Naruto: Mark of the Arashi Kanji Clan
Chapter Two: Ambition
11:00 A.M. A small village nestles in the now stormy weather. Nearby the village was pond where rare fish would breed. However, the population of this village was none. Not one soul called this place home.
"Screw you, I can do that justu better," a long black hair man shouted. "Whatever Kazuki, my technique is far superior," stated a short black hair man.
In the middle of a battlefield two men are bickering and comically thinking to choke each other of air.
"I'm far better than you Kazuki," the long haired man stated, throwing a right hook. "Says who, I could defeat you what my two hand behind my head," the man named Kazuki chanted.
"Kazuki, Akio, cut it out, "a dark violent haired woman shouted, violently grabbing both men's ear. Both men grunt before defusing their disagreement.
"Geese, and too think that you're brothers. You two bicker like little tikes." "Is that so Haruka," Kazuki replied, stroking his long black hair. "Yeah, should you be playing tongue hockey with Toshihiro," Akio added. "Dang bro, you just iced her there. "Totally frozen!"
Both brothers commence to high-fiving each other. Haruka just sweat drops and grabs their ears again.
"First off you little runts, what I do with Toshihiro are none of your business and second, you didn't 'ice' anything. If it wasn't for Yoshihiro, I would do so much evil things to you morons. Now, let's go to headquarters." For what," Akio pondered. "We're planning our attack on the Rock Village today and we need to stay sharp. Do you comprehend? "No doubt," Kazuki added. "I'm in," added Akio.
The three proceed to knuckle fist each other before walking down a grassless area. After twenty minutes of non-stop walking, the three arrive at a dojo. As they open the door, the walls and the floor are wooden and two floors just ahead. The three soon slowly walk to the second floor. The second floor is similar than the first except the roundtable that lays in the middle of the room. Two men are sitting down patiently.
"Now, where all here," Haruka retorted, crossing her arms. Soon, a man with long spiky, golden and light blue hair man stands from his sit. He respected bows to every people in the room. That was Toshihiro Shadou. He is probably one of the most recognizable criminals around. From the black trench coat, his black pants that sports blue graphics of a broadsword to his tapped hands. His techniques are almost behind Kage level except some minor weaknesses that he keeps hidden at all cost. Plus the strains of these Justus mentally scar his brain cells. But still, he has boat loads of charka.
"Now, let's discuss business," the man stated. "Today, when the full moon takes the beaming sun's place, we are going to make our move."
"Toshihiro," a big bury fellow with a sword attached to a holder that connects from his back. "You know that there are ninja approaching, trying to capture us. "I'm fully aware of that Yuudai, but you see, I've thought of two hundred and five ways how this planned assault can prosper."
"Wow, you have no life," Akio stated jokingly. Haruka just gives him a dirty look. Yoshihiro suddenly smirks.
"It's okay darling, Akio is just joking. Now, as I was saying, we can retrieve the Bloodstone in many ways. I have my suggestions, so what's yours."
Akio soon waved his hand hyperactively. "How about we dress in all black, where black cloths that cover our face and then threaten their lives and then we can m-" "No," Kazuki stated interrupting his brother. "See, we need to attack properly," Yuudai replied. "And the only way I see so is to cause a diversion. Once the Kage sees this, he will require immediate backup. Then, when everyone is focused on one of us, I will use my Ishi Prison Justus to trap the villagers and then, we take the Bloodstone.
" "Agree," Akio replied. "Let's party," Kazuki added. "Good plan," Haruka stated. "Then, it's agreed," Shadou smirked.
"So, who will be the diversion, "Haruka pitched in. And at that moment, Haruka, Tuddai and Yoshihiro simultaneously glare at Kazuki and Akio.
"Well Akio, it looks like you're the distraction," Kazuki beamed, patting his little brother's head.
"Why the hell do I have to be the diversion," snapped Akio.
"Because I'm the oldest brother and I said so Akio.
"More like the stupidest. You can't even spell your own mane."
