Ep. 17 ~ Himiko Vs. Iwabee.
{Akina's P.O.V.}
A chill had suddenly crawled down my spine, which caused me to look out the window of the living room. I was taking care of Himawari at the time. "Is everything okay, mom?" Himawari looks at me with worry.
I smile at her and answer while shaking my head, "It's nothing." I hope Himiko and Boruto are doing alright. I know Boruto will be fine, but it's Himiko I'm worried about. When I told her to look after Boruto, she takes that heart and tends to do things a bit seriously.
A bit too seriously...
{Himiko's P.O.V.}
Iwabee Yuino is the academy's bully. He thinks he can do whatever he wants. But, if he starts talking down on my family, that's when I had to step in to shut his mouth.
As he got back up, he glared at me and made his way over to me. "Do you really want to fight right now? I might break a limb of yours and I don't want to go through the lecture of my Father." I tell him this politely and honestly.
"You threw the first move, squirt. Now it's a fight!" Iwabee shouts in my face.
"Actually, you made the first strike and I retaliated out of defense. So I am nowhere at fault. But, if I must fight you, I will. I will say it again and many times until you get it through your head, Iwaebee. Nobody disrespects my family. Especially in front of me." My voice turned dark a moment.
Iwabee didn't seem to be threatened by it. But his smirk became wider. He was asking for a fight. "Interesting." He chuckled.
"Then let's go somewhere that is suitable for a fight." I lead the way and everyone in the class, including Boruto, Shikadai, and Denki, followed.
"Himiko, you don't have to do this to make a point." Shikadai gently grabs my shoudlder.
"It's no use, Shikadai. Once Himiko starts something, there's no way into talking her out of it. Believe me, I tried you, you know." Boruto sighs while rubbing the back of his head.
"A-Are you sure she's going to be okay?" Denki stutters.
"Only one way to find out."
Everyone stood up in the balcony while Iwabee and I stood in the arena below. I gave Iwabee an emotionless stare as he smirked with his arms folded over his chest. "What's the matter? Not getting scared, are you?" He smirks at me.
"Why should I be afraid? Are you going to do something that will probably send me to a hospital?" I tilt my head with a look of boredom.
"If you keep being a smart-mouth, I will." He growls.
"This exercise hall is almost like a fighting ring. This is a particular spot you chose for us." I look around then look back at Iwabee and give him a light smile. "I can't wait to get started."
"Listen up, guys! This is a Ninjutsu match, and we'll be following the academy rules. So don't worry. I won't be using my weapon. Because if I did use it, you'd be dead." He announces. Now he wants to follow rules? He was acting pretty arrogant in the classroom and didn't look like he gave a crap about anything.
"Not the best threat you came up with." I say out loud and a vein grows on Iawbee's forehead. He makes the first strike by throwing shuriken at me. I step out of the way while closing my eyes, as if it was nothing.
I run at him while taking out a kunai and try to strike him, but he dodges each attack. Iwabee throws a punch at me and I grasp his fist with my free hand. "You're pretty good. I suspect as much from the Demon's daughter."
"Demon?" I blink. "Wait a moment, didn't you say we couldn't use weapons? Or did you say that you weren't going to use your weapon?"
"You don't know? Your mother was given a special name because of her power and skill. The Shinobi Killer." Iwabee smirks. "She had the ability to take and store chakra just by fighting with a partner. She's killed thousands of shinobi in the past. She use to have horns on her head!"
"And what was so wrong about that? You have a hat on your head that makes it look like you're hiding a bald spot." I spin around and kick him in the stomach, sending him to a pillar.
He's strong. He has the be the first strong opponent I went up against. "Woah, Himiko!" Boruto shouts down at me and gives me a thumbs up. "Way to go!"
"Thanks!" I grin at him and wave.
"Look out, Himiko!" Sarada shouts and I look ahead of me to see kunai being thrown at me. I jump in the air, while doing a front flip, and land in front of Iwabee.
I take out my kunai again and strike him. He moves out of the way by jumping back, but I grab his shirt and pull him back to me. I hit him twice in the face, almost like swatting him from left to right, and uppercut him.
As he's in the air, I grab his shirt and throw him to the ground. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" I perform a hand sign and two clones of me run at Iwabee as he was backflipping away from me.
My clones run at him and pounce of him, punching him in the face. But, he turned into a log. 'Substitution?' I thought and look around. He's nowhere behind the blocks and pillars.
I close my eyes and try to sense his chakra. He's still here. He hasn't bailed. He's... "There!" One of my clones kick one of the blocks, having it crumble.
Iwabee comes out of hiding with a camouflage sheet. As he came out of hiding, he grabbed my clone and put her in a headlock. She disappeared, so it was me and the other clone left standing.
