Thanks for all, encouraging reviews. I managed to write down this chapter after I returned home from the exam and so I'm submitting. Tomorrow I'm going away for a well-deserted week holiday but when I return I hope to submit the twelve (not promising I'll manage though).
With that said, I think we may go on with the story:
Chapter #11: Steal the Spotlight
Chapter Cover: picnic: Urusai is eating ramen, Jun lays under a tree and Ayame is smelling flowers nearby
Genko charged right at Urusai and Jun. "I can't kill the blonde brat, but that friend of his is another story…" and with that thought a smirk appeared on his face.
Jun instantly performed a quick set of hands seals and with the last symbol he called out: "Katon: Ryuu Kisoku no Jutsu!" and suddenly a huge ball of fire left his mouth and connected right with the charging shinobi.
Urusai wasted no time and instantly performed his own technique: "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" and as the smoke cleared and Genko could be seen putting out the fire from his clothes, tens of the blonde clones charged at him, all with their fists ready.
The white-haired man quickly realized what was going on and began attacking the clones, making them disappear in the clouds of white smoke one by one.
Suddenly one of the clones jumped on his back, making him fall to the ground. Soon after the rest of the clones followed the first tracks, each of them calling out: "Urusai Kasane!" A moment later Genko disappeared under tens of Urusai's.
"Urusai Kasane?" repeated Jun, sweat dropping. "What kind of a dumb jutsu is that? Is that the best you can do?"
"Hey, we just need to hold him off until Ayame-chan will take that tag of Naruto sensei…" reminded the blonde. "This technique is perfect for that…"
"Sorry to break your hopes then…" they both heard Genko's voice and a second later all Urusai clones were send flying into the air as the white-haired man lowered his right hand.
"With that much strength…" Inari shivered against his own will. "Those guys have no chances at defeating that monster…"
"Come on, put some more heart into it…" smiled Genko. "I know you can do better…"
"Just watch!" yelled Urusai irritated as he once more performed kage bushin. Instantly his clones surrounded the man and after performing sets of hand seals, all of them called out at once: "Katon: Kasai Kyousha no Jutsu!" and fire spikes shoot at Genko from every direction.
The white-haired man just stood there smiling as all the attacked reached his body and he disappeared behind a great wall of fire which soon turned into smoke.
Urusai dispelled his clones and smiled under his nose. "Done…"
However, when the smoke cleared, both him and Jun saw Genko standing right in front of them, almost unharmed.
"How could he withstand that?" Jun's eyes widen. "He should be just ashes now…"
"How disappointing…" smirked Genko. "Is this really the best Konoha can do? Uragiri-sama gave you too much credit… It's no fun anymore, so I guess I'll be finishing this…" and with that he charged right at the two gennins.
Jun got paralyze. Nothing worked on that opponent. What else could they do? Then he turned hi gaze at Urusai who seemed totally pissed now. His eyes became surprisingly dark as the blonde walked forward and once more performed the Fire Lance.
Genko only smiled at the fire spike hit him, but his smirk instantly disappeared the moment he felt the heat. "What the…?" was all he could say as the fire didn't seem to burn out.
"How is this…?" Jun's eyes widen even more. "For a moment there I could've sworn Urusai's flame was… different…"
"Damn, did he unleashed it?" Naruto cursed to himself as he observed the whole fight, not being able to move. Ayame just tried another unsealing method on him, but this one didn't work either. "Ayame, hurry up…" he said in an ordering tone as he got back to watching the fight.
"Naruto-sensei's expression seem to change…" noticed the kunoichi. "What just happened that got him so much worried?"
"That brat…" Genko looked at the two, young gennins that stood in front of him. "Was it the thing that Uragiri-sama talked about? But if so then why does this kid is capable of doing it?" and with that he held his burnt arm as pain still shoot from it.
"How did you do that?" Jun finally was able to ask.
