Ducking as a couple shuriken came towards my head, Pushing off the ground and running back towards Hayashi. Noticing almost to late i jumped backwards nearly avoiding paper bombs, but he moved me where he wanted me when a rope trap grabbed my ankle and pulled me up, as fast i could i cut the rope with my water, landing on my feet, running towards his left side as he tossed Kunai at me, blocking them with my own, when he quickly threw a scroll at me, recognizing the word I pushed chakra in my feat and jumped backwards with more strength to get out of his shadow grab scroll barely getting away.
Kuro was more helpful to me learning how to move and fight being a front sword fighter himself. With hayashi it was different but i started to learn how to be a upfront fighter and getting in close while avoiding traps, and long range jutsu that keep him out of direct combat. He liked to fight from the sidelines, the place i would rather be but with this new water skill i needed to get in close.
Grabbing another scroll i recognized, water, my eyes got big as he opened it, trying to jump up onto a high branch of a close tree almost making it when the current got my leg and pulled me down, i hit the ground with a roll and was pushed backwards, before i could get up he grabbed another but i have seen this move before, Lightning. I traded with a log i saw from behind him, just in time as he lit up the water, burning and scaring the bottom of the tree., I was standing behind him when it triggered my dream, it started to come back to me but different.
I was trying to flee when i saw the burning sparks on my wall catch up to me, i was not fast enough as one spark hit my finger, going through my body the pain was horrible as i fell to the ground, I tried to get up pushing my body off the ground my arms shaky and weak, watching as the lighting continued on in my floor, quickly burn away. That was it, it was a small moment.
"I remember" i whispered as Hayashi thrown two shuriken at me, i was stunned and i did not react to them, Just as they were about to hit my head Kuro body slammed me to the ground Bringing me back to reality "What the fuck Ava" Kuro said in anger as he got off me but stayed kneeled next to me, as Hayashi ran over "are you okay?" "Oh" i said a little Disorganized, "I remember the sparks" They both looked confused. My head cleared, Jumping up while getting a hold of myself and dusting my ass off. "Before i came here, i guess i was in a earthquake that made my computer... well like a tv, it sparked my home up and burned me and the house down, while i got electrocuted" i said quickly and like it did not matter, "that is all i can remember, not sure how i got here just yet" Making water come back on my arm, "who's next" as i turned towards them, they both just stared at me with the same baffled look, even Kuro and that made a small smile cross my face, while i looked at him still kneeling on the ground.
"You died" Hayashi almost yelled, "no i don't think so" i calmly said, a little angry for no reason. They still made the face, "you did not die from that" Kuro's snarky voice was also pretty loud, Sighing, "I don't know, but in my flashback i was getting up, and even if i died, how would i have gotten here, Look you know as much as me can we let it go" kuro dropped the look off his face, and Hayashi nodded, I thought back to my dream, and decided not to tell them until i was sure of anything, there is no way i fell from the sky.
"So who's next" moving my arm towards my chest, i spun my water around my arm, being strangely angry it was more spiky then normal.
Spent the next couple days fighting with my team, and trying to get better at the skills i have. Between Fixing the town and training i was pretty busy, without a Hokage us low guys were not sent on any missions.
Poking around the Library wanting to learn something, hoping to run across any small jutsu, i found the small flame on your finger like Hayashi did that one time, Trying it out i failed i guess i need to be fire or a better ninja to use it, sighing as i put it back.
That was when i ran across something interesting, i saw a scroll with my favorite Pokemon, The nine tails just angrier and red. I was confused as it had a small amount of information on it. My heart sank when i found out where they put these guys, what a jinchuuriki is. No real information about the others they said were in all different hidden villages and i wondered if that was what Naruto was, maybe i will ask Iruka sometime.
I just continued to poke around, I read about basic sealing and i could see why Hayashi was so interested it was really cool, also i found some information on genjutsu and found a small party trick i could try. I can easily dismiss it, would i be any good?
I found something called Distortion: This is a simple illusion. Reading as it said it did Such things like changing the room number on a door, changing the words on a sign, it does not do any damage. Trying it out on the closest section number, did the hand signs and pushed like my clones. I made the number get a little fuzzy, but that was all.
With a confused face I pulled out my book i held onto since i was with Iruka and wrote down the hand signs to try later at home. It is nothing powerful, but if i can do it i am sure i will find some use.
