Ninjutsu
SpasticDjinn: Hello all, I am back after a brief respite. Upon logging in, I have discovered that the majority of my stories were deleted over a period of a few weeks, for no apparent reason. I beg you all, please do not do something as stupid and immature as to report someone's story as a malicious means of getting back at them. I know perfectly well that ROYAL SWORDSMAN aka TOP GEAR is responsible, as he told me so in one of his spam reviews. Anyway, I only told him the truth (his stories are pieces of crap) and look what happened to me. So, anyway, do not let my lack of stories frighten you, we must rise against the troll authors and bring the evil ones down! DOWN I SAY! DOWN TO THE MUCKY DIRT AND SLIME WHERE THEY BELONG! Thank you.
And you damn reviewers probably want answers too, curse you.
One Who Rides on the Wind: I thank you for your humble review (which was one of the few to not contain constructive critism) and agree with you also on the 'Naruto kicking azz' (did you mean ass? Or is there something I have naively missed there?) Anyway, keep em comin'! (Oh, I did read your fics too, just so you know )
MoR: What more must I say to this wonderful individual. You are my equal in both demonic power and writing skill. Praise to MoR!
Jenna.Fan: Ah, one of the regulars. Garet Potter is… WAS awesome, indeed indeed. But the new one shall be it's equal in humour, if possible.
Daidaro: Hmm. How can I possibly reply without offending you? I will try as hard as I can. Thank you for your review, and I do see what you are trying to put across. However, I disagree partially. Yes, Isaac does have a "Whateveryoucallit' inside him, but as I stated at the start of chapter one, this whole story is inspired and based upon Naruto. I would not have said that if I planned on creating an original story, no? If I planned on ripping off Naruto, I probably would have claimed all material was original. Just to put things in perspective, is this any different from people who write GS fics that use the identical storyline? All they are doing is writing down what they see/do ingame. I am watching an anime, and writing down what I see, but with a GS-theme. So technically, I am doing more than them to make my story original, as I am swapping, cutting, changing and rehashing, instead of simply narrating an un-original story. Please take this into account before you flame. Thank you.
Ratei: After my somewhat rant-ish previous review, this one will be dwarfed somewhat… Anyway…. I much preferred this review to the previous one, as it is constructive, and not accusing me of pseudo-plagiarism. Sorry to disagree with you, but the only personality that Felix has is what other authors have given him, as he says about two words in the entirety of GS. I'm improvising, sorry if it isn't what you expect from him. Anyway, thank you for the review, keep it up!
Uber Spoonz: Nice name, lol. Murgle indeed. Now that we're in agreement, I'LL GIVE YOU CHOLONIC IRRIGATION YOU SEGREGATED BLOB OF GRAVE-MUCUS! Threaten my children indeed… Just wait until they're born, they'll eat you alive.
Wilddog14: Ah, hello to thee… Great so far indeedely deed, I think so too (no self-praise intended) As for my story that was so cruelly snuffed from this world, the national day of mourning is on the 32nd of December, be sure to be there.
Corycian Muse: Ah, my dear Corcy! How art thou faring? I am sorry that you must cry, it is all the fault of that darned silly duffer Top Gear (aka Royal Swordsman, yes I still blatantly show resistance to him, despite what he's done.) Anyway, I shall see thee… some time… later… farewell!
Miyu.Lara: FLAME! FLAAA-AAAAME! Hahaha, jokes jokes. I will not take it as a flame, no worries. I'm glad you reviewed, thank you. By the way, Jenna will NOT be playing Felix' sister in this fic, just so you don't accuse me of instigated incest.
Enard Blazesong: Er, a new reviewer, aye…. Thank thee for your humble review, I like your name… Is it from a game or something?
Too many reviews aaaargh!
And by the way, there are too many 'Silver Moon' fics. Someone try something original for a change, dammnit. Like 'Attack of the Cheese-coloured Mooselings'.
Ninjutsu Chapter 3: Kung Fu Fightin'
Felix staggered back to his seat, dripping blood from his various wounds. But he was in far better condition than Briggs, who was being carted out of the arena on a stretcher.
"The crowd seems to have forgotten that I even exist," He thought to himself, as two old men pushed past him, on their way to the drink stand. He sat down, careful as to not jar his bruises, and sighed. Next on the list of fighters, was his rival Isaac.
"As much as I hate the idiot… I don't want him to lose now. I want to see his look of defeat as I knock him unconscious. I should be the one facing him, not this 'Moapa',"
Felix wrenched his backpack out from under his seat, and pulled out a length of bandage, which he twined laboriously around his leg. Grunting, he pulled it tight, watching as it slowly turned crimson with his blood. After a few seconds, the bleeding stopped, and he fastened the bandage with a quick knot. Wiping perspiration from his eyes, he looked up, just to catch the announcer lift a trumpet to the sky and let forth a sharp blast. Slowly, the excited chatter in the arena died down, and the announcer began to speak.
"Now let's move into round two of this thrilling event, and we have two more brilliant young apprentices ready to show us their style!"
Isaac and Moapa padded slowly towards the centre of the arena, both trying their best to unnerve the other. Isaac scowled savagely, flexing his not-outstanding muscles. Moapa, being much more well-built, flexed his chest and tore his shirt open.
Isaac gaped.
"You're gone, Isaac. You can not possibly hope to defeat me," Moapa croaked. "I've trained under Saturos. I am at the peak of my power,"
"Yeah, well… well…. I trained… under…. Susa!" Isaac retorted unconvincingly.
"Never heard of him."
"He… he…" Isaac gulped. "He's very, very strong!" he whimpered, cringing as Moapa cast his shadow over him.
