I don't own Naruto or Rurouni Kenshin.

The crowd could only stare in complete awe, as far back as anyone could even remember there was never such a bloody fight in Konoha's history. From shinobi old enough to have lived in the Nidaime Hokage's reign participated in the very first exam the fighting escalated to the point where another was killed, but not to the point where they almost destroyed the entire stadium.
The ground was severely destroyed in several places and stained with blood of the two Genin. The stadium walls were damaged to the point where a single attack could make them come tumbling down, the only plant life was almost obliterated. The destruction these two opponents wrought on each other would stay within the minds of the spectators until the day they died.
Currently Genma was sweating at the sheer ferocity of the match he was probably going to have to repress later. If it was this bad in the first match, then he feared for the other would-be Chuunin's safety. However knowing that the next matches had to start soon, he raised his right arm and declared Naruto the winner of the match.
Clearly not surprised that he got only silence, he cleared his throat to declare the next match. But instead he saw the two opponents jump from their booth and sprint towards the injured Takashi. Clearly not expecting Keno and Seto to hop down so fast he was about to shoo the previous combatants into the medical ward as the medics came rushing in.
But to his immense surprise Seto shouldered the injured Grass Genin along with Naruto, while Keno gathered both of their material possessions. "Hold it you two your match is about to start." Genma said to them.
"You really think we're going to fight after seeing that?" Seto snorted in response.
"I believe you have to, many people came all the way to see you all compete." the senbon-chewing Special Jounin replied.
"Like we're going to do that, our teammate needs our medical attention." Keno rudely responded.
Seeing the two of them caused the crowd to go into a frenzy off booing an jeering. They threw their condiments at them, swore at them, called them killjoys and cowards. Naruto and Seto ignored their ignorant banter and ran towards the medical station. However one person had the gull to call them idiots for ruining their fun, a certain silver-haired swordsman turned towards them.
"Fuck you people!" Keno screamed at the crowd, "I don't give a shit what you do in this village, but we don't just abandon our comrades for anyone's entertainment. If you have a problem with that then you can go fuck yourselves!" he finished his rant at them before giving them the finger and running off towards the medical station to rejoin his teammates.
His outburst caused quite a stir within the crowd, especially the ones who never saw such chivalry. To deny advancement in order to comfort or at least try to heal a teammate was an unknown feature to the green behind the ears Genin and the ignorant civilians. To the Jounin and most Chuunin is was of no surprise, because many of them would do it in a heartbeat. Civilians would never understand, and they never would in a million years.
"Guess chivalry isn't dead." Asuma remarked before taking a cigarette out of his pack to replace the one he wasted that burned a hole in his pants and burned his thigh.
Kurenai silently agreed with him while Anko prepared to inflict some harm on Gai, who was crying a waterfall of tears, and hugging Lee who was also crying a waterfall of tears at the sheer concern the Grass team had for each other.
The other Genin meanwhile had their own thoughts on the matter. They were mostly nothing because of the bloody fight, however Musashi broke them out of it by standing up and started down the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Chouji asked the monk before he even passed them.
Stopping in behind their seats, the bald man looked at the Akimichi. "I'm going to see my team." he simply answered before closing his eyes and heading down once again. But before he passed them he felt a hand grab the sleeve of his orange robe, opening his eyes again he saw Tenten's tearful brown orbs staring straight at him, begging for answers.
Her calloused hand tightening on his sleeve, he voice barely above a choking whisper, she asked, "Why? Why is Naruto like this? What makes him do this?" her eyes spilling fresh tears she finished her plea, "I...I just want to know."
Placing his right hand on her head to try and calm her, Mushashi only responded with something that sent chills down her spine, "War. War did this to him." her grasp weakened by his proclamation the monk finally left for the infirmary.
A few rows down the few select people who lived with the white-haired teen overheard that disturbing bit of information. The Demon Trio fully knew what war did to a person, after all they grew up in The Bloody Mist where war was common. It did things to a man, changed them into monsters, and they were no different. All three earned their titles as demons by killing the most people, and that was going to stick with them until the day they died.
The generation under them could comprehend the feeling of suffering and agony that war caused. Both Haku and Zaku were prime examples. Zaku's parents were civilian casualties to rival yakuza gangs resulting him in becoming an orphan. Haku lost her mother to the prejudices of the bloodline purge. Kin and Dosu while they didn't know what it was like to go through any real type of war, the Sound village did a pretty good job of it. Both were bastard children because their mothers let their guards down, and each day until they defected they had to fight to survive the harsh village to not become a victim.
His eye darting the area, Gemna was completely unsure what to do. The crowd was in a frenzy, he just got pelted with an empty bottle, the screaming was irritating him. His mind clicking a mile per second he looked towards the Kage booth, Sarutobi was waving him over. Grateful for the retrieve he disappeared in a small cloud of smoke and arrived at the Hokage's side.
"What do you wish of me my Lord?" the brown-haired man asked as he knelt before The God of Shinobi.
Sarutobi beckoned him to stand before clearing his throat to gain his attention. "Genma please announce for a fifteen minute break for everything to calm down, and then join me for a while."
"Of course my Lord." Genma smiled a bit before turning around. Clearing his voice, and adding some chakra into his vocal cords he blared his voice to the audience. "Everyone I know your excited for the next match, but we are taking a fifteen minute break. Please be patient and wait for the next match!"
Chuckling the old Kage nodded and bade him to take a load off.
Orochimaru was clearly not amused at this situation, there was not a fifteen minute break in his plans. And he clearly did not expect the old fool to allow some Special Jounin to join him. What was he planning? Or was he just being the foolish polite old man? It took all the willpower for the Snake Sannin to not grit his teeth in frustration, it didn't matter he finally decided. The Leaf would fall today, fifteen extra minutes wouldn't change that.
But in the Genin's waiting area were feeling extremely uncomfortable at the moment. Gaara was currently unleashing his killing intent, showing his impatience. Watching the last match got his blood boiling, Shikaku was screaming for the Uzumaki's blood, slowly driving him off the deep end. Temari was trying her best to calm him, but so far it was proving futile to her insane younger brother.
Those that were left scooted further away from the red-head, Shino's insects were practically screaming at him to stay as far away from the one with the gourd, and voiced it to the others. They paid attention, but currently their minds were on a certain white-haired teen.
Shikamaru was trying to grasp exactly what he saw during the match. He didn't want to admit it but all he was was a monster out there, a mindless beast with an appetite for destruction. There was no doubt that Naruto was a beast, but that was one part of his brain talking. The closet genius also couldn't deny what exactly made his friend this way.
