Damn that woman. Damn her. Kakashi, do you REALLY want to know how my training is going?
I went to talk with Anko about summoning since well, I was late last time and missed it. She seemed hungover from the Jounin/Admin Gala thing...is she really our 'teacher'?She wanted me to BEG. An Uchiha do many things, but an Uchiha DOES NOT BEG. Or grovel. Or get on our knees and kiss the feet of others. The day I do either is the day I eat my own shirt.
“Well, SORRY. You’re loss then! Now if you excuse me, I have a date with Mr. Dango and Mr. Sake and I’d hate to be LATE!~~” That Woman said. She just had to rub it in my face. “Perhaps if you are NICE, Neji will teach you.”
Atleast she had the decency to throw the scroll at me and let me sign it in my blood I think she enjoyed me cutting my thumb a bit TOO much, before kicking me out so she could go...do her...thing.
I’d rather learn form Neji than That Woman any day. Unfortunately, seeing how things are, I’m pretty much stuck with That Woman as I do need to learn how to deal with the seal from her and she is the only one available with the knowledge. What am I going to go? Desert and go to Sound? Sorry, I think I’ll pass.
Luckily, Neji is more manageable and patient than That Woman. Seeing how we’re kind of friends think on the same wave length, he easily agreed to doing so. That and we are going to have to work with each other so it benefits him if I am up to par with whatever Anko is teaching us.
Neji explained the process and the hand seals involved rather thoroughly. Its good to have someone as capable as I am around for once. He then proceeded to demonstrate the technique with a loud “Kuchiyose no Jutsu.”
“That’s it?” I blinked. It was a rather puny thing.
Neji shrugged. “Give me a break. I just learned a few days ago. Your turn.”
I bit my thumb, reopening the cut from when I had signed the scroll. With the sharingen, it wasn’t difficult to remember the hand seals since I copied them. I just had to focus on trying to get the correct chakra output. The technique wasn’t that bad except…
I summoned an egg. That was…disappointing. On the bright side, I can summon breakfast.
Neji picked up the egg and examined it. “Well, at least it isn't a hard shelled egg. Meaning, it's not a chicken egg, and by extension, it IS a snake egg. Well, just keep practicing. That's what Anko told me to do. Just aim for, let's see... what'd she say? ‘Larger, and more venomous.’”
This is why I’m glad Neji isn’t Naruto. Naruto would have rubbed the egg in my face right now.
Suddenly, the egg started...well…something was poking at the leathery shell from the inside and a small hole appeared. I looked at Neji. “Did you break it?”
He put it on the ground, equally as confused as I was. “Nope, it just started breaking by itself.”
We watched as it hatched. A small grey snake appeared (a black mamba I believe…I need to check with Anko or the resident poison expert). It was nearly a fourth bigger than Neji’s.
Neji seemed a bit shocked or displeased. I couldn’t really tell. I was trying not to smile, but I couldn’t help it. “You’ve got to be kidding me… Well, Uchiha, looks like your name still stands proudly.”
That’s when it hit me. “Hey, Neji…my ‘snake’ is bigger than your ‘snake,’” I said, complete with hand gestures.
Neji was not amused. “...... Uchiha, one thing is that I'm telling you that you've summoned a snake successfully. It's quite a different thing when you start to rub in the fact that it's rather larger than the first summoning that I had.”
Maybe he is a bit too much like me after all?
“Neji. . .that was a joke.”
He finally got it.

I don’t know about this whole “get yourself immune to poison” bit. Isn’t part of snake handling learning how to NOT to get bit? I think that should be fundamental. Tch. . .whatever. Personally, I think this is just Anko trying to torture us. Might as well “be prepared” incase I get bit, anyways. Though I think this part of the training is impractical and a bit. . .well. . .stupid. I do not look forward to going to the hospital because my snake bit me and having to explain that I LET it happen.
It looks like I am going to have to become acquainted with Mizukami either way (that’s what I named him). Kuroishi, don’t play with the snake. It’s not a good idea to be friends with something that can kill you. -_-;
I think the cat is jealous.
OOC:Keiko- sorry for posting without your input but I REALLY needed to post. If you want me to edit or anything, lemme know.
