Welcome amigo's! Hope you enjoy my fanfic
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto/Boruto.
After all this, Shinto attitude has gotten worst. Midori? When coming around Midori, he doesn't even attempt to wave or make eye contact with him. Sakana? Sakana was always trying to get her friend attention but like Midori, he ignores her utterly. He still trains with Iron Lee along with Platinum but when Platinum Lee askes 'what's wrong?' he never answers.
That sadden him, Platinum was his best friend, a shoulder to cry on, a person can deeply understand. But not this. If he tokd her, a fight might've broke out between them and she would've told everyone about this.
But strangely, his relationship with Okuru has gotten better? They were girlfriend and boyfriend.
She seems like only person he loves
He went out to woods where his first interaction with the Nusuba clan. He was alone, no other ninjas were with him, a few clan members came as an attemtion to adduct him but after going through so much hard-working training, they were easily defeated. Then Anonymous, one of the swordsmen of the mist had arrived.
They discuss about him joining the Nusuba clan. BUT, only if the Nusuba Clan don't attack the villages. Without questioning, Anonymous agreed.
Sakana was tired of Shinto being a mess. She cared about him, she liked him. But she only rejected him because she doesn't want emotions to get in the way of her future.
In Shinto Inn Hotel room, Sakana was there sitting against the bed. Arms crossed and face frowned, that was usual Sakana.
The Hyuga wasn't surprised but was annoyed that she's in his room. "What are you doing here?" He asked vulgarly.
Sakana went past him to lock the door. If she was going to communicate with him, she going to have be brave and stay in this room alone. Shinto was unsure what she was doing but it got him cautious. "What are you doing? Get out...I want to be alone."
Shinto had never spoken like that to anyone. He was either too scared to do so back then or too nice to yell at anyone until somebody pushes him to the edge. Which reminded Sakana, something bad must've really happen to Shinto for him to stay so angry and isolated.
The silence was painful and slowly annoyed Shinto. The Hyuga reached for the doorknob but the Ai scooted in front of it. She no longer seem all big and confident. "Shinto, can...you tell me what's wrong? Me and Midori are worried about you."
"Why can't you and Midori mind your own business? Now get out."
"Shinto please, I just want to know. I really miss you."
"I-um uh." Shinto stammered. Unsure what to say now that she sounded so concern. "Just leave me alone...I don't want to talk."
Sakana couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, until that day at the Carnival. "Are...you heartbroken?"
Shinto eyebrow quirked up from that sudden question. Then he remembered his date with her at the Carnival. "No..." His voice sort of cracked.
"You're...terrible at lying Shinto." She continued, she then went over to him, having her hands on his shoulders. Shinto leaned back a bit as she stood on her tippy toes.
He...was with Okuru and Sakana was trying to kiss him. He acted on reflects and pulse by shoving her onto the floor. That...was unexpected, especially to Sakana. Shinto regretted as Sakana stared at him in disbelief.
"I...d-didn't mean to do that." Shinto knew he crossed the line, he tried to help herup but she declined. She just scowled at him, storming out the room.
Shinto sighed very long, he was a big emotional wreck.
Midori saw that Sakana was running home crying. He couldn't stand it, he couldn't stand Shinto anymore. "Shinto..."
Now the two days had past. It was time to showcase their skill.
Everyone was here, including other Kages that warriors didn't advance. Shinto going out, he looked over the Kage seats to see Tsyuna. He smiled at him, waving. He was like a father figure to him. He standed along side Tsunaara who waved at him. "Can you believe it Elder brother? We're going to be on TV and...we can become Chūnin!"
"Yeah..." He slightly looked over to see Toshinno and Rankai. Toshinno was glaring at him with a smirk, Shinto only became anger, starting off his fight against the Nusuba clan starts right here. From the corner of his eye, he could see Sakana.
It was weird, after that incident, nothing bad has occur. Not even her father.
"Alright guys, the rules are just the same as the preliminaries. You better put your life on the line if you want to become a Chūnin. The first fight is Rankai vs Shinto."
Shinto glared, but behind that glare was nervousness. He was gonna go against the strongest guy here. Everybody left the arena except for Shinto and Rankai.
Platinum Lee sat beside a concern Sakana, strangely? "Sakana, the mean girl isn't it? I see that your worried."
"At first, I'm worried, but now I just don't care." Sakana back with her old sass.
"Huh? Oh whatever!" Platinum replied, she then glanced down at Rankai and Shinto stare down.
He've waited so long to let loose, he tighten up his bandages around his fists.
Rankai arms were crossed, kind of at uneased. Shinto was looked driven.
A gust of wind circled the arena as the two stared at each other. "Begin!" Topi commenced as he jumped away from the two.
"No Gentle Fist, just me kicking your ass." He said, taking off the ankle weights anf tossing them away.
"You've changed throughout the past month. Going through puberty?"
"No, just loneliness."
Shinto started off by shooting himself at Rankai, swinging a left hook kick toward his jaw, it was blocked by Rankai forearm. Rankai then pushed back Shinto follow up attack which was a mid-air knee shooting up. Shinto then was skidded backwards before crouching under a side kick from Rankai. He then sweep his leg around, sending Rankai falling heavily on the ground. He then flipped forward, trying to stomp down on Rankai.
Rankai rolled out the way. Shinto then got out the Wind Style: Gale Palm, blowing Rankai backwards.
Rankai trying to get back up, he was dragged through the ground by the strong gust of wind. Shinto then got out a few shurikens, infusing Wind chakra within kt. "Wind Style: Vacuum Blade!"
He sent the Wind infused shuriken toward Rankai. Rankai got up with one of the lethal shuriken slightly slit across his jaw , and sides. "Tch...you've got a lot stronger than you previously was."
