Sorry everyone but I decided to leave you guys at a cliffy for the next two or three weeks ... lol ... sorry ... I am doing this because ... I'M EVIL! plus ... i feel like it ... lol ... anyways ... I'm gonna have a brief two or three chapter mini-arc about the Yamanichi's ... so ... so far ... it's been around two and a half weeks since the Yamanichi's have come back to Konoha from the Wave Country ... Kakashi is impressed with them and the chapter starts out while he's taking them all out for ramen after a successful C mission. (P.S. Takeshi's RICH! He never spends more then 25 percent of the money he makes from his missions on ramen and a few weapons. Rin spends around 70 percent on clothes and scrolls, Kai spends around 40 percent on strong weapons.
)blah( - Kakashi's thoughts
Takeshi's, Rin's, and Kai's thoughts are the same as Naruto's, Sakura's, and Sasuke's respectively.
Who the Hell are You
Doing Here?
Takeshi was jumping up and down while Rin was just smiling brightly as she watched her brother. Kakashi was smiling as well. The Yamanichi's were becoming excellent ninja. Kakashi couldn't be any happier.
)It's hard to believe that they've only been genin for four months ... I wonder if I should sign them up ...( Kakashi continued to think while Kai began to go through a series of hand seals.
Takeshi stopped and asked, "What are you doing, Kai?"
"Practicing," Kai said with a taunting smile, "the seals for Chidori. I'm going to perfect the Lightning Blade faster then you are going to perfect Rasengan." He snickered and added, "Not that mine's weaker then yours."
Takeshi pouted. "What the Hell! Your Chidori's just as strong as my Rasengan! Besides ... both of our moves are about 80 as efficient as they could be, after all this time."
Kakashi grinned and said, "Yo! Take it easy you guys." He picked up the two. "We're here to celebrate not get into another brawl between you guys." Takeshi grinned, and Kai put on a smile.
"But Kakashi-sensei! You can't call a celebration a celebration unless-" Takeshi started.
" - Takeshi and I start a fight," Kai finished. Rin just smiled brightly at Kakashi and sighed.
Kakashi smiled back, and said, "Well... who cares ... as long as I'm the one who decides what we're gonna do ... no fights ... at least for the next two hours ...anyways ... make your orders!" They had arrived.
"O YEAH!" Takeshi yelled as he ordered, "FIVE MISO RAMEN PLEASE!"
The owner smiled, "You have an appetite as big as Naruto's." Takeshi just smiled brightly and paid before digging in. "Itadakimasu!"
Kai and Rin ordered there ramen and Kakashi slowly put his mask back on. What the hell! How the hell does he eat so fast!
"Whatever," Kai mumbled. He turned his head back to his food and began to think. I don't understand. In the last three weeks, Rin, Takeshi, and I haven't even activated Omnigan even once. If we can only activate it when we're about to die, then how the hell are we gonna tap into its true potential. We've only seen the Sharingan. ... Damn it!
Takeshi looked up from his Ramen and saw Kai. He immediately knew what Kai was thinking about. He put a hand on his brother's shoulder and said, "Yo ... at least we can still sort of have the bloodlines without Omnigan active." He smiled.
Rin joined in. "Yeah, Kai. Even without the Omnigan, we still have traces of the Sharingan. Plus, the Omnigan doesn't necessarily have to be active to acquire the Kekkei Genkai." Kai smiled at his siblings.
Kai said, "Yeah-"
"GET OUT OF THE WAY, DOBE!" a voice yelled just before it collided into Takeshi and sent him flying headfirst into a barrel of steaming hot ramen.
"EEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Takeshi yelled as he jumped up and down fanning his face. Rin formed a couple of seals and muttered, "Water Surge Jutsu!" A stream of water jetted from Sakura's outstetched hands and Takeshi jumped into it and immediately jumped out yelling:
"COLD!" Rin sighed. He's hopeless. Kakashi tried to keep a clean face, but he broke a smile. He decided to let his pupils handle this and he turned around to order some more ramen.
Kai turned to look at the ninja who had pushed Takeshi over. He glared as he asked, "Who are you to push my brother around?" The figure stopped eating and began to turn around.
"You don't even recognize me, Number One Rookie?" the shadow turned. Rin gasped, "I would've thought that you'd remember your greatest competitor."
"What the hell are you doing here?" Kai asked, " Taji."
Taji sneered, and he turned around and said, "Asuka, Takenishi ... get over here. Look who I found."
Asuke and Takenishi slowly stepped in and noticed their rivals. Upon hearing Takenishi's name, Takeshi jumped up and yelled, "TAKENISHI! BUDDY!" He walked over. "How's it been?"
Takenishi simply said, "Fine." Takeshi wasn't convinced.
