Episode 6: The fight ends
Rinji punched Hideko into the ground, and then stomped down onto her chest. She spat up some blood, and then Rinji lifted her up by her face, and then slammed her into the ground.
Rinji effortlessly kicked Hideko about ten feet backwards.
Rinji then passed out.
Not a single fighter was on their feet, besides Kidpachi. Kidpachi looked around. "Pitiful." He looked at Kinzo, who got cut too deeply across the chest to be alive. Kidpachi looked at Danjuro, who was breathing slightly. "So you're still alive?" Kidpachi walked over to Hideko, who was also still breathing. "Damn, Rinji. You couldn't finish anyone off." Kidpachi walked over to Yoshida, and then kicked his body to the side. Yoshida was also dead.
The swordsman looked around and then found a nice spot, and he fell asleep there.
Kidpachi woke up, completely healed. "You healed me." He told Tatsuzo. Tatsuzo nodded. Kidpachi looked to his right, to see Hideko and Danjuro tied back to back. Kiganjo, was standing above them. He drew his sword, and he slashed across Hideko's throat. He walked over and he stabbed Danjuro in the chest.
"They attacked us because they wanted to fight sensei." Said Rinji to Kenpachi.
Kidpachi rolled his neck. "I don't really care." He stood up. "What are we going to do for the rest of this mission?"
"We're going back to the maze." Kiganjo told him.
They were standing in front of the Kinkage.
He was thinking for a moment. "Alright. I'm going to over look the rule that you need to do twelve missions. Your C rank mission turned into an S rank, and you all survived. All three of you are at the level of Chunin." Then he thought, The name Kenpachi is famous. Too famous, I'm afraid. It has endangered these children. They can no longer fight under him, for he has put their lives at an unneeded risk.
"Alright," Kiganjo took three papers off the Kinkage's desk, and then handed it to them. "Just sign on the line, and then you can enter."
Rinji and Tatsuzo signed their names. Kidpachi looked down at the paper. Unsure of what to do, he looked to see Rinji and Tatsuzo writing their names. To Kenpachi, it looked like scribbles. So he did the same to his paper. Then he handed the paper back to the Kinkage.
"Nameless warrior, you never learned how to write?"
"For as long as I can remember I would slaughter villages, loot their food, and then go to the next village. I never had any time for learning pointless things like this."
"How old were you in your first memory?" Rinji asked.
"I don't know. My memory was slaughtering my home village, known as Zaraki. I was young, but no one told me how old I was. So I don't even know how old I am now."
"Young warrior, I shall teach you how to read and write."
Kidpachi, Rinji, and Tatsuzo were walking around the Leaf.
"So this is the greatest village, huh? I bet they have quite a few people here that'll fight me." Kidpachi smiled, and went for his sword.
"No!" Rinji said. "If you fight people here, then we'll get kicked out of the Chunin Exams."
"Fine." Kidpachi relaxed his arms.
A man with grey hair, a mask and a sideways headband walked passed them. He was wearing the basic Leaf Ninja gear, and he was reading a book.
Kidpachi looked at him. "You! Ninja!"
He looked at him. "Hm?"
"Are you entering a Squad?"
"I don't even have a Squad, this year. You three are from the Metal Village?"
"Yeah. Do you know of any strong ninja that are entering?"
"Yeah. There are quite a few. But I'm not allowed to tell you anymore than that."
Kidpachi sighed. "I was afraid you'd say that. But at least I know this isn't going to be a complete waste of time."
"If you excuse me..." He looked back down at his book, and started walking away.
"That seems dangerous. He has one eye covered, he's reading a book, and he's walking around a heavily populated area." Rinji stated.
"He's a Shinobi." Tatsuzo said. "He'll be fine."
Kidpachi looked at the Chunin Exams stadium, and he walked towards it.
Kidpachi, Rinji, and Tatsuzo were standing in a building. There was a ton of ninja there.
Kidpachi grinned. "I'm going to kill every one you!"
Everyone looked at him.
"That's right! I'm going to massacre you all, and none of you will stand a chance against the likes of me!"
"Is that so?" Asked a voice. A teenager stood up. He had long black hair, and he had a bow and quiver at his back. He had the symbol for grass on his headband.
"Hang on, we don't wanna fight here-" Rinji said.
"Shut up." Kidpachi smiled, and went for his sword.
The proctor teleported to the front of the class.
"Everyone to your seats." His voice was rather deep. He had scars all over his face, he had a black bandana around his head, and he wore a black trench coat. He was quite tall, and his overall appearance was quite intimidating.
Kidpachi went and sat down next to his two squad mates.
The nameless swordsman put his head down, and he fell asleep.
Several hours later, Tatsuzo nudged him, and then he woke up.
"What?" He asked.
