Chapter 7: Kurai's Trouble Dragon Blade Release
Neji watched over Yuki Ren laying in the hospital bed. Yuki Ren had severely torn a few muscles in his body and had to build his resistance and such. Neji observed Rock Lee walk in. "How is he doing?" "He is ok...but i am severely still upset with you." "I know Neji i am sorry...i only told him to only go as high at Three...I didn't know he would push him self like that." "Well now he will be training in excess with you...i mean it you better build him back up and make him a master of the strong fist like you are." Neji smiled and looked to Lee. Lee smiled back and sighed nodding. "Understood you go to the Hokage he wants to see you." Neji nods and vanished as Rock Lee watched over Yuki Ren.
Over at the Hokage Tower Naruto watched out the village as Neji and Kakashi appeared both of them standing there. Shikamaru stood there by the desk. "Hokage there here." "Thanks Shikamaru..." Naruto turned and looked to them. "Guys we have our next target...from Anbu Reports...we go after Orochimaru next. "What?" said Neji. "Is he really alive?" "That is what the Black ops said." Naruto said to Kakashi's statement. They looked to one another. Shikamru looked up to them. "The Info is solid, But i should Let you know...this mission is being carried out in one week...I suggest train and build back up." Shikamaru said. Neji looked. "Yuki Ren may not be able to go on that Mission.." "Why not? " Asked Naruto. "His Injuries are bad and Lee is going to be trainning him after what happen its in the Report i gave you." "Oh yeah Report..." "If you didn't read it Hokage thats fine you been busy but read it.." Naruto nods and sighed as he looked out the window.
Kakashi looked. "Excuse me Lord Hokage but What about Shuji Namizaki. " "Who?" Asked Neji "A Young Student of Kakashi's he goes on missions with Kakashi's Team He should be a Great team Sub for now." Said Naruto. Neji looked to Naruto and saw his eyes. "I will have him train with us this week then Lord Hokage." Naruto nods. "Dismiss then get going." They vanished as Naruto sighed and looked . "This is not going be easy believe you me."
Sakunami and Kurai had been worried for Yuki Ren but knew there was not much they can do. "Maybe some flowers?" "You said that already Idiot." "Hey Come on Kurai..." "Sorry but he is a idiot and almost killed him self." "That is what Ninjas do Kurai we fight for one another. " "She is right." They both gasped looking up to Neji and a young man with black shorts and shirt with a odd green symbol on it. His sandles on his feet with a Orange set of gloves on. both observed the young man. "Hey whats your name. " Said Sakunami. "Name is Shuji Namizaki " The young man said. "Shuji is taking Yuki's place till he comes back." "What!?" said Sakunami "Sorry to tell you but that is just how it is. For now." "What can you do. " Welll...not to show off but i specialize in Fire and Lightning Jutsu...I also know the Rasengan..." "HOW!" questions Kurai sceptical. "The Hokage taught me...mainly because I was told i had a unique gift for Chakra Control. "
Neji looked. "Lets get going we need to begin to train together. But first..." Kurai looked to Neji. "We have a problem i can't use Jutsu." Neji looked to her. "What do you mean." "I don't know whats going on but...all my Jutsu there back fireing. " " Show me..." Neji said as Kurai aimed up "DRAGON BLADEJUTSU: FIRE BOW SWORD LAUNCH!" It fired off covering in flames as it suddenly returned neji did a rotation and blocked it then he caught the blade.. " I see...i think its time you seriously go to your meditiaions and figure this out i am taking you out. " "But Neji sensei!" "Until you do as i say and check your self at the Shrine and meditiate hard...and control your jutsu i can not let you hurt your self or others on a mission." Kurai was furious and stomped off he was right there was nothing else for her to do but just that.
Kurai went to her home and locked her self in and darkened the room. she lit candles and insence around her dads Shrine and began to pray and Meditiate. This really wasn't her style but she needed to do this.
Mean while Lord Orochimaru sat in his Layer and KUKO appeared at the entrance and he smiled. "well well well Lord Sakumos' chibi battle twins...what do i derive the pleasure from your intrusion? " "Lord Sakumo demands you hand over the two Gems." "Return to lord Sakumo with this!" Orochimaru began to open his mouth as the Grasscutter was removed holding it now he looked to them. "He can shove it these are mine." KUKO began to run towards Orochimaru and orochimaru began to run towards them both. Oh They were good but Orochimaru was always one step a head. They couldn't keep up. no Jutsu were used but pure hand to hand. Yes They were holding back but they were not letting that on at all. Soon KUKO backed up from him. "You win for Now Orochimaru!" "But next time we will have the last laugh." They vanished as Orochimaru looked to the entrance. "I assume others may be watching and after the Gems...I better bring in my 4 Elites." Orochimaru sent four Carrier pigeons out
Kurai had been in Deep Meditiation for a few hours. in her mind she saw a battlefield bunch of her family dead and it was terrorfying to her she moved slowly barely able to contain her self. Seh was slightly crying. "I must be brave i need the answer."
