Eyes of a Sage VIII: Union of Fate ~ Conclusion

Warning!  Like I said before, this chapter will only be around 500 to 1200 words.

Need to catch up?  If you do, I STRONGLY suggest you take a look at Chapters 1 through 7.  If you don’t, you’ll never get what’s going on. Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7

(Recap: When we last left, Naruto and Co. had just defeated the three ninja, only to learn that Kabuto Yakushi was behind the attack.  Meanwhile, Danzou was debating whether or not to kill himself, while Jugo gets a bad feeling about Reibun.  With Hidan, he and Chishio were on their way to see their son, Koukishi…)

At  Mount Karagi…

Naruto Reverse Summoned Kuza, Fukasaku, and him there.  The mountain was huge, much larger than Mount Myobokuzan.  With Orochimaru’s power, it’s only natural to have a gigantic mountian dedicated to your name…

“Oh my god!  It’s huge!  How will we find Kabuto?” asked Kuza, shocked by the mountains size.

“I’ve already located him.  He’s deep inside the mountain.  He’s also heavily guarded.  Twenty ninja stand in our way.” Naruto said.

“Whoa!  You can see all that with your Sage Mode?!”

“Yes, I can.  And you could too, if you join me at Mount Myobokuzan.”

“Okay.  I’ve made up my mind.  After we destroy Kabuto, I’ll come with you.”

“Great.  Now, let’s go in.” said Fukasaku, hopping up to the opening in the mountain.

With Sasuke and Co…

Sasuke, Suigetsu, Jugo, Reibun, and Danzou walk into a large room with a oval shaped table in the center.  Sitting at the table was Madara and Zetsu.

“Well, we’re all here.  What’s our new mission?” grunted Suigetsu.

“You’re mission is the same as your very first mission as part of Akatsuki.  You must find and capture the Eight-Tailed Ox.” Madara snickered.

“But, the last time we fought Killer Bee, Sasuke almost died… twice!  You can’t expect us to win this time!” shrieked Jugo.  Without Karin, Sasuke would die…

“It’s been twelve years.  You have grown much stronger since then.  I know you can do it.” Madara said.

“Whatever.  There is no way that Killer Bee guy will beat me twice.” Sasuke spoke, half-heartedly.  He wanted to believe that he could beat Killer Bee, but he wasn’t sure.

“Well, you’ve been assigned a mission.  Take it, or die.”

“I choose to accept.”

“Great.  You’re dismissed.”

As they left, Madara started to whisper to Zetsu…

“Do you really think they can beat the Fifth Raikage, Killer Bee?” asked Zetsu.

“Of course not.  But, with Sasuke trying to kill me, it’s perfect.  Having been twelve years since he had the Curse Mark, Jugo won’t be able to save him.  His plan will be foiled.  It’s perfect!”

“And, is Reibun in on the plan.  Or is he going to die with Taka?”

“Reibun’s in on it.  He’ll ‘try’ to help Sasuke, but he gets ‘knocked out’ and Sasuke dies.”

“How evil.  But, what could you expect from the evilest person alive?”

Madara chuckles at Zetsu’s comment.

At Mount Karagi…

“Wow Naruto!  You beat all of them within seconds!  Your training has really worked.  Now let’s get Kabuto.” Fukasaku said, amazed.

With Hidan and Chishio…

“When are we going to get there?!” asked Hidan, annoyed.

“We’re here.” Chishio told him.

As they go into the house, a boy walks up to them.

“Who’s this?”

“Hidan, this is Koukishi.  Koukishi, this is Hidan.  He’s your father.”

______________________________________________________

Will Taka actually die in the fight against Killer Bee?  Will Kabuto die?  What will happen with Hidan, Chishio, and Koukishi?  FInd out in ‘Eyes of a Sage IX: Crossroads’.

Akatsuki Legends: Clash!! Sharingan & Hyoton vs Byakugan!!

Tsukaza performs a hand sign and creates a Water Clone.

Tsukaza:…Sasuke, this clone should suit your battle style. If your right, it’ll help you create the opening you need.

Sasuke nods and draws his Chokuto sword. Tsukaza takes out shuriken within the Ice Mirror. Ao draws two kunai, and places them in both of his hands. Mei channels her chakra without any hand seals. Sasuke and Tsukaza enter a stare down with Ao and Mei.

——————

Tsukaza ends the stare down by quickly throwing the shuriken directly at the Mizukage while Tsukaza’s Water Clone and Sasuke follow-up the attack with their own. Sasuke goes for Ao trying slice after slice with his blade. Ao dodges and blocks with his two kunai. Tsukaza’s Water Clone dodges a shot of acid from the Mizukage. She performs a hand sign and uses Acid Style: Acidic Fog. The Mizukage blows out a fog of acid mist and the Tsukaza Water Clone retreats into the lake. Sasuke see’s Tsukaza’s next attack with Sharingan and reacts immediately giving up on Ao. Ao tries to pursue Sasuke but Tsukaza in the Ice Mirror throws a kunai bomb at Ao to stop him. Tsukaza’s Water Clone pops out of the water behind Mizukage and goes for a stab with an Ice Blade. Sasuke runs forward, straight through the acid mist, going for a stab at Mizukage also.

Mei thinking: Fool! You may have that gas mask but it won’t protect your skin from burning right off!

Ao throws a kunai at Tsukaza’s Water Clone to intercept it’s stab attack on Mizukage while he blocks an attack of senbon from Tsukaza’s Ice Mirror. The kunai hits and the water clone disappears in a spray of water. Mizukage reacts quickly by side-stepping Sasuke’s blade and stabs him in the stomach with a kunai. Sasuke grins as a puff of smoke passes over him and reveals Tsukaza. Tsukaza disperses in water over Mizukage.

Ao: Transformation? Water Clone?! Oh no, Lady Mizu-

Just then the Mizukage is impaled by a sharp blade of lightning stemming from underwater. At the bottom of the lake Sasuke grins behind his gas-mask still using the Chidori Blade to keep Mizukage pinned down.

Tsukaza thinking: Sasuke was right! She’s weak in Taijutsu and uses the bodyguard to fulfill that role. The bodyguard knew that Mizukage could handle an oncoming threat; so he eliminated my first Water Clone while she handled the second, lowering her guard for Sasuke to attack long-range without endangering himself. With tactic like this me and Sasuke are invincible!

Mei coughs up blood struggling to liquidate into acid. Sasuke continues send electrical currents throughout the Mizukage.

Sasuke thinking: This your chance Tsukaza, finish him off!

Tsukaza steps out of his Ice Mirror and de-activates it. He creates two Water Clones as Ao takes a battle ready position with two kunai in his hands and one in his mouth. Ao rushes towards Tsukaza. Tsukaza performs Water Style: Shuriken Vortex. Ao performs Shadow Shuriken. The opposing Shuriken forces clash as a spray of metal and water blur Ao and Tsukaza’s view of each other. Ao activates Byakugan and immediately jumps high over the shuriken clash. Tsukaza’s Water Clones leap out the water from where Ao jumped. One of them goes around the shuriken clash and the other goes over it following Ao. Without looking back, Ao throws a kunai behind him, which impales the first Water Clone, and throws his second kunai to his right, beside the shuriken forces. The kunai impaled the second Water Clone. Tsukaza is left un-guarded and Ao uses the last kunai to slice Tsukaza’s head clean off. Tsukaza’s body falls into the water as his head sinks lower in to the lake. Ao recovers himself and notices another chakra signature at the water’s surface with his Byakugan. He looks down to find a pair of Sharingan beneath the water’s surface.

Sasuke thinking: I have you, now die!!

Sasuke stares at Ao trying carry out a true Tsukuyomi.

Sasuke thinking: My genjutsu is weak, this Tsukuyomi won’t hold him much longer. I’m low on chakra. I need to finish what Tsukaza started!

Sasuke releases his Chidori blade but continues the Tsukuyomi on Ao. Ao struggles to maintain a collected consciousness. Sasuke gives him the image of raining of spikes impaling him and Mei over and over again.

Ao: Its…weak! I can…break free, with my Byakugan…!

Ao’s eye begins to bleed behind his eye-patch. He grits his teeth and chomps down on his lip.

Ao: Chakra Release: Wave Devastation!!

Ao breaks free of the Tsukuyomi as he points his palm to the depth below. A condensed wave of chakra blasts through the water and Sasuke activates Susano’o. The Susano’o holds the force of the blow with its shield and sends it back at Ao. Ao dodges as Sasuke re-surfaces Susano’o still activated.

Sasuke thinking: Damn it, he bit his lip to momentarily suspend the effect of my Tsukuyomi and used that huge chakra burst to disrupt his chakra even further to cancel out the Tsukuyomi completely. This guy is good, with a Byakugan like that he’ll be a big problem. I’ve got to take care him before the Susano’o sucks me dry.

Sasuke lights his Susano’o arrow afire with Amaterasu and begins a dead-on chakra vs Amaterasu  Arrow battle with Ao. Waves of Amaterasu arrows whiz past Ao. He’s barely able to dodge the arrows and even cuts off his jacket that caught fire from the Amaterasu. Sasuke blocks each chakra wave with Susano’o. Sasuke takes his last arrow at Ao and Ao counters with-

Ao: Supreme Chakra Devastation!!!

The attacks clash and create a blast that knocks back Ao and blows away Susano’o Final Form. Sasuke’s Susano’o reverts to a rib-cage and Ao’s Byakugan stops bleeding. Sasuke’s Mangekyou Sharingan reverts back to normal. The veins around Ao’s Byakugan regress. Ao and Sasuke begin a stare-down as they get ready to make their last strike.

Sasuke thinking: He was stronger than I thought. He was able to sustain a battle with Susano’o and Amaterasu. Plus that huge chakra burst. I need to finish him now!

Ao thinking: Those jutsu…and those flames! I almost died! But his Chakra Network was straining to pump chakra outside and inside the body. He’s weakened, I have to end this!

