Sensei's defeat

"Come out! We know you are there!"

I, Seiten and Mio were up on a tree as we heard this. I looked down to see who spoke just now and saw that it was the shinobi who faced sensei before in the forest. There were four more shinobies behind this guy and he was standing in front of these four like some kind of leader. If you look behind all of these guys, you will see an abandoned house. This house seems to be there temporary base as they had just came out of this it.

"What now?" Mio asked.

"what else? We fight!" I said like it was the most common thing to do at this time.

"Heh...Now you are being my buddy." seiten said smirkingly.

"Urg...what did I even expect. But if we are fighting, I am taking that guy!" Mio said looking towards a familiar looking individual.

"Well, I would have preferred him but you can have him for now, I guess." I spoke looking at the person who had stabbed me before.

"If we are deciding opponents, I want the three kids. I don't really love killing kids but they were my prey before, so..." Seiten spoke looking at the younger looking ninjas.

From the three ninjas that Seiten was looking at, one was familiar to me as he was the brown haired boy from the trio I fought while the other two were strangers.

"Um...Fin-" I was just about to aggree when suddenly another shout came from below.

"Come down here already! I know you are there!" Hearing this, we all looked at each other and nodded. The next moment, We all jumped down at the same time and landed in front of the ninjas we were going to fight against.

I landes in front of my opponent. He was a middle aged man and was the one who was shouting for us to climb down from the tree. Not only that this ninja is the same ninja that sensei fought before and lost...Thinking that I frowned. If he is somebody who defeated sensei then aren't my chances of winning almost non existent? I tried to clear my line of thinking but that thought had already settled deep into my mind now and I started feeling pressured.

*Gulp*

I gulped feeling pressure from the enemy in front of me and slowly took out my kunai that was attached to the belt on my waist. I readied my stance as I looked at the ninja standing in front of me. No matter what, I have to defeat him or he will be defeating me which is the worse kind of outcome, so I have to fight.

"I just have to remember to dodge the shurikens and kunai. I just have to dodge shurikens and kunai. I just..." I repeated in my head as I looked deeply into my opponent's eyes.

I looked at his every move and tried to think what could be his next move when suddenly,...he moved. His arm that was hanging relaxed to his right slowly started moving towards his waist. There was a pouch on his waist and the hand went inside it and pulled out a kunai from it.

I felt a drop of sweat drop down my chin as I kept looking at that kunai but after the kunai came out of the pouch, it just stopped moving. The hand holding the kunai just stopped after taking the kunai out like he was showing me his kunai.

"Don't be so tense now, kid." A little deeper voice came from the man in front of me as he gave me a smile. His brown hair, green eyes and gentle smile reminded me of my father for a second.

"You are new to this stuff, eh?" He said again as I felt my cheeks burning. For some reason I really felt embarrassed after hearing him say that. But his next words evaporated any embarrassment that I felt.

"It would be over soon then." As he said that, he started rushing towards me. His previous gentle smile long gone as a cold expression replaced it. he threw the kunai that he took out from his pouch, towards me.

I hurriedly dodged the kunai by tilting my head a little and rushed towards him as well. As we moved towards each other he quickly formed some blurry hand signs and the next thing I know, there were two people running towards me.

'A clone jutsu?' Seeing two identical people rushing towards me with kunai in one of there hand, I felt panicked. They were extremely close to me so I myself could not cast a clone jutsu and have to deal with two of them at the same time.

The original came at me with a slash from above his head, in response to which I jumped backward only to be again get attacked by his clone. I blocked the clone's attack that came from my side with my kunai and then jumped backwards again tp dodge another kunai strike from the original from the front. I jumped back, again and again to make some distance between us as I knew that being too close would be extremely dangerous thing for the current me.

While jumping back, my hand were also not resting as they also started forming hand signs. I looked towards the two to find them both also forming hand signs at an alarmingly fast speed. Seeing this, I got an idea and instead of keep on casting the jutsu, I just pretended to cast it by just forming signs without channeling any chakra in them.

I waited for a second and as soon as I saw the two releasing their jutsus at me, I started sprinting towards them. The jutsu that they casted was a water style jutsu which was just perfect as I speeded up even more. The water came towards me with a pressure never before seen as it smashed into me only to slid pass harmlessly without even pushing me back. Hack, instead of being pushed back, I was moving forward in a speed that felt unnatural for a human to have. My goal was on the other side of this jutsu.

As I reached the end of the water stream, I prepared my kunai. The original guy should be on the left side according to my observation so I aimed my kunai as I came out of the water stream. The two guys on the other side had shocked faces when they saw me coming towards them like this but that shock soon turned into terror as my kunai stabbed into the chest of the guy on the left. I avoided stabbing his heart because I didn't want to kill anyone just yet but this should be enough to incapacitate him.

I looked into his eyes as I stabbed deeper into his chest but instead of the terrified expression I thought I will see, I saw a smirking expression. I was confused as I felt that something was wrong and my fear came true when the guy I just stabbed exploded into smoke.

'Sh*t!'

I didn't have time to process the information when suddenly a kunai came from the right and I had to dodge it. I jumped back to make some distance from my attacker as it finally registered in my brain that the guy I stabbed was just a clone. I looked at the original one to see him smirking in my direction. The only thought I had after seeing him smirking was, 'Did he knew about my abilities? If so, how?'

"How? How did you find out." I said with a frown as I looked at him. He didn't replay for a while as he just kept smirking but then he decided to finally open his mouth as he spoke.

"I was skeptical. After all, there was no way I would believe that there is someone out there who doesn't get affected by jutsus but now that I am seeing it in front of me, I guess I have to believe it." he said as he looked at me up and down.

"I asked how did you find it out! " I asked again.

"well, you used it on someone else a few hours ago right?" The three genins I fought before...I get it now.

"I see..."

'Damn it. Now it would be harder to take him out with a surprise attack.' I gritted my teeth as I tried to think of any strategy against him that I can think of with my tiny head.

"Well, I guess I should finish you as fast as possible so we can do research on your body to find out what kind of kekkei genkai you have." He said as he took out a pair of kunaies from his pouch.

'Damn it! I don't have time to strategize!' I shouted in my mind as I took out my own kunai but I realize that just this will not cut it so I instead started forming hand signs.

" Shadow clone jutsu!"

Two shadow clone appeared on my left and right as I said that. They both took out their own kunaies and started sprinting towards the middle aged ninja. I, on the other hand, started preparing lightning spear jutsu as I moved in a circle around the three ninjas fighting.

My shadow clones also had the same advantages as myself. They also have physical and energy resistance which means that unlike normal shadow clones, my clones are extremely durable since they are not going to get hurt by many things other then piercing attacks. So the shadow clones fighting the middle aged guy right now, only had to watch out for the kunai attackes since they can handle anything else. But there is also a problem in all this.

There is a limit to how much powerful attacks I can take on and that depends on Gaya's abilities so for example, Physical attacks have a limit of 10,000 points before they start to affect me but now that there are three of us (one, the original me and two of the shadow clones) this limit for me is 3,333 points as it divides between three of us. Though right now this isn't a problem as my opponents don't have enough attack power but as the powers of my upcoming opponents increases, so will the risk of reaching the limit of my resistance.