"Are you sure?" he asked. "You seem kind of dazed."
"I want to fight you," Takenishi randomly said.
"Huh?" Takeshi said. "That was random ... but ... HELL YEAH! Where do you want to fight?" Taji almost dropped his Ramen when he heard Takeshi's reply.
"WHAT!" Taji began to laugh. "You think you can beat Takenishi!" He was hysterical.
Asuka politely smiled. "Hi Rin. But Taji has a point there. Takenishi has become the strongest genin that we know." She paused as she received glares from Takeshi and Kai.
"We don't know about you guys," she added. "That's why we're here. We want to have a miniature tournament between Takenishi, Takeshi, Kai, and Taji. Taji's also improved beyond words. He's even invented two of his own jutsu!"
Takeshi jumped up. "I want to face you, Taji. This dead-last is gonna give you the biggest ass-whopin you've ever received in your life." Taji stood up.
"Want to back up your words, dobe?" Taji was in Takeshi's face now.
"Yeah," Takeshi retorted. "Step outside?"
"NO!" Takenishi yelled. "We will only fight them at the tournament. You know the rules."
Taji reluctantly bowed down. "You'll see, Takeshi." He turned to Takenishi. "And you, too. When I beat you ..."
Takenishi looked at Taji. "You'll be listening to me!" Taji finished and he poofed away.
"Ignore him," Asuka said. "He's just super annoyed that he's not the best. He used to be number two ... but now ... he's sunk to number three."
Takeshi took his time and jumped in yelling, "HEY! I AM SO BETTER THEN HIM!"
Asuka and Rin laughed. Asuka turned to Takeshi and said, "Well ... if that's how you want it ... we'll make it a round robin. You can face two opponents. You can pick."
"I'll face Taji and Takenishi," Kai spoke up. Takeshi glared at him knowing full well why.
"Come on Kai! I want to face you. It's been forever since we last faced eac other." He turned to Rin and Asuka. "I want to face Kai and Taji!" Takeshi said the next part a little calmer. "Then I can show to everyone that I'm not the dead last ninja everyone once knew a long time ago."
"Takeshi," Rin said, "Just face Takenishi as well. That way we can have a clean draw. How about nobody faces anyone from the same tea?"
"Fine," Takeshi and Kai agreed.
An hour later at the park, all of the Rookie Thirteen had gathered to watch the fights between possibly the three greatest genin of their class ... and the dead last.
The crowd was constantly muttering things, and a couple of people were taking bets. Everyone was completely surprised when the Jounin Instructors, Kakashi and Genma had agreed to the tournament.
Most people were betting that Takenishi would win the tournament. Some were betting on Kai or Taji. Poor Takeshi couldn't take the fact that no one was betting on him. The odds placed on him were 1 to 200.
Takeshi jumped up to the guy taking bets. "Fine. I'll bet 200 yen that I'm gonna win. I'll be way rich after this." Genma and Kakashi just chuckled and they went back to talking about drills to make their pupils go through once this was over with.
Takeshi got his slip and sat down, when Rin and Asuka went up to the "stage", which was nothing more then a five by five by three wooden box. "Genin of the Rookie Thirteen! The tournament is about to begin!" The crowd went wild.
Asuka continued, "The first matches will be between Takeshi and Taji, and Kai and Takenishi!"
Takeshi stepped up to the "ring" which was nothing but concrete. "I'll be first!"
Taji huffed and glared, "If your so eager to lose, just forfeit."
Takeshi just glared at Taji. Wait until the match starts ... wait until the match starts ... wait until the match starts ... The bell rang.
"AAAARGHHH!" Takeshi jumped at Taji, while Taji just sneered and stepped to the side.
"You are still the weakling that I remembered, dobe." Taji taunted.
"SHUT ... UP!" Takeshi yelled, and he formed a seal. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Thirty clones appeared and formed a ring around Taji. "Your gonna lose this battle. You can't keep up with this." He raised his hand and yelled, "FORMATION ONE! POWER STRIKE!"
His clones linked hands with another clone and they all charged forward gathering chakra in between their hands. Kakashi gasped. "NOT GOOD!" Kakashi yelled, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! DON' USE THE RANSENGAN!"
Taji gasped, "RASENGAN?"
"Believe it!" Takeshi charged. "Hurricane Force!" All of his clones stopped charging and released the Rasengan yards away from Taji. Kakashi stopped, confused.
The released energy created a tornado inbetween the clones and Taji received the full blow of the tornado. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!" Taji yelled as loud as he could. As the twister broke apart. Takeshi found that Taji was on the ground. Unconscious ... and ... didn't have a scratch on him!
Takeshi yelled, " I WIN!"
