Welcome to a new chapter of the Shinobi Hunter! I own nothing but the story itself.
As me and my team consisting of the Sand Sibling's ventured throughout the Forest of Death in search of the Earth Scroll, it seemed the forest never ended.
"Damn, where's all these shinobi who are supposed to have scroll's hiding at?" I complained as I twirled a kunai around my index finger, strolling down the forest path. "I could really use a good fight right about now…"
I was interrupted by a trap, which I walked through without notice. I walked through a wire trap, which caused several shuriken to rain down upon me from several different direction's. I used the Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Substitute Skill) to replace my body with a log, which was pelted by all the kunai in place of me. I body flickered to a nearby tree, scanning the area for where my enemie's were located. I watched the Sand Sibling's venture ahead in search of who set the trap, myself staying in position. I activated my Sharingan, scanning the area for anyone with high level chakra in the area, but no one fit the description beside Gaara.
"Come on, I want a fight…" I grumbled as I traveled by tree, following the Sand Sibling's.
"Jaden, look out!" Temari roared as I stepped on a tree branch, which was teeming with paper bomb's. I used the Kawarimi no Jutsu to escape, but as I was falling toward the ground, an aerial attack initiated, several kunai homing in to pummel me from a distance. I wasn't expecting this, causing me to use a different technique to dodge the attack. I pulled from the holster on my belt a small, personalized kunai that bared a mark of the Flying Raijin. I threw it toward one of the tree's, using the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to escape from the incoming kunai. As I teleported via the Hiraishin no Jutsu, I retrieved from the kunai from the tree I implanted it in, using the tree trunk to propel myself to the next tree. As I did, another trap was activated as I expected, me using my own kunai to repel most of the incoming kunai. I looked up as I discovered I was in the midst of another incoming trap, a large tree trunk tied to a rope homing in on my location. I readied myself as the tree trunk entered my radius, cutting the tree trunk in two with chakra claw's.
"Yes, no one saw me using that…" I murmured as I glanced down below, the Sand Sibling's in the midst of sieging an assault on a team of shinobi that were camping out ahead.
"These must be the shinobi who set up those trap's," I reminded myself as I allowed the Sand Sibling's to attack the three shinobi, but as Gaara enveloped them in a stream of sand, they disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Watch out, those were Shadow Clone's!" Kankuro roared as they were attacked from all direction's with shuriken and kunai, Gaara blocking them with his sand. I grinned as someone held a kunai up to my throat from the back of me.
"My Byakugan seen your chakra, it's like nothing I've ever seen," the person stated. "You managed to avoid all of Ten-Ten's trap's, plus you were using technique's that were not used by a shinobi of the Sand. So, just who are you?"
"Well, it's rude to ask someone their name without telling your own," I teased.
"I am Hyuga Neji, of the Hyuga clan," the person introduced himself. "Remember that as the last name you shall ever hear. Now, who are you?"
"Me? Well I'm… someone you should have never crossed path's with, Hyuga Neji," I answered.
Neji tried to attack me, me body flickering from the tree. I reappeared in another tree, watching what Neji's next move would be.
"Well, it seem's that fate has brought us together to face each other in battle," Neji stated as he body flickered before me, going into a taijutsu position. "Blame it on fate that you shall meet your end by the Gentle Fist."
"Gentle Fist, fate, all nonsense," I responded as Neji took aim at one of my chakra point's with his left hand, while I struck him in the face with my right hand. I winced in pain as his hand struck my chakra point, a line of blood going down my chin as his strike connected. I let out a beast like roar as my eye's went from clear blue to the eye's of the Kyuubi, exerting more force into the punch that I had connected to Neji's cheek. The sheer force of the chakra I was exerting caused Neji to go flying from the tree we both occupied, the Hyuga knocking his head against the trunk of the tree as he fell toward the ground. I looked down as the Hyuga fell, the bloodlust I was feeling almost unbarable at this point.
