Yo!! Sorry about the long update time. College Application time is drawing near, and I want to have a future, unlike my bastard friend, who is getting paid to go to IIT, like a douchebag. Oh well, life is good to those who are 'normal', and not intellectually gifted. Now, Read, review, and don't mind my rant.
Chapter 23: The Great Kunoichi Battle!! A Battle with the Omniscient, and Honor Among Sound Nins!?!?
Hinata began by charging at Temari, and throwing a few kunai at her. Temari merely dodged the attacks, but was surprised to see Hinata appear next to her, and palm thrust her into the wall. Temari pulled her fan out, and whacked Hinata over the head with it. (I'm almost inclined to scream 'BAKA!!!' but that wouldn't be nice to Hinata.)
Hinata slid on the ground, before she was hit by a sharp blast of wind form Temari's fan, one moon showing. "Geez! She's doing the 'Moon Thing' again." Naruto said, causing Satoshi to laugh. Temari began running forward, and sent a mini tornado at Hinata, who got out of the way of the attack, and created 3 Shadow Clones, and charged again.
Temari revealed the second moon, and sent air blades at the clones and the real one, who all did Substitution Jutsus with various pieces of debris. (What!? All five of them did a Substitution!?) Temari thought to herself, before one of them dropped from the sky, and then was replaced by a rock. (What!?) Temari thought to herself, knocking the rock away, and then was surprised to see the same 5 Hinata's appear in front of her, preparing for a Joint Attack.
"NOW!!" One of them said, palm thrusting Temari in the chest, causing her to slide along the ground, and then another appeared, tripped her backwards, and punted her into the air like a football. She flew right into the real Hinata who caught her, and did a falling pile driver, creating a giant dent into the ground. Hinata jumped out the large crater, and sighed.
(Hinata is really starting to become like Satoshi. She practically radiates the confidence he's always had. Satoshi broke her from her shell.) Kiba thought to himself. "Hinata's finally showing her stuff." Shino said, a smile hidden behind his coat. Everyone was surprised to see Temari shoot out of the crater, on her fan, and land without a thud.
"Alright Hinata, I'll admit I gave you less credit than you deserve. But now, it's for real!!" Temari said, making hand signs, and grabbing her fan. "Summoning Wind Style: Wind Clones Jutsu!" Temari screamed, ramming her fan into the ground, causing 20 green clones, wielding various weapons, to appear.
Satoshi nearly choked on a piece of candy he was eating before his eyes went white, and he glared at Naruto. "Damnit Naruto!!! You let her get into my manga stash again!!!" Satoshi screamed, waving his arms. "How did you know?" Naruto asked, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "Because that particular attack was similar to one that a character from one of said manga used!!!" Satoshi screamed.
"So, it's okay for you to use those comics for attack inspiration, but no one else can?" Tyson asked, smirking at the sweat drop that Satoshi created. "I never said that! It's just that I hate when people sneak into my manga collection!" Satoshi said, defending himself. "Yeah, sure. Everyone in the Sun Village knows you use manga to come up with new moves." Tyson said, earning a whack to the back of the head from Satoshi. "Shut up. They're about to continue!" Kiba screamed, looking in the arena.
Hinata looked and counted 20 Wind Clones, and sort of growled to herself. (I wasn't intending on using this so early in the game, but if I want to win, I have no choice.) Hinata said, making a sign with her hand, and touching a seal on her shoulder. Her whole body was then covered with weird markings and demonic seals before they disappeared, and a gust of wind shook the stadium.
"Woah! What was that!?" Naruto screamed, and they all glanced at Satoshi, but Tyson was glaring instead. "You let her have one of your Gravity Seals!?" Tyson screamed, and Satoshi shrugged. "She wanted to get stronger, and she pestered me until I agreed. It's not like mine, which thrives on demonic chakra, but hers isn't as strong, and requires a little more chakra." Satoshi explained. Back in the arena, Hinata was moving her arms around to get a feel about how much speed she had gained.
"Hey, you ready?" Temari screamed. "Now I am!" Hinata said, getting into her stance. Temari commanded the clones to charge, and they rushed her. Hinata merely stood in her stance, and smirked before she disappeared. Then, wind clones were being destroyed right in front of her eyes. The audience were stunned, and the other nin who were competing looked like they saw a ghost.
(She's gotten way faster!) Naruto thought to himself. (No way! She's faster than anyone that I've ever seen save Satoshi!) Tyson thought to himself. (Wow. Hinata is this fast? I'll have to be careful, or else she'll get me.) Satoshi thought to himself, seeing Hinata appear behind Temari with a kunai to her throat. (Hmm. That Satoshi Musashi is an interesting person. If he can do that to Hinata, how strong is he himself?) Gaara thought to himself. Temari realized it was pointless to fight on, so she admitted defeat.
