Chapter: 9
Konoha's Black Flash.
Menma got up early, today was the day, the day he tests his modified Hiraishin, months of training, hours upon hours of research all done for this day.
He walks towards the Academy building to go speak with the Third, the people are getting ready to open stores and to start their own days, he passes many people on his way to the Academy building, they all stare at him with looks of fear.
After all how can you not fear someone whose face you have never seen, who has eyes that seem to pierce the air itself with an aura of despair and hatred.
Menma enters the Academy building walking through the halls towards the Third's office, someone suddenly touches Menma's shoulder, he grabs the persons arm and starts wrenching it, the person lets out a loud scream, Menma lets go.
"Goddammit Menma what the hell is wrong with you? I don't want to hurt you"
Menma looks over his shoulder to see Shikamaru on one knee holding his arm, " What was that all about?"
"Nothing"
"Very well you don't have to tell me, what are you doing?"
"Nothing that concerns you"
Menma walks away leaving Shikamaru alone holding his wounded arm.
"Shikamaru are you alright, what happened?" asks Ino sounding distressed.
"It is nothing, where is Choji?"
"Waiting in the mission room, I came back looking for you"
"Sorry let's go before they get mad"
Ino helps Shikamaru up and they head for the mission room.
Menma knocks on the Third's office door.
"Enter"
"Third I want to requisition the use of Training Filed 4 for the day"
"What no hello, you have no manners you know that right?"
"I have no time for hellos"
"Well make time, I understand that you hate all these niceties but at least have the proper decency to greet me"
"Fine, morning Third" answers Menma in an annoyed tone.
"Morning Menma" answers the Third with a smile on his face
"I trust you haven't broken our agreement"
"No I haven't"
"Good, now you want to requisition the training field, what for?"
"Training"
"I know it is for training, I want to know what type of training, your last training session put a group of Shinobi in the hospital"
"They shouldn't have entered the training field, it was not my fault"
"Ok no need to get so uppity; what do you tend to do for your training this time?"
"Test the Hiraishin I modified"
"Menma I am not sure about this"
"Why? you honestly think I cannot do it?, I already mastered the one the Fourth used"
"Yes that might be true but trying to use a it without the mark is too risky"
"The only risk is too myself and I am confident in my abilities"
The Third sighs "So am I, I just don't want to see any harm come to you"
"Don't get so emotional old man, nothing will happen to me, I have already looked at every variable, this will work"
"Very well but at least let Genma be there when you test it"
"Fine, I will wait for him, tell him to hurry"
Menma walks out of the Third's office and heads towards the training field.
At the training field Menma is greeted by Genma.
"You tell the Third to tell me to hurry and you arrive after me, a bit ironic isn't it?"
"Are you just going to stand there yapping? I did not agree for you to be here because I wanted to"
"Very well I will get out of your way"
Menma stands at one end of the field, he concentrates on the spot he will attempt to teleport to.
His body starts releasing a yellow aura "Hiraishin no Jutsu!"
His body flicker and suddenly there is a huge explosion.
Genma jumps down from the tree he went to sit in and rushes towards Menma.
He shouts Menma's name as he heads towards the cloud of smoke "Menma!"
The smokes starts to clear and Genma sees Menma still standing, Menma's clothes are partially torn but he seems unharmed "Dammit, if it won't work like that then I have only one other choice"
"What is that?"
"You will see soon enough"
Menma stands at the same point he did the first try, he concentrates on the spot again, this time his body releases a black aura "Hiraishin no Jutsu" He disappears and then reappears on the other side of the training field with the black aura still around him his coat flapping in the wind.
Genma watches in shock as this young Shinobi just used the Jutsu that he can only perform with two others and that the Fourth was famous for on his own and without a mark.
"He is just like the Yellow Flash, no, he is not the Yellow Flash, he is, The Black Flash"
