THE FAN GANG STRIKES

The arena explodes with cheers and ovations.

70,000 people gathered in the Tanzaku Arena are electrifying the building with their excitement as they wait for the show to begin.

"Hearing all these people brings a smile to one's face, doesn't it, Black Zetsu?"

"It's bringing me a headache, is what it's doing." Black Zetsu grumbles.

"Good evening, everyone!" White Zetsu ignores his companion's whining and addresses the audience. "We're live for today's episode of Shippudown, only one week after the amazing display at Warmania 3!"

"Amazingly boring display. No one even got maimed. Well, except for Tobirama." Black Zetsu cackles.

"Lined up for today, we'll start with a tribute to Butsuma Senju who retired after Warmania 3 from his son Hashirama. After that is the eternal rivalry between Muu and Gengetsu, following by the equally eternal rivalry between Hiruzen and Danzo."

"I look forward to how Danzo's going to screw him over. After that, Minato has a chance to restore his honour against Ay, after losing his championship belt to him in Warmania 3. Last but not least, the ladies will close us off as Tsunade and Mei square off."

The light grow dim.

"Oh, I think it's starting! How fun."

"Bah."

Select headlights switch on to create a light show in the darkened arena, moving back and forth in a synchronized motion.

Smoke fills the platform that leads up to the ring.

The titantron switches on, playing highlights from the career of one Butsuma Senju.

The crowd cheers the display and they only get louder when Hashirama "The Wood" Senju enters on stage.

It's typically a big show when a wrestler comes to the ring, doing their absolute best to entertain the loving fans. Today, however, there's no flair to his entrance. Today, he's a son here to honour his father.

"I still can't believe Butsuma retired." White Zetsu wipes away a tear.

"Took him long enough! Maybe now we'll get some actual wrestling when the Fan Gang beat the crap out of the Forest Losers."

"Oh, shush you."

Hashirama walks up the steel stairs, goes under the ropes, and walks around the ring for a bit. He absorbs the atmosphere and the people chanting his father's name. He looks over the gathered audience with a wide smile on his face.

Satisfied, he walks to the edge to request a mic and is immediately given one.

"Keep it short!" Black Zetsu boos Hashirama.

"We're supposed to be impartial!" White Zetsu scolds his colleague.

Hashirama waits a moment for the crowd to quiet down.

"My father dedicated his life to the WCE. I remember being over there with all of you, cheering him on as he won title after title. I knew back then that I wanted to do nothing more than to stand by his side. And I did. The one thing I never really thought about… was the day I'd no longer be fighting by his side. However, I don't plan on letting this slow me down. I will carry on his name and his legacy, and will continue to follow him example by giving all of you-"

He's interrupted by loud rock music from the titantron. Music he's far too familiar with for his liking. The bitter rivals of his family- the Fan Gang.

The crowd boos them before they even set foot on the platform and it somehow gets worse when they do.

Tajima Uchiha walks out carrying a mic, flanked closely by his sons Madara and Izuna.

It takes a solid two minutes for the crowd to lessen their booing while the Fan Gang just watch on with smug expressions. Izuna even eggs them on more.

Tajima can't contain his laughter at Hashirama's puzzled expression. "Don't look so surprised. He was my friend, you know."

The crowd boos him.

The Fan Gang begin walking toward the ring at a slow pace, taking in the soured atmosphere.

"I spent so many years fighting him in that very ring. It's like a part of me has left, you know?" Tajima clearly mocks him. "Actually, instead of telling you, why don't I show you how me and your dad got along?"

The Fan Gang rush to the ring.

"They're attacking Hashirama?! Now?! This is supposed to be a tribute to a great wrestler, this shouldn't be happening!"

"It should and it will!"

Izuna gets on the ring first and is met by a barrage of punches from The Wood. When Madara gets in, Hashirama switches targets as Izuna stumbles back, dazed from the punches, but regains himself soon.

"This isn't fair! Hashirama has to defend against the two of them."

"I think it'll be three in a second."

Tajima joins the fray and completely solidifies Hashirama's fate.

"With three people against him, the only thing he can do is defend. There's no way out of this."

"Exactly. Butsuma is retired, Tobirama is retired; he's all alone! There's no one to save him. Maybe now he'll learn the realities of wrestling."

"What're you even talking about? Ganging up on someone isn't wrestling!"

"Then you're doing it wrong."

Hashirama tries to swing back but his arm is caught mid-swing and the pummeling continues.

