The Dragon Has Landed.
Chapter 7: Ass Kickin Time !!
Disclaimers: I don't own Tekken Kid, Naruto or Ranma 1/2 here, except some changes I made to them.The rest aren't mine but I do OWN Max.The two techniques here are from the Ranma 1/2 and Tekken Kid(Iron Fist Kid).The idea of the new pressure points and it's effect were inspired by reading Jeffrey "OneShot " Wong's Just Won't Die Series.I hope he don't kill me after this.The rest are all my imagination.The technique of the Homing Attack was inspired by reading Hung's Fighting Blind.
Now for the replies:
laZy hyuuGa : Thanks and I'm finally well.Sorry can't do that since I got the whole story figured out when I was taking a bath.
Bandit:Thanks ! I'm happy that you like my fic.
Asphixia : Ok,thanks too.I'll take your advice then...since no one else reviewed.I was kinda sad by that.Anyway on with the show.
"Blah" speech
#Blah# Thoughts
-----------------------
(A/N: I decided to make the fights as close to the original as posible.Naruto will fight Neji and Gaara will fight with Sasuke.Shikamaru will fight Temari and the rest is....not a secret if you read this chap.)
The three brothers decided to go on different paths while training for the final Test.Max borrowed one of the training fields they have in the Village.It is Training field 18 and he brought all the things he needed to train there until the final week.Haku prefered to stay near the pond and so he sets up his own tent there.Ranma and Lee recovered from their wounds a few days later and they went to the mountains to train.They met Kakashi there and he said that he was training Sasuke so they will have to find another mountain to train...and they found one.
The Sand Siblings were also training hard as they knew that the final test will be harder than the preliminary matches.Seing Ranma go all out was frightening and Gaara wanted to see if Sasuke was worthy enough to become his opponent as Ranma and his brothers.Temari worked hard on her fan and even Taijutsu while Kankuro worked Korasu on several Taijutsu styles since Ranma taught them some Anything Goes stances.Gaara was practicing his Taijutsu without his Sand shield and did his Kata on dummies and wooden polls.Neji trained with TenTen on his Kaiten and Hake while Shikamaru was busy...watching the clouds...
Max State......
Max set up his tent and did the standard warm up of the Anything Goes plus Itachi and Zabuza's starting warm up.That includes 500 push ups and various body stretches.After taking a small breather he took his sword and practiced his sword styles and Chakra control on the wooden polls.Soon it was time for lunch and he went and took out his pan and cook some Sardin fish with fried rice.
#I could do all my stances without any problems,my jutsus are fine but Ranma and Haku knew all my tricks.I need to think of a new technique ...make that two techniques.I know Ranma could come up with a counter to every move his enemy makes.# thought Max as he finished his lunch and washed the dishes by the water tap near by.
Then he look up at the trees and sighed "But what should I do? Genjutsu works well on Ranma....if I can catch him off guard.His speed is almost as fast as Haku.I can't suck his chakra freely because of his battle Aura protecting him but I can cut off his chakra suply to his jutsu...that won't do any difference since he knew my styles as well as I know his."
Max walked in he centre of the field and took out Arainami to make some smoothing katas while he thinks of a way to counter his brother's style...which is almost imposible to counter.That night Max was tossing and turning in his sleep because he couldn't make up a move yet.
The next day he decided to try and tune up his stamina and did double work outs and chakra control excersise then releases his Ki blasts and Taijutsu.He knew that Ranma would target his sword first so he tried to do his unarmed combat training on the Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken to speed up his fist and reaction timing.After three days,Max couldn't take it anymore and he went to the town for some food and to take in the sights of Konoha village while thinking up the way to start his new move.
As he was walking down the street he saw some kids playing a game of tag and he smiled when he remembered his childhood with Haku and Ranma,then he saw the second kid got tagged by the 'IT' and laughed at the kid's face when he got tagged the second he left his hand.Then an idea struck Max's head."That's it !! I finally got it." shouted Max out loud and he made a mad dash back to his camp after buying all the ramen he could carry.
Max started to meditate under a tree as a blue aura flared around him then he opened his eyes and leaped high up a tree to fire off three Kunais to the air.He reared back his cupped hands and let loose with three Ki blast and shouted his new move "Homing Ki Blast!!" the three ball of Ki headed straight towards the Kunais and struck them in the air then they started to turn back to strike him.Max smiled as his move worked,he took out eight Kunais and threw them at the balls and watch in joy as the ki balls evaded the incoming objects and made contact with his body.The balls exploded and he fell down the tree while laughing as his body hurt all over.He found the way to fight with Ranma.
If he could distract Ranma in a place to put his Genjutsu on him then Ranma will surely lose.His Homing Ki balls will keep him busy avoiding the blasts and he could make a seal to trap Ranma.The plan was perfect.That night Max slept peacefully knowing that he had accomplished one of the most challenging task ever.He knew that this trick won't work twice on Ranma so he need to practice everyday to perfect it.
Ranma's State....
After coming out of the Hospital with various bruised ribs and concusions plus a broken left arm,Ranma was lucky that he could use Ki to speed up his healing process and start his training dispite the bickerings of the doctors for him to take it easy.
He went to the mountains Lee had selected and trained with Lee there to increase his speed.He knew that Max's usesage of Genjutsu was better than him,hell Max's Genjutsu was the best amongst the three brothers.He will have to be fast enough to avoid being cast by Max's Jutsus.Then there was that damn chakra stealing sword of his that always anoys the hell out of him.Luckily he knew to counter the sword techniques by using Ki to protect him.The only thing for him to do was to make a new move to counter Haku's speed attacks with those mirrors.Sure the Senbons are low in attack power but knowing Haku,his knowlage on pressure points are as good as Max and himself.Haku knew were to strike and that could bring down anyone...even the Wild Horse himself !
Ranma taught Lee how to summon up his own Ki and to use them as projectiles while Lee taught Ranma about the Heavenly Gates.The thought about seing Haku's face when he destroys his mirrors kept Ranma awake the whole time.
Ranma could open the first and second gate easily with his training on the Human body and his expirience with Ki.The thrid gate was a little bit hard because he needs to control the major out burst of Ki and Chakra in him.So he stopped learning them and started to focus on strenghtening his kI control and mental power to help control his own body.Only then that he would learn the third and fourth Gates.
Ranma smirked at Lee's explaination on the gates "This is gonna be a challenge....and Ranma Saotome never losses to a challenge."
Haku's State......
Haku glanced at the pond infront of him and relaxed as the cool breeze blew through his long and silky hair.He thinks about all the stuff that happened in this new life with his two bothers.Zabuza was alive and he was stronger than ever,he also have his own family and precious persons to protect.This was the best thing that ever happened to him as he breathed in the air around him and stretched out his arms to throw his senbons at the tree leafs falling from the trees.They were strong and true as each of them was perfectly executed.
Haku was a genius in manipulating water molecules to make shapes of Senbons and other things from water.His water jutsu might even be better than Zabuza himself so said the Demon of the Mist.Haku chuckled at seing the face of Ranma when his Karyu Endan turned into water vapors from Haku's Jutsu.Ranma he could handle...the only problem was Max's Genjutsu.
He knew that Max's Genjutsu is best worked when the opponent is in one place.Haku's speed is fast but he mustn't over look the fact that Max's seals are effective against his Demonic Mirrors."I must use other jutsus to fight with him.My Mirrrors won't effect Max-onichan at all since I will be easily detected by his sword and then he could catch me from the mirrors.My illusion won't escape his eyes and I will be defeated.I must do something about that....
Then Haku turned his attention back at the pond infront of him and smiled as he thought of a great plan to counter Max's Genjutsu.Ice elemental Jutsus.Haku could contol water and make them into ice particles to attack Max while he is concentrating on the mirrors.
Haku leaped and stand on the pond while making his handseals to create a giant water dragon.Then he started to do the Soul Of Ice technique Ranma taught him the other day while learning the basics of the Hiryu Shoten Ha and tried to turn the water dragon into an Ice dragon.He failed and the water dragon disappeared in the pond.After a few more tries his chakra went out and he swam back to sore but was stunned when his body touched the water....it was cold.
Soon Haku decided to try on smaller amount of water and tried the technique on his water senbons.They all turned into ice senbons and they were stronger than their water counter part.He made water lances and turn them into Ice Lances and he could even make Ice Bunshins given the right amount of water from his scrolls.
---------------------
Naruto was learning to summon a frog by Jiraya's tutor and manage to summon.....a little tadpole instead. (Blah, blah, blah,skip this part )
---------------------
Baki was informed by Kabuto on Orochimaru's plans and contacted the Hokage about this.The Hokage sends out Anbus and Jounins to guard the gates at the West and South border of the village and thanked the Sand Jounin for this info.
Gaara could be seen sparing with Kankuro's puppet without his Sand Gourd while Temari made lunch for her brothers.Baki told them about the plans and trained with them.
Sasuke was breathing hard at the mountains as he unleashed a Chidori at the boulder infront of him and slumped down at his knees while holding his shoulder.His curse seal wasn't acting up though but he always get this urge that by giving in to the power of the curse seal he will be able to defeat him,the one who murdered his whole family and clan,the who left him alive to be the avenger he is now,the one who will pay for all the sins he did,the one who will taste the warm blood in his hands,the one who....the one who..."AARRGGGHHHHHH!!!!! CHIDORI !!! " Sasuke screamed and he charged at the boulder again.This time he manage to go in a few inches more after passing out......the one who he once loved as his brother...the one who he will face and defeat...the one who will die in his hands as he takes his sweet revenge.That is what Uchiha Sasuke,the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan.The genius of Konoha,the unbeatable number one Genin of his generation and team mate to Uzumaki Naruto the Loudest Ninja in Konoha and Haruno Sakura,the pink haired (And anoying) Kunoichi who is in love with him.
