-------------------
The three friends decided to sepreate themselves while trainning since they didn't want to let out their secret techniques they created.Ranma went to the mountains by himself,Haku stayed near the river while Max borrowed the trainning grounds in the Academy.
At Trainning ground 18......
Hm....I think I need to use Arainami(The sword he had in chapter 1 re-write) and practice my Kyuu Dageki no Ken (Nine Strikes Sword Technique) and some other things I kept secret from Ranma... then Max took out Arainami from hidden space.
Max took out the scroll he wrote on the text based first strike and read them to freshen up his memory on the techniques.Then he practiced his sword skills on his own.At first he was a little rusty on the moves but at around 5pm in the afternoon he was starting to remember nearly all his techniques.
Boy Tensei-sensei would kill me if he sees me like this.. thought Max as make a moon strike at the invisible attacker from behind him.
"No I wouldn't kill you....but Kyougaku-san would." boomed a voice in his head.Max nearly fell from the sudden sound he heard.
Ten....Tensei-sensei is that you? Hey long time no see.What are you doing in my head at this time of ...umm ...time?
"Well I just wanted to see your progress but it seems like you are lacking your skill when I was gone all these time." said the voice again.
Ano...er..well me and Ranma created some new techniques that um...
"I know what you did,I am dragon after all."
So um...what are you going to do? More trainning in the Dream Land?
"No this time you're on your own.Just don't die like the last guy.Good Luck while fighting Ranma." then Max never heard anything else besides the birds chirping in the trees.
"Shit, great just great.Now I have to do my kata all over again." said Max aloud and started all 1024 stances again.
Mean while at the Hospital...
"Saotome-kun I must insist you too stay still in your bed, you too Lee-kun." pleded the nurse that was sent to take care of room 10,the room were Ranma and Lee was staying.The said two was currently doing push ups by the bed side.
Ranma suffered three broken ribs,a concusion ,a dislocated shoulder from Lee's kicks and a bruised cheek from the punches other than that are some minor cuts by the debris.Still,any normal person should be staying quietly in bed from the broken ribs...but not Ranma,no siree.He was doing his 300th push up when Lee woke up from his slumber and joined him.Lee was disappointed when he didn't passed the preliminary but he promised to train harder to win over Ranma,he was after all still younger than Ranma.Lee was bandaged up because of the sprained muscles he got from opening all 5 gates and hit by the ceiling on his way up the sky.He suffered a concusion like Ranma,a fracktured arm and a few bruised ribs his worse wound was the snapped muscles in his arms and back but he seems to also heal quite quickly.
Heh...this kid is gonna be a hell of a fighter when he grows up.He's almost better than me when I was at his age...almost though. thought Ranma as he did his 1580th push up.
Haku was sitting there meditating By the lake side....
A cool breeze blew some leafs over her and with a flick of her wrist 5 senbon(those needles Haku have) was thrown by her and they went through ten leafs perfectly in the middle and landed 30 meters on the surface of the lake,they melted after that...they were made by ice.
Neji was practicing his Kaiten while Ten Ten tries to penetrate his defense by throwing various weapons at him but they bounced of Neji's body as he spins.
Naruto had meet the Frog Senin by now and he was learning how to summon a frog but had summoned a little tadpole instead.Jiraiya scoled him for his lack of skills and went on ranting.
The three Unseen Light Ninjas where at the jungle meditating as well.
Temari was cleaning her fan while she kept thinking about a certain person with a red shirt,a pig tail and a very dashing smile.She was thinking about Ranma and how he dispproved about her when she thrown TenTen at the wall.It wasn't her fault that that leaf nin was weak.But she kept on thinking about him when he said she was a skilled ninja.She felt a presense behind her and turned around to see her enemy but it was just Kankuro and Gaara.They asked her about her feelings toward Ranma and she just changed the subject every time they brought up the Wild Horse.
All in all,everybody was trainning for the final exams.
A few days later Ranma and Lee was let out of the Hospital and they went to the mountains with Gai's permission .Ranma asked Lee about his sudden bursts of Ki and speed when he faught him and Lee explained about the eight heavenly gates.Ranma think about it and said that Max had a similar technique but it didn't drain him so much until his muscles would snap.So Ranam concerntrated on his speed and ki while Lee did his normal trainning...only this time it was three times the weight he wore.Ranma also practiced his Bo staff technique in the break of dawn, he asked some black smith of the village to make him a staff that weighted along 20kg and he added some ki it to make it even heavier.Unfortunately he didn't ask Max for any money so he was left without one.He was going to gave up his search for a staff until he meet a fat man coming out of the hospital.It was Choji's dad and he was carrying a golden staff with him.
"Man it would be cool to have one right now,I'm sure Max is trainning his swords style right now...." said Ranma before he go and gather his things and meet up with Lee.Suddenly the fat guy spotted him eyeing his staff and turned to face him.
"You look troubled young one,what's in your mind?" asked Choji's dad (I forgot his name).
"Well I was gonna get myself a metal staff to use for the finals but I kinda am...broke." said Ranma while studying this man infront of him.
"Oh you're the one that made that tornado right? Nice jutsu you got there.I think I could help you with finding a staff come follow me home and I'll borrow you my old one when I used as a Genin." said CHoji's dad.
Ranma was excited and bowed to him.He followed the staff using ninja to his house and he recieved a red staff about 5 foot and a half in leight.
"This was the one I used back then.It's a little heavy are you sure you can handle it? " asked the man.
"Sure thanks Mr...um I never get your name right sir." said Ranma as he tested the weight on the staff,it was heavier than he thought.
"Don't worry about it just call me Mr (Input Choji's Dad's Name Here)"
Ranma was jumping with joy as he meet up with Lee in the mountains again.The staff weights about 40kg.
--------------------
Haku tried some hand seals and shouted "Hijutsu : Nadare No Jutsu(Avalanche no Jutsu) !!! " nearly all her chakra was used up in this technique.The water from the lake behind Haku risen up so high it reached nearly 200 meters.It turned into ice and washed over the forest infront of her.The result was worse than her 'Waterfall Explosion' or 'Ice Dragon jutsu'.The trees were uprooted from the Ice turned waters,heck even if it didn't turn into water the force from it would destroy almost as much damage.The sight was frightening yet beautiful as the rays from the evening sun reflected off the ice surface.It was magnificent indeed.Haku gave a smile and picked up her things to go back to her tent.She was so tired that she didn't bother to make dinner.I need to increase my chakra levels and water absorbing skills if I were need to perform that technique in a battle. though Haku as she slept straight away in her tent.
