Nonstop Hateful Life Relations 101

[Nishi]

"Close your eyes, and continue your attack, my boy..." An older man with his eyes covered with a blindfold, smiling slightly at the small boy known as Nishi. Nishi grunted as quietly as he could. "Nishi-chan. Steady your breathing, attack like the rain. Swiftly, quietly, and repetitively." the old, blindfolded man said as Nishi mouthed his words and rolled his eyes. The old man's smile quickly faded.

"I understand that the training is tedious, Nishi-chan. But it is necessary. You're an intelligent man, I know you understand. And I have faith that you can succeed. Please, once more." Nishi's instructor said, once more dropping into a low defensive stance. Nishi took a deep breath before launching himself forward. The old man immediately whipped around, his silver-lined hair swinging around as he twirled. Nishi thought quickly about what his next move should be - dodge his master's counter-attack with a swift kick, or dodge the counter-attack with a weak ninjutsu? His master made the decision for him extremely fast by coming around with a backwards flying roundhouse kick.

This quick, high powered attack threw Nishi off his guard, and his instructor's shoe connected right on Nishi's chest as he jumped to counter his master with a Suiton bullet. Nishi's light body hit the ground with a loud thud, but the boy immediately rolled away from his instructor, who had switched stances and was now advancing on the boy. As Nishi sprang back to his feet, his instructor was already launching a huge uppercut right at him, which connected right on his chin. A loud popping noise echoed throughout the small gym as Nishi's body turned into a large doll that was previously sitting at a desk in the corner of the room. The instructor immediately realized that Nishi's Kawarimi no Jutsu had been successful and turned on the spot to defend himself.

Nishi was flying through the air at his instructor once more, with his two flaming Ninjato swords in his hands, ready to strike down his trainer. Nishi's instructor was old, but he was faster than ever. Before Nishi could even see what happened, two large metallic poles were in his instructor's hands. "You must be quicker! Hit like the rain, m'boy!" his instructor yelled, now pulling the bandana from his eyes.

The two exchanged strikes over and over again, Nishi attempting to slice through the iron defense of his trainer. When the instructor finally saw an opening in the boy's attacks, he launched a spinning kick that knocked the boy flat on his back. Seconds later Nishi's vision came back to him, realizing that his instructor was standing over him with a grin. "Nishi-chan. You are the hardest working student I have had, but please my boy. There is such a thing as over-working yourself. I suggest that you return to your dwelling and take the rest of the day off?" the instructor said, infuriating Nishi.

"But Bosaki-sensei!" Nishi yelled, hiding just how angry he really was. It wasn't too thrilling for him to learn that his training for the day would be cut short.

"Nishi-chan. Go home, you can come back early tomorrow, or if you really need to, late tonight. Just knock on the door. For now though, I am ever so kindly asking you to vacate the premises." the trainer called Bosaki said very smoothly.

Nishi nodded and got up, holding his head in a somewhat shameful way as he walked to the door. "Thank you sensei, for everything." Nishi said, quickly shuffling out the door before he could hear a response from his teacher. "Time to go home and train, then." Nishi said to himself with a sigh, walking through the mist-filled streets of Kirigakure.

Nishi decided to take the long route home, but remained with his head looking directly at his feet for most of the walk home.He had changed from his sensei's training gear back into his usual apparel - a black suit, white dress shirt and a red tie on top of his signature Gantz body suit. The village was extremely foggy, but he could navigate it perfectly. Living in the village since a child always had it's perks. "Ah, looks like it's clearing up..." Nishi said to himself as he came around a shop's corner and noticed the thick mist had opened up.

"HEY, KID, HELP!!" a well-dressed man that looked like a lawyer of some type was screaming at the top of his lungs - but for good reason. There were two older guys in what looked like ninja gear pushing him around, preparing to take the rich man's money. Nishi had been walking in their direction while examining the attacking pair - he couldn't recognize them as a Chuunin or higher ranked... And he definitely wasn't in his Genin class. 'Could these two be from a different village?' he thought to himself, raising an eyebrow at one of them.

The shorter one that Nishi had been looking at looked over at him and swung his whole body around. "Hey! You, kid! Stay back, okay!?" he yelled at Nishi, who held his hands up in the air.

"Hey, I'm just a kid! What could I do? I gotta walk past you guys!" Nishi said with a fake smile, keeping his hands above his head.
"I dunno... Dressed pretty nice for a kid, wouldn't you say doc?" Said the taller of the two, elbowing the victim in the side.
"I'm no doctor, I- I'm a businessman fo-" the man tried to say, but was elbowed even harder in the stomach.

"Shaddup, you two!" yelled the second attacker, still facing Nishi.

