Uber-quick update, hahahaha!
Yeah, sadly there hasn't been many reviews to date,(3) :(
But I will prevail! Seriously I don't really care, we all came here to write and this is just all in good fun and practise.
Who cares anyway, on with the story!
Disclaimer: Three chapters and I still don't own Naruto
Warning: No matter what it's still gonna be language
Jade... or is it Jasmine? P.O.V.
I mentally snickered, trolling Lily was so easy sometimes. Her face was a mixture between whhhaaaa?... and WTF?! Asuma just nodded at my seemingly innocent expression, "Interesting name," he rumbled. I shrugged noncommittally, I like the moon and I like dragons, sue me.
Asuma began striding along the corridors and I had to jog, lest I was dragged by arm. Would that look weird or disturbing? A man dragging two girls along the floor, acting like nothing was wrong.
Eh, these people had been through war. They've seen worse.
As we walked down several flights of stairs I saw Asuma was deep in thought. Well shit, he's probably going to interrogate us if his expression means anything. That's means he'll take me to I&T! AHHHHH! I'LL BE TORTURED BY IBIKI, THE SCARY, SCARFACE! Oh wait Anko will be there... I FLIPPN' LOVE ANKO!
Stumbling over the last step we made our way through the waiting room and past the front desk, Asuma nodding to the receptionist there. I bet my buttons that nurses and medics here are well acquainted with ninjas in general. What with all the explosive jutsu, explosive tags and explosive persons. Fucking suicidal enemies not wanting information to be tortured out of them, why can't they just sit down and take it like men huh? Jeez grow a pair ninjas.
Wow. That was really hypercritical of me, with the freaking out about seeing Ibiki before.
I was pulled out of my beautiful thoughts by blinded by the bloody hellfire we call the sun. "Holy mackeroli, my eyes!" I screamed and covered my eyes, who cares about other people's ears, my eyes were melting. (It was very obvious that we had just walked outside.) I uncovered my eyes when I felt a punch in the shoulder, "get over it dramaqueen," sneered Lily. I rubbed at my eyes before glaring at her around Asuma. "Wanna say that to my face sister dear," sarcasm dripped from my final words. She jabbed her face into my personal space, "bring it on trash!" Shit's goin' down!
Both Lily and I simultaneously let go of Asuma's hands and advanced towards each other. "Come at me bro!" I called out as we circled around each other, Lily smirked cockily at me, "gladly." Just as we leaped at each other I felt a hand grab my school blouse. I was jerked upwards and turned to stare eye to eye at a pair of droopy, black eyes.
"These girls are already troublesome and I've only met them for a couple of seconds." I was pulled back to see the face of Shikamaru, and damn was he dopey. I gave him thumbs up, "mad skills at picking me up so easily!" I was promptly dropped on the dusty ground. "Thank you... for your consideration." I heard a quiet laugh in response, "no problem." I hand was stuck into my face, I gladly took it and he pulled me up. Instantly I turned around and fell backwards so I was leaning on him. I dramatically put a hand to my head, "my prince has saved me! Thank you kind sir!" He laughed quietly again and stepped to the side, letting me fall to the ground once more.
My breath was pushed out as I thumped onto my back. "Shika I don't think you should treat our guests like that," another hand was held out and I grabbed it to be pulled up. "Thanks," I smiled at the cuddly face of Chouji, he beaming in response. I shook the hand I was still holding onto, "my name is MoonDragon Jasmine! What's yours?"
"Akimichi Chouji."
"That's a cool name!" I was damn proud of the blush I got from him, this cutie needed his self-esteem to be boosted.
"I'm still here you know!" I spun around trying to find Lily, where the hell was she? "Up here dumbass," I turned my head upwards to see her up in the air, being held there by...a.. giant fist? Oh right Akimichi bloodline trait.
"Yo! I'm SunWolf Lily. A pleasure to meet you, I would shake your hand, but... I'm currently being held captive by it." I couldn't help but snicker quietly dramatic introduction and trying to one-up my fabulous name. That's just so Lily.
Chouji blushed and slowly pulled his arm back to the ground. Letting go of Lily his hand slowly shrunk back to its normal size. "Holy flapjacks that was awesome!" I grabbed his hand again, pulling and tugging at it. "That was awesome, amazing ninja skills, but uhh... What was it?"
