Chapter 9: The meeting
A/N: Nothing special just a bunch of training exercises.
~Shadow~
The three shinobi walked over to the spot where they were supposed to meet their sensei: Kakashi. When they arrive at the designated spot (Battle ground 7) and he is of course, not there. Inwardly groaning he, Fu, and Sasuke waited for their teacher to show up; why is Kakashi always so goddamn late! About an hour and a half later Kakashi showed up. Though none of the three (A/N: Kakashi, Fuu and Shadow) showed no signs of their previous encounters.
"So you're my new students."
"You're that man who was watching these two spar the other day." Sasuke stated
"Oh, yes I was. Still they aren't known to me just thought I'd check out a training session." Kakashi said with a wave of his hand as if it was the last thing on his mind. "Now introduce yourselves to me. You should state. Name, Clan, Things you like, Things you dislike, Subjects that interest you, and your life goal. Start with the routy brat."
"Routy? You son of a-"
"Drop it Sasuke." Shadow said mildly.
"Well well looks like I have a calm one amongst my team."
"Sasuke sit down brat Shadow said to." Fuu said pulling him making him blush. Shadow took note of this.
"Bu- oh fine!" He sat down and pouted. "I'm Uchiha Sasuke, I don't really like anything….Though I do like someone" He bit his lip angrily. "I dislike Uchiha Itachi, I dislike a lot of things. Nothing interest's me but getting stronger and beating a certain man... (A/N: Not Itachi) My goal is to becoming the world's strongest shinobi. (A/N: Hokage is too generic)
"Next you, the girl."
"I'm Fuu; I like Shadow, my boyfriend. I like being around him and training. I dislike this brat here." Pointing at Sasuke. "My interests are getting stronger and marrying said boyfriend. My ultimate goal is to be the first and only wife of the 7th Hokage."
"Interesting Fuu, Now you we all know you. The prodigy: Shadow"
"Prodigy? Since when!" Sasuke yelled.
"Sasuke chill out before I beat you down here and now. Showing you why I'm called a prodigy."
"Fine….Asshole."
"Tch, anyways. I am as you said the aptly named prodigy: Shadow. I have no clan. I dislike a lot of things. There's not anything in particular I do like. There are things. Or people I love and am willing to die to protect. Fuu Interests me I will protect her. My goal is to become the 7th Hokage."
"Well that was simple. Now, we have a mission we have to complete by tomorrow afternoon. I'd like to get started now."
"Alright what is it then tell us so we can start." Sasuke said impatient and ready to prove himself.
"Calm down. The mission is, you have to take these 2 bells from me. I'll give you 5 minutes to hide before it'll begin."
~Kakashi~
I can't play around lightly. I know Sasuke has his Sharigan activated so it's going to be a mild challenge: Shadow and Fuu on the other hand. They work well together and they're quite adept at more than one affinity at this point. Shit, oh well. "Well get moving." With that they all disappeared.
~Shadow~
He moved underground after disappearing from Kakashi's sights Fuu quickly followed him and went underground as well Sasuke just hid in the tree's an easy target for Kakashi… Shadow never saw the battle but he heard Sasuke scream in pain a short while after. Fuu tapped him as she went by to move into position. They felt Kakashi move away from the place where Sasuke fell… What a weakling Shadow thought. Kakashi's chakra filtered into the ground he was about to jump. Now was his chance. Shadow quickly shot to hit spot and grabbed Kakashi's leg just as Kakashi foot left the ground.
"Gotcha" Shadow smiled.
"HUH?!"
Shadow pulled Kakashi into the ground with ease and at the utmost leisure grabbing the bells in the process. As Shadow came to the surface he saw how much damage Kakashi had done to Sasuke. Almost none, had pinned him to a tree with 4 kunai and the placed him under a genjustu. He walked over and put his hand on Sasuke's forehead. "KAI!" Sasuke started to struggle and shake his head to regain his bearings.
"Where's Kakashi?"
"Over there" Shadow indicated over his shoulder moving slightly so Sasuke could see Kakashi sitting there dumbfounded.
"What the fuck you guys took him down without any troub- wait where's Fuu?"
"we're not stupid Kakashi. You can easily get out, so try."
~Kakashi~
"We're not stupid Kakashi. You can easily get out, so try" Shadow said before hearing a sigh from Kakashi. He's read my entire plan straight through. Damn!