Hayashi had gotten me signed up for a trap class, I was so excited as i ran to area it was at, it was a small open field but mostly part of an open tree line. I slowly walked up closer looking around it was filled with a few kids from six to sixteen, Giving a wave to the instructor, She was a cute girl with ear length leaf green hair, dressed in a mesh top and dark gray ninja pants, a thin flowing gray jacket and her big deep brown eyes that looked at me with curiosity and was definitely younger then me. Feeling embarrassed i guess i was the last and they were waiting for me. glad to know she knew i was coming.
She started with the kind of traps we will learn about, Rope traps, Paper bombs, trip wires, Log drops and Making a pile of rocks land on someone. A big smile on my face as i stuck my thumbs in my skirt and just listened.
We started with Rope traps. Learning how to do this correctly was nice but it was pretty easy as i did it once with Iruka. When she came over to see how i did, "I can't see it", She tripped it, "well done" she smiled at me patted my shoulder and moved on to others, the young ones needed some help with this one. She was so kind, watching her with the kids you could tell she loved to teach.
When everyone got it right we moved on to trip wires, This was new to me trying to get it in the perfect spot so it did not reflect light, she also taught me how to double it with a smaller line just behind it, It was the most important one to learn you can add anything to it to make it a good trap, it was the basics of all the rest. Took me a few times to get it right where it was completely invisible.
We were starting to set up the wires correctly to the paper bombs. The first one i did ended up blowing up, it was just a poof of smoke but i coughed as i waved away the smoke everyone started laughing, The kids really enjoyed it. I was not alone everyone blew up at least three, some more then others we all had a laugh when it happened. The youngest were the most entertained by it, it was nice to see them act like kids. I started to get angry that they are being taught to become soldiers, It was not right.
Setting up the log trap was harder, first i had to find a big log, It would be easier to find outside of city. Trying to hold up the heavy giant log while i tied it to the tree was difficult, once i got it stable i slowly got down to attach the wire to a tree when i slipped and it came hurtling at me, dropping to the ground as i just avoided it, the kids all started laughing at me, i gave them a happy sheepish look as i got back up, but it started a wave as a few kids while laughing also dropped theirs, no one got hurt but the teacher had to help hold up their logs again.
Being the first to get it right she checked my log out, it was not perfect but it worked as we stood back and she tossed a Kunai at the wire, "almost perfect, you are not bad at this" She said with kindness, I smiled at her, "thank's for teaching me" Wanted to say and thank's for being kind to me, but i kept that inside when she spoke in her kind voice "Glad you are taking a class to learn, you are trying that's all i could ask for".
The rocks were harder then the log, had to collect big boulders and get them all in a net, trying to set up the trap was almost impossible i could not hold it like the log, Helping me out she showed how to hang on a tree upside down was easier as u hold up the net and make the wire go over a branch with her help it was simple. Feeling a little dumb once it was so easy.
It was a long day, but very productive so glad i had a new skill and she gave us all a roll of wire for completing the class.
A thought occurred to me, it was like a video game having to go find a skill you want and ask people to help you learn, you have mana, The ability to change your looks and you had to fight. Smiling at the silly idea i fell into a video game.
Running for hours as i pushed myself in speed and stamina, giving up when it started to get pretty late, I was slowly heading home going roof to roof. Passing a bar as a couple ninjas walked out, a second later they were beside me, one jumped in front of me making me stop, when a second one went to push me off the roof but i dodged it. Surrounded by three drunk ninjas feeling nervous. "You should not be here" a blonde spoke in anger, wearing a Chunin vest, and the normal garb. "Ya, go home" a second girl said, she had short dark blue hair also in a chunin vest, but with a pink semi dress and shorts underneath. I just stood there silent unsure of what to say.
The man in front of me dressed in the normal Chunin garb in blue sneered at me anger in his eyes, looking like he would pounce at any moment. "You will never be a ninja" The blonde yelled at me, The blue girl slurred out "Hayashi deserves better then you" my eyebrow raised at that part, Hayashi? "He is deaf to flirting, if you want him tell him" just slipped out of my mouth, she looked taken aback then in thought. The man got angrier went to shove me again i slightly stepped back making him trip, drunk fool and it made him more angry he pulled out a Kunai, I was slightly scared but also starting to get angry. Standing there i made sure to show none of my emotions.
