Booming Dodgeball with Cute Cat Paws
"Okay, am I, like, the only one who is totally freaking out of what we just saw with Neppe?" Shiki asked.
"We all saw it and I feel like I want to block that out from my memories." Yozakura said feeling scared of Neppe.
"Hold on, didn't you mentioned about Asuka telling this special guest knew you from a long time ago and now we know that it's Neppe?" Minori asked if she remembers that correctly.
"But the way he brushes off the wound is frightening, almost like he's not even human." Murakumo worried.
"Well, I still think we can trust him." Yumi said shocking her teammates.
"I know it sounds off from me, but I believe Neppe may have good intentions on coming here such as helping to free the Hanzo girls. And I do feel like I've seen Neppe before too." Yumi stated.
"Oh, remembering a childhood crush?" Shiki teased.
"I keep telling you, it's nothing like that!" Yumi yelled a bit.
"Okay, should we be worried about the guy who can survive death wounds?" Ryobi asked.
"Honestly, I'm just as shock as all of you are, and it looks like Asuka didn't know about it too until now." Miyabi looked over at Asuka who is calming herself down.
"I still think Master Neppe is cool!" Ryona smiled weirdly.
"I think for now we should focus on Shinobi Masters." Imu suggested.
"But that leaves the question with Fubuki saying those two are twins, then wouldn't that mean she can do the same?" Murasaki pointed out.
"You may have a point there. Just what in Hell is going on around here." Miyabi asked getting a weird feeling from all of this.
"I know you told us about Neppe being half-Youma and all, but I didn't exactly believe he could heal like that." Kafuru shocked.
"It was almost like he was immortal." Renka commented.
"That may seem like it, but that is not the case." Kagura chuckled.
"Now, I believe we'll be getting our challenge right now." Kagura said as everyone look to Fubuki.
"Now, Senko and Gekko will explain the rules of your challenges." Fubuki said leaving the talking to the twins now.
They are still a little shock of what they just saw and remember how their Mistress would say about herself and her brother were more special than normal human, but this is not what they had in mind.
In any case, their gathered their thoughts and begin explaining the rules of the Shinobi Masters Tournament.
"Rule one: Two of the three teams will face off in a round robin format." Senko mentioned the first rule.
"Rule two: the teams who are battling will declare a captain for each match." Gekko explained the second rule.
"Rule three: if the captain somehow loses, then the match is automatically over." Senko explained the third rule.
"How do you decide who wins the round?" Miyabi asked curiously.
"Rule four: each match in the Shinobi Masters Tournament will have a different set of goals. The rules will be announced before the game." Gekko mentioned.
"That concludes the briefing." Senko said.
"We understand, and we're ready for whatever sort of fight you want to throw our way." Yumi said looking up at the three.
"But know this. Once it's over, you're going to release the Hanzo students. That was the agreement." Yumi stated strongly.
"Why, yes, of course. As soon as it's all over." Fubuki grinned.
After the briefing, the three teams went to their separate corners to talk about which of them would be the team's captain for the first round.
"Naturally, our captain has to be Yumi, right?" Shiki asked and the others agree.
"Yes, you can leave this to me." Yumi agreed to take the role.
"I don't know, guys. I'm getting some really strange vibes about this tournament, it seems fishy." Minori proclaimed.
"I mean, what's the point of kidnapping girls only to turn around and hold a fancy competition to save them?" Minori pointed out.
"And it is odd they would choose to livestream the whole tournament." Yozakura said trying to understand this.
Well, if they wanna broadcast to the world how evil they are, then it's no skin off our backs." Shiki shrugged.
"If that is the case, then did that Fubuki girl also planned on showing the world her brother's strange abilities such as surviving a death wound like he's immortal?" Murakumo asked curious about that.
"Damn, I'm still creep out about that." Shiki said.
"I can only tell those two have been fighting each other for a long time and Fubuki is the one keeping her presence hidden from Neppe until now with this tournament." Yozakura said.
"Today sure is feeling weird." Minori exclaimed.
"I'm sure we all have a lot of questions, but right now, we have to focus on winning. For the sake of the Hanzo girls, let's not forget Asuka is watching us." Yumi looked over to Asuka who waves at her.
"Oh, I wonder if Asuka had any close connections with Neppe before this tournament." Shiki giggled, Yumi decided to ignore that.
"(Okay, now that the girls are having their turn. This will give Neppe the chance to look around the building to see if my friends are here somewhere, but he'll have to do it fast before he is put on screen again.)" Asuka thought remembered the plan.
"(And it's a good thing he won't be doing it alone.)" Asuka thought smiled confident.
"Okay! Time to start the first match!" Senko announced.
"You will play… this!" Gekko pointed at the rolling sign on a wall.
The rolling sign kept spinning for a few more seconds until three words came up showing the first game of the tournament.