"Winner, Hinata Musashi!" Baki announced, and the audience roared with applause. "THAT WAS AMAZING HINATA!!" Kiba screamed. "YOU KICK ASS HINATA!!!" Naruto screamed. Hinata blushed slightly from the recognition from her friends, and smiled warmly when Satoshi gave her a thumbs up and nodded.
"Now, Sakura Haruno and Gaara." Baki said, and Sakura jumped down, while Gaara merely appeared in his Sand Transportation Jutsu. "Now Begin!" Baki commanded, and got the hell out of there. I mean, it's Gaara in there.
Sakura was ready for the Sand Demon, but he was merely standing there, arms crossed, and a neutral look on his face. Sakura sweat dropped. (I forgot, no moving for him.) Sakura said, charging. Gaara merely moved his hand a little, and Sand came from his gourd. She began running across the sand, before it rose like a pillar, sending her into the air.
Technically, Sakura should have come back down to Earth, but his sand kept knocking her back into the sky, and it was sort of funny how she just bounced up and down from the blows. After a while, Gaara allowed her to land, but she landed hard. "That's all you got? Then give up. This is no fun for me at all. Your weak. There's only one person I wish to fight." Gaara said, turning to Satoshi and Naruto, who both smirked, and looked right back, but then he noticed that Naruto had a scared look.
He looked confused, and then turned his attention to Sakura, who had what looked like the kanji for inner on her head. "…Weak…did you say…I'm WEAK!?!?!?!" Sakura screamed, jumping up, and glaring at Gaara with white eyes. "Weird, she looks a little more violent." Satoshi said, and Naruto sweated.
"She just used her Inner Persona Jutsu. She's now more violent than our own Sakura." Naruto said, and Satoshi looked on with intrigue. "YOU THINK I'M WEAK BEACH BOY!?!?! I'LL SNAP YOUR ASS IN HALF LIKE A TREE!!!!" She screamed, stomping her foot, and creating a crater that went about 13 feet into the ground. Gaara looked on unintimidated. "That supposed to scare me?" Gaara asked. Sakura growled, and charged. Gaara brought his Sand Shield up, but one punch blew it away.
Instead of looking worried, Gaara merely raised an eyebrow, and pissed Sakura off even more by not acknowledging her breaking his Shield. She brought another fist back with the intent of taking his head off, but he caught her hand, and held her into the air. "Now, Sand Cross." Gaara said, and his sand held Sakura into the air, her arms and legs tied with sand.
(Such a religious move for someone like Gaara.) Kakashi thought to himself. "Now, Sand Crusher." Gaara said, making the Sand Cross shoot up, and fly back down, with enough force to kill her. At the last second she screamed that she quit, and Gaara stopped the Cross before it killed her. Gaara released her, and she hit the ground, shivering and crying. Naruto jumped down, and picked her up.
"It's okay Sakura, you're okay." Naruto said, jumping back into the audience. Gaara Sand Transported back to the little area him and Kankuro were sitting at. "You handled that fairly well Gaara." Kankuro said, and Gaara looked at him. "No point in killing her. Would have lead to a pointless situation. I want Satoshi and Naruto." Gaara said.
"Now, will Ino Yamanaka and Tyson Kusanagi come to the arena." Baki announced, and Ino walked down, while Tyson jumped off the rail and landed in the arena, making sure his jacket stayed on. Ino merely glanced at him, before making hand signs, and activation her Mind Reader Jutsu. Begin was called, and Ino focused her mind on Tyson, who was mentally talking shit.
(Finally! I can tear that blond slut's hair out of her hair, and shove it down her throat, and make her regret hitting me like that!) Of course, those insults weren't meant to be heard. Tyson was blowing some steam off, and calming himself before he said something stupid. Sadly, Ino thought he meant it, and a black aura of killer intent blazed from her body.
"Funny, shouldn't Tyson be emitting the killing intent instead of Ino?" Naruto joked. Tyson sweat dropped, and shivered when he saw the red gleam in her eyes. "Okay, let's go!" Tyson said, charging, and disappearing from view. Ino merely sidestepped, and Tyson zipped right by her. (The hell!?!? She dodged my attack!? But she's a girl!!) Tyson thought to himself, and noticed that Ino glared at him even harder than before.
(What's with her?) Tyson thought, before he pulled out a few kunai and threw them. Ino dodged all of them, but one managed to clip her, and her hair was hit, slicing her ponytail down to her shoulders. All the girls in the arena gasped, and the guys knew that he had brought the apocalypse. (What's with her? So what if she lost a nice big chunk of her…snigger hair.) Tyson thought to himself, and his face was one of someone who was trying his best not to laugh, but he couldn't hold it, and laughed out loud.
