Chapter 5: Match! Akira vs Lee!
Akira enjoys his meal with his heart content, savouring the ramen with every slurp. As he finishes the ramen, he asks Mr. Teuchi to make him another bowl.
"Another bowl, Mr. Teuchi!" Akira shouts.
"Are you sure? You already ordered seven bowls." Mr. Teuchi hesitates. "It's gonna be expensive if you keep ordering." he said further.
"Money wouldn't be a problem." Akira said confidently. He takes out some money from his pocket, not less than ten thousand yen.
"Will dhis be enouff?" Akira asks with his mouth full. Everyone gasp with astonishment when they see the amount of money he got in his hand. Naruto stares at the blue hair boy while swallowing the noodles in his mouth.
"This guy must be rich!" Naruto thought out loud.
"Wow! That's a lot of money! Where did you get them?" Kiba asks, smirking.
"This is my pocket money for the week!" Akira said, pointing his finger up.
"More like shopping money..." Shino gave himself a thought. Hinata could just stare at the boy while she eats her meal.
Without hesitation, Mr. Teuchi adds more noodles in the pot to boil.
"Ayumi! Cut more vegetables and meat! We're gonna serve this lad bowls of ramen with his heart content!" Mr. Teuchi said loudly, feeling excited.
"No way!!" Naruto thought out loud, glaring at the boy. On his left are five empty ramen bowls, stained with some left over soup.

Gai and his students were walking through the market place, heading towards the ramen bar to have their lunch. Since it is a Sunday, the market place was busy. After a few minutes, they finally arrive at the bar. As Lee opens the door, he stopped in his tracks when he sees a person with blue hair eating a bowl of ramen.
"What's wrong, Lee?" Tenten asks, feeling confuse.
"It's that kid!" Lee said as points at Akira.
"So?" Tenten said.
"I'm going to ask him to have a match with me!" Lee said excitedly, tightening his fist.
With that, he walks into the bar with Tenten and Gai gradually followed him.
--
Slurping the last bit of the noodle, he puts down the empty bowl on top of the other. He then gave a loud burp, rubbing his stomach.
As he gets up, someone approaches him. He turns around and sees a boy with a green jumpsuit standing in front of him.
"Is your name Akira?" Lee asks.
"Yes, what can I do you for?" Akira said.
"I want to fight you!" Lee said. A smirk appears on his face.
Akira was silent for a few moments before he speaks again. "Bowl hair guy said what?".
Gai suddenly steps in and explains the situation to Akira.
"It seems my student wants to have a battle with you." Gai said calmly.
"I see. And he wants to battle me because?" Akira asks, rubbing his head.
"I heard that you fought a monster using martial arts. I learn taijutsu and Gai-sensei said your martial arts are stronger than my technique. So, I decided to have a battle with you to see who's better." Lee explained.
"Hmp, sounds exciting." Akira said calmly, smirking at Lee.
"So it's settled. We have our match at the forest clearing." Lee said as a decision.
--
The forest clearing was not that far. It is only a few meters away from the village. After a few minutes of walking, the group arrives at the clearing. Team 8, Gai and Naruto went to the nearby trees while Lee and Akira stand at the middle of the clearing, face to face.
Akira rubs his hair down his head and pose in his fighting stance.
Lee does the same, cracking his knuckles.
"I will show you the power of Youth!" He thought out loud.
--
" This battle is simple. All you have to do is defeat your opponent with your own techniques." Gai explained. "Begin!!"
--
And so the fight begins. The boys charge at each other. Lee makes the first move by attempting a punch on Akira's chest. However, Akira manages to block it with his hands. Lee makes another move by giving an Uppercut Punch but Akira manages to evade it and counters him with a powerful Thrust Punch.
The punch was strong enough to send Lee flying back. The impact created cracks on the ground.
Lee gets back up on his feet. "Man! This guy is tougher than I thought!". Lee charges towards Akira.
Akira prepares himself for another attack. However, instead of attacking him, Lee jumps and lands behind Akira. He then gives a swift kick on the hips, sending him flying back. Luckily, Akira quickly gets up and block Lee's punches just in time. He dodges the last punch and use a crouch kick on Lee's shin, stunning him.
Taking the opportunity, Akira use a triple-rapid combo side kick on Lee, with each kick becomes stronger. However, Lee manages to evade the third kick as he jumps backwards.
Smiling, Lee suddenly disappears.
"What the!?" Thought an astonished Akira, looking around his surroundings for any signs of his opponent.
--
Gai smiles as he chuckles. "Looks like Lee is going to win this fight!".
--
Without warning, Lee suddenly appears on Akira's right side and gives him an Uppercut Kick. While still in mid air, Lee continuously punch him followed by a side kick, knocking Akira to the ground. Akira quickly recovers and stands up.
"Heh, not bad." Akira commented, smirking.
Akira then charge towards his opponent. Lee charges at Akira as well.
Akira then gives an uppercut kick, followed by a few combos of punches while Lee is still in mid air. The last punch knocks Lee hard to the ground. As Lee slowly gets up, he prepares himself to attack. But, Akira was quick and makes the next move before he gets the chance.
"Time to make my move!" Akira thought out loud.
Akira comes with a low kick, tripping Lee. He then strikes Lee's chest with his elbow. He then spins and hit Lee with a Force Palm. The combo attack was fast and it took merely about two seconds to send Lee flying back, knocking him out completely.
"Now that's what I called Savage Fury!" Akira thought out loud.
--
They could not believe their eyes. Everyone look at Akira with astonishment. Gai on the other hand was shocked.
"Wow! This kid is strong! Stronger than Lee! Looks like I've understemated him..." Gai gave a thought, sweats formed on his forehead.
Without further a due, Gai declares the winner, "Akira wins!".
Hinata looks at the boy with a smile. "Congratulations Akira-kun!".
The boy looks at the girl who was congratulating him. He started to blush when he heard the word '-kun'.
"Umm, thanks...." Akira replies shyly, with his cheeks turning red.

Well, here's the 5th chapter, the fighting scene that I promise. I don't know but I think its a bit suckish. Could use a little improvement but I'm only gonna do that in December. Tell me what you guys think? By the way, I made up the moves although they were inspired from Tekken. Some I made up but I need better names from them.
This is the last chapter I'm going to write for this month and I won't be back till December. So, I hope you guys enjoyed it!
