From stealing village ryo to training with ice clo

Sakuragi woke up from his illusionary dream, where he stole the village ryo, he stole all of it by. It was something he would never imagine to do in real life, his mind just seems to play games with him, he was tricked in his own dream to think he stole the village's ryo. He woke up from his long sleep at the dead of the night. Tho the night was chilly and calm, he was sweating profusely. This isn't typical of Yuki ninja. The body  of yuki is always cool with low temperature regardless of the surrounding temperature, this is due to the clan ice release element and their Yuki physiology. Sakuragi would wake up with his eyes wide open, trying to comprehend what he had seen in his dream, he would take a deep breath with his eyes closed. It was true he needed ryo, he needed ryo to buy the materials he needed to completely craft his twin tiger weapon, but he isn't that greedy to the extent of betraying his own village. It seems his mind was just too focused on crafting the weapon on time. The boy would calm his heart and regarded this experience as just a mere dream that could never happen. He would be loyal to his village till death. He would protect it not betray it. The young boy would lay down and enjoy a long sleep till day break. 
The sun smiles brightly from the sky, the bright smile would radiate through the window and Into sakuragi room. The window curtain was up, so the light could easily penetrate.  His eyes opened slightly  till they  were fully able to see the light of the day, it was morning and he had enjoyed a long sleep. His mind wanna mess up his night with the crazy dream he had, even if he attempted that in reality, he would be killed by his village ninjas for betraying his village. Tho, he isn't an easy foe, he wouldn't be able to stand his ground against several ninjas that would come his way.  
Sakuragi was half naked on his bed, wearing only his black short. He would get out of bed and reached out for his clothing  and black shinobi sandals. He wasn't sure how today would go, he hadn't really planned anything, he really worked his ass out yesterday, he got so tired that just went to sleep immediately after having dinner with his family.  That's something not typical of sakuragi, he would always plan the next day ahead. Well,  today looks promising, he got dressed in his shinobi attires, his village headband tied tightly to his forehead. He was gonna visit the zoo, or an amusement park or go train. Whatever it will be, he needed to eat breakfast first, his parent were still on bed, sakuragi believed they probably sleep late so it's reasonable for them to wake up late.  The young Kiri boy would have a two big  hamburger and a bottle of soft drink for breakfast, that's the fastest food he could eat here without much stress.  After eating breakfast , he would carry his shinobi across his back and headed out into the street. The street of Kirigakure is always a fun place to be, little kids were running up and down the street while it's morning. Market women and men are yet to open their shops for business, some have, most haven't.






Sakuragi would walk pass the beautiful street of Kiri with a radiant smile on his face. A thought would cross his mind, he hadn't trained for a lot of days.  This wasn't typical of sakuragi, as he was someone who always love training with the motive of becoming the strongest ninja in world. His fellow ninjas are in war in suna, tho news reaching here says it will soon be over and most Kiri ninjas will soon be back. There is to be another village invasion by Kiri, sakuragi couldn't go to suna because he was tasked with protecting the village, however, he would go when it's time for Hoshigakure invasion. It would be stupid to underate those he would encounter there. Hoshigakure is the village hidden in stars, a home of several high ranking deadly ninjas, the likes of the legendary Valen of Akari clan. If he was gonna come back alive, he needed to prepare as much as he can. Best offense is best defense. He needed to create more jutsu, spend time with himself, meditations, trainings and the likes. His adamantine mind told him he's got little time to train before the the Mizukage and other Kiri nins return from the war. Once they are back,  it's only a matter of time before they head out to Hoshi. His adamantine would tell him to go and train. He  didn't really have a plan today, he was just gonna take a long walk across the village before going back home, but his persistent adamantine mind keeps telling him he needed training, his feeble will, would succumb to the strong force of his hardened mind, he would change his direction of walk and head out to his usual training ground. 
Sooner or later, Kiri nins would be here, the villagers would welcome them, they would rest for weeks or months before preparing to attack Hoshigakure, sakuragi did not know the reason for the village invasion, but his lust for battle and bloodshed made him join the squad. what a dreadful way of life for a boy of twelve years!. Kiri had been know for brutality, even killing fellow ninjas of their own village is not found wanting in the village, it seems every descendant from the village was birth in war blood from heaven, as their lust for battle increases day by day. Sakuragi would brace his mind for what lay ahead of him. He was gonna spend the whole day training it's a good thing he ate breakfast before leaving home or he would have starve on the training field. Several brutal thought lingers on the boy's mind as he heads toward the sea bank which is his favourite training spot.





