Im sorry for my average english. This is not my first and even second language. And anyway, I decided to write this story for the sake of improving it. Thank you very much.
"So what are the rules of this test? From how way you smile maliciously, this does not presage well for our team. I'm not against such grotty methods, but mistress "Highness" can't endure to have the floor wiped with her." - Tobio groaned impatiently with a laugh, sitting in the lotus position, specifically mentioned Kurotsuchi title, who immediately looked at him with a frown face.
'I can't believe that her so easily pissed off.' - Tobio pondered and showing Kurotsuchi tongue.
Less than a few second and fist landed on his head, forcing the boy to bite tongue. He didnot get how to handle with this pain and therefore grabbed head starting to rolled over the ground.
The picture was so funny that it got the seemingly always balanced and serious Hayao to restrain himself from giving students evidence that he really knows how to laugh.
"Oh my gosh, did I hurt you?" - the girl with sparkling eyes asked Tobio who finally came to sense, delivering this girl a look soaked with hatred and resentment.
"Don't tempt your fate, boy-kun. You just got lucky hit" - he exclaimed and descend on the grass, surprised that their sensei still deaf ear to their dispute.
If thought about it, that seemed to him that Hayao-sensei lips was twitching now. Apparently, this man was really amused by such small conflict between his students.
Because Hayao hilarious face, for Tobio situation has become so absurd and confused. It got to the point where a weird thought arose in his head that he was currently under genjutsu effect.
'Kai' - he snorted mentally and fold hand seal, but world around him did not change.
Kurotsuchi didn't was offended by brunette words. She just get up head and grinned intending to win their non-contact war.
"What are you talking about, dummy. I missed!" - arrogantly said pink-eyed girl said and crossing her arms.
Teenager with Hanten help completed tongue treatment and stretching finger the girl direction, looked at sensei with puppy eyes.
"YO Hayao-sensei. I guess we must to work on princess accuracy. Her accuracy is also bad as style fashion." - Tobio replied playfully, giving the finger to his teammate
After that, he saw how Kurotsuchi lowered head and clench fists tightly. A red aura start to appear around her, what reminding him of another legendary anime world.
The wary also was also passed to the other two members of his team. Even Hayao, who participated in the Third Shinobi World War, was got to wipe the beads of sweat that had gathered in his forehead.
'Huh? Does she Haki user?'
"Tobio-kun, could you repeat your previous words? Mayhaps I couldn't hear it correctly." - smiling beautiful, this girl chirped in a clear voice, approaching to the teenager position who tilted head to the side in confusion.
'Uh, why is my self-preservation instinct alarmed, but I don't see anything dangerous?' - Tobio scratched head in disbelief, looking at sensei, who was trying to show him something with gestures.
At the same time, a mythical head in an ONI mask appeared behind Kurotsuchi, who smiled at a boy terribly, but only Hayao and Akio noticed this figure.
"Repeat words that you have a terrible choosing clothes and hairstyles taste? You know, if I hadn't heard rumors about Tsuchikage's granddaughter, the first time when we met, I would have mistaken you with a boy." - he said with a smile and half-closed eyes, involuntarily crossing his arms. In turn, he also released his aura, which, as his kasan said, looked "terrifyingly-suffocating."
He remembered that kasan described this form as the mythical demon Nukekubi, which looked like a beautiful girl in a kimono with long hair. However, the teenager could never believe what this woman was talking about.
"Oh sensei, is it just my fantasy, or are ONI and Nukekubi standing behind them?" - Akio asked in a whisper, pulling Hayao-sensei sleeve, hiding behind a large man back.
These words brought Kuro with Tobio attention and their flashing demonic auras disappeared without a trace as well as did the burning remnants of celestial bodies that enter the earth's atmosphere.
At the moment, Gobi jinchuriki looked like a small and trembling white puppy put in the rain. This picture made Kurotsuchi with Tobio laugh, who were standing a meter apart and now focused glances on their now pale and scared friend.