Sasuke woke up with a start when a bucket of cold water was splashed on his battered body.He saw Kakashi there reading his perverted book and a pot of God-Knows-What boiling there.#Hmm...must be dinner.# thought the Uchiha genius as he ate silently.Kakashi joined him after a few pages and talked about controling the Chidori.Tomorrow he must make his technique perfectly if he was to win the Third test.He saw what the others can do and was very disturbed when he heard what Kakashi told him.Naruto had won the match with Kiba (Which was almost unbelievable) and that the other teams from Team Sand and Team Mist were also in the next match.Lee was out while fighting with Ranma and Sasuke was shocked when he saw what was left at the tower Arena by the cameras hidden there.The fight between Genins was forbidden ofcourse but he was able to see know what happened by listening to Kakashi discribing the match.
#There are people stronger than me out there....and here I am in this village doing trainings at the last moment.I should be as strong as them while doing those stupid D rank missions but the only real battle I had was with Haku....and he kicked my ass the last time I remember.# thought Sasuke as he completed his hand seal and charged at the boulder once again.He was trained to increase his speed and stamina plus the usage of his Sharingan in battle.He copied Lee's technique when he fought Yaroi and Kakashi said that in order to defeat his opponent with the Chidori he must be good in also his Taijutsu and speed.A new fire within Sasuke burned when he knew that his first opponent was Gaara of the Sand,the one who never recieved any damage while returning from his missions.
"Kuchiyose No Jutsu !!" screamed a certain blonde Shinobi as he slammed his blood stained palm on the ground while a puff of ninja smoke was created only to reveal.....another tadpole.
Screams of 'You Are Useless !!' and 'Shut Up Perverted Senin !' could be heard across the vally.
---------------------
Two weeks had passed and Ranma completed his training and started opening the third gate flawlessly without any difficulty and Lee was leaping with joy because he had fired his first Ki blast.
"Oh my God !! Now I have my own projectiles in Battle !!" cried Lee while he fires another Ki blast at a boulder which exploded when the ball of Ki made contact.
Ranma smiled at Lee and released his own ki blast,which was twenty times bigger since he was still in his third gate state.Lee's eyes were wide eyed as he felt the heat from the Ki blast and the whole mountain glowed that night as Ranma continued his Ki blasts in his third Gate state.
"Haku's gonna have a hard time keeping his mirrors intact when I gave him my dosage of Ki balls." said Ranma and he celebrated his accomplishment with Lee.
Mean while Max was grining evily when he let loose with twenty Ki balls and let them fly around him like giant fire flies."Ranma...you won't out run me this time."
Haku made a handseal and his Ice Dragon leveled the land on the sore. "Max-onichan is going to be surprised when he sees this new trick I made."
Meanwhile....
"Sabaku Kikanjuu!! (Dessert Machine Gun)" shouted Gaara as his Sand Shield spreaded sand bullets acroos the field between Kankuro and himself.The Sand bullets pierced the rocks and trees that was there a few minutes ago.Gaara's new jutsu was completed and no one could escape the firing of his deadly projectile.#My sister's wind won't be able to blow away THESE babies....# smirked Gaara as Sand flowed back into his Gourd on his back.
"Kaze Kyanon no Jutsu (Wind Canon) !!" screamed Temari as a horizonal pillar of wind headed towards the huge boulder infront of her.The focused wind pressure went through the boulder and made a hole through the middle.It was twenty inches thick and the wind was still going strong and destroyed the trees behind it,leaving a trail of destruction.# I love to see Gaara's face when his Sand Shield was torn away.# thought Temari as she folded her fan back on her back.
Kankuro could command Korasu to do multiple attacks and made chestnut speed strikes with the gadgets in it,he still couldn't pierce through Gaara's Sand Shield though.#This will make them busy while I attack from behind.# thought Kankuro as Korasu walked beside him.
Neji performed his Kaiten and TenTen's weapons bounced off him like ping pong balls.#Ranma Saotome.....I will have the satisfaction of defeating you with my attack after I take care of that anoying Uzumaki Naruto.#
Shikamaru was still gazing at the clouds above....
"CHIDORI !!!" cried Sasuke as he added another hole to the boulder infront of him.He spent the next few days sparring with Kakashi and increasing his stamina and speed while activating his Sharingan.#I'll kill you Itachi.#
That Night Gaara was gazing at the bright moon on a roof but he was interupted by Dosu challenging him.
"So you're here all along.I was busy finding you and I wanted to kill you while you're asleep but I seems that you never sleeps at all...I'll kill you now then." then Dosu prepared to attack Gaara but then he noticed that he couldn't move at all.Then he felt this sinking feeling in him again as he look down at his feet.He was stunned to find them covered in sand.The next thing he knew was the blood running down his arms as the sand bullets pierced his chest.
----------------------
Today was a day that Naruto would remember because this day was the day that he summoned Gamabunta,the Boss Toad all by his own...well..technically speaking.He summoned the Toad with the help of the Kyubi's chakra while falling down from the cliff Jiraiya pushed him.
Naruto woke up with a start as he stood up from the bed he was given in the Hospital ward.The found Shikamaru there smirking at him and went to make fun of Choji while they're at it.Naruto told them about the things he did with Jiraiya but he didn't tell them his secret technique....the Summoning Of The Boss Toad.
----------------------
The last week.....
Team Mist and Team Sand met together at the Ichiraku with Naruto,Shikamaru and surprisingly Ino and Sakura.They talked about the training they had and joked about the times they had together.
"Haku,you are so gonna lose when I face you in my match." boasted Ranma as he took another slurp of his Ramen.The Leaf Genins were shocked at the amount of Ramen Ranma ate...and here they thought Naruto was a Ramen eating freak.
"You better clear that thought brother coz yuo are going down at my blade." smirked Max.
"Max-onichan,I think I can defeat your Genjutsu with my new Jutsu too." said Haku.
"Well,looks like we all have a new skill these days." said Kankuro as he ate his miso Ramen.
Temari shot a look at Max and blushed at the wink he gave her.They left afterwards headed to the Hokage Monument.
"So...are they an item?" asked Naruto.
"Of course they are, how blind can you get." grumbled Shikamaru as he tried to cover his ears from Sakura and Ino's girl talk about how they wished that Sasuke would be like that with them.Kankuro and Gaara sighed as they finished their meal and chatted with the rest of the Genins.
"Damn...if I win the match with that girl I would be a target for her boyfriend then.How troublesome,I should quit." sighed Shikamaru .
"Well...you wouldn't be if you actually trained during the three weeks !" shouted Ino at his ears.
"Shut up woman!!"
Naruto asked Ranma about his Hiryu Shoten Ha and his super fast punches he made.
"Well...it's kinda hard.You'll need pure determination and hard work to learn that.Lee did it under a week though."replied Ranma.
"I can do it too but I can't keep it up as long as Ranma-kun." said Gaara.(Yes..he is OOC coz ...coz...he met Max and yadda yadda..it's my fic...yadda yadda read the first few chaps)
"What? Thick brows did that under a week? I'll do it under five days then....no make it three days." shouted Naruto.
"Hmm....what will you trade it in return." said Ranma.Gaara and Kankuro look at Ranma in a strange way,#what is Ranma talking about?# the two brothers thought.Ranma wasn't like this but he wanted to learn more techniques from everyone in order to win this match....he saw the trick Naruto did with his Kage Bunshins and also came up with his own version with his own Bunshins.
"Um....howabout my Kage Bunshin jutsu?"
"Nope.Learned that."
"Um...I know my Sexy No Jutsu."
"What is that?"
"It is a Jutsu that even the Legendary Senin and Hokage couldn't resist.Watch..Sexy No Jutsu !" as a puff Ninja smoke covered his body....revealing...
#Hmm...must be a powerful technique then.# was the thought that went through every Genins mind.
Revealing....a cute naked blonde with two pony tails.
Gaara grunted and looked away.Kankuro nearly fainted while Shikamaru tried to control his nose from over flowing with his blood.Ino and Sakura fainted straight away while Ranma looked wide eyed at this....this..jutsu.
"How's that?" said Naruto in female form seductively.
"This is the jutsu that even the Hokage feared? You gotta be kiddin me." said Ranma as he turned around.
"Stop this before I change my mind and kill you." said Gaara while hidding his blush under his Armor of Sand.
Naruto cancled his jutsu and recieved his beatings from the two girls who had awoken.
#My cursed form is sexier...hmm...I think I can do something to get back at Max for his damn Genjutsu.# thought Ranma as he started to walk away.Gaara dragged Kankuro and followed Ranma away while Shikamaru walked wobbly back to his favourite spot to watch the clouds.
------------------------
Temari and Max was walking hand in hand at the town area talking about things they did and their plans for the Match.
"Well...I have this jutsu that could even pierce a twenty inch thick boulder..."
"WOW.That must be a powerful one."
"Yeah...but I think you and Ranma could do better." said Temari.She was right though,with a single finger...Max and Ranma could break through any rock or boulder.
"I developed my Ki to home on to any target I set it." said Max.
"That's like a Chakra controled Kunai right? TenTen used that on me but it was useless."