In the stands, Felix covered his eyes and sighed. Isaac was being verbally abused by Moapa, who seemed to be genuinely powerful. It wasn't looking good for Felix's chances of fighting Isaac in the finals.
"Hi there!" A female voice screeched from nearby. Felix leapt into the air, drawing a kunai, and kicked in the direction of the voice. He missed tragically and landed painfully on his side.
"Why are you so hostile towards me Felix?" The voice questioned sweetly. "I just want to be friends!"
"Get away from me!" Felix scrabbled around amongst the discarded wrappers underneath his seat. "Leave me alone! I don't like you!"
The girl sat down besides him. She had shoulder-length red hair, and was dressed in a faded-black apprentice suite. In her hands she held two riceballs, one of which she offered to Felix. He declined as politely as he could, and ran for his life.
The girl scowled.
"Just you wait, Felix… I'll make you mine!" she snarled to herself, squishing the riceballs between her palms.
The battle was in full swing by the time Felix relocated himself next to Akabafu, as far away from the red-haired girl as possible. The witch doctor ninja looked quizzically at him, and he sighed in response.
"Jenna," He groaned. Akabafu's eyes widened and a terrified look entered his face.
"She's not coming here is she? She didn't follow you, right?" He looked around nervously, his large Afro bobbing stupidly. Felix laughed nervously.
"I sure hope not!"
"Shhhhh!" Hsu shushed them angrily. "You're ruining the experience! This is the first time I've seen Isaac getting his ass kicked!"
Akabafu and Felix laughed quietly, and they began to watch the fighting.
Isaac was having a slightly less enjoyable time than those in the stands. He was having all his energy drained by simply dodging the attacks of his opponent, who possessed bestial speed and power. Isaac leapt nimbly into the air, as a crushing kick opened a hole in the ground beneath his feet.
"Idiot," Moapa hissed. "The air is the last place you want to be with me as you're opponent," his fingers flickered through quick succession of symbols. With a loud pop, dozens of large insects sped towards Isaac's ascending form.
"Shit, shit, SHIT!" Isaac careened frantically in the air, flailing his arms in a feeble effort to ward off the stinging flies. With great deliberation, one landed on his neck, and inserted its stinger….
Moapa strolled casually towards Isaac's rapidly descending form. Positioning himself carefully, he sped through several more elaborate seals. As Isaac hurtled towards the ground in front of him, Moapa released the ability.
"Konchuu ishuu no jutsu" he whispered. "Demon Bug Swarm,"
The explosion of whirring wings and insect bodies smashed into Isaac with incredible power, hurling him towards the far wall of the arena. He collided with a sickening crunch, and his body was promptly covered by the swarm of insects.
"WEEEEELL….. IT LOOKS LIKE AN EASY VICTORY FOR MOAPA! WITH SOME REGRET I MUST ANNOUNCE THE PASSING OF ONE OF OUR FINE YOUNG NINJAS, WHO COULD NOT POSSIBLY SURVIVE…"
"Wait, look!" A crowd member screamed over the announcer. "What in the hell is that?"
Moapa frowned, waving his hands at the bugs. They slowly lifted from the ground, and returned to him, vanishing inside his clothing. He crossed his arms, and waited for the dust to clear…
But Isaac was not there. There was only a small, featureless log where his mangled body had once slumped.
Moapa recognised the danger when it was far too late. He felt a wiry arm encircle this throat and a sharp point press into his upper chest. With a quick jab, he buried his fist into the figure's stomach, and felt it go limp. Smiling grimly, he lowered the figure to the ground… Or would have, had it not exploded violently, sending him crashing into the far wall of the arena.
"What… what…. Isaac… where are… are you!" He staggered to his feet, to confront his opponent. And gasped in horror. For Isaac, seemingly, had multiplied at least fifty times.
"You shouldn't have underestimated me, idiot." Isaac grinned. Breaking a seal he was holding with one hand, he pointed it at Moapa.
"I win,"
Moapa never felt the hail of punches kicks and curses that descended upon him like a terrible cloud. He had fainted.
"IN A SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTED TURN OF EVENTS, ISAAC HAS DEFEATED THE SEEMINGLY-INVINCIBLE MOAPA WITHOUT ACTUALLY ATTACKING HIMSELF!" The commentator roared. Isaac lifted his arms in triumph, and the crowd finally burst into wild applause.
In the stands, Felix and Akabafu leapt to their feet almost unconsciously.
"WAY TO GO, ISAAC!" Akabafu hollered, and Felix clapped politely.
Isaac staggered up the stairs and flopped onto his seat, in-between a worried-looking Mia and a large red-haired boy.
"Nice… er….. work.. umm… Isaac," Mia stumbled over her words, while a blush crept obviously over her face. The boy just grinned hugely and began feeding a small creature that huddled on his shoulder. He extended his free hand to Isaac, and introduced himself.
"Garet Inuzuka, nice to meet you man," His grin grew larger and the creature on his shoulder whined piteously.
"This is Corona, my pet. She helps me fight, strangely enough." Isaac hesitantly patted the small crimson animal, and it licked his palm.
"Isaac Uzumaki," Isaac replied. He indistinctively liked his new companion, despite his somewhat strange appearance.
"Anyway, I wonder who's next…?"
"NEXT IN THIS EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THE YOUTH IN VALE, WE HAVE…." The commentator paused dramatically as the names spun.
"….. Mia Hyuuga against Akabafu…. Akabafu….. Something-or-other!" he roared, speaking as quickly as he could to cover his mistake.
"Good luck, Mia… I'll be cheering for you." Isaac smiled grimly, shaking her hand. Mia momentarily stopped trembling and blushed even deeper.
"Thank.. thank you… Isaac,"
