The Dragon Has Landed : Is this the end ?
To my readers : I've come to mind that I will end this fic. I passed on this fic to a fellow fic writer I met and she'll be the one who will continue it. Her name on is Ilovesasukekun and will forever continue this fic. I'll be focusing on my others and I hope she does a good job like I did. Some info on my friend here, she has wrote over 5 Naruto fics, love, angst and action though three of them are Yaoi. However those are some good ones. Um...oh and as you all know she likes Sasuke a lot so be sure to see Sasuke in the near future up and kicking ass along with Naruto. She made a nice story filler up about why Ranma don't like girls...she'll make him and Haku a pair so those who asks for Ranma and Haku's pairing...you'll get one...they like each other right ? And since Haku looks like a girl, she said that she'd make them a cute couple, just like in her fics.
Here's her little intro that I received from her e-mail :
Hi Mina-saaannn you can call me Ino-chan since I like purple too and Sasuke is SOOOO Cute when he's in chibi mode. I'll do my best to help the Mist brothers along with their relationship. Macks will find that he actually likes Haku but Ranma won't have any of it and the three brothers will fight each other for their affection...a love triangle . I love Haku/Zabuza fics and while doing my own fics, I'll add some brotherly love here.
End of E-mail...
Anyway hope you guys give her your full support on this one okay ? Yeah some of you may not like Yaoi fics but hey, her fics are somewhat okay to read. This is my final chapter to you guys out there and I will be working on my Unexpected Events and my other fics. Enjoy !

Alright my duckies...( Sorry, been watching too many Teen Titans lately ) Here's the last ride to the Dragon Has Landed..Enjoy.
Previously on The Dragon Has Landed :
" ALRIGHT ! This shall be the fifth and final battle for today. Make the guys up there proud of yourselves and be the winner. Earn the right to win the Chuunin Title and become one of us, is that not what you came here for ?"
Naruto and his team stared at Kosame who suddenly said his speech and said together " Um...you're weird."
Kosame face faulted and stood up straight quickly " Fine, Ladies and Gentlemen. All the way from the Hidden Village of the Leaf, The final battle for today...Team Seven of the Leaf. Please welcome Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Raku Shinosuke ! "
After a deep breath Kosame made the declaring of the start of the Final Match that day " SSSTAAAAAARRTT ! "
Naruto smirked and did his signature move, the Jounin Level Jutsu " Kage Bunshin no Jutsu ! ", clones by the tens appeared and surrounded his teammates each drawing their own respective Kunais and dashed at Sakura and Shinosuke.
The two Shinobis made their own handseals as Shinosuke disappeared underground and Sakura slammed the floor with a force that rivals the Baksaitenketsu, spreading debris and rocks at the incoming attackers.
As Naruto focused on Sakura, he felt two hands under him and was pulled down the ground. However he was quick enough to call out two Kage Bunshins and pulled him back up. The two bunshins were destroyed instantly with the quick strikes from Shinosuke's Kunai.
Naruto glared at Shinosuke and made a punch towards him, the punch was deflected easily and Shinosuke struck him in the center of his chest, suddenly Naruto puffed into smoke and a log replaced the original Naruto. Shinosuke chided himself but then the smoke from the log alerted him and he leaped away as the log exploded from the explosive tag trap.
Sakura smiled at Shinosuke's failed attack, she knew from pass experience that Naruto has developed that random behavior since the first time they were a team. She made her jutsu and her eyes started to glow. It was a jutsu Tsunande taught her to detect concealed enemies in a Kage Bunshin, Sui Bunshin or Suna Bunshin...however this required time to focus the chakra into one's eyes and the concentration was intense, just the perfect jutsu for Sakura.
Naruto came out behind Shinosuke and made a hook punch to his cheek, it connected and Shinosuke was sent bodily away. Naruto felt a chill up his spine and nearly jumped out of his skin as he saw many shards of rocks heading his way...oh and they were rather sharp.
Without wasting his rhythm, Shinosuke took out a packet and tore it...revealing a bundle of dried Ramen noodles. Then he took out a scroll and unsealed it to reveal a huge bowl and some hot water...well I assumed they're hot because they were boiling.
Back at the stands...