Sasuke draws his blade and Ao draws a kunai. Sasuke struggles to activate Sharingan and Ao uses Byakugan. They both rush at each other. They clash head on as Ao stabs Sasuke in his lower chest and Sasuke is able to slice Ao in the abdomen. Ao jumps to avoid some Water Shuriken and Sasuke dives to avoid an Acid Bullet. Sasuke then jumps back to a familiar figure…Tsukaza. Ao leaps over to the side of his Lord. Mizukage.

Tsukaza: Sasuke, your injured… Did you let your guard down?

Sasuke: Hmph, shut up, and your not dead. If you weren’t too busy playing dead I wouldn’t be injured.

Tsukaza: Hmph, not that easily. Anyway, we’re weakened and you need to get healed. Lets go-

Mizukage: Not so fast.

Mizukage: You really are gullible. You try to kill me and walk away. Too bad you failed.

Multiple Mist ninja creep back around the base and circle around Tsukaza and Sasuke. They leap, jump, and dash at them.

Tsukaza thinking: I didn’t wanna use this but-

Tsukaza performs rapid hand signs as a dome of water close over Sasuke and Tsukaza. The water freezes and a single Ice Mirror forms in its center. Tsukaza staggers and takes Sasuke into the Ice Mirror. They disappear and the Mirror shatters followed by the dome.

Ao:…Lady Mizukage, forgive me, I-

Mizukage: Don’t worry Ao. They were Akatsuki, they made sure to separate us. Stop blaming yourself, I’m fine.

-Back in the marsh-

Tsukaza’s head breaks fresh air and out of swamp. He swims towards Sasuke’s unconscious body floating in the water. He lifts up Sasuke’s body and lays it on a nearby bank. Tsukaza sits down.

Tsukaza sighs: Close…!

Mission Accomplished!! But what awaits the fate of the Akatsuki’s Leader, Sasuke?!

Eyes of a Sage VII: Union of Fate ~ Part 2

Warning!  This chapter and the next will only be around 500 to 1000 words.  In this chapter, Hidan’s sons name is revealed.  I just wanted you to know that I was given permission to use his name.  Also, I bumped up the date because I have nothing to do.  And I can’t really write a new chapter until this one is posted.

Need to catch up? Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6

(Recap: Within the Room of Fate, while Jugo, Reibun, Suigetsu, and Danzou were accepted, Sai and Karin weren’t.  With Naruto, he revealed he defected from the Leaf.  Fukasaku then begins to train Naruto again, but before they can do any real training, a Potential Sage named Kuza has appeared.  With Hidan, he finds out from Chishio that he has a son…)

In the Room of Fate…

“Well, you four have been selected to be in the Akatsuki.  But, I must warn you, this will be hard.  We have one other member that has already been through the Room.  Now, follow me and you will get your Akatsuki Cloaks.” Sasuke said as he waved for them.

As they walked through the corridors, Suigetsu became nervous.  He saw what had happened to Sai and Karin, and he didn’t want that to be him…

Jugo stared at Reibun, puzzled.  He couldn’t decide whether to trust him, or be careful and not put his life in Reibun’s hands.

Danzou silently weeped.  He never wanted to kill Sai, but if he didn’t, Sasuke would kill him and Sai.  He felt so selfish.  He was always saying that Sai was just as important as him.  But, if he killed him, he was just proving he wasn’t.  His conscience was telling him that it was wrong and he should have let Sasuke kill them both, while his selfish side told him if he ever wanted to live, he must kill.

With Naruto and Co…

“Wind Style: Palm Blast!” screamed Naruto, slamming his palms together, creating a giant wave of Wind Chakra.  The wave blew all three ninjas back forty meters.  Before they could make a move, Kuza used Lightning Style: High Voltage to electrocute them, while Gameken used Water Style: Water Bullet, creating a massive explosion of electrified water-covered ninja.  As the smoke cleared, the largest of the three stood up and pulled up his sleeve, to reveal… a snake summoning symbol!

“Ha ha!  Now you’ll pay for killing my fellow ninja!  Controlled Summoning: Manda!”  As he yelled this, he bit his thumb and smeared the blood on his arm, ending at the head of the snake tattoo.  Then, Manda appeared, but he didn’t look like himself, he looked dead…

Naruto began to run towards the giant snake, but before he got more than 10 feet from where he started, Fukasaku stopped him.

“Don’t get closer.  It’s a corpse.  It has a corrosive a Chakra around it.  If you get to close to the Chakra, it’ll kill you.  You need to use a long range attack.  I know having an affinity for wind makes you a short to mid range fighter.  But, you have a few long range attacks.”

“Yeah, I’ll use Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!  It’s perfect.  Kuza, I need you to distract him though.  If he watches me as I do it, he’ll easily dodge it, but if he’s distracted by you, he won’t pay attention to me, giving me a better chance of killing him.  Can you do that for me?” Naruto said, making his plan as he goes.

“Yes, but what do you want me to do exactly?”

“Well…”

With Hidan and Chishio…

“So, let me get this straight.  I am the father of a 14 year old boy named Koukishi?  He’s also immortal, like me?  And he hates fighting?” asked Hidan.  He didn’t want a son.  Especially one that hates fighting.

“Yes.  But, if he knew what his father was, maybe he’d like to fight, like me and you.” said Chishio, emphasizing the ‘what’.

“I guess.  But, if I have to live with him, he has to kill someone.  You got it?”

“Yes, I do.” she said concerningly.

Back at the Naruto and Co v. Manda…

“Thank you, Lord Kuza, you really helped us out.” said Fukasaku.  He wanted Kuza to come back to Mount Myobokuzan so he could train to be a True Sage.

“You’re welcome, Lord Fukasaku.  But, I should be thanking you.  It was my fight and I would have died if it hadn’t been been for you and Naruto.”

“Don’t forget about me!” said Gamaken, feeling left out.

“Oh, sorry Gamaken, I forgot to send you back to Mount Myobokuzan.  Here you go.”  With a puff of smoke, Gamaken was gone.  ”Uh, Kuza.” Naruto continued, “We have a question to ask.  Would you please come to the Mountain and train to be a Sage?”

“Uh, what’s a Sage?” Kuza asked, puzzled.

“A Sage is someone that it one with nature.  They gather natural energy and turn it into Sage Chakra, which let’s you go into Sage Mode, a transformation that increases your power, speed, etc.” Fukasaku explained.

“Uh, sure.  But, I need to find out who ordered these people to attack me.”

“I know who.  It was Kabuto Yakushi.  He’s a medical-nin who can revive dead souls.”

“Then we must find him!” Kuza urged.

“Yes, so let’s go, I’ve already located him.  He’s somewhere on a mountain called Mount Karagi.”

___________________________________________________________

Is Kabuto really behind this attack?  Will Koukishi kill someone, or will Hidan bail on him?  Will Danzou take his own life, or will he be selfish and live for the sake of living?  Find out in, ‘Eyes of a Sage VIII: Union of Fate ~ Part 3′  The conclusion of Union of Fate!

SvS Part 6: Sweet Dreams are made of…

“Hey, it’s Guruku here, your funny, sarcastic, and devilishly handsome host. Last time, we said goodbye to Pein as he abandoned his sick teammate in the Wilderness Challenge. Uchiha will also not be returning, as he is still recovering from his accident. I am still looking for a way out of my lawsuit, but anyway. Today’s challenge will be the second of four or five copies off of TDI…Not that I need to mention it, but it looks like the producer put that in my script…jerk. Anyway, let’s get started on, Shannaro v. Shannaro!”

Down by the ocean…

Kay sits, gazing out over the horizon. “Hmph, I can’t believe Pein did that. And now Uchiha’s gone.”

Ssj sits against the cliff, sketching a picture of the ocean on his sketchpad. “This is so serene…”

Kisu lays sprawled out, mouth full of sand, asleep.

Guruku springs down from the cliff with his megaphone. As he’s about to speak, DH appears. “NO megaphone! This scene is too nice for all that. Just talk.”

Guruku looks at her angrily. He then screams into his bullhorn, “TODAY”S CHALLENGE IS A SLEEP-AWAY CHALLENGE! It’s a challenge of who can stay awake longest. Like last time, last person awake wins their team invincibility. Meet me at the stone grounds in five minutes to begin.”

Mart walks over to Kisu and picks him up by the shirt. Sand flows from him mouth. Kisu snaps awake. “Hmrrm?”

He then spits. “Ack! Stupid sand crabs. Can’t a guy get a nice sand nap without being picked up by the shirt or being eaten by crabs, HUH?!”

At the stone grounds…

Everyone sits on boulders, random people scattered about.

“So, this is like another last man standing thing? Why can’t there be a freaking Team challenge for once, huh?” Cookie asks loudly.

“Just deal with it. The teams won’t be here for long. They’re only for publicity purposes. Anyway, the timer is about to start, and the last person awake wins. Let’s begin!”

As the sun starts moving throughout the sky, everyone is still wide awake. But by dusk, some of them had started to droop.

Kisu snickers and reaches into his bag, pulling out a portable CD player. He sets a lullaby CD in it and presses play. The gentle music soothes the contestants and the melodic tune plays over the area.

Knight feels his eyes drooping, but snaps himself up when he pinches himself. Kay and WS sit near each other, one keeping the other awake. “Heh, this is getting kind of difficult. TURN THAT STUFF OFF KISU!” But as she turned around, she saw that the music causes him to fall asleep. “Wow.”

NTG snuggles catman as she listens to the sounds of the ocean, being on the rock nearest the cliff.

“So…niiheda.” She falls asleep and rolls off the rock.

Bob stands atop his rock, hand on his hips staring in one direction. Flash sits by his feet and wonders, “How is he staying like that, looking out over all of us? This is…”

He pokes Bob and he falls over. “What the?”

J walks over and pokes his eyes. “Yeah, paint.” He concludes as some smears onto his fingers.

As midnight approached, Knight, J and Mart had fallen victim to drowsiness. Ssj smirks. “Looks like your team only has two people left, Cookie.”

“Bah, it doesn’t matter. DH and I will triumph over your team, for sure.” He says reassuringly.

“Okay, good luck then.”

The ticking over the timer going up and up causes Suna to follow the beat, raising his sleepiness. “Tickity tockity! TICKITY!”

He raises his hands, pretending to be a real clock. “Tick tock! Tick Tock!!!!”

