[SP] Childhood

Wed Aug 29, 2018 11:06 am

Kiro woke up in his bedroom and rose both of his arms to clean his eyes from anything that was limiting his sight, stepping outside of his bed. He had been using his clan house lately because of the other Uchiha clan members understanding what happens and deciding to act like nothing really happened before the Village’s elder council because they would be able to notice changes in their behavior and way of thinking. He stretched his arms back and released a soft yawn, proceeding to lock his eyes on the drawer nearby his bed. The child approached the wooden drawer by walking across the room and opened it using it’s metallic handle, picking up his outfit and putting it on, smiling lightly to the Uchiha crest stuck to the back of his shirt. One would say that he was acting weirdly and extremely happy, but he was just proud of having a clan full of powerful fighters and experienced Shinobi that help each other in times of need. Or at least, most of the time. He had noticed that there weren’t many Uchiha remaining outside of the Uchiha district because of the course of events that took place in Konohagakure, and most of the others had left the village and turned into wanderers because they knew the risks of being in a village and what could happen to them if they stayed in. The boy was already picking notice that people found his eyes interesting and tried to approach him just for their power, understanding that they were not people he should be hanging out with and instead he should continue training in the different training locations that Konohagakure no Sato provided to the future Shinobi that would substitute them as the new and next generation. He was happy that people of high importance like Jounins, etcetera, in this world were saying that they had a promising future. He looked at himself in a mirror and started to look at his body, finding out that there was some dust on his clothing after the training sessions that he had been through.

The blue-haired and eyed child turned his body to face the exit of his bedroom and gently opened it, focusing his eyes on the stairs and looking down to the first floor to see if there was someone. Like he had initially thought, there was clearly no one so he proceeded to walk down the stairs in a calm and slow motion just in case because he didn’t want to trip over and hit himself. Kiro scanned the area with the keen eyes of his and sighed in disappointment on himself because he was scared of seeing someone that would attempt to attack him or something of that matter. The boy slowly opened his eyes and noticed someone holding a kunai on his palm, shooting it to his right and proceeding to launch another at the previously thrown kunai, redirecting it towards him with extreme skill and aim. Instinctively, a grin soared across his face and drew a kunai of his own, shooting it at the kunai directed at him to counter it and make it hit the ground. His ninja supply, once it hit the opponent’s kunai, rose to the roof of his house and fell to the ground, sticking inside of it! He swiftly rose his eyes to see one of his childhood friends, called Kaito, that wore a Chûnin Vest, Konohagakure headband on his waist and had a golden yet short ponytail. The two boys cracked a laugh out loud and proceeded to fist bump each other in a friendly and happy manner. Kaito was a Genin at the age of 12 and was promoted at the age of 14 after completing a certain mission that the Hokage personally sent him on and had always been training Kiro since, developing a very deep and special bond between the two that would always lead them to glory. “Long time no see, Kiro! Seems like you’ve graduated from the Academy already, eh? Congratulations! I was sent on a mission to take a very important person to The Village Hidden in the Sound for some important matters and to take him back here,” the male began in a proud and joyful tone of voice, raising a thumb to form a thumbs up. ”It might sound easy, but I was attacked by two missing Shinobi! Though, with the power of my…” he continued to speak about his mission until he scanned the room and rubbed his chin, confusedly. Kaito slowly rose his head and grit his teeth, guessing that what his parents didn't want to happen finally took place.

”Kiro, don’t tell me… Your older sister returned to the village and killed your father and mother?!” he exclaimed in anger and sadness, clenching his fist tightly while imagining the images that the child had to see when the dearest person in the world to him killed two of the most important people that helped them grow into the people that they were today, even if she did have a good reason. The golden-haired Uchiha never spoke about what his sister did and that he knew the truth to what had actually happened to her but never told his younger friend because it would shock him and it would potentially cause chaos in the clan, as much as he wanted that not to happen. ”You knew about everything, and you didn’t tell me, right?” he questioned his best friend while he looked down to the floor, feeling the pain that he once felt when their precious bond was at such a stake. The man with a ponytail suddenly rose his head in surprise and stepped back, falling in shock for a single moment. ”I’m sorry, Kiro. I knew if I told you the truth everything we’ve built together would fall apart. Our bond isn’t something I wanted to disappear just because of the actions that your parents performed against your older sister, Kana, when they lied to the village about her actions.” The boy’s eyes suddenly widened after hearing what his parents actually did to his older sister, making her go trough unbreakable pain; the reason she came back to Konohagakure was to ease her pain by killing their parents?! This was a lot of information that he had yet to process, so he sat down on the floor and started to imagine what his sister was doing outside of the two gigantic village entrances and surely it was not a very good lifestyle. She lived with her teammates in one of the mines that Konohagakure used to own and now shares with Kirigakure, fighting other Shinobi to stay alive in the deepest parts of the caves and also to steal their items and money to sell them to some Black Market because they would need it to buy food and other items that they needed in their adventures.