Over the month of training, Shino, and himself met each other coincidentally in the same training spot at the same time in the middle of the month. There they actually talked, and for once Shino talked more than he ever did since they've known him. Both of them asked their parents if what they heard was true, and both told them everything they knew about Naruto. From the sealing to the day he disappeared, he was abused, neglected, and everything that would break a normal person. And apparently he was not the only one, the two found what they could about the jinchuriki, and found out the horrible truth that concerned these people.
The two learned that the jinchuriki have been used since the Shodaime's time. When other newly-formed villages started to rise, he sent out several of the tailed-beasts he managed to obtain in hope to keep the peace. But instead they sealed the tailed demons into human beings for weapons of war, and were treated as if they were nothing but scum to keep them on a tight leash. What was more disturbing was that the jinchuriki were related to the Kage's of those villages, and because the two were smarter than they appeared they slowly connected the dots. Eventually they came to a conclusion that is was no coincidence, every single jinchuriki was somehow related to a Kage, either through marriage, or from a previous one.
The two felt anger stabbing through their veins when they learned that. Because that meant Naruto was related to one of the previous four Hokage's, but the question was which one? They immediately crossed the Sandaime Hokage off the list, because there was clearly no resemblance between any members of the Sarutobi Clan, so that left the Shodaime, Nidaime, and the Yondaime.
And both of them had a very good idea who he was related to.
That revelation further caused the two Genin to further become further enraged at what this village had done to him. Shino surprisingly took it the hardest once he learned of it.
Flash back
The two Genin, while not entirely familiar with each other were both sitting under a shady tree. The day was hot, the two were sweating from the heat and from a small spar they were having with each other. Barely a few hours ago Shino sent half his colony to gather the information the both of them have been gathering for nearly a week now, soon the fruit of their labor would be in, and now the truth would be clear to the two.
The wind blew hard ruffling their hair, giving both of them a refreshing feeling as the sweat dripped off their foreheads as they recovered from their small spar. As soon as the wind died down several pieces of paper landed around them. Shino nodded and mentally commanded his insects to return to him, and gave them a mental pat on the back for a good job at being inconspicuous.
The two teenagers them gathered their papers into a neat order, each one containing a number for each page. The insect-user read them first, mainly because he his much of the work because of his insects. Pretty soon his brown eyebrows were narrowed at an extremely dangerous level, his teeth grit with fury, and he felt an emotion he almost never felt.
Anger.
Handing them over to the semi-lazy Genin, the anger rising Aburame watched behind his dark glasses. He saw Shikamaru's eyes widening until they looked like they were going to pop out of his head. He saw the Nara's hands crinkle the paper as his hands shook violently.
"This can't be true." Shikamaru exclaimed, clutching the paper in his palms.
"It is Shikamaru." Shino answered him, his voice that was always calm and stoic, now held nothing but venom within it. "I specifically commanded my insects to write down everything they could find."
"What kind of monsters are we?" the paintbrush-style Genin demanded before standing on his two feet. "Now I know why Naruto hates every one in this damn village. These medical records, the history of the jinchuriki, everything that turned him into that!"
"Everyone here is so sure of themselves they can't see the truth!" Shino yelled at him as he got on his feet as well, "They tried to poison our minds into hating him, they tried to manipulate us that is what this village is trying to do." seeing Shikamaru's eyes focused souly on him he continued his angry rant.
"I know how he feels, like him I'm an outcast because of what I hold inside!" grabbing the front of his gray jacket he tore it open, revealing that he had no shirt underneath. Most thought Shino to be either scrawny or emancipated under his coat, but to the contrary he actually had an above average build. But to Shikamaru's surprise, and slight disgust there were literally thousands of insects crawling and out of his body.
"My clan holds the kikaichu insects, we sacrifice our own bodies to house them to protect this village. And what do we get in return? We get nothing but stares like we are freaks of nature!" screaming out that last part Shino turned on the ball of his heel, and punched the tree behind him. The force of the impact split his knuckles open, and blood slowly spilled to the ground. "It...it just isn't fair, we serve the village loyally, why must we all be treated like this?"
Shikamaru honestly had no idea what to say. Never before in his entire life did he ever think of any of it that way, sure he knew full well about the Aburame Clan, but he never thought about what the insect-user just told him. He brought his hand to his friends, yes he honestly did consider him a friend now, shoulder and felt them violently shaking. Moving his head over a bit he saw water spilling from his sunglasses.
For the longest time he stayed that way, and he would continue to do it for his friend who poured everything out to him. The wind blew again, scattering the papers far away from the two promising shinobi.
From then on the two never faulted from their training, and would keep the information they gained to themselves for now. It hurt Shikamaru to keep it from Chouji and Ino, but it was necessary for now. Five minutes were up, and another ten were left until he faced his opponent.
Feeling someone poking his side he looked at the familiar -well as much as he could see- face of Shino. The teen made almost unnoticeable sideways movements towards the other two near them. Raising an eyebrow he saw that both Ino and Hinata finally stopped crying, but they both had a sincere worried expression on their faces. Nodding he placed his hands on their shoulders to calm them dow.
"Don't worry you two, I know your worried about that troublesome guy. I believe we all are, but worrying right now won't ease anything. Your matches will come up soon, so until then try to relax ok?" he said to them, his lazy voice somewhat providing comfort.
"I...I know." Hinata whispered before closing her eyes.
"Shikamaru we just don't know what to do." Ino said to him, for once her voice was soft and weak. An unfortunate first for him.
"Do what you need to do." Shino answered for him, "Whatever is on your mind, do it, and don't you hold back. Or you will regret it for the rest of your lives." he continued, his voice telling them this in a commanding tone.
In the infirmary several medic shinobi were frantically working of the severely injured Takashi. The teenagers wounds were grave, most were surprised that he was not dead. The medical diagnostics showed him with an entire broken ribcage, his right lung punctured, his left eye was gone, vicious lacerations adorning his body, a nasty concussion, and he lost buckets of blood.
Naruto was equally as worse, his ribs were also broken, his body was adorned with several lacerations, his nerves shot to hell making him feel almost constant pain, the left side of his jaw was broken, his windpipe was heavily damaged, he had minor burns on his skin from the explosion, and one of his kidneys were punctured with a rock sticking out of his yakuta from his tunneling underground.
"Dammit what has the world come to where we have to heal these types of injuries?" Kanpou demanded as he pumped as much of his healing chakra into Takashi's chest.
"Times are changing my friend, and I don't like it." Iyashi responded as he poured his healing charka into Naruto.
"Come on you two we can't slack-" Kitou started to say before he was shoved out of the way by Mushashi.
