Hey, it's me Ashikage bringing you a chapter from the new story Final Strike.
I got inspiration from reading FredTheAlmighty's The Galaxy's Strongest Biotic fan fiction so it's thanks to him that I was able to make a story of my own. So Fred if you're reading this story, I'm giving you a big shout out for the inspiration.
Moving on, I've decided that the story would need a theme song, so I chose the song:
Final Striker by Plasma3Music on YouTube. The video link is on my profile, if you want to listen to the song it's there. And if you're also reading this Plasma3Music I'm also giving you a big shout out.
Disclaimer: Don't own anything to do with Naruto or anything else in this story.
Now as for the story:
I'm going to try and make the chapters have 4,000 to 10,000 words minimum each. Now as far as the chapters go, I'm going to try and reach at least twenty chapters. Each chapter that I post (and depending on if I have time to write it or not) will be out every one to two weeks. This will give me enough time to type it out and read through it and see if it's good or not. The story I'll admit may or may not be good for some of you viewing this, so feel free to give me any helpful hints on how to make it a lot better.
Now without further ado, I give you the epic tale Final Strike...
Final Strike
Chapter One
Rebirth of a Heroine
Konoha was asleep with the crickets chirping and the nocturnal animals out. All was quiet in every villager's house or apartment, all except for one. This one apartment lie in the slummy part of Konoha and was inhabited by the village pariah, Akana Uzumaki. Akana was shifting in her bed and she tossed and turned inside her bed. She had beads of sweat going down the sides of her head and the sweat wet the bed she was sleeping in. She was saying "no" over and over, again and again. This was a sign that she was having a horrible nightmare. This nightmare that she was having was certainly different than the ones she normally had on her birthday, which was today. No this dream she was having involved strange looking aliens and people that looked like her. They could wield strange powers.
On the outside her body was glowing a light green that was greatly increasing in power. The glow intensified as the nightmare progressed. In her left hand hidden under the pillow she had her hand on was a glowing green orb. The orb wasn't really an orb but an organic sphere made of an alien entity and it was empowering Akana's strange power she had no idea she was producing. Soon a low but light pulse, pulsed out from Akana and the orb making everything in the vicinity start to shake. Each pulse went over everything around her room and anything around it. Akana's body slowly started to age as each pulse ran out of her body.
With each pulse she grew into more of an adult woman. The night continued to pass as her age skyrocketed from her normal prepubescent thirteen year old to an adult 21 year old. The process was slow and long as it had to accommodate everything Akana's body had to go through in a normal puberty. By the time it was done her clothes except the ones covering her private areas was shredded. Her breasts had grown to a small C to a large pair of DD's. Her hips and shoulders formed the perfect hourglass figure. Her legs were long and slender but had a bit of muscle to them. Her arms were also long and slender with a bit of muscle on them. By the time the process was finished one massive pulse was let out shaking the entire village awake. By the time anybody got a chance to check it out they would only spot a small amount of residual light green energy. The rest of the morning proceeded without much incident and the nightmare Akana was having was silenced when the pulses ended and she slept blissfully unaware of the changes that had happened.
Just when you thought that the changes were complete something else happened. Something was coming out of the orb and onto Akana herself. The goo as it was called pulsed with green energy as if it were made of cybernetics. This cybernetic goo went all over her body and seeped into the pores of her skin and fusing her body with it. While that was being done the cybernetic goo spread across her skin and formed a very light weight but very durable armor that was black in color had lines of light green light going down the front and back of both her legs and arms. The lights went towards the center of her chest and upper back. Slowly the go began to solidify into the hard plastic her armor was made of. Also a helmet formed around her head made of the same type of material. It had glowing light green T-shaped visor with two lights on the sides where her ears were at.
The last thing we would see were strange looking weapons forming at her hips. They were small and compact and had a small barrel. A magazine full of bullets stuck out from the grip where the trigger was placed in front of. An additional grip was directly in front of the trigger and was folded up. The same light green lights went the length of the weapon, on the sides, and down the rear grip. (These are my futuristic MP7s).
Also another much longer looking weapon with a longer barrel. It had a scope and looked like a sniper rifle. A suppressor was put in place of the muzzle brake to provide some reduced noise. The same green lights from her armor and her new weapons went the same way the other guns did. (Futuristic Barrett M107). The rifle went across her back and in a 110 degree fashion. However, the way it was placed, didn't seem to affect the way she was sleeping. It was like she was peacefully sleeping.
The night soon jumped to morning and we find Akana waking up to a much different feeling across her body. She looked down and noticed right away that she wasn't wearing what she was supposed to be wearing. For some reason she felt like she was much more powerful in this, suit of armor. She got off the bed she slept on last night and saw the height difference straight away. Whereas before she was 4'3", now she was what, 5'9" wearing a strange suit of armor and strange weapons that made her feel like she had had them forever. She felt so empowered by this armor. She wondered what it could do for her.
