Chapter 5 - Rival.

[1 Week later.]

Tsukimi sidestepped a very slow kick from Tenma and tripped him. Before he could fall on the floor she grabbed him by the back of his shirt and threw him at Noshitori. She then slightly tilted her head to the left dodging a punch from Kana and flipped her over her shoulder, slamming her on the ground.

Then Kaguya and Chiyuri tried attacking her together but that failed when Chiyuri slipped while running. Kaguya clicked her tongue and sent a punch towards Tsukimi's temple.

'The only person who can kinda keep up with me.' Tsukimi smiled and deflected her fist with the back of her fist. She immediately fired a kick towards Kaguya's face but the girl jumped back. Tsukimi continued to engage her and closed the distance between them faster than any child her age should have.

Kaguya's eyes widened and she put her arms up to block Tsukimi's punch.

*PAK*

Tsukimi's fist smashed into her arms and dragged Kaguya through the dirt. Kaguya rolled along the ground but managed to stop herself. She dusted herself off and rushed towards Tsukimi again.

She jumped into the air and sent a roundhouse kick aimed at Tsukimi's dome. Tsukimi caught her leg and spun her around.

"Alleyoop!" Tsukimi yelled as she threw Kaguya towards Chiyuri, who was just standing up. They crashed into each other and the only people left standing were Morikage and Urushi.

"Not going to fight?" She asked with a mocking grin. Morikage shook his head rapidly and Urushi smiled nervously, "I had a big breakfast and I don't like throwing up." He said with a sweat.

"Aww man, I wanted to fight some more." Tsukimi sighed. Just as she was about to walk inside, she saw Kaguya stand up with her fists ready. She had a small nosebleed and a grin on her face.

"We're not done yet, Tsukimi!" She yelled. Tsukimi turned her head and they made eye contact.

"Hurry up and get out of the way! You guys didn't see what happened last time!" Noristoshi said in a hushed tone as he helped Tenma and Kana up. Chiyuri ran towards the building leaving Kaguya and Tsukimi on the field alone.

The wind blew hard and chakra began to shroud their bodies.

"What happened three days ago won't happen again! I will regain my title as the strongest orphan!" Kaguya yelled as her chakra levels rose. Tsukimi was kinda shocked.

'This girl, she is something else! I knew she wasn't normal! I had my suspicions but I'm confident she must be related to the Otsutsuki clan in some capacity!' Tsukimi grinned widely and stopped holding back as well.

Her chakra began to shroud her body and a silhouette of a black serpent with red eyes appeared above her.

"No hard feelings right?" Tsukimi asked and Kaguya nodded, "No hard feelings."

With that, both of them vanished from their positions. Within a heartbeat, they were face-to-face. Kaguya released a frightening kick that Tsukimi narrowly dodged, leaving a thin cut on her cheek. Tsukimi jumped back and reengaged Kaguya just as fast as she had left.

Her fists became snakes as she sent a punch aimed at Kaguya's head. Her opponent dodged but was then kicked in the face. Before she could recover, Tsukimi punched her in the gut and flipped her over her shoulder.

*BOOM*

A decent crater was created along with a dust cloud. Tsukimi stood over Kaguya for a second, a grave mistake. Kaguya wrapped her legs around Tsukimi's neck and brought her down.

Kaguya constricted her legs and spoke, "Tap out! If you don't I might break something!"

"Me? Tap out? In your dreams!" Tsukimi yelled as she slowly stood up with Kaguya still wrapped around her neck.

"If you won't get off, I'll force you off!" Tsukimi savagely grinned as she leaned back and slammed Kaguya against the ground.

*BOOM*

"KEUGH!" Kaguya spat up a bit of blood and gritted her teeth, 'Her physical strength is beyond what a child our age should have!'

Tsukimi rose again and prepared to slam Kaguya again. Kaguya released her hold and flipped away using Tsukimi's shoulders.

Both girls stood apart from each other with smiles on their faces. Kaguya then sighed and threw her hands up, "You win."

Tsukimi raised her eyebrow, "We're not done fighting yet! I still have so much gas left in the tank!"

Kaguya waved her hand in dismissal, "You already inflicted enough damage you maniac. My ears are ringing and I'm going to have a backache for days…"

"Tch, I guess…" Tsukimi said as she lowered her chakra levels to below a genin again. Kaguya did the same and they walked into the orphanage together and past their audience.

"They're terrifying." Tenma said solemnly and everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Tsukimi and Kaguya eventually split ways and Tsukimi took a look at her status. She gained 7 points in SPD and FORT over the week and wanted to see her new skills.