He ran at Rankai again, this time sending a punch toward his mid-sentence. Rankao caught the punch by its wrist, he was holding on it tight like he was gonna bend it but it was hard since Shinto was pulling back. The Hyuga quickly took out a kunai from his weapon bag and was gonna jab it through Rankai arm. Rankai quickly retailated by letting go of his hand and kicking him hard in the stomach that sent him flying backwards.
Barreling across the ground, he quickly glt up with the kunai still in hand. He then ran back at Rankai, swinging it and jabbing it forward. Rankai was barely dodging them with some of them pierced through his skin.
"He's...fighting so...ruthlessly." Tsunaara said, worried a bit.
"Hmph."
Rankai quickly sent a right hook that was deflected back away with wrist as he swung the kunai towards his neck. Rankai gasped as he reflectedly stopped the swing by catching his arm. Then pulled Shinto over his shoulder, slamminf him into the ground. "This little shit is crazy-"
Shinto again was going all for nothing with his guy, he quickly shot both his feet to Rankai chin. Sending him flying into the air. "Shinto Style Primary Lotus!"
His bandages wrapped around Rankai legs and arms, he then pulled and swung down Rankai. Slamming him into the ground hard. "Ugh-" Rankai was buried in a small crater, getting up slowly. "Still not done yet. Thank god." Shinto tossed aside the kunai, running at Rankai. Again he tried to attack head on but it phased through an after image.
He was looking around as Rankai bolting around faster than the normal eye could see. Shinto was struck back in the back torso which made him sent a backfist.
Midori was watching of course, confused why Shinto isn't using his Byakugan as a better visionual on Rankai.
Shinto just didn't need it, he was just gonna do it on his own. After Rankai next speedrun attack, Shinto countered with a Substitution Jutsu. He then spun in mid-air while activating First Inner Gate, he, shooting out feet, hitting the ninja with a windmill that shockwave the arena. "Leaf Hurricane!"
That blasted Rankai into the wall. Shinto reverted back to his base state, looking down at him. "C'mon, you down already." He made fun of, he then turned on his Byakugan just in case if Rankai about to get back up.
And getting back up he did, but this time, he was activating the Heavenly Breaths as a orange aura circled around him. "I didn't intent to use this! But you deserve it." His muscles was increasing size once he went through a breathing method.
Toshinno in the background was smirking his ass off. Unfourtunely for him, he didn't knew Shinto came prepared.
He turned off his Byakugan as he crossed his arms together as a green beam of light flashed around him. "You didn't think I didn't came prepared. You'll pay for what you did to me and my friend. Gate of Healing!"
Found in the brain, his physical strength. was dramatically increased, now down to the Spinal cord which was Gate of Life that basically made his skin turned red. Then it was the Gate of Pain which increased both strength and speed.
"Figures that he'll know that, training with you Iron Lee. But why though? This technique is extremely dangerous." Kasai stated.
Iron Lee admittally nodded rapidly. "Mhm, that's big talk coming you, teaching Midori mister Kaisagan."
"Ugh." Kasai didn't had no comback from that.
Platinum rooting for her friend, she was ultimately worried that he was using that 4th inner Gate. It can tear muscle tissure and the worst of all, he was going against a person that can match up against that level.
Midori curiously wanted to know what that technique Shinto was using.
They both burst at each other at immese speed, blowing a gust of dust around them. They then was engaged blows while slowly hovering in the air. Midori used the Sharingan to keep up their speed. "Dammit, how strong Shinto has gotten..."
Shinto was mostly throwing the punches and kicks while Rankai played defense, trying his best to block them and dodge them. After a swift downwards roundhouse, Rankai blocked it with his forearm, he immediately by throwing a fierce jab but Shinto disappeared into an after image as he appeared above Rankai. "TAKE THIS!"
Shinto had his fist reeled up together, slamming down a sledgehammer fist. Rankai hit the ground hard, leaving a huge crater where he landed it. But Rankai wasn't no pushover.
As Shinto landed on the ground, Rankai immediately went on the offensive, now attacking with constructive jabs. Shinto managed to block them with his wrists, but wasn't ready for Rankai shot out kick to the mid-section. He was driven backwards, Shinto winched a bit as he got up. He then saw Rankai trying to foot stomp him. His bandages unwrapped again, he jumped back, launching out his bandages.
This was his killshot, the bandages wrapped around Rankai arms. Pulling Rankai into the Reverse Lotus final blow punch. The blow made Rankai cough up blood, an eletrical shock zapped around Shinto from it. Shinto reverting back to his base, he immediately jumped back, completely exhausted while Rankai was still in the Heavenly breaths technique
Rankai was on his knees but he smirked very sadistc, he got up running toward Shinto.
"Oh no...Shinto..." Platinum said very concerned.
Shinto cocked back his fist as Rankai ran at him. Then suddenly, Rankai was out his Heavenly breaths. "What the-"
"Killshot!"
Rankai was floored onto the ground with a very full-fledge punch. Rankai was out for the count, but Shinto added insult to injury by running and stomping down Rankai face. "That...was satisfying, hai-saaaa...oh man.." Shinto fell back on his bottom.
"I saw it...with that punch, he could've killed Rankai. Once he thrown that punch, he used Gentle Fist to attack his internal organ, mainly his lungs which is the source of Heavenly Breaths..."
Shinto was declared the winner, he fainted on the scretcher as he was taken to Konoha Hospital.
Sakana was gone, she left the staduim to go to the Hospital. Underway, the next battle was Bakkura was against Tanaki.
Shinto was sitting down against the bed wall, totally out of chakra. "I've finally beat that guy head in...but I don't think I'll be good for the next round."
"Shinto-" Out in the room, Sakana was there.
"Sakana? Ah...Sakana, I'm sorry for what happen last time."