Max and Ranma was choking as they saw what Shinosuke summoned...this was getting weirder and weirder...( Hurray for weirdness ! )
Shinosuke threw his dry noodles into the water and it started to dissolve. Then he added some power and what seems like herbs into the concussion and smiled at the nice aroma. Sakura was battling with Naruto's clones and suddenly the clones stopped attacking and had a strange smiled on their face. They dashed towards Shinosuke and ignored the shocked Sakura " Hey, I'm over here ! Baka, what the heck are you doing ? "
It was futile...useless...the blonde shinobi was trapped in the smell of his favorite food on Earth...Ramen...a LARGE BOWL of Ramen.
Naruto was in heaven...he disabled his clones and showed himself as he started to take out a pair of chopsticks out of nowhere and licked his lips of drool while shouting out " ITTATAKIMASU ! "
Shinosuke smirked as his plan worked # Naruto, I don't know if I'm lucky or if this was a trick because no one in his right mind would fall for this...# then seeing Naruto's hunger ridden face he sweat dropped # Maybe I'm just lucky...# he took out his chopsticks ( Which was actually senbons ) and attacked.
As the blonde Shinobi stopped in front of what he believe as the food reserved for the Gods above, he felt a movement in the air current behind him.
# What ? Someone is trying to stop me from eating the Gigantic Ramen ! He shall pay !#, he ducked at the last minute and did a sweep kick, which surprised the hell out of Shinosuke. Luckily he did a back flip handstand and avoided the dirt ground. He stood there and stared at Naruto " So you did tricked me."
Naruto tilted his head " Huh ? Whaddaya mean ? I'm pissed because you delayed me from eating this. Ramen should be eaten in the first five minutes if you want to preserve its original taste without the water corrupting its noodles. "
Then he made a pose " I shall defeat you in that time frame. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu ! " Forty Naruto's appeared and everyone made a ready stance " Alright man, do your thing ! "
Shinosuke looked worried, this isn't going to his plan. He took out his senbons and braced for the attack...the attack, which didn't come.
" HEY ! I SAID ATTACK HIM, NO YOU STOP EATING ! YOU'RE NOT EVEN REAL ! HEY YOU THERE, I KNOW YOU'RE SNEAKING THAT FISH BALL AWAY...ARRGGHHH TAKE YOUR HANDS OUT OF THAT BOWL ! "
Everyone sweat dropped at the scene. The summoner of the Kage Bunshins, scolding his OWN creations for not obeying a simple attack command...instead they started eating that large bowl of ramen. Finally Naruto dispelled his clones and glared at the bowl...soon his glare turned into a smile " Yes...it's just you and me...you and me...bwahahhaha " he took out another pair of chopsticks and started to dig in. Unfortunately for Naruto, Sakura wouldn't have any of that ignore the girl, fight-the-other-guy-and-THEN-fight-the-girl thing. Can't boys learn from their lessons?
" Ramen ! NOO ! "
Guess not.
" Naruto, I'm your opponent, fight me or you're not gonna eat any Ramen after I'm through with you. " said Sakura.
The blonde suddenly had fire in his eyes as he stated dramatically " Thou Shall Pay for this insolence...have at thee! Taiyuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu ! "
Ranma turned to Max " Gee, you'd think that he's related to Kuno or something."
Naruto had this zoned out look in his eyes as he stared at Sakura and Shinosuke...suddenly he vision them as carrots and beef pieces...Don't ask which is which, figure that out by yourself.
He dashed at them with surprising speed that nearly matched Lee with his weights on and clutched the clothes of the surprised Shinosuke.
" I'm gonna eat that Ramen if it's the last thing I do !" the blonde screamed and went near the bowl of Ramen. Sakura threw a kick behind his head trying to catch him off guard but he surprised her by ducking and took hold of her leg despite her enhanced strength behind the kick and did an over shoulder throw...right at Shinosuke.
Without delay the blonde ramen lover dashed back to his bowl...only to be intercepted by traps...dozens of Kunais, senbons, explosion wards, nets, Shurikens and various weapons where thrown at him from many directions. It made TenTen's Double Dragon Weapons Barrage looks like a simple breeze on summer.
But all was not enough to keep Naruto away from his goal. Heck if you gave him the option of Hokage and Ramen he would say " Huh ? Ho-what ? Get away, and stop bothering me. "
After 20 seconds...which is all it took for Naruto to dodge all the traps made by Sakura and Shinosuke's Earth jutsus. People were starting to think that Naruto was holding back a lot of his skills in the Prelims.
Shinosuke sweat dropped as Naruto shrugged all his Earth Spikes just like that and his mouth went hanging as he saw Naruto took out another pair of Chopsticks.
" Where the hell is he keeping all those chopsticks? " asked Sakura.
