Chapter 243: The Immortal
Zoro and Kaku began their fight. As it turns out Kaku was a skilled swordsman. Not only that but with the combination of the Rankyaku he was able to use his legs as four swords…
It was the perfect match for Zoro.
With Ino she stared at the man in front of her, for some reason he was getting her a bad feeling.
"Who is this guy…" she thought.
That was when he swiped at her once again.
"I guess I'm going to fight him psychically." She thought, realizing she was all alone.
He swiped another time at Ino but she dodged and managed to sweep his legs sending him tumbling, he felt, she grabbed his scythe.
"Give up or I will kill you!" said Ino sounding very unsure of herself.
"You have no intention of killing me." Mocked the man, "Besides there's no way you can."
"Oh how you know." Said Ino turning slightly red.
The man grabbed his scythe from Ino and stabbed himself.
Ino fell to the ground in shock.
"Why would he do that?" she thought.
However it would only get worse, why? Because the man managed to get up like nothing happened.
"How… how are you alive?" asked Ino.
"It's a long story." Said the man.
"Did you eat a devil fruit?" asked Ino.
"No." answered the man.
"Then how are you able to do that!" yelled Ino.
"You see I'm a Jashinist." He explained.
"A what?" asked Ino.
"That's none of your business…" muttered the man, "But all you need to know is that I underwent explanation to make me a true immortal…"
"This is bad! Really bad." Thought Ino as she began to tremble.
The man tired to swipe Ino again, but she dodged.
"I have to get away form this nut job." She thought as she continued to dodge.
Ino began to run away dotting every single time the man tried to slice her.
"How long can I keep this up?" thought Ino.
Back with Zoro and Kaku they continued their fight… they were pretty much evenly match… The two blocked each other attacks effortlessly…
Back with Ino she continued to dodge.
However that was when the man began to draw a strange symbol on the floor with his own blood from the cut he gave himself earlier.
Ino stopped to look.
"What are you doing?" asked Ino.
The man said nothing.
Ino just stared at him, not realizing it would be a good time to run.
The man used this time touch her arm with his scythe, he began to laugh.
"Ow! What was that for." Said Ino.
"You'll see." Said the man, "I should introduce myself my name is Hidan."
"Why are you telling me now?" asked Ino.
"Because you are about to die." He said.
"What?" asked Ino, "How do you know that!"
She watched as he licked her blood of his scythe, most of his skin became pitch black while he gained white markings on his face that resembled a skull.
"What…" said Ino unsure how to react, but she knew whatever was going on was bad.
He got into the symbol he drew, then he stabbed himself in the arm, Ino screamed in pain.
She looked and saw that she was now bleeding in the same place.
"You're able to transfer your wounds to me." Said Ino.
"That's right." Said Hidan.
"How are you able to do that?" asked Ino.
You see the marking…" said Hidan.
"I get it, as long at you stay on it…" said Ino.
Hidan nodded, Ino smirked, she had a plan.
Back with Zoro and Kaku's fight…
"This is fun." Said Kaku at managed to get onto the ceiling.
"We don't' have time for fun…" muttered Zoro.
Nothing much was going on… expect for the ceiling thing… that was weird…
Back with Ino she got up and started laughing manically.
"You have no idea!" she taunted.
"What?" asked Hidan.
"What am I doing?" she thought, "This is getting ridiculous."
She then ran up to him kicked, grabbed the scythe then kicked him in the chest to make sure he let go.
Both of them fell to the floor when she did this, however Ino was the victor.
"Ow… that really hurt…" she muttered.
"Give that back!" yelled Hidan.
"No way!" yelled Ino.
She tossed the scythe down the hall, however Hidan.
"You know if you tyro t hurt me…" said Hidan.
"Yeah, yeah… I get it." Said Ino, "As long as you stay in that symbol any pain you get is transferred to me... I'm used to that sort of thing."
"What?" he asked.
"Tell me you know how many Devil Fruit have side effects and weaknesses." Said Ino.
"Yeah… so what…" he said.
"Well let's just say pain transference is one of the weaknesses of mine." Said Ino.
"Wait you're a Devil Fruit eater." He said.
"That's right!" said Ino, "Now tell me what chance will you take… getting the scythe or becoming a victim of my devil fruit…"
"I have more weapons." He said.
"Soul Soul Possess!" shouted Ino.
Ino managed to possess Hidan body as he wasn't expecting it.
"Success…" said the Ino possessed Hidan.
However… Ino hit a wall.
"What am I supposed to do now..." said the Ino possessed Hidan with a sweat drop.
Back with Zoro's right with Kaku…
Kaku was able to lunch attack from the ceiling, Zoro dodged all of the slashes however he still knew that Kaku wasn't taking it seriously.
"Hwy are you taking this fight seriously?" asked Zoro.
"I am indeed." Said Kaku, "And I'm very impressed. If in such a hurry then I will show you my new power."
Zoro watched in shock as Kaku began to shape change… into something very unexpected…
However it would also turn into one of his more ridiculous fights due to the transformation…
Meanwhile Kiba he looked at the guy he was fighting.
That was when he heard certain pops and clicks.
"I heard this before..." he thought.
That was when Akamaru jumped up, Kiba touched him and he turned into Kiba's clone.
"So a clone user…" said Sasori.
"That's right." said Kiba, "And there's no way I'll let you beat me…"
And so Kiba's fight would begin…
Next Time: Kiba faces off against Sasori figuring out that he's not the real Sasori... or is? Meanwhile Sogeking tries to fight Jabra... will he be able to fight him off? Or not... Find out next time!
A/N: Don't worry, Hidan's not down for the count yet... so no complaints... please...
