Phoenix Fire (Book 2/6 of the Phoenix of Konoha series)

Emi vs Choji

~Emi's P.O.V.~

I stand across from Choji grinning. Finally he had put the potato chips away and was ready to give me a good fight. I ran towards Choji and threw a punch. He blocked it, and that left me open for Choji to punch me. I try to dodge the punch, but he's to fast and the punch hits me in the stomach. I gasp for air, stumbling back but then dip low and sweep his feet.

~Riku's P.O.V.~

Lord Third said I'm free to explore the village on my own but where am I supposed to go? I hardly know this place. But that's the whole point though isn't it? I'll never know my new home unless I explore right?

Walking aimlessly, just going wherever my feet take me, I happen upon a training match. A small girl with dark blue hair was facing off with a thickset boy with swirls on his cheeks. So far from just watching for a few minutes, I could see some impressive action.

~3rd P.O.V.~

The boy slowly got up and held a sign. "Expansion Jutsu!" he yelled. Suddenly he blew up, inflating like a balloon. He then grinned and tucked his limbs into his torso and began to roll forward.

Emi yelled out "Phoenix Fire Jutsu!" in attempt to stop him but it broke against his fast moving body and she was forced to dive out of the way to avoid him barreling into her.

~Riku's P.O.V.~

I rushed forward and grabbed the gate when the heavy boy suddenly ballooned and rolled forward. "Whoa! Now that what I call a cool attack"

Having spent all my life cooped up in the complex, I had never seen an attack like that so understandably, I was excited.

~Emi P.O.V.~

Out of nowhere, I hear a sound nearby and it distracts me enough that I almost don't dodge Choji's next rush. Looking over quickly to satisfy my curiosity, I see a boy with long red hair intently watching our bout with amazement. "Who is..." Suddenly Choji's third rush catches me and I'm sent flying, landing on my back.

Struggling to my feet, I groan in pain. "Ugh, mental note, fight now, find out who the kid is later" I tell myself.

Jumping out of the way of yet another rush, I notice something. Choji can't stop on a dime. Quickly devising a plan, I wait till he slows down to turn the call out "Phoenix Flower Jutsu" This was merely to distract him though as I run to his side and throw shuriken at him to direct his next charge.

According to plan, he rushes straight for me. I back up a bit then jump out of the way and BAM! He hit the wall. I grin and spray him with Phoenix Fire Jutsu for good measure and his jutsu cancels as he passes out in a heap. Smirking, I yell "I win!" and fall back, grinning triumphantly as I lay there.
