(Hell's inferno arc, An unbreakable bond!)
Renkuro sat at his desk in the hidden leaf village. The new hogake, Shiroyami, had returned the other day. He had piles of paperwork to do. No one knew of Renkuro's return though. He had left many years ago. He had come back to the village after getting thrown into some space-time rift. He sighed.
"How come it's Shiroyami always getting the attantion? I know he's the hogake but…" He said to himself.
"Kill him. Kill everyone that oppses you. Make them pay." A voice said.
"I can't…He's my friend…"
"He was your friend. But now he's a self centered bastard like my uncle."
"I don't care. He's still me friend. Now leave me alone, Onitentei." Renkuro stood up and walked out the door. The village was celebrating their hogake's return. Renkuro watched with a quite displeased look on his face. "I disappeared and you never went to look for me…Now you will pay…" He walked over to the hogake mansion and let himself in by slipping past the gaurds and moving through the shadows. He went into the main office and saw Shiroyami. Shiroyami turned around and a wide grin showed up on his face.
"Renkuro! It's been far too long! And here I thought all those years I needed to save you! Must've just wandered off. Or started traveling and forgot to tell us. Anyway, good to have you back brother." He said, hugging Renkuro.
"You are a real sap, ya know that Shiro?"
"Have you come to kill him, Kuro?"
"NO!" Both Shiroyami and Renkuro yelled in unison. They both looked embarresed.
"Uh, so what brings you to my new office?" Shiroyami said, breaking the akward silence.
"I…I want to fight you for your position as hogake." Renkuro replied. Shiroyami smiled.
"Sure thing pal!"
*Scree change; Final exam arena*
Renkuro stood on one side while Shiroyami stood on the other.
The announcer stood on top of the farrest roof away. "Now, we will begin the all or nothing match, between Renkuro Darkpath, and Shiroyami Ren!" He announced. The croud cheered. Shiroyami's hair turned black and his eyes turned dark violet. Renkuro's eyes turned darker red and his hair turned white. Shiroyami was puzzeled. He charged a rasengan and charged at Renkuro. Renkuro charged a black ball in his hand and shot it at Shiroyami. He dodged and went to hit Renkuro. To dodge, Renkuro turned into darkness and appeared from a shadow behind Shiroyami. Shiroyami disappeared and reappeared in the air over Renkuro. He pulled out his sword and rammed it towards Renkuro. Renkuro put up a barrier and stopped the attack. Then, the barrier shot out a beam. Shiroyami dodged and made a few hand signs. Wood came out of the ground under Renkuro and pinned him down. Shiroyami began a spell.
"Respectful ones who sit on the mountains…The chains that bind forbidden secrets…Ruler of sky…Ruler of sea…Ruler of earth…Divide the boundries of life and death…God Arrow!" A gold bow and arrow appeared in Shiroyami's hand. He aims for his back.
"Good. That's it…" Onitentei snickered.
"No! I won't let you kill him." Shiroyami protested. The bow and arrow disappeared. The wood binding Renkuro also faded. They both jumped back into their corners. They charged at each other, with their fist towards the others face. When their hits landed there was a massive explosion. They were both blown towards the walls.
"What the hell?" Renkuro yelled out as he was blown away.
The place where they both stood, was now being a occupied by a man who looked like he was in his 50's. He was wearing a black robe made of shadows and had red eyes with black hair.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen! I'm tonight's entertainment. For my first act, a magic trick. I'm going to make you all disappear!" The man said. Shiroyami and Renkuro looked at him wide eyed. "And if you're wondering my name…It's Onitentei, Onitentei Shroudpasser."
And thus starts the filler story.
Next time: "One man army"!
