Chapter 10: Chakra

We were outside waiting for Hibari to get done with the rest of the students. After a while, she came out and put both hands to the sides of her mouth so everyone can hear her, "Ok, that's all of the participants signed up! It's 7:10pm now, use this time to prepare briefly! There will be no going back once it starts! It's every team for themselves afterwards!"

After Hibari's announcement, I heard a voice call out to me, "Renka? Is that you?"

I swerve my head towards the direction of the voice and saw my little sister Hanabi coming towards me. I felt my face twist into bafflement as she finally came to a halt in front of me, "H-Hanabi?! What are you doing here?!"

Hanabi smiled and made a swirling motion with her pointer finger towards the ground, "I could ask the same of you. I thought you were still trying to learn the basics." Ouch, the fact that she had to remind me that I was behind even my baby sister stung a bit.

I winced, rubbing the back of my head sheepishly as I felt my ears turning pink behind my hair, "Well, I've got some of the basics down but nothing to write home about..." I bring my fist to my mouth to cough into it, giving Kat a side glance. The girl almost instantly looked away, whistling like she did nothing wrong… uh huh, keep thinking that.

Hanabi clapped her hand with enough force to make me jump, "That's still great! Way to go, sis!" Hanabi threw her arms around me and gave a tight squeeze, but when she realized what she was doing, she backed off instantly, "S-Sorry Renka. I- wait… hold on a moment... You didn't try to push me away." As the realization came to her a big dorky smile spread across her lips.

I gave her a nod, "Don't worry about it. I don't mind hugs now." That didn't necessarily mean that I like hugs, but I tolerate them now.

Hanabi's grin became so wide that I started to worry that she would pull a muscle, "That's great! So what're you doing here? I would figure you wouldn't be strong enough to enter a big tournament like this." Again sis… ouch.

I just looked away, too embarrassed to explain, "It's a loooong story." It was then I saw the number 150 on Hanabi's badge, "Looks like you're taking part in this too." Strange, she didn't tell me, or if she did I had forgotten about it.

Hanabi gave a nod of affirmation, "Yeah, my team is over there." She soon pointed out her team, "Not the group right in front of us, they're wayyyyy over by that big rock.

I follow her pointing and arched my neck until I saw a young man with the number 148 on his badge, and a girl next to him with 149 on hers. They seemed okay, the guy was preoccupied sitting on the rock and admiring something on his shoe and the girl gave me a brief wave. Hanabi looks to Kat and Minori, "So this is your team Renka?"

I gave a slight nod to Hanabi, "Yeah, the blond is Kat, and the little one is Minori..."

Kat smiles and interrupts our talk, "So you're Hanabi, huh? You're the one that explodes when she thinks too hard?"

Hanabi's eyes grew to comical size, "G-Gaaaahhhh! I do what now? When was that ever a thing?" Oh my poor sister.

I facepalmed, "Hanabi, remember our house fire when you were four?"

Hanabi puts her hands to her face and ears turning a bright shade of pink and slowly traveling to the rest of her face, "W-What?! That was me?" I don't blame her for not remembering, I can barely remember what I had for lunch last week, let alone what I did at four.

Kat let out a chuckle to divert the attention back to her, "Hiya, I'm Katsuragi Kobayashi, but you can just call me Kat! Nice to meet'cha!"

A voice suddenly repeated, "Katsuragi Kobayashi?" We all look to see Hanabi's female teammate approach us. The 149 badge shined brightly, "Excuse me, but did you say your name is Katsuragi Kobayashi?"

Kat looked straight at the girl with no hesitation, "I did. That's who I am. Who's asking?"

At that point, I looked between the two girls and saw a lot of similarities between them. The girl had long black hair, as long as Kat's hair. The girl even had a red ribbon in her hair, just the same way that Kat had her blue ribbon. She had red eyes, which were the opposite of Kat's blue ones. The girl also had iron greaves on her too, albeit a bit smaller and they were red and gold, but unlike Kat, she had gauntlets on her hands that were also the same color.

Kat noticed all this too and her eyebrow rose halfway up her forehead, "Nice style you've got there? What's your name cutie?"

The girl blushed at the cutie remark but quickly recovered, "My name is Ayame Sasamoto. It's so nice to finally meet you, Master Kat." Wait- hold the- what the- WHAT?!

