Chapter 2, The Sound of the Rain
As day turned to night the two genin soared through the branches with great agility. The forest was pitch black with only the moon to light their way. Dosu carried Zaku under his arm, as Kin scouted ahead.
Dosu- Concerned. Kin, keep a sharp eye out for the other teams. There will most likely be a handful of them waiting for weak ninja to gather the scrolls for them.
Kin- Confidently. Don't worry about that, just keep a close watch on Zaku.
Dosu- To Zaku. Hang in there, we're almost to the tower, we'll find you a medic there.
Just then, Dosu felt a vibration ringing through the trees, footsteps!
Dosu- Stopping. Kin, wait!
Kin- Puzzled. Huh, what is it?
Dosu- We're being followed.
Zaku- Groaning. Gah, where are we?
Kin- Overjoyed. Zaku!
Dosu- Snapping. Kin, keep quiet!
Just than a kunai darted out of the shadows and towards Kin.
Dosu- Shouting. Look out!
Kin than noticed the knife and spun to her left, just missing the knife as it plunged into the trunk of a tree.
Kin- Shouting. Ah, show yourselves cowards!
Just than three shadowy figures appeared on a large branch in front of them out of a thick cloud of white smoke.
Kin- Shocked. Another team of ninjas? And we're out numbered!
Dosu- Firmly. Step forward.
The ninjas approached slowly, there were two boys and a girl. The boy in the middle was tall and slender who wore all black with a white circular design on his shirt circulating from his right shoulder to his left than trickling down his left sleeve. He had one eye revealed as his long silky black hair was parted to his left covering his left eye and half of his headband. The girl was of average height and seemed to be of average weight, she had a voluptuous body, she wore an all black skin tight shirt and pants with red stripes running down her arms and legs. She wore red fingerless gloves and a large red cummerbund with the ends hanging off of her waist and dangling down to her ankles. She had her pitch black hair pulled to the top of her head in a pony tail that flared out like a raging inferno, and a small patch of her hair parted to her left covering her left eye she also wore her headband around her neck. The other was a bleach blonde short haired boy with squinted eyes. He wore a fishnet shirt with a long sleeve on the right going all the way to his wrist and a shorter sleeve on his left cutting off just before his biceps. His pants were black and, he wore his headband around his left arm just where his shirt met his bicep. Dosu and Kin promptly noticed their headbands and recognized the symbol of the Rain Village.
Dosu- Shocked. Who are you?
Tall ninja- I am Ushio Moshima of the Rain Village, and these are my companions, pointing to the girl, Kiku Yakamono, now pointing to the boy in the fishnet shirt, and Sang Fujushima.
Kiku- Annoyed. Don't waste you're breath on these foolsUshio; they won't be around long enough to remember your words.
Zaku- Arrogantly. Hah, that's pretty tough talk from a Rain Village ninja!
Dosu- To Zaku. Do have a death wish Zaku? Maybe have you forgotten your condition?
Sang- Chuckling. Keep your obnoxious little dog on a tighter leash!
Zaku- Furious. You insect! Why don't you come down here and-!
Kin- Concerned. Zaku, please! You can't make use of your arms, just stay back where it's safe.
Ushio- Moving his hair. Enough talk. Signaling to his teammates, Let's eliminate some of the competition shall we?
Ushio leaps into the air, while Kiku and Sang dash through the branches.
Dosu- Commandingly while leaping into the air. Kin, I'm going after that Ushio character, you take the other two.
Kin- Turns to her opponents. Gotcha!
Kin dashed towards Kiku and Sang head on, while the two ninjas flashed a series of hand signals.
Sang- Shouting. Ice style jutsu! Icicle blades!
With his arms fully extended behind him, a layer of ice formed on top of his forearms creating a sharp piercing sword.
Kiku- Making a combination of hand signals, than shouting. Water style jutsu! Water whip!
Kiku clenched her right fist tightly than released her grip than water began to form in the palm of her hand, it soon expanded into a string like liquid that stayed together in the palm of her hand and trailed behind her as she dashed towards her victim. As Kiku raised her right arm she quickly brought it down lashing her whip towards Kin.
Zaku- Shouting. Kin, look out!
Kin easily evaded the initial attack but Kiku was planning something more. As the whip hit the ground sprung back around Kin's legs and coiled up her entire body as the whip tightly constricted. Kin's mind raced and she finally came to a solution to escape. She flashed her hand signs rapidly at her waist before concocting six clones! Three of them easily broke free from the flimsy whip and split off to attack Sang while the other three attacked Kiku!
Dosu and Ushio drew nearer and nearer Dosu rolled up his sleeve ready to attack, while Ushio flashes his hand signs than crosses his arms symmetrically with all fingers extended.
Ushio- Shouting. Water style jutsu! Water ball bombardment!
Small balls of water formed above each of Ushio's fingers as he than threw his arms forward throwing the water balls directly at Dosu as he glided through the air.
Dosu- Thinking to himself. Nowhere to move, even if this jutsu can hurt me there is no way to avoid it.
Than as the balls of water hit Dosu's chest he felt a sharp pain in his pectoral's.
Dosu- Astonished. What?!
Dosu looked down to investigate the sharp pain in his torso. When he looked down he saw ten little icicles in his chest.
Dosu- Amazed. Ice inside the water?!
