The Lazy Assassin Trailer
Mistral: Argus
In the heart of a port city in the northern region of the Kingdom of Mistral, a young man who just graduated Sanctum was relaxing on the roof of his home cloud watching, letting the day just pass him by.
As he thought about his life how he was trained as an assassin by his family like the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans heirs, but he quickly showed that he was too lazy to become an assassin, so to get out the assassination game he told his family he wanted to be a hunter which went over rather well, and by well there was a family brawl between his clansmen and his grandmother was so disappointed. It took a while, but they all came around eventually.
He began thinking about his time at Sanctum academy. When he met the so- called invincible girl and they quickly became friends, mainly due to her persistence.
"Shikamaru Nara get you're lazy behind down here now your girlfriend is here to see you!" a voice shouted up from down stairs.
'Yare, yare, troublesome woman,' Shikamaru thought before he decided to go downstairs the quickest way possible, as he got up with a sigh as he walked over to edge of the roof and just stepped off the edge.
'I wonder what Pyrrha wants,' Shikamaru thought to himself as continued to fall as kept his hands in his pockets. The only reason he knew it was Pyrrha was for the fact he only had two female friends Ino and Pyrrha. Ino as far he was aware was on an assassination mission with her family.
His train of thought was brought to an end as the ground became closer just as he was about activate his semblance to halt his fall, he noticed his front door swing wide open, so he just closed his eyes as he landed in somebody's arms.
As he opened his eyes and looked to his saviour. "Hi Pyrrha, why did you catch me you know I could have landed that," Shikamaru said as Pyrrha let him stand up.
"I know, but I just saw falling from the window and just reacted, sorry," Pyrrha said as she watched her friend straighten himself out.
Shikamaru was wearing a black vest top which the Nara clan symbol in a dark green colour in the middle of it, with a forest green jacket, dark green combats trousers with empty knife holsters on each side, and black boots. As she began to analyse his face, he often had narrow brown eyes and a typical expression suggesting he is either bored or irritated, which always made Pyrrha giggle. He also had shoulder length black hair which he often tied in a spiky ponytail. The only things he was missing were his Wrist Magnums which were customised pistols mounted on a pair of gauntlets. Calling them pistols wasn't really fair because with the customisations they hit like mini cannons.
"So Pyrrha what are doing here?" Shikamaru asked but felt that he knew the answer anyway.
Pyrrha pulled out a letter. "I got into Beacon Academy I was wandering if you got in also?" Pyrrha asked with an excited tone.
"I dunno let me check," Shikamaru said as he walked into his home being followed by his friend.
As they walked through the hallway, passing all of the family pictures Shikamaru picked up a pile of post that was delivered earlier.
"Nope. Not for me. Crappy junk mail. Oh, this addressed to me," Shikamaru stated as flicked through the post with not a hint of excitement, complete opposite to how had Pyrrha had been this morning.
As he began to open the letter and read through the contents, his eye widened slightly before he turned to Pyrrha.
"Looks like I am coming to Beacon with you," Shikamaru said with a small smile.
"You're coming to Beacon with me, come on you have got to tell your mother,"
"Meh too troublesome,"
Pyrrha's grin turned into a frown of worry because normally when her friend doesn't tell his mother something things get a bit crazy.
'For someone who is really smart you can be really dumb, I mean you never learn do you,' Pyrrha thought.
Unlucky for Shikamaru he didn't sense the presence of the person peeking through a doorway watching the interactions between the two friends.
As a cold shiver passed over Shikamaru as soon as those words left his mouth.
"I sense a disturbance," Shikamaru said aloud
"What?" Pyrrha questioned.
Out of nowhere another door was slammed open and a demon sprinted towards Shikamaru and grabbed him in a headlock and began wrenching.
"What's this Shika- Kun are you too lazy to tell your own mother some big news, is telling me this new so troublesome you lazy bastard!" Shikamaru mother ground out
"N-not a bastard," was Shikamaru could manage to get before turning blue in the face.