--------------------
At Trainning area 18, Max was sweating hard as he was doing his best at maintaining his Genbu Shield, he knew that in order to survive Ranma's quick barages of Ki assults he need to keep up his shield long enough.He wore ten weighted things on his body this time.His fingerless gloves was like Kakashi's if you minus the fact that they were weighted down by Ki and a piece of lead instead of steel at the back of his fists.Then he wore arm guards and knee gaurds that was filled with lead too.His vest was weighting close too 40 kg.The shoes were also weighted 5kg each.His headband was filled with a little ki so he could focus ki on any part of his body for a quick boost of energy.His whole body now weighted 120kg minus his normal body weight an added ki weight.He added the weights every two days each until he have to depend on ki because his vest couldn't support anymore weights.He also input ki into his sword Arainami for making it havier and sharper,he didn't want to hurt anyone in the exams but it wouldn't hurt if he trainned it would it? Who knows, maybe Ranma would bring his own staff along and they would have a weapons match instead.How right he is.
--------------------
Hayate was killed that day by Baki and the whole village of Jounins and Chuunins were shocked at the sudden attack by the unknown enemy.They suspected the Sand but they didn't have enough proff for it.
--------------------
Two Weeks Later.....
"Summoning no Jutsu !!!! " screamed Naruto as he slammed his hands on the ground,a puff of ninja smoke and there stood a flapping little tadpole.Well atleast this one had apair of legs.
"YOU HAVE NO SKILL AT ALL YOU BRAT !!"
"SHUT UP PERVERT YOU DID'T SEEM TO HELP ONE BIT !!! LOOK !!" as Naruto pointed at the um...tadpole.
"?"
"There are legs this time so I made progress."
"....."
--------------------
"Nineth Strike !! Ki Cutter !! " screamed Max as he made a wide arch at the wooden pole 10 feet infront of him.A blue half moon shaped energy blade made it's way at the pole.Nothing happened at first but then a cool breeze blewed the top off.Max did another slash the the second pole was missing it's top just as the first.
I need to make the strike distance further and stronger.My aim needs some work too...this is getting harder by the minute.thought Max as the sound of the third pole dropped on the ground.
--------------------
Haku was doing some intense physical trainning as she gathered all the water molecules aroung her.Blobs of water from the lake could be seen hovering around her as she destroyed them one by one with her punches and kicks.
Need to strike faster.....and gather more...
--------------------
"Bakuryou Dageki !! (Lightning Strike) " shouted Ranma as he launched his bo staff with chestnut speed(Don't ask me how fast this is) at Lee who was trying his best to block it.
"Good work Lee, you could block it this time.It seems like your speed and stregnth have increased after you did the Baksai Tenketsu and the Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken training." said Ranma as he continued doing strikes, pokes and under sweeps to knock Lee of balance.
"It's all thanks to you
Ranma-san." said Lee then leap from a three poke combo by Ranma and landed a few feet away " That I had reduced the journey to become a better fighter. " Lee had also learned not to over
react everytime someone did something for him or when he had accomplished something minor himself. It was a deal he made when Ranma started to train him. The truth was that Ranma was anoyed at him (Doesn't everybody?) and made a lecture that by doing those sily dances would waste unwanted energy and make Lee lose his matches.
--------------------
The three Unseen Light Shinobis did nothing but meditate the whole time until Koga started to give out a bluish aura arounf him. Santaro and Shiro started to move away from him and after 20 second the aura died down and they congratulated Koga on his improvement.
--------------------
The day Naruto did his first(The rest don't count I think) real summon and called upon the Great Boss of all Frogs, he had summoned Gamabunta by using Kyubi's chakra while he was falling down the cliff that Jiraiya pushed him. He woke up in a hospital after that for over use of Chakra though.
--------------------
Angered by the fact that there were other fighters better than him out there and still haven't been able to get his revenge Sasuke did all he could to achieve a third Chidori at the huge boulder infront of him.
" KYAAAAAAA !!!! " he screamed out his lungs and pushed his body to the limits even though Kakashi told him that he could only do two Chidori a day.
His hands were bleeding and he was tired from the strain...but he had accompished what he wanted. Uchiha Sasuke smirked at the third hole between the other two in the boulder and slumped down to his feet.
Suddenly he heard a russle fron the bushes and he turned to find...Orochimaru, one of the three Legendary Ninja's of the Leaf.
"Sasuke-kun, we meet again." said the snake Senin as he walked towards Sasuke who was trying hard to stand up. Orochimaru saw the boulder with the holes on them and smiled at him " So you've learned the Chidori from Kakashi-kun ? I'm sure you must be quite strong right now....but I could make you even stronger....Stronger than that three rats from the Hidden Sun."
Sasuke was shocked, Orochimaru can give him that kind of power? "How can you do that? " asked Sasuke, clearly thinking about this...deal.
Orochimaru was about to continue but then he leaped away from four kunais with explosive notes attached to them. The notes exploded as Sasuke heard a series of Shuriken and Kunais clashing together then a cloud of smoke covered the place infront of Sasuke.
"Ah...Kakashi-kun...so nice of you to drop in." came the familiar voice of Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru.....what are you doing here? I don't suppose you came here just to visit little old me do you?" answered Kakashi, his voice was void of his carefree tone and Sasuke could swear he heard Kakashi's voice waver a little bit.
What is going on there....I can't see from all this smoke. thought Sasuke as he held on the ege of the boulder using his kunai as a hnd hold to keep him standing.
"I just come to check out your new student....I didn't know that you'd let Genins pass on your team. What makes this one special? "
Kakashi's right visible eye widened at this but he kept his cool dispite the closeness of the snake senin " He's...like me...and you are not welcomed here in the Leaf. Leave or..."
"Or what Kakashi-kun? You're not the only one that picked up tricks everywhere over the years....but I can tell you this..." said the snake senin as he released his hold on the Kunai and leaped back a few feet to make a new set of handseals.
Kakashi too leaped away and revealed his left Sharingan eye and make his own handseals with his scroll.
Orochimaru finished his seals and summoned a bunch of snakes appeared around him " I am here to offer Sasuke a path to become a powerful fighter....more powerful than he currently is and there is nothing you can do to stop me."
Sasuke was surprised when he heard this.Didn't Max told me that he was only after my body ? But...it's so....tempting...NO I won't do this...not before... Sasuke's thoughts were cut short as Orochimaru attacked Kakashi even with Kakashi's dog summons.
Orochimaru smirked the scene infront of him as Kakashi's dogs battle his snakes.Then he saw Sasuke near the blouder and dashed at the Uchiha but then he saw a blue spark coming from his left so he evaded the attack that Kakashi sents him. He stopped to gaze at Kakashi with a fully charged Chidori in his right hand glaring at him.
The snake senin smirked at the pitiful sight " Heh, I'm tired of playing with you Kakashi-kun...to think that you'd come up with a newer technique..." then he lowered his left eye lid and gazed into Kakashi's eyes to completely paralyze the Copy Ninja and walked slowly towards the now frightened Sasuke.
