"Next up, can we have, Ito Mikoto and Uzumaki Atsuko," Lee Sensei yelled.
I sighed.
Well, lets do this. I'll hit it like a hard drive!
'Remember, I don't want to feel pain', Kyuubi yelled.
I gasped. I grabbed my stomach.
"Are you okay, Suko," Tou-san asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I told him.
I took off my hoodie, leaving me in my white long sleeve shirt and handed it to Tou-san.
"Can you hold this," I asked.
"Yeah, sure,"he said taking it.
"Do your best," Sakura said.
"I will," I smiled.
I stretched my right arm over my left. I stepped my right foot in front of me.
Well, here goes nothing.
I slowly began to walk towards the center of the field-like area. Mikoto smirked as she walked towards the field.
I can basically hear all the 'boos' that are errupting from everybody. It sooned started. I felt that tingly feeling in my chest again. I clutched my chest and looked at Tou-san he was getting angry. I ran over to him and grabbed his pants. He looked down at me.
"Please calm down, Tou-san," I told him. "Its okay."
"Shut up! Everybody!," Lee Sensei screamed.
Everybody immediately got quiet.
That's what I thought. But...
I giggled.
Tou-san your too soft.
I quickly hugged his legs before returning to the field.
"Ready...Begin!," Lee Sensei yelled.
I got in defense and so did Mikoto.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
"Why are you always using that jutsu?! Is that the only way you can win?!"
"Its my original."
I made 100 clones. The clones and I mixed up, so I could confuse Mikoto. A clone and I used Shunshin no Jutsu and appeared a couple of trees before the field. She made the Rasengan in my hand. The clone and I stayed there for a minute. 95 clones disappeared, leaving four on the field. Two of them charged at her. One of them threw a punch, leaving her open. Mikoto kicked her in the stomach, making her disappear. Mikoto punch the other one in the face. When the smoke disappeared, there was one clone left.
Time for the decieving!
The one clone held the Rasengan in her hand.
"I was wondering when you were going to show your real face," Mikoto laughed.
Oh, you have no idea.
The clone charged at her with the Rasengan. Mikoto got in defense. When the clone came near, she jumped in the air and threw a kunai at her. It sliced through her cheek. The clone didn't immediately disappear.
"You can't keep using the Rase-whatever all the time, people are gonna dodge it all the time," she taught the clone.
Why you?!...
You better remember the name of my Otou-san's jutsu!
Then, the clone disappeared with a flick of 'the finger'.
Mikoto gasped.
The clone with me picked me up by my feet turning me upside down. She spun around a couple of times and through me forward towards Mikoto.
"Hey!"
She turned around and gasped.
"Rasengan!"
I hit her in her chest. The Rasengan started to take affect on her. She was shot through 3 trees behind her.
Everyone gasped.
I threw my feet in front of me to land properly.
"You better remember the name of that jutsu!," I yelled at her unconsicous body.
I was grabbed from behind and hugged tightly. Ugh!
The Death Hold.
"Lee Sensei, please put me down," I managed to get out with such ease.
"That was amazing!," he said.
"Lee Sensei, you may not want to show favortism in front of our class' parents," I told him.
He put me down lightly. I folded my hands over my head and walked towards Tou-san and Sakura.
"Good job, Suko," Sakura told me.
"Eh, it was too easy," I said.
Tou-san ruffled my hair. I smiled.
"But you really did do a good job," he also said.
I looked over at Dai. He was cocky. But he could back that up.
"You have to fight Dai in the next round," Sakura said.
"Yeah, I know. The next round is taijutsu only and I'm not that good at that," I said worried. "Well, only if I use Kage Bunshins."
I looked down at my feet. Tou-san, sensing my sadness, tried to comfort me. He put a reassuring hand on my shoulder.
"Its okay, Suko. You don't need Kage Bunshins to win. You'll do fine. I know taijutsu isn't your strong point, but that doesn't mean you're going to lose. Just remember you training," Tou-san told me.