"Erm Mrs. Nara your son is turning blue," Pyrrha tried to intervene.
"Nonsense he is fine, and its Yoshino, Pyrrha, Mrs Nara is the Matriarch of the clan. My husband's mother and it makes me feel old," Yoshino stated simply not leaving any room for debate, while dragging her son further indoors to entertain their guest.
Later On: Streets of Argus
"You don't have to walk me home Shika," Pyrrha said slightly embarrassed that her friend's mother was trying to get them to have a romantic moment.
"It is fine, it gets me out of the house with that homicidal troublesome woman," Shikamaru answered as remember the amount of times his mother nearly killed him when they were training.
As they got further away from his house Shikamaru felt like someone was following them unfortunately for him his suspicions appeared to correct as the area erupted in smoke in front of both him and his friend.
When his vision cleared, he noticed Pyrrha was no longer by his side.
"Ah I should have expected the Nara heir to be immune to poisons, your friend however not so much," a distorted voice called out from above.
As Shikamaru looked towards the origin of the voice he saw a masked man standing on a lamppost holding his limp friend.
'Ah shit, no way this is a rouge huntsman, maybe an assassin sent to take me out,'
"Hey, you let her go right now," Shikamaru demanded.
"Hmmm no I don't think so," the unknown man drawled out "I think you are going to have to play my game, think you can keep up," the masked man stated before leaping off the lamppost and began roof hopping away.
"Yeah I don't think so," Shikamaru stated before chasing after his friend and her kidnapper.
Shikamaru activated his semblance and began rocketing towards his opponent with ease.
'While I may not be the fastest or strongest with my mind and semblance none of that matters,' Shikamaru thought as kept creating his Shadow Vectors that were propelling him after the kidnapper.
After a couple more minutes Shikamaru's enemy was in range for his semblance as he created a shadow vector underneath his opponents foot as it propelled him backwards right into the waiting foot of Shikamaru, and in a rare showing of dexterity rotated while in the air snatching Pyrrha away from the assailant and stomping his launching the kidnapper into the ground.
After Shikamaru landed he checked over Pyrrha making sure she didn't inhale anything lethal.
'Looks like its highly concentrated knock out gas, phew she is all good,' Shikamaru thought to himself before he heard a dull chuckle from the guy he kicked into the Earth.
"Looks like my employer was correct all the skill none of the guts, you faker,"
With narrowed eyes Shikamaru stood up drawing his trench knives from the knife holsters on his legs.
'That's interesting,' Shikamaru thought has he was standing at full height he the loose slab of concrete beneath him.
"Normally I like to laze around battle from afar with guns they make life easier and an easier life is all I want, but you went and took my friend hostage, for that you pay," Shikamaru said as took up a typical boxing stance while bouncing on the balls of his feet. 'Shit I have to make this quick I am not all that great at hand to hand, why did I leave my guns at home,' he thought to himself.
"What a drag," said to aloud as he readied himself and created a vector underneath Pyrrha directing her under a tree and out harm's way.
"What was that?" the masked individual called out.
Instead of responding Shikamaru launched himself forward with aid of his Vectors and vanish from his opponents' line of sight.
The masked man was completely still until he felt a disturbance in the air behind him causing him to turn around and block the oncoming strike from his target.
"Good but not good enough," the masked man kicked back pushing the young Nara away from him.
As Shikamaru recovered he activated his semblance again underneath the masked man
"Oh SH-," the masked man was launched off to the left straight into a building wall.
Just as the man began to recover from slamming into the building he was met with a controlled and precise flurry of Jabs from the trench knives. Even as the masked ducked and danced around the punches there were a few close calls but nothing he couldn't handle.
This went on for a few more moments before the masked man felt himself lose his balance. As he looked below him his foot dislodged was a loose slab of concrete, he looked back at his opponent and his eyes widened at the smirk displayed on his targets face.
"Yeah sorry, not sorry it was all part of the plan," Shikamaru said as he threw a standard right cross at the masked man and just as it connected Shikamaru activated his Shadow Vector to flicker around his opponent and attack from multiple angles.
