A/N: Yeah, this chapter is where I think the real plot shines through but that's just my opinion. Also when the fake names are used, they are used when there are other people around besides Deidara, Konan, and Kisame

Rin'negan no Naruto: Ninja Collapse chapter 3
Sanbi and Chunnin Exams
Kakashi Hatake, Jounin-sensei of team 7 consisting of Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Hisan Kyohaku (1) was currently battling for his life against A-ranked nuke-Nin, Momochi Zabuza. The reason as of why is because his client Tazuna had lied about the mission due to his country's poor status. As the sound of metal meeting metal rang over the mist-ridden bridge, two figures entered the fray each wearing a kasa and outfit with red clouds.
"Kisame? Didn't your old SSS friend Zabuza use the Kirigakure jutsu in combination with silent killing." Naruto asked. If Zabuza was here, they could recruit him for the resistance against Madara they had been discussing. "Yeah. You thinking what I'm thinking?" Kisame replied getting a nod from Naruto who held up 3 fingers. One by one, they went down before both Akatsuki members flared their chakra dispelling the entire mist. This one action was enough to gain the attention of everyone making them cease their fighting.
As the duo started walking down the bridge, Zabuza got a good look at the one person carrying the taped up zanbatou. "Kisame!" He yelled out to the approaching figures making Kakashi worry. How could he take out another SSS member when he was already having trouble with one?
"Hello, no-brows." Was the shark-mans' reply to Zabuza earning a tick-mark from said Devil and a snicker from his counterpart, "So it this is the famous Devil of the Hidden Mist, eh? Well I think your gonna have to kill your employer for he wants to kill you." Naruto said pointing to the end of the bridge where an army of hired muscle was with Gato at the front of them. When Zabuza saw the act of betrayal, he immediately called his subordinate Haku over.
"Haku, you take the right half while I take the left. Whoever gets done first gets to kill the midget." He ordered only for Kisame's partner to appear in front of them. "How about me and Kisame cut you a deal Zabuza and this deal goes for you too, Konoha Nin. We require your services and we can't have you dying so what we are proposing is that you join us and for end of the deal, Konoha Nin is that Tazuna comes out with his life. If any of you try to kill Zabuza and Haku while me and Kisame are busy, none of you will live to see another day." The last part of the deal had a very high amount of killing intent in it as to make the point clear. "Alright Naruto," At hearing the name Naruto, Kakashi wondered if the boy was that rambunctious blonde, "Kenjutsu only. The first to kill their half then Gato wins; loser has to pay up 5,000 ryo." Naruto gave a nod before both Akatsuki members threw their bamboo hats off revealing their faces and drawing their weapons.
"Heh, like you two can beat my army. ATTACK!" Gato ordered his muscle that charged blindly with their weapons while he went to the back of the bridge.
Meanwhile, teams 7 had just regrouped back together and were asking questions to their sensei. "Kakashi-sensei, who are they?" Hisan asked showing his lack of knowledge from being the dobe. "Kisame Hoshigaki, another SSS member who also defected from his village. He is S-ranked due to his skill with that sword and his abilities and for his murder and rebellion against Kiri. Naruto Uzumaki… he was from Konoha and he was supposed to be your academy classmate. He is S-ranked for he is believed to have helped in the Uchiha massacre—" At hearing that, Sasuke glared at the teal haired teen. "—and in bringing down Itachi and robbing him of his Sharingan." Sasuke emitted a growl at him; the person he had to kill. "He also killed 7 ANBU at age seven and has two sources of chakra." The silver-haired Jounin answered somewhat solemnly.
'Naruto Uzumaki! I shall avenge my clan!' The 'Last Uchiha' thought as he watched the fight.
