Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy:The Life of a Shinobi

Rival Destinies

Chunin Exams Finals Arc Part 1: Team Ed reunite! Time to see the results of 6 months of training.

The sun rose over the Hidden Peach village dying the sky a beautiful orange. Despite the sun's rising the village was still quiet as the locals were still sleeping. After all it was only 5:45 am. The only sounds you can hear was the birds tweeting and the wind rustling the peach trees.

"AHHHHH YEAH! IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK!" Eddy shouted while walking down the streets. Abruptly the back of his head was smacked by Panomaru.

"Eddy, shut up! People are trying to sleep." Panomaru scolded the Hidden Peach shinobi.

"Ouch! You didn't need to hit me so hard." Eddy complained. He still wore the same clothes as he did before but sports tape on both hands. "I am just excited to be back!" Eddy still shouted loudly. "I am so pumped for these Chunin Exams."

"We still have one week until the opening ceremony!" Panomaru told Eddy. "So don't think you will get to relax until then. And although it's a team effort remember they are going base it on how well you individually perform."

"Don't worry. I will be the star of the show anyway!" Eddy spoke smugly. Panomaru sighed in response.

"Well, go home, change your clothes and rest. Meet me at the Momonokage's office at 6:15 am!" Panomaru told them.

"Yes, sensei!" Eddy saluted before parting ways with his sensei.

6:11 am - Eddy's house.

"Ahhhh!" Eddy sighed out of relaxation as exited the shower entering his room. All had on was a white towel wrapped around his waist as he causally whistled as he dressed into a fresh pair of clothings. "Alright! I can't wait to show Ed, Sockhead and Kanon my new ninjutsu!" Eddy was excited before tying his black forehead protector onto his left arm before walking up to a mirror where a picture of Edmund and a younger version of himself was resting stuck on the reflective surface.

"Don't worry bro! I will find you and bring you back home!" Eddy muttered with a passionate tone in his voice. Eddy then looked at himself in the mirror with his usual smug face.

"Ok, handsome! Let's go introduce the Third Momonokage to the Fourth Momonokage! Me!" Eddy winked at himself.

"So you come back after 6 months without even saying hello." Eddy turned around to source of the voice to see his father, Tommy.

"Dad?! What are you doing home?! You are usually busy on missions?!" Eddy said in a surprised tone.

"I came here to see my son return a man! Although you haven't grown that much." Tommy mocked causing Eddy to blush.

"Hey, I have grown in a different sense! I now know a vast ocean of jutsu!" Eddy boasted.

"Is that so…" Tommy said turning away from Eddy. "Tora → Tatsu → Mi → Saru → Mi → Ne LIGHTNING STYLE: LIGHTNING WHIP!" Tommy rapidly rotated clockwise resulting in the Lightning Whip in his right hand to hurdle towards Eddy's face.

"LIGHTNING STYLE: LIGHTNING CUTTER JUTSU!" Eddy rapidly slashed upwards slicing the whip in half with his glowing right hand.

"Oh, your reflexes have improved!" Tommy was astonished by Eddy as the lightning that encased his hands slowly dimmed away.

"You bet dad!" Eddy smiled at his father. "Watch me become a Chunin!" Eddy roared. "Oh, what's the time?"

"Errr...6:14 am." Tommy replied.

"Crap! I am going to be late!" Eddy shouted before rushing past his father resulting in Tommy sighing. If only Edmund could see you now. Edmund thought smiling as his son rushed out the house.

"I can't be late!" Eddy moaned as rushed through the empty streets of the Hidden Peach Village. Eventually after weaving through many streets and alleyways he arrived at the Momonokage's office.

"Sorry I am late Momono…" Eddy stopped his speech as he bursted into the office. At the desk was the Third Momonokage himself, Rairal sitting at the desk. To his left stood Kanon and Ed and to his right Jitsuko, Edd and Panomaru stood.

"Fashionably late as usual, Eddy." Edd spoke with a slight smile to his face. His clothes were similar prior to the six months training session only this time he wore pitch black gloves and on the rim of his hat was his headband.

"EDDY!" Ed exclaimed before rushing towards Eddy and hugging him intensely. "I missed you so much!" Ed started crying as Eddy slowly turned red resulting in Edd and Kanon to sigh. Ed's clothing was the exact same but his hair was at longer.

