Naruto: Dawn of a new era.

Looking back at Keiji, he was dumbfounded at what he saw.


"What the hell did you do? What is that thing, it resembles that of a ghost, but then it doesn't. It is too large." Shini said aloud as he placed his kunai back in his pocket and withdrew the kunai from off his back.


"One....two....three horns! This is going to be crazy. Be ready for anything at this point in time. Stick with range. I think we....." Shini was cut off by the sheer speed that creature possessed.


The great monster was a little taller then he was, but it moved at the speed a little faster then him. As the great creature slammed him into the wall, Shini coughed up a little blood. His hands went limp and his blades fell to the ground and he was held up against the wall by the creatures hand around his torso. Taking in a few deep breaths, Shini glanced around the room to spot Keiji.


"Try to keep a distance with this thing. It is pretty strong." Shini said as he forced his hands together in a tiger handseal.
 
Keiji spun and saw Shini get pasted up against the wall. Gritting his teeth, and lostening the chains that attached his claw to his right hand, he lashed out at the Ghost's arm pinning Shini to the wall. The chain wrapped around and the claw bit deep into the ghost's arm and held tight.


"Let him go you beast!" Keiji swung down with both hands gripped on the chain, and it was just enough to slip the ghost's grip on Shini.


"Duck and cover!"


without letting go of the chained arm, Keiji did a few quick hand seals.


"Hidden Art, Darkness Bindings!"


Dark arms reached out of the claw biting into the ghost's arm, and flailed out, trying to get a grip on the ghost itself. The ghost lashed out in an attempt to shake it, sending the chain and Keiji sailing through the air, only to make a painful sudden stop against the side of a pillar.
 
As the giant beasts arm let go of him, he fell to the ground, crouching down to his knees, still forming the tiger hand seal. Taking in quick, shallow breaths, he looked up at the beast flailing with Keiji on his arm. Throwing Keiji off his arm, he seen his friend hit the large pillar.


"You bastard." Shini said under his breath.


Getting to his feet, Shini quickly formed another handseal and ran at the beast. Keeping the seal active was the key to his bloodline. The downfall, is in this place, it was going to be pretty difficult. Leaping into the air, he smiled as he exhaled a very dense, very bright, very hot liquid.


"Plasma style! burning sun!" Shini yelled as the plasma coated the back of the creature.


A loud howl escaped the creature as it was scalded by the plasma. Landing on the ground, he stumbled to get his footing. Huffing and puffing from the sheer amount of chakra he had to put into that was insane. He pretty much used 3 times the chakra to get it to that state. Who knows how long he would be able to last.
 
The monster shrieked in agony as the smell of burning flesh filled the air, shaking back and forth splattering the area around with tiny droplets of superheated plasma that burned dimples into the pavement wherever they landed.


"Shadow style iron bindings!" Keiji shouted as he struggled back up to his feet and clasping his hands together, locking them tight.


Black chains burst from the ground and latched onto the ghost, pinning the thrashing creature to the ground. The plasma sizzled against the chains where it touched, but the chains held tight.


"Shini, Now! Take out the head!"
 
As he stood there out of breath, staring at the beast, he charged his chakra in his left hand.


"I'm not sure if this will work. That last attack took a lot out of me. Forcing those two to combine." Shini said as his hand started to faintly glow and crackle.


Leaping off the ground, Shini ran full force at the creature and shot his hand out with lightning quick speed and made a sword out of lightning. The sword cut through the creature's neck like hot knife through butter. Though as his sword got deeper into the creatures neck, it started to slightly 'regenerate'.
 
Keeping his seal tightly clutched to hold down the ghost, Keiji snaked his shadow arms back from where his claw was still digging into the ghost's arm. The hands snaked up over the ghost's shoulder and down to it's neck, grasping at the cut from both sides. With a grunt of effort, Keiji tore the ghost's head off, and it flopped to the ground, it's head still gaped open and shut angrily.


"Damn monster!" Keiji screamed through gritted teeth, "I don't think it's dead yet!"
 