Naruto effortlessly cut through the thugs as he used Tenryuu. This was proving to be no fun at all after the training he went through so he decided to end it. Jumping to the front of his part of the army, Naruto pushed chakra into his katana before swiping it in a wide horizontal swing. "Kuroken!" Naruto yelled releasing the chakra making a hard-to-detect violet blade rush at the thugs who were confused, as they saw nothing nor would they ever again as the blade cut straight through them, splitting them in half. With a sigh he turned towards the midget…
Kisame was literally bored. These idiots were no whatsoever and Samehada barely fed on any chakra. The thugs could be terrorizing as puppy chow… 'Or shark chow.' Kisame thought liking his lips. With a quick mental war on what to do with his half of the army, Kisame choose to still their torment. "Raishuu Sha-kusukin!" He muttered holding his zanbatou flat and forward. Then, like bullets, the scales of Samehada shot through its cloth wrapping in many directions piercing the thugs in fatal spots. He grinned at the carnage created while the scales on Samehada re-grew before turning towards the shrimp…
Zabuza whistled at the abilities of Kisame and Naruto. He knew that Kisame was good but he had improved since he last saw him. And that kid… he just went right through them like they were flies and that ability was quite an eye-catcher to swordsmen such as himself. He and Haku definitely were taking that offer.
Team 7 starred in awe at the nuke-Nin. So many enemies at once and all were killed like annoying pests. The mercenaries hadn't even touched them. This made Sasuke halt his plans of backstabbing that person at his skill level. He was on a whole other level and in his current Senbon-ridden state; he doubted that any damage could be done to Naruto.
Naruto and Kisame made eye contact at the same time signaling they had tied yet again. Naruto then looked toward the Devil of the Mist and signaled him over. Zabuza got up and strapped Kubikiri Hocho to his back as he walked to Naruto. "Since we tied, Gato's death will be by the three of us." The two swordsmen nodded and they all went to Gato who was rooted to his spot in fear. Moments later, the three men were to Gato who tried using everything he had to save his life. At the same time, they answered "No!" before Zabuza quickly sliced through his stomach; Kisame shaved off his back; and Naruto shoving Narukuhotsuba and Tenryuu through both sides of Gato's neck with his knees positioned on the shoulders. Quick as knife, he pulled out both the katanas each showing no blood while kicking off of the corpse and landing in a crouch with his weapons pointing northeast and northwest. As he stood and sheathed the two blades, he turned towards the still awe-stricken squad who was backed up with the townsfolk, all of them carrying a weapon.
"I hope you all enjoyed the show this one time because I can't let any of you remember. Kinen Omoi-waipu!" Naruto said while shooting a white blast at everyone but his comrades easily erasing their memory for the last 20 minutes while knocking them unconscious. "Well then, we have some business to do in Nami no Kuni still but you will be safe with us until we're done."
"Yeah, so kid? What do you need us for?" Zabuza asked for he and Haku had yet to learn as of why they were saved. "Simple," Kisame started, "we are planning a rebellion against the organization we're in due to the fact that if the goal of our organization is achieved, the world could very well be destroyed beyond repair with no life whatsoever."
"That's impossible!" Haku argued. "There is nothing strong enough existing now to do such a feat."
"You are wrong Haku. I assume you both know of the nine Bijuu?" The fake Oi-Nin and ex-SSS member nodded. "Well, each of the Bijuu were sealed off into a human sacrifice and Akatsuki; our organization is hunting down the Jinnchuriki and sealing the demons into a statue using Genryuukyuu Fuujin that will summon the god of hell." Kisame explained. "Even though me and Kisame work for Akatsuki, we have a few other inside agents named Nagato and Konan who are basically waiting for a good amount of recruits to join. Do you understand now?" Zabuza and Haku both nodded. "Good. Now we shall set out to get the Sanbi." The group then left the scene of the bridge and continued into the forest nearby.
xXxXx-Deeper in the Forest
There were minor earthquakes running through the ground in the forest, shaking trees and scaring wildlife. As the group got closer and closer to the origin of the quakes, the area turned a little swampier.
As the trees finally cleared, they found the scene of a rampaging and out of control three-tailed shrimp and turtle cross Bijuu. "Hmm, Kisame, are you ready for a wild Bijuu capturing?" It was more of a statement but the shark of a man grinned and nodded. "Well, Zabuza, Haku. I suggest you stay back for this guy could do anything." They nodded their response before taking to the trees.
