The Mist Ninjas and Zabuza will have their ''Blood Mist'' training before the start of the series but will have their look for the fourth shinobi world war while the Lin Kuei and Sub-Zero will sport his appearance in Mortal Kombat 11 because in my opinion that is the best look Sub-Zero has had so far.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?!
To find out, we've assembled a team of world class fighters to test history's most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when two warriors go toe to toe.
No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death to decide who is...THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!
Here in our elite fight club we have gathered doctors, medical scientists and weapons experts to test out the lethal arsenals wielded by each of our combatants to determine who would win a fight between warriors who specialized in silent and relentless attacks.
Lin Kuei
Appearing from: Mortal Kombat
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 155 lbs.
Armor: Leather Lamellar, Steel Pauldrons
Loyalty: Lin Kuei Grandmaster
Mist Ninjas
Appearing from: Naruto
Height: 6'
Weight: 180 lbs.
Armor: Shinobi Flak Jacket
Loyalty: Mizukage
''Today is shaping to be a very good battle gents.'' DeadAliveManiac spoke excitedly, ''It's exciting because we have two warriors who specialized in silent killing and also wielded two different elemental attacks when it is ice versus water! It's the Lin Kuei of Mortal Kombat versus the Mist Ninjas from Naruto.''
''Ice versus water, we've seen people compare fire and ice before but never these two and I can't wait to see which assassin wins this one. They are both cold, ruthless and deadly efficient in combat to the point in which I can't tell who will win as of right now.'' Zivon96 added.
''With their similar approach to combat and amazing skill with their respective elements these are two groups of warriors who may very well be evenly matched all the way through. It's definitely going to be hard to predict the winner at this point.'' MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior said.
''Two warriors who are great at stealth, both are very good in martial arts and hand to hand combat as well as their respective elemental attacks. So which one will win in the end? Will the Lin Kuei freeze the Mist Ninjas souls or will the Mist Ninjas leave the Lin Kuei beheaded and lifeless in the water? Let's get this show started.'' Its Rice Man concluded.
Though the origin date of the Lin Kuei remains a mystery but their reputation as deadly and efficient fighters made everyone fear them. Only the best warriors were accepted and once you joined them, you die for them and you can never leave. Though they use conventional weapons some members of the clan have the ability to use ice as a very lethal weapon. Once the clan of old died out it was reborn as a force of good.
''The Lin Kuei fought a long war against the Shirai Ryu ninjas and being the masters of battle they are there's no doubt they'll give the Mist Ninjas a hard time.'' Rice Man concluded.
The ice cold warriors brought a simple, but deadly arsenal of traditional weapons to bring a swift and icy death to their enemies.
Short Range: Dao
Mid-Range: Guandao
Long Range: Shuriken
Special: Cryokinesis
However, will they be able to stand against shinobi who hailed from a superpower village that trains its aspiring ninja to kill without mercy?
Founded at the end of the Warring States period, Kirigakure is one of the five great shinobi nations but soon became involved in wars with Iwagakure, Konohagakure, Sunagakure and Kumogakure respectively and it sets itself apart from the rest with the reputation as the Village of The Bloody Mist. Unlike the other great villages where students had to pass simple exams to become ninjas, those in Kiri must kill in order to graduate and move on with their life.
''Suna, Konoha, Iwa and Kumo train their aspiring ninja like normal without any real violence and killing but Kiri on the other hand you had to kill everyone in your class to graduate and you could end up fighting your best friend or even your brother or sister! It's that kind of training that makes them hardcore killing machines compared to the other four villages. These are ninjas who won't be easy opponents the Lin Kuei can beat without giving it their full effort.'' Rice Man explained.
To uphold the fierce reputation of their village, the Mist Ninjas came armed with a diabolical and murderous arsenal to dismember and drown their opponents.
Short Range: Beheading Sword
Mid-Range: Razor Chain
Long Range: Senbon Throwing Spike
Special: Water Release
When these fierce assassins came up close with their opponents, they relied on two very different swords to get the kill. For the Lin Kuei they bring in a sword that of Chinese origins said to be the ''General of All Weapons'' and for the Mist Ninjas they brought in a tool that was perfect for execution and warfare.
''The dao is a sword coming from China and has been used for thousands of years. It was a single-edged blade that has a slight curve to it and was fairly easy to master with good thrusting. It was such a great blade it was even used as late as World War II. It weighed 2 and a half pounds and is 3 feet in length.'' Lin Kuei member Kuai Liang explained.
''We've seen this blade many times in our regular show but it is a welcomed sight because it really is such a great blade.'' DAM commented before turning to face the other expert, ''And what are you bringing in?''
''One of the most used weapons by us would be this, the beheading sword. It was a BIG sword shaped like a butcher's knife with a 4 foot long steel blade capable of chopping you in two and with the weight in the tip it will come down hard, VERY HARD. All in all it weighs 5 pounds.'' Mist Ninja Zabuza Momochi explained.
To test out the cutting power of each sword, the panel has set up two gel torsos clad in the armor of each warrior. Up first will be Kuai Liang with his dao.
''Okay Kuai Liang whenever you're ready just get into position.'' DAM said.
