Othello Training

[Mercutio]

Bodem Flame
Rank: C Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Can cause burns.
Special: Dragon, Ox, Tiger, Boar, Dragon
Drawback: A very direct attack, bursts on contact with target (or object if it does not hit the target). Causes fires to breakout, thus is a very dangerous technique to be used in any situation as it can burn the user alive.
Description: The user shoots a long line of condensed fire at the opponent(Like a flaming spit wad). Upon hitting the opponent the line bounces off and lands on the ground in multiple random spots. It then catches what is around it on fire. The fire that is made as a result is what is dangerous about it, not the initial shot itself.
Limit: Must have fire release

Othello finally was able to leave the monastery after all those years of training his mind, it was so difficult to train the mind after training the body; maybe he should reversed his training and did the mind first. Well either way if he did that he wouldn't have met the love of his life Emilia. She was his world and he would never want to part ways with her, but Emilia insisted that he experience the world.

There were people out there that needed him, people weaker and helpless against evil. So off he went, into the world he was shielded from all those years. Heres where he meets his first taste of what you could call evil...Walking towards a nearby training facility Othello was stopped by a younger and overzealous shinobi bumped into him and began to yell and get into Othello's face. "Got a problem with me old man?" the kids face got really into Othello, before it got too close Othello backed his face away slowly as if the kids breath stunk of horse crap. "No problem at all" beforeOthello could back away the shinobi was already doing handseals. Heat started to fill the young shinobi's mouth and the only thing Othello had time to do was take out his sword and plant it in the ground in front of him using it as a shield as he hid behind it watching a stream of fire exit the boys mouth and hit his sword, exploding so that the fire surrounded Othello. The heat was immense and before Othello could even talk to the kid to calm him down he vanished as quickly as he appeared.

Ripping his sword out of the ground, Othello held it for a second thinking about the technique the kid used. Rotating the blade to get the flame residue off, Othello followed the path he was on peacefully till he reached a large misty lake. It seemed the right time to take a small snack break. Unraveling the lunch box his love had made Othello looked about his surroundings.



The sun was no longer out and the mist was rising around the lake, it gave Othello a eery feeling that he was being watched from just beyond his sight. "Let them look" Othello thought to himself as he ate his sushi with zealous. Within the few mins of his arrival he knew he had to do something to get his mind off the ever looking eye, so training was the best bet. As he put his snack away Othello thought for a moment on what jutsu he should practice, it didn't take him long to come to a decision. Standing upto face the cold lake Othello began to do the hand seals one by one slowly trying to remember them. Othello's memory was pretty much on point but some finer details it was hard for him to remember, in this case it was the last hand seal. He couldnt remember if it was Dragon or snake. After a few seconds he just winged it and did the snake hand seal...that was a mistake.

Circling his fingers over his mouth Othello unleashed what he thought would be a controlled stream of fire going towards the center of the misty lake; what he didn't expect would be the jutsu actually exploding right in front of him uncontrolled and unrestrained. The explosion was greater then expected and Othello was sent backwards into a nearby tree. "Ow....ok...that...ow..." Othello said as he tried to get up from the base of the tree, brushing off the dead leaves, some still burning. Thankfully Othello did this jutsu when there was water around, or else something for sure would have been set on fire bigger then just a few leaves. "Alright so Snake wasn't the hand seal" he chuckled under his breath as he saw it leave his mouth. Doing the same hand seals except changing the last to dragon Othello was ready yet for another explosion. During the hand seals Othello could feel the heat inside his stomach churning to be released, pushing at his bodies tendons. Compressing the charkra in his felt a bit weird, for he was actually condensing the energy he knew would explode into fire the moment it would leave his mouth.



Othello began to move the chakra now towards the top of his stomach, it felt like a raging river; wanting to be released from the confines of its path. Just before it was going to expel from his mouth, a child came running out from behind a tree and smacked dab right into Othello's knee, tripping him onto his back and sending a giant jet of flame into the air. Coughing up black smoke Othello looked at the child that was breathing a bit hard and looked as if she was running from something. Before Othello talked he grabbed the young girl and rolled out of the way as the fire from the sky came back down to scar the world where he and the young girl once was. As the blazed settled down Othello looked towards the little girl in his arms and asked if she was ok.

