"That puny dagger won't protect you much from my attacks…Kinjo." Sasuke said, smiling.
This boy seems confident in himself…Kinjo thought, gripping her dagger even tighter. The hair bristled on the back of her neck.
"Just go," she said. Upon hearing her say that, Sasuke narrowed his eyes. He slammed his hand into the ground, making it crack. Kinjo observed, puzzled. She didn't know what he was doing exactly. He looked up at her, his dark eyes determined. She felt fear go through her.
A blue light began to gather in the hand he had thrust into the ground. He was grabbing his arm with his free hand hard, and smiled broadly as he got up. As he started to charge Kinjo, he shouted "Chidori!"
Kinjo strove to keep her nerve; she had never seen a technique quite like this before. It was scary to see Sasuke charging her with the massive amount of chakra gathered in his hand, making a sound of chirping birds. It looked deadly, and she didn't want to the take the chances of getting hit with it. As Sasuke came toward her, she leaped upwards onto a nearby tree branch. He didn't see her move, and ran into the tree, searing a large hole into the trunk. He grunted in disappointment, but his blow made the tree's trunk very weak, and Kinjo's weight caused it to start to fall.
I better break out my moves on him, now or I'll surely die, she thought hastily as she came down with the tree. She concentrated chakra into her dagger and leaped down to the ground, landing on the ground behind Sasuke, who had moved out of the way to avoid the fall of the tree.
"Hah!" Kinjo yelled as she swung at him with her dagger with extreme speed. Sasuke barely avoided her attack, while swinging forwards to face her again. She was persistent and kept on the offensive with her attacks, swiping continuously. Sasuke kept blocking her attacks, but was getting tired. This continued for about a minute, until Kinjo jumped into the air and flipped, landing in back of him again. She tried to trip him, but he jumped. Sasuke was out of her way for a short time, so they both rested, thinking of what to do next. Kinjo was panting, keeping a keen eye on Sasuke.
Sasuke wiped the sweat off of his forehead. So, she's using taijutsu? he thought. He turned to face her and looked her straight in her eyes.
"Sharingan!" he shouted. Simultaneously, his eyes transformed from their usual dark color to a bright red, with a strange pattern encircling his pupils. This was familiar to Kinjo, and it obviously did not please her, because a look of distaste crossed her face.
If he's going to use his Sharingan, then my taijutsu will fail miserably. The only thing I can think to do is… her thoughts trailed off, and Kinjo realized she had only one choice.
Quickly, with a look of intense concentration on her face, Kinjo held her dagger in front of her, with her arms extended. She then made the hand seal of the dog with her dagger in the middle of it. A wave of chakra consumed her body, and it steadily turned black as she closed her eyes and muttered words under her breath that no one could make out. The chakra turned so black that Kinjo was not visible anymore, and all that could be seen was a dark cloud of waving energy. Sasuke was thoroughly confused as he observed what was happening.
Then, the chakra cloud began to take a form. The form was hard to determine at first, but then it was obvious it was in the shape of a dog-like creature. Sasuke stared at it contently with his Sharingan, hoping to be able to understand it.
When the chakra cleared enough to see Kinjo again, everyone watching was surprised to see that Kinjo wasn't there anymore. It was a black dog with pointy ears, and jet black fur. Its eyes were that of Kinjo's, bright blue. However, there was a red stripe that ran from its forehead to the tip of its tail. Sasuke gaped at it with astonishment.
Kakashi watched intently and looked deep in thought. Naruto was making loud sounds of exasperation from beside Sakura, who looked extremely surprised and worried. Sasuke did not know exactly what this jutsu was, if it was a jutsu at all.
Before he had time to make up his mind on how to go about fighting again, the dog bared its teeth and its claws dug into the ground as it growled fearfully. It began to charge at Sasuke, who had already done Chidori again. The chakra in his hand glowed brightly, but the dog did not stop running toward him. Sasuke acted quickly, and decided to run toward the dog as well, making for a head-on collision. The dog did not stop still. Instead, more black chakra appeared around it.
The two finally collided, the chakra exploding and creating a giant puff of smoke. The air was still, and Naruto gasped loudly. Sakura screamed Sasuke's name, while tearing slightly.
When the dust cleared, Sasuke and the dog were both laying on the ground. The dog's chakra had withstood Sasuke's Chidori, but did not overcome it. Sasuke lifted his head off of the ground and moaned. The dog got on its feet and shook itself. It then turned and faced Sasuke, growling ferociously. Sasuke got up, as well, with great difficulty. He was in pain from the blow. The dog then suddenly roared and lept at Sasuke, who barely had time to react. He tried to block the dog with his forearm, which was in the dog's mouth in an instant. Sasuke winced from the force of the attack, but was not in pain. The dog's bite didn't hurt at all, it actually felt fine. Whatever type of attack this dog could produce, it wasn't too far from that of a normal pup. Sasuke grinned and tugged his arm from the dog's jaws. There was a bite mark on his flesh, but nothing more. Sasuke decided he could win against this dog using taijutsu, so he pulled out a kunai. The dog stood its ground, growling continuously.
"I'll take you out, Fido," Sasuke said with a smile. He threw the kunai, but something went wrong. It went only about a foot in front of him, and plummeted uselessly to the ground.
"What?" Sasuke said. He looked at his arm that threw the kunai with question. It didn't throw the kunai…how could that be? he thought. His arm didn't feel any different, it felt perfectly capable of throwing a kunai.
A sinister chuckle sounded; it was coming from the dog. It's voice was deep and guttural.
"Try to throw that rock near your left foot, Uchiha boy," it replied with a smirk. Its white teeth gleamed in the sun.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the dog, but did as it said. He reached down with his right hand and attempted to pick up the rock, but as he clenched his fingers around it and began to lift it upwards, it fell from his grasp. He tried again, only to receive the same result.
"What is this?" he asked quietly. He stood up again, digging his feet into the ground. The dog was still smirking.
"My bite was not harmless. My teeth secrete a poison that seeped into your pours when they pierced your flesh. The venom eliminates pain to the body, yet it also drains chakra. It spreads fairly slow, but when it gets out of the point of origin, it will drain most of the chakra in your body," the dog explained.
Sasuke clenched his teeth as he clutched his arm with his hand that was still normal. How could he have let this happen?
"So, I'm going to die, then?" he asked angrily. In response, the dog laughed eerily.
"No, Uchiha boy," it said in response. "From the bite I gave you, it will wear off before it consumes all your chakra. However, if the bite had been deep enough, and in a certain amount of places on your body, you would indeed die before it wore off."
Sasuke let his arm go limp at his side and fell to his knees.
"I forfeit." He said unwillingly. His eyes turned back to their original state, and his hands clenched into fists.
The dog's smirk left its face and bowed its head low.
"That was a gifted battle, friend," it said before being engulfed in a cloud of the black chakra again. When it cleared, Kinjo stood in the dog's place, looking rather exhausted. She put her dagger back in her belt and approached Sasuke, offering him her hand to help him up. He slapped it away. Bewildered, Kinjo backed away from him. A look of disappointment crossed her face. She bowed low, again to Sasuke and looked at him. He neither acknowledged it nor said anything in response.
