Tales of a Ninja Magician: Of Where We Come From

Quest for True Love

"Well, here I go, ma'am..." Aisha hesitantly declared. The visuals of her body stretched out like a crazy nature's spaghetti as the girl's speed messed up how light flowed around her body, Regalia was not prepared for such outburst of speed and she realized that she was about to pay for underestimating this child. Luckily for her, right before she pulled off her defensive technique by coating her body with her golden sand the little girl stopped halfway and fell to the floor.

"I dropped my sword, I apologize..." she cried out afraid that Regalia or whoever else would flip out in anger and yell at her.

"These swords truly are too big for you..." Regalia smiled, trying her best not to appear shocked or afraid by the incredible speed of the young one. Had she taken the moment to exhale and wipe away the sweat that broke out running on her forehead after witnessing the girl's inhuman speed she'd have given away her own intimidation.

"Nonsense, my brother wields them and I wish to prove that I am just as worthy as he is. I can do this, just give me another chance..." Aisha rubbed her eyes with knuckles as her entire face blushed in shame.

Regalia smiled and swiped her hand to the side ordering her sand to move out of the gourd and form a whole bunch of strands, jets and defensive walls around her. Her enemy was that of speed far surpassing her own, this girl was quite close to moving faster than lightning and she had not yet awakened her Sharingan as far as Regalia saw it.

"Your brother... He said that you're about one half of his skill level, does that mean that he's double the trash you are? That still makes two piles of trash..." the young ninja offended her opponent. It was Regalia's intent to play on her opponent's emotions, to make little Aisha angry so that she stopped thinking about all those people watching and judging her. So that she stopped screwing herself over.

"What? How dare you!?" Aisha screamed out, her body disappeared, completely untraceable by even the few ninja standing in the crowd. Loud thuds and bangs could've been heard as the girl's invisible body bumped into one sand wave after another breaking through them with her mere speed. Loud sounds of steel grinding against sand could've been heard as well – the little one had drawn her blades and meant to cut Regalia down.

The young woman turned to her back where Aisha's last image flashed, the speed of this girl was insane, the natural limit and the fastest that the ninja's body was recorded to go was the speed of light. There were multiple samurai in the Iron Country who were told to have reached that speed. It was not that the ninja's body was incapable of handling more, it was just that the laws of physics themselves placed a barrier on the human body. There have been strange events recorded whenever a swordsman, thirsty for fame, has tried it. This world or any other in this Universe did not sustain any higher speed than that. Strangest things happened whenever someone tried it, people just broke down or flat out evaporated or reality itself imploded and created large cataclysms.

For a moment there Regalia was starting to worry that this girl may not realize that barrier, that perhaps no one in her family knew enough about her abilities to explain it to her. It was not that Aisha's speed approached a place anywhere close to those limits, it was more that Regalia could neither perceive nor move in to counter in time. The body of the young girl was flashing all around her with afterimages and fake out attacks – the young one was shoving her superiority in Regalia's face like most Uchiha were known to do.

"Don't you dare offend my brother!" Aisha's scream emanated through the public as the girl flashed right through her opponent, cutting once for each word and then fading out from everyone's perception again. Old man Aziz turned at Jiou in disbelief.

"Why didn't you tell me my daughter was capable of this? I can't follow her movements!" Aziz shouted out

"That's because you try to follow them, you must use your Sharingan to predict her movements and evade or counterattack before they happen..." Jiou continued to observe the small scuffle with his Sharingan still active.
