The Legend of Naruto

Chunin Exam arc

Kurama no Kyubi: This chapter, I'll end five of the fights that started in the previous chapter. Also, one of Konoha's defenders will die in this chapter and he's not coming back… unless he gets reanimated through the Edotensei.

Guest: well it looks like agahnim may potentially bite the dust for a mage without magic is one in a rather perilous situation and given the fact agahnim is rather arrogant this could potentially lead to his down fall. where as for flare I am guessin that he's found himself wiped out by kaiza rather easily due his experience being much greater than flare's . but aside from all that here's my reason for why in my alternative suggestion for the naruto/fire emblem crossover should our favorite blond hard headed hero Naruto uzumaki should hide his fox Lagruz heritage at least until the hokage can set something up which insures that naruto won't be find himself chased by an angry mob armed to the teeth with torches and pitchforks all because of his new appearance as a result of his awakening he received courtesy of the nine tailed fox which make him more fox like. of course there will come a time which he'll reveal his new heritage the first will be to his teammates in the land of waves arc when zabuza attacks them of course this revealation will lead sasuke to quite jealous about the fact that the supposed weakling he used to is much more stronger than him. speaking of sasuke the persona you gave him makes him rather how should I put this vegeta like in fact I seem to notice this persona in nearly every fanfiction that I read which involves him. as for your sonic/naruto crossover story if the power rings aren't created or have a place where they can naturally generate from then maybe they can be found in zone dungeons along with your average chaos emeralds which can grant anyone who gathers a certain amount of those regular emeralds access to a hyper drive overdrive state but of course the risks to obtain these items is much more dangerous in Naruto's world than in Sonic's for these zones are pitiless for the unprepared. sasuke and Haku vs kotake and koume I think that those witches should give a small hint to sasuke that they may have played a small part in the destruction of his clan all in order to throw off whatever team work he and haku have going for them but of course that plan may quite literally backfire on them which may result in them getting killed again for they did get kia'd in the legend of Zelda ocarina of time courtesy of one link and the mirror shield and the both of them arguing as they move onto the after life swearing that they'll be back to haunt sasuke and haku some day in the future. also I think the sooner sonic learns more about naruto's world the better and don't forget about the ring branding idea as well.

Kurama no Kyubi: You know, I'd prefer it if you keep your suggestions for my Naruto/Sonic crossover to that story. Also, I'm not gonna kill off those ancient witches yet. In fact, alone, either one of them could wipe out half of Konoha's forces, so Sasuke and Haku won't be able to kill them.

Naruto Obito Halliwell Uzumaki: Great job with the chapter, I guess that was a crazy question. Are you going to use the Skyward Sword?

Kurama no Kyubi: I suppose you mean the Master Sword since their the same blade, so yes.

Guest: I seemed to notice that at the end of your last chapter that Ganandorf was using a chess board similar to jelial in fairytale during the tower of heaven arc in order to moniter the how the battles progressing in konahona. also as for my fire emblem suggestion please do consider it alright for I think that it makes a very great story in my personal opinion.

Kurama no Kyubi: Well, I did actually get the idea for Ganondorf having that chess board from Jellal in the Tower of Heaven arc in Fairy Tail. Also, that's not going to be the only Fairy Tail reference in this arc; there'll be another one in this chapter, and one in the next one.

Guest: well now it's neji vs terra this is going to interesting for one thing I know that the gentle fist technique solely relies on striking chakra points to cause internal damage but what effect could it have to affect terra whose quite literally a walking talking humaniod mound of earth who was able to endure lee's assualt and triumph over him despite how much power he possessed at the time also terra does possess just same amount strenght naturally so this may very well be fight where one blow may very well decide who the victor may be.

Kurama no Kyubi: This review actually had a slight influence on that battle.

Guest: I am thinking a that fire emblem idea namely being naruto developing his skills as a ninja and lagruz before he goes to tellius and that kurama his tenent are working together in perfect synch inorder to change some the events in tellius and adding his own unique perspective and thoughts on matters in tellius with the grail mercenaries.

