It's been a month since i lost my arm and already i'm tired of school, academy, whatever you want to call it. Normally you join from twelve and graduate at seventeen. I joined at seventeen with the graduating class since I trained by myself. So did my two friends. James is sitting next to me and taking notes as i sit with my head on the table trying to tune out the fucking fangirls. Jake is sitting on my other side.
Five foot ten with messy brown hair that reaches the top of his ears. His eyes are the same color as his hair and he is slightly tan. A sword rests on his hip and he has bandaged hands from constant practicing with the blade. A scroll rests on the table as Jake doodles a few random seals. Brief explanation.
Sealing is known as the art of fuinjutsu. This art is very complex and most people can't understand it, including me considering that shit looks like scribbles, this makes it very rare. Most seal users are at the same level as me. I can make a storage scroll or an exploding note, and we can only do those two things. Sealing is done by drawing symbols on a surface before channeling chakra to the symbols. Jake is a freak for the fact that he can somehow understand the scribbles known as sealing symbols. Im telling you, that shit is just random scribbles that do certain things. I'm seriously debating on whether sealing is mostly luck or mostly bull shit and magic.
Jake is wearing a loose robe and has a large quantity of scrolls in a bag on his shoulder. Dudes carrying enough scroll paper to make a boat out of paper mache. His robe is decorated with flame motifs going up and down the edges.
The teacher is droning on about some random bullshit and the only difference between the two guys upfront is that one has dark hair and a scar on his nose, the other has pale skin and light blue hair. The teachers finish their droning and everyone stands up. Huh?
I glance at the clock and see that it's time for the sparring and accuracy training. Great. More work. Why can't I just go back to sleep? This is such bullshit.
Everyone heads outside and I notice the first combatants. A pair of boys named Sasuke uchiha and naruto uzumaki.
Naruto is an average height man with golden blond hair that spikes upwards in multiple directions and he has tan skin wrapping his frame. He is clad in a bulky jumpsuit that is mostly orange with black on the shoulders, neck, ankles and wrists. His face is marked by bright blue eyes and three lines on each cheek. The kid is super loud and I honestly hope he gets choked out so he would stop screaming about becoming hokage. The dude has no subtly and his only saving grace is the utterly enormous amounts of chakra he has gained from being the container of the nine tailed fox demon. He has one strategy in any fight at all, spam physical clones called shadow clones, and charge at you with a spiraling ball of chakra in his hand. It's called the rasengan and people seem to think it's amazing that he learned the signature jutsu of the fourth hokage. The jutsu isn't that cool, honestly. Just spin your chakra in a ball and tada, rasengan, the kid only uses those two justus and he just spams them while running at you screaming. Fucking idiot.
The second boy is named sasuke uchiha, he has dark hair that falls to his shoulders in a limp sheet of ink. His pale skin is unmarred and his only notable feature is the pair of blood red eyes with three spiraling comma marks in them. The sharingan, an eye mutation that allows its holders to copy any jutsu with just a glance and the ability to predict your enemy's movements. He is clad in dark armor that is made of black cloth with armor plates sewn in all over the clothing. He has a sword sheathed on the back of his waist and he tends to rely on speed to win. Sasuke is an assault master, he uses his wide assortment of fire and lightning jutsu to strike crippling blows on his enemies before finishing them off with his sword. I can respect him for his tactics. Other than that he is a piece of shit. Dude's clan got slaughtered by his brother and only left the children alive. Sasuke is currently sixteen and is the clan head. Guy seems to think that his status and the leader of a clan of children makes him a gift from god. He's smart in combat but he keeps going on about how much better he is than everyone due to his uchiha blood.
The pair of teens step into the ring and fall into their fighting stances. Naruto raises his hands for a jutsu and sasuke does the same. The teacher shouts for them to begin and naruto summons a dozen clones that all rush sasuke head on. Sasuke flies through hand seals and spits a ball of fire at the charge before he jumps back to get some distance. The fireball eradicates a chunk of the clones and the rest continue their charge. Sasuke smirks before drawing his blade and cutting down clones as Naruto summons more before they form a rasengan in each hand. The clones resume their charge and I watch as sasuke counters with a fist covered in lightning, the chidori, his go to jutsu for up close combat.
The chidori is a blade in your palm formed of pure lightning, an assanation jutsu that is the baby brother to the raikiri, the lightning cutter, a jutsu developed by kakashi hatake. Sasuke was able to bargain with kakashi by trading a few high level fire jutsu for the chidori.
