Chapter II: Izuna vs. Kamagachi

Izuna walked through the night silently with a soft breeze periodically sifting through his deep black hair. His mind wandered back to the sight of his brother's new power. I can't stand to see him like that. Not in my current state. I need to reach his level, no matter what the cost. . .

Izuna came upon the residence of a fellow Uchiha, Uchiha Kamagachi. He approached the door of his friend and knocked politely. Seconds later Kamagachi opened the door.

Kamagachi: Huh? Oh its you Izuna. Oh my, its 8 o'clock already, isn't it? Well then, lets get going Izuna.

Izuna had scheduled a training session with the person he had considered his best friend since childhood. It was here that Izuna planned to gain the power his brother had achieved. The pair quickly made their way through a thin forest until they came upon a large circular opening. Kamagachi was fairly large, standing a full head above Izuna. Unlike Izuna's spiked hair, his fell limp around his shoulders, but had a matching deep black tint.

Kamagachi: Well, lets get started.

Izuna didn't say a word. Kamagachi turned his back and reached into his bag. As he did this Izuna pulled out 3 shuriken and held them between the fingers of his right hand. In one swift movement Kamagachi twisted and released two kunai in Izuna's direction. Izuna jumped back releasing his 3 shuriken, two of which collided with Kamagachi's, and the third headed straight for Kamagachi's head.

The sun rose over the cliff where the Senju had set up camp. Buzzards filled the sky above the battlefield from the day before as members of both clans retrieved the bodies of their fallen brethren. Smoke slowly floated into the air above where the fire had been the night before.

In the distance a parade of horsemen trotted towards the camp with a royal cart following behind it. It seemed the Fire Daimyo wanted to see the results of his investment.

The cart rolled up in front of Hashirama's tent as steps rolled down from the door. A servant ran around to the other side and opened the door. The man who protruded from the open cart was short, and fat. His hair was long and greasy and a mustache that dropped down the sides of his mouth.

Fire Daimyo: Wonderful! How wonderful. This will teach that bastard of the Water country from trying to steal MY land.

The plump man fiddled with his mustache as he talked. He waddled his way through the tent's entrance, into Hashirama's quarters.

Fire Daimyo: Congratulations Hashirama! Another splendid battle! Here is your payment for the deed.

The Daimyo clapped twice, leading to a pair of servants entering the tent carrying a chest. They dropped it on the ground, causing a clatter of metal, and left the tent promptly after bowing.

Hashirama: Po, Dario, take the money and distribute it evenly amongst the men.

The two assistants immediately took the chest and exited the tent.

Hashirama: Daimyo.....my men are tired. We have lost many. We're leaving this place tomorrow morning and returning home. They deserve to see their families.

Fire Daimyo: Now now now Hashirama! Don't be so hasty. Tis but one battle. I have more enemies, more people are after my land! I received word just yesterday that the Wind Daimyo was seeking a clan to invade from the north. I need you, one more time Hashirama. And of course, I will pay well.

Hashirama really had little choice in the matter. It was the way of the ninja world. How could his men return home, when their home was the battlefield? As long as the world remained how it was they had to fight.

Hashirama: Do you know which clan it is yet?

Fire Daimyo: Heh.....word is they're incredibly strong. Strong enough to challenge the great Senju of the forest. They go by the name Kaguya, they have been taking land for the Wind Country for the past few months. Nobody has lived to talk of their secrets.

Hashirama: We will move out in a couple of days, once the injured have healed.

Kamagachi sumersaulted backwards, letting the third shuriken graze his forehead leaving a trickle of blood behind. Kamagachi looked irritated as he wiped his forehead.

Kamagachi: What the hell was that about Izuna!? You could have killed me!

Izuna just stood silent, with a cold expression on his face.

Kamagachi: Izuna....you're really freaking me out man....whats going on?

Izuna broke his silence.

Izuna: I saw something earlier today Kamagachi...something incredible. My brother had become so high above me that I could barely see him. I need to catch him. Its the purpose of my life Kamagachi, to be his equal.

Izuna closed his eyes for a moment. He quickly reopened them revealing his sharingan, already activated. His eyes met Kamagachi's and his intentions were clear.

Kamagachi: You bastard....have you gone crazy?! You're my best friend! And you're going to kill me?!

Izuna: You wouldn't understand Kamagachi. You haven't seen it, you haven't felt its power. Now die!

Izuna charged at Kamaguchi while quickly preforming a series of hand seals.

Izuna:Fire Style: Blaze Ball!

I fireball erupted from Izuna's mouth and cascaded toward Kamagachi. Kamagachi preformed his own set of hand seals and created a wall of water around his body. The fire crashed against the water and defused into a cloud of smoke. Without wasting any time Izuna burst through the smoke with a kunai in his hand, thrusting it at the throat of Kamagachi.

Kamagachi's hand caught Izuna's and they struggled for a moment, Izuna pushing while Kamagachi resisted. In physical strength Kamagachi had the clear advantage. He pulled Izuna towards him and twisted his hip while pulling Izuna over his shoulder, attempting to throw him to the ground.

Izuna caught himself with his free hand, pivoting on the hand and whipping his right leg towards Kamagachi's left side. The foot connected with Kamagachi's ribs sending him crashing to the ground. Using the momentum of rolling Kamagachi hit the ground and shot himself up in the air, landing on his feet. He and Izuna preformed another quick series of hand signs simultaneously.

Izuna/Kamagachi: Grand Fireball Technique!

It was the signature move of the Uchiha clan. A test to see who was stronger. The fireballs clashed and bended at each other, trying to consumed the other. The difference in their power was large. Izuna's fireball was nearly twice the size of Kamagachi's. In a matter of seconds Kamagachi's fireball was gone, and Izuna's shot towards Kamagachi. Another wall of water tried to shoot up between Kamagachi and the attack, but it was too late. The fireball collided with a partially formed wall, erupting in a blast that sent Kamagachi flying back into a tree. He coughed as he choked on his own blood, a branch had pierced his right side.

Izuna slowly walked towards Kamagachi, his eyes focused on the fallen Uchiha.

Izuna: I'm sorry Kamagachi, but this had to be done. I was given no other option.

Kamagachi smiled slightly. He thought he understood why Izuna was doing this.

Kamagachi: I understand....its for the good of the clan. You always were the strongest between us. Use the power you gain from this to lead the clan, bring it honor Izuna!

Izuna: Don't make me laugh! For the good of the clan? Please Kamagachi.....don't joke. This isn't for the clan. This is for ME. I need this power. I can't bare to look at Madara while he is above me. But thanks to you, I will no longer be below him. Goodbye Kamagachi.

Kamagachi: Izuna you bas-!

Blood dripped down Kamagachi's lifeless face. The kunai had stopped him mid sentence, piercing his skull in the middle of his forehead.
