4th Wall | Video/Action Various/3 Scenario

[beforethedarkness]

Scene 1

[Sometime early Saturday morning - before he gets captured by Bowser, thankfully - Sasuke is seen on camera fighting hand-to-hand with his Lucario. Or, at least it appears to be hand-to-hand until Sasuke blows a giant fireball at the pokémon, who retaliates with an Aura Sphere. The two attacks collide and explode in mid-air before they go at it hand to hand again. The demonstration of special techniques, weapons expertise (from Sasuke anyway) and martial arts goes on for at least ten minutes before Sasuke calls a stop to it silently, causing Lucario to stand tall and nod.

That's about when Sasuke grabs the camera, smirking just a little bit as he wipes the sweat from his brow. It's something he hasn't done in a long time, and he has to say that it feels good to have his chakra and his weapons back.]

I guess it's happened again, hasn't it.

Naruto, Sakura, Tenten, Obito, Shino. I want to fight with all of you. Come to the Lake of Rage as soon as you can.

Scene 2

[In and around Olivine City appears to be none other than Sasuke Uchiha, but something seems different. He's clearly older, taller, and smiling a lot more - more relaxed than his younger self. He has an Arcanine at his side - Yōgan, for those who know him - who seems to be perfectly at ease with the man beside him, having recognized him as his trainer.

When he walks by, he flashes a smile and gives a wave before approaching, fearless and easy-going as he does so.]

Hey.

----------

Scene 3

[Somewhere in the Ilex Forest, a little boy is running around. He seems frightened and alone, though there is a familiar Arcanine trailing behind him. The ninja animal - at least, that's what he thinks it is - seems to bring him comfort, but it doesn't change the fact that he's lost. He was just training with his big brother to perfect throwing kunai, but now he doesn't know where he is. It's dark, and it doesn't look like the Uchiha training grounds at all!

It's only when he spots someone that he runs up, almost in tears but trying his hardest to hold back. That's when he clears his throat, a little flushed before looking up and asking.]

Uh, hi. Do you know how I can get back to the Uchiha training grounds? I was training with my big brother but I lost sight of him and... Now I have this ninja animal with me, he came in this weird ball, but I still don't know how to get back. Can you help me?

[[OoC: SO, THREE CHOICES. Scene 1, this account will be answering as that is just regular Sasuke only enhanced with his chakra. Scenes 2 and 3 will be replied to with worldscutestuchiha, for icons with both Flirtsuke (also known as Charasuke, an AU version of Sasuke from the latest Naruto movie) and seven-year-old Sasuke, who is from before the massacre. Just say who you want in the subject header!]]

Comments

[image_problem]

['Yumi' was just about to kiss Sasuke just when the kunai came between their feet. She turned her head to look at the kunoichi as she jumped down. There might be a shocked look on her face but she was hoping someone who knew the girl would turn up at some point.]

[beforethedarkness]

[He blinked at the interference, frowning a little at Tenten but taking a step back. What's she getting so mad over? He's not sure, but...

Whatever's going on, it's better if he's not involved. It seems like fangirl conflict.]

[usedswift]

What the hell do you think you're doing?

[Excuse you, Sasuke, she's just sliding in between you both and grabbing her by the collar.]

What about your guy back home?!

[image_problem]

[The grabbing of Yumi's collar didn't really have an effect on the girl. In fact, all it did is stirred up a smirk on her face. It was painfully obvious what the relationship between the two was.]

What? Did you seriously think I'd tell you the truth and nothing but the truth?

['Yumi' lowers her voice enough for only Tenten to hear.] Do you really think you're good enough for him?

[usedswift]

[Her head jerks around sharply to stare at the other girl with the accusation, fist tightening in her collar before she lets it go with a snap.]

You're not acting like yourself. The Yumi I know would never say something like that.

[And there's another kunai in her hands as she faces her down, scowl only deepening.]

What's wrong with you?

[image_problem]

[Yumi's fists tightens as she stared back down at the girl, watching for any moves she might pull.]

I've gotten sick of you and your overbearing attitude. Just because someone's nice to you doesn't mean its genuine, you idiot.

[She did a mock laugh.]

I can't believe you actually thought we were friends.

[usedswift]

[She exhales and she almost sounds like she's been punched as her eyes widen and her grip tightens on the knife.]

Then why the hell pretend until now? What did you want from me? If you just wanted to get close to Sasuke you didn't have to pretend to be my friend.

[image_problem]

[It was with that comment Yumi had the calmest look on her face. Not angry, sadistic or anything. Just calm and smiling.]

Cause it wouldn't be fun without all the heartbreak, best friend.

[usedswift]

[She's all but forgotten Sasuke's behind her now as she stalks forward, knife still in her hand.]

You don't mean that.

