Conflict in the Hidden Leaf!
Reji opened his eyes and was welcomed by the gleaming white light drifting from the moon and stars. “I-I’m still in the training grounds,” he thought, “I must have used too much chakra during my training.” The spiky red haired boy picked himself up and slowly trotted out of the battle field and headed home.
“I have to be more careful when I’m training; I can’t risk feinting out in the open like that.” The boy murmured. As the boy walked down the concrete path with his hands in his blue jean pockets he looked up at the stars.
“They sure are beautiful; mom and dad would have loved a night like this.” He thought. Reji’s mother and father, Samantha and James were both ninja who were known for their speed. They died protecting the village from a sneak attack during the 3rd great ninja war. As the boy rummaged through the thoughts of his decease parents a sudden plea screeched the air, like a nail scratching a chalk board.
“Help! Someone please help me.” Someone shouted the sound of fear in every inch of their voice. Reji immediately stopped in his tracks and turned his head searching for the source of the desperate plea. As he insidiously crept to the other side of a blue, two story building, there was a short, crippled, elderly man at least in his fifties being cornered by another tall, masculine man. The tall man wore a navy blue Hidden Rain village headband strapped to his forehead, short neon green hair, an ink black flk jacket, black pants, with matching black shinobi shoes.
“What is a Hidden Rain village ninja doing in the Leaf village? So much black, could he be an assassin?” Reji asked himself.
“Please, sir, spare me I have done nothing wrong. I’ll give you anything, just please spare my life.” the old man begged desperately fearing for the worst.
“Oh and why should I? The Leaf village is nothing but trash anyway, you should thank me for doing this. Your Hokage killed our God, and you think I will let you live!” The Rain ninja yelled.
“What is this guy talking about? What God?” the boy pondered. Unexpectedly the Hidden Rain assassin pulled out a thin Kunai and looked as if he were ready to stab the man.
“Please I beg of you!” The elder yelled.
“I guess that’s my cue.” The determined young boy said. Reji sprung forward and kicked the deadly assassin in his visage, sending him flying and crashing into a nearby garden.
“Are you okay Mr.?” Reji asked. The old man nodded assuring that he had not been harmed physically.
“W-Who are you young man?” He asked.
“My name is Reji S. Myga, Gennin ninja with a need for speed.” The flaming red haired boy answered in a prideful manner.
“*Heh*, a little Gennin that want to play hero huh, you actually think you can beat me?” The Rain ninja asked.
“I won’t know until I try and plus someone has to teach you to respect your elders.” Reji replied. The old man scurried away to find a hiding spot for he did not want to see the bloodshed in this particular battle. Leaving Reji with the deadly Rain village assassin, the elderly man shouted that he would not forget Reji’s name.
“Okay then kid, if you want to fight, then it’s a fight you got.” The Rain ninja said. Suddenly the ninja from the village Hidden in the Rain jumped out of the garden and headed straight for him.
“That’s my line.” The boy taunted.
“I hope I can pull off the Shadow Clone Jutsu because I think I might need it.” Reji thought. The speedy young Gennin pulled out a kunai and stood in a good enough position for both offence and defense.
Klink, Cling, Clang, Clank! The two ninja were slamming their blades into each other with an incredible amount of speed and force, sending sparks flying. “You’re pretty good for a kid but now it’s time for me to settle this.” The Hidden Rain ninja taunted.
With an intense amount of speed the Hidden Rain ninja made the hand signs Ram and Serpent. “I’ll finish this, Water Style: Water Fang Bullet!” furan ninja thought. All of a sudden the Hidden Rain ninja gathered water in its mouth and shot multiple aqua projectiles at Reji.
“What the!” the boy said with shock. The Hidden Leaf Village Gennin began to dodge the multiple aqua projectiles while forming the hand signs Ram, Serpent, and Tiger.
“Looks like I’m gonna have to fight fire with fire, Shadow Clone Jutsu!” The flame headed boy yelled. Reji began to form and mold chakra and two solid clones appeared right beside him.
“Alright Shadow Clone Jutsu complete.” Reji thought.
“You’ll be good practice for me.” The Shadow Clone on the right said. Reji and the two Clones stood side by side with a kunai in their right hands, stand at the ready for another attack.
“And I thought just one of you, was an annoyance.” The Hidden Rain ninja replied. Suddenly the Hidden Rain assassin bolted straight for the trio of red haired ninja’s.
“Are you ready?” One of the Shadow Clones asked in an exuberant tone.
“Because here we come!” The other Shadow Clone yelled. The left shadow clone trotted and slid under the mysterious assassin.
“Take this Leaf Dancing Shadow!” The Clone yelled. Suddenly the clone of kicked the opposing ninja high into the air and still began to kick upwards.
“Now it’s my turn! Sky Drive!”The other Shadow Clone shouted ready to take action. The Shadow Clone beside Reji jolted high in the air, somersaulted and kicked the Hidden Rain ninja in the face sending it towards the ground at a devastating amount of speed..
“Don’t think I’ll let you off that easily Strong Arm!” the original ninja yelled. Reji sprinted towards the crashing ninja from the Hidden Rain village concentrated on putting chakra in his arm and hit the man in the gut, when he hit the man Reji released the chakra that he put in his arm sending the Hidden Rain ninja flying and slamming into a brick wall leaving an imprint.
“If you ever harm someone in the Hidden Leaf you can count on it that I’ll be there to stop you dead in your tracks.” The trio threatened in sync. Reji released all of his chakra making the two Shadow Clones burst into dust.
What the red headed boy didn’t know was that Yagorobi was watching him the whole time. “So, you got the Shadow Clone Jutsu down perfectly now. Now you have to make it on your own. Show everyone your true ninja way Reji.” The hidden teacher thought proudly. About five minutes later the boy tied up the unconscious assassin and left him in front of the Hidden leaf Prison. As the boy began to walk home he looked up at the dark, calming sky.
“I didn’t think I’d spend so much time fighting that Hidden Rain ninja, I wonder what he was doing here." Reji wondered. Ten minutes past and he was finally home, with greate relief the boy let out a loud sigh and climbed up the stairs until he reached his bed at last. Reji plopped down on his warm, cozy mattress and drifted back off into a deep sleep.
“I’m sure whatever the reason was, can wait until tomorrow.” He said swiftly