Tobio lazily rubbed eyes and exchanged stupid glances with Kurotsuchi, who also puzzled. After sharing small nods with each other, they shrugged and set their gaze on sensei. Brunette let girl with pink eyes to raise her hand.
"Hey sensei, what does BAKAkio talking about? Who are ONI and Nukekubi?" - the girl asked with interest after tilting her body forward, trying to push her chest. Tobio, who was also in this interaction, repeated after her and put hand to his ear.
The situation became so goofy that their sensei had to clear throat and regain composure.
"Nevermind let's talk about it in the next time..." - said the tall man rubbing the back of his head and walked one of the training pillars on which the clock stood.
Without hesitation, Tobio and 2 teammates obediently, like little ducklings, moved forward, exchanging strange looks as if asking each other if anyone knows what will happen next.
However, if Akio and Kurotsuchi got huge enthusiasm. He strongly doubted that the future test boded well to them.
Instead, he tried to remember the mention of the demon which Akio had seen behind his back
'Oh come on, I'll never gonna believe that when I released killing intent, this "NUKEKUBI" appeared behind me.' - put hands into his pockets, he noticed a small stone on the ground and In irritation kicked it, accidentally hitting directly into Kurotsuchi.
"AAAAAAAAA." - the girl grabbing her ass immediately turned gaze in Tobio direction and stretched out her fist in a threatening.
"Stop staring at me like my mom, boy-kun. I did it accidentally and really excuse on you." - said Tobio in calm tone with a excuse expression and gently patted her on the shoulder, trying to look as guilty as possible.
Crossing fingers and hoping that he had managed to calm this always hot-tempered girl , he walked past with a great desire to finally start this stupid test.
"If you call me boy-kun, then I'll call you girly-chan. Your long hair and strange bangs only proof my arguments." - she sassy walked up to Tobio and looked at him with a proud expression.
"I don't mind, at least I'm cute and I have chest, unlike you, flat-chested" - Tobio dexclaimed with a brash smile, shocking his sensei and Akio, who, upon hearing that, stopped having a lively talking about possibilities of creating a wind release jutsu.
Just by looking at this girl, the boy assumed that had slightly crossed the line because now he was got to slowly back away in fear. Goosebumps ran down on his spine as Kuro cracked fingers and put on a smile which telling him he had better run.
Swallowing hard and got that it was crap, Tobio decided not to stop. Convulsively, he start to run eyes between the best friend and sensei, begging them for help, but received a refusal. It was written on their faces that he had to handle this on his own. And also that they will take care of his grave.
'The traitors, I will definitely take revenge, bot not now... ' - Tobio was offended, but to great fear, his back hit a tree, which caused the pink-eyed demon to laugh hysterically.
"Now be a good boy and take your punishment, jerk." - she sing in an uncharacteristically hoarse voice for a 15-year-old teenager, quickly jumping towards him with her outstretched fist.
For the next few minutes, Tobio under his sensei and Akio watch ran around the training ground with difficulty avoiding kunai and lava balls.
Finally landing so that Hayao blocked the line to Kurotsuchi, he hid behind sensei broad back and slightly poked head.
"Sensei, I promise to complete all the stupidest missions, but please save me from princess. A little bit and she will definitely hit me. Even if her aim is terrible, she will only make it from the probability theory." - Tobio joked teasingly, showing Kurotsuchi tongue that further irritating her.
Akio saved everyone from another chasing round, imperceptibly approached Kurotsuchi from behind like a snake and gently laid her on the ground, tightly tying her hands.
He had to do it at sensei's request, otherwise they would never have started their training.
"LET ME GO, WALKING SCARECROW, I'M GONNA CRUSH THIS BUG." - like an exploding volcano, a girl screamed with burning eyes, looking at Tobio, who was giving her 2 thumbs up.
Tobio enjoyed the situation cause once again he always managed to get under the skin of a short-haired girl.
Even from a distance, the teenager could hear how girl's teeth grind.