This continued before Shikamaru appeared in front of the masked man and he reached out and grabbed from his collar and judo tossed him towards another building. Whilst the man was in still in the air his shadow became another vector speeding him into the side of another building.
'He planned this, how?' the masked man thought as he felt his aura shield shatter from the beating, he just took.
Shikamaru launched himself at the masked man and just as he had planned the masked man initiated a counter. Just before the counter could connect Shikamaru vanished from sight and appeared to the side of the masked man and firing a kick to the man's side launching the man down the side of the road.
After realising his body couldn't take much more of a beating without aura the masked man pulled out a standard pistol and aimed towards the downed red head and began to unload his clip.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG CLICK CLICK
Before the first bullet could reach Shikamaru was already in front of Pyrrha on one knee shielding her as best he could, he could feel his aura had taken a hit.
'As an assassin he should have attacked me, but he acted as a huntsman and chose to protect,'
"Huh, maybe they were correct you would make a better huntsman than an assassin." The masked man called out before he began to retreat into an alley way and fade into the dark night.
Just as soon as the masked man left, Pyrrha began to stir from her grogginess.
"W-w-what the, where am I," Pyrrha called out
"Welcome back to the land of the living," Shikamaru said coolly.
"What happened?" Pyrrha asked as her memory was a little bit fuzzy.
"Don't worry about it, it was too damn troublesome to explain,"
Nara Hidden Compound
In this dimly lit compound three people are sitting around a table waiting for news from their clansmen.
A few moments later a masked man walked out a shadowed corner of the room, walked up to the three at the table and bent down on one knee before his superiors.
"Report," the oldest of the three demanded.
"Of course, Miyabi- Sama, Shikamaru Nara the target is tactically brilliant, talented and has a useful semblance he has the makings for a great assassin. He managed to lure me into a trap he thought of a few minutes earlier and used his environment to his advantage. If it was not for one thing, his natural instinct is to save life rather than take it. During our encounter I gave him several openings to go for a killing blow, he noticed and decided not to take my life, and when I put his friend in harm's way he dove in the way and took the attacks head on."
"So, my grandson has chosen to walk the path of a huntsman, fine looks like we leave this matter for now Shikaku,"
"I could of told you all of this from the start, mother the boy can kill grimm left right and centre but nothing with a soul also the boy is extremely lazy even by Nara men standards," Shikaku stated as he looked the clan head and his mother.
"Miyabi-Sama if I may, my son while is lazy and not an assassin I believe if you let him view the world through the eyes of a huntsman eventually he will comeback to us," Yoshino stepped before another argument broke out between her husband and mother in law.
"We shall see," Miyabi stated with sceptical look on her face. As she turned back to the kneeling masked man.
"You are dismissed, you will be paid accordingly," Miyabi said before signalled another servant to bring her tea.
'The winds of change are on the move once more,' she thought to herself worried for what the winds of change will bring this time.
The End
Name: Shikamaru Nara
Weapon: Wrist pistols (Deadshot) & Trench knives
Semblance: Shadow Vectors
Semblance Description: Shikamaru can create directional vectors from any shadow around him. Shikamaru can create, and manipulate the velocity of any moving object, the speed and direction an object is moving. The vectors could simply move things around, by controlling their velocity, user could fly, cancel something's velocity, making it freeze where it is, even use velocity as a sort of force blast, blasting things away at high speeds. Once a shadow has been changed into a vector it does return back to a regular shadow once Shikamaru stops supplying aura to it. More Aura = More Speed/Force.
Aura Colour: Green
Appearance: Black hair, Dark brown eyes
Added traits: Genius Strategist
Height: 5"10
His ability is like Medusa from Soul Eater with Vectors just they are made up of any shadow around him can be converted to a vector.
Also, while I figure Pyrrha is strong I also think Aura has limits. Against physical damage its great I figure poisons or knockout gas if breathed in or ingested will still mess you up before aura healing kicks in.
