Control

Without Warning Part 1

"Sooo what's this new jutsu you were talking about????" You grinned at your uncle. 

The two of you stood across from each other in the third training ground. He wore his usual shinobi attire but this time he had the addition of a rather large scroll on his back. 

"Alright, this new jutsu will be more challenging than you have done in the past but I have faith you'll catch on." He explained as he uncrossed his arms and began stretching.

You nodded eagerly. You were ready for anything, if you weren't, you wouldn't be out training so early. After all, it was 5:30 in the morning and the sun was still reaching its ascent into the sky. You were a morning person so training this early wasn't uncommon for you but due to current circumstances you had no choice but to train this early. After all, you also had to make time to help with repairs around the village on top of training with your squad.

It had been about five days since the attack on Konoha and the death of the Hokage. Since then, everyone has been working hard on repairs around the village. There was a lot to do. This meant you and your uncle went to train in the morning for about three to four hours before you went to help out around the village with your squad. Once you were done with this you would normally train for a few more hours with Sumire-sensei and your teammates. You were determined to get stronger and your uncle and sensei were more than willing to help. Your fight with Saito and Gaara highlighted your deficiencies as a shinobi...You didn't realize you still had so much to work on...everyone else seemed so far ahead of you...you didn't want to be left behind.

With this thought in mind, a determined smile crossed your features as you stared back at your uncle.

"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you. I have to get stronger."

Your uncle smirked at your words as he raised his thumb to his mouth and bit it before performing a series of hand signs. He then quickly slammed his hand onto the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu!" He shouted before a cloud of smoke appeared before him.

As the smoke dissipated, a familiar blue falcon was revealed. It cheekily cawed at you before swooping towards your face. Your eyes widened as you covered your head and dropped to the ground. 

What the hell was that about!? Was it trying to kill you!?

You glanced up from your spot on the ground at your uncle's laughter as he held his arm up for the falcon to land on. The large bird gracefully landed on the leather gauntlets around his forearms and tilted its head down to look at you. You stared in utter bewilderment at the bird as the gears started turning in your head...that was the same bird you saw at your window when you were a kid...it led you to Kiba and Akamaru. 

"Sorry about that, this is Yumi. She can be a bit of a handful at times!" Your uncle laughed before gesturing to the large bird on his forearm.

"Yumi is a Peregrine falcon. She's one of my summons. She excels at tracking."

You tilted your head at this before slowly standing to your feet as you eyed the bird. You half-expected her to attack you.

"I've seen her before. When I first moved here she appeared at my window and led me to a field where I met Kiba and Akamaru..."

Uncle Gyo grinned at your words as a mischievous look appeared in his eyes.

"Ah yes, I set that up. You had been here for a little while and I wanted you to be more comfortable so I thought a friend would help."

You stared at your uncle in shock as his words slowly sunk in. You didn't realize he was looking out for you back then...However, before you could comment on this your uncle released Yumi into the air as he pulled the scroll off his back. He then laid the scroll on the ground and opened it. On the scroll, you saw a series of names signed in what looked to be red ink.
