Memories: Bond of Brothers

The wind was calm, with birds chirping a melodic tune at the surrounding trees of what seemed to be a peaceful lake. This was all going to change - as, standing in the middle of the lake were two genin brothers, both with the intent of emerging victor.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!!" was the first word heard as the birds flew away as a huge fireball was expelled from Raiku's mouth, set towards Heiwa in an attempt to set him ablaze, the orb of flames passed through towards the opposite end of the lake, pushing the water beneath on different directions around it.

"You don't waste time, do you, little Raiku." Heiwa mused as the orb connected, burning him... Or so it seems... The burnt Heiwa then turned out to be a substitute log as Heiwa made swift handseals atop a tree. Immediately, he swiftly appears infront of Heiwa where a massive orb of flames is shot at point-blank range, making escape next-to-impossible.

Raiku, with decisively quick thinking, disrupts chakra at the feet, falling into the water and recieving minimum burns in his face which are quickly put out by the water. Raiku then exits a metre away from Heiwa, healing his facial wounds whilst enraged at the fact that Heiwa was able to connect an attack. 'my brother is no idiot after all', Raiku thought to himself.

Raiku then immediately performed a handseal, and after a brief puff of smoke, three doppelgangers appeared beside him, quickly moving around him to surround him at all four cardinal points. The clone from the left moved at high speeds, sliding to deliver a sweep kick at Heiwa.

Heiwa, who has activated his Sharingan with all three tomoe during this time, was able to visually predict his brothers attack, quickly jumping to drop on the clone's stomach and dispelling it, showing a small grin.

The real Raiku smirked, mumuring a word to himself, "Perfect...". Upon Heiwa landing on the clone, another clone, from behind, had moved at fast pace whilst he was in the air, landing a kick from below to push Heiwa up as the clone from the left moved fast below him with a Wind-powered fist which, after being thrusted in the hair, created a small shockwave that pushes Heiwa high up and makes his ability to move minimum. Following the attack, Raiku then appeared above Heiwa, as a kick from above was all that Heiwa could feel besides Raiku shouting, "Lion Barrage!!". This sends Heiwa straight into the water and gives him a major bruise.

Heiwa emerged from the water, exasperated by the attack he had just been given. 'That brat', mumured Heiwa. "Ok, You are annoying me. It is time to get serious." Heiwa moved at high speeds, unable to be traced by the naked eye, jumping up and landing on Raiku's shoulders, then rotating along with him, causing disorientation before hurling him, then bearing a grin about using this special technique known to be his father's signature Taijutsu attack.

Raiku then woke up and getting his focus back after the sudden disorientation, taking a deep breath before spreading chakra around his body, activating his signature fightning style. 'Heiwa has Chakra reserves on par with a Tailed Beast. It will be difficult to beat him, especially with my way of fighting. This is a drag.' Raiku was in deep thought whilst still keeping a concentrated focus on his technique and sights on Heiwa's movement. This technique greatly increased speed, strength, stamina and reflexes, which are already high even at his age. "Ready, Brother?"