She locked the door. If it was rough housing again, he was definitely in a terrible position. She stormed over to the bed which had him frighten. "Sakana, please not right...can you kill me up later and I won't fight ba-"
Green chakra emitted from her hands, she crawled on the bed beside him, healing, restoring his chakra. Shinto was confused...she was helping him? After being so mean to her. "Why...are you helping me?"
"Because...I care about you, it'll be a shame that all that potential go to waste that quickly."
"But...I was being mean to you, I...pushed you.."
"Yes, and I'm totally plotting my revenge later."
Shinto felt like a guilty jerk now that she's helping him. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry.."
Kasai best swordsmen vs Iron Lee best swordsme- women.
Bakkura was nervous, he didn't had any big attacks unlike her and everybody else. But he didn't get this far to stop now.
"Commence!"
Tanaki with her took out her primary weapon, her katana while rushing towards Tanaki. Bakkura taken out his chakra blades as he deflected away a downward sword slash away with one of his chakra blades while he swung the other one, trying to hit her jaw with the brass knuckle part. Tanaki head leaned back, dodging it it before counterattacking with a spin kick to his stomach. Bakkura quickly rolled up back on his feet as he sent his Loose Shadow Possession Jutsu.
Tanaki jumped back as she stabbbed down her katana into the ground. Bakkura immediately threw a couple of ninja stars at her while charging at her. She summoned an axe and easily slit through them. Then charged Lightning released into them as she swung it upward Bakkura. "Lighting Style: Lightning Slash Wave!"
A wave of Lightning soared Bakkura, Bakkura rolled to the side while taking flashbangs out his bags. The flashbangs he launched, popped a bright light that slightly blinded her. He then got ready for his Loose Shadow Possession Jutsu, until she jumped into the air.
While blinded, she began taking out scrolls preparing her rising twin dragon. Bakkura knew no way in hell that he can dodge or block that. "OKAY! I GIVE UP!" Bakkura yelled.
Tanaki heard him scream as she dropped on the ground. "Who am I kiddin, thinking that I can get far in this." He admitted his defeat, he then went away from the arena.
The crowd didn't look satisfied with that walk out and performance as they started to booed. "Booo! Very that match is one sided!"
"He sucks!"
"Bring out a better fight!"
"Uh, Hokage Mizume? This Tournament bracket is a bit off course. That Toshinno person doesn't have an opponent." Tsyuna stated as he shown that Tournament bracket sheet paper.
Mizume gave herself a facepalm, it wasn't her fault though since Jōkara was the Hokage at the time. "Should we say his opponent was late? And let him advance so it wouldn't cause problems?"
"I guess, I blame Jōkara for this."
"Next fight is Unka from the Hidden Stone vs Chogin from the Hidden Leaf."
Chogin was nervous, Unka was actually a strong foe. Proving himself a strong foe by defeating Inotenn with his Explosion Chakra.
Unka, the orange haired ninja from the Hidden Stone landed on the dirt, glaring at his opponent. "I commend you for getting past Kowai, but this is the end of the line for you."
"Humph."
"Begin!" Topi commenced the battle.
"Expansion Jutsu!" Chogin fist expanded sized as he extended out toward Unka. Unka fluidly skipped over to the side, and again when Chogin launch another expanded fist.
Being between Chogin extended arms, Chogin dug his fingers into the dirt. Flinging himself at Unka, Unka avoided him by leaping in the air. He've created 2 clones that was filled with Explosive chakra. Unka landed on the ground as his clones charged after Chogin.
Chogin already aware that the clones were suicide bombers as he sent several shurikens at them. The clones didn't explode, in fact, melted down into multiple white snakes that darted themselves at Chogin. "Tch! Expansion Jutsu!" His body expanded into a giant boulder, before tucking his limbs in. "Human Boulder!"
He rolled at the snakes, only later to find that they were the bombers, as they exploded Chogin into the air. "Ahh!" He yelled as his body reverted to normal.
Chogin hit the ground, not hard but enough to leave him groaning. Unka stayed on the offensive as he ran over to Chogin to sent a explosive emitted punch to his stomach, Chogin again used his Expansion on his body to block the damage of the explosive punch. Then expanding his fists, slamming them down onto Unka.
"Huh?" Rai eyebrows quirked up, seeing that Chogin actually got a hit on him.
Now Unka plowed into the ground, Chogin repeatedly slammed down his fists on Unka body. "Human Boulder!" Again, Chogin tucked his limbs in, running over Unka.
Chogin reverted back to normal as he turned to Unka with a smirk. But that smirk went away when he saw Unka getting up, dusting himself off. "That was very effective. No wonder Kowai couldn't handle you."
"Heh-"
Again, Unka went back on the offensive by throwing another punch at Chogin face. Chogin leaned his head out the way as he tried to swing an extended roundhouse, but then Chogin froze up as he felt like he was being wrapped by dozens of snakes. But it was actually Genjutsu as Unka knocked him out of it with another explosive punch.
From Unka sleeves, he sent out more explosive chakra emitted snakes towards Chogin. Chogin was able to get up fast enough as he skipped back quick, Unka done a clap, and then the monkey seal, discharging yellow electricity within his hands. "Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!"
A shot a bolt of Lightning that manifested a snake. Chogin jumped far back, but the Lightning Snake wasn't aimed for him. It was actually for the explosive snakes.
The explosion radius was able to blow back Chogin against the wall. "Dah!" Chogin spat.
"Huh, that Lightning Snake is a Jutsu I never heard of." Kasai thought.
As the smoke disappeared, Chogin was on his knees, coughing. "You should give up now." Unka offered.
"No-" Chogin got up, reaching for his pocket to take out a container that only has the red food pill. "You should give up now."
"He's thinking about ending this quick." Chogin dad said, taking a seat beside Kasai and Iron Lee while eating a bag of popcorn.
