Shi Izamaru walked through the grassy area. He had to figure out a way to earn his puppets. All of the ones he makes keep getting confiscated until he ranks up. He grunted. A large group of worthless unknown missing ninjas lied ahead. Maybe knocking down a little bit of the missing ninja population would be cause for a rank up... however... he was still a little shaky with his puppetry. The only way to get better is to fight harder, he supposed to himself. He walked up to the group of not-so-wanted missing ninjas. "I haven't heard of you losers, did you ditch your village for the same reason?" he asked tauntingly.

One of the ninjas merely looked at him blankly. "Who the Heck are you?" the ninja asked angrily. The ninja had a gravely tone... the kind that made Shi want to smash his face in. Nameless ninjas 1 and 2 stepped up to Shi angrily, one drew out a katana, symbolising he was of a higher rank to Shi already. Around that of a chunin. The other must have been new to fighting, as the kid pulled out a kunai, and held it like a dagger. "I do not share my name with the likes of you whelps," he said, "Nor do I stain my hands with the blood of traitors." The group all laughed. About 10 of them around him including the two ahead, Shi knew that they thought of it as a joke. "Well that way need to change then kid!" one of the two ninjas confronting him said, the kid this time. A whiney voice like he was around 11 or so.

As the kid was laughing, his eyes thinned quickly and then the pupils faded out of them. His eyes darkened and fell shut. Soon his body followed the motions of his own eyes. The young boy was dead. Shi sighed as he pulled the blade out from the dead kid's heart. "I merely said that I don't stain MY hands with the blood of traitors. I said nothing of my puppet's blades." he said with a chuckle. The left over man was dumbstruck, a look of surprise and fear in his eyes as he looked at the dead lump on the ground. "Oh I'm sorry, was that your friend? Here let me help you rejoin him in Heck," Shi said smirking. The mean suddenly came to his senses and dodged Shi's puppet blade. Shi pulled out another. He went off in a flurry of slashing at the man with the two blades. The man blocked at the blades and swung for the strings, all in vain.

Shi had more weapons and better speed than this pathetic excuse for a missing ninja, and he slashed through the man and shredded up his torso. Shi watched as the man fell over and bled to death. The rest of the group gathered around him. "Strength in numbers is what you think huh? You have the right idea, but without a controlling brain, the whole thing falls apart," Shi said. He drew the rest of the blades, about nine in total now. He quickly slashed the rest of the rogues down and impaled them quickly, finishing their pathetic lives. "Ugh... such pathertic whelps that sit around these parts..." Shi mumbled to himself. He sheathed the blades and sighed.

He then started walking around the graslands again to see what other little whelps he could find hanging around these parts. Since it was near the outlands, there was probably a good deal of missing ninja wimps around to exterminate. He was happy to bee of service.

As he walked through the grasslands, he noticed all kinds of missing ninjas. Some dark and big, some young a skinny, some too fat to fight, some already dead. He looked at one that was really young... like around his age. A Fuuma Shuriken on his back. How did he get all the way out here? He was from that Konoha village from the looks of it. He had heard that place was a nice place to live still, and it was the most famous village of them all. He was cuious and angry. A livestyle like that wasn't enough for that little brat? That was selfish! Shi ran up to the kid, suddenly confronted with a genjutsu. The person disappeared into his own shadow. This was rather new...

Shi looked around and noticed a pertrusion from the ground. Wait... his shadow was moving?It pulled away from him and came up like a shadow version of himself. Mimicking his every move.... Shi did notice he was totally reverse. All weapons on the opposite side of his, it was doing the mirror act. A really suckish genjutsu... there was always a way out of it without using Kai. However... this one was really obvious to him. He reached into the not-there pocket for weapons and the shadow pulled out a shadow kunai. Then Shi made a motion as if stabbing himself with said kunai. The shadow followed his motions and then burst into shadows.

The genjutsu broke and Shi walked up to the kid, who turned around surprised to see him. Shi smiled and nodded sarcastically. Suddenly then kid was impaled with a blade limb from Kenkoukyo. Shi turned around and walked off from the kid and put ther blade where it was to be. He grunted angrily at the traitor from Konoha and was walking in a storm. More people would have to pay for his current rage. And if they were missing ninjas... they were not going to be missed.

Shi was unamused by the selection of wanted ninjas in the area... he was like a bounty hunter at this moment. However... even if he wasn't all missing ninjas were fair game. He just felt a bit sad that there were so many floating around this grassland. Like buzzards, they seemed to prey on the weak to feel a sense of honor. Although there was no honor in fighting they who are weak, only the honor of defeating weak traitors. The treason here was like an atomosphere. These thugs breathed this evil air like oxygen. It made Shi sick to his stomache.

Soon enough he spotted his next prey. A man with a suggestably long sword scraping the ground behing him. This man was tall, and toned. That blade... looked like it was about 6 feet long, a few inches taller than the man himself. Shi knew this man would probably be of a high ability level, this was key for him to be able to rank up with his hunting. He was set to kill now. His eyes only foscusing on this one man. A dead man. Shi found himself saying only this as he strode towards the man like a spectre: "They who would betray their people, shall remain indifferent in Heck."

He walked towards the man and threw out his puppet. The wooden body of the weapon rolled forward for a moment. Suddenly, thin blue strings of chakra fired from Shi's fingers and connected to a limb. He smirked and glared at the man with intent in his eyes. His eyes, like a demon about to kill his prey. The man drew his long sword and pointed it out. "Surprise, surprise... the man can use that large blade," he said darkly. Suddenly he attacked, he fired some kunai from Kenkoukyo's first two arms. The man quickly deflected them off of his blade. The man charged at Shi, a big mistake in tactics. Shi quickly sent 2 arm swords at the man. A little blood spilled to the ground, he managed to graze the man's chest.

