A Charged Meeting (Private, NK)

Fai was quite quick on his feet to say the least. He had merely gone on his toes and dodged like some sort of ballerina. However, that was not all. In feinting Ukita's attack Fai had grabbed onto his feet and spun around-there was little to nothing Ukita could do about it considering he was mid back spring. This grabbing of Ukita messed up his back spring and sent him spiraling to the ground. Time inside his head started to slow down as he fell to the ground. He could not do a thing. There was no trick or way out. In the past he had always been able think his way out of a fall, but this one was unavoidable. he returned from the inside of his head to find himself on the ground with Fai standing over him-a rather miserable situation to say the least.

As if to make it worse Ukita heard Fai speak. To him Fai's voice and words seemed condescending and mocking, especially with the wagging of the finger, though Fai would not know it Ukita had never been able to perform ninjutsu very well, which was something Ukita was made fun of time and time again-even at a young age his parents, the drunk and the gambler, had made fun of him, although at the time they were both drunk, and both seemed to think knowing ninjutsu was essential to being a ninja. Ukita took Fai's words as a taunt. That was the one thing he fought for time and time again. Ever since he was a child: this was why he got in an endless torrent of fights, so that no one would ever belittle him again, but more importantly to hide the sorrow he got from all the malicious comments. Yet here was one more person belittling him and an absolute stranger on top of that: who the HELL did Fai think he was? This was the straw that broke the camel's back these simple words from Fai opened wounds that had scarred over time and time again and that had been suppressed and repressed: comments from schoolmates, his parents, and even his sensei in the academy. For an instant it felt as if all the despair he had been burdened by for so long came upon him at once. Before his sorrows had been bearable as they came as single spies yet now they came in battalions. He felt more sorrow than he had in all the years in a single second. If Fai watched carefully he would see a lone tear run down Ukita's face. Sometimes all it took was a few words to bring a person down and Fai had spoken those words to Ukita. However, Fai's words had merely been a trigger. All that Ukita had experienced, all the small sorrows that had come before, come together in one moment. It was odd how such large moments hinged on the trivial.

All those thoughts would whiz through Ukita's brain as he slowly looked up at Fai. One moment his eyes would be normal, but then in a literal blink of an eye and a brief moment of pain they were blood red with a black tear drop tome spinning around in it. Ukita would not say a thing to Fai-there was no time. He would talk with his fists. And hell if Fai beat him.......all the better. It would give him something to work for-something to strive for... something to lust for. Ukita himself was not aware of the transformation until he looked up at Fai and saw a nondescript blob of chakra. Completely bewildered Ukita disregarded it-he was in a fight after all no more hesitation could be shown. Getting up on one knee Ukita pushed himself up and into a standing position. Wiping his right arm across his face he would clear it of the lone tear and look at Fai. He did not hate Fai he had every right to taunt him he had messed up, but it still cut deep; very deep. In the back of his mind Ukita pulled in the reigns on his emotions with all his might. He managed to get a reasonable amount of control on himself. Although Ukita's face was an open book the entire time if Fai was observant he would be able to see the change in Ukita. Recalling the fact that this was a fight Ukita would blindly run at Fai with his right fist drawn back aiming for Fai's jaw. It was a wanton and foolish attack that one could probably easily put down, but Ukita was not in his right mind-he was not used to being bested with such ease and aplomb.

Strange winds were blowing over the training ground as a new wind would blow over it. The clouds were beginning to get darker as it started to rain around the two Genin. Though they did not speak at this moment their battle spirits were speaking to each other. Fai liked Ukita for he reminds him alot of himself. Although he had along way to go, he could feel his potential as he stood back up. He would have no idea of the metamorphosis that occurred within him, but Fai like the winds that were coming from this one. He stood there for a moment watching him and reminiscing about his younger days, his family were all stronger than him and taunted him about is inability to use the clans famous ninjutsu, but Fai proved them wrong by making something only for himself . Now in the present Fai would smile as the rain touched his face, smoothing his hair out onto him," i have to admit Ukita, you remind me of myself, and that in itself proves your strength, but now we have to push you to a true potential," as his hand began to glow brighter. He would mean him no harm, but this would help him in the long run.

