iruka started laughing causing kakashi to raise a brow at the teacher.
"and what pray tell is so funny?"
"you want me to try and train with you, are you nuts you'll eat me alive"
"mah, dont worry i wont cheat or anything"
iruka just continued to laugh as they walked down the street. finally kakashi spoke up again.
"i've never gotten a chance to see you fight"
iruka looked back at him and shrugged.
"its been a while since i faced off against someone one on one. normally its twenty five to one and im not allowed to use weapons."
smirking at the chunin's apparent humour he continued.
"still, it'd be fun and you can show me what your capable of"
iruka finally gave in and nodded much to kakashi's pleasure. they quickly changed directions and started for one of the training grounds. coming through a partition of tree's iruka turned to face him.
"alright any rules?"
kakashi thought about it a moment, he seriously doubted that the chunin could hurt him, but he wasnt about to go easy on the man just because of that.
"not that i can think of"
"do i get any weapons?"
oh right, iruka wasnt armed. laughing a little he scratched the back of his head.
"heheh oops. yeah."
pulling out some kunai he handed them to the teacher. he made sure that he counted how many he gave him, he'd count again when they were done. iruka tucked the kunai into his vest and nodded.
"alright, im ready whenever you are"
smiling kakashi reached up to uncover his left eye when iruka shouted.
"hey no fair"
smiling at the argumentitve chunin he responded.
"i'd be at a distinct disadvantage if i only used one eye"
the frown from the chunin proved that iruka wasnt buying it.
"besides were just training, i promise not to genjitsu you alright?"
iruka nodded, that seemed fair enough. nodding his head, he pulled his hitae up unveiling the sharingan eye. blinking a couple times he nodded when he was ready. they both took defensive stances, ready for the other to launch themselves at each other. when no one moved iruka decided to take his chance and quickly did an earth jutsu to strike up a cloud of dust to make it hard for them to see one another. kakashi was impressed, the teacher knew to reduce visibility to avoid detection from the sharingan. it wouldnt work nessasarily, but it was smart. when the cloud of dust settled, the teacher was no where to be seen. so it seemed the man wanted a chase. launching himself into the nearest tree he searched for any movement, or chakra signature. all was quiet. turning around on the branch he was balancing on, he had to duck as a kunai lodged itself in the tree where his head had been.
the teacher could aim, but he should have known better than to give away his position like that. smiling he ran towards the direction the kunai had come from. coming around a tree he avoided a punch and kicked the chunin's feet out from under him in a sweeping motion. iruka quickly did a handstand to stabalize himself and landed a few branches below him. launching himself at the chunin he wasnt about to let the man have time to plan anything. iruka dodged his punch and darted into the underbrush trying to hide himself again,but kakashi was right on his tail. iruka turned around and threw another kunai at the fastly approaching ninja, kakashi deflected it with ease, but had to jump out of the way as another came right after it. the teacher was using all the skills he normally taught his children and nothing more. he refused to use some of his more darker talents. he would either hold off the man or get pounded into the ground trying. hiding behind a tree, he waited.
"come on iruka you can do better than that"
the jounin taunted from his perch in a tree. iruka ground his teeth together, of course he could do better, but that didnt mean he wanted too. reaching into his vest he pulled out another kunai, looking down at the shiny metal object he thought about what he could possibly do with it.
kakashi had lost iruka in the tree's and was waiting for any sign of movement. finally he saw some out of the corner of his eye. smiling he took off after the blur. only to freeze when he felt a wire snap around his leg, looking down he realized his error a little too late. he was instantly hoisted by the wire lead upwards to smack into the wide trunk of a tree before an exploding tag came to rest right infront of his face. eyes widening he quickly performed the replacement jutsu and got away from the explosion. he had to give iruka credit that was not something he had been expecting from the chunin. landing on a tree branch he took in the now half exploded tree. the embers floating through the air. taking a moment to collect himself he only had a moment to avoid the kick to his head, twisting around he was able to land a punch to the chunin's side before the man distanced himself again from him. standing a few yards away from one another they analyzed each other. iruka was rubbing where he had just been punched but overall didnt seem to be tiring.
"ready to surrender?"
iruka snorted at him before jumping up into the tree and dissapearing. smiling he raced after the man. he had to jump to avoid another trip wire, bolting to the right instead of triggering what he saw to be a large log that would have come crashing down from the tree tops to hit him. whistling a little he was glad he hadnt tripped that one. iruka seemed to be a fast on his feet thinker and even faster when setting traps. as he searched for the chunin he had to avoid three more various traps before finally seeing movement. throwing a kunai he wasnt surprised when he heard it deflected. dissapearing in a puff of smoke he decided to surprise the chunin since he now knew where he was hiding.
catching his breath he could hear the various traps going off. he smiled, he knew that kakashi would most likely avoid a lot of them, but if even one of them caught the man it woud delay him long enough for iruka to set more. he was about to jump down from the tree when suddenly kakashi was right in front of him about to stab him with a very sharp kunai. bringing his own up to defend they pushed against one another, neither willing to back down.
