Shinobi: The Next Generation

Chapter 5: The Preliminaries: 1st Match: Yamo Tsuris vs. Neko

 

Yawning, Shio walked towards the arena, Sakura and Haru way ahead of him, walking as if they hadn't a care in the world. His jaws creaked as he let another yawn loose, stretching his arms above his head. I should have practiced harder yesterday, he thought to himself, Haru and Sakura can still beat me! He stared ahead at the two kunoichis in front of him. I'll look like a total dork if I can't even beat a couple of girls! Exasperated, he let out a sigh and continued on his way, attempting, and failing to keep from yawning again.

Haru, Sakura, and Shio walked in and, as Shio had predicted it would be, the place was as empty as a tomb except for Ara.

“Hurry up, we have a lot to cover, and no time to practice. Haru!”, Ara shouted at Haru who had fallen asleep, “Get up! No sleeping! We” Unnoticed to Ara, the rest of the teams had arrived. Nara Sakoia, her bright blonde hair in ponytail proceeded the other members of her group, Yamo Tsuris and Naedra, two identical twin boys. Konohamaru, now a jounin, led his group in, the Uzumaki Asa and Ban, Shio's twin sisters, and their teamate, Mizu, who was unfortunatly, the only person in the entire room with pink hair.

“Sakura-chan!”, Sakoia called to the brunnette happily, “Konnichiwa! Talk later?”, she looked hopfully at her. Sakura gave not even the slightest hint she had heard her.

“Konnichiwa, Sakoia-chan!” , Shio shouted . Sakoia blushed and turned away. What an idiot, she thought.

“Welcome, uhh….., er…, what was I supposed to say?” a tall man with gray-blonde hair spoke, his voice trailing off into confusd mumblings. A woman sitting beside him, her black hair streaked with gray same as him, stood up and whispered into his ear.

“Ah, yes. Welcome! The preliminaries will begin shortly.” Lord Hokage told the bewildered bunch, “ I hope you didn't waste those three months off .” Shio groaned. Grandpa is going draw this out, isn't he. Uninterested, he walked over to the rest of his group who were, unsurprisingly, not paying attention either, leaving his grandfather to drone on while the genin dozed off, or in Atsui's case, began to juggle rocks. Finally, Naruto sat down, allowing the announcer to stand.

“All competitors to the stands. First match” they all glanced over at that handy-dandy electronic announcing board, “Yamo Tsuris vs. Sabaku No Neko”

Tsuris started, “ Her? Modo Uchiha Onna(Sakura growled at him)?”

Sakura laughed, “Good Luck, I think you'll need it.” She and Haru scrambled up the stairs and sat next to Shio and Ara, eyes still laughing. The rest of the genin cleared the floor quickly, running to get good seats.

The chunnin glanced around to check that the floor was completely clear then shouted, “Begin!” and jumped up into the stands and stood next to Naruto and Hinata. In stinctivly, Tsuris drew a kunai, and held it upward in the `guard' position.

“Byuakugan!” Haru eyes tensed up, giving her a better veiw from the sidelines. Beside her, Sakura said, “Sharingan!” and blinked her eyes, activating her clan's ablity as well. She glanced over at Neko. The sand nin was just standing there, eyes closed, concentrating on something. She's gathering a huge amount of chakra, Haru noticed, her eyes penetrating the layers to see what she was planning, who would use such huge amounts of chakra in one move? Neko's hands began rapidly forming seals.

“Gathering Rain No Jutsu!” Neko shouted, coming to rest with her fingers knit together the shape of an `L' aqainst her chest. Her gourd uncorked it's self, allowing the sand to stream upward until, * CRASH * It dug it's way through the roof and kept climbing higher and higher, until it dissapeared into the clouds.

What the..? Haru thought, veiwing the sand mixing with the water droplets in the air, solidifying, than rocketing down to Earth, clumping to anything it touched.

“Earth Element! Stone Shield!” Tsuris screamed, forming a seal. A huge stone dome covered him completely, hidding him from view. Sand glanced harmlessly off, flying everywhere. A few minutes after the last grain fell, the dome collapsed and Tsuris emerged gasping, covered in dirt. Almost immediately after he had shaken off most of the grime, Neko began rapidly forming seals again. The sand on the floor began swirling, twisting around Tsuris. The sand entered his lungs as he struggled for breath, the sand seizing around him. Neko slammed her fists together and Tsuris when flying backward until, * THWACK * He slammed hard against the wall and slumped down unconsious. The wall began to cruble and fall, and before anyone could do anything, the wall had collapsed on top of him, crushing him flat. Neko kept walking as if nothing had happened, as the jounin attempted to free Tsuris in time to save him. The announcer, as white as a sheet, cleared his throat and announced, “Winner, Sabaku No Neko” Tsuris was carried away on a stretcher, and the board cleared to announce the next match. “The next match will be….. Uchiha Sakura vs. Uzumaki Asa and Ban!”, the announcer told the crowd, as if they could not read. If they're anything like Shio, Sakura thought to herself as she headed closer to the pit, this could be interesting.
