Shito tells the ninja to get out of his way but the ninja laugh at him and say he will pay for his big mouth and they all attack him but all their attacks seem to go trough Shito and all of them suddenly get bind down so they can’t move and Sephiroth appears and tells them shut up or he’ll kill them in and outside the genjutsu.

Sephiroth: Damn weaklings they send even weaker men than the guards i took out easily.

 Shito: Brother where are we going?

Sephiroth: To the shadow country.

Shito: Why would we go to the county you left? won’t they try to kill us?

Sephiroth: Don’t worry we have formed an alliance with them because i was the one who started the war the least thing we could do is help them.

*Scene changes to kurogyouten hideout*

Guruku: *rolls out a map* Ok i’m gonna tell you guys the plan: the enemy has 3 ways to get to the shadow country the crimson valley here, then the forest of the forgotten but i doubt they would make their way trough that since it’s hard to find your way back with the illusion trees there and lastly the “red” lake

Hawk: Crimson valley and red lake? why get those names?

L: There was a man who was nicknamed the crimson ninja since he would color everything red with the blood of his enemy’s the story goes that his home was in the valley and he fought his most battles there so everything in the valley was colored crimson by blood and about the lake i don’t really know.

Shadow Ninja: I heard some rumors on that lake i heard that there was a great clash of ninja during a great war and the blood made the water color red and since it didn’t flow to the sea or somewhere else the color stayed in the water so it’s called the red lake.

Sharingan Leader: The names don’t matter much, leader what is the plan you were thinking about?

Guruku: I have discussed this with J and he said that they would take care of the lake because that’s a famous terrain for their jounins since they hold the jounin exams there and the forest of the forgotten will trap who uses chakra in a genjutsu only if you’re used to it like the shadow ninja’s you can fight in there so we need to defeat the enemies that come from the valley it won’t be that hard since we will put up some traps in it.

Shika: But can’t they just come over the mountains next to the valley?

Guruku: Have you ever walked on those mountains?

Shika; No why?

Guruku: those mountains are made of a special mineral that feeds on chakra if you come close to it it drains your chakra and with chakra it grows you know those mountains started as 2 small minerals.

Sokka: So we will kill everything that comes trough the valley everything that tries to evade us via the mountains would get its chakra drained and eventually die.

*Scene Changes to a rainy forest*

A bounty hunter with a cap that hides his face is looking at a wanted poster as another bounty hunter comes.

BH1: Look at this *shows the bounty posters* ”Firelord” Sokka reward: 50 million yen, “The Shadow” Shika reward: 40 million yen, and “Cursed” L reward 45 million yen. we can make some easy money with these guys they don’t seem that strong

BH2: Look at this they are in the same organization with these 3: “Master of the Sharingan” Sharingan Leader reward: 103 million yen, “Superhuman” SSJ Sasuke reward: 106 million yen, and last but not least “Deathgod” Guruku reward 220 million yen!

BH1: Those look like troublesome guys

BH2: Not if we take advantage of the situation they’re in

BH1: What do you mean?

BH2: The kurogyouten have sided with the shadow country to fight the moon country if we just wait for both teams to tire each other we can just take the corpses and sell them.

BH1: yea let’s do that.

???: You guys are cowards

BH1: Who’s there?

*Sephiroth and Shito appear They have heard the whole story*

BH1: Who are you guys?

Sephiroth: This is all you need to know *rolls up his sleeve and shows the kurogyouten sign on his arm*

BH2: That’s the kurogyouten sign!

BH1: Calm down he hasn’t been in a bounty poster so he isn’t a strong one.

 Sephiroth: It’s true i ain’t in the regular bounty posters but take a look at this one *holds up a black wanted poster*

BH1: Sephiroth a 60 million shadow ninja.

BH2: 60 mil is not that high

Sephiroth; You know we like to have a place to relax from time to time so we never use our full power i bet this guy here with me is strong enough to kill both of you.

???: Wait!

*a moon kunoichi appears*

Shito: Shizuka-chan?

Sephiroth: you’re that girl who escorted me to tsukikage are you here on his orders?

Shizuka: No i’m here to ask Shito if he really wants to leave.

Shito: I’m sorry Shizuka but i have to do this.

BH1&2: Don’t forget about us!

Sephiroth: Shut up!

The bounty hunters try to cut  Shito and Shizuka with their sword but sephiroth takes them out easily.

Shizuka: Then if you really want to leave i want to come with you.

Shito: Are you shure? you know the anbu will be after us right?

