Issue 3: The Three Trials
Author's note:Yeah, yeah I know that the last issue I wrote was kind of stupid but don't worry; I just had one of those issues to fill up space during brain cramps. And plus I made a mistake in the boy's name, instead of Kuruni it's Kurigane. Got it? By the way the boy that these issues are about IS NOT SASUKE UCHIHA, I SAID INFERNO CLAN NOT UCHIHA!!!!! Anyway… so umm… (Awkward moment) On with issue three.
Crimson blood scared the memories of the ninja of the village hidden in the leaves. For four years the village had been in a civil war, in other words a free for all between the tribes. The only two tribes joined together where the Uchiha and the Inferno. Sharingan and fire ke-ge-genki fought hand-in-hand together; one goal reigned in their mind, survival. This goal was the code for the village for a while until blood painted the walls of every tribe, every house, every mind… peace was not an answer, it just couldn't happen, it happened for so long.
Now many still mourn for relatives and friends, few have forgotten, even fewer still live to tell the horrible tale; but the horrible tale never forgets to be told…
After a few years the Uchiha clan was slaughtered with only two survivors, those are the rumors; because of there partnership back in the war the same fate unfolded at the Inferno clan. But, there where only three known who survived; today there can be proven five…
A dark memory always loomed into Kurigane's head; it seemed more like a dream, no, a nightmare. A burning village with a tall teenage ninja, standing there laughing; he was enjoying the moment like a victory. But, he would have to ponder on this another time, that hyper sensei of his was preparing him for three trials or something stupid like that.
"By the way, to find out your Inferno clan jutsu you're going to have to face a couple of trials. But don't think of them as trails, more like tutorials. Plus you're going to go through them with a member of the Uchiha clan, uhh… Sasuke was it?"
Oh well might as well get it over with.
Kurigane wandered the halls of the cave looking for the main room he had been in. His dark eyes scoped the passageways like a hawk hunting for its dinner. A distant sound echoed from the inside of the cave, it was a strange sound that wasn't happy, sweet, or even calming; this was laughter that could kill a bird in ear shot. The kind of laughter that sent a chill up the spine so hard all of the vibrating could make a trench in pure concrete; the laughter of the one in his memories. A shadow rushed down a nearby hall and the laughing followed. Kurigane dashed after it and the laughter began to get louder, louder, louder! The insane evil laugh just wouldn't stop; whoever this was they were enjoying the chase. The laughter became so loud it rang through Kurigane's skull! But as suddenly as it began; it stopped. Kurigane was left standing in a familiar passage way leading back to the main room.
"Glad you could make it," stated sensei. "Now that you're ready I'd like to introduce you to Sasuke Uchiha." The Uchiha boy was about the same height that Kurigane was and with the same eyes and hair color. But he was wearing a blue shirt and short pants while Kurigane had a black shirt and grey pants.
"Ok I can see you two are a talkative bunch so I'm going to go ahead and begin," laughed sensei sarcastically. "Our first tutorial is jutsu creating; this is when you make a signature jutsu and some back ups. This is one of the hardest, most difficult things to do, but Sasuke I need to teach you something else, you know, your eyes."
Sasuke nodded and walked over to sensei. Great another thing to think about, what did he mean by "your eyes?"
"Kurigane, Inarro will help you with your jutsu making." As soon as his name was called, Inarro fell down a hole in the ceiling. He didn't seem exited, kind of tired really. Arms loose in long sleeves, he taught Kurigane (half awake) in a monotone voice.
Finally it was hand sign time, unconsciously Kurigane started to make hand signs. Monkey, horse, tiger, dragon, crane, snake, tiger, monkey, dragon, crane, snake, demon. A black orb appeared in his hands, maybe demon was a bad idea. The black orb got huge and sucked in nearby rocks. "Inarro put it out now!" yelled sensei. Jutsu break jutsu, Kurigane's chakrashattered and the black orb disappeared, The Inferno Boy was back.
Ending note:Just in case you're wandering, the Inferno Boy issues aren't over. This is only the prequel (didn't expect that did you?). The real story starts in the issues of The Inferno Survivors. You didn't expect any of that I just messed with your head MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Anyway I'm just starting the true story, hope you enjoyed Inferno Boy!