"Yeah,but I only controled it to seek out the Ki signiture I wanted.Everyone has a unique Ki sign and my blast will attack it no matter where he dodge.Your winds can't blow ki away though."
"Well..looks like I don't have to worry about beating you then." smiled Temari at Max who blushed at the tease.
Suddenly a red haired girl appeared around the corner and hugged Max tightly.
"Max-sama !! I have search high and low for you,shall we continue were we left off?" asked the red headed beauty.
"What the? Who are you?" shouted Temari.
"Let go...hey. Teamri-chan ,this isn't what it looks like." explained Max while trying to get the girl away from his arm.Strangely the girl's grip was TIGHT.
"You'd better explain this or else !!" shouted Temari as tears were starting to form in her eye.This couldn't be happening again...all those other dates ...all those excuses...no not again.
"Alright Ranko...or should I say RANMA !!! Stop it or you'll get it." shouted Max as he lifted the red head and throw her on the floor.
Puff and there stood a grining Ranma.
"YOU !! Where are my brothers?" demanded Temari.
"Um...look at the time...gotta go." then Ranma vanished in smoke.#Gotta love this trick.#
"When I see him tonight he's gonna wish he had the curse." grumbled Max.
"What did you mean?" asked Temari as she went red from embarrassment.
"Huh? Oh nothing...sorry about that Temari-chan.Ranma wasn't like that normally." apologized Max .
"N..no.It's me..I should apologize for jumping on to conclusion."
"Well..um..why don't we have a drink? My treat." offered Max and Temari nodded.The two lovers went to the near by stall for a drink.
Ranma and Kankuro was laughing their heads out from the scene before and Gaara was holding in his laughter but soon gave in when Ranma made his jutsu again with Korasu as Max.
Next day....
Max went to the Konoha Library to look up on some way to increase his own Ki.Althoough he was good in it but he still feels that he was missing something.He look up on the various sections and found a book about pressure points and shrugged as it wasn't what he was looking for.He put the book back and spotted a worn out scroll hidden between the pressure point book and a Katon scroll.
#Hmm...what's this?Let's see..# thought Max as he carefully took out the scroll and open it.The scroll shows a diagram of a naked man and some arrows with signs on it.The wordings on it was the strengh release points.
"Wow...never thought that I could find this here." said Max as he reads the title of the scroll which says that by hitting these four points by the colar bone and the upper shoulder,one could generate a huge amount of stamina and energy which can be converted to Chakra.The other part was an attack combo for this move called The Strike Of The Thunder God.
"This is interesting..." then Max continued to study the move as he read all the warnings and tags available.Then he tried the move on himself and felt a great increase in Ki from his body,it was like his body was about to be exploded by a single movement...but strangely it wasn't chakra at all.
#Maybe they discovered Ki but didn't know how to use it.# thought Max then he let the huge ki subside as he let his body absorbs the Ki.
The technique...The Strike Of The Thunder God or The Strike Of Thor was strangely a Ki attack instead.The user is to gather the strange energy that escapes from the body on the hands and strike three special places on the enemy.The 'Heaven' point,the 'Human' point and the 'Earth' point.In other words,the Heaven point is the forehead,the Human points is the throat and the Earth point is the middle chest part where the ribs met.By striking these three points with the strange energy gathered in ones hands,the enemy will endure a horrible death as if he was striked by actual Lightning.However,the user must train to be able to fully control this strange energy.This technique could be useful to Taijutsu users but it was less used because of the trainings and one would rather use the Lightning Jutsu than this.Thus this technique was used to help medic nins to heal their patients from healing since it was similar to Chakra and the patient would heal faster without the input of Chakra.
Max saw the tag on the last part and found out that there was another scroll similar to this.He found the scroll and read it too.This is a great asset for Martial Artists that uses Ki like Ranma or Max.
The next scroll also shows the picture of a naked man with signs on various parts.
#Hey...this looks familier...# thought Max as he read on.Strangely enough he was staring wide eyed at the description on the technique.It was also a pressure point skill,the user gathers the strange energy in the tips of the index finger ,thumbs and the middle finger and strike three areas under the left nipple of the enemy(Covering the heart).This will release ALL the energy and stamina of the opponent and disorientate him.He will feel weak for a moment and lower his guard as all energy surge through his body like electricity.This is a chance to kill him off with a kunai of a complex jutsu.
The name of the technique is The Strike Of Venus.
#Hmm..wonder why? Anyway..better memorise this as it could be useful in fights with Ranma.Heheheh I'd love to see his face when my Ki increased.# thought Max as he copied the techniques and went to his camp near the training field.
"My homing Ki blasts will be even more powerful with these." said Max as he went to sleep.
---------------------
The time of the third Chunin Exam finally came and the whole hall was filled with spectators from all over the continent and countries.Land Lords and other Ambassadors arrived to see the match between the last Uchiha and Gaara of the Sand.
"Wow..this is different with the Prelimanary." stated Ranma as he stood infront of all the people watching him.
Yenma(The one with the toothpick but I noticed that he was called Genma in some fics.His name is Yenma in my country though)told them to look proud because they were the stars of the show.
The Kazekage sat beside Hokage-sama and they chatted a little until Hayate arrived (He wasn't killed by Baki here) with a piece of papper.
"Okay...cough...this is the match you guys ....cough..are gonna have..cough.."
"Huh? But what about that Sound guy?" asked Shikamaru.Hayate shrugged and anounced the start of the first match.
Uzumaki Naruto VS Hyuuga Neji.....
(Blah,blah,blah ....press forward)
Naruto surprised everyone with his performance as he released Kyubi's chakra and have complete control over it.He was knocked over by the Kaiten from Neji but gave Neji an Upper Cut to the chin from the ground.He dug a whole after he fell.
The Winner....Uzumaki Naruto.
Next Match....Gaara VS Uchiha Sasuke.
Like in the manga Sasuke was late and the match was held back .
Kankuro VS Haku.
"Sorry Kankuro-kun.I will have to end this quickly." said Haku.#I think Max-onichan will win even though Ranma-onichan is the better fighter since he always win with Genjutsu...luckily I have a counter for that.# thought Haku.
"Ahh...vary well..." said Kankuro as he unwrapped his doll.
"Start." said Yenma and the two Shinobis charged at each other...well...it's just Haku against Korasu and Kankuro jumping away from Haku as far as possible.
Haku evaded the hand strike from the puppet's hands as a knife appeared under the wrists filled with poison.
Haku leaped high and threw eight senbons at Korasu and sis five bunshins to attack Kankuro.
Korasu dodged the senbons and shot two arms to defend Kankuro from the bunshin's senbons.
"It seems that you could control it with much ease." stated Haku as he dodged the poison needles from Korasu's mouth and threw another senbon at the puppeteer who stopped the senbon with his chakra that surrounds him.
"Heh,this is my defense.Although not perfect,it could block any weapons from my enemies by my chakra." said Kankuro,then he aimed the senbon at the retreating form of Haku.
"Wow ! Nice." said Max as he sees Haku trying to dodge the senbon.It was ironic that Haku was dodging a senbon thrown by himself.Then Haku teleported on the wall and stuck there with his chakra.He took out a medium sized scroll and unsealed the waters inside.The senbon was not fast enough and Haku's Water Shark jutsu completely knocked Korasu and Kankuro out cold (Pardon the pun)
Winner....Haku.
Next Match Temari VS Nara Shikamaru
Haku was congratulated when he got up to the balcony.
"I didn't think you would do that jutsu this early on Haku." said Max.
"Well...I wanted to end it quickly." replied Haku.Then Shikamaru grumbled that it was gonna be his turn then.Temari smirked at him and flew down the arena with her fan.Shikamaru was pushed down by Naruto and Ranma.
"Match Start" yelled Yenma.
Temari took out her fan and blasted the lazy ninja away with a mighty Kamaitachi Jutsu.
Although I wold like to continue on but you guys probably wants some real action so.....I'll end it like the manga as Temari Won.She didn't do her new attack though.While hidden behind her fan,her shadow was caught.But Shikamaru surrendered because he said he don't have enough Chakra left in him.
Winner...Temari.
Next Match....Max Knight VS Saotome Ranma.
Ookima sensei was sitting beside Baki "This should be interesting." said Baki.
"Indeed" replied Ookima.
Back in the balcony....
"I don't feel good that I won." said Temari.
Max went over to pat her on the shoulder "It's the feeling of guilt I think.Well it's my match against the Wild Horse then..." Max was unable to finish as Temari surprised him with a kiss on the cheek."Becareful." He smiled and jumped down to the waiting Ranma at the Arena.
"Ready to lose to your younger brother Max?" asked Ranma as he bowed to Max.
Max return the bow and entered his favourite stance with his Arainami by the side "I think I should teach you the meaning of the word respect some more." and the two grinned at each otehr.
"Start"
"I know all your tricks Max! I'm not gonna let you catch me." shouted Ranma as he ran circles around Max with high speed.
#Holy shit....his speed is begining to be as fast as Haku.Gotta do this fast.# thought Max as he jumped high in the air while making a familiar Jutsu with the help of the chakra from the sword "Katon: Gokakyuu no Jutsu !!" and blew the flames in the center of the circle.
Ranma stopped his circle and fire a Ki blast at Max in the air who used Arainami to block the attack.Max was shocked to find the force behind the ki blast was harder than before.#Damn,trust Ranma to be able to grow that strong in a month.#
"Mouko Takabisha !!" shouted the pig tailed Ninja as he unleased a big blue ki blast at the falling Max.The audience was stunned at the attack since they never saw anything like this before.
