Kapitel 31: Chapter 29: Corvian Claws
In the training ground 3, you can see two individuals in the open area staring at each other. One was a child with the height of 151 cm, and the other is an adult with a gravity defying white hair.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei, I've been wondering whether you can fair against my shadow clones or not, shall we test it out?" Hikaru said with a smirk.
"Hmm, maybe you should take this bells yourself instead of sending clones, " Kakashi said while pulling out his icha-icha book. He's clearly not taking this seriously.
"Then..." Hikaru slowly said.
Suddenly, Kakashi felt a strong kick behind his back before he puffed into smoke and a log was in his place, broken to pieces by the kick that came from Hikaru's clone.
"...good luck, Kakashi-sensei, " Hikaru finished saying before he disappeared to find his other teammates while Kakashi deals with his clones.
Kakashi used kawarimi to dodge that kick but he didn't think that Hikaru would really use his clones to attack him. He has to say, they were really good at hiding. He couldn't even sense them now as he hid in the shadows of the forest after using kawarimi.
He has to be careful or else, he can really get his ass kick by a genin.
As he waited there, he suddenly heard multiple shouts coming from behind him.
"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"
"Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu!"
"Raiton: Raidan!"
Three jutsus were instantly shot towards him.
This took him by surprise but he still managed to use the kawarimi without any problem. But as soon as he appeared on a location after using kawarimi, he was immediately punch in the face.
"Argh!"
The punch hurt really bad and he knelt down before holding his face, but when he saw the clone of Hikaru ready to kill him with a kunai, he dodged it but barely.
'This kid is really trying to kill me! And how many clones did he make?!' Kakashi thought cautiously as he felt the danger of his situation.
Three more clones came out of the forest, and they were ready to kill him. Their eyes were watching him closely, he felt like if he makes a sudden move, he will die.
'This feeling... is like when I was back in the third ninja war!' He felt ridiculous at thinking this but this was exactly how he felt back then. Enemies closing in on him like predators but that time, he was the predator and they were the prey. But now...
It seems like, he is the prey this time.
Meanwhile with the real Hikaru...
Hikaru used the chakra signature of his teammates to find them, and found them quite easily. Back when he fought those enemies that turned invisible in the Dark Souls System, he had a really hard time with that. Especially when he tried fighting Priscilla. Even though she was weaker than Artorias, nonetheless, he was still a weakling at that time. That was like 1 year ago. Though, her beauty really surpasses every female around the village, she is really suited to be the daughter of a goddess.
As he ran through the forest, he first jumped behind Azumi, scaring her in the process.
"Kyaa! Hikaru-kun no baka!" She pouted cutely.
"Sorry, Azumi, I didn't mean that. I'm just here to tell you my plan on how to pass this test, " Hikaru explained.
So, he told her the plan.
The plan is very simple, just get both Sakura and Sasuke into working together with them and pass the test by working together. Simple, right? Wrong. When they talked to the both of them, all they said was "Get lost!".
Of this, Azumi was furious but Hikaru was calm because he knew that this would heppen. Either way, he is going to pass with Azumi, and in the end, those two are simply worthless. Sure, Sasuke might be Indra's reincarnation, but both of them were assholes in the series. Especially Sasuke, he's worst when he was a teenager. Just because your clan got slaughtered by your older brother in just one night, doesn't mean you can be emo and edgy for the rest of your life. In the series, only because of Naruto that he was able to change, but in this timeline, he will make sure that Azumi will never have any friendly relationship with him. Though, if Azumi really wants to be a friend of him, which is a pretty low chance that that will never happen, then he doesn't have the right to interfere with her.
In the end, I can kill him very easily with my pinky.
He's that weak. And Sakura? She can be quickly forgotten, If not for her relationship with Naruto, Tsunade might've never taken her as her disciple. And she has a pitifully weak chakra signal, it's like she only have a civilian's chakra level. He was barely able to find her.
Since it was no good trying to recruit them, then he and Azumi will have to team up fighting Kakashi. Maybe he'll pass them, who knows?
As both Hikaru and Azumi appeared in the empty spot of the forest, they saw Kakashi covered in cuts all around his body and he seems quite tired.
"Ne, Kakash-sensei, are you okay? You seem to be pretty beat up, so why don't you just hand over the bells to us?" Azumi told to Kakashi.
"As a Jounin, I can't do that. Try and take it, " he tried gasping for breath, "maybe then will you be able to be my cute little students, " Kakashi seems to be a little out of breath and his chakra is quite low.
"Hm, Azumi, go get him. It's your turn, consider this as my survival training, " Hikaru said to Azumi with a strict voice, unfitting his normal brotherly voice.
Azumi knew what she has to do when he has this strict voice, and that is to follow every order he has. Back when she was an academy student, her Hikaru-kun started training her when both of them were ten. He said that he doesn't have any form of fighting skills, but he will teach her the fighting style of the "Corvian Knights". She doesn't know what those were, but when he showed how that fighting style goes, she was baffled. The speed was incredible, every move he did cut something whether they be plants or trees.