"Kid, please help me! Somehow!" said the businessman, followed quickly by a huge knee straight into his unblocked stomach. "It will be worth it, I beg of y-" he tried to quickly blurt out, but received another swift kick to the chest for his troubles.

'Worth it, he says?' Nishi said, his heart beginning to race. "What am I supposed to do anyways, knock these two ninjas out? I count numbers, why else would I be in this suit?" Nishi said, now dropping his hands to his sides.

"Look like you're goin' to some comic-book dress-up show with that suit underneath!" said the taller of the two, still holding the businessman.
"Something like that.... I'm still fairly young, after all. You two are Kirigakure ninja, right? I'm young enough... Maybe you could teach me, and I could try to go through the academy at an old age, most genin are still 13, my age!" Nishi said with a grin.

"N-Ninja? C'mon kid, we ain't really ninja, we just know a few moves..." the taller, obviously rather strong attacker said with a laugh, wrapping his arm around the businessman's neck to prove his obvious dominance.

"You guys know some ninja moves!? Let me see! Come on, please! PLEASE!" Nishi said, clapping a few times. While the two semi-ninjas looked at each other and had a small team meeting, Nishi looked around just to realize that the entire block they were on was abandoned. Even if it weren't, people three blocks and farther away on every side wouldn't even be able to see the group - the mist had only let up in their small diameter.

[Nishi]

"Well, I may appear a tad pudgy to a young fella like you... But I actually know quite a few TAIJUTSU moves!" the shorter semi-ninja said, dropping down into a karate stance and throwing a rather half-assed roundhouse kick before yelling like Bruce Lee. "And my friens Hanzuto here... I MEAN! Hansito, yeah, Hansito..." he continued, hitting himself in the face when he realized he had said his partner's real name.

"YOU IDIOT! Fuck you then, Danante" Hanzuto yelled at his partnet who flinched when his name was also revealed. "Okay okay, I don't care about your names, and I'm sure you're half-giant self will have him strangled at any moment, now..." Nishi said with a laugh, pointing at the man Hanzuto was holding on to - his face was somewhat purple and he had obviously been trying in vain to breathe for more than a few seconds.

Hanzuto looked down and quickly released his ironman squeeze around the businessman's neck. "Anyways, what Mr. Neither Brains Nor Brawn over here was trying to say was, I have a rather powerful Ninjutsu up my sleeve! Some would even call it... The PERFECT jutsu!" Hanzuto yelled, flexing his unoccupied arm which happened to be sticking out of his sleeveless shirt. "Ironic," Nishi laughed to himself, "looks like it's just two morons."

Nishi knew that the businessman would be able to help him at some point in the future, so saving him from what appeared to be two able Ninja... Would surely warrant a good-sized favor of sorts. "My father, before he died... He taught me a single ninjutsu! Will you two ninjas allow me to use it on this man in front of us, so you can tell me if the Ninja Academy exams are right for me?" Nishi called out, now walking straight past Danante to look the larger Hanzuto in the face.

"Yeah, well, sure kid! Just get back there!" Hanzuto pointed, about thirty feet away towards the area he had originally came from. Nishi appeared to be out of his earshot, so Hanzuto called out something that sounded to Nishi like "this way if he hurts or kills him, we can just blame him! Easy!" but Nishi laughed out loud this time.

"How could they be so stupid..." Nishi said, chuckling rather audibly. "I don't need to be this far, even! I actually need to be pretty close for this one, it's been a while so I forgot... Oh and you can hold on to him, this one won't hit you at all so don't worry!" Nishi called back to Danante and Hanzuto as he walked back in their direction. The two semi-ninjas had just moments earlier, kicked and punched the businessman so many times that he wouldn't be able to get up and run away from Nishi's jutsu.

Now, Hanzuto and Danante rushed forward to grab him, each grabbing the end of a limb. "Completely trusting. What idiots. If I could really do any type of jutsu, how could they be so trusting?" he said, grinning to himself. "Err, let's see if I can remember it!" he lied, then began going through the seals for his Fire Release's Demon Lantern Technique much slower than usual, as if he had just learned the seals. "Katon: Onidourou!" Nishi yelled, making the nearly unconscious businessman's knees buckle in fear.

What appeared to be one rather small flame began floating in the air right in front of him for a few seconds, causing the two attackers to burst out in hysterical laughter. "Kid, you gotta be kidding me! One flame!? One flame!? And you think you could make it as a ninja? You'd embarrass yourself at the academy!" Hanzuto yelled, bent over with Danante as tears streamed down both of their eyes, completely taken over by their own hysterical laughter.

What they didn't notice was that the small flame had quickly grown, and then split into five rather large flames. "HEY! Idiots!" Nishi roared, folding his arms across his chest and tapping his foot, waiting for the two to calm down for a second. As soon as Danante glanced up at Nishi, his laughter ceased immediately.

