Raimon was in the middle of their training in the lighting training centre before Otonoshi came in saying that Royal's game was over, Endou smiled saying that they already won their game before punching Gouenji's palm. Then Otonashi continued saying the game ended 10-0 which impressed the Raimon players, as that was quite a large gap between the teams but what shocked them more was when Otonashi explained that Zeus junior won 10-0. No one believed what they were hearing and voiced their opinions to Otonashi but she explained that Zeus Junior didn't allow Royal to touch the ball and used moves that no one had seen before. Endou started to argue saying that they were strong and they had Kidou so how could they lose, Otonashi explained that because no one knew about Zeus they decided to bench Kidou for the game after the injury he got after playing Raimon but all of Royal ended up getting more serious injuries then Kidou's injury.
Endou couldn't believe what he was hearing and started to get madder and started to yell back at Otonashi, Naruto came up behind Endou and put his hand on his shoulder before telling him to calm down, Endou shrugged Naruto's hand off him before running out of the training centre. Naruto sighed before turning to everyone in the training centre and saying "I know everyone is worried about Endou, don't worry he will be fine so for now let's get back to training okay. If this tournament has taught us one thing is that there are stronger teams than the ones we faced so let's get stronger so we don't leave everything to Endou'' everyone nodded and went back to practice twice as hard as they did not want to let Endou burden with facing many shots and having to bail them out of a terrible situation as he has done before.
Naruto's POV
The next day our next opponents were decided, it was Farm Junior high, Otonashi explained that their offence isn't as strong as the other teams but they have a wall tight defence and didn't concede a goal.
Endou simply stated that all we had to do was break the wall and win the game which made everyone except Gouenji who was snickering, sweatdrop at Endou's simple-minded answer, he continued stating that we could break their wall with diamonds because we are stronger which got us fired up before realising we don't know anything about them and how we could break the wall down. Nonetheless, we went out to practice but as we were practising everyone couldn't pass or do their combo moves with each other. Things were looking bad but thinking about what the problem could be I walked over to coach Hibiki and asked him "Coach should we stop our training and focus on our coordination as none of our timings isn't matching up with one another"
The three managers had their eyes widen after discovering the problem but right now I wanted to know what the coach wanted us to do, he just kept his calm look on his face before telling me "for now let them figure it out because if we were to tell them, they would always expect us to tell them what is wrong without them trying to do it for themselves which could hinder them in the future" I nodded in understanding and went back and acted like nothing was wrong.
Before the end of training, Domon and Kino told me, Endou and Gouenji about a move called Tri-Pegasus which he, another person and a friend named Ichinose used to do. Endou wanted to know more about Ichinose, Domon then explained he was a friend that he and Kino meet in America who ended up getting seriously hurt*, but when he played he was called the field magician. When Domon was explaining the Tri-Pegasus to us I saw Gouenji turn his head to the front gate which confused me so I turned and saw that Otonashi was looking outside, understanding what she was looking at more specifically who she was looking at I looked at Gouenji and tilted my head towards Otonashi, Gouenji understanding what I meant nodded his head and followed them while Domon continued to explain why the move worked in such a way and how it could be done.
Game day
The Raimon players were all waiting in the dugout as the referee told them that if they weren't out in five minutes we forfeit the game which annoyed most of the players, Someoka and Kazemaru were the two people who kept screaming at the coach to let them play the most since everyone was already there and accounted for. When two minutes were left coach Hibiki finally spoke saying "He's right on time", they all turned to look at the stairs in shock minus Gouenji who knew this was going to happen, and saw Kidou dressed in the Raimon kit.
The whole stadium went crazy, not knowing if this was allowed or what to think of this. The announcer clarified for everyone that if a person were to transfer the same day as a game that person is allowed to play for their new team the same day. Kidou walked up to the Raimon players and stopped a metre away before saying that he will get his revenge on Zeus junior for what they did.
Endou was telling Kidou that he was proud of him and how he knew that he wouldn't give up on playing football and how he would not take what Zeus junior did to his friends without a fight. Everyone was taken aback by his conviction in wanting to take down Zeus junior.
