Yo! Hope everyone's holidays were good and all, but that's not why I'm here! I'm here to update my story, and let some of the battles play out. The next 2-5 chapters are going to be incredibly short compared to my norm because I don't really feel like dragging out most of these matches. But fret not! The torture will end soon, and the real fights will ge underway!
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto. Still working on it, but for now, I got to see the contract of ownership in a glass case. Now the infiltration begins!
Chapter 15: The Ice vs. The Hidden Link. And The Blade Master vs. the Weapon Mistress
Kai was prepared for anything, but wasn't ready for what Haku had in mind. Haku summoned 5 Water Clones, and pulled out a senbon needle. Kai pulled out a kunai, and got into a defensive stance. The Haku's charged him, and he took no time in taking the clones out, and have time to block a potential stab from a senbon needle.
They clashed for a few more moments before they were in a deadlock. "It is at this point where I have gained two key advantages." Haku said. "Indulge me." Kai said. "The first advantage I have is that I am surrounded by water." Haku said. "And you only have one hand to defend yourself." Haku said, using his free hand to do hand signs. Kai smirked, and did his own set of one handed signs. When Haku was done, he looked at Kai with a neutral expression.
"Secret Art, 1000 Needles of Death." Haku said, stomping, and causing the water around him to shoot into the air. Kai was surprised, but ready. "Hikari Style: Shockwave Jutsu!" Kai screamed, stomping and creating a shockwave that sent Haku back, when the water formed ice needles that charged him. He sighed knowing he was gonna be questioned later, but shook it off.
"Hakkeshou: Kaiten!" Kai said, spinning around and generating a chakra barrier that repelled the ice needles. When he stopped, he smirked, and disappeared and kicked Haku into the wall.
Neji, and Hinata were not only surprised, but were also amazed. "Nii-san, how did he do that?" Hinata asked. "Beats me. All I know is that there use to be a man named Kazu Hyuuga in the Village Hidden in the Heavens, where Satoshi lived." Neji said.
"Then how?" "That's like asking how Satoshi was able to administer Jyuuken, except using paralysis instead of hitting Tenketsus." Neji replied. Kai looked over to Haku, who was standing back up. "You want to give it another go?" Kai asked.
He then felt the air drop about 10 degrees, but he paid it no mind. Haku then put his hands together and formed a seal. "I never intended to use this technique so early, but you are faster than most of my opponents." Haku said.
"Secret Art, Crystal Ice Mirrors!" Haku said, surrounding Kai with a barrier of ice mirrors that surrounded him, above, behind, and in front. They were wedged close together, but were far apart enough that he could barely slip by.
Haku then walked into the closest mirror and his image appeared in the rest. "My movement will not be seen. I may not be Lee, but my speed is just as fast in itself." Haku said. Kai knew he was surrounded, but he sighed and was ready to reveal a skill he really shouldn't have had, but thanks to a blood transfusion from Kazu Hyuuga, he gained the weird power that he treasured.
"Well, time to unleash what I really have." He said doing the hand signs, and bringing his hands to his eyes. "sigh BYAKUGAN!!!"! Kai screamed, and his eyes had veins coming out of them, and his vision became that of 359.5 degrees. His blind spot was a small slit around where the back of his head is. Kai flipped his hat around so that his blind spot was covered by the metal plate under his cap.
Neji and Hinata immediately were stunned, along with the rest of the audience who slowly looked over to Neji. Neji was, to say the least, shocked silent. Kai looked around, and knew he was the new interest of the Hyuuga Clan.
Sighing, he brought his attention back to Haku. His eyes looked like ones under the effect of the Byakugan, but one was green and one was blue. What surprised everyone next, was that he didn't go into the regular Jyuuken stance, but instead he went into a stance where his feet were apart, one of his hands was behind his back, while the other was out, facing the palm at the opponent.
"I guess I look like Lee, but this stance seems normal to me, whenever my Byakugan is activated. Why, because I don't use Jyuuken. I switch between crushing blows, and sealing Tenketsus." Kai said. "Guess I am both Lee and Neji fused into one." Kai said, scratching the back of his head.
He then jumped to the right to dodge the senbon needle shooting at his head. He continued jumping around and dodging various needles. He was moving with a grace that was unlike that of a Hyuuga. He then did a matrix style dodge, and caught a senbon before he was hit in the neck.
He came back up, and had an idea. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Kai said, creating at least 15 clones. He screamed scatter, and all planned to get out the barrier. Kai glanced, and kept his eye open for Haku. When he got a glimpse of him, he threw the senbon, and pierced his left arm. (A plan has formulated!) Kai screamed to himself, when Haku went back into his mirrors.