Not paying attention to the now approaching Ushio, Dosu looked up only to receive a right hook to the face sending him plummeting to the ground.
Kin's clones that split off to stop Sang were quickly dispatched as they burst into smoke by his icicle blades. Than he charged at full speed strait past Kin. She than turned only to figure out that Sang had set his sights on Zaku!
Kin- Shouting. Zaku, get out of here!
Zaku- With confidence. Ha, please do you really think you can outclass me? I can beat a worthless ninja like you without even using my arms.
Sang now charging at full speed approached Zaku and swung his right arm at him with his full strength just barley missing as Zaku ducked underneath the blade. Zaku, now approached with the opportunity to strike, twirled around to his left and fully extended his left leg striking Sang with full force lifting him from his feet and landing him onto his back! Zaku had been presented with the perfect opportunity to strike, he spun around quickly lifting his right leg and smashing his heel straight into Sang's gut.
Zaku- Tauntingly. What's wrong, did I overdo it?
Sang- Now catching his breath, standing up and furious. That's it! No more games, you die now!
Zaku- Arrogantly. And you're gonna do that? You had a wide open chance to kill me and ended up on your backside!
Sang tried to charge Zaku yet again, he threw a punch from his right hand and only to have Zaku move the opposite way and deliver a roundhouse kick to his neck! This still wasn't enough to keep Sang down; he got up and promptly charged him again. Now Zaku was just irritated, he charged Sang and leaped towards him before landing three rotation kicks to Sang's chest sending him flying as he smashed his head against a tree branch and fell from the trees onto the forest floor.
Meanwhile, Kin fought with her three remaining clones, however Kiku quickly dispensed of the doppelgangers by recreating the water whip and twirling it rapidly around her body slamming into the three clones as they burst into white smoke. With one remaining opponent, Kiku withdrew her kunai; Kin smirked just before performing a back flip, and kicked the kunai out of Kiku's hands, followed up by a handspring onto her shoulders. Kin than tightened her legs and flipped Kiku backwards, slamming her onto the ground.
Just then Ushio landed on a branch up in the trees, he quickly descended among the leaves and landed on the floor, he was now racing towards Dosu who had just crashed into the bushes below the trees. Sang, who was just regaining consciousness, conjured his icicle blades once again, and charged Dosu from behind. Ushio threw three knives at Dosu, with no choice left, Dosu pulled back his sleeve revealing the arm and charged Ushio head on. While charging he deflected the kunai and sent a pulse of sound backwards sending Sang crashing to the floor.
Ushio- Confused. Ah, what!? Sang get up!
It was no good Sang was out and now Dosu had set his sights on Ushio. As he grew ever closer, Ushio flashed more of his infuriating hand signs.
Ushio- Shouting. Ice style jutsu! Tundra pike!
Ushio now created a large spear made of ice, dawning his new weapon he thrusted the spear into Dosu's chest!
Ushio- Smirking. Gotcha'!
Just than, with a flash of smoke Dosu vanished within a large thick cloud, and on the edge of Ushio's spear was a log. Astonished by his substitution jutsu Ushio thrashed his head about searching for his opponent.
Ushio- Confused. A log? How cliché. Searching the trees and spinning rapidly. Where are you!?
Dosu- Smugly. Up here!
Ushio had just realized what had happened, he looked up only to see Dosu upside down holding onto a tree branch with both arms as he pushed off, rocketing down towards him. Dosu had planned on breaking the spear with his amplifier, but Ushio pulled his pike back preparing for the final blow. Than the blink of an eye, the spear split in half leaving Ushio with just a handle. Kin stood behind him with her kunai drawn and a cocky look upon her face. Ushio looked up in dismay now realizing what was going on. Dosu streamlined down towards Ushio and delivered a right hook to his chin propelling him up into the air he soared for a short distance until he crashed onto the ground sending him sliding across the clearing, as he was laid out on a patch of dirt. Ushio got up quickly and decided to retreat.
Ushio- Shouting. Kiku, grab Sang we're getting out of here!
Kiku carried Sang over her shoulder and promptly ascended into the trees.
Ushio- Smugly. Looks like we'll be seeing you in the next round-.
Dosu- Ushio, wait!
Ushio- Looking back. What is it?
Dosu- I wish to fight you again, a rematch after the next round. You and I will have a one on one!
Ushio- Smirking. Agreed, but remember bandaged one, you will not be so lucky. Than he ascends into the trees.
Zaku- Do you really think you can beat him Dosu?
Dosu- I will require some training, I admit I am not as strong as he is now I just hope I get a chance to develop some new jutsu's by the end of the exam.
Kin- Impressed. Wow Zaku! I guess you're not so useless after all!
Zaku- Blushing. Yeah well, I guess it just takes a top notch ninja in order to beat an opponent with out his hands huh-Hey, wait! What's that supposed to mean?!
Dosu- You two can catch up later; right now Lord Orochimaru is waiting for us in the tower. Ascends into the trees.
Kin- C'mon Zaku! Follows Dosu.
Zaku- Hey, wait up! Leaps after them.
Dosu- Thinking to himself. Ushio, yes he will be perfect practice before we kill the Uchiha boy. But the next time we fight, I will not forget to show him the new jutsu I taught myself. What a shame, had I used it here we probably wouldn't even be having a rematch.
To be continued…
