"W…who are you?" Chouji asked.
"What's your name demon hunter?" The man asked.
"The name's Akimichi Chouji." Chouji responded.
"Chouji? Well, I'll try to remember, at least for the short time until you die that is." The man said with a wicked grin.
Chouji glared and then swatted the man with his gigantic right hand, making a big crater. Chouji smiled for a while but then gasped as he felt his hand being raised up by the man, who stood unscathed by the attack.
"That's all you got? How disappointing." The man said.
'How is he unscathed after my attack?' Chouji wondered in shock.
"Listen, you see that piece of crap demon over there. I'm ten times stronger than him so guess what? It's already over!" The man laughed.
He then swung Chouji up in the air effortlessly before he reappeared above the young man and kicked him in the back hard, sending him crashing to the ground, causing a big crater. When the smoke cleared, Chouji was lying on the floor in his normal form.
"My name is Darrius, Knight of Ten and sorry fat fuck, but I forgot your name." The man said with an evil grin.
Gaara and his opponent clashed swords in the middle of the arena, and then jumped back a couple of meters from each other.
"Gaara of the Desert, you've impressed me enough to tell you my name and rank." The young man said.
"Rank?" Gaara asked.
"Yes. In the Order of the Swords, we are each given a rank according to your strength and skill." The Order member explained.
He then took out his right black glove to reveal a 6 on his right hand,
"My name is Kayin Angelo, and I'm the Knight of Six." Kayin told Gaara.
"My name is Mihail LeFoux, Knight of Twelve of the Order of the Swords!" Mihail said, boasting at his introduction.
"Knight of Twelve of the Order of the Swords?" Shikamaru asked.
"It means I'm the twelfth strongest of the warriors in the Order of the Swords." Mihail said with a grin.
"Sounds troublesome." Shikamaru said sighing.
"Oh please. The real troublesome one is our leader, the one that your jinchuuriki friend is facing. Compared to me, his strength is in a whole new dimension." The Knight of Twelve said, smirking.
"Well that's a relief. It means that you'll be easier to beat than I expected." Shikamaru said with a smirk.
"My my, aren't we cocky?" Mihail replied with a glare.
Naruto May Cry
Chapter 6: Mallet Island IV (Shadow vs Insanity)
(Shikamaru vs Mihail)
"So tell me, did you like my chess demons?" The Knight of Twelve asked with a grin
"Not really to be honest, they were quite troublesome." Shikamaru said with a bored expression.
Mihail then faked a gasp as he acted hurt by Shikamaru's comment.
"I'm hurt. I put so much effort into making them and yet you found them troublesome. You, Nara Shikamaru, have no appreciation for art!" Mihail said.
"Look, are we gonna fight or not? I told you before that I don't have time to waste with you." Shikamaru asked with a glare.
"Tsk tsk, must you people be so impatient. One must not rush…to their death." Mihail said with a grin.
Suddenly, chess pieces appeared from a portal that appeared on the ground.
"Those again?" The Nara heir whined.
"Like I told you they are my inventions and I can summon as many as I can." Mihail explained.
"It's useless to use them since I already know how to beat them." Shikamaru said with a grin.
He was about to summon Shadow back to his side when the devil arm was suddenly trapped in a green electric cage created by the Jester piece
"Oh no no. I won't allow you to use that Shadow of yours against me. I recorded all of your fights so I already know what this little baby can do." Mihail said.
"But that Jester piece wasn't able to do that before!" Shikamaru said as he was completely confused.
"It's because I can modify each piece to my liking. For example, I can turn my knight into a real knight." The Knight said.
And like he said, the horse-like piece suddenly turned into a humanoid knight.
"I can even give them more abilities, like my Queen here." LeFoux further said.
Suddenly, the Queen fired a laser blast at Shikamaru but the latter was able to dodge the blow.
'She fired a laser?' Shikamaru thought as he recovered.
"Jester Spell: El Morgana!" Mihail said.