He rolled on the ground, laughing his ass off, and all the males in the arena shuddered visibly. Tyson eventually calmed down, and noticed that the entire female populace had a death glare aimed straight at him, and Ino had what looked like a pure Satanic look on her face. (Poor fool, he's going to get wasted!) Satoshi and Naruto thought to themselves.
Tyson was about to do something to defend himself, but Ino ran her foot into Tyson's nuts yet again, and he hit the ground writhing in pain. But Ino lifted him up, and kicked him again, but this time, he fell backwards, and she stomped on them. Every, and I mean EVERY, male in the audience was holding their crotches in pain, and this is from merely watching this happen.
"Baki, I demand you call match now! He's never…what!?!?!" Ino screamed. Tyson was slowly getting back up, a malevolent aura surrounding him. (She goes downstairs and stomps on my jewels when I'm down. I won't allow the same girl to do that twice. SHE'S DEAD!!!!) Tyson was seeing red, and I mean pure red. His eyes were like targets, and Ino was the bulls eye. Satoshi and all the guys all were scared shitless, and the women were stunned silent.
"BANZAIIIII!" Tyson screamed, and charged at Ino, who was scared silent, and stunned. To say the least, he beat her ass senseless. After 1 minute of this abuse, she hit the arena wall hard, and Satoshi and Naruto had to jump into the arena to stop the psychopathic Sun Nin from murdering Ino. "Tyson! Let it go, man, let it go!" Satoshi screamed.
"SHE &&(&(&$&()&)(#$&$$$" Tyson screamed, and all the women with kids covered their children's ears. Everyone was stunned. He had used close to every possible derogatory term towards women, and some colorful language that would make a Sailor cry.
Satoshi and Naruto sweat dropped, and Tyson calmed down. "Alright Tyson, I understand your mad, but if you ever want to have anything close to a girlfriend, you will kindly take back your words you spew out of sheer anger." Satoshi said, sweating. Tyson looked at him, and scoffed.
"I take nothing back! They say that there's no pain like childbirth? Well that's a load of BULLSHIT!!!! They have all sorts of things to dull the pain! A blow to the nuts hurts more than anything on this god forsaken beautiful Earth!!" Tyson screamed. The women were glaring at him, but he glared right back, and screamed 'WHAT!?!?!?'
"Speaking Tyson, how are you standing?" Naruto asked. "If you must know, sheer willpower!" Tyson said, his knees giving out, and him blacking out. "Naruto, go see if you can convince Hokage-sama to heal him, while I send a Shadow Clone to defend his life until he can do it himself." Satoshi commanded. Baki called the victory for Tyson, since Satoshi interfered with him nearly killing Ino, who was carted off some time ago.
(Well, at least he keeps things interesting around here.) Satoshi thought to himself, when he saw that Tsunade had agreed to heal Tyson AGAIN. "Now, the last fight. Scar vs. Kasumi Aurion vs. Link." Baki said, and the three nin walked down the arena. (Well, this will be one-sided.) Kasumi thought to herself.
"Link, as much as we need to follow the mission, I have a qualm against teaming up against an opponent, girl or boy. So, you're on your own, and I'm on my own." Scar said, and Link, still smiling, nodded in agreement. "Agreed Scar-sama. I wouldn't want to fight unfairly either." Link replied, walking away.
"Argh, I told you before. It's just Scar. That sama crap is for Orochimaru." Scar said, and Kasumi immediately caught him not refer to Orochimaru like the other Sound Nins did. "Whatever Scar. You're no fun anymore." "What? I'm not as stuffy as those serious Sound bums!" They both chatted, before they both were on opposite sides, making a triangle with Kasumi.
"Now, BEGIN!!" Baki screamed jumping away. Link undid his chains, and summoned his coin, that turned into a metal mini-wrecking ball. All of them were in their stances, but Satoshi noticed that Kasumi looked a hell of a lot like Chun-Li from Street Fighters in her stance. Her stance was like it. And it hit him. She had been playing Street Fighters Alpha for a reason: To learn some form of hand to hand fighting that would match him and Tyson.
They were standing in their stances, waiting to make a move. Then at the same time, Link threw his wrecking ball at Scar, while Kasumi charged at Scar. Scar pulled out Kamikiri Maru and blocked the ball, and brought his opposite hand up to block the punch. Scar then swung his blade, and Kasumi jumped away, while Link charged Kasumi, who thought of this as a blessing in disguise. She turned, and smirked at Link.
