Chapter #83: The Genius and the Loser
Title Page: Kai, dressed as a cowboy, is riding a bull on the rodeo
"I gotta confess that until now I was holding back, however what you just did proves that I cannot afford to do that anymore" announced Senkou calmly as he went into his fighting stance. "Kai, you better prepare yourself, because starting now, I'm getting serious" and with that he charged forward at an incredible speed.
In a flash Kai performed a quick set of hand seals, making flames circle around his arms. Seeing this Takaru's eyes widen in surprise: "That… that's my technique! When did he…?" but before he could even finish that thought, the blonde called out, throwing his hands forward: "Insei Tooriame!" and instantly a rain of small fireballs shoot straight at Senkou.
As the fire bullets came closer, the masked gennin prepared to dodge. Without slowing down, he ducked under the first, few meteors and then placed his hands on the ground in order to use them to bounce off it, thus making more of the fireballs fly beneath him.
While he was still in mid-air, more meteors flashed before his eyes as they came at him. Acting on instinct, Senkou extended his left hand and then placed his right one on it, using it to blast himself from it, which changed the course of his flight and thus allowed him to avoid the fireballs. Upon landing on his right hand and foot, Senkou spun parallel to the floor on his hand, making another series of fire bullets miss him by inches and then, with a quick flip, he slid beneath another hand full of the flames on his left side.
The masked gennin threw a punch from bellow, aimed at his opponent's chin, forcing the blonde to bend back in order to avoid the assault. Acting on instinct, Kai grabbed the arm that came right before his face with his left hand and launched a punch into Senkou's stomach, only to have it blocked by the son of Hokage's knee.
Instantly Senkou attacked Kai's chest with his free hand, forcing the blonde to jump back. As the two extended he distance between each other, the masked gennin charged forward again and jumping into the air, he aimed a spinning drop kick at his opponent's head, yet Naruto's subordinate managed to avoid the assault by rolling to the front and the moment the son of Hokage landed on the ground, Kai threw a kick back, aimed at the silver-haired boy's back.
Senkou acted quickly however and also crawled down, kicking Kai's leg from bellow, thus making it fly higher into the sky, which also made the blonde's entire body rise up a bit, thus forcing him to stand on his hands in order to avoid falling flat on his face.
Seeing an opening, Senkou leaned to his left and as his sight settled on Kai's torso, he threw both his hands at him, aiming to smash his stomach. With no way to dodge, the blonde made a desperate move and took his hands off the floor. As his body began falling, he managed to flip, making his back land hard on the ground. He managed however to grab his opponent's hands, that came right in front of his face, by the wrists and toss him far away.
The son of Hokage flipped in the air and landed safely on the floor, while Kai got back to his feet, basically unharmed. Seeing all this Galu smirked under his nose: "Well, mister Dead Last isn't doing so bad… maybe he really can match-up Senkou?" and with that he gazed at Kokoro, who merely stared at him for a moment, before shaking his head in disagreement. The green-haired gennin narrowed his eyes at this, slightly surprised: "Is there something that I don't know?"
"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" Kai called out again, creating four clones of himself while Senkou charged right at him. All blondes came at the masked gennin at once, throwing kicks ad punches at their opponent, yet the son of Hokage moved too fast for any of the blows to actually reach its target, making the loud mouth's annoyance grow.
Finally the silver-haired boy decided to counter and before Kai could react, one of his clones got grabbed by the shirt and tossed over Senkou's shoulder, hitting the floor hard. Surprisingly enough, the masked gennin followed his movement even after the blonde disappeared in the cloud of white smoke, and flipping right above the ground, he delivered a scissor kick from above to the next bushin's head, disposing of him as well.
Upon landing safely on his feet, Senkou threw his elbows back. As both attacks connected, he spun on his foot and before the clones even got he chance to disappear, he jumped up and making a split, he kicked the two blondes into their faces, sending them flying back and getting covered in smoke before they touched the ground.
"Damn, that guy's fast!" Kusari's eyes widen in surprise while Senkou calmly turn around to face the real blonde, who stood few meters away from him. "Even without the Body Flicker, Kai can't really keep up…it's almost as if he just gets faster and faster!"
"Clearly Kai has greater chakra among and most likely is more resistant, however all of that is useless if he can't land a blow" Kumiko analyzed the situation quickly as she narrowed her eyes and grabbed her chin. "If he could keep up with Senkou, there's a chance he'll win, but without fulfilling that requirement, the upper hand belong to his opponent…"
"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" Kai yelled again, this time creating just one clone. Senkou let out a sigh as he lowered and shook his head. The sliver-haired boy then gazed at his opponent and as calm as ever, he announced: "Maybe it's rude to say, but one would think you'd learn by now that your clones won't give you much…"
"Perhaps they won't…" began the original Kai while his bushin run in the opposite direction to where Senkou stood. "Perhaps they will!" and the instant the blonde said that, his clone spun on his foot and jump forward. The moment it went by its creator, the loud mouth grabbed it by the arm and also spun on his foot, taking the other blonde along.