Kiro sighed in disbelief and shook his head, raising his eyes to see an arm handing down to him. It was Kaito’s. The child flashed a bright smile on his small face and accepted the palm of his best friend, letting him help him rise to his feet. The two spoke about the events and tried to get to a solution to everything that they had found, knowing that his sister was going to probably return to Konohagakure no Sato, stronger than ever, in the attempt of destroying it with the help of her teammates. They decided that it would be better to start living together because it would help them communicate, better their bond and to train together to achieve the strength necessary to defeat the younger boy’s sister and help her regain the power that she once lost when the village kicked her for false rumors. The blue-haired child hugged the older Chûnin and bowed his head slightly downward, declaring that they should spar together like they always used to do when he was younger. When becoming a Shinobi was just a dream to him. ”Let’s go to the Uchiha training grounds, and see if I have gotten stronger than you or not!” he exclaimed in both a tone of excitement and happiness, proceeding to grab Kaito’s arm and to lead the way to the training grounds that they used to use as Children to train and to play together when the teen didn’t have to take part of any type of missions. The arena that they found was of 50 meters in width where they marked the spot that each one of them had to stand on before they declared the beginning of the fight. The ground was made of pure sand and it not that resistant either, noticing that most of his techniques would be able to break through it and disable their ability to return to a part of the arena. He rubbed his chin momentarily and started to think of ideas that could help him defeat his childhood friend, Kaito. They agreed on making a rule about not leaving the perimeter of the arena, and if they did they would end off losing the spar.

And so, the battle began!

Their furious battle began with Kaito, the older man and more experienced Shinobi, charging forward and revealing three kunai between his fingers in each hand, launching the first three to the air and the second pair after a few seconds with incredible aim to pierce through the small circle that the kunai had as a handle, shooting them straight at him with incredible speed and perception. The male hadn’t revealed his sharingan yet, meaning that he knew he could defeat his opponent, Kiro, without much of a problem. Because of him taking a few moments to prepare his initial strike, this gave Kiro the opportunity to go through a set of hand seals and reveal a shield of chakra before him. The kunai that were initially launched at him with incredible perception suddenly turned around and were shot at an even higher speed to the Chûnin and forced him to unleash his crimson-eyes for a single moment which gave him enough information about the trajectory of the ninja supplies and how to evade them. You could explain it as if time freezes for him when he uses his eyes that bring sorrow and hatred. A small smile rushed across his face and immediately turned into a serious look, drawing out two kunai and launching one of them to his left, following with another one that redirected the first one and sent it in the direction of his childhood friend that focused his normal eyes on to find out their trajectory once more. This time around, however, he was able to just step by the attack and to draw two shuriken of his own at a curved trajectory aimed at his two legs. Kiro performed a single hand seals and disappeared from his opponents line of sight, substituting his body with a wooden log that took the two weapons like nothing as they just remained sticking there.

The boy appeared next to his friend to deliver a swift roundhouse kick to the back of his knee and to make him fall to the floor. His attempt was successful because he caught his opponent with his guard down, but it suddenly disappeared into a poof. Kaito appeared behind the child to grab his right arm and to pull it to his back, buckling him like that and making him unable to perform any actions without feeling immense pain. The Chûnin knew his childhood friend couldn’t perform one handed seals yet considering his age and rank, knowing that they would have to train for that later and hopefully learn how to do it. ”Ouch! That burst, Kaito! Please, release me,* he said in a saddened tone of voice as a small tear formed on the corner of his right eye. The older man suddenly backed off and released the arm of the child, who went ahead and performed to seals for the Gôkakyou no Jutsu technique. In other terms, the Great Fireball technique. He suddenly kneaded chakra inside of his stomach and released a gigantic sphere of fire in the direction of his opponent that suddenly disappeared and appeared away by a few meters. Kaito performed the Shûnshin no Jutsu without the use of any hand seals which allowed him to get more time to react to the attack than to figure out the required seals for the technique. ”Cool, right?” his friend said in a happy tone of voice as a grin formed on his face. ”We’re not over yet! Next is a Taijutsu only spar,” he added in a joyful tone of voice, entering an offensive stance.