My body was incredibly tense, "We should end you" He almost growled while he lightly swayed. "Ya we don't need you" The blonde yelled. The other stood in silence, i think the only beef with me she had was about Hayashi, He is very popular. A strong need to defend myself, Pushing the need too cover my arm with water as it might instigate a real fight and that would be a mistake.
"I will cut you all over" The man spoke, waving his kunai in my face "Write my name in your skin" Fuck this guy is beyond creepy, making me step back again. "ooh the little girl is scared" the blonde spoke in a high pitched voice. I wondered after the hokage died when this would happen. The blue girl said nothing but will obviously back them up no matter what. Pulling out her own Kunai the blonde smiled in a creepy way, "Let's do it" she shook it lightly in her hand.
Feeling cornered and doomed, I slid my hand slowly into my pocket, opened the water bottle and pulled it on my hand out of view, They stepped closer, "Well bring it then i am sure three chunin can easily take down a weak ass alien" I will be going down with a fight. My hand covered in water, standing my ground. So sure i am about to die or at least be beaten near death.
When i was grabbed by the waist and the world went by so fast, faster then i have ever been. Looking up it was Guy, a serious look on his face as he stared straight forward, So this is the speed of a jonin. A second later We were in my home and he put me down. "fuck your fast" i mumbled, he looked down at me serious, a very strange look for him.
Feeling embarrassed "Thank you" i said quietly looking at me feet, "I thought i was about to die" It felt wrong, baring my real feelings.
For the first time i did not feel safe in the city, He was lost in thought not saying a word. I was annoyed as i could feel tears coming, shoving them down successfully but with a random need i grabbed him in a hug, He was stunned at first but then hugged me back. My head on his chest it was the kind of hug that made me feel safe. "Sorry if that was inappropriate" i said as i backed up, He gave me a small smile. "Just glad i was coming by", "Me too" i whispered.
"I need to check on kakashi" He said as he moved towards my window, "What happened to Kakashi" i asked eyes wide, "classified, but he is passed out in his bed" i nodded as he left worry in my heart not just for me.
I quickly moved towards my window shutting and locking it. Sighing i dug around in my cupboard and grabbed some chips and a drink, Plopping on the couch i turned on my new old school t.v, "I miss the ones from home" i whispered, Flipping through the small amount of channels finding something that seemed like a comedy, Feels like i went back in time. I started stuffing food in my mouth.
Slightly bored, while semi watching i pulled out my book to try that Genjutsu. Writing my name on a paper i stuck it to wall sat back down and tried to change it. Failing over and over, the only thing that i can do was make it fuzzy, giving up i turned back to the t.v.
Sitting there a strong feeling of failure set over me and for the first time here, a tear fell down my face, a big need to go home in my heart. I was so tired of being scared and it did not matter how hard i pushed myself people were still stuck saving my ass, mostly everyone hated me and now my life is in danger in my own home. I must have unlocked something because i started to cry curling my legs up while i sat on my couch, putting my head on my knees while i watched the show with tears down my face, I want to go home this place is changing me.
Letting myself cry, wiping my nose repetitively when a funny moment happened on t.v and i lightly chuckled. I started to feel better i just needed to wallow, cleaned up my mess took a fast shower and went to bed. Post crying, fresh shower i felt wonderful as i curled up cuddling my blanket. I wonder if i will ever go home.
Sitting up legs over the side, stretching my arms to the sky and yawning i sat there for a moment in confusion at what i felt. I made sure i was covered in the right places and walked into the living room. Hayashi and Kuro were both there, "Morning, no matter what i do i just can't make coffee like you" Hayashi spoke a little puzzled as he was filling the pot up. "Why was your window locked" Kuro asked as he stuffed his face with crackers.
A dumbfounded look on my face, I took over the making of the coffee as he watched me make it, "That is what i do, i just don't get it" I smiled and yawned noticing my window was back open, "I knew it was pointless to lock that" i slid into the chair opposite of Kuro. I was so sure they were waiting for me to ask, but it made me not. I grabbed the crackers from Kuro pulled out a couple and gave it back, small smile on my face as i slowly nibbled them.
Hayashi looked around my apartment "What's with your name" Pointing at the paper i put up last night, "Oh, It's nothing just a failed attempt at something i was trying".
"So you got a t.v" Hayashi looked curious, "It is pretty big hmm" If i was drinking something i would have spit it out. "What" He looked confused, reading me easy again, I just shrugged, but he persisted, I just shook my head my eyes big. "What, are they bigger at your world", I nodded, Kuro seemed interested for once. Saying i had to change i got up and went to get dressed, I had a feeling if i answered there would be a lot of questions.