As the plasma burnt the horns on the creatures elbows, Shini's lightning blade was free and he looked at the head that lay upon the ground.


"Stupid beast! You die here." Shini said as he walked over and cut through the beasts horn.


As he cut the horn, the beast seamed to melt away.


"Well now. You have gotten better with that shadow technique of yours." Shini said to Keiji.
 
The shadows retracted as the ghost melted away into ectoplasm, dragging with it, the claws which reattached itself to Keiji's right arm.


"Thanks, that plasma goo you were throwing around seemed to burn quite a bit brighter too. But what IS it that we just killed. it was like those ghosts on the outside, but a LOT bigger and a LOT meaner. And who was it that ran into the temple just before we did?"
 
"I have only seen a ghost with one horn. I have never seen anything with three horns before. This is all new for me." Shini replied.


Looking around at the empty temple, Shini thought to himself for a little.


"I am not sure if anyone just ran in here. The door on the outside looks as if it has not been touched in ages. Could there possibly be another way into this place? Maybe like a secret passage way or something?" Shini asked as he continued to look around the empty courtyard.
 
:: Tasuki stoodup, and bowed to Gari ::


Tasuki: "thank yo very much forthis piece of history, i will definaely rememer it"


:: she stood there with her head down ::


Tasuki: "umm... i'm sorry but... may i please leave? i won't lie... being here is making me feel uncomfortable, and i am hoping to train some of my Jutsu"
 
Keiji nodded.


"Good thinking, search the area for any hidden passages or chambers. the more we can find out about this place the better. In the meantime I have to send in our report so far. Got anything you wanna say in it?"


Reaching deep into one of his pockets Keiji drew out a tiny vial filled with a dark, sluggish liquid. Uncapping it, he dripped two or three drops on the ground, where the shadows instantly condensed into a dark bottomless well, about eight inches across. Drawing out the report scroll, he scribbled out a few notes and shoved it into the sludgy pit of darkness. The darkness ripple as the scroll passed through then snapped shut leaving no trace behind.
 
“No thanks. Not right now.” Shini replied to Keiji.


Lookiing away from Keiji and towards the wall, Shini spotted a slightest discoloration. Could it be through age, or something else? Walking over to the wall, Shini was still stumped about the wall. Placing his hand upon the wall, it sent a chill through his body. Pondering about what just happened, Shini reached into his pocket and withdrew a small orange scroll. Placing it upon the ground, Shini did a string of handseals, before placing his palm upon the scroll.


“Lightning summoning.” Shini said as small cloud of bugs appeared.


“All right guys. Scatter and search this place.” Shini said to the small group of lightning bugs.


As they dispersed, Shini looked back at Keiji who just finished sending off the report.


“So what did you tell him?” Shini asked as he walked towards Keiji.

As Riyoshi left his house and walked the streets of the hidden shadow village, he wondered if he should train today. After all, he trained everyday for the past four years. MAybe he would just take the day off and hang out with his classmates. Walking through the streets, he peered into the training field to see one of his classmates throwing shuriken at a swinging disc.


"HEY! What are you doing?" Riyoshi said as he turned and proceeded into the training field.
 
Sitting up in a tree, a bruised and banged up young teen sat with a roll of bandages and two bottles of pain ointment in front of her. Unraveling a bandage, she wrapped it around her shin, wincing as the fabric covered the fresh slice. Unfortunately for her, an element had started peaking through in her skills, and hadn't Dad been proud then. Till he had tried triggering the bloodline and when his attempt flopped, he had gotten mad, very very fast.


Uncapping a bottle, Masa sighed, putting a little of the ointment on her fingers, she rubbed it onto the smarting bruise on her cheek, and onto her right shoulder. A slight tingling came from it, and she sighed, leaning back in the tree. Looking at the sky, she scoured and flipped off the sun, "Why'd you make me first born, huh? Or hell, why didn't you swap Shin's place with mine...?"
 
The kid looked back at Riyoshi and his eyes widened.


"You....your Riyoshi.....your great!" The kid said as he locked up in place.


Riyoshi cracked out a smile as he heard this kid kind of praise him. He placed his hand upon the kid's shoulder and looked him in the eyes.


