Chereads / Kumo kunoichi / Chapter 10 - Triple Lariat

Chapter 10 - Triple Lariat

Yoko, along with the rest of the backup squad, arrived at the Lightning and Fire Country border camp without any further ambushes from Konoha. 

Ay smirked when he saw Bee and Yoko among the backup Shinobis that the Third Raikage had sent.

Ay missed Yoko a lot; she is his first-ever student. The Third Raikage periodically updated him on Yoko's progress, but he planned on testing how far she had improved as a shinobi.

"Yo Yo Yo, brother, the greatest Kumo back up, shonobi is here, oh yeah." Bee raped in front of Ay.

Everybody sweatdrop when they heard Bee rapping, except for Ay and Yoko.

Yoko giggled when she saw Ay's eyebrows twitch in annoyance. 

Suddenly, Ay's arm moved quickly and grabbed Bee's head firmly. Ay then began to squeeze Bee's head while yelling loudly, "IRON CLAW."

"Ow, ow, brother Claws is so destructive; fool, you fool." Bee rapped again.

Ay just kept squeezing Bee's head hard, then turned to Yoko and said, "Yoko, go and heal the injured. Ask one of our shinobi to take you to the main medical tent."

Yoko nodded, and she asked one of the Shinobi where the main medical tent was, and the Shinobi gladly escorted her to the tent.

______

Inside one of the main Medical tent

The main medical tent was guarded by two Shinibis, one with long, silvery hair and the other with short, black hair. They both had fair skin and a lean, muscular physique. Both of the guards had black eyes.

When they saw Yoko approaching the main medical tent, one of the guards yelled at her, "Halt! What business do you have in the main medical tent?"

Yoko gave the guards a polite smile and said to them, "My name is Yoko Ichimaru. Ay sama asked me to come here and help heal the injured."

The guards were surprised, and the silver-haired guard smiled at Yoko and then said to her, "Nice to meet you, Lady Yoko." Please follow me; I will introduce you to the head medical ninja in our camp."

Yoko smiled at the silver-haired guard; she nodded to him, and then she followed the silver-haired guard inside the main medical tent.

_____

Inside the Main Medical tent 

After Yoko was escorted inside the tent, she was brought in front of a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked ordinary; he had black hair, a lean physique, fair skin, and black eyes.

The guard then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Yoshi san, this is Yoko Ichimaro. Ay sama apprentice."

Yoshi smiled when he heard this and looked at Yoko with a smile. He then addressed her, saying, "So you're Yoko." I've heard that you possess a talent for medical jutsu. Thanks for coming. I will be your partner for today. After I analyze your skill, I will assign a suitable partner for you."

Yoko smiled and nodded her head, then she and Yoshi began healing the injured. To Yoshi's surprise, Yoko was able to save the lives of ten Shinobi.

Yoshi felt jealous of Yoko's talent and knowledge in the medical arts; he felt so inferior to her despite him being the head of the medical corps in this camp.

After completing her shift in the main medical tent, she followed Ay's instructions and went to meet him.

______

With Ay

Ay and Bee were having dinner when Yoko entered. their tent. She looked at Ay and Bee, then said to Ay, "Ay sensei, I just finished with my shift in the main medical tent. You asked me to look for you after I finish with the shift."

After swallowing a piece of meat, Ay said, "Come and have dinner with us. I want to share with you what the Cee name means in our village."

Yoko was surprised but nodded her head. She sat down and started eating with Ay and Bee.

When Bee and Ay saw how quickly and how much Yoko was eating, they were both astounded.

Suddenly, Ay faked a cough and said, "You look very hungry, Yoko-chan."

After Ay said. This Bee started rapping, "Fool, ya fool, Yoko, eating so much she will grow big with a big tummy like an elephant, oh yeah."

Yoko's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this, prompting her to swiftly execute a right kick. She kicked Bee in the face hard.

"BAAM."

Yoko's kick sent Bee flying out of the tent, prompting her to yell, "How dare you say that I am going to be fat? Bee, do you want to die?"

Ay burst out in laughter when he heard this; after calming down, he said to Bee, "Bee, stop teasing Yoko and come here. Both of you should take this seriously; we are in the middle of a war."

When Yoko heard this, she sat down and bowed her head. She then said, "Sorry, Ay sama." 

Bee returned to the tent and said,"Yo, bro, I am sorry. I am tearfully apologizing, oh yeah."

"Listen, Yoko, since the establishment of our village, the village has selected the most talented Shinobi and given them a special name; for example, Bee was one of those who received a special name." Ay said to Yoko.

Ay continued, surprising Yoko, "The next Raikage candidate will inherit the name Ay, while his protectors will inherit the names Bee and Cee."

Yoko nodded her head in understanding as Ay continued, "Since the first ninja war and the deaths of the first Raikage, the first Bee, and the first Cee, no Raikage trio team has ever emerged."

Yoko was confused and asked, "Raikage trio team?"

Ay nodded and said, "Yes, it is known by this name because of a collaboration jutsu between the three. The jutsu is called "triple liarat."

Ay took an empty scroll and began drawing a diagram. He then said to Yoko, "This collaboration jutsu is based on two factors: timing and synchronization between the three. Simply put, one team member must be behind or in front of the enemy, and the other two must be on both sides. The three team members will simultaneously target the enemy's neck, using a lariat to sever their head."

Ay continued, "The Third Raikage believed you can become the second Cee in the history of the hidden cloud village, but in order to be named Cee, you will need to pass our trial," leaving Yoko stunned.

After stepping out of the tent, Ay summoned two humanoid dummies from the sealing scroll and told Yoko, "Your trial begins now, Yoko. First, you will perform a double lariat with me. If you succeed, you will be eligible to attempt the other part of the trial."

"The other part of the trial is the three of us will attempt the triple liarat. If you pass the trial, you will be called Cee, and you will be our sibling." Ay spoke with a smile on his face, and Bee reciprocated with a gentle smile.

When Yoko heard this, she smiled softly and thought deeply to herself, "I will have a family again."

Ay then said to Yoko, "When we execute the double liarat, we position ourselves behind and in front of the enemy; we execute the liarat at the same time to chop off the enemy's head just like with the triple liarat."

Yoko nodded to Ay, then positioned herself in front of the dummy, focusing her sensing capabilities and her observational Haki on Ay.

Both Ay and Yoko dashed toward the dummy at the same time.

"BAAM."

"THUD."

They chopped off the dummy's head and let it fall to the ground. Ay grinned, thinking, "She performed the double lariat more skillfully than Bee did when he was her age."

Then Bee started clapping, "Yo, yo, yo, little Yoko, that was epic; you showed big bro that you sting like a bee, oh ya."

Ay got a tic mark when he heard this and yelled at Bee, "Shut up, Bee, get in position; we will now try the triple liarat."

After Ay told Bee this, they all took their positions, with Yoko focusing her sensing capabilities and her observation haki on Bee and Ay.

They then dashed toward the dummy at the same time.

"BAAM."

"THUD."

They chopped off the dummy head, which flew into the air before falling to the ground.

Ay, Bee, and Yoko smirked at their success, then Ay and Bee turned and walked towards Yoko.

They both extended their fists to Yoko, and Ay said to her with a broad smile on his face, "Yoko, your name from now on is Cee. Little sister, bump your fist with ours."

Cee bumped her fist with Ay and Bee, and then Ay said to her, "I am glad that we found you, Cee; from now on we are siblings. Together, let's revitalize the Raikage trio team and remind the Shinobi world of the Raikage trio team's feared status."

This day marked the return of the renowned Raikage trio team, who had been absent since the first ninja war. What kind of chaos will they unleash in this war?
