Strength [private]

Kino had awoken once the sun had entered his room through the window, casting light from the window to just about three feet away, soon enough lighting up the entire room and hitting Kino's face. He got up, and grabbed what little things he had taken with him on this small short adventure to the chuunin exams, and walked towards the front door. He walked outside, a tad bit tired, rubbing his eye with his right arm, closing his door with his other free hand, the turning around to lock the door.


He walked down the path of Konohagakure, which was leading to the village gates. Kino was disappointed, because he had failed the chuunin exams, giving him a slight feeling that he lacked power, but it was in the past, he got over it quickly and continued onwards towards Kumogakure, his home village. Kino was an Uchiha, having not too much experience as a true shinobi, yet already had fought in a few battles with other shinobi, though nothing big. He continued, kicking small amounts of dirt or dust into the air as he walked tiredly towards the gate. He passed a few shops, some selling weapons, some selling other stuff like food, medicine, and more. He had seen small children playing in the public park, running around, their parents were near by.


Kino finally arrived at the village gates in the after noon, he walked out the gates, pulling his hood on his cloak over his head as the sun beamed down on the forest making it a rather hot day today. Kino felt like training once more before leaving, he charged chakra in his feet and ran up a tree, then sat on the top branch.

Kenal ran through the forest. Dashing around in the lukewarm weather. The sky..was bloodred. Almost sunset..The change from daytime..To nighttime. kenal stared around the forest. looking for the best possible moment. To find someone to spar, Someone else had to be out in the forest right?. Kenal looked around, Partly dumbfounded..No one..No one at all, But then he had an idea. Kenal focused his chakra and ran up a tree, Standing on its branch and looking out. Kenal then with a fist to the air and a yes. Spotted someone else. And with that he jumped tree branch to tree branch. Until he approached the other person..And with one jump, Was going to tackle him right off.

Kino was sitting in the tree, waiting for something to happen, getting bored he thought about training once more. He remember the previous times he had trained in this forest, how many times he was attacked by most likely Konohagakure shinobi. He had remembered that one Uchiha, the first one he had fought around here, nearly killing Kino, but also giving Kino the first tomoe in sharingan. He stood up thinking of those fights in the past, how he couldn't win, though he got over it quickly knowing he was going to find them soon enough, once he knew he had the power to fight them again, and win. Failing the chuunin exams hadn't helped though, he thought he was weaker then he thought he was from before the exams.


Kino looked over the area, standing up, just scanning the area thinking, thinking about what had happened in his past, how his parents had always kept him from the outside world, how he was taught by a shinobi outside of Kumogakure's gates, out of the village, this man was most likely a missing nin, Kino didn't know around that time. He remembered his parents soon after dying on a mission, though this was a neutral moment for Kino, he was happy, and sad, this had allowed him more freedom, a chance to become shinobi, he did become shinobi but lost his parents.


He finished his thoughts, after thinking about his life so far from the beginning, to at that moment. he charged chakra within his feet and looked around noticing it was about to become night time, he wanted to train just a bit before heading for Kumogakure, and this time hopefully undisturbed.


As he was looking for a nice tree to climb, instead of wasting his time he stayed in the tree he was in to look for his next training spot. Next one would probably be the last however, seeing how it was getting late and he still needed to travel home to Kumogakure and get other things done. He ended up being tackled before he could get off the branch, though his chakra held him onto the branch and he hung upside down.

Kyuzo was waking around the forest in a black shirt with the crest on his left sleeve and black shorts looking for someone to help him with his training. He was upset about not becoming chunin but used that as motivation to become stronger and to prove his worth. It was getting late and he was looking around all day from dawn and couldn't find anyone to train with. But as he was walking around he was looking in the trees to see if anyone was in them that could help him with his training. As he was walking he saw a ninja hanging upside down on a tree branch. He looked at the ninja and he saw another ninja jump on the branch the ninja was hanging upside down on. He looked at them both he thought to himself this could be good time to test out my new skill. Kyuzo looked at both the ninja and asked " Would you guys like to spar with me".

