TRAINING COMPLETE
In a testing area at NERV headquarters, Rei sits in the cockpit of her EVA while waiting for it to activate and do as ordered to pilot unit 00. The young woman listens to NERV personal go on about the conditions of the EVA and herself, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen. No sooner had she had these thought, the cockpit goes into a red alert and the machine she is piloting is going out of control. Desperately trying to take back control of unit 00 she uses all she can at that moment, but the EVA refuses to listen and bucks her in the seat left and right, making her body fling around while being secured on the cockpit seat.
Now during these moments she came to realize that this was a memory of her past at the time unit 00 went berserk and so right at the moment she remembered that, the entry plug was ejected and had her rocketing to the end of the top corner of the room while the EVA was pounding its fist into the test room's wall. When the entry plug came crashing down, she got the same sensation of pain when it hit the ground floor. What she expected then was to see the cold-hearted bastard that actually tried to save her, just so he would know that his 'doll' was unharmed for his future plans, the hatch then opened in a bright light. Like before she expected to see Gendo, but that was not what had come into view.
"Rei, are you okay?" the voice was not of the commander of NERV, but of the man she now came to love.
"God, don't you ever scare me like that ever again." Shinji face came into view with a smile across his face the warmed her soul.
Then as fast as the memory came, she woke up to find herself in her tent while safely having her arms wrapped around her love, to which he was doing the same. A smile came across her face knowing that if anything like that happened, she knows now that he would be more worried, no scratch that, he would be 'really' worried about her more than some plan that involved her and some test. Looking at the little powered battery alarm clock she had brought along on the training trip she took notice that it was a little before four in the morning, which meant that she still had at an hour more of sleep left before the start of today's training and with that she went back to her own la-la land.
When Shinji started to wake up from his dreams, his eyes laid down upon an angelic face. His first reaction was to jump right out of the sleeping bag and get a little flustered. But quickly catching himself from doing so, he remembered that that very face was of the woman that he had come to love. After telling the other two boys about him and Rei, they had no problems now with sleeping with each other (and no they ain't fuckin' each other in there). He then checked the alarm clock that was in the tent and noted that it was thirty minutes before they started their day, so he got out of his angels arm and left the tent to catch some breakfast (I'll let you guyz decide what they ate for breakfast, k?).
It has been at least three months and two days since that day of Shinji told the two boys about him and Rei. They've completed both the tree and water walking chakra exercises and have completed a number of jutsus. Right now they are at the campfire eating their breakfast discussing their training for the day.
"So sensei what are we going to be doing for today, I hope you can teach us that cool technique you used on the last angel," Touji hoping, with star in his eyes, that he'll be taught such an awesome jutsu. The way he was acting made Shinji remember his dad's reaction to when he made new jutsus and how he wanted to learn them. (From now on I'm going to just call Naruto his dad and Gendo just Gendo, just so you guyz know)
"Hehehe, well sorry nothing like that today, but that will be by the end of this month and then we'll get to individual techniques. But today and for the rest of the week we'll be working on defensive jutsus and don't complain because these type of jutsus, they have saved my hide for almost a thousand times in the sort of life I lead since I was a kid," the young sensei tells his students about what they'll be doing and quickly adds," and we'll be working on your individual elements, but the problem is that I don't know your elemental affinities so here guys go."
Shinji then gives them individual thin pieces of paper, but this confuses them and Kensuke asks what was on their minds," umm, sensei what are we going to do with these and what do you mean by elemental affinities?"
"Well for the elemental affinities, you guys know that they are five basic types of chakra used for jutsus which consist of fire, water, lightning, earth, and wind. These five elements are the foundation of all jutsus, and the reason the five great countries in the Shadow Dimension are named as they are," the shinobi sensei says as he gives one part of his explanation.
Touji then puts in his two cents on the matter, "hmm, that's kinda cool."