I chuckled as I gathered chakra for a Rasengan in my left palm, my eye's never leaving the falling genin. My chuckle transformed into a maniacal laugh as I jumped from the tree, going in the same direction as the falling Neji. Neji looked up, his eye's widened as he saw me not even 5 feet away, the hand with the Rasengan in my palm sprawled out before me, and him. Neji crossed his arm's across his chest, but it was too late at this point. I connected the Rasengan to his chest, breaking through his defense, almost with complete ease. As I did, I was struck from out of nowhere, not allowing me to finish off the helpless genin. I looked to my side as I was hit by one of Neji's teammate's, the one with the strange haircut.
"Now, feel the fury of the Leaf's most handsome shinobi, Rock Lee!" the shinobi roared in a youthful manner. Yeah, I could already tell this one was going to give me a fucking headache.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to slip past Gaara," I murmured as I looked at the one calling himself Rock Lee.
"L-Lee, escape from this place, he's too powerful!" Neji warned, but it was to no avail. The fool was just too desperate to meet his end. Lee flew at me with almost blinding speed, but I was able to see it through with the Sharingan. He began to attack me from all side's, me blocking each attack by pressing my Sharingan to it's limit. This fool might be an idiot, but he was an expert of hand to hand combat, even I had to admit. I analyzed his movement via Sharingan, trying to find a weak point or a moment where a single area of his body was left open. Nothing.
Though this kid was still a genin, whoever trained him would be a task to defeat with his offensive abilities. I knew I would need to rely on long range attack's, fighting this one head on with his speed and abilities would be an issue. With Neji, I was able to counter the sheer force of his attack's due to the fact that my speed excelled his own. But this kid was even faster than me, so meaning I would need to rely on long range jutsu or attack's. I leaped backward, narrowly missing a kick from Lee that was aimed at my torso. As I leaped backward, I sent several kunai at the incoming genin, who managed to use his speed to miss being pierced by them. I made several hand sign's as Lee approached, preparing myself as he edged forward. It was time for me to stop playing with these children, though they did surprise me.
"Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Style: Grand Fireball Technique)!" I roared as I unleashed a massive fireball at the incoming Lee, who looked on with amazement.
"But… that is an Uchiha jutsu…' Lee stammered as he witnessed the Sharingan in my eye's, almost choking on his own spit. "W-who are you?"
"I'm the Red Demon of Konoha… bitch," I shot back as Lee was consumed by the mighty fireball, part of the Forest of Death going ablaze.
Not too far along, a Konoha shinobi witnessed the fire from his position, investigating the situation from in the tree's. As he saw a Sand shinobi unleash the fireball, he reported his finding back to Anko, who was posted at the station above the check in point.
"Ma'am, a Sand shinobi just used an Uchiha technique against some of our shinobi!" the shinobi reported. Anko looked up from her paperwork, already quite aware of who was causing the mayhem.
"This is the Chuunin Exam, we don't have time for such frivolous matter's," Anko responded as she looked back down at her paperwork. "Return to your post."
"I also seen that the boy had the Sharingan ma'am," the shinobi continued, Anko dropping the pen that was in her hand. "I think this should be reported back to the Hokage, this could be a declaration of war." Anko looked down at her paperwork, wondering what her next move should be. She brushed her hair back, a twisted smile replacing her usual beautiful smile. As the officer stood before Anko, a snake slithered across the floor, biting the shinobi on his ankle.
"W-what the hell?" the shinobi exclaimed as he felt the bite, the pain registering through his entire body.
"That snake just poisoned you, my naïve friend," Anko hissed as she stood up, the paperwork flying onto the floor. The other three shinobi in the room looked at her, eye's widened.
"B-But why would you do such a thing?" the shinobi asked as he fell to the ground, a white foam coming from his mouth. Anko grinned broadly, as the shinobi fainted from the sheer pain of the poison.
"Arrest her, now!" one of the other shinobi roared, a shinobi grabbing Anko by her shoulder's. Anko elbowed the shinobi in his stomach, then flipped him across her back. As the shinobi hit the floor before Anko, she grinned as several snake's surrounded his body, slowly nibbling on his flesh. The other shinobi rushed at the snake princess, but she was already prepared for them. She unleashed a trap she had built in case this was to occur. A floor trap that was filled to the brim with venomous snakes, the two shinobi falling into the pit without warning.
"Pitiful, for those I used to call my allies," Anko stated as she left the tower. "Let's go find the hyperactive knucklehead."