“He’s lost it man! He’s lost it!” Kay shrieked.

WS moved her over to a rock on the opposite side of him. “Meh, he’ll fall asleep shortly. Don’t worry. Besides, we’ll win it for OUR team!”

As Suna falls asleep, he begins muttering something. WS hears it and he screams, “Suna filled Bob’s underwear drawer with spicy tuna last year?!”

The place went silent. Bob’s eye popped open. “He did WHAT!?” Bob strangles Suna, causing him to wake up.

“What, erk, did, erk, I do!?”

“GHAAAH! You filled my underwear drawer with spicy tuna! ARGHWA!”

Suna falls limp. Gaining his breath, he glared at WS. “You’ll pay for that…”

Suna then falls asleep again, along with Bob.

DH picks up the portable cd player Kisu had and throws it to the ground. “Now, that’ll stop it.”

Suddenly, it starts playing again. “What the?!” She then falls over, asleep.

6:00 AM rolled around and everyone who had fallen asleep woke up and were ushered to the mess hall by Guruku, to wait until the challenge was over. Flash, Kay and Ssj had all fallen asleep at 2:00 am and were ushered as well.

WS and Cookie were the last two remaining. They were having a stare down, watching each other fall closer and closer to sleep.

“Hey…WS, I have something that’ll make you go to sleep…”

“Oh yeah…what’s that…?”

“Gurgle…Um…this…” Cookie slaps him and WS falls on the ground. He had no energy to pick himself up and just slept there. Cookie wanted to scream and yip, but he had no energy and fell asleep too.

“Team Chronicles wins!”

In the mess hall…

“I can’t believe we lost…” Ssj murmurs.

“I’m gonna get him back…” Suna murmurs.

“Guys, let’s just be happy we tried to work together.” Kay said.

“No we didn’t. It was kind of one man left standing! No-one except you and your boyfriend did jack-crap!” Kisu barked.

At the ceremony…

“You four are the last ones, Ssj, Suna, WS and Flash. The next award goes to…Ssj. And next, to Flash.”

The duo get their awards and walk away.

“Now, down to Suna and WS.”

Kay crosses her fingers from behind a rock.

“The final award goes to…Suna.”

WS opens his mouth. “What!?”

He walks towards Guruku. Kay rushes out from the rock and hugs WS. “Bye…Whitey…See you later I guess…” She then runs away bawling. Guruku sucks him in.

“Well, see you next time folks, for Shannaro v. Shannaro Part 7!”

By the way, a note from the writer, Naru, I just wanted to tell you shannaro inhabitants, that the New Era series will continue after the SvS, so do not expect anything from it for some time. This may change, but just go on that. Thank you.

Akatsuki Legends: A Battle of Blades, Wits, and Kekkei Genkai!!

-Fog covers the base of a steep mountain-

Suigetsu sits atop his Beheader sword using the hilt as the seat. He remains alert looking for his target through the fog. Suigetsu hears faint running footsteps behind him. Suigetsu’s head turns as Killer Bee manages to cut his head off just as he notices him. Killer Bee sheathes his blade.

Killer Bee thinking: Now for that oth-

Aisura appears behind Killer Bee going for a stab at his back. Suigetsu shows up in front of Killer Bee, setting up a Beheader swing to Killer Bee. Killer Bee manages to draw one of his swords to stop Suigetsu’s attack and sidestep Aisura’s stab at the same time. He acts quick and grabs a hold on Aisura’s deep blue sword before Aisura has a chance to jump away. Killer Bee shoves Aisura’s blade into Suigetsu. Suigetsu recoils with his sword and falls on the ground hard. Aisura kicks Killer Bee to escape the grip on his sword. It succeeds and Killer Bee chases and clashes with Aisura. Aisura sheathes his sword and sidesteps Killer Bee’s oncoming stab. He performs the Ox hand-sign and unsheathes his sword. Its embodied by electricity and Aisura does slice after slice to Killer Bee. Streaks of lightning flicker and run after Aisura’s every slice. Killer Bee barely manages to dodge each and draw the remaining five blades on his back at the same time. Killer Bee starts attacking at Aisura using his Eight Blade Hook style but Aisura effortlessly dodges and blocks them. Aisura jumps back and performs Mist Style: Fog Cemetery then Water Style: Massive Lake Emergence. Blasts of water, steam and fog poured out of the ground. The water forms a large lake on the base of the mountain and the fog settled encompassing the lake. Aisura stands ready on the wide lake within the mist. He keeps still then stabs his sword into water and it sinks.

Aisura: I think it’s about time…

Aisura then runs straight forward through the mist performing waves of hand seals after another. Water Dragons emerge and fly through the mist. On Killer Bees side he barely dodges the Dragons and uses his Lightning natured chakra to evaporate one with his bare hand.

Killer Bee thinking: Strong Water and Lightning natured chakra. Precise and powerful attacks. He leaves no opening for both close and long-range combat. Even my Eight Styled Hook had no effect. At this rate…

Aisura: Finish him… Suigetsu! I’m sick of waiting.

Suigetsu jumps out of the water behind Killer Bee, with his right hand he tries a vertical slice, using the Beheador sword, at Killer Bee. Killer Bee senses Aisura rushing at him from behind. Killer Bee sidesteps to dodge Suigetsu and uses his back hand to hit away Aisura. Aisura ducks last second and pushes Killer Bee forward as Suigetsu uses his left hand, with Aisuras sword, to stab Killer Bee. Killer Bee takes the attack to the shoulder. Suigetsu tries to drive the sword further down but red chakra bubbles cover Killer Bee. He pushes the blade out of him and his wound heals.

Suigetsu: Aww man…Not this crap again!

Aisura: Don’t worry Suigetsu, I’ve planned this out as well.

Killer Bee drops to the water. He starts coughing and tries to get back up but suddenly feels a deep swelling in his lungs and loses control of his body. He falls back on the water.

Suigetsu: What the-?

Aisura: I slowed down his respiratory system. I also cut off his nerves. If your gonna ask how, I decomposed the Oxygen molecules within the mist using the friction of my Lightning energy released from my every action. When I pushed him, I sent my Ligtning chakra through his nervous system and chakra network. Not only is he out of sync, the chakra flow between him and Hachibi is being interrupted by my flow of Lightning chakra.

Suigetsu looks at Aisura’s katana and gives it back.

Suigetsu: A water enhanced sword?

Aisura: Of course. Its infused with my water natured chakra so my lightning style can still keep running through it.

Suigetsu: So the water continues to conduct the lightning and you don’t have to run your chakra in it constantly. If thats true, why hasn’t it weakened me?

Aisura: You’ve kept a solid form since I dropped the sword to you. Besides the effects are only naturally active if the sword responds to my chakra nature. Anyway Sasuke gave us orders. Lets move!

Suigetsu nods and starts to run back down the base of the mountain. Aisura takes a last look at Killer Bee before he follows his teammate.

-Scene switches back to Sasuke and Tsukaza studying a base deep in the Mist Village-

Sasuke and Tsukaza study a base in the center of lake riddled with mist, guardsmen, and semi-obvious traps, behind a large tree. Sasuke taps Tsukaza’s sholder and Tsukaza quickly runs and jumps over the lake and on to the circular walkway of the base. He evades the guardsmen view and incapacitates each of them with only his hands. Tsukaza gives Sasuke a signal and Sasuke jumps over the lake and to Tsukaza’s side. Sasuke studies the circular walkway and the door Tsukaza placed an explosive note on. They lean against the wall beside the door. The note explodes and Sasuke drops a smoke bomb into the downwards hallway. Sasuke then rushes in and knocks out the guardsmen with the hilt of his sword. Tsukaza performs a few one-handed hand signs and touches the wall before Sasuke cuts open the door at the end of the hallway with his Chidori Current. Acid immediately spurts out at Sasuke. Sasuke jumps back out of the hallway on to the lake, only to realize that Mist ninja await him there. They stay silent despite the fact Sasuke notices them. He looks back towards the hallway.

Sasuke yells: Tsukaza! Run!!

As if in response, Tsukaza backflips out of the hallway performing rapid hand signs and executes Phoenix Flower Jutsu into the hallway. Before Tsukaza lands on the lake, two Mist ninja try a stab at Tsukaza’s back. Right as the attack is about to land an Ice Mirror blocks it. Tsukaza lands on the water and uses his momentum to jump in to the Ice Mirror. As his back is about to reach the Mirror, multiple shuriken impale him. At that moment his body disperses into water.

Sasuke thinking: Impressive, to be able to use a mixed sequence of hand signs for a Wind-enhanced Fire Style Jutsu, followed by an Ice Style, all in the midst of using a Water Clone. Smart thinking like that and perfect timing remind me of Kakashi’s style of battle.

Sasuke jumps into the lake and bursts out holding a Mist ninja by the neck. He throws the ninja into another. Sasuke activates Sharingan only to find two red lips about to touch his cheeks and a kunai under his neck. The Mizukage stands behind Sasuke holding his arm with one hand and holding a kunai to his neck with her other hand.

Mizukage: You’re done for…Uchiha.

Sasuke grins as the Mizukage feels a chill under her own neck. The Mizukage feels a thin, cold blade pressed against her neck. Tsukaza holds a blade made of solid ice to the Mizukage’s neck while half of his body is in the Ice Mirror.

Tsukaza: No you are!

He slices the Mizukage’s head off. Tsukaza retreats into the Ice Mirror as Sasuke jumps away just in time before her acid body splatters on the surroundings. The other Mist ninja back away into the forest and disappear. Sasuke takes a gas mask off one of the knocked out ninja and puts it on.

Sasuke: Tsukaza! Remain inside the Ice Mirror and don’t leave it. She spread out vaporized acid into the air.

Tsukaza nods. Sasuke throws a volley of electrical shuriken through a set of stacked crates on the walkway. Mei jumps out and throws a few senbon at Sasuke. Tsukaza counters Mei’s senbon with his own and throws a set at Sasuke. Sasuke rolls to the side to dodge the senbon and Ao’s slice from behind at the same time. Ao knocks away the senbon intentionally aimed for him and leaps to the Mizukage’s side. Sasuke jumps to Tsukaza’s Ice Mirror.

