Tadam! I wrote another chapter (damn, I must be bored)... but before you'll get to reading it, here're the answers to your reviews:
Shang - well, I'm glad you like the introductions, coz I really wanted to make them funny... hope you'll like what's in stored.
Hyde - well, hope this is fast enough for you :wink: Since it seems Ayame is your favorite, I'll tell you that you'll get to know her a bit better in the next chappie. STill I hope you'll read this one.
Frankie - I do not plan on dropping it... and soon you'll see that this team number seven isn't that much similar to the old one
Ming - well, the exam started already... hope it won't fail your expectations
Blue Kanji - if you want I can give you my e-mail... that'd make comunication easier, won't it?
And with that, I think I can go on with the story:
Chapter #4: The Blood of Kodawari
Chapter Cover: Urusai with a wicked smile, carrying a flame thrower
"Most basic skill of a shinobi" thought Naruto as he looked around just to spot no-one. "But attacking from the hide out is so lame… and they won't attack me unless I'll go into one of their traps... Guess there's no point in standing here… they won't attack me on an open space so the only option is to go into the forest… Something tells me this is going to be a long day…" and with that he marched forwards the trees.
After a longer march, Naruto got bored as hell, so he decided to make his students attack him:
"Here, little gennins" he said, obviously making fun of them. "Come on, daddy's got a nice, golden bell for you…"
"Why you…!" a voice came from behind and as Naruto turned around, he had to jump to the left, in order to avoid shurikens coming right at him.
The one who threw them, was Urusai.
"What an idiot…" thought Jun from his hideout. "That's exactly what Naruto-sensei wanted, you dope! You exposed yourself!"
"Urusai doesn't stand much chances, but at least we'll learn how strong Naruto-sensei is…" figured Ayame from a tree branch.
"I kinda figured you'd fall for that…" announced the blonde jounin. "Now then, what are you planning? I hope it's not just coming at me, coz if you do I'll tell you right now: that plan has zero chances of success…"
"Aren't you over confident?" asked Urusai. "Underestimating your enemy is a biggest mistake shinobi can make!"
"Well, at least you did learned something at the Academy…" sighed Naruto. "But if I'd have to be completely honest with you, in the real world, gennin defeating a jounin is likely to happen… of course I won't stop you if you want to find out yourself…"
"Sure I do!" replied Urusai and began performing the right seals. "Katon: Kasai Kyousha no Jutsu!" and a powerful, fire spike flew right at the blonde jounin.
Using fire, eh?" thought Naruto, jumping into the air and thus avoiding the jutsu. "Well, should be expected from someone from the Kodawari clan…"
"Now I got you!" yelled Urusai as he threw few of his kunai's right at Naruto, who was still in mid-air.
"Can't dodge…" figured the blonde jounin. "Then I'll just have too…" and as the knives got closer, Naruto grabbed all of them with his hands and landed softly on the ground.
"Told you so…" reminded Naruto as he threw the kunai's into the ground.
"Would… you… just… shut up!" yelled Urusai as he began a new chain of hand seals. "Katon: Enmaku!" and instantly a huge among of smoke came out of his mouth, covering the whole area.
Heh, using such technique… that's practically a chuunin level skill… but it was meant for safer escapes, not for fighting…" thought Naruto, as he looked around. "I could just get rid of the smoke with one of my wind jutsus… but I guess that'd be unfair if I'd treat those brats as they were jounins… better stick to basic skills…besides, it's been a while since I pulled a prank on someone…"
Urusai walked slowly through the smoke, trying to spot his sensei. Finally he noticed a figure standing to his left. The blonde gennin prepared his kunai and then jumped at the man. Too his surprise his knife went right through the body.
Urusai looked puzzled, not knowing what happened.
"Bushin no Jutsu" announced Naruto, how was now standing behind him. "You fall for one of the most basic techniques. That doesn't make you look good…"
"Look who's talking…" Naruto heard a voice coming from behind and before he knew it, he had to jump to the right to avoid a shuriken threw from behind by Urusai.
He send a bushin to attack me in order to avoid possible traps…" figured the blonde jounin as he kept avoiding shurikens and kunais which were coming at him from the smoke. "He's smarter then I first thought…"
Finally shinobi tools stopped flying. The smoke disappeared and Naruto saw Urusai standing in front of him with a kunai ready.