Kurama no Kyubi: Actually, if it were alright, I were thinking of having the Elemental Nations and Tellius be the exact same continent, only removed by different time periods. Though, if you want to, I could have Naruto somehow ending up in the past back when Tellius still existed.

Chapter 24: The Seven Reapers of Death Part 1

There were explosions across the village of Konoha as the Konoha-nin fought against the Suna-nin, Oto-nin, Tani-nin, and – in some cases – giant snakes.

In a certain street in the village were there two red-heads going at each other's throats. Erza swung her sword at Leo, but said Tani-nin blocked it with one of her swords before swinging her other one at the wizard, who then jumped back.

Leo then swapped her swords out with a large shuriken which had five tips, each tip leaning to the right, and there were only edges on the outward side of the tips while the inwards sides were flat and black, making them look burned.

"This is the En-Shuriken; it emits fire several times the strength of a fire Jutsu." She said before spinning the shuriken and throwing it as it was engulfed in fire.

As the shuriken approached Erza, however, she Re-quiped into a different suit of armor. She then grabbed the shuriken as it got closer before throwing it aside, the fire stopping as the large projectile hit the ground

"This Fire Empress Armor; it absorbs any fire." Erza said with a smirk.

Konoha, arena, battlegrounds, Sakura vs Aqua

Sakura swung her sword at Aqua, but the Tani-nin managed to dodge it before firing off several spears of water at the pinkette. Sakura, however, blocked them with her sword before jumping back and swinging it, causing a crescent-shaped wave of energy to be fired towards Aqua.

The wave of energy was blocked, however, as it hit a shield that appeared out of nowhere just mere inches away from her skin, covering only the area where the energy wave would've hit.

'It is definitely Nayru's Love she's using, but it's different from when I'm using it. Her shield's not as big as mine, nor does it appear around her whole body.' Sakura thought as she analyzed Aqua's technique.

"Nayru's Love: Whip!" Sakura's eyes widened as the blue shield appeared around Aqua's right hand before she clenched said hand and the shield extended outwards into a whip.

Aqua then swung the whip, causing it to wrap around Sakura's left wrist before sending the pinkette into the arena wall.

'Ugh… I had no idea that Nayru's Love could do that.' Sakura thought as she climbed to her feet before her inner self added "Don't tell me that you're gonna give up now, girl! I thought you'd stop being the one that everyone has to protect! CHA!"

'I have." Sakura stated in her mind and her inner self said "Then get out there and beat the living crap out of that girl! CHA!"

'Right!' Sakura thought before she gripped tighter on her sword and charged at Aqua.

Konoha, Hiashi vs Agahnim

(Boss #14: Number 4 of the Seven Reapers of Death, Agahnim.)

Agahnim fired another ball of magic at Hiashi, but the Hyuga head easily blocked it with a Juken strike, dispersing the spell. The wizard then fired a cluster of five balls of magic that were in a circle which spun around as they shot towards Hiashi.

It didn't take long for Hiashi to figure out what would happen if he were to strike any of the balls; the other four would shoot out in different directions, and there were no telling if Hiashi would be able to dodge or even block in time.

However, Agahnim was greatly under-estimating him.

Hiashi stood there, waiting for the balls to get closer, and when they approached him, he quickly sprang into action and quickly – before Agahnim could even blink – used both arms, stabbing his index and middle fingers at the balls before they got the chance to split-up.

Agahnim – getting a little frustrated – then shot out countless of balls of magic before suspending them in the air as Hiashi was completely surrounded, and Agahnim then brought them all towards him at once, leaving no room to escape.

"Hakkesho Kaiten!" Hiashi called out as he started spinning so quickly that a visible dome of chakra appeared around him, and all of the balls of magic were dispersed the second they hit the spinning dome, and when they were all gone, Hiashi stopped spinning.

"How come none of my attacks are working?" Agahnim asked, frustration clear in his tone.

