Chapter 9 The Final rounds part 1
The Third Hokage stood above the village watching ad various leaders of Ninja and lands approached the village. However his attention was on the four newest allies of the ninja lands. King Leonidas and his body guard of 300 spartans and various other Greeks of high importance to the country.
Next from England was a group of highly trained soldiers from SAS including Julia's older brother Soap Mactavish.
Next from Russia a group of highly skilled Commandos led by Makarov appeared walking through the city gates.
And finally from Persia Emperor Xerxes and his honor guard the Immortals. Allied with all three countries after the end of the Greek Persian war. Xerxes was carried to the stadium by his followers.
Also arriving were the other three Kage.
A the Raikage.
Onoki the Tsuchikage.
And Mei the Mizukage.
'At last the final members of the new alliance have arrived.' Hiruzen said.
In the center of the field Sean and the others stood waiting for the finals to begin.
"How much longer is this going to take?" Sean asked.
"Why got a hot date?" Kankuro asked making Temari's eyes twitch before bonking him on the head with her fan.
"Maybe why Jealous?" Sean asked making him growl.
"Alright enough." A leaf ninja said dropping down in front of them.
"Hey wheres that proctor from the preliminaries? Hayate or whatever?" Reznov asked.
"Regretfully Hayate was killed during the month of training." The ninja said surprising them all. "I am Genma and I will be taking over as the proctor of the final exam. Now everyone but Sean and Neji clear out." Genma said getting everyone else to leave.
Up in the Kage stand the five Kages and their new allies sat down. King Leonidas, Makarov, Captain Price and Emperor Xerxes sat down with their new allies.
"So we finally get to meet the new allies of the ninja lands. I wouldn't have expected three foreigners to come this far in the exams." Onoki said making Leonidas smirk.
"All three of them are full of surprises. As you are about to see." Leonidas said.
"Reznov has trained beyond his limits for the pride of Mother Russia." Makarov said.
"So has Julia. Soap made sure she wasn't slacking off." Price said.
"Why does Persia not have anyone in the exams?" A asked making Xerxes chuckle.
"We didn't have anyone with enough skill in the youth group to participate. Anyone who did was to old to participate. Besides. In our alliance these three work the best together." Xerxes said.
Sean and Neji stood in the center looking at one another.
"You look like you have something to say. Not like it will matter but go ahead for it might be the last thing you ever say." Neji said and shivered feeling every Greek glaring at him for his words.
"What a disrespectful brat." Captain Artemis said glaring at him.
"Is this how your ninja respect their opponents?" Xerxes asked the Hokage.
"Neji has issues and is far to arrogant since his father's death." Hiruzen said.
"I only have one thing to say." Sean said taking his blades out. "I will make sure you suffer for your brutality to Hinata." Sean said glaring at him with his yellow slitted eyes.
"Your nothing but a worthless foreigner. Why the Hokage bothered allying with your worthless country is beyond me." Neji said.
"ENOUGH OF WORDS! DESTROY HIM! FOR SPARTA FOR GREECE!" Stelios yelled.
"HO! HO! HO!" Greeks yelled.
"Well you heard them." Sean said before dashing at Neji and kneed him in the stomach hard making Neji cough up blood before wrapping a chain around him and swung him into the trees and into a wall. Neji was soon able to free himself.
"Is that the best you can do?" Neji asked before groaning in pain.
"Not even close." Sean said using his blood bending to cause agonizing pain in his body before some of his blood came out of his body allowing Sean to form a spear of blood and threw it at him only for Neji using sheer will power to use his headband to take the attack which destroyed it and in so doing revealed something on his head. It was some kind of green seal on his forehead.
"What in the hell is that?" Sean asked making Neji glare at him and tried to charge at trying to move in for the kill but Sean just punched him in the stomach making him cough up blood.
"HO! HO! HO!" The Greeks yelled.
"I asked what the hell that thing on your head is now answer me." Sean said making Neji growl.
"Very well. As you'r so interested, I'll tell you about it. The Hyuga clan's heritage of hatred." Neji said in anger making Sean raise an eyebrow. "For generations, the main household of our clan has practiced a secret ninjutsu known as the cursed mark jutsu. The seal you see on my head." Neji said. "The Curse mark is a symbol of a bird locked in its cage. It's the mark of those who are bound to a destiny they cannot escape." Neji said.
'Oh not this speech again.' Sean thought in his head.
"I was four years old when the leaders of my clan branded this symbol on my forehead." Neji said making Leonidas, Makarov, Price and Xerxes narrow their eyes at Hiruzen.
"You allow this barbaric tradition?" Leonidas asked.
"No I don't but theres nothing I can do about it. The Hyuga clan elders refuse to let this tradition be terminated." Hiruzen said.
"Well then I suppose he will." Makarov said.