"Naked Dodgeball!" Senko and Gekko shouted together.
"Oh, dodgeball, huh?" Renka smirked.
"Sounds like it'll be a blast if you ask me!" Hanabi excited.
"Well, except for the naked part, but whatever." Kafuru shrugged while hoping it's not too embarrassing.
Gekko holds up a ball in her hands showing this to everyone.
"This ball is a bomb, and a single touch will make it explode." Gekko informed.
"If it explodes, then how can we touch it?" Murasaki wondered.
"Unless… you catch it with these! The kitty gloves will keep it from going boom on you." Senko showed the kitty gloves.
"But if you manage to hit the team captain with it and the ball detonates, you win the round." Gekko mentioned.
"Wait, it blows up?!" Minori shocked.
"Sounds dangerous." Shiki commented.
"The participating teams, Gessen and Mikagura will now announce their captains." Senko called out.
"I'll represent Gessen!" Yumi stepped forward.
"Okay then, I'll be our team captain." Renka decided to take the role.
"Oh yeah, bet you never saw that one coming!" Hanabi laughed.
"But I thought for sure that you guys would choose Kagura!" Minori shocked.
"It would seem we were mistaken to think that." Murakumo said.
"It was all part of our amazingly brilliant plan to psych you gals out before the match started." Hanabi bragged.
"I see, that's smart." Minori nodded.
"Don't compliment our competitor." Yozakura scolded.
"Hey, wait, why don't you seem more surprised?" Hanabi asked.
"Probably because you just broadcast our plan." Kafuru pointed out and Hanabi exclaim realizing that.
"Now for the stage!" Senko and Gekko shouted.
The stage soon raises up with flames bursting out for show then both teams jump high onto the stage with their kitty gloves on and their Shinobi weapons out and ready.
(Music: The Raising Fighting Spirit, Naruto Soundtrack)
"Begin the match!" Gekko announced and the ball is dropped high from the ceiling.
"Just leave it to me!" Shiki jumped toward the falling ball.
"It's mine!" Naraku jumped too.
"Eat this!" Naraku swinged her right leg for an attack to prevent Shiki from getting the ball.
"Seriously?" Shiki shocked before being swung away.
Naraku does this and catches the ball in her kitty hands as she also strikes Shiki with her giant iron ball knocking her down, and ripped up the left side of her uniform showing her black bra cup.
"Out you go!" Naraku threw the ball at Shiki.
Shiki is shocked of seeing the ball coming at her fast and she couldn't defend herself right now, but Murakumo comes in protecting her with her weapons. However, her mask was knocked out making her lose focus that allowed the ball to hit her on the face and it exploded big time, she is sent flying being completely naked from the exploding ball.
"Murakumo from Gessen is out!" Senko announded.
"Don't worry, Murakumo! I will avenge you!" Shiki promised.
"Take this!" Kafuru started shooting her deadly water-gun blast at the opposing team.
Minori dodges the water blast jumping and spinning around though one blast almost did get her in the face as she leans backward fast to dodge it.
"Okay, how about you try this." Minori decided to perform one of her Shinobi techniques.
"Minori's Snack Party!" Minori brought out her sentient-like giant candies to defend her and try attacking the Mikagura team.
"Oh, such a sweet attack!" Kagura complimented before kicking away a sweet cracker and piece of candy.
"Like that is going to stop me." Naraku swinged her giant ball smashing most of the candies in front of her.
"You're next!" Kafuru fired at Minori again who dodges them.
"Oh yeah, take this!" Minori quickly grabbed the ball and threw it at Kafuru.
Kafuru gasp of seeing the ball and have her dolphin guardian to swim out of the way letting the ball bounce on the floor for a moment until Yozakura comes in and uppercut the ball into the air.
"I'll be sending one of you home!" Yozakura jumped after the ball.
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Hanabi entered the scene with her big hammer.
Hanabi swings down her hammer strongly at Yozakura to smack her away and take the ball for herself, but the strong gauntlet wearing girl threw a punch that clashes against the hammer causing a powerful shockwave and she use her second fist to smack the hammer away.
"I got you now!" Yozakura thrusted her hand forward to push the ball towards Hanabi.
"I don't think so!" Hanabi swung her hammer around to strike on the wrist of Yozakura's gauntlet to prevent her from striking the ball.
"(I better send this ball away before Yozakura tries something else.)" Hanabi thought grabbed the ball and threw it away.
"Out of the way, the captain is calming that ball!" Renka charged toward the exploding ball with her pair of drumsticks.
"Not on, like, your life!" Shiki changed in with her two-head big scythe.
Renka and Shiki started clashing their weapons at each other as one is trying to get to the ball while the other is trying to prevent that from happening, Renka unleash her purple lightning bolts to shock Shiki into defeat.