Izuna places his arm across Hashirama's chest for what's usually a set up for a Side Slam. Instead of dropping Hashirama on his back, Izuna first spins him around before thrashing him into the ground.

"There it is! The Kaleidoscope!"

Hashirama barely manages to get himself back to his feet before Tajima grabs him and does the same motion.

"Another Kaleidoscope?! This is way too cruel!"

Not patient enough to wait, Madara grabs Hashirama and forces him to his feet to deliver the third and final Kaleidoscope.

This time Hashirama doesn't even have the strength to get back up.

"He can't even get up anymore! Oh, now what's Madara doing?"

Madara slides off the ring and goes next to the commentators' table. He pushes the announcer away and grabs the steel chair they were sitting on.

The crowd throws insults at him, especially the ones at the front row, although they quickly shut up when Madara flexes against them.

"No, no, no! You've already done enough!"

"That's it! Break him!"

Suddenly, the lights go out.

The crowd gasps as complete darkness now fills the arena.

"Wait, what? What's happening this time?"

"It's just one thing after another today."

Suddenly, the very distinct sound of someone or something thudding against the ring mat is heard throughout the arena. Again and again and again.

"Wait, what is that? Are they still beat Hashirama even in the dark?"

"Or maybe Hashirama is fighting back?"

The light turn back on to the sight of Tajima Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha lying on the ground besides Hashirama with one man standing above them holding a baseball bat.

"It's… It's…"

"It's the forgotten brother, Itama?! Here?! Now?!"

Itama holds up his bat to a fuming Madara. "Come on!"

Madara runs back to the arena with the steel chair but Itama immediately strikes him. The steel chair bounces against Madara's head and he's sent flying back against the rope. Itama continues to hit him in the chest before finally sending Madara flying over the ropes.

"Ah, look! Tajima and Izuna are crawling their way."

"Although that's not stopping Itama from trying to give them a farewell swing."

"They're finally retreating, thank God. Itama has saved the day, in the absence of his father and elder brother. Could this mark a new day for the Forest Squad?"

Itama leans down and helps his elder brother up to his feet, while the Fan Gang retreat. Hashirama looks up to his brother and gives a slow and pained nod of approval and gratitude.

"We'll get you!" Madara shouts. "We'll get you for this!"

Muu has never been one for showing off. He enters the ring quickly and gets ready to do his job.

He enters the hall and walks to the ring with purpose.

"This is a man I can respect. He's here to do a job and he does it. No games, no gimmicks. Just wrestling."

"This is why people don't like you, you know. Or Muu. Wrestling is all about the audience and putting on a show for them."

"Agree to disagree."

"The following match is staged for a one-fall. From Iwagakure, Tsuchi no Kuni, weighing 122 lbs, 'NULLMAN' MUU!"

The crowd boos him the entire time he's present on the platform and in the ring.

"Look at this. Pure efficiency. You people know nothing."

The boos turn to cheers when the music on the titantron changes, to something more upbeat and jovial. Smoke fills the sides of the platform but never actually goes past the barrier so the people at the very front can still see.

Gengetsu Houzuki runs out to the cries of his fans.

"And his opponent, from Kirigakure, Mizu no Kuni, weighing at 166 lbs, GENGETSU 'JOKEY BOY' HOOOUZUKIIII!"

With a single swift movement of his arms, Gengetsu silences the crowd's deafening cheers. A motion he's done many times before, a motion that the crowd has come to expect probably even more than his fights themselves. He keeps his arms extended, palms facing the crowd, and observes. He waits for the last people to quiet down.

"He's just wasting time!" Black Zetsu complains. "If you're going to wrestle, then wrestle!"

"Shh." White Zetsu waves his hand in front of his colleague to silence him. "This is the best part."

Gengetsu lowers his left arm and walks over to the right side of the platform. He curls his fingers and leaves only his thumb out. He presses his thumb to the centre of his brow and swipes it across where his right eyebrow would be.

The moment he does, the crowd on the right side of the arena explodes. 35,000 people begin chanting.

"No!"

"Eye!"

"Brows!"

"No!"

"Eye!"

"Brows!"

"No! Eye! Brows!" White Zetsu chants along.

Gengetsu lowers his right arm and extends his left arm again. He walks over to the left side of the platform and does the exact same motion as before- he swipes his left thumb over where his left eyebrow would be.

The left side of the arena immediately joins the chanting. The full arena roaring shakes the arena itself.

"NO!"