'She looks cute when being angry. It was like I was back in school days, when I glued girls sneakers to the floor'
"Chill on Kuro-chan, if you continue your lovers tliff, we will never start our trainings." - their sensei said calmly, allowing Akio to release Kurotsuchi.
The man's words immediately caused a wave of indignation from sweet girl, who crossed her arms and puffed out cheeks, expressing silent dissatisfaction with such situation.
However, Tobio managed to catch moment when Kurotsuchi was carefully looking at him. Brunette smiled at her, forcing girl to look away.
"Dilly-ding, dilly-dong Kuro-chan, I am aware of my appeal, but I am sure that polygamous marriage idea will not attract Tayuya, in my look, she is too possessive. Besides, Deidara-senpai will rip my head off if I lay eyes on you."
"Yadda-yadda, before you continue your roleplay games, I'm explaining rules of this test. Look at he clock" - cutted broad-shouldered man in a serious tone now, clapping his hands.
"""HAI SENSEI""" - Tobio and his other two companions shouted in unison.
"The rules are simple. After the clock alert, our cute medic chooses his opponent and until a clock gives another signal, he will spar with first opponent. At this time, the other couple is doing the same thing. The winner of the test will be the one who remains standing last. The purpose of this test is to teach you how to quickly adapt to new situations. Tobio, I forbid you to use kekkei-genkai and ranshinsho. Is everything clear?"
Tobio had to holding a heavy sigh because of such thing. It became absolutely clear that now he would have to use only general ninja skills. The boy was sure that without Hanten, the whole his fighting strategy would completely change.
Just looking at the team m, he cross his arms in displeasure and puffed cheeks. It became clear that Hayao-sensei did this with purpose to forcing Tobio to overcome his limit.
'Well, now that my cheats and toys have been taken away... ugh.. Thank you a lot, sensei'
"So Titi-kun, who will you choose first?" - Hayao said with a malicious smile, blurting out T-obio T-endo childhood nickname, which only people close to his family knew about.
DING
""Titi?"" - Akio and Kuro laughed synchronously, but after a the moment girl had to dodge Tobio attack.
The teenager barely able to hold back a groan of protest when sensei revealed one of his the most embarrassing secrets. That was the only reason why he recklessly attacked Kuro, who was very astonished by such pressure.
But it would seem that Kurotsuchi could have prevented and read any Tobio attack from start.
The boy unconsciously got distracted by fireball behind him in exchange punches time and missed a strong uppercut that knocked him off balance.
"Hey Tihi-kun, hehehehehehe. You better not get distracted." - Kurotsuchi snapped, quickly rushing in his direction, not forgetting to mention the brunette shameful nickname.
"Be quiet Kuro-chan otherwise, both Akio and sensei will get about how you in childhood sneaky stole Tsuchikage-sama hat and shouted at the whole house that you are now the leader of village... Ohhh... My bad... I accidentally done it." - Tobio teasingly exclaimed flashing eyes covering mouth with palm after hearing loud chuckles in the background.
When he became aware of such a funny fact, he barely hardly restrain laugh in front of Onoki and almost disrupted their training. People who was near to him were in the same position, and only piercing gaze of their leader prevented all the fun.
"Stupid gobbler, how can you know that?" - Kurotsuchi demanded in a loud voice, forming a few hand seals and launching the lava balls towards him.
Tobio had to instinctively use earth release and raise a stone dome around himself, which completely blocked vision in front of him.
Unfortunately, he didn't even had a little time to catch his breath because the stone wall fall. Kurotsuchi took advantage of dusty curtain and immediately rushed towards him.
From Tobio movements was obviously clear that he didn't feel any comfort from having to confine himself.
'Damn, I don't know what should I do. It was like I was skating for the first time and went out on the ice.' - the boy cursed lazily, hitting a straight jab right on the pink-eyed princess chin, sending her into a small knockdown.
"Oh, do is our sweet chibi-kage hurt? Do you wanna my help, honey?" - Tobio was jumping merrily on his toes like boxers do and at the same time was astonished that combination of several kicks with a jeb paid off.