"Ed...get off me!" Eddy shoved Ed's face resulting in Ed to release his grasps.

"Eddy, you are late!" Rairal complained. "But considering I still owe you from completing that C-Rank mission in the Land of Candy I will let it slide." Rairal became more friendly as Panomaru now stood next to him.

"Oh yeah I remember now! You said you will give us harder missions since we completed it!" Eddy recalled smiling.

"Yes I did! Anyway since you are all here I need to tell you about the importance of the Chunin Exams." Rairal told them. "Other nations used the performance of the Village's students as a basis of how strong the next generation of the Village will be. It is important you do will. Understand?"

"Aye!" Ed, Edd and Eddy understood.

"I mean as soon as Bucky and Kevin heard about you leaving the village to train, they went mad and also left the village to train." Rairal said speaking to Eddy. "It's good to see that you all are taking this seriously!"

"Do not Rairal! My pupils have been trained by some of the best!" Kanon told him.

"Ah thanks Kanon!" Jitsuko said smiling.

"I hope so!" Rairal stood up. "I have some important business to take care of. Make sure you are not late for the opening ceremony of the Chunin Exams." Rairal was aiming that comment Eddy before departing his office.

"Kanon sensei! Long time no see!" Eddy greeted his sensei.

"Same to you Eddy! I hope Panomaru trained you well!" Kanon spoke. "Because I want to see the results of your training." Kanon smiled now speaking to all three of his students.

"That sounds intriguing! But how do you intend to test us?" Edd asked his sensei.

"Obviously I can't test you because I was training Ed, so who better to test you than your peers." Kanon smiled before four shinobis appeared at the door to the office.

"Ed! Mum says that you should tidy your room after your spar match!" Sarah exclaimed. Jimmy and Saku stood besides her with their sensei Takuma behind the trio.

"Spar match?" Edd and Eddy looked at Ed confused.

"That's right! My pupils versus yours Kanon!" Takuma declared confidently.

"I know you guys have been training but we have been training too!" Saku smiled.

"Yeah! We're going give you the old one- two, buckle my shoe!" Jimmy added.

"Oh now this got interesting!" Eddy smiled.

"Oi Kanon! Bring your pupils to the orchards east of the village." Takuma instructed.

"Sure thing…" Kanon replied before Takuma and her students departed the office. Eventually Team Ed, Kanon, Panomaru and Jitsuko left the office and started walking down the mostly empty streets of the Hidden Peach

"Okay, Eddward! You show them your new skills okay!" Jitsuko was giving Edd a pep talk.

"I will Jitsuko-sensei." Edd replied.

"Don't go all out…" Jitsuko added. "We don't want them to know your secret moves!" Jitsuko whispered to Edd who nodded.

"Do not worry sensei! I will limit myself!" Edd replied.

"Eddy, don't be stupid like usual!" Panomaru advised.

"Are you not coming to see me kick some ass!" Eddy asked looking very confidently.

"I have more important things to do!" Panomaru replied causing Eddy to be slightly annoyed.

"What can be more important than watching your student!" Eddy bellowed in a vexed tone.

"Shut up, they are people still sleeping!" Panomaru scolded smacking Eddy in the head. "I have to attend to something important!"

"Owww!" Eddy moaned rubbing his head.

"But good luck and I will be there to see you in the Chunin Exams!" Panomaru grinned at his student before turning down another alleyway separating from the group.

"Don't worry Eddy! I will be there to support you!" Jitsuko smiled at Eddy.

"Thanks, err…"

"Jitsuko Chishiki." Edd completed Eddy's sentence.

"Well we will need a referee so you will probably will have to stay neutral." Kanon told Jitsuko resulting in the Jounin to be disappointed.

"Awww...I wanted to support you guys." Jitsuko complained. "That's not fair….oh well it brings me back when I used to be a regulator of the Chunin Exams."

"You were a regulator person!" Ed was shocked.

"Sure was! When the Hidden Peach hosted the Chunin Exams three years ago I regulated the Second stage! It wasn't as difficult as your Chunin Exams though but that's why people were saying this is going to be the best Chunin Exams ever!"

"Why is that sensei?" Edd replied.