Kuai Liang nodded and got into position.
''Okay, on 3...2...1...cut em up!''
Kuai Liang wasted no time in swinging his dao at the first target, being the unarmored one and did a near decapitation of the head causing it to hang by the skin of the neck. He follows up by swinging several times at the chest before focusing his attacks on the armored torso. He lunges forward and stabs moderately through the flak jacket and finishes it off by bringing the sword down onto the top of the head with a sickening crunch.
''I am all done.'' Kuai Liang said as he pulled his sword back.
Zivon then makes his way over to assess the damage. ''The first target is pretty obvious, a near decapitation for an instant kill and the cuts to the chest would not be sufficient to kill but there will be a lot of bleeding so if it is not treated he's gone.'' he then makes his way over to the second torso, ''The flak jacket did very little to protect this guy so you're stabbing straight through it and judging from all the bleeding I'm seeing you got the aorta for instant death. The chop into the skull would be an instant kill as well since you'll be hitting the brain.''
''This is a very easy blade to master and getting kills was nothing to me.'' Kuai Liang commented holding the blade to make his point.
''Are you kidding me? That toothpick compared to my weapon? You Lin Kuei will be mutilated before you can come close.'' Zabuza interjected.
Now it's Zabuza's turn with his beheading sword.
''Alright Zabuza it is the same thing for you so show us what that monster is capable of.'' Rice Man said.
''Bring it on!'' shouted Zabuza as he got into position.
''Okay Zabuza, on 3...2...1...chop em up!" Demigod shouted.
With a mighty roar Zabuza brings the beheading sword downward in an overhead chop and when the blade makes contact with the torso's head it was cleaved in two spraying blood everywhere much to the amazement of the panelists and even Kuai Liang was impressed. Laughing at the gore before him Zabuza wasted no time in looking at the second target clad in the Lin Kuei armor and with a horizontal swing it strikes the target in the chest. The leather lamellar did nothing to protect the wearer and the force was enough to knock the target down the ground and taking this opportunity the Mist Ninja raises his sword high and brings it down onto the target's neck completely severing the head.
''I am done!'' Zabuza exclaimed.
The ninja then daps some of the torso's blood onto his fingers and kicks the target over so that it was resting on its back and drags his blood drenched fingers across the chest.
''The calling card of Kiri, gruesome and intimidating.'' Rice Man commented.
Zivon then walks over to assess the beheading sword's carnage.
''Do I even need to get into detail about what happened here? This sword literally cleaved the head in two and that's obviously instant death! So much blood, nothing we have seen before even in our regular Deadliest Warrior!'' he then walks over to the beheaded torso, ''The lamellar did nothing to protect this man and he pretty much was almost sliced in half. The beheading sword literally cut almost halfway into his body for an instant kill and the decapitation is obvious.'' explained the good doctor.
''It felt very exhilarating and these two died quickly and painlessly, with the head chops of course.'' Zabuza added.
Despite being impressed with the beheading sword's power Kuai Liang stepped up to speak his part.
''While there is no denying the power of your sword it is a very clunky weapon that fast warriors like the Lin Kuei would be able to dodge it.''
''So? If you don't you're done.'' retorted Zabuza.
After seeing the killing potential of these two different swords it doesn't take long for our panelists to decide their edge.
''No brainer here, the beheading sword packs so much power and the amount of force it comes at you with is insane! I give my edge to it.'' DAM started off.
''Personally I really like options but just looking at that giant meat cleaver makes me uneasy. Plus the raw power dwarfs anything the dao can dish out.'' Zivon seconded.
''Even though it weights more the sheer power wins me over so I give my edge to the beheading sword.'' Demigod added.
''The lamellar of the Lin Kuei will do absolutely nothing to protect them from either the cutting or the blunt force trauma that sword brings in. Edge Mist Ninjas.'' Rice Man concluded.
In short range weapons, the edge goes to the Mist Ninjas for their beheading sword.
Coming up, a deadly polearm is pitted against a razor sharp mutilator and then later two throwing weapons are compared.

Mist Ninjas, the feared and ruthless killers of Kirigakure. Or, Lin Kuei? Earthrealms lethal ice cold killers. If these two silent warriors fought who will win?
Now the time has come for these warriors to unleash their mid-ranged arsenals. Up first will be the Mist Ninjas with a simple chain but when its true nature is revealed it becomes one of the most terrifying weapons on the battlefield.
''This is not a regular chain because the links have been filed into blades and when it gets you you're literally going to be shredded apart. It is a weapon that is 12 feet long and has a weight of 4 pounds.'' Zabuza explained holding the weapon proudly.
As Zabuza showed off his weapon the panel was well intimidated by the weapon's appearance altogether rather than it's length.
''Holy crap we've never seen a weapon like that!'' Demigod exclaimed.
''How would you prevent it from hurting yourself when holding it?'' asked Zivon and he got his answer when Zabuza held up a chainmail glove, ''Ah, makes sense.''
''We're really eager to see what kind of damage this does to a body so we've set up two torsos. One will be bare and the the wearing the leather lamellar and steel pauldtrons of your average Lin Kuei.'' DAM said as Rice Man and Demigod push the torsos into view.
