Chapter 1: Big Bird

Hiroshi knew that this time was coming again. Fighting in the arena was his actual only way of training and getting to get some cash at the same time. He usually felt bad to have to kill an animal that was tortured but at the same time he feels that it's best to put them out of their misery anyways. The young shinobi made his way into the arena and as he looked around the crowd bursted out with applaud and cheers.

It wasn't a few seconds before the announcer would rear his ugly face out from under the stage. A microphone in his hand and behind him a giant screen portraying his face. He screamed to the high heavens of how Hiroshi was to fight this large beast of a bird. 20 meters from head to tail tip and having a wing span of 30 meters. Hiroshi thought to himself. 'This isn't a bird. It's a house." Once the formalties were over the man would go back under the stage.

On the other side was a large caged gate that would slowly open and creak. Once in a while shaking by the large bird that rattled it in attempt to escape. Once it fully opened the bird soared out towards the sky. A large metal collar around it's neck to keep it within limits of the arena. The rage it felt from having this neck trap on would extend to the only one within it's eyesight. Hiroshi. The shikigami gulped and as the bird dove at him his hands would morph 2 handseals. His arm flapped into paper and out came 3 shuriken.

The three shuriken launched themselves at the diving foe who managed to nimbly dodge two of them while the last cut the side of it's wing. Exploding in the process from the extra chakra that was stuffed in their by Hiroshi. The bird fell to the ground wounded, though it would get right back up. Angered more than hurt. Things weren't looking good as it pecked at him. Scraping his arm as he tried to parry and dodge the blows.

Hiroshi's attempts to stop the birds attacks caused minor cuts to him but he got the rhythm and with a few moments slapped the damn thing on the beak with an exploding tag. The tag set off and blew part of it's beak off clean. It winced in pain and then let out a blood curdling roar. It went from pissed to adrenaline rush in order to defend it's life. Trapped in a corner with no where to go, no place to hide.

Poor bird, it was in much pain. It picked up it talons and clawed at Hiroshi slicing through his sweater into his skin, drawing a shit ton of blood. In turn that made Hiroshi scream and hop back ready to defend his own life. More shuriken would do the trick he thought. His hands moved swiftly and carved the seals into the air causing 3 more shuriken to grow off of his body and dart towards the bird. It was too feeble at this point to dodge them efficiently so one of the ones in a vital area around it's heart was moved to hit it's wing instead.

BAM! All three would explode as before this time totally immobilizing the bird. It clawed around with it's feet madly and cawwed as loud as it could before it stumbled over. The fight was about over. The shikigami would walk over to it forming just a few more seals. This one would be different from his last jutsu. Not using any paper. After forming the 9 seals a large gust of wind would surround the beast.

"Sorry buddy."

It tore it up. The winds whipped it around, even lifting the large foe into the air tearing at it. The feathers ripped off exposing bloody and minced flesh, it's eye sockets were cut and even one of them fell off. At this point it was no longer even living and slumped over the battlefield like the limp sack of meat it was. Once the crowd saw they roared with excitement and ecstasy. It was a gross sight. Who could get off with such brutality towards a beast who did nothing wrong.

Slightly angered the Shikigami would walk off out of the stadium. Behind him was the man, that announcer guy. He spoke to him. "Well little man, it seemed you are getting a bit of street cred here. How bout we make a deal, if you can beat ALL of our animals. I'll make sure that we properly take care of the replacement ones." Fuck, it was messed up but he knew that a few 10's dead could in the end save thousands. Was it worth it in the end? For now he just has to keep on trucking.

Chapter 2: Slaves

The bird stood little chance against a seasoned fighter in the arena and as every fight Hiroshi goes through, the stronger the young man gets. Again he managed to book a fight through the manager of this establishment and was swept back into the fray. The ring was the same as last time. Dirt floor, circular base and on the other side was a large gate in which the foe was held behind. His observations of the arena would yield nothing advantageous since it was so basic.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of an annoying voice. The announcer was screaming Hiroshi's name saying things like. "It's their only way to freedom! Will Hiroshi let them kill him to be free!? I DONT THINK SO!" It was sad, their lives had to end for the pleasure and entertainment of others. At this point is was a human life rather than an animals. He knew that tonight he wouldn't be able to sleep well but that's how the cookie crumbles.

