76 Chunin Exams Break!?!?! (1/2)
The audience saw cracking and more cracking until eventually…
*BOOOOOM*
Shira was crashed into the arena's floor with the webs cracking upon impact and revealing his partially destroyed state. He was bleeding from his head and it looked as if he was a broken doll sprawled upon the ground. Fu gently flew towards him with her Eight Gates bug wings and smiled.
”It was a fun match Shira-kun! Your muscles look very cool!” Fu said while doing muscular poses.
The referee hopped in the ring and checked on Shira before calling the results.
”Is he still trying to get up?”
”Whoa he is twitching down there! He isn't done yet!”
”That courage is remarkable.”
Shira's fingers twitched as he tried to lift himself up. He shouted out in pain as he forced his body to give in to his demands. He smashed his fist to the ground in determination. Fu watched as her new friend wanted to play some more but decided that it would be better for him if he took a rest.
”Are you going to call it or what Ref!?” Sho yelled reluctantly.
The referee ignored him as Shira continued his struggle. The audience cheered Shira on. Fu happily sighed at she looked at her new friend trying so hard. She disappeared and smashed her rounded shield into his gut. Forcing him to spit out blood and finally lose consciousness.
Not many people liked this outcome and started to boo her. The referee could even be seen looking at her with slight disgust. But regardless of how he feels, he called Fu the winner and stayed on the heavily destroyed arena from the past matches. With the giant hole in the arena with some parts burned and others cracked.
”Despite how heartless she was, it was the correct choice for an enemy shinobi. However, this is just the chunin exams. She didn't need to be so cruel.”
”Those three are from the Village Hidden in Demons? No wonder their power is so destructive and behavior so heartless.”
”Those were the only team sent from that village as well. I wonder where their jonin captain is..?”
It was at this time a break was called. The electronic board turned off as the audience and judges/VIP's huddled off. The remaining 5 contestants were confused.
”I didn't know there were breaks in the chunin exams.” Fu said confusedly.
”There aren't.” Khael said.
”Oh no… This sounds like trouble.. and not the peaceful kind of trouble.” Sho whined.
”Something is happening. Follow me.” Khael said.
”Wait Why!? Why does it matter if something is happening? We should just stay right here and continue doing nothing. What if they disqualify us!?” Sho rapidly spat out.
Khael stopped as she thought about why was she about to leave. 'Teacher told me to gain attention for the village… Nothing else was told.. And I don't feel much for this place..'
”You're right Sho. But I'm still going. There could be something useful for the village going on.” Khael declared.
With a heavy sigh, Sho got off his back and looked at Khael.
”If you really wanted to find out what's happening, I'll do it. Your power doesn't show that well in information gathering and I don't want you getting caught up in something you shouldn't.” Sho said.
Sho started to rapidly draw upon his scroll as he created multiple tiny cartoonish creatures that soon spread out and started to follow the hokage and the other VIP's. Fu was happily talking with the other contestants as Sho and Khael activated their Byakugan to look at the important people. For a while nothing was happening as they started to discuss until things look as if they were getting heated up between Temari and some of the other important guests. Gaara started talking and seemingly appeared to settle the rising tension between them. Then they looked out towards the Demon Desert, the second exam stage, and saw two figures in the Akatsuki robes. Gaara stood in the front. Temari and Shikamaru to his sides. Sand shinobi started to prepare for battle as they took positions on top of the coliseum and all around it. Other sand shinobi started to evacuate the guests and contestants in preparation.
One of the Akatsuki members had the appearance of a child. The only thing that was visible about him was his bandaged mouth, white hair, and red eyes. However for Khael and Sho who had the Byakugan, the managed to see far more than the average shinobi. They saw through his cloak and saw that most of his body was covered in bandages. He had a stitched scar on the left side of his chest and a sort of weak or drained body. As if he really was a mummy. The second one however wasn't wearing the classic Akatsuki robes that most people know them of by now. He was wearing a beekeeper outfit in the Akatsuki colors with the clouds on it. Khael and Sho saw far more though underneath his suit. The insides of his body was filled with bees and wasps!
”Doesn't he seem like that quiet guy Jabie-sensei's clone trained for three years?” Sho asked.
”Yes. He's similar.” Khael responded.
”Maybe he's from the same clan as him. They both got bugs inside their bodies.” Sho suggested.
Khael just continued to look at the two members as the reached the entrance of the coliseum. The Akatsuki members stared at Gaara and his forces who seemed as if they prepared for them ahead of time. A giant image of the mummy Akatsuki member appeared in the sky. Contrary to his appearance, his voice was actually more like a young handsome gentleman rather than a childish voice.
”We've come for the Jinchūriki. Come peacefully or face destruction.” He threatened.
Gaara walked forward.
”Come then and face the strength of the Hidden Sand Village! Together we stand and together we will fall.” Gaara said back.
The image of the Akatsuki member shattered and his partner finally took action. A massive swarm of bees and wasps of different colors and sizes started to rapidly fly out from Beekeeper's suit towards the coliseum. Gaara used the nearby sand in the desert to combat against the creatures. He rose and manipulated the sand to crush and try and stop the insects from coming closer, but they were too many and also too tiny. Temari and the rest of the sand ninjas joined in. The sand ninjas jumped down to attack the Akatsuki members while Temari brandished her fan and swung. Slicing and cutting many of the insects apart.
The child-like Akatsuki member combated against the incoming sand shinobis with ease. He used his bandages wrapped around his body and manipulated it with chakra to stretch to incredible ranges. He sliced the sand shinobi in half with just his bandages and jumped towards the wind ninjutsu that Temari just produced. He held out his palm and strangely the wind jutsu was sucked into his hand.
”What!?” Temari shouted.
Shikamaru was giving orders to the sand shinobi as Gaara was continuing to deal with the sea of insects. The sand shinobi went after the Beekeeper along with Shikamaru. The child-like Akatsuki member held out his palm that just absorbed Temari's wind jutsu and suddenly shot out light blue flames towards the motionless Gaara and Temari.
”Tch! Fire ninjutsu against me? How reckless!” Temari yelled.
She swung her fan once again producing slicing and lacerating winds towards the blue flames. However the blue flames did not get fed to her wind ninjutsu and instead the blue flames only grew in size as they flew towards Temari and Gaara. Temari's shocked expression forced Gaara to move. He tried to use his personal sand to block the attack, but it seems someone beat him to it. A familiar puppet appeared in front of Temari and used the shield on top of its body to block the attack.
”Kankuro!” Temari said.
”Haha. Don't get too riled up Sis.” Kankuro said with three puppets at the ready.
”Let's go.” Gaara stated as he created four sand clouds for them to stand on including Shikamaru.