"Oh, hey Chojo. Watching your son fight?" Kasai asked.
"Yup! Couldn't believe that he made it this far. I'm proud of him. Chogin! Your papa is proud of you!" Chojo cheered on, waving off his popcorn.
Chogin ate the red pill, then suddenly his weight dramatically decreased down, cheeks and body became slim as red wings of chakra was emitted on his back.
The audience looked shocked from the sudden transformation. "Ironic, his strongest jutsu makes him slim." Midori pointed out.
Unka let out an army of explosive chakra snakes from his sleeves while leaping away. He wasn't going to take any chances fighting Chogin in hand to hand combat. After another big explosion, Chogin could be seen dropping through the smoke. Unka summoned 2 clones again to punch Chogin back. Chogin easily caught them, slinging them away. Unka quickly slam his hand down, as rhe summoning markings spread out. "Summoning Jutsu!"
Summoning, Unka was now on a huge hawk that he could use to fly on. He ascended up in the air as he trying to figure out what to do. Chogin sprinted before jumping high at Unka and his Hawk while charging a huge visible blue chakra within his fist. He then attempted to smash it into Unka, the fist could've killed Unka if it wasn't held back and if he didn't dodge it with the Substitution Jutsu. "W-what?! I...missed?"
The technique he used was Butterfly Bullet Bombing, a life-threatening technique. Chogin wings had disappeared as he passed out on top of the Hawk. The Hawk descended down with Unka pulling Chogin from off it. "Honestly, when it comes to strength and defensive moves, you are superior but it wasn't enough to defeat me. I forfeit the Chūnin Exams."
"Chogin is unable to battle and since Unka for Unka has forfeit. No one isn't the winner." Topi stated.
Back at the hospital, Sakana was still curious about Shinto sudden change and she needed something to tell him. "Shinto, now that I helped you. Can you tell me...what's wrong?"
She was still on about that? He thought, but saw it coming. It was best to tell her what is wrong. "You see...I found out my sister didn't like...well, s-she's...dead...my Torisu is gone...and.." Shinto began tearing up. Sakana understood now, well she understood half of it.
"It's okay Shinto, she's-"
"No! It's not okay! I got mad at everyone, while I should've been mad at myself because I left Torisu..." His voiced raised but slowly cracked down. "I'm such an emotional train wreck, Sakana! I have no sister, no mother, a father and a brother that hates my existence. I just...don't know what to do besides-"
He paused, Shinto almost revealed his plan but the back rubs that Sakana was giving was sliencing him down, he was enjoying the comforn rub as he wiped the tears away. "Besides what...?
"I- u-uh it's..." Shinto stammered before letting out a long sigh. "Sakana...you wouldn't get mad if I do something...bad?
"Next fight is, Midori Uchiha from the Hidden Leaf vs Tsunaara from the Hidden Sand." Topi said.
"Ah Uchiha? Why is he here? He'll probably just go rogue the next few days."
"This is probably the first time I want someone from a different village to win."
"To be honest, I hope that sand girl put him out of commission."
Bakkura was awfully confused why the crowd was saying mean things abour Midori. "I get why the booed me out, but why my guy Midori? He's awesome." He complimented.
Midori ignored all the rude comments, now in the arena with his opponent, the Silver Sand Ninja. Tsunaara was waving off at her father who had a smile on her face. She really wanted to show the results of her training, she then stared at Midori. "You're the person who fought Platinum month ago and you are friend of Shinto. Did you improve?"
"I was Shinto friend." That's all he said, he didn't felt like converstating.
"Begin!"
"No Sharingan. Just pure me."
Midori was quickly on the offensive, he was a lot faster than before which Platinum took noticed. Tsunaara wasn't overwhelmed yet as she let off multiple sand needles toward Midori, Midori took out his katana that he gotten from his brother, using his Katana to slash through the needles. Soon as he got closer, he spun a really high toward her face, Tsunaara used her sand as her defensed as it stormed up in front of her.
Midori suddenly vanished as he appeared on the left side Tsunaara, knocking her across the ground with a hard punch. Tsunaara was sent through the dirt but was easily able to get up, she then sent a wave of sand toward Midori, trying to get a hold on him and put him out with submission. But using Lightning Style on his katana, he was able to cut through it easily. He then went back on the run toward Tsunaara while putting his katana away.
Tsunaara had used her sand to create huge floating hands that balled up into fists, she sent one to punch Midori but his speed helped him to side step that punch and later jump over the next one. "Tch..." Tsunaara raised up a silver sand wall as protection but Midori was able to burst through and send another punch. It blasted through the head, revealing that it was just a sand clone. The Sand clone then went down into gravel as it reformed behind Midori with a sand emitted around her hand as she punched Midori in his back torso. Sending him barreling forward, he'll then be at the feet at the real Tsunaara who had a huge wave of sand behind her. "Shit!" He cursed as he jumped back.
He was able to withdraw back with his speed. He seem kind of surprised by that attack, which he had to admit but he wasn't going to say it out loud.
"Cunning, she must've knew that Midori was going to burst through that sand wall, which is why she created a sand clone to catch him off guard." Platinum thought. "But I'm confused, this Midori is a lot faster than he originally was. Possibly up there with me."
All of Tsunaara sand came back togethe into her cloth. She went back on the distance offensive by sending sand needle back at him.
It was best to stand back for Midori as he fired a big fireball, using Fireball Jutsu to burn through the needles. Tsunaara surrounded herself with a barrier of sand to block the impact of the fireball.
The barrier was half destroyed but Tsunaara was okay. The smoke around her was too much though as she couldn't see Midori through it.
Midori on the other hand had his Sharingan activated, he felt disgusted that he had to use it since Shinto didn't used his dojutsu.
