Note: the ending of chapter 3 was a flash back for those of you who didn't understand =P
Sorry for the confusion!!
Back to the story--
Returning back to reality I stood there in front of the Uchiha who claims to have missed me along with the rest of Konohagakure.
"Let's get started, shall we?" I asked, mentally preparing myself for anything he would throw at me.
"Let's," he said, grinning.
"I don't know why you are smiling, because your destiny is to lose," I told him, in total confidence of my abilities being better than his.
"Sharingan," he said; as his eyes turned red, and a pinwheel like motion took place around his pupil.
"Ha, Byakugan," I said, as my eyes concentrated; the veins surrounding my eyes were now visible for all to see.
"Our eye traits seem to be evenly matched. Now let's see which of us trained the hardest," the Uchiha said, as he moved his legs apart in a confident battle stance.
I got into the Hyuuga Style: Gentle Fist stance. I stood there, waiting for him to make the first move.
Slifer began to complete yet complex hand signs. Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu," he said, then released a strong flame as he blew at his finger tips.
'Damn, this fireball is stronger than any that he's done before,' I thought to myself, while jumping back just in time to dodge the intense heat of the fire.
I looked around to see if I could find a way to get around him and sneak up behind him, but I knew he was reading my every movement with his Sharingan. In the distance I saw Zabuza coming my way. ' maybe he's coming to apologize," was the only thought on my mind.
"So much for the Byakugan. You're wide open," Slifer said; his fist was inches way from my face at this time, and it was rapidly moving closer.
He punched me threw the tree branch I was standing on, because I was concentrated on the slowly moving closer Zabuza.
"You got soft on me, Shinji-kun," he said, chuckling.
"I was distracted, by the man coming this way," I said, rising to my feet.
"Team get ready for anything," Slifer said, now worried.
"He won't interfere with this fight, trust me. If you still can that is," I told Slifer, in hopes that he would try and believe me.
"Sure, I believe you," said the happy Uchiha, whom was standing in front of me on the ground.
The rogue shinobi, Zabuza, was now standing in front of me in order to protect me.
"Zabuza, don't harm them," I said stepping in front of him.
"Why not, Shin?" he asked me in confusion.
"This is mine and the Uchiha's fight, no one else's," I told him in reply.
"Okay, but if the other's try anything I've got your back," Zabuza said grinning through his bandages.
"Thanks, Senpai," I said blushing at the fact that he was there to try and protect me.
"No problem, Shin," he said as he embraced me, which took me by surprise.
"Hey," the impatient Uchiha yelled at me. "Are we gonna sit here cuddling, or are we gonna finish this fight?" he asked repositioning his body into his fighting stance.
Zabuza released me from his embrace as he said, "Go for it, and don't hold back."
"Okay," I said to him. The whole time I was thinking, 'He really does care.'
Zabuza was on the other side of our fight, as to avoid conflict with the leaf shinobi.
"Now, where were we?" he asked me as I went back into Gentle Fist position.;
"Somewhere around here," I said waving my arms around to unleash my newest move. "Gentle Fist: Air Palm," I then said as my moving air current, that carried him off his feet, knocking him against a nearby tree.
"Ughhh..., hmm..., you're pretty good," the arising Uchiha said wiping his mouth.
"Thanks," I said not letting my guard down this time.
"You're lucky I let you get me with such a lame move," he said chuckling.
"What?" I asked confused.
"I saw it coming I just wanted to see your power," he explained. "Now, here's the product of all my hard work," he said as he began to make a new set of hand signs. Ox, Hare, Monkey. He clutched his right hand, as his flow of chakra went straight to it. "Chidori!"
'His chakra is so powerful, that it's visible,' I thought, gasping in awe.