'This should be interesting…' Naruto thought beginning a chain of seals before slapping his hands on the ground. "Mokuton: Oni Fuujikomeru Hayashi no Jutsu!" Naruto announced as a multitude of trees shot out of the ground and wrapped around the wild Bijuu, stilling it somewhat. "Go Kisame!" He shouted as the Samehada user sprinted off and water-walked to Sanbi. Kisame then chakra jumped onto the beast that was struggling to break the wood prison. "I need the harness!" Kisame shouted only for the wood wrapped around the Sanbi to spit out the harness, which looked like a spear, into his hands. Putting chakra on his feet for the inevitable, Kisame plunged the wooden spear into the Bijuu's neck. It stopped it's thrashing momentarily before completely breaking its' prison and going nuts like a bull that saw red. If Kisame didn't put chakra to his feet when he did, he would've been a start in the sky. Grabbing hold of the harness, Kisame bent it to the right before sprinting around the neck till the harness was a full circle. "Stage two complete! Get up here and finish the process!" The shark-man shouted to which Naruto abandoned his position and activated stage one of Kage-Yubai to get to the needed location quickly. When he arrived on the side of his fishy-partner, Naruto clapped his hands before sending both his hands into the harness making the Sanbi halt its' actions.
"All aboard the Sanbi express!" Naruto shouted. As he waited for the others to get on, he contemplated the capture of the wild Bijuu. 'This one was wild but its power was out-of-whack. What if the Sanbi wasn't weakened? Could we have captured it again without any casualties? Ugh, best not to ponder what ifs for they are just that, what ifs.' The Rin'negan user thought as his partner signaled everyone was on.
They rode out of the swamp and to a nearby Akatsuki cave…
-- 3 Days Later --
As the group sat around a fire, Naruto explained the idea of where to leave Zabuza and Haku. "So, here's what we do. First, I create an underground network of tunnels using my Doton manipulation. Afterwards, Kisame uses his Suiton abilities to flood the main water area. That will be used for common needs. As I go through my Akatsuki room, I will bring food, sheets, and other household items for your rooms after I Mokuton it. Any objections? No—Good now lets get started." And get started they did. In the span of two days, it was complete and just needed common human needs. Before Naruto left, he took Haku's Hyouton scrolls to practice on the way to Ame. After the site of the tunnel network was sealed up and practically invisible, the two Akatsuki set out for the three-day voyage back to base.
xXxXx-Base
Currently, Naruto and Kisame had just explained to Nagato the rebellions' status all the while waiting for their next orders.
"You are very lucky Madara trusts you so much, Naruto, otherwise he'd be watching you like everyone else but that was very good news. Anyways, onto more pressing matters. As you know, the Chunnin Exams are coming up in Konoha and Zetsu has said that the Shukaku and Nibi containers will be participating. Your job is to try and capture them but if you can, put them in the rebellion and say they escaped somehow. Be on guard though for that Hebi-teme is acting as Kazekage and probably wants Sasuke Uchiha's body. If you find out that he has placed the curse seal on him, go in and seal it off completely. You will henge yourself into a smaller teen-form and put on a disguise that you find in your room. Your teammates will be Konan and Kisame seeing as you get along well and would have the best teamwork. Your sensei will be Deidara. We have submitted fake info on all of you along with good mission and ability stats to scare off some rookies. Now go and get ready for you leave tomorrow. The others have already been informed and are ready. Good luck team Byakushu-minami (2)." With a quick salute and call of "Hai!" the pair left to get ready for the exams.
-- Next Day --
The newly formed Ame team had met up and was well on their way to Konohagakure no Sato. Nobody was recognizable in his or her new outfits and henge'd form but the only thing they had to recognize themselves by were there weapons.
Naruto now wore a facemask that completely covered his face. On the back, there were parts that looked like scales going down. On the front, there was a circle with a line through it vertically and horizontally along with it being colored dark blue. Under the circle there was a gold design that went up the sides. It also had five spikes that went back towards the scales (A/N: Think Zero's mask from Code Geass). It still allowed vision but it was mainly to forbid anyone from seeing his face because of the eyes. For a top, he wore a completely black trench coat that had a red under-layer over his completely bandaged torso. The bottom of the coat was ripped in spike-like designs and fanned out away from his body. He wore very baggy black pants that were tied off at the waist by a white cloth (A/N: Ichigo's Bankai outfit). He was now Ichihane Takaitenshi (3).