"Alright, fine." Kakashi started to pull himself out of the ground, when Shadow got a glint in his eye. He can't expect me to fight him while I'm getting out of the ground. Tch I should have been more caref- His thought was interrupted as he was pulled completely underground and left with nothing but a hole to see the sun.
"See ya sensei." Fuu said with a wink before she poofed away. Probably to Shadow's side. God what did he get himself into. He slowly brought himself to the surface to see the three of them finishing their lunches. Well more specifically Sasuke. Shadow hadn't touched his and Fuu had finished hers.
"Well it's over you got the bells. So at least two of you pass."
"We completely destroyed you Kakashi the three of us should be fine together supposes this one." Shadow points back to a glaring Sasuke. "Gets some training first. However, I and Fuu have some unfinished business with you. Also I think Sasuke has earned the right to see you at full strength."
"Full strength but even you haven't?"
"No I haven't but we together are more than a match for you."
"Fine, but let's eat first." Kakashi said walking over as Shadow tossed him a lunch and then tore open his own and began devouring it. Kid doesn't know how to admit he's hungry does he. Kakashi finished eating 5 minutes after the others had completely finished. He dusted himself off and got into a fighting stance. "Fine let's go."
Shadow merely looked at Fuu before they both nodded their heads. Both didn't move except for Shadow activating his full powered Sharigan (A/N: The fully matured not MS or EMS.) "Let us meet eye for eye Kakashi."
"Fine." He'd been training with his Sharigan lately to increase the uses and time he could use it. Shadow fell into a defensive stance as Kakashi revealed his Sharigan. Fuu flipped through two sets of hand signs. The first set he didn't recognize. The water by the lake flew to her and attached to her arms in blue blade. The second one he did recognize, water wall. She spit out a large amount of water and filled the training ground. It was starting to get late. They had all passed but they still had 3 hours left to report. The other teams would be showing up shortly. I need to finish this up quickly. Kakashi started weaving his own signs but Shadow quickly engaged him before he could finish the jutsu. Damn. I really don't like using it without hand signs it makes the chakra usage far greater. He concentrated chakra to his palm as he kept dodging or blocking with his other hand using a kunai.
~Shadow~
I don't like the look of this. Fucking hell his lightning style, he's able to amass chakra while moving. It's no wonder he became a Jonin so young. Shadow kept him occupied while Fuu just watched looking for the perfect opportunity. Shadow looked in her direction giving her the O.K. the taijutsu battle was going nowhere with both Sharigan users using said dojutsu.
~Fuu~
She watched with amusement as Shadow engaged Kakashi head on. Oh boy is Kakashi-Sensei in for some serious problems. Shadow was holding back. She felt Shadow's attention flicker to her for a split second and she caught that it was her cue. She weaved signs for great vortex jutsu. She knew that they both had to get off the water As soon as he formed physical chakra. She didn't understand why just that it would be potentially dangerous. Kakashi quickly dodges as the vortex hit a tree behind where Kakashi had been. That's to be expected. But can he handle this. She started weaving more signs but quickly stopped and jumped as the chakra Shadow had warned her about appeared on Kakashi's hand.
~Shadow~
FUCK he'd gotten to release this jutsu. In almost no time no less. He looked around as he disengaged Kakashi and saw Sasuke in a tree at the far end of the clearing and Fuu and jumped onto the wood stumps.
"That won't save you from that. Shadow will still get hit." Kakashi said heading for the water.
"Oh really I wouldn't be so cocky Kakashi-Sensei, Shadow will be just fine." Fuu said hoping it was true.
"I'll be fine." Shadow said focusing a large amount of chakra. I either have to rely on chakra in my feet on EMS. Which I don't like relying on it makes me more of a target in battle. Fuck it I'm going to use the ground because he's headed for me at the same time as the water. The chakra went to his feet and Shadow landed not a moment too soon. As soon as he leapt away Kakashi hit the water and caused a huge electrical shock. Shadow landed on the stub next to Fuu. "You okay?"
"Just fine." Came her reply. " I was more worried about you."
"I'll be okay. But now I'm done playing around. I'm going all. out."
"Shadow you can't."
