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!]]

[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.]

[image_problem]

[After being released from both of the ninjas' grips, Yumi instantly went back on her feet and narrowly dodged the kunai Tenten threw at her. She glanced at both of the teenagers for a brief moment as her eyes returned back to normal. There was no smile this time, just an blank look.]

Ciao.

[She quickly ran from the scene before any of the teens could recover from the shock.]

[beforethedarkness]

[Shit--

He grits his teeth, growling low at the girl but...

His eyes flicker briefly to Tenten. Damn it, if he had figured it out sooner, or had prepared for that kind of retaliation...

Eventually - it feels like forever to him - he makes a decision and kneels down beside Tenten, looking her over before putting his hand on her to try and take on any excess static.]

Can you move?

[Though he doesn't say it, he does mean beyond the little stunt with the kunai. As in, can she run and walk and that sort of thing.]

[usedswift]

I'm fine.

[It's said shortly and with more than a little pain -- the lightning or electricity or whatever had gone straight through all her weapons. Not just the ones in her holster or her pouch, but the ones she was wearing under her clothes, too. She's still twitching from the shock, though she's trying to push herself to her feet.]

You're right though, that wasn't Yumi. We've got to warn the others.

[beforethedarkness]

Let the numbness wear off before you do anything. I can call them from here.

[usedswift]

Naruto-kun and Shino-kun first, they're closest to her.

[A bit of a pained grunt, and she turns her back to him to unbutton her shirt and start dropping kunai and shuriken to the ground, feeling the sting where the extra lightning had threatened to sear her skin through the metal.]

I've got bandages, I'll be fine.

[beforethedarkness]

You'll need burn ointment too. Here.

[And, right before he makes his calls, he hands Tenten a small bottle of the stuff. Trust the fire user to be prepared for burns...]

[usedswift]

Thanks.

[She snatches it out of the air, but once the burning weapons are removed, she looks to him instead and only slips the ointment into a pocket for now, instead pulling out a roll of gauze and her water bottle.]

Here, your cheek's going to bruise pretty badly. [She just moves right up into his space to wring out the cooler gauze and place it against his cheek. Stay still and let her tape it into place, rookie.]

...Thanks for that too, by the way.
