The Essence Within (part 1)
Chapter 2… Pain.
The Sun rose slowly. Too slow for the three Chunin awaiting daybreak. Hours before their first assignment, they decided to meet together.
"Who can actually believe we made it to the Chunin level!" Kaichou asked Akurei. Akurei and Kaichou have been best friends since Academy; they walked up to the gates of the training grounds together. The gate was closed.
"Well you're just lucky I didn't have to beat your ass during the final Chunin exams," Akurei said, " you ready to go in?" he asked.
Akurei and Kaichou jumped up to the top of the gates. "You know once we get inside its on." Kaichou sneered. Akurei smirked, and jumped off the gate into the training grounds. Before his feet touched the ground, his body disappeared. This was no shock to Kaichou, Akurei's spirit energy allowed him to teleport short distances. Kaichou closed his eyes, when they reopened; the Sharigan shone a bright red. Three black symbols stood out against the red of his eyes. He landed on the ground. And ran into the thicket of trees. Akurei appeared out of nowhere kunai drawn, he flew at Kaichou. Kaichou pulled out his kunai and they clashed. Akurei brought his foot up into Kaichou's ribs, but Kaichou saw it coming. He sidestepped and punched Akurei in the stomach. Akurei jumped back. The pain was nothing. He had felt worse.
"you know I can see your moves before you make them, just because you have no chakra for me to manipulate with my Sharigan genjutsu, I can still see your movements before you make them."
Kaichou dashed towards Akurei. Akurei held his hand out and spirit energy shot out. The strands of energy slammed into Kaichou, pinning him to the ground. The strands held him in place. Akurei walked up to him, "shit" he said, "a substitution jutsu!" Kaichou came down onto Akurei from above, Akurei saw his friend coming down on him, he used more of his spirit energy and became transparent. Kaichou crashed into the ground, standing in the transparent figure of Akurei. Kaichou stood, his Sharigan sharp and alert. He jumped back a few spaces.
I guess this will have t get real wont it. He made 3 hand seals, and his hand glittered in the rising sun, "light style, art of embers!" The sun seemed to shine on his hand. He ran at Akurei. " damn, he'll faze through me but ninjutsu will still have some affect on me, even if they pass right through me!" He held his hands out in front of him,, the wind kicked up, "Spirit art!, immortal shields!!" three shields appeared in front of him, these shields represent the same shields Orochimaru summons, however the spirit form of the shields. Kaichou ran into the first shield, the shield gave easily, the sun continued t arc over the horizon, Kaichou ran through the next shield, his hand shimmered a vibrant white spark emitted from his fingertips and his entire arm burst into flames. The third gate held the most resistance. Kaichou saw this coming, he slashed his arm out and sliced through the final gate. The strength of the gate threw him back, but he landed and trusted forward.
Unaware of the third person on the field. She landed in between them so swiftly and quietly, Kaichou did not have a chance to react, its not that he wanted to hit her, but that he knew what would happen afterwards. His hand, immersed in white fire came in contact with her skin. In that instance, his jutsu went out, and he was thrown off his feet and into the trees.
"I thought I'd find you here," Reiki said, holding a hand out to Kaichou. "Come on, the Hokage is waiting for us." Reiki helped Kaichou up. Akurei walked over and joined them. "Last one there has to kiss the Hokage's toes!!" she ran off, incredibly fast. Kaichou stood there. "well shall we go?" he asked. Akurei replied, "do you think she even knows how much I like her?" Kaichou looked at him and laughed, "no chance in hell." He ran off.
What!!" Akurei yelled, trailing behind him