Clenching his fist, his arm would start to turn into a solidified dragons arm made of condensed chakra and red lightning as he looked at Ukita and smiled," Face your new future at the hands of the Crimson Dragon," s he would see him rush at him and throw a jab. Fai would move his face to the side and throw a right hook into his gut with enough force to push him back. Fai would not kill him at all but he will push him to his limits and even when he reaches it, he will push them further. If Ukita were to go flying he would dash with him and throw a crescent kick to his side, jumping back and wait as his opponent would get up again. No smile would be on Fai's face only a blank expression, his eyes filled with a look of certainty," know by the end of this day you will be stronger," as he lifted his left hand up and pushed his hair onto his head

(Thank you kindly.)
As Ukita charged like some enraged beast he started to go into a tunnel vision. It was odd. Usually he never lost control. Throughout all his years he may have fought fiercely, but never, in his memory, had he fought without going in with a plan. It was as if there was something deep down driving him. It was overriding his normally rational mind to the point of blind rage. In fact the only reason he could really see where he was going was, because he could see the chakra that was resonating from Fai. Once he was half way towards Fai it really struck him how odd it was. Why could he see chakra? He was pretty sure that only doujutsu could see chakra, but he had no doujutsu in the least. His name was Ukita Hideyasu. Not Uchiha or Hyuga. It made no sense at all. Luckily for him Ukita did not have time to really ponder the fact as he had arrived right in front of Fai.

Ukita tried to quickly punch Fai, but yet again he was too slow. As Fai simply moved out of the way. It was then that Ukita processed what Fai had said: something or another about a crimson dragon. That kind of confused Ukita just a bit, because he had no idea what it meant, but he wouldn't have to wait long. He soon found out as a claw like attack came at his gut and knocked the wind clean out of him. He had not seen the transformation of Fai's hand, because of his prior tunnel vision. From the brief glimpse Ukita caught of it he could see that it was seething with chakra interesting to say the least till it landed in his gut, which hurt like none other. He was now in the air for a brief moment, but he would not remain there long-he had no hope of moving while in the air. So, it was not a very big surprise when a quick crescent kick from Fai sent him to the left. Fai's speed was indeed showing its dominance. In fact, if Fai wanted to he could have probably killed Ukita.

What happened next was expected. Ukita was kicked right onto the dirt ground with a dull muted thud. Ukita's side hurt like hell although he was starting to get his wind back. He remained on the ground for about thirty seconds. He half considered staying on the ground, but thought better of it and propped himself up with not too much effort. He squared off against Ukita with a determined look in his blood red eyes. For the first time he noticed it was raining-not surprising if given some thought. It was the village hidden in the clouds after all. Ukita had regained his mental processes once more and started to think it through rationally. What could he do? There seemed like a plethora of things he could do. To stall for time he Spoke up to Fai "Your good. I will give you that. Ninjutsu is not really my style, but if you insist I do have a limited repertoire of it. Now, I don't know what happened here." Ukita waved his hands in front of his face in reference to his red eyes. "Now, let us continue. This time I will show you what I can do. So, please be ready."

The time Ukita hopefully gained through talking had given him more than enough time to think. Now, it was time to act, time to win. Ukita had taken quite a bit of a beating, but he felt he could still put up a good fight. His new eyes looked at Fai and what it told him was that he would have to avoid that red dragon claw thing again or risk getting pummeled for the third time. Making the hand signs for the clone technique two illusionary clones appeared at Ukita's side. And then for a second time Ukita charged however the clones and him ran a criss cross pattern in hopes of confusing Fai. The first version to reach Fai would be a clone it would punch from the left. Then swiftly as possible the real Ukita would attack from the right with a swift kick to the shin while the second clone would attack head on. The clones would not be able to hurt Fai, but Ukita hoped to get the better of him on this one. It would be hard to see through this attack of course Fai did have that red eye, but it was worth a try. All that would remain to be seen was how Fai would react, which if the battle thus far was any prof it would be interesting.

