Chapter Two

-Shinobi Fight -

Genma was shocked.

The person standing behind him had been able to sneak unnoticed behind him. Must be a ninja- certainly jounin-level.

Genma whirled around, two kunais already in his hand- and attacked the enemy. He was more than surprised to find the ninja standing right behind him.

The ninja deflected both kunais easily with one of his own and tried to kick Genma. Genma dodged and kicked the enemy´s leg.

The ninja sweared and stumbled backwards. Genma was at his side immediately and punched him in the stomach. The sheer force of the blow let the ninja crash into a tree. With difficulties he raised from the ground, clutching his aching belly. "Who are you? And what are you doing here?" The ninja asked.

Genma could see the symbol of the raincountry on his hitai-ate.
He tried to detect any signs of Raidou or the others but couldn't find any. So he had to take care of the Rain-ninja alone.

Without answering the question he attacked again.

The other ninja appeared to be excellent in hand-to-hand combat and a worthy opponent. But Genma was running out of time. A fight like this couldn't stay unnoticed for too long and soon the place would be filled with security guards or ninjas.

The two opponents separated for a moment. Genma studied the person opposite him. The Rain-ninja was a young man, perhaps 25 years old. He seemed to be very talented, but was already running out of energy and out of breath.

Suddenly the enemy took out a kunai with an explosion-jutsu stucked to it and threw it.

Genma sweared silently and spit his senbon to deflect it. "Senbon Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."

The senbon multiplied, the first one hit the kunai directly and it exploded, the other four copies flew through the explosion and hit the enemy.

For a short moment Genma wasn't able to see anything because of the smoke- and he was sure that by now even the sleepiest person must have awaken- therefore he didn't notice the little needles flying through the dark and hitting him in the chest.

Gasping he looked at the four little needles stucking there. Hastily he put them off. Poisend? He wondered.

His opponent appeared suddenly, having used the smoke as a shield for a surprise attack.

He overwhelmed Genma and dragged him to the ground. Pinning him there with his weight he threw punch after punch at Genmas face till Genma managed to get his legs free and pulled the enemy off him. The Rain-ninja landed gracefully at his feet and jumped again.

Genma came hurriedly to his feet and dodged. Suddenly he felt dizzy and stumbled. His enemy immediately took advantage of the situation and hit him hard in the head.

Genma fell hard to the ground. His enemy approached carefully. Genma grabbed some dirt and threw it at his opponent's eyes. Then he jumped to his feet and side kicked the other.

He threw some shuriken which his enemy was unable to deflect , he had not the slightest chance. Genma overpowered him now easily.

It just took some moments and the Rain-ninja was lying at the ground, breathing heavily and just barely conscious. Suddenly Genmas vision blurred again. Shit. Not now. He thought.

His energy left and his knees gave away under him and he tumbled to the ground.

There he lied, unable to use his numb limbs. His eyes were open and looked at the dark sky with its thousand shining little stars. How ironic. He mused.

Then his vision faded and he lost consciousness.

Hope, you liked it.

Perhaps the chapters are a bit short. I try to change that... if I´m in the mood...

I hope everything is understandable and I don´t repeat words too often...I noticed that my english is really limited.