A hand clapped onto my back, "That was a kekkai genkai. A special trait passed through clans that only they can use. All Akimichi can enlarge every part of their body."
"Every part?" I asked innocently. Asuma nodded, "every part."
I raised my eyebrow slyly, "every, every part?"
"Yes Jasmine every, every par- OH MY G! WHAT THE HELL?! YOU'RE JUST A KID! STOP THINKING SUCH IMPURE THOUGHTS!"
I merely shrugged, "I bet you've thought about that before, ne?" He spluttered in response, ah embarrassing adults, the best pastime!
An arm slid across my shoulders, "Jasmine dear, don't embarrass our little adult here. He just doesn't want to admit he's had big, bad adult thoughts like that before." I smirked at my...sister, "what are you guys talking about?" Chouji looked confused and Shikamaru looked thoughtful, such innocents. "Well you know," I began slowly, "how you're-" "I don't think they need to hear this!" Asuma yelled hysterically and covered both Chouji and Shikamarus' ears. Chouji looked even more confused and Shikamaru looked like his brain was going to explode from thinking.
"Ugghhh it doesn't matter know, you'll know when you're older," Asuma rubbed at his temples tiredly. Lily nodded knowingly, "good save with the 'wait till you're older' thing." I couldn't help but agree, my parents had stopped from asking awkward things for years with that statement. I still didn't understand a lot of things about the hows and whys of...ya know.
Asuma sighed, "why do you guys have to be so..." "troublesome," Shikamaru helpfully added. "Yeah that." Asuma began to usher us down the street, "where are we going sensei?" Asked Chouji in between bites of chips. Where the hell did he get them from? They totally just appeared from nowhere!
"We are going to our barbeque place so we can sit down, relax and get to know each other better." I began to drool about barbeque, I have a soft spot for Asian barbeque pork so hopefully this will be good!
We wandered through another long, dirt road. We passed stalls calling out ninja tools, squid on a stick, katon-proof clothes and everything in between. I got dizzy from trying to take it all in. Everything here was fresher, brighter and more intense. I gazed at the rooftops as blurs of grey and black flashed past. ANBU and jounin roof hopping, it was amazing to behold. The anime never truly showed the amazing speeds they went at, or the grace in which they landed and sprung off rooftops.
Lily pulling at my hand snapped back to the present, gazing into her face I saw the same wonder that was mirrored in mine. It was real. Everything was real, it was surreal. I was currently walking through the streets of Konoha, guided by the Sarutobi, Akimichi and Nara clan heirs, also being asked if I wanted a pack of kunai for a cheap price.
"Asumaaaa?"
"No."
"You don't even know what I'm about to ask!"
"Oh I know! No kunai for you!"
"But-"
"No buts."
"Hehe you said butt."
"Kami Jasmine you're so immature!"
"What do you expect? I'm a twelve year old girl with no ninja training that I can recall! Of course I'm going to be bloody immature."
Shikamaru looked at me curiously, "how can you not recall your ninja training? I can sense your chakra and they're fairly developed, that only comes with ninja training." I couldn't help but blink at that. My world did not have any chakra coils or chakra for that matter. It was not humanely possible for someone to suddenly develop a whole new power system, a fairly developed one at that. It was like not having an immune system all your life and then BAM! You're suddenly immune to all diseases and what not. Stuff like doesn't happen, at least not in my world. Here in the Elemental Nations physics and laws don't matter anymore, gravity, force, none of that matters because you have chakra. It was surreal, an energy source strong enough to defy the force of gravity, long enough to do an awesomely, overpowered jump.
I had apparently joined Narutoverse in defying all rational thought. I had chakra.