"On that same day, a great celebration took place in the village. After many years of war, a peace agreement had at last been reached with the land of lightning and they had sent the head cloud ninja to sign the treaty and join in the celebration. Everyone was there to welcome our old enemies." Neji said.
"I'm assuming thats not entirely true." Sean said.
"Correct. One clan was absent during all this The Hyuga clan. Because this was the day on which the heir to the main household was to turn 3." Neji said making Sean look at Hinata. "Her father and mine..." Neji tried to say.
"Are twins I already know that. Let me guess he was born first and your father last right?" Sean asked.
"You catch on quickly I'll give you that. On that same day I was giving the cursed mark and I was made a bird in a cage by my own uncle." Neji said.
"Sheesh you ninja clans have really fucked up traditions. Who even does that to their own family?" Sean asked getting various Greeks to agree with him.
"Regretfully ours does. And it's not for decoration I can assure you and I'm pretty sure you can assume what its used for." Neji said.
"For control. But I'm also guessing that it deactivates those eyes of yours right?" Sean asked.
"Indeed. It's to protect the Byakugan." Neji said.
"Thats fucking stupid." Sean said surprising him. "Do they have the same marks on them to deactivate their eyes as well or is it just the branch family? If the later your clan is full of fucking morons!" Sean yelled getting every Greek to agree. "I highly doubt the others from the four countries will even agree to be allied with a nation that lets this stand." Sean said.
"What are you talking about?" Neji asked.
"Continue your story and I'll explain." Sean said.
"Very well. One night, someone entered the main household and abducted lady Hinata. Lord Hiashi quickly caught and killed the man." Neji said.
"Wait a second let me guess. The head ninja was the one who tried to abduct her right?" Sean asked.
"Yes. However the land of lightning was shocked about this and demanded retribution." Neji said.
Leonidas and the others looked at A.
"I didn't order that mission. Members of my Civilian council did that behind my back to gain power and over throw me. I had them executed for this. However the damage had already been done." A said.
"This is why I hate civilians at times. Always to greedy." Price said.
"Agreed." Makarov said.
"What exactly did they want?" Sean asked.
"A life for a life. Hiashi's life." Neji said.
"Wait but..." Sean said looking at his uncle and back before his eyes widen. "Oh I see what this is about. They killed your father to pose as him since they were twins. But let me ask you something." Sean said.
"Yes?" Neji asked.
"Are you sure he was forced to pose as him or did he do it willingly to save his brother?" Sean asked making his eyes widen since he never really considered that at all. "You'd be surprise what brothers will do for brothers. Mine on the other hand is uh complicated to say the least. Neji you say that the Main household can use this seal at any time including Hinata. But look back closely. Hinate had every chance to use it but didn't because she cares about you and still does." Sean said making him widen his eyes further.
"I..." Neji tried to say.
"Believe me from experience Hatred can blind a person to whats around him. My country and my allies will no doubt talk to your clan about this cage bird seal. And to start that off." Sean said placing his free palm on his forehead before it started to glow before removing his palm. "There." Sean said grinning before Neji used what was left of his hand band and widen his eyes seeing the mark was gone.
"But...How?" Neji asked.
"While you ninja use Jutsu me and my Greek brothers and Sisters use Magic which is more powerful than Jutsu a hundred times over. And we can make sure this worthless mark is never used again for the rest of time. However I won't do it unless you turn a new leaf uh figuratively speaking." Sean said since the village was called the hidden leaf village making a few Greeks laugh. Neji looked at Sean for a moment before smirking.
"Proctor I surrender." Neji said.
"Winner of the first match. Sean Ashburn Kruger." Genma said.
"HO! HO! HO!" The greeks cheered.
"Why do they do that again?" Neji asked making Sean chuckle.
"Don't ruin it for them man. Besides it's a Greek thing." Sean said as Neji walked back to the stands.
'Sean...Thank you.' Hinata thought.
"Hmm. When you said he could change almost anyone you truly meant it Leonidas." Hiruzen said making the King of Sparta laugh.
"He's just like his grandfather. Seeking to do things peacefully when giving the chance." Leonidas said.
"So I see." Mei said while giving Sean a look and smiled.
'Handsome, strong, Passionate and kind. I wonder if he's available?' Mei thought.
"Well that was nice of you." Temari said to Sean who smirked.
"It's in my blood to help those in need. Like your brother." Sean said making her smile.
"Now for the next Match. Reznov vs Make up boy." Genma said making every Russian burst out laughing even Makarov couldn't help but chuckle along with the Kazekage while Kankuro looked so furious.
"ITS WAR PAINT!" Kankuro roared.
"Are you sure? I've seen women with similar purple make up on them." Reznov said.
"THATS IT YOUR DEAD RUSSIAN BOY!" Kankuro roared.
"Sure keep telling yourself that." Reznov said.