However, even with such playful behavior, Tobio barely refrain from cry in disappointment. Not only was he forbidden from using Hanten, but also because Hayao insisted that he must find out a way out of difficult situations. The situation was complicated since teenager was also cant use Ranshinsho and quickly finish his sparring. That's because sensei needed to test his adaptability.
In a unhappy mood, he ruffled hair and instinctively rushed straight at Kurotsuchi, who, taking benefit of Tobio's confusion, start to perform hand seals.
The brunette had to put a lot of effort into interrupting Kurotsuchi technique and to mock a new round to loud explosions on the other side of the training ground.
He was steely and looked at Kurotsuchi with a raised eyebrow, tightly grabbing her hand.
"Yooo, princess what's wrong?" - he spat out with a laugh, standing close to the girl.
However, he didn't like how his friend's reacted at all because a moment later he heard her chuckle.
"Indeed Titi-chan. Im just..." - and using Tobio's hand, immediately completed the last 3 hand signs, which made his eyes widen to comical size.
'Dummy fraud. One red-eyed psychopath would be proud of you' - convulsively, Tobio crossed his arms in hope of defending himself from a powerful kick.
Still in a peculiar flight, the teenager felt as temperature arise near to him, which was rising higher and higher with every second.
A huge fireball approaching him easily create a black path of scorched grass, intending to turn him into a fried steak.
'If she can violate copyrights, then I'll let myself do it too' - with fun, he filled feet with chakra and clinging to the ground ran along the hand signs, then hit the ground with palms releasing chakra creating a earth wall.
A drop of sweat appeared on his forehead when almost 1/5 of his chakra evaporated in an instant, creating a very high and wide wall.
"Bunshin" - Tobio, ignoring the loud sound of clashing two elements and created two bunshin, giving them order to distract his rival.
Ascending to the highest point of destroyed wall, he hid under a gray ash cloud and watching attentively how clones went halfway and got out their kunai.
'Not now, it's too early' - he pondered as pulled short tanto from scabbard and covering it with a thin layer of raiton chakra. He had to strain the muscles in legs for the final act of his battle.
"Now" - jumping Tobio broke the wall with a bang and like a thunderbolt reached Kurotsuchi position, which was hit by a astonished such attack, blocking tanto with her kunais, making bright sparks.
Exchanging aggressive smiles, they met each other flashing glance with adrenaline. By continuing to give more pressure, they hoped to overpower each other.
Quickly understanding that Kurotsuchi had completely forgotten about him and concentrated all attention on tanto, Tobio up sword, thereby got himself the opportunity to attack unprotected princess face.
"Princess, you're focused on the wrong..."
"AGhhhhahugm.." - with a sickening sound, her figure flew a few meters away and a stream of blood poured out of her broken nose.
"Oh, oh, oh, I hope I didn't broke your nose, Kuro-chan. Please not complain from such thing. I will definitely treat you as soon as this test will end." - leaning forward teasingly, Tobio pointed at her bleeding nose.
When he met her glance, the boy hide eyes from her gaze and looked away purposing to observe how the second match was going. However, he was amazed by what he saw.
Now he was given good opportunity to foresee a huge craters and burnt trees. Some of the mannequins were melted.
"God damn, Akio is really a monster of destruction. I would also like to possess that much drave." - Tobio was so mesmerized by their battle that completely forgot about Kurotsuchi who was near and only the same shock prevented her from attacking brunette.
Tobio grabbed tanto in shame and clenched teeth due to the sudden envy which absorbed him. He had never worried about strength, but seeing how Akio was able of made his blood boil.
''Just why am I fury and feeling himself weak right now? I've never had competitive feeling, so why its born now?' - unconsciously, he looked at clock and noticed that in 20 seconds he would must to change his sparring partner.
Tobio did not understand what he to need to do against sensei. Will his abilities be enough? Yeah, he was sure that he had a good chance. MAYBE. He spent a lot of training with Tsuchikage. However, courage had leaving his young head because even Akio destructive attacks didnot harm Hayao, who easily saw trap into which jinchuriki was luring him and with hands in pockets, landed on a branch.