I smiled nervously at Shikamaru, "uh, I have selected memory loss. I can only remember the basics of my life and of ninja training. I think?" I fiddled with my fingers, "both Lily and I don't remember anything of our family, just our names and the usual introduction stuff." At Shikamaru's confused look I tried to explain, "you know when you first meet someone and they want to know you better? You shake their hand," I grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously. "Then you say some stuff about yourself like, um... My name is MoonDragon Jasmine. I am twelve turning thirteen in August, three months from now, and I like a few things. I like chocolate, sports, the outdoors and Lily." I beamed at said girl, "your turn Lily!" She sighed but complied anyway, "my name is SunWolf Lily. I am the exact same age as Jasmine, but I'm older." She shot me a sly look, bitch, I am really older than you. "I don't like much, Jasmine, spicy foods and fighting." Asuma, Chouji and Shikamaru looked at her quizzically for the last statement but all they got was a shrug. Lily wouldn't share much. But she'll make sure people know not to mess with her. Call it a defence against... people in general.
"Asuma-sensei hurry up!" Chouji tugged on his arm, "I WANT BARBEQUE NOW!" He clenched his fist and I swear to Jashin his eyes were on fire. "Dude you should get the flaming eyeball thing checked out," Lily said. Chouji stared at her, "what? I'm just saying! It is totally unnatural." At his blank look she sighed, "let's just get to the barbeque place already.
We continued to walk down the never-ending streets of Konoha, I never realised just how big Konoha was. As we passed a few food booths a call came from behind the flaps, "OI! SHIKAMARU, CHOUJI!" Our procession stopped and turned to face the voice. A familiar blonde's head was stuck out from underneath the white flaps of the stand, Ichiraku was written in red katakana across each flap. Oh my GODS! IT'S ICHIRAKU RAMEN! Oh and Naruto... OH MY GODS IT'S NARUTO!
While I was in my daydream Asuma, Chouji and Shikamaru had already wandered up and had begun to talk to the knuckleheaded ninja. Lily grabbed my hand in a death grip, "what do we do?" She whispered hysterically. "What do you mean, what do we do?" I was confused, sure it's my most worshipped character, but we could keep it together. Right?
"Girls get over here and introduce yourselves!" Asuma called us over, slowly we shuffled our way over to them. We ducked under the flaps and squeezed ourselves into the already crowded space. Asuma was leaning against the wall while Chouji and Shikamaru sat on the stools alongside Team 7.
I felt myself freeze up at their curious gazes. Sasuke's onyx eyes bored into mine, I couldn't look anywhere else but at him. They were so cold and deep. They were seemingly blank, but I could see some emotions stirring in them, was that curiosity? Hah! Sasuke's curious about a girl, a civilian girl, AWESOME!
"Hn, weak civilian."
I instantly felt anger ignite inside of me, I struggled to control my usual temper. I clenched my fists tightly, I hate it when people underestimate me. It makes me feel so weak!
I saw him smirk smugly at me, "can't take it little girl." The smirk was wiped off instantly when my right hook connected with his face, throwing him out onto the street.
"SAUSKE-KUN!" shrieked a banshee in my ear, Haruno Sakura. She turned on me, "HOW DARE YOU HURT SASUKE-KUN LIKE THAT! TAKE THIS!" She threw a punch at my face, but her fist was caught by Lily. "uh, uh, uh," Lily wagged her finger in her face, "you don't hit girls she-male." She shoved the slightly overbalanced girl away from her. Sakura stumbled back and fell onto her ass on the street, right next to Sasuke. Lily and I ducked under the tent, "I believe it's time to make acquaintance," Lily smirked. "I'm SunWolf Lily," she thumbed at me, "and this here is my twin MoonDragon Jasmine. We're new around here and we just want you to know that we don't like arrogant jerks like you," she pointed at the now upright Sasuke. "Or a shrieking banshee like you," she swivelled to the pinkette still lying on the ground.
"Hn, what are you doing thinking a nobody like you could defeat an elite, Uchiha like me." Wow Sasuke is a real asshat, no wonder why he doesn't have many friends. "One," I started, "I don't know what an Uchiha is so it doesn't really matter what the fuck you are. Two even if we couldn't defeat you, we'll go down trying!"
He had the indecency to snort at me, "Uchiha is the most elite clan of Konoha, I am the last survivor so therefore I am an elite." Lily laughed harshly, "if you're the last of your clan. Your clan must've sucked to get killed off so easily!"
"Ohhhh snap," Chouji whispered from behind me. I turned to see Team 10 alongside Naruto and Kakashi watching our meeting with interest. I caught Kakashi's eye and shuddered at the searching look he gave me, he looked over me like I was an interesting, potential enemy he had just found. Naruto kept looking between Lily and I and Sasuke worriedly. Asuma just looked exasperated.