The Jester then unleashed its El Morgana spell, which is basically a huge wave of energy that fired from underneath the enemy's spot. Luckily for him, Shikamaru saw it coming and dodged. However, he failed to notice that Mihail reappeared behind him
"Don't forget about me!" The Knight laughed
He then threw a roundhouse kick and even though Shikamaru threw up his arms to block, the force of the kick knocked him hard into the wall.
"Now my precious, finish him off!" Mihail said as he commanded his chess demons to finish the demon hunter that was lying on the ground.
Much to his shock however, the pieces did not move at all.
"W…what is happening? Why aren't you moving?" Mihail asked angrily
"It's because they can't, moron. Look at their shadows." Shikamaru said as he got back up and dusted himself.
He then pointed to the shadows of the chess pieces, and Mihail then saw that Shikamaru's shadow was connected to all of their shadows.
"What is this? Why are their shadows connected to you?" The Knight asked
"It's because of my family's jutsu called Kagemane No Jutsu. It allows me to connect my shadow to anyone's shadow and control that person." Shikamaru explained.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! You think that because you've taken control of their shadows that you can take control of them? Don't be so naïve! I can still make them attack from that distance! El Morgana!" Mihail said hysterically before issuing his spell.
But helas, the spell was not unleashed which led to further confusion and shock for the Knight of the Order
"No…No way!" Mihail said.
"Man you're slow. Did you really expect my jutsu to be so simplistic? Kagemane no Jutsu doesn't just connect my shadow onto my shadow, it allows my shadow to basically absorb the other shadows and thus give me absolute control over those shadows. It's basically like a parasite or symbiote." Shikamaru explained.
'However this technique wastes too much chakra and hence why I don't use it much.' The Nara Hunter added mentally.
"I'm ending this now with this: El Morgana!" The black-haired boy said as he repeated the name of the Jester's spell.
"NOOOOOOO!" Mihail yelled as he was engulfed by the attack.
The smoke cleared and then when it cleared, Mihail was still alive. However, the upper half of his uniform was destroyed and he was covered with bruises all over
"Wow, you're a tough guy aren't you?" Shikamaru said as he was amazed that the knight was still alive.
"You son of a bitch…how dare you use my own babies against me? I'll make you pay!" Mihail yelled with venom in his voice.
He snapped his fingers and all of the chess pieces were destroyed.
'He destroyed his own demons…but why?' Shikamaru thought
"Angelo Trigger!" Mihail then yelled out
"A…Angelo Trigger?" Shikamaru repeated
Mihail then radiated in a bright yellow light and then the ground began to shake
'Such immense chakra!' Shikamaru thought as he sensed the chakra coming from Mihail
Meanwhile, Gaara and Kayin were fighting when Kayin suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked away
"What's wrong?" Gaara asked.
"You have some impressive friends if they were able to make a Knight of the Order release their true power." Kayin said with a smirk.
"He's actually releasing his true power against those weaklings? How pathetic." Darrius said with a sneer as he sensed Mihail's Angelo Trigger
When he had finished his transformation, Mihail had turned dark purple with white hair, and green bug wings. He looked at Shikamaru and then laughed hysterically
"What's so funny?" Shikamaru asked.
"Oh it's nothing, it's just that I so feel so much better now." Mihail said with a smile
"His chakra level is so much higher than before master." Shadow told his master
"I know Shadow and that's why I believe we may have no choice but to use that jutsu." Shikamaru whispered back to his devil arm
"Are you serious master? That jutsu is still experimental!" Shadow exclaimed in shock
"I know but we may have to use it to beat this guy." Shikamaru said with a sigh
"Now, let us resume our dance! Fenrirs!" The Knight of Twelve said.
Suddenly, three golden portals appeared in mid-air and out of it came out a legion of black fiery dogs with orange eyes. They landed on the ground and growled
"Great, demonic dogs." Shikamaru said while rolling his eyes
"They aren't just demonic dogs boy. Fenrirs, activate formation beta!" Mihail ordered his dogs.