I would have to explain a lot of things and maybe even get on a tangent about the internet and about how we really no longer have channels and most people use tv's for games or netflix and like streaming, how most people pirate shit from there computers and it would start with "How much bigger, and what do u mean thinner".
I got ready, i was sure we had a mission why else would they be here, so i made sure i had everything before i joined them in the kitchen. Walking out i grabbed a cup of coffee and sat back down to sip it, Hayashi already had his own looking at me "so good".
Hayashi noticed i was ready "We are being sent to relive a team on guard, now it's our turn", Nodding and sipped some coffee, "We just watch, and if we see anything we send a bird", They use birds? So old school. "When" i mumbled, "well, Now" I drank a little faster while nodding.
We ran for a bit when i felt three people ahead, Landing on the ground i looked up to a tower, it looked a little old, i noticed under it was a small cabin and a bit off to the side there was a cage of birds. The three chunin were so glad to see us, one gave us a quick rundown but basically nothing happened then they were gone. We all jumped to the top sitting on different sides, Hayashi was on the left facing south, Kuro on my right facing north, and me in the middle facing west, In-between where we sat there was a crappy useless railing.
The early morning sun barely seeable passed the giant tree branches, Sitting quietly in mid forest i could here animals and birds everywhere. "Soo how long will we be here for, days?", hayashi answered me "not sure, until they relieve us really", i just sat there swinging my legs over the side.
I guess there is a lot of towers like this all along the boarder and we are on high alert for different ninja villages to come and see if we are vulnerable.
Sitting in silence, "Hey do you guys know how to use Genjutsu", "what do you need?" Hayashi asked, "I Just was trying a basic one and i don't fully understand how to use it", He told me some simple tricks. Looking around i saw a blank piece of board stuck to a tree in front of me, it looked like something used to be there and i did the hand signs with his help.
Turning the wood into an arrow saying 'my place' and a simple two half circles drawing with dots, i made boobs Giggling to myself and kicked my feet like a child.
Kuro got it basically right away and smirked, But hayashi asked me to explain what they meant and i just couldn't. Sometimes he seems so innocent "It was nothing just seeing if i can make a simple drawing" Beeming with pride that i did it. "I was never good at genjutsu" Kuro mumbled so quiet i almost did not hear, i was curious if he was sad about that. "I never really cared for it" Hayashi spoke, "Scrolls to me were much cooler and more versatile".
Lied back staring up at the big branches, There was a tiny bit of sunlight way up there. Kuro was leaning on the railing one leg over the edge. Hayashi was completely turned, both his legs over the side, but he was writing something on paper. "So no one should be running by right or will some leaf come by", "I don't think any leaf will come, besides relief" Hayashi sounded distracted.
A long stretch of silence Hayashi made a noise, we both looked over as He jumped to his feet, startling me. "I think i got it" i swear he could almost jump he was so happy. I followed him when he jumped down, curious what was so exciting, spreading the scroll on the ground, bit his finger to draw blood, did some hand signs and smashed his hands into the scroll.
I watched as lines of chakra spread out in every direction in a very pretty pattern, Watching it in amazement as it slowly dispersed. "What did you just do" Looking at him like he was amazing, He looked up at me beyond ecstatic, "I did it", "But what did you do" Kuro mumbled.
"It is a perimeter seal, it goes out 100 yards and will notify me if anything has entered the area with any sort of chakra higher than your basic animal" He was so happy, "I wanted something like you" he said elated, With this there was less pressure on me "awesome" smiling at him, "sealing can do anything i take it", he nodded big smile on his face. "It is not like your's but it gives enough info on the direction they are in if they touch the ground or a tree"
"Can you feel us" i asked curiously, Closing his eyes his smile slowly faded from his face, he opened them and looked between me and Kuro puzzled a couple times before he nodded, He was starting to act strange "what's wrong" i asked worried. "Nothing" he said quickly as he jumped back up. I looked over at Kuro worried, He did not seem to understand either.
I followed him up, he was sitting cross legged face in his book and scroll all over the ground, looking at him with a question on my face but he did not look up, legs back over the edge i lied down Kuro joined me and we kind of stayed there in a T formation. "I guess with both of us we don't need to use our eyes" i mumbled, and Hayashi nodded a small distracted smile on his face.