Sasuke: Tsukaza, this won’t be easy. Are you ready?

Tsukaza: Yeah… Lets go!!

The fight is on!! Will Sasuke and Tsukaza prevail over the Mizukage, Mei, and her best bodyguard, Ao?!

New Era: Densetsu

Chapter 2

Sacred Scar

The Akatsuki stand in a large circle.

“Hmph, should we declare it or not?”

“Are you insane? It’s not even close to time. I don’t want to do a Madara and see to this too soon. Don’t be hasty!”

“Hmhm, fine. I just want to get this over with.”

“Oh, Jinrai. What shall we do with you. For now, I want to see that two more are taken. By that time, we should have enough potential to finally take the stage and introduce our reign. Let’s see to it, okay? Hmhmhm.”

“Right. Where can we hit next?”

“Hm, Amaterasu Peak…”

“What? That place…”

“Is on the other side of the land? Yes, farther past the Land of Tea, hidden right in the middle of the tiniest country known as the Land of Sediment. Don’t worry, it won’t be difficult.”

“Hm? Yeah, right. I beg to differ. It’s the smallest land, but no-one can live there because of the treacherous conditions of the terrain. And you say it won’t be difficult?!”

“Why argue? When you know I can take you down in an instant?” Orochimaru sharply replied.

“Hmph, whatever.”

“Just go and leave us alone…”

Two holograms disappeared as the rest were left.

“Orochimaru, do you expect them to return?”

“I’m not sure…And I expect that the seal will act up soon, now that I’m up to full power again…yes.”

In the Leaf Village…

Sasuke sits on the bridge leading towards the top of stone faces.

He realizes his curse mark suddenly grow a bit. “What the…? Why is it?” He then gulps.

“Orochimaru is regaining power already…”

He summons a hawk and hops atop it.

“Suigetsu, Karin, report.” He talks to the twosome over a microphone on his neck.

Suigetsu and Karin appear on the bridge. “Are we leaving again, Sasuke-kun?” Karin asks.

“Yeah. Let’s go.”

Karin and Suigetsu join him and they fly off towards the North.

An hour or so later in a weapon shop…

“Hey, Sauno, have you found anything yet?” Uzuna called to her.

“Yeah…I have my eyes set on this…” She stared at a long kunai-shaped sword.

“This would be perfect for me. It even comes with a strap to have it on my back as well! Have you?”

Uzuna grabs a sword off a wall. “Hm, I would get this…But I’m pretty attached to my Shinsei.” He pats the handle of his sheathed sword.

Sauno graps the kunai-sword from the wall. “Hm! Not too expensive. I am getting this!”

Iruka walks in at that moment. “Ah, Sauno and Uzuna…Where’s Hizuka?”

“Oh, he said he’d be back in a bit. What brings you here?”

“Just checking to see what you guys are getting. Oh, and Naruto wants to see you both when you get what you came for.”

Iruka then smiles and walks out of the store.

Sauno purchases her weapon and immediately straps it onto her back. “Cool, lightweight, too. Uzuna, I’m heading to the Training Field.”

Uzuna nods and sets the sword back on the wall. “I’m gonna stock on shuriken and I’ll meet you there.”

Sauno dashes out of the store and towards the field.

At the Training Field…

Uzuna shows up minutes after Sauno does and Naruto stands in front of them. Hizuka appears before he starts to speak.

“I wanted to teach you one last thing. I know you went for new weapons today. Sauno, let me see your blade.”

Sauno unstraps the large, lightweight blade from her back and hands it to Naruto.

He weighs it himself and tries to pinpoint exactly how sharp it is. “Okay, perfect. Here.” He gives it back to her. “Hold it by the handle and focus your Fire chakra into your entire hand.”

Sauno forms a hand sign and closes her eyes. “Okay, it’s all focused into one point.”

“Now, let the chakra loose through your hands and stream it through the sharp point of the blade.”

After trying twice, she fails. “Agh, I can’t do it for some reason.”

“Hizuka, can you get Azuma for me?”

Hizuka nods and disappears.

After a few minutes, Hizuka returns with Azuma.

“Naruto-sama, what is it?” Azuma greets.

“Can you show how you channel your wind chakra into your blades? Similar to how Shikamaru does.”

Azuma nods and takes out his blade. Holding them out, he focuses his chakra onto the knives.

“Now, Sauno, try doing that.”

Sauno attempts to do this once more and finally sparks her fire on the blade of the knife. “Yes, did it!”

“Great, now, Uzuna, do the same.” Uzuna draws his sword and tries the same, except with wind chakra.

Somewhere on a rugged path leading towards a large, high-peaked mountain in a rural area…

“This is taking so long!” One of the twosome complains.

“Just bare with it. We’re almost to the stupid mountain. We’ll get up there, and leave. Deal with it!” The other bellows.

“Easy for you to say.”

“Yeah, and it should be easy for you to handle, so shut up!” He barks.

“Fine, testy.”

“Seriously, I can destroy you right now!”

“Hmph, whatever. I’ll make sure we both go to the grave with my jutsu.”

After their training was over, Uzuna asked his father a question.

“Hey, did you ever have another battle with Sasuke-sama?”

Naruto mulled the question for a second.

“Yes, actually. After the Fifth Great Ninja War, we did have another battle. It wasn’t to the death. It was just a battle of skill.”

“Who won?”

“It was another tie. But we vowed to have another in a few years…”

“I see…”

In the Hokage Mansion…

Shikamaru sits, sifting through reports from two and a half years ago.

“Let’s see…Aka Unmei is killed from sword slashes. No fingerprints were left behind. Nothing. Hm. Sasuke said Kuchia had the Mangekyo when he fought him. And Aka was one of his closest friends, according to Sauno and Sasuke both. They must have a connection. But I doubt Kuchia would have assassinated Aka…There’s no way he would have. But…There can’t be full doubt of that.”

Shikamaru puts the documents away and fills out a mission request.

He gets Yanagi Shiranui to call in Team 3.

“Koggie, Crino, Neten. You three are to head to Amaterasu Peak. I want you to check out the rural area. It’s just a small recon mission. Gather any samples of the area. It’s one of the most under inspected locations in the land, but it’s easy to find. Be careful. It’s under-inspected, but it is dangerous.”

The team disappeared from his office.

Sauno destroys a boulder with her flaming blade. “Wicked.”

Uzuna slashes at another boulder, and it slices in half sharply.

“You three’d better get back t your sensei. See you later.”

Team 4 then leaves the Training Field.

As Team Four appears at the Leaf Gate, Team 3 confronts them.

“Hey, where you guys headed?” Hizuka asked.

“We’ve been put on a mission to the Land of Sediment, to recon at Amaterasu Peak.” Koggie answered.

“Wait, Land of Sediment? Isn’t that place really dangerous?” Uzuna asked tentatively.

“Yeah, but we’ll be fine. We just haven’t seen sensei for awhile though…”

“I’m here.” Ino appears at their side.

“Okay, you three ready to pull out?”

“Yep, all set Ino-sensei.” Crino replied.

“Then let’s head off. See you guys later.”

Team 3 hops off from the village.

I know it was a bit short, but there you go! This chapter took soooo much editing. I didn’t know exactly how it was going to form, so I had to make so many changes.

Akatsuki Generation’s: Life

Hello Ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Akatsuki Generations Part 2! Hopefully the final 5 parts will give a satisfying end to my first series. This is Part Two of Akatsuki Generations chapter 1: Life!

In a small village, just outside of the Village hidden in the clouds…

“Come, my son, its time for a story!” A ninja wearing the Cloud headband sits in a chair.

“Dad, i want to hear about the red clouds again!” A young boy smiles at his father.

“Fine, It all started 400 years ago when the world was a very different place…”

“Sesutu! The council has asked to see you” A young man pushes the door open.

“I’m sure they can wait while i tell my son the story of the red cloud!” Sesutu gets up.

“Now! They are returning through the darkness, It will bring the End of Peace and War will surface!” The young man falls to the floor.

“Son, go to bed Now!” Sesutu begins to form handsigns.

“I’m sorry son but its better this way!” Suddenly Sesutu erupts and the village is destroyed!

In the forest of death, during the third ninja war…

“They are coming, sir, should we ambush?” A young kohona ninja looks at a jonin.

“Wait, let them pass, there harmless. If they do attack we’re counter!” The Jonin turns around to reveal himself as Minto Namikaze.

“Haa 4th Hokage!” A mysterious man walks out.

“4th?? The current Hokage isn’t with us, and its the Third!” The young ninja begins to get angry.

“Ha, it seems i’ve come back to far! Oh well, i’ll take a sample now!” The man takes off his hood to reveal a mask, Madara Uchiha’s mask!

“Sample?” The young ninja looks at Madara confused.

“(Thinking) It’s him! Go Samiut, regroup with Kakashi and his team!” Minto takes out his special Kunai and begins to prepare.

“You don’t think that will work on me do you!?” Madara teleports behind Minto and cuts him, taking a bit of his blood as he does.

“Minto, you will do great stuff, but beware your future. I’ll be back!” Madara leaves in a Swirling pool of lightning.

100 years ago…

“Goodbye Madara!” Hashirama leaves.

“Fool, i won’t die! I am invincible! Izanagi!” Madara’s injures heal but his left eye closes!” Madara stands.

Madara leaves as lightning strikes in the sky.

Back in the Iron Village…

“We have to go! Now is my only chance!” Naruto stands as Kakashi looks on.

“Go where Naruto! Only chance at what!” Yamato grabs Naruto’s arm.

“Right now just outside of the town, Danzo is fighting Sasuke, after this battle Sasuke will learn a very powerful technique that alone can save a man from death twice!” Naruto pushes Yamato away.

“How do you know this!?”Kakashi stops Yamato from falling.

“I…I don’t know! I… Cann just see itt…Ok! It’s gonna help him and Madara win and take over the world! Your gonna use it as well Kakashi, except because your not a Uchiha, your sharingan will turn white!” Naruto sprints away.