" Hmm...don't know, but he's not gonna get his Ramen I'm afraid." that said and Shinosuke appeared behind the bowl just as Naruto's chopsticks where about to get it's first feel of the gigantic Ramen noodles.
Shinosuke leaped and use his hands and the giant silver Senbon he used as Chopsticks to flick away Naruto's chopstick. The two shinobis had a lock on and started to tackle each other...with their Chopsticks. Yup, typical Saotome Style.
After 20 seconds Shinosuke's metal Chopstick won and destroyed Naruto's own chopsticks. He did a victory dance and made his attack " Naruto Shuriken no Jutsu ! " as the Fish Cakes came flying towards Naruto.
( Note : Naruto is actually those cute fish cakes in the ramen, so think of them as Shurikens coz they're round and wavy at the edges. )
It was so sudden and random that even Kakashi would have trouble knowing what kind of attack it was without the help of his Sharingan.
And Naruto did what he is most famous for...he opened his mouth and ate them...he ate them ALL.
Shinosuke had tears in his eyes as he saw his technique being EATEN. He glared at Naruto and made another gesture with his chopsticks and the Ramen from the Bowl started moving and they came out attacking Naruto like snakes chasing its prey.
Naruto's eyes widened and were basked in Ramen as they tied him from head to toe suffocating him.
" Give up now Naruto if you wanna survive that ! " said Shinosuke.
Back at the stands ...
Ranma slapped his hands on his forehead and let it slip down slowly as he grumbled something about girls, samurai wannabes and bathtubs...oh and cats and water...hot and cold, and un-cute tomboys and Ramen competition.
Max was laughing all the way but was silenced by a backhand fist from his brother. Haku shrugged, they were like that all the time and it wasn't weird...the weird thing is the Chuunin Exam this year was supposed to be filled with blood and injuries...It seems that the techniques the Genins used was either non lethal or self created, who ever heard of dying via Ramen ?
( Author has his hands up in the air )
Anyway back to the battle...
Hmm...on the right we have Shinosuke and Naruto struggling for breath...and um...hey where's out pink haired Kunoichi ? Oh there she is, sneaking behind Shinosuke...poor dude. Huh ? What the heck is that ?
Suddenly the ground under Sakura started to crumble and out came tendrils and spikes, luckily she was able to escape with her trainings with Kakashi and Tsunande. Even though she was under Kakashi's tutor, she still goes to Tsunande for her trainings when the Hokage is free. Just like Naruto, she was training under one of the Three Sannins.
Shinosuke smirked " Sakura-san, there's no way you can come near me because traps are planted around me. After I defeated Naruto, then I'll come after you." then he tightened his grip on Naruto making the blonde gasped for air.
After some seconds of struggling, the blonde Shinobi finally went rigid and started to spasm...then he went limp as he used the noodles as support for his weakened body. Everybody sighed and thought that Naruto fainted from the lack of oxygen.
Shinosuke sighed too " Too bad Naruto, you lost to my family technique...the Struggling Ramen. If only you...Huh ? " everyone's head snapped back to view as Naruto let out a loud and muffed " RRRAAAARRRR ! ".
What happened next was unexpected to everyone except Ranma and maybe Max, because Naruto did what Ranma did all those years ago when he was fighting against Shampoo in the Ramen Delivery Competition...he started to eat the noodles.
They stared and stared and stared, the Kages, the Jounins, the Chuunins, the Genins, the crowds...heck even the Anbus where watching. They stopped what they were doing a minute ago and watched on as Naruto slowly...okay, quickly eat through the Ramen that was holding him.
Seconds passed and then minutes...yup, they were stunned...soon Naruto's face appeared and they cheered. The whole arena cheered for Naruto and beckoned him on as he ate the last string of Ramen on him.
Shinosuke yelled with rage " No one has done that before! What ...How the hell can you eat all that ramen in less than five minutes ? "
Naruto burped and shrugged, then he wiped his chin with his sleeve and said in a cocky voice " Heh, nicely done. It's still tangy and smooth to the last bite. Now that I'm full, I can go all out repaying ya...Ultimate Taiyuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu ! "
( Insert Naruto battle song here )
There were Naruto's everywhere, the whole place was filled with them and they reek of Beef Ramen. Sakura and Shinosuke was unable to do anything since they were dog piled...by hundreds of Ramen flavored Naruto's.
" Kyaaaa ! " with a loud shout Sakura dispelled the Naruto's with her fists and made some space between herself and the crowd of Naruto's.