"Hold it buddy you can't just!" anything Kanpou would have said was cut off when the monk forced him, and Iyashi away from the two injured teenagers.
The three Medic ninja by then took out their kunai's, narrowing their eyes at the intruder they prepared themselves to take him out. Not many knew this but this particular medical squad took absolute pride in their work. Since they became Medic-nin's they have never lost a patient, and never have they let one be harmed. They fully knew who this man was, but they couldn't let him interfere with their work.
However before they could even twitch their leg muscles, Mushashi turned his bald head towards them. Opening his eyes and revealing his brown orbs froze the three in place. His eyes held nothing but absolute confidence and conviction.
"I thank you three for doing your jobs." holding up his hands they blared to life with green light that dwarfed theirs combined together. "But I will take it from here." turning his head towards the injured teens he moved his neck left and right making resounding cracking noises.
By then both Seto and Keno were hovering over both Naruto and Takashi. Seto being the strongest of the two held Naruto down, but not before tearing the jagged black stone out of the white-haired swordsman's kidney. And Keno himself held his teammate down with all his might.
Mushashi then placed both his hands on their foreheads, and to the medical squads amazement he began the pray. "My mighty Buddah, I beg thee for thy blessing in order to give me this Angels Blessing." the monk chanted these words before his healing chakra poured into the prone swordsman.
The three watched in awe at what seemed to be a miracle that no one other than Tsunade could seem to do. The vicious wounds that adorned their patients bodies started steaming, blood, puss, dirt, and any other infection in their bodies flowed out. But at the same time they looked on in horror as their bodies thrashed wildly and even in their unconscious state, screamed out in agony, almost like they were dying. However the results were just spectacular, their wounds slowly but surely healed up.
Mushashi began coughing violently and released his strong hands from their heads. Falling to his knees he clutched at his chest before spewing out a mouthful of blood. The three then snapped out of their funk and bolted over to the man. Kanpou placed his hands on the monks back and pushed his healing chakra into the mans body, but his eyes widened in horror as the body rejected it and shoved him back a foot away from him.
"I wouldn't recommend doing that." Seto said to Iyashi as he placed his hands on his sensei.
"What do you mean we shouldn't do that? Look at him it sounds like he's dying!" Kitou screamed at the wolf-eyed swordsman.
"Because he is." Keno rebutted the man.
Getting to his feet Kanopu's eyes widened with that proclamation. "Dying? He healed them, how is that possible?"
Looking at the man Seto took his hands off Naruto who was laying still as a corpse, but he was fully healing thanks to Kyuubi and the jump start Mushashi gave his body. "It is not my place to tell, but my sensei is repaying for his crimes." looking at his sensei taking ragged breaths, his eyes dimmed with sadness. "Whenever he uses this technique it drains him of his life."
Coughing Musashi placed his right hand on his students right forearm and used him as leverage to get to his feet. "That is enough Seto." he rasped out before spitting to the side.
Knowing that his sensei's mouth was dirty with blood, Keno reached into his yakuta and pulled out a dark blue water bottle. Normally it wasn't something anyone would keep on their person, but he knew other wise, reaching his arm towards Musashi he tapped his shoulder with it.
The monk gave his student a grateful, if not bloody smile, grabbing the smooth plastic jug he popped the cork open. Leaning his arm and head back he let the cool and refreshing water fall into him mouth until it overflowed onto his orange robes. After closing his mouth he swished it around, his face scrunching up with disgust at the taste before spitting it out. "Thank you Keno I needed that."
"Not a problem sensei." the gray-eyed swordsman replied.
Nodding to his student the monk reached into Iyashi's medical pouch. And pulled out some smelling salts much to the mans protests, bringing two of the under Naruto's nose and almost immediately the ammonia gas flew into the teenagers nose. His eyes snapped open and he started coughing.
"Welcome to the land of the living." Musashi greeted him.
Groaning a bit Naruto rubbed his head, and immediately realized that he was practically healed. A little sore yes, but he had no right to complain about it. Looking over he saw the saw the almost constant smile on the monks face, the three healers from the preliminaries, and Takashi's two teammates. Then he saw Takashi himself, and he was not in the best of shape even with Mushashi's miraculous technique healing them. His face still had the cut on his left eye, his nose looked broken, and there was no doubt that he was still pretty damaged in his torso area.
"I went overboard didn't I?" his stated.
"You both did." Seto responded, his voice cold and to the point.
"Relax Naruto Takashi will be fine, but the fifteen minute reprieve will be over soon." Mushashi said to the former blond. Placing his right hand on the teens shoulder he nodded his head, "Go out and watch the other matches."
"And I suggest you come clean." Keno continued handing Naruto his tachi. "And put the damn thing on your back, I was almost insulted to see it nearly dragging through the dirt. Plus you looked ridiculous."
"And you stop wearing that bodysuit, it makes people wonder about your sexuality." Naruto retorted after taking his weapon.
"What the hell does that have to do with anything?" the silver-haired teen shouted in offense.
Taking that sheathe from his waist Naruto tore off the bottom of his yakuta and made a strap for it. Not the prettiest thing out there, but he was improvising for now. "Just ruffling your feathers." he gave the steaming teen a smirk that made him cross his arms.
Sheathing the blade in his scabbard Naruto strapped it firmly on his back, and finally reaching into his vest he pulled out a scroll of his own. Placing it on the ground he unsealed the parchment a tiny bit, in a small blast of smoke revealed Hayate's familiar katana. Picking it up he strapped it into his sash, and gave a satisfied nod.
"Off to the next fight." he said to himself, looking over to the medic ninjas he kicked his scroll at them, which was caught by Kitou. "The scroll holds a ton of healing supplies, use it as you wish." spitting to the side he left them without another word.
In the stands the Daimyo's were currently waiting for the next match to start, the fifteen minute mark was fast approaching, and they were getting anxious. The first match excited several of them to the point where they actually had to fan themselves. But one was gritting his teeth in frustration, the Grass Daimyo wasn't a very happy person at the moment, one of the most promising warriors in the village was defeated. Not only that but to him of all people, and no doubt his two bodyguards were dead, and even that didn't slow the Kyuubi jinchuriki down.
"I see your getting frustrated." the Tea Daimyo remarked as he snapped his fan shut. "Afraid you will lose your bet?"
"Takashi was just a side-bet." the Grass Daimyo growled out, "The Uchiha will win this tournament, not the Uzumaki, or any others here."
"I highly doubt that." the man replied, "I may know next to nothing about the lad I'm betting for..." he paused for a second to stop himself, "except from that match, but through all that suffering he went through there is something about him that intrigues me. That lad refuses to yield, he has a strong drive, the charisma of a Daimyo, and the ferocity of the tigers in my country. For that I will put my faith in him to win and become Chuunin."