"What the hell is that thing?" said Gai.
Hokage was also shocked to see a ki blast.#This IS interesting....Hidden Mist...is as strong as Sand....# then he turn to look at the Kazekage beside him and smiled.#Luckily we are allies.#
Max was hit by the Ki blast and Arainami was knocked out of his hands.He landed roughly and dodged a series of kicks and punches aimed for him.
"I hate to do this but I have came up a plan to defeat Haku and I wanted to try it on him fast.I need to end this quick so why don't you surrender?" said Ranma.#Gotta strike fast or he'll do those anying Genjutsu on me again.#
Max was trying his best not to scream out because the punches he was recieving was painful.#Damn...so fast....# Max ignored to kick to his shoulder and gave out a ki blast at point break range at Ranma.
Ranma took the hit head on and was shocked to find that it actually hurt.He leaped away from his brotehr and smirked at him "Yuo seem to have a powerful blast there,I didn't think that you could have a killing intent for me."
Max grinned back "It's not purely my killing intent inside that...I inserted a larger amount of PURE ki inside.As you see...Pure ki eats less ki reserves than emotional charged Ki and it's more powerful.I still can't do a 100% pure ki attack though.That was 70% pure ki."
"Hmm...I see,but it's still weak compared to my Ki blast.Take this...Mouko Takabisha !!!" Ranma screamed and he cuped his fist together to create a giant blue sphere of confidence ki and aim it at Max.
"Uh-oh...this is bad.Sesshou Hougeki !!" shouted Max and he released a purple Ki a size of a basketball to counter the giant blue ki headed his way.The two ki blasts collided in the middle and forced each other,trying to out power the other.
The two brotehrs were struggling to take control of the ki blasts for it would be a huge disadvantage if it was to hit any of them.
"Hah,you think that small ki blast is gonna win?" taunted Ranma as he inputed more pressure in his blast.
Max was too focused on his attack and didn't reply his brother.
The audience were shocked(I think I used this word too much) to say anything.They could feel the power radiating from the attacks plus the strange feeling of confidense and killing intent in the two brother's attack.
"What are these attacks? I never knew the mist could produce such powerful Shinobis." exclaimed Yenma and sillently thanked the Kami that Konoha was allied with them along with the Sand.If Genins were this powerful,think of all the Chunins and Jounins there,he shuddered at the raw power that was shown by the two Shinobis.
Gaara was shaking with excitement when he felt the Killing intent in Max's attack.#I think my blast will be stronger than Max.# Temari was sweating bullets and worried about Max while Naruto was rooting on the two Shinobis " GO GO Max !! GO GO Ranma !! "
Shikamaru grumbled beside him "Quiet idiot."
Haku was thinking about his next fight #If Max-onisan wins then I could show him my new technique,but if Ranma would win....I'm not sure about fighting him since his speed and strengh had increased.#
Lee was also rooting on the two fighters but mostly on Ranma.
Finally Ranma smirked at his brother "Give up now brother."
Max grinned dispite the numbing feeling he was getting in his arms for holding out this long "No way man."
Ranma shrugged and opened his first gate.His Ki increased and the blue Ki ball ate the smaller counter part and headed straight towards a stunned Max who braced for the impact.
#BOOOM#
Ranma smirked and radied himself for a surprise attack by his brother.Although he got a hit on Max,Ranma knew that it would need something more to take him down.
#Ranma....you could open the first gate?# Ookima was surprised as well.
A figure appeared from the crater created by the enormus ki blast.It was Max...a slightly charred Max though."Damn that hurts,but I should expect something like this." then he gathered ki on the tips of his finger and grinned at Ranma."This is what I learned the past few days,something that could help me against a genius of Ki.Heavenly Gift !" then Max striked the two spots on his neck and shoulder.Ranma was puzzled by this but braced himself for a powerful attack.
Suddenly Max's ki tripled and Ranma was shocked beyond anything.#Since when his Ki is bigger than mine? No matter since I could open all four of my gates...though the fourth is still hard to control.#
Max grinned at Ranma as his brother shouted the opening of the Second gate.Max dashed for his sword and slashed at Ranma who took out his staff just in time to avoid being riped appart by the scales on Arainami.
The two performed their signiture techniques and their speed was getting faster and faster.
"Takedakeshii Ryu :Chanbara no Kenbu !"
"Takedakeshii Ryu :Ousatsu Sa Ti Mu !"
"Hisaki No Heijin (Sword Blade Of Falmes)" the scales on Arainami burst into flames and burned Ranma's shirt but then Ranma counterd it with another technique.
"Nami Zenshin (Wave Drive)" Ranma's staff bacame longer and strucked Max in the chest sending him a few feet away.He then took out a medium seal to release the water in it.Max landed skillfuly and took out his own seal....this is gonna be a Jutsu battle.
Ranma finished his jutsu first and shouted "Suiton : Suigeki no Jutsu !" a giant War Hammer appeared above him and headed straight towards Max who also finished his own jutsu.
"Suiton : Baizou Ryu No Jutsu !" and released a twin headed water dragon that slammed through the water Hammer.The two jutsus canceled each other out.
Ranma wanted to take out a bigger seal but Max suddenly fired a ball of Ki towards him.
"Heh,such a waste brother." then he dodged the ball of ki...but he was shocked to find it making a turn and continued to follow him around.
"What the hell is this?" shouted Ranma as he gave off a Ki blast to counter it.Strangely it never connected since Max's blast evaded the incoming projectile and headed to him again.Ranma was forced to keep his scroll back in his poket and dodge the ki ball.Then he sensed another one coming at him again from above and he dodged it while giving off another ki blast.Still the two ki blasts twisted and turned to get at him.
"Argghh this is anoying."
"Homing Ki Blast."said Max and he released three more blast into the fray.Then he took out eight Kunais with strange notes on them and threw them on the ground surrounding Ranma for about twenty feet.He made a handseal and inserted all his chakra in the field to make an invisible barrier containing Ranma in it.
"The hell?" screamed Ranma as the five Ki blasts tried to knock him out.
"Don't get out of the field barrier Ranma or you'll get blasted by the explosion note attached to them." said Max as he gave off two more Ki blast at Ranma.
"The Hell with it,Third Gate : Life Gate open!! Ki limiters 1/2 off!!" shouted Ranma and he stood there waiting for the seven ki blasts to strike him.
Max was stunned to see this and knew that with all the ki surounding Ranma and the Life gate giving him extra protection,his normal blasts won't be able to take him down.
"Chou Sesshou Hougeki !" shouted Max and gave it all his Ki in the blast and sends it soaring towards a burned Ranma.
"Limiters Full Power !" shouted Ranma and he let the Ki gather at his arms and made a cross to block the incoming ki ball.Then suddenly it turned around to slam his back from behind in a blink of an eye.
"AARRRGGHH !!" Ranma wasn't prepared for this and the Ki blast hit him head on....um..back on.
Max was panting heavily at his last attack as the effect of the pressure points wore off.
The place surrounding Ranma was filled with dust and smoke.Yenma was about to declare Max the winner but then all the smoke was pushed aside and a red figure dashed out of the barrier headed towards Max.It was Ranma with his fourth gate open.
The barrier flicked and all the explosion tags circled around Ranma and a huge explosion took place but Ranma was unfazed as a layer of Ki was protecting him.
Max took out Arainami and gave a Karyuu Endan at Ranma but he shrugged it off and sent a punch at him.Luckily it was blocked by the broad blade of Arainami.Ranma's fists were bloody from the scales on Arainami but he continued to attack Max.After a few seconds Max gave out a shout that he gave up the match.
Winner .....Saotome Ranma.
Max and Ranma was given treatment immediately after that.
"I never thought that you could lose Max-onichan." said Haku beside Max.
Ranma pouted "Hey,I never lost in a fight."
Haku giggle and said that it was a joke.Teamri glared at Ranma for bruising her boyfriend but gave her attention to Max.
"Heheh,yeah..I couldn't beat Ranma even with a new technique.He surprised me with the fourth gate.Good job." said Max.
Ranma scratched his head and laughed "Well,it was my triump card.I could hold it for only one minute though."
"Well,you defeated me...and I'm proud of it.Although you did hurt my pride as an older brother." replied Max.
"Ah...Gaara-kun here had the smae problem.He is more powerful than both his siblings." said Haku.
Naruto and Lee came to greet the teams."Hey that was soo cool !! Can you teach me how to do those techniques?"
Lee made a pose "Alas,the mighty Wild Horse have won the battle.I feel great for you Ranma-san.I will defeat you one day."
"Right,but let's check out the next match." said Ranma.Everybody nodded as the next match was the match between....
Next match.....Gaara VS Uchiha Sasuke.
Everybody was anxious about the next match since it was between the Sand's most powerful Genin against the last survivor of the Uchiha clan.Suddenly a huge pile of swirling leafs appeared in the middle of th earena and two dark figures came from it.
Yenma asked "State your name."
"Uchiha...Sasuke." said Sasuke flatly.Kakashi greeted his own team and joined the them on the balcony.
Gaara walked down slowly at the hall way and met two man asking him to lose on purpose.Gaara swated and knocked them out.
Sasuke glared at Gaara after Naruto said his "I also want to fight you" speech.
Yenma yelled "Begin!"
TBC...

