Chapter 15:The curse of Tsurugi
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO
-Hey, wake up lazy-ass, waked up the voice.
-Nani? Softly said Syng, still half asleep.
-First time I see someone lazier than me, answered back Shikamaru, opening the curtains of the guest room. You want to see the deers, right?
-Oh, the deers... Said Syng, sitting in the bed, shirtless.
His sleep had been a hard one. Flashes from the past week kept coming back in his head. He was in the Nara house, wasn't he? After becoming friend with... yeah... first was Naruto. There was also Kiba and Shika...
-Gaara! Lee! Hinata! Shouted the boy.
-Hun? Grinned the Nara boy, surprised. What are you... If you want, you can go see them in the hospital... and for the sand guy...
-N'ah... Its okay, don't care.
Syng got up from the bed. He was actually naked, startling Shikamaru. The boy turned away from Syng.
-Troublesome, growled Shikamaru.
-Oh... sorry... I don't know what are the custom in Konoha's... In Tsurugi, boys and mens aren't afraid in front of each others... Girls too.
At Ino's house...
-Thanks for the shower, smiled the girl coming out of the bathroom, naked.
-Whaaaaaa!? Screamed Ino. Get in the room, fast!
The blonde pushed the other girl in the room and locked the door.
-If my father see you, my mother's gonna kill him!! Shouted Ino at Tifa.
-Oh sorry, I didn't meant to-
-WOW! Your assets are huge!! Continued shouting the blonde.
"What's with those ninjas!? Ever heard of a "body" before!?" Both thought Syng and Tifa at the same time.
-Mmm... I shivered... I wonder why, said Syng.
-Probably because you're naked, said Shikamaru, finally turning back.
The door opened and Shikaku (Shika's father) entered the room. Shikamaru startled while Shikaku looked at Syng.
-Hey boys! Morning! He said, not caring about Syng. Better get dressed boy, or should I say "man", laughed the Nara father. Anyway, get ready!
Shikamaru waited for his father to leave the room before talking. Still shocked by the way the morning had started.
-How troublesome, sighed the boy.
After getting dressed, the three guys ate a delicious breakfast cooked by Shikamaru's mother. Soon after, they left for the deers farm where Shikaku quickly started to feed at soon as they arrived. A young beast came to see the men who was leaving food on the ground. Shikamaru was dazing at the sky, looking at the morning clouds, getting sleepy again.
-So... this is a deer... Said Syng, looking at the young animal.
-Yup, this one is still young, his mother is hiding near... Their antlers make good medicine, their meat is the best and their leather are resistant and easy to work with, answered Shikaku.
-Quite the good animal... You know a lot about them.
Well, he was from the Nara clan, after all!
-What kind of animals do you have in Tsurugi?
-Tsurugi is geographically-speaking a dry region... Since we have mountains as our primary relief... We have animals like bears, savages goats and mostly predators. Since we mine a lot for metals and materials, bears can be a problem when it comes to mines and caves...
-Well, I'm done for here... we'll move a little to go put food at another place!
Shikamaru was still dazed looking at the clouds. He slowly followed his father and Syng as they were talking. Shikamaru, who had heard a little bit about Tsurugi yesterday when they were talking, thought that Syng probably missed his father, since he couldn't see him anymore.
-Well, that's was the last one, said Shikaku after an hour of walking/feeding.
-Great! It was fun! Now... I should go get Tifa and Misty. "I wonder where Misty is..."
-Wait, didn't you say you were going to show me your fighting style?
-Oh? Sure, smiled Syng.
They both got on a plain to start their friendly match, but were soon interrupted by a girl voice.
-Shikamaru! Syng! Was shouting Ino from far away.
The girl was walking with Tifa.
-Oi, Ino. Simply said Shikamaru.
-What are you up to? Smiled Ino, looking at Syng who had been interrupted.
-My father wants to fight against Syng, answered the Nara boy.
-IN WHAT TROUBLE DID YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO AGAIN!? Growled Tifa, punching Syng in the face, throwing him far.
-Nothing! I swear! He just want to see me fighting! Said Syng, getting back on his knee.