Konan had her hair tied into a ponytail. Her outfit was similar to her Akatsuki outfit only that the sleeves were longer and covered her hands but it was Dark blue in color. She also wore regular shinobi pants with two kunai pouches. She was now Keisei Tenka (4).
Kisame looked odd in his outfit. He wore a hoodie that covered all but his eyes and went down to a little past his elbows. He also sported gloves that went up to the hoodie's sleeves and covered them. His pants were similar to 'Ichihane's' but were a little shorter. Samehada was now in the form of a giant butcher knife. He was now Ichibousenri Getsuei (5).
Deidara donned a simple Jounin outfit and let her hair down along with going by the name Kyuuzou Seken (6).
Around mid-day, the group had arrived at the gates of Konoha and was sent on their way to explore the place. Along the way, they found a Suna shinobi who wore makeup and a black cat costume with what they assumed to be a wrapped up puppet on his back holding up a boy. Off to the side, his teammate, a blonde-haired girl with four ponytails, a light purple battle kimono, and battle fan on her back was trying to get him to stop while that kunoichi from the bridge just looked worried and didn't do anything.
"(Sigh) I'll be right back." Ichihane said before he vanished from sight. "Ohh, they are gonna get it." Kisame spoke shaking his head as he and Konan went to the hotel.
Being so quick, Naruto quickly used Hiro Bansho: Boka no Jutsu on the metal of his mask turning his arm into metal before rushing over a gut punching the Suna shinobi making him drop the kid who hurried behind the girl from the bridge and lurched forward while his teammate winced.
"Suna shinobi-san, you shall behave yourself while you are here for the duration of your stay or else you shall be escorted back to your village due to your ways. Now to teach you a lesson; Tama-houmen: Kane Kobushi no Jutsu!" Then, the metal Ichihane absorbed shot off his arm and at the shinobi at bullet-like speed before launching the Suna shinobi back a few feet and on his back.
"I am sorry about your teammate but he shouldn't act like that even if he has good skills. It will kill one day. He will be sore for the day but that is all the power I could extract from my jutsu before it did nothing. Oh, and you on the building and you in the tree; come out now." Ichihane said as the 'Last Uchiha" jumped down beside his teammate while a redhead carrying a gourd on his back shunshin'd down in a swirl of sand.
"I am sorry about my brother Kankuro, Ame Nin. I thank you for teaching him that lesson and I will look forward to fighting you in the exams." Was the monotonous answer from the redhead? "Wait a second, why are foreign shinobi here in Konoha?" The pink-haired girl asked. "Simple, we have come to take the Chunnin Exams. Why else would we be here? Cookie shopping." Was Ichihane's sarcastic answer earning a snicker from the Suna girl?
"Temari, grab our brother and lets go." The redhead ordered. "Wait Suna Nins, may I have your names and I, in turn, shall give you mine." Ichihane asked getting a nod from the gourd carrier. " My name is Sabaku no Gaara and she is my sister, Temari. The guy you punched up the street is my brother, Kankuro." If someone looked close enough, you could see a tiny smirk on Gaara's face. "Thank you. I am Ichihane of the Takaitenshi clan." Our mask-wearing hero said while bowing making a tiny blush appear on Temari's face.
"Wait a minute. Don't you wanna know about us?" The pink-haired kunoichi asked.
"(Sigh) Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha. Your power level is extremely low by what my mask has given me info-wise on you. You aren't even worth neither my or their time so buzz off. Bye Gaara-san, Kankuro-baka, Temari-chan." Ichihane said while laughing on the inside at the blush before just vanishing.
'Grr. How dare he disrespect me! An Uchiha and the last of my clan no less! I swear on my pride that if we meet in the exams, I shall beat you.' Sasuke thought as he stalked off with his fan girl in tow.
xXxXx-Hotel Room
When Naruto reappeared in the room, he was instantly glomped by Konan who then proceeded to rip off the mask and kiss him.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting to do that?" She asked him. "Oh, I dunno; for as long as I have." He answered grinning.