Shinosuke dove underground and appeared behind what he assumed was the real Naruto and took out his kunai for a strike, unfortunately Naruto sensed him and with a puff he used his second original jutsu " Harem no Jutsu ! "
Yeah you guessed it, major nosebleed from them unexpected fools and crowds. Even the Mizukage wasn't spared.
Shinosuke was sprawled on the ground as the Naruto's held him down with Kunais on their hands...
Sakura and the other females in the Arena was having their veins throbbing and they either knocked their spouse's head or just kick their ass off the floor. Temari turned towards Max and Ranma preparing to hit him over the head but was surprised when she saw Max and Ranma laughing their ass off the ground. Nope, no blood here.
" Max...are you...um...not effected by this? " asked Tamari as she started to doubt her boyfriend's interests.
Max wiped the tears from his eyes and said between gasps, he haven't had this kind of laugh since...since...well the time he made that Genjutsu on Ranma about the birds and the bees " I've seen better than that Temari-chan..." then he slapped his mouth shut as he noticed what he said " Um...I mean...um...you're the only one for me Temari-chan. I would never ever go head over heels for another girl...plus, that's Naruto we're talking about."
#Phew, nice safe Max.# he thought as he saw the glare was gone and an all too sweet smile on Tamari's face...wait. The only time she did that was when she had a plan to defeat her opponent...oh my God...
Temari pulled his ears and dragged him back to the seats. Leaving Ranma and Haku to laugh their ass off, for the sake of their brother, they laughed.
Soon Sakura was exhausted by destroyed all the clones...well, she was actually wasting her energy in anger since all the girls had better assets than her. Naruto grinned evilly and said " So Sakura-chan, you wanna give up ? "
The pink haired Kunoichi clenched her fists and suddenly punched Naruto on the cheek, which sends him towards the bowl. Which shattered into a million pieces.
By now everyone was back in his or her seats. Some had sore marks on their faces by their mates but most of them had this gaze on their faces...oh and the added tissue in their noses.
At that punch Sakura dropped down, her last energy spent.
Naruto stood up after the punch. It hurt like a bitch but he fought much tougher opponents that gave a harder punch like that. He thought back to the time Ranma sparred with him and thanked Ranma for that.
The crowd gave a heartily Cheer as Naruto was announced the winner by a bandaged up Kosame.
That was ten times better than the last Chuunin Exams. For obvious reasons of course.
The fights went on. Fighters fall and the winners keep on fighting for their country and rank of the Chuunin. Scars were earned and the Genins that failed where brought into a new world of self-learning. All the teachings of their teachers and instructors were used and were utilized to fulfill their dreams.
Lee won the match between Kankuro as he released his gates at the last moment to gain the boost and ripped the Final Puppet apart, revealing a stunned Kankuro inside.
Naruto was no match for Lee as the older and more experienced boy pummeled the blonde before he could do anything. Even with the trainings, Lee was just too fast for Naruto to catch.
Hinata gave up on seeing Naruto being defeated. There was always next year.
The awards for the rank of Chuunin were given to the following Genins.
Kankurou for the skill of deception while fighting his teammates. Hiding from his teammates in the Final Exam.
Rock Lee, for his skill in Advance Taijutsu and the showing of a true fighter. He fought TenTen like she was an equal.
Hyuuga Neji, for his look out on others, even though it's a short and unexpected ally between teams, he guided his teammates to victory in the First Exam. He also showed great leader ship in the Second Exam.
The Team that was fully given the Chuunin title was The Mist Team. Although they lost in the fight, they gave their all in the fight. They showed that they truly understood the reason on the Final Exam.
Those that aren't promoted to Chuunin...will be welcomed to attend the next Chuunin Exam held in the Stone Country.
Naruto was sad of course. He did his best but it wasn't enough. He knew that he didn't go all out with Lee, heck he can't go all out. He could either kill Lee or endanger everyone if he went all out. He wasn't able to do that to his friends. No..he had his own Nindo to go through. Weather Chuunin or not, he'll always be the same, the one and only...UZUMAKI NARUTO !
The teams went back to their countries and train.
However, Naruto will not be following them as Jiraiya appeared and took Naruto off to a training journey.
Max and the Mist brothers bid farewell to him and waited for the return of their blonde friend. Shinosuke gave Naruto his recipe for the ultimate Ramen bowl technique and he was grateful for that.
Max sighed as the last of the teams went back. He smiled as Temari waved good-bye and disappeared along the horizon. It was good as it lasted.
