"Chapter Four:
Ventess Battle"

"Here we are!" Alice said, after everyone climbing a large set of stairs.

"Aw, man, finally." Naruto said, exhausted.

They walked in with Alice, and stared at the main foyer; greens, whites, yellows, reds, oranges, blues, and browns were of the colors seen, but mainly green, and purple. There was a gong that was dark green, and had the two phoenixes flying in a circle. Above that was a banner with six symbols that were colored red, green, blue, purple, yellow, and brown (like on the bakugan cards).

"What do these symbols stand for, Alice?" Sakura asked.

"Six sacred attributes that was brought upon the world, which is what started tamashi tradition." Alice started. "Pyrus, Ventess, Aquas, Darkus, Haos, and Sub-terra. Fire, Wind, Water, Darkness, Light, and Earth." Alice finished.

"Interesting." Kakashi said.

"Does that mean Skyress and Galeress are Ventess?" Neji asked.

"Yes! The Kazami's were closest to the creatures of Ventess, otherwise, what most clans call "Bakugan." Skyress, and Galeress are the most powerful of all the Ventess bakugan." Alice explained.

"I see!" Kakashi said, placing hand on his chin.

"Alice, where can we find the chieftan of the clan?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know, but no doubt, everybody else does." She said, smiling. You could just feel the ackwardness.

Alice had lead them into, what appeared to be, the training grounds, as kids in reds, and oranges, wearing different colored belts left it. "Alice!" A voice called.

They turned to see a young man in a red training outfit (like 4 karate), in no shoes, and a brown belt around his waist, with brown hair, brown eyes, and light skin. "Hi, Dan!" The six looked at the both of them, confused. "Oh, sorry! This is Dan Kuso! He's been learning under Pyrus Tamashi,... another belt up, and he'll be ready to verse his sensei. He's also Shun's best friend!" Alice said, smiling.

"You know the cheiftan's son?" Kakashi asked.

"Since we were little, yeah!" Dan said.

"Why are you learning under Pyrus Tamashi?" Naruto asked.

"One, because of my personallity, and two, because my ancestors were befriended to the most powerful of pyrus bakugan; Ultimate Dragonoid. My training is crutial, so that way I can continue the line. To Tamashi-nin, their ancestor's legacies are important." Dan explained.

"I think I get it." Naruto said.

"He doesn't get it!" Sakura said, blankly.

"Dan! Do you know where Shun's grandfather is?" Alice asked, remembering why she brought them there.

"Shun (1) started the Fenitesu (2) Challenge..." Dan looked at a watch that was around his wrist. "FOUR HOURS AGO?! That's longer than last time!" Dan said.

"How long was last time?" Sasuke asked.

"Thirty minutes." Dan answered. "I'll show you what I mean."

They followed Dan to a stone slag in the wall. He drew the characters '開く' with a red light, made at the fingertips, then forced the drawn symbols into the slag. The characters appeared in light red, and the slag lowered beneath the ground. They walked into an arena.

A large crowd sat in bleachers, as they watched, chanting Sensei, as they did so. Fighting in the arena was an old man in green robes, and the other was a young man in a green ninja mask, black shirt, pants, and boots, with amber eyes, and black hair that went to his thighs, held back in a partial ponytail.

The man swirled his cane in the air, and swung. The man dogded, and punched, and sliced, the old man dodging all, and jumping up, coming down to pound. The young man did three large back flips.

"Who are they?" Jiraya asked.

"Man, you sure are slow!" Dan said, laughing, Jiraya giving him an annoyed glance.

"That's Shun, and his grandfather." Alice said.

The eight continued to watch, seeing Shun in mid-air, legs around his granfather's cane, and twirling himself, forcing the cane out of his hands. When he landed, he put his hands together, like bear claws, and hit his grandfather in the stomach, pushing him back, and onto the ground. The old man struggled to get up, but Shun had jumped up, and landed next to him; placinghis foot on the old, tired man's chest, forcing his back to the ground.

There came moments of stillness, and silence, everyone staring in suspense. Finally, the chieftan spoke. "My winds have faded, Shun, and yours are blowing, strongly. I'm proud to call you: "Kazami Finetsu-Sensei." He said.

The crowd gasped. Shun removed his foot, from the man's chest, and helped him up.

"Thank you, grandfather!" Shun said, bowing.