"You may be a little good at this after all..." he said with an evil grin. The man got ready to fight. Shi laughed a bit. He sent four blades this time. Again the man moved and dodged. Shi then flurried the blades in a motion of several stabs at the man. Finally one of the blades hit, or at least it hit somewhere important. Shi removed the blades from the man and sheathed them within the puppet they originated from. The man slowly fell over. The blood staining the grass where the man stood. Shi shook his head and bowed to honor this traitor. "You were a little more fun than the rest of the missing ninjas," he said. He put away his puppet and walked away from the body taking the sword with him, hoping that would help him get his rank up late, he took the big sheath too, this was a katana...sorta' thing so he made it look like a large walking stick for those adventurous people with low stability, although his stability was pretty much perfect. He looked around some more for some prey.

Shi found another target... or targets so to say. A girl... surrounded by many dogs... like wolves. He had no idea what she was doing around these wild creatures but it was more scary to ask than anything. The girl turned around and Shi noticed a slash through her headband. He sighed. "Man... I hate fighting girls..." he said sadly. He set down the large blade from the earlier fight and shook his head in a sad way. He was sad that he had to fight a girl... however a traitor was a traitor. And they would all have to go. Suddenly the girl made a handseal, and she turned rabid looking. A person from that old place Otogakure. Suddenly she said something, "Man-Beast Clone!" Shi's eyes thinned. All of those dogs turned into another one of the girl.

Shi was going to have to be serious in this one. He got out his standard puppet, Kenkoukyo... and onother one that he was allowed to keep, but he never had him out. Yes, Shi gives his puppets genders. Most of them are guys, at this point. Really, they all look like guy puppets. He has yet to make a girly puppet. It is just because of his masculine taste in weapons or something... however the task at hand was to fight this pack of wolf-women.

It was going to be a challenge... but wasn't it just like life. How ironic that is was a girl with this ability. Shi chuckled a little. He sent out a bunch of blades to slash at the enemies. They all dodged and suddenly, Shi had a large amount of spiralling tornadoes of slashes flying at him. He jumped out of the way and his puppets took the damage. Luckily, they were wood so he didn't have to worry about injuries to his puppets. He had to think fast. He quickly slayed about 3 of the 12 ladies... about 9 were left although there were really to many to know for sure. They all howled however and he know that the lady wasn't dead yet. He was now going all out. His fingers were rapidly moving. Limbs flying everywhere and his new puppet fighting all in melee.

Now in was down to him and the lady. It was surprising that the girl had lasted this long. But it was mainly because of the dogs taking the hit. He was all stiff in the limb controlling hand. He brought that arm down and used his new puppet now. The girl laughed at him. "Don't underestimate the new," Shi said angrily. The lady attacked the puppet. Shi had perfect control of that puppet even with his bad hand. It was like a living person fighting. Like a Shaolin monk fighting a kung-fu match. The puppet forced a palm at the lady. She grapped the arm a few inches from her face. She cackled loudly, obviously assuming she had won. Then... she let out a cry, as her body slumped over dead. A hole through her head. Shi put away his puppet. He walked away from the scene. Off to more training...

He sighed and walked on. He wished that the people who ran from their villages had learned something at all... He carried the blade from the man earlier as a walking stick even more. It had been a while. He had yet to find opponents that were going to be of any use to his training. Suddenly he turned around to re-patrol... a few dozen missing ninjas were stalking him. They were like they wer going to work together to fight him all with each other. "So many traitors all think that with eachother you may defeat me..." he said. He put the blade down. He let out his two puppets. "I hope you guys know how to die properly, because every one of you lot are going to die now," he yelled to the angry crowd.

He walked towards the lot, and made his puppets look like his back-up. "I think I'll kill you with a new style I just made up," he shouted laughing maniacally. Suddenly about 4 jumped at him. He kicked the one in-front of him. While his puppets killed the other 3 around him. He then jumped up and pulled an arm-blade out and stabbed the man into the ground. He screamed and struggled as he cried in his death, cursing at Shi for his last words and was silenced. Shi pulled the blade out of the dead man's gut. He sheathed the blade into the puppet and shook his head.

"He was lucky, he got to die so peacefully," he sighed and said simultaniously. He turned around and walked a little bit and remembered the rest. "Oops, you guys are so pathetic I forgot you wimps existed," he said with a laugh. It pissed off some of the Missing Ninjas around him. What was an army against him... it really wasn't fair. All of these E ranks were more like F ranks... he laughed. They needed more people. The whole group charged at him. He twitched an arm and Kenkoukyo tackled the one in front of him and fired a kunai into the man's face. One down at least 26 more to go. He drew Kenkoukyo's blades and went into a frenzy.

The missing ninja army was trying to take him out. It was a tactical mistake for them, as they only focused on him, and not the in coming blades. A couple of the guys managed to survive. It was rather sad. "You lot are weak beyond imagination," he said, "I was really hoping for more of a challenge." He sighed... one of the men took the opportunity to attack Shi. A blade slashed a bit through Shi's flesh... but not really. It was stuck and the man was struggling to get that blade out. The person the man had really slashed, was Osuken, Shi's puppet. The dense wood was trapping the man where he was. He man died a few moments later, by an unknown source that had a high probability of being a Push Blade to the stomach. The other few people tried to run... they TRIED. Kenkoukyo was a fast type of puppet. The rest were all dragged back and killed slowly.

I won't explain how he killed them... but I will leave it at their screams being heard from miles around, until they lost their vocal cords for a reason that was definately NOT due to Shi slowly reaching into their mouths and cutting their vocal cords with a blade. He walked over to a pond and started washing the blood from his hands. He sighed and walked around to see if there were any more rogues around...