Two years later...
The Place, The Hidden Mist Village. The occasion...Chuunin Exam. The Entries?
" HEY WATCH OUT ! I'M UZUMAKI NARUTO AND I'M GONNA KICK EVERYONE'S ASS ! "
Yup, same old Naruto...
But in the two years...many happened...many had died and many had risen to take their place.
In the Valley of Evil...( Begin side story )
Tenkuu stared wide eyed at what was before him...it was unbelievable, the tales about Evil Valley...tales about how the ones that enters are to face the trails of the Missing Nins here...the tales about how one must be as alert as a deer...was all a LIE !
He saw people walking on the streets, children playing and old folks playing Shogi on the tables while drinking what he assumed was sake or tea. Just what the heck is this ?
Tenkuu went in what he assumed was a normal looking restaurant and found out that it was just that...normal. He didn't let his guard down though, he found a seat and a young looking girl wearing a kimono served him some green tea and asked him his orders for lunch.
" Um...how come this place seems so normal ? " asked Tenkuu.
The girl laughed sweetly and answered, " Well sir, everyone thought the same too, but rest assured that you're safe here unlike the outside world. We come here to live peaceful lives now. So...may I take your orders ? "
Tenkuu was thinking about this info until a round fat monk came over smiling widely " Hey there, hahha, aren't you the Snake Catcher Ottoseimaru ? Yeah, we heard of you beating Orochimaru that day...so you've come down here too eh ? Welcome to my Happy Restaurant. I'm the owner, you can call me Waraigusa the laughing monk. As you can see we're a peaceful village. I really appreciate if you ...um...forget about what the outsiders say about our humble valley. "
The sword user was stunned, so this was the all feared Evil Valley? They became normal villages? This is really unbelievable to one such as Tenkuu.
He ordered some milk and a bottle of sake himself; of course he used silver tipped toothpick to test it for any poison. It checked out and he drank it all up. Suddenly his vision started blurring and he felt light headed " Damn...me and my fetish for a good sake...Ookawa always warned me about it..." then he went limp and snored so loud that it could wake the dead.
The young girl walked over there and picked the now sleeping baby and chuckled. A large man with an eye patch and a wide mouth walked by and laughed. His large mouth was so big that it could fit a ramen bowl. His hair was tied into a cannibal like style and he even had a bone tied on his knot on top of his hair.
" So does our little Kimiko had her fun today ? " stated the man. The little girl giggled and answered while she covered her face " Why Kyokou-sama, I don't know what you're talking about."
The large man smirked " You can't full me, now take that bloody disguise away before I eat you, you do know that I love young girls..." to show his point, he opened his mouth and his white pearly teeth made a Gai like sparkle.
The young girl frowned and with a lady like twirl, a woman in her thirties appeared in front of Kyokou pouting " Oh c'mon Kyokou, don't be a spoil sport. Let a girl have some fun will ya ?"
Suddenly a cold voice startled both persons and as they turned about, they came face to face with a ghost...or a man ? Well if he's to be called a man you should say that he resembles a corpse. Ahh yes, he looks like a Zombie.
" Dang, I always hate it when you do that Kyuu Rei, why can't you move around like a normal man ? Oh I forgot, you're only half man. Hahhahah " Kyokou laughed at his own joke.
" Har har, and you're the vegetarian tofu eater king of the whole world." said the live corpse as his monotone voice echoed through the restaurant. At that the large man shivered at the thought of eating tofu, he wondered who the hell would eat only tofu ?
( Author : I do, I do, Pick me ! )
" Shouldn't we bring this big loaf to Kyouzame-sama ?" reminded the fat bald monk.
At the mention of Kyouzame, the two men put aside their bantering and lifted Tenkuu and his iron sword, Kimiko carried the baby and they went off towards their destination.
About a few hundred meters away, through some bushes and trees, pass a rocky mountain path; across a stream they arrived to a cottage. Inside the cottage, was a chair, tied to the chair was the master swordsman Tenkuu.
Tenkuu opened his eyes and tried to move but he felt pain all over his body...heck, there were parts on him that he didn't know that could feel pain. He couldn't see straight as the room was dark, but he could hear and he heard footsteps coming his way. Tenkuu waited until he could feel his body parts again and stood up straight. He went out and found out that it was now dark outside and not a soul was on the streets...the whole town felt like a ghost town.
Suddenly he saw a shadow and he dashed towards it, he didn't need any chakra manipulation to catch that person. After a few seconds he caught up to the man and found out that it was just a dead corpse.