Then suddenly a slow rising mist was covering the battlefield. The fear in Kurai grew and it showed on her face. She breathed a deep,deep breath and thought about this. "You are a Ryuu dam it you can do this. You were born with this curse and you need to master it." Suddenly then a voice from the mist spoke. "HA! HA! HA! HA! Your the Dragon Blades Holder now. No wonder it will not work. " Kurai looked up to spot a Kunoichi with a Mask of a Anbu but this mask was actually a Ryuu Ritual Mask. This Mask once Kurai would see it clearly was used in the Offical Passing of the Dragon blade. While it was true if you were trained in the Dragon blade arts you could potentially use it, up till the day before she could use it fine. There is a tradition that for one to take full control of the Dragon Blade one must go forth a ritual. Kurai looked to the mist. "Who are you? What are you doing in my Meditiation?" "You are no longer meditating you are Asleep and placed in My Jutsu..." "Jutsu? There are Ninjas that do this in Dreams? " "Sort of...look at me!" The Kunoichi barked loud and Kurai stepped back. Her out fit was extremely old but battle worn. Then Kurai looked carefully as she stood there and noticed two things. one her outfit had a Gauntlet with slots in it...just like the Dragon blade. Then there was her crest it was the Dragon blades hilt she new deep down what she was but...how.
Kakashi watched over Yuki Ren for not since he had nothing to do and Neji was preparing his team til he felt a presence at the door. "Come in Shuji" Shuji walked in slowly. "Hey Kakashi Sensei...whats up..." "You doing ok?" "To a Degree not to bad actually." "Then why are you here you should be perfecting your Jutsu's for the Upcoming Mission." There is not much Shuji could say except. "What about My...You know.." "I am sure you will be fine..just be Creative." Shuji smiled and nods then left the room as Kakashi looked to the window. "I hope that Thunder Spirit holds up ."
Kurai kept looking at the Kunoichi and the Kunoichi smiled behind the mask. "Well Kurai?" "The Immense power from you...are you the dragon blade? " The Kunoichi clapped lightly and taunted her. "Bravo little one and i see you have not earned the right to weild me...your to fearful and scared to weild me...you don't even have a Big faith in your ninja skills hence your Mean nature towards your team mates. They help you and you turn them away." "Yet they still run back to me." Kurai said challanging her but the Dragon blade shook her head. "Because they must work with you...but do you know anything abou them." Kurai gasped. It was true she didn't know anything about the people around her just little things like there fighting style. "Just there fighting styles." "You are such a sad case for a Ryuu thats why your Uncle couldn't weild me either...you need to understand and be a ninja. When you can defeat me i will give you full ownership of my powers...now face me." Kurai gulped and breathed in deeply looking to her. Kurai went full frontal and attacked her. The Dragon blade seem to be fast and powerful as she chuckled each of Kurai's moves looked slow and uninspired. "Fight me dam it!" The Dragon blade ordered as Kurai looked frustrated. "I am trying." "Do or do not there is no try." Kurai stopped and backed up and sized her up. "until you land a hit i will not fight back." "Is that so?" "Yes and you will learn how to beat me in time...you need to win against me to earn my power...Now...bring it young Kunoichi."
Kurai meditated till morning and the fight continued. The next morning came and Neji gathered Shuji and Sakunami as they both faced eachother and Neji looked. "Some light sparring no Jutsu..." both Ninja bowed and jumped back as they began there sparmatch. Shuji was impressed with Sakunami's CQC. "If you kept your eyes where you swing you would connect better." He advised and soon was caught slightly off guard as Sakunami smiled. "Like that?" Her foot leaving his side and Shuji smiled.
Neji looked on and watched them both. Neji then looked to the Direction of the Village from the trainning grounds towards Sakunami's house. In the Meditation Sakunami had been knelt down and tired as she began entirely focusing turning the frustration to anger and the anger to determination and the determination to Adrenalin and focus. She charged fast towards the Dragon Blade noticing the Dragon blade barely moved as she hit it and sent the Kunoichi back as she rebounded and smiled.-"Good you went much faster i couldn't block it...next phase."-She took the mask and the heavy cloak off as her face was a much younger Version of her Great, Great, Great, Great Grandmother. "Fight me child."
[Welcome to the end of eras Ice has melted back to life Done my time and served my sentence Dress me up and watch me die.]
Kurai began to fight her blows more focused as she spoke and swings at the Dragon Blade. "I am a Ryuu i can fight i am the carrier of the Dragon blade." Kurai knocked her back as she rebounded again as the Dragon Blade soon powered up again she could feel she was reaching deeper in to the Dragons blade power. Now The Dragon blade has Wind Chakra.
[If it feels good, tastes good It must be mine Dynasty decapitated You just might see a ghost tonight
And if you don't know now you know ]
Now Kurai knew she was doing better confidence building in her that she could do this as the fight continued with the Dragon blade going a bit harder and Yet Kurai seem to be able to still out manuver her for now.
