Yo!! Shinji is the new OC on the block, and he isn't merely some one arc pony! He plays an important role later on, but for now, let's watch him do battle!!
Chapter 34: Showdown!! Part 6: Shinji's Duel with Destiny!!
Blade pulled the Senbon needle from his mouth, and Shinji twirled his Water Katana. "Prepare to die, Blade!" Shinji said, and he charged Blade, who regarded Shinji with no concern.
Shinji swung with all the power he had, and Blade raised his Senbon. Both weapons clashed, and chakra pulsed out. "I can defeat you using only this Senbon." Blade said. "I bet!!" Shinji said, as he pushed Blade back, and hopped away. "You need help?" Zabuza asked.
"No! He challenged my strength! I will beat him!" Shinji screamed. "That's a load of horseshit." Zabuza said. "What is!?" Shinji screamed, his eyes white. "You actually believing you can beat him." Zabuza said. "Why can't I!?" Shinji screamed, his eyes still white.
"Because he's about as strong as I am, and I know for a fact that you can't take me." Zabuza said, smirking under those bandages. "YOU WANT TO TRY ME, NO EYEBROWS!?" Shinji screamed, and Zabuza glared at him with white eyes.
"YOU WISHING TO DIE, 4 EYES!?" "THAT WAS A LOW BLOW, YOU RE-ANIMATED ZOMBIE!!" Both nin glared at each other, electricity shooting from their eyes, as Blade chuckled. "Ah, the weakling of the team is trying to prove his worth." Blade said, and Shinji turned his attention from Zabuza to Blade. "You want to repeat that!?" Shinji screamed.
"Every team has that one member that isn't the strongest. He is the one who is sacrificed, and left behind." Blade said. "Are you saying that one nin is me?" Shinji asked in a dead calm, his dark brown hair pooling over his eyes.
"Of course! Look at who your teammates are. Zabuza Momochi is the Demon of the Mist. His face in the Bingo Books are under the label A-Rank Rogue Nin. Haku there is a survivor of the Mist Bloodline Purge. His Kekkei Genkai is exclusive to him and him only, and he has mastered it to the point where he can stay on par with someone like Kakashi or Zabuza." Blade then took it upon himself to chuckle.
"And then there's you. You have no recollection of your past, and the only thing you have going for you is that crazy eye power of yours." Blade said. Zabuza was about to retort, but Shinji held his hand up. "It hurts, but he's right."
Zabuza and Haku looked at Shinji, whose hair still in his face.
"He is right. In comparison to my teammates, I would understand why I am the weakling. My teammates aren't some pushovers. But I won't allow you to say that I am so pathetic in comparison to them that I can be dropped when the mission takes a turn for the worse!" Shinji's eyes shot from his hair, as he leveled a determined look. "Prepare yourself. You will regret calling me weak!!" Shinji then released his Water Katana, and charged, trying Taijutsu. Blade chuckled, before he pulled his senbon in front of him, holding it like a sword.
Shinji charged, and jumped into the air. He spun, and tried a roundhouse kick. Blade blocked it with his free hand, and Shinji brought his hands around. "Water Style: Water Pistol Jutsu!" Shinji said, as a powerful barrage of bullets shot out of his finger, hitting Blade, and sending him flying. Shinji landed on his feet, and smirked. "Sent your ass flying bitch! Who's the weakling now!?" Shinji screamed, and smirked.
Zabuza and Haku watched the battle from atop a roof. "Do you think he can win?" Haku asked. "I believe in our loser of a teammate." Zabuza said, and Haku smiled. "I hope he survives. It hurts to lose a brother." Haku said, and Zabuza glanced at him.
"A brother?" Zabuza then chuckled a little. "The life of a Shinobi isn't for you. You are way too nice." Zabuza said, and Haku actually smirked. Both then stopped their conversation when they felt two powerful chakras making their way towards Shinji.
Haku instincfully put his hands into a seal, and the air dropped in degrees. "He doesn't want our help." Zabuza said. "I know, but he would appreciated a one-on-one fight." Haku said.
Shinji felt the air get colder, and he frowned. (They said they wouldn't inerfere!) Shinji thought angrily, as the Demonic Ice Mirrors surrounded him. "Hn. Figures they would-" Shinji was interrupted when one of the mirrors shattered, and a man in a black robe with red clouds on it.
"Akatsuki!?" " Shinji said in surprise, and the man looked at him, crimson eyes looking at him with caution. (Son of a- he's here!?) "Why is the infamous Itachi Uchiha here?" Shinji said, and he noticed another man with orange spikey hair.
"And I see you brought a friend." Shinji said in a smart tone, receiving a 'Hn' from Itachi. Across from the orange haired nin, Blade appeared. "T.K!? You are here!?" Blade screamed. "Akatsuki." T.K, as Blade called him, said.
(Shit! He's back!) Shinji screamed in his mind. "You are fighting them as well?" Itachi asked, sort of. Shinji gave a 'Hn' to prevent a comment he was about to make. "Great to see you. Now let's kill them both." Blade said, as the wind picked up, and their hair played in the wind.
"Oi, Itachi-san. I'm not questioning your power or anything, but I don't think you can take both of them." Shinji said. "I can't." Itachi replied. "So, how are you about teamming up? I may not be anywhere in your league, but I can at least help." Shinji bargained. "Just stay out of my way." Itachi said, causing Shinji to sneer at him. "And you stay out of mine." Both took that as a silent agreement.