" So...someone knows medical jutsus here...interesting." he noticed that the corpse held a sword and picked it up " Whoever he is...he is trying to help me..." then he started to search the village.
He broke into the houses along the empty streets with his sword shining with the moonlight as his guide. No one was in the houses. Every time he reaches an empty house, his temper rises as he became more rugged and angry. Suddenly he heard laughter and his hopes went sky-high and dashed towards the small wooden cabin that was emitting the ruckus.
Tenkuu was so enraged that he didn't notice the many black shadows following swiftly behind him, instead he broke down the door and made a tug and roll to meet...another room of empty darkness. His eyes searched throughout the corners for any clues but the more he search the more his anger and thirst for the kill goes stronger. At one point he was very tempted to destroy every thing in his path.
Then he heard some murmurs outside again. This time he sneak out from the back window and followed the voices to another smaller cabin, as he neared it he could almost hear what are the voices saying...and his eyes widen as he heard them.
" So...what are we gonna do with this brat? "
" I think I'll just eat it, baby meat are rare around here, HAHAHAHAH "
At that Tenkuu burst in the cabin with the sword and yelled his battle cry; he would kill them all for sure this time.
As he broke in he saw a man there also tied to a chair and a radio beside him with those dialogues. He glared at the radio and knew that he was tricked. With a kick the radio was no more. His eyes turned to the gagged and weak looking man tied to the chair and then his vision softened.
" This guy must've been tortured...look at all those burns and scars..." said Tenkuu and he used his sword and made a nice slice down the side which cut through all the ropes. He tried to carry the man but suddenly he was kicked on his knees and he fell down on the floor, as his legs were numb. The " Man " stood there laughing " The mighty Tenkuu was so easily fooled, I was thinking of a better challenge... too bad though, Kyokou would've enjoyed the baby..." then she poof away leaving Tenkuu on the ground, he swore out and tried to stand but every time he uses force on his legs he would feel unbearable pain shooting up his spine and ribs.
" Damn, the enemy is skilled in pressure point attacks...I can't move at all." thought Tenkuu as he sat in an Indian style meditation stance. Then the room started to emit a very nice pine smell...and Tenkuu fainted at the poison.
" So what do you think will happen to him ? " asked voice he remembered as the young girl in the restaurant.
" Heh, all I can say is that he'll be a walking vegetable after Waraigusa used his Brain Shatter Jutsu on him. I bet he'll also be a cripple since you did that nerve twist switch technique." this one was unfamiliar but was full of strength.
" I think he'll die after a few hours since I you did your Torture Rack jutsu on him." this time it was a monologue voice like it wasn't even human.
" Hhahahah hey, you aren't bad yourself, you probably drained all his chakra and ruptured his chakra points huh ? " said the same loud voice.
" You guys have had your fun...now we must move according to plan...awaken him." said another voice, it was filled with a commanding tone and the others splashed him with water and grinned as he awaken.
" Hahhaha, Mighty Tenkuu of the South, it is an honor in receiving your grace here...however we have no idea as to why you come here, unless you want to join our humble valley and make it your home ? Hahhaha, you must be a worthy criminal to be here, we do not tolerate 'Hero' figures like you. Hheheheh.", said the fat and bald monk.
" It seems that he is concerned about the child he was carrying with him.", said the walking zombie look-a-like.
" But why would a hot headed Shinobi be doing here in Evil Valley with a child?", asked the cannibal Kyokou.
" He might be tricking us, shall I do more damage to his body ? " asked the pale skinned man again.
" Nay, leave him to the doctor and ask if he is to be healthy." said the leader figure as he walked forward to examine Tenkuu's battered body. One would cringe at the leader's right hand as it was a deadly looking hook and was red on the sides and the pointed spikes all around the wrists. His face a also rugged with a nasty scar across his chest and red markings all over his body and have long wavy red hair that would burn brightly in the Sun.
An old but tough looking man with a Yin Yan symbol on his robe walked in, he had pale gray eyes as the light from the small room reflected off them. Obviously a Hyuuga " What did you lots do this time ? "
" Doc, check out what he have for your experiments Hhahahah you should thank us for bringing in another lab rat eh ? " laughed the fat monk, he seems to never stop grinning and laughing from the beginning and find every little thing amusing.
" Huh ? This...this is..." stuttered the Doctor, " This is Tsubame Minami no Tenkuu, why the heck would he come here? " asked the Hyuuga Doctor.
