Chronicles of Jikamaru Chapter 4
Jikamaru could feel Arashi's chakra. "Your chakra is so focused and controlled. You make even me marvel at such control." Complimented Jikamaru.
"Why thank you Oni. I've worked hard to achieve my level of chakra control and it will be my trump card in defeating you." Stated Arashi in a cocky tone.
"Is that so? Quite confident in your abilities aren't you? I'll have to teach you a lesson."Jikamaru began to charge his chakra. He started doing hand signs. "Fire style fireball Jutsu." A giant fireball flew at Arashi.
He waited until it got 7 feet away from him and he cut the fireball in half. Jikamaru was on him at once. He was right behind him and went to cut Arashi in two. Arashi turned around and pulled his sword out a little bit and stopped Jikamaru's blade.
"Your skill is good for your age." Stated Arashi in an impressed tone.
Arashi pushed Jikamaru back and pulled his katana Jinsoku out. "Show me what else mifune has taught you." Stated Arashi as Jinsoku began to radiate lightning.
Jikamaru pointed Yami at Arashi and it began to radiate lightning. "I'll fight fire with fire I suppose." Stated Jikamaru.
Jikamaru rushed Arashi and took an upwards swing. Arashi slowly turned to the side letting the blade go past him. Arashi then took a horizontal slash. Jikamaru's sharingan was blazing as he saw the attack coming a mile away and jumped in the air and started doing hand signs. "Fire style phoenix flower jutsu." Jikamaru spit five small fireballs at Arashi.
Arashi began to dodge the fireballs. As he dodged them they exploded clouding Arashi's vision. Jikamaru could see Arashi's chakra outline with the sharingan. He sheathed Yami and held his forearm. Arashi Started to hear a flock of chirping birds or at least he thought it was. He Channelled wind chakra into his blade and waited. Jikamaru was on one knee holding chidori. The smoke began to dissipate and as soon Jikamaru saw Arashi's silhouette he took off. Arashi could feel Jikamaru coming closer so he got low in a muso jikiden stance. Jikamaru ran past Arashi holding his chidori ahead and Arashi had his sword in the air. Arashi sheathed his blade. A cut ran up Jikamaru's body right where his shoulder was. Arashi stood for a few more seconds before a hole appeared where his heart was and he dropped. Jikamaru was honestly impressed by Arashi. He could feel his strength beginning to sap because of the cut.
He would have to take a break and rest before he fought again. "You have earned my respect Kumo no Samurai."
Hakuza was quite impressed with Arashi's skill. Yoru wasn't impressed because he was a swordsman and had seen that technique executed by Jikamaru earlier that day. Tsuki wasn't really interested in the fight because she was lost in her own world. Raijin was impressed that Jikamaru defeated Arashi. Sanda was saddened at the death of Arashi. It pained him to see someone as kind a selfless as Arashi be cut down.
Jikamaru ran his hand over his cut and realized if it was any deeper he would be dead. "Either he chose not to kill me or he wished for an honorable death." he realized. Jikamaru then walked over to a tree and sat and leaned against it. "Tsuki, Could you please come heal me?" asked Jikamaru as he pulled his robe off and tore his undershirt off.
Tsuki was excited at the thought of seeing Jikamaru shirtless. When she got over to him his robe was beside him and his undershirt was torn off. "I'm going to heal your wound with chakra and wrap a bandage around your body Jikamaru-kun." Explained Tsuki
Jikamaru caught on to the suffix, but dismissed it. "Thank you Tsuki, I need to be ready to fight my father even if I'm blind." Stated Jikamaru with conviction.
While Tsuki was healing Jikamaru, Yoru was standing in front of doshaburi. "Tell me anbu. You are by yourself and yet you want to fight? Pretty foolish to me." Stated Yoru in an indifferent tone as he retrieved Jinsoku from Arashi's body.
Doshaburi wasn't going back to Kumo and he knew it,but the question was why wasn't Raijin and Sanda doing anything, and then it clicked. "You and Sanda are traitors, but I understand why. Tell X that I am dead." stated Doshaburi as he began to walk in the direction of the Mist village.
Yoru had put Jinsoku on his hip and wasn't surprised at the anbu's choice.
Hakuza was very pleased with his team. "I am proud of you four, but the real battle begins the moment we enter Kumo." stated Hakuza.
Tsuki had finished wrapping the bandages around Jikamaru's body. Jikamaru then put his cloak on. "Then let's go. I can feel Hakai scratching at my conscious calling for X's blood." Stated Jikamaru in a stressed tone as he held his head in pain.
Raijin and Sanda stood beside Jikamaru as they began to walk towards The Kage tower. "It pleases me to stand by family before a battle. I hope we all make it out alive." Stated Jikamaru as team Hakai were almost at their destination.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. This chapter was something I had to sit on and ponder. Next chapter is X vs Jikamaru and in 2 or 3 chapters the end of the Destruction of Kumo arc. Till next time.