''Very well then. Prepare to be amazed.'' Zabuza said with a smirk.
''On my go Zabuza, 3...2...1...shred it!"
Zabuza took the moment to spin his razor chain above his head for a few seconds and lashes out in a horizontal swing. The chain wraps around the unarmored target and with a pull he unwraps the chain from the target causing a good amount of flesh to be shredded off the body to the awe of the panel. He smirks to himself and pulling the chain back to him he flings it forward again and wraps around the target's neck and just like before pulls the chain back and shreds completely through the neck spraying blood everywhere.
''Holy shit that's really gruesome.'' Demigod commented.
Setting his sights on the armored target he swings the chain forward and wraps around the lamellar covered torso and constricts the weapon. The chain cut through the armor and Zabuza pulls back with lots of force most of the leather armor was ripped away and he concludes the display by wrapping the chain around the target's head and shreds it down to the bone.
''I'm done.'' said the Mist Ninja.
''I never thought we'd see this kind of damage from a chain weapon! From what we were seeing you were shredding not only the skin and flesh, but you were shearing bone and leaving their bones exposed!'' Zivon exclaimed as he examined the torso, ''The first torso is dead and the second one will bleed out in no time with that kind of injury to the face and he's blinded.''
''So Kuai Liang? What do you think?'' DAM asked.
''It is gruesome, it is bloody right down the Mist Ninja line. The weapon I have though will be shoved straight through your heart.'' said Kuai Liang.
The Lin Kuei respond to the razor chains brutal display with a polearm made famous in ancient China.
''The guan dao is a weapon that was first used in ancient China around the 3rd century AD. It measured around 6 feet and weighed 5 and a half pounds. It is a well used weapon by the Lin Kuei, not as much as others but still used a lot. It also has a spike on the back to hook an enemy's weapons.'' Kuai Liang explained.
''The guan dao has shown to be a very nasty weapon and we want to see how you perform against armored and unarmored targets.'' DAM said.
Kuai Liang nodded and got into position.
''Okay Kuai Liang on 3...2...1...attack!" Demigod shouted out.
The pig is released from a zipline and as it comes close to Kuai Liang the Lin Kuei warrior swings the guan dao at the belly slicing deep into it and causes the intestines to be spilled all over the floor. The Lin Kuei warrior then followed up by taking the hook part and stabs it into the pig's neck several times spilling even more blood. He then turns to face his static target wearing the flak jacket of the Mist Ninjas and rushes forth stabbing the blade of his weapon into the target's stomach going straight through the armor. He swings the weapon again and slices the flak jacket open leaving the heart exposed and he wasted no time in driving the spike end into the heart.''
''I'm done!" Kuai Liang shouted.
Zivon then walks over to check the damage, first starting with the armored target.
''The armor did nothing to protect him. You stabbed him right in the gut for an instant kill and when you cut the armor you managed to slice into his skin leaving a bad flesh wound. Now that you exposed his chest you took that spike and drove it right into the heart for another instant kill.'' he then walks over to the slaughtered pig, ''You disemboweled this poor swine and the neck stabs you're hitting his important blood vessels like the jugular vein and the carotid artery. Hitting those two will bleed him out really quick and then you can watch him die.''
''For a weapon on the heavier side you did quite well in keeping the momentum of your attacks.'' Demigod commented.
''Yes, I did not feel fatigued at all using it.'' Kuai Liang said.
''Bah! With a heavy weapon like that you'll not only die tired, you'll die shredded.'' Zabuza quipped.
After testing out these two very different weapons, which one do our panelists believe take the edge?
''The chain is awesome and is a very lethal weapon but the guandao has more options for more kills so I am giving it my edge.'' DAM started off.
''I really like the range the razor chain has over the guan dao but the guan dao offers stabbing and hacking options and thus I give it my edge.'' Zivon seconded.
''More range is really the only thing going for it, the guan dao is also more safe to use as well.'' Demigod added.
''The guan dao may tire the user out, but at least you don't need mail gloves to protect yourself. It also hits harder as well so it wins this comparison.'' Rice Man concluded.
In mid-range weapons, the edge goes to the Lin Kuei for their guan dao.
Coming up, two lethal and precise throwing weapons soar straight for their opponent's weak points and then later, the elements are compared!
XXXXXX
Lin Kuei, Mist Ninjas. Two very similar warriors who put fear into the hearts of their enemies. Though they were masters of hand-to-hand combat they do come with two very similar ranged weapons to rain pain and death upon their opponents.
Since we've already seen the shurikens in use from ''Leaf Ninjas vs. Italian Assassins'' the panel review the test footage before moving on.
''We've already seen the shuriken and have notes on their damage potential from their debute episode so let's see what the Mist Ninjas bring in.'' DAM said.
To bring down an enemy from afar, the Mist Ninjas used a throwing weapon that when it comes your way it becomes invisible to the naked eye.
''Our preferred long range weapon is the senbon throwing spike or bo shuriken. They usually measured up to 6 inches in length, were made of pure steel and weighed under a pound.'' Zabuza explained producing several of the spikes for the panel to see.
