There is an uncomfortable silence between Death Gun and Shin. Death Gun just looked at Shin, while Shin is glaring at Death Gun slightly.
"I repeat once again. Are you that person?"
Shin tried to calm himself down as much as he can and asked.
"What do you mean by 'that person'? I don't understand what are you trying to ask? Who are you anyway?"
"You really don't understand?"
Shin just nod his head slowly.
"Then that's fine. But whether you are that person or just an imitator. I will kill you" said Death Gun before walking away. When Death Gun passed him, Shin's eyes widen in rage and clutch his knuckle tightly.
'Why can I recall him? He is definitely one of those three. But it's been 2 years already, so I can't recall their face. Kuso, I am so frustrate now' thought Shin angrily and punchs the wall.
Mana decided to approach Shin and asked if he was ok.
"Are you alright? Who is that guy?"
Shin turned his head to Mana and said.
"Remember this Mana. If you ever meet the person with black cloak and a skeleton mask. Stay away from him as far as possible" said Shin seriously.
Mana just blinked in surprise at the statement. That moment Sinon decided to walk to him.
"You don't look like you are tired. What's with your expression?" asked Sinon.
Shin turned to Sinon and warned her also.
"You too, Sinon. Don't ever trying to face the guy in skeleton mask and black cape. He is Death Gun. The one that could truly kill you IRL. No matter how sure you are that you can win. Never approached or try to shoot him down. Not only you will failed, but he will turn his attention to you as well"
Sinon just turned her head away and said.
"I don't need you to worry about me. Just get to the-"
But she was interrupted by Shin's shout.
"That is not a joke! If you want to live you will listen to my warning"
Sinon and Mana looked surprise at Shin. He never been this serious before, just joke around and being a teme.
Then he was transported away to his second match.

Round 2
Battlefield

Shin appeared at the battlefield and began to recall the face of Death Gun. His blood began to boil by just the memory. The bullets began to head at him with great speed. Shin's eyes were shadowed by the shadow and he just took out his photon sword and on instinct deflected all the bullets.
"Death Gun..." muttered Shin walked slowly to his opponent.
His opponent continued to shoot at him, but no use. All the bullets were deflected, Shin hasn't been injured even once.
"Death...Gun"
Shin continued to move to his opponent with the hair still shadowing his eyes. Then he looked up and his eyes gleamed dangerously. He disappeared from his place and appeared right in front of his opponent. His opponent was to shock to say anything. He could only look into those merciless eyes of Shin.
"Eliminate" said Shin emotionlessly and used his photon sword and took off the opponent's head. Then he looked down at the headless avatar of his avatar with the same expression.

Round 4
Battlefield

While his opponent was hiding and tried to ambush his opponent. Shin was walking slowly to his opponent with a cold smirk on his face. His opponent began to fire at Shin upon seeing his target is near him. Shin smirking a cold smirk the whole time and deflecting the bullets. His opponent decide to throw a grenade at Shin. Before the grenade managed to explode Shin jumps up in the air and deflect the grenade to his opponent. His opponent was shocked at that action and the grenade detonate right in front of him.

At the starter area

People looked at the fights on the screens. They looked at the screen of Shin's battle and noticed that he was not injured, not even once. Sinon, Spiegel and Mana watching Shin's match very intently.
"He was not injured even once. His skills with the sword is mind blowing" said Mana looking at the match.
"Not only that, he didn't even use his gun. What the heck is that guy to possess such skills?" asked Spiegel very impressed by Shin's performance.
Sinon just look at the match in silence and thought.
'His strength. That is the strength beyond virtual world. I want to win against him so badly now. If I can win against such a strong guy, then maybe I can even surpass Naruto-san. Maybe then I can overcome my past and live a normal life'
"He is in the semifinal already. If you want to face him, you need to win as well. Good luck, Sinon" said Spiegel and wish her luck.