"Juken isn't just helpful against chakra, it also works against magical energy." Hiashi explained calmly.

"Nani? You're saying that my attacks have no effect on you?" Agahnim asked, and after a few seconds of silence, he yelled "IMPOSSIBLE! There's no way that I can be bested by the likes of you!"

He then started wildly firing a continuous storm of balls of magic at Hiashi, but the Hyuga head still managed to block all of the balls with his Juken rather easily.

"NO! I can't lose! I am Agahnim, Ganondorf-sama's right-hand man, and one of the Seven Reapers of Death! I won't lose to someone like YOU!" Agahnim yelled before he cupped his hands at his side, gathering magical energy in-between his palms.

'He's gathering a lot of magical energy. Normal Juken won't help against this, so it seems that I'll have to use one of those techniques.' Hiashi thought before assuming a new stance while thinking 'Hijutsu: Juken Ougi:…'

"Etherion!" Agahnim called out as he thrusted his arms forward, sending a powerful beam of pure magical energy towards Hiashi, however, the Hyuga head then charged straight at the beam before thrusting his hand straight through it, seemingly cutting it in two before he reached Agahnim and hit him over his heart.

"Kohai no Tenohira!" The Hyuga called out as a shockwave came out of his palm, causing some of the ground behind Agahnim to be blown away as said wizard coughed up blood before collapsing down onto the ground, dead.

Hiashi then turned around and walked away. Battle near the north gate; Hiashi vs Agahnim, winner: Hiashi.

Konoha, Kaiza vs Vaati

(Boss #15: Number 7 of the Seven Reapers of Death, Vaati.)

Vaati pulled out several shuriken before channeling them with wind chakra – enhancing their reach by ten times – before throwing them. However, Kaiza managed to dodge them, despite their greater reach before weaving a series of hand signs.

"Inton: Yamiryudan no Jutsu!" He called out, creating a dragon out of pure darkness before it flew towards Vaati at top speed.

Vaati jumped out of the way for the dragon, and he landed on the heel of his right foot while holding his left foot in the air before he started spinning around so fast that he only looked like a blur. Then, a tornado suddenly formed around him before he stopped spinning and held his arm out towards Kaiza.

"Shi no Tatsumaki!" He called out before the tornado shot towards Kaiza at speeds which would be impossible to dodge for even most Kage-Level shinobi.

Kaiza – knowing he couldn't dodge it – surprised Vaati by actually jumping straight into the tornado. Once inside, he sent a mass of dark energy from his body that went out in all directions until the tornado had been completely covered in the darkness.

"Now, let me return this to you. Darkness Mirror: Shi no Tatsumaki!" The tornado then went straight back towards Vaati, but the Wind Sorcerer just held out his hand, dispersing the wind. However, then the darkness formed as a cloud before Kaiza came through it with both of his hands engulfed in darkness before he held them above his head and swung them down as he approached Vaati.

"Yamiryu no Yokugeki!" He called out, but Vaati put up a shield of wind in front of him just in time as Kaiza's fists hit the shield just a mere second later.

"I was wondering when you'd start using your Dragon Slayer Magic." Vaati said before he noticed that Kaiza's cheeks seemed to swell up.

"Yamiryu no Houko!" The former Tani-nin called out as a wave of darkness was fired from his mouth, and this time, his attack broke straight through Vaati's wind barrier and sent the Wind Sorcerer flying backwards.

Vaati then flipped around in mid-air before landing on another roof as he looked at Kaiza, who was now standing where Vaati had been before, his body reeking of darkness.

"Your Ninjutsu and your magic… now all that misses would be your Genjutsu. You disappoint me, Kaiza. After all, Genjutsu is your specialty, yet you've yet to use it. Aren't you going to live up to your other alias; Genjutsu no Kami?" Vaati said.

"I'm not a fool, Vaati. Genjutsu doesn't work on you, so I'd only be wasting chakra." Kaiza said.