Rice Man took a spike Zabuza had offered and examined it finding himself impressed with the simple weapon. ''Sleek in design, has a bit of weight. That's awesome.''
''If you all would like, I will gladly demonstrate the potential of these on that one.'' Zabuza said pointing to a torso clad in the leather armor of the Lin Kuei.
''Please do.'' the panel said in unison.
Zabuza stand before the torso and taking his first spike he tosses it will all his might hitting the target right in the neck where the jugular was. With his second one he hurls it straight at the leather covered portions and the spike manages to penetrate through the armor, albeit barely. Taking his third one he adds force into the swing it strikes the target right in the eye before taking his fourth and sends it soaring into the upper arm of the torso. With his final throwing spike he takes aim at the face and throws it as hard as he physically could and the spike catches itself in the target's cheek.
With his work done Zivon walks over to check the work.
''I find myself impressed by such simple weapons.'' he said as he pulls out all the spikes, ''The first one got him in the neck where his jugular would be and that would cause him to bleed out really quick, if you leave it in there of course. The second one struck the leather armor and while it did penetrate it only managed to leave a small cut on the skin. For the third one you got an eye kabob and the depth of penetration is enough to hit the brain and kill right away. The fourth spike struck him in the arm and it will hurt, A LOT but not enough to kill, just render the arm useless. Lastly your final spike struck him through the cheek bone and that struck the bottom portion of the brain for another kill.'' the good doc explained.
''I noticed as Zivon was pulling the weapons out it was a bit tricky, those things really got lodged in there.'' Rice Man commented.
''Heck yeah and I didn't see it as it flew straight at the target.'' Demigod added.
''Doesn't matter how trained you are, these spikes are hitting you no matter what.'' Zabuza interjected.
After testing out the lethality of the senbon throwing spikes where do our panelists stand?
''I feel as if neither of these weapons really are efficient to get an instant kill, well maybe in the normal shuriken's case but still, they HAVE to hit the right spot to cause significant damage. Even for me.'' DAM started off.
''I'm seconding that notion. Both are good and very light weight and can be thrown in swarms but the damage is basic compared to something like an arrow. They do fly fast at you so both are quick and easy. Even.'' Zivon seconded.
''From what I've seen of the Lin Kuei's shurikens they're slightly larger than the average and penetrate deeper but it's akin to the senbon throwing spike. I call it even as well.'' Demigod added.
''So it is unanimous then, both weapons are too similar to win this edge.'' Rice Man concluded.
For long range weapons, both warriors are dead even.
Coming up, we conclude the weapon testing by bringing out the elements both these warriors associate with and our battle between fiction's famous stealth warriors begin!
XXXXXX
With all their conventional weapons out of the way, these two warriors bring out the elements to conclude their weapons test. Up first will be the Mist Ninjas with the namesake of their village and nation, Water Release.
''In our anime the five great nations have a certain element their ninjas specialize it. For Iwagakure it is earth, for Kumogakure it is lightning, for Sunagakure it is wind, for Konohagakure it is fire and finally, for Kirigakure it is water. Water release can be utilize well in both defensive and offensive manners. Called jutsu the average Mist Ninja can use natural running water from lakes and rivers for their attacks but very skilled and advanced users as myself can create it using our own chakra.'' Zabuza explained.
''Very interesting and unlike the Leaf Ninjas from the debut episode of this fic we will have you showcase more than one jutsu since we are using the element as a whole.'' DAM said.
''Alright, prepare to be amazed at how lethal we can make water.'' Zabuza said as he turns to face the target.
He forms his hand into a gun shape and points his index finger at the target and a second later a drop of water began to form onto the tip of his finger before shooting out at the target with as much power as a regular bullet piercing clean through the target's chest where the heart would be. He unwraps the bandages covering his mouth and performs a series of hand seals. Then he inhales and spits out a dragon made of water straight at the torso pushing it back completely against the wall, the pressure being powerful enough to cause visible damage on the body. With the target barely clinging on to life he performs a water prison jutsu before mist begins to slowly fill up the entire fight club.
''What is this? Stephen King?'' DAM joked.
The panelists and Kuai Liang looked around the thick mist and soon they heard water splashing, then the sound of flesh being cut and a thud was heard. The mist dissipates and everyone was able to get a clear view of Zabuza standing tall over the torso.
''Ah, the Hidden Mist jutsu. The most famous jutsu to come out of Kirigakure.'' Rice Man commented.
Zivon then makes his way over to assess the physical damage done to the target save for the decapitation.
''Aside from losing his head this guy took a literal bullet made of water clean through the chest, haha! See what I did there? Clean? Anyway, the water essentially became a bullet and struck him with so much force it pierced his heart dropping him instantly. For the water dragon jutsu the pressure was so great you were able to wash away some skin and the pressure alone was so great it would probably crush him to death.''
''Remember, water can be very heavy as well so a death like that from any high pressure water jutsu does not surprise me.'' Zabuza added.
''Your water will be frozen in its tracks when I bring out my element.'' Kuai Liang interjected.
To respond to the torrent of pain and destruction of water release, the Lin Kuei fire back with the merciless and harsh element of ice courtesy of their cryokinesis.