With forming a full circle, Kai literally blasted his clone at Senkou, making it fly at the speed that made the masked gennin widen his eyes in surprise, only getting enough time to block a spin kick that was aimed at his face. As the attack rammed into his hands, the son of Hokage saw the real blonde suddenly appearing behind him, throwing a punch at his back.
"His speed!" was the only thought that went through Senkou's mind before Kai's attack connected, making pain shoot from his spine. Meanwhile the bushin already landed on his feet and now it delivered a powerful kick into the masked boy's chin, thus sending him flying into the air.
As he flew, Senkou flipped and grabbed the original Kai by the collar. Breaking his flight, the masked gennin delivered a kick into the blonde's back and let go, thus making the loud mouth lose his balance and ram his own clone. Both fell to the ground, while the silver-haired boy landed safely a meter or two away.
In a flash Kai jumped up, with his clone following in his footsteps a moment later. As the two of them were now above Senkou, the bushin instantly performed a henge and changed into a Fuuma Shuriken, allowing the original to grab it and threw it straight at the masked gennin.
Yet Senkou merely smirked under his mask and prepared to grab the incoming, shinobi star in mid-flight. However he didn't predicted what happened an instant later: suddenly Kai performed a quick, hand seal and before the son of Hokage knew it, the shuriken that flew at him changed into the original blonde, who spun in the air and delivered a spin kick into his left cheek, thus sending him flying to the side.
The silver-haired boy came to a sliding stop, as he used his left hand as a break and then settled his eyes on the blonde, completely forgetting the clone, that to his unawareness, was coming at him from behind, preparing his fists. Only thanks to the shadow the bushin cast on the wall did Senkou managed to realize what was happening in time and ducked right under the incoming punch.
Instantly he grabbed the clone by the hand it used o attack him and tossed the bushin over his shoulder, making it land hard on the floor and thus disappear in the cloud of white smoke. In a flash he jumped forward and bouncing of the ground by using his hands, he aimed a scissor kick at the surprised blonde's head.
Acting on instinct, Kai also jumped up and flipping in the sky, he kicking Senkou's leg from above, thus bringing it down a bit sooner then the masked gennin wanted it to. Creating an opening, the blonde instantly smashed his fist into his opponent's face, which send him flying back, yet before the two broke, the silver-haired boy managed to grab the loud mouth's hand that hit his face and took his adversary for the ride as well.
As they came flying at the wall, Senkou tossed the blonde over his back, sending him at the brick wall first, yet to his great dismal, Kai managed to somersault in time and landed safely on his feet, bouncing off immediately and coming straight at the unprepared son of Hokage.
Having his back turned towards the ground, Senkou somersaulted and well, making Kai's attack go right beneath him and then slamming his leg into the blonde's back while he flew bellow him, thus sending him flying at the ground, while he used that momentum to bounce off and land on the wall, sticking to it by using chakra in his feet.
Meanwhile Kai flipped too and barely landed with his feet first, making pain shoot through them the instant he landed, yet aside from that he managed to avoid serious damage. Seeing this, Ibuki only smirked under her nose: "That pinhead actually manage to somehow adjust his reactions to Senkou's speed… it's not like he can really keep up, but he's getting there. Kai can really win this!"
Hitomi also smiled at the sight, yet said nothing. Uramaru started barking loudly, but Tsume merely stroked him softly and with a calm voice, he spoke, gaining the dog's attention: "Don't worry boy… even above his improvements, Kai still can't match Senkou. Our friend still has a trick up his sleeve…"
"Kai, you've become strong" announced Senkou as he crawled down slightly. "I'll admit this much. However, regardless to everything, the one who's stronger is still me. You fought well and gave me a bit of trouble, so in order to show you my respect that I've gained for you, I'll give you a warning: my next technique is not one you'll manage to dodge. However using it will also result in your death, so I'll give you this one, last chance to give up. It'd be wiser…"
"Sorry, Senkou, but I'm a stubborn idiot" the blonde replied with a smile as he gazed at the son of Hokage. "Besides, after reaching this far, I don't feel like surrendering is an option. So what do you say we finish this?"
"Very well… however do not say I haven't warn you" the masked gennin replied and then began a quick set of hand seals. A weird, electric current started to surround his hands as a strangely familiar sound reached Naruto's ears. Upon realizing what it was, the blonde jounin's eyes widen is surprise as he set them on the son of Hokage: "This can't be!"
Kakashi merely lowered his head as he noticed what his son was about to do. A worried expression crossed Hinata's face, while Mikka let out a yelp before covering her mouth: "Senkou-kun, please don't! That jutsu… do you really wish to kill Kai-kun? This is not like you the day we meet…"
A cutting sound filled the air as electricity now embraced Senkou's right hand. Kai felt the air suddenly getting heavy for some reason, almost like a premonition of a tragedy. Sweat began appearing all over his body as a thought that he may have made a mistake by refusing his opponent's offer crossed his mind. He then gazed at the masked gennin, whose face became grim as he instantly charged right at the blonde with a wild cry: "Chidori!"
---a shocking turn of events… what will become of Kai?---
