Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Destinies Changed ❯ Arrival and Meetings Pt. 1 ( Chapter 1 )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Two combatants stood facing each other in a courtyard, both of them trying hard to stare ech other down. The one to the left was a young man with straight black hair down to his back. He wore tan jacket and black shorts, both his hands bandaged. His left arm was banadaged up to the elbow while his right was banadaged up to his shoulder. His right leg was also bandaged up completely. On his right thigh was a pouch. He wore blue open toed sandals. He stood in a relaxed stance, his left hand up at chest level, palm foward. His right was by his hip, palm facing the sky, slightly crouched. On his head was a black headband, that occasionally caught the light, reflecting it off the metal centerpiece with a spiral leaf cut into it. However, the thing that stood out the most about him was his eyes, pale lavender pupils on white irises. The veins around his eyes stood out in relief as he glared at his opponent.
His opponent stood in a similar stance, glaring back with equal intensity. He wore a pair of black pants with a pale blue t-shirt, the collar slightly higher than normal. On his right hip was a pouch similar to the other's. He also wore a short sword on his back, horizontally across his back. His hands were also bandaged, merely to the wrists. This young man's hair fell just past his shoulders, spikey and black. His bangs split down the sides of his face, framing it. Unlike the other, he wore no headband. He also wore open toed sandals, his black. His eyes were also his most striking feature, matching his opponent's eyes down to the bulging veins. His glare was accompanied by a superior smirk.
"Hyuuga Neji. The so-called genius of the Hyuuga clan. Hmph, I wonder just how much of a genius you are. I am Murasaki Shiro eldest son of Hyuuga Yumei, thought to have died during the Kyuubi no kitsune attack. I have come to prove myself worthy to be a member of the Hyuuga main branch family. Hyuuga Hisashi has decided that you will be my opponent," called out the second young man.
To this the first replied. "Hmph. You believe you can defeat me? Think otherwise. I would sooner become a member of the main branch than lose to a fake Hyuuga. I don't know who you are, but you WILL lose." Neji replied.
That said, he charged Shiro, thrusting out with his left palm, aglow with chakra. Shiro leaned back, dodging the attack narrowly, countering by grabbing the front of Neji's jacket and rolling backwards, planting his feet in Neji's stomach to boost him into the air. Neji flew a few feet before he recovered and flipped around, landing to face Shiro. He quickly whipped out a kunai, using it to counter the shuriken thrown at him. Tossing his head to the right, he dodged a punch to the face, blocked many rapid fire punches, then countered with a leg sweep. Shiro flipped backwards twice, then lept into the air, flinging a few kunai at Neji. Neji dodged them and followed Shiro into the air, spiking him towards the ground. Shiro recovered and landed on his feet just before he hit the ground and lept backwards, dodging a second overhead strike. Neji growled slightly when he landed. In the dust kicked up by his landing he had lost sight of Shiro. Scanning the area around him, he noticed Shiro attacking silently from behind him to the right with his sword. As Shiro began a downward diagonal slash, Neji smirked and started spinning in place, emitting blue chakra. Calling out, "Kaiten!" he spun rapidly, a dome of chakra covering protecting him while throwing Shiro back similtaneously. Unnoticed by any, Shiro's eyes flashed red, spirals showing for a brief instant in his pupils, a smirk on his face before he was thrown. Shiro recovered and landed on his feet, sliding back a short ways. His sword flew through the air and landed blade down in the dirt a few yards away.
"Che.." grumbled Shiro, rubbing his hand gently. Smiling suddenly, he lept high into the air, his hands flying through many handseals before he called out, "Katon: Gokakyou no Jutsu!" and spit out a large fireball, to the suprise of Neji and the members of the Hyuuga family council, who were watching the fight. Neji, unable to dodge in time due to his surprise, once again called out "Kaiten!" and formed his protective dome of chakra. A enormous explosion erupted, filling the courtyard with smoke and dirt. With his vision obscured by the smoke, Shiro landed and quickly ran in the direction of his sword, scooping it up as he ran by. Pulling out a few tags and some wire he set about setting a complex trap before the air cleared. Once finished, he jumped into a tree and hid for the moment, knowing that with Neji's Byakuyan, he would be found quickly.