Shizuka: I don’t care. *turns to sephiroth* can i come?

Sephiroth: Fine, what kind of weapon do you use?

Shizuka: I use a moon chain but i can also use some long-range fire and water jutsu’s and i use kunai to finish the enemy since it’s hard to kill with a chain.

Sephiroth: It’s been a while since i saw a chain user, also i’m gonna teach Shito a secret technique the dojutsu from the shadow country do you want to learn it too?

Shizuka: Yes

Sephiroth: Ok but there’s 1 thing since you aren’t from the shadow country it might take longer to master the forms i heard you were on a higher level then Shito but he has mastered the first form now i wonder if you’re still better.

Shizuka: I heard the Shadow country got a dojutsu but i heard it’s only usefull when you get the gofuuungan.

Sephiroth: Well Shito has mastered the ichifuungan already but it’s not hard to master that one the nifuuungan is the hardest to get.

Shizuka: Well i don’t believe you Shito let’s spar.

Sephiroth: Shito don’t try to use the nifuuungan, the same as yesterday might happen.

Shizuka: What happened?

Shito: I can’t control it yet and i started to attack randomly, so he had to faint me to stop me.

Sephiroth marks an area with his sword and says who gets out this area will lose Shito starts with a sword slash and Shizuka blocks it with the chain and quickly wraps the sword in but shito activates the ichifuungan and channels the power of the ichifuungan into the sword that gets freed easily, he now tries a stab but Shizuka dodges by jumping back and throws the chain at Shito like a spear but since it has no sharp point it knocks him only back, then she grabs the other end of the chain and pulls it back and turns 360 degrees to smash the chain at Shito like a whip but Shito jumps and as he lands he launches a small shockwave at Shizuka who blocks it by pulling back her chain.

Sephiroth: (thinking) that girl’s not bad.

Shito: Dammit i will have to use ‘that’

Shito get’s into a stance for a special move but Sephiroth appears before him and prevents him from using the attack.

Sephiroth: That’s not a technique to use on your friends if you can’t control it.

Shito: Why?

Sephiroth: You’ll understand when you can control it but let’s finish this battle i’ve seen enough you’re really skilled.

Shizuka: Thanks but what happened to that bounty hunters?

Sephiroth: They ran away.

Shito: Brother i found a cave where we can spend the night

Sephiroth: Good job it’s getting dark

*some hours later they are still awake and it’s dark outside *

Shizuka: It’s good that we made a fire in here since it’s really dark outside.

Shito: Yea it’s really nice and we can also cook some things.

Sephiroth: Stay still for a while i think i heard something.

As soon as sephiroth said that the 2 bounty hunters from earlier come but now they brough some friends.

BH: You can’t get out this is the only exit

Sephiroth: Shito, Shizuka.

Shizuka & Shito: Yes?

Sephiroth: move aside a bit and if i say run, run as fast as you can to the wall.

Shizuka: What?

Sephiroth: Just do it! 

Sephiroth get’s into the same stance as Shito did before and points his sword at the wall then he points his sword at the bounty hunters.

Sephiroth: Dimension wave! Sephiroth now slashes his blade at the wall and a shockwave destroys it together with some trees that stood next to the cave.

Sephiroth: Now run!

Shito and Shizuka run out the cave the bounty hunters try to follow but they’re already caught in the cave since sephiroth has used a doton to block the way they came in but 1 of them has escaped.

BH: You’re unlucky one of our strongest partners has escaped.

Sephiroth: I will kill you guys and go after that one next

Sephiroth get’s in Ouda no jutsu stance but suddenly a big explosion opens the original entrance of the cave and L is standing there.

L: Yo

BH: You’re the cursed ninja L

L: That’s right, Sephy who are these guys?

Sephiroth: Oh just some bounty hunters i was about to kill.

L: Oh i’ll give you a hand.

Sephiroth uses his ouda no jutsu to take out half the bounty hunters and L takes out the other half with a raiton.

when Sephiroth and L get out the cave they see Sokka coming with Shito and Shizuka.

Sokka: I found these brats getting attacked by a bounty hunter what shall i do with them?

L: Beats me.

Sephiroth: Let’s let them live i’ll take them as my students.

Shito: You know these guys brother?

Sephiroth: Yes these are my friends, the emo kid here is L and the one that helped you is called Sokka.

Sephiroth: And this is my little brother Shito and his girlfriend Shizuka

Shizuka: I’m not his girlfriend!

L: And i’m not emo!

Sephiroth: Well whatever why did you guys come here?

Sokka; Leader told us to get you.

