The Lost Shinobi

Nothing Left To Say

I found myself worrying too much. A week ago, I had gotten back from training. Which I started to miss Yuuta, Rei, and since he wasn't around, Kakashi. I looked in the mirror and saw my hair messed up as always.

The hair was in my face. "You know, a ponytail could help with that." I grabbed my hair and tied it into a ponytail, which solved my hair problem. I looked different, and the hairstyle felt weird. Naruto walked into the house, and looked at me.

He was smiling, "Used a piece of advice?" His mind seal was dormant, so he remembered a little about Scar. I nodded, "Let's go, we'll be late." I grabbed Kubikiribōchō and raced to the arena, in which I would fight Scar. Somehow, Naruto got lost, and I couldn't find him anywhere near me.

I entered by myself, which to my unwanted surprise, Scar, and pretty much everyone who made it past their opponent. No Sasuke, which I really felt relief about. Naruto came around, late. His battle was with Neji. The two walked to the battle arena and fought.

Naruto used his Shadow Clone Jutsu a lot. Neji was able to deflect it using his Byakugan and Rotation, a Hyuuga Clan ability. Neji managed to puncture Naruto's Chakra Points, which paralyzed him. Naruto used Kyuubi's chakra to overpower him. He won by knocking Neji out.

I tensed. I was up next. Scar had no problem walking towards the arena, so I controlled my anxiety and walked down to the arena. I could see Gaara stare at me, and I got chills. Scar seemed to be bored of life.

The proctor started the fight and I found myself in defense. He was really quick. I managed to see one of his attacks coming and knocked it out of the way. Kubikiribōchō was unsheathed, so I was left to my own fighting skills. Scar threw a punch, and I dodged it, swinging a kick to his side. It hit and he grabbed a kunai.

I got my own kunai and knocked it out of his hands. He was much more stronger than Eto, or Elsis. He looked focused in the fight, maybe because he didn't take fights like a simple thing. We separated and I cast a Jutsu, one that I learned how to do as a three year old. "Silent Killing Technique," I whispered.

There was mist everywhere, which was quick comparing to how much chakra I was using. I used my ears to hear Scar's mystery chakra flowing. It was dark and murderous but I could sense it and that's what mattered. He was quiet, and cautious. I felt his chakra move to slice me, but missed.

He was getting irritated. I released my small weights and quickly poked him in the back. He turned, but couldn't see me. I grabbed Kubikiribōchō and sliced him on his stomach. It was a deep cut, so I calmed my chakra and sliced him in the back. He heard me and punched. I luckily dodged it. "Show yourself," he muttered.

I released the mist, since this was getting too boring. I saw him clutch his stomach, which wasn't bleeding as much. I liked fighting with an opponent I could see. "Kid, you can be creepy sometimes," Yūrei's voice was back. I ignored her, since she didn't need to be talked to. Then, when he aimed, I moved, at his speed, maybe quicker.  His eyes looked to see where I was, but I turned up behind him. "What they don't know, is your real advantage." Yuuta. I slammed my side against him, using a kunai to scratch him deeply, his side bleeding. After that, I moved away to avoid his attack. He seemed so strong, emotionless. He must've been trained to not feel anything. Well so was I.

I saw Scar throw a punch, and I used Kubikiribōchō to defend myself. My ponytail was taming my hair to not interrupt my fight. "This wouldn't have happened if you were still my friend," I heard Scar mutter. I was caught off guard, and Scar hit my head with his kunai. I knew that he wasn't going to be as slow as before, so picked up the pace. I jumped up and dodged his attacks. Remember your training. His attacks won't hurt you. So, to test it, I was jabbed in the stomach, which felt like a tap. Fighting with Matsukiro and Yuuta, pain was practically my best friend, along with fear.
