Now I bring you the most looked for fight besides Naruto facing Sasuke. Koji and Gale have been waiting to get at each other's throats since the Jounin Exams began. Now, we see them battle!!
Chapter 20: The Hurricane vs. The Storm!! Piercing Claw Fails!?!?
Koji tied his hair back with a dark blue bandana, as Gale smirked. Both stood across from each other as a small breeze blew thru the arena. Their hair danced in the breeze.
"You know, I've been waiting to kick your ass." Koji said. "Funny. Though not in your context, I've been itching to battle you as well." Gale said. "Then it's agreed. We see each other as threats." Koji said, as he eased into his Tiger Fist Stance. "You can say that." Gale said, as he let his right arm fall to the side.
Kankuro nodded, called begin, and both nin jumped the gun. "Wind Scythe Jutsu!!" "Lightning Gun Jutsu!!" Kankuro was barely able to get out of the way to avoid the two attacks that created a giant dust storm.
"Amazing." Kakashi said. "What is?" Naruto asked. "That attack. He used no seals for it." Kakashi said. Sasuke noticed as well. "He's getting stronger." Sasuke said. Shiro also noted that he didn't use any seals.\
"Hey, Shiro-sama. Doesn't Koji's Lightning Gun Jutsu usually take some hand seals on his part to get the chakra needed?" Nekobe asked. "He is improving. He has mastered his favorite Jutsu to the point where he can launch it at will." Shiro said.
When the dust cleared, Koji was in the Tiger Fist Stance, while Gale was standing across from him, his arms crossed against his chest.
"Go!!!" Both screamed at the same time, as Koji shot off like a rocket. Gale shot some Air Missiles, as Koji zoomed around. When Koji was in striking range, he disappeared. Gale's eyes widened.
Koji was right in front of him, but he just vanished. He looked around, but couldn't find Koji. He looked up just in time for the bottom of Koji's sneakers to ram right into his face. Gale flew back, but used his Wind Chakra to shoot up into the air.
(Shit! He's going airborne.) Koji thought to himself, as Gale flew through the sky. Koji began launcing Lightning Guns at Gale, who merely dodged them. He then sharply flew towards Koji, as Koji got into a defensive stance. Gale spun in the air, and Koji blocked an axe kick. Then Gale picked up the pace by throwing more punches and kicks in rapid succession.
Koji managed to block all of them, and jumped back when Gale spun and swung that dagger of his. Koji knew of the Wind Chakra tha could be used to extend the blade without anyone knowing. Koji smirked. "You aren't the only one who can wield weapons of Elemental Destruction." Koji said, pulling out a metal stick that was about 2 feet long.
"Now, let's rock!!!" Koji said, pumping chakra into his weapon, which shot electric rods out of each side making the weapon 8 feet long. Koji began spinning it around his head, and behind himself, before launching at Gale.
"This is pretty good. Both of them are dead even in strength." Sanosuke said, watching as Koji's Lightning Staff clashed with Gale's Wind Dagger. "It is true. That boy is an interesting piece of work." Kakashi said. "He is a warrior at heart." Shiro said. "He will become quite the nin." Nekobe said.
Koji and Gale were zipping around the arena, as their weapons clashed vicously. They ran at each other, and hit their weapons fiercely, causing both weapons to fly into the air. They flew into the audience, and Koji recovered quicker.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Koji created 3 Clones of himself, as Gale charged at him, with a Swirling Sphere ready. "Ultimate Hyosuke Secret Taijutsu!!" Koji said, holding his seal. Gale was two steps away, before Koji smirked. "Transform!!"
The two Koji's disappeared into the dust the transformation jutsu created. Gale swung, and created a wind blade with his swipe. The dust cleared, and both clones were gone. "Huh?" Gale asked. "Super Nutcracker of Death!!" Koji screamed, as he appeared behind Gale, his leg brought back. Gale didn't stand a chance. Koji brought his foot up, and nailed him dead in the crotch.
Everyone who saw that winced in pain. Most of the male shinobi/lords brought their hands down to their crotches, feeling the pain. The kunoichi/ladys all sweat dropped.