"Most people's chakra naturally leans towards a certain nature. The Uchihas that I have told you about that had the Sharingan eye for example, were full of people with an affinity to fire, thus they were exceptionally skilled with fire element jutsus," he says, but while continuing his lecture, he holds his right hand to the Sharingan eye. Remembering what the eye itself meant to him.
"Those matched with wind are good with wind element jutsus and those with lightning with lightning element. The technique you saw me use on the last angel was called 'Chidori', that jutsu is a good example of the lightning element," Shinji says as he gives some examples to his pupils.
Rei then thinks back on the first battle and the last battle," so that would mean you have affinities to lightning and wind? Because I remember that attack you used in the first battle you fought and with the way it looked, I would think that jutsu was a wind element."
"Well you hit it dead on the mark on my affinities, but the jutsu that I used, the 'Rasengan', is not exactly that type of jutsu. In fact the one you saw me use wasn't even a 'complete Rasengan'," the young sensei said leaving his girlfriend's mouth wide open.
'That jutsu wasn't even complete and he did that much damage with it, I wonder how much damage a complete one could do,' the young woman thinking about this, but then thought of something else and voicing them," wait, but doesn't that mean you could complete it anyway."
Shinji then felt real good that he fell in love with such a smart girlfriend," hehehe, Rei you never cease to amaze me, yes I can complete it because it was created with the intention of adding your own elemental chakra which I think it would be best that it be wind, but I just might just teach you guys the 'Rasengan' anyway, so you can add your own elements to it," Shinji then saw stars in their eyes, but he didn't want to get their hopes to high and added something else," but don't get too hopeful because not a whole lot of people can master the jutsu."
The pupils then deflated their hopes but that didn't stop them and they then voiced together," WE'LL MASTER IT WHEN YOU GIVE US THAT TRAINING SENSEI."
"Hehehe, well I like your guys enthusiasm, but anyways where were we… ah yes, we were talking about you what affinities you guys leaned to. Alright now that you guys now know of the elements, it's time we found out what affinities you all have and those thin pieces of paper will help you do that, because essentially you all are a 'zero element' since we don't know what element you all have," the young sensei then see that they look at the papers curiously in their hands.
"Here let me demonstrate, all you have to do is put you chakra into the papers themselves and you'll see the results," Shinji then pours his chakra in to the thing piece of paper and what the see the paper do is crumple up and then get sliced in half. This gets question marks on their heads while also thinking that tidbit was little cool.
"If you're lightning natured, the paper gets crumpled up. Wind cuts in half, fire burns it, water gets it wet, and earth makes it turns to dust," the young sensei say as he gives his students what results of what elements they will be.
"These are pieces of paper are special and react to the slightest amount of chakra. These were made from trees that were fed and nurtured by chakra for a long time. Now go on guys and channel some of your chakra into the papers and then we'll know what element you all are," Shinji says, trying making sure they understood the nature of the papers they held themselves.
They nodded their head and started to channel their chakra into the pieces of paper. Shinji started to walk to them individually to see what each of them were and started with Kensuke, his paper started to sprout wood like roots," hmmm, it seems to me Kensuke that you have water and earth chakra which mean that you can also use a secondary element called 'wood' element."
This surprises the group and Touji asks what was on their minds," What do you mean sensei? Are you saying that they're more elements?"
"Yes and no, while a person can have two or maybe even more elements, they can combine them to make an element that shouldn't exist in the first place, what I mean is that there is no 'wood' element to begin with," The young shinobi sensei saw that they had questions on their minds.
"If you guys must know, Kensuke you just have to use the two elements together. By controlling the nature of earth and water at the same time, you can create a new wood element, which you then can manipulate. When you have two elements you can control, it's not very difficult to use them separately. But it's a totally different story when it comes to using them together. The ability to control two elements simultaneously and create new elements to create… that's what is called a 'Kekkei Genkai'. I have told you guys about them if you remember correctly?" he asked them. While Shinji had told them about his past, he also went over what 'Kekkei Genkais' were and how he can't even use his Sharingan eye to copy those jutsus.