[I'm taking back the crown I'm all dressed up and naked I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers) ]
Kurai was able to even over power her in a fist clash sending her flying once more now rebounding with Water Chakra she dashed fiercly to hit Kurai and Succeeded now she needed to step up further.
[Oh yeah The crown.. So close I can taste it I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers) Oh yeah]
Kurai smiled leaning a lot from this fight As she fought back determined to show the Dragon Blade she was the right ful owner. "You have gotten stronger...but so have I!" her chakra flared and she charged back.
[Sycophants on velvet sofas Lavish mansions, vintage wine I am so much more than Royal Snatch your chain and mace your eyes ]
Kurai smiled and finally knocked her down with a few hits to her chest followed by a Round house kick. The Draon blade smiled and looked to her eyes. Her chakra flared with Lightning Chakra. "Then show me you are stronger." She charged back matching Kurai blwo for blow. Kurai was Exsausted and new she may not last long but smiled as she felt her team behind. her.
[If it feels good, tastes good It must be mine Heroes always get remembered But you know legends never die And if you don't know now you know]
Kurai countered sending her flying back the Dragon blade Rebounds with Earth Chakra as she charged back. "With the Dragon blade that i hold i ever grow very bold. I will fight no matter what and with my life i do love." Kurai knocked her back.
[I'm taking back the crown I'm all dressed up and naked I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah]
The Dragon blade rebounded with Fire Chakra smiling and charged her once more. Kurai kept fighting with all her power. "I will use my body, My mind and my Soul to become a splended Kunoichi...I am KURAI RYUU!" she pushed her back and the Dragon blade smiled as all 5 chakras Surrounded her.
[The crown...So close I can taste it I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers) Oh yeah]
Kurai was ready as she closed in but over powered her this time Kurai was being beaten bad her body now being thrashed with multiple combos from the Dragon blade soon her body kicked far from the Dragon blade as Kurai hit the ground.
[Mortal kings are ruling castles Welcome to my world of fun Liars settle into sockets Flip the switch and watch them run]
Kurai slowly got up. "Yuki ren...Sakunami...Give me strenght..." Kurai was shaky as Sakunami and Yuki Ren smiled to her appearing before her. "You can do this." Said Yuki "We belive in you." Kurai lightly shed a few tears as she focused soon releasing all her chakra feeling the burn.
[Oh yeah (Finders keepers, losers weepers) I'm taking back back, taking back back the crown I'm all dressed up and naked
I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers)]
Kurai Charged and began thrashing the Dragon blade back her fists and legs began hitting back and smacking around the Dragon blade with all she had.
[Oh yeah The crown...So close I can taste it I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers) Oh yeah]
Kurai ended the fight by planting her in the ground hard with a Inazumi Drop from the sky. It was a hard fight and Kurai collapsed back by the Draon blade. "Congradulations...i knew you could do it...i am with you...and so is my power...when you wake...you will have my mask and you will be able to wield me with no problems." Kurai smiled as she soon woke up it was mid afternoon and she blinked feeling hungry and weak as she slowly stood up and grabbed her purse. Kurai walked to Ichiraku Ramen. and noticed Neji,. Shuji and Sakunami she smiled and quickly ran towards them and hugged Sakunami from behind and she blinked. "Hey Kurai your awake." Sakunami held her arms in a hug. "Thank you for helping me be a splended ninja Sakunami." Kurai hugged Neji sensei and smiled. "Thank you as well Sensei." Neji pet her head. "Its ok come eat." "Yes i will do that i have not eaten since you told me to meditiate." Kurai ordered 4 bowls of house special ramen and Sakunami blinked. "Holy Moly." Kurai looked back and began telling them the Full story as she ate once they were served. She was starving and her body knew it. she had her fill once they were finished and paid for them. "I need to see Yuki...excuse me i will meet you on the traning grounds in a bit." Kurai ran for the Hospital.
In the Hospital Sakura was tending to Yuki as he was awake. "Lady Sakura i know this is a bit inappropriate but your very pretty." "Oh thank you that isn't inappropriate." "Well your married i don't think its appropriate." Sakura chuckled as she turned hearing the door open and Yuki blinked. "Kurai?" He said and smiled as Sakura blinked. " I am done here come in Kurai." Sakura left as Kurai entered and sat by Yuki Ren's bed. "How you feeling." she could tell he was in pain and He could tell she was not the same Kurai. "I am doing well enough and you?" "I...wanted to let you know i was a bitch...but...i was not confident in my self...i took it out on you a lot Yuki...thank you for risking your self and helping me be better." "Your welcome...i didn't mind it...I knew you wanted me to get better." "No i was honestly just being mean...and you didn't deserve that." She got up. "I need to train i will talk to you later." Kurai hugged him lightly and ran off .
Naruto watched the hours tick by as he was planning for the next few moves with Shikamaru. "Just to let you know...things will be ok." Shikamaru said softly. "I know..." Said Naruto. "Still..."