"Wind Style: Gale Palm!" Tsunaara yelled, releasing a strong gust of wind to blow away the smoke. Midori wasn't their though.
He was now up above, sending a hook kick across her jaw. Tsunaara stumbled back, stunned as Midori sent constructive jabs at her mid-section before trying to send her away with a roundhouse but she retailated by pushing him backwards with another blast of sand.
Midori was able to get up quick as possible before the sand got a hold of him. He then saw several sand spikes heading toward his way. "Sand Impalement!"
He wasn't ready for it which is why he couldn't dodge it, he caught the one that would've been fatal while the other one slightly pierced his skin. "That's it." Midori charged chakra within his left hand, slowly crumbling down the sand as high concentrated flames engulfed his palm. "Kasaigan! Pyroclastic Rock!"
He ran toward her with the flaming palm held down that glistened through the ground. Tsunaara backed up, that Jutsu looked strong. She began letting off sand spikes at Midori but he was dodging him with ease. She then tried to create another barrier but his Kasaigan easily melting through it as he sent a jab to her shoulder. The jab had Tsunaara yelling im pain and agony, the burning jab was painful. That had the crowd booing him for his ruthlessness. As he pulled back, Tsunaara fell back heavily, her screaming died down but they still sounded like she was in pain.
"Guess the winner is Midori!"
Midori had walked over to Tsunaara, his expression was cold which had the audiences assuming. "He's gonna kill her, send him away!"
"Disqualify him!"
Tsyuna was kind concerned. Midori hand raised out to her. "H-huh?"
"Take my hand, I'm trying to help you up." Midori said firmly.
"Oh." The only thing Tsunaara can say as she grabbed onto Midori hand, being pulled up.
"I'm not a bad person like those people are stating. I'll help you to the Hospital." He said, wrapping her arm around his neck, walking her out the stadium.
Tsyuna let out an sigh of relief. "That boy eyes are very piercing...but his personality doesn't seem bad."
"Ahem..." Topi fakely cough as he was being told about Toshinno match-up. "Toshinno opponent hasn't shown, meaning that he's advance." He lied, he then sighed. "Jesus guys, next time, handle this Tournament better."
Meanwhile Shinto left the room medical room with Sakana following behind him. "Why won't you tell me? You now have me curious..."
"Kana, just forget it. I'm sorry the way I've been acting, okay?" Shinto said. "Just know that whatever happens to me, I'll still be okay and everything else would be as well."
Now she thinks Shinto was talking crazy, what was on his mind. "Shinto, maybe I can help you if you tell me."
"Just don't worry."
They left the hospital to see Midori helping Tsunaara to the hospital. The interactions between them were still nothing but glares. He stopped at Sakana. "Sakana, heal our wounds."
Shinto was walking off, not looking back. Midori did though as he stared at Sakana who was healing Tsunaara first. "Sakana, have you got anything from him?"
"Shinto says he's sorry, but he says don't worry." Sakana stated.
"What's...wrong with Shinto?"
It was just later, Shinto was back at the stadium. He didn't felt like making anymore interactions right now. After a few minutes later, Tsunaara, Sakana, and Midori returned. It's been a 15 minute break.
"Lucky that Unka kid gave up, the Tournament bracket charts were totally off. Next match is Toshinno vs Midori."
Toshinno, Shinto brother. Midori found this interesting fight, already knowing about some of the Hyuga Taijutsu and Byakugan techniques, thanks to Shinto.
Midori and Toshinno both entered the arena with Toshinno having a smirk on his face. "You improve the last time I saw you fight. But can you keep up with me?"
"You're nothing but a casualty that needs to get out my way." Midori replied coldy
"What makes you think you can beat me you pint size Sasuke. Are you aware what I'm capable of?"
"Yes, another Hyuga that needs to be put in his place."
"Begin."
Midori took out kunai knives, knowing that he needed to keep his distance. He used the Shadow clone jutsu to summon two clones who had kunai knives with explosive tags. Tags were thrown from three angles but easily repelled by Toshinno Palm Rotation. "Heh, of course he'll use that. Which means I gotta overpowered it, all together. Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!"
Again from three angles, fireballs was sent toward Toshinno. Toshinno already knew a scape goat to this, usually the weaker fireballs came from the clones. "8 trigrams, Air Palm!" While running, he sent a gust of wind at one of the shadow clones fireballs, breezing through it. Afterwards, he proofing the clone with a finger strike to the chest. That only leaves Midori and one shadow clone, Midori again turned on his Sharingan. It was a good usage when getting in close combat with a Gentle Fist user. "Cover me." He said to his clone.
"Right." Being a clone, he activated the Sharingan to get a better precision.
"Hmph, try anything. Byakugan!" Toshinno activated his white eyes.
Midori started off with a fast jab that Toshinno but parry away by his hand, Toshinno then retaliated with a palm-strike toward his adbomen. But Midori quick speed, he was able to side step it before sweeping down his leg toward Toshinno shin.
Toshinno didn't had no way to counter besides his Palm Rotation because the clone had sent shurikens at him. He repel both the shurikens and Midori away. The, going after the clone, the Uchiha was able to get up quick as he ran up and past Toshinno, sending a roundhouse. Of course Toshinno saw it coming as he blocked the kick with both forearms but was still sent backwards due to the force behind it. He then cocked back his hand before thrusting it out another gust of wind to send down more upcoming shiurkens but it left him open for fast constructive jabs. He then attempted for another high roundhouse kick to the neck. Toshinno was able to catch it within his arm grasp, afterwards flipping Midori high into the air, leaving him open for a hard kick that sent him driven into ground. More shurikens was thrown that slightly glaze the sides of Toshinno mid-section. Toshinno grew tired of the clone immediately got rid of it with another Air Palm. Midori then cloak his hands with Lightning Release as he quickly shot over Toshinno, throwing Lightning fists at him.
