A Gamble for Rank[P, Queen, Kurisu]

He was more nervous than he remembered ever being. He could feel the cold sweat on the palms of his hands and his heart was fluttering like a humming birds. He still wasn't sure about this idea, but he couldn't let Queen go through with it on her own. She was really the main reason he was here right now, waiting in the Hokage's office with her to speak with Kurisu. Well, that wasn't exactly true. Yes they were going to speak with him, but the real plan that the possibly crazy blonde had come up with was for the two of them to challenge the Hokage to a fight to test their strength. Judging from the last time Jace had seen Kurisu, when he had proposed to Ari, he seemed like a caring and laid back kind of guy. That was probably why he had agreed to this crazy plan in the first place. Still, the Uchiha couldn't help but wonder how the man would react to two of his Genin coming to see him only to challenge him to a fight. Jace wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants as he sat there waiting to be told they could enter the office. His eyes darted all over the room, periodically stopping on the beautiful visage of his crush to calm him down before he returned to taking in the aspects of the room. They hadn't been waiting long yet, but already he felt like they had been there for hours. It was really just his nerves getting to him.The most noticeable feature of the room he was in was the large man sized holes in the walls, probably where Kurisu had decided doors weren't good enough judging from the sheer size of them. Turning to Queen, he would ask "Are you sure about this?"

The girl got ready from the comfort of her bedroom. She had come up with some crazy idea to challenge the hokage to a fight, but in her mind it made perfect sense. She was getting tired of being sent on these pointless missions where all she did was do someone chores, or overall tasks that other people didn’t want to do. The only mission that she did that was anything close to a challenge was taking control of the prison, and even that hadn’t been much of a challenge. She had to prove her worth, had to move up the ranks where her skills could be put to good use, that was, until her plans could be advanced. Though, she wouldn’t go at it alone. She requested her other teammate Jace to join her on her on this dangerous escapade. While he was rather hesitant at first, she had finally convinced him to join in. After all, Queen had to test how truly compatible they were in working together. She had to really see if he could be a a true teammate for her in the long run. The girl dressed in her usual attire with her ninjato on her lower back and headed out the door.

The blonde girl made it to the hokage building that was decorated by holes by the hokage himself. Flashbacks of that night appeared through her mind as she attempted to remove it from her trial of thought. She had tried herb best to forget how the alcohol had taken control of her actions. She put her hands where her hands should have been. There were some other things, but it was best if they were not listed.”mhm.” Queen responded, not one sign of worry on her face. She would sit next to the boy, and wait along until the Hokage called them in.

After waiting for about five minutes, Queen got rather impatient and took Jace by the arm, leading him to the Hokage's office. Without warning the girl opened the door and walked in, still grasping on to Jace with a strength that he wouldn't be able to pull away from. "Hokage." Queen announced, rather dull in tone. "We have come to challenge you."

Kurisu leaned back in his Hokage Chair, the chair tilting back so far it should have fallen backwards but he used a layer of chakra on his feet against the interior underside of the desk to hold the position. He was looking back through a window behind him in the office, light drops of rain hitting against the surface of the glass. Rain was something that he hadn't seen in a while and he expected it to rain more due to the sounds of distance thunder slowly growing louder. 'At least I won't have to go outside today.' at least that's what he thought, it would prove to be wrong.

Leaning forward he'd reach down for a bottle of Jack and start looking forward at one of the holes in his wall. Taking a drink he'd see two familiar faces sitting outside the office. 'Why are they just si- Oh right I need to let them in. Or do I?' he thought about it for a few minutes, drinking and thinking for five minutes before the two came in through his door and seemed to challenge him.

He looked at Jace and Queen with his head tilted to the right. "Is that so? You sound really sure of that." although he wasn't too serious since Queen sounded bored. Problem was that he was also bored and so he decided to humor the idea anyways. "Alright well let's see what you can do." If it got entertaining he'd take them out of the office, but for now he'd see if it was even worth the time. Standing up from his chair he'd wave off his guards so that they knew it was fine and wait for the two to attack him.

The blonde had answered Jace's question with a short 'mhm' and that was pretty much all she said. They sat around for another five minutes, even though the boy could clearly see Kurisu through one of the giant holes in the wall to his office. Then suddenly Jace was pulled from his seat by the girl and pulled, not through the hole in the wall, but through the door and into the office. He came to a halt beside the girl as she simply proclaimed them to be there to challenge the Hokage. In response, Kurisu simply tilted his head and said something about her being pretty sure of the challenge. Without really any hesitation he then said he wanted to see what the two could do while standing up from his chair and waving off his guards, obviously a signal for the duo to start their attacks.