We all couldn't help but be taken aback that this Ayame girl called Kat, Master Kat. Even Kat herself was a bit taken aback by this, "M-Master? I don't remember ever taking on a student." I could almost feel her holding back a "besides Renka-honey", as if scared it would trigger an unpleasant reaction.

Ayame start switching from foot-to-foot that looked too much like the potty dance and squealed, "Yes I know that! But I've been training endlessly since I got to this school a month ago! I've donned the same weapon, similar fighting style and I'm even a wind user! I even have the same hobby as you." She dramatically pointed at Kat and I felt dread overwhelm my body… please don't tell me- "I grope and grab boobs as often as I can. I want to be just like you, Master Kat!"

My mouth hung open for a second, "I never thought I'd meet another girl that was just like you, Kat." My hand slowly went up to my eyes to rub them in exasperation, one Kat was enough in my life.

Kat kind of chuckled, but it was high pitched and weirdly patterned, as if she was still not sure of what to make of this, "Y-yeah, I didn't think so either."

All it took was for me to blink once before I noticed Ayame's gaze shifted to somewhere else, "Psst, Kat. She's not looking at your face anymore."

Kat noticed this and her head slowly tilted almost like a parrot, "She really is like me then..."

Ayame sighed, "Ahhh, Master Kat... So well endowed. 37", 22", 35", about a 67.5 H. I'd give anything to touch them..." I'm praying she doesn't.

I deadpanned almost instantly, 'She really is just like Kat...'

Kat chuckles, seemingly full of amusement, "So you know my measurements and cup size? Just what are yours?"

Ayame blinked a few times before her eyes became wide, "You mean you can't tell just by looking?" Oh okay, so she's shocked- wait, why is she shocked?

It was then Kat's turn to be surprised, "Tell just by looking? What do you mean by that?"

The darker haired girl nodded vigorously before pounding her fist against her chest proudly, "That's my superpowers. I can look at any opponents body and tell you what size any part of them is. Like, take Hanabi's sister for example."

I quickly snapped to attention, "What?"

Ayame looked straight at me and her eyes turned pure white, as she looked up and down my body, "Alright then… let's see... 37", 23", 32". That would put you around a 68G."

Kat smirked at Ayame impressed, "That's your powers?"

Ayame nodded, and then turned her head to look back to me, "I'm right, aren't I?"

I couldn't say anything but, "How the hell should I know? I never knew my size to begin with!" I don't get my breasts measured, not like all the stores are consistent anyway! If it fits I buy, that's my motto for bras.

Ayame scoffed, "Well, in any case, my powers remove any piece of clothing from the target to accurately gauge them properly."

I quickly spoke out, "Removes any piece of clothing? Can you see me naked?" Is this normal in the shinobi world? How many kunoichi get perverted powers like that- I don't even want to know how many guys get them, let alone my own sex. I had to stop myself from glaring at my sister as she broke into a fit of giggles.

Ayame shakes her head and does this hourglass figure motion in my direction, "Not entirely. It sort of gives you this plastic doll effect, you know the ones you can strip and dress up? Every defining feature is sacrificed all so I can accurately gauge the target."

My voice fell to an annoyed mumble, "Can this even be used in battle?" Beside me Hanabi let out another intense set of giggles, "Care to share with the class what's so funny?"

Hanabi tilted her head, "She uses it as a distraction sometimes, and it helps us figure out if someone has a kink in their body structure or is using fake limbs."

Kat clapped her hands together, "Thats amazing!"

I rolled my head and let out a long groan, "Maybe for you. You're not the one being stripped here..."

Hibari's voice called out to get everyone's attention, "Five minutes till the preliminary round begins! Everyone get ready!"

Hanabi gave me a thumbs up, "Well, good luck Renka!"

I smiled, "Thanks, you too."

Ayame's eyes reverted back, "I look forward to fighting you in the tournament Master Kat. Don't you go losing to anyone here, I won't forgive you if you do."

Kat chuckled with a shake of her head, "I won't lose to anyone here. That includes you."

Ayame gave one last smile, then soon left with Hanabi with a little skip in her step. As soon as the five minutes expired, Hibari called out, "The preliminary round of the Kohana Tournament starts now!"

Kat took off into the forest around Mt. Orochi and we followed her closely behind, always checking behind us and to the side. We followed Kat for a good while until she randomly stopped at a wall. She stared up at the wall as if it was the bane of her existence, "Shit! There's an out of bounds?"

