Chapter Three

High in the mountainous region of Lightning Country, a monastery rested carefully on the rocky peak. Within a garden in that same monastery, two boys faced opposite each other. Both of them stood across from each other in a large dirt circle. Arms forward in a fighting stance, eyes locked, senses alert. Both twelve year old children knew not to underestimate the other, and that a split second of lost concentration could mean losing to the person opposite. Both boys were bare chested, showing off years of rigours training in the form of a muscular upper body. The only article of clothing they had on were baggy woollen pants that allowed for quick movements with minimal resistance. The only think that distinguished them was their eyes and hair, one having short red hair with purple ripple-like eyes, the other having long white hair down to the middle of his back and pure white eyes. Both boys also had two horns that adorned their foreheads, both sets being a few centimetres tall.

The garden they occupied was silent, like the inhabitants were holding their breath, waiting to see how the fight would begin.

It was the one with white hair that started the fight. Rushing forward, he travelled the distance between them in the time it would take for an ordinary person to blink, leaving his opponent no room to move. He appeared in front of his opponent launching a right kick to the red haired boy's side with speed that most would find impossible to keep up with. His opponent though was not most people. Blocking the kick with his left foot, the red haired boy thrust his right arm forward, trying to hit his opponent with a palm thrust to the chest. The keyword being trying. The white haired one seemed to be able to read his opponent's move, already moving his left had to grab the boy's wrist. Succeeding, the white eyed child yanked the other child's arm forward before letting go of his wrist while simultaneously punching the red head in the chest launching him back several meters before he came to a stop.

"It was stupid of you to try and fight me up close, Hagoromo. You know I'm better than you in that regard." The white haired one taunted. The other child, Hagoromo, just rubbed the part of his chest where he'd been punched.

"I know that Naruto, what do you think I was trying to do with that palm thrust." Hagoromo said. Damn he wished his brother didn't punch so hard. 'Although,' He thought. 'It could have been much worse were this not a spar.' His brother had recently found out how to channel chakra into his fist and release it in such a way that when he punched, he could knock down several trees. They had the proof in another part of the large garden that made up part of the monastery. 'Hopefully I won't have to use-'

He was shaken out of his thoughts by his instincts screaming at him to move, deciding to trust them he leaped to the side. It was only his years of training and naturally quick reflexes that helped him narrowly avoid a bolt of lightning that struck the ground, with enough heat and power to scorch the earth and throw up a small amount of dirt.

Turing to his brother, Hagoromo yelled out at him for his stupidity. "What the hell was that you dumbass? You could have killed me! You have to remember that your lightning is far more deadly than mine, and also travels a whole lot faster!" Naruto, from across their make-shift arena, rolled his now yellow eyes that were slowly fading back to white.

"Why thank you for that, Hagoromo, I obviously didn't know that after using lightning for several years." Naruto said sarcastically. "You do know that there wasn't enough chakra put in that attack to kill you right?" Naruto said smiling, his brother still got angry at the smallest of things.

"I scorched the ground!" Hagoromo yelled.

"Yes I can see that." Naruto said smirking. "Still doesn't change the fact that it wouldn't have killed you. Now are you going to continue whining like a baby or are you going to fight." Naruto said, goading his brother while falling back into his original fighting stance. Hagoromo said nothing, simply getting back into his own fighting stance.