This....this cannot be happening....I...I'm much stronger now...or am I? Even Kakashi-sensei was paralyzed....I...can't..move a muscle...I should have listened to him about using two Chidori a day. thought Sasuke but it was too late as he saw something that would haunt him like the murdering of his parents and his clan by Itachi. Orochimaru's neck started to launch towards him and it bit him on his neck.
Sasuke screamed from the pain and crouched down on his weakened knees.He tried to look up but he was unabled to even move his hands. He was able to take a peek at Kakashi's direction to see the Jounin staring at him with a frightened expression on his face. The boy was puzzled at why his teacher was doing nothing to help him. What he don't know was that Kakashi was trying his best to counter against the Senins Jutsu as he watched helplessly at his student..the one he tried to protect...the one that was same as himself...the one that inherted the Sharingan and the Chidori...the one he failed to protect.
The young Uchiha screamed once again in agony as the pain registered in his mind until he finally passed out either from the pain or exhaustion.
Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled at his 'work' then he turned towards Kakashi and made his summons disappear along with his insane laughter.
After a few minutee, Kakashi was released from the Jutsu and he rushed towards Sasuke to check on his pulse. He was releaved when he get a pulse but cursed himself for failing to help Sasuke against the Senin's attack. He quickly carried Sasuke to the Hospital via teleportation and reported this to the Hokage.
-------------------
Max jerked up his head at the unnerving feeling he felt not long ago and glanced around to search for the source of the feeling but he failed to do so.
Hmm...that's strange...wonder what was that. thought Max as he scanned his suroundings again then he closed his eyes to meditate.
"Hey I forgot about making lunch !! Damn....now I need to go back to town again....oh well."
-------------------
Ranma and Lee was currently stealing food from each other as they had their lunch.Ranma insisted that this was a good way of training for speed and eye coordination plus concentration. Lee was losing badly at first by breaking his plate or his hold of the chopsticks from too much force on them but he was finally getting the hang of it.....after missing a few meals.
-------------------
Haku took out five scrolls and absorbed the water source in them. Who knew that taking a look at the Leaf Local Library could bring out such ideas like sealing water supply in plain scrolls ? This saves up the time and concentration for her to collect the tiny water molecules in the air for her powerful blasts and new Ice Jutsus.
She wiped the light sweat off her forhead to savour the sweat aroma of her lunch.....bacon and eggs...
-------------------
(A/N : I'll skip the rest that happened in the manga cause I'm so lazy to re-write all that.)
The day for the final test of the Chunin exam has finally arrived and the Genins were getting excited as they stood in a line behind Gemma(The Jounin with the tooth pick) He turned to give them some pep talk as they walked up the balcony and wait for the first match.
Max was wondering where the hell was Sasuke. He did save him from that snake freak right?
The first match was Uzumaki Naruto VS Hyuuga Neji.....and we all know what happen right? No? Then I suggest you go read another fic.
Sasuke's match was extended like in the manga....
Max was worried as he was sure that Orochimaru didn't get the curse seal on Sasuke in time. He looked at Haku and she to wore a puzzled look on her face.
"Although I don't like that bastard for what he did in the manga but he IS a character in the Naruto series....damn where is he? Maybe he's learning the Chidori? Or maybe..." Haku put a hand on Max's shoulder and told him not to worry.
And so the match was dragged back to the last match.
Next match....Kankuro VS Santaro.
Ranma was cheering on Santaro but was dissapointed when Kankuro gave up his match.
Next match.....Koga Vs Haku.
"Go Haku !! Go Santaro !! " Max and Ranma cheered on as their friends headed for the center of the Arena.
Gemma counted to three and leave the fight scene as the two Shinobis stared at each other.
Koga was sizing Haku with his sixth sense and was shocked to find that Haku was emitting pure white Ki from her This....this is...What a pure heart...never...seen something so pure...have a rough pass...but...I sense two Ki in her body...this body isn't her's... Koga was confused as he was trying to figure out what happened to Haku's state.
He didn't know about Haku being a clone from another body and the soul was starting to merge with her original soul.
Haku was thinking about the Jutsus she would use to defeat Koga and smiled as she suddenly did a jump and unleashed a barage of needles at a still pondering Koga but he dodged them with ease and attacked with his own batch of double handed kunais.
By the time they stopped the whole place was filled with Kunais, Shurikens and yes....hundreds and hundreds of Senbons from Haku.
TenTen was staring wide eyed at the huge display of weapon hidding and was envious of Haku and Koga's aim. Though they dodged each other's attacks some hits were bearly avoidable and deadly aimed for vital points. Their speed and coordination plus their Chakra control was amazing as they sometimes leaped at the exact time the weapon come in pin point range. Then there was the quick reflexes of blocking the weapons thrown at them, Haku used her senbons while Koga uses his Kunai. The fact that Koga was blind even made the task harder for TenTen to believe it was humanly posible for one to hear the destination of weapons launched at him...and senbons are used by Hunter Nins for their lack of noise when thrown.
Haku and Koga was now staring at each other. Koga didn't bother to check for any more weapons on him since his collection of Kunais and other hidden weapons were all used up. Haku on the other hand was glad that Max and Ranma taught her the hidden weapons technique....which originated from the Amazon village by Mousse (Read Ranma half or my previous chapters)
Her supply of Senbons where also nearly finished since every time she have to use three senbons at once to do damage but it seems that the only thing her attacks did was reduce the weapons of Koga.....and finally notice Koga's speed.
"This is not my real speed if that's what you're thinking Haku-san." said Koga then he continued as Haku's eyes widened at his reply " Looks like I need to use my Jutsus to Win this match...sorry for this is going to cost you your chance of winning this match." the he did a quick handseal and shouted his Jutsu " Ninpo : MonoSugoi Misaru !! " (Ninja Technique : Earth Shattering Missiles)
Haku stared in disbelieve as the earth infront of Koga started to rise up to a wall towering up until it reached the height of the balcony.Then started her own handseals as the wall gave out a loud roar and launched rolls after rolls of missiles made by hard rocks and mud.
"HiJutsu Makyou HyouShou !" chanted Haku as she enters her mirror just in time as a huge missile destroys the mirror in one single shot. Haku appeared behind Koga but soon leaped to one side as a missile was launched towards her from the tall missile launcher.
It seems that Koga have the same ability like a Hyuuga....only he sees with our Ki or Chakra signiture. thought Haku as she made another afford to dodge the second missile I need to get him or else I'm doomed ....my water jutsus won't be able to defeat Earth elemental Jutsus...this is bad.
"You have no where to hide Haku-san , soon the whole place will be filled with my Missiles and then my real attack will be revealed. I suggest you quit the match before I get to that." shouted Koga acrosss the loud explosions happening around him.
