Riley's Diamond Storm attack inspired from Renaming from Digimon Tamers and Sunfyre inspired from Game of Thrones.
Riley's POV
Three weeks passed since Rhoan and I arrived in Konoha. My little brother made a quick recovery and when he saw Kakashi and Hiruzen for the first time he was very shocked. Then like the fan he was he asked Kakashi for an autograph which confused the Copy Cat Ninja. But the silver haired Jounin happily complied flattered he had another fan.
Kakashi and Hiruzen were skeptical of me and Rhoan being from another reality at first. But after showing them a video on my phone didn't they believe me. Hiruzen then stated our whereabouts be kept secret. For one thing dragon shifters in the shinobi world were low. Two rogue ninjas would definitely want one of our kind in their grasp.
Since I had no idea how long Rhoan and I were going to be in our current situation the Third Hokage gave us an apartment that was below Naruto's. It was completely furnished and the next six months rent was covered. But Hiruzen made it clear we needed an evaluation to see how well we could fight. Then whatever ranks were assigned to us, we could do missions as contribution for staying in the village.
Rhoan and Naruto immediately hit off with each other which didn't surprise me. Sakura seemed to like my brother as well. I definitely caught her eying him the same way she looked at Sasuke. And speaking of the Uchiha, Sasuke remained impassive when it came to me or Rhoan.
Throughout the first two weeks Rhoan and I trained with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura because Lord Hokage informed us last week we were ready to be evaluated. Despite not having Chakra like most of the ninjas, my water magic made up for that. Rhoan and I were taught how to use kunai and shuriken thanks to Team 7. And by Team 7, I mean Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.
Now Rhoan and I were heading to the training grounds where our evaluation would take place. The both of us had worked hard for this moment. Rhoan wore a silver t-shirt under a black vest. His shorts were dark grey and he had ninja wrap around his ankles and the ninja sandals everyone wore here. His hair hung in a pony tail and I could tell he was eager. He had his bag full of ninja gear wrapped around his torso.
I wore my sleeveless dark blue top over black pants which stopped past my knees. I wore black ninja sandals and had ninja wrap around my right knee as well on both my elbows. My ninja gear was in the pouch that was provided for me and my katana lay within it's scabbard. The sword had been a gift from my father when I turned sixteen. Learning how to use it in combat hadn't been easy but I never gave up learning how to wield it.
Because of its golden hilt I called it Sunfyre.
"Check out who's here to watch" Rhoan said getting my attention.
Up ahead was Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.
"What are you three doing here?" I asked them as Rhoan and I came to a stop.
"To watch you" Sasuke replied. "Kakashi is your opponent"
"No surprise there" I replied.
"You two will take Kakashi-Sensei down! Believe it!" Naruto exclaimed.
"The bastard just not better be late" Rhoan growled.
I flashed my sibling a look just as Kakashi's scent caught my nose. I turned along with the others as the Jounin walked over to us.
"Good morning! I hope you and Rhoan are ready Riley" Kakashi greeted as he stopped in front of everyone.
"Didn't cross paths with a black cat huh?" I asked the Jounin.
Naruto and Rhoan chuckled and even Sasuke smirked at my remark.
"Well uh not today no" Kakashi answered his face turning slightly red.
I then heard the familiar ring of bells and the Jounin held up two of them. This got everyone to do an anime fall including myself.
"Really Sensei?! Your making them do that!" Naruto protested.
"This is a good way to evaluate them Naruto" Kakashi explained. "All Riley and Rhoan have to do is take these two bells from me"
"And if we don't get them during a certain time frame we don't eat lunch" Rhoan added.
"Lucky our metabolism rate can sustain us for a day, we didn't eat since last night" I finished.
Kakashi nodded before taking out a clock and placed it on a stump. He set it on a certain time before looking to Rhoan and I.
"You two are allowed to use your elements as well as kunai, shuriken, and the sword, and if you feel it is necessary you may shift to your dragon forms"
Just try not to mess up his face my dragon teased.
I shot her the middle finger and she roared a laugh before she went silent.
"Alright" Kakashi said.
The others backed up as Rhoan and I got ready to start the evaluation.
"Start!"
Rhoan and I immediately separated from one other and went to hide within the forest terrain. Ninja must know how to conceal there movements and hide well. I didn't stop until my dragon half and I found a spot that felt satisfactory. My claws elongated and I sliced away the leaves so I could see where Kakashi was.
The Jounin was standing in the training field and I sweat dropped because he was reading Make Out Tactics.