Kenal looked up to the man, Or boy..Not too older than him. and sighed, Grasping for dear life on him. ..Why arnt i scared..im dangling over this drop..yet it cant intimidate me..it looks like a simple fall. ...But it would hurt. And then with a blank expression. Kenal looked up at the man, And froze there..He wouldnt move...Kenal had entered his world.. Kenals grip held, But his body then limped. And looked down. Blank..Like a lifeless doll.

-Enter Kenal

Kenal was in a pitch black world...The only thing he saw was lights..With red fire at the end. Kenal walked closer and closer, And as he reached for the torch, He tripped. And he entered a new area..It was all white, And at the perfect brightness. To his right, Half of a statue..Half of kenals face. And when he re entered the dark world. The left half. One hand up and a insane laugh, Carved into the stone. Kenal stepped back into the light world. And continued to walk, A endless forest..Kenal looked behind at the sound of footsteps. The exact same pace as him.and when he turned around. A pitch black kenal, Was following him, With red eyes..And black body...With only white teeth. Holding the blade memento..Except it was spelt backwards..And upsidedown. Kenal ran toward it at the same exact pace. And then slashed at it. And then, Their blades met...At the exact same place. No difference..When kenal jumped back it jumped back. Then the world went clear

-Exit

Kenal looked back up looking at the boy, Then he let go, And slammed memento into the tree trunk next to him..it was so thick..and the tree began to cut. Slide down with the blade in it. Till almost right above ground it froze right in. And kenal dropped. He looked to the man who asked to spar with them..And kenal ran. Kenal ran as fast as he could.

Kenal Continued to run, And then, He went blank. But kept running.

Enter Kenal-

"What are you.." Kenal Spoke. To be replied..With a snake sounding hiss of the same...But it put a chill through kenal..ghostly..As if he was frozen...Couldnt move. Kenal held his sword "Back off!" And lunged it at the shadow. Kenal froze yet again..The tips..Met exactly. Kenal pulled his sword back, And jumped back. the exact same..way... Then kenal..Watched..It's lip Moved..It said "Miss..Mommy..." In its cold voice. Kenal stumbled back. And stared with large eyes..it began to move on its own. Kenal began to step back..As it approached. Kenal slashed..And as expected both tips met... ...I have to outsmart it.. Kenal began to think to himself..Continuing to slash with no hits...And then it spoke again.."Heard that.." and kenal went wide eyed yet again..Stumbling back. Kenal Jumped back. Then executed hand seals..The other one began to copy.." Take this..Clone jutsu!!" As 1 clone appeared. The other did the exact same thing. And kenal Ran forward, With memento in hand, And continued to slash at the other kenal.. It jumping back and slashing at kenals blade as it went. blocking each move. And kenal doing the same. then eventually..Kenal knocked the other kenal back. And kenal was standing..in the light..And the other one in the dark half.. Kenal tried to slam his memento at him. But it hit some hard material..Some type of hard glass, Inbeetween the areas. The other kenal spoke.. "I reccomend you only meet me when your ready..." The kenal spoke. And then it faded away..Kenal started to walk away yet again. In this area the trees were alive..Rustling with leaves.. Kenal continued..Walking and walking the near endless place. Then he sat down. And started drawing in the sand. And with that..What he drew popped up, As a 2D line..But with life.. Kenal drew his toy dinosaur..And then it came up. And started moving. Kenal built blocks and made a wall. then put little people in the kingdom..Kenal made toy arrows and bows..Until he spotted a area..It looked like when a TV would fizzle..Kenal walked. And stepped inside it..