The announcer finished his wailing and went back inside. Yet again once he did so, the gates would open up and out came charging three men. All three with weaponry. It seemed that it was a no holds bar fight to the death. The archer began by firing off an arrow as a warning to him. The arrow missed barely too. His hands react as swift as that arrow was and his old standby jutsu, the shuriken of paper technique fired off. One for each of the foes. The foes though nimbly dodged them and kept coming towards him. Time to react.

Shuriken weren't working. Perhaps a jutsu they wouldn't be able to see coming. He stood there weaving 5 seals before launching 1 wind bullet at the foe. The bullet itself was 4 meters wide and was invisible to the naked eye. It caught the one with the bow by surprise and without too much trouble cut him up nicely. It probably didn't end his life but the blood loss and the neglect from the wounds that these vile people here would meet im his maker.

The other two got too close though. The brute throwing a kick sending Hiroshi flying backwards ten meters rolling. An ukemi caught his balance and shifted him back to offense as he took out a throwing knife and charged back in. The spearman stabbed towards him but it didn't do shit. He took the kunai, blocked it and slid the blade down it's shaft cutting the warrior on the chest. A nice wound inflicted. Though now he had that burly beast looming behind him ready to crush him.

[/justify]

[Hiroshi]

One down, two more to go. With the archer being out of commission and possibly a heartbeat. The other two's rage fueled the actions that caused Hiroshi to get slammed back a few meters perhaps even bruising his arm and part of his chest. The wincing pain stopped him for a second. In that second the foe flung a kunai in which Hiroshi pulled out his own kunai to block the projectile. Once the slight pain subsided his hands formed the necessary handseals to create a paper bunshin.

This bunshin was unlike other bunshins. It was capable of remaking itself after it's dispersed and using minor jutsu of the clan. When he made the clone the first foe jumped forward with his spear and stabbed at the clone. The clone did not dodge but watched as the spear pierced it's body. The foe triumphed in his mind and to his dismay behind him formed the clone again. This clone formed it's own seals and shot 6 shuriken at the guy piercing him many times before the foe fell to the ground in pain.

Again his foe did not like that very much. The armored knuckled tank screamed at the top of his lungs at the clone and him giving them a lariat. The original hiroshi blocked it entirely, catching his arm and taking a ride on it but the clone smacked right to the ground exploding into paper. Though in a second it re materialized itself to fight once more. At that point the juggernaut knew that physical blows would not kill that clone. He had to defeat it's user.

Turning his attention to the actual Hiroshi put the young shinobi on edge. It was rather funny how it happened but this would be an easy defeat. A charge and roar wouldn't even put a single ounce of fear in Hiroshi's heart. The giant arm of the foe cocked back and swung at him aiming right at his face. Within a moment's notice that man's arm was gone. On the floor wriggling around. Then came a second shot, that would allow the giant beast of a man to understand his death. Hiroshi's short sword did him in. After the victory:

Applause shook the arena as Hirsohi made his way out. The fox eyed announcer showed his face and spoke with a lisp to him.

"You did well defeating 3 in a row. Maybe you should take some harder fights, I'll even let you bring along friends."

That didn't make it better. He only picked what was ranked C and lower because that's all he was allowed to do. He wanted to set these animals and people free at all costs. They did not deserve such torture.

Ch. 03 Killing the Big Bad Wolf

That man from before. He was the ring leader of all this? He had to kill that man. If he didn't there would be a lot of slaves and animals doomed to die for no reason. This wasn't humane. Though neither was that man's death. Was killing a man for killing a man justice? That would make him a murderer too right? His mind was set on defeating all of these that were already captured to finally fight that boss at the end. Killing him would be his sin, kill one to save thousands right?