Suddenly Haku dashed towards Koga's hidding place under the wall and she zig zagged her way while dodging the missiles. She suffered a few bruises from the close contact of the Missiles but choose to take the hits and charged up her remaining Jutsu as she took out a scroll to release a huge pillar of water straight towards a stunned looking Koga.
The Unseen Light Shinobi would've widen his eyes..if he had any when the water slammed his body on his own wall.His hands were shaken off contact with the ground and his control over the high pile of ...um...earth was totally lost as a Missile came screeching down at the two Shinobis.
The Wall started to collapse as the arena was filled with clouds of dibris and dust from the destruction done by the failed Jutsu.
Gemma was seen shaking his head side to side "Why dose this year's match always made the arena so messed up? I hate to see the fact of the cleaners though."
Max and the rest of the Genins that knew Haku and Koga shouted their names but the cloud of smoke was too thick to recognise anyone....
Suddenly a shadowed figure blasted towards the Heavens and the dust was pulled away with it. The vacuum that created followed was pulling away the dibris, leaving a semi large hole in the middle of the small dirt hill that was formerly the wall by Koga.
Everyone stared at the now landing figure and saw Koga holding Haku on one hand and another holding a huge bumble bee.
Their clothes were torn and their faces were battered. Haku was breathing slowly as she landed and smiled at Koga for rescueing her at the last minute. She raised her hands to give up the match as she had taken a beating from the missiles. She was put on a streacher by two medic nins and was taken to the healing ward. Max wanted to follow them but the next match was his and Ranma's match so he and Ranma leaped down the arena.
"Let's make this quick Ranma-kun....I want to check up on Haku." said Max in a stoic voice while Ranma nodded "Yeah, me too."
Gemma made a gesture with his hands and anounced the start of the match.
Max took out Arainami from his back and smirked at Ranma "Remember this Ranma ? It's been a long time."
Ranma took out his staff he kept with him and grinned at Max's surprised face " Yup...a long time since I kicked your ass."
The two launched at each other as blade and metal clashed in the middle.
Max lifted his sword and made a strict stance as he gazed at Ranma whom inturn twisted his staff and prepared for the attack.
"Fourth Stance : Counter of Spears." said Max as he aimed at Ranma's left shoulder then stopped in the middle as he swiched his target to Ranma's right leg.Then he turned around to make a straight stab at Ranma's chest but slashed at Ranma's face.
Ranma was shocked. As he saw the attack he was sure to block the incomming slash but the sudden twist and turnings plus the slash comming athis face freaked him out so he did a back flip and landed a few feet away to glare at Max.
"What the hell was that? You never made contact at my body but the parts you attack....Hey is this some new style or you've been keeping this from me?" asked Ranma.
"I was keeping it from you...but I'm a bit rusty so I guess I'll use something I pick up from my favourite game character." smirked Max as he started to gather ki in his sword.
Ranma wasn't going to let Max pull another surprise on him again so he charged instead " Bakuryou Dageki " the lightning fast strike hit Max in his chest and shocked the ehll out of him.(Pardon the pun)
Max rolled a few feet away in a smoking heap from the strike and tried to stand up.
"That was mean Ranma....but here's my version of that...RAIJINGEKI !!!" a bright light started to shine from Arainami in Max's hands and he thrusted his sword at Ranma.The sword was emiting electricity as Ranma blocked it with is staff.
Ranma smirked at the attempt strike and made another attack " Magnum Break !!!" Ranma slammed his staff at the ground to send a giant fisure towards Max who leap high above Ranma and called out his next copied move "Hyoretsuzan !" Arainami turned into a giant Ice Lance and he dived down at Ranma who in turn sends a Ki blast at Max.
The Ki blast destroyed the Ice Blade and Ranma slammed the end of his staff at Max,sending him flying bodily towards the wall.Max was hurt badly but he was able to stand up with the help of doing the first Nine Solar Stance.
Ranma smirked as he felt the increase of Ki levels in Max so he released the Ki limiters on his wrists to 1/4 energy, giving him a quick boost of energy.
"Time for round two Max... Rekka Sutoraiku !!" Ranma's staff started to glow crimson red and charged at Max.
"Yeah, Shippuga !!" Max's blade made a wide ark and a Ki slash was sent flying towards Ranma.
The Ki blade was reflected by Ranma's Bo staff, Ranma continued his barrage of attacks and continued to burn Max away.The heat from his staff was so hot that Max started to sweat vigorously.Then Max started his second and third stance.
Ranma opened his Ki limiters to full power and pressed on his attack to the fleeing Max.
"This is fast Ranma, one might think you're still holding back. Ryuuenjin !!" Arainami bursted into flames as Max did a jump when Ranma was just inches infron of him. The attack nearly caught Ranma by surprise but the sudden gathering of heated Ki from Max alerted Ranma so he was able to bring up his staff to block the fiery blazes just in time.
Max cursed at his timing but made a turn in mid air to launch three kunais with explosive notes to Ranma's escape path. The explosion knocked the two Martial Artist away but they were just slightly battered as Ranma shouted out his new trick.
"First gate open : Initial Gate !!"
"Fourth Solar Stance !"
The two figures charged at each other as the audience stared wide eyed at the second most damaging fight after the match by Haku and Koga. Lee was cheering on for Ranma and Naruto cheered on for his friends.Hokage was stunned at the performance of the two Shinobis that claimed to be of the Hidden Village of the Rising Sun...which was never on any record in his private library.
Orochimaru was REALLY comparing the value of the Sharingan using Sasuke and the wild and power Ranma.
"Second gate open : Heal Gate !!"
"Fifth Solar Stance !!"
"Third gate open : Life gate !!"
"Sixth Solar Stance !!"
The fight was so intense that by the opening of Ranma's third gate, all the audience could see was a red blur and a golden spark clashing each other. They could feel the power radiated from Ranma and Max and also each time one of them managed to land punch or a kick to each other. Max was clearly losing since he was not too experience on fighting hand to hand combat like Ranma but the Solar stance helped to reduce some of the damage he recieved...some though.
"Fourth Gate Open : Harm Gate !!" yelled Ranma and with a super quick boost of speed he managed to break through Max's defenses and land a hard punch on Max's stomach slamming him on the wall and also planted a second knee strike up his guts making Max spit out some blood.
"Ow...damn that hurts.....Okay...I...I give up....just stop punching me." stuttered Max as he raised his hands.
Ranma closed his gates and smirked...not after he gets kicked in the face by an anoyed looking Max "And you don't have to hit so hard either."
TBC...

-------------------
The three friends decided to sepreate themselves while trainning since they didn't want to let out their secret techniques they created.Ranma went to the mountains by himself,Haku stayed near the river while Max borrowed the trainning grounds in the Academy.
