Chapter 43: Level Two Weapons! Blood is the Key to Unlocking It!
Naruto takes Kirby to the ramen stand he goes often. "I come here often, because the ramen here is the best I've ever taste!" Naruto tells him. "You should try it!"
"It wouldn't hurt to try and eat anything edible," says Kirby.
They sit down, take their orders, and begin waiting for the ramen to come. After a bit of waiting, the cook places two bowls of delicious ramen in front of them. "Smells great, uh?" Naruto asks Kirby.
"Sure smells great! I wonder how it tastes like?" says Kirby. He pokes his head close to the contents and tries to cool it down by blowing it, and then he sucks in the entire contents, leaving only the bowl. "Delicious! I want more!"
"Wow! You eat so fast!" exclaims Naruto.
"That's what's so special about me!"
The cook prepared him another bowl of ramen. Kirby takes a small bottle of chili powder and shakes some into the ramen. The lid appears to be rather loose, and when he shook it, the lid falls off and the entire content in the bottle dumps down into the ramen. "Whoa… It's going to be one hot food…"

Link is walking around the village, looking for interesting things to do. He sees some people talking next to a large tree which has no leaves at all on it, so he asks them what they are discussing. "This tree here is dead," reply those people. "We want to cut it down and plant a new one, for it no longer has a purpose for standing here anymore."
"Let's see if I can help on making work go shorter," says Link. "Please stand back." The people move back a few steps and Link takes out his sword. He swipes the tree several times and fast, but the tree still stands there.
"What did you do to it?" the people ask him. Link just smiles, and then the tree suddenly breaks down into several pieces! "WOW!"
"Work done!" says Link. "See ya later!"
He walks a few distances and then some kids run up to him. "We saw you cut down that tree, mister!" say the kids. "You really are strong! We want to see some more tricks from you!"
"Okay, I'm willing to!" says Link. He sees a leaf that is about to fall off a tree branch, so he tells the kids to look at that leaf, so they did as told. The leaf finally falls down from the branch and slowly floats toward the ground. While it is still on its way down, Link swings his sword madly against it before it lands onto the ground. Link puts back his sword and walks off with a smile.
The kids look at the leaf, and then they call him, "It didn't tear in two!"
Link sweat drops upon hearing this, and then he quickly runs off in shame.

Bowser is taking a walk and he encounters two people in green spandex, doing exercise and talking about 'fire of youth', so he asks him, "What are you to doing?"
"We're doing exercise to boost the fire of youth within us!" reply the duo. "You must be the chosen one Tsunade-sama spoke of, right?"
"And as it happens, I am!"
"I am Gai, and this is my favorite student, Rock Lee!" says one of them, the taller one. "I can sense a fiery aura within you! If you are the chosen one, then you should show your powers and prove yourself to everyone!"
"Join us with our fiery exercises!" says Lee. "You look like you can become a great figure in the future!"
Hearing this touched Bowser's heart a bit. "This is the first time someone said inspiring things like these to me! I'm so happy!" Bowser drops down onto the ground and begins doing pushups with them. "Okay! I feel the fire of youth within me! Let us work out to the maximum!"
"Yes we will!"

DK is walking alone by himself very quietly when he stepped on some wet stuff. "This ground is wet and gooey… Perhaps it's clay?" Then he sees someone shouting at him a few distances away.
"Hey, gorilla! You're standing on wet cement! Get out of there!" shouts the man.
"Did you say to show you my ramen?" replies DK. "But I don't have ramen!"
"I said get out of the wet cement!"
"But I don't have ramen!"
"I said cement!"
"That's what I'm trying to tell you: I don't have ramen!"
"Just look down at where you're standing!"
"My ramen needs mending? I don't have any ramen with me!"
"ARE YOU DEAF?"
"I'm not dead! What do you want from me?"
"Just step off the cement!"
"How many times must I tell you that I don't have any ramen with me!"

