"Ok, students, can anyone tell me one of the three types of fighting ninjas use?" asked Iruka sensei.
Kumo raised her hand to answer thinking, Ha! This one of the easiest things to remember. The three types are Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu. "Yes, Chikyuu-chan?"Iruka-sensei spoke as he pointed toward Kumo.
"One type would be Taijutsu, or more known as hand to hand combat," Kumo answered in a know it all tone with her eyes closed and a small smirk on her face.
"Very good! Now, I would like you to show an example by sparring with Lee," the brown haired instructor said as he directed her towards Lee .
Nice, Taijutsu is one of my strongest types of combat. This will be really easy, the brunette thought as she still wore a smirk that graced her lips.
"Alright, Sensei," the brunette spoke and then stood at one end of the sparing field and Lee on the other. The two ninja walked forward, locked eyes, and bowed. But one thing Kumo didn't realize was that she blushed slightly as she locked eyes with her opponent.
"Hajime!" shouted a chorus of students telling the two shinobi to begin fighting. Kumo went straight for a punch at Lee's torso, but didn't even make contact because Lee quickly shifted his weight and round house kicked at Kumo's feet, Kumo wasn't fazed though. She landed on the palms of her hands in continuous back flips avoiding Lee's other kicks and punches, but did not see she was heading straight towards a tree and slammed into it…hard, landing upside down.
"Ok, OW!" the brunette shouted followed by laugher and a few insults from the crowd of students. "Haha, looks like Black Widow can't even take on Dork Lee!" Wow I must really look stupid right now the brunette thought.
"Well, looks like someone is fast on their feet, but not good with direction," a voice spoke tauntingly. The brunette turned her head to see the owner of the voice, only to find that it was none other than Sasuke that spoke.
"Shut up, Sasuke. Just shut up," Kumo muttered under her breath still upside down as she looked up at Sasuke then blushed slightly because she could tell he wasn't meaning to insult her, she could see by the look in his eyes like he wanted to really say "Are you ok?". The female shinobi got back up on her feet and walked back words the crowd of students but not before whispering, "I'm fine Sasuke, but thanks for the concern," and gave him a small smile.
"Coward" a voice behind Kumo called out. Kumo froze in her tracks. She could feel her blood boiling more with each second that ticked by. The brown haired girl whipped around, seeing Lee stand there. She grit her teeth.
"What did you just call me?" Kumo shot over her shoulder at Lee.
"Coward," he replied, still looking at her with an impassible face. "A Shinobi that gives in so easily to their opponent, they don't deserve the title," the black haired boy spoke, quoting their teacher.
"But a Shinobi must also know their limit," Kumo replied, now turning her body to fully face him. "And now your pushing yours," she added, now getting annoyed with the situation.
"Whatever, you Spoiled Princess." Lee insulted her back. Said insulted girl's blue eyes widened. That was it! He called her the one thing she hates being called.
"OK, THAT'S IT!" Kumo shouted. "I'M NOT A PRINCESS!" She started to quickly walk towards Lee with her fist clenched before throwing the first punch in the second match of the fight. But he dodged quickly with ease, going for another round house kick at the brunette, making her do another back flip. Sasuke watched with ever slightly more widened eyes than usual, filled with interest and concern at the same time. Quite a rare mix for the hot headed shinobi.
"Haven't you learned anything? "The boy questioned the girl still moving through with his attacks.
"Of course I have," the female shinobi said slyly as the girl landed on her palms again she shifted her weight to the lower half of her body into a reversal spin kick. "Black Widow Wind Kick!" the blue eyed girl shouted as she kicked Lee square in the torso, knocking him down onto the ground. Slowly, the girl stood up straight, surrounding her ears with the sounds of her fellow classmates astonished by her technique. But to her annoyance, he got back up for more.
"I'm not done yet," Lee managed to speak with the wind knocked out of him from the previous attack.
"Don't you know when you are at your limit? you're not going to win this fight!"
"Says you. My honor is on the line," the dark haired shinobi retorted, readying himself and then finally giving the girl the "bring it on" motion.
"That is enough, you two!" the sharp voice of their sensei cut through the air as he stepped out in to the fighting area in an attempt to stop the two's pointless fighting.
"See if you can counter this," Kumo said tauntingly as she did hand seals and two of the female ninja appeared and shuffled around. "See if you can find the real one of us, hehehe" the three Kumos taunted, flipping their hair out of their eyes revealing the one fatal flaw in the female ninjas shadow clones the clone to her right had dark red eyes, to her left had green in the center was the real girl, but only Lee noticed this.
Lee smirked "This is way too easy," he scoffed and looked at the girl in the center before he jumped up in the air. "The real Princess is in center!" the black haired boy then lowered his leg into a drop kick. The Kumo in the center blocked by crossing her arms. The other two clones disappeared. "Ninjutsu is not your strong point isn't it?" Kumo growled slightly before jumping up and kicking Lee in the side once more before landing, facing his back as he sat on the ground on one knee.
"I'll give you props for that, but I told you," Kumo's smirk returned and she clapped her hands together. "I'm no princess." She then did the hand signs bird, tiger, dragon, horse, ram, and then rat before crouching down low to the ground and putting her hands on the earth below her.
"You're kidding me right?" Lee spoke, smirking slightly before a blue light appeared below the brunette's hands. His smirk gradually faded away. A low chuckle could then be heard from the girl as she slowly rose from the ground. One hand was in her pocket while the other hand rose with the earth that was taking shape. She then stood upright, the creation nearly finished. Once it was, it was apparent that it was a spear. Kumo gripped it, bringing her head up and flinging her hair in back of her before she twirled her spear out in front of her, holding it with two hands that were facing opposite directions.
"Now really, would Princesses put their hands down on the ground?" she asked. Lee was speechless. He didn't know what to do. "Bring it on, Dork-Face."
Sasuke, who's eyes slightly widened even more, smirked and then closed his eyes. Looks like this will be interesting after all, he thought as he looked back up at Kumo and Lee.