"Hey Naruto," Kisame asked, "What happened to the kid holding the gaki?"
"He got punched up the street. And Kisame; those leaf gennin from the bridge are here so lets piss them off if we meet them. I already bruised the 'Last Uchiha's' ego."
"Agreed but our 'sensei' ordered us to get to sleep as soon as you got back 'cus the exams start tomorrow apparently." Naruto and Konan nodded before each going to their own bed and sleeping for the night.
xXxXx-Exam Building
The exam building was far from quiet as a mass horde of Chunnin hopefuls tried getting into room 301 for the first exam. Team Byakushu-minami sighed as they walked past all of the simpletons who couldn't spot the Genjutsu and up the stairs. When they got to the door to the actual room 301, their 'sensei' was there to wish them luck and let them through to the room. An hour passed and a majority of the teams had gotten into the room along with Uchiha's. Currently, they were talking with their other rookies and this kid named Kabuto Yakushi. Using his chakra to enhance his hearing, Naruto listened in on the conversation.
"So, what your saying is that you can give us info on other people if we just give you their traits?" Sasuke asked. "Yep. That's it right on the dot. So you guys got anyone you wanna know about." Kabuto answered.
"Yes. I want info on Rock Lee, Sabaku no Gaara, Ichihane Takaitenshi and his teammates." Sasuke all but demanded to the glasses wearing ninja.
"Well that was no fun. You gave me their names. Oh well." Kabuto said as he placed chakra into five of his info cards.
"Ok. First, we have Rock Lee. He's taking the exam for the first time too so he doesn't have any experience in it yet. His teammates are Hyuuga Neji and TenTen. Jounin sensei is Maito Gai. He lacks skill in Gen and Ninjutsu due to his condition but he excels in Taijutsu. His mission rankings are as such; 24 D-ranks and 13 C-ranks."
"Next we have Sabaku no Gaara. He is also a first timer for the exam. His teammates are Temari and Kankuro. Jounin sensei is Baki. His mission history is 21 C-rank, 7 B-rank, and 1 A-rank. An interesting fact about him is that he came back from every mission unscathed."
"Now we have Ichihane Takaitenshi…" Kabuto trailed off as his eyes widened in horror at the name as he scanned his info over and over again.
"Well, out with it four-eyes." Kiba said crossing his arms.
"T-Ta-Takaitenshi "The Death Angel of the Rain" Ichihane. He truly puts his clan name into the bingo books for how strong he is which is unknown since he isn't from Konoha. Ichihane is rumored to have a bloodline that none of his other clan mates possess along with a Tai and Kenjutsu style to match it. His mission history is 49 C-ranks, 24 B-ranks, and 13 A-ranked. It is rumored that he transforms his body into a hard material such as metal and uses it as a weapon. An example is when he used it against Kankuro when he was about to beat the Hokage's grandson which launched him up the street with very little power." This made everyone look on in shock at this character that was with his teammates a little ways from their group. "When he is on a mission though, he aims the Tama-houmen at their heads and completely decapitates them and he just keeps going. He holds three katanas each that are proclaimed to hold powers like no other. They are named Tenryuu, Narukuhotsuba, and Shinigami-Dakishimeru. His teammates are Keisei Tenka and Ichibousenri Getsuei. Jounin sensei is Kyuuzou Seken. He is considered an A-rank threat to a variety of countries and his bounty is equal to an S-rank mission payment. Not many know of him as no-one has lived to speak of him." Kabuto concluded trembling but as the rookie nine looked back at Ichihane, he was gone.
'This is gonna be good.' Ichihane thought. "Boo." All the Gennin jumped backwards frightened at the new voice, which turned out to be Ichihane who was currently laughing like no tomorrow. "O-Oh, Oh my Kami. If you guys are that easily frightened, I don't even know why your sensei's allowed you to compete here. People will die in the second part of this exam and to me it'll be like a bloody playground littered with disembodied heads and the corpses. Let me give you a word of advice: If the second exam doesn't cut the numbers down, I gladly will." He said in between laughing fits while Gaara smiled manically in the crowd of now frightened Gennin.
