Chapter 16: Nara Shikamaru Vs. Tsuchi Kin!
"Well, lets just move on shall we?" said Hayate as everyones attention returned to the scoreboard. The lights flashed and then the next set of contestents were named, "Nara Shikamaru versus Tsuchi Kin."
The two fighters entered the Arena, and Kin had a wide smile on here face, "Don't think your shadow will get me this time, I'm quite prepared for this."
"How troublesome," Shikamaru sighed as he prepared for the fight. Kin oppened her attack with the needles at Shikamaru, which he dodged easily. He noticed the bell, and recognized the technique. The bell would distract him opening him up for attack. However Kin did something he didn't expect. Another set of Needles had already been thrown. He dodged back to where he was, but only to get trapped. The bell rang loudly in his ear. When he looked around there were a very large number of Kin's.
Damn, she caught me in an illusion with those wires, he thought to himself. She already knows my Jutsu, so a normal attack won't work, she'll probably make her move soon, Then Shikamaru had an Idea. As Kin readied an attack, she froze solid. She gazed around the ground and couldn't see Shikamaru's shadow anywhere.
"What did you do?" yelled Kin.
"I trapped you in my Shadow bind," Lazily said Shikamaru.
"But your shadow is no where near me!" she proclaimed.
"Look at your strings, strings that thin from that hieght don't make a shadow," sure enough Kin saw a shadow following beneath the string, and it was attached to her. The shadow expanded out and SHikamaru stepped back a few steps, "SO how does throwing shuriken until someone falls sound to you?"
"You wouldn't do something that stupid," Kin smiled. The smile quickly faded when Shikamaru pulled out a Shurike, making Kin do the same. HE threw it as hard as he could, and Kin tensed up badly. Though before the Shuriken struck, Shikamaru ducked back as hard and fast as he could. Kin was releaved and relaxed, realizing he didn't have the guts to do it. Unbeknownst to her, Shikamaru dispelled the Jutsu, and just as he did Kin's head hit the wall and knocked her out.
"Winner, Shikamaru," said Hayate in the same voice.
"Women are so troublesome," Shikamaru said Nodding his head and going back to the stands.
"Our next match will be Uzamaki NAruto and Inuzuki Kiba," Hayate said.
Again a short chapter, but the next fight will be longer. I got plans for that one. I'll be using that Jutsu Naruto was working on earlier. R&R.