The sound of the forest was comforting and peaceful, unsure of how much time had passed but i had to voice my question. "You couldn't see me could you" i asked with a little worry, He did not speak so i looked over at him, sitting up like Kuro did before, back on the railing i just looked at him.
"I never told you but during the exams there was this sand ninja", He looked over at me, "He was blind and i think he saw with chakra" this time Kuro opened his eyes and looked over, "He could not see me". Hayashi looking back down and back at me, and he nodded reluctantly before looking back at his scrolls.
"I still am not sure if it was because i was so weak or if it's because i am wired wrong" I think they were both listening but not looking at me, "before i took him out, and man it was fun to be invisible" Kuro smirked. "He yelled, 'why do you look like the worlds chakra', I don't know what that meant", Kuro was emotionless but Hayashi gave me a look of curiosity before he faced back to his scrolls in thought. I was hoping that would have made him less skittish, but i guess not.
"Well at least if i ever run across one of these perimeter seals they wont see me" i mumbled. This time he looked up with interest, "ya" he shook his weird pencil at me "Ya" he mumbled and went back to whatever he is doing. My heart would break if he turns into all the others because of this. Looking at Kuro, he seemed to be fine but i don't know. I lied back down, The forest was still peaceful but i was tense afraid Hayashi will hate me now.
Time went by and then Hayashi startled me by tapping me on my forehead with his pencil, opening my eyes he was flapping a piece of paper at me with a tic tac toe board on it smiling adorably, sitting up and spinning on my legs the tense in my shoulders faded. We played for a few rounds until Kuro noticed what we were doing, so i taught him how to play, we did the whole play the winner deal. Smiling as i watched them play, they loved this game. "Do you have any other games?", "Let me think about it", all i could think of was stupid child games and pictionary, I don't know how much paper Hayashi had, or even if they would like it but for now they were into this.
I just let them play, and decided to to look around. I ran around for a bit branch to branch stretching my legs, pushing my speed. Landing back by the birds i walked over to them, inside was three birds i did not touch unsure if it was wrong. "Hey there" i spoke quietly as one shimmied down the branch towards me, "Hi pretty bird" Opening it's wings, i got a good look at the spot on his leg they put the note. A second on jumped onto the cage and made it's way over to me, "Who's a pretty bird" this one made a noise at me as it looked at me sideways.
Hayashi was next to me in second, "your talking to the birds" he looked at me like i was strange, "I don't understand how that is weird" i smiled at him and the bird on the side of the cage made a noise at me, putting my face closer "who's a pretty bird" it flapped its wings at me.
"So these guys are trained to go to the village?", he nodded at me. "Smart birds" i quietly said to them, Making noises back to me bringing a smile to my face. "you done with the game", he nodded as i stood up straight. I just turned and went to look inside the small cabin. There was four hammocks in it, two right above the others wondering if it as easy to get into i saw a small fridge powered by a big battery. Opening it there was some water and a pack of opened cookies. I picked it up, looked at them they were in good shape so i tried one.
"Really, you just eat random food", I looked at him cookie half in my mouth, shoving it all the way in i ate it fast as i handed him the box, "It's good" i mumbled mouth full, "You are strange sometimes" as he grabbed a cookie taking a couple nibbles before he took a bigger bite, "It is good". He then grabbed a storage scroll, and took out a lot of food, drinks, snacks and a couple boxes of food and put them in the fridge, "eat these" he spoke in humor and walked away. "Thank you" I yelled out as he turned outside, grabbing a drink i went back up top.
Yawning, my back to the railing, looking at the blank canvas this wooden place was i pulled out a Kunai and wrote my name, the same lame way i always do, Ava was here. Hayashi looked at me confused, "It will be here when i'm not" i mumbled, "in my world i have my name in two different places of concrete", "concrete?", "ya, well rock"
I don't think he want's to graffiti this place but Kuro did, putting his first name next to mine so it said Ava, Kuro was here. Smiling at him, "maybe it will start something, next you come here you got to see if others start putting their name", "The way you said that made it sound like you don't think you will be here" hayashi spoke as he played with words on a scroll.
I looked up at him shocked and thought about it. "I guess it does" speaking slowly i smiled, Kuro just stared at me. Maybe i don't think i will be around for much longer.