"how'd you like my obsticale course"
"very educational"
iruka laughed before jumping away. smiling at the jounin he couldnt help but give the man a heads up. pointing upwards, he watched in amusement as kakashi tilted his head back only to let out a startled yelp when a rather large log came crashing down on him. iruka was about to dissapear into the forest again, when he suddenly found himself tied to the tree he'd been standing on, wire holding him in place. cursing he tried to cut the wire with his kunai but it wouldnt work. this was anbu grade wire. looking around at what he could use to get out of this mess he could hear kakashi moving below him. sighing he made the hand seal and dissapeared before kakashi could claim the victory. jumping up to where he had placed his own trap for the chunin he was surprised to find it had gone off, but that there was no caught chunin. frowning he looked around.
"dont know how you got out of that, but good job"
iruka smiled from behind the tree. he wasnt about to tell kakashi how he had managed to get away. instead he kneeled down and prepared to cast another earth jutsu. making the hand signs he smiled when the earth rumbled beneath them causing the tree's to sway back and forth before beginning to fall into the crumbling earth. iruka quickly moved to safer ground and heard kakashi curse before doing the same. now on opposite sides of the crater kakashi was looking at the man in a new light.
"that was impressive, lets see how you like mine?"
kakashi quickly cast a fire jutsu and launched it at the chunin who with wide eyes avoided the explosion and frowned back at kakashi. laughing at the chunin's expense he wasnt surprised when a kunai was aimed at his head. he was however surprised when he found himself suddenly falling to the ground. twisting around he was able to land on his feet. looking up saw that the kunai that he had avoided and let hit the tree had literally melted the tree. eyes widening he turned to see what iruka was now doing only to find that the chunin was gone. cursing under his breath he raced through the forest in search of the stealthy man. he was tempted to call his ninken, but figured that would be cheating a little.
instead he took off after where he had last seen the chunin. it didnt take him long to track the man down. he got to avoid another tree trunk for his troubles, but managed to catch up to the man.
"what is with you and tree's?"
iruka just laughed at him before beginning to do the signs for a water jutsu, kakshi's sharingan caught the movements and he quickly started doing his own technique to fight back. the wave of water that iruka had pulled from the river below them crashed into the tree kakashi had been standing on, but it was the sudden lightning strike the caused iruka the most trouble. he had to avoid not only the water but the electricity that seemed to have a mind of its own and was following him. dashing around a tree he heard the crash as the lightning ran into the tree trunk instead of hitting him. letting out a sigh he quickly formed a new set of seals and smiled, he was going to give kakashi a taste of his own medicine.
watching the chunin flee from his lightning kakashi smiled. he had no doubt that the chunin could find a way to get away from it, especially after what he had witnessed of the chunin so far. he would have to let the hokage know that iruka was above the level of a chunin and had chosen to play it safe in the lower rank instead of reveal what he could do.hearing the lightning connect with something he raced after it to find a seared tree. figures the man would use a tree, for one reason or another iruka seemed to be quite good at using his surroundings to his advantage. with a sudden oomph he was knocked from his position in a neighboring tree only to summersault and land on a lower branch on the opposing tree. looking around he couldnt figure out what had hit his back. letting the sharingan do its job he searched for anything that could have been the culprite, but nothing stuck out. he was suddenly hit again from behind and crashed into an opposing tree limb before righting himself. frowning he glanced around, just what was the chunin up too now? twisting around he couldnt find anything or any reason for the attack.
iruka smiled from his hiding place, he knew that this would work against the jounin. waiting for the jounin to turn his back again, he allowed himself to dissapear into the tree and reappear right behind kakashi only to punch the man and unbalance the man into falling. he quickly dissapeared back into the tree so that he wouldnt be seen.
kakashi was thouroughly confused and getting a little peeved. his sharingan wasnt picking up on anything around him, yet he kept getting hit. he was about to call out to he chunin when he was shoved once more from his balancing point and forced to re right himself on another tree branch.
"ok how the hell are you doing that?"
he heard laughter from around the tree's but couldnt find the hiding chunin. placing his hands over his chest he waited. then like some kind of magic trick he watched as the chunin appeared out of the tree acrossed from him. he just walked out of it. eyes widening he gasped a little at the confusing sight until his mind caught up and he stated.
"kekkei genkai"
iruka just chuckled at him before confirming it by nodding.
"how?"
laughing some more the chunin couldnt help but tease the nin.