The dogs then suddenly turned into missiles and fire at Shikamaru
"What the hell? Are they missile or dogs?" Shikamaru exclaimed as he dodged the missiles
"As you can see, these dogs can act as missiles for me or even…mines!" Mihail said.
The dogs then landed near Shikamaru and exploded but the demon hunter used kawarini to dodge the explosion
"And don't think this is all I have boy! Siegfried!" Mihail said
He then materialized demons that resembled a cross between a sword and a reptile. They then flew toward at Shikamaru who dodged them.
"Ok Shadow, we're going to have use it now or else we're through!" Shikamaru told his devil arm.
"Understood." Shadow nodded.
The two then stopped running around and stood side by side. The duo then began to go through a series of hand seals.
'Whatever they are planning, I'm not going to let them do it!' Mihail thought.
He then sent his demons at the duo but then,
"Shadow Fusion!" They both yelled.
Shadow's body then enveloped Shikamaru's and then a blinding light flashed. When it died out, there stood Nara Shikamaru, but his skin pitched black, and his eyes white.
"W…what is that? His skin turned completely black." Mihail asked
"I only have five minutes in this form so I'm going to have to finish this early." Shadow Shikamaru told the Knight in an otherworldly voice
"Finish this early? Are you mad? The fun's just begun!" Mihail chuckled
However, his chuckling was caught short when Shadow Shikamaru appeared in front of him in a flash and unleashed a devastating five kick combo that knocked Mihail into the other side of the room. The Knight got back up with blood on his chin and he then glared at his opponent
"Damn you! Siegfried formation Omega!" Mihail ordered his demons
"Shadow Sickles!" said.
From his upper body flew multiple shadow boomerangs (sonic booms) that destroyed not only the Siegfried demons but also the rest of the demons. Mihail growled in frustration, materialized two broadswords, flew toward Shikamaru and swung at him. To his shock, Shikamaru blocked both swords with his right arm effortlessly
"It's no use. My skin is as hard as diamond in this form. Shadow Ender!" Shikamaru explained before firing a beam of energy from his upper body.
The blast engulfed Mihail and sent him flying back half-burnt up. Mihail got back up with much difficulty and glared at the boy,
"That's not possible! I AM A KNIGHT OF THE ORDER! I CAN'T LOSE!" Mihail screamed in rage
"You can and you will." Shikamaru said coldly
"THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK!" Mihail replied
He then tried to move but he found himself unable to do so.
"W…why can't I move?" The Knight of Twelve asked.
"It's because I connected my shadow to yours while you weren't paying attention, and now…" Shikamaru explained.
Suddenly, a shadow in the form of a hand traveled across Mihail's body, all the way up to his neck
"What is that thing? What are you doing?" Mihail asked frightened
"That thing is another jutsu called Kage Shibari No Jutsu, it's an assassination technique. With this jutsu, you will die." Shikamaru answered
"Wait!" Mihail yelled as realization dawned upon him.
"Too late." Shikamaru said
He then squeezed his hand and a loud SNAP was heard as Mihail's neck was snapped, causing his body to drop dead. Shikamaru sighed before he and Shadow separated as the technique expired. Shikamaru then fell onto his right knee, exhausted.
"Are you alright master?" Shadow asked as he tended to his master.
"I'm fine Shadow, just drained out of chakra." Shikamaru answered
'Chouji…Gaara…I hope you guys will be able to win your battles as well.' Shikamaru thought
(Darrius vs Chouji)
"So that dumbass did lose after all. How pathetic." Darrius said with a sneer
"Looks like you guys are not so tough after all if my friend beat one of you." Chouji chuckled with a smirk as he got back up
"Don't start talking shit because your friend got lucky and beat the weakest of us. You still got me to deal with and so far, you haven't show anything close to my strength." Darrius barked back
"That's because I've been holding back this entire time." Chouji told the Knight of Ten
"Why you fat shit…" Darrius growled angrily
'Sorry Shikamaru but I'm going to have use this pill in order to beat him.' Chouji thought
He then took out the last pill from the pill container…that pill was a red pill