"Figures. He would show that he is powerful and a dumbass at the same time." Sanosuke said. "That was….effective…." Kakashi said. "Leave to him to go for a low blow." Shiro said, shaking his head.
"THAT is for pissing Sakura off. Now come on and get up. I didn't kick you that hard." Koji said, smrking. "Did I?" Koji's smirk turned doubtful when Gale was still on the ground, writhing in pain. "You okay?" Koji asked, sweating. "You still able to bear children?" Everyone sweat dropped at that question.
"Does this mean I-" Koji was then blasted into the wall. "You are something else, Hyosuke." Gale said, slowly getting up. "Low blows? I understand a ninja must do whatever it takes to win, but that's a tad extreme." Gale said, as Koji picked himself up. "Just making sure you don't get the chance to create ass-holic babies." Koji said, dusting himself off and fixing his bandana.
"You think you can continue? I owe you a few more lumps." Koji said. "I'm good. I owe you for hitting below the belt." Gale said, as they eased into their stances yet again. "Ready?" Koji asked. "Set." Gale said. "GO!!!" They both screamed, as Koji took off, and Gale flew towards him. Once they were in range, they began throwing punches and kicks in rapid succession.
"They both still have the energy to do this?" Naruto asked. "Amazing." Sanosuke said. "Wow. They both are really good." Sakura said. "Hm. He definitely has gotten stronger since the last time we saw him." Dosu said, as he, Kin, and Zaku watched from atop the arena. "You weren't kidding. He really is something." Zaku said.
"You agree since him and his friend kicked your butts a couple of days ago." Kin said. "Shut up!" Zaku screamed, as Kin smirked at him. "You know, it would be better to watch from down there instead of up here." The three nin turned, and saw Sanosuke there, sitting like he was there all along.
(How!? We never noticed him zip up here.) Zaku thought to himself. "You three must be pretty crappy ninjas. I was up here for almost three seconds before you noticed me. That's three lives down the drain." Sanosuke said. "Shut up." Zaku said.
"And if I were a sick pervert/rapist, the girl here would have been at my mercy." Sanosuke said, smirking at Kin, who blushed. "Now now. What would Koji say?" Dosu said, smirking under his bandages. "He would say not to mess with his 'little sister,' but I would say 'tough, because by the end of the day, she'll be asking to be mine.'" Sanosuke said, smirking in Kin's direction, before poofing away.
"That sounded like a challenge to me." Zaku said. Kin ignored him though, trying really hard to get rid of the blush tha had formed on her face. (Seems like Kin has someone out to call her his own.) Dosu thought to himself, smirking.
Koji managed to find an opening, and punched Gale in the stomach, and added some electric oomph to it. Result: Gale was blasted through the wall. Koji waited for what he thought would be a grand re-entrance. "Hey Dead Last. Come catch me if you can!!" Koji's eyes turned white.
"You bastard! Get your cowardly ass back here!! I'm not done kicking you ass!!!" Koji screamed, as he ran through the hole in the wall.
"I knew it would come to this at some point." Shiro said, as he jumped into the arena, and began making the seals for the Summoning Jutsu. He slammed his hand into the ground, and a giant screem T.V, taking up most of the arena, appeared from the ground. He then summoned three small grey orbs, and they all hovered over him.
"Follow the Desert Warrior and my Idiot Apprentice." He commanded, and the orbs took off. Once the orbs caught up, a picture of Koji giving chase to Gale appeared on the screen.
"You pussy!! Get your ass back here!!" Koji screamed, and the people in the audience sweat dropped.
(1 mile outside the village)
"I'm relieved you followed me Hyosuke. I didn't want to put innocents in danger from my stronger attacks." Gale said. "Agreed. People caught in the cross-fire wouldn't be good." Koji said, bandaging the top of his shoes to prevent sand from getting in them.
"You ready?" Gale asked, as a tornado formed on his right arm. "Bring it!! Piercing Lightning Claw!!" Koji screamed, jumping at the airborn nin. Gale smirked, and his Tornado Arm clashed with the Lightning Claw. Instead of his arm flying back, like Koji thought, his arm didn't even budge. Instead, the force blasted him back into the sand.