The sun was going down, it was a long day up here. "So same rotation as last time" Kuro asked, he was technically leader, but Hayashi sometimes almost seems to be it. He nodded, "i am not sleepy yet" i mumbled as i scratched a small happy face next to my name.
It was not long until the sun had set, Being deep in the trees it was almost impossible to see.
"So do you got any badass scrolls i have yet to see?", "there is one i recently learned, it is a giant fire dragon that explodes on contact, but it is a big mess to open anywhere safe", "nice, i have to see it", "ya i have to master it but i will be able to turn it into other elements eventually without needing to be that affinity", he spoke with excitement. "ya, scrolls seem fun". "They can do so much, it is slightly hard to master, you would think writing things on paper would be easy, but it is not", I just listened as he talked with emotion, he was very passionate about this.
Entering the cabin to sleep, Kuro was asleep on the bottom left. Curious about the top hammocks i headed for the top right. It was a challenge every time i tried to lift myself up it spun. Almost making it in, it spun again and i landed with an oof on the ground. "What are you doing" His angry voice rang out, Saying nothing i silently tried to get onto the bottom one, i was almost in when it also spun and i almost fell off but i got balance, Sighing i slowly shimmied to find comfort. "Finally failure" I gave a small giggle, these things are awkward to get into.
I was awoken to kuro shaking me, "Okay". Trying to get out it spun again and i hit floor, "these damn things" I whispered while looking up to see if i woke up Hayashi, it was so dark i could not tell. Noticing he was in the one Kuro was before, they must not like getting in the top one either. Quietly getting out i jumped back to the top if the tower, alone.
I sat there nothing to do, pulling out water playing with it all over my body. It is more fun on my arm I put it back on my right forearm and hand, tried to split it up to my other hand Like water walking holding it on my hands was easy, moving it up my arms at the same time was not to bad, but spinning it was almost impossible, when i tried to spike both, i just gave my right arm tiny cuts, so i just tried to spin both at the same time, felt like i was back to the beginning. Trying to focus on both hands at once was really hard.
Spending all night playing with water, come sunrise i was covered in water and only got i tiny, tiny bit better. When the light finally came through the thick tree's i noticed that Hayashi added his name to ours, Smiling at it my heart was happy. My genjutsu however was gone, I did it again, this time I wrote Morning assholes.
Lying there i felt Hayashi move around below, It was not long until he was beside me but he came up with a couple orange juices and brought a box of something for us to share, it looked homemade. "Did you make this" i asked while eating whatever it was, He nodded with a shy smile, grabbing more "it is good". He had made it for me, something he thinks i never ate before. He is always feeding me, I smiled at him. Because the first conversation about home i said i missed food? At the random thought i paused a second before grabbing something else. "Thank you" i said happily, "this is great", He is a good person, so kind.
Kuro was next to us, a water in his hand and dug into the food, a few bites and he gave hayashi a nod, he must have heard our conversation. Hayashi small smile on his lips. Between all three of us it did not last long.
Hayashi started to talk about a guy he used to know that loved what we just ate, "Do you mean Slippy" Kuro asked, I just looked at him confused at the weird nickname, as a big smile came across Hayashi's face, Looking at me, "He was always getting into trouble", They started to talk about him, i guess they did not know he knew both of them He was a chunin when they were new Genin and helped teach them basic Taijutsu, a kind that most teachers don't teach because it was ridiculous, but they did not know it was so bad.
Sharing a few silly story's of bad situations he got in, Kuro was almost smiling. I just sat there and listened smiling at my team. Hayashi was laughing, i loved his laugh.
They looked at each other having a silent conversation when they both jumped down the the small open area south east, and got ready to fight. Other then one tree i could mostly see them from a top of the tower, so i sat there legs over the side and watched.
They got into just a basic taijutsu battle, something i never see Hayashi do but he was pretty good at it as i watched them block and dodge the others hit's. Hayashi swiped Kuros feet but he jumped, when what came next was so fast as it happened in mid air. Hayashi went to kick his side but it was blocked but with the same momentum his leg swung around to hit him in the head, also blocked, Kuro grabbed his leg and went to toss him as he swung his arm back, both landing on there feet easy they charged back in.