Well this was it, there was no turning back now. The instant the guards had been waved away Jace would move into action. Well, not really move at all actually. Instead he simply cast a genjutsu that would alter what the Hokage was actually seeing to something that the Uchiha wanted him to see instead. As soon as Jace had cast the false surroundings genjutsu, he would make three seals at 90 speed. Rat-Boar-Tiger. Then 25 crows appeared inside of the office, making it kind of cramped. Jace would perform a single hand seal upon the crows appearance, again at 90 speed, as he simultaneously ended the false surroundings technique, looking straight into Kurisu's eyes as he had been the entire time. If Queen were to make any moves before the genjutsu ended, Jace would make sure to cover her with the false surroundings technique.

“As sure as can be” Queen shot back, her voice still rather monotone in nature as it usually was when she spoke. She wasn’t really one to show emotion. The man with the title of Hokage seemed to have agreed to the challenge, claiming to want to see what they could do. During the time that the guards were being dismissed, Queen too there consecutive breathes. After the first one, the girl’s eyes turned completely white, as if her pupils disappeared; her body also giving off a yellow aura. After her second breathe, her body began to expand slightly, making her muscles more prominent. During her last distinct breathe, which took place when Jace has begun his hand seals, Queen’s skin color took on a darker shade, turning red almost.

Her aura then continued to expand almost instantly, as she rushed her opponent at half her speed, charging in at 90. Her attack would take place the moment the the birds began to flock around, scattering through the room and using them in order to partially cloud her movement. While there was a good chance Kurisu had a few drinks before this battle had started, so all the movement would surely play to the two Genin’s advantage. With the flock of birds now starting to surround the tight space, Queen took her march towards a slight right, planning on making a circle around her hokage in the tight space about one meter out from him. As she would make her way behind him at his six o clock, The girl would remove the ninjato from her back and launched the sheath at Kurisu at a speed of 175. As the girl continued her run and approached Kurisu’s three o’clock, she would take a short leap onto the window sill, and pushed herself off towards the hokage. Still traveling at the same speed, with her free left hand she aimed a punch at the man’s face with a speed of 180 and a strength of 100.

Having great power and status can make one become very confident in their skills, it was something that Kurisu wasn't entirely immune to. Having two genin come into his office and challenge him didn't seem like a very serious thing and in reality it wasn't but there was still need to not leave his guard down and basically not try. Dismissing the guards made Jace release a bunch of crows into the office, 'Why the hell did he just unleash crows in my office that's really weird and why the hell am I feeling tired?" he began to notice that something was off and the timing was not favorable with Queen throwing something at him and then moving around the office to strike at him.

'Come on Kur, you're in a simple genjutsu. Here.' the yonbi within his mind acknowledged the simple sleeping genjutsu which made the beast use its power to free him from the genjutsu. The distraction was not something he should have let happen considering his status as Hokage but even having fought Koroshi he was still rusty. In a split second his body was covered in light blue lightning, having triggered his signature technique in order to move to the side of the sheath coming at him from Queen before seeing Queen's fist slam into his face. 'Guess its a good thing I used Lightning Release Armor, but still guess I should have given them more credit.' he probably could have avoided the situation if he took it more seriously at the start but it was a sign of potential nonetheless. 

Most likely Queen would get shocked by the lightning from his armor and be hindered for a second. Moving at full speed he'd reach down to his next and grab two little gold stars that said 'You Tried'. Still going full speed for this moment the two genin would probably be unable to stop his actions, placing a star on each of their headbands. Assuming that works he would have first placed one on Queen and then on Jace before saying "Alright kids, we're not done. Come on outside though." and then darting backwards through the window he'd been looking through earlier and out into the thunderstorm. Rain falling hard now and lightning being visual at random spots every so often along with the booming sound of thunder following afterwards. 

He didn't want to deal with rebuilding the entire office. With that he'd expect to be followed out into the streets of the village, at which point he'd go behind the opposing building and wait to see if they could even find him and how they'd react to possibly getting surprise attacked, while sensing for their chakra.

As soon as Jace had made his move, it seemed Queen would do the same. Jace watched the girl move around the Hokage and then push off the wall and...well Jace couldn't really see what happened next. All he knew was Queen was now on the floor and lightning was surrounding Kurisu's body. Jace then heard the Hokage say something about them not being done and taking it outside. Then he was gone, out of the window behind him. Jace's eyes activated at this point, realizing he obviously needed them if he wanted to do anything at all to Kurisu. He hesitated for a moment to make sure Queen was ok before darting out of the window after him, manipulating the crows to follow, of which there were now 30 instead of 25. 

