Taking up an apprentice

Ravage would come to the training field. He was planning on taking up an apprentice. He wanted to make sure that he was staying active.

"Hmm...."

Zeke overhears of this and says to himself
"Hmmmm.... I could do that. It gives me an excellent way to work on my darkness justus. I wonder how strong an uchiha is?"

Ravage would look over to the young individual.

"Be my apprentice and I will show you... By the way. What is your name?"

He would ask curiously.

Zeke smirked and replied " The name is Zeke and sure I'll be under you if it helps me learn more about myself. Just so you know I have a different type of chakra."

Just then Zeke summoned his chakra and said " Darkness-Style: Shadow Spine Justu!"

He used the shadow around him to form a darkness claw over his hand. "Now lets see what I can learn from you." Zeke said with a smile on his face.

Ravage would be kinda impressed at his visuals.

"Hmm. Shadow manipulation... Ok, come at me. Let's see your offensive game..."

He said as he got into a sasuke stance. If zeke could see, he would be able to see that Ravage's eyes had turned from a jet black color, to a dark red with three tomoes around his pupils.

"No its just shadows, I can use darkness from everything." Zeke replied, " Hey is that the legendary sharingan? It looks like my eyes except those tomoes."

He used the darkness from another shadow to make a claw over his other hand. Then Zeke jumped back and took a wolf like stance.

"So how shall you test my skills Ravage? Is it gonna be simple, or will I have to go all out?" Zeke said as he waited for Ravage to make the next move.

"Give me everything you've got..." as Ravage said that he would run toward Zeke with a slow pace. As he ran he would slide his feet in the ground. As he did this, the ground would shoot up at Zeke at an incredible speed.

"If you can keep up with these simple attacks then I'll take you as an apprentice. Try to have fun. He would eye Zeke with a dark look in his eye.

"Heh easy as hell." Zeke said as he jumped into the air.

Using his speed from the shadow spine justu, Zeke used each piece of the ground as placing for his feet to jump off of. As he was rushing toward Ravage, Zeke backfliped under the last piece and yelled "Darkness-Style: Shadow Stride Justu!"

When he touched the shadow on the ground, Zeke melded into it. A millisecond later Zeke popped up from another shadow a few feet from Ravage.

"Well that was a bit boring, what now?" Zeke said as he got back into his battle stance.

Impressive.

"Nice, but it's cool. Time to up the difficulty..." Ravage would vanish from sight. He would be using the speed to the best of his abilities. He would activate his blaze chakra release. He would have a black aura around him. His two salamanders, Andre and Jr would leap from his pocket. And run to the opposite side of Zeke. The would spread out so that all three of us made a triangle around him. All of them would yell.

"Fire style: Blaze ball!!!" All of them would exhale a meteor sized ball from their mouths at Zeke. They were too close for him to dodge. Hopefully he had a defensive tactic.

Crap another fire user. And animals too., Zeke thought to himself, then he said "Ok thats how you wanna play I see."

He quickly did the handsigns and said "Darkness-Style: Black Earth Justu." He made a dome out of the ground to block the three blasts. In the darkness Zeke finished the shadow spine justu and dipped into the darkness when he was done. When he came out of a shadow from in between the salamanders and threw kunai both of them. Before the salamanders noticed where he was at, Zeke rushed with extreme speed of the shadow spine to claw at Ravage with the darkness claw.

As he neared Ravage, Zeke yelled "Dark Claw Strike!!"

Andre and Jr would wave their staffs and deflect the kunai.

Andre: "You're gonna have to do Better than that boy..."

They would start to dash behind him as he was running toward Ravage. Ravage would catch zeke's arm in midswing. He would toss him over his shoulder aiming to pummel him into the ground. The salamander would appear over him with their staffs in full swing at zeke's chest.

Zeke quickly did a windmill kick to block the staffs and to regain his balance. When he got up, Zeke did a backflip to get some distance.

When Zeke landed, he snickered and said "Three verses one huh? Let me show you how I've surviving all these years."

He quickly rushed toward Jr and gave him a swift elbow to the top of his head. Before Andre could react, Zeke gave him a kick in the midsection. Then he went back to Jr and grabbed his arm, did a twist flip, and used the momentum to flip Jr on his neck. He preceeded to hit Andre in his pressure points such as his temple, sides, arms, and legs. Andre quickly was stunned from the hits.

"Well that should take care of them, now lets do this man to man." Zeke said as he glared at Ravage.

Ravage would be incredibly impressed.

"Remember not to use chakra too much, you don't have a lot to spend... Ok one on one it is."

Ravag would walk over to his salamanders. He would place his hand over them, transferring his blaze chakra into them. He would pick them up and put them on his shoulders. He would look at him.

"Ok ten more mins of this..."

Ravage would throw about ten kunai around the area. They would hit the ground staying there.

"Come at me."

"Oh thanks. Don't worry the only thing that use a lot of was black earth, shadow spine only uses a small constant flow to stay together. But my best justu shadow stride uses barely any chakra." Zeke explained.

He canceled his shadow spine and slowly stepped into the kunai circle and asked "So what are we finna do now? Are we fighting fist to fist or is there some added suprise."

Ravage would slightly grin.

"Don't worry about the kunai. We are about to test your taijutsu/striking. Come at me with strikes. Try to hit me. No chakra involved."

"Wow, ok." Zeke said "This is a great way to pratice all the martial arts I've learned"

Zeke went in a swift left punch to Ravage's chest. He is expecting that Ravage will counter.

Ravage would spin to the right. But before he did the he grabbed zeke's fist with his right hand. As he was spinning he would have his left elbow in the air, aiming to bring it down on his head.

Zeke blocked the elbow with his right forearm. Then he sent a kick to Ravage's ribs.

Ravage would see the kick coming this was when he decided to display his tremendous speed. He whirled around with a blur, caught the kick, stuck his foot out tripping him into the air, as he would be in the air ravage would send a whirlwind kick to his stomach with a crushing force.

"My sharingan can see all of those attacks..."

"Wow thats nice." Zeke said as he caught leg "But from all the training I've been through, you're gonna have to do a better than this.

Just then Zeke did a flip to land a heel drop into Ravage's stomach.

Ravage would take his other arm and catch the leg. He would then let it go to Put his hand behind him to hit the ground elevating himself. As he did that he would grab a hold of Zeke and try to force his body deep into the ground using all of his might.

"Ok this session is almost over..."

If his body drop would have worked like he thought it would, he would throw two bone crushing blows to his chest. He was trying to see something.

Just before Ravage slammed him into the ground, Zeke sent a kick to Ravage's shoulder to get out of his grip. When he let go, Zeke stepped back a bit still ready for battle.

When he got ready, Zeke asked "What is the last thing I need to do then?"

Ravage would sit down. He was expecting him to do the same.

"I want to know why you fight... Since we never got to it before I guess I will ask you this."

Zeke laughed and sat down across from Ravage.

In a calming voice Zeke replied " I fight for fun. Its been my way to know of myself. All my life I've seen it as a way to learn about people. Never once have I killed an opponent because I see then as friends. In all my travels its been a way for me to learn about this world. From great masters to beginning students, I see them all like friends."

Ravage was intrigued. And was prepared to train him for one reason. His reason for fighting was not like everyone elses.

"Ok, good answer." Ravage got up. And paced back and forward. "Ok. Meet me at the uchiha hideout at 9:30 sharp. ((ive got work till then...)) At that time we will start your training. Make sure you pack, Cus you will be staying there for a long time."

Ravage was getting kinda hungry as a matter of fact.

"Zeke, would you like to eat? We can head over to Ray's for anything you'd like."