At Trainning ground 18......
Hm....I think I need to use Arainami(The sword he had in chapter 1 re-write) and practice my Kyuu Dageki no Ken (Nine Strikes Sword Technique) and some other things I kept secret from Ranma... then Max took out Arainami from hidden space.
Max took out the scroll he wrote on the text based first strike and read them to freshen up his memory on the techniques.Then he practiced his sword skills on his own.At first he was a little rusty on the moves but at around 5pm in the afternoon he was starting to remember nearly all his techniques.
Boy Tensei-sensei would kill me if he sees me like this.. thought Max as make a moon strike at the invisible attacker from behind him.
"No I wouldn't kill you....but Kyougaku-san would." boomed a voice in his head.Max nearly fell from the sudden sound he heard.
Ten....Tensei-sensei is that you? Hey long time no see.What are you doing in my head at this time of ...umm ...time?
"Well I just wanted to see your progress but it seems like you are lacking your skill when I was gone all these time." said the voice again.
Ano...er..well me and Ranma created some new techniques that um...
"I know what you did,I am dragon after all."
So um...what are you going to do? More trainning in the Dream Land?
"No this time you're on your own.Just don't die like the last guy.Good Luck while fighting Ranma." then Max never heard anything else besides the birds chirping in the trees.
"Shit, great just great.Now I have to do my kata all over again." said Max aloud and started all 1024 stances again.
Mean while at the Hospital...
"Saotome-kun I must insist you too stay still in your bed, you too Lee-kun." pleded the nurse that was sent to take care of room 10,the room were Ranma and Lee was staying.The said two was currently doing push ups by the bed side.
Ranma suffered three broken ribs,a concusion ,a dislocated shoulder from Lee's kicks and a bruised cheek from the punches other than that are some minor cuts by the debris.Still,any normal person should be staying quietly in bed from the broken ribs...but not Ranma,no siree.He was doing his 300th push up when Lee woke up from his slumber and joined him.Lee was disappointed when he didn't passed the preliminary but he promised to train harder to win over Ranma,he was after all still younger than Ranma.Lee was bandaged up because of the sprained muscles he got from opening all 5 gates and hit by the ceiling on his way up the sky.He suffered a concusion like Ranma,a fracktured arm and a few bruised ribs his worse wound was the snapped muscles in his arms and back but he seems to also heal quite quickly.
Heh...this kid is gonna be a hell of a fighter when he grows up.He's almost better than me when I was at his age...almost though. thought Ranma as he did his 1580th push up.
Haku was sitting there meditating By the lake side....
A cool breeze blew some leafs over her and with a flick of her wrist 5 senbon(those needles Haku have) was thrown by her and they went through ten leafs perfectly in the middle and landed 30 meters on the surface of the lake,they melted after that...they were made by ice.
Neji was practicing his Kaiten while Ten Ten tries to penetrate his defense by throwing various weapons at him but they bounced of Neji's body as he spins.
Naruto had meet the Frog Senin by now and he was learning how to summon a frog but had summoned a little tadpole instead.Jiraiya scoled him for his lack of skills and went on ranting.
The three Unseen Light Ninjas where at the jungle meditating as well.
Temari was cleaning her fan while she kept thinking about a certain person with a red shirt,a pig tail and a very dashing smile.She was thinking about Ranma and how he dispproved about her when she thrown TenTen at the wall.It wasn't her fault that that leaf nin was weak.But she kept on thinking about him when he said she was a skilled ninja.She felt a presense behind her and turned around to see her enemy but it was just Kankuro and Gaara.They asked her about her feelings toward Ranma and she just changed the subject every time they brought up the Wild Horse.
All in all,everybody was trainning for the final exams.
A few days later Ranma and Lee was let out of the Hospital and they went to the mountains with Gai's permission .Ranma asked Lee about his sudden bursts of Ki and speed when he faught him and Lee explained about the eight heavenly gates.Ranma think about it and said that Max had a similar technique but it didn't drain him so much until his muscles would snap.So Ranam concerntrated on his speed and ki while Lee did his normal trainning...only this time it was three times the weight he wore.Ranma also practiced his Bo staff technique in the break of dawn, he asked some black smith of the village to make him a staff that weighted along 20kg and he added some ki it to make it even heavier.Unfortunately he didn't ask Max for any money so he was left without one.He was going to gave up his search for a staff until he meet a fat man coming out of the hospital.It was Choji's dad and he was carrying a golden staff with him.
"Man it would be cool to have one right now,I'm sure Max is trainning his swords style right now...." said Ranma before he go and gather his things and meet up with Lee.Suddenly the fat guy spotted him eyeing his staff and turned to face him.
"You look troubled young one,what's in your mind?" asked Choji's dad (I forgot his name).
"Well I was gonna get myself a metal staff to use for the finals but I kinda am...broke." said Ranma while studying this man infront of him.
"Oh you're the one that made that tornado right? Nice jutsu you got there.I think I could help you with finding a staff come follow me home and I'll borrow you my old one when I used as a Genin." said CHoji's dad.
Ranma was excited and bowed to him.He followed the staff using ninja to his house and he recieved a red staff about 5 foot and a half in leight.
"This was the one I used back then.It's a little heavy are you sure you can handle it? " asked the man.
"Sure thanks Mr...um I never get your name right sir." said Ranma as he tested the weight on the staff,it was heavier than he thought.
"Don't worry about it just call me Mr (Input Choji's Dad's Name Here)"
Ranma was jumping with joy as he meet up with Lee in the mountains again.The staff weights about 40kg.
--------------------
Haku tried some hand seals and shouted "Hijutsu : Nadare No Jutsu(Avalanche no Jutsu) !!! " nearly all her chakra was used up in this technique.The water from the lake behind Haku risen up so high it reached nearly 200 meters.It turned into ice and washed over the forest infront of her.The result was worse than her 'Waterfall Explosion' or 'Ice Dragon jutsu'.The trees were uprooted from the Ice turned waters,heck even if it didn't turn into water the force from it would destroy almost as much damage.The sight was frightening yet beautiful as the rays from the evening sun reflected off the ice surface.It was magnificent indeed.Haku gave a smile and picked up her things to go back to her tent.She was so tired that she didn't bother to make dinner.I need to increase my chakra levels and water absorbing skills if I were need to perform that technique in a battle. though Haku as she slept straight away in her tent.
