Chapter 5: Duel under moonlight
[[Author's note: thanks to all the supporters of this fan-fic., I really appreciate it! Well, not much to say except I hope to finish this fic soon so that I may begin on my sequel. Yes, and I believe the sequel will be more promising than this one; it will offer plenty of action but mainly revolve around Kiba and a significant other. Of course, after I finish this fic. Enjoy!]]
A spotted brown owl perched itself on a branch under the glistening moon and let out a hoot. In its eyes it reflected the image that the owl was overseeing. The owl let out another hoot and flew off into the star speckled sky, leaving only its brown feather that trailed slowly down to the ground. The feather fell lightly, peacefully to the ground. A ringing sound clashing iron pierced through the night sky and the feather was picked up into the sky by another drift of wind, disappearing into the forests.
"Don't underestimate me, old geezer!" Sakon kept his footing atop the stream with his Water Walking Jutsu; bracing for the oncoming impact. Kabu, jumped into the night sky and unleashed a flutter of shurikens toward the two-headed Sound ninja. Sakon whipped out a kunai and dodged the shurikens and deflected the ones he couldn't. Water splashed all around Sakon as the shurikens punctured the water surface.
"Do I really look that old?" Kabu demanded amusingly while gracefully landing back onto the surface of the water.
"Heh, don't tell me that's all you have. If you don't come at me with your best you'll end up getting killed" Sakon averted his eyes away from Kabu and into the distance behind him, fixing his eyes on Kiba, "and not mention...your precious nephew."
"You won't lay a finger on him." Kabu took an offensive stance. Sak- kon, Kabu's dog, barked. "No, Sak-kon, you protect Kiba. I can handle this freak by myself."
"There you go underestimating me again...you really do tick me off, old piss." Sakon glared into Kabu's moonlit eyes; their concentration unyielding to the nature surrounding them. "Yah!" Sakon moved blisteringly across the stream with his kunai ready, Kabu pulled out his own shiny dagger and threw himself toward the oncoming shinobi.
Kiba's jaw dropped. He watched in amazement, never had he witnessed such finesse in the fighting art of the Kunai. Both of the skilled shinobi's kunai wielding hands beautifully danced across each other, deflecting metal off metal. Kabu's movement with the kunais in both hands blurred across the kunais of Sakon- who seemed to have trouble keeping up with Kabu's frightening alacrity. Nearly one after another, the sound of clashing metal echoed throughout the forest like music.
The two skilled shinobis locked up in the middle of the stream, the kunais pressed against one another. The shinobi's focused their strength and Chakra into their hands to prevent their opponent from overpowering himself.
"Humph, some how you managed to keep up with my skill." Kabu said while grinning, "but this is where I show the different levels we are on."
Kabu blasted Chakra to the soles of his feet and released it, he catapulted backwards into the sky. Sakon saw this as a chance to attack and pulled out his shurikens and let them loose, cutting into sky toward the elevated Kabu.
"Dog, Boar, Tiger, Rat, Ram!" Kabu followed up with a series of hand seals igniting Chakra throughout his body, and in an instant the jutsu was complete. "Inuzuka Style! Bad Dog Breath no Jutsu!" In the air Kabu hunched his back and forced his jaw open to its limit and the jutsu began. A deafening blast of dark greenish-brown fumes jetted out his mouth and the vapor quickly spread into the vicinity. The shurikens Sakon had thrown at Kabu faltered from the eruption of the jutsu and fell to the ground.
"What is this jutsu?!!" Sakon could do nothing except to shield his face from the oncoming wave of foul colored gas. The gas emitting from Kabu's mouth blasted past Sakon and enveloped into a large proximity around Sakon. Sakon's eyes began well up with tears. "ARGH!" The gas began to burn his eyes.
Sakon gasped for air. The pungent odor seeped into the deep chasms of Sakon's body as he began to involuntarily puke.
"Ha!" Kabu finished the jutsu and landed onto the rocky bank next to Kiba, who sat in utter amazement. Kiba had just witnessed one of the most debilitating jutsus in his lifetime. "Hah, although the Bad Dog Breath jutsu doesn't kill its opponents, it definitely gives them a punch in the gut. Not to mention its pepper-spray effects on the victim's eyes." Kabu explained.
Sakon lost wildly jerked around, straining to keep his footing atop the water. "ARGH! IT BURNS!" The pain multiplied as the stinging gas touched upon the eye that was already burned by Akamaru's urine. Sakon began to take hops backwards, desperately trying to escape to the cloud of noxious gas.
"Your not going any where, two-headed freak." Kabu said confidently. Upon saying that, Kabu's Kage-Bunshin exploded out from under the stream and grabbed onto Sakon. The clone of Kabu slid behind Sakon and held him in a position even the most toughest would have trouble getting out of. Sakon fell to his knees as Kabu's shadow clone tightly held Sakon down.
"Bastard..." Sakon was able to mutter between the string of caustic curse words.
"Uncle Kabu! This is...this is amazing!" Kabu began to get excited. "You were able to create a Kage-Bunshin clone of yourself during the whole fight, wow, I didn't even see you do it!"
"Of course you didn't see me, or I wouldn't be the most elite shinobi of the Inuzuka Clan. Don't you forget that." Kabu said smirking. Sakon flailed madly in the grips of the Kage-Bunshin.
"Damn you old canine bastard!" Sakon was bursting with fury.
"Hmph, talk all you want, I'm going to let you suffer in that gas all night."
"I beg to differ." A smile grew on Sakon's face. Kabu's face distorted with confusion, how was this two-headed shinobi smiling in the face of death? "You underestimate me, dog geezer." The gas cleared and dissipated into the night sky and it became clear why Sakon wasn't worried.
Ukon, Sakon's brother had merged into the body of the clone. The special jutsu Sakon/Ukon were known for: the ability to merge bodies with their victim. Ukon's head jutted out of the shoulder of Kabu's clone. "Heheh, surprised?"
Kabu eyes reflected the anger inside him. He had underestimated his opponent; Kabu had a life-long tendency to do that: underestimating his opponents.
"Sakon! You are a weakling. Do I always have to come out and save your neck." Ukon cursed.
"Shut up! I'm already wounded from the previous fight, just let my anger get ahead of myself. That's all." Sakon made an excuse. "Well, this fight has dragged on too long for my body to handle."
"I'm merging back, brother." Ukon immediately merged back into his brother, Sakon. The Kage-Bunshin exploded and vanished into a thin wisp.
"Until next time, canine freaks." Sakon wiped his eyes and vanished into the dark woods. The night wind brushed across the trees making the leaves dance.
"Let's go home before they change their mind." Kabu stooped down and place Kiba over his shoulders. Kabu began to curse at himself, 'Damn it! Underestimated my enemy again! I always do this!' He looked back at Sak- kon, his canine counterpart, who barked back in agreement to head back.
The clouds moved and the moon was hidden, the night became calm again.
Next chapter coming soon! I promise to release quicker once APs are done!