"Here let me give an example of who my dad fought before, there was this guy named Haku who had ice based jutsus. He could control both wind and water elements to create ice. Usually such special jutsus can only be used by those who are born in a clan with a bloodline limit," the young sensei remembering the story of what his dad told of his first A-rank mission to the wave country. He felt a great sadness when he heard about the last moments of him and Haku, and the last moments Zabuza had.
"Whoa," they all said in unison, it amazed them how such people can exist and now it seems Kensuke is one of those people with a Kekkei Genkai. This made the new geek shinobi happy now that he knew he was more than just some battle fanatic.
"And like I told you guys, my Sharingan eye cannot copy Kekkei Genkais. Well now Kensuke, just practice putting earth in your left hand and water in your right and you'll come up with wood. Since I don't know any wood jutsus you'll have to come up with your own original wood techniques, alright next," he then went to Touji to see what element he had.
When he saw what Touji had, he felt like that the young jock was going to get his wish sooner then he expected because the paper had crumpled up," well Touji it looks like you'll be able to learn the Chidori anyway seeing as how you have an affinity to lighting. But that wouldn't have mattered; this just makes it easier for you."
This got the boy jumping up and down knowing that he'll be to do such an awesome jutsu," yea, that what's I'm talking about. I can't believe I'm gonna be able to do such a cool jutsu."
"Now, now don't get so excited man. You know you'll have to earn the chance to earn the training to learn the Chidori and if you can master it well, I might teach you the advance version of the jutsu which is call 'Raikiri', for translation purposes it is also called 'lightning blade'. Anyway now it onto you Rei," he now proceeded to his girlfriend.
What his eyes saw had surprised him, a lot. The paper Rei held had turned to a piece of flimsy ice," Rei, you have the same Kekkei Genkai as Haku…whoa, Rei this is just cool and I think I can help you with ice jutsus. Seeing as how my Sharingan, even though it can't copy bloodline limits, can remember jutsus; this eye used to belong to my dad's teammate and best friend whom he had considered a brother."(Hey let's just go with it, k?)
This just as much surprised her as it did him and was happy hearing that he could help with her new bloodline limit. She then threw her arms around his neck," Thank you Shinji, I won't let you down when you train me in using my bloodline limit."
Once he got out of the embrace, he then turned to his pupils," okay, now that we know each of your individual elements, we can get started on training on how to channeling your elements and getting in some defensive jutsus at the same time."
For the rest of the week and some days later, they had done nothing but work on defensive jutsus and working on their individual elements. Shinji worked with each of them individually, helping them on how to channel their elements better. With Kensuke, he could hardly do anything but work on his earth and water jutsus, seeing as he knows close to nothing on wood element jutsus. With Touji, he was taught on how to control the lightning and how to channel it through himself, other objects and even started to work on him with teaching him on high-speed taijutsu. And with Rei, he had started to teach her on all the knowledge the Sharingan eye had on the ice jutsus that Haku had, he also taught her on what water and wind jutsus he had as well. But the one thing the all had in common was the Rasengan training, though Rei was up ahead a step on the third step while the two boys were still on the second step. It never ceases to surprise the seasoned shinobi on how fast his pupil's progress is on such hard training that would have other academy students in the Shadow Dimension just months, if not years, to achieve the level of control and skill this group has, and they're not even of shinobi origin.
The month had gone so quickly, as well did the training and they were now heading back to Tokyo-3 after such a long time of training. Each of them had grown so much in their own ways, Kensuke wasn't so much of a military fanatic and was more focused on environment around him, plus he got a lot more athletically fit. Touji wasn't so much the jock he was more, now that he had the shinobi training he had gained more of an intelligent mind that would help him in any situation. Rei had these things already, the stealth, mind, body, but the one thing that changed was how she reacted to others around her now, which meant that she would give them the acknowledgment that they were there and treat them with kindness. The one thing that they all had in common was that they all had ninja headbands on with a symbol, but not the leaf symbol considering they haven't joined Konoha, they had a kanji saying 'devil' in place of the leaf symbol (hey they're going against angels, so I thought it would be appropriate).
