《Hatake Pride》Part XXV

~Kashin~
So, after the mess from the failed welcome party, we went into our first period, waiting for Shino-Sensei to come back from the teacher's lounge. I was seated on the grass with the rest of my classmates while we waited before Sumire walked out of the school building and toward us.
"So uh, Abarame-Sensei isn't feeling well, so we're just going to have study hall instead of our first-period class." She stated softly, her brows turned down.
"Ah man,"
"Oh no..."
"I guess calling his bugs disgusting was too harsh," Wasabi lowered her head in shame.
"You think he's ok?"
I looked over at my peers as they spoke amongst themselves, talking about how rude they were to our teacher.
"I'm sure he's going to be a little upset... considering the party that went badly wrong was his idea..." I input, shifting my legs so I was more comfortable.
"You think we should go apologies?" Iwabe asked.
"It'll be a real drag, but yeah, we should." Shikadai nodded.
"Yeah ok," Boruto sighed.
"You want me to tag along?" I asked.
"Sure... What about you Mitsuki, you coming?" Boruto looked to his left but our new classmate wasn't there anymore.
There was then a loud crash from the main stairs of the Academy building, followed by another and then someone yelling.
"Come on let's check it out!" Boruto called, getting up and running toward the staircase.
"Ah, Boruto!" I shift myself to stand as quickly as I could, running after him.
"Well, better go help him," I heard Iwabe comment as he followed after us.
As we closed in on the main academy building, I lifted my head to watch as wooden beams were being thrown through the windows and down the steps. Inside you could hear a man yelling at the top of his lungs in frustration throwing beams in every direction, including ours.

"WOAH! That was close..." Boruto muttered as he skidded to hide behind one of the decorative arches adorning the entrance, just barely missing the last beam to crash to the floor.
He, Sarada, Denki, and I were hiding on the left side while Iwabe, Shikadai, and Chocho hid on the right.
"Isn't that one of the workers supposed to be fixing the school? What's wrong with him?" Denki questioned.
"We can't get close enough to find out," I answer, flinching out of the way as another beam was thrown our way.
"AARRGH! You keep getting the way of us fixing things! We'll never finish at this rate!" The worker roared, throwing more beams in our direction and at every piece of glass on the Academy entrance.
"Hey, Boruto! Is this the same thing that happened to Metal the other day? What is it?" Shikadai called too our classmate.
"I don't know, let's just focus on stopping him!" Boruto dismissed, turning in my direction.
"Come on~ HAA!" Boruto jumped when Mitsuki suddenly appeared next to us in between me and him.
"So, you can see it too, huh Boruto?" Mitsuki asked with a smile.
'It? What's it? What are they seeing?' I raise my head slightly over our little wall of protection to look at the man, but I didn't see anything odd about him other than his rage-induced fit.
I looked back down at the blue-haired ninja before down at my shoes.
'Maybe... maybe it can't be seen by normal means... my eye was irritated when we fought Metal, maybe I have to use my other sight,' I thought before looking up at the builder once again, blinking to change my eye and watched as a dark purple flame-like aura surrounded him.

'Dark chakra...' I concluded, ducking when another beam was thrown our way.
"What are we doing? I'm going in!" Iwabe called out, getting up and running in for the fight.
"Wait!" Shikadai ran after him.
"Come on!" Boruto and Mitsuki followed, Sarada and Myself in tow.
"You know what? I'm just going to destroy the whole place, so it doesn't need to be repaired anymore!" The worker declared, spinning a beam in his hand before throwing it toward supporting beams located throughout the Academy entrance.
So we ran toward him, I lifted my eyes to watch him how a beam straight at us. I jumped and kicked it, splitting it while the others all ran in separate directions to begin their assault. Sarada -being the one to get to him first- started the fight, throwing kunai at him. He deflected with impressive ease, using the beam in his hand to hit Sarada to the side once she had jumped to attack him from above.
"Don't get so carried away kid!" He barked, reading for her next attack.
"So annoying..." She muttered, standing straight.
"Was that enough time Shikadai?" She called out.
"Yeah... You did just great, Lady Sarada." Shikadai praised his classmate, leaning back on the steps just behind the worker as he activated his Shadow Paralysis Jutsu.
I watched as Iwabe then jumped forward, knocking the worker to the ground with his staff. That, however, wasn't enough to keep him down, his endurance impressing everyone. He roared back to life, raging at my classmates before Boruto dropped behind him, grabbing him and locking his legs around the worker's neck and his arms around his torso.
"Take him down! Hurry!"
I watched as the worker tried to pry Boruto from his body, mindlessly stepping backward toward the railing. The young Uzumaki was struggling to keep ahold of the worker, his strength far from enough to overpower the older male. The worker stumbled on his heels, Boruto's back hitting the balcony ledge.
"They're gonna go over!" I called out, running forward as my prediction came true, Boruto and the worker falling over the ledge.
They both cried out in panic, twisting in the air so the older male was the one to land head first on the pavement with Boruto holding him in a position similar to that of the Taijutsu falcon drop. I grabbed the wall and watched with the rest of my classmates as the young Uzumaki fell, severe injury imminent. However, before the worker's head and our friend hit the floor, a spiral of wind was formed to break their fall, catching both of them and lightly laying them down. Once the wind had cleared I blinked as I watched Mitsuki pull his hand from under the worker's head and lay it down, standing straight and looking down at Boruto.
"You almost died..." He spoke nonchalantly, almost brushing it off as if it didn't happen.
"You should be more careful in the future..." Mitsuki added, looking Boruto in the eyes.
I lifted my head ever so slightly, looking down at the duo with cautious eyes.

The Blackgloom Bounty
In the dark days before the end of the first millennium, Scotland (or Scotia as some called it) was a leaderless hodgepodge of tribes, clans and warring factions all bent on the same thing--domination of the land.

To the south of Scotia lay the realm of the Saxons ruled by Ethelred the Unready and his ruthless minions. To the west, Ireland had just come of age. Everywhere else the constant threat of a lightning swift Viking incursion loomed over the land.Growing up in this lawless world is a displaced Daynin McKinnon, heir to an ancient familial keep on the island of Rhum. He and his grandfather Ean scratch out a living amongst the Saxons, careful never to divulge their clan heritage. That all changes when Kruzurk Makshare chooses Daynin as the ideal prospect to help him bring down a vile sorcerer named The Seed of Cerberus, ferreted away in his impregnable fortress at Blackgloom. Little does Kruzurk know that in so doing, he will launch young Daynin, himself and others on a vast, dangerous quest that no one could have foreseen. *****One Hollywood producer has dubbed this three book fantasy epic from Jon Baxley as, "BRAVEHEART meets THE LORD OF THE RINGS."

Dragons of Dark Rebellion in A World of Essence
In a world where cultivation is the highest form of virtue, the purity of one’s blood is of absolute value. Saul is neither Arloni, nor Delcairan. He’s both. But when a strange ring suddenly falls into his hands, nineteen year old Saul is more than willing to push the boundary between fantasy and reality. However, things are not as they once were in Falden. At a time where Saul finally confronts lord Albryte’s sons after years of torment and abuse, his father’s health is fading fast. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his actions, Saul is forced to make a difficult decision. And as he fights his own battle, dark forces descend upon Lucidia. Followed by a pair of glowing red eyes, a stranger appears in the night, visiting Falden with unfavorable intentions.

Or will they struggle against fate and seize the future with their own hands? Tomorrow remains uncertain. But the Sun will show them the way.