"I...I don't?," I asked.
Tou-san shook his head no.
I smiled.
"Alright," I said.
Koaru was in the next round. She went against a boy name Koichi. He's very quiet and keeps to himself. He may be very quiet, but he still against me and will try to hurt me, just like the others. Anyway, he was easily defeated. I feel sorry for him.
So, I have to fight Koaru in the next round. If I make it to the next round.
All the battles came and went. My classmates clashing with each other.
I was up in this round. Tou-san had to leave to go do important paperwork, but Sakura still stayed. Akira came, too.
"Okay, knock 'em dead, Imouto," he told me.
"Do your best," Sakura said.
"I will!," I yelled.
I walked onto the field.
"Is your Onii-san here to support you lose," Dai asked smirking.
"That's my line," I said glaring.
"Hey, Kyou-onii-san came to see me win," he said defending himself.
"Again, that's mind line," I said.
"Ready...Begin!," Lee Sensei yelled.
I got in defense. Who's gonna attack first?
He came at me.
Guess not me.
I was about to make a Kage Bunshin when I remebered I couldn't. I'll be disquailified. I just stood there not knowing what to do. I feel like I lost all my knowledge about fighting.
Oh man, what to do?!
"Do something, Imouto!," Nii-san screamed at me.
I immediately snapped back to reality. I saw Dai trying to kick me in the face. I ducked my head and went under his leg. I appeared to his side. I threw my leg at him. He blocked it with his arm.
"You know, we're going to kill you, right?," he smirked.
"Huh?"
He punched me in the face and I fell to the ground.
He got on top of me. He grabbed my shirt, pulling me upward and punched me in the face. He did this ten straight minutes.
"Nobody. Likes. You. Here. You Demon! This. Was. Our. Chance. To. Kill. You," he yelled in my face.
"AHHH!," I screamed in pain.
This isn't just a tournament anymore. For me, its a battle to survive!
The adults were actually cheering him and laughing. Temewas!
"You. Killed. My. Obaa-san. And. Ojii-san. I. Never. Got. To. Meet. Them!"
Is that what he's mad about?! Oh, we all have problems!
Finding enough strength, I head butted him in the head. He hissed in pain and got off of me. I got up slowly in pain. I couldn't see out of my left eye anymore. My mouth was bleeding. I had a bloody nose. My face was all swollen and it was throbbing. I slumped over in pain and lowered my head.
"So? Is that why you're mad? That's why you tried to kill me? Huh?!," I asked furious.
"Of course you'll never understand. You just kill people!," he screamed at me.
"I could never kill an innocent person. I never got to meet my Obaa-san or Ojii-san, either," I told him keeping my head lowered.
Well, in person that is.
"Your going to try and kill me. Oh no. You got another thing coming," I said.
Kyuubi was angry. In fact, she was past angry. Pissed, even. Kyuubi's chakra started seeping out of me. The red chakra surrounded me taking forms of part of my body. My eyes got pupils and turned red. My hands grew claws. My shirt started to partly rip at the sleeves.
I crouched down and growled. Everyone booed at me. Some even threw rocks. It exploded, when they hit the red chakra.
"Ya think your the only one who has problems...huh?! Get over it!," I growled.
I clasped my hands together, raised them above my head, and brought them down on his head. He spat out blood. I hit him square in the chest, making him spit up more blood. I kicked him up in the air.
I'm about to use a taijutsu move Tou-san taught me.
I started hitting him with every syllable of my name
"Uz-zu-ma-ki," I said kicking him every syllable higher and higher.
"Uzumaki Barrage!," I finally kicked him down.
He fell unconsious. Kyuubi's chakra flowed back into me. I fell down on my knees and started panting.
This is so hard. I have to learn how to control Kyuubi. Tou-san said I'm too weak.
"I did it. I really did it."
"Alright, Imouto!,"screamed Nii-san.
Ha!