-Exit kenal

Standing upside down on the tree branch, after he was tackled. He took a quick look around and found out a kid, which looked a little bit younger then Kino had tackled Kino. He heard someone ask for a spar, but Kino didn't think this was a good time for him, most likely another Konoha ninja coming for a fight with Kino. He closed his eyes as the kid shortly reached the ground, and his hood from his cloak fell over his head. His chakra failed him, not really, he stopped charging his chakra to the feat and started to fall to the ground, the tree not being to high above the ground, he flipped in midair and landed on his feet, opening his eyes revealing the second stage of sharingan, he looked at the child which was younger then him. Kino looked back at the person who called for a spar, wondering if he should chase the person who had tackled him or stay here for a fight, both led towards violence, yet Kino thought about which one he would most likely stand a chance in, both seemed younger then himself, looking back and forth as the one running got further, Kino looked at the person who asked for a spar, looking at him with an annoyed look, a look that would suggest a maybe later, or it would just look like he wasn't in the mood.


Kino followed the one who tackled him, he was sure the other shinobi would follow thinking the spar was either this way, or something was up, then again the shinobi might stay and not spar Kino. He followed the one who tackled him.

Kyuzo saw that one of the shinobi started to run away from the other shinobi. Kyuzo looked at the face of the shinobi and saw that he didnt look happy at him. The shinobi started to run after the one that ran away. Kyuzo stood there wondering what was going on between the two of them. Kyuzo saw that one was from the leaf and the other was an outsider by there headbands. So Kyuzo started to run after the outsider. As he was running not too far behind the outsider shinobi where Kyuzo tossed a kunai trying to get his shoulder but hit a tree beside him. Kyuzo grabbed another kunai and just kept running behind him thinking what he could do. But Kyuzo didnt want to get close to him since he didnt know the strength that the shinobi had. So Kyuzo kept his distance but stayed close enough to have him in his sights.

Kenal turned around and saw the two. And then..He clenched the middle of his chest. And with a AWK! fell down,

-enter Kenal

Kenal Got up weakly, And looked around the world. Turning all the way around. Then kenal looked around, At his shadow, As it rose to its own being. As soon as kenal turned, He was stabbed in the shoulder by the shadow. and fell to the ground. holding it. And as soon as that happened, The world infront started to shift, The black half started consuming. Eating this halfs trees. And it covered more land than before.. Kenal looked up. And then raised memento, Slashing at the shadow, Then it hit. It hit the shoulder. Then just as kenal expected..This side grew.. Kenal had control of this region..And the other that other region. Kenal spoke "Back off..." every time he swung the blade. Eventually the other one faded yet again. and kenal was set to wander. then he saw the way out. And simply stepped into the area. And kenal returned to his body. Kenal got up. In what would in this area last a second..

-Exit kenal

Kenal when up and having ground. Turned to his pursuer. And then Dug to the ground with his feet, Getting into a stance "Bring it on!"

Kino continued running towards the one who had tackled him, a person who had not appeared too much younger then Kino. He was also being chased by an even younger person then the one who tackled him, by the looks of it anyways. Kino had not known the exact ages, but was sure that he was older then both. His sharingan was activated, even though he may not have needed it active, he kept it active due to something being able to happen at any time at any moment at any second. He continued running, as he ran he charged a small amount of chakra within his steps hoping to make him move faster, even if it was a it, the person he was chasing seemed to be more faster then Kino.


Kino took out his blade, continueing to chase the person who tackled him, taking his blade out half way to where the blade of the sword could be seen but was still in the holder. He continued chasing the person, when he fell down to the ground, he soon got up yelling "Bring it on". Kino put a smile on his face seeing the shinobi seemed to finally want a fight, not knowing how far back the other one who asked for a spar was, he charged for the one who tackled him, putting away his blade. He kept his sharingan active as he moved his body lower to the ground, planting his hand on the ground and swinging his leg.

Kyuzo was running right behind the shinobi in front of him from a safe distance and noticed that he was getting faster. So Kyuzo wondered how he was getting so fast all of a sudden so Kyuzo started to speed up so he wouldnt lose him. Kyuzo was starting to lose him after a few minutes of chasing him so he decided to use body flicker to get right beside him. As soon as he got beside him he started to do the hand signs of the dragon flame with on hand while he kept his other hand ready to defend an attack if the man he was chasing tried to attack him.