"I'm going to. It's necessary in a taijutsu battle." Shadow sat down and took off his training weights yet again and this time. He slipped weights off his arms that were on his upper arms hidden by his shirt. He tossed them sideways. He also channeled chakra into his eyes. "I'm done playing around Kakashi. Time to show you what speed really is." With that He jumped down at what seemed slower than before as Kakashi just sat there and watched him.
"Where's this speed you're bragging abou-" He couldn't finish his sentence as Shadow had punched the side of his face already moving.
"There now, not even your Sharigan can allow you to keep up with my movements." The other Sharigan user stated still running like the wind. He wasn't even focusing chakra into his feet anymore. Still this was relatively tiring. He quickly threw a couple punches which Kakashi tried to block but only managed to block two of them because the other were feints which quickly resulted in Kakashi getting smashed in the spine by and elbow or his knees knocked from under him.
~Kakashi~
Hm this kid is fast. I can't follow him but my battle prowess will show my true strength. He started blocking every one of Shadows punches even going as far as to dodge the feint movement. He weaved hand signs for Raikiri (A/N: The stronger version of Chidori) . He wasn't going to aim for the kid's heart but he needed to be slowed down. He was quickly enveloped in water as he landed from one of his dodges. The electrical power of the Raikiri infused with the water which he identified to be Water dragon jutsu. He electrocuted himself even though very mildly due to his affinity being lightning. He was almost out of chakra.
"Suirō no Jutsu." He flipped his head to see Fuu catch him in a water prison.. Shit he let himself subdued.
~Shadow~
"I expected more from you Kakashi." Shadow said walking up to the imprisoned Kakashi. "S'alright Fuu you can let him out." As soon as he issued the order the prison dropped and Kakashi dropped onto the damp ground. He started gasping and coughing for air.
"Well. Then I'm sorry I'm a disappointment but you have to remember. You were taught by both me and Jiraiya my skills lack when my own strategies have been passed along. Not to mention both of you are Jinchuuriki and have large chakra reserves to begin with. Also if you're able to beat even a clone of Jiraiya then you're definitely well on your way to being powerful nin. Alright let's go home. HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT SASUKE!" He yelled over his shoulder as Shadow collected and put his weights back on.
"Fuu didn't take her weights off. You're going to ned to train as well Kakashi."
"Yeah I know…" They walked as far as the Kage tower and said their good byes.
"Ya know, he isn't bad but taking us on is far beyond him for a while." Fuu said happily.
Shadow looked at her surprised. She wasn't usually cocky but he supposed she could gloat now and then. It was then he realized he never deactivated his Sharigan, quickly doing so he walked home with Fuu. Getting few insults as they went along, they were however ignored. Once they reached home they took off their sandals and shadow brought their weights upstairs. When he returned he smelled something good.
"Mmm what smells so good?"
"I'm not making anything yet so I don't know what you're smelling." He blushed slightly at that realizing then he smelled her perfume.
"Well what's for dinner?"
"Spaghetti, nothing special."
"Well if you haven't started yet then I'd like to take you out to Ichiraku's Ramen Stand."
"Alright if you insist." She smiled she knew it was one of his favorite places to eat and she had become quite fond of it herself.
"I do" he grabbed them both coats and ushered her out the door. Little did they know that they'd end up finding five of the most random eating companions.
A/N: One of those eating companions is for my beta reader, Angel. Yes HE'S FINALLY SHOWING UP! Anyways other than that it's just going to be a few of the genin. Lee maybe or Neji or both, anyways R&R! I hope you enjoyed this chapter I uh…didn't really have anything to do so I wrote it. Also again the battle between Kakashi and the two Jinchuuriki feels really unbalanced. Too me especially, but he still thinks of them as comrades so he's holding back. But you have to take into account the amount of Gai type training they put themselves through. I may do a little segment on it later. In Chapter 10 I might have a small sparring match at the end of a few more month of training. That would show how even they are in strength (Fuu and Shadow) and then either by the end of 10 or early 11 they will start the Wave Arc. Finally right? I didn't want to make it too many before the arc but it just felt too rushed to put any time before then. Lastly, in my manuscript (yes I write some of it out) I have them starting the Wave arc but it didn't fit quite so well here. I want to put a bit of romance into every chapter or at least showing that they care about each other. Mostly due to that being the main use that will be done during missions. Also shout out to Z for keeping my life chill. Thanks man.