"Knock it off with that sentimental garbage." the Grass Daimyo snarled at him, "The brat is nothing but a untamed animal, his eyes only hold the blood lust of the Kyuubi himself. In my opinion he deserves to be put down."
"That is highly uncalled for." a new voice resounded a few feet away. Looking over the two Daimyo's saw a fellow lord from Frost Country. "I find it unflattering that you would review the Uzumaki in such a bad light. The poor boy deserves to be hailed as a hero like every jinchuriki should be not spat upon."
"You've never seen him in the way I have." the Grass lord barked out before ending the matter when he saw the figure of his displeasure walk, more like limp out, out of the infirmary. His appearance was pretty ragged, but he has almost completely healed. That didn't bold well with the Grass Daimyo, that only meant that damn monk had a hand in healing him. Clenching his fist he swore to himself he would make that heretic pay dearly for lifting a finger to help the brat.
Meanwhile Naruto calmly walked through the stadium, and whatever chatter was insuring immediately stopped. He paid no attention to it, all he had to do was get to the waiting booth and watch the rest of the competition until his next match. They say silence is golden, well that worked well for the white-haired teen, not a peep reached his ears, and not a peep reached him until he entered the booth where the others were.
He saw the looks in their eyes, the questions, the fear, and the blood lust. He just simply leaned back against the entrance and waited for the ref to announce the next match.
"Well Lord Hokage it's been a pleasure, but I guess the fifteen minutes are up." Genma remarked in disappointment.
"I'm afraid so." Sarutobi said a second later, "I was nice spending some time with you Genma hope we can do it again someday."
"It would be a pleasure my Lord." the Senbon-chewing Special Jounin replied before jumping into the arena. Once he landed firmly on the ground he repeated the process of sending a tiny amount of chakra into his vocal cords and spoke to the crowd. "Ladies and gentleman I hope the wait was well worth it, because the next match is about to begin!"
The crowd roared in in applause and cheers, however many of the reserved ones stayed silent and waited for the man to continue.
"The next match between Temari and Shikamaru Nara will commence! Fighters come down this instant!"
Temari wasted no time, opening her fan and with the advance use of her wind affinity she simple floated down to the arena. Shikamaru has not so enthusiastic, looking towards Naruto he nodded in his same bored fashion. Giving the man who taught him how to be a shinobi a thumbs up he, placed his foot on the ledge and leaped into the arena.
The shadow-user stared bordly at his opponent while she glared back at him. Genma brought his arm up and threw it straight down signaling for them to fight.
"I hate fight a girl but it looks like I have no choice." Shikamaru yawned before he brought his hands to the pouches at his side.
"I wouldn't relax if I were you, this match will be over in thirty seconds." Temari said to him as she brought out her gigantic warfan.
"Try it." the lazy Genin remarked.
Smirking the only daughter of the Kazekage snapped her giant fan open and swung it with all her might. Immediately the fan with the combination of her wind affinity sent sharp gusts of wind towards the prone Nara. Shikamaru only stood there until the last second until he pumped a good amount of chakra into his legs and jumped twenty feet into the air. His hands went to his trench-knives, but instead they went to his kunai pouch, taking the sharp weapons into his hands he threw them with all his might at the Sand kunochi.
Temari only scoffed and swung he fan, like her fight with Tenten the weapons were easily repelled and were harmlessly scattered away. Shikamaru only narrowed his eyes and landed on the ground, using the force he ricocheted away until he hit the forest area of the arena.
"Coward!" Temari screamed at him before she swung her fan again. The sharp winds came of shape and started assaulting the defenseless trees that provided Shikamaru his cover. The area was pretty damaged from the previous fight, but it still had enough cover for the shadow-user to sort his thoughts out.
"Ah looks like he's getting serious." Asuma remarked in delight before bringing his right hand to his bearded face.
"What exactly do you mean by that?" Kurenai dared to ask.
"Shika is thinking." Chouji answered her, squinting his eyes he barely saw his friends hands, but they were in the familiar circle that he was used to. "Yes defiantly thinking."
"Chouji I'm trying to watch." Kiba barked in a harsh whisper.
In the arena Temari continued to pelt Shikamaru with her deadly wind blades, her attacks carved deep lacerations into the thick trees, felling a few of them. Shikamaru felt a few blades cut into his skin, but he paid it no mind, his plans were almost complete.
Meanwhile while Shikamaru was thinking Temari was getting frustrated. She brought her fan back again and this time she was going to end it, "Cyclone Scythe Jutsu!" she shouted out before swinging her fan once again. The thundering boom of the technique caused several people to cover their ears from the loud booming sound signaling the various vacuum pockets slicing into the trees, felling every single one of them.
The woman from Sand smirked in apparent victory. She slowly walked forward to inspect the damage she inflicted. A sudden whistling sound alerted her of a thrown projectile and immediately ducked her head. Looking over her shoulder Temari saw that they were those trench-knives the brat always carried with him. Scowling she saw him emerging from the fallen trees, a little scratched up but otherwise fine.
Temari prepared to bring her fan back to used her most powerful technique, but to her horror she could not move.
"Surprised?" Shikamaru asked her as he slowly and deliberately walked up to her, "While you were busy losing your temper I was planning my victory." he continued until he was staring at her face to face.
"Your knives." the woman muttered, finally realizing what exactly transpired here.
"Right on the nosey." the shadow-user replied playfully tapping her on the nose, much to her frustration, "While under the trees I had this plan along with several others as a back up, all with the possibility of victory. I transferred a good portion of my chakra into them to trap your own shadow, and because of that." Shikamaru swiftly took out a kunai from his holster strapped to his right thigh, and placed the sharp blade against her jugular vein on her neck.
"I win."
Nodding Genma raised his arm and announced Shikamaru the winner. The crowd cheered in delight at seeing a interesting match, especially when the winner was one of their own. Especially the Genin's parents who were watching in the stands cheering loudly, well his mother was, his dad only smiled in satisfaction.
Getting behind the Sand kunochi, Shikamaru retrieved his trench-knives from the dirt, automatically releasing Temari's shadow. "I apologize for making you lose, but he would be rather disappointed if I lost so easily."
It didn't take long for the blond kinochi to realize who "he" was, and it caused her to frown in a nanosecond. Shikamaru's gaze instantly hardened and with a mental command his shadow shot out towards her and connected with her own shadow, however is didn't stay connected, instead it crept up her body and took form of a hand. Temari froze in absolute fear when she saw the look in Shikamaru's eyes, cold, hard, budding with anger, and unforgiving, the shadow hand finally came to her neck and gripped her windpipe.