Rhoan should make the first move since he is smaller my dragon told me.
Agreed I responded.
It didn't take long for Rhoan to make his move. Rhoan emerged from wherever he hid and was quick to take his dragon form. A second later he was in the air above Kakashi flapping his wings. Rhoan's dragon form was like mine, four legs, two horns on top of his head, and frills on his tail. Only his were silver with dark grey membranes in the wings and his tail frills. His eyes were icy blue in this state.
But since he was a teenager Rhoan was a smaller dragon than mine was. But he was just as strong. Rhoan opened his mouth and roared making the wind around the field go wild. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura had to get out of the way of Rhoan's roaring. Rhoan ceased his roaring and Kakashi's right eye was bug eyed.
Rhoan the flew downwards and landed on the ground in front of the Jounin. Using his tail he grabbed a hold onto Kakashi's left ankle holding the Jounin in place so he wouldn't move. I chose that moment to run out of my hiding spot with my kunai ready.
It wasn't long until I was behind Kakashi but then smoke came out of nowhere and a log was wrapped around Rhoan's tail.
"Crap!" I exclaimed. I shot Rhoan a look to get out of there which he did and soon he was gone. Kakashi had pulled a substitute jutsu move. A technique I was expecting and I chose that moment to high tail it back to another hiding spot. I didn't want to take risk of the Jounin to pull the Earth Style Head Hunter Jutsu on me.
I chose a new hiding spot and waited for my dragon half to finish examining our surroundings. Something shiny caught my eye and a bell lay in front of a tree. Kakashi wasn't an idiot he put the bell there on purpose. Smirking I looked for something to activate the trap and found a stick. Grabbing it I silently moved closer to the trap and carefully hid behind some rocks.
I again sensed my surroundings and nearby did I scent Kakashi. I then threw the stick right on top of the bell and the trip wire activated. Kakashi appeared out of nowhere and he looked amused.
"You definitely seem to know what your up against Riley"
I chose that moment to ambush him. I drew out Sunfyre and swung it forward. My sword met with his kunai and we moved back and forth in a dance of blades. The bell from before was back on his belt but I wasn't going to fall for that trap.
I quickly turned Sunfyre around and used the hilt to stun Kakashi in the stomach. The Jounin grunted and jumped backwards away from him. It was time to show this ninja my water magic. I put Sunfyre back into its scabbard and called to my element just as I jumped into the air. I held my palms out and focused hard on my water turning to ice. This was a technique I learned when I turned ten and it had taken me a year to master it.
Ice crystals formed above me in large numbers and Kakashi's right eye was widened.
"Diamond Storm!" I cried before unleashing my attack.
The swarm of ice came down upon Kakashi and the Jounin began to jump backwards to avoid getting hit by the ice. The last of my ice shards hit the ground at the same time I landed. Kakashi panted hard and I smirked.
"Not expecting that weren't you?"
"Definitely not" Kakashi answered. "But it will take more than a mere attack like that to get a bell"
He then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Damn it!" I swore.
I looked to my right, left, above, and then behind me.
He's below you!
Just as I was about to move Kakashi's gloved hand shot out of the ground and grabbed hold onto my right ankle.
"Sorry but that's not going to work!" I exclaimed and I quickly shot out freezing water at Kakashi's hand. It worked and my foot was free again. I high tailed it and chose another damn hiding spot.
He's really giving us a work out my dragon joked.
Yeah he is I agreed as I panted.
Rhoan's POV
I held a smirk as I watched my sister disappear into the wood surroundings. Thanks to her water magic she avoided being pulled underground. Kakashi pulled himself out of the earth shaking his hand so he could warm it up.
"Rhoan behind you"
I turned and swore because the real Kakashi knelt before me. The other one had been a damn shadow clone!
The Jounin made hand signs before activating a Genjutsu move. I decided to let my dragon half take over hoping he wouldn't fall for the illusion. Leaves swirled around and a few see once later I was in another part of the forest.
My dragon half eyed his surroundings carefully.
"Rhoan"
My body turned and together my dragon half and I saw Riley. She was covered in blood and many weapons were within her.
"Help me little brother"
I swore before my dragon let out a stream of profanities and together we both fainted.
Riley's POV
I quickly followed my brothers scent after I heard his profanity rant. It didn't take long for me to find my sibling passed out. Kakashi must have used Genjutsu on him. Using my strength I scooped up Rhoan and placed him over my shoulder before I moved again.