"well you see when a mommy and daddy shinobi-"
"cute, what i meant was how did you keep it a secret, your parents were never listed as having one"
iruka nodded his head before stating.
"its a closly guarded secret. my parents could do it, but never showed it to anyone except for me. after they died i just kept it to myself and only used it when i really needed too"
kakashi nodded, he hadnt expected this. iruka walked towards him a smiled on his face.
"sorry for tricking you"
kakashi shrugged before saying
"i was using the sharingan, though it didnt do me much good"
iruka nodded, he had known that the sharingan wouldnt be able to pick up his subtle movements so long as he stayed behind kakashi.
"so how'd i do?"
kakashi smiled at the nin, iruka was definatley more than what peole thought of him.
"i'd pass you"
iruka laughed before shaking his head. jumping down from the tree's they rejoined mayonaka who had found a cozy place to nap. seeing her master again she thumped her tail on the ground before running to greet iruka.
"hey girl, did you miss me"
scratching behind an ear he got a couple licks to the hand as he walked by her. kakashi was still thinking about what he'd learned about he shinobi walking infront of him. then he smiled as he thought about how much ibiki wasnt able to get out of him during interrogation, ibiki was always one to stick to the facts and sometimes he just didnt ask the right questions.
"come on i'll treat you to lunch since you were able to confuse the hell out of me"
iruka nodded while chuckling. as they walked kakashi couldnt help but ask.
"whats it like-your kekkai genkai? does it only work on trees?"
"as far as i know yes, i've never tried it on anything else. i only ever saw my parents do it with tree's and i'd rather not get stuck somewhere that i cant get out of"
kakashi conceded to that point. walking to the restraunt he was a little surprised to see how tired the man was. he was about to ask if he was alright when they were bombarded by his team who had just sat down, they quickly joined them. once he was seated iruka seemed to get some of his lost color back,but kakashi wasnt above asking him later.
"so where have you two been"
"we were training"
iruka said as he sipped at some water, he needed to rehydrate after all that exercise. it was raidou who asked.
"you were training with kakashi?"
iruka nodded his head.
"yeah, but he wasnt allowed to use genjitsu"
the others just nodded like that would hold their teammate back from slaughtering the chunin. it was kakashi however who told them.
"he won"
eyes widening they glanced between the two before iruka butted in.
"technically i cheated"
kakashi shook his head, he wasnt going to reveal the mans secret unless iruka spoke about it first, but he was going to make sure the man knew he had bested him.
"you won fair and square, i wasnt expecting that. if you were anyone else you could have killed me"
that really got the other jounin glancing between the two. iruka blushed but muttered a quiet thanks. coughing a little genma asked how iruka had managed to beat kakashi. kakashi shook his head which only annoyed his teammates, they wanted to know how a chunin had bested the copy ninja.
" i used a special technique i learned from my parents, his sharingan couldnt track it so long as i stayed behind him."
"wow, that must be some technique"
iruka shrugged, smiling around his teacup. turning to their teammate it was asuma who asked
"you going soft in your old age?"
the glare he got made them laugh. kakashi ignored them and continued talking with iruka.
"you should consider trying for the jounin rank"
iruka blushed but shook his head back and forth.
"oh no, im fine right where i am"
"why?"
kurenai asked, they were all a little confused as to why the man was so afraid of ranking up. sighing a little iruka said.
"the council doesnt like me much, besides i have no use for ranking up. im doing a desk job now"
the nin nodded their heads. but it was genma who bluntly stated.
"screw the council, all you need is someone's backing to enter the exam and one of us could give you that, besides its ultimatley up to the hokage not the council on who passes"
iruka just opened his mouth, he couldnt believe that genma would speak so forward and negativly towards the council. raidou just shook his head at his lover. leave it to genma to just say whatever was on his mind. luckily iruka was sparred from having to answer because the waitress came to take their orders. once she was gone however it didnt seem like genma was quite ready to let it go.
"besides i'd love to see someone shove it in the new chunins down a peg or two."
iruka smiled at that, it was no secret that genin who had just become chunin were overly cocky and often tried for the jounin exam as soon as it came around. they hardly ever passed though.
"i have more experience than they do, that would hardly be fair"
it was raidou who spoke up beside his lover
"better they learn it now then out in the field. people dont go easy on you just because your a rookie. enemy ninja go for the kill."
iruka nodded, he knew that of course, but he would still feel like he was taking advantage of the younger applicants. kakashi finally spoke back up after watching genma and raidou explain everything to the chunin.