Sheik throws several needles at Kakashi, who is reading his favorite book, Come Paradise. Amazingly, Kakashi dodged the incoming needles even though his eyes are glued to the book!
Sheik pulls out a chain whip and swings it at Kakashi again, but the ninja once again dodges it without taking his eyes off the book. Sheik charges at him and throws several punches and kicks, but none of them comes in contact with him!
While reading his book and avoiding the blows, Kakashi flicks a finger at Sheik and she flies backwards into a tree with a crash. "Oh… That hurts…" says Sheik painfully. "You sure are good…"
Kakashi takes his face off the book. "You're not half bad either, but you seem to focus more on taijutsu rather than ninjutsu, Zelda."
"I know that. I don't know how to use ninjutsu like shadow clone very much. At least I know the basics like throwing shuriken and kunai—though I prefer needles—and jumping from tree to tree."
"If you are willing, I can teach you some."

Mewtwo floats up to a bench and sees Kirby sitting with two other kids, eating potato chips and chatting. "I see you made new friends, Kirby."
"Yes! This pleasantly plump guy next to me is Chouji. He eats as much as me! And the one next to him is his best friend Shikamaru."
"Good to know you."
"Good to know you too," says Shikamaru. "You're the one they said will be able to wipe out some great evil, right?"
"Yeah, that's me and my friends."
"It's a tiring job, isn't it?"
"Nah, it's nothing to me. We do this for the sake of the world, and things like these are not a bit tiring."
"I find it tiring. In fact, I think everything that is unnecessary is tiring."
"Wiping out evil isn't unnecessary."
"Will evil surely be wiped out? They may come back again and again, so what's the use of trying to get rid of them?"
"You have a point there, but at least we are able to push them back for a while and we can have a bit of rest during that time."
"I would rather lie down on the grass and look at the clouds than to do things that can't be solved."
Then a thought came to Mewtwo. "Hey… You reminded me of someone I know. He's just like you! He also wants to lie down on the grass and look at the clouds all day long." Of course, he is referring to Yoh, who he met in Tokyo.
"Who wouldn't want to?"
"But unfortunately for him, he's engaged and his wife-to-be is always bossing him around."
"So as I always said, women are nuisance. I just don't understand why my dad would choose to marry that kind of woman in the first place."
"Think of this way: If he never married your mom, would you be existing in this world?"
"Women are only good for reproducing."
"That's what you think… Even though I'm not human, I still know a bit about relationships between man and woman. You'll know it when you hit puberty."
While they two are talking, Kirby and Chouji are having their own conversation too. "And they have a very delicious type of hamburger with meat of a rare cow that can only be found in Eagleland!" says Kirby.
"The barbeques here are the best! The meats are of best quality and the seasonings here make anything taste good!" says Chouji. Talking about these made them drip saliva.

The Ice Climbers look at the playground and the kids playing around in it. "It looks really bland," says Nana.
"Yeah, it's like all other playground. Sliders, swings, seesaws…" says Popo.
"Want to beef it up a little?"
"You want to freeze it over? We should as for permission first." Popo walks to a park cleaner and asks her if he can freeze over the playground, and she says yes, not knowing what the hell he means. So Popo and Nana open their mouth and releases cold air. Within a few minutes, snow and ice begin covering the playground.
"Wow! Those two froze over the playground! Now we get to play in snow!" say the kids, so they ran into the snowy playground and had even more fun than before. The people around there are amazed, for they have never seen anything like this before.
"We contributed something good after all!" says Popo.