The girl nodded and right out of the bushes came the boy Othello had a conflict earlier, well fight. The boy seemed to be running after the girl, Othello moved her behind him as she clung to his pants. "Whats going on here?" The boy stood in his tracks and glared at Othello. "You...Give me her she stole food from my fathers shop" The boy said pointing to little girl as she clung to Othello. She looked up at him with teary puppy eyes and sniffled, how could anyone be angry at this girl? "What will you do with her if I put her in your custody?" Othello didn't reciprocate the glare for he did not want to instigate yet another altercation with the girl in harms way. "She will have to pay for the food of course..." Othello reached for his bag so that he could pay the girls debt until the following words came out of the boys mouth "With her flesh..."

"Excuse me? I don't think I can allow that to happen she is just a child." Before He could finish the rest of what he wanted to say the boy attacked in a fire frenzy. Othello grabbed the girl and vanished into a nearby forest trying to find some cover so that the little girl could hide while he dealt with the boy. There was something wrong, Othello's stomach still felt like it was collecting the energy from inside his body and concentrating it towards his stomach as if it was getting ready to do another bodom flame. Finally finding a tree with a big enough for the girl to fit in he urged her forward and promised her he would be back for her and to stay here so that the evil boy doesn't find her. Moving away from her fast and creating a large trail to follow Othello tried to think of a plan and another one to calm his now burning stomach.

The sun finally pierced through the mist as Othello entered a clearing. The boy followed his trail just as Othello wanted and soon he was on his heals shooting fireballs. Othello met people like this boy before when he was younger. Headstrong, arrogant and mean spirited. People like that only cared for themselves and find people weaker then themselves lower then dirt. Othello hated injustice more then anyone and it was about time that someone stood up for the weak. As the boy was close enough Othello did the hand seals he was learning as quickly as possible and by the shock on the boys face Othello knew that he knew what he was doing. Inhaling fresh mist air Othello expelled it like a typhoon and with it the fire was born. A line of fire went surging through the air aimed towards the boys feet so that he could just be injured and not killed. The boy barely dodged the fire but it didn't go out in all directions like Othello wanted, Instead it stayed in place like a spot of fire on the dirt. The boy got ready to attack.

Othello missed. Was his accuracy that bad that he could miss a target that was basically standing still? Eh ridiculous but maybe all that time spent int he monastery dulled the edge he had built during his physical training. Perhaps so but he had to stop this boy from hurting the innocent little girl no matter what. This kid obviously had some ninja training from somewhere, most likely his father because he himself didnt look like a ninja for sure. The boy began to charge towards Othello's still heated body, the heat waves were rising from where the fire on the dirt was now. The boys feet were heavier then a normal ninja so that gave Othello some time to think of a plan to stop this kid in his tracks, meanwhile he saw that his hands were a bit rough from all that heat being produced, not a good sign.

Using the jutsu over and over again that was not really his style, but how much choice does he have of using a technique and learning it right off the bat. Using it in a real battle against someone wasnt really a good idea to begin with but Othello wasn't one of the smart ones from the ninja academy he was just the element kid. The heavy footed boy was almost upon Othello now, nearing heated body as he took out what appeared to be some kind of kunai, but it was rusted and jagged. If the blade didn't hit a vital organ and just pierced the skin the infection could probably kill you, who knows. As the boy jumped at Othello he took out the blade and pointed it towards Othello's heart so he could thrust it in and take his life.

Slapping the kunai away easily to the side, the boy went sprawling on the floor towards a tree trunk slamming into it with a thump. Othello was going to go for his sword by instinct but decided not to, it wouldnt have been good on Othello's conscience to have a young ignorant boys on his hands. The boy got up and immediately glared at Othello and growled "How did you learn that technique! It took me weeks to master it!" How could Othello explain things without getting him angry...guess there wasn't a way. "Took weeks? Well..I havent really mastered it yet i just did the basic movement that all fire jutsu have, you see I'm a ninjutsu master, its easy for me to learn the basic elements and their jutsu" Othello tried his best not to sound cocky or corny still it came out as such.