"We're going onto the next round."*
The group of ninjas that passed walked to the next place. A woman was their proctor now. She had light brown, pupil-less eyes and she had violet hair. She was wearing a fitted mesh body suit, with a tan over coat, and a dark orange miniskirt.
"Who the hell are you?" Kidpachi asked.
"I'm Anko Mitarashi!" She grinned. "And I'm going to take at least half of you out!"
"Yeah, yeah yeah... just tell us what we need to do."
"Oh, you're a little feisty, aren't you?" She knelt down before him, and got really close to his face. He didn't flinch. "I was just like you when I was your age. I bet you're really weak." She flicked him in the nose.
He took a step backwards, then he clenched his jaw. And he drew his sword.
Rinji grabbed his arm. "Have self control! You don't need to kill her!"
"Shut up, Rinji!" Kidpachi pushed him off, and then went to stab her, but she dodged it.
He's fast... messing with him was a big mistake... She thought.
Instantly three ninja put their kunai to Kidpachi's back, chest, and throat.
Kidpachi grinned, and he readied to slash at them, but Tatsuzo caught his wrist.
"Stop." Tatuszo. "We can fight anyone we want once we're on the inside. But not before we get there."
Kidpachi put his sword away. "Fine. But if you get in my way again, I'll cut you up first. Then I'll go after my prey."
Anko smiled. "Alright! Every squad will get one of two scrolls. You'll get an earth scroll, or a sky scroll. You need to get both scrolls by the end of the exam to pass. And you need to get both scrolls by the end of the exam. Then you need to get to the building in the middle of the forest to pass. There are no rules in the forest, you can do whatever you want in there. It's kill or be killed."
Kidpachi smiled slightly.
Rinji looked over to Kidpachi. Not a good idea to tell him that... He thought.
Squad Eleven walked into the forest. They had an Earth Scroll.
"Let's split up, we'll cover more ground that way." Tatsuzo said.
Kidpachi nodded.
Rinji swallowed. "Is that a good idea?"
"Well, we can all handle ourselves. None of us will die. We'll cover more ground this way, have a better likelihood of getting a Sky Scroll."
Rinji looked down. "Alright..."
Kidpachi smiled. He looked around, and he drew his sword. He slashed several trees down. A squad teleported down, surrounding him. They had been in the tree he slashed down.
"If all three of you attack me at once, you might have a chance." Kidpachi stated, boredly.
The first one kicked at the side of his head, Kidpachi caught his leg, and then hurled him to his partners.
Kidpachi frowned. "Come on. If you want a chance to live all three of you need to attack."
The second person attack, the girl. She force palmed at him. Kidpachi didn't even try to dodge. She hit him in the chest, but it didn't effect him.
"Really?" He raised his hand, the one that didn't have a sword, and he punched at her.
She jumped backwards.
The third guy charged at Kidpachi and punched at him. Kidpachi blocked his punch with one hand. "Last warning. Attack now. Or I'll slice you to pieces."
The other two attacked.
"Good!" Kidpachi let go of the guy, and then he slashed the first guy across the chest. He dodged a force palm from the girl, and stabbed her in the chest. He yanked his sword out, and then he looked to the last guy, who took off.
Kidpachi ran after him. The man started to run faster, but so did Kenpachi. The young swordsman let out a loud roar as he leapt at his prey and slashed him across the back.
Four squads of ninja surrounded Kidpachi.
"You shouldn't have made so much noise. You let us know where you were." All the ninja were from the same village.
Kidpachi grinned.
Rinji was jumping through the trees. What was Tatsuzo thinking? He's going to slaughter a bunch of people! A sword slashed at his head, but he dodged it, and then drew a kunai. The swordsman had a short sword. It was girl, and she was alone.
Rinji threw his kunai at her, but she dodged it and then slashed at him.
Rinji dodged it, and then punched her in the stomach, and then dropped her to the ground. He looked through her weapon pouch, and took her scroll. A Sky Scroll. He darted off in Tatsuzo's direction.
Tatsuzo was jumping through the trees. Now that I think about it, having him be alone wasn't such a good idea... He said that he'd cut us up first if we got in his way again. I was thinking that it'd be safer to be away from him in this forest... Damn it! What an idiot! He thought, and he darted back in Kidpachi's direction.
Notes: *There was a few reasons why I didn't show you what they did for the written assignment. The first is that I didn't really want to do it in the first place, so I wasn't going to do it anyway. My second reason is that I found it boring to watch the whole first part of the Chunin Exams. My third is that Kidpachi can hardly write so he wouldn't understand the questions. And my fourth and final reason is that everyone knows exactly what's going to happen in this round- you know that they're going to pass, and nothing interesting is going to happen that'll get anyone's attention.
As always, favorite and follow if you haven't done that yet. And one can never have too many reviews.