"True enough. Genjutsu doesn't work on me. But you've been spending these past several years as a carpenter, so I doubt that you're nearly as strong as you once were, and at this point, you won't be able to beat someone of my level without using Genjutsu." Vaati said.

"You know. Being a carpenter does help you stay in form, so I wouldn't be too sure about that one." Kaiza said.

"Want to bet on that?" Vaati asked as a round saw blade of wind was formed in each of his hands before he charged at Kaiza while the saws started spinning.

As the Wind Sorcerer approached the Dragon Slayer, he swung one of his saws at him, but Kaiza ducked under it before delivering a punch to Vaati's gut. Vaati then brought down his other saw, but the former Tani-nin then rolled to the side to avoid it as his right hand was engulfed in dark energy.

"Yamiryu no Appakatto!" He then gave Vaati an upper-cut to the jaw, sending the Wind Sorcerer high into the air as the saws were dispelled. However, Vaati then flipped around in mid-air and remained stationary as though he could fly.

"I think we've had enough fun, Kaiza. Let's end this." Vaati said.

"Heh. I couldn't have said it better myself." Kaiza said with a smirk.

"I don't think you quite understood. You're the one who's going to die here." Vaati said.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that. After all, I've got a family to take care off, so I can't die." Kaiza said.

"I'm afraid that you don't have any other choice. I'm going to kill you now, using the strongest spell I can muster in this form. This is the end of the line for you, Kaiza. Kazaha Zenmetsu!" Vaati said before powerful winds, unlike anything Kaiza had previously experienced during his life-time swept across the area, completely obliterating all of the surrounding buildings, including the Ichiraku Ramen Stand.

As the winds stopped, Vaati looked down on his handiwork. The area had been turned it a wasteland, the only evidence of it ever having been part of the village being the chunks of wood that littered the ground.

"See, Kaiza? Your efforts were futile from the beginning." He said.

"Oh, Really?" Vaati's eyes then widened before he looked over his shoulder to see Kaiza in the air behind him, holding his arms towards him with the palms out as a ball of pure darkness appeared on each of his finger-tips.

"Yamiryu Ougi: Tensutazu no Hakai!" The balls of darkness then shot straight through Vaati's body before said Tani-nin blew up from the inside-out as waves of darkness came out of him.

Kaiza then landed on the ground before he noticed something else floating down. It was Vaati's cap, which was now red instead of purple. After the cap had landed on the ground, Kaiza then walked over it and towards the buildings that were about a kilometer away. Battle near Ichiraku Ramen; Kaiza vs Vaati, winner: Kaiza.

Konoha, Shino vs Kankuro

Shino and Kankuro stared each other down before the latter sent his puppet towards the former as a blade was ejected from the underside of the puppet's wrist. Shino the jumped back just in time to dodge the attack as the blade went into the roof tiles.

'The blade is coated with poison…?' Shino observed before the puppet's mouth opened up to shoot out a pair of kunai-bladed knifes. One of the knifes hit Shino in the forehead and the other one hit him in the torso, but then he suddenly dispersed into swarms of beetles, revealing himself to have only been a clone.

'Beetles?!' Kankuro thought in surprise before he sensed something and he ducked just in time to avoid a punch from Shino before jumping to the other end of the roof they were on.

"Good move, making a Bunshin using your beetles… and then circling behind me." The Suna-nin said.

"You're a puppet-using mid-to-long distance fighting type. I judged you to be weak at close-range battles. That Kugutsu no Jutsu of yours requires you to concentrate on operating the puppet, making it easier for openings to be found in the master's defenses." Shino said as he turned to face the Puppet Master.

"You're pretty smart, knowing a Puppet Master's weak point. However, I'm now going to show you the fundamental battle techniques using this Ninjutsu. Now you'll see what the Crow can really do!" Kankuro said before the puppet's arm opened up before a small ball was shot out of it and towards Shino, and when it approached him, it blew up, causing a poisonous purple gas to engulf half the roof.