''Cryokinesis was not very common among the Lin Kuei but higher ranking members like me, by brother Bi Han and Frost can use ice to our advantage. Not only can we freeze an opponent solid we also have the ability to create weapons out of it such as blades. Not only that we will also use cryokinesis to freeze the terrain and use it to compliment our physical combat prowess.'' Kuai Liang explained.
''Much like water release we want to see what you can do with cryokinesis.'' DAM said.
''Very well.'' Kuai Liang said before facing a new torso clad in the standard outfit of the Mist Ninjas.
He forms a sword out of ice and dashes at the target and points his palm outward sending causing a square mass of ice to form under the target. The target begins to slip and with his ice sword he brings it downward and stabs the target through the stomach before twisting it causing the blade to break leaving some ice fragments in the wound. He then forms a ball of ice in his hands and swings it like a rock smashing the torso right in the face with a sickening crack.
''Goddamn, that looks so painful.'' Zivon commented.
With the target still in the air Kuai Liang forms ice spikes and the target lands on them. Taking a step onto the pinned torso Kuai Liang stomps on the target's face causing the ice spikes to impale it through the face, an eye having been kabobbed on one of the ice spikes.
''Chill out.'' Kuai Liang chuckled.
Zivon then made his way over to the chilling sight.
''From what I'm seeing, the ice sword managed to pierce all the way through his gut and the amount of bleeding would cause a really quick kill. The ice being smashed right into his face with so much power you shattered every bone in his face! Another instant kill. Lastly, this makeshift ice iron maiden is stabbing him in various parts of his body. Not enough to kill but you stomping on his face is a kill since the spikes are piercing the skull and of course, the brain.''
''Much like the Mist Ninjas we are capable of delivering a swift death to the enemy.'' Kuai Liang said.
''It looks fun, can you make snow too and have a snowball fight? We'll drown you before you can use your ice.'' Zabuza snorted.
''Then we'll freeze your water before we freeze you to death.'' Kuai Liang shot back.
After testing out the elemental attacks of these warriors, which ones does the panel believe take the edge?
''For me these two are near even in terms of usage, versatility and destructive capabilities. I really see them being evenly matched in terms of those three things I mentioned.'' DAM started off.
''I disagree, I think I'll go with cryokinesis because you have the ability to create literal weapons such as swords out of the ice. For that I think cryokinesis is more versatile in that sense.'' Zivon countered.
''Hm, I think I say even. Both the elements can melt and freeze each other and have so many ways to defend the user and kill the enemy. Both can puncture the human body when it comes to the water bullets and ice swords.'' Demigod seconded.
''In my opinion, these two elements are dead even. Ice freezes water, water can melt ice you get the picture. However the advantage I see with water release is it has more range and moves more smooth because it is...more fluid!'' Rice Man concluded as he laughs his ass off.
Bah dum, tsshhhhh*
Zivon, Demigod just looked at Rice Man and shook his head at his poor joke while DAM was gagging at the terrible pun.
In special weapons, both warriors are even.
In terms of armor, both the Lin Kuei and Mist Ninjas wore simple tools to provide the protection they wanted.
''So in reviewing their armor I think I will decide to give the edge to the Lin Kuei. They at least have steel pauldrons. While the shinobi flak jacket does provide similar protection like the leather lamellar the added steel pauldrons give the Lin Kuei a very, VERY slight edge.'' DAM explained.
''I say even then because both fall to thrusting attacks and I think the flak jacket is a little weaker since slicing it defeats it.'' Zivon added.
''I go with the Lin Kuei, they at least have some form of steel.'' Demigod said.
''They both have weapons that can defeat the opposing armor so I'll call it even.'' Rice Man concluded.
For the armor category, both warriors are even.
Coming up, our computer wizz Metal Harbinger will gauge the x-factors and then later, Lin Kuei? Or Mist Ninjas? Which warriors will reign supreme?
XXXXXX
Welcome back to the fight club, here we tested out weapons between two warriors to determine who is deadliest.
For close range weapons, the Mist Ninjas beheading sword decapitated the Lin Kuei's dao.
''More powerful, bigger sword, easy edge for the beheading sword.'' DAM explained.
Edge: Mist Ninjas
For mid-range weapons, the guan dao's versatility proved superior to the razor chain's destructive power.
''It weighs more yeah, but has options and will kill with each option.'' Zivon explained.
Edge: Lin Kuei
For long range weapons, the shuriken and sendon throwing spikes were evenly matched.
''Both don't really kill unlike they hit you in the right spot which is why they're even.'' Demigod explained.
Edge: Even
For special weapons, both the high velocity and pressure of water release is evenly matched with the harshness of the Lin Kuei's cryokinesis.
''Both are highly versatile elements to use and have no problem killing someone. Water release does possess some more range but crykinesis can form ice blades to instantly kill.'' Rice Man explained.
Edge: Even
And finally, the armor of both warriors were determined to be equal.
''They fall to thrusts and slashes and have weapons that can defeat the opposing armor.'' DAM explained.
Edge: Even
Now, our resident computer wizz and metal enthusiast Metal Harbinger will gauge the x-factors.