After the explosion erupted, Neji, even with the protection of his Kaiten, was thrown backwards, hitting the ground and sliding on his back for a few feet before he came to a stop. Hissing softly, he stood. Neji was upset. No, more like enraged. He should have been prepared. How could he have been caught by surprise by a mere kid, not even a genin yet? He was going to end this, soon. He stood patiently, ready to react at a moment's notice, waiting for the air to clear. As soon as it did, he searched the clearing for Shiro, wondering why he hadn't attacked yet. Smirking when he found him, his hand entered his pouch. 'Doesn't he know I can see him? What is the use of hiding? If he possesses the Byakugan as he claims, then he should know there is no hiding from me. Perhaps his isn't as developed as mine, if indeeed he has one.'
Shouting, "I can see everything, including you!" Neji began throwing a barrage of kunai and shuriken at Shiro. Shiro jumped out of the tree, dodging the incoming projectiles, then lept back, dodging more kunai. He blocked the few remaining weapons with his sword, sheathing quickly when he noticed Neji charging him once more. Neji suddenly picked up speed, getting in Shiro's face before he could react and began stabbing at him with his fingers. Shiro took a few hits to his chest before he could muster up a defense, redirecting Neji's fingers rather than blocking them. He was wary of Neji's fingers, which glowed with chakra. As Neji attacked he noticed Shiro was getting progressively better at avoiding his attacks, so he lashed out with a foot, catching Shiro in the chest and sending him flying a few feet back.
Shiro rebound off the ground to his feet and returned the attack with vengence, moving at the same speed as Neji. Neji soon found himself blocking and dodging much as Shiro had been doing previously. His attacks drove Neji backwards, forcing him to lose ground in a seeming relentless barrage. Shiro went for a low sweep, causing Neji to jump into the air. Shiro anticipated this and immediately went into a high roundhouse, catching Neji midair. Neji flew back and hit one of the few trees in the courtyard falling to his knees. As he stood, he froze. He had stepped on a tripwire. Shiro had maneuvered Neji into a trap. "Give it up Neji. That tripwire your standing on will set off 6 explosive tags if your weight is removed. Do you think Kaiten will save you? Do you think your chakra is faster than those tags? IF you surrender, I will diffuse the trap." Shiro smirked and smugly remarked. He stood, completely relaxed, his arms folded over his chest. "Well? I've got plenty of time to sit here and wait for you to figure it out that you've lost."
Growling, Neji sighed and admitted defeat. "You....you've won this one Shiro. I forfeit. But make no mistake, I will defeat you. You may have outsmarted me today, but that won't happen a second time." Once Neji forfeited, Shiro carefully stepped past Neji and cut a near invisible wire hidden along a branch. Once he did so, he removed all the tags and began collecting his wire. Neji glared at him as he walked by, going to stand behind Hisashi. Shiro stood infront of him after he collected all of his wire and smirked at him. "Need you more proof? Oor should I show you how strong my byakugan is? I think my range of sight is close to Neji-san's." Neji growled at the use of his name, bu said nothing. Hisashi watched Shiro impassively for a few mintues. Shiro stood, staring back, the smirk never leaving his face. Hisashi thought, 'The Hyuuga arrogance is there, that's for certain.' "Murasaki Shiro. Our analysts have examined your document. The handwriting and chakra do match that of the late Yumei. It seems that you are telling the truth. As such, it is your right to be recognized as a member of the Main Branch, regardless of the outcome of the fight. However, this fight has allowed us to measure your ability in the clan taijutsu as well as your ability to fight and think like a ninja. You showed exceptional skill in your fight with Neji, but I must ask, where and how did you learn the Gokakyu no jutsu?"
Shiro blinked and stared at Hisashi for a few seconds before he started laughing, much to Hisashi's annoyance. "Ha ha ha, oh I'm sorry, forgive me...It's just I forgot mom said that the Hyuuga clan sticks exclusively to their clan techniques. She warned me to be careful. Man, I'm sooo gonna get it when she hear's about this. Anyway, I learned that from my father, along with many other techniques." He shrugged. Hisashi raised an eyebrow, then asked, "And who is your father?" Shiro replied "My father? He was also reported to have died during the Kyuubi no kitsune atack. His name is..."
A/N: Soo what do you think? How will Shiro do in the world of Naruto? Don't worry I won't make him uber-powerful, but I will make him pretty strong. Review! Suggestions are nice but please don't flame me too badly. Nah, gimme your best. I'll let Shiro burn 'em to a cinder to increase his chakra reserves. Seriously though, tell me what you think. This will be a ShiroxHinata pairing. I think Hinata's awesome and hot. Besides, Naruto seems to like the abusive type. ^_^ It might end up being a ShiroxHarem fic if I feel like it.
His opponent stood in a similar stance, glaring back with equal intensity. He wore a pair of black pants with a pale blue t-shirt, the collar slightly higher than normal.