Ganondorf is in the outskirts of Leaf Village, walking through a forest by himself. He suddenly runs into Sakura. "Oh hi, Cherry Blossom! What are you doing here?"
"I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Ganondorf! I'm collecting some herbs to make antidotes. Tsunade-sama is training me to become a medical ninja."
"I hope you learn it fast! And I'm looking for a good place to train my skills and mind. I've decided that a waterfall is the best place to start."
"Waterfall? I came across one not long ago." So Sakura takes Ganondorf to the bottom of a waterfall. "How's this one?"
Ganondorf inspects the waterfall. It is about 15 meters (49 feet) tall, the width is only about 10 meters (33 feet), and there's a flat rock below the waterfall with water beating onto it. "Perfect! Have you heard a kind of training where they sit on a rock under the waterfall and let the water beat against themselves?"
"Yes, I've heard of it. They say it's a way of training your endurance and also to purify one's mind."
"Correct! That's what I'm gonna do!" So Ganondorf walks to the rock under the waterfall and sits there, letting water beat on top of him.
"Are you sure you'll be fine?" Sakura asks him.
"I'll be fine. Now don't disturb me, I am starting to meditate."
Sakura stands there and watch Ganondorf as he meditates under the waterfall. Sakura looks up the waterfall and sees something there, and she quickly calls him, "Mr. Ganondorf, you should get out of there at once!"
"Don't disturb me, for I am entering a deep trance," says Ganondorf with his eyes closed. "I can feel my soul being cleansed."
"Please listen to me! It's very dangerous if you sit there any longer!"
The reason Sakura is telling Ganondorf to leave is because a log is flowing down the waterfall. Ganondorf doesn't listen to her and continues sitting there, and the log falls down the waterfall and…