-Oh, its fine then! We can watch, right Ino? Shikamaru? Smiled the girl.
-What a troublesome girl, both said the Nara guys.
Tifa glared at the boys with fire in her eyes. It was like hell was burning around her with rage.
-Who's the troublesome girl? She simple said with a smile who could make a dead scream.
-Nothing! Gasped Shikamaru.
The guys got ready to fight while Shikamaru, Ino and Tifa were watching. Both Shikaku and Syng were smiling their own way before the match started.
-Oi! Fuuton: fuyou fi-to (Wind: Floating feet)! Shouted Syng first.
The boy crossed his legs as he began floating in the air.
-Nani! Exclaimed Shikamaru. "He use both fire and wind technique?!"
In a fast movement, Syng summoned three sword. The blades started turning around him, floating like him.
-I saw Shikamaru fighting, I figure you use the same shadow bind jutsu, right?
Shikaku threw some shurikens at Syng. The boy parried easily the projectile with his swords, as well as seeing the shadow of the man getting near his's. He quickly moved in the air, floating to the left while throwing a sword a the jounnins, who barely escaped the attack, losing his concentration on his shadow.
-I don't give the time to breath! Shouted Syng, throwing two sword at the same time, making the blades dance around the man.
Shikaku was escaping every attack easily, the sword were fast, but the blade were big so it was easy to parry if timed correctly. "So the boy use swords. How troublesome."
-Katon, Tsuku Tsurugi! (Fire: Burning sword) Shouted Syng throwing his third sword like a projectile in fire (well, the sword WAS in fire after all.)
The sword went right through Shikaku's chest. The blade stuck in the man explode in fire. The three blade went back to Syng, turning again around the boy.
-Nani!? Father?! Shouted Shikamaru.
The three genins panicked. The sword had plunge right IN Shikaku's chest and then had explode! Syng was still looking around him, floating in round to watch near him. The fire had dispelled, a tree lump was lying on the ground, cut in two, almost burned to ashes. The replacement technique. Rather than trying to escape the move and getting cut by one of the two other sword, he had escape in another way, replacing himself with a tree lump...
-That's not original, for a jounin... whispered Syng.
His blades suddenly turned on themselves, and pointed at Syng. All the sword were now by the boy's neck.
-The shadow technique... on my swords?
Shikaku was hidden in the bushes. Rather than trying to control Syng with his shadow, the jounin had used a deviant technique of the shadow neck hold to get a grasp on the swords.
-However... Smiled Syng.
The sword disappeared in a flash, leaving a smoke screen where Syng was. Shikaku got out of the bushes.
-Eh? Troublesome, said the men.
-Indeed.
The boy was behind Shikaku, pointing a sword at the back of the men's neck.
-But it seem I've lost, simply said Syng.
Every spectator looked surprised at first, but when all of the smoke was dispelled, they could saw the whole scene. Of course, in front of the tanned boy was Shikaku, but a mere replica it seemed, as another one was behind Syng, controlling him in a bind of his own shadow.
-Say, you put up a good fight, finally smiled Shikaku, releasing his tie on the young shinobi. You can be Shikamaru boyfriend, you're strong enough!
-WHAT!? Both shouted the boys.
-Its not really common for boys in Konoha, but I can't go against nature, now matter how troublesome it is.
Shikamaru was shaking in fear while Syng was almost dead from the shock. Ino was scared for life while Tifa was... staring blankly at the sky, dribbling.
-Shika and Syng are... tried to say Ino.
-We're not! I'll prove it right here! Shouted Syng, getting back on his feet.
He walked toward Ino, passing in front of a confused Shikaku, a traumatised Shikamaru and a foaming Tifa. He took the girl in his arms, moved the girl near him and looked in her blue-green like eyes. His closed his and softly kissed the girl (who he couldn't even remember the name).
The blonde was first startled, but let herself drives away in the passion of the kiss... which was broken by Syng while the boy turned around.
-See?! Said Syng with a smile.
Ino was having a hard time staying on her feet, as her knees were shaking. She was in a divine trance. Tifa looked at the girl become starting to shake as well: in fear.
"What!?" she thought. "The curse of Syng will be brought here too!?".