"Why you...I'll KILL YOU!". If only the threat was a light one, then Othello could go on with his day of wandering and the girl would be safe. Othello brought his chakra up so he would be ready just in case the kid would attack but he wouldn't wait for that chance. Doing the hand seals once more to do bodom flame Othello stopped himself, maybe it was seeing the innocent boy rush him or something inside that did it but he did what must be done. Stopping his chakra just as the boy rushed towards him once again this time with no kunai in hand Othello took a punch to his shoulder guard so he could not receive further or great injury. With the force the child did Othello shifted his weight to the right side of his body while grabbing the boy and throwing him into a nearby lake using his force against himself.

This kid didn't know when to quit and Othello thought hopefully the cool waters would chill his temper. Of course that was just wishful thinking but what else could you do in a situation like this; kill? Othello wasn't into the whole killing business. "Now can you settle down so we can talk?" The boy splashed around for a bit and looked Othello in the eye and saw no malice coming from him. Maybe the boy could actually trust someone for once. Othello gave the boy a helping hand to get out of the cold water the boy took his hand and walked with Othello clutching his arms around his chest for warmth. Othello took out a cloth from his pack so that the boy could dry himself with. Sitting in a dirt patch field Othello told the boy he would be back in a just a few minutes because he had to get the girl.

Othello looked and looked and finally he found the tree where he hid the girl and there she was crying her little eyes out and when she saw Othello her face lit up as brightly as the stars themselves, or as brightly as the smile that swooped across her face did. She felt cold and sweaty as she jumped into Othello's arms, her body so small and light it was almost as if he was carrying a baby. She couldn't have been more then 7 years old but he could tell she was malnourished and impoverished. He walked slowly back to the place where he left the boy so he could talk with the tiny girl. "I guess you stole because you had no choice huh sweetheart?" the girl nodded in response as she clung onto Othello's neck. "Well dont worry with that older boy ok? I made him not be angry at you anymore so when you see him try not to be too frighten. I promise I wont let any harm come to you". The girls grip just tightened as he mentioned that they will see him again.

The girl mumbled that her name was Mina and that she was a orphan. Othello didn't ask her so much because she still was so frightened but later he will ask if she knew where her parents had gone. As Othello held the girl his fingers still stung from using the jutsu not only twice in training but once more in a real battle, that seemed sort of like he was rushing it but if he was really a ninjutsu master this would only seem normal...at least thats what he was brought up thinking. Just as Othello entered the clearing he could see the boy made a fire fore soon the moon would rise and the sun would sink down into the ocean only to be seen again at first morning light, hours away. Othello looked at the boys face as the fire showed that the boys rage was no longer in his heart but instead it looked as if the boy carried a great weight on his shoulders...that or those were the eyes of pain given to him by another. Pain worse then a lovers quarrel but one that came from a fissure in the family, Othello soon came to realize he was right.

"Whats your name?" Othello spoke as he put the girl down and gave her a toy he had in his bag that was given to him by his mother when he was just a child. The boys name was Tai and as soon as he said his name and not much later he began to rant on about how his monster of a father beat him to near death anytime he disobeyed a order or command. He's been doing so for years without any remorse or mercy. Othello was shocked to hear such things but would not dare show it for fear of Tai getting angry over the thought of another person feeling pity for him. He told him how everyday his father would beat him with blunt shinobi weapons and even threatened him with kunai and other such deadly objects. The last order he gave his son was the worst, it was to kill this little girl for stealing a tiny loaf of bread from his fathers bakery. In the public eye his father was known as a kind and wise man, but every man has two sides of them. only few really delve into the dark side of themselves.

From the way the boys expression was changing he thought he would make Tai change how he felt by bringing up something that was interesting during the battle they had. "You know I copied you didn't I? If it wasn't for you I would have had no idea that this strong jutsu you learned existed". Tai's eyes lit up for a second and Othello took that chance. "Ya mind showing me a few pointers, I'm sorta not getting the gist of how this jutsu works" . Tai nodded and soon enough both of the boys began to do the jutsu, Tai giving Othello pointers here and their so he could pull off the jutsu more successfully. Mina was watching them by the fire as bodem flame after flame was shot out across the lake, illuminating the night sky with bright orange and red. She enjoyed it as much as if they were fireworks just for her to see. Tai smiled when he saw she giggled gleefully and soon enough he was holding Mina on his shoulders as Othello was practicing the jutsu and each time getting it more correct. By tomorrow Othello would have to come face to face to the man who almost made a boy a monster...