(A/N : Ah...what a bad boy am I for doing this.. Okay so review please....School started so it could be one chap a week...or maybe two weeks.I will try and do the next chap as fast as I can.)
Chapter 7: Ass Kickin Time !!
Disclaimers: I don't own Tekken Kid, Naruto or Ranma 1/2 here, except some changes I made to them.The rest aren't mine but I do OWN Max.The two techniques here are from the Ranma 1/2 and Tekken Kid(Iron Fist Kid).The idea of the new pressure points and it's effect were inspired by reading Jeffrey "OneShot " Wong's Just Won't Die Series.I hope he don't kill me after this.The rest are all my imagination.The technique of the Homing Attack was inspired by reading Hung's Fighting Blind.
Now for the replies:
laZy hyuuGa : Thanks and I'm finally well.Sorry can't do that since I got the whole story figured out when I was taking a bath.
Bandit:Thanks ! I'm happy that you like my fic.
Asphixia : Ok,thanks too.I'll take your advice then...since no one else reviewed.I was kinda sad by that.Anyway on with the show.
"Blah" speech
#Blah# Thoughts
-----------------------
(A/N: I decided to make the fights as close to the original as posible.Naruto will fight Neji and Gaara will fight with Sasuke.Shikamaru will fight Temari and the rest is....not a secret if you read this chap.)
The three brothers decided to go on different paths while training for the final Test.Max borrowed one of the training fields they have in the Village.It is Training field 18 and he brought all the things he needed to train there until the final week.Haku prefered to stay near the pond and so he sets up his own tent there.Ranma and Lee recovered from their wounds a few days later and they went to the mountains to train.They met Kakashi there and he said that he was training Sasuke so they will have to find another mountain to train...and they found one.
The Sand Siblings were also training hard as they knew that the final test will be harder than the preliminary matches.Seing Ranma go all out was frightening and Gaara wanted to see if Sasuke was worthy enough to become his opponent as Ranma and his brothers.Temari worked hard on her fan and even Taijutsu while Kankuro worked Korasu on several Taijutsu styles since Ranma taught them some Anything Goes stances.Gaara was practicing his Taijutsu without his Sand shield and did his Kata on dummies and wooden polls.Neji trained with TenTen on his Kaiten and Hake while Shikamaru was busy...watching the clouds...
Max State......
Max set up his tent and did the standard warm up of the Anything Goes plus Itachi and Zabuza's starting warm up.That includes 500 push ups and various body stretches.After taking a small breather he took his sword and practiced his sword styles and Chakra control on the wooden polls.Soon it was time for lunch and he went and took out his pan and cook some Sardin fish with fried rice.
#I could do all my stances without any problems,my jutsus are fine but Ranma and Haku knew all my tricks.I need to think of a new technique ...make that two techniques.I know Ranma could come up with a counter to every move his enemy makes.# thought Max as he finished his lunch and washed the dishes by the water tap near by.
Then he look up at the trees and sighed "But what should I do? Genjutsu works well on Ranma....if I can catch him off guard.His speed is almost as fast as Haku.I can't suck his chakra freely because of his battle Aura protecting him but I can cut off his chakra suply to his jutsu...that won't do any difference since he knew my styles as well as I know his."
Max walked in he centre of the field and took out Arainami to make some smoothing katas while he thinks of a way to counter his brother's style...which is almost imposible to counter.That night Max was tossing and turning in his sleep because he couldn't make up a move yet.
The next day he decided to try and tune up his stamina and did double work outs and chakra control excersise then releases his Ki blasts and Taijutsu.He knew that Ranma would target his sword first so he tried to do his unarmed combat training on the Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken to speed up his fist and reaction timing.After three days,Max couldn't take it anymore and he went to the town for some food and to take in the sights of Konoha village while thinking up the way to start his new move.
As he was walking down the street he saw some kids playing a game of tag and he smiled when he remembered his childhood with Haku and Ranma,then he saw the second kid got tagged by the 'IT' and laughed at the kid's face when he got tagged the second he left his hand.Then an idea struck Max's head."That's it !! I finally got it." shouted Max out loud and he made a mad dash back to his camp after buying all the ramen he could carry.
Max started to meditate under a tree as a blue aura flared around him then he opened his eyes and leaped high up a tree to fire off three Kunais to the air.He reared back his cupped hands and let loose with three Ki blast and shouted his new move "Homing Ki Blast!!" the three ball of Ki headed straight towards the Kunais and struck them in the air then they started to turn back to strike him.Max smiled as his move worked,he took out eight Kunais and threw them at the balls and watch in joy as the ki balls evaded the incoming objects and made contact with his body.The balls exploded and he fell down the tree while laughing as his body hurt all over.He found the way to fight with Ranma.
If he could distract Ranma in a place to put his Genjutsu on him then Ranma will surely lose.His Homing Ki balls will keep him busy avoiding the blasts and he could make a seal to trap Ranma.The plan was perfect.That night Max slept peacefully knowing that he had accomplished one of the most challenging task ever.He knew that this trick won't work twice on Ranma so he need to practice everyday to perfect it.
Ranma's State....
After coming out of the Hospital with various bruised ribs and concusions plus a broken left arm,Ranma was lucky that he could use Ki to speed up his healing process and start his training dispite the bickerings of the doctors for him to take it easy.
He went to the mountains Lee had selected and trained with Lee there to increase his speed.He knew that Max's usesage of Genjutsu was better than him,hell Max's Genjutsu was the best amongst the three brothers.He will have to be fast enough to avoid being cast by Max's Jutsus.Then there was that damn chakra stealing sword of his that always anoys the hell out of him.Luckily he knew to counter the sword techniques by using Ki to protect him.The only thing for him to do was to make a new move to counter Haku's speed attacks with those mirrors.Sure the Senbons are low in attack power but knowing Haku,his knowlage on pressure points are as good as Max and himself.Haku knew were to strike and that could bring down anyone...even the Wild Horse himself !
Ranma taught Lee how to summon up his own Ki and to use them as projectiles while Lee taught Ranma about the Heavenly Gates.The thought about seing Haku's face when he destroys his mirrors kept Ranma awake the whole time.
Ranma could open the first and second gate easily with his training on the Human body and his expirience with Ki.The thrid gate was a little bit hard because he needs to control the major out burst of Ki and Chakra in him.So he stopped learning them and started to focus on strenghtening his kI control and mental power to help control his own body.Only then that he would learn the third and fourth Gates.
Ranma smirked at Lee's explaination on the gates "This is gonna be a challenge....and Ranma Saotome never losses to a challenge."
Haku's State......
Haku glanced at the pond infront of him and relaxed as the cool breeze blew through his long and silky hair.He thinks about all the stuff that happened in this new life with his two bothers.Zabuza was alive and he was stronger than ever,he also have his own family and precious persons to protect.This was the best thing that ever happened to him as he breathed in the air around him and stretched out his arms to throw his senbons at the tree leafs falling from the trees.They were strong and true as each of them was perfectly executed.
Haku was a genius in manipulating water molecules to make shapes of Senbons and other things from water.His water jutsu might even be better than Zabuza himself so said the Demon of the Mist.Haku chuckled at seing the face of Ranma when his Karyu Endan turned into water vapors from Haku's Jutsu.Ranma he could handle...the only problem was Max's Genjutsu.
He knew that Max's Genjutsu is best worked when the opponent is in one place.Haku's speed is fast but he mustn't over look the fact that Max's seals are effective against his Demonic Mirrors."I must use other jutsus to fight with him.My Mirrrors won't effect Max-onichan at all since I will be easily detected by his sword and then he could catch me from the mirrors.My illusion won't escape his eyes and I will be defeated.I must do something about that....
Then Haku turned his attention back at the pond infront of him and smiled as he thought of a great plan to counter Max's Genjutsu.Ice elemental Jutsus.Haku could contol water and make them into ice particles to attack Max while he is concentrating on the mirrors.
Haku leaped and stand on the pond while making his handseals to create a giant water dragon.Then he started to do the Soul Of Ice technique Ranma taught him the other day while learning the basics of the Hiryu Shoten Ha and tried to turn the water dragon into an Ice dragon.He failed and the water dragon disappeared in the pond.After a few more tries his chakra went out and he swam back to sore but was stunned when his body touched the water....it was cold.
Soon Haku decided to try on smaller amount of water and tried the technique on his water senbons.They all turned into ice senbons and they were stronger than their water counter part.He made water lances and turn them into Ice Lances and he could even make Ice Bunshins given the right amount of water from his scrolls.
---------------------
Naruto was learning to summon a frog by Jiraya's tutor and manage to summon.....a little tadpole instead. (Blah, blah, blah,skip this part )
---------------------
Baki was informed by Kabuto on Orochimaru's plans and contacted the Hokage about this.The Hokage sends out Anbus and Jounins to guard the gates at the West and South border of the village and thanked the Sand Jounin for this info.
Gaara could be seen sparing with Kankuro's puppet without his Sand Gourd while Temari made lunch for her brothers.Baki told them about the plans and trained with them.
Sasuke was breathing hard at the mountains as he unleashed a Chidori at the boulder infront of him and slumped down at his knees while holding his shoulder.His curse seal wasn't acting up though but he always get this urge that by giving in to the power of the curse seal he will be able to defeat him,the one who murdered his whole family and clan,the who left him alive to be the avenger he is now,the one who will pay for all the sins he did,the one who will taste the warm blood in his hands,the one who....the one who..."AARRGGGHHHHHH!!!!! CHIDORI !!! " Sasuke screamed and he charged at the boulder again.This time he manage to go in a few inches more after passing out......the one who he once loved as his brother...the one who he will face and defeat...the one who will die in his hands as he takes his sweet revenge.That is what Uchiha Sasuke,the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan.The genius of Konoha,the unbeatable number one Genin of his generation and team mate to Uzumaki Naruto the Loudest Ninja in Konoha and Haruno Sakura,the pink haired (And anoying) Kunoichi who is in love with him.
