4 Chapter 4 : Friend (2/2)

The class watched with their eyes bulging. They couldn't believe how talented these two were. Yagura and his goons watched the fight intently with no emotion at all. A few kids could clearly see the harsh judging of the brawl in front of them.

At the same time, Kenji and Hansuke broke out into a fist fight. One sock after another. Both were even in terms of taijutsu. Kenji pulled back as well as Hansuke. The boys were thinking. Watching. Hoping to find an opening. This fight wouldn't go anywhere the way it was now.

Yagura was readying to end the fight when the boys collided again.

Kenji and Hansuke banged their forearms against each other, their faces inches away. Both were gritting their teeth in exhaustion while testing each others resolve with a gritty stare down. Almost in sync, they went vertical. Jumping away from each other, both boys pulled their hands together in mid-air.

Upon this advancement, Yagura's interest was peaked. The trio of men widened their eyes. Kenji weaved the signs boar, horse, and tiger.

Hansuke began to weave tiger, ox, tiger, rat.

”Fire style : Great Fireball Jutsu!”

”Water style : Water Bomb Jutsu!”

Both kids were in fight or flight. They used everything they had. A giant fireball collided with a ball of water equal its size.

Boom!

The pressure of the collision knocked a few students on their butts. Some braced themselves while others couldn't take their eyes off this performance. Yagura, Mr. Yuto, and the shark Anbu stood with arms crossed. No doubt thinking how lucky they were to have these two, but the fight was not over.

Heaving with every breath, Hansuke charged towards Kenji with a bare fist. Kenji stood there. He did nothing. Was he crazy?!?!, thought his classmates. Hansuke cocked back with all his strength and let his fist fly. Inches before impact, the audience noticed a glimmer towards the base of the water. Kenji balled his hand into a fist and pulled with all his might. A wet kunai emerged from the depths attached to ninja wire from Kenji's wrist. Kenji caught the knife with ease and proceeded to gut Hansuke. Hansuke couldn't stop his momentum. He was going to die.

Hansuke closed his eyes, hoping it would be quick. He hope Kenji wouldn't forget him. He hoped his defeat wouldn't be for nothing.

On the other hand, Kenji wanted to cry. He was going to kill someone. He was five years old.

”Stop!”

Before the kids could react, Mr. Yuto held Kenji's arm and Hansuke's fist.

Everyone looked at Yagura. He cracked a devilish smile, lowered his eyebrows, and squinted his eyes, ”You two are perfect.”