She focused her chakra and felt it had grown massively and that she suddenly could mold it better than used to and by a greater margin. She opened her eyes after focusing her chakra and saw that it was, visible in a light green color. It was going around her arms in a fiery like way. She decided to test out this new power at the training grounds. Her eyes widened as a memory came back to her. 'The team meeting is today. I completely forgot.' Without even realizing what she was doing Akana sprinted out of her room and through the wooden door which broke apart as she barreled right through it. She jumped onto the rooftops of several apartments across the dusty street. She landed with the grace of a cat and jumped onto the next one. She continued this way of travel until she made it to the trees.
Meanwhile Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi were all busy waiting for Akana to arrive at the training ground. Yesterday Kakashi had told his students to meet back here at six in the morning. Surprisingly Kakashi had arrived on time with Sasuke and his follower, Sakura. Kakashi checked the time. He shook his head. 'She's two hours late.' He smiled. 'She must want to be like me.' He giggled to himself. Suddenly Kakashi stiffened as he felt a presence coming towards the training ground. He could detect the chakra a mile away it was so big. He looked down at his two students. They were on their knees and noticed his knees were almost visibly shaking. Though another look at the presence he felt that it was. His eyes widened, this chakra signature was Akana's. But how had it gotten so large during one night. It was a total mystery to him. He would need to investigate later.
Suddenly Akana landed on the ground in front of them. She was certainly… different if the word was right. She wore a strange black and green armor with weird looking weapons on her person. She was also surrounded by this light green aura which made her look intimidating. Akana noticed that when she landed right in front of her teammates and sensei that they were struggling to stay up. Kakashi was sweating and so were her other two teammates. She toned down the power output and they were back to normal within a second though the green aura remained but was slowly dissipating.
The next thing she knew she was being yelled at by Sakura, for being late and scarring her precious Sasuke-kun. She simply pushed the girl aside and walked straight up to Kakashi. "Sorry I'm late." She said in an embarrassing manner. Her voice had changed as well and the team seemed to notice. "I got lost on the road of life." Kakashi chuckled and rubbed her head. "Taking after me I see." He said seemingly forgetting what had just transpired. Then Kakashi asked a question about her new get up. Sakura and Sasuke were also interested as they expressed themselves.
"Where did you get that thing Akana?" Sasuke asked curiously. "Yeah." Sakura followed. She replied with, "I don't know. I just woke in it. Though it feels like I've worn it forever." Kakashi just shrugged while Sakura and Sasuke wanted to know more about it. Kakashi could quickly see a fight getting ready to come into play so he quickly changed the subject.
"Now that we're all here. I have something for each of you." He opened one of his many pockets on his flak jacket and pulled out several white sheets of paper. He gave them to each of his students. Then he said, "These are forms for the chuunin exams. If you're interested in applying just sign on the dotted line at the bottom and then turn them into the academy at 1:00. Ja ne." He disappeared with a puff of smoke and they looked at each other. That was when Akana noticed the time on her visor's HUD. "Shit!" She cursed. "We only have fifteen minutes to get there." This caused her other two teammates to scream out a very loud ear shattering, "WHAT!" which caused several birds to fly away and scare away a certain black cat who had decided it was going to explore a bit more of Konoha. "We don't have enough time to get there on foot." Not even caring if they were interested or not, she took them both onto her shoulders and suddenly the green aura sprang up again. "Hang on!" She yelled as she disappeared in a flash of green light.
Several seconds later they arrived at the academy in a flash of green light in front of several shaken up people applying for the exams. They were shaken up because there was a monumental flash of green light which blinded anyone who hadn't covered their eyes in time, but only for a few short seconds. She dropped them both to the floor making them go, "Ooof" in the process. Akana spotted several people glancing at her from across the room. They wore a get up typically worn by Sand Ninja. There was one with short, spiky red hair, one with long platinum blond hair that was tied in a pony tail, and one with spiky black hair that was covered up with a black hood over it.
They wore Sand Ninja headbands showing everyone that they were from the Sand Village, Suna. She took the time to take in more of their features. The spiky black haired kid wore some type of black ninja garb with purple face paint over his face. He had charcoal brown eyes and an arrogant face. He also had what looked like a wrapped up person on his back. The blonde girl wore what looked like a light purple ninja dress, with a fishnet shirt under it. A red Obi sash was around her waist. She also wore black open toed ninja sandals. A giant fan was placed squarely in between her shoulders. She had black colored eyes with blond hair in a pony tail. Her ninja headband was around her neck. The third one was among the creepiest of the three. He wore a blood red battle kimono with a dark gray vest over it. On his back was a gourd with a cork in the opening. The gourd was strapped to the back of his vest and lay in a 45 degree angle clockwise position. He had dark shadows around his eye that suggested he hadn't had any sleep in a long time. His eyes took on a teal color and held much hatred in them.