"What do you mean?" Urusai gave him a questioning glare, his eyes normal again. "It's just Fire Lance… I used it against you when we fought each other, you should know how it works by now…"
"Could it be that the brat activated it without even knowing about it?" Genko's eyes widen.
"Anyways, it seems that you finally understood that you shouldn't underestimate us…" said the blonde gennin, pointing a finger at the white-haired man. "Now leave before we'll kick you ass!"
"Let me explain something to you, kid…" replied Genko. "You only wounded me because I didn't expect you to activate your flame. Now that I know you're capable of that, I'll simply avoid all your attacks, so you won't even hit me again. If you'd use a more powerful jutsu that time, you might have defeated me, but now you just lost your last chance… do not think that girl will be able to take the tag of your sensei… the only people who know the right unsealing method are Black Flame members, because Uragiri-sama was the one who invented it… there's no way someone will know how to do it besides us…"
"And I'm telling you Ayame-chan will do it…" responded Urusai calmly. "And Jun and I will stop you…"
"Seem that this little success made you overconfident… allow me to bring you down to Earth…" and the moment he said so, he disappeared from the two gennins sight.
A second later both of them received a powerful hit in the back, which send them flying at the trees. Urusai hit hard, Jun however manage to land on his feet and sprung back with his kunai ready.
Once he flew close enough to Genko, he cut from the left, the white-haired man however just bended down, thus making the young genius miss. As Jun flew right above him, Genko turned around and gave him a kick in the chin, thus sending him flying into the air.
The man prepared himself to land a powerful blow in Jun's stomach, however Urusai charged right at him which forced Genko to dodge several kunai.
As he turned around to the blonde, he only smirked and rammed him with his elbow. Urusai was send flying back, but to Genko's surprise, once he found himself in kid-air, the blonde gennin disappeared in the cloud of white smoke.
"Gotcha!" yelled Urusai as he stabbed his kunai with an explosive tag into Genko's rear. "Sennen Goroshi!" and instantly he jumped away as the tag exploded, lifting up tons of dirt.
"How come you know this?" asked Jun a bit pissed. "Naruto-sensei promised me he won't tell anyone about that…"
"What's the difference?" replied the blonde. "The important thing is I manage to slow him down a bit…"
"Sorry to disappoint you again, kid!" yelled Genko as he charged at the two at an incredible speed. Jun only manage to form a block before the white-haired man reached the place they were standing, however he got blown away by a mysterious chakra.
"What the…?" began the young genius and instantly understood what happened.
Urusai turned around and saw Naruto back on his feet with red chakra surrounding him again. Ayame stood right next to their sensei with the tag held in her hand.
"How in the world did that brat…?"
"She's the daughter of the current Hokage, Hatake Kakashi…" Naruto explained. "I'm pretty sure you are aware of the fact that he fought your master many years ago. Kakashi-sama also possess the Sharingan in his left eye which allows him to copy seals and jutsus… I'm guessing that during the duel Uragiri used the unsealing method for some reason and Kakashi just copied it… then he showed it to Ayame, so she'd know what to do… at least that's my guess…"
"Well, it's not of any, really importance anyways…" smirked Genko. "So I guess our fight continues… only this time I'll finish you off quickly and then take care of the brats…"
"I don't think so…" replied the blonde jounin. "You see, I managed to figure out why you're so strong and resistant… with that knowledge I also know how to defeat you…"
"Really?" smiled the white-haired man. "Lets check your theory then…" and at that both of them charged at each other once more.
And so the eleventh chapter ends. Hope you liked it.
Now, I'm still short on free time, but I really haven't done this in a long while, so here's the next issue of jutsu encyclopedia:
Katon: Kasai Arashi no Jutsu (Fire Element: Firestorm Sill) – a powerful technique for which, in order to work, the user must first gather chakra in his mouth and the release it in the form of the fire, by performing the right hand seals. The released fire surrounds the target, creating something like a fire cage with no way out (type: ninjutsu used by: Kodawari Urusai).
And with that this chapter is done. I hope you guys won't have to wait too long for the next.
See ya.