Coach Hibiki got off the bench and started to walk towards the players before informing Shishido that he was bench as Kidou was taking his position, which shocked everyone and made some feel bad but Endou picked everyone back up informing Shishido that he could still be put on so he should still warm-up which brought back his spirit
The game started with Raimon taking the kick-off first, Gouenji kicked the ball back to Handa then to Kurimatsu who was unable to connect with the ball which made the pass unstable and go towards Naruto who was able to connect with it before dribbling the ball forwards before passing it to Kidou who was shocked to see the ball come towards him and looked at Naruto who nodded at him as if he was saying I trust you, Kidou nodded back before dribbling the ball forward and passing it to Handa. Handa after receiving the ball tried to pass the ball to Gouenji but was unable to make the pass connect. Everyone in Raimon besides Naruto and Kidou lead to Farm junior being able to intercept the ball more than once before they got past everyone and passed it to their forward who brought his leg back as it started to get brighter before kicking the ball and making the ball also shine bright(Shine Drive) making Endou unable to see the ball and scoring a goal.
0-1
After the ball went in, Kidou went over to some of the Raimon players and told them what they should do. Endou, not knowing what was going on when Kurimatsu was further back than he normally is, told him to move forward but was shocked to find out Kidou told him to be there. This paid off because as soon as Raimon kicked off Farm junior was able to intercept the ball and made their way towards Endou before Kurimatsu was able to stop it. Kidou seeing this started to give orders to the players on who, when and how to pass to someone before the ball was able to reach Someoka who took the opportunity to use Dragon Crash the Raimon players smiled seeing that they were able to get a shot on goal before the goalkeeper jumped up and stuck his palms together before hitting the top of the ball(Makiwari Chop) and sending the ball out of bounds.
Before Raimon took the throw-in, Kidou explained that no one besides Naruto was able to pass or do any combo moves because they were unaware of how the others had grown. Endou started to praise Kidou, calling him a genius before returning to the goal, Kidou turned to Naruto and was about to ask something but Naruto knowing what he was going to say answered "Coach Hibiki didn't want me to say anything I believe he knew there was a chance you would have joined us so he wanted you to inform them so that they can trust you as a teammate and not look at you and think you are an enemy from Royal". This shocked Kidou as he had not expected this but was cut off because Raimon was about to continue the game.
The game continued with Kazemaru receiving the ball and driving forwards before passing it to Handa who was caught in Farm Junior's defensive hissatsu technique Kagome, Kagome which was three players spaced out like a triangle walking around Handa in a circle before they shot up into the air and landed onto Handa. Kidou quickly took the ball of the Farm player and passed it to Someoka who along with Gouenji used Dragon Tornado but was stopped by Farm juniors ultimate defensive hissatsu technique Mugen no Kabe which was performed by two defenders and the goalkeeper summoning a stone wall to stop the ball, ending the first half.
During half time Endou was telling people to cheer up as they were only one goal down before Kidou came forward and said that they should play with one forward being Someoka and explained that the weakness behind the move is that they required three members to pull the move of which should be easy to stop by holding one of the defenders back so they couldn't perform the move. Handa didn't like what he was hearing and made his voice clear that they usually played with Gouenji and Someoka at the forwards, Kidou calmly stated that they were now playing on a national level and it's not the time for happy-go-lucky football if they want to progress. Gouenji said he was fine with it and the ones who had doubts just slowly accepted that this was what they were going to do in the second half.
The second half kicked off with Kidou stealing the ball before passing it forward towards Kabeyama and Gouenji who performed the Ianzume Otoshi with Someoka bringing one of the defenders with him which made the Raimon players believe they got past the unstoppable wall before the defender suddenly appear in front of the goal to use Mugen no Kabe to the shock of the Raimon players. This continued for most of the second half with Raimon gaining possession of the ball before trying their combo moves for it to only be blocked after the Inazuma 1 failed, everyone but Naruto had their heads down in utter defeat.
Endou, seeing this started to yell at them telling them that this isn't over but they still didn't believe they could do it. Endou got mad after Domon said we need a hissatsu technique to defeat the Mugen no Kabe and responded with "We have a hissatsu technique" which shocked everyone who looked towards Endou to know what it was. Endou continued by saying "Our hissatsu technique isn't Honoo no Kazamidori or Inazuma 1! Our real hissatsu technique is our passion to not give up to the very end! Our football is never given up to the end" which got everyone out of their funk and looked more determined than ever, Kidou was the most shock at Endou's speech as this was the first time playing with him but Endou's words hit deep within him. Naruto patted Kidou on the back, giving him a smile and a thumbs up making Kidou smile before telling everyone that there is still time left and that they can win which made everyone cheer before getting back into the game.