''Let's get metal thrashing mad!'' Metal said excitedly.
''For training I had to give this to the Mist Ninjas simply because when they approach graduation they have to literally kill all their classmates just to move on. You could be fighting your friend, girlfriend or boyfriend, or even your brother and sister! That kind of brutal training method makes the Mist Ninjas more hardened and ready to kill. They get a 96 to the Lin Kuei's 91.''
''For killer instinct this went to the Mist Ninjas again because as I said earlier, their little graduation test prepares these young children into hardcore and bloodthirsty killing machines. The Lin Kuei do kill when it comes to the Shirai Ryu but don't have the same killer mentality as the ninjas of the Mist. 99 to a 95.''
''Next up is physicality and both these warriors can be sneaky and are using weapons that demand precision, strength and accuracy. Both of them have a 90 each.''
"Fourth is loyalty and this time the Lin Kuei take it, they are very devoted to their grandmaster compared to the Mist Ninjas to their Mizukage and village. In the anime we've seen quite a few ninja from Kiri go rogue such as Zabuza, Kisame and Juzo and this is during the fourth Mizukage's era which was full of pain and suffering. The Lin Kuei earned a 100 to the Mist Ninjas scoring an 80.''
''Finally, we have ferocity and it was another easy one for the Mist Ninjas. They have a very ferocious approach to combat unlike any the Lin Kuei have seen with the Shirai Ryu. In older generations the Mist Ninjas take such great pleasure in killing it was almost arousing to them. They have a 95 to the Lin Kuei's 90.''
Metal Harbinger has now completed the x-factor evaluation and will now run the simulator one-thousand times pitting 5 Mist Ninjas, which will consist of a squad of Chunin led by Zabuza who himself is a Jonin against 5 high ranking Lin Kuei warriors who will be led by Kuai Liang and his brother Bi-Han.

It was a nice and quiet late afternoon in a wooded area in one of the most powerful of the five great nations. Kirigakure has been facing a new threat from a clan of ice users and the new Mizukage Mei Terumi had ordered five of her best ninjas to scout the forests across the water from their village. Fearing these intruders might be ninjas from Yuki no Kuni, or the Land of Snow she was preparing in case war breaks out between the two villages.
In a small clearing of the forest we see her ninjas resting around a camp site with a small fire in the middle of the group.
Mist Ninjas: 5
So far they haven't spotted anything unusual so they decided to rest for lunch. The lead Mist Ninja, a large man with bandages on his face and a large beheading sword on his back was seen leaning against a tree while two of his colleagues had razor chains and the other two were armed with standard beheading swords of their own.
''So you guys think these unknown ninja are from the Land of Snow?'' asked one of the ninjas.
''Definitely, they're the only nation that can use ice release so there's no doubt in my mind.'' another ninja answered.
''Doesn't matter, if they're from Konoha, Iwa, Kumo or Suna or even a minor village cause they're dead for encroaching on our turf.'' Zabuza said.
Elsewhere in the woods five figures wearing a blue ninja type outfit with hoodies were seen walking through the brush. Bi Han and Kuai Lang have taken three of their best warriors after they caught wind of an unknown group of ninjas who could use water were rumored to be allying with the Shirai Ryu they decided to head into this foreign land to confront the new threat before it made their way to earthrealm.
Lin Kuei: 5
''If these water ninja are allied with the Shirai Ryu they will die immediately.'' Kuai Liang spoke.
''Yes, we are close to defeating them so anyone who dares to ally with them die.'' Bi Han added.
Just then the two brothers spot a pillar of smoke rising into the sky and they call for their men to halt. Readying their weapons the Lin Kuei all slowly advance toward the sword of the fire and soon they hid in the brushes that led to the clearing where the Mist Ninjas were staying.
''There they are, the water ninjas.'' Bi Han whispered.
Kuai Liang looks to one of his warriors and points at him, ''You, ready a flurry of shuriken.''
The Lin Kuei nods and grabbing several dozen shuriken from his pouch he takes aim at the ninjas and lets loose his throwing stars. The sudden noise of the spinning projectiles catches the attention of Zabuza and looking in the direction from where it came he spots the shuriken coming his way.
''Shit! Look out everyone!''
Zabuza leaps out of the way causing the stars aimed at him to harmlessly embed into the tree whereas three of his colleagues dodged without any problems. However, one of the Mist Ninjas was too slow and was riddled by the shuriken, the killing blow being one that sliced deep into his head in the middle of his face.
Mist Ninjas: 4 - Lin Kuei: 5
''Goddammit! They got Suigetsu!'' shouted a ninja.
''Shut your mouth and fire back!'' ordered Zabuza.
They all then reach into their pouches and grab a handful of their senbon throwing spikes and hurled it into the brush where the Lin Kuei's attack came from. Immediately most of them manage to duck or jump out of the way to avoid getting poked but the Lin Kuei who threw the shuriken was too slow and took several throwing spikes to his chest, neck and face. The spikes piercing his skull killing him instantly.
Mist Ninjas: 4 - Lin Kuei: 4
''Everyone scatter!'' Bi Han ordered.