Kiro followed after him, standing ten meters away from the middle of the arena, and entered a fighting stance of him, indicating the beginning of their spar. The two charged forward and met with each other inside of the middle circle, the first attack being performed by the Chûnin when he rose a palm to strike him in the gut. Kiro was perceptive enough to lower his palm and to reach out his arm to stop the blow and to deliver a powerful punch to his the golden-haired Uchiha’s chest that sliding back slightly. Considering how weak and inexperienced the blue-haired Uchiha’s Taijutsu was in comparison to his opponent’s, it was obvious that the latter was holding back against him because he didn’t want to injure the boy. ”I give up, Kaito. There is no point in fighting if you won’t use your full strength against me,” he said in a gentle tone of voice, sighing in disappointment of his friend’s action which was enough to grow sadness and anger in the man with a ponytail’s heart. He thought that he was going to make his childhood friend feel better if he held back against him and let him win, but it resulted to be the contrary because he figured out that he was holding back and that he was not going to learn anything like that. He stepped up and approached the younger Shinobi, placing a palm on his shoulder and revealed a gentle and friendly smile. ”I won’t do that ever again, Kiro. Because I did that, I will teach you how to use the Shadow Clone technique,” Kaito said, nodding his head multiple times, and held the boy’s arm tightly to help him get up to his feet.

The blue-haired child figured out that his plan had worked and that he was going to finally learn a technique that would influence the course of battle in multiple cases. Kiro nodded his head once to the adult and asked him to lead the way to wherever they were going to practice this new jutsu. They head into the forest where the Aburame used to train most of the time and head into their training grounds to begin their next task in their training session that resulted to be learning a forbidden Jutsu that not many people knew how to use and that he was lucky enough to have someone so nice teach him how to use. The two had finally arrived to an area that was full with training dummies and grass on the floor where they could rest on if they wished or fall on without getting injured. Kaito walked forward, closer to one of the training dummies, and did the clone seal with his hands while gathering chakra on his stomach. He suddenly unleashed it with all of his might and two clones appeared next to him almost immediately, starting to move individually and train while following his orders. He proceeded to explain how the technique worked and how he was supposed to work; he also stated that the first attempts of his would seem quite lifeless and wouldn’t do much aside from falling to the ground and dying by themselves but that would be something that he was going to fix while he trained his chakra and practiced the technique! Kaito returned closer to his friend and pet his head with much care and love, telling him to go where he was to train the Jutsû too. ”Release! the Chûnin thought and unsummoned his clones, flashing a gentle smile while he observed his friend take a short breath and process the information he was given.

The boy slowly opened his eyes and proceeded to perform the clone seal with both of his hands by pressing them together, starting to gather chakra on his stomach slowly but surely because there was a certain amount of chakra that didn’t have to be exceeded or that the Jutsû would fail to work. He then proceeded to unleash all of the chakra gathered and created a single clone next to him that seemed like the first attempts of the Clone technique. Kiro punched it in the gut and saw how it disappeared in a puff, releasing a sigh of disbelief and continued to practice the technique over and over until the sun had completely fallen down and was suddenly replaced by the moon standing tall in the sky, creating a very refreshing and calming feeling that he was seemingly not able to understand and shrugged it off to look at his partner. ”Good job, Kiro. You’ve learned how to use the Shadow Technique, even if it did take you a while. Two hours, approximately. We should get to your house or mine to sleep, because it really is dark now and we don’t want to get lost,” Kaito said in a happy and rewarding tone of voice, proceeding to, if allowed, pick Kiro up in a bridal style and to jump from tree to tree until they reached the house of the golden-haired male. The younger boy had fell asleep between his arms, so the Chûnin proceeded to take him to his bed and to sleep next to him with no impure intentions whatsoever. The room was silent and calm so it helped them sleep well, something that the two appreciated.

”Good night, Kiro. was the only thing Kaito said before turning off the lights.