Shinto was watching carefully, acknowledging Midori high improvement. "Shinto!"
Shinto turned to see Iron Lee, giving him a thumbs up. "You look energized! But I've came to tell you not to use the Inner Gates, possibly only but the first one. I don't want you straining and breaking yourself down completely."
"Thank you for the info Lee sensei." He said smiled litting up.
"Hahaha, you seem more happy than usual."
"Tch, my strategy went down the toliet. I got another one, but it might cost more of my chakra."
He stopped the Lightning fist punchss, taking out some flashbangs, it was obvious that he got some from Bakkura. Letting them off, he jumped away from Toshinno, only blinding for a few seconds. He was able to recover his sight very quick, spotting Midori very easily. But with his Byakugan, he was able to see two of them. "Cloning again?"
One of them charged at Toshinno while the other stood behind. Toshinno was getting the feeling that he was using the same tactic again. This Midori had out his katana, swinging it wildly at Toshinno. Toshinno was avoiding them with ease, it slowly realized that this one wasn't the real Midori. He can tell from the slow movements and the less caution. After another swing, Toshinno caught the blade and struck the clone in his chest. But what he didn't knew that this was part of Midori plan.
Toshinno would be shocked with a lot of volts of electricity after striking the clone It was a Lightning clone, this had Toshinno stunned while Midori was charging up Kasaigan, it was the last of his chakra so it was hard.
"I get it, he used the same strategy, but this time having his clone to be the straightforward one. Eventually, Toshinno was gonna figure out it was a clone. But the thing is, Midori wanted him to know to catch him off gaurd by a Lightning Surprise. The distraction also gave Midori enough time. Midori, even if you lose right now. You'll still become a Chūnin." Kasai stated.
Now completed, he dashed at the brought down Hyuga. Something was strange though, one side of his body was becoming pale white, then producing a red scythe. "Ngah!" He swung the scythe up at Midori.
But Midori was able to grab down on scythe with his flaming palm, breaking and canceling it down. Midori dropped, he was out of chakra. "Wait, something wrong-"
From the air, Nusuba clan members had were descending down onto the bleachers. "Shit! The Nusuba clan-"
"Everyone evacuate! All Genin and Chūnin, prepare yourselves!" Iron Lee yelled out.
"Toshinno..." Shinto growled as he jumped off from the bleachers.
Everybody was evacuating except for the Shinobi's. Midori was out of chakra, defencless to Toshinno. He was different, the left Byakugan was golden, one side of his entire body was completely pale white, and he had black markings under and over his eye. His scyther reformed as he raised it above Midori, getting ready to finish him off.
Shinto interrupted with a airbrone hook kick to the face, skidding him backwards. "Now, Toshinno, I'll end you off right here!" In anger, Shinto Byakugan turned on.
Toshinno was getting a headache though upon seeing his younger brother which is why he fled. Shinto chased after him though. Sakana jumped down to heal her friend while all other were fighters.
Meanwhile, the Kages were...not really in a tight struggle until that guy who fought Mizume came. Tsyuna crushed a Nusuba member with his Goldust but dropped forward when a kunai struck his back torso. He felt like his chakra was being supressed and he couldn't control his sand. Mizume took noticed and tried to check up on it. "Pathetic, after all the battles we've been through. You let a kunai reach you?"
"My chakra...feels weaken?" He muttered.
Mizume was going to fight her almost equal opponent until a Hidden Leaf Ninja kicked her back. "Wait...Iku?"
"Heh." He took out two twin swords, slashing them Mizume.
"Kazekage!" The Raikage yelled as he punched away the Nusuba clan members. Tsyuna got up but was sent flying into the arena by the man Atomic Dismantling Jutsu, he kept it on, trying to disintegrate him until the Raikage sent a Lightning shot at him.
"D-dad?" Tsunaara had blasted a Nusuba member away with her silver sand, she then used it to hover down over to her dad who didn't look so well. "Dad...are you okay?"
Sakana was done healing Midori, the Uchiha boy slowly stood up now that his chakra was restore and the damage was healed. "Shinto needs help, I don't think he can beat that guy alone. Something change about him."
"I come-" Sakana paused when she saw Tsunaara checking on her injured father. "I'll be right behind you." Sakana went over to Tsyuna, emitting green chakra into her hands to heal him.
"C-can...you save him?"
"I don't know but I'll try." Sakana replied. "It's hard to tell where his injures at-"
Tsyuna arm was slowly disintegrating, more like decomposing. Both their eyes widen, it must've been because of the Dismantling Jutsu was on him for a good time. "I don't...think I.."
Tsunaara embraced her father tightly as tears welled up. "Dad...please don't die!"
Platinum jumped from off the bleachers after punching a Nusuba member skull in, she then jump off the bleachers to see what was going on. Eyes widening, she couldn't believe what she saw but also couldn't let this hold them back. "Tsunaara, c'mon you have to help us fight."
"My dad is dead!" Tsunaara voice cracked as tears streamed down her face.
Platinum eyes welled up with tears too but she was able to resist. "Tsunaara, we have to move..forward. If we don't help, we'll die here."
"I'm sorry...I tried the best I can."
"It's fine Sakana, go assit the Uchiha and Shinto on getting that bastard...the Jounin and I here will be able to fend them off."
"Okay!"
Meanwhile, Shinto was leaping from tree to tree as he chased after Toshinno. "You wanted to fight me, well here I am! Stop running away you coward!"
"Ugh!" Toshinno let out a disgusted sigh, now being called the 'coward.'
Shinto then performed a backflip when seeing a Lightning Snake heading toward his way. "Humph, Unka. I didn't expect you to be a lapdog for Toshinno, you actually seem like a noble person."