Sasuke slams his chidori into naruto's rasengan and the two jutsus clash, the piercing power of lightning versus the grinding bulk of the rasengan. The attacks cancel each other out and they swiftly start throwing punches at each other. Sasuke is using speed and agility to strike multiple times and avoid any counter attacks as naruto uses raw strength and durability to power through the hits. The boys jump back and both fly through hand seals. Naruto vanishes in a puff of smoke to signify he is a clone as he is hit by a ball of flame. Sasuke lunges forward to avoid a rasengan to the back before he spins and spits a twisting serpent formed of orange fire. The flaming serpent lashes out at Naruto and the boy sacrifices a multitude of clones to stop that beast. Sasuke finishes a chain of hand seals and spits out a dragon of white fire before his right eye bleeds and the dragon turns black. Amaterasu?
The black flames of amaterasu are legendary among hidden leaf ninja. An unquenchable flame that will burn until its target is nothing but dust. The black fire takes a large portion of chakra since it's fueled by chakra and not oxygen like other fire jutsu. This makes the flames truly unstoppable since the only way to stop it is to either wait for it to finish destroying its target or to knock out the uchiha keeping the flames going.
The black fire dragon roars before it charges naruto as he has a clone channel wind chakra into his rasengan. The rasengan grows from the size of an apple to the size of a basketball as four whirling blades from the ball. The rasenshuriken, a wind style rasengan that will shred its targets into dust. Naruto slams his attack into the dragon and there is a dome of slicing wind around the two.
The wind clears and shows Naruto with burns on his arm and deep cuts on the same arm. Sasuke is heavily panting as he drops to a knee. Sasuke won. The pale teen staggers off to go and rest so his chakra will replenish. Naruto is now groaning on the ground and I jog over. The teacher was calling for medics. I tune him out and my hands glow green.
I run my glowing hands over naruto's arm and use my medical jutsus to heal him. First close up those cuts and restore the muscle, done. Now get rid of the burns and help the skin heal, done. Finally lets fix those fractured wrist bones. Dumbass put too much force behind his attack. Alright. All done.
I stand up and take a deep breath to relax. Alright. Other than some stiffness in the limb, his arm is all good. I walk back to my friends as the medics collect Naruto on a stretcher before they cart him off to the infirmary. Guys gonna be sore but he should be fine. The teacher calls up the next fight.
Hinata hyuuga versus kiba inuzuka. Interesting. Both clans are known for their close combat skills. The hyuuga clan is known for its accuracy and grace, striking pressure points to disable your body and chakra points to disable your chakra network/usage, in their fighting style called the gentle fist. The Inuzuka clan is known for their partnership with dogs and the usage of said dogs in combat. The clan focuses on ripping apart their opponents in tag team attacks with their dogs, focusing on wild attacks and slashes or bites. All aggression and fury given flesh.
Hinata is a slender girl with pale skin and dark blue hair. She stands at five foot nine, the same height as naruto and an inch shorter than sasuke, and her eyes are twin pools of milk. Side effects of the eye mutation in that clan. The byakugan, the all seeing eye, grants its user a 360 degree field of vision and lets you see the chakra in your opponent. The byakugan is used for the fight style, using its field of vision to dodge attacks and the chakra viewing to strike at critical points to disable your opponent. It's a strong eye, not as powerful as the sharingan but it's much better at tracking since the usage of more chakra in your eyes will expand your field of view, normally you can see in a 360 degree dome around you at about ten feet. If you use more chakra then you can see much farther. Some hyuuga are rumored to be able to see up to a mile in a full circle.
Kiba is a stocky man that stands at the same height as sasuke. His messy brown hair is choppy cut. His teeth are fanged and sharp. Claws adorn his fingers and he is wrapped in black leather with lots of zippers on his clothes. He stands next to his canine companion, a giant white dog named Akamaru, the dog stands at chest height on kiba and it has large ears that droop below its jaws. Kiba snarls as he falls into a fighting stance that involves him on all fours as his dog growls. His clan is a tracking and annihilation clan. Using enhanced senses and their dogs to track down prey, before shredding it with razor sharp claws and teeth.