--------------------
At Trainning area 18, Max was sweating hard as he was doing his best at maintaining his Genbu Shield, he knew that in order to survive Ranma's quick barages of Ki assults he need to keep up his shield long enough.He wore ten weighted things on his body this time.His fingerless gloves was like Kakashi's if you minus the fact that they were weighted down by Ki and a piece of lead instead of steel at the back of his fists.Then he wore arm guards and knee gaurds that was filled with lead too.His vest was weighting close too 40 kg.The shoes were also weighted 5kg each.His headband was filled with a little ki so he could focus ki on any part of his body for a quick boost of energy.His whole body now weighted 120kg minus his normal body weight an added ki weight.He added the weights every two days each until he have to depend on ki because his vest couldn't support anymore weights.He also input ki into his sword Arainami for making it havier and sharper,he didn't want to hurt anyone in the exams but it wouldn't hurt if he trainned it would it? Who knows, maybe Ranma would bring his own staff along and they would have a weapons match instead.How right he is.
--------------------
Hayate was killed that day by Baki and the whole village of Jounins and Chuunins were shocked at the sudden attack by the unknown enemy.They suspected the Sand but they didn't have enough proff for it.
--------------------
Two Weeks Later.....
"Summoning no Jutsu !!!! " screamed Naruto as he slammed his hands on the ground,a puff of ninja smoke and there stood a flapping little tadpole.Well atleast this one had apair of legs.
"YOU HAVE NO SKILL AT ALL YOU BRAT !!"
"SHUT UP PERVERT YOU DID'T SEEM TO HELP ONE BIT !!! LOOK !!" as Naruto pointed at the um...tadpole.
"?"
"There are legs this time so I made progress."
"....."
--------------------
"Nineth Strike !! Ki Cutter !! " screamed Max as he made a wide arch at the wooden pole 10 feet infront of him.A blue half moon shaped energy blade made it's way at the pole.Nothing happened at first but then a cool breeze blewed the top off.Max did another slash the the second pole was missing it's top just as the first.
I need to make the strike distance further and stronger.My aim needs some work too...this is getting harder by the minute.thought Max as the sound of the third pole dropped on the ground.
--------------------
Haku was doing some intense physical trainning as she gathered all the water molecules aroung her.Blobs of water from the lake could be seen hovering around her as she destroyed them one by one with her punches and kicks.
Need to strike faster.....and gather more...
--------------------
"Bakuryou Dageki !! (Lightning Strike) " shouted Ranma as he launched his bo staff with chestnut speed(Don't ask me how fast this is) at Lee who was trying his best to block it.
"Good work Lee, you could block it this time.It seems like your speed and stregnth have increased after you did the Baksai Tenketsu and the Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken training." said Ranma as he continued doing strikes, pokes and under sweeps to knock Lee of balance.
"It's all thanks to you
Ranma-san." said Lee then leap from a three poke combo by Ranma and landed a few feet away " That I had reduced the journey to become a better fighter. " Lee had also learned not to over
react everytime someone did something for him or when he had accomplished something minor himself. It was a deal he made when Ranma started to train him. The truth was that Ranma was anoyed at him (Doesn't everybody?) and made a lecture that by doing those sily dances would waste unwanted energy and make Lee lose his matches.
--------------------
The three Unseen Light Shinobis did nothing but meditate the whole time until Koga started to give out a bluish aura arounf him. Santaro and Shiro started to move away from him and after 20 second the aura died down and they congratulated Koga on his improvement.
--------------------
The day Naruto did his first(The rest don't count I think) real summon and called upon the Great Boss of all Frogs, he had summoned Gamabunta by using Kyubi's chakra while he was falling down the cliff that Jiraiya pushed him. He woke up in a hospital after that for over use of Chakra though.
--------------------
Angered by the fact that there were other fighters better than him out there and still haven't been able to get his revenge Sasuke did all he could to achieve a third Chidori at the huge boulder infront of him.
" KYAAAAAAA !!!! " he screamed out his lungs and pushed his body to the limits even though Kakashi told him that he could only do two Chidori a day.
His hands were bleeding and he was tired from the strain...but he had accompished what he wanted. Uchiha Sasuke smirked at the third hole between the other two in the boulder and slumped down to his feet.
Suddenly he heard a russle fron the bushes and he turned to find...Orochimaru, one of the three Legendary Ninja's of the Leaf.
"Sasuke-kun, we meet again." said the snake Senin as he walked towards Sasuke who was trying hard to stand up. Orochimaru saw the boulder with the holes on them and smiled at him " So you've learned the Chidori from Kakashi-kun ? I'm sure you must be quite strong right now....but I could make you even stronger....Stronger than that three rats from the Hidden Sun."
Sasuke was shocked, Orochimaru can give him that kind of power? "How can you do that? " asked Sasuke, clearly thinking about this...deal.
Orochimaru was about to continue but then he leaped away from four kunais with explosive notes attached to them. The notes exploded as Sasuke heard a series of Shuriken and Kunais clashing together then a cloud of smoke covered the place infront of Sasuke.
"Ah...Kakashi-kun...so nice of you to drop in." came the familiar voice of Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru.....what are you doing here? I don't suppose you came here just to visit little old me do you?" answered Kakashi, his voice was void of his carefree tone and Sasuke could swear he heard Kakashi's voice waver a little bit.
What is going on there....I can't see from all this smoke. thought Sasuke as he held on the ege of the boulder using his kunai as a hnd hold to keep him standing.
"I just come to check out your new student....I didn't know that you'd let Genins pass on your team. What makes this one special? "
Kakashi's right visible eye widened at this but he kept his cool dispite the closeness of the snake senin " He's...like me...and you are not welcomed here in the Leaf. Leave or..."
"Or what Kakashi-kun? You're not the only one that picked up tricks everywhere over the years....but I can tell you this..." said the snake senin as he released his hold on the Kunai and leaped back a few feet to make a new set of handseals.
Kakashi too leaped away and revealed his left Sharingan eye and make his own handseals with his scroll.
Orochimaru finished his seals and summoned a bunch of snakes appeared around him " I am here to offer Sasuke a path to become a powerful fighter....more powerful than he currently is and there is nothing you can do to stop me."
Sasuke was surprised when he heard this.Didn't Max told me that he was only after my body ? But...it's so....tempting...NO I won't do this...not before... Sasuke's thoughts were cut short as Orochimaru attacked Kakashi even with Kakashi's dog summons.
Orochimaru smirked the scene infront of him as Kakashi's dogs battle his snakes.Then he saw Sasuke near the blouder and dashed at the Uchiha but then he saw a blue spark coming from his left so he evaded the attack that Kakashi sents him. He stopped to gaze at Kakashi with a fully charged Chidori in his right hand glaring at him.
The snake senin smirked at the pitiful sight " Heh, I'm tired of playing with you Kakashi-kun...to think that you'd come up with a newer technique..." then he lowered his left eye lid and gazed into Kakashi's eyes to completely paralyze the Copy Ninja and walked slowly towards the now frightened Sasuke.
