Chapter 023

I took out the book on stitching, it was a relatively small book, should be finished in one night. I reach out of my window grill and plucked a single leaf, placing it on my forehead, holding it up for as long as I could before my chakra went away. I then read my book, waiting for my chakra to regenerate.

The morning came quickly, I spent most of last night reading that book. I finished it by the morning. I did my usual morning routine before reaching the academy in the nick of time. I sat in the back with Naruto as began to teach us math, basic stuff, nothing too hard.

During lunch that day I Naruto and I sat down in our usual spot, with Sasuke sitting on the other end of the table spying glances at us.

"Hey Naruto," I told him in a whisper, "after school can you help me out with something? I need a sparring buddy."

"Eh? You want me to beat you up?" Naruto asked.

I sighed, "no, I decided to try and create my own taijutsu style, I need to know how good it is," I gave Naruto a lie, after all how else could I explain my learning of the Disturbance style? If someone does recognize it I can just claim ignorance stating I had no clue what I was doing and just making it up as I went along.

Ping!

Lie successful!

I blinked, that was new. Guess me getting that lying skill changed things up. Naruto nodded, "oh cool! Sure I'll love to help! Same time right?"

I smiled, "thanks Naruto."

"Hey dobe," came Sasuke's sudden call.

Naruto and I turned to him, "what do you want teme?" Naruto asked with narrowed eyes.

"Are you two really going to fight after classes?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto and I looked at each other before I spoke up, "and if we were?"

"Hn," he grunted, "I'm coming. I need to test myself."

I blinked, "what?" He didn't say a thing, he just got up and took his tray and left. I turned to Naruto, "what just happened?"

"I think he wants a fight," Naruto glared daggers at Sasuke's back, "and I'm going to give it to him!"

I rolled my eyes, 'they barely know each other and they are already going to fight? God this shit is destiny.'

We had another class on science, I'm guessing the classes are finally going to become interesting from now on. On a side note, I really need to start learning kanji for that I can begin fuinjutsu, but then again if I can't even perform a fucking henge I doubt such a skill will come so easily to me.

At the end of the day Naruto and I waited for everyone to leave before we came to the training ground. Today a lot more students were using it, mainly the obstacle course and the target practise area. There were a few chunin teachers also present, making sure no one got hurt.

We found Sasuke waiting for us in the taijutsu ring. He looked up and spotted us walking over to him, "about time."

"Shut up teme!" Naruto cried out, "why are you even here anyway?! You barely said a word to us and now you want to play with us?!"

"I'm not here to play, I'm here to test myself," Sasuke said with a grunt. He looked at me, "you said you were developing your own style?"

Ah, seems I'm not the only eavesdropper around. I nodded, "yes, that's true. Trying anyway."

"Hn, let's go then, I'll be your opponent," Sasuke said as he stepped into the ring.

Ping!

I blinked, "well, okay I suppose," I walked into the ring. I held out my hand, two fingers extended upwards.

Sasuke looked at it and raised an eyebrow, "what are you doing?"

"It's called the seal of confrontation," I told you, "you do it when you're sparring against someone from the same village, to show that lethal force isn't needed."

"Oh, you sure know a lot huh Yami," Naruto said impressed, even Sasuke seemed to raise an eyebrow at this information.

"Fine," the Uchiha said as he made the symbol as well before lowering his stance into a form that I'm guessing his style used. If I recall correctly Sasuke uses the Uchiha style, fast strike, but direct, hopefully I can beat that.

"Naruto, be the referee," I told the kid as I made eye contact with Sasuke and held it.

"What? Oh, okay," Naruto walked over and stood out of the ring, "begin!"

I moved quickly like a viper. I leaped into the air sending my right like at Sasuke's head. The boy ducked under the swep, I landed on the ground on one leg before leaping upwards, turning my foot clockwise to spin all the way around again, this time my legs coming in low to sweep Sasuke off his feet.

The continuous motion caught the Uchiha off gaurd causing him to get his feet swept out from under him.

I didn't then leaped upwards, jumping on one leg again, bringing my foot down on his back. Sasuke rolled away in time to escape, he got on his feet and ran at me with a fist drawn back.

The Disturbance style did just that, disturbed the opponent, so when Sasuke's punch came I raise my left hand to block it, but this allowed me to raise my right leg up as well. I caught Sasuke's punch in my forearm, but my kick hit him in the shin, knocking him down again.

This time I didn't let him rest as I brought a fist down on his back stroking his right shoulder blade hard.

"Gaw!" he grunted in pain, but immediately he rolled away, sending a kick at my face. I skipped backwards to avoid it. Sasuke got on his feet and immediately I charged at him.

He leapt forward sending a kick at my head. I moved like a boxer, hopping in place to dodge his every kick. I was waiting for my chance. Just then he sent a punch at my shoulder, I dodged, Sasuke had over reached, now was my chance.

I brought my knee up to hit him in the gut, but the moment I did that Sasuke's hand came up and blocked my strike. He then used my knee as leverage to leap up and bring a kick down at my face.

BAM!

-5 HP!

I was seeing stars, but I didn't care. The fucking brat hit me! He was dead!

He back flipped and landed away from me but I was on him. Sasuke's eyes went wide as I sent kick after kick at him, some times aiming for his face, sometimes his gut. He was forced to block, but immediately I got my chance, he left his lower half without protection.

I sent a punch at his head, acting on instinct he blocked it, but he didn't notice my second fist coming for his gut. It connected with a thump of flesh ringing out loudly, I smiled, 'got you now you son of a bitch!'

I brought my knee up and hit him in the jaw. I pushed him back gaining distance on him punching his chest and gut, throwing him outside the ring.

Sasuke growled as he immediately got back on his feet and charged at me when Naruto called out, "stop! Yami wins!"

"What?!" Sasuke asked glaring at the blonde.