I looked at the wall, "An out of bounds? What does that mean?"

Suddenly I noticed my of the corner of my eye, I noticed Minori bouncing around, "Minori, are you okay?"

Minori quickly stammered, "I-I'm fine. W-Weren't we gonna head to Kat's house since it's in the forest?"

Kat sighed and pressed her forearm against the wall, "That's where I was headed until I found this barrier. My house is this way, beyond the out of bounds."

My shoulders slumped in disappointment, "That means we can't use your house as a base right? Oh well."

Minori didn't like hearing that and had gotten irritated, "What do you mean 'oh well'? I was hoping we'd get there!" Woah, I did not expect that tone to escape such a tiny body.

Kat scratched one of her cheeks, "Well, maybe we can go around then? But I've got no idea why you're so hell-bent on getting to my house, Minori."

Minori quickly chimed out, "No real reason!"

Kat gave Minori a skeptical look and Minori saw this, "W-What's that look for, Kat?!" I swear this was all too familiar...

Kat smiled, "Nothing. Let's just go."

We soon began to walk around the barrier I looked to Minori, "Minori, are you sure you're alright?"

Minori blushed and quickly snapped at me, "I said I was fine! Just drop it already!"

I was not in the mood to deal with that kind of attitude, "Fine!"

After about ten minutes of walking, Kat sighs, "Aw, man. We're just getting further and further away."

Minori looked to Kat with a mixture of bafflement and frustration, "What?! Aw, come on! I can't hold it for very much longer!"

We both gave Minori the same look of 'Oh shit' and I was the first to speak, "D-Don't tell me you have to pee right now?"

Minori's face turned red to the point that it resembled an apple, but she slowly nodded after giving in to our gazes. Kat was the next to speak, "Why didn't you go before we left?"

Minori did the usual dance, "I didn't have to go then..." This felt like taking a child on a long road trip with no nearby toilets in sight.

I sighed and Kat points to one of the bushes, "Minori, there's a bush over there. Just pee in there, I promise we won't look."

Minori blushed and began to shuffle her feet, "B-but, that's…" She let out a small whine sound, her face seemingly twisted as if the idea of peeing so close to other girls was as painful as holding it in.

I pinched the bridge of my nose, "Then how about you go into the forest a little bit more, there are other bushes. You're going to have deathly health problems keeping it in like that." I emphasized on the word 'deadly' and allowed it to sink in the severity of being stubborn, "We'll wait here for you."

Minori inhaled at a rate that I could have sworn would have given her a nosebleed. Squaring her shoulder she quickly nodded and hobbled into the forest until she was out of sight. Wait, that's too far.

I cupped my hands around my mouth to yell at her, "Can you still hear me? Yell if you can!"

Kat suddenly called out to me, "Leave her be. She needs to mature if she's going to survive more than a day out here. If she can't handle peeing around other girls then the rest of the tournament is going to be hell for her.." Her voice came out like the crack of a whip, snappish and impatient.

I looked back at Kat shocked she even said something like that, "K-Kat! She's our teammate. We need her and she needs us to support her. What's so hard to understand that some people have different comfort zones?!" Besides, it's not her fault that she was forced into the tournament.

Kat suddenly looked at me with a look of a fury that I have never seen on her face before, "What would you know!? You were raised to accept that idea! Your parents are all fine and were there to teach you that kind of stuff! But mine, mine are…." She bit her lip to the point where blood came out. She then took three long strides to stand before me and I saw tears falling down her face, "Mine have a bounty on their heads, just for refusing a mission that involved the mass murder of an entire remote village! They weren't there! That's why I don't know how to care for someone that can't handle the little things!"

I took a step back, my eyes softening as I examined my strong friend expose a more… more vulnerable side of her, "Kat, I had no idea. You never said anything about that."

But before we could get into this subject any further, Minori's screams echoed through the forest. I looked back, "That was Minori!"

Even Kat was worried, "Quick, let's go see if she is okay!"

We both ran to where Minori's screams echoed out from and saw a giant snake. My hands shot up to cover mouth upon seeing this thing, "T-There's no creature like this in this forest." It took all of my willpower not to scream at the sight of this thing.