WC: 1027

Sakuragi reached the sea bank, it was not such a long journey so he got here in time.  The waves of the sea roars at his face as he tread soft ground covered in fine sand. He wasn't sure what he was here to do.  A thought flashed through his mind that he should battle his ice clones. They are exact copies of him so they have almost the same abilities. It would like he was battling himself. The field here is big enough for a battle and this would be a perfect place for a match. Battling his ice clones would hone his skills at least to some extent. He would run a series of hand seals, ice would sprout out of his body to form a ice clone, an exact copy of sakuragi. The ice clone would form some inches in front of sakuragi. The clone was aware of the original’S will. He wanted a battle. They had done something of this kind before during his five days training, where he spar with two Clones and defeated them. The clones had almost the same abilities as the original, able to use only ice jutsu and some other abilities. Sakuragi would walk away from his clone till he was  five metres away facing his clone. One of them has to attack first, would it be sakuragi or his clones?.  He wasn't sure but he's not gonna be an easy foe to his clone. 

Ice clone
His clones would run a series of hand seals, yelling the name of the jutsu “ certain ice spear kill”. Ten ice spear would sprout of the ground to impale sakuragi, it seems the clone was going hard on him already. Two ice spear would sprout out in front of him, two at his right side, two at his left side and another two behind him, all ice spears  sprout at a distance of five metres away from sakuragi at a speed of 120 ,  ice spears sprout upward slantly toward sakuragi direction, if they hit they would rip him apart with little or no effort. The ice clone watched from where he was standing hoping to make an ice win, he however knows his original would be able to counter that. 

Sakuragi 
A smirk would appear on sakuragi face as his clone began to make hand seals, he knew definitely something dangerous is coming, how dangerous it would be he doesn't know. In an instance , several ice spear would sprout out of the ground, sprouting upward and few metres away from him. Sakuragi would simply duck under at a speed of 100, such that the ice spears would sprout above him while he duck under, now standing on his knees. He would use the yin art healing wound destruction, if he wasn't fast enough to dodge the spear, if the ice spears cuts through his body. Luckily, he was able to dodge, it was a narrow escape, sakuragi didn't escape the clone to be that hard on him. Well he have to act fast before the clone attack again. He would leap out of the open space, at 2'O clock. He would appear to be facing his own clone. He pulled out a kunai and  began running towards his own clone , when he was two meters away from the clone he would hurl the kunai at the clones face,  he hopes his kunai connect.  Still on the run towards the clone while expecting a reaction from the clone.

Ice clone 
Sakuragi would easily dodge the ice spears by ducking under the ice spears and later leap out of the open space. He would run toward the clone and throw a kunai at a distance of two metres away from the user. With that speed, the clone would dodge to the side with the kunai passing through the side of his head, not hitting him tho. With the original running towards the clone, the Clone would aim a kick at the boy's face at maximum speed with his right leg . If the sakuragi would try to duck, the clone will turn around and deliver a side kick to the torso of the boy. It was a weak attack but the clone did it tactically, all actions are done at Max speed. The clone expect his original to be able to block or evade his attack. His eyes were wide open for any unsuspected attack or tricks the original might wanna play on him .

Sakuragi
He aimed the kunai well at the clone face but the clone easily dodge by stepping to the side, the clone would deliver a kick to his face, probably thinking he would dodge it, however,  sakuragi block the kick with his hand, hence the clone side kick is not performed. Sakuragi would sweep his leg feet across the clone's one leg remaining on the ground to get my off balance,  I. e off the his feet/ground. He expect his clone to evade that easily, as it was a simple attack. 

Ice Clone 
sakuragi would block the clone'S  kick easily, contrary to what the clone thought, he didn't dodge, he just blocked the kick and Delivered a sweeping kick to the other leg left on the ground. The clone have to act fast or he would soon be get off balance,  as sakuragi would sweep his leg across the clone's leg on the ground, the clone's would jump up with his feet attempting  stomp the leg on the ground, which this connect, it would snap sakuragi 'S bone. This is a simple but delicate attack that could cripple sakuragi if he isn't careful. By this time the battle had only just began, with the two giving it their all, they still have a lot of stamina and energy so none of the two could pass out now. This was a battle of strength, not just of strength but of will. Sakuragi against his own ice clone, Who will succumb first?. 
The clone made sure he timed his counter attack hoping to end the match sooner. He had no worries about snapping the original‘S leg , he could use medic ability to heal that...



