LOCATION: HOKAGE OFFICE
TIME: NEXT DAY
Benimaru had woken up, unsettled after the weird dream he had last night. Dismissing it as just a dream he put it aside and without missing a beat, he made his way to the Hokage office, blitzing past the secretary and entering the room
When Benimaru entered he saw two figures. One was most obviously the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi
The other however was unrecognizable for Benimaru. The man looked rather old, much older than most other high ranking ninja's which were either in their 20's or 30's
He had green hair and wore a grey coat and held what looked to be a walking stick in his left hand
When Benimaru looked at him, he simply smiled. A weird type of smile that sent shivers down his spine
Regaining his bearings he spoke up
"So is this the old man I get it beat up" Benimaru asked, arrogantly
"He looks weak" Benimaru said trying to get a reaction out of the man
But to his disappointment, the old man simply kept looking at him and smiling which unsettled Benimaru until Hiruzen coughed a little, gaining their attention
"Yes this is the, as you so put not nicely put it, the old man you get to beat up" Hiruzen clarified, staring at Benimaru with a strange calculating type of look
'That dark chakra, it's grown so much just overnight' He thought in panic
'What happened to the boy last night to do this' He pondered silently
The old man must have sensed it too
"Hello, my name is Chandler" He introduced himself
"And I will be your opponent today" He said while giving that same unsettling smile
Hiruzen, breaking away from his thoughts spoke up again
"Since you both seem to have gotten acquainted with each other, we can begin the match without delay" Hiruzen clasped his hands and stood up
"Obviously we can't just walk to the training ground normally, it would create too much attention" Hiruzen took a whiff of his pipe
"So we will simply Shunshin"
Just like that both Hiruzen and Chandler disappeared from Benimaru's sight in a puff of smoke. Benimaru did the same and appeared at training ground 23
Hiruzen was the Procter for the match and would decide when it would end
"Benimaru for you to win, you simply need to land one strike. Remember that" Hiruzen warned him "Your opponent is not weak and is not to be underestimated" Benimaru heeded his warning but said nothing
"Are both fighters ready" Hiruzen asked to which they both nodded "You may now.....BEGIN"
Benimaru jumped back, then surged forward. He aimed a barrage of punches and kicks to the old man. But to his surprise, they were all blocked with a single finger
Benimaru made some distance in order to catch his breathe
'He's mocking me, this bastard' He thought irritated
Benimaru turned to Chandler but he still had the same unnerving smile as always
"Guess I'll have to turn up the heat" He rushes at Chandler once more, this time infusing Chakra into his legs for a speed boost
His now increased speed caught Chandler off guard for a second which led to him almost getting hit, thereby ending the match early
"You're pretty strong for a young-in" Chandler spoke for the first time since he arrived as he smirked "But unfortunately, still far too weak to contend with the likes of me"
In a flash Chandler vanished and reappeared in front of Benimaru faster than he eyes could process, sending a light tap into Benimaru's abdomen which sent him flying
Crashing into a tree, Benimaru coughed up blood but didn't waver. He got up, wiped the blood off his face and tried again and again and again but every time he failed
His punches were countered, his kicks were blocked and every dirty move he tried to pull was instantly seen through an avoided
His perfect copy was unfortunately rendered useless as the complexity and gracefulness of Chandler's movements were so amazing that, at his current level Benimaru could not copy
He had unfortunately learnt this the hard way when he tried to copy Chandler's inverted heel kick but had unfortunately been unsuccessful and had gone above his body's limit which almost made him collapse, right then and there
Luckily he didn't but he left himself wide, which unfortunately his opponent did not let slip by him
"You're getting sloppy kid!" Chandler shouted at him while kicking Benimaru into another tree
Benimaru tried to get up but couldn't which displeased Chandler
"Is that all you got" Chandler asked bored "Your file said that you love battle but now you are on the floor getting your ass beat. Honestly if I didn't know any better I'd think you were just another random bitch" He said mercilessly, taunting him
But Benimaru got up, he clenched his fist hard enough that trickles of blood bgan erupting from then
"Am I done" He asked himself rhetorically but then smirked "No, far from it"
'Even if I can't completely copy his moves, there is more than one way to use the perfect copy'
'The perfect copy....can also be used...…..AS A TRANSFORMATION'
Benimaru's chakra surges, the sheer pressure alone could be felt even among the two highly seasoned Shinobi
'His chakra, it feels so dense and powerful. Its approaching Jonin levels of reserves and its still rising' Both Hiruzen and Chandler thought in horror
Benimaru's hair flickers, it shines bright yellow. Brighter than ever before. His eyes change color, from their normal back to a brilliant shade of yellow, almost blinding
With one last scream, he completes his transformation. He turns toward Chandler and smirks
"Let me show you the might of a Ryota"
'The boy, he knows of his heritage?' Hiruzen thought frantically
"