'Ichihane Takaitenshi, I will enjoy killing you and letting your blood fall.' Gaara thought.
Unbeknownst to most, a Kumo kunoichi was wondering how to get this Ichihane character to be hers.
Suddenly, there were five poofs of smoke and the proctors signaled the start of the first exam.
-- 55 Minutes Later --
Morino Ibiki had just finished explaining the tenth question to all the Chunnin hopefuls and he was currently scanning through the remaining reactions. That was when his gaze landed on the masked form of Ichihane. The boy was just sitting there lazily like he knew the answer. As he scanned the last of the Gennin and saw that no more were giving up. Ibiki announced that they all passed and then explained his part of the exam just before Anko came in and told the teams where to go before making her exit. As he went around picking up the test sheets, he came across Ichihane's, which was blank except for the words "After part 2, let me meet the Hokage. SERIOUS TOPIC INVOLVING A SNAKE!" He had to tell Sarutobi about this when he was done.
xXxXx-Training Ground 44
As Anko was explaining the second part of the exam, she noticed that the masked kid wasn't paying attention so she threw a kunai she had hidden in her sleeve at the side of his throat hoping to make it bleed before shunshining behind him. When Anko reappeared, she felt two cold taps under chin. As she looked down she found a blade positioned at her throat and the kunai held in the gaki's hand.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You should know better then that Anko when you deal with "The Death Angel of the Rain." Ichihane said as he removed the sword and re-sheathed it while tossing the kunai back to her. "Now continue with the explanation." And Anko did just that having everyone sign the consent forms and getting their scroll and gate number.
"So we got a Chi (Earth) scroll huh. Well, who do you think has the Ten (Heaven) scroll."? Kisame asked. "I don't know but it's gonna be fun finding it." Naruto answered honestly. With the info his 'Tou-san' leaked, people were gonna be hard to find as they'd all want to avoid the "Death Angel."
The speakers flared to life as Anko announced the beginning of the Forest of Death stage…
xXxXx-Forest of Death
Team Byakushu-minami landed on a tree branch as Naruto called for a halt. "Ok, I'm going to use my Tomegane Vision to find a team and then well, we bathe the trees and ground red." Kisame and Konan nodded as they waited for Naruto to find a target.
-- 10 Minutes Later --
He finally found a team that wasn't to far away. Signaling to his team, they leapt off to. When they found the team, they noticed it was an Oto team or a Hebi-teme team. Naruto quickly gave out orders of what to do before getting to work.
Their deaths were quick and painless when Naruto, Kisame, and Konan attacked. Not even their screams came out when their time for the afterlife arrived. Searching the bodies, Kisame found a Ten scroll so they headed for the tower in which was reached after killing nine more teams in three hours.
xXxXx- Tower
After their 'sensei' arrived and congratulated them, a Konoha Chunnin came up to Naruto saying the Hokage requested his presence.
When Naruto arrived in the office, the old man greeted him happily before turning dead serious.
"Now Ichihane-san. On your test paper, you wrote that you wanted to discuss matters on a certain snake. Can you please tell me why?" Sarutobi asked.
"Well Jiji," The Hokage's eyes widened at that name, "the name is Naruto Uzumaki and don't you forget it." The Sandiame's mouth was soon scraped off the floor as he got up and hugged Naruto. "Naruto, I am so glad your alive but you must tell me about what was written on your test." Naruto nodded. "Well Jiji, I've been working in the Akatsuki as a sort of double agent for some of the members along with me are planning a rebellion. Now, the Hebi was in this organization but he bailed and created the village you know as Otogakure. My guess is that during one of these stages, he plans to invade but I don't know if he has allied with any other village so get Jiraiya here for the third part at least. Now given that Orochimaru is invading, he has probably come to kill you so that leads to when he could get closest to you which is in the third exam. This means one of the kages has been killed and Orochimaru has taken his place. Along with the fact of a planned attack, he has probably placed a cursed seal on the Uchiha in order to steal his body with one of his sick jutsu so at night, I will sneak into his room and place a seal over it to repel all of it's bad energy. Now that's all I know Jiji but I'll see you around. Bye." Naruto explained before vanishing leaving Sarutobi to his thoughts.