"Luck was against you when you were put against me!" Kai said, creating another Shadow Clone. He gave the clone an incoherent command, and it nodded. It took off, and was then intercepted by Haku, but before he could get to the mirror closest to him, Kai had him in his grasp by his foot, and slammed him on his back. He bounced into the air, before he landed on his feet, hearing Kai say, "You are within my Field of Divination!"
Haku looked up in time to see Kai beginning to press Tenketsus while chanting numbers. "2 palms, 4 palms, 8 palms!" Haku was able to defend against the first few, realizing he was losing strength. "16 palms, 32 palms, 64 palms!" Haku couldn't move to save his life, but Kai wasn't done yet.
"Liftoff!" Kai said, kicking Haku into the air in a style Lee would. "Finisher: Rising Pyro Drill!!" Kai said launching himself into the air like a drill with his arms, and spinning, creating a Fire Drill. He hit Haku head on, and landed before he did and caught him.
He knew he was unconscious, and motioned for the proctor to call the match. "Winner, Kai Hikari!" He said, Kai then slung him over his arm, and did the Body Flicker Jutsu and sat him next to Zabuza, who gave him a approving nod. Kai then sat back down next to Hinata.
"Kai, I didn't know you had the Byakugan!" Tyson said. Kai then gave him a funny look. "How do you know? You were with…" Kai started before he put 2 and 2 together. "Tarogan." They both said at the same time.
Kai sighed, he knew Satoshi was planning something to take him down. Proctor snapped his fingers, and after a few seconds, the board read Tenten vs. Scar. The 16 year old Note of Death had an evil smirk, and was quite content that he got to unleash a little blood early on. He appeared in the arena, along with Tenten.
Begin was announced, and Scar pulled out the two katanas he has on his sides, Kamakiri Maru, and Karugane Maru. Neji and Kai looked at the styles and both concluded in their minds. (Tenten is a dead duck.) (Tenten won't win.)
Tenten pulled out 15 kunai and hurled them masterfully. Scar blocked all the kunai rather lazily, and was then forced back blocking a Zanbato she threw. (What the fuck!?!? She shouldn't be able to throw something like that!) Scar thought to himself, dots replacing his eyes.
Tenten pulled out a scroll, and summoned a what looked like a gun that shot arrows like a gattling gun, along with enough arrows to take down a small army. Scar sweat dropped, and got into a defensive stance. She let lose her arrows of death, and Scar began swinging his swords in a frenzy, blocking the arrows to the best of his ability.
Out of 1000 arrows shot, he was hit once on his shoulder. "Man, your swordsmanship is amazing." Tenten said, pulling out two scrolls. "Twin Rising Dragons!" She said throwing up two scrolls, in a double helix. She jumped through the middle, and started pressing random kanji, and throwing the well placed weapons. Scar sighed, ready.
Scar was quite surprised to say the least. Tenten had thrown 100 shuriken, 75 kunai, 15 katanas, a Arabian Sword, (He had a WTF look on that one, knowing they were no where near India.) 25 scythes, a pair of brass knuckles, and 45 various lances, ranging from a simple spear to something as detailed as a 15th century Naginata.
"What next, the kitchen sink?" He asked out loud, and was replied by a sink clonking him in the head. The other Sound nins sweat dropped, and Scar had Spirals for eyes. He then jumped up, a glare on his face.
"What the hell!?!? I was joking about the sink!" Scar said. Tenten stuck her tongue out and Scar threw a few shuriken at her, only for her to dodge them, and throw another Zanbato. This time, Scar caught it, and brandished it like a weapon he was familiar with.
"Wave of Destruction!" Scar said, swinging the giant blade vertically shooting a wave of purple chakra into Tenten, who was hit head on. Scar was smiling and nodding in content, until a metal pipe caught him in the head.
"Damnit woman, stop doing that!" He said, ducking to avoid a katana that was going to go through his head. He was about to shoot her a glare, but the malice and killer intent she was emitting was making him rather uncomfortable.
He went into a offensive stance, and charged her. She summoned a katana and went straight berserk. He was expecting her to be good, but she was swinging with wild calculation. (If such a thing exists!) Scar thought to himself.
Eventually, he was able to disarm her, and give her various cuts all along her body. She was pretty much cornered, and both of them knew it. "It looks like game. Your are trapped." He said. She then spat in his face, and a vein appeared on his head.
He brought his Bright Blue Kamakiri Maru down, the intent on splitting her in half, until three hands stopped him. 2 were aimed at his chest glowing blue, and one caught his hand. Neji, Kai, and Satoshi were on the field.
"Hey Satoshi, long time no see." Scar said to Satoshi. "Kai and Neji looked like they would have killed you." Satoshi said, looking at the two Byakugan Masters. Scar, knowing he was beat, sheathed both of his blades, and walked away.
"Winner, Scar." Proctor said. He snapped his fingers once Satoshi and the others in the arena got back to the audience area, and the board lit up.