'I don't understand, I'm disgusted because I see the efforts my friend is attached or because I have set up some mental blocks that prevent me from loose up? Where is my problem?' - he thought, looking at panting friend who seemed to be enjoying.
This boy looked as if he was devouring favorite food, enjoying every bite, and not fighting with an elite jounin.
Something made his stomach rumble too and a wild feeling of hunger engulfed him. Rivalry fire broke out and
He had to admit that he was unable to stop it.
Thoughts about Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha visited him. Was it the stiffness because he doesn't need to try in such danger situations because in the end, this duo will save the world anyway.
"Even with a bruised face, he's happy, is this real good? If I can get the same feeling just by giving 120%, then I won't leave even one crumb."
'Be selfish, be greedy...'
DING
After alert, Hayao and Akio duel finished in a way that no one could have expected.
Sensei kicked jinchuuriki into flight and crossed his arms with smugly smile.
"Well, who's ne..." - Tobio didn't let his sharp-tongued sensei finish speech in an instant with an acrobatic jump reaching Hayao position. Just one swing of tanto was enough to give a small scratch on Hayao cheek who is surprised how Tobio personality suddenly changed.
"I won't have enough of the main dish, I'm gonna try to get a desert." - Tobio exclaimed in a calm tone watching how Hayao took a fighting position and took out bag 2 kunai.
After hearing disciple speech, Hayao admired his determination, but noticed how he start to release a completely different aura.
'Jeeez, I assume Im a little dramatic. I probably look like an idiot from the outside.' - shaking head, he covered legs with a thin layer of raiton chakra and jumped on prey as a hungry predator.
The collIding of tanto and kunais created a several subsequent sounds, as well as a light show in the form of bright sparks.
Once again, faced in a close confrontation, Tobio gritted teeth and felt as sensei, seeing his enthusiasm, start to used more strength. The duel turned from an usual duet of two people into an exhausting battle between a young student against a wise master who proficiency used his experience.
"Titi-chan look, I really like your zeal, but you fight like a book. You need to relax and follow what your heart says, not what your body knows." - Tobio couldn't help and chuckle at the memory from past life when he had been constantly being criticized in fencing classes for improvising too much in the aristocratic sports.
"Yayayayaya mom." - Tobio quickly changed strategy and grabbing tanto with a reverse grip, quickly using footwork instantly turned 180° intending to deliver a sharp blow to sensei. It all ended when Hayao use a kawarimi jutsu.
Not knowing if it could be considered a success that he caused the elite jounin to use it Tobio no wasted time quickly running through the hand seals and start to concentrated earth chakra in palms. After gathering enough chakra, he hit the ground with palms and sent a few earth waves into sensei direction.
Unfortunately, it did not bring any point at all because Hayao stopped this earth wave with just the pressure of his foot. It was an exaggeration to say that Tobio's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He couldn't even imagine that a jutsu could be destroyed with just a kick.
'Oh, my God, he's a monster. Just think that I really wanna keep fighting.' - he pondered and at that moment loud bells rang in his head and demanded to protect himself.
Literally a moment before blow, Tobio managed to bend arm and put elbow forward, straining muscles in cause to minimize the damage.
Gritting teeth and gluing himself with chakra to the ground, he tightened shoulder in order to avoid any serious injury. However, even these manipulations did not help him at this moment because the power of blow sent him flying to the other side like a cannon ball.
Hitting the ground like a stone skipping on the water. Tobio managed to stop it only thanks to a wide tree.
'Hah, just a little bit more and my arm would have definitely broken.' - grinning, he cracked neck and charged the blade with lightning and once again rushed at Hayao.
Crackling with white lightning, blade almost cut Hayao in two and only because that Hayao could to grab Tobio saved him from serious injury.
"Wow, It's like a fresh thing for me, you know? I didn't know you that were capable of infusing chakra into the blade." - astonished by these, Hayao forcefully squeezed Tobio hand, preventing his hand from moving closer.