"It's not my fault that it's difficult to write with pen! "
Really, all you do is writing on the paper Kazuki! It's so damn easy!"
"Screw you. What's with that crap you call hair."
"My hair should always be messed up like this. Mother always she loved it."
"Mother lied. She always said it look like you stole a piece of a bear's fur!"
""Take it back Kazuki!"
"Enough," Tuddai shouted loudly. "No more agreements," Yoshihiro instructed. "Since you two conduct act like infants, let's play a game. Rock, paper, scissors. Loser is the diversion."
The two brothers commence in a rock, paper, and scissors game. The two's intensity is very unnecessary yet comical at the same time.
"Rock," they chanted. "Paper, scissors."
Both men draw their hands. Kazuki draws a rock and Akio throws out scissors. Akio instantly realizes that he is defeated at Kazuki taunts in his place.
"You lost," Kazuki taunting, once again padding his brother's unique hairstyle.
"Now that this nuisance has gone away, let's get ready to leave," Yoshihiro instructed.
The four leave the room, but soon, Haruka walks back into the room. She walks toward Yoshihiro and strokes his chin smoothly.
"Yoshihiro," Haruka stated. "Why do you tolerate them?"
"Loyalty is a beautiful thing Haruka," he responded. "And although at times they display child-like demeanor, but at the end of the day, they are my friends. I have faith in them and vice versa. Even back to days when all five of us were still in the Hidden Rouga Village, I knew this day would come. After everything we have been through, you of all people should be pleased."
"What does that mean Yoshihiro?"
The pure white man gently rolls Haruka's right sleeve, revealing a nasty scar.
"Remember that day. Remember the suffering, the pain you felt that day. I promised that you would never feel that pain again. And I've made sure of my deal. If it comes down to it, I'll sacrifice my life for you. I would sacrifice my life for Kazuki, Akio and Tuddai. I was taught the hard way about loyalty and I'm not losing the people that mean too much to me. I simply won't allow it!"
For the first time in a while, Yoshihiro shows emotion in his face. Haruka soon stares at Shadou's blue eyes deeply.
"I'll never leave your side," she responded before engaging a lengthy passionate kiss.
6:30 P.M. in the Hidden Leaf Village. The night has taken over the once beautiful cloudless sky. Nearby the gate, Shikamaru waited for his squad to arrive.
"Man its boring waiting for them here," Shikamaru thought. "This mission is such a pain and that fact that Naruto's on the squad increases my chance of a migraine. "
A just as that thought concluded, Sai suddenly arrived next to Shikamaru.
"I'm here," he stated, giving a smile.
Soon, Rock Lee along with Kiba walks by the two as well.
"Where's Naruto and Sakura," Kiba pondered resulting in Akamaru pouting.
"He better come soon of I'm ditching him," Shikamaru declared.
As he stared into his daydream, rain began to fall again.
"Oh great, now it's raining," complained Shikamaru. "This is such a drag."
"Wait, wait, wait," a familiar voice called as it drew closer and closer. It was Sakura and Naruto running due to the rain and arrived at their teammates.
"Finally, for a moment, I thought you would never come," sighed Shikamaru, covering his hair from any further rain.
"Sorry, something came up," Sakura stated although she really wanted to slap Shikamaru in the head.
"Let's go," Naruto eagerly stated, walking out of the village before his teammates.
"Yeah, my migraine is just beginning," Shikamaru stated, holding his head as the rest of the gang began their mission!
Notes:
I planned this to be a talking chapter. Mostly about the Arashi Kanji Clan and their past will be touched on next chapter.
An interesting thing was that Haruka was supposed to have red hair, but after realizing that Sakura and Karin have red hair, I figured Haruka would get a different look. And if you don't know, Haruka and Yoshihiro are boyfriend and girlfriend to give Yoshihiro a dimension to his character.
Next chapter: The Arashi Kanji Clan attacks. Will Naruto and crew stop them before it's too late?