After hours of waiting on the train, they finally arrived in Tokyo-3. They all got up and got their belongings that they had brought with them. When they finally got to the entrance of the train station, Shinji turned to his group.
"Now, that we have done all this training, I have no doubt in my mind that we'll be ready for anything that should happen, big or small. Now remember what I said, Touji and Kensuke, don't show your skills to your parents or they might just freak out. And act like nothing has changed with your personalities, because they may just find out about the training I gave you," the young sensei of 'devil' team ordered, giving his charges a fair bit of warning.
"YES SENSEI," they all said in unison.
"Now, I expect you guys to train in your own way and develop your own original jutsus because that is how I got to be so powerful. And don't forget to increase you weights by ten pounds each time you get used to them, also keep the genjutsus on them so that people won't question as to why your wearing them," Shinji says as he gives the last bit of his training regime.
Then Touji wanted to make sure of something himself," ummm, sensei you do remember that you would help with my sisters operation, right? You haven't forgotten have you?"
"Of course not man, I always keep my word because that's my nindo, my ninja way. So we'll get started on your sister's operation as soon as we can, okay?" the sensei then gave Touji a genuine smile.
"Thank you sensei," Touji still couldn't believe that his sister would now soon be walking again.
With that, the all went their separate ways to their home, except Shinji was escorting Rei back to her apartment. They walked relatively close except they weren't holding hands; because they wouldn't want to risk that someone would see them, be they civilians or from NERV, and report to Gendo about the relationship between him and Rei.
When they got their Rei turned to him and gave a warm smile," well, here I am. I'll see you at school, okay?"
"Yea, I'll see you at school," he then spread out his senses to see if there was anybody around in the area and was content that nobody was around. He then gave her a hug and gave her a peck on the lips," I'll be missing you every second."
"That's so sweet of you and I will to, goodbye 'my cute little oni'," the pale blue haired girl giving the hug in return.
"Goodbye 'my angel'," Shinji said in a caring voice, he then got out of the hug and 'poofed' away to go back to his apartment.
Rei then closed the door to her apartment and put all of her belongings down on the apartment floor. She then noticed the condition of her apartment, seeing it in this condition made her think of how gloomy it was and she now aimed to change that. Her gaze then landed on the half broken glasses of Gendo. The time he had burned his own hands to save her, but now she knows better because he was just saving his plan from being ruined. With that, she then proceeded to put glasses over the trashcan and let them go. Upon impact of the empty trashcan they broke, like the trust she had for her 'commander'.
Things proceeded like nothing happened, like sync tests, check-ups and the occasional reports to Gendo. Right now they are in school, catching up on the schoolwork they missed. But right now they're in their P.E. class, so they were really just relaxing; considering what they think is fitness exercise, the trained shinobi considered it an annoyance.
The three young men are just relaxing on a part of grass, beside the tracks running grounds. Shinji notices his girlfriend is sitting by herself, near the pool,' 'sigh' it's too bad we have to keep up the act of separation in public; I would just like to hold her now. But if I did that, that bastard would take her away from me. Oh well, at least we know we have each other,' he then notice that she is looking at him at the corner of her eye. For a second, she let out a small smile, telling him that she is fine with this. So he sends back his own, letting her know that he's relieved.
"Hey sensei, what are you looking at?" Touji asked as he had a lecherous look to his face, but all he got as an answer was a 'hmm'.
"By any chance was it Rei, Shinji-sensei?" Kensuke asks with the same look as his best friend and teammate," you can't hide it sensei, you did train us in the art of deception."
"You were probably thinking about her nice melons, her legs, and her pu…" Touji was about finish, but then his sensei disappeared out of his sight. He then felt a chill going down his spine, which Kensuke felt as well.
"I'm sorry, but what were you going to say guys?" the seasoned shinobi said from behind his student with an eerily happy voice. The students shakily look back at him and see he has his hand in position for a certain finger jutsu.