With only 5 minutes left Raimon pressured Farm junior with everything they had before the ball come to Kidou who was caught in Farm's Kagome Kagome but before they could execute it Kidou turned to see Endou running towards him before kicking the ball up and jumping along with Endou and Goeunji who both did an overhead kick as Kidou volleyed the ball(Inazuma Break) which was heading straight at the goal and got past the Mugen no Kabe which shocked everyone.
1-1
Endou smiled before thrusting his arms in the air before yelling "Let's get another" which made everyone yell in agreement. The game kicked off again before Handa made an interception before passing it to Kidou who gave it to Gouenji who laid it off to Naruto jump into the air with the ball before striking it on the side as a fox appeared behind him, Naruto then used the bottom of his foot to kick the ball sending it towards the goal(Fox Strike) and scoring as the final whistle blew signalling Raimon's victory.
2-1
Every Raimon player ran towards Naruto and tackled him onto the ground asking him about the shot he just took which made Naruto laugh and rub the back of his head.
After the game, Gouenji and Naruto took Kidou to see Endou training with a tire which shocked Kidou before they sat down on a bench and discussed things such as Kidou joining Raimon and Endou's grandfather.
The next day Raimon was training on their school grounds, they were practising passing while Someoka was taking shots at Endou to warm him up before he punched the ball out towards a boy who has slightly tanned skin and is average in height. He has brown hair that is swept to the left side and black eyes. He was wearing a light-green shirt underneath a cream jacket with orange stripes over his shoulders, blue trousers that are held up with a black belt and white trainers, the boy dropped the ball and started to dribble it towards Endou. Handa and Kurimatsu tried to stop him but he was able to get past them without much effort, everyone stopped what they were doing and watched the ball stop just outside the penalty box. Endou seeing this couldn't help but smile and waited for the boy to shoot, the boy jumped behind the ball and landed on his hands before spinning which made a mini-tornado and lifted the ball into the air before kicking(Spinning Shoot), Endou managed to stop the shot with God Hand but was pushed back a bit.
The boy was shocked by this and said he couldn't wait to tell his friends from America about this, Kidou then said he had heard of him, he was a talented Japanese player that was a shoo-in to play for America in the future. Kino and Domon showed up and was curious as to why everyone had crowded around in a circle before the ball shot out of the circle hugging Kino which made her blush and Domon was mad at this and started yelling at the boy but stopped when he saw who it was. Kino and Domon then explained that they knew each other because they had all studied in America before and the boy's name is Ichinose Kazuya.
Kino, Domon and Ichinose decided to sit on a bench catching up as everyone else returned to practise. After some time Ichinose and Domon decided to join in the practice, everyone wanted to go against Ichinose which he was okay with, he and Kidou were going head to head with neither of them giving in and looked like they were about even in skill. Halfway through practice, Ichinose decided that he wanted to do something in memory of becoming friends and that was to do the Tri-Pegasus which made Endou happy. Ichinose, Domon and Endou kept working on the move over and over but couldn't get it down, the sun came down and we decided to end practise and was about to go home before Endou asked everyone to come over to have dinner at his so they can talk to their new friend, everyone agreed but they said they wanted to do things first before coming over which Endou nodded.
The next day Ichinose, Domon and Endou were back at it again trying to complete the Tri-Pegasus but kept messing up on the ending, Kino decided to walk up to them and told them that she would be the point where the ball needs to be which after a short talk they nodded and prepared themselves to perform the technique. They got prepared and got a nod from Kino and started to perform the move and were successful in completing the move which made them happy but after finding out that the whole team was ready to jump in to protect Kino made them swell up with happiness.
After practice ended Endou was telling Kino how he wished that he could continue to play with Ichinose a while longer with everyone agreeing, Ichinose decided to speak up from behind everyone that he also wished to continue playing with them which shocked everyone because they thought he was on a plane heading back to America. Everyone quickly huddled around him and started to talk about how it's going to be fun to play with him before Otonashi came running up to everyone and told them that their next game is against Kirkwood junior high which shocked everyone as they looked towards Gouenji.
AN: I know I said I would do the Kirkwood game but I forgot how long the Farm game was, so I'll do it next time. Sorry if you were looking forward to that.