Sasuke woke up with a start when a bucket of cold water was splashed on his battered body.He saw Kakashi there reading his perverted book and a pot of God-Knows-What boiling there.#Hmm...must be dinner.# thought the Uchiha genius as he ate silently.Kakashi joined him after a few pages and talked about controling the Chidori.Tomorrow he must make his technique perfectly if he was to win the Third test.He saw what the others can do and was very disturbed when he heard what Kakashi told him.Naruto had won the match with Kiba (Which was almost unbelievable) and that the other teams from Team Sand and Team Mist were also in the next match.Lee was out while fighting with Ranma and Sasuke was shocked when he saw what was left at the tower Arena by the cameras hidden there.The fight between Genins was forbidden ofcourse but he was able to see know what happened by listening to Kakashi discribing the match.
#There are people stronger than me out there....and here I am in this village doing trainings at the last moment.I should be as strong as them while doing those stupid D rank missions but the only real battle I had was with Haku....and he kicked my ass the last time I remember.# thought Sasuke as he completed his hand seal and charged at the boulder once again.He was trained to increase his speed and stamina plus the usage of his Sharingan in battle.He copied Lee's technique when he fought Yaroi and Kakashi said that in order to defeat his opponent with the Chidori he must be good in also his Taijutsu and speed.A new fire within Sasuke burned when he knew that his first opponent was Gaara of the Sand,the one who never recieved any damage while returning from his missions.
"Kuchiyose No Jutsu !!" screamed a certain blonde Shinobi as he slammed his blood stained palm on the ground while a puff of ninja smoke was created only to reveal.....another tadpole.
Screams of 'You Are Useless !!' and 'Shut Up Perverted Senin !' could be heard across the vally.
---------------------
Two weeks had passed and Ranma completed his training and started opening the third gate flawlessly without any difficulty and Lee was leaping with joy because he had fired his first Ki blast.
"Oh my God !! Now I have my own projectiles in Battle !!" cried Lee while he fires another Ki blast at a boulder which exploded when the ball of Ki made contact.
Ranma smiled at Lee and released his own ki blast,which was twenty times bigger since he was still in his third gate state.Lee's eyes were wide eyed as he felt the heat from the Ki blast and the whole mountain glowed that night as Ranma continued his Ki blasts in his third Gate state.
"Haku's gonna have a hard time keeping his mirrors intact when I gave him my dosage of Ki balls." said Ranma and he celebrated his accomplishment with Lee.
Mean while Max was grining evily when he let loose with twenty Ki balls and let them fly around him like giant fire flies."Ranma...you won't out run me this time."
Haku made a handseal and his Ice Dragon leveled the land on the sore. "Max-onichan is going to be surprised when he sees this new trick I made."
Meanwhile....
"Sabaku Kikanjuu!! (Dessert Machine Gun)" shouted Gaara as his Sand Shield spreaded sand bullets acroos the field between Kankuro and himself.The Sand bullets pierced the rocks and trees that was there a few minutes ago.Gaara's new jutsu was completed and no one could escape the firing of his deadly projectile.#My sister's wind won't be able to blow away THESE babies....# smirked Gaara as Sand flowed back into his Gourd on his back.
"Kaze Kyanon no Jutsu (Wind Canon) !!" screamed Temari as a horizonal pillar of wind headed towards the huge boulder infront of her.The focused wind pressure went through the boulder and made a hole through the middle.It was twenty inches thick and the wind was still going strong and destroyed the trees behind it,leaving a trail of destruction.# I love to see Gaara's face when his Sand Shield was torn away.# thought Temari as she folded her fan back on her back.
Kankuro could command Korasu to do multiple attacks and made chestnut speed strikes with the gadgets in it,he still couldn't pierce through Gaara's Sand Shield though.#This will make them busy while I attack from behind.# thought Kankuro as Korasu walked beside him.
Neji performed his Kaiten and TenTen's weapons bounced off him like ping pong balls.#Ranma Saotome.....I will have the satisfaction of defeating you with my attack after I take care of that anoying Uzumaki Naruto.#
Shikamaru was still gazing at the clouds above....
"CHIDORI !!!" cried Sasuke as he added another hole to the boulder infront of him.He spent the next few days sparring with Kakashi and increasing his stamina and speed while activating his Sharingan.#I'll kill you Itachi.#
That Night Gaara was gazing at the bright moon on a roof but he was interupted by Dosu challenging him.
"So you're here all along.I was busy finding you and I wanted to kill you while you're asleep but I seems that you never sleeps at all...I'll kill you now then." then Dosu prepared to attack Gaara but then he noticed that he couldn't move at all.Then he felt this sinking feeling in him again as he look down at his feet.He was stunned to find them covered in sand.The next thing he knew was the blood running down his arms as the sand bullets pierced his chest.
----------------------
Today was a day that Naruto would remember because this day was the day that he summoned Gamabunta,the Boss Toad all by his own...well..technically speaking.He summoned the Toad with the help of the Kyubi's chakra while falling down from the cliff Jiraiya pushed him.
Naruto woke up with a start as he stood up from the bed he was given in the Hospital ward.The found Shikamaru there smirking at him and went to make fun of Choji while they're at it.Naruto told them about the things he did with Jiraiya but he didn't tell them his secret technique....the Summoning Of The Boss Toad.
----------------------
The last week.....
Team Mist and Team Sand met together at the Ichiraku with Naruto,Shikamaru and surprisingly Ino and Sakura.They talked about the training they had and joked about the times they had together.
"Haku,you are so gonna lose when I face you in my match." boasted Ranma as he took another slurp of his Ramen.The Leaf Genins were shocked at the amount of Ramen Ranma ate...and here they thought Naruto was a Ramen eating freak.
"You better clear that thought brother coz yuo are going down at my blade." smirked Max.
"Max-onichan,I think I can defeat your Genjutsu with my new Jutsu too." said Haku.
"Well,looks like we all have a new skill these days." said Kankuro as he ate his miso Ramen.
Temari shot a look at Max and blushed at the wink he gave her.They left afterwards headed to the Hokage Monument.
"So...are they an item?" asked Naruto.
"Of course they are, how blind can you get." grumbled Shikamaru as he tried to cover his ears from Sakura and Ino's girl talk about how they wished that Sasuke would be like that with them.Kankuro and Gaara sighed as they finished their meal and chatted with the rest of the Genins.
"Damn...if I win the match with that girl I would be a target for her boyfriend then.How troublesome,I should quit." sighed Shikamaru .
"Well...you wouldn't be if you actually trained during the three weeks !" shouted Ino at his ears.
"Shut up woman!!"
Naruto asked Ranma about his Hiryu Shoten Ha and his super fast punches he made.
"Well...it's kinda hard.You'll need pure determination and hard work to learn that.Lee did it under a week though."replied Ranma.
"I can do it too but I can't keep it up as long as Ranma-kun." said Gaara.(Yes..he is OOC coz ...coz...he met Max and yadda yadda..it's my fic...yadda yadda read the first few chaps)
"What? Thick brows did that under a week? I'll do it under five days then....no make it three days." shouted Naruto.
"Hmm....what will you trade it in return." said Ranma.Gaara and Kankuro look at Ranma in a strange way,#what is Ranma talking about?# the two brothers thought.Ranma wasn't like this but he wanted to learn more techniques from everyone in order to win this match....he saw the trick Naruto did with his Kage Bunshins and also came up with his own version with his own Bunshins.
"Um....howabout my Kage Bunshin jutsu?"
"Nope.Learned that."
"Um...I know my Sexy No Jutsu."
"What is that?"
"It is a Jutsu that even the Legendary Senin and Hokage couldn't resist.Watch..Sexy No Jutsu !" as a puff Ninja smoke covered his body....revealing...
#Hmm...must be a powerful technique then.# was the thought that went through every Genins mind.
Revealing....a cute naked blonde with two pony tails.
Gaara grunted and looked away.Kankuro nearly fainted while Shikamaru tried to control his nose from over flowing with his blood.Ino and Sakura fainted straight away while Ranma looked wide eyed at this....this..jutsu.
"How's that?" said Naruto in female form seductively.
"This is the jutsu that even the Hokage feared? You gotta be kiddin me." said Ranma as he turned around.
"Stop this before I change my mind and kill you." said Gaara while hidding his blush under his Armor of Sand.
Naruto cancled his jutsu and recieved his beatings from the two girls who had awoken.
#My cursed form is sexier...hmm...I think I can do something to get back at Max for his damn Genjutsu.# thought Ranma as he started to walk away.Gaara dragged Kankuro and followed Ranma away while Shikamaru walked wobbly back to his favourite spot to watch the clouds.
------------------------
Temari and Max was walking hand in hand at the town area talking about things they did and their plans for the Match.
"Well...I have this jutsu that could even pierce a twenty inch thick boulder..."
"WOW.That must be a powerful one."
"Yeah...but I think you and Ranma could do better." said Temari.She was right though,with a single finger...Max and Ranma could break through any rock or boulder.
"I developed my Ki to home on to any target I set it." said Max.
