Author Notes: Hello, Hi Akiko here. Umm sorry the next few chapters are just going to be fights. Any who, I would just like to inform my readers (if any) that Narichi's past is going to begin to unfold, and because it's long this could take awhile, and her weapons might seem really confusing but there not. Sorry if you don't like them. Oh, and I'm not sure but I think I'm suppose to say that I don't own any right's to the character's whom I use from Naruto. Of course If I owned Kakashi I'd be the happiest girl in the world!high pitch squeal
Narichi's Trade
The wind stirred up from the brewing of their battle. The three children were in their minds prepared for anything an old friend of Kakashi's might throw at them. Narichi stood there with total confidence, as the three were about to charge. Sasuke thought, "Good, this time no damn bells, and no rules."
Sakura was trying to analyze in her head all of the information they had previously obtained, from there first unknown encounter. Naruto of course with a gun ho attitude said, "Go!" Remembering the only chance that three novice had against fighting a Jounin were zip if they didn't work together, and then they charged forward.
Kakashi leaned back against a tree thinking, "Now this is going to be interesting." Naruto threw a kunai knife straight for Narichi. She was standing there like nothing was happening and looked quite bored. Then Sasuke and Sakura threw their kunai knifes before Naruto's hit Narichi. She looked over at the flying objects then began to fiddle with her hair, she had two chopstick and some kind of clip, and then right when their kunai's were about to hit her she and their knives disappeared.
The three were at one end of the clearing, surprised and suspicious to Narichi whereabouts they looked around quickly. She was nowhere to be seen. Sasuke thought, "Is she even faster than Kakashi-sensei?" Then a voice from behind them said, "I believe these are yours," Narichi then plopped them on their heads.
The three quickly turned around to attack, but she wasn't there. Surprised again to here a voice from behind them but this time it was also above them. "You kids make great toys! By the way, you'll get no where fighting me like that," mutter Narichi sitting in mid air.
The three were totally shocked and confused. "How is it possible foe anyone to sit in mid air?" questioned Sakura in her head. Naruto's brain couldn't handle much more of this when he tried asking, "Wha? Hey how the hell did you do that!" Narichi smiled. Sasuke said calmly, "It's just an illusion." He threw one dagger at her. Sakura said, "Well then where is the real one?"
A split second later Sasuke's knife flew towards the ground beneath his feet. "Who said I was an illusion?" said Narichi hanging upside down. The three children startled with confusion and shock. It appeared that her legs were wrapped around something, but what!
"Let me guess? You have no idea what's going on, do you?" she said smiling cheerfully. They nodded together like gullible morons with no minds or simple thoughts at all. "Well too bad. You'll just have to find out for yourselves!" she stuck out her tongue and pulled down her eyelid. "Ok," Sasuke leaped into the air towards Narichi, surprised by his action she sat up then dropped towards the ground pulling something with her.
Sakura and Naruto saw this as a chance to act, as they ran towards her. Seeing them approach, she wiped her hands by quickly and jumped back. Sasuke from above coming down to join them, saw for a split second what looked like a thin piece of string.
Narichi let go of the invisible object she held and through the trees came two small things that she caught. The children charged for her and with a quick wave of her hands the three children were sent flying towards the tree. "How is this possible again?" asked Sakura trying to stand. Sasuke thought, "How'd she do that just now?"
"Try and think for once kid!" yelled Narichi. Sakura got ticked then she was surprised to see something around both of Narichi's index fingers. Sakura muttered, "What are those?" Narichi smiled when Naruto and Sasuke got up. Sakura watched Narichi carefully.
Naruto looked at Sasuke who looked at Naruto. Nodding they leaped into the bushes. Sakura saw Narichi looked puzzled, then she looked over confident. Narichi walked over to Sakura and stopped about 10 ft from her. Sakura got up and thought, "What are Sasuke and Naruto planning?"
"I'm not that stupid guy's! If you thought I'd fall for a trap, then I'll just get your friend," she threw the clip from her right hand. Sasuke and Naruto jumped from the brush. "Crap! She found us out!" yelled Naruto jumping in front of Sakura.
