"Break it up, the two of you!"

Akira stepped between the two boys who were glaring daggers at each other and bickering. Grabbing the two boys by the collar, she dragged them towards the middle of the training field.

It was another day in Konoha's Ninja Academy. Akira was supervising her students in taijutsu, allowing them to spar with each other. She was busy teaching one pair on the proper way to do an uppercut when she heard yells and some cuss words coming from two of her raucous students. With a murderous glare, she stomped towards the commotion and saw the two boys, Daisuke and Ryoma again, on the ground, rolling, cussing and attempting to break each other's' throats.

Gritting her teeth, she pulled them apart.

"What the fuck is going on?" she growled madly, ignoring the gasps from some of the kids who heard her swear. She looked at the two boys who were still glaring at each other.

"He started it!" Ryoma said, pointing at Daisuke. He sported a bruised cheek.

"I told you no hits on the face," Akira said, turning to Daisuke.

"I will not spar with that loser again," replied Daisuke haughtily.

"What did you just say?!" Ryoma yelled. He lunged at the other boy. Akira swiftly grabbed him by the back of his clothes and pulled him back roughly.

"I will not spar with someone inferior like you," said Daisuke who seemingly was unaffected by Ryoma's glare. "Yes, you are inferior. You have poor stamina, inferior techniques and obviously lacks intelligence. You are crude and loud. How do you expect to be a shinobi? You've nothing but a loud mouth-"

"Enough."

"You always challenge anyone who you see a threat but you don't have the skill to carry on that stupid-"

"I said enough!" Akira thundered, much to the kids' horror. Their sensei was looking extremely scary right now, what with her loud voice and deathly glare. She reached over to Daisuke and roughly grabbed him by the collar and raised him off the ground to meet her eyes. She glowered at her student.

"When I tell you to shut up, you shut up," Akira said menacingly, her voice cold and threatening. "I will pair you with anyone I want and you will spar with him or her. You will obey my rules or else you get kicked out of the Academy. You do what I say or I swear you will regret it. I don't care if your entire family comes after my ass for vengeance." The boy refused to meet her eyes and Akira could feel him cowering from her harsh words. She glared at him and in disgust, dropped him on the ground. She turned to Ryoma.

"You! Come here!"

Ryoma approached his sensei, although by now he was obviously terrified of her. Akira grabbed him by the collar too and lifted him off the ground.

"S-sensei..." he started, eyes wide at the anger in his sensei's eyes. Akira ignored him.

"I don't care who started it but you will follow my rules. You're the dead last in this class, Ryoma and your loud mouth is not helping you get any better!"

"B-but sensei...I just want to be...acknowledged..."

Akira frowned at the kid. "Acknowledgement is earned, not asked. People will acknowledge you if they want to. Andy you have to work hard to earn it and prove your worth. Challenging Daisuke is not one of those ways, understood?!"
