Chapter 2 - Who Is This Kid?

"So physical training right?" Arashi said. "Does the scroll list any way to that?" Soseki asked. "Nope it is strictly chakra based." answered Arashi.

"We can start by conditioning our stamina, this place is pretty huge so see if you can use it for our training" Soseki advised, "ALRIGHT LET'S DO THIS" he yelled as an answer. 

'I forgot that he is still a child and how loud children could be, I just have to bear it.' Soseki started running and Arashi followed. They ran for about 40 minutes. Talking and chatting while running.

I barely sighed out "Wow Arashi…your…really...fast." Soseki had his hands on his head extending his throat thus helping him breathe easier. 

Arashi, not even looking winded, says "Oh yeah, I run every day, I guess that just made me faster haha." Soseki looked at him with a deadpan stare. 'Yeah right, your level of speed or stamina can't be normal for your age, you don't even look winded…he might be from a clan, that's not too far-fetched right?'

"Aw don't look at me that way, practice makes perfect you know" Arashi chided with a smirk. "I guess so, or maybe you're taking steroids?" Soseki teased with a grin. "Who me?" he playfully replied.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Let's get back to work, do you know any other ways we can grow physically?" He looked back at Soseki and replied "Not necessarily, but I know something that's fun" Soseki looked at him in bewilderment 'Fun what the hell, I'm not about to play childish games with a kid'

"A game!? I thought we were-" cutting him off Arashi said "Trust me it will be fun! The game is called ninja" 

Soseki's face perked up 'Ninja!? This might actually be interesting.' Soseki, wanting to play ninja said, "Oh I mean if it has a cool name like that, of course I'll play."

 Arashi had a huge smile on his face and started explaining excitedly "Well there are different ways of playing ninja, that's the fun of it!" 

"Well mind explaining it?" Soseki asked?

"Oh alright, there are a lot of different ways to play ninja but there are 3 main categories, Offense, Defense, and Tracking." Arashi explained 'Well this sounds very serious for a kid's game' Soseki thought. 

"Well, what's offense? Soseki asked. "We are ninjas from opposite villages, and we have to fight to get back to our land." He spoke with passion as if he was telling an ancient tale.

"So, we're basically just fighting." Soseki simplified. 

"That's about it." he affirmed. "I like the sound of that, let's start right now" Soseki says as he steps back away from Arashi. Without saying a word Arashi puts his bag down and picks up a rock from the floor.

"When this rock hits the ground we start alright" he shouts as he prepares to throw the rock in the air. 

Soseki nods in affirmation, getting his mind ready for the spar. The rock hits the ground and Arashi sprints at him. In just a few seconds they were looking face to face.

With his momentum he tries to land a punch with his right heading for his chest, Soseki seeing it coming, and goes for a cross-arm block.

The punch hit his left arm, and Soseki instantly regretted his decision. 'Holy hell this kid hits like a truck, or maybe I just have a weak body, but I blocked his punch, that should have mitigated the damage by a decent amount, and my arm hurts' before Soseki could process the situation any further, he saw a roundhouse kick coming straight for his head. 

'CRAP, I CAN'T LET THAT HIT ME' Soseki ducked down as the kick barely missed my head.

Soseki pushed back on his front foot, skipping backwards giving himself space to breathe and allowing him to think.

'A ROUNDHOUSE WHO THE HELL TAUGHT THIS KID A ROUNDHOUSE.' Soseki would have definitely been knocked out by that. This kid is not normal, he doesn't even look like he just pulled an adept level taekwondo technique, think, think, think how can I. Oh wait, yah that will work'

He put his hands up in a high guard and started bouncing on the tip of his feet. 'Street boxing, I obviously can't use crippling moved in a friendly spar, but being annoying will help a little' 

Arashi looks at Soseki puzzled, with his eyebrows raised. He did not look bothered though as he dashes at him to close this distance. 'This time I'm ready' Soseki thinks to himself.

Arashi drops down for a leg sweep kick with his right foot. Soseki quickly stepped over the attack and attempted to land an elbow to his head countering the blunder.

'Hm, he might be good, but he is still a kid, you don't go that low for a leg sweep unless you're countering a punch' 

Soseki's thoughts of victory were short lived as Arashi uses the momentum of the missed sweep, spins around and gets up into a handstand position. He uses the force of his hand and extends his legs to try and hit Soseki in the jaw.

Soseki barely dodged the extraordinary kick though 'Did he just... BREAKDANCE! HOW THE HELL DID HE RECOVER FROM THAT! This kid is a monster; he hits like a train and makes crazy maneuvers like this. He is not only quick on his feet and hits like a semi-truck, he also is very creative' 

Soseki snapped back to reality and tried to land a hook to his exposed liver. But Arashi did not give him a chance to land a hit. 

Using all the power in his fingers and the momentum from his leg, he was able to dodge but not without punishment. Soseki's hook managed to land on his chin, shaking his head a little.

He successfully managed to get back on his feet. If the attack affected Arashi he did not show it, he just thought quietly in his mind. 'HOW THE HELL DID I MANAGE THAT; I could never do that before my brain is functioning on something akin to autopilot.'

 A grin appeared on Arashi's face, and his amber eyes lit up. 'No one I have spared with pushed me to this level, he is still standing, still fighting. I know this is a spar but this feeling, this feeling is exhilarating'

Soseki was not bothered by the grin, he knew Arashi made a mistake allowing him to land that hit on him. 'I still hit him; I need to capitalize on this.'

Without wasting any time, he lunged at Arashi and cocked back his right arm. "Arashi, seeing the assault thought 'His attack is super readable I'll jus-' before he even completed his thought his legs started buckling, he could not move!!

Soseki landed the right and kept on with his assault, while Arashi was falling he grabbed him by the palm, interlocking his fingers with Arashi's. Pulling him in and hitting an open palm on his stomach, he then hit him multiple more times in his stomach and let go of his hand. He hit his face with an open palm, then a left punch, then a right punch.

The damage was slowly accumulating on Arashi's body, but he could not do anything about it, he was locked in the combo and Soseki did not let up. 

After the barrage, Soseki cocked his hand back and punched Arashi with everything he had, making his nose bleed. The punch landed but Soseki did not stop turning; he did a 180 and kicked Arashi in the face, ending his combo!