"L-Look, brother." he said, grabbing Hanzuto's arm and pointing at Nishi, who now had five large flames rotating around him.
"SO! I would say it's your turn to show your self-proclaimed perfect jutsu... But let's see the damage mine can do first? Can you both handle a single flame!?" Nishi laughed, using a seal and sending one of the flames flying forward at Hanzuto and Danante.

[Nishi]

The four somewhat-large flames continued revolving around the teenage boy as he took on the two young men, much older than himself. Nishi made sure the first Demon Lantern flame headed slowly towards the two attacking men, zigzagging up and down to confuse them. The so-called Ninjutsu master, Hanzuto, leaped in front of his shorter teammate and began performing hand seals.

As soon as Nishi recognized the first three as 'serpent, ram, monkey' he knew exactly what was coming - and it would be the best idea to get out of the way as soon as possible. Nishi had already started dashing to the side when Hanzuto roared "KATON! Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" at the top of his lungs. Nishi read Hanzuto's hand seals perfectly, and was nearly fifteen feet in front of the huge fireball before it reached him.

Nishi changed angles as soon as the huge ball of fire had gotten past him. "KATON!" Nishi yelled, throwing both hands forward as he formed the final seal for his ongoing Demon Lantern jutsu.. The four revolving Demon Lantern fireballs that remained launched at the two man criminal team.

Hanzuto was breathing fairly hard, but that was expected to Nishi. For how big the flaming ball was, Nishi could tell that Hanzuto definitely had some experience with Ninjutsu. "Breathing as if you had ran a mile in four minutes definitely shows your inexperience, moron!" Nishi said with a laugh as the four flames kept speeding towards the criminal ninja. This time it was the shorter Taijutsu ninja Danante who leaped forward to protect his teammate.

"I'll prove my skills... AND my worth!" Danante yelled rather cheesily, making even Nishi laugh at his stupidity.

"Time to launch another attack I see." Nishi said to himself as he watched Danante prepare to take on the four large embers while Hanzuto still tried to catch his breath.

"Konoha Gouriki Senpuu!" Danante yelled, leaping into the oncoming fires.
"Hey, you're not too slow!" Nishi yelled at him as he kicked and kicked at the fires, trying to blow them out with the wind alone. 'Konohagakure, did I hear?' Nishi thought to himself, quickly looking for a

"Your fires are terrible you little shit!" Danante yelled, rolling out of the way and retreating while the two remaining embers chased after him.
"Your leg!" Hanzuto yelled, now finally revitalized enough to help his teammate; who's pants leg was on fire. Hanzuto leaped forward and pushed his teammate to the ground who began to roll, putting the small fire out within just a few seconds.

"Here! LET ME HELP!" Nishi said as he finished the last seal. Danante leaped to his feet, recovering much quicker than Hanzuto. "Suiton! Teppou-DAMA!!" he yelled, and as the two syllables came out of his mouth, a large tennis ball sized sphere of water launched from his mouth, straight at Hanzuto's chest.

"KONOHA SEN-"
"KATON! GYO-" yelled both of the not-so skilled ninja, but the sphere hit Hanzuto in the lower neck before he could even finish his first seal. He was thrown back nearly fifteen feet, landing with a hard thud on the ground. "No! Hanzuto-kun!" cried Danante, staring at his friend's near-corpse before turning to glare at Nishi. "Alright! Now you've done it!" he yelled angrily, growing red.

"Watch out kid! It looks like he's powering up or something! That's a thing, right!?" yelled the businessman, finally jumping out of his trashcan hiding spot to yell a few encouraging words to Nishi.

"Shut up and get that favor ready old man! Don't die before I cash it in!" Nishi yelled at him, matching Danante's movements by dashing forward at his opponent.

"Taking a Taijutsu type ninja head on is never a good idea, especially when you're a weak brat like you!" Danante yelled, his face now completely red.

'Oh wow, it looks like this guy just may have been the more powerful of the two, he just needed to be in danger for it to work!' Nishi thought to himself, thinking quickly on the most efficient way to dodge the incoming hand-to-hand combat attack. "Of course, the Mizu Bunshin!" Nishi said out loud, immediately performing the three seals with extreme ease - it was one of his go-to jutsus in a pinch and he had always had a great speed with this sequence.

In the blink of an eye another water clone version of Nishi had appeared next to him, throwing off Danante as he couldn't decide which one to attack. "Looks like I'll have to take you both!" he said, biting his thumb in preparation for a summoning jutsu. 'Kuchiyose? What creature has this fool mastered!?' Nishi said, allowing his curiosity to slow him down for a split second.