"besides it'd be a waste of your abilities to stay at a desk job, you could even take a genin team if you wanted after a couple years"
iruka smiled at that, he couldnt bring himself to tell them the truth. he'd never be allowed a genin team, he might be allowed to try for jounin but that would be the highest he could ever go and even that was chancing things. when he said the council didnt like him, he meant it. they saw him as orochimarus lackey and didnt trust him, with the third gone there was really no one to tell them how much good he was doing for the village.
"thank you, but really im fine"
they let it drop as the teacher seemed to be tired of talking about it. he was tired in general. using his kekkai genkai that much really took alot out of him. their food arrived and they ate together talking about what was going on around the village and how the work on the walls and buildings were going. genma of course exadurated about how tedious it all was to which raidou rolled his eyes. asuma spoke about how the wall would be fixed soon and then they would be reassigned to do something else. iruka just listened to them talk about their days. he was rather enjoying their company which was strange for the man to admit. he was about to reach for his teacup when he winced, this caught the others attention and kurenai asked what was wrong.
"headache, always happens after i use that technique."
they looked to one another before asking.
"are you sure your doing the technique correctly then, to have side effects thats not normal."
iruka smiled but shook his head.
"nope, its normal. i've spoken to an expert about it, they said if i just practice more it will stop, but i havent had much time to do that with teaching and all."
they let the man drink his tea in peace. though they werent quite sure they believed him. paying their bill they walked with each other down the street, the team commented on mayonaka to which iruka pointed to kakashi and said it was his fault. they had laughed at that. coming to a split in the road the team said goodbye they needed to get back to work. waving them off kakashi and iruka walked leisurly down the street.
"so you always get a headache from that?"
"sometimes worse, it depends on how much i use it. its really no different than any other kekkai genkai, you have to train it to get your body used to the strain of it."
kakashi nodded, he would keep that information for himself. reaching the apartment, he was surprised when iruka took his usual chair and pulled out the scroll ibiki had given him. frowning at the chunin he asked.
"what are you doing?"
looking up to kakashi iruka tilted his head to the side.
"umm working?"
before he could say anything the scroll was yanked out of his hands
"hey"
kakashi re rolled the scroll gently before stuffing it in his vest. to which iruka demanded he give it back.
"nope"
mouth agape iruka was at a loss, he didnt know what the man was up too but he had work to do.
"come on kakashi i need to get that done"
the ninja just shook his head as he pulled out his book and began to read. glaring at the man he asked.
"then what am i supposed to do now?"
"mah take a nap, relax."
scowling iruka commented.
"i am relaxed"
"you have a headache"
"which is getting worse thanks to you"
"you should take something for that, there's asprin in the cupboard"
he couldnt belive this, kakashi refused to let him work. leaning back in his chair he muttered under his breath.
"im telling ibiki"
"go for it"
he continued to pout for a little bit, until the call of sleep lulled him into darkness. kakashi liked argueing with iruka, it was fun. looking over his book he smiled. the man was asleep in his chair. he had no doubts that iruka would tattle to ibiki about him not allowing iruka to finish his work, but he wasnt scared of ibiki so it wouldnt matter. from the looks of things, iruka needed to take it easy. getting up from his chair, he walked down the hallway to the library, there was something nagging at him. he knew he had a book about it somewhere, going through the shelves he finally found the red book. smiling he brought it back into the living room and started going through it, trying to find the informatin he was looking for. it took a little time, what with there being so much information in the book to begin with, but he finally located it.
seishin tsuri- the spirit tree kekkai genkai belongs to a small clan in wave, mostly associated with their use of phasing through tree's. this technique can be applied to almost any object allowing its user to seemingly dissapear through an object and avoid injury. it is a great stealth technique allowing its user to appear right behind its target reguardless of where their target is standing.
with repeated use, the user will gain full control of their ability to phase through objects. in time also being able to take other people with them in their phasing. they are only limited by the amount of chakra they expend doing so. chakra can be used in a variety of ways to support this technique, from a little or a lot depending on what type of object the user is phasing through to how fast they had to cast the technique. chakra exhaustion is a concern for its users.
the only risks to the user is spending too much time in their shifted stage, staying too long inbetween solid states can result in injury or the inability to return to a solid state. with practice this risk can be reduced.
looking up to the chunin he shut the book. it was a powerful technique, but like all kekkai genkai's it had its risks. it gave him alot to think about. iruka could surely make jounin and with a little work might even be able to make anbu with this ability. it could be invauluable to escaping dangerous situations, yet the teacher seemed quite reluctant to advance in the ranks. there had to be a reason for that. letting his mind wander, he made his way into the kitchen and prepared some tea. he would need to speak with the hokage about this, he wondered idly if she knew about iruka's ability. had the third known? had orochimaru known? sighing he drank his tea, leaning against the counter. just when he thought he was starting to understand the chunin something else came up. iruka had alot of secrets and the jounin was determined to figure them all out.
