Chapter 14: Tetsu vs. Shiin

Tetsu watched in horror as his students were literally kicked to a different location. That katana wielding woman is faster and stronger than he originally thought. He doesn't know if his genins can handle her all by themselves. He prays that they can last long enough for him to finish this archer.

Glancing over at the archer named Shiin, Tetsu noticed he is distracted by his comrade show of strength. He can take advantage of this. Let's see how this ninja is against ninjutsu.

Tetsu start going through the hand seals of his second favorite jutsu. He suck in the air through his nose, bringing his right hand to his mouth. "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

A giant fireball spew out of the red haired jounin's mouth and towards Shiin. The fireball burns a bright orange red color. He smirks when the jutsu about to hit. The ninja must have the reaction speed of Maito Gai to dodge the incoming attack.

When the jutsu hit the target, Tetsu was please and sort of disappointed. He had thought the enemy would have brought more of an challenge by the way he talked. It has been awhile since he had a true challenge. So you can guess his reaction when an arrow came out of the fireball and straight towards his heart.

Tetsu cursed under his breath. He didn't think an archer could do something like that. In fact, he never fought against an archer before. They are pretty rare in the ninja world. Almost instantly, he went to get a kunai from his holder but he doesn't have enough time to raise his knife up and block it. So instead, he threw it up just in time to block the arrow that was about to pierce his heart. He blocked it in the nick of time.

Shiin whistle when he blocked his attack. "Holy shit pretty boy, I gotta give you some props for blocking my attack like that. I never saw anyone did that before." He has to tell Ryuseki about this after he kills the Leaf ninja. He would be as shocked as he was.

Honestly, Tetsu is kinda impress with himself blocking that fetal arrow like he did. He has to brag about this to Inari when he comes back from the mission. She might even go on a date with him afterwards. But before he even starts thinking about that, he first needs to kill a certain Sound ninja. "I try my best to please." He said with a cheeky grin.

"Oh," Shiin drew another arrow. "I bet you do.," He winked at Tetsu, giving a cheeky grin of his own, showing off his pearly whites.

Tetsu is getting a strange feeling that he is talking about a different type of pleasing than he is. Ridding himself of that suspicion, he mentally goes down the list of jutsus he knows. He think he has one that may cause some serious damage. Let's see how fares against his other fire style jutsu.

Monkey, Bird, Dog, Ram. "Fire Style: Flame Hurricane!" Fire erupts around the Tetsu's body in a spiraling manner which is then launched with his hands towards the, soon to be burned alive, target.

Shiin tsk while shaking his head in a comedic manner. They just don't learn. His jutsus can't reach him as long as he has his trusted bow and arrows to supply it. But in this case, let's humor the foolish ninja.

He spread his arms out wide, basking in the heat of the jutsu. Tetsu raise an eyebrow at the sight; he wonders what the ninja has plan. The Jutsu hits, causing Shiin to be lift up in the air in a spiral manner. The fire quickly consume the Sound ninja, leaving only ashes of the man. Tetsu watch as his enemy's charred remains fall gently on the ground like snowflakes on a winter day. That was too easy. There's no way he should be dead after his show of experience with the bow. Tetsu readied himself for an immediate counter attack.

Tetsu start feeling the ground underneath him shaking. "Earth Style: Stone Column Spears.," he heard from a distance. Tetsu jumped high in the air to dodge the rock pillars that was about to skew him.

Next thing he knows, Shiin is a arm length away from him, his arrow drawn, itching to let go. He has point blank range to kill him. Tetsu has no room or the reaction speed to dodge the attack. This the end.

Shiin let go of the string of his bow and drawn another arrow, and another one, and another one. All aimed for his shoulders and legs separately. His sadistic smile made Tetsu snarled in anger.

Shiin landed gracefully while Tetsu landed with a big thud. He laughed. "I thought you said you try your best to please me." He took out another arrow and start twirling in between his fingers. "I'm hardly sweating over here. Maybe I should have got the genins instead of Saya." He locked the arrow in place in his bow. "That feral looking boy was kind of cute." That should get his enemy riled up.

And riled up Tetsu is. Guess that's enough information gathering. He took out the arrows protruding out of his body before standing up. He place his fingers in a cross. "Shadow Clone Jutsu." Let's see how he fares against some taijutsu.

Twenty clones of the experience jounin appeared out of thin air, ready to kill the enemy in front of them. Since the Sound ninja is a archer, then he must not be as adept in taijutsu than most ninjas are. He had heard that archers are focus their time on long range combat, completely ignoring any chances to strengthen their close range abilities. He can exploit this. Plus, there is no way he can destroy all of them at once. Each of the clones took out a kunai and readied them. They rushed in like stampeding elephants. He needs to finish this quickly and still have enough chakra to help his and Daichi's students. His students chances of surviving against that ponytail woman is getting lower for every second he is fighting against Shiin. Daichi's students should be okay as long they are with the former Rain ninja himself.

Shiin starts smiling like a mad man. That's right, keep underestimating him. It makes it all the sweeter when he kills them. Oh, how he loves to play with these kind of ninjas. Two arrows should be enough to take all out the majority of those good looking pesky clones and the original. He fired the arrow already load up in his bow then quickly fired another in the span of two seconds. He twitches his pointer and middle finger slightly as the arrows flew towards their opponent.