"EYE!"

"BROWS!"

"NO!"

"EYE!"

"BROWS!"

"Stop! Wasting! Time!" Black Zetsu pounds on the commentator's table.

"But you don't have eyebrows, either; you're on the same team."

"Oh, shut up."

With his ritual complete, Jokey Boy makes his way to the arena. He slides into the ring, under the lowest rope and the bell is rung to signify the start of the match.

"Finally, we can- Wait, what's happening?"

As soon as Gengetsu stands up, Muu rushes him and hits him in the stomach with a Spear, sending the both of them flying through the middle rope.

"Muu! Muu just jumped out of the ring before Gengetsu could even react. It's already turning into a melee before the match could truly start!"

"They're going at each other like animals. This is the kind of show the audience deserves! Pure brutality!"

Muu hits Gengetsu with a series of punches that sends Jokey Boy stumbling back and falling on the steel stairs. Muu kicks him in the chest over and over, causing him to hit the back of his head with a resounding boom.

"Just listen to his empty head thudding against the stairs!" Black Zetsu laughs.

"This- This is bad! The referee's already started the count for ring-out but Muu's not showing any signs of getting back in."

"Why do you need them back in? You said it's about putting on a show, right? This is a show!"

Gengetsu manages to regain enough of his senses to grab onto Muu's foot and trip him over. Muu slams face first on the steel stairs, right next to Gengetsu who stands up and turns the tables. He grabs Muu's head and bashes his face against the stairs.

"Huh." Black Zetsu sounds impressed. "I didn't think Jokey Boy had it in him."

"Someone really should put an end to this."

"Gah, you're so weak willed."

Gengetsu leads Muu away from the stairs and slams him in the fencing that separates the audience from the ring. He gives the one standing front row a very good view of him beating Muu. Some even try to get in a few hits in, as well.

Muu manages to turn the tide once more and hit Gengetsu with enough strength to force him to let go.

The two engage in a good old fashioned slugfest.

The referee gives the order to ring the bell. Both contestants have been disqualified after a count-out.

However, this doesn't stop them from beating the everling hell out of each other.

The ref tries to break them apart but is only pushed away. It takes several guards to eventually break them apart and drag them away from the arena.

"Welcome back to the thrilling second part of Shippudown! Right now we have Hiruzen and Danzo duking it out in the ring."

"Hiruzen's just jumping around all over the ring."

Hiruzen ducks under Danzo's swing and then immediately jumps to avoid the leg sweep. He runs around from ropes to ropes to building momentum.

"Well, he's called Monkey for a reason, you know. This unpredictable fighting style is why he's so successful in the ring."

"Danzo's not giving into his shenanigans, though. Look at him, calmly observing and calculating Hiruzen's movement. It's only a matter of time until he's the one leading this match."

"That's entirely possible. Hiruzen's agility versus Danzo's tenacity, which will come out on top? I'm sure Danzo's itching for a victory, though."

"You're right, Danzo's been getting more and more agitated as time goes by. I hope he can stay focused long enough to beat the crap out of that damn Monkey. Hiruzen's come out on top time after time and that frustration's been building up for years."

"You're right, it just hasn't been the same since Danzo betrayed Hiruzen and cost them the Tag Team Championship belt. Things have been strained even with Hashirama and Tobirama who mentored them both and got them into the business."

"That's what happens, sometimes you just have to look out after yourself. Can't always rely on others."

"But that doesn't mean you have to-"

"Ah! Look at this! Danzo finally got hold of him! This is his signature move, the Dream Eater!"

In the ring, Danzo's holding onto Hiruzen's head in his right hand, squeezing him with all his strength and pushing him to the ground. Hiruzen is brought to his knees.

"But he's not giving up! Look! Even while grappled, he's trying to punch his way out of it."

"No way Danzo's giving up, though. Look at his feral expression, he's determined to end this here and now."

"I don't know, that looks more pained than feral. Maybe Hiruzen's doing more damage than we think."

"Impossible. Danzo's Dream Eater is-"

"He's free!"

"What?!"

"Hiruzen's free and returning the favour in kind. He's punching Danzo in the stomach and now… Now he's finishing it with a donkey kick!"

"He's supposed to be a monkey, not a donkey; pick an animal! Oh, what's this? Danzo was sent flying right into the referee!"

The ref falls on his back with a loud thud and falls off the ring.

"The referee is out cold! By God, what is happening right now?"