'… This is a poison smoke bomb…' Shino thought before jumping out of the gas 'I've inhaled a bit…' He then landed on a higher roof as he looked down over the roof he'd just been on, but couldn't find any signs of Kankuro or his puppet 'I see… And the caster has now hidden himself, huh…'

He then noticed that something was behind him. It was Kankuro's puppet who had his back to him, and they both then turned around as the puppet slashed at Shino.

Konoha, Maple

Maple flew over the buildings on her broom, having been told by Syrup to find a place to hide till the battle was over. As she flew over the village, she was wondering why she had to hide, after all, she could be of great help… in her mind anyway. However, she was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't notice the stray kunai that suddenly shot past her.

As the kunai flew past her just before her eyes, she was so surprised that she lost control of her broom and pummeled down towards one of the streets. As she got closer she noticed three kids about her age that she was falling towards.

"Aaaaah! Watch out!" She yelled, causing the three kids to turn around and look up towards her.

Maple then crashed into Inari, causing both of them to fall to the ground in a rather awkward position.

"Itai. My head hurts." Maple muttered as she rose up into a sitting position before looking down at the boy she'd crashed into "Umm… You alright?"

"Inari-kun!" Moegi exclaimed as she and Konohamaru ran over to them.

"I'm fine…" Inari said as he looked up at Maple before blushing as he thought that she was the prettiest girl he had ever seen.

"I'm Inari by the way." Inari said as he and Maple both rose up to their feet.

"I'm Sarutobi Konohamaru. And this is Moegi." Konohamaru said as he gestured to Moegi before asking "And who're you?"

"I'm Maple; an apprentice witch." Maple said.

"You're a witch?!" Konohamaru asked as he took a step back.

"Yeah, that's right." Maple said.

"But didn't you just say that you were "an apprentice witch"?" Inari asked.

"I can still turn you into a frog." Maple said as she glared daggers at the Hylian from Waves, causing him to gulp before taking a couple steps back.

"Hey, Konohamaru-kun, Inari-kun, we've got to hurry, remember?" Moegi stated.

"Ah! You're right, I almost forgot." Konohamaru said.

"Hurry? For what?" Maple asked.

"We don't have time to explain." Inari said before he, Konohamaru, and Moegi started running.

"Ah, hey! Wait for me!" Maple yelled after them before she started running as well as the four of them ran towards the mountain with the Hokage faces on it.

Konoha, Shino vs Kankuro

The Crow was covered in beetles at the edge of the roof as Shino was using the same beetles to hold onto the roof-tiles as he was hanging off the roof with his feet on the wall.

'Ugh… I can't move him… That fellow must have packed his beetles into Crow's joints…' Kankuro thought as he attempted to move the puppet, but to no avail. Then the beetles started traveling down the chakra strings.

'The beetles are traveling down the chakra strings… I see now, his beetles feed on chakra… Ugh… At this rate, my location will be revealed…!' Kankuro thought before detaching the strings.

"He voluntarily severed his chakra strings…! Now…" Shino observed before the Crow's head detached itself from the body.

'Heh… Caught you off-guard. It's mere child's play for a first-rate Puppet Master to reattach severed chakra strings. Each and every part of his body – from head-to-toe – have weapons concealed within them; he's a rigged puppet.' Kankuro thought before the puppet's mouth opened up to reveal a poisonous blade as it headed towards Shino 'The needle's coated with poison… DIE!'

However, the head suddenly stopped right in front of Shino's face before falling down to the ground.

'NANI?!' Kankuro thought in surprise before looking down on his hand to see that his finger-tips were covered with beetles 'How did beetles get on my hand…? The chakra strings have been chewed off…?'

Shino then landed down on the roof beneath him before Kankuro came screaming out from his hiding place behind a chimney as he fell down while his body was starting to get covered with insects.

"What the…?! How… Where did all these beetles come from?" The Suna-nin asked.