"N-N-NOTHING S-SENSEI," they both said, afraid of the pain they'll feel in their butts.
"I thought so," he said in the same tone. He then dropped the formation of his hands," I tell you guys, this is just hard sometimes. You know the situation with Rei and me?"
"Hm, but that's the path you both have chosen, so there's no helping it," Kensuke says as he agrees with his sensei.
"True, but that doesn't change the fact it's hard. But I know that we'll get through it no matter what," the three were then called to run, but Shinji easily got bored with it and had a plan," hey guys?" he gets the attention of his student who are running with him," let's ditch this joint, do a replacement jutsu with some Shadow Clones. I'll go get Rei."
"GLADLY," they both say and disappear, leaving the clones behind to do the rest of the days work.
Shinji puts up a weak genjutsu and conceals himself, so that only Rei can see him," hey, Rei?" the shinobi-sensei whispers, trying to get her attention.
"Shinji?" she whispers too, she then looks to her side and sees him in plain sight. She panics a bit that he is here," what are you doing here? This is pool is only reserved for the girls today, you'll get in trouble," she whispers in a panicked voice.
"Don't worry Rei; I put up a genjutsu so that the girls don't see me. Only you can, anyway," he then put up a smile and smiled eyes," let's get out of here, it's too boring. Just do a replacement jutsu with a Shadow Clone and we'll go out here to have some fun."
She thought for a minute, she did want to spend more time with her boyfriend, but she didn't want to skip on her work. But her boyfriend reminded her of something," don't worry about work, the clone will do it and the information it gather will be sent back to you when you dispel it, so there's really no problem," that made up her mind and did as he asked. She quickly went to her locker and got her clothes.
They all met at a clearing in the forest close to the city of Tokyo-3, what they were going to do was test they're skills against their sensei. This is what they had come to consider fun; it was the rush of the combat that had made it as such. They all got in positions to take on the seasoned shinobi and then charged at him. This went on until school was up, they then decide this is what they would do from now on, to send a single Shadow clone of themselves to school and then go off into the woods to train their skills, or just take a day off and have some normal fun.
After that was done, the two shinobi EVA pilots left for a sync test; Shinji was now in his newly color schemed giant that had two slots under each wrist. The doctor explained what the two were; the top was the one with the shuriken ammo, the shuriken were like that prog knife because they had the same material and activation of energy. They only activated when they were thrown. The one closest to the wrist was the energy ribbon that was taken from the last angel. The doctor asked him what he would use them for, but he replied saying that she would have to find out when he used them.
He then looked up on his screen and sees that Gendo is walking towards his girlfriend. He sees her scowl for a bit, but she quickly put on a fake happy face for him,' good Rei, don't let him know that you have changed. That way, when he doesn't have any power anymore, or if we don't have any choice, he won't know what hit him,' he then goes back to the test they were doing on his EVA. After the tests were done, they both went back to their apartments, giving each other one last smile to each other before they left each others homes.
That night, Misato had Ritsuko over for dinner. The captain wanted to show off her roommates cooking skills," look at all the good food that Shinji made, man I can't wait to chomp down on this stuff," the captain looked at the all the food laid out on the table. (You know the usual)
"Well it was easy with all the clones," he said with a smirk on his face.
That made the doctor spray out her drink and choked a bit," clones?!" she said in a little frightened voice.
"Yea, let me show you," he then formed a cross formed seal with his hands," SHADOW CLONE JUTSU," then two puffs of smoke appeared. When it cleared, it showed two exact copies of the shinobi, one was reading the manga book he always reads and the other was clinging off the ceiling with his feet," see, it's as simple as that," the clones then were dispelled at that moment.
"Oh," the fake blonde then let out a sigh of relief, afraid that the secret about Rei was now known. They all then started to chat about what they considered interesting and the highlights of their day. While during this, the doctor then remembered something," oh, Shinji, I nearly forgot," she then rummaged through her purse for an item, she then pulls out a card," here's Rei Ayanami's new card. I missed the chance to give it to her, so if you could, please give this to her next time you are on your way to headquarters."