By the time she was done looking over them her other two teammates had already turned in their papers and suggested Akana to do the same. She signed her paper and gave it to the chuunin sitting at the desk and turned with her teammates. Before she turned around she was told what room they were supposed to go to in order to take the exam. She thanked him and quickly join up with her teammates who were waiting by the door. She needed to get out of there. The curious looks everybody gave her made her feel uncomfortable. They walked down the hall and up two flights of stairs before coming to a large group of genin standing in front of a door with two chuunin standing guard. Everybody was complaining to let them in but Akana saw through the illusion right away and was the first to respond.
"Hey why don't you take off the illusions." She said making them nervous. She their pupils dilate. "Don't lie to me. Take them off. I know we haven't been up three flights of stairs yet." Their nervousness got the best of them and they dispelled their illusion on the door and themselves revealing them to be just any other genin. Akana and her team continued on up a third flight of stairs where they entered a hall and met Kakashi standing in front of a door.
He was reading his smutty book, like always. He only looked up when they stopped. "Good. You're all here." He put his book away and leaned back against the wall. "What do you mean, sensei?" asked Sakura curiously. He smiled under his mask. "If you three hadn't arrived here together I wouldn't have let you in. If one of your teammates doesn't show up with their team then they won't be able to take the exam." He said as he stood up and walked towards them. "All you have to be here together, because you all are a team. Remember, those who abandon the mission are trash, but those who abandon their teammates are worse than trash. May Kami smile upon you in hopes that you won't fail." He said that last part a bit religiously. Then he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Akana looked at her teammates and they looked at her. She nodded and went towards the door where she put her hands on it along with Sakura and Sasuke.
Together they pushed open the door and walked into a room with a hundred or so other genin in it. Upon walking through the doors all eyes were on them but only briefly. Akana walked further into the room warranting the attention of many of the genin. By this time Ino had jumped onto Sasuke's back which made go, "What the!" Akana turned around to see Ino on her teammate. She chuckled at the sight.
Ino was just like Sakura in a way. She wore a purple tank top with matching color shorts, white tape was around her thigh and her head band was around her waist. Her platinum blond hair was tied in a pony tail and down to her mid back. Both Ino and Sakura were rivals ever since they started the academy with Sasuke Uchiha. They both had long hair, because that was what they heard he liked when they were younger. Whereas Ino wore purple Sakura wore a scarlet red dress with the Haruno clan symbol on the front. Sasuke preferred his tan shorts and dark blue shirt with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back over anything else, clothing wise.
"Get off of him Ino pig!" yelled Sakura as Ino was on her love's back. The two were about to go at it but they were broken up by another voice. "Leave 'em alone Ino." This one belonged to Shikamaru who was the apparent strategist of Team Ten or Team Asuma. "Man this sucks. This whole exam sucks. Too Troublesome." He would've continued to berate about how the exam sucked but he noticed something odd about Team Seven. "Hey, where's Akana? Isn't she supposed to be here." He asked the group. Suddenly another voice interrupted them. "Probably Chickened out eh Shikamaru."
Akana made her presence known to the group by teleporting behind them. "Or better yet she's right behind you." Before anyone realized what had happened Kiba was flat on his face knocked out. Akamaru was nudging his fallen partner who woke up a second later. "Man what hit me?" Kiba asked as he felt like he was run over by a truck. He was helped to his feet by his teammates, Hinata and Shino. "Kiba-san you should watch who you insult. It could get you killed." Shino said logically. Akana teleported in the center of the group after having seemingly disappeared from them. "I'm right in front of you." She said as she stood up her helmet's faceplate opening up. They took in her much more mature look and finally took the time to notice what she looked like. Needless to say some of the guys fell right over with blood running down their noses.
She shook her head saying, "Guys, never learn do they." She closed up her face plate. Shikamaru stood up after having been knocked out do to the nose bleed he just had from looking at Akana. He noticed the strange weapons on her waist and back and asked, "Hey Akana what are those?" He gestured to the weapons on her person. "Oh those, they're guns. They kill with bullets which are these things." She pulled out a small bullet and showed it to them before putting it back in a seemingly nonexistent pocket.
