Just fyi shiis Japanese for death. At least that is what I read. And the shi-nin are a group of ninja I made up so have fun.

RAGE IN THE CAGE!

NARUTO VS THE SHI-NIN

"Malstaff light bringer of the Shi-nin we are displeased in your lack to provide us with the head of Hokage, for that you must suffer." I looked deep into the vortex of darkness that served at Shikage's eyes. Being a nearly dead leader gave him the ability to A) scare the Jesus out of me. And B) He could see anything around the world, so of course it would be really dumb to ask who told him of my failure. The black monk robes that he wore rustled around him.

"No Sir please I beg you it..its was not my fault you cannot expect me to kill them all just for one head. Sir the Anbu and the Hunter-nin both were there, the only way I can think of that happening is that someone tipped them off. Sir I beg your forgiveness." As I said this I was busy performing one-handed seals behind my back, hoping to lessen the pain of the attack I knew was coming.

"YOU HAVE FAILED ME ONCE AGAIN PREPARE TO SUFFER! CHIDORI!"

The wind attack hit me like a shuriken. It nailed me in the chest and sent me through a wall. Well at least I was alive, for now. Gingerly I stood up and walked back in through the hole I had just added to the wall.

"Sir I would like to..." at this point in time I keeled over on my knee puking up blood. I knew that was gonna happen. I thought to myself. "I would like to defend my ninja blood and track down the ninja that has been spying on me." Kneeling I looked up at my master. He held his katana in his hand and was deliberating on striking me.

"All right you will have one final chance however, If you fail, and I believe you will, you better pray that the enemy seals your eternal soul instead of letting you come back here. Now get out of my sight!" At this he grabbed me by the end of my long silver hair and tossed me out of the building. I landed sliding on my back and shredding my black trench coat, which by this time was stained in my blood. I stood up letting my hair regain it strait up spikiness. Me trench coat let the blood drip off before it healed.

"God, I love being undead." I looked at my coat sleeves where my leather bracers were. They were already tying themselves up and letting the bone spikes grow to their normal three-inch blades tearing though my skin and the bracers. It was abnormal pain but was worth it. These blades were what got me to Chunin level. "Okay you stupid spy I'm coming for you!" I shouted to no one in particular not really expecting an answer.

Much to my surprise I felt the sharp of a Kunai in my neck. I reached back and pulled the knife out of my spine. Turning around I saw a young man land on the ground. He had pointed yellow hair and an orange sweater on.

"I am Uzamaki Naruto and I will become the next Hokage. If you kill this one I will have no one to fight so prepare your self to die! KAGE BUSHIN!" at this the one became the many and I lost track of the real Naruto. This was a big mistake and I knew it. So now I had to prove myself.

"Naruto prove yourself for this battle you shall not walk away!"
