Chapter 21

"This will be so easy." Eva muttered, as she continued walking. She opened her eyes as she stopped in front of her opponent. Kirin Yamanaka smiled as she held out her hand to shake. Eva nodded and shook her hand. Sasuke backed away, and announced for them to start the fight.

Eva jumped back to gain a little distance, forming signs in the air. She pounded her fist into the ground, and tried to encase Kirin in a pillar of stone. Kirin ran out of the way, and spit fire at Eva. Eva hissed and waved her palm, and the dirt from the ground rose up and suffocated the flame. They stopped, and stared at each other with satisfaction.

I'm surprised. She's on par with me! Kirin thought, trying to form a new plan.

Just as I expected. Perhaps I'll have to be faster than this. Eva kneeled down, staring at the arena. There were a few trees about, and the two large holes in the ground. The walls were cracked as well.

"Go, Kirin! You can do it! Kick her ass with the psyche bomb! Go go go!" Someone in the stands called. Kirin smiled. That's right--That multiple-elemental move. Have fun with this one!

Kirin readied herself for the attack. She took a small bomb out of her pocket and chucked it in the air, throwing a kunai at it to make it explode. The entire arena was encased in a dark gas, and it went pitch black. Eva looked around, scared.

She tried to create a ball of light in her palm by lighting a small ball of her chakra, but it flickered and went out. What the hell?

There was a flash of green light, and Eva felt a gust of wind. She covered her face and crouched low. Thank God she had, because a few seconds later, she was being whipped and cut by leaves and vines. They closed her in a sphere, and the wind power increased in strength.

She felt extremely cold in the next minute, and rubbed her arms with her hands while trying to kick her way out of the ball. There was a cracking noise, and she felt water sprinkling her and then freezing on her skin.

She tried to use a fire Jutsu to counter the effects of the water, but nothing was happening.

"No, damn it, no!" She shouted, trying to cast the Jutsu again.

Kirin took a deep breath, and held her hands to her mouth with the sign of the tiger.

"Fireball Jutsu!" She shouted, spitting fire at the ball. The water steamed and evaporated, and the earth caught fire, singing her hair and lightly burning her skin. The ball broke, and Eva jumped out, rolling on the ground to suffocate the flames.

The darkness drifted away, and She crawled on her hands and knees.

"What the hell was that attack?" She asked. Kirin smiled and moved her hair out of her face.

"My own little technique. Pretty cool, isn't it?" She asked.

"Eva! Come on! Get up! You can't lose now!" Sheeva shouted out. Eva looked at the direction of the voice.

She's right. I can't stop now! Let's go! She thought to herself, straining her body to stand. Kirin stared at her.

"I just beat the hell out of you, and you're standing? What is with you sand people? You don't give up!" She sneered.

"I'm not like them. I'm different!" She shouted, creating a spear of chakra in one hand and a ball of chakra in the other. She sent a trail of chakra into the ground with her foot, threading it around Kirin's foot, pinning her to the ground. She then ran for her, thrusting the ball into her stomach and then making the ball explode by splicing it with the spear. Kirin was shot back into the wall.

The dust cleared away and everyone looked to see who was still standing. One body was stuck inside the wall, and the other was to her knees.

Two medics rushed out and helped to release Kirin from the wall, and Eva worked on healing herself with the rest of her chakra.

"The winner: Eva Nairobi, from the Sand Village!" Sasuke shouted out, trying to help her stand. She pushed his hand away, and stood herself, limping into the waiting area. Sheeva ran up to her and set to healing the rest of her wounds, praising her on her good work.

Eva then hugged Sheeva and Kiba together.

"I'm glad that I have you guys here to be with. I've never needed friends like I do now. Thank you both… so much…" She whispered. She then let a medic take her to the hospital, where she lay down in the bed and quickly slept to regain her strength, hoping to be able to watch Sheeva's fight.


"These Sand Ninja… they're good this year. I'm rather surprised, Majia." A girl with short blonde hair stated, handing the other person the telescope. The other person shrugged and took it, watching as Eva hit Kirin with the sphere. He nodded, and began to sign with his hands.

Do you think that we should keep an eye on the Jutsu user, the bug kid, or the demon?

"I say all three. And, a way to make this easy will be to target the leader. So, we'll go after Baki. Unless told otherwise. We should report." She said. He nodded, and tapped her shoulder.

What will we do when we do get the three twerps?

"Imprison them. They'll be useful as a collateral." She smiled, taking his hand and walking away.


Just to let you know, Majia is mute, not deaf.

well, hope you enjoyed. the next chapter will be longer.

ciao ciao.