Suddenly Kat had her greaves on, "There is, after all, why do you think this place is called Mt. Orochi?" Kat eye's turned shocked and she looked to me, "Renka-Honey, look in its mouth!"

I looked up and saw Minori's dangling legs protruding out of the snakes out, I froze up at the sight of it, "Minori!"

Kat suddenly charged forward past me, and I jumped, "K-Katsuragi?"

Kat jumped feet first straight at the snake, her feet were close together like a missile aiming for its target until the point of impact. The moment she was in range Kat spread her legs and created a clean slash through the snake's throat and decapitated it. Blood spurted out of the snake's throat as Kat landed on the ground along with the body thudding behind her.

I ran over to the head and heard a muffled, "Kat? Renka? Is that you? Get me out of here!" I even heard the faint sound of what sounded like water hitting the ground and suddenly I felt sorry for poor Minori.

I quickly pried open the jaws and Minori got up and looked at me as I let her out, releasing the jaws once she was clear. Minori stared at us for a few moments, before tears welled in her eyes and an uncontrollable sob escaped her throat. With a soft sigh and a fond smile I gently patted her head. Kat breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, at least she's safe."

Once we settled Minori and helped her clean up, we continued to follow the barrier for the out of bounds. The barrier seemed almost endless for a time, and the same texture used throughout the whole thing became disorientating after some time. As we arrived at a major turn, we saw someone we didn't think we would see during this preliminary round. Kat smirked upon seeing the white-haired female shinobi, "Well well well, if it isn't Yagyu. I was hoping to see you again."

Yagyu scoffed, "Leave it to you guys to pounce on me the moment I find one of these."

We looked and saw one of the flags we sought in Yagyu's hand. I was flabbergasted, "No way! Already!?"

Kat's smirk grew, "I've been waiting for an excuse to put you in your place."

Yagyu gave us an unamused look, "Put me in my place? I hope you don't mean that you're gonna do that by yourself, because the way you are now, you won't even touch me." She wagged her finger in a tsk tsk motion before returning her hand to her hip.

Kat threw her head back in a laugh as she summons her greaves, "We shall see about that."

I needed to defuse this situation and fast, "Kat, don't. She's already gotten through your guard once."

Kat gave me a dismissive wave, "Things'll be different now that I'm ready. That fluke won't happen again."

Yagyu gave a slight smirk, cocking her head to the side, "That's all you thought that was?"

Kat got ready to pounce, "Don't worry Renka-Honey. This will be over in five seconds."

Before Kat had the chance to pounce, Yagyu was instantly in front of her. Her right hand shot out with her index finger sticking out touching Kat's forehead. Minori and I back off instantly, but we noticed Kat wasn't moving, so I called out, "Kat, get away from there. Before she tries something else!"

Kat still didn't move, "I-I can't. I can't move my body. Not one bit."

Yagyu looked at her finger surprised, "You're still alive?"

Minori and I knew that if she could paralyze Kat, there was nothing we could do. Yagyu scoffs, "Must be running low on chakra."

Kat looked at Yagyu, "Ch-Chakra?"

I had to be sure even I heard that right, "Don't you mean Ki?"

Yagyu smiles evilly, "So you three indeed know nothing of chakra." A low laugh penetrated the air and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, "It's laughable really, and you call yourself shinobi."

I felt rage soon bubbling up inside me and settled itself right next to its neighbor, fear, but I knew I couldn't do anything even if I tried. Yagyu had this power called chakra on her side, and it was enough to paralyze Kat.

Yagyu closed her eyes, "I am running low on chakra, that shot should've killed you blondie. I'm gonna need more chakra if I'm gonna do that." She seemed more interested in talking to herself than actually to Kat.

At blinding speeds, Yagyu's hand shot out and snatched the bottom of Kat's uniform shirt and lifted it up so fast that the bra underneath got pulled up too. As a result Kat's bare breasts were out there for the world to see. I felt my face heat up at the sight and I started to stammer as my brain was slowing down all thought, "J-Just what do y-you think you are d-doing!?"

Yagyu laughed out loudly in an almost sadistic manner, "What does it look like?" Yagyu put her mouth on Kat's breast covering her nipple and soon suckling sounds entered my ears. I looked away after hearing strange sounds coming from Kat but soon looked back after I heard Yagyu choke and coughed violently as if something was lodged in her throat. Yagyu spit something out of her mouth, some green goop of almost jello consistency landed on the grass with a sickening plop.