The audience soon stopped their applause and looked on in confusion and shock. Of course the most shocked were of course Shikamaru's parents and teammates, and several clan members no doubt watching this from home. "Wipe that frown off your face." he demanded the kunochi, his voice nearly spitting with venom. "I know what your thinking, your thinking that I'm afraid of him. Well I'm not! I consider him a friend, and if you think that-"
His sudden burst of anger was interrupted when the person he was referring to simply poked his head through the opening waiting booth.
Shikamaru's eyes that were once bubbling with anger regained their dull laziness once again. "Forget it your too troublesome to even talk to." he sighed tiredly before canceling his jutsu, and leaving a panting and bewildered Temari behind in his wake.
In the stands two people's minds were racing. Yoshino Nara went from angry mother mode to concerned mother mode at least a thousand times a second, while a housewife she was also a Chuunin -level kunochi, and had a degree in psychology like Inochi's wife Mikoshi. Seeing her son snap at a woman and nearly strangle her to death invoked a woman's fury, but at the same time she looked it at a professional standpoint as a therapist. She noticed that over the month her son was a little more aggravated than he should have been concerning the Nara mans typical nature. After the exams were done and over with she was certainly going to look into her sons unusual behavior.
Shikaku Nara however was clearly not thinking what his wife was. Instead his eyes were widened like the deer he herded whenever a bright light caught their eyes. What his son did was truly unbelievable, using one of his shadow techniques without a hand seal, an unheard feat! To date there has never been a Nara Clan member, male or female, to control their shadows in a was his son actually managed. It nearly brought a tear to his eye seeing his son starting to surpass him, but it also made him make a mental note to monitor his son closely. Because whatever caused him to gain full if not temporary control of his shadow was completely unnatural.
In the arena Genma ushered Temari to scram, causing the frightened kunochi to quickly comply and bolt to the waiting booth. The Special Jounin's head snapping to the crowd he announced the next match, to many of the villagers surprise, it was Hinata Hyuuga facing off against Ino Yamanaka.
Both the blond and the bluenette exchanged worried glances at each other. They figured that they would have to eventually fight, but both didn't know if they were prepared to do it. The two didn't exactly know much about each other, but both knew how they felt about the white-haired teenager looking at the two of them.
"Go out and fight." he said to them, "I personally want to see how much you've grown."
His words, usually chilly as snow, slightly warmed the two of them. Both girls taking deep breaths they placed their slender fingers onto the edge of the waiting booth, and jumped to the arena floor right when Shikamaru entered the booth and stood to Naruto's right, and Shino standing to his left. Temari came a second later and quietly stood near her brother.
When the two kunochi landed onto the arena floor, many people around their age -mostly boys- let out cheers and catcalls. Many shouting rudely, and several commenting of a good old cat fight. Many however were soon slapped upside the heads by either their girlfriends, mothers, or given threatening glares by many other people.
Genma being one of them chewed on his senbon needle in annoyance at the civilians. When the two girls stood in front of each other he raised his arm up, and quickly threw it down signaling the fight to begin.
Immediately the two women brought their dominant hands to their kunai pouches. Unsheathing the sharp and deadly kunai blades the immediately ran at each other, and in the blink of an eye the two collided causing the sound of metal clanging against metal echo in the arena. Ino brought her right leg up to kick Hinata in the stomach, but the Hyuuga Heiress brought her free hand downward and grabbed at the kick. Her soft hand gripping Ino's foot she jerked her jerked her hips to make her left leg sweep at the Yamanaka's remaining foot.
Ino felt Hinata's foot smack into her ankle, she let out a yelp of pain before falling onto her back. The ground was not her friend right then and there as the wind was blasted out of her lungs, but before she could even try to breathe she saw Hinata thrust her kunai occupied hand down at her. The fear of being stabbed caused the blond-haired girl to roll away as the metal blade struck the earth. The heel of her sandal hitting the ground as she rolled Ino used the momentum to spring up, and back flip to her hands, and repeating it five times before landing on her feet. In the exact same second she landed she threw her kunai at the white-eyed girl.
Hinata immediately brought her kunai up and blocked the flying projectile. However her eyes widened when she knew that she fell for her opponent's trap. She saw Ino's smirk as her flashed hands flashed to the final bird hand seal, "Mind Transfer Jutsu!" she hollered out, and then Hinata felt nothing.
As the crowd saw Ino's body fall to the ground, the mind walker gave herself a smile seeing that her justsu was a success. She walked through the hallways to the Hyuuga's mind admiring the uniqueness. When she first learned this justu from her father he once told her that every mind was different in it's own way, but she didn't really pay much attention with her fangirlism towards Sasuke. But now she came to appreciate what her father said, but also the dangers as well so she needed to be quick and end the match.
Her eyes scanned the many doors that resembled the Hyuuga estates she wondered which door would lead her to the "control room". To her far left was marked with the kanji for Memories, but the other four to the right were completely bank.
"If I were Hinata where would I put the controls to my mouth?" Ino muttered to herself. Like her dad said each mind was different, there could be only one door, or there could be a thousand doors, and opening the wrong one was a huge risk.
Turning around she was prepared to think this through, but to her immense surprise she spotted an iron door barely five feet in front of her. All that was keeping it locked was two deadbolts. Raising a delicate eyebrow Ino snapped her fingers, "Of course an iron door is a dead give away."
The Yamanaka Heiress immediately started towards the iron door, a smile on her face and a spring in her step gave her immense joy. She would immediately move onto the next round and hopefully become Chuunin after she defeated Hinata, so far gone was she in her own thoughts she didn't feel the chains under her sandals as her hands reached above her head and threw slid the deadbolt away, and finally she did the same with the bottom one as well.
Preparing to open the door, she was completely unprepared for it to suddenly fly open and smack her in the face. The force behind the door made her fly twenty feet away and land hard onto the ground. Rubbing her aching cheek, her eyes widened when she saw white eyes glowing from the darkness of the room.
Ino's breath became hitched as the figure slowly started walking towards her, her footsteps silent as the night, but she heard the sound of something dragging behind whatever it was. Her breaths became louder when a pale slender feminine foot stepped out of the darkness, the toenails painted dark blue and the ankles wrapped in a pair of broken manacles that normally kept a persons feet together but was customized to keep the long chains dragging behind it. Slowly the second one moved out of the darkness revealing a creamy leg. By this time Ino figured it this thing was a woman, but that didn't calm her fear of what was coming from that dark room.