"The Chunin Exams this year are a lot harder than previous ones so people believe that the quality of the participants will be higher." Jitsuko explained.

"Well, we will give 'em a Chunin Exams they won't forget!" Eddy grinned.

"YEAH! FOR GRAVY!" Ed roared.

"Some things never change…" Edd sighed.

"Oh and Eds, one more thing…." Kanon spoke to the Eds before they nodded in agreement.

6:21 am - The East Orchards near the Hidden Peach

"Alright guys! Let's have a nice fair match!" Jitsuko spoke out as Ed, Edd and Eddy stood adjacent to Sarah, Saku and Jimmy respectively. "Begin!" Jitsuko indicated.

"SUMMONING JUTSU!" Jimmy and Saku simultaneously bit their right thumb before slamming it into the ground resulting in two puffs of smoke to appear. The smoke cleared revealing a blue teddy bear in front of Jimmy and a blue personified frog which was standing on two feet.

"Let's go Mr Yum Yum!" Jimmy called out.

"Krono let's do this!" Saku told the dark blue frog. He was alot taller than the last time the Eds saw him.

"U → Ino → Saru → Ne→Tori! EARTH STYLE: EARTH FOCUS BLAST!" Sarah shouted as she formed a green orb in her right hand made up of green particles and lunged towards Ed who quickly back stepped as Sarah dashed towards the retreating shinobi.

"Ushi → Tori → Ne →Tora → Tatsu → U → Ino EARTH STYLE: STONE EDGE JUTSU! " Ed chanted as sharp stones ripped from the ground as rushed towards Sarah.

"NINJA ART: STONE ARMOUR JUTSU!" In a similar fashion stones rushed from the ground and encased Sarah protecting her from the sharp stones but the stones had enough force to push her back a fair distance.

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Jimmy spoke as Mr Yum Yum did a handsign resulting in around 24 more Mr Yum Yums to appear in a puff of smoke surrounding Eddy who quickly withdrew not a golden kunai but a platinum kunai that glistened in the sun.

"Eddy? Where did you get that kunai from?" Kanon asked as the teddy bears charged and leaped at Eddy.

"Panomaru sensei gave it to me!" Eddy replied as he stabbed one of the bears in the chest resulting in it being encased in smoke. Eddy ducked and rolled before slashing several other bears in the their chest resulting in more smoke to appear.

"SAGE ART: CORROSIVE STARCH SYRUP GUN!" From Krono's mouth a pasty-looking cream fluid rushed towards Ed who sidestepped out of the way. The fluid hit a tree resulting in the tree to start smoking as the paste corroded away at it.

"Krono again!" Saku instructed resulting in another jet of the thick fluid to rush towards Edd who was running in a rightward direction.

"Kanon! It looks like my pupils have pushed yours into a corner!" Takuma spoke out to Kanon as Eddy was still slashing at the Mr Yum Yums while Edd was leaping around to avoid the corrosive fluid. Meanwhile Sarah was swinging several punches towards Ed.

"Ed, Edd and Eddy! DELTA!" Kanon spoke out causing all three Eds to grin.

"Aye, sensei!" Ed, Edd and Eddy replied simultaneously.

"DELTA?!" Takuma was confused.

"Mi → U → Ino → Saru → Ushi →Tori → Tatsu → Hitsuji EARTH STYLE: EARTH FOCUS BEAM!" Ed numerous several green particulates in the air which concentrated into an orb. Abruptly a green beam of energy smashed into Sarah from the orb pushing the female Tsuyosa back.

"LIGHTNING STYLE: LIGHTNING CUTTER JUTSU!" Eddy's right hand started sparking intensely. Eddy span around slashing numerous of the Mr Yum Yum bears before chucking his platinum kunai towards the real one which still was in front of Jimmy and impaled it in the chest. "LIGHTNING STYLE: FLYING LIGHTNING CUTTER JUTSU!" Just like the golden kunai, the platinum kunai had a thin wire which allow the Lightning Cutter's current quickly towards the impaled bear shocking him resulting in all the bear shadow clones vanished.

