The Story of Jab Nemerky

It all began with a day like any other day…except today was the day that jab would finally obtain his headband that showed that he was a full-fledge shinobi. Jab was always looked upon favorably, he was top of his class got everything right never missed a single question, and who can forget in the battle arena he always dominated…but he never got along with others, he was more of a “holding me back” type of person. So now we join Jab in the academy.

"Proctor: Alright everyone take your seat"

*ssssss* The proctor through a kunai next to the students ear, then kunai hit the wall with a loud *tack*

"Student 1: What was that for?"

"Proctor: I told you to sit your ass down NOW!"

"Student 1: *whisper* I can’t wait until I can get out of this damn academy."

In a in a split millisecond the student was being held up in the air by the shirt. The proctor was about to through him against the wall but hesitated.

"Proctor: I should just fail your sorry ass right now and make you take this all over again, but then I would have to see your ugly mug again. So how about you sit there like the nice little pest that you are and SHUT THE HELL UP!"

The room was now dead silent. Everyone knew not to piss off the proctor, but of course this student was ignorant and annoying. The proctor dropped the student, and the student plopped onto his seat. The proctor began to give his final lesson, which of course was to successfully perform one ninjutsu, one genjutsu, and one taijutsu; on a ninja (of course the ninja was a highly skilled ninja that would be able to counter any E, D, and C rank jutsu). Each student went up one by one and preformed their jutsus. When it was Jabs turn to work his magic, for ninjutsu he preformed the Water Snake Jutsu, nothing special. Then for taijutsu he preformed Rising Waterfall, but it didn’t have any effect on the shinobi because he knew how to counter it. But when he preformed his genjutsu everyone was in shock. He preformed the Cold Blood Jutsu. The shinobi fell to the ground and everyone stared in horror as he held his hand out for help. The proctor immediately used release and the genjutsu wore off.

"Proctor:…Never I in all my years of teaching saw a student perform Cold Blood perfectly when he is at an academy level. Many have tried but they have all failed and caused the jutsu to rebound onto them instead. Congratulations Jab Nemerky here is your headband."

"Jab: *In his head* Hmm easy as cake. Too bad that I have to wait until all these clowns are done."

"Proctor: Next up Alastair Braidem."

Alastair was always good at being a ninja, but he never matched Jab’s power. Alastair performed his jutsus quickly to get it over with. When everyone had finished everyone took their seat. The proctor began to pair up people into groups of three.

"Proctor: Alright group one will be: Jab Nemerky, Alastair Braidem, and Alexandra Willow. The three of you are the perfect team. Jab you are skilled in offense and defense plus you showed mastery with all three of your jutsus. Alastair you are a skilled in offense, and Alexandra you are skilled in defense."

The proctor kept on pairing off the students. When he finished he told them that they would be meeting their Sensei’s soon enough. Everyone went outside and waited in their designated area to meet their squad leaders. Alastair and Alexandra began to talk about how great it was to finally have become genin, and that the road would not be any easier from now on. Jab was leaning against a pole in the shade, like if he didn’t even want to wait for his Sensei.

"Xanthos: Well, I’m guessing you’re my students, nice to meet you all. Alright meet me at the top of the big water tower in 5 minutes; don’t be late or you’ll have to run a mile while avoiding my kunais, good luck."

"Alexandra: Are you kidding me, ugh fine. Let’s go guys, the clock is ticking."

"Alastair: Um Jab, aren’t you coming?"

"Jab: I’ll be there don’t worry, go on without me."

"Alastair: Alright dude but don’t be late."

"Jab: Yeah whatever."

Alastair and Alexandra walked off to the tower and broke into a sprint; they began to jump from roof to roof. Jab on the other hand just walked the other way. Alexandra and Alastair both made it with one minute to spare, but Jab was nowhere in sight.

"Alastair: Damn it, I told him not to be late."

*Poof*

"Xanthos: Well I can see that you two made it, I hope the other one makes it in the next thirty seconds."

Thirty seconds passed and Jab didn’t arrive. He was just taking his time to get the water tower, he didn’t care what anyone thought or if he was late or not. After waiting two more minutes Jab finally appeared.

"Jab: Hey."

"Xanthos: Hey? Do you know that you’re late? Go run a mile; I’ll be there in a second to through some kunais."

"Jab: I’m not doing anything."

"Xanthos: Excuse me, if I tell you run you run, if I tell you shut up you shut up, if I tell you scream you ask how loud. Got it?"

"Jab: Yeah and if you tell me to go jump off a cliff I’m going to do that to. How about we just start whatever you have planned."

"Xanthos: Kid I’m giving you five seconds to start walking over there. One. Two. Three. Four…you don’t want me to say it."

"Jab: If you really meant what you’re saying then you wouldn’t hesitate, that’s your first mistake Sensei.

"Xanthos: Really? Five. Death Bind!"

"Jab: Aaaaagggghhhhhh!"

"Alastair: JAB!"

"Xanthos: Don’t interfere, that an order both you."

Jab falls to the floor with the immense pain that he is feeling. Xanthos lets the genjutsu continue until Jab begs for it to stop. But of course Jab goes against any authority especially authority that tells him what to do, so he endures the pain. After five minutes have gone by Xanthos is standing there listening to Jab screams, but Alexandra and Alastair can’t stand it anymore. At the same time the crack.

"Alastair and Alexandra: RELEASE!"

"Jab: *breathing heavily*"

"Xanthos: Good job the two of you went against orders to stop what you thought was wrong, congratulations."

"Alastair and Alexandra: What?"

"Xanthos: I did all of this on purpose, I needed to see if you three were capable of going against direct orders, even orders from your sensei."

"Jab: *Breathing heavily* So…your…telling…me…that…was…a…test!"

"Xanthos: Yes and you all passed."

"Jab: You’re…a…real asshole."

"Xanthos: Just a little, but you see there is only one reason why I did this. Our village’s Amekage is a cold blooded killer, just like the Amekage before him and so on. And I hate the senseless killing, that’s I want you three to be able to go against orders for the better of mankind."

"Alastair: But Sensei can’t you be killed for going against orders?"

"Xanthos: Yes, and that’s why this can’t be talked about, the other Senseis have agreed with me and are going to train each of their student to go to what they believe is right and not let some homicide killer give them orders."

"Jab: Well let’s see, I’m going against what the Amekage is saying…yeah I’m ok with that."

"Xanthos: Alright now that that is out of the way we will begin with introductions. Alastair, then Alexandra, and then Jab."

"Alastair: Ok, hi my name is Alastair Braidem, I’m 12 years old, I’m really good when I’m on the offensive, plus my ninjutsu is awesome, and I work well with others."

"Alexandra: Hey, my name is Alexandra Willow, but please call me Alex. I’m 12 years old, I’m skilled when it comes to the defensive and my genjutsu is really good, and I’m really excited to work with you all."

"Jab: My name is Jab Nemerky. I’m 12 years old and the oldest of the three, I’m skilled in ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, and summoning. I don’t like to be told what to do; and I believe this team is going to only slow me down.

"Xanthos: Alright, so we have one that is optimistic, one that’s eager, and one that only thinks about himself…great. Well let’s go."

"Alex: Wait, aren’t you going to share."

"Xanthos: Oh right, my name is Xanthos Flare. My age is not of your concern, and I’m your Sensei."

"Alastair: Damn, so much for an introduction."