-- End of 2nd Exam --
Five days had flown by rather fast for Naruto, Kisame, and Konan as they were always doing something. When Naruto heard that the Uchiha had made it to the tower and the Hokage confirmed that the curse seal was on him, Naruto snuck out and sealed it using Tenryuu. As all the teams stood listening to the speech, many were inwardly praying that they didn't fight Ichihane.
When the Hokage finished speaking, a sick man by the name of Gekkou Hayate stepped up. "(Cough, cough) I am sorry to tell you this but we must (Cough) hold a preliminary (Cough) round for there are to many combatants. When your name is shown on the board (Cough, cough), you must fight. Do any of you want to concede before hand though?" Hayate explained whiled counting the number of Gennin in his head. "No-one wants to concede then we will choose a person randomly to fight again (Cough)." As the board flashed through the names, it slowed down and went back and forth between Ichihane and Sasuke. After much waiting, it landed on Ichihane making many inwardly cry.
"Ok (Cough, cough), we shall begin. Those of you who (Cough) don't get your name called, please (cough) go into the stands." The board went through the names landing on Sasuke and Kabuto's teammate. The fight was rather dull to Naruto as the Uchiha's moves were rather unimpressive. Then there was Ino versus Sakura which was another dull match resulting in a tie. Finally, a match that should be fun happened…or not. Keisei literally toyed with Kiba before temporarily paralyzing him with an Ijutsu. Then Ichibousenri got his turn and, well, Kabuto's other teammate never made it after the sword split him in half making a few inexperienced ninja empty their stomachs. Finally, his turn came up against Rock Lee.
"So Lee. All you can use is Taijutsu, correct?" Ichihane asked his opponent. Lee nodded sadly. "Yes, it is true. It a most un-youthful condition but I have bettered myself in what I can use!" The spandex-clad warrior yelled to the heavens. "Well Lee, to make the playing ground even, I too, shall use only Taijutsu. Now, let us begin" Ichihane said going into the Kage-Yubai style. "Yosh!" Lee shouted going into the Goken stance.
With a burst of speed, Lee rushed towards a ready Ichihane. When he was in range, Lee launched a barrage of kicks and punches that were blocked but still caused Ichihane to wince in pain. 'Kid packs a punch.' He thought while grabbing his opponents' leg before palm-striking the chest. This attack sent the spandex wearer back a bit but he soon recovered and re-launched his attack. Blow for blow, they traded. Neither Lee nor Ichihane gave any ground until the mask wearer knocked Lee back into a wall.
As Lee staggered away from the cracked wall, his sensei Maito Gai spoke out, " LEE! MY YOUTHFUL STUDENT! I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO TAKE YOUR WEIGHTS OFF!" The sentence made some people deaf in the ear but the mini-Gai nodded. He reached under his leg warmers before pulling out said weights. He held them at his side till he released them.
BOOM!
The weights hit the floor leaving decent sized craters and kicking up quite a bit of dust. Many people stared bug-eyed at the bushy-browed kid. Those had to weigh a ton. Lee quickly did a few experiment punches and kicks to get ready. Then he took off, becoming a blur to the Gennin, heading straight towards a startled Ichihane. When the punch to his midsection connected, Ichihane lurched forward. But Lee wasn't done yet though as he took his fist out of the masked-boys' gut and open palmed his chin. This strike did more then just lifting him into the air for it unlocked the mask that shot off and landed in Keisei's hands. Most of the women population got a blush on their face at seeing his face, especially from a certain Kumo kunoichi. About halfway to the ceiling, Ichihane spun mid-flight before vanishing only to reappear in front of a bewildered Lee. Taking the opportunity, Ichihane landed a haymaker on Lee followed closely by a knee to the gut and an elbow to the upper back. As he opened his eyes after casting a no-handed Genjutsu on the Sharingan, many people looked on curious at the eyes. Could this be his kekkai genkai?