Sephiroth: Let’s go then.

*a couple of hours later at the shadow country*

J-sama is speaking to all the ninja’s in the village

 J-sama: This time of the year is the time of the chuunin exam but since we are in a war we will skip this one, and half a year from now we will have the next exam now we will have 3 places where the enemy can invade us, the allied kurogyouten will defend the crimson valley and we will defend the forest of the forgotten and the red lake any questions or objections?

Random jounin1: Yes! i got one, can we really trust the kurogyouten i mean they destroyed half the village?

Laydee kay: We trust guruku he’s not the person to go back on his word.

Random jounin2: Then who is this guruku person? we have never seen him tel us!

Guruku: Oh you guys really are irritating it seems J wasn’t lying

Random Jounin2: And who are you!?

Guruku: Now that’s rude you call me out and then you shout at me, i am Guruku and if you don’t trust me why won’t you come with us to the crimson valley.

Random jounin2: I will you guys wouldn’t be able to fend of all the enemy’s anyway with only 10 people.

Guruku: Well actually we got 12 people now but i kinda like you, tell me your name.

Makai: Makai no ken!

Guruku: Oh a ken clan member? well then, Makai no Ken will you join us to stop the moon county at the crimson valley?

Makai: So you’re not that confident after all? fine i’ll help out.

Guruku: Meet us at the training zone in 1 hour there we will look at your skills.

Makai: Ok!

*1 hour later at the training zone*

Guruku: Ok you are a sword user right?

Makai: Yes.

Guruku: Ok Shito this will be your entrance exam to fight this guy, you don’t have to win to get accepted but make shure you show us all you got.

Makai: What you expect me to fight this kid?

Sephiroth: If you underestimate him you die.

Shito: Then let’s get started, Makai-san.

Makai: Y-Yeah

Makai Jumps and comes crashing down with his sword. Shito blocks it but Makai uses a shadowstep to appear behind  class=”hiddenSpellError” pre=”behind “>shito and cuts him but shito makes a replication and tries to cut Makai who blocks it and tries to use another shadowstep but shito turns and cuts behind him Makai barely dodges it and jumps back. Shito wastes no time and get’s into Ouda stance and uses number 3 on Makai who has to use a stronger version of the shadowstep (called shadowrush) to dodge (shadowstep allows you to disappear in a black haze and set 2 steps but shadowrush allows you to travel 20 steps) Shito just calmly turns around and holds his Makai’s “>sword in front of him while concentrating on the sword as his eyes begin to form into the ichifuungan the sword slowly changes color from silver to blue. Makai uses a shadowrush and appears in front of shito in an instant but Shito jumps over him, turns in the air and makes a downward slash that cuts Makai’s back open. Then Makai disappears and the genjutsu is gone and Shito get caught in surprise but when Makai’s sword almost reaches his head it stops when Shito looks why he sees Makai has a sword put on his throat too.

Sephiroth: A wise choice you would’ve lost your head if you killed him

Shito: This means i have lost.

Guruku: What shall we do?

SSJ-Sasuke: He isn’t experienced enough in genjutsu but i think if Sephiroth teaches him more about it he’s good enough to join us.

Sharingan Leader: I agree, now what kind of exam do we have for this girl?

Zabuzathegreat: Let her cut herself?

Guruku: No.

Zabuzathegreat: Let someone rape her? 

Guruku: No.

Zabuzathegreat: Then how about we just kill her.

Zabuzathegreat get’s his face smashed into a boulder by Sokka.

Zabuzathegreat: What was that for!?

Sokka: Stop it with your wierd ideas dammit!

Zabuzathegreat: Try to hit me 1 more time and i kill you.

Sokka: You really think you can beat me huh?

Sokka jumps when Zabuza charges at him and he transforms his arm as Zabuza starts to use his newly gained power up and they both punch each other as the impact knocks both of them back they try another attack but SSJ Sasuke grabs their arms.

SSj Sasuke: Calm down the two of you.

Zabuzathegreat: SSj keep out of this!

SSj Sasuke: *Glares* shut up.

The glare was enough for Zabuza to tremble in fear for a second but he quickly regains himself and pulls his arm free.

Makai: *Thinking* Are these guys monsters or something? That punch was strong enough to kill the average ninja and yet that guy stops it with ease i’m glad i didn’t have to fight one of them it seems i was the one underestimating them. 

Guruku: Ok i have come up with a plan, we all make a clone and if she kills them all she get’s to join.