"Hiruzen's not letting up, though. He just knocked a man out cold but he's continuing to pummel Danzo into the corner. I have to admit, I'm surprised by how cold some of these softies have gotten."

"Now Hiruzen's lifting Danzo up on the corner. Is he planning to end this?"

"Sure looks that way." Black Zetsu grins.

"What are you so happy for, I thought you were rooting for Danzo?"

"I root for whoever is the most ruthless, and Hiruzen's being pretty ruthless right now. There it is! Hiruzen's climbing up on the corner and getting ready for it."

Hiruzen, facing his opponent on the ropes, places Danzo's arm over his own neck and jumps off, sending them both colliding with the ground.

"The Monkey Leap! This is it! Now Hiruzen's going for the pin, but… but…"

"There's no referee, you idiot! You knocked him out, remember?"

"Quick, someone get a new ref in here!"

A moment later, a new referee does come out to the platform but not in the way anyone expected. A referee comes flying and lands on the metal flooring with a loud thud.

"Wait, what?!"

"This referee's out cold, too! What's happeing?"

Much to everyone's confusion, Madara Uchiha steps out after the referee with a steel chair in his hand and makes his way to the ring. Hiruzen stares at him in disbelief.

"It's… it's Madara?! What's Madara doing here, he's not a referee!"

"Oh, I think I know exactly what he's doing here."

"He's- He's entering the ring! Hiruzen immediately went on the offensive but Madara's already gotten the upper hand back. He's beating back Hiruzen and… and… No!"

A loud smack resonates through the arena.

"HAH! Steel chair to the face! Look at Hiruzen crawling to the floor. And another hit to the back. And another. And another!"

"No, no, this has to stop! Somebody come out and stop this! Why is he even here?!"

Hiruzen remains unmoving on the floor.

"This is a message to the Forest Squad. No one is safe now that Butsuma is gone."

Danzo slowly gets up to his legs after regaining his senses. He'd heard some noises but wasn't in the right state of mind to truly register what it was. When he finally gets fully up and turns around he puts up his hands in a defensive position.

Madara's next actions surprise everyone. He holds Hiruzen up by the hair and pulls him to his knees, and offers Danzo's the steel chair, presenting his heated rival to him on a silver platter.

"Oh, no, what's happening? Madara… is offering an alliance with Danzo?! How did we ever get to this point?"

"Now this should be interesting. Danzo hates Hiruzen and the Fan Gang equally, yet Madara's out here tempting him to join forces. What will Danzo choose."

"Even if Danzo has some sort of gripe with Hiruzen, there's no way that'll be enough to turn his back on Hashirama. … Right?"

"Madara's saying something, but I can't hear it from here."

Danzo steps forward and takes the chair.

The audience gasps in shock.

"No, Danzo, don't do it. Don't go to that side!"

"Oh, this is great! Someone get me some popcorn."

Danzo takes a step back, eyeing both Madara and Hiruzen.

After a moment's hesitation, he hits Hiruzen on the head with the steel chair.

"NO! Why is this happening? Danzo… Danzo has sided with the Fan Gang! He's officially turned his back on his mentor!"

"This is a big moment in wrestling history. If only I could see Hashirama's face right now…"

Madara lets Hiruzen fall to the mat like a sack of potatoes and steps out the side of the ring. He grabs the referee by the shirt and throws him back in the ring. He regains consciousness just in time to see Danzo pinning Hiruzen and counts.

[3]

"Only now he wakes up? Get it together, ref! You have to know something's not right here!"

[2]

[1]

The bell rings.

The audience goes berserk. They boo and hiss with a greater intensity than they have in a very long time.

"Oh, wait, Madara's coming over here? Why? Stay away from us!"

"Call it." Madara growls at the announcer.

"The- The winner: DANZO!"

Madara walks back in the ring and grabs Danzo's arm to hold it up in victory.

Danzo looks down to the unconscious Hiruzen, a light smile creeping on his face. His smile turns into a light cackle and then into full blown laughter.

The entire aerna hates him but he does not seem to care.

A fast, upbeat song sends the crowd cheering.

"The following match is scheduled for a one-fall. Making his way to the ring, from Konohagakure, Hi no Kuni, weighing 147 lbs, it's Minato "The Flash" NAMIKAZEEE!"

Minato comes out on the platform, interacting with the crowd for a bit before making his way to the ring.

"And now we come to the revenge match."