This....this cannot be happening....I...I'm much stronger now...or am I? Even Kakashi-sensei was paralyzed....I...can't..move a muscle...I should have listened to him about using two Chidori a day. thought Sasuke but it was too late as he saw something that would haunt him like the murdering of his parents and his clan by Itachi. Orochimaru's neck started to launch towards him and it bit him on his neck.
Sasuke screamed from the pain and crouched down on his weakened knees.He tried to look up but he was unabled to even move his hands. He was able to take a peek at Kakashi's direction to see the Jounin staring at him with a frightened expression on his face. The boy was puzzled at why his teacher was doing nothing to help him. What he don't know was that Kakashi was trying his best to counter against the Senins Jutsu as he watched helplessly at his student..the one he tried to protect...the one that was same as himself...the one that inherted the Sharingan and the Chidori...the one he failed to protect.
The young Uchiha screamed once again in agony as the pain registered in his mind until he finally passed out either from the pain or exhaustion.
Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled at his 'work' then he turned towards Kakashi and made his summons disappear along with his insane laughter.
After a few minutee, Kakashi was released from the Jutsu and he rushed towards Sasuke to check on his pulse. He was releaved when he get a pulse but cursed himself for failing to help Sasuke against the Senin's attack. He quickly carried Sasuke to the Hospital via teleportation and reported this to the Hokage.
-------------------
Max jerked up his head at the unnerving feeling he felt not long ago and glanced around to search for the source of the feeling but he failed to do so.
Hmm...that's strange...wonder what was that. thought Max as he scanned his suroundings again then he closed his eyes to meditate.
"Hey I forgot about making lunch !! Damn....now I need to go back to town again....oh well."
-------------------
Ranma and Lee was currently stealing food from each other as they had their lunch.Ranma insisted that this was a good way of training for speed and eye coordination plus concentration. Lee was losing badly at first by breaking his plate or his hold of the chopsticks from too much force on them but he was finally getting the hang of it.....after missing a few meals.
-------------------
Haku took out five scrolls and absorbed the water source in them. Who knew that taking a look at the Leaf Local Library could bring out such ideas like sealing water supply in plain scrolls ? This saves up the time and concentration for her to collect the tiny water molecules in the air for her powerful blasts and new Ice Jutsus.
She wiped the light sweat off her forhead to savour the sweat aroma of her lunch.....bacon and eggs...
-------------------
(A/N : I'll skip the rest that happened in the manga cause I'm so lazy to re-write all that.)
The day for the final test of the Chunin exam has finally arrived and the Genins were getting excited as they stood in a line behind Gemma(The Jounin with the tooth pick) He turned to give them some pep talk as they walked up the balcony and wait for the first match.
Max was wondering where the hell was Sasuke. He did save him from that snake freak right?
The first match was Uzumaki Naruto VS Hyuuga Neji.....and we all know what happen right? No? Then I suggest you go read another fic.
Sasuke's match was extended like in the manga....
Max was worried as he was sure that Orochimaru didn't get the curse seal on Sasuke in time. He looked at Haku and she to wore a puzzled look on her face.
"Although I don't like that bastard for what he did in the manga but he IS a character in the Naruto series....damn where is he? Maybe he's learning the Chidori? Or maybe..." Haku put a hand on Max's shoulder and told him not to worry.
And so the match was dragged back to the last match.
Next match....Kankuro VS Santaro.
Ranma was cheering on Santaro but was dissapointed when Kankuro gave up his match.
Next match.....Koga Vs Haku.
"Go Haku !! Go Santaro !! " Max and Ranma cheered on as their friends headed for the center of the Arena.
Gemma counted to three and leave the fight scene as the two Shinobis stared at each other.
Koga was sizing Haku with his sixth sense and was shocked to find that Haku was emitting pure white Ki from her This....this is...What a pure heart...never...seen something so pure...have a rough pass...but...I sense two Ki in her body...this body isn't her's... Koga was confused as he was trying to figure out what happened to Haku's state.
He didn't know about Haku being a clone from another body and the soul was starting to merge with her original soul.
Haku was thinking about the Jutsus she would use to defeat Koga and smiled as she suddenly did a jump and unleashed a barage of needles at a still pondering Koga but he dodged them with ease and attacked with his own batch of double handed kunais.
By the time they stopped the whole place was filled with Kunais, Shurikens and yes....hundreds and hundreds of Senbons from Haku.
TenTen was staring wide eyed at the huge display of weapon hidding and was envious of Haku and Koga's aim. Though they dodged each other's attacks some hits were bearly avoidable and deadly aimed for vital points. Their speed and coordination plus their Chakra control was amazing as they sometimes leaped at the exact time the weapon come in pin point range. Then there was the quick reflexes of blocking the weapons thrown at them, Haku used her senbons while Koga uses his Kunai. The fact that Koga was blind even made the task harder for TenTen to believe it was humanly posible for one to hear the destination of weapons launched at him...and senbons are used by Hunter Nins for their lack of noise when thrown.
Haku and Koga was now staring at each other. Koga didn't bother to check for any more weapons on him since his collection of Kunais and other hidden weapons were all used up. Haku on the other hand was glad that Max and Ranma taught her the hidden weapons technique....which originated from the Amazon village by Mousse (Read Ranma half or my previous chapters)
Her supply of Senbons where also nearly finished since every time she have to use three senbons at once to do damage but it seems that the only thing her attacks did was reduce the weapons of Koga.....and finally notice Koga's speed.
"This is not my real speed if that's what you're thinking Haku-san." said Koga then he continued as Haku's eyes widened at his reply " Looks like I need to use my Jutsus to Win this match...sorry for this is going to cost you your chance of winning this match." the he did a quick handseal and shouted his Jutsu " Ninpo : MonoSugoi Misaru !! " (Ninja Technique : Earth Shattering Missiles)
Haku stared in disbelieve as the earth infront of Koga started to rise up to a wall towering up until it reached the height of the balcony.Then started her own handseals as the wall gave out a loud roar and launched rolls after rolls of missiles made by hard rocks and mud.
"HiJutsu Makyou HyouShou !" chanted Haku as she enters her mirror just in time as a huge missile destroys the mirror in one single shot. Haku appeared behind Koga but soon leaped to one side as a missile was launched towards her from the tall missile launcher.
It seems that Koga have the same ability like a Hyuuga....only he sees with our Ki or Chakra signiture. thought Haku as she made another afford to dodge the second missile I need to get him or else I'm doomed ....my water jutsus won't be able to defeat Earth elemental Jutsus...this is bad.
"You have no where to hide Haku-san , soon the whole place will be filled with my Missiles and then my real attack will be revealed. I suggest you quit the match before I get to that." shouted Koga acrosss the loud explosions happening around him.
Suddenly Haku dashed towards Koga's hidding place under the wall and she zig zagged her way while dodging the missiles. She suffered a few bruises from the close contact of the Missiles but choose to take the hits and charged up her remaining Jutsu as she took out a scroll to release a huge pillar of water straight towards a stunned looking Koga.