Suddenly yet another voice called out, "Hey you guys shouldn't be making such a racket. It attracts unwanted attention." They saw another genin. He wore glasses over his eyes. He also wore black pants and shirt, black shinobi sandals, and black shinobi gloves. He had a pouch on his left hip with a white sash going wrapping around his waist. "Who are you?" Sakura asked. The gray haired genin looked back at the pink haired girl and said, "I'm Kabuto. I'm a veteran of these exams." "So this is your second time." He answered with a subtle, "Nope. It's seventh time taking these exams." Akana looked at Kabuto with curiosity in her eyes. 'No one should be taking an exam that many times. That's unless…' Her eyes widened as realization donned on her. Thankfully she had her helmet on otherwise Kabuto would know that he was caught.
'I see, so that's your game. What are you really up to Kabuto?' She thought narrowing her eyes. "Wow, so you must know a lot about these exams?" Ino asked him with awe. He smiled, pushed his glasses up, and pulled out some cards. "What're those Kabuto-san?" Sakura asked. He looked up while he set the cards on the floor. "These are ninja info cards. They tell you what you want to know about the nations, specific ninja, and even a specific thing." He showed a chart of the Great Ninja Nations as well as the Lesser Ninja Nations. It also showed the amount of ninjas attending the exam and the breakdown of each nation. "See. This is a chart of the Elemental Countries and the amount of chuunin hopefuls attending the exams as well as each of the nations info and breaks them down into an easily readable chart." 'Course the downside of those cards is you need to update them every so often.' Thought Akana.
"So you could also, say, have info on a certain individual." Sasuke stated. "Of course." Nodded Kabuto. "Then show me Rock Lee of the Leaf, Gaara of the Desert, and Uzumaki Akana of the Leaf." Sasuke said smugly. Kabuto smiled. "You already have the names, this should be easy." He drew three cards. "Lee's up first. He's a year older than you, has exceptional Taijutsu skills, his Genjutsu and Ninjutsu skills are nonexistent. He's completed 20 D-rank missions and 12 C-rank missions. He as well as his teammates, Neji Hyuuga, and Ten Ten, are students of Might Guy. He gained the attention as a talented genin but did not participate in the exam. This is also his first time taking the chuunin exams. That's it for Lee." He placed that card in the deck and took a look at Gaara's.
"Next up is Gaara of the Desert. His mission history has 8 C-rank missions, 1 B-rank mission, that is certainly interesting. He's a new comer so I don't have much information on him but it seems that every mission he's taken he always comes back without a scratch." He placed that card in the deck and took a look at Akana's. "Let's see Akana. Her mission history includes thirty D-rank missions, 12 C-rank missions, 8 B-rank missions, 6 A-rank missions, and…" Kabuto stopped. His eyes were widened with shock. "What is it?" Ino asked. "10 SSS-rank missions." This made the entire room go wide eyed and look at Akana in fear. Kabuto looked up at the girl in black and green armor before he looked down at his card. The entire room was silent with shock and fear. Even Akana's teammates looked at her with fear.
"It also says that with each and every mission she's been on, people have always reported her using some sort of green energy." "What green energy?" asked the entire Rookie 9. Akana sighed. They wanted the truth. She should've seen it coming a mile away. "This green energy." The lines on her armor glowed brightly before her body started to take on a green hue. Fiery green energy sprang up from her arms, legs, and body. Suddenly an astral Representation appeared before them. But it didn't exactly take the form of Akana. It took the form of a green nine tailed fox. The fox began to solidify in front of the genin until it took the shape of a green furred fox.
The fox looked to be as big as a horse. "Akana-sama…" It said in a rumbling but feminine voice. If the shock they were going through right now wasn't enough to make them fall over dead then nothing will. Akana stopped glowing and fell to the floor but before that could happen the fox caught her with one of its 20 ft tails. "Kyuubi?" She asked the fox. "It's just mom, Akana."
Cliffhanger! Hahahahaha I'm so evil to do that.
Anyway enough fun. I wonder what yall think of it. Good…bad you choose.
Now as far as that last snippet goes, I'm gonna stick with a concept I've been wanting to put into one of my stories for a while now. That is Kyuubi being Akana's mother. As I'm sure by the time you finish reading the chapter you'll be having some questions. Well whatever they are PM them to me and I'll do my best to answer them.
Now I hope yall have enjoyed the story thus far and I hope yall could post a review and see what you think about it.
Now with that being said, I'm going to busy with my Mid Term Exams on the Friday of this week and the Monday and Tuesday of next week, so I don't know if I'm going to put in any chapters. But I will do what I can with the story.
Also Chapter four of Wrath of the Diclonius Queen is now in the works. Hopefully it will be up by next week. Also The Lilium Goddess chapter one will be in the works after I post the fourth chapter of WOTDQ. So expect to see a chapter from TLG.
Its been fun thus far and I hope to see yall post some good (or bad ) reviews.
This is Ashikage signing off.