"MR YUM YUM!" Jimmy called out as Eddy now rushed towards Jimmy as Mr Yum Yum collapsed. "You'll pay for this! SUMMONING JUTSU!" Jimmy slammed both his hands into the ground resulting in a red Mr Yum Yum and a white Mr Yum Yum to appear in front of him. "Blaze Bear, Gust Bear! Fire" Jimmy instructed as Blaze Bear opened its mouth resulting in a waves of flames to rush towards Eddy while Gust Bear opened his mouth resulting in a swirl of wind which merged with the flames causing the flames to intensify.

" Tori → Mi → Ne → Mi → Tori WATER STYLE: WATER WALL!" Edd rapidly did hand signs before a huge wave of water rushed from Edd's mouth and clashed with the waves of flames causing enormous quantities of steam to be produced. "Tatsu → Tora → U WATER STYLE: RAGING WAVES!" A narrow beam of water rushed from Edd's mouth penetrating through the cloud of steam towards Jimmy. On contact the beam suddenly bursted releasing a huge wave pushing Jimmy back.

"Sarah!" Jimmy cried.

"Hold on Jimmy!" Sarah called out facing Jimmy.

"KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME AS I'M YOUR FOE!" Ed shouted now with a massive Earth Focus Blast in his right hand. "EARTH STYLE:BIG BALL FOCUS BLAST!" Ed smashed the orb into Sarah pushing her back.

"SAGE ART: CORROSIVE STARCH SYRUP GUN!" Krono jumped into air before another pasty jet rushed towards Edd and Eddy.

"WATER STYLE…"

"That's enough Edd! I don't want you too reveal too many jutsus!" Jitsuko interrupted.

"Don't worry sockhead, I got this covered." Eddy grinned as the corrosive paste of starch came closer. "Saru → Tori → Hitsuji → Mi WIND STYLE..."

"WIND STYLE?!" Takuma, Ed, Edd and Jitsuko called out in surprise. Kanon however was not shocked.

"WIND SHREDDER!" A powerful wind swirled around in a slashing manner in Eddy's left hand forming a sphere before he thrusted it into the corrosive paste parting the syrup. "BURST!" Eddy exclaimed as the concentrated winds in his palm were released from the sphere forming a horizontal wind column causing the jet of paste to be eradicated and it launched Saku and Krono like bullets resulting in them being slashed several times before being smashed into several trees.

"And that is this sparring session! No winner I just don't want any more secrets to be released." Jitsuko said as Takuma stood in shock.

"Delta was the code we agreed on earlier." Kanon told Takuma.

"Oh and Eds, one more thing. Hold back until I give you the signal. Delta." Kanon spoke as the Eds nodded.

Kanon recalled in his head. "Eddy! You learnt a new chakra nature?!" Edd asked Eddy who stood smugly.

"That was cool, like the time where the eight foot giraffe attacked…"

"Ed! Shut up…" Eddy pinched Ed's lips together resulting in Edd to grin. I missed this humour that my friends provide. Edd thought in his head as Takuma's pupils gathered themselves together.

"Oh yeah Kanon my pupils were holding back too! Yeah!" Takuma replied rather unconvincing.

"Yeah, fathead so don't get ahead of yourself!" Sarah mocked.

"What you say!" Eddy shouted resulting in an huge argument to occur.

"Look what you have done." Kanon sighed speaking to Takuma.

"What?! Don't blame me! I blame your sneaky tactics!" Takuma replied.

"Well at least it shows that they are ready for the Chunin Exams!" Jitsuko said rather enthusiastically.

9:11 am - Unknown location.

"How much longer…" Kilano spoke. He was standing in a dark but open cave.

"It's nearly complete…" Nao replied.

"Perfect. We will be ready for the Fifth Shinobi World War." Kilano remarked as he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan. "Why are you here..." Kilano turned seeing a mildly tanned skin, golden eyes, and silver hair which both slightly spikes. He wore a white shirt, which only reached to his thighs, a black vest with a high collar, long armbands which covered his forearms. "Miyamoto? You know I don't take kindly to traitors."

"You haven't changed at all, Miyamoto…" Nao remarked.

"I am not here to fight…just to talk." Miyamoto replied in a calm voice.

"We best hear him out…" Nao replied causing Kilano to retract his Mangekyō Sharingans.

"Fine...you may speak…." Kilano gave Miyamoto permission to speak.

A/N: Alright! First chapter of the new story done! Oh and read the prequel to this story if you have not done so.