Nothing made Fai happier than someone who refused to give but but this time another wind would come for Ukita, this one stronger than the last but also more potent as he smiled. As he waited for him to get up his left arm would slowly turn into a dragons claw, similar to his right, but at this time he would put up more of a fighting style. Ukita made his interesting for him and now it was time to step it up a notch. As Ukita got up and used a jutsu he would smile," round three ding ding," as he and three clones rushed towards Fai. His right leg would shift back like a basic boxer stance as his left fist would attempt to hit one of the clones. His fist would phase through as Fai would feel his kick to his shin, making him buckle a little. Fai would respond by jumping back on landing on his left foot," Nice move," as he smiled at Ukita. He was not taunting him nor belittling him, yet praising him but more was to come as Fai made the Ram hand seal and body flickered into Ukita's face delivering three fast jabs to his abdomen, chest and side. If all three hits were to connect the force of the punches would send him flying backwards almost 4 meters.

Fai would move the hair from his face again as looked to him again," do not hold back Ukita, use all of your strength, your ambitions and fight me," trying to encourage him to give it his all. Fai could tell by looking at him he had more fight in him, but something was making him hold back, which he did not like at all. Angrily he would begin to walk slowly towards him, deactivating the claws around his arms, but keeping the seal active," I know for a fact you have more power than this now show me it," as he picked him up by the collar and looked at him. He did not want to sound like a teacher at all, his only goal was to push him past his limits. Fai would draw his free hand back and aim for his gut again," In this fight you have only two choices," as lightning began to dance in the sky," fight or flight, now which is your option," as he gave a wide grin and began to pull his hand back some more.

Ukita experienced a brief moment of elation as his attack landed with almost perfect precision. He took note for next time that he should have aimed for the kneecap, but put it out of his mind as he knew he would have to be on his guard. Of course he was quite literally stunned as Fai body flickered right in from of him at speeds he could not even see. Luckily he had not tried to come up behind him or anything too sneaky. Naturally, Ukita did not have time to dodge or really react to the perfectly executed attacks Fai launched. The hits sent him back three meters-a reasonable distance indeed. The net effect being that Ukita found himself once again on his ass and on the ground. This time he was a lot more discombobulated he lay there for a while and contemplated what to do next.

In all honesty Ukita was filled with a feeling of hopelessness. He could not seem to get the upper hand in the least. Every move he made seemed to be countered with relative ease or at least have a reasonable answer. It was here that Ukita considered giving up yet again. After all, what was the point of continuing to fight if he would continue to be rebuffed time and time again. In the midst of his hopelessness he felt another pain in his eyes. If Fai were watching he would see that a second tome would be swimming in Ukita's eyes. This slight pain brought Ukita around again. His brief moment of hopelessness had been foolish he could still fight. If he did he would never live it down...NEVER. When Fai came over and picked him up Ukita could not do a thing. He listened to him talk and merely nodded a short curt nod. However, before Fai pulled his fist back for a punch Ukita responded with an attack of his own-a faster attack. Still being held by Fai he would force his two hands to move with unnatural speed and attempt to grab Fai's shoulders. Next he would follow through with a headbutt. If all went as planned The two shinobi wouldd meet head on in a double edged headbutt. Only time would tell what would happen.

Fai would look into Ukita's eyes as another strange dot would appear in his eyes, something was happening and this could mean he was getting stronger. Fai smiled as he looked up into the sky and back down to him so see his hands on his shoulders," what do you think you are going to," his sentence stopped short as he was headbutted by Ukita. Fai would drop him and stumble back and he did not see that one coming. A bolt of lightning would strike in the sky as Fai began to laugh," perfect you have some fight in you know, but i want to now show you my real power," as he seal would now shine brighter than before. His body would begin to be covered in an ominous red cloak as it slowly formed into a dragon type cloak, as his eye began to slit like a dragons. No words were said as the tail fully formed and thrashed on the ground cracking it, his teeth became longer. He would look at Ukita and smile as he disappeared and appeared in front of Ukita, smacking him in the chest sending him flying back. He would let out roar as he looked upon Ukita's flying body as he smiled, each step he took rumbling like the lightning in the sky. In this form Fai would only resort to using his tail and claws. Ukita would have to charge him and hit him again like the last time. This sky would continue to rain down upon them as he stopped in the middle of the field," what is your resolve," as he stood straight up. If anyone would look at him from afar he would look like a jinchuriki, but that was not the case.