"That's right, Black Zetsu. Up until a week ago, Minato was the WCE World Champion, but the belt was ripped from him at Warmania 3. He won't be winning it back today but maybe he can get back his pride."

"Pride won't help him in any way here. He lost when it counted and no other win is going to change that simple fact. This is just a sore loser trying to hide he's a sore loser, it's pathetic."

White Zetsu sighs. "Sometimes I wonder if you actually like wrestling."

In the ring, Minato climbs onto the ropes to rile up the crowd even more. He goes to each corner to greet every section of the arena.

When Minato finishes, he turns to face the aisle that leads to the ring.

The music switches to a harder rap theme. Smoke fills the platform while simultaneously fireworks sound off.

"And his opponent, from Kumogakure, Kaminari no Kuni, weighing 223 lbs, the current WCE World Champion, AYYY!"

Ay makes his way out dressed to impress. He has his usual gilded weights as bracers and his white coat that exposes his toned body. And of course, around his waist is the coveted WCE Champion belt. He takes it off and lifts it high into the air to the cheers of some of the fans and booing of the others.

"Sounds like the audience is polarized on this. Both of them have their own diehard fans and both of them are liked and talented wrestlers; advocates of fairplay."

"Although some say Ay is apparently a wifestealer."

"Are you going into gossip now? Of course that's just dumb lies to make fun of someone they have no place to make fun of."

"You sure are passionate about this, huh?"

"Of course I am. Ay's never done anything to deserve harsh treatment like, say, the Fan Gang. He's a professional who does what he likes. I thought that was your kind of wrestler?"

"Eh." Black Zetsu shrugs.

As Ay gets into the ring with Minato, he makes it a point to show off the ring as much as he can until it's taken from him to be placed by the commentators' table.

Ay climbs up on the ropes and slams his bracers against each other to rile up his fans.

When ready to start the match, he takes them off along with his coat which are placed with his belt.

The gong rings to signal the beginning of the match.

"Two very polar opposite athletes who somehow managed to build quite the rivalry."

"You'd think Minato would get squashed by a single hit but he's a lot sturdier than he looks, and about as fast as he looks."

"It's exactly his speed that's made him such a big star, along with his good looks, and made him able to stand toe to toe with giants like Ay."

"We're seeing that speed in action right now. Look at him fly across the ring, Ay can barely keep up."

"He's definitely much more of a bruiser but it's still anyone's win."

"You're right, they both have ways to beat the other, but Ay still has the better track record. And he's the current champion so he's got the morale. You said Minato's here to save his pride, but Ay is here to keep it."

"A lose only one week after winning the belt would be devastating, that's for sure. OH! A Lariat! Ay actually managed to catch Minato!"

"All that zipping around had to come to an end. He practically ran into the Lariat and now Ay can build momentum. Look at him driving Minato into the corner."

"It's not over yet, though. Minato slipped through and got away but can he stay away is the question."

"And the answer is 'no'. Ay is right on his tail and continuing the assault."

"Ow. Those heavy hands have got to hurt. I think even the fans furthest away can hear the impact when Ay hits Minato."

The two wrestlers continue their match as they should, with Minato using his speed to outmaneuver his much larger opponent and Ay applying his massive strength to prove to be an unmovable wall.

The fans cheer as they get exactly the kind of match they expect from these two.

Until...

Tajima Uchiha walks out to the ring.

Minato and Ay stop to stare him down while also carefully eyeing each other for any funny business.

"Is it happening again? Do they intend to ruin every single match?!"

The referee stands at the edge of the ring to try and prevent the veteran from setting foot inside, but that only gets him dragged by the feet and thrown aside like a towel.

"Now he's outright assaulting the refs?!"

"He's just getting things done. Now he looks like he's saying something to Ay. I can't make it out."

"I can't either but given how he's pointing to Minato, it can't be anything good. Earlier we saw the Madara turn Danzo to their side, do they also plan on recruiting Ay?"

Minato takes a step back and visibly prepares himself to turn this into a 2v1.

"It's true that Ay has no real allegiance to the Forest Squad or any of his lackeys. It makes sense to recruit him."

"But on the flip side, Ay also has no allegiance to the Fan Gang, either, so why would they join forces? There's nothing in it for Ay."

Ay turns to face Minato and the entire arena gasps in shock. Tajima laughs as he steps forward, the two of them closing Minato in a box with no room to run.

However, the moment Tajima lowers his guard, Ay grabs him from behind and throws him back in a Suplex.

The crowd cheers.