"You're the one who dropped his guard… the beetles crawling down your chakra strings were decoys so that you didn't see the others creeping up behind you… They've been on the move this whole time… aiming for your Hitai-ate…" Shino said as he panted due to the poison he inhaled earlier.

"N-NANI?!" Kankuro screamed.

"That first swing I took at you… you thought I missed… but I was attaching a beetle to you…" Shino said.

"But… how were you able to tell my location from this one bug…?" Kankuro asked.

"I hate explaining the same thing over and over." Shino said.

'… Don't tell me…' Kankuro thought before recalling what Shino had told Naruto and Sasuke.

"Before you left the arena, I had my beetles mark you with a female scent. Even though it is almost odorless, the male of the same species can still detect it…"

"Then… this beetle on my Hitai-ate…" Kankuro said.

"That's right… she's a female…" Shino said before collapsing down on his knees while thinking 'It's the poison from the smoke bomb… It looks like I won't be able to go help you… sorry… Uzumaki Naruto… Uchiha Sasuke…' He then collapsed fully onto the roof.

Battle at the roof-tops near the center of the village; Shino vs Kankuro, winner: none.

Konoha, arena, Kage box

'Hmm hmm hmm… Hiashi and Kaiza beat Agahnim and Vaati easier than I had expected. Sure, I knew that Agahnim wouldn't stand a chance against Hiashi's Juken, but to think that Vaati's cap failed him in the end. Ah, no matter.' Ganondorf thought as he removed the pieces representing Agahnim and Vaati before looking down at the ones representing Shino and Kankuro.

'It seems their battle is over as well. Aburame Shino of Konoha and Sabaku no Kankuro of Suna… They both show great promise, and could get far in the ninja world, but for now, it seems that they've both been taken out.' He then removed both pieces, but then there were two pieces that caught his eye 'Ah, yes. Tsuchi Terra and Hyuga Neji… They're battle'll be an interesting one for sure.'

Konoha, Neji vs Terra

(Boss #16: The Ultimate Weapon, Terra.)

Terra punched at Neji, but the Hyuga prodigy deflected the attack by pushing it away with his palm. However, then Terra went in for a kick, trying to knee Neji in the gut, but said Hyuga blocked it with his palm before attempting to strike Terra in a Tenketsu in the chest, but the Tani-nin suddenly vanished, causing Neji's eyes to widen.

His instincts then told him of danger above, and he looked up to see that Terra was in mid-air and falling down towards him. He then leapt forward, just barely avoiding being crushed by the walking rock before landing on his hands and flipping over so that he was on his feet again before quickly turning around, but there weren't anyone there.

'He's moving way too fast for someone with such an heavy build.' The Hyuga thought as he looked around the place, using his Byakugan.

Just then, he noticed a small rock coming towards him from the roof of one of the buildings that were behind him to his left, and he ducked down to avoid it before it impacted with the ground, forming a small crater that was about the size of a human head.

'If that had hit me, I'd be done for!' Neji thought before turning around to look up at were the rock had come from "You didn't strike me as the kind of guy who'd shoot his opponent in the back."

"I'm not." Terra said as he walked up to the edge of the roof before continuing "But due to your Byakugan, I'm not really shooting you in the back, now am I?"

He then pointed his index finger at Neji before his finger-tip turned brown and detached itself from the finger before shooting towards Neji, who again just barely managed to dodge it.

'Terra's unusual power grants him quite a variety of attacks. Now couple that with his strength, speed, and defenses, and he's quite a fearsome opponent.' Neji thought before dodging another finger-tip by jumping into the air, towards where Terra was standing.

"And here I thought that you were the genius on your team, so you should know that you can't dodge while in mid-air." Terra said before aiming his finger at Neji again and firing.

However, Neji then threw a shuriken with a string attached to it before throwing it at the wall to the building that Terra was standing on before pulling, causing him to be pulled towards the wall, avoiding the finger-tip.

