Chapter 4: Let The Training Begin! (P.S This Chapter might be a little boring but it will get better trust me)
As the sun rose, lighting the dark sky, I arose bright and early to start the road to redemption. I brushed my teeth, but on my regular orange jump suit, got all of my equipment, and had a nice good breakfast since I would need the energy. I rushed out of my house in excitement. For the first time in 6 days I felt happy again. I knew that this happiness came from the promises that I made. I know all of my friends are counting on me, and I know I can do it! I will bring Sasuke back! And Orichimaru too!
I ran outside of the village into the forest. I summoned my Shadow Clones.
" Hey you guys! I want to congratulate you on what you guys do for me. But that's not the point! We have to try our best to get stronger! So I need to work on your coordination and charka control. I want you guys to be able to not just disappear when you get hit only once! I want you to be able to take more than that, and I know you can!" I shouted in praise and criticism at my goofy doppelgangers.
"It…kind of feels weird talking to myself. Well not really talking to myself sort of like a guy that looks just like me but that is kind of like talking to myself but not really technically…AH!!" I said in frustration and the fact that I was really nervous.
"Ok enough playing around! Time to get started!" I said with a grin..
I worked on my Shadow Clone technique. I would have physical brawls with them and I usually always get the first hit. I attacked them and they would always poof away when I only hit them once. Every clone I tried to train would always poof away with only one successful blow.
"Damnit! Why wont you guy's stay and fight instead of just poofing away to avoid the pain!" I shouted at my clones in pure frustration.
I kept summoning more and more but they kept poofing after only one blow. I continued to this only to receive failed attempts. I ran out of charka and fell on the ground out of exhaustion..
"This is hopeless… I cant keep going on and on like this" I said.
I rose up and brushed of all the dirt of my clothes and turned my frown upside down (yea I know THAT WAS CORNY!)
"I can't just give up on my first day! I have to try harder!" I said.
I used all of my body's willpower to summon one more clone. It seemed slightly stronger than my other clones, I kept attacking it but it managed to evade every blow till finally I put him in a position in which he could not evade close ranged attacks in mere nano seconds. I punched him hard in the stomach and the force of the punch only made him slide on the grass. I did it! My clone can now take more than one minor attack!
"Yata! I did it! One step down and many more to conquer!" I shouted to the heavens with pride."
I then felt the scar on my chest burning again, the painful sensation made my legs go numb, making me fall to the ground.
"Damnit! Why wont you leave me alone!?" I shouted.
After a couple of seconds of enduring the pain that got worser and worser by the days that went by, I passed out. I awoke several hours later in a dark cell.
" Where am I?" I wondered.
It was pitch black, I could not see anything at all let alone myself, I tried to look around for any source of light but I was unsuccessful.
"Hello! Anybody here!" I shouted into the black abyss I was in.
How did I get here, and why is it so dark. I continued to ask myself various questions until I came to one conclusion… I'm inside my psyche.
" How the hell am I inside of my mind" I wondered.
Suddenly… there was a flame that was lit in front of me. Out of pure curiosity I tried to reach that source of light. When I ran to close I was rewarded with a blast of fire that busted like a time bomb. Somehow I was not injured.
When the fireball exploded, a strange liquid that eliminated a bright red light was shot out. After minutes of investigating what this substance was, it started to bundle up together and form a replica of the Nine Tailed Fox.
" Who are you?" I said as I began to cower in fear.
" Why… I'm your inner power. Without me you are utterly useless. I seem to be having a problem with that mysterious scar on your chest, its nothing I have ever seen!" The large fox demon said.
"Whoa! You can talk!" I said in amazement
'Of course… you think of me as cute, helpless, fox? NO! I HAVE THE POWER TO DESRTOY VILLAGES WITH ONE STRIKE OF MY FIST!" The Fox demon shouted.
" The scar on your chest is transforming my power into something more powerful. I do not see any good outcome of this but I think it will help you in your quest to become stronger you ugly, annoying brat. I give you full willpower of "most" of my abilities." The Fox demon lectured
" Hey! You cannot be talking about ugly you boil infested freak! If you do not like me so much then why are you giving me all this power! And just where the hell are we!" I shouted.
The Fox Demon simply replied, " If you die…I die and I do not want that. And we are in your psyche. Now enough of these questions and leave me be you mediocre shinobi!" The Fox demon shouted in anger.
The Fox Demon huffed up a giant gust of air and blew me away. I awoke in the same place I passed out. But when I got up… I was a different me and not the kyubbi, but something different.
"What is this strange power?" I wondered.
It felt good. I felt…. Strong and all my worries disappeared.
" I like this power" I said.
The charka that emitted from my body was bright blue.
This isn't me… this is a different me…. I think I like it….
