Sharingan Training{Closed}

Kojiro slowly left his house. His mother lay on the couch, a drink in her hand. Since his father'rs death, Kojiro had to practically take care of himself. His mother had gone into a state of depression, not caring for much things in her life. Including her job as an ANBU. Staying at home and drinking only leaving to buy more drinks was how Kojiro's mother spent her days. Though she did something strange this day. As Kojiro opened the door to leave, he heard his mother say

"Have a nice day my love."

Hwe words swam through Kojiro's head, as he wondered. Through the village, Kojiro's eyes glanced people..the owners of shops and stores or the farmers or even other shinobi, watching him...looking down on him. Some eyes even looked at him with disgust. He wondered, What had he ever done to them? From what he knew, Kojiro was only left quietly at the orphanage. He was picked up and cared for after...... He was distracted by a quiet bark from fox. He looked down, and he was looking up at him, his somber eyes looking directly at him as if trying himself to see what was wrong with him. Kojiro walked around a bit, trying to lose the fox, but it stayed with him. Deciding to keep it, Kojiro named the fox Zeke. He smiled a serene smile as he urged Zeke on. Taking the lead, Kojiro lead Zeke out of the village..the eyes of the villagers ever watching..

Kojiro recognized where he was by the sound of a rushing river. It seems that he had wandered into the forest along the outskirts of the village. He knelt down by the river, dipping he hands into it as he watched Zeke run around. It has been a while since he had been to this part of the forest. He must have been extremely happy, because he ran off into the bushes. Kojiro thought nothing of it, and simple stood looking around waiting for him to come back. It was taking a while now, and Zeke had not returned. Feeling concerned that probably his only and new found friend had ran from him, Kojiro immedately reverted to his old ways turning his back on where the fox had jumped into the bushes mumbling

"Go ahead and abandon me just like everyone else..."

There was a rustling in the bushes, which caught Kojiro's attention. He paused, his hand hovering by his Kusarishi gama. A slight breeze passed throughout the clearing, causing Kojiro to feel tense. A thousand thoughts passed through his head. The thoughts were soft and gentle, almost soothing as if trying to burn away the tense feelings that were surging throughout his body. "It's ok...just breath and wait." He said to himself. Following his own instructions, Kojiro took a long quiet breath, and focused. What was coming out of the bushes was coming closer. Finally it came out.

"Hello, my son."

It was his mother who had appeared. It was strange that all of a sudden that she would have came out to the woods. She was not much of a nature lover, Kojiro remembered. It was her birthday when Kojiro dropped by and gave her a flower for her birthday and she burnt it, right in front of his eyes. Kojiro relaxed a little as he continued to walk towards her.

"You have been my son for a long time.....for a very long time. You have been the reason why my husband...my beloved husband had been killed! Now his death will be repaid in blood!!"

She started to yell running towards him. She ran, a hand removing itself from behind her back and pulled a kunai. She aimed to strike at Kojiro's head while in mid-air. Kojiro panicked and ducked and rolled, dodging the strike. Why was she attacking him? It was his father's choice to attack him. All he did was defend himself. His father was the better ninja yet he died...did that mean kojiro was now a threat? So many questions swarmed Kojiro's head as her father recovered and steadied himself. Alone in the forest, by the river only the tree would witness the murder. She was really here to murder him...her own son.

Kojiro tried to wrap his mind around this. He had to defend himself. Though he can't kill his mother...he just can't. In all the turmoil inside Kojiro's head, a small voice spoke out. It was collective, completely unlike the rest of his thoughts. His mother came again this time with two kunai in her hand. One she threw the other she kept close to her. Kojiro noticed the first one and narrowly dodged it, but did not see the explosive tag wrapped around the handle. It exploded. Kojiro could only cover his face as it blasted him forwards towards her. She jumped again, slightly hovering over the ground in an attempt to kill him by lopping off his head. Kojiro covered his head though a large gash crossed his arm as his mother's kunai weapon passed through his skin.

Kojiro could feel the red liquid oozing from his arm and into his clothes. The blood alerted him back to the current situation. This woman was here, and trying to kill him. He had to defend herself. Kojiro formed handseals, and looked for openings in his mother's stance. She was formerly an ANBU and for her to come and attack him, she must have been doing some practicing...no why someone as smart as her would underestimate him, especially since he had killed her spouse.

