The Hyena meets The Fox o.o

Approved

(sorry, was not sure if you were going inactive, so re-entering now!)

Draconis came back, thinking he had heard movement from the younger boy. He sat down on the ground next to Kaito, and said "You must get stronger to avoid such loss yourself." He wondered if the other boy had heard anything he had said prior to his brief excursion.

(Lmao! "No Homo." That had me dying!)

The boy sulked to himself, unable to handle the rush of emotion. To the watchful eye he'd be an annoyance. Some even walked by calling him a "baby" and other names. Normally, he'd defend himself but as of now he could not find it in himself to even raise his head. Guess these was the result of bottling up so much over the past years. Putting on a front for everyone you came across. Kaito couldn't deny how he truly felt; he could not conceal the emotion. For it was a beast longing to escape from its cage. "I miss them so much!!" Poor little Kaito could not keep the tears from flowing down his cheeks. How could a shinobi display such behavior? Heck, even the bystanders watching felt embarrassed for BOTH boys. "Why did they have to leave me and mama alone? I don't understand why they were taken from us." The boy closed his eyes, pushing out more of the tears that built up.

It was then that Kaito entered what appeared to be his sub-conscious. Something like that. Never before had he experienced something like this. The boy found himself standing in the center of a glowing platform. Everything around him was bright; as if he was submerged in a sea of radiant light. Hyena was not around, so having transported to another location was out of the question. Then were was he? Why was he alone? He'd think about it as he stood on the transparent platform. Suddenly, there were two figures standing before him. Light from behind them casted shadows over their front sides, so Kaito couldn't make out any physical attributes. The shadows would then be casted off of their bodies, revealing their identities. It was Kaito's father and his sister. Somehow, they managed to return to him! 

Kaito would run over to the two, opening his arms wide. He'd embrace them in a hug and pulled them together, resting his head against his father's torso. "Papa!! Sister!! I've missed you two so much! You don't understand how me and mother feel right now!" There was no reply from either of the two. His head would tilt upwards so that he could look up to them. They both stared back at the boy with their smiles. Those beautiful smilest that differentiated from Kaito's fox smile. Both of them spoke to Kaito, yet, no sound was made. It was more of a lip sync that only Kaito was able to understand. As they moved their lips, and the boy read, he began tearing up some more. Finally, he understood how it worked. The boy understood well that he had to be strong for not only his mother, but himself. Although it was good to let your emotions out, he also had to learn not to let them bring him down. 

That was a valuable lesson that they both taught the boy in their lifetimes. Now it was up to Kaito to live by it. Even with loss, you can still learn to keep whatever it is you no longer have in your heart.  "Thank you...." At that moment, the boy was brought back to reality. Those emotions experienced had awakened something in the young child. No longer were his eyes of their usual onyx color. They were different; he had awakened the Sharingan. Somehow, opening up to Hyena managed to activate some kind of reaction in his brain. Thinking back on those dear to him, who are now deceased, had done its part. Through all of that he was able to feel himself being embraced by Hyena, unfortunately, he could not catch the beginning of his meaningful words. 

"You're absolutely right. I can't grieve the deaths of both my father and sister. I have to learn how to accept it and grow stronger to protect my mother! I love her dearly! What do you say Hyena? Shall we get to some training?" He'd raise his head, oblivious of the fact that he had awakened the Dojutsu that the Uchiha were known for. "I'm feeling much better now thanks to you!"

It looked like the young boy had recovered from his rather emotional moments. It seemed he was ready to get on with life and become as strong as possible now, which was a good thing. “Would you like to spar?” The Hyena said. In the back of his mind, he was reviewing a more advanced version of the clone jutsu, the Shadow Clone jutsu.

(ttl wc: 113)

It seemed that his suspicions were confirmed, twice in fact. Kaito was happy to do a spar, perhaps to take his mind off of the rather emotional issues he had had in the past. The other item on the Hyena’s list confirmed, was that the Shadow Clones were regular clones, but with more chakra concentrated into them. It was a rather nifty jutsu frankly. For a relatively low cost to the user’s stamina reserves, you could multiply your attacking potential many times over. Too bad the clones and user could not all use the same jutsus, but that was probably an effect of either the amount of chakra usable with this jutsu, or the fact that this would probably result in a very strong jutsu consigned to the s ranks, banned from the public memory and eye, and break some kind of space or time continuum. Oh well. Still this was already quite nice, since the jutsu would allow him to replicate his throwing items, which would be useful for pinning down an opponent.

He glanced at Kaito again, and said “Ok. Jutsu or no? It is probably safest to avoid using jutsu just to be sure there are no serious injuries.”


(ttl wc: 113+202=315)

Kaito nodded in agreement with Hyena; sparring without jutsu would indeed be the safest approach. "Yeah! I think we should just use Taijutsu. I really need to work on my hand-to-hand combat. Hehe." Kaito smiled, "I also believe that it'd work the both of us out more than if we used jutsu!" The boy giggled. Truthfully, the only jutsu that Kaito had in his arsenal was an offensive one that had to potential to do moderate damage. It was a Katon technique that should be avoided, especially here with all these children around. "Okay, whenever you're ready!"

The Hyena frowned in concentration. He was not sure how strong or fast this young fellow was, especially if he was just recovering from the final stages of grief that had began many years before from the sound of it. He seemed ready, the Hyena got ready too. Wondering if Kaito Yasaka would make the first move, the Hyena waited. If Kaito looked to be employing the same strategy, the Hyena would rush forwards, his left leg bending and supporting all his weight while his right foot would swing through at the other boy’s legs, around where his knees were, if it impacted Kaito would have trouble maintaining his balance and would likely be bowled over backwards, likely behind himself.

Draconis the Hyena was surprised to see Kaito bringing his arm out to block his kick with his whole body. Not a bad move, since it kept Kaito’s body stable. The Hyena began throwing a punch at Kaito’s chest, aiming merely to push the other boy off his feet, not to actually hurt him, though the punch was thrown at a similar speed to that at which Kaito himself had moved, wanting to give the other boy a chance to react. It was after he started throwing the punch that he realized the other boy was aiming to kick him in the left shin, interesting. If Kaito went through with the kick he would be hit by the Hyena’s punch at around the same time, if not, he had a chance to dodge as well.