"You can't just praise me. I had help from my team. Speaking of which, where is yours?" Riyoshi asked.


The kid looked towards the ground then exhaled slowly.


"Let me guess. They ditched you?" Riyoshi asked.


"Yea, because i could not hit the target. They said i would never amount to anything if i was not able to hit the target." The kid said as he looked back up at Riyoshi.


Riyoshi thought for a minute while looking around the training field. Spotting what looked like his cousin, Riyoshi looked back at the kid.


"Tell me what you are having trouble with." Riyoshi asked.


"I keep missing the target, my shots are always late and miss their mark." The kid replied.


Chuckling a little and smiling, Riyoshi looked over at the swinging target.


"Let me guess, you throw it when the target is at the bottom of the swing? Try throwing it before the target gets to the bottom, and it might hit it." Riyoshi said as he removed his hand from the kids shoulder.


"I have to take off for now, you keep practicing. I know you will get it." Riyoshi said as he took off in full sprint for the tree with a person in it.
 
Leaning back on the tree, she let her uninjured leg swing down while she examined her right arm. Masa cut another length of bandage and wrapped it around the few cuts she had there as well. Hearing a dull fast past pounding noise, she looked down towards the ground. Seeing someone running towards her tree, she twitched a little, ducking herself lower onto her branch and pulling a few leafy branches closer to her.
 
Sliding to a stop, Riyoshi just looked into the tree, seeing a girl just cover herself.


"Hey cuz, You aren't hiding very well. Why are you up there anyway?" Riyoshi asked.
 
Groaning a little, Masa moved the branch just enough so she could look down at her cousin. "What does it matter?" She asked sharply, really not wanting to explain herself.
 
"I guess it does not matter. I was just wondering because i was just going to see if you wanted to hang out with me outside the village and the training today." Riyoshi replied to his cousin.


Reaching his hand down into his side pouch, he pulled out a small scroll and tossed it up at Masa.


"If you decide to come, meet me at this location." Riyoshi said as he leaped from the ground and headed for the north side of the training grounds.
 
Catching the scroll, Masa sighed a little, feeling guilty. Riyoshi never did anything wrong, so why was she being so mean to him. Grabbing her bandages and sticking them in her bag, she jumped down from the tree, wincing a little. "Hey, wait up..." Following after him, she pushed the longer side of her bangs behind her ear and walked a bit faster to catch up with him, a slight limp in her walk. "I'm..sorry for snapping at you, I'm just really up tight today..."
 
He was walking through the vast field and saw two familiar people. One was a guy he was interested in because of past experience and one was someone he was giving special attention to after years. Akatani slowly walked towards the two. His red hair flew with the breeze as he approached them silently cause of his bad habit. Not too far away, he could already hear them talking.


He gently gave Masa a pat on the shoulder "Did I miss anything?" he asked.
 
Peeking over his shoulder at Akatani, Riyoshi smiled.


"How are you. Would you like to come hang out with us today? We are skipping training today." Riyoshi said as he placed his hands in his pockets.


As they walked to the north side of the training field, they came upon a small river with a thick lining of trees on the other side.
 
Feeling the pat on her shoulder, Masa resisted the urge to jump. The voice alone gave away who it was without her needing to turn around. Looking back at him though, she smiled, "Yes...you should come with us, it'll be fun."
 
He looked over where Riyoshi was after hearing him then looked at Masami. He looked away as he was thinking over their offer. He placed his his hands in his pockets.


"I'm not sure that's a good idea, Nihoma-kun. You still have no idea how strict my family is with training." he declined with his usual formality for the moment.


He was afraid he'd be punished afterwards though the thought of being with Masami tempted him a little.
 
"Whats the big idea? You have been training for the last 4 years. They can not just give you a little day off? We are just going to go somewhere." Riyoshi replied to Akatani.


Charging his chakra into his feet, he jumped across the river and landed on the ground on the other side. Walking to the trees, he stopped and peered over his shoulder.



"Last chance to hop on board the fun train." Riyoshi called out as he awaited the responses.