All: Ok

Everyone makes a clone and Shizuka takes out her chain but this time she says she will not hold back and puts some kunai into the chain making it twice as deadly.

*moon country kage building*

Tsukikage: So has out spy been planted?

Ninja: Yes Shizuka-chan has gotten in contact with Sephiroth and Shito.

Tsukikage: Ok now then let’s prepare for battle *stands up* The ninja looks at the arm of the Tsukikage and suddenly places a kunai on his throat.

Ninja: Who are you really?

Tsukikage: As expected from one of the top 10 members i can’t fool you.

Ninja: Not just the top 10 i’m even in the top 5 *takes of his glove and shows a number 4 on his wrist* now tell me what have you done to tsukikage-sama.

Tsukikage: Nothing i just took his place while he is absent.

*The real Tsukikage comes in and kicks the fake one against the wall*

Tsukikage: Is it really that much fun crossdressing like that? Yumi-chan.

ninja: Ah i see you didn’t manage to become on of the top 10 so you just transformed yourself to get in this room right? number 11.

Yumi: Shut up!

Tsukikage: Both stop it! we have to prepare for war.

The tsukikage walks away but as he is by the door he turns around.

Tsukikage: Oh and Yumi-chan next time if you transform into me, try to transform your own mark too then.

Yumi: *looks at the 11 on her arm* Oh so that’s how you knew!

*Shadow country training zone*

 Sothe Chaos Wfk and WS are just sitting in the grass chilling, drinking beer, eating muffins, etc. while their students are training.

Grand Hokage: Hey you old geezers come here and help us train!

Chaos: *throws a beer bottle at Grand Hokage’s head* Shut up!

White Shinobi: This is too troublesome Chaos stop it.

Chaos: Meh since when do i listen to you?

White Shinobi: Since now!

Chaos: *stands up* Let’s find out if you are worthy of commanding me

Sothe: guys clear the field i can feel these guys are gonna fight!

Chaos & White Shinobi: Damn right we are!

They both try to kick at each others head but the legs block each other then chaos jumps back and send some fireballs who are easily dodged by jumping in the air.

Chaos: You can’t dodge in the air! Katon: Karyuudan!

White Shinobi: I wouldn’t bet your life on it!

A fire dragon races at White Shinobi but he uses a wind jutsu to push him around in the air dodging the dragon, then he builds up some huge chakra and launches himself high in the air.

White Shinobi: Swallow Dive!

White Shinobi comes crashing down at Chaos with amazing speed resulting a huge dust cloud. When it clears both are still standing without too much visible wounds. now they both rush at each other but they suddenly stop.

Chaos: That was close.

White Shinobi: Yea *punches the invisible wall before him and get’s burn on his hand*

Sothe: It seems i made it in time.

Mart: Why did you do that it was just getting interesting.

Sothe: They would’ve destroyed the whole freaking village if we let them continue.

Whitefanogkonaha: Well it’s getting kinda late let’s let those 2 just cool down in their barriers and then we go home

*some time later*

White Shinobi: Yo Chaos.

Chaos: What?

White Shinobi: Let’s get out this thing.

Chaos: You got a plan then?

White Shinobi: Yes i have been trying to neutralize this barrier for a while now and the key to get out is to freeze it.

Chaos: Then how do you plan on freezing this thing? it’s not like we know ice jutsu’s.

White Shinobi: *opens a scroll* I have some secrets, defrost me when i’m done. 

Chaos: Fine.

White Shinobi: Koori Nendai (Ice Age)

Ice spreads form the scroll and covers the barrier that get cracks Chaos then breaks it and defrosts White Shinobi with a fire jutsu.

Chaos: Finally we got some room to spread our legs.

White Shinobi: Yeah

Chaos: But what kind of technique was that?

White Shinobi: Ah this scroll is something from some village that has ice based jutsu and i just stole it for a mission and after i gave the scroll to the client he tried to kill me with it so i killed him instead and took the scroll with me, i have studied it but i still need its power to freeze big things like a barrier.

Chaos: Then you can freeze small things?

White Shinobi: Yes but it costs a lot of chakra

Chaos: Oh now i know why you never go on missions without your scrolls.

White Shinobi: That’s right i need them to use my full power, here you can have this one.

Chaos: *Takes the scroll* What power has this one?

White Shinobi: It is a weapon summoning that can store and summon 100 weapons each minute.

Chaos: That might come in handy.

White Shinobi: What’s going over there?

Some villagers are tied up with some ninja’s kicking them.

Chaos: Yo! why don’t you pick on someone your own size.

The ninja’s turn around and they’re moon ninja’s.

