Revelations Part Two
"Right, who's next?"
"Come on!" Yahiko jumps into a pose like Jiraiya would and points at Zegram "I Yahiko, of the Hidden Rain, choose you!"
Zegram looks straight at Yahiko "Hmph. Fine. All the dramatics, let's get this over with…" The two move into position, they both stare at each other for few very long minutes, as if they were having some physiological battle "Well come on then!" Zegram's patience is wearing thin.
Yahiko readies his sword and lunges at Zegram, "He's fast" Zegram swipes to the side but Yahiko is already striking at him, Yahiko hits a substitution, slices right through the log a clean cut.
"I must say, you're fast, but you're predictable…" Yahiko goes in for another attack, a thrust something that he won't have time to dodge; Zegram knows where he's aiming, he parries Yahiko flawlessly and leaves him wide open, Yahiko suffers a punch straight to the gut, it hit hard Yahiko sputters blood "Yahiko!" Konan almost jumps into the fray.
Yahiko hits the floor, he regains his footing making a distance between Zegram, and he wipes away the blood, and looks at Zegram with a smirk "Alright." Yahiko takes a breath "Predictable? Let's see you use that blade of yours, you make the first move this time." Yahiko baits him into striking first, Zegram's sword is shining silver curved blade with a purplish tint in the sun.
Zegram's begins his approach building up into a full sprint, he jumps and using the full weight of his sword slams to the ground, he then goes into sword play with Yahiko both bouncing of each other. Yahiko uses his katana for quick cuts and mobility whereas Zegram uses the weight of his sword for strong heavy attacks, they reach and standoff, both pushing against one another "What do you call that kind of fighting, huh?" Zegram looks right at Yahiko "Jumping around like a scatty cat clawing at a ball of string." The two clash again, both blocking and attacking "Come on, I could cut you in half with one attack…" Yahiko slashes and jumps back.
"Don't think you can psych me out, I won't let you get inside my head." Yahiko shrugs "I doubt you could cut me in half, with that flimsy tooth pick." Yahiko laughs to himself and folds his arms "What's next then?"
"You little…" Yahiko sparked a reaction from Zegram; He makes a fist which begins to generate a deep orange flame which leeches to his sword, Zegram begin his sprint toward Yahiko for an attack, Yahiko get ready to block him, they clash again and again.
Zegram keeps up the pressure and eventually the heat from his blade causes Yahiko's to be untouchable "Damn it…"
"Well" Zegram picks up Eaito "Let's just see how you do without this." Yahiko draws a Kunai, Zegram is on him fast all Yahiko can do is back up, he hasn't got time to form seals for Jutsu. Eventually Yahiko gets his chance and stun Zegram for a couple second giving him enough time "Water Style: Water Fang Bullet!" a vortex of water erupts from the ground, brutally pummelling Zegram, dousing the flames on his sword as well, Yahiko pulls the sword from the vortex and when the water clears it's over, Yahiko holds his hand pointing like a gun at Zegram's head "Its finished."
Water Style: Water Gun Technique aimed directly at Zegram "Hmph." Zegram realises he is beat "You got lucky kid."
Yahiko jumps in the air "You see Nagato, you see Konan!" Konan and Yahiko both hi five each other and celebrate his somewhat minor, but still worthy, victory.
"Wow Zegram…" Jaster says while giving him the eyes.
"This isn't funny." He goes into a sulk shortly after.
"Well only Jaster and Nagato!" Kissala touches Jaster's shoulder and he gives a quick nod.
Nagato, completely lost in a day dream, is pushed out by Kissala and rudely brought back to reality.
"Right let's get this over with, hmm Nagato."
Nagato gives a quick nod "Right." Konan and Yahiko both pay extra attention to this fight due to the power that Nagato has at his disposal.
Nagato puts his hand to his side and draws a Chakra Rod surprising Jaster, he draws his crimson red sword that has a slight reddish glow near the hilt, and Nagato goes in first swinging fast to keep Jaster moving and dodging. Even though Nagato may not seem it, he has the most aggressive fighting style of the three.
Nagato keeps up the pressure using shuriken as well as his Chakra Rod, not giving Jaster a chance to weave any signs or time to attack, Jaster jumps to avoid Nagato and is left open in the air "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!" Great flames are sent hurling at Jaster, He draws his sword and with one lumbering swing cuts through the middle of the heat leaving him unharmed, Nagato suffers a few minor burns, he still needs to master his fire release.
Jaster lands and lunges at Nagato cuts right through him "He weaved a clone? He's even faster than I expected…" Jaster is surrounded by four clones and Nagato himself. Each one jumps in at the same time, Jaster can't block them all at the same time. He places the end of his sword and begins to spin fast "Here goes!" whipping up a tornado of sand around him dispelling the clones and sends Nagato back.
"What was that? He didn't even weave signs." Konan asks as she shakes of the sand.
"Jaster uses his sword to channel chakra into the ground giving him partial control over whatever it touches, the finer the material the better." Kissala replies.