Shikamaru and his father were looking at the both the girl and the boys.
-How do you... kiss like that!? Said Shikamaru, watching Ino drool in passion.
-What? Is there a problem? Asked Syng, confused.
-Of course there isn't!! Now go look for Misty, RIGHT NOW! Screamed Tifa while kicking him in the butt.
The boy took his run and immediately went to Konoha by taking the same road he had took with Shika yesterday, without even turning back to see why Tifa had kick him.
Once he was far enough, Tifa sighed at the sight of Ino.
-How come she's like that? Shika's boyfriend sure seems to have... knocked her off, said Shikaku.
Shikamaru sighed.
-Dad, I'm not-
-Because of the curse... Said Tifa, on a serious note.
-The curse?! Panicked Shikamaru.
The boy went to Ino. The girl was lying on the ground, drooling and dreaming, like in a trance. She had sparkle in her eyes and smiled to nothing.
-What curse?! Asked Shikaku.
-In Tsurugi... it is well known, but I doubt people here would have heard of it... The curse of Tsurugi... the fear of everything since Syng was 11...
-What happened when he was 11? Asked Shikamaru (This was way too troublesome for him).
-His...
-Yes?... Said Shikaku, impatient.
-It was the year of his... his first kiss.
-WHAT!? Screamed a voice in the bushes, near them.
Everyone (except Ino) turned and got ready to attack toward the bushes.
-Calm down! Its me! Said the boy's voice.
A little dog came out looking at them. Kiba soon followed Akamaru, getting off some leaves out the fur of his coat.
-You were listening, dog-boy? Asked Tifa.
-Well, I got here during Syng's fight. I was walking Akamaru, answered Kiba.
-Troublesome... both said the Naras.
-So what's the curse? Why's Ino like this? Continued Kiba, as if nothing had happened just now.
-Well... Syng had a curse upon him... We don't know how it happened, but Misty was the first victim...
-The silent girl always with you? Asked Shikamaru.
-Yeah... She still haven't fully recovered yet... It was during a class at Tsurugi's academy. We were only 8 future genins in the whole academy at that time.
Flashback
-Syng! Sven! Are any of you two listening?
-Yes mister! Said both the young boys, trying not to laugh.
Syng was 11 at that time, and always only wore a cape over a fishnet shirt. The other boy beside him was more muscular and blond. Just looking at him would tell you he was gonna be an handsome strong hunk. They both then started to laugh so hard that everyone turned to look at them with an angry face.
-What are you laughing about, baka!? Shouted Tifa, next to him. Can't you listen to sensei!?
-Why are you two laughing? You want to get punished again? Asked the sensei, closing his book.
-Its not that sensei, started the blond boy.
-But we saw you and Hiaka-chan yesterday! Continued the other.
-You were kissing! Laughed the two boys.
-How immature, started a young Tifa.
The sensei started to laugh a little bit as well, making both boys stop.
-You really thinks its funny to kiss? He said, not trying to deny anything. Well, be aware that only true men can kiss. And you too don't seem like mens to me, just a pair of young innocent boy.
-That's not true! Shouted the boys, standing up.
-Well... as far as I know, neither of you have a girlfriend... A shinobi isn't supposed to love, to care... In Tsurugi, the true shinobis don't have family, wife or girlfriend... so they leave their passion in a night.
-Mens sucks, said Tifa to a friend next to her.
–And you too can't be men if you can't kiss! Laughed the sensei.
-We'll prove you that we can kiss! Said Sven.
-Yeah!
10 minutes later...
-Tifa, please! Whimpered the young Syng.
-No. She simply said, reading her book.
It was during the break of the class. The little boy looked in the corner of the class, Sven was there with a girl. The young blonde was blushing while the boy was leaning toward her to kiss her.
-I see there's a men in the class, said the sensei while entering the room, interrupting Sven's kiss. And there's some boys too, he smiled, looking at Syng.
-That's not true!
The little Syng got up and turned on himself. He took a few step and stood in front of a little girl whose mouth and neck were covered by a scarf. He took out the scarf and leaned to kiss her.