“Yamato, We’re altering the time line of history here. You need to take Sakura to Kohona, learn about what just happened. I’ll follow Naruto and learn more about this technique!” Kakashi begins to leave.

“Historryy?! I mean yes Kakashi Sensei!” Yamato picks up Sakura.

Yamato leaves towards Konoha as Kakashi grabs a kunai…

Outside of Iron Village…

“It’s over you little brat!” Danzo begins to form some handsigns.

“Wind Element: Sharp Tirbine!” Danzo launches a steam of air at Susanoo’s weak spot.

“Arghh!” Susanoo disappears as Sasuke falls to his knees.

“Its over!” Danzo takes the bandages of his right eye.

“No it isn’t!” Sasuke sends a chidori shright into Danzo’s arm!

“Now your mortal! Sasuke begins to charge Chidori again but Danzo begins to bend time itself!

“I still have one eye! I will survive!” Danzo heals his arm and lets Sasuke hit him with the Chidori.

“I still got….Ahhhh!” Sasuke collapses as Madara jumps down.

“This is where it ends! Karin, prove your worth and take Sasuke back to the hideout!” Madara holds his left eye.

“Wait! Stop!” Sasuke wakes up to see Naruto arrive!

“(Thinking) This isn’t ment to happen! The girl, she changed time! This could still work to my advantage, i’ve seen a different time line and i’m in a new one. Imagine the possibility! A WHOLE NEW WORLD!” Madara leaves with Sasuke and Karin as Danzo’s right eye shuts.

16 Years Ago…

“Your be alright my love, soon we’ll have a beautiful baby boy” Minto holds his wife’s hand.

*Booom!!*

“Matika, stay with my wife, i’m going to check that out” Minto leaves just as a Anbu comes flying in!

“Sir, it’s the 9 tails. It has returned.” The Anbu turns around to see the 9 tailed fox in the forest of death.

“Ok, get everybody you can away from that area. Now!” Minto begins to form handsigns.

“Flying thunder god Jutsu!” The fourth Hokage instantly disappears. The Anbu stares in disbelief.

Forest of Death…

“Get out of here!” The 4th Hokage looks at Jonin.

“Yes Fourth!” The Jonin leave.

“I’ve faced the First Hokage and now i’ll face the Foruth Hokage, how intresting!” The Nine tailed fox laughs.

“Hmm, i won’t let you destroy my village, my home!” The fourth Hokage gets the summoning scroll out!

“Wait! Nine tails, kneel!” Madara walks from the shadows.

“You! Your in control of this beast, who are you!” The fourth Hokage gets a kunai out.

“I’m Madara Uchiha!” Madara steps closer to Minto.

“No, thats impossible! You died at the valley of the end!” Minto stands ready.

“Listen to me Minto, Your going to die tonight if you stop the 9 tails! It’s either you or the village. Just know this i’ll be there, we are Family after all!” Madara appears behind Minto and is pulled into a portal.

Let me show you the future!

A couple of years in the future…

“Where are we!?” The fouth Hokage looks at the dead bodies of the Uchiha Clan.

“The future! With you gone, nobody could stop Danzo from ordering the killing of Uchiha!” Madara looks at Sasuke as he walks home.

“Danzo! Wait, how do i know your not lying!” The Fourth Hokage grabs a kunai.

“If this was a Genjutsu, wouldn’t you have noticesed it by now!” Madara grabs The Fourth and flashes back into the past.

“Tonight, son, you die a hero but your Life will inspire so many more! You won’t die forever, take this gift from me” Madara hands Minto the last Akatsuki ring.

“Wear it and you will beat this beast. I promise, goodbye!” Madara leaves.

3 years ago…

“Itachi! How far until the hidden leaf!” Kisame licks his lips.

“A few extra miles, i want you to carry on, i have to make a pit stop” Itachi begins to walk away.

“Your leaving already! Fine, i’ll meet you at the village!” Kisame casually walks away.

“(Thinking) Orochimaru, i’m coming!” Itachi activates his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Orochimaru’s lair…

“My arms Kabuto! We need to get to Tsunade!” Orochimaru screams in pain.

“I know sir, you only have a couple of months until you need to switch!” Kabuto gathers a towel and gives it to Orochimaru.

“I must have him! Sasuke Uchiha will be mine!” Orochimaru’s long tongue slivers out.

“Your wrong there, Orochimaru!” Itachi walks into his room as a guard falls to the ground.

“I know what you did Itachi, Danzo told me, in return for that arm of his! Very noble, killing your own family to save the village. Except you left TWO alive didn’t you! You failed, now both will help me in someway, destroy Kohona!” Orochimaru coughs up blood.

“Your arms, thats it isn’t! You could have at least tried to take my body but your arms have no charka. Hahahah, who would have throught that the great Lord Orochimaru would be unable to beat a young boy and a old man! Your not even worth fighting!” Itachi begins to leave.

“You can’t stop me Itachi, i will be inside of your brother!” Orochimaru begins to laugh.

“I know but the third technique  of my Mangekyou Sharingan will not only stop you but it will kill you!” Itachi splits into hundreds of crows and they fly out.

“Life is a gift. A gift wasted by most people, only a select few cherish life enough to risk their own to save others. Life should be taken from those who don’t deserve it, only then, will ninja reach peace. Today i prove that only the ones who deserve life will be given life, today i saw that i am the man will lead us into a new age of peace. Today i say words which will change the course of history forever, today i say The Red Cloud lives again!”

“Ahhhh, Noo! It can’t be! I’vestopped it!” Naruto falls to his knees but Kakashi catches him.

“What are you talking about! Naruto! Narutoooooooooooooo!” Kakashi looks into Naruto’s bloodshot eye.

“The future is worse! There will be blood!” Naruto’s nose begins to bleed as Danzo apporaches but Kakashi ready his kunai!

Next Week…

“Tonight i change the world, Tonight i change the w0rd “LIFE” I am…….”

“I can’t life in a future where he wins, i can’t!”

“Only i decide who lives and who dies, Me!”

• Danzo vs Kakashi!
• The power of the Fourth!
• Naruto vs Jūgo

Next Week: Akatsuki Generation’s: Eternal Darkness

SvS Part 5: Welcome to the Bungle

“Hello, it’s Guruku here, your sarcastically inclined host. Now, last time on Shannaro v. Shannaro, the contestants faced a hot and spicy cooking challenge where each team had to cook up a three-course meal for me to taste. Team Chronicles snatched the win, and Team Shippuden sent Zep packing. Now, let’s get start on, Shannaro, v., Shannaro!”

Pein flung open the door to Team Chronicles cabin and stepped forward. Not remembering the steps, and being extremely groggy, he took a plunge to the ground. Uchiha appeared at the doorway. “Another early morning fall Pein?”

“Yeh, shut up. I’ll just sleep the rest of the morning here…”

“Bah, no you won’t!” Guruku screeched through the mega phone. “Get off your lazy butts. Today, is an outdoors challenge!”

Suna opened the door to Team Shippuden’s trailer. “Like we couldn’t have guessed. ” Glancing at Pein, he smiled. “Oops.” He stepped forward and fell down the stairs. “Ha, comfortable grass…”

Guruku rolled his eyes as the other Team members of each appeared out of the trailers.

At a clearing leading inside of the forest, he gathered everyone.

“The objective here is for each team to survive in the wilderness a whole night. Now, there are no restrictions on coming out, but the last one to stay in the wilderness, wins their team invincibility. This seems like a challenge meant for when there are no teams, but you should all get that thought out of your minds. You will go in right…”

Silence. Birds. NTG took a doll out of her pocket. “Can catman…”

“NOW!”

Everyone sighed and headed into the wilderness. NTG’s face grew pale. “I’m taking him anyway!”

Suna slapped his hand to his forehead. “What are we going to do with her…?”

Ssj grinned. “Since this technically is supposed to be a last-man-standing challenge, I’m headed off. Peace.” He then sprinted into the daylight’s shade.

He collapsed by a tree and pulled out his sketch-pad and pencil. “Might as well make the most of the silence.” As he said that, a squirrel hopped down from the tree above him and landed on his head.

As he was about to shoo it, it thudded an acorn on his head constantly. “I hate my life…”

DH found a branched tree and started to climb it. “Up here, I shall rule. I will win.”

When she reached the top, she sat on the uppermost branch and grinned wildly. “I! AM! THE QUEEN! OF THE WORLD!”

Suddenly, she felt a spider on her arm. “ACK!”

She then lost her balance and fell. She landed eleven branches down and sighed. The spider appeared on her forehead. “Ah, forget it.”

The spider seemed to chuckle.

Uchiha picked a blueberry and munched it down. “Nice, and there ripe too.” As he ate some more, he grunted, “Maybe too ripe. These are bitter.”

Kisu dashed across a clearing, glancing around frequently to see the sights. “I’m going to use up all my energy now, so I can fall asleep later and get through the night!”

As he tired down, he fell into a mud pit. “Maybe…my brain doesn’t work right…” He knew this when he looked at his watch and it said 10:03 A.M.

Suna crossed his legs on the ground and shifted into a meditation pose. “I shall calm myself. I don’t want to use up all my energy now…”

When he said those words, Kisu’s body tingled. The two were quite a few yards away, and Kisu could not see him, but he suddenly screamed, “SHUT UP SUNA!”

Suna heard this, opened an eye and smirked. “I guess his Suna senses are tingling, hehehe.”

Mart curled up in a ball inside a hollow tree. “Paranoia is falling over me. I can’t do it. I’m not staying out here. I can’t do it. I’m going to go crazy…What if a porcupine shows up…shoots me with needles in the legs and as I try to take them out, the barbs slice the inside of my skin? And what if a skunk named Betty walks up and sprays me? What if a moose tramples me?! What if I lose my hatchet?! WHAT THEN?! WHAT THEN MOM!?????!”

As Guruku hears this over a microphone, he giggles. “I just love book references.”

Mart shoots up and bolts out of the forest. He approaches Guruku and falls over, bawling. “huhnkshnfn.”

“One down, 14 suckahs to go.”

10 hours later…

Kisu, DH, Cookie, WS and Bob had given up and come out of the challenge.

