Takahiro made hand signs for Fireball Jutsu. "Fire Style: Fireball/"
"Stop!" Ryuunosuke suddenly cut in, he was sitting down watching Takahiro train using his Kashi-ka. "Try again."
"Ryuunosuke, that's the fifth time you've stopped me without any sort of explanation."
"Again Takahiro," Ryuunosuke said.
Takahiro sighed and made the hand signs again. "Fire Style: Fireball Jus-"
"Stop!" Ryuunosuke said again, getting Takahiro extremely angry.
"Ryuunosuke!" Takahiro yelled. "Would you stop doing, next time I'll target you with the Justu!" Takahiro yelled, then made the hand signs again. "Fire/"
"Stop!" Ryuunosuke said again.
"What did I just tell you?" Takahiro asked, turning toward Ryuunosuke and making the hand signs. "Fire Style: Fireball Justu!" Takahiro yelled, this time uninterrupted by Ryuunosuke, who smiled as the fireball justu erupted from his lips, flying toward him.
In response, Ryuunosuke opened both his eyes. "Third Release: Kyanseru." Ryuunosuke said as he held up his hand, and the Justu diminished before him. "Excellent," Ryuunosuke told Takahiro.
"Ha, well I guess I showed you huh, I knew I could do it the first time." Takahiro boasted.
"You're wrong," Ryuunosuke said as he stood up. "Had I let you go through with the Justu any of the previous times, it would have blown up in your face."
"What do you mean?" Takahiro asked, seeming to calm down finally.
"You're capability to use fire style jutsu is still low, and after so long, it's going to be hard to train you to summon up the right chakra to use fire jutsu. if you don't put the right chakra's together, you'll just end up have the fire nature chakra blow up." Ryuunosuke explained.
"I see,"
"That's why I did what I did. Sometimes a chakra nature can be brought forth more easily when you experience a certain emotion. Fire corresponds to anger or rage. Making you angry at me made the fire nature chakra come forth more easily."
"Oh, if all I need to do is get angry, then you should have just told me that from the beginning. I'll just think of the person that I hate!" Takahiro said, beginning to form the hand signs again.
"You mean Orochimaru?" Ryuunosuke asked, and Takahiro just grinned as he unleashed another fireball jutsu easily.
"Although, just getting angry each time won't make you a master. It may help it come more easily, but to master it you'll have to practice gathering fire nature chakra normally."
"I got you,"
"Well, that's enough for right now. We should get moving." Ryuunosuke said.
"That's all well and good, but where exactly do we go?" Takahiro asked.
"For now, we'll head west, toward the Land of Wind."
"Why's that?"
"Why not is a better question. All we're doing is trying to keep from being found by Anbu from you're village."
"I guess you've got a point there." Takahiro agreed, and the two started off.
6 weeks later
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Takahiro called and shot a large fireball at Ryuunosuke.
"Third Release: Kyanseru!" Ryuunosuke said and held out his hand, negating the jutsu. "Second Release: Kogeki!" Ryuunosuke switched and ran at Takahiro jumping to his side and spin kicking him where he couldn't dodge, then jumped back before he could counter. "Now, Phoenix Flower Justu!" Ryuunosuke called and send many darts of fire down on Takahiro.
"Water Style: Water Pulse Jutsu!" Takahiro said and water erupted around him to send out a wave of water in all directions to stop Ryuunosuke's fire jutsu.
The two stopped and stared each other down for a moment, but then Ryuunosuke relaxed himself. "Good work, hard to believe you've gotten the hang of using fire style justu in just over a month." He said.
"Thanks, but you got to give yourself proper credit for that, your Kashi-ka is really helpful for training people." Takahiro said, sitting down.
The two of them were still heading for the Land of Wind. Had they been going strait through to it, they would have gotten there a long time ago, but they had been stopping for quite some time in each town they past. They weren't in any sort of rush, but they also couldn't take too much time.
"We're just about at the border to the Land of Wind, once we cross it we'll head strait to the Hidden Sand Village and stay there for a few days while we figure out where to go next." Ryuunosuke said. "We'll set out tomorrow after getting some food and sleep tonight."
"Sure thing, best get back to the hotel now then." Takahiro said, and the two of them headed back to the village.
Right now Takahiro and Ryuunosuke were the River Country's Village, Tani, where they had been staying at a hotel. They had been here for about a week, so it really was about time for them to hit the road again. On their way to their hotel, they noticed a shop that a few ninja were gathering at, and thought they should look at what was going on.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Ryuunosuke asked one of the ninja.
"The owner of this shop is having his monthly ninja tool sale. Each month he puts out a bunch of ninja tools, including popular and rare ones that you can't find at the other ninja tool stores around here." The ninja replied.
"Really, maybe we should take a look then." Ryuunosuke suggested, looking back at Takahiro.
"Nah," Takahiro said. "I've never taken to using ninja tools, my justu has always been enough for me."
Ryuunosuke shrugged. "I think I'll take a look myself anyways." He said and looked at the ninja tools on display.
The store owner had everything from average kunai and shuriken to ninja pills and exploding tags. He also had his special ninja tools displayed on the back wall, including things like demon wind shuriken. But there were a pair of blades that caught Ryuunosuke's eye. These blades were long, thin, the blades were shaped to look like fire, and they appeared to be meant to attach to the arms, having large grips on the blunt sides of the blades.
"What are these?" Ryuunosuke asked the store owner.
"You've got a good eye boy." The store owner said. "That is a fancy pair of chakra blades."
"Chakra blades?" Ryuunosuke inquired.
"That's right, I got that for a fairly low price from Konoha, the Hidden Leaf Village; and they have an interesting history. They told me these were originally custom made for a specific person, so it would only work with her chakra." The store owner told Ryuunosuke.
"Custom made to work with a specific person's chakra, is that even possible?"
"Apparently so, anyone else who tried it couldn't get it to work."
"Mind if I take a look?" Ryuunosuke asked.
"Not at all, but there just blades being used by anyone else." The store owner warned.
Ryuunosuke put the blades on his arms, got used to how they felt for a minute, then closed his right eye, activating Kashi-ka, although. "Hm, interesting..." He said, then after a moment flames appeared on it, showing that Ryuunosuke made them work for his chakra.
The store owner was surprised. "H-how did you do that?" He asked.
"Can't tell you, that's a secret between me and the person these belonged to."
"Did you know the original owner?"
"No, but I do know why no one else could get these to work. So who did originally own these." Ryuunosuke asked as the fire vanished from the chakra blades.
"That's the most interesting part of the blades. The guy's that sold this to me didn't know exactly who, but they said they were originally used by an Uchiha." The store owner said, and that peeked Ryuunosuke's interest in these blades.
"So how much?"
"Considering you can get them to work, that makes them a lot more valuable. 300 is what I'm asking for."
"That's a bit much," Ryuunosuke said shifting through his money. "I'll give you 150, how's that?"
"No chance, I want at leas 250 or no deal." The store owner said. Ryuunosuke thought for a moment, but decided he wanted these enough to put forth the demand. He sighed and gave the money for the chakra blades, and went back to Takahiro.
"So how did you get those things to work?" Takahiro asked as Ryuunosuke strapped the blades to his back.
"Sorry, I can't tell. I was serious about the 'keeping it a secret' thing." Ryuunosuke replied.
"I got, I got it, I guess I understand." Takahiro said, and didn't press any farther as they made their way back to the hotel.
