After class Meile and her friend Aniya were talking to each other.
"Man, that Raven-dude is totally un-cool." Aniya looked at Meile; Meile was a short, hyper, light brown haired ninja who often spoke loud and quickly. She wore a yellow headband and a yellow one-piece jumpsuit. On each arm there were two yellow wristbands. Aniya often thought that Meile's outfit looked like a yellow paintball exploded in her face.
Aniya on the other hand was almost the exact opposite of Meile. She had stark white hair that she wore in a ponytail, she wore a loose gray shirt with black pants and she carried a short white sword, a memento from her father, Kakashi of the Leaf.
"Meile," Aniya sighed, "It doesn't matter, I doubt that we will see Raven-sensei ever again, so ZIP IT!"
"Rude!" Meile scoffed, "geez Aniya, show some manners!"
"When you grow a brain, I'll get some manners" she retorted.
"Don't you ladies have something better to do?" remarked a strange voice. The two young ninja turned around to see Raven, leaning against the side of a building holding a lit cigarette and exhaling smoke as he spoke. Aniya was stunned for a second, she hadn't heard him walk up to where they where, and she usually was top notch in detecting other people. Aniya looked at Raven and decided, "This is what power looks like" Raven was dressed in a long flowing black robe that went all the way to his ankles. The robe was designed to conceal everything, so nothing was seen unless Raven allowed it to be seen. The robe also had a black sash that was barely visible against the similar cloth of the robe. He wore his headband in such a way that it tied back his long hair from his face. His hair was jet black, which is inherent in almost all Uchiha clan members, and it fell a little past his shoulders. He carried himself like the accomplished ninja that he was, Aniya recalled some of the stories that her father Kakashi told her, he was adopted by the sand village shortly after Itachi's betrayal, at age five he challenged his teacher to a duel, and won. At age twelve he passed the chunin exams; using a shadow clone. He joined the Akatsuki at age 15 and became legend, during his employment with the criminal organization, Akatsuki he took an entire fortress single-handedly and was personally responsible for the fall of the government of the Land of Steel. Ten years later in he created his own organization called Cloak which became the top military organization in the world, until Raven got bored which led to its disbandment. After which he joined Konoha and became a black ops captain in a week. During the incident with Gaara's death he served as a surrogate Kazekage until Gaara was revived, he then returned to Konoha and became the top ninja in the village and got to pick and choose what he did with his day. Some say that the Lady Hokage wouldn't stand a chance if he decided to become Hokage.
The secret to Raven's success was the legendary Sharingan. The Sharingan was an ocular jutsu, that allowed him to read his opponents next move, see their chakra patterns, and most importantly, it allowed him to read his opponents hand signs necessary to perform jutsu. So by doing this, he was able to copy and counter-act his enemy's jutsu before they even set it off. When this combined with Raven's huge amount of chakra and his natural genius intellect, he was almost unstoppable.
"Apparently you didn't hear me. I said don't you have anything better to do than gossip?" he said with contempt.
"No dude, we just hangin', ya know?" Meile chirped. Aniya flinched. Raven's face turned a slight shade of red. The change was almost invisible, but otherwise he kept his composure.
"That is getting annoying, but I'll tell you what, if you can beat me in a training session… you can call me, dude." Raven's voice was laced with cruelty and menace. "Meet me on the training field in one hour; that is an order"
One hour later Meile and Aniya made their way to the training field. The training field was a wide green pasture with three tall stakes in the center, but other wise it was clear of all plant life, except grass.
"You're late." The girls turned quickly to see Raven finish a cup of sake. "I said one hour. It has been one hour and 2 minutes" he said as he lit a cigarette. Meile's expression was one of disgust.
"Ya know dude that stuff wi-"she suddenly doubled over and screamed. "Ahhhhhhhh"
"I told you not to call me dude." Raven whispered harshly.
Aniya was stunned. One second Raven was standing across the field, and then he was suddenly punching Meile in the stomach. She looked back to where he used to be and was shocked to see him still there. She looked back at Meile, and Raven was there too. Unbelievable. He had made a shadow clone without either of them seeing the signs and he sent it to punch Meile in the gut; all within the blink of an eye. He was incredible.
"You're gonna pay for that!" Meile said with much effort.
"If you think you can make me; then lets begin" Raven said with an icy voice.