Round 5
Battlefield

Sinon is on the roof of one building. She opened her monocular on the Hecate and waited for her opponent to show himself. She aimed her rifle on the road below.
'My opponent is Stinger. He uses an FN SCAR carbine rifle as his main weapon. Since I am a sniper, if he gets close to me, I'll have no chance. But on this map, if he wants to get close to me, he has to pass through there. Then I'll finished him off'
Sinon prepared to snipe then she remembered Shin's matches.
'He said something that when on battlefield he is a completely different person. It seems I begin to understand what he means'
Suddenly, Sinin heard a sound and shoot from her Hecate. But she was fooled by her opponent. Sinon looked surprised at that. Suddenly, a military car appeared and began to move ahead.
'So that's it. He wanted me to watered my first shot to make me expose my position and used that chance to get close to me'
Sinon quickly recharge her rifle and aimed it at the window of the car.
'But I can still saw the first bullet's path.
My second shot will be even more accurate'
With Sinon opened fire and shot through the window, killing the player inside as well. The car slammed into the building in front of it and explodes. Then the panel appeared that write.
"Congratulations, Sinon wins"
With that Sinon was transport to the preparing area. She looked up at the panel that write.
"Sinon vs Shin
Field: Intercontinental highway"
Sinon narrowed her eyes in determination and waited for the time to pass.