"Noble indeed, but just as deadly." Unka sent multiple snakes at Shinto from his sleeves. Shinto jumped to another tree, dodging the explosion that brought down the other tree down.
"I'm not gonna waste any chakra on him. I just need to get shake him off.""Shinto!" A familiar voice called out, it was Inotenn and Midori. "The Unka guy is with them?"
"I guess, but now that you guys here. I can go after Toshinno." Shinto bolted off.
"That bastard." Midori growled.
"You can go, I'll take him down." Inotenn said. "Besides, I always wanted my rematch with him."
"Dammit, better hope that Caifee can hold him down."
Midori nodded as he jumped into the trees, helping to chase Toshinno. Unka gritted his teeth as he let out a wave of snakes at Inotenn. Inotenn compressed Wind into his palm using the Gale Palm jutsu before using his other held to bring up water release nature. "Ice Style: Frozen Waste!"
He shot the gale wind into the water release nature, shooting out sharp ice shards at the snakes, hitting one of them caused a big explosion that Unka jumped through. He tried to punch Inotenn with a explosive fist but Inotenn side stepped and spun a backhand at Unka jaw, Inotenn then used his momentum to send a side kick to Unka ribcage but Unka caught it within his arm grasp while trying to emitt another Lightning Snake. After he shot it, Inotenn bent his back far backwards to dodge it. Now in a backbend position, he kickover his feet into Unka chin, focusing him to release. Unka was able to regain himself quickly as he charged at Inotenn and sent him flying into a tree with an explosive hook kick. Unka then tried to run off to them but Inotenn made a clone that used the Mind Transfer Jutsu. "Ninja Art: Mind Transfer Jutsu!"
The shadow clone took over Unka mind and body, Unka being controlled over to Inotenn. Inotenn fist emitted into ice as he shot up a hard uppercut. Unka and the clone hit the ground as the clone disappeared, freeing Unka from the mind control. "Ugh, I used too much chakra on that battle with that fatass."
Inotenn walked above Unka, stomping down on his shoulder while taking out a kunai knife, pointing it at Unka. "Checkmate..."
"Inotenn!" Bakkura said as him and Okami were running up.
"Hey guys! Help me tie up this guy."
"Wow, you manage to defeat that explosion guy. Dude you rule." Bakkura complimented.
"He was weaken so he was much of a easy target."
Meanwhile, Sakana was blazing through leaves of trees. Shinto glanced back to see Midori had caught up. "Why are you following me? Shouldn't you be helping Inotenn?"
"I've came to help stop Toshinno, you might didn't see but he mutated into something weird."
"I already know. I'm finally gonna get answers."
"Sakana is coming."
"Figures."
Midori frowned, it was hard talking to Shinto since he became so edgy. Then both jumped out the way when a flamethrower was shot at them. Then saw that Caifee was here. "The girl who worked with Toshinno."
"She's only but a distraction."
"You won't get far if everything set on fire, Firestyle: Blaze!" From both her hands, he spread out flames into the tree, she then got shot by a Liquid Bullet that made her fell and hit the ground hard.
"Sakana, jeez you caught up fast." Midori annouced.
"C'mon guys, we need to end him."
"There is no stopping them. Feh, alright brother. This is where I end you." Toshinno had stopped on a tree branch, turning over to the original Team Seven.
Shinto, Midori, and Sakana made it to the mutanted Toshinno. "Guess this is our final curtain call Toshinno. But before we put you down, tell u- no me! Tell me why you wanted to kill me? I know the Nusuba clan wants me, but you want to kill me? Even though I had done nothing to you."
"Ya know, this is the part where I supposeto say 'I have my reasons' but since this is our battle to the death, I'll tell you everything! The attack on Konoha was because of Jōkara! He wants to rule all Five Nations, ruler of all Kage. But you see, he couldn't do it alone, he needed help. My father, heh- our father assit him by letting him join the Nusuba clan and exchange Jōkara was going to give you to the Nusuba."
"I should've know that Hinsoto had to do something with this." Shinto said. "By why he wanted me? He always thought I was a spineless disapointment."
"That's where Torisu and I come into play. Hinsoto only let Torisu live for a long time just so she can upgrade your Gentle Fist Taijutsu. Then after that, Jōkara was suppose to have sent you to the Nusuba clan, but fail terribly. Either way, Hinsoto had Torisu killed."
Shinto gritted his teeth in anger, he didn't felt surprised. Hinsoto was always a bad person in his book and this increased the reason why he'll exact his revenge on the Nusuba clan. "But you already knew, Torisu known things about Nusuba so why she didn't expose everything? That because she was scared, scared that she'll cause the biggest war since Madara revival."
"So what is your problem with me?"
"Enough of this talking, lets ace this guy." Midori said, taking out his katana. "Shinto, let's us send Nusuba a message, by killing him."
Shinto nodded, now more ready than ever.
Toshinno smirked as he, Shinto and Midori jumped to the ground. Now having their dojutsu activated. First charging was Midori, Toshinno had created another red scythe as he engaged into a wild weapon combat with Midori. Shinto tried to attack from Toshinno from behind.
Toshinno deflected Midori sword away while catching an upcoming roundhouse. He spun very fluid and fastly as he spinkicked Midori away while also throwing Shinto a tree. They got up very quickly as Midori picked back up his katana. "8 trigrams, Air Palm!"
Toshinno quickly tried to send over a very strong gust of wind at Midori, but Midori was easily able to evade the attack by jumping over it. Shinto then took the chance to send over his bandages over toward Toshinno but the mutanted Hyuga sliced through them with his scythe. While he was distracted, Midori was able to sneak in a Lightning jab to Toshinno torso, he then tried to stab in his sword into Toshinno but again Toshinno with quick reflexes, dodging the slash. That left him open for a jumping hook kick to the jaw from Shinto, then blasted through the trees by a devastating punch. "Kana...?" Shinto looked over to see that superhuman strength came from her.
