Chapter 4: Their Struggles
- The fight had just begun and in less than three seconds, Karin’s intense and tensioned curiosity had morphed into appalled worry as she watched, with brows furrowed, how Sasuke let out a scream out of sheer effort "as I deflected with historical Kurotaro's shuriken kunai only to clumsily fall Into the ground Afterwards, a messy heap of limbs. That clumsiness unlikable
-It Was What He Had Shown to her back in That forest, where, I gracefully and effortlessly Beat That bear with incredible efficiency. Also it unmoved calmness That Went Against Which I Took with the news of the preliminaries, and events with cockiness Against That Which I Had Told Her That Would Have her team to less member. But
, Karin Thinks frantically, Trying to draw the dots together as Kurotaro Towards Sasuke runs at full speed, What She Was watching now -the effort "That made Sasuke Had to Avoid Kurotaro's just to punch and Knocotaro is suddenly capable of effortlessly breaking free of Sasuke’s hold and then proceeds to punch the startled boy, who clutches his chest weakly, probably trying to figure out just why his strength had suddenly left him as Karin
knew
it had.
Horrified, Karin sees the way Kurotaro stands back on his feet and knows at once what he’s about to do, and once again another warning yell bubbles up in her throat but this time it’s quieted down due to Sasuke’s pink-haired teammate voicing out her concerns. “SASUKE-KUN!!”
The girl screams, desperately, and the suddenness of it helps Sasuke react in time to see Kurotaro reaching out to him, but not fast enough to avoid the strong and rough hold that …!” Karin says out loud, her voice hoarse, and it’s then that Sasuke speaks.
“ You … my chakra…” Looming over him, Kurotaro chuckles with unconcealed mirth and malice.
“So you’ve noticed only now, huh? Took you long enough, pretty boy!”
Yes, Sasuke-san! Kurotaro’s special ability is that of absorbing chakra! That’s why you have to break off his hold, Sasuke-san, because otherwise he’ll suck all of your chakra and spiritual energy just by the touch of his palm!
You
have
to break out of it!
Karin yells in her mind, and she’s focused so hard on what was going on below her that she doesn’t even notice the looks that Ryuu was throwing her way.
"Hurry up, Sasuke-san!" She breathes out, not mere Louder Than a whisper, and It's Almost as if I Heard her call, Then just Because Sasuke Springs Into Action.
"Ugh ... damn ...
You!" He yells out and Delivers a kick to Kurotaro's chest hard enough to send the boy reeling workshop back to FEW feet. Struggling, Sasuke manager to prop up on historical Elbows Himself, His brows furrowing as more and more I Looked at Karin's teammate, Whose flesh grin back full force as palm historical Once Again Began to glow with a yellowish hue.
Good one, Sasuke-san! Karin cheers, But The slight smile Begins to ebb away as she Sees how to sprint Towards Kurotaro Began Sasuke, More Than Ready to put palm to historical oread of a 'goodbye
' what greets him is a well Aimed kick to the chin upwards Which sends him reeling, and with a swiftness That historical strains Slightly Weakened-out muscles, Sasuke jumps up and positions Himself below-the boy's body.
"W-what the hell?!" The workshop boy Exclaims, pain in His audible voice. This technique isn't mine's, but ...
"From here I'm going original ..." A smirk Itself draws across Sasuke's face as I raises two fingers and touches His opponent's back with Them. "It's over. Are you ready to
-? " But the ' lose
' I Had Swallowed Intended to say is down by a Surge of Pain That extends from the seal down to his body and causes him to cough out a trail of blood.
Damn it…! It’s reacting again…!
Helplessly he can feel the marks covering up his skin, marring it along with his sanity.
-
From below, Karin’s excitement is yet again overpowered by the sensation that something was
definitely not right. She didn’t know how to explain it, and were she asked to she most probably wouldn’t be able to put it into words, but it’s still there
—present somewhere in her conscious and pulsating like an open wound full of venom. It was a feeling similar to the one she had gotten when she had stared at Yakushi Kabuto’s retreating back, but different all theSame. This One Was
far more intense, for example, But just as unrecognizable. Karin Could Tell All About It Is That it did not mean anything good. At all.
There's Something ... something's wrong in here ... something's wrong with Sasuke-san ... Her eyes narrow and she Reaches Towards her glasses in order to push Them Higher up her nose, to the point Where They Were Almost pressed Against her eyes in an Attempt to Be Able to make out What Was going up there, entre Sasuke and Kurotaro. Attempts Her pay off as Sasuke's profile Clearly Into view eat more, and she's Able to barely discernible in the way Which Had Sasuke's expression contorted Into one of pain and discomfort.
What is going
on?! His shoulder is it again?!
in the world What Happened to it?!
Suddenly, Karin's eyes widen and her fingers let go of her glasses due to sheer surprise. It Had Lasted for less Than the blink of an eye, pero
she could've sworn she could've sworn
... That She Had Seen
-
Black marks going up Sasuke-san's face ...? Karin That It's slowly blinks and lowers "her hand, her fingers lying Once Again Against the cold rail.
No, no way. My bad eyes played tricks on me.
She tells herself as she shakes her head roughly in order to get over her and return her stupor Attention to the fight, and toy, but Sasuke is already twisting his body and moving his leg upwards.