I checked my watch and an hour and half had passed. I needed to find a place to wake Rhoan up and form a plan before time was up. I chose a spot near the memorial stone and placed Rhoan down onto the ground.
"Your one hell of a fighter kid" I praised him.
"Thanks sis" Rhoan replied opening his eyes. I helped him sit up.
"Damn I can't believe I fell for his Genjutsu!" he protested annoyed.
"You'll overcome that down the road now we need to work as one to get those bells"
"How the hell are we supposed to do that?" Rhoan demanded.
I thought for a moment and an idea came to me.
"If we combine our elements that might be enough to distract Kakashi"
"Unless he uses his Sharingan"
"He won't or else he would have used it by now" I replied.
The cute Jounin is nearby my dragon added. It's not a clone
I smirked at her remark.
"Let's go kid"
"Alright but I hope this plan works"
Together the two of us headed in the direction of where Kakashi was. The Jounin was back in the middle of the field reading his damn book.
"A frontal attack? You two are definitely overconfident"
"Say goodbye to your book!" Rhoan shouted and he called to his element. The wind again picked up and it began to blow harder than last time. Rhoan landed focusing on keeping the wind strong enough. Kakashi moved backwards thanks to the wind and his book flew out of his grasp.
I chose that moment to leap into the air and again ice crystals formed around me.
"Diamond Storm!" I cried.
The ice shards let loose heading directly towards Kakashi. Kakashi having no choice covered his face and closed his eye. Rhoan still controlling his element ran like hell towards the Jounin and used a kunai to cut off the bells from Kakashi's belt.
Once safe out of the Jounin's reach Rhoan returned to my side and tossed me a bell. I smirked at my sibling before going over to Make Out Tactics. The book was in good shape and not ruined during Rhoan's windstorm.
"Well that was certainly interesting" Kakashi said to us as we walked up to him.
"You shouldn't close your eyes during an attack like that" I told the Jounin as I returned his book to him.
Kakashi chuckled and he smiled behind his mask.
"Holy crap you guys really got the bells!" Naruto explained as he, Sasuke, and Sakura came over to us.
"That's because they worked together loser" Sasuke told his teammate coolly. Naruto sent Sasuke a glare and I went over to the Uchiha and was quick to smack him on the head. Sakura protested but I shot her a look that made her shut her mouth.
"You shouldn't refer to your teammate as a loser" I said to Sasuke firmly. Sasuke rubbed the red welt on his head and looked at me with annoyance.
"Word to the wise Sasuke, don't say anything to piss off my sister" Rhoan warned him.
"Noted" Sasuke muttered.
For lunch Naruto suggested we go to Ichiraku. The blonde treated us to lunch in celebration for getting the bells. Afterwards we went to Lord Hokage's office. There Hiruzen would read Rhoan and I our results from our evaluation today. Sasuke, Sakura were along with Ino, Shikamaru, and Choiji were in the office. Both Kakashi and Asuma were present as well.
"So these are the dragon shifters?" Shikamaru asked lazily.
That comment got me flash him a smirk.
"Are we a drag to talk to?" I asked.
Shikamaru's tired look because an amused one. Ino eyed Rhoan and she was blushing. Rhoan noticed this and he shot a wink at her. Ino had always been Rhoan's favorite character. Hiruzen cleared his throat and I turned my attention towards him as did my brother.
"From today's evaluation it is clear you two can fight" Hiruzen began. "Riley you're ninja rank is between a Genin and Chunin level, while Rhoan you are right at the Genin stage, however it would be wise to place you two as Genin for the time being, the Chunin Exams are coming soon, and if you work hard can rise to the Chunin rank"
"Makes sense" I agreed. "I don't want to automatically become a Chunin just because I'm older than most Genin"
"I definitely like her" I heard Shikamaru say.
"And with all Genin we will place you two in squads, Riley you will be placed with Team 7, Rhoan you will be with Team 10"
I looked to Rhoan.
"You okay with this kid?"
Rhoan nodded before turning back to Hiruzen. Two Konoha leaf headbands lay before the Hokage.
"As of today you two are ninjas of the Village of Hidden Leaves, congratulations"
I stepped forward and picked up the headband that was meant for me. It was larger than Rhoan's and it was the same shade of blue. I tied the headband around my forehead and it felt right. Rhoan finished tying his one and he looked like a bad ass already. Now that we were Shinobi the two of us were ready to take on the ninja world and whatever it threw at us.