"Heh, sure thing," he says with his usual smile and smile eyes. He then looks at the face on the card and can't help but feel good to have her as his girl.
"What's the matter? You seem to be really concentrating on her picture," the purpled haired beauty says with a lecherous smile," hehehe, now you've got an official excuse to go to Rei's apartment. It's a nice chance to do some naughty things, right?"
He then lazily looks at her from looking at the ID card," hm? I'm sorry did you say something Misato?" he asked in his Kakashi type mood.
A vein then appears on her forehead, ticked that the boy did that again. She then threw the empty pop can she had in her hand and it thunked on his head harmlessly," you know I hate it when you do that?"
"But it's so fun, because like me sometimes, you have a quick temper," she then hung her head at the truth he said," anyway, I'll go and give this to her tomorrow. You don't need to worry about it."
"Thank you Shinji," Ritsuko said with a happy voice and smile. And so they went on about their dinner. After it was all done, Ritsuko left and the two roommates went to hit the sack.
The next morning, Shinji got on his usual shinobi attire. It was Saturday, so he didn't need to get his school uniform on. Once he was done getting his clothes on, he teleported over to Rei's apartment. When he got there, he looked upon the door with a little anticipation,' maybe we could do a little of our own time before we go to headquarters,' with that thought, he pressed the doorbell. But he didn't get an answer, so he tried it again. He still didn't get answer from his girlfriend,' hm, must be out right now. Oh well, I can just leave the card where she can see it and she pick it up herself,' he then opened the door to her home.
Once inside, he got a good look at the condition the apartment. Even though it looked like she was starting to clean up the place, it felt dark and gloomy. But you could see that she was now trying to brighten up the place to fit her mood. He then hears something from behind. He then looks to see what it was, and that made him have a nosebleed.
Right there, in all of her glory, was Rei in her birthday suit," Shinji?" she asks innocently, only to have the boy pass out on her from massive blood lost," Shinji!" she runs over to him, you then see that he has swirly eyes with a lecherous smile on his face and blood running down his nose," oh Shinji," she giggles at the sight he is in now.
A few minutes later, after getting some tissue up his nose and Rei getting some clothes on, Shinji then got his composure back. But when she came back into view, it only made him blush even more. She was now only had a big T-shirt on that only served to make her look even sexy with some lacey panties,' damn, just how the hell is that even possible. Okay, just think about grandma Tsunade and you'll be alright,' he then thought of her, but in her youthful genjutsu. That only made him blush more,' get out of my head you dirty thoughts, I can't be doing any like that now to a girl whose only fourteen years of age,' he then starts to beat on his own head.
"Uh, Shinji, what are you doing?" he was then brought out of his thoughts when she asked, with a cocked head and a raised eyebrow.
"Uh, nothing, nothing," he then cooled himself down and sat himself down on her bed," anyway, I was here to give your new ID card, seeing as how you old one expired," she then got a sad look on her face,' she must of thought I was visiting her, heh, she knows me better than I thought,' he then turned his attention to her," but that was just half of the reason I was here. The other half was I wanted to come and see 'my angel'," he said with a truly happy smile and voice.
She then quickly got a smile on her face," thanks Shinji," she then got a little idea," oh Shinji," she said in a seductive voice as she swayed her hips back and forth in a sexy manner.
"Heheh, yes dear," he said in a nervous voice,' okay, what is going on? Oh please don't tell me she wants to do it already, I thought we had already talked about,' he then sees her sees her sit down on his lap.
"Calm down baby, I just want to have kissing time with you. You don't have to worry about us having sex now," she said in a reassuring voice.
"Oooh, you scared me for a minute there. Well, I can at least comply with that request," suffice to say, the two were late for the sync test that day, by at least two hours. (Hey, I would take that time if I had a fine ass girl on my lap. Weeelll, maybe or maybe not, who's to know?)