"Many more, sensei. You will be surprised, BUT.." - said this brunette with a grin and formed a one-handed "henge" seal.
Hayao was really amazed that they were both hided in smoke, and after the smoke cleared, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
That's because the boy created an extra pair of hands and quickly ran through the hand seals, spitting out several earth bullets at sensei.
'Oh gotcha, yes?' - he was glad, disappearing into the smoke again. All of this let him to break free from the grip and increase the distance between him and sensei.
In anticipation, but still not lower guard, the boy gently bounced on his toes with outstretched tanto and waited with trembling when smoke to finally clear.
"PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. Don't let my efforts go without anything." - the boy shouted in awe, carefully peering at the outline of the figure, which looked like a disfigured body with several injuries.
However, a one moment later, the cloud of smoke dissipated and revealed a stone sculpture of a man without right hand.
'Shit happens, an earth clone... Fuck my life' - Tobio cursed and increased guard, turning head from side to side in search of sensei.
Trying to find his sensei, Tobio noticed as Akio unsuccessfully protected off continued attacks from Kurotsuchi.
"This isn't good time to looking around Titi-chan, if it was a war time, you'd be dead by now." - a calm voice sounded in his ear, after which Tobio felt as his nose crack and blood gushed out like a waterfall.
To his honour, Tobio carefully grabbed nose and in one move returned it to right place. And even now if the brunette head was covered in blood, big smile didn't leave Tobio's face because of Hayao looks. Immediately after that, a long and loud laugh escaped from his mouth which attracted everyone's attention.
"Something funny, brat?" - Hayao asked with a sarcastic smile, hoping to understand the student's motives.
"Well, your face has become even more amused. I guess I would have agreed to a few more such injuries in cause to see your expression when I caught you napping." - Tobio sarcastically cutted, returning tanto to scabbard and wiping blood.
Hayao eyebrow twitched in annoyance, but in a way Tobio was right in his judgment..
'So he really had a earth clone prepared with that he was gonna kawarimi in critical moment. Tsk I guess I should've thought of that before.' - he clapped hands in frustration, looking at Hayao's beat-up figure. The man jounin vest was completely shredded and could not be regained.
Apparently his sensei didn't appreciate such humor because in one moment the man disappeared in a leaves, creating a huge but not deep crater.
'Shit, this crater looks like as Nokia3310 fell into it.' - Tobio joked in his mind, trying to find his sensei's chakra.
After calming Tobio took up a fighting position and focused all five senses on sensei search, who kept running around him like a Saitama in a battle against Garou. By leaving afterimages, Hayao tried to confuse him and find a gap in his defenses.
'Oh, man. I guess I shouldn't have mad sensei' - boy noticed and felt as a certain chakra signature appear right under his feet.
He only had a one moment to avoid a blow aimed directly at his chin. A blow that would almost definitely make a good shaker out of his head. However, to Tobio shock, Hayao attacks, which had previously been single, continued with even more pressure. The boy feels more and more fatigue and inevitability of the future.
Continuing to methodically dodge unreadable attacks, Tobio became clear that if he doesn't make anything, sooner or later he will lose concentration and lost.
'Ah, scratch that.' - doubtfully, he still didn't believe what he was gonna do.
Catching sensei's fist, he quickly ran through the one-handed seals, covering hand with a stone glove.
"Oh, you're gonna kill me? However, you don't have speed to do that. Sorry, but you're not in charge here." - mocking, Hayao waiting for further action, looked straight into student's face. However, smile instantly faded from his face when his earth clone arose from the ground directly below him and knocked Hayao down.
"Roll up your mouth. You talk too much, sensei. "Earth Release: Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique"" - the teenager exclaimed stormy and punched man who was lying on the ground and was unwieldy because his student earth clone used a medical technique which momentarily restarts the chakra channels.
Already fully feeling victory, the brunette looked lying sensei whose body had turned into dirt
'He is a slimy rat. I bet he's sitting in ambush right now, waiting for good moment.' - falling to knees, Tobio wiped the blood from face and noticed that one of his wrist was broken.