"You'll pay for that!" Sasuke ran towards us doing handseals, I tried my best to see what handseals he was doing. It was ridiculous the speed he was moving his hands. Snake, tiger, monkey, boar, horse, tiger. Shit! I pushed Lily out of the way as a giant fireball rushed past us. "Katon! Gokakyu no jutsu!"
"Are trying to fucking kill us!" I shrieked as I pushed myself upright. Smoke covered the streets and civilians had run away from the explosion of fire, perfect. I sprinted around the side of the smoke, heading towards Sasuke was. At the last second I held my breath and jumped through the smoke. I was hoping Sasuke would not expect a civilian to do something as daring as this. Pushing my fist out in front I caught I glimpse of Sasuke's eyes wide in shock at my dramatic entrance through the smoke. The world suddenly tilted as my arm was grabbed and I was flipped over his shoulder. Curling up into a ball I turned my fall into a some-what graceful roll. Popping up I instantly spun into a reverse-roundhouse kick aiming at Sasuke's head. Hands grabbed my ankle and calf, he pulled me up and threw me down at the ground. I slammed hard onto my hands and spun, ripping my legs from his grip and kicking him in the chest. As he stumbled back I crouched and felt hands lightly tap onto my back. Lily vaulted off my back and flipped, executing a perfect axe kick that cracked the ground slightly. I warily stood upright and drifted back to back with Lily.
We had always worked better together, tag-teaming just came naturally to the both of us. I kept the opponent(s) busy, I was fast and light on my feet. Even if my attacks didn't hit I would wear the opponent down, meanwhile I would feel fine because of my insane stamina levels. After using a move that unbalances them, Lily catches them unaware with an immensely strong attack that I had positioned. I was the first wave, a wind that whips around you and catches you unaware. Lily came second, a strong fire that when it lands, burns and eats anything in its' path.
Panting slightly I kept my eyes peeled for the black blur that was Sasuke. My heart was pounding and the adrenaline kept me hyperaware of everything. In fact, it felt like the adrenaline was really warm and it was spreading into the air. I felt a somewhat warmth behind me where Lily was, I also felt a larger mass of it where Team 10 and part of 7 was. Taking a calming breath I turned to a strong source of it, it was creeping along the rooftops. Suddenly it flared and sped towards me, "D and R!" I yelled and rolled sideways to dodge the black mass that blurred past. I stumbled upright and locked eyes with the crouching Lily, she nodded slightly and we turned to face Sasuke. He held a kunai tightly in one hand while the other curled up slightly, "come," he smirked. "U and A, H and E," Lily called to me as we ran towards him.
Both Lily and I had made up our own tag-team moves after seeing several fighting movies and animes. Both her and I decided it would be stupid to yell out what we were going to do, the enemy would easily tell what we were going to do. So after reading the series of Maximum Ride we decided we like their method of shortening actions to single letters. D and R was one of our simplest, just meaning Duck and Roll. U and A meant Up and Away, which we normally did for escapes or retreats, but with the added H and E it became one of our best attack moves.
After watching a Fairy Tail episode where there was a tag-team battle of brothers, we wondered if we could do their attack, but simpler. It took months of practise and nearly breaking bones, but it became one of our best executed moves.
Running towards Sasuke Lily cupped her hands together tightly. A few meters away I jumped into her hands and she pushed me upwards. Twirling in the air I dropped down into an axe kick, "look to the heavens!" Sasuke blocked my kick with his forearms, but was hit by an open palm strike to the chest by Lily. "And you'll be crushed by earth!" I bounced off Lily's palms again as she ran forward. She dropped low into a leg sweep, "look to the earth!" Sasuke leaped over her leg with ease, but looked up when I yelled, "you'll get speared by heaven!" My feet slammed into his head and he was ploughed into the ground.
I leapt of him and stood next to Lily, "secret technique: Heaven and Earth Extinct Slaying Attack!" We high-fived and grinned wickedly, that's how it's done! The clatter of rocks made us turn back to Sasuke, he picked himself out of the small crater I had made. He looked mad and his eyes were a blood red colour, well shit he brought out the sharingan.