When they both arrived, Misato and Ritsuko were waiting at the front entrance. When they notice the two, they get mad," YOU'RE LATE," they said at the same time. (Heh, remind of you of something)
"Well, a black cat crossed our path, so we had to make a detour," he said in a lazy voice with a small smile.
'Does he honestly believe we'll buy that,' they both thought as they shook their heads.
"Just get ready, today is the day we activate unit 00," said the doctor in an annoyed voice.
Shinji notices the flinch the red eyed girlfriend has when she hears this,' hmm, I guess what I heard from Misato about the last test was true. This must be tough on her,' he then looked at the two older women," umm, could you guys go on ahead, I just need to talk to Rei for a bit."
"No we have to, uh, hey Misato," her protest was cut off as her best friend drags her off.
"No problem Shinji, go ahead and have your little talk We'll be waiting for you two up ahead," the purpled haired beauty says as she drags the doctor off, out of sight and earshot.
"What is it you want to talk about Shinji?" she said while keeping a monotone voice to cover her scared one.
He then quickly goes up to her ear to whisper, not trusting the walls as they might have ears," don't worry; you'll do fine with the training I gave you. Just remember what I taught you and you'll do fine, besides," he then takes a step back and gives her a reassuring smile with smiling eyes," if anything goes wrong, I will jump in to save you, because I will always protect those precious to me."
In her head, she is jumping in joy to have such a man, but on the outside she kept her calm and soulless act on," thank you pilot Ikari," she said in a fake monotone voice.
"No prob," they then went off to meet up with the two older ladies. When they caught up to them, the doctor gave a light glare to them while the captain gave a bit of a wink to the boy.
Rei was now in her EVA, while Shinji was watching the test go on through window and hoping that everything will go fine. Rei just sat there, bored out of her mind,' 'sigh' I would listen to Kensuke's jokes than be here for hours,' she then remembered the terrible knock-knock jokes he made when they trained with each other,' uh, maybe not,' she thought as a sweatdrop went down her head.
"Rei, can you hear me?" the voice asked on the intercom that belonged to her commander.
"Yes," she said simply while hiding the distaste in her mouth of replying to him.
"We're going to try activating unit 00, start the first connection," he commanded to the operators. They did as they were told and started voicing the progress they made in activating the sleeping EVA.
Once they approved it was active, Rei proceeded with the test," roger, I'll start an interlocking test without a break," she said in her acted voice.
But she was caught off by the sub commander Fuyutski," Ikari, an unidentified object is approaching, I think it's the fifth Angel," he said as he put down the phone.
Not showing that he was disappointed by this, he kept his emotionless face on," interrupt the test, all hands on first class alert," they all did as he said and started to stop the test.
"Why don't you use unit 00?" the sub commander asked.
"It's not ready for combat yet. We will have unit 01 take on the angel," he simply said without taking his eyes off the orange prototype EVA. The people then went to prep up the new colored schemed EVA, he then talked to the pale-blue haired young woman on the communicator," Rei, we succeeded in reactivating, come back."
She didn't answer as the cockpit flashes through the usual lot of weird color designs. Once it turned completely off, she laid back on her chair and let out a sigh of relief,' I wonder what I could do once this is all over,' she then started to think of plans of foiling the instrumentality plan,' I will not do that. Now that I have some friends, I have a reason to live and I won't let that plan come to fruition. I'll have to tell Shinji and the others about it, I just hope we'll be able to do something about it,' she started to think on how to tell them, while Shinji rushed to get to his EVA in his plug suit.
Once inside the EVA, Shinji started to confirm the progress in prepping the EVA. All the while, Rei stood on a catwalk near by, looking intently at the black EVA,' please, be safe Shinji, I don't know how I would feel if I lost you,' she thought sadly, while trying to keep her face emotionless.
Once they people at the bridge confirmed the Angels whereabouts, Misato gave her command," LAUNCH EVA," unit 01 then lifted off at that moment.
"A powerful energy reaction detected inside the target," said the operator with long brown hair (forgot his name) in a panicked voice.