In a adrenaline, he didnot got that one of his arms was not fully functioning. With cruck bone into place, he bit cheek, trying to stifle a cry of pain.
At a distance from them, Kurotsuchi and Akio finally understood that they were exhausted and start to watch for other duel, in which thier fellow missed more and more punches.
"Holy shit! I never thought Tobio would be able to hold for so long. It seemed to me that he would rather give up than cross his pain threshold." - Akio noticed with a malicious smirk, put hands on his trembling legs, astonishing at the steadfastness of his friend.
"They still have around 30 seconds left, probably Tobi just wanna dont knockout and prove to himself that he is not so bad" - Kurotsuchi replied as watched Tobio started twisting with feet in a handstand from side to side in improvised kicks trying to catch sensei off guard. [A/N. "Flare" move from Breakdance]
Weird thought had already been born in their heads that Tobio had somehow completely changed in just a few minutes and now looked like he was enjoying the fight. Even if this fight basically consisted of his entire body and face turning into a bloody mess.
The brunette had already became to doubt his sanity because he continued to show wayward character and didnot give up. With one functioning eye, Tobio noticed as his sensei run through over an unfamiliar hand seals combination and being in spat out a huge blanket of orange lava in his direction.
"Shit" - the teenager instantly slammed his palms on the ground and created as thick a dome out of the ground as he could allow.
The temperature from this attack was so high that a thick enough earth layer quickly melted and lava fell on brunette body.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
'Do or die. I couldn't have a better chance'
For the outside who gathered here, it became obvious that this fight was over and the teenager would have a fairly long course of treatment.
"SENSEI YOU OVERDID IT" - Kurotsuchi screamed in concern as watched his teammate's figure writhing on the ground and screaming in pain.
"I THOUGHT HE'D HAVE THE GOOD BRAIN DODGE IT." - Hayao declared in annoyance and ran to stupid student direction whom he would definitely scold for recklessness.
To everyone's surprise, Tobio's figure burst into a puff of smoke. Silence and confusion spread throughout the site. ..These actions became so amazing that Hayao missed moment when a burnt hand appeared right under him, which firmly grabbed his leg.
"HUH?"
HAYAO POV
Tobio's perseverance shocked me. Albeit I understood his situation inwardly, but anyway it was difficult for me to fully trust him. However, the past few minutes have made me slightly change my opinion about him.
'Although he good, his meager supply of jutsus hold back his potential. I'll teach some on it when he regain.' - I thought and without hesitation rushed in Tobio direction.
"""HUH?""" - we all exclaimed when Tobio exploded in a smoke and someone grabbed my leg.
I shuddered internally for such reveal. I was absolutely sure that Tobio who had been writhing from pain was the real one. I carefully observing him and he didn't fold the seals until the moment of my sneak attack. So when?
"And what now Tobio? I sup..." - I was gonna convince him to end the fight because this kid had already showed to me everything that I was wanna see from him.
However, something was wrong.
I thought for one moment and the world stopped in around me.
'GENJUTSU? 'Kai' How? It was Earth clone which touched me?' - I quickly dispelled the genjutsu and noticed how Tobio's burnt figure standing 5 meters away from me.
"A?"
However, as I lowered head, I felt how someone hug me tightly. It required a split second to got that it was Tobio, who grabbed my body with hands with feet and then locked legs behind my back. After that, brat suddenly leaned right angle with 2 fingers in a pistol shape in my direction.
All this took no more than a second when a white chakra ball appeared right in my face, inside of which I saw a small white lightnings. A bad memory came to my mind from the time of the last war, when Yellow Flash destroyed Iwa shinobi over and over again.
"RAITON - RAIKYU RASENGAN" - Tobio's shouted, on whose face I saw the remains of burnt skin and protruding white areas of the jaw. Blood was streaming down the teenager forehead and I could clearly see his missing right eye.
But I noticed another oddity.
'Damn, Why is he smiling like mad?'
