Chapter 2: I Hate Hyuuga
Today I was beaten. There I said it, I cannot believe it, I have never so thoroughly been bested in my life. I lie here in the medical center of Orochimaru's base, its not even my
third week here and I'm already hurt badly. I have not a scratch on my skin…but thanks to Hideki my internal organs are very badly damaged. This vaguely reminded me of the
time I fought Rock Lee. I shudder to recall what happened during that fight, as with this fight. I had no idea it was coming, my sharingan usually gives me the edge in combat,
usually it is my secret weapon….not so this time. I had never heard of the powers of the Hyuuga clan….nor their Byakugan. Yet he had seemed to know exactly what the
Sharingan could and couldn't do…it was as if he had no fear of me…and that is what I do not understand…how can someone not fear of losing what they have? How can he
possibly not be afraid of death or of losing that which he holds dear? Bah, such thoughts I will leave to the philosophers and the psychologists. I do not care about his psyche,
but only in as much as I will not lose to him next time. Next time I will know what he can do. I will write down what happened just for my analysis later, If I do not balk at
remembering this…it is a VERY big slice of humble pie for me to eat. Perhaps Orochimaru was counting on this….but I now hate him…and I will see him destroyed.
It began a little after lunch, Hideki was eating alone as usual and he was practicing his very unusual form of martial arts called Gentle Fist, I thought it was stupid until I
experienced it, now I see I was thinking that it could not possibly ever do any damage to anyone physically…..but I see not that is not its aim…its aim is to disrupt the internal
organs and chakra flow. It's ingenious, you cannot toughen your internal organs so no matter how strong you are physically….his attacks still do damage. I respect this strategy,
it shows a lot of wisdom and intelligence in its user. Regardless, it was after the period of meditation that is allowed after lunch. Up until then I had sensed a lack of respect for
me, and I cannot stand it when people do not respect me when I deserve respect. While others had sucked up to me and trained against me, he refused to acknowledge my
presence. That pissed me off, so during the dueling period, I watched the crowd as the instructor stepped into the stone circle on the floor and said as usually "challenges will
now be taken". I foolishly stepped out dressed in my usual shorts with my high collared blue shirt into the stone ring "I challenge Hideki" I said in my usual proud demeanor. I
couldn't see him, but I could see the students parting before him, his chilling calm pure white eyes staring straight ahead. "I accept your challenge Uchiha Sasuke" He said. We
stared down but I got tired of that and I activated my Sharingan, the chakra turning my iris' red and the familiar black comma's appearing in them. I could see it, what he could
do, and his strength. I was ready for my specialty…copying techniques, I was ready for whatever techniques this "Hideki" had. But then, he didn't seem phased at all by my
Sharingan and his chakra flared up, and he closed his eyes. He reopened them as veins bulged around his eyes and blood shot lines appeared in his eyes with a sickening sound.
Hideki waited, he waited and waited…until I attacked. I charged forward and threw a punch, only it was as if he had seen it coming and he pushed it casually aside and landed a
palm right on my chest. I felt a sharp crush on my solar plexus and I winced. He circled around me with a wide sweep of his feet and stood facing me taunting me. I grimaced
and made hand signs Tiger, horse, dragon, crane "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu" (A/N: Fire Release: Grand Fireball) I would have said it if all my chakra from my hands hadn't
drained out as I felt the stabbing pain again. I looked around and I saw Hideki hitting me with his fingers once more, it appeared to be blocking chakra from flowing. I cursed
and tried to evade jumping back panicking slightly. I steadied myself and thought no fooling around now…this is it….time to go all out…chidori time…I made the hand signs
moving as I did to evade his soft palm attacks tiger, horse, dragon, crane, monkey I felt the familiar buzzing of the blue lightning ball in my hand "CHIDORI!" I yelled as I
charged Hideki from behind. Hideki smirked and said something that still bewilders me "You fool…you're within my range…" he assumed a peculiar stance as I neared him
holding out my chidori to spear him when I heard him say "Hakke Rokujūyon Shō" (A/N: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms) Then I saw him appear suddenly right next to me,
his fingers striking me twice in the chest "two strikes! Four strikes! Eight strikes! Sixteen strikes! Thirty two strikes! Sixty four strikes!" he counted as I became awash in pain
and very aware of the chidori fading in my hand from lack of chakra to sustain it. Then he hit me in the jaw launching me upward and back onto the cold stone floor. I twitched
involuntarily and sat up, I couldn't feel any chakra moving through my system, I couldn't use any techniques, and to my horror my sharingan disappeared from lack of chakra. I
couldn't believe it, I was numb. So I stood up slowly and he relaxed, as if he knew the fight was over. I growled and launched myself at him, unable to accept defeat when
suddenly he hit me from behind and kicked me up into the air "Hakke Rokujūyon Shō" (A/N: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms) he said once more and I felt the stabbing pains
once more, but not on the tenketsu's like before…but on my stomach, kidneys and heart…he targeted my internal organs. I coughed up blood as I sailed back down through
the air and hit the ground hard. I lay there motionless, I knew it was over. I still can't believe it…I still can't accept it….but I…Uchiha Sasuke…need to train.
I will beat him, I will destroy him….I will not lose to him ever again.