TWC: 2063

Sakuragi
The clone was wise enough to know what to do, he reacted  fast enough to quick attack, turning into a counter attack that would snap the bones in sakuragis leg if it connect. As the clone jumped up to stomp his leg, sakuragi would swirled his leg past the clone's stomp and would deliver a kick to his belly that would send the clone flying backward. if the kick connect, sakuragi would throw a kunai at the 
clone's face,  attached with explosive tag . The tag would explode  everything within five metres radius including the clones face, should the clone try to evade by dodging to the side, sakuragi would throw another kunai aiming for the Clone's torso, this Time, kunai isn't attached with an explosive, if it hit, it will slash through the flesh of the clone, dealing massive damage. Sakuragi may not be skilled in close range compact but he's got this one. Not his clone is gonna stop him from getting strong. 

Clone 
The ice clone made a good counter attack but he didn't expect expect sakuragi to be that fast., he moved his leg swiftly before the clone stomp his leg.  Sakuragi would send a kick to his belly, the clone manage to block the kick by putting both arms in the way, but the kick still had enough force to send him flying backward some distance.  A kunai with explosive tag would come flying at his face, the clone would dash to the side, the kunai would dash past him and exploded some distance away from him. Another kunai would come flying at his torso, the clone would dash to the side again to avoid getting hit by the kunai. It would be a different case if sakuragi had thrown both kunai at the same in different direction, but that wasn't the case here, so it was easy for the clone to dodge. This battle has been quite a tough one for both parties, each putting their very best into the fight to make sure they win. The clone even tho he knew he may not win still put in all his effort. 
The clone was now at three O'clock clock to sakuragi direction. He would hop backward few feet away and began to run handseals. In an instant, a white translucent dome would spread out in all direction up to twenty five metres, anything caught in the jutsu will freeze to death. This juts use to be his favourite before he learned the snow hawk routing jutsu. His own clone about to freeze him to death, what would be his reaction to this?.


Sakuragi 
Easily the clone dodged both kunais by dashing to the side, the clone hoped few distance backward and ran a series of handseals , a dome of white chakra expand across the sea bank. Sakuragi had little or no time to react to this, because it was an all direction jutsu, dodging would somehow be difficult. Sakuragi wouldn't think of dodging, he would quickly run three handseals and all wall of mirror would form in front of him. Sakuragi would leap inside the ice mirror  , the dome of white translucent  chakra couldn't affect him. It only pass by the ice mirror. Sakuragi was a killer shinobi would had a lot of jutsu in his arsenal, he choose however to try to refrain from using jutsu, unless when there's need to. Sakuragi was able to completely sheild himself from tramscluent chakra,  it was probably his turn to attack and he wouldn't slow down on that.  He would leap out of the ice mirror and throw a smoke bomb in front of him, this was to prevent his opponent from seeing through his next attack. He would body flicker two metres behind the clone to slash him with a kunai, the smokebomb was to distract the clone, would the clone be able to fend off this attack? 

Ice clone 
As the white translucent dome expand, sakuragi waste no time, he would form a series of handseals and something that looks like a mirror would form in front of him, he would leap into it and this would shield him from being freeze.  Sakuragi would leap out of the mirror, after the attack, he would throw a smoke bomb to obscure his opponent vision. Sakuragi would flicker behind the the clone two metres. However the clone could hear foot steps behind him, he would also pull out a kunai from the ninja bag to block the attack. Since a clone have all the tools and weapon of the original upon use of the clone jutsu. The ice clone also have the ninja tools on them too. The clone would block the kunai slash with his own kunai and crest some space between him and sakuragi. He would back wards to create at least ten meters spacing between them. The clone seems to be getting confused, not knowing what to do to beat the original.  He would begin to run a series of hand seals, he was probably about to use one  the deadliest jutsu in sakuragi’S jutsu, a jutsu  that sakuragi said it can't be dodged because of the nature of the jutsu. The clone was now facing sakuragi with the previous ice mirror to the side of sakuragi. Instantly, long sharp ice needles will appear every where around sakuragi. Sakuragi wouldn't believe his clone could use this against him, it was one of his deadliest jutsu. His mouth and Eyes were wide open as the jutsu form at instataneous speed. The needles were about twenty metres away from sakuragi.  The needles raced towards him at instant speed, luckily the ice mirror was just right beside him. how would he react to this? 