Final round
Battlefield

Sinon just appeared to the battlefield. She looked around to determine where Shin will appear. Then she ran inside the bus and waited for her target to appear.
'He will certainly trying to get close to me unnoticed, like others. But his reaction time in dodging bullets surpass any one that I know, but the shot of Hecate is different. It is far accurate and faster than other weapons. My chance is the first shot, when he doesn't know my location' thought Sinon and prepared to snipe her target when he will appear. She looked into the monocular ahead and thought
'This time... This time if I manage defeat such a strong person maybe..'
Far ahead of Sinon location, Shin just walked ahead to her with the hair shadowed his eyes. Sinon looked through her monocular and thought incredulously.
'Does he think he can dodge my bullets whenever he wants?'
Shin continued to move to her location. Sinon began to shoot at him through her Hecate. Shin saw the bullets coming at him clearly and moved his head aside to dodge. Sinon was shocked at that action.
'How? How can he dodge my shot from Hecate easily like that?'
She began to fire at him multiple times. This time Shin just walked forward and all the bullets just missed him with incredible way. Sinon began to feel shock even more.
'Who the heck is he? Does he not fear death at all? How can I win against such a person?'
Sinon began to pant heavily. Shin decided to look up and showed his face. That was not the face of Hitokiri Battousai, but the face of Naruto Yuuki Uzumaki. Sinon began to shot more from Hecate, but all the shots missed as she has lost her calm expression. Shin just stood there and looked at her location the whole time. The more she shoots the more she missed. And it began to frustrate her. She decided to step out from her hiding place to confront Shin.
"Why? Why can't I shoot you? Why all my shots missed you?" shouted Sinon glaring daggers at Shin.
"The reason is simple. Deep in your heart, you began to care for me. That's why you can't shoot at me Sinon, no Shino-chan" said Shin looking at Sinon's face.
Sinon's eyes began to widen hearing her real name was called by this person.
"How the heck do you know my real name? And what nonsense are you talking about? Me? Caring for you?" shouted Sinon pointing at Shin.
"Anyway if it were an hours ago, I will accepted to fight you seriously. But the situation has changed, I just want to get to main tournament. I don't want to fight you here. As for how do I know your real name? I think you already have realized by yourself who I am by the way I call you right?" said Shin walking slowly to Sinon.
Sinon recalled the only person called her Shino-chan was Naruto. She widen her eyes and muttered.
"Naruto... Why are you in GGO? Why didn't you tell that you log in?"
Shin just nod his head in affirmative and said.
"My identity should remain a secret. It's a long story why I logged in GGO. For short, I was invited her by Death Gun, in order to be killed by him. Also I am here to correct my past mistake" answered Shin.
"Why?... Why don't you want to fight me?... Am I so weak that you not even bother to consider fighting?" shouted Sinon with tears running down her eyes.
"No, I know you are strong Shino-chan. The reason is that you are my precious friend as well. And I don't want to hurt my precious people even in the virtual game" said Shin and smiling softly at her.
"I want to become strong. I want to make Sinon stronger than you in SAO, that's why I need to fight stronger people to become stronger. But no matter how strong I become, your strength just overwhelmed mine with ease. How do you manage to obtain such strength? I need it in order overcome my bloody past!" shouted Sinib desperately.
Shin's eyes was shadowed by his hair again.
"This strength has a very high cost. Hundreds of people in SAO was dead for me to obtain this strength. This strength I am possesses is cursed Shino-chan. Because of this strength I have a split personality. Myself and Hitokiri Battousai. I told you already Shino-chan, true strength come when you are protecting the precious people to you" said Shin.
"I don't have any precious people. I am alone my whole life. But even so I will become stronger" said Sinon with determination.
Shin just sigh then took out his Hades. Sinon seeing that and prepared to fight. But Shin just raised his hand to tell her calm down. He took out the bullet and showed Sinon then said.
"I will give you one more chance to defeat me. This time concentrate all your concentration on this shot. We will do it duel-style. We'll move ten meters away and you'll ready your rifle and me my sword. I will toss this bullet up and when it hits the ground, the match begins. How does that sound?"
Sinon just blinked her eyes and replied.
"Listen... At a mere ten meters. Even you won't be able to dodge the shot from this Hecate. At this range, it has 100% hit rate"
Shin just smirked at her and said.
"We won't know until we try"
Sinon just looked at his confident face and thought.
'Does he actually some kind of plan? I want to see what is it no matter what'
"Ok, I accept that challenge. We can finishes things this way" said Sinon.
With that Shin began to move away from her to a certain distance. Sinon recharged her rifle and aimed at Shin. Shin showed the bullet and tossed it in the air. Then he took out his photon sword and stood in a stance. As the bullet hits the ground, Sinon opened fire from her Hecate. Shin pointed the tip of his sword to the ground and muttered.
"Hiten Mitsurugi ryuu: Doryusen "
With that the earthen debris created by Doryusen blow the bullet of Sinon away with knocking force.
"T-that... That just impossible!" muttered Sinon and falling in her knees in shock.
She snapped out of her shock and took out her gun from behind. Suddenly, she felt the sword on her neck. Shin was standing behind her holding her waist.
"I was aiming at your leg. How do you know that I will fire there?" asked Sinon.
"Would you believe me if I said I could see where the bullet was fired clearly" said Shin and turned her around so that he could look at her face.
'He did not predicted where I will shot. But could see it clearly? How can that even be possible? He really deserve to be a legend. This strength is the strength that far surpass the virtual world' thought Sinon at shock and in awe
"If you are this strong? That what makes you so work up?" asked Sinon silently.
"Even the strongest afraid of death Shino-chan. I warned you about the skeleton mask guy,because he could kill for real. Of course it is a trick, but that doesn't change the fact that he could kill you in real life through the game. He is after me. I am the his main target. That's why I wanted you to stay away from him as far as possible" said Shin leaned his forehead to her and looked deeply in her eyes. Sinon just blushed, but also looked into his ocean eyes.
"Listen, Shino-chan. Sinon and you are one and the same. You must believe in yourself. Sinon is not strong enough to defeat me because she is missing a part of her. When you become complete, by accepting the fact that you are one and the same. You will become much stronger than you are now" said Shin touching her chin gently. Sinon just looked at him silently. Then he backed away and said.
"On the main tournament, don't approach me. I will be very different from what I know. On the main tournament, Hitokiri Battousai will be officially revive" said Shin emotionlessly and his eyes gleaming dangerously.
Sinon just widen her eyes at the change of his expression and eyes. Shin's face return to normal and he said grinning.
"Well, I win the duel. So you should forfeit now"
Sinon blinked then glaring daggers at Shin. She pointed her finger at Shin and declared.
"I won't lose anymore. So prepare yourself"
With that she opened the resign menu and surrendered.
At the starter area
People saw who was the winner and felt shock. Someone had managed to win against Hecate. Mana smirked at this and said.
"I can't wait to face you on the battlefield at the main tournament Shin-san. Only by defeating you, I will be satisfied"
Far from them, Death Gun watched the match and witnessed the performance of Doryusen.
'There is no mistake now. He is definitely Hitokiri Battousai. The main tournament will be your grave. Hahahaha'