The still alive Lin Kuei all split up and headed in multiple directions and just as Bi Han looks in the direction of the ninjas he was greeted by a water dragon heading his way. He reacts by creating an ice clone and thankfully it takes the hit allowing him to make his escape. A few seconds later the Mist Ninjas land in the brush and spot the partially melted and destroyed ice clone.
''So these are ice release users. Keep your guards up everyone. You, you're coming with me and you two head that way. We're hunting them down.'' Zabuza said.
''You got it.'' replied the other ninjas.
Zabuza and his colleague head off into a different part of the forest while the other two head the opposite way. Several minutes would pass as the two unnamed ninjas hopped through the trees and just as they were in mid-jump a flurry of more shuriken came their way and one of them takes his beheading sword and uses the massive blade to block the attack saving him and his comrade.
Just then they felt a coldness behind them and turning around they were greeted by Bi Han who had a sword of ice in hand. One of the ninjas tries to whip out his razor chain but before he could the Lin Kuei warrior stabs him through the gut with the blade before forming two daggers out of ice and stabs him in the eyes for good measure.
Mist Ninjas: 3 - Lin Kuei: 4
The other ninja brings his beheading sword into play and goes to try and bisect Bi-Han but the veteran Lin Kuei ducks and kicks him away causing him to fall onto the ground. The thud knocks the wind out of him and soon he was greeted by a nameless Lin Kuei charging at him with his dao in hand. Without much difficulty the Mist Ninja swings his sword and slices the man's legs from underneath him sending him onto crashing on his side legless.
The Lin Kuei screams as he holds his stump but soon finds himself beheaded.
Mist Ninjas: 3 - Lin Kuei: 3
With that dealt with the ninja turns around to confront his other opponent but the last thing he would ever see was a dao slicing right into his face nearly cutting his head in half.
Mist Ninjas: 2 - Lin Kuei: 3
Bi-Han sheathes his sword and looks at the corpse.
''Pathetic.'' he said quietly before heading to reunite with his brother.
In another part of the forest Kuai Liang and the remaining Lin Kuei warrior were seen coming to a halt as they approach the lake. Seeing as there was no way for them to swim across such a large lake Kuai Liang uses his cryokinesis to form an ice bridge above the surface of the lake and they soon use it to their advantage. Just as they were about to reach the opposite shore a figure jumps out of the water.
One of the Mist Ninjas goes brings out his razor chain and shoots it outward. The lower ranked Lin Kuei warrior managed to dodge but the chain wraps around Kuai Liang's arm. Having raised it in defense he did not expect the next move as the ninja then pulls the chain back and his arm is shredded beyond belief causing him to scream in agonizing pain as the flesh was ripped from his limb.
''Kuai Liang!'' the Lin Kuei shouted for his superior.
Despite the pain he was in Kuai Liang holds his palm out and freezes the water where the Mist Ninjas was going to land causing him to slip and fall flat on his face as he landed bad on the ice and was caught by surprise and he loses his chain in the process. Before he could get back up he was frozen in place and looked up as the Lin Kuei warrior brings his guan dao and slices his head off.
Mist Ninjas: 1 - Lin Kuei: 3
The Lin Kuei then kicks the head away and runs to check on Kuai Liang but before he even reached his superior a stream of water was seen going straight through the side of his head and the lower ranked warrior falls onto the frozen platform, a blank look plastering his face as blood slowly drips out the side of his head.
Mist Ninjas: 1 - Lin Kuei: 2
Growling to himself and knowing the other ninja is nearby Kuai Liang summons his energy and manages to make his way toward the other shore. Before he could get a break he hears footsteps behind and turns to see it was just his brother Bi-Han who had managed to catch up to him.
''Kuai Liang are you okay?'' Bi-Han shouted.
''Y-yes, I am just in a lot of pain that's all.'' replied Kuai Liang.
Just then Zabuza emerged from the bushes nearby and swings his razor chain at the two brothers catching Kuai Liang by the neck. Before he can save his brother Zabuza pulls the chain back incredibly hard and shreds most of the flesh off of Kuai Liang's neck. The force of the pull causing the brother to spin a few times in place before collapsing to the ground.
''NO!" Bi-Han screamed at the top of his lungs.
Kuai Liang could not speak and instead was left choking on his own blood as he bled out very quickly so he used the last of his energy to grab his brother's hand, a tear coming out of his left eye. Bi-Han can only watch as his brother took his last breath before succumbing to the insane bloodloss and soon he laid still.
Mist Ninjas: 1 - Lin Kuei: 1
Bi-Han growled loudly at the loss of his brother and uses his hand to close his eyes. He gets up and turns to face Zabuza who was just standing there admiring his handiwork, his beheading sword in hand.
''Aw did I kill your brother?'' Zabuza asked mockingly.
Bi-Han stares at Zabuza coldly and gets into a fighting stance.
''You are going to die.'' Bi-Han growled, freezing his own hand in the process before clenching his fist shattering the ice.
Zabuza motioned for the Lin Kuei warrior to come his way, ''Have at it then.''