Neji then planted his feet on the wall before running up to the roof before charging at Terra, but the Tani-nin easily dodged it by vanishing, however, he noticed Neji's smirk a little too late as the Hyuga quickly turned towards the Tani-nin and struck him in the chest, over his heart.

"Heh… You may be fast, but after all the times that I've fought Lee, keeping up with you is nothing." Neji said.

"Heh heh heh… Impressive. But your attacks won't do you much good, I'm afraid." Terra said, causing Neji's eyes to widen "You see, my body is made entirely out of rocks and earth, not to mention that I can also harden it to the point where it's as strong as a diamond, so your Juken attacks won't work, I'm afraid."

"Nani?!" Neji exclaimed, never in his life having imagined that there were someone out there who were immune to Juken techniques.

Terra then punched Neji so heard that the Hyuga was sent flying off the roof before falling down towards the ground, but he managed to flip around in mid-air before landing on his feet. He then looked up to see Terra coming after him, and he leapt back just before Terra landed where he'd just been.

As Terra landed, however, a small cloud of dust was kicked up as well as some wind, causing the Tani-nin's robe to shortly blow in the wind, revealing the three slash marks in the jacket underneath that he received from Gaara, but that's not what caught Neji's attention, no, what caught his attention were the scars that could be seen through the holes. Now normally, someone with Terra's power shouldn't be able to get scars, but Neji didn't have time to think of that right now as an idea popped into his head.

"As you can see, retreat would be the best option for you. At least unless you can find some weakness in my defenses." Terra said, but he then raised an eye-brow as Neji got into the Hakke Rokujuyon Sho stance.

"I already have. Hakke Rokujuyon Sho!" The Hyuga said before appearing before Terra and started delivering a series of Juken strikes on his Tenketsu through the scars, and when he eventually reached the 64th palm, he sent Terra flying straight into the building they'd been on earlier, causing said building to collapse over the Tani-nin.

"If the Hakke Rokujuyon Sho wasn't enough, then the collapsing building should be. Now then…" Neji said before looking for Ray, using his Byakugan before finding him "Found him!" He then ran off in Ray's direction.

Battle in the village streets; Neji vs Terra, winner: Neji.

Konoha, arena, Kage box

'So, Terra lost in the end, huh? Well, that was certainly unexpected.' Ganondorf thought.

Konoha, Luna

Luna was sitting on one of the many water tanks that were on the various roofs in the village with her legs dangling off the edge while she was looking into her crystal ball. On the roofs around her were various Konoha Jonin and Chunin, all of which seemed rather eager of taking her on.

"Hikari no Luna of the Seven Reapers of Death, your days are numbered! Now I'll finally be able to get you for what you did to my parents in the last war!" One of the Jonin called out as the other shinobi said similar things. Apparently, they all had a huge grudge on her for either killing their parents, their teammates, or their senseis.

"So it seems that Terra-kun's lost. Strange, I didn't expect him to have been taken out so early. He must've still been exhausted from his match against Gaara-kun." Luna said, completely ignoring everyone around her.

"Hey! Are you even listening?!" One of the Chunin yelled.

"It doesn't matter. If she's not paying attention to us, then she's only making things easier for us." Another Chunin said.

"You're right. Everyone, charge!" One of the Jonin said, and everyone charged at Luna, but just then came a beam of light down from the sky, vaporizing everything it touched, even the surrounding buildings, leaving only the building that Luna was on intact.

"Sol Luna…" A voice behind her said.

"I was wondering when you'd get here, Obito-kun." Luna said as Obito was standing on the closest building behind her "Or would you rather want me to refer to you as Power-kun? You know as well as I do that great power never truly leaves your body, even if it's removed. Even when you die, it won't leave your body."

"Luna, tell me, why did you side with Ganondorf after he killed his father? From what I hear, you was the Yondaime's most loyal ANBU." Obito said.

"My allegiance goes to the Tanikage, and Ganondorf-sama is now the Tanikage." Luna said.

"Is that something that you keep on telling yourself, hoping that it's true? Or do you have some other agenda?" Obito asked.

