We stood in the ice cold blowing winds, 30 feet between us. Neji was our referee.
"You both know the rules. Byakugon chakra usage only. First one to burn out wins. Anything else goes. Are both of you ready?" Neji said, eyeing the two of us.
"Ready." I said, swinging my blades in circles around. My muscles loosened with every swing. I took in a deep breath. I felt my Byakugon flare. His weak point in his offense is very small but if I hit it numerous times with type 3 usage then I should be able to win. Hitting his pride will be easy target. But it's going to be tricky. Just do your normal tactics, Suzume.
"Ready." My uncle answered. He had his Byakugon ready.
"Begin!" Neji called. My uncle launched at me, trying surprise me because he's only defense until he needs to be offense. He swung right, left, low, high and left, trying to hit my chakra points. I dodged, attacking his mid-section with every dodge. We repeated the routine for several minutes. I growled as he tried hitting my chest. I kicked him chest, knocking him back to his staring point. Part 2 in commences. We were at it for several minutes, repeating the same routine for 20 minutes. He was doubled-over, breathless. I was just breathless. I'm weakening him. My plan's working.
"You're pretty pathetic, Uncle." I said, still swinging my swords. "Fighting a girl, brave. But losing to one is pathetic. I know more ways of fighting then you do and I'm 16. So are you just reduced to fighting teenage girls because you're so weak?" A smirk formed on my lips as the expression on my uncle's face turned sour and the crowd whispered. Their surprise by my boldness amazed them. The only 2 who weren't shocked by me were Sasori and Neji. I looked at them for a split second, to catch their smiles.
"Why you!?" He launched at me. I surged my chakra into my arm and felt heat raise through my arm. Once he was almost on top of me I threw my arm into the left side of his chest, where the center of his heart. Uncle screamed in pain as I pushed him back. It took him out. He was burned out. It took him several moments to sit up that he had to have some of the family had to help him up. He stumbled up to me, glaring at me and screamed, "You Cheated!"
"I'm above cheating, uncle. I used Byakugon use number 3: burn out as I call it. If I push my chakra into my arm, and great speed, it heats up and shows itself. It looks like fire, doesn't it? If I hit a certain weak spot, it burns out the chakra of the opponent and reduces any future chakra use. In this case, Uncle, your weak spot is the area where the heart is. You lose. Neji is the new head of the family unless Hinata wants to the position" I explained. We turned to my brother and my cousin. Hinata shook her head and Neji still looked astonished. "Neji is now the head of the family!"
"You bitch! No matter how strong or intelligent you are, Suzume, you are going to end up dead. You are going to die like the slut you are!" My uncle snarled. "You're just like my ignorant brother and like his whore wife!"
I gasped at his words. Tears threatened my eyes. Sasori came toward me, placing his arm around my waist. "And ridicule Suzume or myself again; prepare to meet my foot in your face! I love this girl with all my heart and she loves me."
A smile came to my face. Sasori and I, with Shikamaru tailing behind us, hand in hand. Once we were several feet away, away from their ears, was when spoken again. "I love you, Sasori. No matter what, I always will." I said. Sasori gripped my hand tighter. I looked up at him and a smile was on his face.
"So what's next, Strong one?" Shikamaru joked.
"We find Hidan and Kakuzu." I said.