"What?!" Misato asks in complete worry.
Inside the EVA, Shinji could feel a high amount of chakra being built up," oh shit," he then prepared for a basic jutsu, knowing that the enemy intended to fire at him once he got out.
Once the EVA shot out of through the shaft, the diamond formed Angel then fired off a powerful beam at it," LOOK OUT," the captain yelled out to the pilot.
"Ah, Misato, you don't have to yell when I'm standing right here," a voice said from out of nowhere. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, revealing it to be none other than Shinji Uzumaki himself," yo," he said simply with his hand saying hi.
"Wha…but you were… how the," she said in interrupted sentences as she looked back and forth between the EVA on the screen and the boy in front of her," how are you here? We all saw you go into your EVA."
"Check the cockpits camera," they did and they saw a log in place of where he was seated, the log burnt to a crisp due to the heat made by the blast. They all looked back to him for an explanation," a substitution jutsu, I can replace my body with any object near by. Though for certain people they can extend the range of object they want to replace with well beyond the original radius, and I happen to be one of those people."
The purpled haired beauty let out a sigh of relief," good job kid, but now we'll have to retrieve the EVA back from being shot through the chest, this just got troublesome," at that moment, a certain Nara clan sneezed and then said something about people being troublesome talking behind their backs.
"Well, seeing as how this will take some time, we'll need to formulate a plan," shinji then clasp," alright then, let's get to brain storming."
In the Shadow Dimension, Orochi are talking to the various enemies Shinji made when he was an active shinobi in that dimension," well, do you all want to join me in seeking revenge against Shinji?"
"Well, I'm definitely in. I want to pay him back for killing my brother," a Mist nin by the name of Kyo Ikuzu said. He had long black hair that stopped just right below his neck, dark blue eye, and a two scars going down from both his bottom eyelids. He had the same black suit Zabuza.
"I second that agreement," a Rock nin by the Yugo Minasko said. He had short red hair that was messy, brown eyes, and a tear tattoo under her left eye. He had a brown jounin vest with a bare chest under it. He also had black pants with bandages wrapped around his ankles and black shinobi sandals.
"Here, here," a woman said by the name Miyuki Kusunagi. She had short brown hair with dark green eyes, and her face was really cute to boot. She had a red tank top with a black mesh shirt with sleeves. She also had a short black skirt and high black combat boots.
All other enemy ninjas of Shinji agreed. All these ninja were simply pawns for Orochi, but the Three that agreed first were just as powerful as Shinji himself so they had a real use.
"Good," he then started to chuckle like a psycho," revenge will be all the sweeter when we see you," he then turned to his subordinate," how has the jutsu come?"
"It will be ready by tomorrow, my lord," he said with an evil grin.
"Good, we're coming for you Shinji and when we find you," he then started to laugh maniacally," I just can't wait," the three shinobi's only smirk and nod their heads at him.
Unbeknownst to them, a group of ninjas are only a days worth away from the lair of Orochi. They leader of this group is Kazuma Hyuuga, along with Akane Haruno," we've lost time, but I can tell where closing in on them," Kazuma said as he leapt from tree branch to tree branch.
"Do you think we'll even make it in time? You know to stop them from following Shinji?" Akane asked in a worried tone.
"Who knows, but if they succeed in going to his dimension, then we'll follow them and make sure that we warn him," he said as he didn't turn his head back to her, not wanting to show the worried look on his face,' you may be an ass, man. But if anyone's going to beat you, it's going to be me who does. Not some snake in the grass bastard,' he thought, as he vowed to himself that he would help his best friend and rival in anyway possible.
A/N: finally got this chapter done, sorry this chapter took so long guyz. Anyways, from now on, I'll just narrate the changes in the series instead of the whole parts of each episode. It just too much trouble to detail every single moment in the series, unless it calls for it. Now on the pairing of the couple with Asuka, I've decided to not have to involve her in that relationship. But I will have her involved with someone else, but as to who will be a surprise. With that said and done, see ya.