He pulled two kunai out of his pouch and took a fighting stance, quickly Lily and I dropped low into the Koshi Dachi stance (Squat stance). Sasuke flung a kunai at each of us, caught off guard by the speed, I couldn't do anything but stare at the kunai as it went straight for my head. Suddenly a hand was gripping both kunai and another holding Sasuke who was already charging at us for another taijutsu bout.
"Maa maa Sasuke, we don't want to kill our guests just after we have met them." I let out a shaky breath as Kakashi dragged Sasuke back over to where the others were standing. He dropped him on the ground and ignored the brooding Uchiha, in favor to stare at Lily and I. "That was a certainty interesting battle to watch, hmm?" I blushed lightly and heard Lily chuckle nervously.
"INTERESTING?! KAKASHI-SENSEI THAT WAS AWESOME!" Naruto was suddenly in my face and jumping around excitedly, "that was so cool! Are you guys ninjas?! You gotta be! I never saw those moves before or that cool move you used to wipe the floor with the teme! What was it? Nani ni? Nani ni?" Lily pushed him away from her face, "down boy, down."
Ignoring that statement Naruto looked at me with starry eyes, I flinched slightly, they were so cute! Must resist adorableness. "I would like to know how you did that as well," Kakashi had his nose in his book, but his eye was staring at me. "I know you guys aren't ninjas from here and from what Asuma said you don't have memories of any ninja training."
Lily chuckled nervously again, "yeah memory loss, but it seems that muscle memory can't be erased." "What style was that? I've never seen it before, is it a clan technique?" Asuma looked at Lily expectantly, "uh, it's a bit of Muay Thai and Karate, I don't really know if it's clan technique." Lily shuffled her feet and looked at me with pleading eyes. I can't do anything to help you! I'm still caught up on how we just fought Sasuke and we managed to hit him. Granted he was severely underestimating us and he didn't have his Sharingan on, but still...
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, future Hokage dattebayo! You're Jasmine and Lily right?" Naruto was smiling brightly at me with his arms behind his head, awwwwww. I nodded at him and turned to Kakashi, "you are?..." He flipped another page of his smut, "Hatake Kakashi." I then looked at the pinkette that was fussing over the brooding Uchiha, "who are you?" She looked at me and huffed slightly, "Haruno Sakura and how dare you do that to my Sasuke-kun!" I shrugged, "it was a friendly spar, sort of."
Lily nudged Sasuke with her foot, "Uchiha Sasuke no?" He glared at her, but she just smiled slightly, "it's a pleasure to meet you Sasugay!" Instantly I cracked up laughing and I heard Naruto and Chouji join in after, Shikamaru just sighed. Just as Sakura was going to explode, Asuma intervened, "calm down you lot. Lily, don't antagonize people and was that punch really necessary Jasmine?" I nodded, "I hate people with poles up their ass and an ego the size of the moon. He pissed me off first." Sasuke glared at me even harder, I felt chills go up my back, creepy.
"Anyway I have decided something girls," Lily and I begun to pay attention to Asuma's words, he sounded serious. "I've decided that you guys are good enough to have a sensei teach you guys the basics of chakra and the how-to-knows of being a ninja." I stared uncomprehending at him, he smiled at us,
"congrats girls. You are now kunochi in training."
Done!
Yeah that was a certainly different. There are reasons behind a lot of the stuff in this chapter.
Why did Lily and Jasmine get hits onto Sasuke, blah, blah, blah?
We all know Sasuke is arrogant and if a pair of girls with no apparent ninja training were going to face him, he would be extremely overconfident. He also used the grand fireball technique because the curse mark is on him and it makes him angry faster. Getting punched by a girl is a sure as way to get him pissed off.
Why did Asuma suddenly say that the girls could be kunochi?
Konoha had the war and then they had the Kyuubi attack. I think they're pretty desperate for capable ninjas. Lily and Jasmine have been doing both Muay Thai and Karate for over 6 years. They do contact Karate, not the one where you just learn defense. The girls look capable in taijutsu and their chakra levels seem decent, why wouldn't they be ninjas?
Hope that answers some stuff and whatnot.
So bye bye!