“Are you ready to
lose ?!”
It’s what he finally manages to exclaim, as he hits his adversary with a well aimed kick that the other boy barely manages to block.
“T—That was just
weak
!” The boy taunts, grinning breathlessly, “Just not enough to beat someone like
me
!”
But Sasuke doesn’t bother to reply with words, rather, he replies with actions as he twists and turns and delivers a combo of kicks and punches to the boy, effectively erasing the cocky grin off his face.
“There’s more!” Sasuke yells out at last, as he prepares himself to land the very last kick, andI as it does, the name of the technique Pours His lungs out, loud and clear-a technique That I Had Used only Once Before, to save one person
-a helpless redhead
Who
-

"Karin watched in awe as exhilarated Had the boy who saved her just a day before all of historical landed punches and kicks, crushing Kurotaro Effectively. And as she saw it all, She Could Easily Recognize the family combo, pouring out her name STI lips in an excited and breathless whisper of recognition.
"Shishi Rendan
!" Karin echoes in an excited murmur, and for an instant her mind fuses the image of Kurotaro Being forcefully sprawled Into the floor due to Sasuke's kick with the memory of athe first match, Uchiha Sasuke… has passed the prelims!”
“YES!!” Excitedly yells the loudmouthed blonde, and Karin cannot help but to join him, inwardly.
Resisting the overwhelming urge to jump up and down like a little kid, Karin cheers to herself, her eyes closed and her cheeks slightly flushed out of happiness and pride.
Well done, Sasuke-san! I knew you could do it!
“You’re really excited, aren’t you, Karin? Though that Kurotaro did have it coming to him” Ryuu mutters by her side, and it’s only then that Karin realizes that her team had, indeed, just lost a member.
She blinks once, then once more—and then she simply begins to giggle, turning towarts. And Sasuke cannot really help the way in which the hard edges of the curve of his lips soften slightly as he watches him.
“That damn total moron…” He mutters under his breath, and it’s then that his eyes travel from Naruto to the boy standing by his side, who was also watching him intently, his thick brows furrowed.
Lee… thanks to you I was able to survive. If I hadn’t seen your technique earlier I would have been in trouble
. He admits to himself, as he remembers the beating that Lee himself had given him earlier. But along with that memory comes another completely different one, of a girl putting on a pair of glasses and staring up at him with widened eyes.
And, it was also… thanks to her
. Slowly, Sasuke turns away from Lee in order to face the opposite side of the upper level, where the red head was standing along with—who Sasuke guessed—was her remaining teammate. She was smiling, her eyes closed, her face turned towards her teammate and away from Sasuke himself, and as such, she misses the way his eyes intently observe her as he reflects—
Hadn’t it been for her voice, by the time I remembered the technique due to Lee it might have already been too late.
A sudden rush of pain causes him to look away from the redhead and to clutch his arm instead, his muscles contorting and numbing.
…But it’s not a move that I can count on very much.
“Uchiha Sasuke” Suddenly says a maXC
“No!” The quickness and forcefulness of Kakashi’s reply startles Sasuke more than his sudden presence had, and he turns back towards the gray-haired jounin without bothering to hide that fact.
“Don’t get so mad. If we don’t take care of it now, it will be too late. I won’t listen to your selfishness anymore” It’s thanks to Kakashi’s seriousness that a part of Sasuke began to consider agreeing to his teacher’s request without complaining. And absentmindedly, Sasuke guessed
that
was one of the downsides of having such an easy-going teacher; whenever he took a matter this seriously, it meant that it was truly a severe issue, and it helped to add to the graveness of any situation.
Regardless, there was another part of Sasuke who stubbornly clung to his desire to not waste the chance of watching the rest of the fights, and it was precisely
that
part which overwhelmed the other and made itself be heard before Kakashi could get the chance to forcefully poof away with him.
It was true that he already had an idea of Lee’s fighting style, but Sasuke doubted he had truly seen half of what that weird boy could really do. Whand Makes a pause in order to let His words sink in, But When His teacher's silence prolongs, Sasuke prods forward, His words Being historical Through gritted teeth. "Come on, Kakashi" "Fine ..." Kakashi Agree, and Sasuke breathes a sigh of relief in. His teacher turns him Towards historical eye Exposed Then, the glint shining on it Being More Than enough to let Sasuke Know That His next words Were Meant to Be taken Seriously. "But if I deem it NECESSARY, I'm going to take you to the back, Even if i have to knock you out" The black-haired boy is unfazed by the warning, However, as the thrill of Excitement and satisfaction Remain about Being Able to see What Was There and Began to eat His body to run through again. So I nods, smirking. "Fair enough"
“And,” Kakashi adds, just as Sasuke is beginning to attempt to get on his feet. “I will only let you watch the next four fights, regardless of who’s they are. Not a single one more. Got it?”
“…Alright” He half-heartedly agrees, knowing full well that there was no point in arguing because Kakashi wasn’t about to give in anymore. Still, Kakashi’s words cause him to frown moodily as he stands up only to falter due to his shaking knees. Every muscle in his body seemed to be either numb or aching with soreness, and he has to bite back a growl of pain because of it. “Can you even stand on your own?” Kakashi inquires, curiously looking at him with an arched eyebrow over his open