Sakuragi 
Sakuragi  saw an instant death jutsu used by his ice clone. He would die if he couldn't find a way to escape this jutsu. The jutsu  was his deadliest, even if he death die, he would freeze from within. 
Luckily there was the ice mirror he created earlier, he would leap into it as the needles rained toward him from every direction. It was kind of a narrow escape. The clone was going very hard on sakuragi. 
Sakuragi was still in the ice mirror, finally he would speak, “ Hey,  you're going too hard, I didn't expect you to use that jutsu, it's my deadliest jutsu, I was luckily to have escaped that. He remained in his ice mirror observing what the clone would do next. It wasn't because he didn't have chakra, he had enough reserved chakra to battle, he just wouldn't attack, he probably would observe and look for a way to defeat the ice clone.

Ice clone 
The clone was really going real hard, the tech the clone used was one of sakuragi's strongest jutsu. Because of it range and the nature of the jutsu, it was pretty hard to dodge, sakuragi however got luckily because there was an ice mirror  close to him which he could leap into. He quickly leaped into the ice mirror. Still in the mirror, he choose not to attack, he just stood there and watch the clone to see his next move. It seems the clone will need to destroy the ice mirror to win this battle. The white death jutsu did some damage to the ice mirror, but that's not enough to stronger it, problem, something more damaging. The clone was few metres away from sakuragi, he would weave a series of handseal and spew large dragon like ice flame, the ice flame took the form of a dragon. The jutsu moved at an incredible intense speed, it would move towards sakuragi, seeking to destroy both the mirror and the person inside.  Hopefully, sakuragi would be able to counter his own tech.

Sakuragi 
As expected, the clone attacked him once again with an ice jutsu. One of his finest badass tech. The jutsu would fly at him at intense speed, sakuragi stayed inside the ice mirror. Even though he knew the mirror had been slightly damaged. He however thought the mirror will be able to stop the jutsu the clone used. The snow hawk ramed the ice mirror, shattering it and knocking him distance away. The ice mirror reduce the snowkhawaling jutsu significantly, almost reducing it to nothing. The rest of the jutsu was what knock sakuragi distance away. Sakuragi was knocked off, flying several distance away, bruising his left arm in the process.  He would however stop twenty metres away from the clone. The clone probably never thought the jutsu would hit. He never intended to hurt him. Sakuragi would would slowly get back on his feet  , it seems he really got pissed off this time, a soft smirk would appear on the his face. “Now it's my turn”, he said as he weaved series of handseals, a giant water beast would form out of no where in front of sakuragi. This is starting to get interesting. Sakuragi never intend to use jutsu in this fight, but the clone push him beyond his limit point. The first he would be using jutsu in this fight, he used his favourite tech. He often use this tech to pressure his opponent. Sakuragi wants an interesting fight, he wanted one front the clone. Suddenly, the water beast would launch a powerful torrent of water from it mouth , the torrent moved at intense speed toward the clone .  The torrent of water covers several metres in diameter,  racing towards the clone to devour everything in its path..  If the clone can't dodge, he would be devored with everything that obstruct the torrent.

Ice clone 
With a jutsu of this calibre,  the clone needs to be extra careful. The water beast juts that sakuragi summoned would fire a powerful torrent of water that raced towards the clone at intense speed. 
 The ice clone would weave a series of handseal, instantly the ice mirror that sakuragi summoned earlier would appear in front of the clone, protecting everything behind the mirror. The ice mirror shatters into pieces. It greatly reduced the powerful of the water jutsu to some extent. The remaindant of the power of the water torrent  would send the clone  flying across the sea bank severeal metres away. Landing on the ground, it would seem the attack was too powerful for the clone to bear. The clone started bleeding on his arms. The damage done was severed and there was bruises all over his face. He would fade away sooner or later.







The clone slowly  got up on his feet, Walking slowly towards the original,  he said the parting Words “ That was one hell of a powerful jutsu ” he said as he crumbled into fragments of ice. A bright smirk appear on sakuragi. He has done a lot of feelings today. When he left the house, he didn't really know what he was gonna spend the day doing, but an idea came to him and he choose to follow it, the idea was to go train with his clone and he followed it.  Right before  His very own eyes are the fragment of his own ice clone jutsu. The clone was almost as powerful as he was. Highly skilled as he was, he had displayed his potentials in the short spar with sakuragi. 
It was past noon already, almost evening. Sakuragi had train all his best for today, the spar with his clone leaves him no choice but to head home early. The battle had left him tired and stress out . He will need to go home, freshen up and have a lot of rest.
