Swordsman duel

Xxxxxxxxxx

150 year ago Japan

A man with a bald head and a sword on his hip was walking down a dark road. "He is here," thought the man.

A man in a black cloak and a black mask was walking down toward the opposite of the man. "Is there a reason you wanted a challenge?" asked the man.

"You are the one known as the Demon of Kyoto?" asked the Bald headed man. Getting a nod for the cloaked man bald headed man grabbed the hilt of his Katana. "My name is Sanzo Shishio and I challenge you to a duel."

The cloaked figure grabbed his own sword. "I accept," he said as the two rushed each other and in a few minutes the man named Shishio was dead.

In a cliff the armed figure, Ares was looking at the city of Metropolis. Snapping his finger as man walks next to him. "You were beaten by him were you not?" asked Ares. "Why am I asking you, you don't have control over your body."

The rising sun shined on the man reveling it to be Shishio. His eyes were completely white and devoid of all life and control. "What is your command master," said the former samurai.

"I want you to kill Naruto Namikaze also known as Walking Death," said Ares.

"Yes Master," said the swordsman.

Naruto was sitting at a desk in the Daily Planet. Naruto had gotten an internship from the newspaper right when he graduated High school. He passed the collages promotion exam and automatically graduated. The Shadows Clone he knew helped with his achievement. "Hey Naruto," said a black haired reporter named Lois.

"Hey Lois," said Naruto. Naruto had a slight crush on the black haired reporter. ""What's up."

"I was about to go get some lunch and I was wondering if you want to come?" asked Lois. "Clark called out."

"Very well," said the blond.

The two leave the Planet and head out to the city. "So where do you want to eat?" asked Naruto.

"There is a diner close by," said Lois.

The two head there and find a seat.

Superman was patrolling the city when his hearing picked up a disturbance. Using his superior vision he saw what looked like a man in a robe with a sword attacking police station. Flying down he enter the station and sees the cop dead with many more fighting off the once attacker. "Stop," said Superman.

The man turns his head and rushes the man of steel with enough speed to leave afterimages. "You are not worthy of facing me," said Sanzo. "You are not my target."

Superman goes for a flying punch but it is blocked by the man's sword. "What?" asked a shocked Superman.

Sanzo parries the fist making a cut on Superman chest. "I shall have my battle," said Sanzo as he kicks the man of steeling in to the wall.

Lois was eating a salad when Naruto eyes caught something flying toward Lois and by instinct grabbing the thrown object of the air and hide it with no one being the wiser. "Lois let head back," said Naruto. "We don't want to be late."

I am done come on let's head back," said Lois. Naruto paid for the meal and the two left.

Superman was on the watchtower in the meeting room. "I don't know who it was," said Superman. "He was skilled to take out so many officer without a scratch."

Batman walks up. "He used a Katana from the description you gave us," said the Dark Knight. Diana looks at batman. "A Japanese sword used by Samurai and sometimes ninjas.

"Whatever he used, he did kill people," said Superman. "We got to stop him."

The Monitor turns on with a report. "Jason Jones reporting from the docks. An unknown person attacked the docks killing the criminal syndicate with no mercy. The Police got onto the scene and the unknown person charged the officer killing all of them within thirty minutes," said the male reporter.

Come one," said Batman as the team gets in the Javelin and head to Metropolis.

"What have I done to you?" asked a small boy.

"Don't go near him son," said a voice of a father. "He is nothing but a monster.

Why," said the small child .

"I am so glad he failed," said another person.

"I don't understand," said the small voice.

Naruto," said a calm voice.

"Naruto wake up," shouted a female voice.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw Lois shaking him. "Naruto I have been trying to wake you up fdor about thirty minutes.

Naruto felt tears in his eyes. "Are you alright?" asked Lois. "You are crying."

"I just had and unpleasant memory of my village," said the blond.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Lois squeezing his should.

"I am fine, thanks," said Naruto.

"The editor walks up. "Lois and Naruto I have an assignment for you," said the man.

"What is the assignment Mr. White?" asked Naruto.

"There has been report of police officer being killed by a swordsman," said Mr. White. "I want you two to get a report on the matter."

Right on it Perry," said Lois.

"The two head to Lois's car and get to the station.

The League that was on duty appeared at the designated site as Sanzo steps forward. "You are not the one I seek," said the man.

"You have killed people and we will stop you," said Batman.

"You can try," said Sanzo as he unsheathes his blade and in a flash knocks Flash out by hitting him with the pommel.

Batman threw some batarangs but where instantly cut by the swordsman. Diana went for a punch but was blocked by the saber like Superman was earlier. She was kicked into a building.

At the police station Lois was thanking the chief for the statement. Naruto was walking out of the station with Lois. "So what do you think Whiskers?" asked Lois.

Naruto was in deep thought. "I don't know," said the blond. "But I have a feeling we will find out."

They drove to the garage and got out of the car. Naruto eyes flashed and he pushed Lois away from as a small bomb went off below his feet sending him down a floor. "Naruto," said Lois as a shadow punches and carries her out.

"I challenge you to a duel Namikaze. Meet me the dock for our finally show down," said the voice. "You have two day to comply."

The figure jumps out of the garage as Naruto gets back up. "How is he alive?" asked Naruto to himself.

Naruto got to his apartment building and pressed a button. The shelf turns showing an elegent blade of red metal and black sheath. "If it is him I have to perform the ritual," said Naruto.

Naruto sat down and rolled out a piece of paper. Grabbing a brush he start write Kanji with a fluid motion. It took an hour to finish and he went to his next the Sake ritual.

In the building at the dock the undead Samurai was painting as the Justice League and Lois watches. "What is he doing?" asked the reporter.

"He is preparing for his battle," said Batman. "Samurai have to perform several ritual and one is before his duel."

"You are right Batman," said Shishio. "Then you should the next ritual."

The undead warrior takes a small saucier and pour sake into it and takes a sip. "H eis here," said the man as he stands up.

Naruto walks in his Katana on his hip sheathed. "Ho, I am Naruto Namikaze, the Demon of Kyoto. The protector of the innocent and the grim reaper to the wicked," said Naruto with his eyes closed as he performed the ritual greeting before a duel.

"Ho I am Sanzo Shishio, the Dragon of Fuji," said Sanzo. "Let's do this."

The two get in there stances. The two stare each other down and as if a bell sounds they rush each other unsheathing the blade. The warriors clash in a mix of steel.

Naruto jumps back. "I killed you in a duel how are you alive?" asked Naruto blocking a strike.

"I was brought back against my will to kill you in battle," said Sanzo. "I hate to kill innocents but I had no control over my body."

Sanzo spins on his heel and tries to cut Naruto. "Fight it," said Naruto.

"I can't," said Sanzo eye going blank.

. "I see it is a resurrection ablilty. Similar to Edo Tensei but different," thought the blond. "I will put your soul to rest my foe."

Naruto grabs the blade and holds it horizontal. Sanzo drags his sword creating sparks as he rushes the blond.

Naruto start to form after image. "Jissen Kenbu," said Naruto as he reappears and uppercuts his opponent with his blade. Naruto sheaths his blade and walks to the prisoner and cuts them loose. Seeing the body of his enemy he walks over to the fallen Samurai and bows to him for his souls safe passage in the battle.

Lois was sitting with Naruto a day later. "How are you holding up?" she asked.

"I am alright. But you know I am warriors," said Naruto. "How can you be around me when I killed a man?"

"He was dead and you granted him and honorable battle," said Lois. "I don't know much about Samurai but I for know that they would rather fall in a battle then live in shame."

"Thanks," said Naruto. "Lois."

"Now let get some food," said Lois.