"What do you expect to do with that?" asked Naruto, rising his eyebrow.
"Get the bell, of course" replied Urusai confidently and jumped at his sensei.
Naruto bended back in order to dodge the cut from the right. As the knife was going above his head he grabbed the hand that was holding the kunai and tossed his student at the tree.
Urusai bounced of the tree with his feet and flew at the blonde jounin still holding a kunai in his hand. But this time Naruto only side stepped and when the blonde gennin was flying right next to him, he grabbed him by the collar. Urusai's feet went in front of his eyes and before he knew it, he landed hard on his butt.
"Dammit!" cursed Urusai. "I can't even lay a finger on him! Can the gap really be this big?"
"Well…?" asked Naruto, looking as his student was getting back to his feet. "If you won't get the bell, you won't have lunch. I don't mean to be rude, but as it is now, I don't think you'll manage to get these" with that he pointed at the two, small bells.
"I know that!" yelled back Urusai. "And I'm still gonna kick your ass!"
And before Naruto knew it, the blonde gennin was charging at him at full speed once more.
Urusai jumped into the air, aiming to kick Naruto in the head with his right leg, but the blonde jounin simply kneeled under the kick and the leg flew above his head.
As Urusai landed with his feet on the ground and back turned to Naruto, he launched a left kick, spinning around, but to his surprise the blonde jounin propped his right hand on the ground and launched himself away from Urusai's range.
Before Urusai knew it, he felt a pat on the head. He turned around to see Naruto with a grin on his face and an annoying "yo!" coming from his mouth.
That one "yo" angered Urusai to no end. He clenched his fists and attacked his sensei with a storm of punches, but the blonde jounin was easily dodging all of them.
"Using anger in a fight is one of the worst things a shinobi can do" announced Naruto as Urusai's fist went right next to his head. "When you attack with rage, you show hundreds of openings. For example…" and with those words Naruto avoided another punch and took Urusai down a peg or two.
That angered the blonde gennin even more. He launched a kick in Naruto's face but before he knew it, he felt someone pushing his head from behind. Standing only on one leg, Urusai couldn't hold his balance and landed with his face on the ground.
"See what I mean?" asked Naruto, standing behind him with his arms cross.
And he didn't even broke a sweat…" thought Ayame, looking at her sensei. "How are we supposed to take the bell from someone like him?"
"Well, Urusai practically failed…" figured Jun from his hideout. "Gotta think of a better way to get those damn bells…"
"I won't fail here!" announced Urusai, getting back to his feet. "I'll get those stupid bells, even if that kills me!"
"Boy you're stubborn" sighed Naruto. "Just like your father…"
"My father?" the blonde gennin calmed down a bit. "You knew my father?"
"Well… you could say that…" nodded the jounin. "He had anger problems as well… only in his case, when he got mad, no-one was safe… in your case you're only a danger to yourself and your comrades… guess that short temper runs in your family…"
"What else do you know about my father? Tell me everything you know!"
"No can do…" replied Naruto, realizing that he already told the boy too much. "Maybe another time"
"Tell me now!" yelled Urusai in an ordering tone.
"No" responded Naruto calmly. "Right now you should be worrying about getting a bell then about your father… and still it seems you're not getting any closer to getting the bell…"
"I'll beat you to a pulp!" yelled Urusai. "And once that's done I'll take that damn bell and make you tell me everything you know about my father!" and with that he began performing a new set of hand seals.
As the last seal was done, Urusai called out: "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"
And suddenly his place took ten, other blonde gennins.
Well, this concludes this chapter. Hope you all liked it and that you'll leave me a review with your opinion.
At this point I'd like to thank Shang who helped me out with writting this chappie (mostly with the fighting scene) and for allowing me to use his jutsu encyklopedia idea. From now on, I'll place a description for one jutsu per chapter (unless all the jutsus used in the story will be described... then I'll think of some filler up). So, here's the first technique described in this story:
Katon: Enmaku (Fire Element: Smokescreen) - a technique performed by most chuunins. The user first gathers chakra in his mouth and then turns it into flames. But before he releases the fire from his mouth, the fire burns out and in stead of flames, smoke escapes the users mouth. (Type: ninjutsu; Used by: Kodawari Urusai, most chuunins)
Hope you like the jutsu encyklopedia idea. If you do, let me know and I'll continue it.
That's that. Take care and cya around.