Ukita had indeed caught Fai off guard. However, Ukita had not really thought about the whole headbutt thing. First off Fai dropped him to the ground yet again. Second he kind of forgot that a headbutt would leave him hurt as well. His head aching like none other Ukita struggled to stand. By the time Fai started talking he was back on his feet. The fact that he had instead the headbutt gave him enough time to be ready to recover quickly. He listened with a half cocked smile on his face as a bit of blood ran down his forehead. Fai's talking allowed Ukita a brief moment to calibrate and get used to the change he had just under went. His eyes seemed to much better at following each and every movement. In fact when some lightning came down he was able to see it in greater detail no matter how crazy it sounded. It felt like he could almost see things before they happened, but that was not it. he could make predictions based on movements that was more appropriate word for it. Whatever the hell it was it was simply amazing. It felt like he was a god able to see what was happening in every minute detail. It was odd he even felt like, because of that he could move just a bit faster than before-go figure.

At this time Fai finished his talking and Ukita observed an almost incomprehensible amount of chakra flow from Fai. It was like he was going through a transformation. He started to look more like a...a...a he could not place exactly what it was at that time, but he was sure he would remember at some point. Whatever the transformation looked like it most definitively looked strong. Then in a blur of speed Ukita, even with his odd tracking power, could not follow the movement speed of the Fai-this was bad. In an instant he was right in front of Ukita. A short bolt of fear shot through Ukita. Almost on instinct his arms shot in front of him to defend from the sweep at his chest from Fai. With his new found speed he was able to block the attack. However, the force of the attack still pushed him back about five meters-Fai certainly packed a punch. Rather pleased with himself Ukita would be standing five meters away from Fai-it was his turn and he knew it.

Listening to Fai he responded with an equally brazen response: "By all means. here I come." Ukita knew it was not strictly the ninja way to announce an attack, but the way it was he felt like it was appropriate. Thunder rolled above and in a flash of lighting Ukita made his move. He started running at his full speed straight for Fai. Half way there he made the clone hand sign again. Yet again three images of Ukita came at Fai. However, in an different formation the clones and ukita made a single file line as they made to attack Fai. First there was a clone then another and at the end of the line was the real Ukita. The first two clones would merely run into Fai and simply disperse. However, then the real one would come chargeing with his fist held like he was aiming for Fai's left shoulder. But, even that was a rouse. In the last meter between the two Ukita would slide into a slide tackle of sorts and hopefully knock Fai's feet out from under him. Only time would tell who would win this epic confrontation.

{TWC for JP 4688, progress towards next tome 688/2000}

As the lightning would continue to flash, Fai would stand there as an expressionless being almost as if he was deep in thought but his focus was on the fight. No matter how much he put into it he would always see the same result, which coming from him would be success or failure. It was never both yet never changing like the flow of time. Fai would snap out of his trance for a moment to see his tail smash into Ukita and send him flying back. He did a good job at blocking it and dispersing the damage evenly through his body to lessen the total damage, which in Fai's eyes was impressive.

Never knowing what would happen, Fai would slowly crouch to where he looked like a semi upright bear, his breathe becoming visible. He did not know what to do at this point but his body began to get tired a little. Knowing what this meant the cloak would slowly disappear except for his arms, which would remain encased in dragon form. He would look at Ukita perform the same maneuver, but it seemed to be a little different. Giving a smirk he would allow him to tackle him, giving Fai all the leverage he needed. Once he tackled him, Fai would slide back but as he did, he would stomp his right foot onto the ground as he turned and threw Ukita onto the ground.

The move was impressive but lacked any real devotion so to speak. Fai was having actually have fun for the first time in a while all because of Ukita. Fai would not smile but only look at him as he waited for him to get up. As he did he would look at Ukita," lets make this the last attack from both of us, hit me with your best attack," as he smiled. Fai had a new jutsu that he wanted to use, but he would not hit Ukita with it, but he would give him a change to win. Fai would perform several hand signs and at the end he would stick his hand into the air as chakra condensed lightning covered his whole hand.

He would smile as he looked at Ukita," this jutsu here is...something i haven't even heard of but it is a very legendary Lightning Ninjutsu, if you want to win it is simple get past this and hit me," as his had swung behind him as he dashed forward towards Ukita. Fai would not be able to change is position once he started to run, so this was it do or die to see who would win.