The clones and Tetsu saw the arrows coming straight at them. They ones in the kill zone dodge the attack skillfully and kept on charging. Three of the clones just poofed out of existences. What the hell happen; they were sure they got out of the way. Another five just got snuffed out. Tetsu wonders what kind of technique he is using.

Shiin, with posthaste, fired another two arrows at them. Like before, the clones in the kill range dodge them. Also like before, another eight of them disappear from existence in a cloud of small white smoke. Luckily for Tetsu and the four clones that are still alive, they are finally in range for hand to hand combat. It's time to finish this.

Shiin grip his bow firmly, readying himself for the first blow that will start this little skirmish. A clone aimed a punch to his head which Shiin gracefully moved it to the side with his bow then elbowed it in the gut. Using his superb peripheral vision, he saw another clone coming at him from behind. He immediately turned to face the clone and whipped it across the face with his bow, then faced the clone he elbowed. He slung his bow on his shoulder momentarily to have a grip to hold on to the clone's jounin's vest. He hoisted him over his shoulder and threw it at the clone behind him, causing both them to leave the physical plane known as the living. Three more left to go.

Tetsu is quite surprise and impress with the ninjas fighting style. Shiin caught a kicked to his side with his bow. He twirled the bow, causing the assaulter to be lift off the ground, spinning in the air. Our red hair jounin never heard of an archer using his bow as an extension of himself. It is like he has an extremely long arm instead of a bow. The clone starts falling to the ground. In matter of seconds, Shiin took out a arrow from his quiver, twirling it in between his fingers before crouching down with the arrow tip right under the clone that is falling. Another one of Tetsu's clones left a little bit too soon for his liking. Now he's left with his last clone. He's got to make it count. It seems it's time to use that technique.

He increased his speed by focusing chakra to his legs. He aimed a roundhouse kick to Shiin's head. "Leaf Hurricane!" He shouted as he kicked his enemy.

Shiin brought his bow up to block the attack. He heard his bow crack under the pressure. His eyes widened hearing his precious bow giving in to the attack. This is his favorite bow too. This bow is the only thing he kept from his days from the Cloud Village. Tetsu contort his body to place his hands on the ground. He spins his body to kick him in the ribs. Shiin felt a rib or two being broken from the impact of the attack.

He glance down at the ninja who hurted him. He was planning on playing with his new toy for a little while longer but not anymore. He is going to fucking kill this man. All of a sudden, his view of the man whose hands on the dirt ground change to feet into his face. Tetsu had substituted with his clone to led up with his assault.

"Leaf Rising Wind!" The clone shouted, kicking Shiin high up in the air.

Shiin coughed up the familiar iron taste of his own blood. Tetsu jumps up high in the air, being a couple of feet above Shiin. He narrowed his eyes on the archer's drawing shoulder. Without that arm, the ninja is useless. He raises his left leg high, focusing more of his chakra into it. "Leaf Flash Kick!" He brought down a powerful axe kick on the young man.

Shiin felt his arm being dislocated from its socket and most of his bones break from the impact. He came down like a meteorite falling from the sky. A little crater was formed from the impact. Tetsu landed calmly on the ground breathing somewhat heavily. He had placed a little too much chakra into that kick. He check the motionless body in the crater. He's dead all right. He dispelled his clone and released a breath of relief. Now he can help his students. He turned in the direction Saya kicked his genins.

Weird, he suddenly feels a sharp pain in his stomach. He looks down and sees an arrow protruding out of him. Impossible, he killed the man. He looks at the supposedly dead Sound ninja. There's a fucking log there now. Tetsu grimaced at the pain, cursing himself for celebrating too early. Guess he is a bit rusty. He dodged another arrow by hitting the ground. He crawl behind some trees for cover. He slowly take out the arrow in his stomach, hoping it won't leave splinters or rupture anything. Once the arrow is out, he starts focusing his chakra into his hands and place them over the wound. He never thought that healing lessons for all Anbu agents would be so useful. Feeling somewhat better, he stop healing himself.

He tsk at the situation he is in. How is he going to get out of this one.

Shin blinks for a second to rid the pain he's feeling in his left eye. His bow can only take a couple more hits before breaking. "Sniper eye," He whispered. He start focusing chakra into his eyes. Able to see clear as day from the distance he is camping at.

He drew another arrow, locking it in place on his bow. He focus on the tree Tetsu is hiding behind. About 100 yards, too easy for him. He breath in, bringing the bow string back. He aims at approximately where Tetsu's head should be. He releases the string as he exhaled, "Secret Technique: Super Bow String: x4."

The arrow traveled at great speed towards Tetsu. Hearing only a split second of the disruption of the air flow, he hastily dropped to the ground. The tree he was hiding behind broke into two. Tetsu is glad of his training in the Anbu or he would never heard that attack coming. He mentally chuckled; it seems he is thanking his Anbu training a lot in this mission. Guess it's because of the fog. It's making him remember the old days.