(What!?!? My Lightning Claw didn't faze him at all?) Koji thought to himself, as a Tornado mixed with sand sent him flying into the sky. He landed on his back, and slid, his button shirt fell off as he was in the sky. "He isn't playing around anymore." Koji said to himself. "I say we have ourselves a sandstorm." Gale said, as he began to whip up some powerful winds, causing sand to fly everywhere.
Koji brought his hands up to prevent sand from getting in his eyes, but he couldn't prevent the punch that ran into his jaw. He recoiled, and landed on the ground with a thud. "Give up. With this desert storm, you can't possibly win." Gale said. He then used his Wind Jutsu to create a tsunami of sand, which caused Koji to sweatdrop.
He raised his hands up, as the tsunami ran dead into him. When all was done, he was buried in sand. "Fool. I tried to give you a chance to live, but you decided to be buried alive." Gale said, as he began walking away. He felt a serious spike of chakra, but ignored it. He couldn't ignore it when the dunes exploded, and Koji shot out.
Gale was stunned. Koji was standing in front of him, ready for another round. In the time of launching out of the dunes, he managed to slip his button shirt back on. His bandana was blasted off by the force of the electric chakra he released.
His hair came across his eyes, and there were golden streaks along them. His eyes, which were light brown, were now golden in the middle. "What the hell?" Gale muttered to himself. "I'm not done yet." Koji said. They both still had quite a bit of gas, and they both got into stances again. "GO!!!" They both screamed at the same time, and flashed towards each other.
(In the Arena)
By this point, the audience was awed silent. (He was holding back when we battled?) Hinata thought to herself. (No way. He still has this much fight?) Kiba thought to himself. "So, this is what Koji really has, eh? I'm not surprised." Sasuke said. "He has powerful people after him." Sakura said in response to Sasuke's musings.
On top of the arena, where no one could see them, three nin smirked. "He really is improving." Blade said. "Worthy." T.K said. "He's truly a threat now. At this power, he could take either me or Sidestep, even if we used our Beast Spirits and our Soul Weapons." Blade said.
As they were talking, Xin appeared next to them. "It's almost time. With this last plan, I will leave taking the continent over to you three. Sand will never be the same, and I will gauge Koji's power.
" Xin said. "When will we attack?" Blade asked. "Before the final round begins. Synchronize your watches gentlemen. A world is about to be taken over." Xin said, smirking evilly. "Watches? We aren't wearing watches!" Sidestep mentioned, and the other three sweat dropped.
(The desrert)
Koji and Gale were zipping all through the desert, as green and yellow flashes of light clashed intensely, creating sparks. They then flew up into the air, and began clashing even more fiercely. After a few more clashes, Koji flew to the ground, as Gale began trailing him.
"Now it's time!! Mass Shadow Clone Jutsu!!" Koji said, and Gale stood surprised as hundreds and hundreds of clones of Koji surrounded him. "Come on!! Try and take us all on!!" One of the Koji's screamed. "Fine." Gale said, bringing his hands outward.
The Koji's charged, as Gale spun, creating a Sand Tornado. That took out a few clones, but the rest charged. Gale blocked the closest one, and shot an Air Bullet, which hit another 10 clones. He then back flipped, swinging his hand for the Wind Scythe Jutsu, and took out some more clones. He landed, and began sealing at an amazingly fast rate.
"Wind Style: Great Hurricane Jutsu!!" Gale said, as he threw a punch, which created a powerful chakra filled hurricane. As that was happening, he began sealing again, this time making more seals than last time. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!!" Gale said, as he breathed a giant blaze of fire. The combined power of the Fireball Jutsu mixing with the hurricane created a deadly wall of fire, which overtook the whole surrounding area.
When the blaze finally cleared, Gale was standing atop a small area of glass, panting.
(That was a dent in my chakra reserves…) Gale thought to himself. He then brought his hand back and swung, as his Wind Scythe collided with another Lightning Gun, causing an explosion to launch him back. He landed on his feet, about a football field away from Koji. Both were panting, and on their last legs. Both their hair danced as the wind picked up.