"What monsterous strength." Midori thought.
"Heh, time for me to show you all that I'm not playing around." Sakana said with a smirk as she cracked her knuckles.
Toshinno was getting up though despite being hit from that. Shinto got out shurikens while Midori was preparing handseals.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Blade!"
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
An onslaught of fireballs and wind razor sharp shurikens were sent at Toshinno, causing small explosions. None of them landed though when Toshinno blew away the smoke, using Palm Rotation but the color was different, it was red this time. No scythe, he charged at three immensely. First Shinto of course.
Shinto slightly tilted his head over to avoid the palm strike, he then tried to sent one of his own which was parried by Toshinno own hand. The process of gentle fist striking and dodging continued until Shinto sent out a low kick that was blocked by Toshinno shin as he was later sent barreling into the ground with a darted out kick. Midori tried to assit by attacking with a Lightning hook, but that was caught easily as Toshinno retailated with an elbow strike to Midori adbomen that made cough up saliva, following up with a neck grab slam.
Toshinno immediately backed away to avoid another punch from Sakana, Toshinno summoned his scythe again. Cautious, she now performed a clone seal. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
She had created an army of clones, 100 in total that went charging after Toshinno. With ease, the mutant Hyuga was blitzing through the clones, scythe slashing the clones. It was more of a distraction though as the real Sakana regrouped with her friends. "Kana, the Multi Shadow Clone jutsu?" The hyuga boy was stared, surprised. "I know Mizume was good but jeez, how do you have enough chakra for this...?"
"Turns out, I'm actually part of the Uzu...meki clan? So I have a huge chakra supply, which also explains my red hair."
"Of course, everyone has a Kekkei Genkai nowadays." Midori scoffed as he got up. "So what now? I have enough chakra for a Kasaigan."
"Lets not take any chances of you using so much chakra from that. I can possibly take him down with-"
"Guys, watch out!"
A huge crimson ball of chakra was heading there way, they managed to jump out the way. Shinto thought quickly by shooting out one of his bandages around his arm, now using the Gate of Opening. He pulled Toshinno into a hard punch to the stomach, then Midori coming out of no where sent Toshinno into the ground with a Lightning charge spinning hook kick. Midori done the handseals for the Kasaigan. "I end you with this! Right now!"
Midori shot down at Toshinno, thrusting down his palm but Toshinno wasn't done yet, he produced another yet weaker crimson ball of chakra that collided into Midori Kasaigan that caused an explosion that sent Midori flying backwards with a burnt hand. "Cocky bastards!" He shot a back kick at an upcoming Sakana clone before throwing a hook punch to the left at another one, then using the palm rotation to repel more of them away but was grabbed into a full nelson by another clone. Midori got up as he and Shinto ran toward them.
"Lets get' em! Leaf Hurricane!"
"Hyaaa!"
They both sent supercharged windmill kicks to both Toshinno jaws, having blood splatter out his mouth. The Sakana clone disappeared with Toshinno following onto the ground, again he slowly got up. "I end you now. Gentle Fist Art! 8 Trigrams, 64 palms!"
He dashed at the weaken Toshinno, sending continuing finger strikes at his chakra points. "2 palms! 4 palms! 8 palms!"
He continued until he attacked all 64 chakra points. It was over, Toshinno dropped onto the ground in infuriating pain. Shinto felt satisfied as he slowly pressed down his foot hard on Toshinno hand. He taken out a kunai for threatening interrogation.
Before he can say anything, Shinto would be kicked away from Toshinno. "What..?" He spat, looking up to see Anonymous. He was confused, remembering that he made the deal with her. "What are you...doing here?" His Byakugan turned off.
"We're leaving." Anonymous picked up Toshinno, running off.
Nusuba retreated again, their plan had fail hasn't it? But they had killed the Kazekage and many other people. Shinto went crazy, again another person he felt close with was killed by the Nusuba clan. Tsyuna was like a father he never had but now he's gone, he wondered how Tsunaara felt. He couldn't help to feel bad for his younger sister-like friend. Shinto and Midori was held in the interrogation room by Kuroba. "Howdy you too, I've been told that you two fought against a boy that suddenly mutanted weirdly? I was wondering that you all got any intel?"
"Yeah. You wanna tell him Shinto?"
Shinto seem hesitated but decided to corporated. "Okay, I've been told that this has been planned out for a long time. Jōkara is apart of the Nusuba clan. They wanted to capture me hench the reason why Jōkara had taken my ninja status away so I can go somewhere else to obtain a new ninja status. But thats where Tekei the EIGHTH Swordsmen of the Mist. Whatever happen to him? You probably could've got more intel from him."
"He wouldn't corporated so we had to finish him off."
"Can we take our leave now?" Midori asked.
Midori and Shinto had left. Shinto went away with a downcast, figuring out what he was going to do with the Nusuba clan. "Hey Shinto." Midori called out.
Shinto stopped but didn't bother to look back at him. "Shinto, before this, I hated your guts. I thought I saw you in the darkness without a reason but now I know that you're hurting. Well just to let you know that I've lost someone too because of the Nusuba clan. My dad who not even a fighter tried to fight off Nusuba but died doing so. Like you, I've felt sadden and darken, but I had my brother and mother to comfort me. And now, I'm trying to comfort you, because thats what friends are for, right?"
Shinto was speechless as his eyes filled with tears, the only thing he did was give him was a thumbs up as a good sign.
So originally I was going to make Rankai the main antagonist but I realized I've made no character with him. Also I kind of fucked up with the Chūnin exams bracket which was the main reason why I've changed Toshinno antagonist and it makes way more sense if he was.
