With a flew of the pinkie, Kurokarasu's arm went up to block the flung kunai as the Kazekage sat there, bored.
"Use rasengan, kid, not kunai, Kurokarasu will stay still for you while you preform it, just successfully hit him with rasengan and it'll be good. I'm too lazy to use shadow clones right now..."
Yawning lightly, Ketsueki stood up and positioned Kurokarasu right in front of her before leaping up high in the air and throwing a kunai in just the right position for the boy to trip.
"Ah!"
Sekibaku saw the kunai, but it was too late to stop, however he did manage to prepare himself so he didn't fall on his head. As his foot hit the kunai he purposely leaned forwards and landed on his hands, jumping back on to his feet again.
Hm... I should have seen that coming he thought. Then an idea popped into his head.
He threw a kunai at the Kazekage and once again charged at the puppet with a Rasengan.
Ketsueki smirked as the kunai hit her straight in the head, only to have a puff of smoke appear and a log with one embedded kunai appear. The Kazekage then preformed her ventriloquist jutsu.
Her voice then came out from the puppet's mouth.
"Seki-san, rule one about fight a puppet master, we prefer not to show ourselves in battle, but rather let our puppets do the work for us." She said through the puppet as it skidded to the side when Sekibaku passed, "rule two,"
Suddenly a hand grabbed Sekibaku's left leg and began to drag him down into the ground as the puppeteer began to emerge.
"You don't know where we'll be hiding."
She then leapt out of the ground when he was half way down, and stood in front of him.
"Rule three, don't think that just because we're good at long range jutsu means we're terrible at close combat. Also, as entertaining as seeing you as a head in the ground would be... I've let you be in a position where you can use your rasengan to get yourself out. The head-hunter jutsu is one of my favourites." She explained before patting the boy on the head and stepped back, but not before picking up her kunai from the ground and the kunai from the log, she then turned back to him and smirked, "You know, for a pre-academy ninja, you're not all that bad."
Substitution... Of course. Bloody hell, no wonder she's Kazekage. Sekibaku thought with a scowl, Anyway, looks like I'll have to take her advice...
"Rasengan!" he yelled as he slammed his chakra infused hand into the ground. There was just one drawback, he was flying backwards, towards the edge of the tower.
Great...
He spun around and landed about an inch from the edge. Then he saw a large piece of the roof coming towards him.
"Chakra blades!" he yelled and the blue knife-like chakra objects extended from his fingers and he cut the rock in four smaller pieces which all zoomed past his head.
"Whew!" he said, "Close one!"
Smart kid... just needs a tinge more control so he isn't the one flung off and the rasengan is officially his to use. She thought with a smirk as she preformed the tiger seal and vanished in a puff of smoke, only to appear right in front of Sekibaku.
She the grabbed his shirt's collar and dragged him away from the edge, once he was five meters away from it, she dropped him.
"One more try and you'll have mastered the rasengan, just this time, push forward, so you don't fly back."
After being roughly dropped to the ground, Sekibaku noticed Ketsueki's puppet standing near the hole he had made in the roof when he escaped from the Headhunter Jutsu. It was unattended. Spying an opportunity he ran at full speed towards it whilst charging up a Rasengan in his hand.
"RASENGAN!" He yelled as he thrust it in to the puppet. After a few seconds it started spinning and then went flying through the air for several meters. Due to the significant force in the attack, Sekibaku skidded backwards slightly. When the puppet landed it dismantled itself on to the ground.
"Hey Ketsueki! I've got that--Wow, is that Kurokarasu? You're going to have a fun time fixing him, aren't you?" Shinigami stated as she walked over to her older sister and handed her the book before walking over to Kurokarasu's remains, "Hey, Sekibaku, if I were you, I wouldn't piss of the Kazekage right now... the last time one of her puppets were killed she tore her opponent to pieces with her bare hands."
"Shinigami, don't scare the kid. Now, boy, do you, or do you not, accept my offer?" She asked, thought not being able to help the dark undertone her voice possessed.
Sekibaku looked in to the Kazekage's eyes and said:
"Ketsueki-sama, you know how you told me earlier, how you could see the hatred, curiosity, anger and confusion in me, just by looking in to my eyes? I see similar things in you. No matter how hard you try to hide your emotions with that cold expression and your fake smiles, I can tell there is a little girl inside you. Longing for someone who really cares for you." He turned and started for the door, and added:
"I accept your offer, Ketsueki-sensei. Though at least at first, I would like to live with the side branch of the Sikinara clan here in Sunagakure. It's been a long time since I saw my cousins."
Little girl?
"Sure thing, kid, now Shinigami can go and help you pack, showing as you'll be on the same team. You two need to socialise with one-another. It will help. Now I have a meeting with some crabby council members I need to attend to, so sianara, suckers!" With that, the Kazekage vanished in puff of smoke.
"Heh, don't take her 'sianara, suckers!' thing to heart, Sekibaku-san, she says it to everyone, even the feudal lords and council members. No matter what, Ketty-chan is just as much a teenagers as Teiru and I am." Shinigami explained before smiling, "Now you live in Konohagakure, now do you not? It'll be three days travel to get there, so looks like you may be spending three days with me, showing Ketsueki has alot to do."
Sekibaku turned and faced Shinigami.
"In any case, I don't really mind. In fact I'm quite looking forward to it." he said with a smile.
This girl must really be something... Usually it is much harder to get past my emotional barrier...
"When we get to Konoha, I should probably contact Tyrigenji and Goli to say I'm moving to Suna, and ask them if they want to come with. Then we'll officially have moved our main branch to Suna. For the time being anyway."
Shinigami grinned as she heard the sand in her large gourd rustle.
"Gah! Ignore the sand, I may be humble but y'know how this stuff has a mind of it's own! Damn Shukaku!" Shinigami said in light panic as the cork dropped onto the ground and a bit of sand started pouring out.
With a sheepish smile, she picked up the cork and put it back, but not before hissing at the gourd and hitting it.
Shinigami then sighed before walking to the edge of the roof. She then turned and smiled.
"Now we need to get to the missions office, stat." She grinned before leaping onto the next building and turning around, "Are you coming or what?"