Ninja: You think you can beat us we have 10 men here and you are only with 2.

A window opens from a house.

Sothe: Can you guys shut up someone is trying to sleep here!

Ninja: Shut up! *throws a kunai*

Sothe jumps and lands next to Chaos

Sothe: How did you guys got out?

White Shinobi: Let’s lake care of these guys here first.

Chaos: Ws Sothe stay back i’m gonna try out that new power.

Chaos opens the scroll and summons a sword, one of the moon ninja attacks him but he blocks him then another moon ninja comes and chaos puts away his first sword and changes it to 2 axes and cuts both guys down.

Chaos: This scroll is pretty good.

White Shinobi: Chaos if you wrap the scroll around your arm you can move and summon the weapon s at the same time!

Chaos: Ok thanks!

Chaos grabs he scroll and wraps it around his arm then he jumps at the moon ninja’s and takes 2 of them down with 2 spears then 3 other ninja attack him but he summons 2 swords and takes them out with a technique he calls twister (he spins around with his swords and cuts the enemy) then 2 other ninja come at him but he plants a spear in the ground and kicks them away with a spinning kick.

Chaos: You’re the only one left.

Ninja: Don’t underestimate me.

The ninja grabs his sword and attacks Chaos who tries out something: he summons 5 spears and plants them in the ground in a pentagon shaped figure then he summons another spear and plants it in the middle and as soon as the ninja is in the pentagon he jumps and uses a lightning jutsu that hits the marked area.

White Shinobi: Nice fight i suggest you read this scroll here it tells you how to use it better.

Sothe: Why does he get a cool scroll and i don’t?

White Shinobi: I was planning on giving you this one you can wrap it around you arm too to use it better.

Sothe: Ok *wraps it around his arm*

The ninja is still alive and tries to attack Chaos but Sothe punches him and knocks him back, then he attack the ninja with some more taijutsu attacks and each time he uses one he sees something 10 feet away from him and he jumps back and tries to kick the ninja who is 10 feet away from him and an illusion of sothe appears in front of the ninja and kicks him away.

Sothe: So that’s the scrolls power? it creates an illusion of myself a bit away from me and attacks the enemy at my will.

*Sokka appears at the scene*

Sokka: Ah so it were you guys who are causing trouble again.

White Shinobi: It was their fault *points at the ninja*

Sokka: *looks at the ninja* Oh so he was still alive after my attack on him *all ninjas disappear in a puff of smoke*

Sothe: They disappeared!

Sokka: It were clones and a powerful ones too, the real one must be close be on your guard

5 ninja attack them but get pierced by a shadow.

Sokka: Ah so you came too?

Shika: I was curious too, what’s going on?

Chaos: We’re under attack.

*At the moon country there is a meeting with the kage and the top 10 ninja’s*

Tsukikage: *walks at number 8* Yumi havent i told you that this meeting isn’t for you?

Yumi: *transforms back* But i thought since 8 was away i could take his place.

Ninja(6): Yumi-chan you should know it doesn’t work like that.

Ninja(4): Yumi you will need to die.

The number 4 ninja jumps at Yumi and tries to hit her but a kunoichi with number 2 on her cheek catches his arm and throws him at the wall.

Ninja(1): Yumi is wrong but if you kill her we will lose a strong ninja and we can’t afford to lose ninja in these times.

Ninja(4): Like i care, don’t act all high and mighty just because of that 1 you got on your back brat.

Tsukikage: Stop it all of you or you might die next time.

Ninja(9): More importantly where is number 8 now?

Tsukikage: Since he’s a specialist in clone jutsu’s i thought he might be the best person to gather information on the enemy and try to recruit some new members now let’s put the plan in motion.

*back to Shannaro*

Chaos: Look up there.

Sokka: Is it the enemy?

Chaos: No they are 3 gennins from here.

The ninja appears behind the gennins and tells them to say goodbye.

Mart: I got nothing to say

Iruka: Same here.

Ikamuzu Oturan: Sephiroth senpai i know you’re here somewhere i just want to say thanks that you taught me some good jutsu’s!

ninja: Let’s go then

Chaos: Stop!

The ninja makes 200 clones to keep everyone busy so they can escape but they get stopped by

J-sama and 3 KAEB (Shadow assassination squad(in other words the anbu from Shannaro)) ninja’s.

J: Not so fast

 To be Continued

The gennins have made up their minds and have joined the moon country but J-sama is here to save the day if it’s good or bad news it’s up to you to decide. next time: J-sama’s decision.