The Unseen Light Shinobi would've widen his eyes..if he had any when the water slammed his body on his own wall.His hands were shaken off contact with the ground and his control over the high pile of ...um...earth was totally lost as a Missile came screeching down at the two Shinobis.
The Wall started to collapse as the arena was filled with clouds of dibris and dust from the destruction done by the failed Jutsu.
Gemma was seen shaking his head side to side "Why dose this year's match always made the arena so messed up? I hate to see the fact of the cleaners though."
Max and the rest of the Genins that knew Haku and Koga shouted their names but the cloud of smoke was too thick to recognise anyone....
Suddenly a shadowed figure blasted towards the Heavens and the dust was pulled away with it. The vacuum that created followed was pulling away the dibris, leaving a semi large hole in the middle of the small dirt hill that was formerly the wall by Koga.
Everyone stared at the now landing figure and saw Koga holding Haku on one hand and another holding a huge bumble bee.
Their clothes were torn and their faces were battered. Haku was breathing slowly as she landed and smiled at Koga for rescueing her at the last minute. She raised her hands to give up the match as she had taken a beating from the missiles. She was put on a streacher by two medic nins and was taken to the healing ward. Max wanted to follow them but the next match was his and Ranma's match so he and Ranma leaped down the arena.
"Let's make this quick Ranma-kun....I want to check up on Haku." said Max in a stoic voice while Ranma nodded "Yeah, me too."
Gemma made a gesture with his hands and anounced the start of the match.
Max took out Arainami from his back and smirked at Ranma "Remember this Ranma ? It's been a long time."
Ranma took out his staff he kept with him and grinned at Max's surprised face " Yup...a long time since I kicked your ass."
The two launched at each other as blade and metal clashed in the middle.
Max lifted his sword and made a strict stance as he gazed at Ranma whom inturn twisted his staff and prepared for the attack.
"Fourth Stance : Counter of Spears." said Max as he aimed at Ranma's left shoulder then stopped in the middle as he swiched his target to Ranma's right leg.Then he turned around to make a straight stab at Ranma's chest but slashed at Ranma's face.
Ranma was shocked. As he saw the attack he was sure to block the incomming slash but the sudden twist and turnings plus the slash comming athis face freaked him out so he did a back flip and landed a few feet away to glare at Max.
"What the hell was that? You never made contact at my body but the parts you attack....Hey is this some new style or you've been keeping this from me?" asked Ranma.
"I was keeping it from you...but I'm a bit rusty so I guess I'll use something I pick up from my favourite game character." smirked Max as he started to gather ki in his sword.
Ranma wasn't going to let Max pull another surprise on him again so he charged instead " Bakuryou Dageki " the lightning fast strike hit Max in his chest and shocked the ehll out of him.(Pardon the pun)
Max rolled a few feet away in a smoking heap from the strike and tried to stand up.
"That was mean Ranma....but here's my version of that...RAIJINGEKI !!!" a bright light started to shine from Arainami in Max's hands and he thrusted his sword at Ranma.The sword was emiting electricity as Ranma blocked it with is staff.
Ranma smirked at the attempt strike and made another attack " Magnum Break !!!" Ranma slammed his staff at the ground to send a giant fisure towards Max who leap high above Ranma and called out his next copied move "Hyoretsuzan !" Arainami turned into a giant Ice Lance and he dived down at Ranma who in turn sends a Ki blast at Max.
The Ki blast destroyed the Ice Blade and Ranma slammed the end of his staff at Max,sending him flying bodily towards the wall.Max was hurt badly but he was able to stand up with the help of doing the first Nine Solar Stance.
Ranma smirked as he felt the increase of Ki levels in Max so he released the Ki limiters on his wrists to 1/4 energy, giving him a quick boost of energy.
"Time for round two Max... Rekka Sutoraiku !!" Ranma's staff started to glow crimson red and charged at Max.
"Yeah, Shippuga !!" Max's blade made a wide ark and a Ki slash was sent flying towards Ranma.
The Ki blade was reflected by Ranma's Bo staff, Ranma continued his barrage of attacks and continued to burn Max away.The heat from his staff was so hot that Max started to sweat vigorously.Then Max started his second and third stance.
Ranma opened his Ki limiters to full power and pressed on his attack to the fleeing Max.
"This is fast Ranma, one might think you're still holding back. Ryuuenjin !!" Arainami bursted into flames as Max did a jump when Ranma was just inches infron of him. The attack nearly caught Ranma by surprise but the sudden gathering of heated Ki from Max alerted Ranma so he was able to bring up his staff to block the fiery blazes just in time.
Max cursed at his timing but made a turn in mid air to launch three kunais with explosive notes to Ranma's escape path. The explosion knocked the two Martial Artist away but they were just slightly battered as Ranma shouted out his new trick.
"First gate open : Initial Gate !!"
"Fourth Solar Stance !"
The two figures charged at each other as the audience stared wide eyed at the second most damaging fight after the match by Haku and Koga. Lee was cheering on for Ranma and Naruto cheered on for his friends.Hokage was stunned at the performance of the two Shinobis that claimed to be of the Hidden Village of the Rising Sun...which was never on any record in his private library.
Orochimaru was REALLY comparing the value of the Sharingan using Sasuke and the wild and power Ranma.
"Second gate open : Heal Gate !!"
"Fifth Solar Stance !!"
"Third gate open : Life gate !!"
"Sixth Solar Stance !!"
The fight was so intense that by the opening of Ranma's third gate, all the audience could see was a red blur and a golden spark clashing each other. They could feel the power radiated from Ranma and Max and also each time one of them managed to land punch or a kick to each other. Max was clearly losing since he was not too experience on fighting hand to hand combat like Ranma but the Solar stance helped to reduce some of the damage he recieved...some though.
"Fourth Gate Open : Harm Gate !!" yelled Ranma and with a super quick boost of speed he managed to break through Max's defenses and land a hard punch on Max's stomach slamming him on the wall and also planted a second knee strike up his guts making Max spit out some blood.
"Ow...damn that hurts.....Okay...I...I give up....just stop punching me." stuttered Max as he raised his hands.
Ranma closed his gates and smirked...not after he gets kicked in the face by an anoyed looking Max "And you don't have to hit so hard either."
TBC...
==================================
(A/N : Oh My God !! This chapter sucks....I hope you guys can forgive me since I was in a shitty mood. I just recovered from my sickness but I still have this damn pain in my throat. Then I busted my Moms car....then my assignment was due on tomorrow...and a test up tomorrow....and....AARRGGHHH whatever....just review ok. Doesn't matter if you say it sucks this time. I know I did a crappy job at it.)