“Now, looks like only 9 remain. And,” as he looks at the camera set up in the middle of the forest, “those nine are having a meeting in the middle. All except for Uchiha.”

In a smaller clearing somewhere, Uchiha lays on the ground, his eyes closed, twitching. “Bad…berries…hork…”

In the larger clearing, all eight other contestants sit.

“Okay, I think if we all stay here, we all have a better chance of not dying or leaving the forest.” NTG announced.

“Well, I don’t think we should listen to the Head of the Catman Association.” Suna put bluntly.

“Ahem, excusemoi. Head of the Catman Society, mr. man.” NTG fired back.

“Oh, and it matters!” Suna replied begrudgingly.

“Yo, you two are on the same team. No squabbling!” Ssj barked.

“Fine.” Suna said.

“Whatevah…catman haters…” NTG said quietly.

“ANYWAY! Team Chronicles has decided to stay here. You Team Shippuden…” Knight started. He felt something crawling up his back. “What the…? ZOMG!”

He got up and practically flew out of the forest.

“What was that?” J asked inquisitively.

“Giant Centipede, definitely.” Kay mumbled dully.

Suddenly, everyone heard a shriek. The shriek caused everyone to shoot up, but made NTG skedaddle.

The 6 scorched to the sound of the noise. When approached, there, right there on the ground, was Uchiha.

“What happened?” Kay screamed.

Pein rolled his eyes. “I think I should care, but I don’t.”

An explosion of gasps. “You don’t care about a friend? Or a fellow teammate?!” How horrible!” J growled.

He walked away and out of the forest. “Whatever.”

“What’s been up with him?” Suna spat.

Guruku rushed into the forest. “Hm, looks like he ate these. Poisonous Mistletoe berries. We’d better get him out of the wilderness and to a hospital.”

Hitlershire and Suna helped Uchiha up and carefully carried him out of the forest.

“I’m going with them.” Kay said.

“But, you’ll lose, just like Suna.” Ssj remarked.

“It’s okay. I’m going.” Kay nodded and left with the other four.

“Down to us three. And we have the advantage over you, J.” Ssj smirked.

“Whatever. I’m going to win for our team.”

Later that night, Flash and Ssj lean up against trees, their eyes falling closed. “I guess we need to get to sleep.” Flash announces to his teammate.

“I guess. Actually, Flash, I’m going to leave the rest up to you. Is that okay? It’s getting kind of cold. You have a jacket, so you can stay warmer.”

Flash nodded. “I won’t let us down.”

Ssj stood up, grabbing his pad and pencil, and walked out of the forest.

As the two left fell asleep, the crickets started chirping soulfully.

The next morning, Flash woke up to see that no-one was with him.

“What?”

Guruku appeared.

“Team Shippuden wins invincibility!”

“What? What happened?!”

“During the night, some of the other teams mates came and took J. You win.”

Flash grinned. “YES!”

Back at the trailers, Team Chronicles shrugged Pein away from them.

“I heard what you did, and I really cannot believe you would’ve let him just suffer!” DH barked.

“Well, I was tired and…”

“We don’t want to hear it, to be honest. You’re out of here, man.” Cookie snapped.

At the ceremony that night, three people remained: Bob, Pein and Knight.

“Before we continue, I wanted you all to know that Uchiha will not be returning anytime soon. All we’ve heard is that they’ve cured him mostly, but he will still need bedrest…Now, the next award goes to Bob.”

“And last…The final award goes to…KNIGHT! So that means Pein will be going away now!”

Guruku sucked Pein up right as he opened his mouth to speak something.

“See you all next time for Shannaro v. Shannaro, Part 6!”

Oh, shannarolites, if you would, turn your attention to the poll. I need you guys to vote for your season favorites. Since this is really early to input this, if there are not many entries, I will input the poll a little later, but I would like to know what you guys think right now.

New Era: Densetsu

Chapter 1

Old Roots

In a forest close to the Hidden Leaf…

“Are you guys coming? Pick up the pace!”

“We are! We are! Here we come!”

Three figures emerged from thick trees onto a path leading to the Village Gate.

“Finally, on origin territory!” The girl yelled in excitement.

“Sauno, don’t get overexcited.” A grown man’s voice replied.

“Aw, I’ve been gone for 2 years, I think I have the authority to be excited! Right, Uzuna?”

“Yeah, I agree. Let’s go!” Uzuna replied as well.

As the trio passed the village gate, Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane spotted them. “Uzuna? Sauno? Naruto?! Welcome back. Long time no visit!”

The trio waved back as they passed.

As they made their way farther in the village, they began talking as they passed Ichiraku Ramen.

Suddenly fom inside, four ninja dashed out.

The trio whirred back in battle position. “Huh?”

“Uzuna and Sauno. It’s been awhile.” Neten Hyuga announced.

“Neten!” Suano cheered.

Beside him were Hizuka and another boy Sauno did know.

Uzuna and Sauno both cheered, “Hizuka!”

Hizuka said hello back. Behind them was Iruka.

Uzuna looked sideways at the other boy and soon recognized him. “Mokunti Senshi!”

The boy waved back. “Hey Uzuna, long time no see.” The boy had two wooden staffs strapped to his back.

“Looks like you guys had a wardrobe change and you’ve grown a lot.” Iruka observed.

Uzuna and Sauno nodded. “And you guys have too! This is so cool. But I have a question. Why are the three of yo on a team with Iruka?”

Iruka spoke up. “Because we knew today was about the time you’d get back, and these are the three best new Jonin in the village at the moment.”

Uzuna almost fell on top of Iruka’s words. “Hizuka…You’re a Jonin!?”

Sauno’s eyes were as wide as grapefruits.

“Yeah, I became one close to four months ago. Hence the fact he said ‘new’ Jonin. Neten here took the Jonin exam almost a year ago. And Mokunti is brand new, but he’s really skilled.”

Uzuna went into a transe of thought. “I remember back when we were in the Academy, age 10, and Mokunti was my best friend. He still is…I wonder how much stronger he’s gotten.”

Sauno spoke up. “But, why are you three…?”

“Because they’re going to challenge you to combat.” Iruka answered.

Uzuna and Sauno gasped. “You think we can take on three Jonin at once?!”

Iruka nodded, and Naruto cut in with his own nod. “So, we’re heading to the Training Field immediately. Lord Hokage is waiting there to overview the battle.

The seven people quickly headed to the Training Field.

Once there, Iruka gave Uzuna and Sauno some time to think stratagetically.

“How will we take them down, Sauno? You’re better at deducting than I am.”

“Let’s thing. Neten is a Hyuga with the Byakugan. He’s a close combat fighter, so we have to take him down long-range, neither one of us can match his close range skills. We know most things about Hizuka, but he’s probably got new skills we don’t even know about. He’s a medical-nin, so expect that. Do you know anything about Mokunti?” Sauno arranged.

Uzuna nodded. “He uses his wooden staff, or staffs now, and he’s really good at Taijutsu. He knows some Lightning Style techniques, like Wave of Thunder, but otehr than that, I’ve drawn a blank.” Uzuna replied.

Sauno and Uzuna stood up. “We’ll take the Long Spotting Hazard formation, okay?” Sauno and Uzuna agreed.

Neten, Hizuka and Mokunti stepped up. Hizuka’s dog, Ryouken, stands next to him. He had grown a bit since before, now probably being to heavy to stay on Hizuka’s head.

“We’re ready.”

Neten activated his Byakugan. “Guys…Their chakra level together is extremely high. We must be careful. And they’re old friends, so we know what they’re capable of.”

Mokunti nodded, Hizuka as well, and Ryouken gave an ecstatic yip.

From behind, Iruka yelled, “Start!”

Uzuna created two Shadow Clone and started off quick, dashing straight for them. Sauno drew three shuriken and followed closely behind.

Neten dashed forward and jabbed the middle Uzuna in the stomach diminishing him and tripped one of the others.

He turned around, away from Sauno. She lobbed the Shuriken his way.

He deflected them with a kunai. Sauno then jumped over him and dashed towards Mokunti. The remaining Uzuna formed a hand sign. “Water Style: Turbo Aqua Jet!”

He drew in a breath and breathed a strong blast of water in his way. Mokunti quickly drew the poles on his back and twisted them in circles quickly, deflecting the high-powered water.

“Sauno, now!”

Uzuna hopped back and formed another hand sign. “Wind Style: Devastation!”

Sauno was able to kick back Neten an inch. “Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!”

The wind and fire chakra fused to create a high powered, fast moving attack.

Hizuka skidded out of the way and started at a dash. Mokunti formed a hand sign. “Lightning Style: Repetitive Electricity!”

Lightning protruded from his body in large bolts. Sauno flipped and dodged them. Hizuka was closing in in font of her. “Taijutsu Art: Fang Over Fang!”

He and Ryouken started spinning quickly in a funnel towards Sauno. “Oh, so that’s one thing he learned. Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bombs!” She breathed the high level jutsu in his wake.

They deflected and Hizuka was left high in the air. He focused chakra into his fist and came down quickly. “Take this!”

Sauno jumped out of the way as he connected with the ground. A huge tremor followed by the earth shattering below her followed. “What?! His strength is close ot that of Sakura’s…Ack.”

Uzuna formed a Rasengan and dashed forward. “Looks like our plan is out.”

Neten started spinning as Uzuna delivered the Rasengan. “Rotation.”

The energy backlashed and threw Uzuna back violently. He skid on the ground, but ended up on one knee. “Hm. This is hard.”

Mokunti started heading his way, both staffs out. He slammed them both on the ground. Uzuna hopped quickly out of the way, but he didn’t let up. He twirled them above his head and moved closer.

Uzuna made a Shadow Clone. It scurried forwards. The staffs however just smacked it across the head and diminished it.

“Fine, if that won’t work…Water Style: Tall Whirlpool Jutsu!”

He spit water on the ground in front of him and fusing his wind chakra with it, it span upwards in a funnel around him. He controlled it and sent it spiraling down at Mokunti.

Mokunti hopped over it, but the sheer power of the water swept him away. “Ahh!”

His staffs flung over head and landed on dry ground.