"Everything is ready, right?" asks Crazy Hand.
"The auditorium is prepared," Shizune tells him. "Shall we call the Smashers?"
"I have a fast way of calling them. I'll just send out my wireframe servants."
-
Bowser runs back to Gai and says, "I've finally ran 100 laps around the training field! I can feel the fire of youth burning within me!"
"Good! Your speed is getting better! You can surely become a great ninja someday!" says Gai, showing him a thumb up, his trademark nice-guy position.
A wireframe guy walks up to Bowser and shows him a sign that writes, "Crazy Hand wants to meet you at the auditorium."
"My master is calling me! I have to go now!" says Bowser.
"Good luck! I hope you put what you learned to use someday!" says Gai.
"I will!"
-
Soon afterwards, the Smashers are at the auditorium. "Where's Ganondorf?" asks Bowser.
"Sakura called me just now, saying that he's in an unconscious state," replies Tsunade.
"What happened?"
"A log fell on his head and knocked him out while he's meditating under the waterfall. Sakura says he's in a bit of a coma state, but he'll live through it."
"Poor guy… That's why I insisted meditating under the waterfall should be avoided," says CH.
"What did you call us here for?" asks Naruto.
"I didn't call you, did I?"
"Well, um… I want to come, can't I?"
"Whatever… The reason I called you Smashers here is because of something important I must tell you. The other Smashers are not here, but that doesn't mean they should skip through this."
"So what are you gonna do about them?" asks Mewtwo.
"This is why I prepared an auditorium, so that I can record what I'm going to say and have my wireframe servants deliver it to the other Smashers, so they can hear my beautiful voice over the record."
"…"
"Well, let's get started! May everyone go to their seats?"
So everyone took a seat. CH goes up the stage and speaks into the microphone, "Hello! This is Crazy Hand speaking! I shall now present to you the… Forget it… Okay, Smashers, I bet you're listening to this. It's reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllly important. Now, tell me. Is your Holy Weapon powerful? Of course it should be; able to take down Darklings in a… Wait, there's no 's' in Darkling…"
"Yeah yeah… What are you going to say?" asks Link.
"Your Holy Weapons are really strong, right?" continues Crazy Hand. "It's able to destroy Darkling in a single hit, so it should be! But that's not forever, because powerful Darkling like the Tyrant Darkling are able to withstand their attacks. So what do you do? You must unlock… Excuse me... Hey, who is supposed to be at the drums? Hey you, blond hair kid! Narudork or whatever your name is, do the drum rolls!"
"Why must I?" asks Naruto.
"Just do it or else I'll slap you silly!"
"Argh! You're annoying and mean!"
"All right, then who volunteers to do the drums?"
DK asks Zelda, "What did he say?"
"He says that if anyone wants to do the drums."
DK raises his hand and says, "Me! I wanna play the drums!"
CH takes out a sign that says, "Come and do it!" So DK walks up the stage and sits at the drums.
CH continues speaking again, ""You must unlock…"
DK hits the drums rapidly, making the sound of drum roll.
"Level 2 Weapons!"
"Level two weapons?" says everyone in unison.
"Level 2 Weapons are helluva powerful! They are the ultimate techniques for destroying the most powerful Darkling! Here's how you use it! You must use YOUR BLOOD! AHHH! IT'S BLEEDING!"
"Can you please get on with this and stop this nonsense?" asks Link, annoyed.
"Okay, as I was saying, you need to use your blood. Drop some blood onto your weapons and hold it tight, then say this: Power of the Royal Hand Families, you have lent us your power, so now we shall repay you! We give you our sacred blood in exchange for even more power, the power I have in myself! Unlock my true power! Let the holy one bring down the darkness! Okay… I'm speaking a lot… Try it yourself, it works all the time! Now that you have unlocked it, you can activate it anytime you like by gripping onto your weapon and say level up!"
Bowser gets up and says, "I'm going to the bathroom." He walks towards the exit, but accidentally trips on a cable wire, causing the lights and camera to go wild.
"Bowser, you tripped on the main cable!" says CH. And then all the lights went out. "Well, at least everything is recorded, right?" He presses the recorder next to him and it repeats all that he said. "Beautiful! I never thought my voice would still be this lovely even on the recorder!"
"Are you serious about the level 2 weapons?" asks Link.
"Why yes! You should try it if your opponent is too powerful and tough!"
"Are you serious?"
"Learn to trust in people, can you?"
Suddenly, a ninja bursts into the auditorium and says, "Fifth Hokage! We have an urgent news from Hidden Sand Village!"
"What is it?"
"Wind Country is attacked by Darkling!"
"What!"
"Looks like you have a mission to do," says CH. "Go get them, Smashers!"
"What about you?" asks Kirby.
"Me? I have some stuff to take care of. Just get going and save the day!"
-
The Smashers go to the sick room and see Ganondorf on the bed, still unconscious and a bandage around his head. "Is he going to be all right?" asks Zelda.
"He will," replies the nurse. "He just needs a long rest."
"Looks like we'll have to go without him," says Mewtwo. "Not like it makes any difference."
-
They walk out and go to the warp star, and they see some wireframe guys flying through the sky on a smaller warp star. "That must be Crazy Hand sending out those wireframes to tell the others about the level 2 weapons," says Kirby. "I happen to have Yoshi's number, so I should call him and tell him about this." He takes out his cell phone and dials it.
"Hello?" says the voice of Yoshi over the phone.
"It's me, Kirby!"
"Oh Kirby! How are doing?"
"Nothing bad so far. How about you?"
"Nothing bad either. By the way, where are you?"
"I'm in Hidden Leaf Village. This place is full of ninjas!"
"Well, I'm in the main office of Wily's Super Fun Land, and it's full of robots."
"By the way, Yoshi, I found a new friend who eats as much as me! His name is Chouji!"
They keep on chatting and chatting, and they finally hang up. "Okay, done!" says Kirby. "Oh wait… Darn it! I forgot to tell him about the weapon thing!"
"So you said Hidden Sand Village is a 3 days walk from here, right?" Mewtwo asks Tsunade.
"Yes, even a fast ninja must take 3 days to get there. But Crazy Hand said the warp star can make it in only a day."
"Of course it can!" says Kirby. "I used to ride this around space! And boy, is it fast!"
"Okay, hurry up and exterminate those Darkling! And you should consider meeting the Kazekage of Sand Villafe, Gaara. He may not look like a nice guy, but if you get to know him, you'll see!"
"Okay! Let's go!" says Link impatiently. "I can't wait to kill some things!"
"You're always impatient!" says Zelda. "And please take care of Ganondorf, Tsunade-sama."
"We will! Don't worry about this!" says Tsunade.
So the 8 Smashers got onto the Warp Star and it shoots off into the sky at a really fast speed.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Sorry if this chapter isn't exciting either. I'm not really well prepared for this arc, but I do have plans for the major battles and the enemies here though. And yes, Gaara is going to be a good guy, like in the recent chapters of the manga.
BTW, I actually enjoyed writing the part where a log fell from the waterfall and hits Ganondorf. I'm sure you heard or seen those kinds of training where people sits under a waterfall and meditates. I told myself, "What if something falls down from the waterfall and hits the person?" So I've put down that part to share this funny idea!