"Oh, what's this! A double betrayal? Ay isn't becoming anyone's lackey today!"

"That fool just tossed a golden opportunity!"

"An opportunity for what? He's already the champion!"

"And with the Fan Gang as his enemy, he won't be for long."

With a confirming nod, Ay and Minato tag team Tajima. They beat him to the ropes where they both grab an arm and toss him to the ropes on the other side.

"Look at this teamwork! You'd almost think these two are always a team!"

As Tajima comes running back, Ay holds his hand up and meets him with a Lariat him while Minato rams into his stomach with a Spear.

The referee wakes up just in time to sound the gong, marking the match as null.

"Well there goes the match. But instead we got to see something even better!"

"We got to see the beginning of the end for Ay, that's for sure."

Tajima rolls out of the ring to an ecstatic crowd. Ay and Minato get on the ropes and taunt him as he walks away with his proverbial tail between his legs.

Ay and Minato move to the center of the ring and shake hands.

"Are you ready for the final match of the day, White Zetsu?"

"I was but I'm not sure anymore. We have the Women's Champion, Tsunade, versus Mei and given Tsunade's connection to the Forest Squad…"

"The Fan Gang is definitely going to interrupt this match, too?"

"Exactly. I don't think I can get excited for a match that's going to be interrupted."

"Well Hashirama and Itama aren't exactly doing anything to stop this, are they? Two matches in a row and they're just hiding back there in the lockers."

"Wherever they are, I'm sure it's not to hide."

"Yeah, whatever."

The audience turn their attention to the platform, eagerly awaiting the entrances for two of the hottest divas in the WCE, Tsunade and Mei.

However, what they instead witness is both a surprise and isn't.

"Wait, what's happening? That's not Tsunade OR Mei, that's..."

Izuna Uchiha of the Fan Gang comes stumbling out and falling to his back.

"Izuna? Already? But the ladies aren't even out yet- Oh there they are!"

Tsunade and Mei make their way out together, with Tsunade cracking her knuckles while Mei delivers a drop kick to Izuna, sending him tumbling down the aisle that leads to the ring.

"They were expecting it! They struck preemptively and got to Izuna before he could get to them! Unbelievable!"

Tsunade charges after Izuna to deliver a devastating Heel Drop while he's still rolling on the ground. When he tries to get up, Mei runs in besides her and knees him in the head.

"What are they even doing, he's an innocent man!"

"Innocent? They ambushed Hashirama and interrupted two matches so far, and were going to interrupt this one, too!"

"You have no proof of that! For all we know, Izuna was just minding his own business when these two suckerpunched him and are now humiliating him!"

"Well we can agree about one of those things. Izuna IS getting a pretty vicious beating. Tsunade's strength is unmatched among the women and Mei's no slouch, either."

"It's all a big slog, anyway. It's not even wrestling, they're just beating on Izuna like savages. No sportsmanship at all, I say!"

Tsunade grabs him and tosses him inside the ring. Mei climbs up onto the ropes and Dive Bombs him. Tsunade follows her example shortly after and climbs to the corner of the ring. While Izuna is still convulsing from pain, she jumps and comes crashing down with a punch to the chest.

"How far do they plan on taking this?!"

"Not for long, it seems. They're kicking him out of the arena now that they're done with him."

"First they gang up on him and now they treat him like garbage? Is this how it's done in women's wrestling?!"

"Oh, just be quiet. Your favourite little Fan Gang is being shown they don't control anything. Butsuma Senju might be gone, but that doesn't mean they're going to magically take over.

Tsunade and Mei watch Izuna limp away after the beating he just received. They turn to the crowd and rile them up to cheer even louder. The two women meet in the center of the ring and embrace, to the immeasurable delight of every man in the packed arena.

"You keep talking smack about the Fan Gang, but here these people are forming alliances and conspiring! They're no better than anything the Fan Gang has done and I won't have any more of it!" Black Zetsu takes off his headset and storms away from the table.

"Well this isn't how I expected this night to end, but it certainly was interesting to say the least. The Fan Gang took some serious hits today but they also dished out some serious hits. Both sides are definitely not pleased with how things turned out and you can expect things to get heated at the next Shippudown. For now, have a good night!"

Author's Note

This entire premise came from talks on Discord about Naruto's Warring Clan Era, shortened to WCE. The abbreviation just always made me think of wrestling organizations which eventually sparked this lunacy.

Shippudown is a monstrous amalgamation of Shippuden and Smackdown.