The weather was horrendous outside. Rain was coming down hard and lightning could be seen flashing across the sky every so often. The most noticeable thing, however, was the complete absence of Kurisu. He was nowhere in sight. Of course Jace didn't know that the man was only 15 meters away and hiding behind a building. So he sent his crows to search for Kurisu. Queen was probably outside near Jace at this point. After a few short moments of waiting, Jace heard the cawing of one of his crows coming from the direction of the building opposite him. He came up with something while he had been waiting. Turning to Queen he would begin to explain. "It looks like he's over there behind the building. I'm going to go over the building and distract him. It will probably only create an opening for you of about two to three seconds. I want you to go around the building and hit him as soon as you see he is distracted. Let's go."

With that, Jace would take off at 50 speed over the building, hopefully with Queen going around the building. As Jace made his way over the building he would make the hand seals Horse-Tiger at 100 speed, finishing the Tiger seal by the time he reached the edge of the roof. Running down the back of the building, Jace could clearly see Kurisu 6 meters in front of him and to his right. The Uchiha launched a 2 meter diameter fireball straight at the Hokage moving at 40 speed with 40 power. Hoperfully Kurisu would have sensed Jace coming and would be distracted long enough for Queen to do what she needed to.

It was so sudden that the Hokage seemed to burst into light blue lightning that surrounded his body. With the activation of this jutsu, the Hokage seemed to dodge the sheathe that she threw quite effortlessly, hinting at the speed that the man had for himself. Even with this in mind, the girl continued her pursuit and used the window sill to push herself off towards the Hokage. Unlike her un-lethal first attack, this one connected with the Rokage’s face. Though, it was to little surprise that the lightning that surrounded his body was more than just a display. With the connection of the punch came an electric shock that travelled throughout her whole arm and even a part of her upper body. The shock caused the girl to messily land on the opposite side of the room from where she originally leaped off the window sill, taking a moment to recuperate as her body recovered from the numbing pain.

Moving at a high speed that Queen could easily read but not quite currently match, the man placed some sort of sticker on her headband that was wrapped around her thigh. The blonde took a quick second to observe the star shaped confidence booster, “you tried” being written on the bright sticker as if the girl hadn’t landed a punch. “More like succeeded.” The girl said to herself after the leader of the leaf village had darted through one of the many windows of the hokage office. Rei would allow Jace to help her up as she listened to the planned he formed. T’is was true, Queen could also sense the man standing behind one the building that stood near the Hokage’s office about 25 meters out. With a quick nod, The girl rushed through one of the windows after recovering her sheath and placing her blade back on her lower back.

Finally out in the open, the weather had changed quite drastically since she had walked over here all of about 8 minutes ago. A heavy rain had befallen the village with sightings of lightning dancing behind the ominous clouds. It was quite a fitting scene for the epic battle of two Genins against their kage. All that was needed was some awesome battle music.

Back to the battle though, Queen began her march, coming from the left side of the building as she ran at 50 speed. Once the girl could detect that Jace was in position, the girl increased her speed through the use of hoho to a full 180, her footsteps being hidden by the sounds of pouring rain. As she would turn the corner, she would see the fireball ready to leave his perfectly tuned lips. With Fifi’s attention hopefully on the Uchiha boy, the girl ran at the man as to come from a blindspot unless he were to turn towards her direction. Still running at her full speed, she would surely catch the man before the fireball was even halfway to reaching the Hokage. As she quickly approached the manly figure, she took note of the lightning armour that still surrounded his body. The girl tightened her fist as she prepared herself for the electric shock, though she wold try to use sheer force to overcome the chakra induced ability.

Once in striking distance, if the Hokage had been to slow to react, or to dodge the attack, she would begin her assault. At a speed of 240 and a strength of 100, the girl through a left jab like punch right at Kurisu’s center that caused a vacuum or pressurized air that had a power of 40. If the blow made contact, the girl would feel the left side of her body go slightly numb from the lightning armour that covered the man’s body, but would push forward to use her right arm to get one more hit in, aiming the blow at the same spot at only half the speed do to the condition of her body being numbed. This would of course take place with Queen driving forward the same time and not halting in her pursuit, So if the punch were to land, it would cause the man to be brought back with the moving girl and launch him backwards. if the second punch was successful, it would cause him to go crashing into a building up ahead, because you know, destroying buildings is Fifi’s favourite pass time.