" Well, if we knew, this won't be a mystery, but your job is to check if he is still mobile." said Kyuu Rei. The moonlight from the window made him look more like a ghost as few strands of his hair floated along with the night breeze.
" Hmm...You guys did a number on him...if not for his undying will to survive, which I don't know why too, he would have been dead long ago. But as you see, he is now a vegetable. He can't be any harm to you guys...but as a precaution may I ask for him to be sent to my abode to be sure ? " Asked the Doctor, his voice was calm and collected as he pressed on certain parts of Tenkuu's body.
The leader figure was silent but then agreed, he have nothing to do with Tenkuu and who knows what experiments the Doctor might do to Tenkuu.
At the nod, the Hyuuga lifted the large swordsman up with ease clearly showing that he is still strong and a fighter yet, useless men aren't allowed in the valley.
The women walked in with the baby in her arms " So what are we going to do with this little brat ? "
" Like I said, why not let me eat him ? " said Kyokou as he started to drool at the sight of a plump child.
" Haahahahah look at little Kimiko, she looks like a mother holding her child. Hhahahha Hey what are you going to teach him when he grows up ? How to be a crook like you ? Hhahahah " laughed the fat monk.
At that everyone started to laugh, well except the zombie and their leader who grunted.
" Hey, that's not a bad idea, this child is sent here by the Gods to us so that we could raise him and wreck havoc through out the land. Look at his mouth, I think he'll be a great cannibal." said the large cannibal.
" Hmm, to say the truth, I'd rather teach him myself than you, I fed him and changed him so I'll get to teach him first." said Kimiko as she hugged the baby " And God forbid another cannibal like you in this valley."
" Hhahah, maybe I'll teach to laugh like me, look at his smile, he'll be a fat monk like me yet. "
As the three talked about the things they would do to the child, Kyuu Rei took a longing look at the baby " The child does have strong looking legs...he could outrun anyone here if I were to train him..."
" Silence." everyone turned to the leader figure " Since you're all so psyched up about raising this child...I shall allow this, but remember, at the age he can walk, we shall train him in all our styles, at the time he reaches 16, he'll be a killing machine fit for this valley, we shall show the outside world that we, the five Evils of Evil Valley are great fighters and teachers."
" Hai, Tandoku-sama." said everyone; even the baby was quiet through out his speech.
" Um...what shall we name the little squirt? " Asked the cannibal.
" I found this on him as I was changing him." said Kimiko and took out a Hai-ate and a clan sign. The Hai-ate was with the logo of the Hidden Lake village and the scroll was from the baby's father's clan...the Ookawa clan.
" Hey this kid is loaded hahahahh how about he ransom him? " joked the fat monk.
" Fool, if he's here, what do you think they did to his father? Tenkuu isn't from the Hidden Lake, the last I heard, the heir from the Ookawa clan is a hidden-nin too." said Kyuu Rei.
" Fine, fine, I was just joking Hhaahah."
" Alright, back to his name...so we know his family name is Ookawa...I know, since he could survive this ordeal, why not name him Iede ? A boy running away from his home." said Kimiko.
" No, he didn't run away, he was born in the Land of the Amidst...so he is a survivor...call him Seizansha, so he would survive our training and not die on us." said Kyuu Rei.
" But he looks like a little whelp...call him Chiipoke ! " yelled the cannibal.
" Tiny ? He'll be a bigger man than you. I still think that Iede is better."
" Why not ask the boss ? Hahhaha and I think that Kokkei would be suitable since he likes to laugh like me. " asked the Monk.
Tandoku was enjoying the bantering until the subject was turned to him..." I shall combine each of your point of view of this child...laughter, survivor, tiny, running away from home...From now on, I shall name him Ookawa Shun." said Tandoku.
As everyone digested the information the baby chuckled at the sudden silence. The adults followed on and they laughed along.
" What a fine name, Shun ( Fish) Ookawa no Shun...the Fish of the river...hahahhaha. " laughed the monk.
" Indeed, he shall be tiny like a fish, a survivor in the rough streams, able to escape from any threat, truly a wonderful name." said Kyuu Rei.
" Well little Shun, Welcome to Evil Valley, your new home." said Kyokou the cannibal.
Young Shun started to train at the time he could talk and understand simple language. At age four he was already able to say out the names of the different shinobi weapons and basic jutsu names. He was happy living his carefree life in Evil Valley, though he would change his caretakers every week.