He also said that once she finishes his training with that fighting style, he will teach her a new one. Of course she was excited at the prospect of that. She wonders if he knows everything because of all he told her.
For Hikaru, well, at that time, he just finished fighting two Corvian Knights both at the same time and managed to defeat them due to pure sheer luck. When he decided to train Azumi, he decided that fighting style will suit her well. She's a brawler after all. But the only thing she lacks is the weapon of the Corvian Knights because honestly, she has completed every move of the Corvian knights. Some were even improvised and he didn't even show her that style that well when he was training her because he just based it off on his memories of his fight with them.
"I understand, Hikaru-kun, " she said as she walks towards Kakashi with the intent to take the bells.
But as she walked away, Hikaru suddenly said, "Azumi, take these two things first before you fight him." He then gave her two Corvian Claws upgraded to {Sharp+10}. He didn't gave it to her when she was training because she could get hurt, now a real fight with Kakashi should be able to bring her full potential.
"Is this...?"
"Yes, these two are yours now. Don't lose them or I'll be very mad, got it?" Of course he wouldn't get mad at her, it's just a warning because it's such a pain to upgrade equipment.
"Yes!" Azumi couldn't help but be excited. Her Hikaru-kun had finally gave her a weapon! She will treasure this for the rest of her life!
She turned around to face Kakashi as she puts on the two Corvian Claws in each hand.
Azumi might be small compared to Kakashi right now but she is very dangerous when she wields those weapons. As I said before, she has completely mastered the fighting style of the Corvian Knights, at least the one who has two claws not the one who throws sharp feathers everywhere. Her current strength right now could be around the level of a High-Chuunin. That is if she uses the jutsus Hikaru taught her but that would be almost impossible because she cannot form any hand signs right now as the Corvian Claws are blocking her hands.
As she stared at Kakashi with a dangerous intent, she moved. Within a second, she was already in front of her. Kakashi couldn't see her at all!
She throws her back along with her arms to charge up before she shot her claws to dug out Kakashi's stomach. He fortunately dodged her at the last seconds.
But she wasn't finish yet! Rush attacks after rush attacks viciously left him cornered. The fighting style of Corvian Knights may not have grace but its vicious speed attacks and versatile movements makes it up for it.
All of the rush attacks Azumi made left Kakashi in a defensive position. He was already weakened from his fight against Hikaru's clones but this girl is as equally dangerous as those clones, if not, more!
He could literally lose his life in this fight!
But fortunately for him, Azumi doesn't aim for his life, and instead... for the bells.
Kakashi wanted to use his Sharingan already but this girl left him no chance to do that, he cursed himself for being so prideful. he could've used his sharingan from the very beginning if only he wasn't so prideful. Now look at him, getting his ass handed to him by a girl!
As Hikaru observes the fight the more he felt proud about Azumi.
"I've truly trained her well, " he wipes a tear, "She can certainly become a great Hokage with my training! Later, I'm gonna teach her how to fight with a spear!"
Azumi has truly grown in just a blink of an eye.
He decided to stop the battle when he saw Azumi standing on top of Kakashi's shoulders. But the bells were already missing from his waist and it was obvious that she just got too excited for her first real fight.
"Azumi, stop. You're going to kill him at this state, and besides, you already have the bells, don't you?" Hikaru said to Azumi.
"Ehehehe, " she laughed sheepishly before jumping down Kakashi's shoulders.
She landed in front of Hikaru and looks at him cutely before asking, "Did I do good, Hikaru-kun?"
"Of course, of course, you were the best!" Hikaru rubs Azumi's head as she smiled cutely because of the compliment she got from her Hikaru-kun.
As the two ignored the nearly dead Kakashi, Sasuke was gritting his teeth because of his jealousy towards those two's strength.
"How? How!? How!!?? I'm Uchiha Sasuke! A genius among geniuses, but why are those two so powerful?! That power, I want it! My revenge shall be completed if only I have that kind of power!"
Hikaru pokes the nearly dead Kakashi with a stick while saying, "Oi, Sensei, are you awake? Poke poke poke."
Kakashi slowly opened his eye and saw the bright sky and thought, 'Am I dead? Did I die while fighting that little monster?' For the first in his life, he felt bliss. But that was disturbed when he felt someone poking something hard in his face.
"You alive, sensei? Poke poke poke, " Hikaru said lazily.
When he heard that voice, he knew that he was not in heaven, he was in hell.
"I'm alive, godamnit! Stop poking that thing at my handsome face!" Kakashi rose up and took the stick from Hikaru's hand and broke it before throwing it away in the grass.

Miko_Sayaki
Miko_Sayaki Wow, 2000 words guys! Can't believe I did it.
Oh yeah, earlier, I tried writing a chapter for an original novel I was about to make. But I gave up because I still have this fanfic and I can't have it dropped just like that. I'll finish this fanfic, this, I promise.
Do you guys have anything against Azumi making out with Hikaru at this point? Say it in the comments below.
Oh yeah, how about Azumi's new fighting style? Was it good? I thought that she could have the Corvian Knight's fighting style but now the one with the sword, the one just two claws in each limbs. I figured it would be cool.
Anyway, thank you for reading and see you next time!
