Battle 1: Enter Shonen Jump! The Beginning of Many Battles!
Battle Stadium, Tokyo
There was a huge crowd filling every seat in the audience. So huge, not even all the baseball fans could match up to this. Why the huge crowd you ask? Because today's the day; the day of the big fight. Not the UFC match (sorry MMA fans); One of the many battles between the unpredictable ninja, Naruto Uzumaki, and the Straw-hat pirate, Monkey D. Luffy, in the Shonen Jump Championship. The crowd roared for their favorite fighter, hoping to see one of the best hot-blooded brawls of the two representatives of the Ninja-Pirate rivalry. Sitting in a specially reserved seat were two young females: Hinata Hyuuga and Orihime Inoue.
"Hmm," Orihime whimpered with worry.
"What's wrong Orihime?" The blue-haired Hinata asked with concern. "I thought you would be happy that Naruto and Ichigo won't be fighting eachother."
"Oh no, Hinata. I am. It's just that…well…Luffy's very strong. I'm not so sure if Naruto can win. Or worse: he'll get seriously injured."
"…You know? I bet Naruto's thinking that right now. But you know what else? That's not going keep him down. No matter what disadvantages he is at, he always finds a way to conquer the challenge. I know he'll be fine."
"Well, yes. But…"
"Orihime, I'm glad you're concerned for Naruto. But, if there's anything I learned from him, it's that you also have to have faith and believe in that person."
Orihime, after hearing Hinata's words, suddenly got a picture of Ichigo in her mind, and her face softened up and made a smile.
"Right. Thanks, Hinata."
"No problem. Now let's get back to watching this fight. I'm sure Naruto's going to make it exciting."
"Yeah," Orihime replied, as she and Hinata returned their attention to the stadium. In the center was a woman with red hair, wearing a white shirt and a magenta cape, a teal skirt, black stockings, magenta boots, and fox-like ears and a tail standing on a hovering platform. Her name: Koto- the announcer of the fight.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Humans and Demons, and fighting fans of any gender or species, welcome to the Shonen Jump Championship!" She announced in her microphone, receiving a roaring cheer from the audience. "I'm glad you're as excited as I am, because we're about to show you one of the many heated battles of one of the most heated rivalries in the universe of Shonen Jump! Now, let's introduce our two warriors!"
Koto then pointed to an enormous arena platform with four animal shaped platforms on each side: A dragon on the east side, a tiger on the west, phoenix on the south, and tortoise on North. Surrounding this platform is a wide stream of water, with four strange devices connected into a ring. It was then that somebody blasted of from the side of the arena and landed stylishly on the dragon platform.
"On the Eastern Dragon side: Hailing from the Village Hidden in the Leaves; Container of the fearsome Nine-Tailed Fox; Son of the Fourth Hokage; Disciple of Jiraiya, the Toad Sage; recently defeating the 'god,' Pain; and heir to the Will of Fire! With fearlessness, unpredictability, and fierce determination, this blond and badass ninja will take on any challenge! Please, give a round of applause for Naruto Uzumaki!"
As soon as Koto said his name, Naruto stood up straight while his fans roared and cheered him on. He stood with his black Hitae-ate on his forehead, wearing a black t-shirt with a red spiral on the front under an orange, open sleeveless vest with a blue flame design, black, fingerless shinobi gloves, arm wrappings, orange pants with more blue flames, a black kunai holster on the right side, leg wrappings, black shinobi sandals, and a giant scroll on his back. He grinned as his fans continued cheering.
"Alright! I'm ready to run wild!" He yelled as he pumped his fist toward the audience and flashed his famous fox grin. This caused all of his fans to cheer even more. Even Koto giggled and blushed a little. Her foxy side was really attracted to that grin. She then shook it off and continued her announcement.
"My, this handsome ninja sure is confident, but will it be enough to conquer this juggernaut?"
As soon as she was finished, a pair of stretchy arms grabbed onto the tiger platform, and reeled-in a young man who flipped forward and landed on top.
"On the Western Tiger side: arriving from the many seas; captain of the Straw-hat pirates; Grandson and disciple of super-marine, Monkey D. Garp; Son of the revolutionary, Monkey D. Dragon; recently escaping the dreaded Impel Down; and enemy of the world government. With great strength and a rubber body to match, there is very little that would stop this fierce pirate; put your hands together for Monkey D. Luffy!"
Luffy stood just as Naruto did. He had his traditional straw hanging behind him on his neck. He had a green sleeveless button vest with a white basket-ball shirt underneath, inscribed with "01", and wearing black ruffled shorts and sandals on the bottom. Aside from that were also white hand-wraps on his arms. Luffy looked at the audience and smiled.
"Oh yeah! I'm hungry for a brawl!" He shouted as he pounded his fists together. This had the same effect on Luffy's fans as it did on Naruto's.
"Even with mutual respect and no hostility, these two have been mercilessly trading blows since the day they met just to prove who is superior: the ninja or the pirate. I hope they fostered that fighting spirit so we can have one hell of a show!" Koto exclaimed, making the audience give their thunderous applause. As she said that, Naruto and Luffy walked to the center, giving each-other a confident smirk. You could tell by the look on their faces that it was calm before the storm of their blazing rivalry. Koto hovered her platform down to the center of the arena and began to speak with the two.
"Alright, you two, here are the rules: This arena is surrounded by water with four electric chargers on each side. Since Naruto can be electrocuted and bodies of water turn against Luffy, either of you will lose this fight if you land outside. You can also win if you knock your opponent unconscious or if they are down while I count for a full ten seconds. Other than that, it's no holds barred, so you can do anything you want. Understand?"
"Got it," they both replied, with neither of them loosing their cool. Naruto and Luffy then turned around and walked back to their respective sides, and turned back around to stare each other down. Both of them knew that a fool would underestimate either one of them, so they had to be prepared for any thing. After all, this will be their toughest battle yet. What they didn't know, however, that this was only the beginning.
A/N: Thank you for reading my first chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. Remember, this is my first fanfic. I will accept reviews that show what is wrong so that I can try to improve. I don't own the anime characters. They belong to their respective creators. I don't own Super Smash Bros. Brawl either. If I did, I would replace Captain Olimar with someone way better.