Suddenly the leaves off the trees started to flow with an unseen breeze. The leaves soared towards Kojiro's mother attempting to cut and slice her to create an opening in her stance.

Spoiler:

Kojiro watched as his mother charged through the leaves, the leaves cutting her though seeming as she did not care, Kojiro's mother closed their distance as she formed handseals. As she came close, She swung kunai in hand at Kojiro's head. Stepping into the punch, Kojiro unsealed his sword with one hand as he grabbed the inside of her elbow. Spinning, he thrusted up, shoving the blade part of his weapon into the chin of his mother's head. As it disappeared in a poof, Kojiro looked around,

"Where could she have gone?"

Unknown to him, his mother appeared back in her spot. She had not moved but sent a clone towards Kojiro to battle him. As she saw that her clone would not be enough, Kojiro's mother formed another set of handseals, as she put her hand to her mouth.

"Lightning Bolt Technique!"

A sharp jagged lightning bolt would soar towards Kojiro. The flash of lightning, temporarily blinded Kojiro forcing him to cover his eyes as the attack came. Suddenly a bark came from behind him. It sounded like Zeke, and it was. Pouncing through the forest with an injured leg, Zeke landed in front of Kojiro and barked again, a large blast of wind flying out of his maw. Because of elemental advantage, Zeke was able to repel and dissipate said attack rendering it useless. With its hind leg injured, Zeke collapsed panting heavily.

Kojiro tended to Zeke's wounds by bandaging it and cleaning the blood. His mother sighed at her mistake and grinned

"Next time I'll be ready for it. I should of killed it when I had the chance though..."

Kojiro heard what his mother said and something snapped in him. Slowly standing up, Kojiro turned to face his enemy and said

"Your dead."

His eyes turning blood red as 1 black tomoe appeared in each eye, Kojiro formed handseals with one hand as he threw a tagged kunai at his mother. As the kunai hit the floor in-front of her and exploded, Kojiro's jutsu would be finished as a whip of water would appear in his hand. Unsealing his sword from its seal, Kojiro charged in both weapons in hand.

Spoiler:

Kojiro's mother had never seen such a rage in Kojiro before. She was caught off guard as the kunai was tagged and exploded. Through the smoke, she was able to make out the figure of Kojiro and reacted. Pulling out her sword, she channeled raiton chakra into it and timed her slash. It would be a vertical slash upwards attempting to chop him in two.

As the smoke cleared, Kojiro came face to face with a ready and already in stance mother. Her slash came upwards to Kojiro. Lucky he placed the bladed edge of his sword in-front of him causing the slash to go off target though with enough force to send him back. Using his leg power, Kojiro flipped himself backwards, as he flicked his whip to wrap around his mother's leg. As he landed he would attempt to toss her into the air.

Watching her son, flip back skillfully, Kojiro's mother felt the whip wrap a round her leg as soon as it touched her. Charging her body with raiton chakra, she sent the shock along the whip as she was flipped into the air. She recovered without trouble though she assumed the shock would have connected as she had already started a set of handseals. Balls of lightning the size of a basketball would launch itself at Kojiro as he looked up to meet her eyes.

Kojiro watched as his plan worked though something was wrong. He looked at his whip and saw yellow, traveling up it towards his hand. Quickly letting it go, he saw the current passing through it. He shook his head and glared at his mother as he quickly formed some handseals. A clone of him would quickly appear as Kojiro ran towards his mother, dodging the raiton attacks by moving in a zig zag.

Spoiler:

He would appear in-front of her as she landed moving with complicated horizontal and diagonal slashes to her upper body attempting to throw her off a rhythm. She would counter each move expertly until a knee connecting with Kojiro's stomach knocking the wind out of his body. As he doubled over, his mother would hold her hands above her head to go for the final stab. As she would bring the sword, down, a whip would wrap around his mothers arms that were holding the sword.

It was Kojiro's clone! It had use Suiben, and trapped Kojiro's mother's hands around her sword. Startled and confused for a split second, Kojiro noticed the sudden halt in his mother's movements and took advantage. Sidestepping and circling her, Kojiro spun and slashed at her back. The strike connected right before his mother preformed Shunshin to escape.