The woman continued to move out of the dark room, another step revealed her wearing a white cheongsam dress, but unlike Sakura's this one was extremely torn at the bottom and continued up to the stomach area. Another step revealed her hands, her fingernails also painted dark blue and her wrists where bound in manacles exactly the same way like her ankles. Another step exposed her torso, revealing full C-cup breasts that were barely contained by the severely damaged dress. And a final step brought her out of the darkness, her face obscured by waist length blue hair, but her right part was open enough to see a familiar whitish lavender eye.
Ino's breath became hitched when the woman who looked no older than her brought her hands to the front of her hair and moved it out of her face, revealing the all too familiar face of Hinata Hyuuga. The look-a-like gave her a small smile before she spoke two words. "Get out!" planting her chained feet to the floor she waved her right hand at the Yamanaka, and was immediately kicked out of Hinata's mind.
Outside Hinata's mindscape the crowd looked on anxiously, the parents of the two girls were especially looking on in anxiety. Hiashi wished for his girl to do good, and so far he was slightly impressed when she gained the upper-hand on the Yamanaka girl, but when she became trapped by the well known justu he began to fear the worst. But he didn't show it because of public appearances and so his other daughter Hanabi wouldn't worry about her older sister.
Inochi was also worried for his only daughters safety, he personally knew from experience the dangers of that particular mind walking technique and how it would effect the user should anything go wrong. And when Ino entered the Hyuuga girl's mind he immediately looked for any warning signs, there was some twitching in the hands, but that was common for the two spirits when fighting for dominance.
Of course no one could have guessed that Hinata would suddenly scream, "Get out!" and Ino shooting back into her body.
Groaning the blond-haired kunochi rubbed her head. Currently she was trying to figure out what she exactly unleashed, her blue eyes shot open in surprise when a kunai knife shot at her face. Quickly moving it to the left the sharp blade barely scratched into her right cheek making a small line of blood fall down her face. Ignoring the small amount of pain, Ino looked on with disbelieving eyes when Hinata started to claw at her bulky jacket.
Up in the stands Hiashi covered his mouth in astonishment, whatever the Yanamanka girl did seemed to have affected his daughters mind. Because never before did Hinata have the look of an animal within her eyes, he always thought she loved the jacket that always covered her torso as some sort of security blanket, but apparently he was severely wrong in that assessment when she took another kunai from her pouch and sliced it down the middle, and tossed them both to the floor.
That was the day many men and women lost a gallon of blood through their noses.
"Dear sweet Kami, Shino did you even know what she was hiding under that jacket?" Shikamaru asked wiping some blood away from his nose.
"I never tried to imagine, mainly because of you know who." Shino responded as he tried to pull his jacket further to cover his nose.
The shadow-user only nodded before glancing at Naruto, who while looked impassive could not hide the twinge of pink coming to his cheeks.
Further up in the stands Kiba clearly fainted from the severe loss of blood, Chouji was gaping with a clearly dumbfound expression on his face, Tenten was clearly left speechless at the sudden strip show-or whatever was just happening, and Sakura was left looking at her flat chest.
"Well Kurenai looks like in a few years we'll have a bombshell on our hands." Anko commented when Hinata started to stretch out, her breasts straining against her tight blue training shirt.
"Anko I think we have enough problems as it is." the crimson-eyed Jounin retorted before punching Asuma's head, causing his loosely hanging jaw to bite his cigarette butt in half, causing the still burning tobacco stick to fall to the floor.
"What did I do!" the son of the Sandaime demanded, as he rubbed the lump forming on top of his head.
"I believe you were thinking unyouthful things." Gai responded for the angry kunochi, and Lee seconded that with a nod of his head.
"That's a lie, I was just momentarily stunned. I'm not like that snake bastard Orochimaru." Asuma retorted before taking another cigarette to his mouth.
With the Demon Trio, the former Sound Genin, and Haku things were much well reserved for the most part. The group just watched on with anticipation seeing the match take a suddenly very different turn.
"Who do you think will win?" Zaku asked.
"My bet's on the Hyuuga." Meizu replied.
"Of course you would bet on her you pervert. My bets on the Yamanaka." Gozu retorted to his twin brother.
"I'm not betting on her looks asshole, I've seen the Hyuuga in action when Ao fought one of them. He was lucky enough to come out of that scuffle alive, or did you forget that?" the younger brother all but snarled at his older brother.
Zabuza only bopped the two on the head to quiet their bickering, "I know all about Ao's fight and him taking his eye as a trophy to replace his own lost in the fight. But I know that the Yamanaka's mind abilities are just as dangerous, so shut your yaps and watch the match. Besides my vote is for a double knockout."
Zaku and Dosu meanwhile wwere the unfortunate victims of listening to two women chattering. While they knew next to nothing about Haku, except her being a very loud screamer and obsessed with the person they were forced to call master, both now knew that she was a chatterbox if Kin was involved. Plugging their ears at the same time to block out the two they focused on the match. It was a shame the two missed the sly look the women were giving each other.
Back in the arena Hinata was finally done stretching. She spread her feet apart and brought her palms out in the typical Gently Fist style. "Ready Ino? The fight begins for real this time." she said to her opponent, her voice completely strong and confidant, much to the surprise to those around her.
"Looks like you finally grew a spine." Ino remarked before reaching into her hip pouch, "I don't know what I unleashed, but I believe this is a change for the better." she continued before pulling out a pair of purple full fingered leather gloves. Placing them firmly on her hands she breathed very slowly, and to another surprise her gloves were set aflame.
"I'm afraid this technique isn't exactly complete, but what Naruto wrote in the scroll gave me an alternative." the blond said before dashing at her opponent.
Hinata was fully ready and pivoting on her heel she jumped out of the way of Ino's flaming fist. As the blonds right fist came crashing into the ground, the Hyuuga Heiress quickly ricocheted off the ground and brought her palm towards Ino's sternum. The Yamanaka however twisted her body out of the way and rolled several feet away.
Her hands working in quick motion Ino shouted, "Clone Jutsu!" and created nine clones of herself before darting at her opponent.
Hinata actually scoffed in annoyance at that technique before activating her Byakugan. Her pupils becoming more distinct, and her veins near her temples bulging, she easily saw through the clones. But what she didn't see was Ino twisting her hip, her left foot sending dirt into her eyes nearly blinding her. When the Yamanaka closed in on Hinata trying to get the dirt out of her eyes, she raised her right hand and punched her right in the chest.
The Hyuuga Heiress screamed in pain as the intense burning feeling coursed through her body. She took a major hit, but she was going to make Ino pay for it. As she flew back she partially brought her left hand put, her fingertips barely brushing against her opponents soft skin she moved them up wards a little bit until her fingers passed by her burning glove. Ino's right arm suddenly went limp and the fire on her glove vanished without a trace.