Mid run kuro jumped high with speed as his leg went straight towards Hayashi's head ducking he punched up to hit his chest, but Kuro was already flipping to change direction. When he landed they got into a fight so fast and fought there way up and down trees i could not see. I was about to get in a better viewing area they were back onto the open ground. Hayashi on the ground flipping forward as Kuro went to kick him in the head, Hayashi blocked it as he finished his flip back on his feet, but Kuro was faster and punted him in the side making him go flying, catching himself landing on his feet like nothing happened sliding backwards.
Then they got into a fast boxing match by what i could see i don't think many hits landed.
Kuro was faster and better at it but Hayashi held his ground well when Hayashi went to punch and Kuro blocked it with his hand, covering his fingers over his hand he pushed with his feet and strength he shoved him back with just his fist before almost instantly got behind him and kicked him again in the side as Hayashi got sent flying, he rolled once before getting on his feet and charging back in. Awesome.
Getting back into the fast fight, interested in the speed but it looked like they were having a weird break dance battle that was just a bit on the violent side. Singing a rap song in my head to add to it i started giggling, best break dance battle ever. The amount of strength, speed and flexibility they have is awesome, hoping one day i can fight like that, the amount of fighting that happens mid air was kind of scary.
Taking a break they stood a little apart to breath, When Hayashi looked up at me smiling down on them. "I wanted to show you", He said loudly as he pulled out a scroll, Kuro understanding moved behind him.
Hayashi started to walk as far back as he could in the area, Falling to the ground i stood a little behind but more off to the side as he did a small hand sign and out of the scroll came flying out a huge Fire dragons head, Its body was just a long stretch of fire, it flew so fast and amazing, a split second and it hit the tree, and then exploded loudly to all the rest, making me bring my arm up to protect my face as we were not far enough away, my hair got blown crazy by the shock wave.
I opened my eyes and looked at the trees, the main tree was gone and two more were destroyed in a big circle area, Other's were burned. Staring at them in awe i noticed parts of them were still on fire. "Shit" was all i could say but by my face it was easy to tell how amazed i was. He was smiling adorably when he pulled out a water scroll and the wave put out the small fires. I wonder what other elements will look like, "With water do you think it will explode ice shards?", He looked at me in thought, "That would be cool" Kuro said. Giving a glance to him he had a look in his eyes, he loved the fire dragon.
Spending the morning in a three way Taijutsu battle. They ran circles around me, but every once in while we teamed up for two on one and i noticed i was getting better with teamwork, They are better at reading each other then me, but i am slowly getting better at it.
A pause to catch our breath hayashi spoke with delight, "You're getting a lot better" as he looked at me, "remember the first time we did this and you literally just jumped on Kuros back", his deep laugh was like music, a weird mix between proud and embarrassed I gave a small awkward laugh as Kuro smirked.
Hayashi wanted to make more basic scrolls so he jumped back up the tower where he was seeable. Wanting to fight more i looked at Kuro as he looked at me no emotion on his face.
Covering my right arm with water, He pulled his swords out. Standing there tense and ready.
He moved towards me fast, one sword swung on my left side and the other from the front, Blocking the front sword with my water, i grabbed his shoulder and flipped over his head, bring my feet onto his back i pushed off with chakra moving backwards as i shoved him forward.
Landing on my feet i ran at him but he moved faster and was behind me swords moving towards me, Dodging just barely, i spun to block his next attack, blocking both swords with my water i jumped backwards, but he was on me fast and to avoid him i did a backflip. While i was mid flip he was quickly next to me and kicked me to the side, Such power, trying to move my body so i can land on my feet he was back beside me and kicked me again while i was still in the air, this time i went flying up to the right.
He was suddenly above me but turning mid air i blocked that kick with my water the sharpness of it made him back off to not get cut, as he flipped back onto the ground. I landed on the side of a tree using chakra to squat.
Moving chakra into my feet i pushed off the tree the bark slightly cracking around my feet, Heading straight towards him i watched him smirk, he stood ready, i blocked one sword with the water and my feet landed safely on his second as i flipped off of it with a chakra push almost knocking it from his hand. Quickly landing on the ground i immediately swiped my leg out, he jumped and kicked me in the head. I Went flying, my face in the dirt as i slid ungracefully.
Getting back on my feet quickly, i looked over at him, that was a brutal kick. Running in I blocked a sword as i danced around him with a spin and went to cut his back with my water, it almost reached him but he slid down and slashed his swords out to cut my feet, jumping up and flipping on his shoulder again i went and almost sliced his arm a little with my water but he was fast and blocked it again making me jump backwards and i tossed three Kunai at him, deflecting them with his swords.