Sasuke hit the clip away before in came close to them. "A clip?" he thought as he hit it. Narichi smiled and pulled her left hand back fast. The clip shot back from the trees where Sasuke had deflected it, and swung around Sasuke once then Narichi caught it.
"What the hell are you doing! What's the point in using something so useless?" he yelled. "Well this of course!" she said. A slight breeze blew by and around Sasuke wind spiraled around him forming a thin rope. "What!" he yelled in surprise. Narichi pulled her arms back bringing Sasuke to the ground. He struggled to escape but the rope never gave way.
Sakura and Naruto ran to help, and before they realized they couldn't do a thing Narichi threw Sasuke towards a tree. The rope disappeared from around him just before impact. Barely was Sasuke able to rebound off the tree. He ran for Narichi and with help from the others they tried to attack her.
Nothing hit her, she dodged every single attempt they made. They threw punches and kicks, but she was too fast. "When will you kids learn?" she said waving her hand and sending them flying. Sasuke stood up and said, "Just try that again."
Narichi look surprised, smiled and said, "Ok, you asked for it." She threw her clip, Sasuke ran towards it. Before she could pull it back he had snagged it with a kunai knife. "Huh!" Narichi said with surprised, "Well now don't you learn quick!"
She released the rope connecting the two clips. "Now would you explain what exactly these weapons are?" Sasuke asked. "Very well, since you've shown some intelligence I'll tell you," she said folding her arms. Naruto and Sakura stood up with interest.
"If you would give me that back I can demonstrate how this one works," she held out her hand. Sasuke toss it to her thinking,"This one?" then she caught it. She held the two pieces out and said, "Now these two clips have tiny strings tied to them, if I ever focus my chakra on the strings," there was an aura of chakra growing around the clips, "then a string of wind will connects them. This can grow and shrink at my will, and as you may have found out it's impossible to escape from something like wind. "
"How exactly can you do this? No ones ever done something like this before," said Sakura curiously. Narichi pulled her chopsticks from her hair and put the clips back in. "Well it's my family's trade. The Kazekami's have always been master weapon makers. And actually people have made these things before, they just tend to look like real weapons. You might recognize them as 'elemental weapons'. I can also make those." She smiled.
"Oh," said Sakura thinking, "it all makes sense now." Naruto looked like he was going to die of confusion. Sasuke was just curious as to why she hadn't put away the chopsticks.
"Well now that that's finished, we can carry on our little battle. I would really like to see how you three can match up against my other weapons," she smiled. Naruto totally understood that. Sasuke smiled said, "Just what I wanted to here."
Naruto ran forward and threw a punch. Narichi disappeared, and reappeared behind Sakura and Sasuke, "Well aren't you going to help that pathetic excuse for a shinobi. Sasuke and Sakura attempted o hit her and missed. Narichi dashed by a large tree. Sakura saw her slide her hand by it quickly.
She looked up at the tree and then looked at Naruto running right in front of it. "Naruto look out!" she screamed. "Huh," Naruto said stopping, then the tree fell and landed right next to where Naruto was. "Eh! Uh, Thanks Sakura," he said trying to slow his heart down.
"Be more careful next time!" Sakura said scolding him. Narichi ran to the end of the clearing, where the three children blocked her in. Smiling she threw the chop sticks into the thick forest. Naruto laughed, "What are you stupid, what good will that do you?"
"Plenty," she said more serious. The three were surprised when the chopstick came around behind them and Narichi caught them when she jumped past them. She stopped in the middle of the clearing turned around and a breeze of wind brushed past them, and Narichi smiled.
Kakashi was a little surprised when about 15 trees fell towards the children. Concerned he stood up and almost left when he heard Sakura, "Sasuke! Where are you!". Dust and debris was everywhere. The pile of trees was about 10 ft in front of where Narichi stood.
Naruto slowly walked through the dust and rubble of trees. Angry he then rushed for Narichi. She sighed and dodged his attacks, he brushed a punch by her she then quickly grabbed his arm and flipped him forward onto his back. "Did you know fighting me like that is hopeless?" she remarked disappointed.
Then she was surprised to here his say, "Yeah!" The real Naruto and two others jumped out from the debris grabbing her arms. Naruto ran up to her, but before he could hit her, she flipped the two Doppelgangers off her arms and kicked Naruto back into the clearing debris. Then his two doppelgangers disappeared into poof balls.