Seeing the damage the two inflicted on each other Genma winced. Those two were going to be out for a while if this kept up, and he was not going to have their blood on his hands if he could prevent it. He was about to raise his arm to call the match a tie, or something to stop it, but the two stubborn kunochi quickly recovered and charged at each other once again. His eyes saw that they cut their chakra out and brought their fists out, sprinting towards them he ordered them to stop fighting that instant.
The two kunochi's were far too gone to listen to him. Both screaming each others names they swung their fists at their faces. Their punches collided with a mighty bang before the two were thrown several feet away from each other completely unconscious.
Blinking owlishly for a few seconds Genma cleared his throat and raised his right arm, "Due to a double knock out, the match is a draw!" he shouted out bringing out either applause or booing, a complete mixture of both to tell you the truth.
After the announcement the medic team on stand by rushed out with stretchers, and began to collect the unconscious girls.
While the medical team was giving the girls a quick look over, Shikamaru lazily turned his head towards Naruto. "Did you have a hand in teaching Ino to cover her fists in fire?"
"I'm not going to lie to you Shikamaru I wrote it in her scroll, but I honestly didn't think she would progress to that level." Naruto replied nonchalantly.
"So is that a technique you created?" Shino asked in, his stoic voice holding a curious hint to it.
"Yes, I created it in the middle of my own training many years ago. And developed it to the point where it didn't burn my bare fists, but unfortunately I haven't found a need to use it much nowadays. So with her powerful fire affinity I thought it appropriate to teach it to her, but she clearly surprised me by advancing so fast." the white-haired swordsman responded truthfully.
"What about Hinata?" the Aburame questioned for the concern for him teammate.
"To tell the truth on my first day here I believed I unhinged something. Then during Wave I decided to increase this by helping her raise her confidence a little bit, taught her water walking, and two small water jutsus. Kurenai continued where I left off, that girl from Sound obviously made something in her snap, and from what I've seen, Ino unleashed it even further pretty much completing what I set out to do." Naruto crossed his arms further ending any more questions, then turning his head he spotted Gozu and Meizu sulking, with Zabuza giggling with some cash in hand.
When the two unconscious women were taken from the arena Genma announced the match between Sasuke Uchiha, and Shino Aburame. Naruto gave the insect-user a nod for good luck, while Shikamaru gave him a thumbs up.
Once the extremely quiet Genin arrived in the arena, he stood still like a statue and waited. Genma raised an eyebrow and turned to see that Sasuke still wasn't even here. Scowling he turned towards the Hokage and shrugged his shoulders.
"Looks like Sasuke forfeits." Saurtobi remarked.
"Sarutobi surely you can't just dismiss one of your shinobi like that. Plus look at the crowd, they came to see him fight, why not give him a few more minutes?" Orochimaru said, trying to persuade his old sensei.
"To give special treatment to one shinobi, means that I have to give it to everyone else." the old Kage nodded towards the proctor, signaling him to disqualify the last Uchiha.
Nodding back the Special Jounin raised his arm, "Due to him not even showing up, Sasuke Uchiha is hereby disqualifie-"
Before he could bring himself to finish his sentence, the senbon chewer was forced to cover his face when a strong wind started to blow. The wind continued to pick up speed before a swirl of leaves joined it, until finally it disappeared.
And standing there was none other than Kakashi reading his orange porno book, and Sasuke wearing a black jumpsuit that went to his knees.
"Are we late?" the one-eyed Jounin casually asked before flipping a page.
"Your lucky Hatake, more second and your student would have been disqualified." Genma growled out, "Now go take a seat your interrupting the match."
Kakashi only nodded before wishing Sasuke luck and disappeared into the stadium. Once he got up there he was immediately met with several glares from his fellow Jounin. "I know I'm late." he replied to their glares, "However I have a good excuse."
"Let me guess a black cat crossed your path, and you had to take the long way around?" Anko snorted in reply.
"You got lost on the road of life?" Gai dared to ask.
"You had to help an old lady across the street?" Kurenai mocked.
"Or all three above?" Asuma finished up.
"No, none of those." Kakashi replied before sighing, "Sasuke wanted to look cool and had trouble putting those stupid black bandages on his arm and legs."
"And you let him do it?" Anko raised her eyebrow in disbelief.
"I warned him he could get disqualified, but if that's what it took to get some sense through his head then so be it." the Copycat ninja sighed once again before closing his book. "So what did I miss?"
"Well in the first match Naruto and that Grass shinobi all but destroyed the arena, and he went all psychopathic on his opponent before winning. The Grass teammates forfeited their matches to bring some sort of aid to their teammate before one of them flipped us off for booing at their display of chivalry. Shikamaru won his match against the kunochi from the Sand village, and both Hinata and Ino put up a good fight before knocking each other out." Asuma replied before finishing his cigarette for the first time since these matches started, and began another one.
"Wish I was there to see it all." Kakashi murmured with some disappoint in his voice.
"Relax cyclops I'm positive the cameras in this arena caught all of it." Anko patted her college on the shoulder before settling on watching the fight.
It didn't take long for the match to get on the way, as soon as Genma leaped away the two Genin immediately started fighting each other. Sasuke immediately demonstrated his newly acquired speed to dash at his opponent, Shino only stood still until that last second before pivoting on his left heel dodging out of Sasuke's way. As the Uchicha went halfway past him the insect-user twisted himself until he was behind his opponent and punched him directly in the spine, causing the last Uchiha to bark out in pain before flying ten feet away.
As Sasuke rolled on the ground he used that to his advantage to spring to his feet, glaring at the Aburame he soared through hand seals before yelling, "Eat this! Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" bringing his right hand to his mouth he blew out the jutsu that was strictly developed by his clan.
Shino however was unresponsive, instead he raised an eyebrow as the giant ball of fire engulfed him. Many in the audience either cheered or gasped in shock that the match was over so quickly. But to their immense surprise all that remained was a charred log in the Aburame's place.
Sasuke quickly looked to his left, right, up, and then he inwardly smirked before jumping away. Shino burst from underground and he was ready for it. While his opponent was still airborne the Sharingan user reached into his hip pouch and pulled out his ninja wire, them already tied up with several kunai he channeled his chakra into them and threw them at the insect-user.
Shino was quickly entangled by the wire before flying straight into the wall, the sharp weapons piercing the concrete leaving him trapped and helpless. Sasuke only smirked before going through three simple hand seals. Immediately his right hand was covered by a ball of white lightning, and from it came the cry of a thousand chirping birds.
