First Blood

It was a wonderful day outside, the sun shone with unrivalled brilliance and the clouds were scarce, showing the beauty of the azure blue sky. There was something though, that didn't sit right with Sora. It had been quite a while, about 6 months, since he started training, his strength grew quite enormously however he still couldn't see Fugaku's stats. Sasuke was going to be born in 3 months and he and Itachi were about to turn 5 within a month and a half. Back to the point, something really didn't seem right to Sora.

"Sora, Father is calling us.", Itachi called out from behind him. Sora stopped practicing his Renewal Taekwondo stances, which he started learning 2 months after his first training, and nodded to Itachi. Walking back into, the house, Sora started thinking again, this time about a different subject. 'I keep getting stronger, but what for? Of course to survive, but what about after that? Maybe I'll just go on adventures and that's it.'

Aside from his improvement in stats and skills, there was nothing else that was really notable apart from the fact that he had 14,300 Shop Points, from various quests like helping out villagers and stuff. He didn't know what he wanted from the store but it's always a good idea to have some money on you incase you're in a dire situation.

When they reached Fugaku, he was more stern than usual and they could almost feel an eerie sort of aura around him. The bad and ominous feeling Sora had increased as Fugaku spoke, "I've decided, your old enough to see something. Grab on to me". They did as they were told and grabbed on and to a normal person, it would look like Fugaku along with Sora and Itachi suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth.

Sora's eyes widened as the scenery suddenly went from their wonderful garden to a battle ground. The peaceful silence was gone and replaced was battle cries and screams of fear, the sound of metal clashing and Jutsu being released was also occasionally heard. "This is the reality of the world. Things may seem peaceful in Konoha but people are dying every single second. This is also what it means to be a Shinobi, to kill anyone and anything that stands in the way of your village.", Fugaku spoke out before he disappeared once again, this time into the battlefield.

The image and sounds of people screaming for their lives and the blood covered battlefield started invading Sora's mind, his chest started heating up and his throat felt like he just tried to eat lava. He couldn't resist anymore and the bile that was slowly building up in his throat was let out. He looked at Itachi and he seemed to have a look of confusion on his face, 'Guess his childish mind doesn't understand what's going on. If I remember correctly, seeing the war is what made Itachi a pacifist.'

It took a few minutes before Sora managed to calm himself. Seeing limbs being torn off and people being stabbed was a first for him and also what caused his reaction.

"H-Help please", a croaky voice that came from below him sounded out, it was an enemy ninja covered in blood. Sora hesitated for a bit before he kneeled down and got some bandages out of his pouch. One thing he wasn't expecting was for that half dead ninja to suddenly drag him down pull him into a headlock.

'Fuck!'. Acting purely on instinct he called forth a dagger inside his inventory and in one clean motion stabbed the ninja in the stomach. The enemies grip loosened and Sora freed himself. "Holy shit", Sora breathed out heavily. He looked down at the ninja, not wanting to take any risks he stabbed once again, this time in the enemies chest.

Sora looked around him and realised he had split up from Itachi. 'I can't exactly worry about that right now though', he thought grimly, looking ahead at the approaching Shinobi. His chances against a chunin were extremely low, and if that ninja was a jounin, his death was almost certain. The only reason he killed the previous ninja was because he was extremely injured.

Taking the initiative he threw some shuriken at the enemy, which just as he expected were blocked. Not giving the enemy Shinobi any time to spare, he dashed straight at him getting into a low jumping stance. "Re-Taekwondo- Three Kick Hwechook- Improvised!". Being short was truly a disadvantage especially in Sora's current case, he was like three foot something tall and there was simply no way his kicks could reach anywhere above the five foot tall enemies stomach, so he had to jump.

From the enemies point of view, there were somehow three Sora's in front of him and all of a sudden his head was spinning felt like it had just been kicked three times. But he wouldn't really be able to call himself a Chunin if that was all it took to defeat him, recovering from his initial shock he formed a fist and punched out at Sora who was still suspended in midair. Sora flew back a couple of metres from that punch but managed to have a safe landing.

The Iwa Shinobi didn't falter in his attacks, barraging Sora with fists and forcing him to either block or dodge, eventually landing a solid hit to Sora's chest sending him flying once more. 'Fuck he hits hard! Where the fuck is Fugaku though, is he really gonna let me fucking die?' Wai-'. Sora had realised, too late that the enemy was using this time to cast a Jutsu, flinging a massive rock into him. 'Shit I just narrowly blocked that minimising the damage... But my arms hurt like shit!', Sora looked at the Shinobi grimly.

Skimming through handsigns, Sora took as big of a breath as he could, then, he spat out a fairly big amount of water. "Water Release: Water Bullet!". It was clear that it hadn't done much as the enemy just stood there, "What was the point of that? A desperate last attempt?", The Enemy Shinobi taunted him. "The point was your wet now dumbass!", Sora shot back. "Wha-", the Shinobi tried to ask but he was cut off, "Lightning Release: Lightning Shot!". Lightning shot out of his hands and darted straight towards the enemy, not giving him any time to dodge at all, it also wouldn't matter whether he blocked or not, he was wet from water, and if water conducted electricity really well, it would conduct lightning even better. The Shinobi spasmed around as lightning ran through him shocking him constantly and also burning and piercing his skins and organs. Sora watched for what felt like the longest 10 seconds of his life before the enemy Shinobi finally dropped dead. Conveniently, the sun was starting to set and the fighting around him stopped as most people were now dead on the hard, rocky and blood covered ground. Fugaku and Itachi had managed to find him and they went home. The fact that Itachi was basically the same as when he got here except for being way more silent than usual was really remarkable to Sora, he totally bitched out earlier on....
