Issue 2: The Inferno Cave
Author's note: Hi again people. I need to clear up one big thing about my stories. Remember "The boy" from my last issue? Well it's going to take me a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, gasp, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, cough wheeze gasp, long, long, long, long, lllllllllllllooooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggggg, long, long, and did I mention long?, time to give him a new name, just kidding. You will eventually see that I am horrible at giving characters names. Anyway here is issue 2: The Inferno Cave bum, bum, baaah (dramatic music).
Then it happened. The flames surrounding the boy burst so high the village hidden in the sand could probably see it! The genin where thrown back against some rocks, and the surrounding trees instantly caught fire! The flames where taking form of a dragon, with crimson eyes. Then as rapidly as it started, it was gone with only three witnesses (excluding the boy) and a scorch mark to prove it really happened. The three genin scampered away like frightened puppies leaving the boy all alone. Since he had nothing to do now why not just go into the cave he saw, something inside him was already nudging him to go ahead and enter the small cave.
He did, it was one colossal and continuous pitch-black tunnel that curved deeper and deeper underground. The tunnel suddenly jolted down and threw the boy head first into a small room with stone walls. His black spiked hair hit the hard stone floor first, after a little yelp of pain he pulled himself up straight. The cave appeared to be empty, but the boy still felt like he was being watched.
"What are you doing in my house you little twerp!" It was an adult around 23 who had brown hair, and he came from behind a stalagmite, "I don't think I invited anyone to dinner, plus how did you find the entrance of the inferno cave?"
"Huh?" questioned the boy.
"Oh so you do speak, now answer my question."
"The entrance to this cave was as clear as day but if you want me to I'll leave."
This made the man do the most peculiar thing, laugh. For no reason the man spontaneously bust into laughter, but this didn't affect the boy. He had lost all of his emotions when he was left in the orphanage.
"Leave? If you saw the entrance that means you're of the inferno clan, this clan," stated the man. With a harder look the boy could see more movement in a room ahead. "How many are in the clan?" questioned the boy.
"Only three, four including you." sighed the strange man. "We're close to being an extinct clan but where doing all we can to prevent it."
"So who are the other three besides me?"
"Well there is Inarro, both of his arms are broken, but he uses his astral arm jutsu which makes up for his paralyzed arms. There is also Lino; he specializes in the chameleon jutsu. And just call me sensei, because that is what I'm going to be to you. So what's your name?"
"I don't know truthfully I escaped from the orphanage tonight."
"Well then why don't we call you Kuruni, and by the way to discover your true inferno clan jutsu you're going to face a couple of trials."