Everyone gasped in the class, as he was kissing... Misty, the most dangerous future-genins of the class... but she did not attack him...
When he broke the kiss, the girl was in heavens.
-Did I do something wrong? Asked Syng.
/Flashback
-And this is how the curse was born. The kisses of Syng are so great that they can seduce a girl in the blink of an eye, or the twist of a tongue should I say...
-Wow!... I need to go! Shouted Kiba, running away, not even waiting for Akamaru who ran to his master while barking.
-Its troublesome, but I need to go too! Followed Shikamaru.
-Oh damn... sighed Tifa.
She looked at Shikaku who was staring at the boys running far away.
-Not you too? Said Tifa with an angry look.
-No! Of course not!!! Defend Shikaku. You should wake her up.
Tifa got on her knee and looked at Ino. The girl was still in a trance. Tifa got near her to shake her shoulders, but Ino took Tifa.
-Oh Syng, said the blonde, taking Tifa near her.
Ino kissed Tifa, who was shocked and not reacting. Tifa broke the kiss and slapped the girl, waking her up. Tifa was spitting, and soon Ino start to spit too, realising she had just kissed a girl.
-Oh boy! I kissed a girl!! Screamed Ino.
-Talk about it, spitted Tifa.
-... but it wasn't that bad... you're good at it too, said Ino after a while. Mind teaching me?
Shikaku looked at that, his brain simply turning off. He would wake up from his nosebleed sooner or later anyway...
The morning after, Syng was being dragged to somewhere he didn't knew, as well as Tifa was being waked at Ino's house.
-What the hell?! Said Syng while Kiba was pushing him.
They finally arrived at the boy's house. Kiba broke in and pushed Syng in the his room.
The room wasn't so great... quite a normal one actually. Still better than Naruto's.
-Why did you brought me here? I must meet up with Misty at... Shikamaru? Said Syng looking on the bed.
The boy looked away, blushing with an angry look on his face.
-Oi, Syng...
-Shika, why are you blushing? This is where you were this morning? You father said you had left soon...
Kiba closed the door and entered. This was the first time he wasn't with Akamaru... There was something with those two. Syng startled when he saw another boy in the corner of the room. Chouji was eating chips, looking at him.
-O-kay... slowly said Syng. Now someone will explain me... what the hell is happening here, or-
-I summon a feline to escape hastily from here, carefully said Tifa, looking in front of her.
She had just woke up in Ino's room. She looked in front of her, while three girl were waiting.
-Well... Sakura, Tenten and I...
-We want you to teach us how to kiss! Said Tenten with a great smile, while Sakura was blushing like Hinata would have.
-Nani!? Shouted Syng.
-Come one! We saw Ino yesterday! Said Kiba.
-I'm not interested in kisses, said Chouji.
-You're only interested in eating Cho, answered back the dog boy.
-Troublesome...
-Indeed, sighed Syng. How do you expect me to teach you how to kiss?!
-Well, by kissing and telling us what to do! Explained Ino. Of course, yours wasn't near as good as Syng's... But, hey, it was good!
...and so, I'll let you guess how the day continued. That is, until around 5, where both Tifa and Syng ran in the streets of Konoha, only to bump into each other.
-Tifa!
-Syng!
-You won't believe what happened, not even who would have dreamed about it, said Syng with a terrified look on his face.
-Your worst perverted phantasm can't even get near what happened, answered Tifa with the same face.
-Let me guess, said a third voice. The curse? Smiled Misty.
-Hey... answered Syng, used to Misty's sudden appearance. How do you know about it?
-I've been training with Shino. To ensure you were safe and that I could keep track with you two, he put bugs on you so I could know where you are at every moment...
-BUGS!? Screamed Tifa.
She fainted on the ground.
-Well... I may have kissed boys today... but seeing her faint because of that pays it well! Smiled the boy.
-I guess Konoha's not changing us that much, softly spoke Misty.
Syng sat on the ground, staying silent.
-Sooner or later... You'll have to face the fact that Tsurugi is a part of you, just like Konoha is a part of every genins, chunnins and jounins here. Each one of your sword is a part of both you and Tsurugi, don't deny it, baka.