Blade and T.K charged at the same time, forcing both nin to assume defensive stances. Blade and T.K swung, and both doubtful allies dodged away. Itachi ran inside the dome, and Shinji nodded to him.
Blade charged Shinji, but instead of getting to attack, Itachi appeared, and kicked him in the chest. Blade flew back, and Shinji turned around, to dodge the kick T.K attempted. Shinji jumped, and ran his hand across one of the mirrors, smirking as he could feel water. He made hand seals, and landed on a mirror.
"Water Style: Water Vortex Jutsu!" A giant blast of water shot towards T.K and Blade, but both managed to get out of the way. What they weren't expecting was for Itachi to appear from nowhere, and clothesline both of them. He tossed them both aside, and pulled out a few kunai, throwing them.
T.K and Blade found that none of them were even remotely close, and one nearly hit Shinji in the foot. "Hey! Watch it, you idiot!!" Shinji screamed, not thinking about who he was talking to. Itachi turned to look at him, and had a chilling sneer-like look.
"Don't worry. You won't be alive anyway." Itachi said, and Shinji took a look at the kunai along the mirrors. The kunai had Exploding Tags on them, and Shinji looked back to see Itachi making handsigns. "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu." Itachi said, and a flurry of fireballs shot in all directions, in slow motion, Shinji had a stunned look, T.K's eyes widened a little, and Blade blinked in surprise. The moment the flames hit the tags, Shinji had white eyes. "SON OF A-" Insert large ass explosion.
As the dust from the attack settled, Shinji clambered out of some debris, cursing. (I should have figured that ass-hole would do something like that!) Shinji seethed in his mind. He felt another chakra, and began to glare.
"Hey, fucktard! You better be happy I'm not dead!" Shinji screamed, but it went from anger to surprise when on the ground wasn't Itachi, but Koji instead. "Hyosuke? What are you doing here?" Shinji muttered to himself. Koji groaned, before his eyes opened a little.
"Hey, Shinji." Shinji looked behind him, to see Zabuza and Haku. "What was that?" Haku asked. "Did you both know that Akatsuki was here?" Shinji asked, and both nin's eyes widened a little. "That's the group Kisame Hoshigaki is part of." Zabuza said.
"You know him?" Shinji asked. "He's a part of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist." Zabuza said, and Shinji's eyes widened. "Oh shit. That sounds bad." Shinji said. "You have no idea." Koji muttered, bringing attention back to him. "I was about to take that giant walking pile of sushi on before a giant explosion engulfed both of us." Koji said, getting to his feet. Koji smirked, and Shinji smirked back.
"Glad to see you are alive." Koji said. "Likewise." Shinji said. "There you are!" Koji and the others turned, to see Sakura, and Shizune there. Before Koji could get a word in, Sakura had him in a hug, and Koji sighed. "I'm not going to die everytime I get outside your peripheral vision." Koji said, as he patted Sakura in the head.
"Hey Hyosuke, you need to get a room." Shinji said, smirking. "You are merely jealous over the fact that you will die a virgin." Koji said, smirking as Shinji's smirk turned into a scowl. "Shinji, knock it off." Zabuza said, and Sakura's eyes widened in fear. "You! You are alive!?" Sakura screamed. "If Haku is alive, what makes you think I wasn't?" Zabuza asked, and looked on amused as she hid behind Koji, who gave Zabuza a wary look.
"Don't worry, I don't plan on hurting your girlfriend." Zabuza said, as Sakura turned the same shade as her hair color. "I would hope so." He neither denied, or confirmed his claim, merely sidestepped it masterfully. "So, you live?" The voice that said that came from the Kazekage Tower, and they all brought their attention to it.
On top of it, stood Xin, looking like he was in a battle. Koji glared at him, and everyone noticed the sudden tension. "So, you dare to show your face?" Koji muttered darkly. Xin smirked, and Koji scowled even fiercer.
"You tried to pit me and Sakura against each other, and now you stroll around as though you own the place?" Koji said, as electricity began to roll off his body. "Why yes. Yes I can. Does that make you mad? Does it make you want to kill me?" Xin said, taunting Koji. Sakura and everyone looked to Koji, who was shaking in anger.
"No, it doesn't make me angry. It makes me FURIOUS!!" Koji screamed, as he leveled an incredibly cold glare at Xin, who merely smirked. Electricity began to fly off him, and they could feel the raw power Koji had. "Because of that little stunt you pulled, I nearly killed someone precious to me. I nearly gave my life. Now, because of those actions, the only judgement you get is DEATH!!" Koji screamed, as lightning flashed off him, his hair had transformed.
The murderous intent Koji had rolling off of him was menacing, and the younger nin felt like they couldn't breathe. Shizune's eyes had widened from the sheer anger Koji had, while Zabuza looked on impassively. Then, the lightning rolling off his body flashed incredibly bright, causing Sakura's Gamble shirt to fly off.
The moment it landed on the ground, the glow Koji emitted went away. His regular clothes had been replaced by a dark blue T-shirt, and his shorts were still the same. On the back of the shirt was a gold phoenix. "What? What is happening?" Sakura asked. Koji didn't look human. He had the ferocity of a wild animal, and he looked feral. With an inhuman roar, he charged, as electric wings shot out of his back. This fight would be amazing.
ShadowRonin: Oh snap!! Koji is back in the picture and he is going to rip Xin a new one. Or is he going to get clobbered? Well, you know the drill.