"Amazon Secret Art: Seductive Glance Jutsu!" Kasumi said, her eyes turning pink, and hearts shooting at Link, who was hit dead on. He then had what looked like a love struck look on his face, as he glanced at Kasumi. "Now, defeat the one who wants to hurt me." Kasumi said, in a sweet and innocent voice, and Link nodded, and glanced at Scar, who was scratching the back of his neck.
"Now that's not fair at all." Scar said to himself, pulling out both of his blades on his sides. Link threw his ball, and Scar dodged it and charged Link. He began swinging his blades, but Link was dodging them easily, and Scar got caught in the back by the metal ball hitting him. Scar slid on the ground, and used his blades to block the metal ball. He then sheathed Kamikiri Maru and used Karugane Maru to block the ball that seemed to constantly shoot at him. (Damnit! That damn jutsu that the Amazon Village mastered is a pain in the ass!) Scar thought to himself, finding an opening, and launching Kamikiri Maru at Link, who was hit, dead on the head, and was then slashed across the chest.
It wasn't a serious wound, but it put him out. He then grabbed his lost sword, and looked to Kasumi, who was back into her stance. "Cheap trick." Scar said, charging, and bringing both his blades out. Then, Kasumi moved so fast, Scar almost lost track of her. Satoshi and Kakashi both raised their eyebrows. (Hmm. Light Step? So she's been speed training as well. She's figured it out, but the only problem is that there is a small circle of dust whenever she steps.) Satoshi thought, using Tarogan to watch her, and de-activate it.
Scar regained where she was when she inadvertently kicked his sword from his hand, and tried an axe kick, that he blocked with his other sword, that was also knocked out of his hands. He sweat dropped, and blocked what he counted was another 45 kicks. (Who the hell does this chick think she is, Chuck Norris!?!?) Scar screamed in his mind, ducking, and getting axe kicked dead on the top of his head.
He felt like his brains had been knocked out of his head, and it hurt like hell. He jumped in time to avoid another kick, but another 30 followed suit, and he was hit a few times. (Damn women and their…!?!?!) He didn't finish, because he ducked under one of Kasumi's kicks, and her skirt flew over his face, giving him a nice view of her black lace panties.
For a few seconds time stopped. Satoshi had an O.O look. (Good thing Tyson isn't here. He'd kill Scar in a heartbeat.) Satoshi thought to himself. Kasumi's face turned bright red, and she pulled her skirt down and punched Scar, who flew into the wall. He slowly got up, and just had to make this comment.
"Black? That's a nice color, but I'd say your more of a pink." Scar said, but what most people were amazed about was that he said it with a straight face. Kasumi blushed and glared at Scar, who merely put his hands up in defense. "But they're your undergarments. Who am I to say what you should and shouldn't wear." That obviously made her turn red, out of both embarrassment and anger, and charged him.
(Bingo!) Scar thought in the back of his head, allowing himself to be kicked, and then did the Substitution Jutsu, and appear right behind her. "You truly are a Sun Nin like Satoshi and Tyson. Hotheaded and brash like both of them, except Tyson went a little overboard." Scar said holding a kunai to her throat.
That sent out red flags to Satoshi and the other nin from Konoha. (That's interesting. Sound nin are usually quite violent, and would kill for a kill. Those two are different.) Kakashi thought to himself. And with that Scar won. Baki then told the winners, which were Satoshi, Scar, Naruto, Hinata, Gaara and Tyson.
"And now, thanks to the randomizer, the next matches for next week will go like this." Baki said, and the board lit up. When it stopped, there were a few gasps, 2 smirks, and frustrated growl.
Match 1: Satoshi Musashi vs. Naruto Uzumaki vs. Hinata Musashi.
Match 2: Tyson Kusanagi vs. Scar vs. Gaara.
Satoshi and Naruto looked to each other, both smirking. "NOOOO!!! I missed Satoshi again!!!" Tyson screamed in sorrow. "I think I can fill Satoshi's place." Scar said, and both nin smirked at each other. Gaara remained quiet, but was preparing for their fights mentally. And Hinata was having a conflict of what to do.
(Both Naruto-kun and Satoshi-kun are really powerful, and have demons in them. I can't hope to win…) Hinata thought to herself. "So now, we will all come back in a week, and finish this exam! Now, BEGONE!!!" Baki screamed, and everyone cheered.
ShadowRonin: Not as long, but still chucked out quite a few words. Life is looking pretty interesting for the Jounin Exam hopefuls. Now, let's see how they handle their next foes.
Next Chapter: There is a small respite until the next round. But that time won't be used for resting and training. Photos, Misunderstandings, and a pissed off Neji are what's in store for:
Chapter 24: Grave Misunderstanding! Neji and Lee Face off!