"You don't stand a chance!" Renka proclaimed.
"We'll see about that!" Shiki responded with her little bats appearing to help her fight the lightning.
Then explosion between Renka and Shiki causes the ball to be sent flying into the air with the ones after going it are Yumi and Kagura.
"Is it wise for the captain to go after the ball?" Kagura asked.
"Yes, because I refuse to be a captain who stands around doing nothing while others protect her." Yumi explained strongly.
"That's my Yumi!" Kagura smile before they jump high to reach the ball.
"I'm sure you already figured out that Fubuki can do the same thing as Neppe can with the healing from wounds, but she is more fierce and Neppe never once won against her whenever they fought." Kagura informed.
"That means she is a fierce foe I must be on guard." Yumi believed.
"That's right, and just wondering if you by any chance had big crush on Neppe as well." Kagura teased with a smirk.
"Why does everyone keep thinking about me like that?!" Yumi gasped blushing.
That was the opening Kagura wanted to make as she swung her right arm stretching it long to catch the exploding ball and Yumi off guard.
"You let your guard down!" Kagura smirked.
"Naraku!" Kagura called out.
"Kagura!" Naraku catch her with her giant iron ball and kicked it for Kagura to throw the ball with the added extra added.
The made contact onto Yumi or did it as the Yumi Kagura strike shattered into little shards of glass which was a decoy Yumi made using her ninja ice power.
"You're the one who let your guard down." Yumi stated as she caught the ball with her fan as it still spins fast.
"Oh no, does that mean it's all over?" Kagura asked shock.
"I'm sorry, but it's all part of the game." Yumi said.
"Hoarfrost Fan!" Yumi performed her icy tornado attack sending the ball hurdling back at Kagura with greater speed than what Kagura and Naraku did earlier.
"(Oh dear, even if I want to transform into my true self, I won't be able to right now!)" Kagura thought worried of the ball hitting her.
But suddenly saving her from an explosive humiliation, Renka jumps in pushing Kagura out of the way before the ball could hit living Youma killing weapon. However, that plan had also left her wide open for the ball to hit her and exploded, causing Renka to be sent flying and completely naked from the ball, and because Renka was the team captain for this match that would also mean her team lost automatically.
"Hey, that's not fair!" Renka complained.
"Match over!" Senko and Gekko announced.
"The winner of the first round is the Gessen Girls Academy." Senko declared.
"Aw man, it's all my fault we lost. I should have stuck to the original plan and kept evading until the end of the battle." Renka blamed herself for this epic defeat.
"Mm-mm don't worry about it. You did a great job." Kagura believed.
"Sheesh, you lost us the match, but at least you protected Kagura. Thank you, Renka." Naraku thanked, offering her hand to Renka.
"Of course." Renka smiled taking the hand.
"Yeah, you were awesome, sis." Kafuru complimented.
"I'm just glad that Kagura didn't lose all her clothes." Hanabi said, thinking it would be embarrassing for Kagura in her child form to be naked all of a sudden.
"Perhaps if I were in m adult form, then I would definitely look sexy and perhaps Neppe wouldn't mind seeing me like that again." Kagura giggled.
"Uh, are you saying he seen you naked before?" Hanabi asked shock, getting her sisters curious too.
"Oh yes, we used to take baths together and Naraku's face was so red whenever I would put them together in the same spot. It was adorable." Kagura mentioned giggling.
"Lady Kagura, please stop talking about such embarrassing things from the past!" Naraku begged as her face is turning bright red.
"Hmm, if only I could contact Neppe. It would be nice for us to exchange of how each side is doing." Kagura looked down at the floor.
(With Arkham)
"Well, I have to say that match was entertaining to watch, and I almost felt turn on. Too bad I rid of myself from such foolish emotions." Arkham said to himself while watching the match through the screen of the security room he was put in charge of.
Then his mind felt sharp like a needle going through his head though it wasn't painful, and it was only for an instant, but he was also to tell what that was.
"Uh, it would appear we have more unexpected guests entering the skyscraper." Arkham smirked.
"I can sense six souls, five of them feels young. Must be the Crimson Squad are turned down the invite to the tournament, and the other one feels older and stronger too, but that would mean this one is a Jonin." Arkham figured out who the intruders are.
"But I thought we had the plan to keep all Jonin level Shinobis occupied covered." Arkham surprised.
"Hmm, I get the feeling Neppe may have something to do with this. I better inform Lady Fubuki about this at once." Arkham said as he got out his phone and start calling to Fubuki.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Well, I heard about dodgeball being painful in gym class, but never thought about this kind of dodgeball to be explosive and sexy at the same time as the Gessen team won the first match of the Shinobi Masters Tournament. Arkham also detected some extra souls in the building, I'm sure you can tell who they are.