"That's like a Chakra controled Kunai right? TenTen used that on me but it was useless."
"Yeah,but I only controled it to seek out the Ki signiture I wanted.Everyone has a unique Ki sign and my blast will attack it no matter where he dodge.Your winds can't blow ki away though."
"Well..looks like I don't have to worry about beating you then." smiled Temari at Max who blushed at the tease.
Suddenly a red haired girl appeared around the corner and hugged Max tightly.
"Max-sama !! I have search high and low for you,shall we continue were we left off?" asked the red headed beauty.
"What the? Who are you?" shouted Temari.
"Let go...hey. Teamri-chan ,this isn't what it looks like." explained Max while trying to get the girl away from his arm.Strangely the girl's grip was TIGHT.
"You'd better explain this or else !!" shouted Temari as tears were starting to form in her eye.This couldn't be happening again...all those other dates ...all those excuses...no not again.
"Alright Ranko...or should I say RANMA !!! Stop it or you'll get it." shouted Max as he lifted the red head and throw her on the floor.
Puff and there stood a grining Ranma.
"YOU !! Where are my brothers?" demanded Temari.
"Um...look at the time...gotta go." then Ranma vanished in smoke.#Gotta love this trick.#
"When I see him tonight he's gonna wish he had the curse." grumbled Max.
"What did you mean?" asked Temari as she went red from embarrassment.
"Huh? Oh nothing...sorry about that Temari-chan.Ranma wasn't like that normally." apologized Max .
"N..no.It's me..I should apologize for jumping on to conclusion."
"Well..um..why don't we have a drink? My treat." offered Max and Temari nodded.The two lovers went to the near by stall for a drink.
Ranma and Kankuro was laughing their heads out from the scene before and Gaara was holding in his laughter but soon gave in when Ranma made his jutsu again with Korasu as Max.
Next day....
Max went to the Konoha Library to look up on some way to increase his own Ki.Althoough he was good in it but he still feels that he was missing something.He look up on the various sections and found a book about pressure points and shrugged as it wasn't what he was looking for.He put the book back and spotted a worn out scroll hidden between the pressure point book and a Katon scroll.
#Hmm...what's this?Let's see..# thought Max as he carefully took out the scroll and open it.The scroll shows a diagram of a naked man and some arrows with signs on it.The wordings on it was the strengh release points.
"Wow...never thought that I could find this here." said Max as he reads the title of the scroll which says that by hitting these four points by the colar bone and the upper shoulder,one could generate a huge amount of stamina and energy which can be converted to Chakra.The other part was an attack combo for this move called The Strike Of The Thunder God.
"This is interesting..." then Max continued to study the move as he read all the warnings and tags available.Then he tried the move on himself and felt a great increase in Ki from his body,it was like his body was about to be exploded by a single movement...but strangely it wasn't chakra at all.
#Maybe they discovered Ki but didn't know how to use it.# thought Max then he let the huge ki subside as he let his body absorbs the Ki.
The technique...The Strike Of The Thunder God or The Strike Of Thor was strangely a Ki attack instead.The user is to gather the strange energy that escapes from the body on the hands and strike three special places on the enemy.The 'Heaven' point,the 'Human' point and the 'Earth' point.In other words,the Heaven point is the forehead,the Human points is the throat and the Earth point is the middle chest part where the ribs met.By striking these three points with the strange energy gathered in ones hands,the enemy will endure a horrible death as if he was striked by actual Lightning.However,the user must train to be able to fully control this strange energy.This technique could be useful to Taijutsu users but it was less used because of the trainings and one would rather use the Lightning Jutsu than this.Thus this technique was used to help medic nins to heal their patients from healing since it was similar to Chakra and the patient would heal faster without the input of Chakra.
Max saw the tag on the last part and found out that there was another scroll similar to this.He found the scroll and read it too.This is a great asset for Martial Artists that uses Ki like Ranma or Max.
The next scroll also shows the picture of a naked man with signs on various parts.
#Hey...this looks familier...# thought Max as he read on.Strangely enough he was staring wide eyed at the description on the technique.It was also a pressure point skill,the user gathers the strange energy in the tips of the index finger ,thumbs and the middle finger and strike three areas under the left nipple of the enemy(Covering the heart).This will release ALL the energy and stamina of the opponent and disorientate him.He will feel weak for a moment and lower his guard as all energy surge through his body like electricity.This is a chance to kill him off with a kunai of a complex jutsu.
The name of the technique is The Strike Of Venus.
#Hmm..wonder why? Anyway..better memorise this as it could be useful in fights with Ranma.Heheheh I'd love to see his face when my Ki increased.# thought Max as he copied the techniques and went to his camp near the training field.
"My homing Ki blasts will be even more powerful with these." said Max as he went to sleep.
---------------------
The time of the third Chunin Exam finally came and the whole hall was filled with spectators from all over the continent and countries.Land Lords and other Ambassadors arrived to see the match between the last Uchiha and Gaara of the Sand.
"Wow..this is different with the Prelimanary." stated Ranma as he stood infront of all the people watching him.
Yenma(The one with the toothpick but I noticed that he was called Genma in some fics.His name is Yenma in my country though)told them to look proud because they were the stars of the show.
The Kazekage sat beside Hokage-sama and they chatted a little until Hayate arrived (He wasn't killed by Baki here) with a piece of papper.
"Okay...cough...this is the match you guys ....cough..are gonna have..cough.."
"Huh? But what about that Sound guy?" asked Shikamaru.Hayate shrugged and anounced the start of the first match.
Uzumaki Naruto VS Hyuuga Neji.....
(Blah,blah,blah ....press forward)
Naruto surprised everyone with his performance as he released Kyubi's chakra and have complete control over it.He was knocked over by the Kaiten from Neji but gave Neji an Upper Cut to the chin from the ground.He dug a whole after he fell.
The Winner....Uzumaki Naruto.
Next Match....Gaara VS Uchiha Sasuke.
Like in the manga Sasuke was late and the match was held back .
Kankuro VS Haku.
"Sorry Kankuro-kun.I will have to end this quickly." said Haku.#I think Max-onichan will win even though Ranma-onichan is the better fighter since he always win with Genjutsu...luckily I have a counter for that.# thought Haku.
"Ahh...vary well..." said Kankuro as he unwrapped his doll.
"Start." said Yenma and the two Shinobis charged at each other...well...it's just Haku against Korasu and Kankuro jumping away from Haku as far as possible.
Haku evaded the hand strike from the puppet's hands as a knife appeared under the wrists filled with poison.
Haku leaped high and threw eight senbons at Korasu and sis five bunshins to attack Kankuro.
Korasu dodged the senbons and shot two arms to defend Kankuro from the bunshin's senbons.
"It seems that you could control it with much ease." stated Haku as he dodged the poison needles from Korasu's mouth and threw another senbon at the puppeteer who stopped the senbon with his chakra that surrounds him.
"Heh,this is my defense.Although not perfect,it could block any weapons from my enemies by my chakra." said Kankuro,then he aimed the senbon at the retreating form of Haku.
"Wow ! Nice." said Max as he sees Haku trying to dodge the senbon.It was ironic that Haku was dodging a senbon thrown by himself.Then Haku teleported on the wall and stuck there with his chakra.He took out a medium sized scroll and unsealed the waters inside.The senbon was not fast enough and Haku's Water Shark jutsu completely knocked Korasu and Kankuro out cold (Pardon the pun)
Winner....Haku.
Next Match Temari VS Nara Shikamaru
Haku was congratulated when he got up to the balcony.
"I didn't think you would do that jutsu this early on Haku." said Max.
"Well...I wanted to end it quickly." replied Haku.Then Shikamaru grumbled that it was gonna be his turn then.Temari smirked at him and flew down the arena with her fan.Shikamaru was pushed down by Naruto and Ranma.
"Match Start" yelled Yenma.
Temari took out her fan and blasted the lazy ninja away with a mighty Kamaitachi Jutsu.
Although I wold like to continue on but you guys probably wants some real action so.....I'll end it like the manga as Temari Won.She didn't do her new attack though.While hidden behind her fan,her shadow was caught.But Shikamaru surrendered because he said he don't have enough Chakra left in him.
Winner...Temari.
Next Match....Max Knight VS Saotome Ranma.
Ookima sensei was sitting beside Baki "This should be interesting." said Baki.
"Indeed" replied Ookima.
Back in the balcony....
"I don't feel good that I won." said Temari.
Max went over to pat her on the shoulder "It's the feeling of guilt I think.Well it's my match against the Wild Horse then..." Max was unable to finish as Temari surprised him with a kiss on the cheek."Becareful." He smiled and jumped down to the waiting Ranma at the Arena.
"Ready to lose to your younger brother Max?" asked Ranma as he bowed to Max.
Max return the bow and entered his favourite stance with his Arainami by the side "I think I should teach you the meaning of the word respect some more." and the two grinned at each otehr.
"Start"
"I know all your tricks Max! I'm not gonna let you catch me." shouted Ranma as he ran circles around Max with high speed.
#Holy shit....his speed is begining to be as fast as Haku.Gotta do this fast.# thought Max as he jumped high in the air while making a familiar Jutsu with the help of the chakra from the sword "Katon: Gokakyuu no Jutsu !!" and blew the flames in the center of the circle.
