Thank you to all those that replied.
ZeroKaze: Thanks for the name suggestion and I have gone back and changed the name. I was originally trying to find a good name that would fit my character but I don't know any Japanese so it was a bit hard to find something. Thank you.
Chapter 3- Friendly sparing
Shinaka finished her patrol and returned home, unsuccessful in finding any of the children who had been sneaking in. She did find traces; hastily made fires, toys and food wrappers. Perhaps it was a dare by the younger generations. She would have a talk with Iruka tomorrow, see if he had heard any of the academy students talking about it.
Shinaka's house was hard to see in the dense forest that lay beneath the west side of the hokage's mountain. The home had a genjutsu placed on it, maintained by fuinjutsu seals. All she had to do was top them up occasionally with chakra and anyone who came close to the house would be turned away, forgetting why they came. It only allowed those whose blood she let into the seal, such as herself, the Hokage and a few shinobi, in.
She flew through an open window on the bottom floor only to find Gai and Kakashi arm wrestling on her living room table. She ignored them and flew upstairs to her bedroom. As she shifted back into her human form she groaned as muscles and bones shifted from the bird's hollow bones to the dense ones of humans. Her feathers melding together into skin, turning from grey to peach.
The shift lasted less than a minute. Shifting didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable, like moving stiff muscles.
She tried to avoid shifting outside or she would risk being seen naked. When she shifted her clothes did not shift along with her. The first time she discovered this she was naked in the middle of the village. She was so embarrassed that she immediately turned into a small cat and ran away.
She looked at the mirror on the dresser opposite a king-sized bed, tying her hair up so that it wouldn't fall in her face during training later. Her human form had long white hair, height just shorter than Kakashi.
She wrapped her breasts behind white bandages in a tight binding and placed a long-sleeved shinobi mesh shirt over it. Then zipped up a blue sleeveless hoodie, with an orange trim. On the back displayed proudly was a red Uzumaki swirl to remember her surrogate mother. She wore simple black shinobi pants tapped off at the bottom with more bandages. A Kunai holster with more bandages was attached to her left hip.
Strung over her front and back was a brown leather holder holding her bow staff on her back. She tucked a pair of black steel daggers, with a curved black blade like a fang into holders at the bottom of her back. She most likely wouldn't need it for a light spar, but she felt safer having them on her.
Lastly, she placed her Hitatai loosely around her neck so that if she shifted it would still stay on.
After changing she walked out the double doors leading to a deck that wrapped around the top half of the building. Kneeling on the ground she bit her thumb. She went through several hand seals then slammed her hand into the ground. "Summoning no jutsu." She shouted as she mentally called the summons she wanted.
When the smoke accompanying the jutsu subsided two wolves stood before her. The first, a male was panting and wagging his tail, a large smile on his face. His fur was like grass, with a lighter color fur on his underside, around his eyes and mouth, and the tip of his ears and paws. His eyes were the color of a pink rose, glimmering in the sunshine.
The other wolf was a female, slimmer than the stockier male, with long legs perfect for running. Her fur was a dark midnight, almost black, that blended into lighter crystal blue fur on the tip of her tail, ears and the fur on her head. The fur was thicker around her neck, and half of it fell over her left eye. Her eyes, the same shade as the tip of her fur, looked around the balcony disinterested in what she was seeing.
Quickly she told them to keep an eye out while she trained, but not to approach the kids in case they frightened them away.
"I thought I told you I would meet you at the training ground?" She said as she walked back downstairs. Upstairs had the bathroom, two bedrooms and an upper deck circling the whole top of the house, fringed with vines.
Downstairs consisted of a wide-open layout. One wall was lined top to bottom with bookshelves containing several books and scrolls. On another a kitchen sat into the wall with a small kitchen island separating it from the rest of the space. Opposite the kitchen sat a large stone fireplace with several chairs around it and a table in-between.
A door opposite the bookshelves led into the garden. It was separated from the forest by a cobblestone wall, on which long creeping vines grew. Already turning into a dark red as autumn approached.
Kakashi and Gai looked up at her, arms still locked in an arm wrestle on the kitchen island. "IN YOUR YOUTHFULNESS YOU FORGOT TO TELL US WHERE TO MEET YOU!." Gai yelled out.
Shinaka winced at his tone and wacked him on the head with her bo. "I TOLD YOU TO STOP YELLING!" she yelled back. Sighing with a small tick appearing on her forward she told them. "We'll go to training ground 30. But not for too long I promised Iruka I would stop by the academy to show some of the students' shinobi survival skills."
They arrived at the training ground soon after. Like most of the other training grounds it had a large grassy area, but off to the side a vast stone space stood there. Big rocks scattered around the place, perfect to practice ninjutsu on. It was an old abandoned quarrel, destroyed and determined structurally unsafe after the Kyuubi attack.
Now it was the perfect place for Jonin and a few strong chunin to train. The rocks kept the surrounding forest from being destroyed during training and sparing. But if your reflexes were not fast enough sometimes the rocks would fall on you.
Thinking this Shinaka had a brief flashback to Obito, but quickly shook her head to dismiss the thought. It was not good to dwell on the past.
They stood in the middle of the clearing and faced each other.
"What are the limits?" Shinaka asked.
"Just taijutsu, no sharigan, shifting or weights." Gai replied. They nodded at each other and leaped back. Shinaka jumped towards the rocks and crouched in the shadow of two rocks leaning into each other. She scanned the clearing, before calming herself.
She felt a presence behind her suddenly and swiveled, crossing her arms as a kick aimed for her navel. It sent her flying back into the clearing, where Kakashi kicked her down into the ground. She rolled away as his leg came down again and crouched looking up at him.
She flipped back as another fist came flying at her head. It was a shadow clone of Kakashi. Both came running towards her. The clone reached her first and she kicked his arm away as he aimed for her midriff. She hit him back in the head, dispersing him.
Kakashi moved around the cloud of smoke and hit her in the shoulder with a right hook. Moving with it she dropped to the ground and kicked back at his legs. He jumped back avoiding her blow. They both ran forward and moved in a complicated rhythm of hit, dodge, block, hit, block, dodge.
It was during this time that Shinaka felt the most at peace. Thinking nothing about the battle and your next move. No complications of loss, worry and any other human emotions that only brought sorrow when everything had been taken away.
The two continued in their rhythm until a shadow fell across them. Reacting quickly, they leaped away as an orange leg came crashing into the ground between them. Shinaka hurriedly ran forward and spun a kick at Gai's head hoping to catch him off guard. But Gai was the fastest among them and quickly grabbed her leg and spun her towards Kakashi. Surprised Kakashi was knocked down with her and they both went rolling along the ground.
Quickly they got up as Gai ran towards them, and all three engaged in a one for all fight. When one kicked, the other blocked while trying to hit the third.
They were broken out of their rhythm when a kunai pierced the space between them. As one they all turned to where the kunai came from and stood in a defensive position scanning the clearing.
They relaxed when they saw Anko standing at the tree line. Anko approached them. "Hey can I join you?" Seeing Shinaka with them she raised an eyebrow and pointed out, "Shinaka weren't you meant to be at the academy an hour ago?"
Looking at the position of the sun she quickly brought both hand to her head. "Oh shit." She turned and hurriedly ran in the direction of the academy. "Sorry guys got to dash." She waved as she ran.
"I swear your tardiness is running off on her." Anko said as they blinked at Shinaka's sudden disappearance.
My first ever fight sequence . Please tell me how I did it took me so long to figure out how to write it.
Update: I finally decided to do wolves, because foxes just seemed so cliché.
