Arigoto Cyber-Porygon! Thanks to you, I'm deciding not to delete Among the Shinobi after all! I'm just going to change a few things about that idea and add something to it, hope you don't mind if I do that…well anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter and I hope that this chapter didn't disappoint you or anything.


'Wow, twentieth person down and a thousand more people to go…' thought Shadow as he watched another general run away. For the past few weeks, he kept himself busy by scaring to crap out of generals when they tried to "discipline" him (just imagine something that could scare the crap out of a general because I'm terrible at describing stuff). Kyuubi was rolling on the ground of his cage laughing his head off.

'Nice one gaki! Who knew that a general could be that scared of a kid?' Shadow ignored all of the stares he was getting from witnesses.

'Maybe because everyone's too scared to go against a military person…'

'I'm surprised that your fellow shinobi are scared of those weaklings. They could have beaten the crap out of them in five seconds.'

'That's true…well; at least they leave me to take care of them. I kinda feel sorry for the generals though,'

'You shouldn't be, they should already know that you're here scaring the crap out of every military general.' Shadow turned a corner into an empty street. The only thing that was there were some sparrows pecking at something and a cat resting on a window sill.

"What do you think you're doing here? This place is a restricted area-" Shadow turned to see a female soldier, she tensed up immediately, "I-I mean you c-can stay here just s-stay out of here when n-night falls, okay? Have a nice day!" she turned on her heel and ran away. Shadow stared at her and sweat dropped.

'What was that about-' a huge shadow appeared behind him, grabbed the hood on his vest and lifted him off his feet.

"Weren't you listening? This is a restricted area, so get ya little hide outta here gaki before I decide to beat you to pulp," bloodshot eyes were piercing through Shadow's skull. The smell of rotten food went up Shadow's nose and the face of the person talking to him was inches away from his.

'Wow, a poor, idiotic, ugly hobo, congrats on actually learning how to talk…' he thought as he stared blankly at the "hobo".

"How am I supposed to get outta here if my feet aren't even on the ground?"

"Well, you'll just have to find a way to get your little ass outta this mess yourself. It's your fault that you came here in the first place,"sneered the man in front of him.

"…If that's what you want me to do, fine. Demo, don't complain to me if you're in pain,"said Shadow.

The outlaw (just calling this nameless dude random names) just gave him a clueless look.

"Nani-GGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


(Moments later)

The hobo was on the ground, curled up in pain and twitching. Shadow stared at him, "What an idiot…" he turned his back towards the hobo and started to walk away. 'Sometimes I wonder why shinobi don't stand up for themselves. If naturals are this weak, they should be able to kill a whole army of them.'

'When I attacked this place, it seemed like they were more scared of me than naturals. I think that they even disobeyed their orders just to save their lives or to save the village,' said Kyuubi, deep in thought. 'One more thing, can you let me out? I wanna walk around and get some fresh air,' he whined, a vein popped at the back of Shadow's head.

'I'll let you out if you stop whining…I thought I told you I hate whining,' he checked to make sure nobody was around them did a hand seal, nearby smoke appeared and there appeared a small, adorable, chibi-like fox (just imagine Kyuubi as a cute fox because I'm terrible at describing things).

Kyuubi looked at himself then glared daggers at Shadow, 'Next time make me bigger and don't make me cute because I don't want to be surrounded by people who think that I'm adorable,' Shadow ignored him and continued walking down the empty street.

'…' while he walked, he looked for signs that there were people living here. 'Hey kitsune, is it me or does this place look…odd somehow?'

'The fact that this place is like a ghost town, yeah, but other than that, it seems pretty normal…for now,' Kyuubi walked over to something that looked like an abandoned, ripped doll and poked at it.

"…Hm," Shadow went up to a building and pulled the door open, only to be greeted with a rotten corpse (too lazy to describe what it looks like) sitting upright across from the door. Kyuubi peeked out from behind his leg and then walked in; he walked right up to the corps and stared at it.

'Poor guy, nobody bothers to-' his feet went off the ground and everything turned upside-down, a face with flesh ripped off here and there stared right at him.

"Mmm…what a tasty looking fox…" its blank eyes moved to Shadow, a sneer spread across his face. "Now who do we have here? Would you like to have some…dinner?"

"I'd stick around a little longer, demo I have to be somewhere else other than here right now," he turned but the corpse blocked his way.

"Why don't you stay here for a little while…? We'd enjoy your company…"

"Nani-" all around him, decayed bodies started to come out of the ground. 'Wow, they're having a family reunion. And I'm guessing that we're supposed to be the main course for dinner,' he looked around. 'Damn it! This is the reason why I hate being small-don't just stand there! Get me outta here!' Kyuubi struggled to get out of the corpse's grasp.


(Whacks head on a metal pole) I'm SO sorry for taking so long! I almost forgot about updating this fic! (Continues to whack head on metal pole) I'm very sorry if you're disappointed about this chapter, earlier I thought about making this chapter longer, but I got a writers block and couldn't think of anything. I'm a very busy person apparently because of all the homework I'm getting from teachers (I've got a three page book report to do, about sixty or more math questions to do, a few science questions, and a few other things that I obviously forgot).
