READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 8: Red Yellow Duo
"Ah I really don't want to fight you!" Kira said as the shuriken flew towards him at very high speeds, but just as they were about to hit him, he crouched.
Everyone of them flew above him, but Kakashi was right behind. His foot flew towards Kira's face, but just before it hit him, he rolled backwards before bringing his two hands together.
Tiger. Boar. Ox. Dog.
Poof!
A regular clone emerged right beside Kira.
Kakashi paused for a second before tossing a shuriken at both of them. One of the Kira's dodged as he made some distance while the second shuriken passed through the clone.
It was just that easy to figure out who the real one was. He ran past the clone, but just as he was getting closer to Kira, the guy began to make more hand seals.
Ram - Boar - Ox - Dog - Snake
A puff of smoke appeared, but Kira stood where he was, the panic was expressed clearly on his face as he tried to run. At first Kakashi's instinct was to stop, but when he saw Kira run, he gave chase.
He put his hand in his waist bag and grabbed a few shuriken before throwing them at Kira, but just as the shuriken left his hands, he felt a tug from behind. A fraction of a second later, he felt something hit the back of his knees and they instantly gave in.
He fell down to the ground , his knees touching the ground first before his face made contact thanks to his forward momentum. Before he could roll away or jump, he felt a cold sensation at the back of his neck.
"Kira wins..."
Benji's voice wasn't as loud as before whenever he announced the results, but Kakashi still heard him. The fact that he had lost, hit him like a boulder, but the cold sensation at the back of his neck was no more.
"Hey, you were pretty great! Wanna be my friend?"
Kira's annoying voice entered his ears, but he couldn't help but turn around to see the guy's beaming smile.
Kira offered his hand to Kakashi who hesitated at first, but then grabbed it.
"I'll get stronger and beat you next time." he said. He wasn't as loud as Kira, but everyone heard his words. The girls went crazy again, but Kira shrugged.
"Ehhhh.... I feel pretty bad for fighting you already. If a fight happens next time, I'll give up. No hesitation! The will of fire says that we must not fight, so I won't!" he said, shamelessly using the will of fire for his own convenience.
Benji on the other hand, wanted to smack the kid for spouting nonsense. The will of fire stated that the entire village is like a large family unit and every Konoha shinobi with the Will of Fire loves, believes, cherishes, and fights to protect the village, as previous generations had done before them.
It never stated that they shouldn't fight, and even if it did, Benji still wanted to smack Kira as they were currently training and not "fighting". In the world of ninja, fighting means a fight that might lead to death. The thing they were currently doing was sparring and not fighting.
Exasperated with this one student who was exceptional in class but also said dumb things, he didn't know what to do.
With a sigh, dismissed everyone.
"Everything's done. You can all go home for now. From today's tests, you must have realised the areas where you are lacking in comparison to the others, so work hard and become better."
Kira headed out of the academy and walked around the village with Asuma and Kurenai. While the two of his friends were busy talking about the day's tests, his mind was elsewhere.
He thought about the various ways he could get character points and weighed the pros and cons of graduating early.
'The shadow clone jutsu is a B rank jonin level ninjutsu but the regular clone technique is a mere E rank. But then, there are also the differences between them. The regular clone is partially a genjutsu and has the properties of yin chakra while the shadow clone is a proper ninjutsu and has the properties of yang chakra.
My talent in ninjutsu is C grade and genjutsu is F grade... so technically, it should be easier to create shadow clones compared to regular clones, but I'll also need to consider the fact that shadow clone jutsu is a B rank jonin level jutsu. I'll test it out when I get home but for now...
Graduation huh? If I stay in the academy, I can get 1 character point for each year until I reach third grade, which means 1 point for getting to second grade and 1 point for getting to third grade. A total of 2 points.
Just two points in two years is quite less since the war is looming but if I work on graduating early, that psycho Danzo will start to keep an eye on me. That is the last thing I want right now. Graduating will also give me an extra point, but ugh, so many complicated things to consider.
Are there any loopholes that I can exploit?'
He continued to think about the possibilities when he was jolted back to reality by Asuma.
"Hey, let's go eat some ramen."
"Huh? okay." Kira said as he tagged along, quickly getting back into the character of a loud, bug loving Aburame kid.
Just as he was about to shout about how nice the smell inside the shop was, he was stunned when he saw the familiar pair of yellow and red hair.
Even though he was originally stunned, he got himself back together and pointed at the two of them.
"Wow those two have such nice hair colours! I want hair like that too!" he said and ran towards them.
Asuma and Kurenai tried to stop him, but he was too fast and unpredictable for them. Who would have expected him to directly run and stand on the chair beside the two adults?