Sauno noticed the water coming their way and jumped straight up. “That was his whirlpool technique.”

She landed on the water and ran with it.

Neten tried to avoid it, but just decided to hop ontop as well.

Hizuka saw its source and span into the FOF again towards it.

Uzuna revealed himself. Hizuka was quickly spinning his way. “Ugh! Wind Style: Devastation!”

He blew the extremely powerful gust of wind and it collided with Hizuka. He was thrown back into the water.

Ryouken was thrown with him.

Neten dashed towards Sauno. When he got close enough, he began spinning. “I’m going to deflect this water! Rotation!”

The water began swirling up around the spinning energy. He touched the front of the Rotation and the energy was thrown forward. The water spewed quickly at Sauno.

Sauno activated her Sharingan and charged a weak Chidori. She began thinking to her training. “Against a comrade, you never use a high powered Chidori. Remember this Sauno.”

She dashed forward and ripped through the water easily and slammed into Neten. The electricty shrouded him and he was thrown back and skimmed across the water, then sank inside.

Uzuna unsummoned the water and soaked it up. “Was that…good enough?!”

Mokunti stood up and spit up water. He picked up his staffs and slid them onto his back again. Hizuka stood up with Ryouken. Neten picked himself up as well. The three Jonin teleported over to Naruto, Shikamaru and Iruka. Sauno and Uzuna followed.

“These three told us you showed growth in your ability as ninja. And we three agree as well. Good job.” Shikamaru expressed.

Sauno and Uzuna high-fived eachother.

Sauno was still skeptical. “Now, what was all that for?”

“To place you. For awhile, we were thinking of whether to put you in your old team, or to create a new one. We think that the best matchup would be Sauno, Uzuna and Hizuka together as team. Equal Shinobi like before.” Shikamaru declared.

Sauno, Hizuka and Uzuna grinned widly. “Awesome!” Uzuna cheered.

In the Leaf Village…

Sauno and Uzuna stand around, talking with Hizuka. “Well, yeah, after you guys left, I started some extensive and wild training with Kiba and Sakura-sama. It was difficult.”

Sauno and Uzuna nodded. “Our training was strenuous as well.”

Somewhere in some barren ruins…

“Isn’t it here somewhere?” A gruff voice called out.

“Yeah, I’m not sure where though. Calm down. Aha, there, I see a light.”

A figure moved some tablets around from the ground and grabbed something inside an iron capsule. “This should be it. The Jewel of Curiosity. It’s ours, and that’s one we can scratch off our list. Let’s head back.”

“Right.”

And that would be the end of the debut!

Shannaro is destroyed and Zep Sr. has been send to a unknown place. that was about all that has happened before now enjoy the chapter:

Sokka: This cave sucks we’ve been trying to find this guardian for how many days already?

White Shinobi: Sokka shut up it has only been 2 hours

Shika: Man i wish i could’ve stayed home.

Pain0Avenue: Feel free to go.

NoneatenCookie: That’s right we won’t stop you.

WhiteFangofKonaha: Guys shut up I heard something.

Suddenly in the dark a creature comes out and charges at them with crazy speed.

WhiteFangofKonaha: Raikiri!

WFK kills the creature but the noise has alerted the other creatures that come out too.

YellowUchiha: Dammit this is troublesome.

Pain0Avenue: I’ll take care of them, Gravity Scroll release! Gravity zero!

The creatures begin to levitate making it hard for them to move.

P0A: Gravity minus one!

The creatures begin to levitate higher and can’t come down anymore.

Voice: Don’t underestimate our powers.

The guardian (a black snake-like human) comes out and undoes the gravity change easely.

Guardian: I think you’re looking for this? *points at the orb on its chest*

WhiteFangofKonaha: That’s right could you give it to us?

Guardian: You need to prove yourself worthy first.

WFk has already created another Raikiri and charges with it but the guardian dodges it.

Guardian: That all you got?

WhiteFangofKonaha: P0a I thought you got him!

Pain0Avenue: I did but he released the jutsu like he did with the beasts.

White Shinobi: P0A WFK stand back!, Ice Shot!

White Shinobi shoots a ball made of hard ice at the guardian but it gets punched in pieces.

Guardian: It seems i underestimated you guys i surrender.

YellowUchiha: Why do you surrender? you didn’t get hit by a attack.

Guardian: That’s right but the next one would kill me.

NoneatenCookie: I don’t understand.

Shika: I made a plan together with WS he would shoot a ice ball at him and my shadow would follow the ice’s shadow and when he hit it i got him in my technique, now give us that orb.

Guardian: *takes out the orb* here i wish you luck on the other ordeals I’ll see you later.

They go back to the thunder plains to find Rairy again but the beasts that defend the Thunder plains have come out.

Shika: How annoying Kiiro Aoiro come out! *shika’s puppets see chapter 19 for details*

The puppets attack and manage to kill most beasts but some beasts use a special attack where thunder shoots out their mouths

Shika: Miidoriiro!

A green puppet reflects the blasts and kills the beasts but suddenly a lightning blast destroys the puppet and Rairy is standing there

shika: What no ninjutsu has ever destroyed Miidoriiro before!

YellowUchiha: *activates raikiri in both hands* Guys buy me some time for my zap cannon.

Sokka: Ok *transforms and goes into a close range battle with the guardian*.

Sokka seems to get overwhelmed by Rairy so he transforms again and now he gets the upper hand.

Rairy: Not bad now what if i use this? Raishi! *thunder forms around her limbs like a chidori nagashi but it’s more concentrated and more dangerous*

Sokka: Not bad.

YellowUchiha’s jutsu is done and he fires a huge lightning blast at Rairy but since Rairy is a lightning master as well she blocks it with some effort

YellowUchiha: Dammit i never thought you got enough power to block it this fast.

Sokka takes advantage of the distracted Rairy and has build up enough chakra to create flames around his body.

Sokka and Rairy punch each other and both get knocked back then sokka kicks at Rairy’s head but she moves away and shoots lightning from the ground that blasts Sokka in the air, then she jumps and tries to kick sokka in the but sokka dodges in the air and surprises Rairy. Sokka wastes no time and slams into Rairy then like a meteor they fall into the ground.

Rairy: You’re strong, here you can have it *hands over the orb*

White Shinobi: Now let’s go to the lake then.

Rairy: Wait! You *points at ws* Let me talk to you alone.

White Shinobi: Ok guys go on ahead i’ll catch up later, so what do you want to know?

Rairy: What are you gonna do when you reach him?

White Shinobi: I don’t know i guess i’ll keep hiding my identity and beat him.

Rairy: Please just stop this something bad might happen if you continue.

White Shinobi: I know but i need to talk to that old fart again and this is the only way to do that.

Rairy: I will talk to him but there’s 1 more thing you should know, someone on the island is looking for you.

White Shinobi: Who is it?

Rairy: That person told me not to tell you who he is. I will try to find the old fart so go to the ice tower and I’ll meet you there.

White Shinobi: Ok i will, but I first need to go to my friends.

*2 days at the lake (Ws isn’t there yet)*

Sokka: I’m kinda useless in water so if you guys don’t mind i will stay here.

Shika: I’ll stay here too in case WS comes and if we get ambushed by beasts sokka might let his guard down and die.

Sokka: Shut up you!

WhiteFangofKonaha: Ok you 2 stay here we’ll take care of them.

YellowUchiha: Wait I will stay too if I use my lightning everyone will get hit in the water.

Pain0Avenue: Fine

NoneatenCookie: Let’s go!

On the bottom of the lake a Shrine is located where a mermaid guardian lives.

Guardian: So you have arrived…

NoneatenCookie: Hand over the orb and we won’t hurt you.

Guardian: If you prove yourself i’ll give it to you, if you’re weak you die.

Pain0Avenue: Bring it!

P0A tries a fire jutsu but because of the water not enough oxygen is around and the fire doesn’t happen.

WhiteFangofKonaha: P0A you fool don’t use fire or lightning jutsu!

NoneatenCookie: Leave it to me, Scroll Release!

NEC uses a wind jutsu to attack but the mermaid dodges it with amazing speed and tackles NEC who sees and opening and fires a powerful wind jutsu at point blank pushing the Mermaid back.

Guardian: I have underestimated you. Water spike!

The mermaid makes hand seals and suddenly NEC gets shot out the water.

P0A and WFK take adventage and attack the mermaid but she’s just too fast in the water.

NoneatenCookie: *on top of the water* let’s end this Suifuton: Mizu Hibi (water/wind style: water fissure)

A fissure separates the water in 2 halves, the mermaid loses much of her speed because she is outside of the water and she get’s taken down by P0A and WFK

Guardian: You guys are worthy, here take this orb *hands it over*

NoneatenCookie: Thanks, let’s go to the volcano.

Pain0Avenua: Shouldn’t we wait for WS?

Guardian: Don’t worry i’ll tell him to go when he comes here, I don’t have much to do anymore anyway.

WhiteFangofKonaha: Ok thanks, now let’s go guys!

*1 day later WS has reached the lake*

Guardian: So it really was you?

White Shinobi: So Aquana, you recognized me too?

Aquana: Well it’s not that hard since you beat me last time.

White Shinobi: yeah sorry for that but can you do me a favor?

Aquana: What is it?

White Shinobi: I’m going ahead to the ice tower can you please tell the others to meet me there?

Aquana: Fine it’s not like i got much to do now without my orb to protect.

*at the volcano 2 days later*

Guardian: So you have finally arrived i was getting tired of waiting.

NoneatenCookie: Water Scroll release *summons water from a scroll* Suiton Suiryuudan!

The water dragon attacks but it get’s evaporated when it gets close to the Guardian

NoneatenCookie: What it didn’t even hit!?

Guardian: You fools i am the strongest of all guardians.

YellowUchiha: Stand back, Zap Cannon!

YellowUchiha’s zap cannon hits the Guardian and destroys some of his lava armor.

Guardian: Not bad, but not good enough.

Pain0Avenue: Take this Gravity cannon!

The gravity cannon destroys some more of its armor and knocks him into the volcano.

Guardian: My turn!

The guardian jumps out the crater and shoots some half-molten rocks at them.