Based on the trajectory the arrow landed and how he couldn't hear the damn thing till the last second, Tetsu deduced that Shiin is pretty far away from him. Approximately 90 to 100 yards away. Just like an archer, using the distance as a advantage in battles. In Tetsu's vast arsenals of jutsus, he has nothing to even reach whatever distance the Sound ninja is at. Wait a second. Actually, he has only one technique that could reach that distance but he needs a diversion to use it. The jutsu unfortunately also has a charge time before using it. He brought forth ten shadow clones then he took out a kunai, focusing his chakra into it.

Shiin watched as Tetsu's clones start charging where he thinks he is. He's curious at what the enemy ninja is thinking. From the little fist fight they had, Shiin knows that his enemy isn't the type to do something without a plan. Unfortunately, he doesn't know if one of them is the real jounin or not. He drew another arrow; it matters not to him. He is going to die on this day. He let the arrow go, aimed at the one in the far back. That Tetsu blew up in a cloud of smoke. Without delay, Shiin drew another arrow and let it go. Another one of the clones blew up in a cloud of smoke. Two down, eight left to go.

Shiin narrowed his eyes on his next target. "You can't escape my sight sexy." He muttered.

The clones kept on charging, hearing their brothers being taking down left and right. They must keep on with their reckless charge just like what the original planned. Another one of the clones poofed out of existences. Tetsu continue to focus his chakra into his kunai, soaking in the information his clones are giving him. The amazing side-effects of the Shadow Clone Jutsu. His kunai starts to sparks. It's almost ready.

Shiin took out the last of the clones. None of them seems to be the real one. He guess the Leaf ninja's plan was to make him run out of arrows. He grins when he summon an replacement of arrows from a seal on his quiver; guess his plan failed. He raised an eyebrow, noticing sparks flying where the clones started running from. "Gotcha." He muttered.

He drew his arrow, pulling his bow's string back, narrowing his eyes on the dead person in front of him. No more playing around. This is last time he can fire his bow. Matter as well make it a big one. The Leaf ninja deserves it. You know, being cute and all. Plus for making him extremely livid for cracking his favorite bow, making him discard it. He notice Tetsu running towards him at great speed with his hand sparking with blue lightning. He smirks; so the clones true plan were to pinpoint his location. Smart Leaf ninja, very smart indeed.

"Secret Technique: Super Bow String x10" He released the arrow, causing his bow to break in half. But not smart enough. There is no way he can reach him from that distance with whatever jutsu he's using.

"Lightning Blade Kunai Cutter", Tetsu threw his kunai when hear the same disruption in the air from before.

The lightning coated kunai traveled at speeds similar to a lightning bolt. The arrow and the kunai meet. Shiin smirk when he heard a tiny explosion. Then his smirk falter when he saw the kunai keep coming towards him. That's impossible, there is no way his arrow could have lost against a stupid kunai, no matter what kind of chakra it is coated in. Fearing the end might be near for him, he instinctively go through his hand seals of a jutsu.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall!" He slam his hands down, creating a giant earth wall.

The kunai went through the wall like it was paper. Hold on a second, this jutsu seems familiar to him. Why? Hearing the explosion of the kunai meeting the ground jogged his memory. Ryuseki had told him he went against a ninja a couple years back who used the exact same jutsu as this Leaf ninja. The man still has the scar from the attack. It can't be the same ninja, the chances of that are 1000000 to 1. But what if it is the same ninja, then he has to tell Ryuseki. That would explain why he didn't react to the sounds the fog is making other than that one time. He has experience fighting in it. Shiin chuckled; Ryuseki is going to love this news. He threw his busted bow on the ground and travel where he thinks Ryuseki is. Shiin had a feeling this mission was going to be fun.

Tetsu sits on the ground when he couldn't hear or feel the Sound archer presence anymore. Since he mainly used taijutsu instead of ninjutsu he is known for, he still has a lot in the tank to help his students. Sadly, after using one of his signature jutsus and his very own combo, which he dubbed, Leaf Red-Shadow Combo, he needs a moment to recover. He should be in fighting shape in two minutes, four max. He took off his bandanna to let his hair breath.

"Please be okay guys. I'll be there soon." Tetsu hopes he will make it in time to save his students. Just two minutes, he overly exaggerated sighed. Two long minutes.

A/N: You were expecting part two of Team Two's fight, but it was I, Dio!

...

Anways, I hope you all enjoy this fight. In all the fights for this arc, this one has to be the easiest to write. Only because I watch a shitton with people fighting with their bows. In awesome news, this story has reached 2k views. In my opinion, I never thought this would happen. I thought this would be one of those failed Naruto SYOCs, not because of my ability of writing it, but because it's bad and no one would want to read it.

I guess I have to thank ShinBP for this. He helps a lot in this story. I like to think I became a better writer because of him.

Enough of that mushy BS, I got some other news. If any of you like Code Lyoko, I wrote an oneshot for the series. Also, I'm thinking on drawing the characters of this series since, honestly, this is my favorite story to write and I want to give it more love. It's still kinda up in the air since I'm terrible at drawing since I stopped back in midde school, but I'm rambling now. Please give this story all the love you think it deserve.

Till Next Time.