"That's a hard kick you got there. That's some chakra for you to make clones."
"I learned it from my brother and father." I reply. "I can tell from your fighting style, you're use to close combat." This is going to be a bit difficult.
"Try this!" Iwabee throws a smoke bomb into the ground.
"Stay close." I tell my clone.
"Right." The clone replies with a nod.
"You'll run out of chakra if you keep that clone with you!" Iwabee shouts. He's right. But I have something else up my sleeve.
"I think we should use it now." I turn to my clone.
"Yeah, me too." She nods. We both stand in front of each other and bring our hands out in front of us. With this jutsu, the smoke swirls around us.
"What is she doing?!" I hear Boruto shout.
I was saving for this jutsu for a special occasion, or the first time I get to train with Uncle Ritsu, but this is my best solution. I kind of cheated because I watched Dad do this once, and I watched my mother use this against Uncle Ritsu when they were training together.
"Wind Style..." The smoke clears to reveal my very first powerful jutsu. "Rasengan!"
"Woah!" Shikadai exclaims.
"Here we go!" My clone and I shout in unison and run at Iwabee. "Haaaaahhhhh!!!!!" With our fast sprint, we appeared right in front of Iwabee and thrusted the jutsu into his stomach.
With this jutsu, Iwabee is flown to a block so hard that it crumbles. Once he's down, my clone disappears and everyone cheers. "That was so cool!" Chocho shouts.
"I have to admit, Iwabee, you are very strong, but strength isn't everything baout becoming a ninja. According to Denki, your grades are extremely low, but your strength is amazing. But, if you want to become a ninja, you have to follow all of the procedures and that includes the courses. I'm not sure what you're so mad about my father changing ways of the village. It's not hurting anybody besides you. You're just fed up with how everything is changing and all you care about is strength. But, have you ever at least tried to study?" I sweat drop while asking this.
"Grrr!!!" Iwabee growls.
"Maybe if you studied, you would have actually passed and graduated. You're carrying a burden and that's hard on you. But, as I said, if you want to become a ninja, follow the rules and procedures thoroughly. Don't take it out on everyone who hasn't done a thing to you. You should take this advice from my brother because he told this to me one time." I turn back and smile at Boruto.
Iwabee gets even more angry and shouts, then jumps over me and lands near his weapon. He pulls it out from the ground as he shouts, "Don't mess with me, you pipsqueak!"
The weapon collected up the ground and made the weapon look like a hammer. He smashes it to the ground, which causes one of the pillars to crumble. "Wow." I say in a low tone.
"The only thing I ever wanted was to become like th Hokage. I wanna fight like him! That's the path I've chosen!" He raises his weapon, but a bird grabs it and takes it to where the owner is.
"Inojin?" I blink.
"Hey, what gives!? Stay out of this!" Iwabee shouts at him.
"What's the matter? Didn't you say you weren't going to use your weapon? That would be breaking the rules." Inojin reminds him and Iwabee comes to a realization.
Oh. So he wasn't allowed to use his own weapon.
In the end, Iwabee admits defeat but I feel someone standing behind me. My waist is grabbed and I am held to someone's hip. "What did I say about overdoing it?"
"Oops." I blink and look at Uncle Ritsu. "Sorry, Uncle Ritsu. I guess I forgot." I lightly giggle.
"And you've used up almost all of your chakra, haven't you? You used the same jutsu your mother did when we were training. You were spying on us, weren't you!?" He shouts with a glare.
"Yes, I was. Sorry... I think I'm going to take a nap now. Goodnight... Zzzz...."
"Hey!"
The next day I was so tired that I fell asleep in class. Boruto and I became the center of the attention again. My words weren't mine. They all came from Boruto.
"I can't belive it. How can you be tired?" Shikadai asks me as I'm resting my head on his shoulder.
"She did use up a lot of chakra yesterday, and mom gave her a strong lecture about that jutsu she did. She was up almost all night. I'm surprised you're letting her sleep on your shoulder." Boruto explains, and he's right. Mom was upset with me for fighting with a student and using a jutsu that came from her and dad. I don't remember going to bed.
"I thought she was studying before she decided to lay her head on me. Be quiet!"
"I-Iwabee?" I hear someone call out the bully's name. I open one of my eyes and lift my head up off Shikadai's shoulder.
Iwabee makes his way over to us and sits behind us. "Hey, man." Boruto smirks at him.
"Hey." Iwabee replied back. And just like that, they became buddies and Iwabee is calmer now. Honestly, I didn't want to be his friend, so he went to Boruto. But, as long as Boruto is okay with it, so am I.
But no matter what anybody says about Boruto, I think he's the coolest brother ever. 'My brother is so cool!'
