Naruto: Kimza Chronicles:
Chapter 9: Adversary Turned Ally:
Saphiro, Kaede, and Tagaranon were at the Vortex Jutsu for 2 hours straight. Saphiro was getting a hang of the mechanics of the Jutsu; and he could create a perfect Vortex almost every try.
"Alrighty," Saphiro laughed in triumph, "Now that we have the Jutsu down, we can see how to use it."
"Yeah," Kaede included, "How is a Jutsu useful if you don't know how to use it?"
"Okay," Tagaranon said, "Now Saphiro, you need to learn how to use the vortex. If you can use the vortex right, you'll be able to use it to your advantage."
Saphiro nodded his head, "Right!" he said, "I'll try to use the Absorbing Vortex." He made 7 hand signs and open his right palm, "Ninja Art: Vortex Jutsu!" he yelled, throwing his hand forward. A chakra ball appeared and exploded into a vortex. This time, the vortex started sucking things up like a vacuum cleaner! It also started starting sucking up Kaede and Tagaranon.
"Saphiro!" Tagaranon yelled, "Make the vortex stop! If this keeps up, Kurenai's house will be a scrap heap!"
"Okay then," Saphiro said anxiously. He made a hand sign known only to Kimza Clan, "STOP!" he yelled. As soon as that, the vortex collapsed into itself and disappeared.
Tagaranon's long, white hair was flying all over the place. Kaede's long brown hair was doing the same. Saphiro's short, brownish-blonde hair wasn't that messed up that much. In fact, during the time, Saphiro wasn't being sucked up, despite being the closest to the vortex.
"Okay," Tagaranon sighed, "You need to learn how the control the vortex's intensity during its absorption mode. I think we need to train some more."
"Let's do it," agreed Saphiro.
"Same here," Kaede gasped.
Meanwhile, at the Nekiogama estate, Genzo and Art were training for the fight against Saphiro. They weren't training because they thought Saphiro was going to be a challenge. They were training because they thought it would be more fun to face Saphiro with their best techniques.
"Kimmy is so going down," Art laughed, "Facing one of us is bad enough. But both of us? He's got a head full of air."
"You're not joking, Art," Genzo snickered, "Kimza needs to know his place in this village. And we're going to put him in it." He picked up a sandbag and threw it in the air. As soon as it came down, it was instantly destroyed by his Metal Fist Jutsu.
"Not that I care," said Rosetta, eating a chocolate bar, "But don't you think you're going a little hard on Kimza? Both of you don't need to fight him at the same time. He may be a loser, but he needs a break."
Genzo turned around to Rosetta, "You're saying that we should go easy on Kimza?" he asked, "Is that it, Rosetta? If you want you can join Kimza, Meitochi, and their loser sensei." He turned back around to train.
Art looked at Genzo. For some reason, he agreed with Rosetta. He knew that a 2-on-1 fight would be unfair, but there was another reason. He should've been on Saphiro and Kaede's side during the quarrel 5 days earlier. He had to stop the madness. He walked to Genzo and stood there.
Genzo turned around and stared at Art, "What is it, Art?" he asked, "Can't you see that I'm training?"
"Listen Genzo," Art sighed, "I know that Kimmy should pay for his actions, but I can't see why both of us should fight him. He's part of my team. Even though he's a loser, we just need one person to fight him. You should fight him. I'm not doing it."
Genzo stared at Art in confusion, "What!" he shouted surprised, "You're dropping out of the fight? But you never did that before!" He looked up and smiled, "You're getting soft on me," he snickered, "You're taking Kimza's side, aren't you?"
"Well," Art moaned, "he is myteammate after all. If Kimmy wanted to fight Oro, but Oro was your enemy, you'd help him right?"
Genzo thought about it for a moment. He finally looked at Art and shook his head, "No," he said, "If Oro was going to get his ass kicked by someone, that'll be his fault."
Art stared at Genzo and growled. He took a deep breath and continued his persuasion, "Okay," he said, "But what if Oro was attacked during a mission? Would you help him then?"
Genzo thought about that situation, "Is he still my enemy?" he asked.
"Yes," Art groaned, "He is your enemy."
"Then no."
Art stared at Genzo in anger. He saw Genzo through new eyes. He finally figured out why Saphiro despised him. He knew how other felt towards him. They didn't like him. They were fearful of his power. There was only one thing Art could do. He cocked his fist back and gave Genzo a powerful punch that sent him into a wall.
Genzo got up and glared at Art, "What was that for!?" he asked angrily.
"That was for Saphiro," Art growled, "And this one is for Kaede!" He gave Genzo another punch. Genzo slid across the floor and stood up. He glared at Art in anger. But also in fear.
"So," Genzo laughed, "You're going to take me on? You're super foolish. I am the strongest Genin in the village. You'll be sorry if you continue this crap."
"I'm sorry I met you!" Art yelled, rushing towards Genzo. He jumped into the air, made 10 hand signs and shouted, "Uzuba Style: Crystal Storm Jutsu!"
What is he doing? Genzo thought.
Shards of crystal formed Art; and at the flick of his arms were flying towards Genzo at a high speed. The shards were sharp enough to cut through metal. There was no way he could dodge the shards.
It's over! Genzo yelled internally.
"Ninja Art: Vine Shield!" Rosetta yelled while making hand signs. She created a giant vine that took the impact of the crystal shards. She stared at Art and growled, "Why'd you do that!?" she snapped.