Shika: Kageheki!

A shield made from Shika’s shadow protects them.

WhiteFangofKonaha: How about we get serious, Gofuuungan!

Guardian: Those eyes.. i hate them! Great Eruption!

The volcano spews out a lot of magma that rains down on everyone.

Sokka: Chou Kenpei Ue! San Yajuu Hentan (3rd beat transformation)

Sokka’s armor now becomes bigger, more offensive, harder ,more shiny and his horn disappeared but instead his claws and fangs become more deadly.

Guardian: I didn’t know your true form was this cool Kid, what is your name.

Sokka: Firelord, Sokka and don’t call me kid!

Guardian: Ok Firelord i will give you my orb so i can fight you again later on full power.

Sokka: What?!

Guardian: These orbs seal part of our power so we can’t fight you on full power now, but as the last ordeal you guys need to fight us without orbs.

Sokka: *reverts* Ok i will look forward to it!

Guardian: I will too.

*Aquana appears*

Aquana: I have a message for you.

Sokka: what is it?

Aquana: That guy in white told me that he will be waiting at the ice tower for you guys.

WhiteFangofKonaha: Ok let’s go there then.

*2 days later WS has reached the tower*

White Shinobi: Yo Hirako, i want a rematch!

Hirako: *grabs his orb and throws it away* It’s been a while, I heard your ice powers have become stronger.

White Shinobi: *smiles* that’s one of the 3 reasons i came here.

Hirako: To have a rematch is the first but what are the others?

White Shinobi: I need to ask the old fart for an alliance with Shannaro, and Rairy told me someone is looking for me and when he got more info he would come here.

Hirako: Ok let’s do it then.

Hirako (he’s twice the size ot the average human) grabs a glaive and swings it down with enormous power, White Shinobi Blocks it with an ice shield but since they’re on the second floor the floor collapses and they fall down to the ground floor.

White Shinobi: You sure like overdoing things huh?

Hirako: *Fixes the hole with his ice power* you should know this was only a demonstration of my power.

White Shinobi: It wouldn’t be fun if that’s all you got.

Hirako: That my friend, is the right answer *swings his glaive*

White Shinobi dodges the glaive and shoots a ice ball that get’s punched in pieces, Then White Shinobi jumps to dodge another glaive swing and fires a thunderbolt at Hirako.

Hirako: Not bad you really have gotten better.

White Shinobi: I told you so.

*the door opens and Rairy appears*

Hirako: Rairy it’s been a while since you came here, but I’m busy now so…

Rairy: Well i have gathered some more information and decided it could not wait till after your fight.

Hirako: Ok tell us what is the news.

Rairy: There are some samurai hiding in the forest who are wanting to take over the island, also the one that searched for you is in the forest also.

White Shinobi: Ok i’ll go there now.

*as soon as White Shinobi wants to leave the others arrive*

WhiteFangofKonaha: Yo!

White Shinobi: I’m sorry but i can’t go with you guys anymore.

YellowUchiha: Why not?

White Shinobi: It seems it’s not allowed to do the ordeals twice and since i did it once before already i can’t do it again.

NoneatenCookie: Ok i understand.

White Shinobi: Oh I’ve got a present for you guys *throws the orb*

Hirako: What when did you?

White Shinobi: When you smashed the floor.

*they all go to the wasteland but WS directly heads to the forest while the others go fight the wasteland guardian*

* at the forest*

Chaos: Dammit we have ended up here and we don’t know shit about this place.

Sothe: Let’s look for WS he had been here before.

???: Maybe I can be of some assistance.

They turn around and see a woman.

Tsukiru: My name is Tsukiru,

Sothe: We are looking for our friends, they came here before us and we want to collect all the orbs.

Tsukiru: Ok I can’t help you with your friends but the orb is in my possession, fight me for it

Chaos: Fine but first, Release!

Chaos dispels the genjutsu so they see Tsukiru’s real form: a human with arms and legs like a praying mantis and also has wings that resemble a mosquito.

Tsukiru: Dammit I hate this form, oh well it’s better for fighting anyway.

Chaos creates 2 swords and attacks Tsukiru but she just blocks it with her mantis arms.

Tsukiru: Heh these arms are as sharp as your swords

Chaos attacks again but he get’s blocked the same way.

Tsukiru: It’s no use.

Sothe: Yes it is!

Sothe creates a special illusion where his fist appears in front of Tsukiru’s face and knocks her back, Chaos takes this time to change his 2 swords into 2 big maces and attempts to crush Tsukiru who manages to avoid most damage and tells them that she  wants to fight them at full power so she gives them her orb.

*at the wasteland(1 day after the ice tower)*

NoneatenCookie: This is weird there is no place to hide but we can’t find the guardian.

WhiteFangofKonaha: Maybe he’s under the ground?

Suddenly a scorpion appears that doesn’t do anything but look at them

Sokka: Why doesn’t it attack?

Pain0Avenue: Maybe it’s scared?

YellowUchiha: Wait isn’t the summoning from WS a scorpion?

WhiteFangofKonaha: Yea so?

Shika: You want to say this might be his summoning area?

YellowUchiha: Maybe.

As they said that the sand moves up and a huge white scorpion appears.

WhiteFangofKonaha: Sukorupi!

Sukorupi: Hi guys so you are doing the ordeals this time?

Pain0Avenue: Pretty much can you show us to the guardian?

Sukorupi: You have found him *transforms into a human with a scorpion tail and claws instead of hands.

Sokka: Why doesn’t this surprise me?

Sukorupi attacks with his claws but YellowUchiha uses a double raikiri on him that stuns him for a second, and as soon as he’s stunned NoneatenCookie and Sokka use a wind/fire combo that makes grilled scorpion from Sukorupi.

Sukorupi: I hate it that I’m the weakest of the guardians, here take this orb.

Shika: Ok thanks.

Scorpion: Sukorupi-sama, why didn’t you fight them seriously?

Sukorupi: I don’t like fighting while holding back, and I want to fight them at full power so I don’t want to see more of their jutsu’s

*at the forest*

White Shinobi: Where is that person then?

Rairy: It might be that the samurai have killed that person.

White Shinobi: If you tell me who it is I can tell you if they are able to kill him.

Rairy: I’m sorry but that person begged me not to tell.

*Somewhere deeper in the forest*

Samurai: Why don’t you join us?

Ninja: Because I don’t want to.

Samurai: Aww c’mon it’s gonna be fun.

Ninja: I said no didn’t I?

Samurai: Then Die!

The samurai attacks with his sword but the ninja disarmed him with a single sword slash.

Ninja: Damn you, wasting my time, I gotta find Ws, Rairy said he was here.

The ninja turns his back on the Samurai but the Samurai has gotten up and charges at the Ninja who notices quickly enough and cuts off his head with ease.

The ninja wants to leave but the friends from the Samurai appear at the scene.

Samurai: Die!

Ninja: Dammit I have no time for dealing with you guys.

The samurai attack the Ninja but the Ninja has better swordsmen skill then the samurai have and he beats them all.

Samurai Leader: *Claps* You are pretty strong let me introduce myself, I am the samurai leader my name shall be a secret forever.

Ninja: *thinks* What a idiot I don’t have time for this.

Samurai Leader: I saw you beat my new recruits easily but I wonder how you will do against a stronger someone.

Samurai 2^nd in line:  Leader let me kill him I will make it quick so we can save time.

Ninja: Dammit you guys are starting to piss me off.

The samurai charges and the ninja blocks the Samurai with a sword, then the ninja makes a spin and tries to make a cut in the Samurai’s hand but the Samurai was able to dodge it.

Samurai:  You are pretty good, you must have had some good sword training.

Ninja: Indeed, how about we get serious then?

Samurai: You must be bluffing you’re strong but not that strong that you were only playing with me.

Ninja: Would you bet your life on it?

The ninja charges at the Samurai with double the speed as before and uses some swift attacks that make the Samurai lose balance and then the ninja uses a powerful slash that knocks the samurai back.

Ninja: That all you got? I thought you were the second in line.

Samurai: Dammit!

The samurai charges recklessly while the ninja dodges his slash and cuts him open.

Ninja: You’re a disgrace for all swordsmen.

Samurai: Shut up!

The Samurat attacks again but the Ninja blocks him

Ninja: Rage makes the blade dull.

Samurai: Wha?

The ninja cuts the Samurai once more and the Samurai collapses.

Samurai Leader: Die!

The Samurai Leader attacks the ninja from behind but before he damages the ninja White Shinobi has already killed him with a with wind chakra powered punch that pierces his heart.

White Shinobi: You were searching for me?

Ninja: indeed *removes ANBU mask and hugs  White Shinobi* it’s been almost 9 years way too long if you ask me.

White Shinobi: I agree but I thought you died in the war?

Ninja: I will explain everything later in Shannaro.

White Shinobi: Ok, but it will take a while to get back.

Ninja: *puts anbu mask back on*I don’t care now I met you I feel way better

*2 familiar faces reach the place*

Chaos: So Ws have you gotten lost?

Sothe: I know he probably separated from them to be alone with her.

Ninja: Sothe, Chaos! Good to see you 2 are still alive too.

Chaos: You weren’t surprised to see WS alive but you are when we are?

Sothe: Do you really think we are weaker than he is?

Ninja: No no no I’m sorry I didn’t mean it that way.

Chaos: *Smiles* We’ll forgive you because it has been such a long time.

Sothe: Let’s go find those other guys.

White Shinobi: I’m sorry please go on ahead we can’t go because we have done the ordeals already.

Chaos: Fine, Sothe you still have that orb right?

Sothe: Who do you think I am? Sephiroth? I won’t lose everything I have in my pockets.

Chaos: Ok ok I’m sorry.

I know what you guys are thinking these Guardians are nothing special but this is just some sort of a sumary to show you what guardians there are. I promise there will be some nice battles when they get serious in the last ordeal, that will start next chapter and I will reveal who the ninja is so don’t miss the next chapter of the Shannaro Manga: Everyone Gather, Final ordeals almost begins.

PS. if you guess who the ninja is you’ll get a Cookie, a Muffin, a bottle of beer or a glass of water.