The teacher shouts for them to begin and the fight begins. Hinata activates her eyes and veins bulge at her temples as she uses her bloodline. Kiba roars and leaps at Hinata as his dog charges with fangs bared. The pale girl slides into a crouch to dodge kiba and slams her fingers into akamaru as he passes her. The large dog whines before it collapses on the ground. Kiba snarls in rage and charges Hinata with claws ready to tear flesh. The girl spins out of the way of his attack and slams him with her fingers. The boy collapses on the ground. Damm. The girl has skill.
The teacher announces her victory as Hinata walks back to the group. I walk over to kiba and unlock his chakra points. The teacher helps the medics heave akamaru onto a stretcher. Kiba stands and shakes out the numbness in his limbs. He nods to the medic after the guy says they have a vet on standby.
"Hey. why didn't you help akamaru?" kiba asks. His voice is rough and kinda growling.
"Don't know how. My medical knowledge is on people and reptiles like my crocs or turtles. Dogs are a different body type so I can't help out much. Sorry." I replied.
"Your good dude. My sister is the opposite, she can heal dogs no prob but people are outta her league. Thanks for helping me though." kiba claps me on the back before running off to check on his dog.
The fight I missed was between sakura and ino, a pair of useless girls that have focused on nothing but their looks and ignored their skills. Useless women. I hear Sakura was announced as the victor.
I turn out the rest of the fights till I hear Jake get called up. He stands in the ring and faces off with james.
James starts off by pulling a bone out of his arm and swinging the ivory razor. Jake counters with his sword and jumps back before flinging a handful of shuriken at james. James tanks the hit and I spot bone under his flesh as it blocks the hits. James charges Jake and slams a fist into him. The scrawny boy is winded from the hit and James capitalizes on this momentary weakness. James raises his arms above his head and links his fists together. The brawny boy slams his linked fists down on Jake's upper back with crushing force. The blow knocks my friend to the ground and he tries to stand before getting slammed back to the ground. He is down for the count from those heavy hits.
The teacher announces James as the victor and the medics ignore Jake as i walk out and drag him back to the group.
"Why aren't you healing me?" Jake groans.
"Because you were stupid. Instead of using illusions and sneak attacks like you should have. You went head to head with a fucking juggernaut. You deserve the bruises.'' I scolded my friend.
Jake groans and James snickers as I'm called up. My opponent is a pale kid with black hair and a leather crop top. The fuck? He has no expression on his face and he has a satchel on his hip with a sword on his back. Why is this guy wearing a crop top? The teacher announces the match and we both attack.
My shadow pools at my feet before a black figure emerges. It's a pitch black version of myself with glowing yellow eyes. My shadow raises its fists and charges my opponent. The boy jumps back and whips out, a paint set? His hand flies across the page before he makes a hand seal. Lions made of ink charge from the scroll and attack my shadow. The fuck? The lions are dispatched by my shadow with crushing blows before it resumes its assault. The boy is sending a swarm of ink creatures at my shadow and the black figure is having a problem with the sheer number of beasts. Damm. normally my shadow is unstoppable in close combat, little explanation.
My demonic blood is much more potent than my clansmen. Normally my clan is a quarter demon, i'm three quarters demon due to my demonic father and quarter demon mother. My demonic blood grants me a wide array of unique powers and one of them is my shadow. My shadow is the physical embodiment of my darkness, all my rage and hate and various other negative emotions take up residence in my shadow and grant a sort of pseudo life. My shadow is loyal to me and fights for me. It can't die and if it's destroyed then it draws on a small amount of my chakra to restore itself. My shadow is all aggression and only defends when it's close to me. That's how we fight actually. It focuses on close combat and I offer long range support with shields or shadow attacks.
My shadow keeps up the pressure and is slowly being overwhelmed by the number of beasts that are swarming it. Shit. I form hand seals before sending out a wave of darkness that slices through the beasts. My shadow uses the opening I provided to rush the pale kid before launching a barrage of attacks. The kid drops his paint set and draws his short sword to engage my shadow. The kid is quickly overwhelmed by the speed and ferocity of my shadow before he is knocked out with a brutal right hook to the face. Damm. That's a good hit.
I call back my shadow and it returns to my side before melting into the pool of darkness at my feet. I jog over and heal my opponent before walking back to the group. The teacher announces my victory before the medics cart the kid off to the infirmary.
The class heads to the target range and I go first. I hit a decent score of seven outta ten before walking back to the tree near the school. I'm gonna take a nap.