"Lee, you revealed my trump card so you better go all out." Ichihane said grabbing Lee by his hair to then throw him at the wall. When Lee was out far enough to see his sensei, he looked towards him to see if he approved. Gai nodded his head yes as his pupil's opponent was indeed all that and a bag of chips. Well that's how Gai would word it anyway.
"Ichihane, my sensei has given me the go ahead so prepare yourself!" And with the warning given, he began, "Hachimon: Kaimon: Kyumon: Seimon: Shomon: Tomon: Kai!" Lee shouted releasing five of the inner gates. The ground around the green-clad boy began to shake and some small stones lifted into the air at the shear amount of chakra released. The chakra became visible and swirled around Lee like a whirlpool as his skin became red and veins showed. A green aura encased him as he lowered himself into a running position. When he took off, he vanished out of sight with the ground tearing up behind him. "Kuso! This is gonna hurt!" Ichihane said before Lee kicked him into the air using Konoha Senpu. The amount of dust kicked up by just that one move was huge as the floor exploded making a sort of dust super nova. Everyone shielded his or her face to avoid stray rubble as Ichihane appeared out of the dust cloud. Lee appeared above him before hitting him making a sonic boom like effect at the shear intensity. Lee again appeared right behind his opponent again attacking followed by 24 equally fast attacks. On the 25th attack, Lee cocked his fist back as he got closer to Ichihane before disappearing a foot away. He reappeared with his fist firmly lodged in his opponents gut while placing a wrap in his clothing. As Ichihane went flying towards the ground, his body suddenly snapped down before settling. Looking up, he found Lee holding a hand wrap with an open palm and stomp ready.
'Neji. This was a secret move to defeat you. But I will show it to you for I must defeat my opponent!'
Lee gave a tug on the wrap pulling Ichihane up at blinding speed, "This is the end! Ura Renge!" Lee shouted delivering the palm and stomp creating the biggest of the sonic booms and launching Ichihane, who had unloaded a large amount of blood from his mouth while his eyes dulled somewhat, plummeting down at rocket speeds. At the point of collision, another super nova dust cloud kicked up blocking the view. Lee rolled outside of the cloud back to normal but winded and bruised. When the cloud cleared, Ichihane lay in a small crater lined with cracks. He had blood leaking from his mouth and that slightly dull look in his eyes making Keisei worry.
'Please be alright, please be alright.' She thought.
"Hmm, I don't think (Cough) Ichihane-san will be getting up after (cough) that. Shousha—" Hayate never finished as Ichihane interrupted amazing many.
"You even finish that sentence and your head will be shoved so far up your own ass that it won't even be funny. And know this; I don't make idle threats." He spoke rather raggedly as he slowly sat up while Keisei sighed in relief. His vision was blurred, his balance was whack, and his body felt like it was pounded on for ten years. This was bad.
"Unbelievable, Ichihane-san." Lee said in awe. "Get used to it cus I won't give up until I die. For that is my nindo, my ninja way!" Ichihane proclaimed before charging Lee delivering a knockout punch as Lee was too exhausted to defend. "Good match Lee-san. You definitely earned my respect." Ichihane said only to be stopped by Hayate when he headed for the stands, "I am sorry but you must stay as your second match has been chosen."
'Just my luck.' Was the pain-ridden thought as he went back to his side of the arena?
"Nii Yugito, will you please come down for your match." Just as that was said, the Kumo kunoichi who wanted Ichihane jumped out of the stands and landed gracefully. Well, with more grace then the teal-haired boy at the moment. She was a blonde about a year older then himself. Her hair was in a low ponytail while she wore a purple top similar to Keisei's showing off her mid-rift, black ANBU pants, a glove on her right hand, and a ninja-to ready to be drawn from her waist. Her eyes had an odd pupil for it was slit but not completely. A kunai pouch was fastened on her right thigh.
"You sure you want to fight, Ichihane-kun?" She asked in a silky-sweet voice. He just sighed as he absorbed the metal from his Narukuhotsuba onto his right arm while forming it into a finger-wide blade at his wrist, "Here's a little life lesson I've been taught. Life's a bitch then you die." And so his second fight began…