Art didn't say anything. He just turned around and left without saying anything. Genzo and Rosetta were left stunned.
You're going to get yours, Genzo thought, You and Kimza are as good as dead.
Meanwhile, Kaede and Tagaranon were still trying to help Saphiro master the Vortex Jutsu. Saphiro was learning slowly, but learning.
"I think I got it," Saphiro said in an unsure manner. He made 7 hand signs and looked up, "Here goes!" he shouted, "Ninja Art: Vortex Jutsu!" He created a vortex looking down from the air. It started sucking air up wildly. It soon got more out of control.
"Now Saphiro!" Tagaranon yelled, "You got to use your chakra to control the vortex! Don't push it though. The vortex's intensity could get wilder!"
I can do this, Saphiro though, I got to. It's the only way I will be able to defeat Genzo and Art! He did a Kimza hand signal and closed his palm partially. The vortex's wild sucking stopped. It soon only absorbed air in a mild manner. Saphiro smiled and jumped into the air in triumph.
He did it, Tagaranon thought, Saphiro calmed down the vortex. He's a fast learner. He can make the vortex gain or lose its intensity. 2 hours ago, he could even create one vortex! I'm glad he's my student. He'll be a great shinobi.
Art finally made it to Kurenai's house. He stared at the door for a while. He knew he wouldn't be welcomed by Saphiro. After what he done, he would deserve it. He swallowed his fright and knocked on the door.
"Lot's of people are coming to my house today," Kurenai said she walked to the door. She opened it to see Art standing on the porch. He frowned at him, "Why are you here, Art?" she asked.
"I came to see Saphiro," said Art, "Is he here?"
"He's here. But I'm sure he doesn't want to see you. Goodbye." Kurenai started to close the door when Art put his foot in the doorway.
"I gotta speak to him!" he exclaimed, "I gotta say I'm…I'm…sorry." He looked down in a sad mood.
Kurenai's frowned changed into a concerned look, "You look like you're telling the truth. Okay, I'll let you in. But no fighting my son. Understood?"
"Understood," Art said. He walked to the backyard to see that Saphiro, Kaede, and Tagaranon were preparing for the battle to come. He sighed in sadness.
Saphiro happened to see Art and looked in that direction, "What do you want?" he asked, "If you wanna fight, come back tomorrow. I'm busy training."
"That's the thing," Art said with a hint of guilt in his voice, "I don't wanna fight you. You, Kaede, and Tagaranon-sensei are part of Team 22. So am I. We shouldn't be at each other's throats. I'm turning over a new leaf. I want to be your friend Kimmy."
Saphiro stared at Art skeptically. He thought that Art was trying to trick him so that he and Genzo could ambush him, "I don't believe you," he said, "And stop calling me Kimmy."
"I'm telling the truth!" Art shouted, "I quit Genzo's clique. I want to your friend. I finally saw why you hate Genzo. And if you want to, I'll fight him instead."
"I believe he's telling the truth," said Kaede.
"So do I," Tagaranon included.
"What!?" shouted Saphiro, "What if we don't know he's lying!? Kaede and I could be attacked!" He looked up and smiled. He walked to Art and held out his hand.
"Huh?" Art asked confused.
"If you shake my hand," Saphiro explained, "I'll believe you're telling the truth. But you better be sincere when you're shaking. If you're lying, I'll make sure that Tagaranon makes sure you never are promoted to Chunin and above. So shake at your own risk."
Art didn't hesitate. He shook Saphiro's hand with full sincerity. He looked at Saphiro and smiled, "Thanks," Art beamed, "friend."
"No problem friend," Saphiro said, also smiling.
Kaede hugged both Saphiro and Art, "It's so nice to see that you two are friends again," she giggled.
"No that that situation is settled," Tagaranon laughed, "Can we get back to training Saphiro?"
"Yes sir Tagaranon-sensei," said Saphiro, "Come on Art! I have to show you a special Jutsu. It's going to knock Genzo out of his socks!"
"I'm cool with that!" Art shouted, going to train with his new friends. They trained all day. And when he went to sleep that night, Art was certain that Saphiro would be a match for Genzo.
The next day, almost everyone in Konoha came to see Round 2 of the Saphiro vs. Genzo fight. Everyone was psyched up for the match. Some people even made bets. This fight was going to be talked about for years to come. Once again, Saphiro and Genzo met at the academy's training grounds to see who would be victorious.
"Déjà vu, isn't it Kimza?" Genzo laughed.
"Yep," Saphiro snickered, "Only this time I'm going to win!"
"We'll see about that! This time, I'm going to make you pay for ever making Meitochi and Uzuba your friends!" Genzo cracked his knuckles and got into a fighting stance.
"Remember your training," Tagaranon yelled, "Your Jutsu is your key to victory!"
"Yeah!" Kaede included, "We believe in you. Don't give up!"
"Take him down a peg!" Art yelled, "And give him a stick for me!"
"Whatever Jutsu you have Kimza," Genzo sneered, "Isn't going to help you. You're a loser who's going to lose again!"
"Come on Genzo!" Saphiro yelled, "Less picking, more sticking!" He rushed to Genzo at his fastest.
"It's your defeat!" Genzo yelled, running to Saphiro.
Round 2 was getting underway. Saphiro was ready to fight Genzo. Would his Vortex Jutsu help him in this bout? Or was he destined to lose? Again.
Only time would tell….