I was back in and blocked both swords, we stood there pressing on each other with strength, his swords were slightly getting inside my water as he was stronger then me, making me try and move it faster and spike it more when i chipped a very tiny part of his sword we locked eyes. He jumped backwards, i was able to catch my breath while we just stared at each other.
He did not seem at all tired i was giving my all, unlike him but he was fighting me with his swords so that is a good sign.
Standing there He looked at me he did a small hand sign with his swords in his hands, and then they were covered in fire. Smirking at me. Now my water will be useless right? Well now is the time to find out. I pulled out a Kunai for my left hand and ran at him spinning my water the fastest i could. I ducked as he tried to hit me and i slid under his legs, He spun as i stood up and brought them towards my head, using both my water and Kunai i tried to block them but the fire cut into my water easy, i turned and moved my arm away while i used my kunai to make sure he did not hurt me and with all my speed i was on the other side of the area.
Pulling out a water scroll, he noticed and got up into the tree tops with incredible speed as the wave came pouring out, quickly making three clones around me in a circle as he landed back on the ground and charged towards me, I am doomed.
Doing what i used to do with all our speed we ran around him on the trees and tossed Kunai at him, this time i was faster and had better aim, a lot has happened since the last time i did this. He was in the middle blocking every kunai the speed and precision of him was finally showing. A big smile on my face, When i got behind him i quietly made a fourth and then jumped away to hide but he noticed making a few hand signs he made a big fireball and it took out all my clones.
I was a bit into the trees and i dropped spikes as i ran, he was headed my way, he boosted his speed and was right behind me but he actually stepped on one, giving me a second as he pulled it out of his foot. With no idea what to do so i just brought my water back up on my arm, in the same second i landed on a branch i pushed chakra into my feet to make me bounce backwards as i flew over his head Bringing my water straight onto his back, when he poofed away and a log was there as i cut it in half, while i still was falling my eyes big, i made him Kawarimi.
I landed on a branch as a smile came on my face but just as i landed he was back. His swords were not out, in the short amount of time it took for me to turn my head to look at him, i was surrounded by wire and then pulled onto a tree wrapped up and stuck.
Struggling against it he stood where i was previously, a strange look in his eyes and a smirk on his face. I just looked at him i tried to free myself but i was stuck, arms flat against the tree, using my water i tried to cut the wire, taking a second but i did cut myself down and landed in front of him, but had he been an enemy i would have been dead.
Breathing heavily i smiled at him. Turning to run back towards Hayashi as i watched him. Sticking my feet to the branch i was on and falling forward as a Kunai came at me, hanging upside down with all my speed i pushed on the branch and fell towards the ground, jumping on a second branch i booked it in a wide circle back towards Hayashi and dived into a bush to hide. He was on the ground instantly not to far away, but enough that he did not see me, did i successfully hide?
He ran the path i would have taken had i not hit the dirt, closing my eyes and watched him and Hayashi. We are still fighting? what do i do? I made a silly fast wire trap with one paper bomb looked around the area quickly before i ran to hide again farther away, flat on my chest under a bush i closed my eyes and watched, hands ready.
Having the advantage while hidden i watched him as he stopped moving and came doubling back, a smile on my face.
He got close to my trap but i think he noticed as i saw him stop, pulling water on my arm, got on my feet in a crouched position i traded places with a log, sliding my arm out as i was behind him almost hitting his leg, i startled him as he stepped backwards a foot landing on the second wire and my bomb went off, but again he did Kawarimi, and was gone as it blew up as i turned my back to the tree next to me, a safe spot i was sure to look for.
After the bomb i noticed Hayashi stood up and headed our way with speed, as I felt Kuro come from the opposite way. Standing up looking at my bombs damage they both hit the ground in front of me at the same time, Hayashi looked at us worried and i gave a small sorry to him for it, Kuro looked at me "nice" was all he said.
We then headed back to the tower to do our job.
We were here for maybe just under two days when i saw someone heading our way from the direction of the village, sitting up i startled i made a noise alerting both the guys and then Hayashi stood up, he felt them also. We were standing ready in case when two ninja's showed up.
I guess the new Hokage is in the village and we are being relived to be there when they swore her in. Gathering our stuff we headed home. Worry sat in my heart, I felt safer in the woods looking for enemies then i do about going home and what if this lady does not want me around?