"All right!" Jaster yells, three earth clones erupt from the ground, two grab Nagato's legs stopping his movement and one appears right in front of him looks straight into his eyes, for a few moments Nagato is completely still "Get out my HEAD!" He releases his chakra with an Almighty Push crippling the clones and causing a crater around him.
"Nagato!" Konan grabs hold of Yahiko who also looks visibly concerned for his friend, they have both seen him release that kind of power before but only in life and death situations. Even Kissala looks worried for him and Jaster.
Nagato takes a breath, regaining his composure "I hope that worked…" Jaster whispers to himself, Jaster goes in for an attack they both clash, Nagato seeming somewhat slowed. Nagato slashes at him but Jaster cuts the Chakra Rod shattering it into shards many of which cut into Jaster he can feel the power of the Rinnegan through them, this leaves him stunned giving Nagato his chance he puts his hand on his chest, and uses the full force of his palm and sends him flying, but he stands back up ready for the next offensive.
Jaster's sword begins to glow a bright mix of colours, he places he sword on the ground and crouches slightly and in an instant he reaches Nagato and lands a devastating cut across Nagato's chest not going deep enough to bleed heavily but shallow drawing blood that soaks his clothes, he coughs up a little blood and moves back.
"Nagato…" Kissala looks up at Konan she knows what she is thinking Jaster and Nagato are both pushing the limits.
Jaster gets ready for another attack, Nagato isn't fast enough to dodge them, and they attack too heavy to be blocked by anything Nagato has, Jaster strikes again this time slashing downward across his arm, this time the cut went deep and blood drips from the wound.
"Yahiko he' going to get himself killed…"
Jaster prepares again for a final attack, he launches but just as it is about to land Nagato activates his Rinnegan push him back but he isn't down yet, Nagato is weak the amount of blood he is losing is becoming critical, he focuses on Jaster and puts his hands together and the ground around Jaster closes around him he narrowly dodges it. Nagato creates a Chakra Rod and shatters it to pieces, Nagato send shrapnel at Jaster "Earth Style: Mud Wall!" the wall crumple showing that Jaster had been hit by and blood begins to soak his clothes.
They both stare at each other neither going to give up, Nagato puts out his hand and Jaster is dragged toward him with a chakra rod waiting for him, and Jaster readies his sword to use the force of the pull to finish him.
"Enough!" Kissala pulls back Jaster and Yahiko pulls back Nagato and Konan get in the middle just in case either of them tries something. Both fall unconscious in their arms the amount of blood that both lost, sends them into shock.
Every team watched them battle, and every team watched them being rushed to the leaf hospital, and now every team has had a taste of what Nagato can do, including the rain team that had their eyes glued to the three during the Hokage's speech.
Nagato wakes up in his bed, arms and chest bandaged, to find Kushina looking over him "IDIOT!" she slaps him across the face "Ow…"
"Why would go that far over a spar!?" She slaps him again "You could of died, do you realise how much blood you lost!?" This time she shakes him heavily "We all thought you were going to die!" This time she hugs him tight "I'm glad you didn't die!"
Minato appears behind Kushina "Maybe you should go easy." He says with a worried smile.
Kushina turns on Minato, eyes sparking with fire "You think we should let him off easy!?"
"Err no I just think…"
"He needs to be taught a lesson! He has an exam to prepare for! He can't go around fight willy nilly!"
Minato looks at Nagato "I'm glad you're alright Nagato." Minato takes an angry, crying and emotional Kushina away to give Nagato, Konan and Yahiko some peace.
"Nagato do you realise how close you came to dying?" Konan asks as he takes his hand.
"I know Konan it was stupid of me." She looks right at him "Is Jaster okay?"
Yahiko chimes in "He's the same as you beaten but not broken. Nagato do you realise what you were doing; you were like pulling and pushing him and all kinds of crazy crap! I mean I've seen you do it before but not with that kind of control."
"I know, I don't know… It's like he went inside my head and I don't know, it just, well things just became clear, it's like a head ache going away and leaving your mind clear."
Yahiko giggles "Do you realise how crazy that sounds?" he smiles at Nagato and they bump fists "You're bloody crazy."
The three giggle together "We have one more day to prepare for the first task" Konan says "You are going to stay in bed. I and Yahiko are going to spend the day together getting supplies, among other things…" Yahiko looks at Nagato with a cheeky smirk "We are also going to make sure Jaster is okay and see what we can find out about that team from the rain, whilst you were in the hospital Kissala was telling me about them." She points at both of them "Don't say anything stupid!" The three then exchange general pleasantries until they all finally fall asleep from a fairly hectic day.
"The Genjutsu is broken, he is gaining control of the Rinnegan, and I suggest we act now before he becomes an issue."
"No, we can't, we will arouse suspicion, bring him to me and I'll deal with him, use the exams as a cover, the final part of the exam is your opportunity, don't fail me."
"I won't, Ill update you again soon…"