He likes to stay with his fat monk look-a-like uncle Waraigusa, he would learn the art of brain washing and deception from him, the fat monk also taught him hidden weapons and some basic Jutsus to hide certain objects from the enemy. As times goes by he would learn more advance stuff of course. The way of making up quick lies, detecting false notes and excuses from a target plus the way to decode encoded scripts. Nothing could escape the young boy's eyes as time goes, he would be one great detective as he grows.
Then he would live with his Aunt Kimiko who would teach him manners and the art of disguise. He could alter his skin color and made mask from rubber sap and various objects. He was also taught to learn various slang, accent, languages and dialects; yes he was to become an expert ventriloquist. Not only is he to learn the physical aspect of disguise, Shun worked from the actor's point of view to completely become the object of his impersonation---to think, to feel and react like another person. She was also taught on pressure point attacks.
After that he would live with uncle Kyoukou, the giant man-eater. The man would teach him how to cook good food, well after his training though. Kyoukou taught him various Martial arts, physical training, Taijutsu, vital point recognition and other chakra exercises. He would have to climb hills, mountains and trees with weights tied on his little legs, hands and back while yelling out the ingredients to make the perfect meal, explosion notes, where to catch certain animals and such.
He will be living with his other uncle Kyuu Rei, now he was never scared out of his life while living with this one. Kyuu Rei was like something out of a horror flick, um...not that he doesn't know what a horror flick is because there aren't any cable there. Anyway, Shun will have to be left out in the storm, the hot sun, the wet swamp and other hostile environment to survive Kyuu Rei's training. He was trained to be a master of camouflage and covert movements. In other words, he must be good in hiding and sneaking up on people. Needles to say, he doesn't sneak up on people to do them any good. Kyuu Rei is an expert with silent weapons, assassination techniques, going in and out of various traps without triggering any of them within short amount of time. He trained Shun to stay motionless in one place for long periods of time and not fall asleep while doing stake out missions. Then he will have to run like hell. Heh, Kyuu Rei was a master of escaping too.
The final uncle would be Uncle Tandoku. He always commented on how cool his hooked hand was and would act respectful towards him. He remembered the first time he was introduced to him for his training. The large man led him to a wooden cabin away from the village and asks him to wait inside. As the young boy went in he was met with a dog...a hungry dog that wasn't fed for three days straight. Shun's cries for help could be heard from outside but Tandoku yelled back " Kill him or be killed, that is your choice." then he left him there. As he came back the other day, the boy was found sleeping beside the dog's corpse. Tandoku smiled, this boy is worth it after all. That was Shun's first kill on another life form. Everyday he will have to battle various animals and on the fourth day, Tandoku taught him the art of silent and massive killings. How to kill the opponent without spilling any blood and swift killings on the victim. Shun has various scars on his small body from the animals he fought with.
Kimiko would rant on how Tandoku trained him and so she would take him to the Doctor. The others agreed upon that he was to receive as much training as possible. The Hyuuga was reluctant at first but after seeing the curiosity of the young boy's eyes he agreed. He was forced to eat various herbs and was bathed in a medicinal tub filled with other bad smelling stuff. It was said to enhance his physical toughness and increase his body's healing process. Then he was taught how to meditate and do chakra manipulation like the Hyuuga. The Jyuuken Chakra exercise was a daily training routine and he was to read on the many medical books on the good doctor's shelf. Pressure points, poison brewing, antidotes and various animal venom and healing techniques was absorbed like a sponge to the young boy.
The young boy grew up to be one of the best in his generation as the other young lads in the Valley were under his command. They could never disobey him, many tried though, and many failed running back with their hairs burned or clothes shredded. So yeah, he was the little devil of Evil Valley.
His guardians were happy at their creation, young Shun was a combo of their personality, a cheerful lad at first sight, then within a few seconds he'll be like a harmless old man, and then he would be a merciless killer and next laughing at his enemy's misfortune.
However, no one except the Doctor, Hyuuga Yorozu, knows of the young boy's true personality. Shun would open up his inner secrets to the good doctors as he was the only one that cared for him. The doctor taught him the true heritage of his bloodline from the scroll that Kimiko found on him. He even told him about Tenkuu when Shun was at the age of 10. The two was like father and son although not related through blood but they were unrepeatable when Shun stayed with him.
One night, as Shun was sleeping in his makeshift tent, he was undergoing Kyuu Rei's training on wild life survival. He made traps and various alarms to warn him of any unwanted visitors. It was that day that Shun was kidnapped.
