Ch.2
The Shinobi with the Heart of Fire
It was late at night. I'd say it was maybe a little after 1:00 AM. I was tired, but I didn't plan to stop training any time soon. That's when I saw it. A demon wind shuriken flying straight at me. I wasn't sure where it came from, so I did the smartest thing. "Who the hell's out there? You better come out before I kick your ass half way across the planet!" I yelled.
Evidently it worked because seconds later Keiji Uchiha came out from behind a tree. "So it seems all this training has already sharpened your reflexes. I doubt you'll be able to dodge my next attack though." He said with a smug look on his face. I wondered what he was doing here and why he was attacking me. "What do you want, Uchiha?" I asked. He dove forward without an answer. I instinctively pulled out a kunai which clashed with his sword. "The Sharin Blade, a mighty weapon for the mighty Prince of the Uchiha. Wouldn't you agree, Hyuuga?" he yelled maniacally. I was pissed at the sight of that hot shot know it all bitch. I didn't care if he was supposed to be the top of our class. I was ready to kick his ass. "Wipe that smile of your face, Uchiha. I'm about to show you what this training accomplished. Horse, tiger, ram, monkey, boar, horse, tiger! Fire Style: Fire ball jutsu!" I yelled right before releasing a giant ball of fire from my mouth. Keiji quickly leaped over me and struck from behind. He had me caught me defenseless.
Just as I thought my life was over I felt someone push me. I turned to see Hisashi Sensei behind me holding Keiji's arm. What was he doing here at this time of night, and a more important question, why'd he save me? "What're you doing here?" Keiji asked. "I couldn't sleep, so I was up watching TV when I heard Zika screaming. When I got here I saw you two fighting, but I decided not to intervene. Then I saw Keiji atta …" Hisashi Sensei answered until he was cut off by my question "Why'd you save me?" He quickly answered, "When one shinobi sees an ally Shinobi about to die and doesn't intervene he is considered scum." "I'm not a shinobi." I rudely said "You are now," he said with a kind smile as he pulled out a red headband. I jumped up in happiness. "Yay! I'm a ninja! I'm a ninja!" Then I passed out.
When I woke up I was in my bed, but I was still wearing my clothes. I looked at my clock and it was 3:28 PM. It was a little later than I usually woke up over the summer, but it was no big deal. Then I looked at the headband on my dresser. I wasn't getting a summer break this year. I had to get to Ninja registrations, and they started in 2 minutes! I rushed to get ready, but by the time I left home it was already after 3:30.
As if it wasn't bad enough that I was late, Kin came out of nowhere trying to challenge me to a fight. Kin was my younger brother who hated the fact that I was going to be leader of the clan and not him. "I'm about to kill you, right here and now. That way they'll have to make me leader of the clan. Get ready!" he exclaimed. Every time we fought we were even in strength. I could have walked away, but this time was going to be different. This time I was going to win! I pulled out my kunai. Before he was able to pull his out, mine was flying at him. He jumped to the right as I made hand signs for my attack. I used my fireball jutsu and before he was able to think about what to do he was on the ground with a burnt arm. It was amazing. The power I achieved through that training. I knew it was wrong what I did, but that wasn't the right time to mourn over a bad deed. I had to get to the academy.
When I got there they were calling my name. Just before they tried to skip me I stepped inside to take my picture. After that I went to see the Hokage. "Yo Moegi, Where the hell's Boss Konohamaru?" I asked. "He's obviously not here" she said in an agitated tone. Then the Hokage opened the door. "ZIIKAA!" Konohamaru yelled at the sight of me sitting in his chair. "What up, Boss?" I replied in a smart alick tone. He didn't seem amused. He stepped forward and grabbed me by the shirt and started blabbing about how a mere Genin doesn't have the right to sit at the Hokage's desk. After that I just started nodding off, which seemed to piss him off even more. After he was done I challenged him saying, "Yo Boss, as the strongest ninja in the village I'm challenging you for your position," He smirked and dashed towards me. I then took the chance to use my most powerful jutsu,"Rat, tiger, dog, ox, rabbit, tiger! Fire Style: Phoenix flower jutsu!" He dove out of the way with me behind him. He was finished. POOF!