Koji then smirked. "I don't know about you, but this is the most fun I've had." Koji said, panting in between words. Gale smirked as well. "I'm inclined to agree with you." Gale said, panting as well. Both of them then stood tall, catching their breaths.
"This is the end of my chakra reserves. Enough for one more push." Koji said, as he brought his right hand out. "Last attack. Winner is the one who is still standing." Gale said, as he formed his Tornado Arm. He looked, and saw Koji forming his Lightning Claw. "That attack won't work." Gale said. "I know. But this one WILL!!!!" Koji screamed, as the electric chakra on his hand burst powerfully, forming what looked like a wolf's head.
Gale smirked, and took a step forward, as Koji crouched. At the same time, as though on a practiced command, Koji shot forward, running as fast as he could, while Gale flew towards him. Koji's electric fist howled powerfully, and Gale's tornado compressed towards his hand.
"Lightning Wolf Claw!!!!" "Tornado Thrust!!!!" Both attacks hit dead on each other.
The force of the two attacks caused a tornado to form around them, which shot electricity out in frenzied blasts. Both nin screamed their war cries, as they pressed harder, causing the tornado to blast more wind, and electricity to zap the skies.
This power struggle lasted for a few more seconds, before the tornado burst into an electric storm of death, and created a giant explosion, shooting Koji and Gale away. Koji rolled on the ground, and landed facing upwards, and Gale landed on his back.
Koji's necklace was tangled in his hair, while Gale's Headband, originally tied on a piece of his clothes, was gone. Both were sweating, tired, panting, and out of chakra. Then, both of them began to chuckle. "I can't move my body at all." Gale said. "I can stand, but I can't say it will be long. Just enough to be declared winner." Koji said, rising to his feet very slowly. "Hn. Bastard. That was supposed to defeat you." Gale said.
"Not enough, wind bag. I won't be sto-" Koji started, before his whole body froze. (Ng. Not now. I used too much of my electric chakra…) Koji thought to himself. His body stood rigid, and he realized he had paralyzed his muscles from overuse of electric chakra. (Not again…) Koji thought to himself, as he fell face first into the ground. "Ha. You over used your chakra." Gale said, as he sighed.
"So did I, though. I can't say I'm mad that you won though. You gave me one hell of a fight. I did my best though." Gale said. "And that's what's all that matters." Gale turned his head, a little, and saw Garra walking towards them. "When did you get here, Kazekage-sama?" Gale asked.
"Around the time Koji passed out from chakra exhaustion." Gaara said, as he created two Sand Sleds. He picked Gale up and placed him on one, while his sand placed Koji on the other. "You fought honorably. It was a very close fight." Gaara said, as he handed Gale his headband. "Hn. I guess it's true there's always someone stronger than you in the world." Gale said, sighing.
"That's a little hard to swallow though. I was voted one to defeat from Suna. And here I am, defeated by someone who doesn't have any attachments to a village." Gale said, closing his eyes. "He isn't some run of the mill wanderer. He has been trained by one of the Cloud villages finest, all for the sake of standing a chance against a force that wishes to kill him." Gaara said. "Hn." Gale replied.
(The arena)
When Gaara returned, Medic Nins came to take Koji and Gale away. Everyone was cheering loudly for the fight that just ended. Both nin were incredible, and fought real hard to win. "He's become one to beat." Sasuke said, smirking. "I agree! I want a shot at him now!" Naruto said, smirking.
Shinji, who stood in the shadows, adjusted his glasses. (This is an interesting deveopment. If he exhibits this kind of power, I may not be abe to defeat him.) He thought to himself. The board lit up, and Shinji brought his attention back to the arena. "Hm. Seems like it's my turn again." Shinji said, disappearing into the shadows. The board read Shinji vs. Sanosuke Kazeyama.
ShadowRonin: Yep. The most anticipated rivalry has ended with Koji coming out on top. But he didn't win by leaps and bounds. It was down to his 'will not die' will. But that's the way things go sometimes. Now for the rest of the fights, who will win? And who will face who? Find out!!