Yagyu wipes her mouth and glares at Kat, still coughing between breaths, "Disgusting… that was so dry, but I guess that's to be expected of a wind users' chakra. No wonder I hated your guts the first time I saw you. I hate all wind users and all the dry chakra they produce…" Yagyu's whole body violently shuddered as she gagged, "Ugh, I can still taste it."

The goop began to glow as Yagyu put Kat's shirt down, I could hear a few seams start to rip as it wasn't exactly a gentle tug. Kat, even though she was strained, managed to get out, "I-I have chakra!?"

Yagyu looked at the two of us next, "Let's see if you two have better chakra than your friend here."

At that moment I quickly looked to Minori, "Minori, run! I'll distract her!"

Before any of us could do anything, Yagyu paralyzed us both quickly. She shook her head while clicking her tongue in disappointment, "Well, that's the last of my chakra, but let's see if I can get any more from you two."

Since Yagyu paralyzed Minori last, Yagyu lifted Minori's uniform shirt next. Minori could barely make sounds of protest as her breasts were now out, and Yagyu wasted no time in doing the same thing she did to Kat to Minori. But soon spit out hers, this goop was clear, "Bleck... light user chakra. Another of my hated chakra types. What's with everyone having disgusting chakras?"

Yagyu put Minori's shirt down now, and then after she was right near me next, with an evil smirk on her face. I immediately tried to move as my body felt strained as I spoke, "B-Bitch, you better n-not."

Yagyu chuckled and crossed her arms across her chest, "So, are you gonna tell me what your element is then? It'll make things a little easier. So I don't have to taste every second-hand slop some shinobi call chakra." Yagyu's hand gripped the bottom of my uniform shirt next, "which will it be?"

In a moment of weakness, one I still regret to this day, I looked away and forced out the words, "T-Thunder."

Yagyu released my shirt after that, "Well, I don't hate thunder users chakra, but it always leaves a nasty aftertaste in my mouth."

Yagyu turned away from me with a wave of her hand, "None of you have the type of chakra I like, so I'll be going now. I hope you all enjoyed a demonstration of the world you threw never knew about."

Yagyu left us there still paralyzed, it was at that point I realized how powerless I truly was. How can I even look at my friends when I chose to save myself? , "GOD DAMN IT!" I'm weak, I gave up the second I saw Yagyu going for my chest.

After the paralysis wore off I fell to my knees as Minori and Kat rushed over to me as soon as they saw me fall. Kat was the first to call out, "Renka-Honey, are you okay?"

I looked up after hearing the worry in Kat's voice, "I should be asking you that! Are you okay after she did that to you?" I did a once-over of her body, "I can't believe she did that to you guys!"

Kat checks her person, "Everything feels the same. I do feel a bit lighter, but that's it."

Minori was the first to point out what we were all thinking, "So chakra can be taken out through our boobies then?"

Kat shook her head but put her fingers to her lips in thought, "I don't know if that's the only way, but whatever chakra is, it felt like liquid heat was being sucked out." I felt a shudder going through my body at the thought, it didn't help that it looked like jello.

Minori blushed, "Y-Yeah. It felt like that for me too."

Kat smiled, "And since Renka-Honey gave Yagyu what she wanted, she avoided this."

I shook my head, "No, it should've happened to me too. But I've always been really sensitive when it comes to my chest... So even imagining something like this is..."

Kat put a hand on my shoulder and looked at me reassuringly, "Don't worry about it Renka-Honey. I don't blame you for being a bit scared. Truth be told, I would've done the same thing."

Minori looks away, "Me too..."

Kat takes her hand off my shoulder and looks down the new path we're gonna head down, "Well, let's go. This turning point in the barrier is a good thing. Maybe it'll backtrack to my house now, and if that's the case, we can use it as a base of operations while we plan our next move."

I stood up, "I won't fail you guys again. Next time, I'll face the enemy we have with one hundred percent of my power. That I promise you." And if that girl came near us again… hopefully she won't mind her head being away from her body.

Kat smirked, "I'll hold you to it then Renka-Honey. We're gonna need you and Minori if we want to succeed in this tournament."

I nodded and Minori spoke, "But let's ask about chakra the next time we see a teacher."

Kat nodded, "We will. No worries. We'll get to the bottom of this."