Ranma stopped his circle and fire a Ki blast at Max in the air who used Arainami to block the attack.Max was shocked to find the force behind the ki blast was harder than before.#Damn,trust Ranma to be able to grow that strong in a month.#
"Mouko Takabisha !!" shouted the pig tailed Ninja as he unleased a big blue ki blast at the falling Max.The audience was stunned at the attack since they never saw anything like this before.
"What the hell is that thing?" said Gai.
Hokage was also shocked to see a ki blast.#This IS interesting....Hidden Mist...is as strong as Sand....# then he turn to look at the Kazekage beside him and smiled.#Luckily we are allies.#
Max was hit by the Ki blast and Arainami was knocked out of his hands.He landed roughly and dodged a series of kicks and punches aimed for him.
"I hate to do this but I have came up a plan to defeat Haku and I wanted to try it on him fast.I need to end this quick so why don't you surrender?" said Ranma.#Gotta strike fast or he'll do those anying Genjutsu on me again.#
Max was trying his best not to scream out because the punches he was recieving was painful.#Damn...so fast....# Max ignored to kick to his shoulder and gave out a ki blast at point break range at Ranma.
Ranma took the hit head on and was shocked to find that it actually hurt.He leaped away from his brotehr and smirked at him "Yuo seem to have a powerful blast there,I didn't think that you could have a killing intent for me."
Max grinned back "It's not purely my killing intent inside that...I inserted a larger amount of PURE ki inside.As you see...Pure ki eats less ki reserves than emotional charged Ki and it's more powerful.I still can't do a 100% pure ki attack though.That was 70% pure ki."
"Hmm...I see,but it's still weak compared to my Ki blast.Take this...Mouko Takabisha !!!" Ranma screamed and he cuped his fist together to create a giant blue sphere of confidence ki and aim it at Max.
"Uh-oh...this is bad.Sesshou Hougeki !!" shouted Max and he released a purple Ki a size of a basketball to counter the giant blue ki headed his way.The two ki blasts collided in the middle and forced each other,trying to out power the other.
The two brotehrs were struggling to take control of the ki blasts for it would be a huge disadvantage if it was to hit any of them.
"Hah,you think that small ki blast is gonna win?" taunted Ranma as he inputed more pressure in his blast.
Max was too focused on his attack and didn't reply his brother.
The audience were shocked(I think I used this word too much) to say anything.They could feel the power radiating from the attacks plus the strange feeling of confidense and killing intent in the two brother's attack.
"What are these attacks? I never knew the mist could produce such powerful Shinobis." exclaimed Yenma and sillently thanked the Kami that Konoha was allied with them along with the Sand.If Genins were this powerful,think of all the Chunins and Jounins there,he shuddered at the raw power that was shown by the two Shinobis.
Gaara was shaking with excitement when he felt the Killing intent in Max's attack.#I think my blast will be stronger than Max.# Temari was sweating bullets and worried about Max while Naruto was rooting on the two Shinobis " GO GO Max !! GO GO Ranma !! "
Shikamaru grumbled beside him "Quiet idiot."
Haku was thinking about his next fight #If Max-onisan wins then I could show him my new technique,but if Ranma would win....I'm not sure about fighting him since his speed and strengh had increased.#
Lee was also rooting on the two fighters but mostly on Ranma.
Finally Ranma smirked at his brother "Give up now brother."
Max grinned dispite the numbing feeling he was getting in his arms for holding out this long "No way man."
Ranma shrugged and opened his first gate.His Ki increased and the blue Ki ball ate the smaller counter part and headed straight towards a stunned Max who braced for the impact.
#BOOOM#
Ranma smirked and radied himself for a surprise attack by his brother.Although he got a hit on Max,Ranma knew that it would need something more to take him down.
#Ranma....you could open the first gate?# Ookima was surprised as well.
A figure appeared from the crater created by the enormus ki blast.It was Max...a slightly charred Max though."Damn that hurts,but I should expect something like this." then he gathered ki on the tips of his finger and grinned at Ranma."This is what I learned the past few days,something that could help me against a genius of Ki.Heavenly Gift !" then Max striked the two spots on his neck and shoulder.Ranma was puzzled by this but braced himself for a powerful attack.
Suddenly Max's ki tripled and Ranma was shocked beyond anything.#Since when his Ki is bigger than mine? No matter since I could open all four of my gates...though the fourth is still hard to control.#
Max grinned at Ranma as his brother shouted the opening of the Second gate.Max dashed for his sword and slashed at Ranma who took out his staff just in time to avoid being riped appart by the scales on Arainami.
The two performed their signiture techniques and their speed was getting faster and faster.
"Takedakeshii Ryu :Chanbara no Kenbu !"
"Takedakeshii Ryu :Ousatsu Sa Ti Mu !"
"Hisaki No Heijin (Sword Blade Of Falmes)" the scales on Arainami burst into flames and burned Ranma's shirt but then Ranma counterd it with another technique.
"Nami Zenshin (Wave Drive)" Ranma's staff bacame longer and strucked Max in the chest sending him a few feet away.He then took out a medium seal to release the water in it.Max landed skillfuly and took out his own seal....this is gonna be a Jutsu battle.
Ranma finished his jutsu first and shouted "Suiton : Suigeki no Jutsu !" a giant War Hammer appeared above him and headed straight towards Max who also finished his own jutsu.
"Suiton : Baizou Ryu No Jutsu !" and released a twin headed water dragon that slammed through the water Hammer.The two jutsus canceled each other out.
Ranma wanted to take out a bigger seal but Max suddenly fired a ball of Ki towards him.
"Heh,such a waste brother." then he dodged the ball of ki...but he was shocked to find it making a turn and continued to follow him around.
"What the hell is this?" shouted Ranma as he gave off a Ki blast to counter it.Strangely it never connected since Max's blast evaded the incoming projectile and headed to him again.Ranma was forced to keep his scroll back in his poket and dodge the ki ball.Then he sensed another one coming at him again from above and he dodged it while giving off another ki blast.Still the two ki blasts twisted and turned to get at him.
"Argghh this is anoying."
"Homing Ki Blast."said Max and he released three more blast into the fray.Then he took out eight Kunais with strange notes on them and threw them on the ground surrounding Ranma for about twenty feet.He made a handseal and inserted all his chakra in the field to make an invisible barrier containing Ranma in it.
"The hell?" screamed Ranma as the five Ki blasts tried to knock him out.
"Don't get out of the field barrier Ranma or you'll get blasted by the explosion note attached to them." said Max as he gave off two more Ki blast at Ranma.
"The Hell with it,Third Gate : Life Gate open!! Ki limiters 1/2 off!!" shouted Ranma and he stood there waiting for the seven ki blasts to strike him.
Max was stunned to see this and knew that with all the ki surounding Ranma and the Life gate giving him extra protection,his normal blasts won't be able to take him down.
"Chou Sesshou Hougeki !" shouted Max and gave it all his Ki in the blast and sends it soaring towards a burned Ranma.
"Limiters Full Power !" shouted Ranma and he let the Ki gather at his arms and made a cross to block the incoming ki ball.Then suddenly it turned around to slam his back from behind in a blink of an eye.
"AARRRGGHH !!" Ranma wasn't prepared for this and the Ki blast hit him head on....um..back on.
Max was panting heavily at his last attack as the effect of the pressure points wore off.
The place surrounding Ranma was filled with dust and smoke.Yenma was about to declare Max the winner but then all the smoke was pushed aside and a red figure dashed out of the barrier headed towards Max.It was Ranma with his fourth gate open.
The barrier flicked and all the explosion tags circled around Ranma and a huge explosion took place but Ranma was unfazed as a layer of Ki was protecting him.
Max took out Arainami and gave a Karyuu Endan at Ranma but he shrugged it off and sent a punch at him.Luckily it was blocked by the broad blade of Arainami.Ranma's fists were bloody from the scales on Arainami but he continued to attack Max.After a few seconds Max gave out a shout that he gave up the match.
Winner .....Saotome Ranma.
Max and Ranma was given treatment immediately after that.
"I never thought that you could lose Max-onichan." said Haku beside Max.
Ranma pouted "Hey,I never lost in a fight."
Haku giggle and said that it was a joke.Teamri glared at Ranma for bruising her boyfriend but gave her attention to Max.
"Heheh,yeah..I couldn't beat Ranma even with a new technique.He surprised me with the fourth gate.Good job." said Max.
Ranma scratched his head and laughed "Well,it was my triump card.I could hold it for only one minute though."
"Well,you defeated me...and I'm proud of it.Although you did hurt my pride as an older brother." replied Max.
"Ah...Gaara-kun here had the smae problem.He is more powerful than both his siblings." said Haku.
Naruto and Lee came to greet the teams."Hey that was soo cool !! Can you teach me how to do those techniques?"
Lee made a pose "Alas,the mighty Wild Horse have won the battle.I feel great for you Ranma-san.I will defeat you one day."
"Right,but let's check out the next match." said Ranma.Everybody nodded as the next match was the match between....
Next match.....Gaara VS Uchiha Sasuke.
Everybody was anxious about the next match since it was between the Sand's most powerful Genin against the last survivor of the Uchiha clan.Suddenly a huge pile of swirling leafs appeared in the middle of th earena and two dark figures came from it.
Yenma asked "State your name."
"Uchiha...Sasuke." said Sasuke flatly.Kakashi greeted his own team and joined the them on the balcony.
Gaara walked down slowly at the hall way and met two man asking him to lose on purpose.Gaara swated and knocked them out.
Sasuke glared at Gaara after Naruto said his "I also want to fight you" speech.
Yenma yelled "Begin!"
TBC...
