Megatronus here and i am sorry for such a late update, i have been sidetracked with the new stories that i have made, also Naruto; TMAS is Offically discontinued as i can not fallow the requests from the orignal author.
so i did my own take on it. The Renegade is my version down how i wanted. though i my writing has not been happening lately due to work.
now lets AMP IT UP!
standing up on the balcony over looking the rest of the compition, Zenaku turned his gaze from the match between Shino vs. Zaku of sound, to the red head standing on the other end of the areana. to him there was just something the drew him to her, for he yet understand that feeling.
"Kakashi, i will be leaving. notify me once this part of the exam is over." said the blonde as he walked toward the exit, only to be stopped by the brunette sensei of team 8. "please move."
getting a glare from the older female, who still did not move from her spot drew a sigh from the demon vessal.
"you really need to grow up, blame me for the defeat of you bash student, who i gave the chance of forfiting to is not my fault only his for his blighten disregruad for comensence, that was out down by his blinding pride and ego." said Zenaku as he pushed her out of the way.
"I know what you are, demon." came the whisper from the woman, as she notice the slight pause in his step.
"and you are fool to believe such, after all if I am this demon you claim, then Anko-nee-chan is the traitor you and the rest of this village thinks she is." said zenaku as he continued his present corse.
turning around Kurenia was greeted to sight of her closest friend; Anko Mitarashi, who had the look of hurt on her face, seeing her one friend acting blind and arrogent to others based on what the villages' thought.
"So thats what you think? that just for what he hold makes him a demon, then what about me, my first sensei was a traitor does that make me one too?" asked the snake charmer to the Genjutsu Mistress. not bothering for an answer Anko left the sence, leaving behind the stun jonin.
-break-
sitting on top of the tower, zenaku could feel the crisp winds brushing his face, as he enjoyed the afternoon, as he looked over the Forest of Death.
"hmm." he grunted out as he lifted the flute dagger to his lips.
-Zenaku's theme-
all over the forest wild animals stopped to listen the song that filled the air the night before. with each not the wind rolled and swayed to the sound of the song carring it as far as it could throughout the forest.
when the song finally came to an end, Zenaku stood up from his place to return back to the areana of the second Exam, as he left he notice a glimpse of crimson hair that shimmerd away form his sight. leaving him to give a low growle. "mmmh."
-back with the compeditors.-
as Zenaku stood in line with the other winners of the preliminaries. which happened to be Sasuke Uchiha, Gaara No Sabaku, Neji Hyuuga, Temari No Sabaku, Kankuro No Sabaku, Shikamaru Nara, Shino Aburame, Dosu Kintsu, and Naruto Uzumaki as the final competitors for the final exam.
àfter listening to the Old man give his speech about how these exams were created to promote peace between the villages, this lead Zenaku to scoff at it since in was human nature to fight and make war, over the thousands of years if not millions of years, the human race lived on nothing but war, be it for land, food, safety, leadership, and whole lot of other things that made the him wish he was still a demonic, reason being he had was he only fought for the survivial of his own being.
"-ow. we will start with the drawing of numbers to see who shall fight who, Anko please begin." said the old man.
"Right, Now once you get your number anounce it so may write it down to see you you are matched up against."
"troublesome. 6"
"fate has given me, 2"
"hn, 4"
"grr... 3" said Gaara.
"I. Zen-aruto has 1"
"Shino Abunrame as 7"
"Temari Sabaku, 5" "troublesome now i have to fight a woman again?"
"Dosu of sound. 9."
"I, Kankuro No Sabaku has 8."
"alright now everyone please Direct you attetion to the screen to see you match up." said Anko as she wave to the screen.
MATCH 1: NARUTO UZUMAKI VS. NEJI HYUUGA.
MATCH 2: SASUKE UCHIHA VS. GAARA NO SABAKU.
MATCH 3: TEMARI NO SABAKU VS. SHIKAMARU NARA.
MATCH 4: SHINO ABURAME VS. KANKURO NO SABAKU.
DOSU KINTSU WILL MOVE ON
THE FIGHT THE WINNER OF THE FOURTH MATCH.
"eh, so i fight fate's bitch, so not cool." said zenaku as he turn to leave. until he heard the third say they had a month to prepare for the final exam. "this should be fun, hadnt had a challenge in several millennia."
with that Zenaku used his Shadow Step (first episode of Zenaku in wild force.) ariving in the middle of the street a little ways from his apartment. only to be blocked by a mob of civilians and shinobi forces. feeling a feral grin grown on his face, Zenaku could not help but feel his blood lust grow.
"I should warn you, leave now and live... or stay and die." said Zenaku as he reached slowly to his blade on his back, which caused many shinobi to tense as they saw the curved black blade. seeing that no one was leaving zenaku could only give a irriated sigh as he took a step forward. "not leaving I see, then tonight the moon shall be bathed in all your blood."
rushing forward while using his shadow step ablity, Zenaku's physical form could only be seen for a short few seconds as he redirected his speed, repeating this over and over, many of the civilians and lower ranked shinobi were left on the ground bleeding or already dead, the few that remaind saw the blackish purple blur jump high into the sky, taking physical form with a full blood red moon behind him was all they saw before the loving embrace of death took hold of them.
-later the evening-
off in the distance Zenaku could hear the melody of his tune being play from across the village, he in turned replied to the tune with his own.
-other side of the village-
a young red haired woman was playing flute, her tune had a longing sound until she heard a reply which caused a small smile to appear on her face as her tune slowly tuned to fulfilment.
all over the village, the resedants listened to the sound of two flutes being played like the sound of two wolves sing to one another over a great distance.
-with Gaara-
looking up to the moon while listening to the songs being played, gaara usually on nights like these would feel the blood lust raging within him, but for once he felt at peace, as he felt the raging voice of his 'mother' become silent and rested as he listened to the song of the flutes.
but his peace did not last as one of the competitors landed on the other end of the roof.
"once i kill you i will move up in the compition." said the masked sound genin.
"your funeral, on night like this, mother gets... thursty." with that gaara could once again feel his 'mother's' voice telling him to kill the fool. to which he complied willingly.
as the slow and painful death of the sound genin dosu kintsu happend, it did not disturb the peaceful sound being played over the both end of the village.