[image_problem]

[The smile on 'Yumi''s face didn't change.]

Does it look like I'm lying?

[usedswift]

[It hurts, but the only emotion she's displaying outwardly is anger as she stalks forward further.

Crack.

She doesn't use the knife, and it's not some kind of overly-dramatic slap across the face -- it's a punch, hard enough that it should split the skin over Yumi's cheekbone if she's any kind of normal.]

[image_problem]

['Yumi' allowed the punch to strike her face but she didn't show any indication of pain nor did her skin show any sign of blood shed. Instead, a certain kind of mark was flickering both in her eyes and forehead for a brief moment as she grabbed the kunoichi by the neck and held her up in the air. She might be stronger than you think, Tenten.]

[usedswift]

Gnngh!

[If there was anything she was expecting, it wasn't being bodily lifted off the ground, but she's quick to retaliate. She switches her grip on the kunai and presses the ring into the hollow of Yumi's throat as she kicks forward.]

Let me go!

[image_problem]

[Neither attack seem to faze the girl, let alone injure her. All it did was making the mark in her eyes flicker even more.]

You want me to let go? Alright.

[Yumi lets go of the girl's shirt.....right before she threw a hard punch with her free hand.]

[beforethedarkness]

[Surprisingly, it doesn't connect to Tenten.

Sasuke's cheek is likely going to bruise, and he's glaring coldly at Yumi before gripping her wrist tightly.]

That's enough.

[Truthfully, he had meant to step in earlier, but this was all he was in time for. He had seen girls catfighting but... This was more serious than that.]

[usedswift]

[She already had both hands up to brace when Sasuke stepped in, leaving her stumbling a little awkwardly as her feet hit the ground before she caught her balance and glared.]

Let her go, Sasuke. She's not worth our time.

[image_problem]

[Yumi made no motion to to retaliate Sasuke's move after hearing Tenten's comment. She didn't need to, as a matter of fact.]

You heard the girl. [She sneered at Sasuke with a smirk on her face,] Do you really want to waste your energy on me?

[beforethedarkness]

That depends. Are you or are you not the real Yumi?

[He didn't move or even loosen his grip a little, coldly glaring at the girl in front of him as he waited somewhat-patiently for the answer.

Well, only somewhat. Truthfully he's tempted to hurt her himself to keep her away from the others who knew her if it's the real Yumi, but...]

The real Yumi never, even once, had marks like yours on her. I doubt she can control a tattoo flickering like that.

[usedswift]

What?

[It takes a second, her hands still up to guard in case the other girl lunges, but she freezes at Sasuke's question and looks harder. There was no mistake, those marks... she'd never seen them before.

She doesn't exactly relax, but the rage is starting to be replaced with the kind of cool calculation that someone who controlled dozens of weapons at a time needed.

She just steps in beside Sasuke, one hand on her shuriken holster, ready to intercept if another blow is coming.]

[image_problem]

[That question was what she wasn't expecting and that smirk on her face was replaced with a new look of genuine fear. It took a moment for her to reply and when she did, her voice was low and cold.]

Did you forget what you said? You barely know me. [The marks eyes in her eyes showed up again and seemed to stay rather permanent.] And there's nothing else you need to know.

[After she let that slip out of her mouth, the girl kneeled hard into a rather low area of Sasuke's...]

[beforethedarkness]

[His breath catches and his grip wavers at the kick, causing him to fall to his knees. OW. That really freaking hurt. But he tried to tighten his grip around her wrist again, yanking hard to try and force her to the ground.]

Your face just then is all the proof we need...

[Nevermind that he's panting a little, that really flipping hurt.]

[usedswift]

Sasuke!

[And she's moving, trusting Sasuke's grip on her to hold long enough to drag her into a choke, trying to cut off the oxygen to her brain and leave her unconscious. They could interrogate her once she woke up -- or at least, that was the plan.]

[image_problem]

[Sasuke gripping Yumi's wrist? Check.]

[Tenten attempting to choke Yumi? Check.]

[Having enough power to electrocute the two? Double check.]

[It took a while to get the charge started but when it did, small bolts of light purple electricity surrounded the girl's body before being redirected to the two teenagers' bodies. This was the first time she's been able to actually perform this ability and it felt good.]

[beforethedarkness]

[The instant he feels the shock he releases her wrist and jumps back, but it still leaves him feeling numb and his hand twitches with it. What is she!?

Damn it...]

[usedswift]

[Tenten screams from the jolt -- electricity's not something any of her teammates have any affinity for, and being shocked for the first time like this leaves her falling back onto her butt, body numbed and muscles twitching uncontrollably.

It's not enough to leave her totally immobilized as she draws a kunai and hurls it toward the other girl, trying to distract her and pull her attention away from Sasuke, at least.]