"What are you getting at?" Luna asked.

"I encountered Zabuza and Haku yesterday, they told me that you had told them all about this invasion." Obito said.

"Oh? Is that true?" Luna asked.

"You could leave Tani and rather become one of the Seven Angels of Purgatory." Obito said.

""Seven Angels of Purgatory"? I'm afraid I have to decline, besides if you're looking for a powerful Genjutsu user, then there is an even better choice than me." Luna said before rising to her feet as she added "Though, I'll have to admit that the title "Angel" fits better on me than "Reaper"." Then, the blinding light around her grew much dimmer to reveal a pair of large feathery white wings with there being seven rows of feathers on each wing and each row of feathers having a different color from the rainbow.

Konoha, Zabuza vs Onox

(Boss #17: Number 5 of the Seven Reapers of Death, Onox.)

Onox swung his large metal ball at Zabuza, but the missing-nin dodged it before swinging his sword at the armored knight, who blocked it with his chain before pulling the metal ball towards himself, forcing Zabuza to jump back.

Onox then started swinging his ball around, and once he figured he'd build up enough speed, he launched it at Zabuza again, but once again the missing-nin dodged it. However, the ball hit one of the support pillars of a water tower, causing said tower to collapse over the ground, forcing both Zabuza and Onox to jump away to avoid being crushed.

'A water tower, huh?' Zabuza thought before weaving a series of hand signs "Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu!"

A dragon of water then burst out from the water tank before shooting straight at Onox, pushing him backwards as it hit him, but it wasn't enough to do more than that.

"That the best you can do?" Onox asked.

"Far from it." Zabuza said as he weaved a hand sign and two water clones suddenly emerged from the water at Onox's feet, and before the General of Darkness could react, they swung their swords upwards, making deep cuts in Onox's armor.

Onox then swung his ball at them, destroying both of them, but he failed to notice Zabuza weaving a new series of hand signs.

"Suiton: Daibakufu!" Then a large vortex of water suddenly came from the water at Onox's feet before slamming into the guy, pushing him backwards to the wall of a house as many new cuts appeared across his armor.

Zabuza then charged at him, and before he could retaliate, the Kubikiribocho made contact with his armor before tearing straight through it and sending him into the building, causing it to collapse down on top of him.

"It's over." Zabuza said before turning around and walking away.

Konoha, Neji

Neji was standing in front of the Konoha library, wondering what Ray wanted in there. He then walked in, but not seeing any trace of the Tani-nin, he walked to his right before rounding a corner where he saw that one of the book-shelves had been destroyed to reveal a hidden door. He then walked down the dark staircase, knowing that Ray must be somewhere below.

Konoha, Zabuza vs Onox

As Zabuza continued walking, he heard the sound of rubble moving, causing him to stop. He then turned around to see a dark silhouette with glowing red eyes rise from the ruble as his armor fell off him.

The silhouette then walked towards Zabuza, and the missing-nin's eyes widened when he saw the silhouette's face.

"Y-you're…!" He didn't get any further than that as the silhouette cut through his neck with a sword wrapped in darkness.

Battle near the village's eastern gate; Zabuza vs Onox, winner: Onox?

Character information

Name: Aburame Shino.

Age: 12

Affiliation: Konohagakure.

Affinity: Beetles.

Likes: Bugs.

Dislikes: Carnivorous plants.

Bio: Being born into the Aburame clan, Shino went into a contract with beetles, becoming a nest for the bugs as they would fight for him. Being an Aburame, he tends to keep to himself, though while in the academy, he still found a friend in Kiba. (Kurama no Kyubi: I couldn't think of much more information on him, but can you blame me?)

Kurama no Kyubi: Well, that's yet another chapter done, and it seems that the first of Konoha's defenders – not counting the unnamed Jonin and Chunin – have kicked the bucket, and who would've guessed that it'd be Zabuza? Now then, next chapter another one will die, and you might be able to figure out who that'll be.