Clearly Kurisu had grown too comfortable, forgetting to continuously suppress Nike. Thing got blurry and he couldn't really remember when it had started to happen but before he knew it Nike was slowly taking control and influencing Kurisu. It had been so long since a real incident had happened with Nike but Kurisu was stronger than before and knew that he could pull himself together but it meant letting Nike feel as though he'd actually taken control. Letting the malice presence take control was a serious risk but it was also the quickest way to once again suppress Nike and make sure nothing would happen. 

Behind the building he could sense one of the two kids coming from the roof. With Nike in control for the moment his eyes changed to their eternal state while making a pair hand signs to create a clone of himself to the right. 'Well, at least its not a fucking fox. Still disappointing. I'll just play with at least one of them for a minute.' Nike's thoughts referenced having to fight the Kyuubi controlled Koroshi, this was a much easier ordeal. He noticed Jace coming down the roof and launching off a fireball and with a quick glance to the right and then left he'd see Queen coming at him from that left side. "Pathetic weaklings. Die." Nike spoke through Kurisu, two large black wings forming from his back. The sharingan vision made dealing with the attacks very easy, the kill would be simple.

Queen had managed to get in striking distance fairly quick, leaving the fireball still a decent distance away although that wouldn't last long. Nike was not in the mood to play games with both of them, kill one and torture the other was the best plan. Taking a quick couple of steps to the side opposite the fireball he'd dodge Queen's strikes while charging up lightning chakra on his right hand to use hell stab. Flawless transition from dodging the attack to striking at the back of Queen aimed to tear into her heart. 'No no no.' With that Kurisu took advantage of Nike being distract by bloodlust to regain control and stop the hell stab, though he still slammed his right hand forward due to the close distance to shove Queen right at the fireball Jace had sent to him. 'Phew, that was close he nearly did it.' he thought to himself, realizing how stupid it was to let Nike take control for a moment. 

While the actions towards Queen were happening, Nike's clone had moved off to the right to get vision of Jace. Making a blur of four hand signs he'd spit out lava chakra sending three two foot diameter lava orbs at Jace in a triangle pattern with one at the top and the other two being lower and flanking either side of the upper orb. While the orbs were aimed in a way that would miss and impact the area around Jace there was still a catch to it. If Jace made no movement and let the orbs impact the area around him then the explosions of lava would probably end the kids life while any movement that wasn't far would result in the orbs changing trajectory by 45 degrees to still try and strike at Jace. Once Kurisu had gained control the clone's mind would also be freed in the same way although with no way to really stop the attack. 

"Not bad, not bad. Got anything else?" Kurisu would ask, assuming that both genin survived, having pushed Nike to the deep depths of his mind again, a sign of his new control over Nike that would allow him to not be like he was. The black wings vanished in the process along with his eyes returning back to normal. Although he'd returned to control he forgot about how the two genin might react especially to Nike's words.

Immediately after the fireball had escaped Jace's mouth, he picked up his speed and darted at an angle down the wall of the building so that he would come into view by the original kurisu and the clone's view would be blocked by the fireball as the Uchiha ran. If the lava orbs still were launched at him he would just dodge them while he ran. Jace made it to the ground before the fireball had made it halfway to it's destination. What he saw was the Hokage dodging the fireball and charging up chakra in his hand for an attack of his own, aimed at Queen from the looks of it. As he had been running on the wall toward the ground Jace would have made a series of five hand seals. He had also reached his hand into his weapons pouch and started the fuse on an explosive tag within it. This having already been done by the time he saw what was happening, he didn't hesitate in his movements. He continued running at his full speed and stopped in between the blonde and Kurisu, who's hell stab would strike the boy in his chest. He coughed up blood as the attack landed. A smile crossed his face. He had at least saved Queen from the attack. This was beginning to look more and more like a bad idea. He couldn't believe he had let Queen talk him into this. And now he was dying. At least, that's what it would appear to be to those around him. Fortunately that wouldn't last long. 

As soon as the hell stab had hit Jace's chest, there would be a puff of smoke. Jace would appear 5 meters behind Kurisu and in his place would be the explosive tag he had prepared. The instant the substitution was completed, Jace would detonate the tag causing an explosion with a power and speed of 50 to radiate outward from the tag to have a diameter of 1 meter, probably enveloping Kurisu. Hopefully Queen would have noticed in time to get out of range of the explosion. While this was happening, the crows that had been summoned earlier had grown in number once more and were now 30 in total. They had surrounded the 'battlefield' while this was happening, all the while staying within 10 meters of Jace as he moved. When Jace reappeared, he immediately scanned the field with his sharingan, making sure to take note of everything the clone and the real Kurisu were doing.