Taking out his dao Bi-Han charges straight at Zabuza and goes for a thrust only for the Mist Ninja to block the attack with his massive blade. However Bi-Han forms a sword of ice and goes to thrust it through the hole in Zabuza's blade and manages to land a blow on the ninja. Feeling the ice stab into his pex Zabuza grunts in pain before bringing one of his hands in a chop that shatters the ice. He ended up creating an opening for Bi-Han to attack and he quickly brings his dao up and goes for a swing hoping to decapitate the ninja.
Zabuza caught wind of this and swiftly lowers his head to avoid losing it and follows suit by using his big blade to shove his opponent away and uses the chance to swing the blade. However, Bi-Han saw the blade slowly coming at him and quickly summons an ice clone in his place and jumps back to avoid the beheading sword's path. The massive blade cuts shatters the clone catching Zabuza by surprise and using speed he lunges forward and with a ball of ice smashes it into one of Zabuza's arm.
The powerful blow shatters a bone in his arm causing him to scream in pain while dropping his sword in the process. Before he can use his free hand to grab it Bi-Han fires another stream of ice and freezes his hands together.
''Damn!'' Zabuza thought in shock.
He then turns to look at Bi-Han and the Lin Kuei warrior freezes the ground below him causing him to fall. Bi-Han then form ice spikes on the ground and Zabuza lands on them with force enough for the frozen tips to pierce through his skin and he cries out in pain from the impact. Wasting no time Bi-Han walks over and places a foot on Zabuza's face leaving only eyes and he stares him down hard.
''Die.''
Bi-Han then stomps hard on Zabuza's face but as soon as the spikes pierce through his head he dissolves into water.
''What?!''
Bi-Han then hears a huge wave of water coming his way and looking at the direction of the lake to see a huge water dragon jutsu coming at him. He tries to freeze the dragon but the pressure breaks through the ice and he is swept away in a spectacular tidal wave.
''Agh!''
After several minutes of being washed away and holding his breath the water dragon crashes into a tree and he is left coughing and catching his breath. He finally catches his breath and looks up to see no one. Before he could say anything very heavy mist began to form around him forming an ice sword in hand he prepared himself for his enemy.
''Subclavian artery, jugular, liver, spleen. How do you wish to die?'' Zabuza asked menacingly.
Hearing Zabuza's voice in the mist unnerved Bi-Han but he kept his guard and waited for his enemy to show himself.
''Reveal yourself now!''
A few minutes of silence filled the air and unaware of it, Bi-Han failed to notice Zabuza's silhouette dashing from behind him. Soon he felt a sharp pain in his upper arm and saw a throwing spike in it causing him to drop his ice sword. He goes to take it out and he was too busy to notice the figure coming his way swinging the beheading sword wildly.
He only looks up at the last second and Zabuza severs his right arm passed the elbow causing him to scream at his lump. His screams killed the silence and he could only watch as Zabuza disappeared into the mist again. A few more seconds would pass before Zabuza emerged spinning his blade and severs Bi-Han's other arm. Bi-Han screamed in sheer terror and pain and the bloodloss causes him to fall onto his knees.
He looks at the ground weakly before sensing a presence in front of him and he looks up to see Zabuza swinging his beheading sword. The blade severs his head in a gory spectacle rolling several feet away.
Mist Ninjas: 1 - Lin Kuei: 0
Zabuza watches as the body falls over and the precious blood begins spurting from the wound. Putting his sword down he daps his fingers with some of the blood and drags his fingers across Bi-Han's chest.
The Mist Ninja then clenches his bloodied hand and smirks at the corpse.
''You really thought you could beat me?''

Following a bloody and brutal battle between two very similar warriors it would be the Mist Ninjas who emerged victorious with 53.3% of the wins to the Lin Kuei's 46.7%. It was largely in part to their more powerful close range weapons and the extra range of their water release. The Lin Kuei proved to be very serious threats with their cryokinesis but it wasn't enough.
''The Lin Kuei lost because even though they were just as deadly and stealthy as the Mist Ninjas they came up short because when things came down to close range they were chopped down to size.'' DAM explained.
''While the Lin Kuei were able to deliver some devastating blows to the Mist Ninjas with their cryokinesis, melee combat fell in favor of the ninjas and the greater range of their water release pulled victory their way.'' Zivon added.
''Well, I guess it isn't too surprising, most Lin Kuei really don't have cryokinesis abilities but they were still able to give the Mist Ninjas a challenge in close quarters. But it looks like the ninjas take this one today.'' Demigod said.
''The Mist Ninjas had greater versatility with their water release and they were able to drown the Lin Kuei a number of times. Chalk this one up to the ninjas from the Bloody Mist.'' Rice Man concluded.
''This is the result of a simulation. Had this been a real battle we would freeze these Mist Ninjas to death and shatter them.'' Kuai Liang said in disapproval.
''Haha! We won! There was no doubt in my mind we would defeat these icy losers! Kuai Liang can't stand up to me!'' Zabuza cackled.
(The surviving Mist Ninja was seen bowing before his Mizukage with the weapons of the Lin Kuei laid out before her. Nodding she dismisses him to prepare plans to fight the Lin Kuei knowing they had to be from a village they have not encountered.)