"Well guess you guy's are just full of surprises!" commented Narichi. "More than you know!" said the Naruto standing up after being pinned down. She was surprised when he went 'poof' and she saw he was Sasuke holding both of her chopsticks.
"Hmm, that was wonderful! I congratulate you on how you use of the art of miss direction. But I will be taking those back now," she smiled. In a split second she was gone and back again with her chopsticks in her hands.
Sasuke was surprised she was even faster than she led them to believe. Putting the chopsticks back in her hair she said, "Well, do I have to explain how these work, or have you figured that out yet?" "I think we got the idea," muttered Naruto standing up from the rubble.
Narichi glanced quickly to her left and jumped back from the 20 daggers, shuriken, and kunai that shot at her. Sliding she noticed something. Sakura jumped down from the trees, then pointing at Narichi she yelled, "Ha you fell into our trap!"
Narichi was standing there looking at the three baka Genin with her hands on her head. Sakura looked embarrassed and puzzled. "What! You should be in a hole, your standing right over it, and I know you don't weight an ounce!" she yelled looking for answers.
"Your right I don't weight an ounce. But I do know that concentrating my chakra at my feet keeps me from falling into your hole," she folded her arms and looked disappointed. Sakura was angry.
"You know?" started Narichi as the children looked up to listen, "You guy's are a disgrace. I was even this easy on you and this is all you guys show me. Should we bother to go on? You know what lets just end this here, I've grown quite bored of you three. There I said it your no longer fun toys." She turned around and put her arms on her head waiting for something.
The three were PISSED! They pretty much thought the same thing that sounds kind of like this, "How dare her! That witch is going to get it!" Seriously it was some thing like this.
Narichi smiled when she thought, "Yay, hurry let's fight already!" Sasuke began to form symbols with his hands. Narichi still had her back turned. "This is what you get, for putting me on the bottom level with Naruto," he thought (he couldn't say it would have ruined the surprise).
Sasuke then pulled off his Fire Style Fireball Technique. Narichi turned around and was a tiny bit surprised to see a fire ball the size of a 5 adult African Elephants blaze towards her. "Whoa!" she said pulling something from a pouch hidden under the slit on one side of her dress. "I really must have pissed him off," she thought.
Before it came any closer she pulled out a fan and waved it once in the fire ball's direction. Instantly a gust of wind formed from the fan and over powered the fire and then nothing was there.
The three were a little surprised for the wind kind of blew them off their feet and into some bushes. However Kakashi was still leaning against the tree and enjoying the fight and for some surprising reason didn't take out 'Icha Icha Paradise'.
"Ok! Now that's really all I wanted to do. I haven't had to use these things for awhile so I didn't want to get rusty or anything, know what I mean?" she said smiling and putting the fan away.
Their heads were still spinning but they slowly crawled out of the bushes and began to relax. Kakashi got up and walked over to them. "Hey, that was pretty good Narichi, looks like your even faster than me now," he said smiling.
"Yeah, save it Kakashi-kun. I know I'm weak so don't rub it in!" she yelled at him. The three looked up at them and mumbled, "Wasn't that a complement?" Narichi look like anger was growing inside her, "Not to me. He knows I'm not strong, if it wasn't for my speed I wouldn't have made it this far." She looked away, in regret.
Sakura stood up and said, "Well now that you've stopped insulting us allow me to introduce my self. I'm Haruno Sakura." Kakashi then said with gestures, "These two are Uchiha Sasuke; he always looks like some ones pissed him off, and this stupid midget looking one is Uzumaki Naruto." He smiled and both boys looked angry.
"Ok then now, I would like to thank you three for the ultra pathetic fight!" she smiled, then began to walk towards the village. "Why do I get the feeling she only plans to insult them," thought Kakashi.
Kakashi smiled, "Well then, if you want a real one, fight me?" Narichi stopped in her tracks. She knew they couldn't see her or anything she but she looked ashamed of something. She shook it off and slowly turned around and said, "Alright then, let's see what happens."
Then the wind blew and ended this chapter.
