"So you are trying to tell me that brother went for a sneak patrol last night?!" A boy about seven years pouted at his dad.
"Yeah, but Kelvin, I still don't get why you are angry" His dad replied.
"He could have told me and we would have went together" Kelvin said stomping his leg causing dust to rise up,
"And you would have been punished together. Moreover you wouldn't just be a burden to him but also endanger your life unnecessarily"
"It doesn't matter" Kelvin replied trying to win the argument.
"Less talking more training"
They were both on a deserted land, facing each other,
"Fine" Kelvin said putting on a determined face
"Come at me, son"
"Rargh!!
Kelvin ran at his dad, and did a feint to the left but his dad didn't take the bait.
'Damn!. I thought he would fall for that' using the momentum of the feint, he smoothly transited into a roundhouse kick aimed at the neck,but it was blocked,
"Your kick is weak, apply more strength to your moves"
Kelvin didn't relent, immediately his figure was touching the ground, he rushed at his dad again, he gave out a neck chop but it met nothing, he stretched his knee, hoping to hit him in the face before he could get up and balling up his palm aimed at both side.
'Yes!. I got him, no matter what he chose to do; I will still get a hit in' Kelvin thought while smirking,
But in the next moment; he was facing no one
"Huh?"
"Surprised?" A voice sounded behind him.
That was the last thing he heard before falling to the ground
****
"Urgh?!. I feel like I was run over by truck" Kelvin said while waking up.
"Dad,what did you do to my body this time?" He asked still shaking his head trying to regain full consciousness.
"That was chop palm, it is a move that target one's nerve that send signal to the brain. Tricking the brain that it is time to sleep and the body will shut down forcefully."
"So basically, You made me sleep when it's still so early in the morning?!!" Kelvin screamed.
"Errgh.it's not morning again" His dad said
"What?! How long was I out?" Kelvin asked
"Two days"
"Two days?!!!, I missed the registration day!!" Kelvin panicked
"Haaaha You have to see your face right now. Just joking, you were out for five hours"
"Five hours! That's still much. Oh man I missed breakfast" Kelvin later calmed down "but I could have been training why did u knock me out?"
"Just feeling like, You know when I was....."My dad was trying to say something.
Like a breeze, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Sir.." but before he could talk he already had a knife placed at his neck.
The holder being Kelvin's dad, who had reacted faster than a eye could blink
'Impressive reflexes, if I had been an assassinator, I would have been killed before I could carry out my assignment!' The figure thought
"…..The hokage summons you!" The figure gave the message and vanished!.
Kelvin was oblivious to what was happening!.
"Dad? You were saying something?" Kelvin asked.
"Kel, I have a very important stuff to do right now, get some rest and prepare for tomorrow; if am not back by tomorrow and I can't see off to school. Just know I believe you can ace the assessment test at ninja academy tomorrow!" Kelvin father told him and vanished.
"Dad, wait where…..and he's gone. Wish I could just do the vanishing trick" he pouted
"So now I just have to go home and rest or..I could just rest here" he asked himself.
'Nah,I think I should just head home'
Kelvin started heading home, as he got to the village, he saw people gathering so he went to see what's going on but because of his short stature he could not see anything.
"Uhm…ma'am, what's going on" Kel asked a woman beside him
"It's a duel between two chunin" the woman replied him with a radiant smile
'Oh, if I remember vividly my dad said chunin is a stage held by promoted genin(genin is like a tag for freshly graduated ninja and the have to work hard for the village before they can be promoted to chunin and chunin is not the peak but the peak being jonin only few chunin can qualify for the post of a jonin) so them having a duel is a spectacle event. No wonder everyone is gathered here'
'But the problem is I still can't see'
"Would you like to watch?" the woman asked him lovingly.
"Yes ma" Kel replied
The woman led him to the front row, giving him a clear unobstructed view of the duel
'The duel has begun!'
"Kid, the duel you are watching is between two chunin friends duking it out to know who is the strongest. You see the one in red uses the fire element while the one in black uses the lightning element" the woman explained giving him a quick summary of what's going on
'Damn! So this is how powerhouse fights? My eyes could barely keep up with their speed'
The black guy was clearly faster, faster than a normal human should be but was still on defense.
The black guy move for a left jab but it was parried by a left palm, the red guy clearly not wanting to be outed by him, used the closeness to attack, aiming for his chest midpoint his hand shot out!
POW!!
A ear deafening sound struck out and also the sound of bones breaking!. The impact of the punch threw the black guy flipped several meters away, trying to bleed out the momentum, he did several backhand spring but he still landed on his butt.
'Woah, this guy clearly pack a punch!' Kel marveled at the red guy strength
The black guy,staggering stood up holding his chest, looking at his face, he had a very pained expression and there were blood running down his nose.... Then he smirked.
He weaved a hand sign
Lightning style: thunder arrow!!
Lightning energy converged under his palm and the lightning looks and feel very dangerous. Everyone backed several feets away because they all felt the dangerous currents in the atmosphere
"Oh! We are doing ninjutsu now. Well let's start the party" The red guy laughed with hunger for battle filling his voice, he also weaved some hand signs
Fire style: Great phoenix flame
The already sharp current in the air heats up several celsius.
Everyone had to back several feets again.
"RARGH!!!"
With a battle cry, they both rushed at each other. In the blink of an eye, the met each other and lightning meet fire. A hot element meet a sharp element, and the world held its breath
