"Man Saskue's so cool!" Ino cooed.

Kiba rolled his eyes. "I don't see what the big deal is."

Saskue sat himself down on the bleachers. "I was kind of hoping I would get Gaara, would have been more interesting."

Naruto let out a laugh. "That's just like you even when you win you complain about it." From the Stadium floor Anko called out Shino and the loud mouth from the sound village. The sound village ninja jumped to the floor, both his arms stuck in a sling. Naruto let out a loud laugh. "He can't fight both his arms are broken, man you lucked out on this one shino!"

Hinata looked over to Kiba. "Do you think he'll be alright?"

Kiba's dog gave her a reassuring bark. "He's right, I wouldn't worry about Shino, he's one of the last people I'd want to go up against."

Naruto nodded his agreement, Shino was not someone he'd like with him in a dark alley, that was for sure. He leaned over the railings interested to see what his long time classmate had hidden under his sleeve.

Shino glanced at the sound ninja hardly impressed, medium height, medium build, an above average mouth, and two broken arms. "I suggest you give up now, if you fight me, you'll get the types of wounds that don't heal."

The sound Ninja Zaku just smiled. "Well would you look at that." He wiggled his left hand out of the sling. "Got a little feeling in this one."

Anko nodded. "Are you two ready? Fight!"

Zaku flew at Shino going right for the throat, but Shino effortlessly blocked him. "You couldn't beat me with both your arms."

"We'll see about that! Slicing Sound Wave!" Shino was blown back and sent skidding across the floor. Zaku said something but no one could hear it over the ringing in their ears.

Shino stood up, like nothing had ever happened, the only wound he had was a small crack in his glasses. "That's quite the trick." He readjusted his glasses. "Those holes in your palms send out a gust of wind that break the sound barrier, right?"

Zaku smiled. "You're smart I'll give you that, but knowing the how of my technique doesn't mean you've beaten it."

Shino just shrugged. "I don't need to defeat you, they've got it covered."

Zaku looked behind himself. The sight made his skin crawls thousands of little black bugs covering the floor, all of them making a B-line towards him. "Alright freak, show it's going to take more than a bunch of army ants to stop me."

"They're a species of beetle that feed of chakra, a swarm this big will have you sucked dry in seconds, your only logical course of action is surrender. If you attack me, my insects will overwhelm you, if you attack them you've got be at your back, either way you'll lose, and your suffering would have been for nothing. It's always useful to have an ace up your sleeve."

Zaku let out a long growl. "I am sick of being talked down to by everyone! Now you've done it, now you've made me mad!" He slid his other arm out of the sling and held it out at Shino's hoard of insects. "Like you said it's always nice to have an ace in the hole right!" He laughed evilly. "Hope you don't mind if they have a closed casket Funeral, Slicing sounds waves!"

Zaku's arms exploded into a big meaty gory, cloud of red mist. He let out a horrible scream and passed out on the concrete floor.

Naruto started trembling. "wh-what just happened?"

Shino looked up at him. "I had my bugs clog the holes in his hands so the wind couldn't escape, all the pressure had to go somewhere, his arms were the first to give. It's like I said, having one ace is good, but I prefer having two."

Naruto gulped suddenly he had a real reason to be afraid of Shino.