She reappeared a bit off, by the water, blood dripping from her back. Unsealing two swords from their scrolls, she charged Kojiro again. This time though, it looked as if there were three of her coming at him. Kojiro looked on in awe, as he did not know that his "mother" held such skill when it came to fighting. A strange feeling seemed to crawl up Kojiro's spine. Was this fear? Kojiro did not want to die...not here...Trying with all his might to keep track on his mother's movements...Kojiro suddenly could follow. It took a couple parries and counters and many cuts but he started to catch up.

Not really catch up, but seemed to see where the hits would come from. Countering and parrying the slashes and stabs with better accuracy, Kojiro was getting a hang of his mother's flow and was now looking for openings. But he could not find one. He thought maybe his clone could help, so it charged in when he thought she had slacked of on her defense. Though the sound of a sword entering a body pierced his ears as he watched his mother defend herself form an attack in what he thought was her blindspot. His clone disappeared in a swarm of crows that too, did not distract her from her target...him. A narrowly dodged slash at his mid section was a feint for a slash to his shoulder which connected.

Sending him spinning tot he floor, Kojiro's resolve to survive faltered. How could he win against her? There was no way.....but then the dying body of his father passed through his memory. He remembered when he had fought him how hopeless it seemed, and how Kojiro won.

his mother now closing in on him, using the same technique as before, Kojiro's mother assumed her "son" was no match and would die for his crimes right there. As her sword came down, Kojiro's mother saw something being created...something growing inside Kojiro. A different type of resolve. She bringing her sword down, she hurried to end this battle.

Kojiro remembered the look on his father's face. The anguish and pain and surprise of the strength he held. Kojiro wanted to show this to his mother but she was too strong, her power was ovver shadowing his own. Maybe he should just accept his fate and die here..He could not survive even if he wanted to...And thats when it hit him..He was trying to survive....As the footsteps came towards him, Kojiro timed his movements and channeled his water chakra into his hand. This was to lessen the blow and lethality of his mother's sword just enough for him to get the upperhand. He was no longer going to fight to survive, he was going to fight, to kill this bitch.

As the sword came down, kojiro raised his hand and caught it. The blade still seeped into his hand, his chakra only preventing the blade form cutting bone. A crazed gleam appeared in Kojiro's crimson eyes as a third tomoe was revealed as he stared directly into his mother's eyes. Raising the sword as he stood, Kojiro's sword held erect in his hand went for a horizontal slash at his mother's stomach.

Enraged and a bit scared at his new found power, Kojiro's mother tried to pull the sword from his grasp but was failing. She let it go to narrowly dodge his slash but cursed her luck as she drew a kunai one of the 12 she still held on her person. Quickly drawing and throwing two shuriken, Kojiro's mother ran full speed at her "son."

The new weapon of his mother's in his hand did not interest Kojiro in the slightest. Throwing them to the side, Kojiro mumbled something about his hand and took a stance. His mother had thrown shuriken at him, though with his eyes, it seemed like the weapons were moving in slow motion. Forming handseals with his bad hand, Kojiro felt that he could on do that much with said hand before it would become useless to him.

From his feet, a sticky field of starch would grow. Since his mother was charging at him, she would run into it as he charged her. Chakra placed into his feet so he did not feel the slowing speed of his jutsu, Kojiro ran and slid, dodging the shuriken.

Kojiro's mother knew it was too late as she felt the slowing effect of the suiton jutsu on the floor. She watched as her son dodged the shuriken but his position would make it near impossible to dodge her attack as she went to stab her kunai right through his head.

Kojiro's eyes followed the path of the kunai is his mother's hand as it went towards his head. Slightly tilting his head back, Kojiro felt the sting of the kunai graze his head, from above his nose, up to his head as he felt the resistance of his sword slamming into his "mother's" body.

His mother felt the full blow of the strike, the very most tip of the blade pointing from the other side of her back. Spitting up blood, Kojiro's mother, turned her head slowly and grinned. "He was right when he said you were strong." Dying while still impaled by the weapon, Kojiro's mother's body went limp.

Pulling his weapon out of her, Kojiro put pressure on his wound on his face, as he quickly examined the body. He had won...no he had killed the bitch. Staggering towards Zeke who was limping badly but still barking, Kojiro knelt down and spoke

"Its ok...we killed her...now back to the village..."

And with that, they went.