"Kakashi you didn't!" Gai screamed at his rivel.
"Gai this was something I didn't plan!" Kakashi screamed back, obviously his voice holding the complete truth. "I only taught it to him in order to fight against Gaara, and specifically told him never to use it against an ally!"
"Boys I suggest you relax." Kurenai chimed, her voice suspiciously calm for the situation her student was in. "This may look bad, but looks are always deceiving." she then gave them a sly chuckle before looking on.
His smirk widening Sasuke activated his Sharingan eyes, the two black tomoes spinning wildly he quickly ran at his trapped opponent. How long had it been since he last killed someone? He sincerely wondered about that, he missed the sensation of holding the life of someone in his hands, and now he was going to relive it once again. His hand plunged right into Shino's chest, and through the concrete itself.
"How does it feel to die by your superiors hand?" Sasuke teased his impaled opponent, "Well guess what bug freak, once I take out my next opponents, that demon will be joining you in the afterlife."
"Is that so?" Shino's familiar voice echoed behind him. His eyes widening the Sharingan wielder looked behind him to see his opponent that was supposed to be dead rising out of the ground. "I believe it will be the complete opposite." looking back Sasuke saw 'Shino' smirking at him before dissolving into hundreds upon hundreds of bugs.
The Uchiha screamed when they started crawling on him, and draining him of his chakra. He tried swatting them of, he tried stomping on them, but soon he found himself far too weak to even move and he fell to the ground on his knees.
"Let me tell you something Uchiha." Shino whispered out as he began to walk towards him, "You, and the rest of the villagers look down upon us with scorn for what we contain. And I for one am getting tired of it." after reaching him he proceeded to kick him in the chin, causing him to bite his tongue and fall all the way to the ground. "We keep the village safe by sending our insects to the border of Fire Country, we are the first to know if an enemy even attempts to sneak in, and we along with the Inuzuka's are among the best Hunter ninja's this village has ever produced, bringing in more rogue ninjas with Mist struggling to catch up with us. And for that we deserve to be equals, and not spat upon!"
By now Sasuke was completely covered in insects, his chakra quickly being devoured like a good piece of steak. His only eye staring at the insect-user as he practically spat venom at him. "You will be the first to feel our fury Sasuke Uchiha, rest in peace with the rest of your clan!" those chilling words said Shino mentally commanded his insects to finish him off.
Orochimaru wanted nothing of the sort to happen, bringing his hand up to scratch his ear he whispered into his head set one simple word, "Now."
Kabuto disguised as an Anbu Black Ops member received the signal and immediately flew his hands into the tiger hand seal and whispered, "Temple of Nirvana Jutsu." and immediately form every persons point of view millions of feathers fell from the sky and many fell into a deep sleep.
Of course many of the audience members were advanced shinobi and dispelled the technique. Many "audience" attendees immediately stripped their disguises off and began the planned invasion.
Baki, the Jounin sensei for the Kazekage's children withdrew a kunai knife and immediately leaped at the insect-user. The orders were simple, once the attack started he was to grab the Uchiha, and kill anyone who got in his way. He brought his kunai downwards, fully prepared to take the Genin's life.
But what he didn't suspect was his kunai to be intercepted with a familiar-looking sword. And he was not prepared to look into the cold blue eyes of death itself.
Armageddon: Finally I'm done, people you have no idea how much a pain in the ass this was to create.
Pvt. Liquor: Why the fuck are we still here?
Pvt. VFSNAKE: I believe the boss is deciding to put us all in for the hell of it.
Armageddon: That is correct, plus I know that some people will be saying what the fuck on a few instances on here.
Lt. RasneganFin: And how is that?
Armageddon: *clears his throat and dresses like a professor* Well for those who have been paying any attention to detail you would have realized that Naruto saw many of the women naked when Jiraiya gave him an ass-poke to the hot springs. Now the first what the fuck moment would have to be the women being surprised seeing Hinata's impressive breasts. Now, *taking a suspiciously sharp stick and smacking it against the chalkboard that suddenly appears with various rules and made up shit* in the law of the anime universe...*sighs* yes Private Liquor?
Pvt. Liquor: *puts his hand down* Can I go to the bathroom?
Armageddon: *smacks him with the sharp and pointy stick and glares at everyone* Anymore stupid requests? Liquor if you raise your hand again I'm gonna stab it...good now in the anime universe there are plenty of instances where characters forget things to accomplish their tasks. This chapter is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. The women clearly forgot seeing each other naked two weeks ago because A) They pretty much see it everyday when they perform oral hygiene, B) Naruto was the first to leave without taking a beating, C) They were training hard to better themselves, or D) All the above.
Sgt. Shadowtrayster: All the above.
Armageddon: Good and because you answered correctly a flamer is getting ripped apart by wolves, and a hooker will be in your room as we speak.
Sgt. shadowtrayster: Holy shit really!
Armageddon: No the hooker will not be in your room because if you catch the clap you'll be of no use to me.
Sgt. shadowtrayster: Awww
Armageddon: Now second off if any of you are Rurouni Kenshin fans then you know where I am heading with this story, if you figure it out then good for you, if you haven't...well stay tuned.
A spoiler idiot: I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS N-
Armageddon: *shoots him in the leg to prevent him from blabbing* Now onto the next thing, you saw Shino and Shikamaru quickly become fast friends, normally that doesn't happen. But those two broke several laws and read information that they never should have ever seen, and in my experience keeping an secret like that could quickly forge a friendship. As for Shino crying...seriously people am I the only one who thought of this? The Aburame Clan practically knows what the life of a jinchuriki is like being the living containers for bugs, yet still being loyal they are shunned for being creepy, at least by ignorant people.
Lt. Doom: Huh, I never thought of it that way.
Armageddon: Now onto personal matters that fill me with joy. Kashimoto in my opinion redeemed himself a tiny bit, because he FINALLY showed The Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. And I find them to be total badasses and now that I know their names and the swords they used I can continued on with these fics with the up most confidence if them being more badass than I can even think of. Now if anyone disagrees please raise your hand. *does not try to conceal his pistol* No one? Really? I promise not to shoot anyone. Well all right if you say so.
Pvt. Fox: Sir I think you have gone insane.
Pvt. Killjoy/Pvt. Superninja: We agree.
Armageddon: No I'm not insane, not yet at least. Besides your all the crazy ones.
Everyone: Prove it!
Armageddon: Well for one you all signed up with me, and with all the crazy shit that happens on here your trapped for life!
Everyone: Holy shit your right!
Armageddon: *laughs evilly* Well my faithful viewers stay tuned for more.