After eating and resting he'd walk right back into the arena and of course that green haired man would appear on the stage. His podium awaited him along with the microphone that he'd use to egg on all the viewers in the stands. Erupting like a volcano the crowd cheered from the voice they so longed to hear. The man spoke to them: "WELL WELL WELL! IF IT ISN'T LITTLE HIROSHI-KUN! YOU BACK FOR MORE KID?! WELL HAVE A TASTE OF THIS!

When he said that Hiroshi's heart sank a bit, the gate behind him opened and a loud audible growl could be heard shaking the very core of his body. It was a giant wolf, drool sliming down from it's mouth to the ground. It charged at Hiroshi who reacted by growing wings and flying above it. The dodge was close but it worked like a charm. His hands weaved seals together and fired off 24 shuriken made of paper at him, 4 seals in total making all of them explosive. They pelted the ground below making a huge smokescreen.

A yelp could be heard as if the foe was killed. Though that was not likely the case. When the smoke cleared the wolf managed to hide under a rock and sustain minor damage to it's back from the rock above him being blown to pieces. Though no real damage was sustained. This fight was just beginning.

[Hiroshi]

Well this sucks. The wolf hadn't been killed and he wasted chakra just to do some minor damage. He could see from the dusty ash around the dog that their happened to be a few kunai along the ground from other fights. Just like before, though he wouldn't try and pick them up. He didn't care for them. Forming three handseals his face and clothes would let loose a few sheets of paper which would fall to the ground and then combine into a clone of paper. This clone would sprout it's wings and fly 5 meters in the air while the real Hiroshi was dashing to the left. Both of them had began forming more handseals while the wolf closed in on the real Hiroshi. The clone would finish his seals first. Letting loose 24 shuriken all enhanced with the explosion effect. Wouldn't be good for the dog, yet somehow it managed to find a small hole in the ground and use it like a bunker. Stopping any damage from the huge explosion behind it from hitting it.

"What the fuck!"

Though the dogs back was now charred, the skin on it bubbled up and the hair was now shedding off. Just falling to the floor. A slight whimper and then and an angered growl came from the dog as it charged Hiroshi once more. Leaping into the air as soon as Hiroshi finished his handseals. A ball of wind exploded out of his mouth onto the beast and exploded onto it. The poor thing was on the floor, it's leg severed clean off. It was a meter away from his body, though now the feral beast was dead. Not to live anymore. Hiroshi sat down on the ground as his clone turned back into paper and onto his skin. This felt oddly refreshing though it was a bit strange at the same time. As he sat there the green haired demon walked over. His finger was spinning his hat by the inner rim, that asshole's face was still smiling. Those damn eyes were winced as always.

"Hello there Hiroshi, you ready to call it quits yet?"

Hiroshi took an angry tone with the man.

"FUCK YOU!"

Hiroshi sucked in some phlegm and mucus from his nose and delivered a gooey justice to his face. Of course it angered the man who grabbed Hiroshi by the collar and threw him into the door to his left. Hiroshi fell down a flight of stairs and into the arms of two guards in which placed the shikigami into a cage. This cage was devoid of all life and the bars were made of metal. It was indestructible from the inside as well.

"This cell was made for ninjas."

In a few minutes the green haired man came again. Now in front of him performing the same hat spinning trick he was doing earlier. Though now his tone was a bit more fierce and angry. His eyes were open, green and had a snake like presence to them.

"I'm gonna make you fight till you die."

[Hiroshi]

It seems as if Hiroshi was in a predicament. The cell he was in was inescapable and in a minute or so the wall behind him would open up and reveal the coliseum once more. This time instead of one wolf, there were four. They stared him down angrily and without any pause Hiroshi sprouted his wings and flew above. He knew he had a chakra time limit on this but he should be able to take these four out before losing his chakra. As the dogs hopped up trying to snatch him out the sky from under him, the cloud shinobi would form handseals and let loose 24 more explosive shuriken as he did before. The two wolves under him would feel it's full wrath and one would die instantly. The other would be burned and his fur charred but would escape out of the smoke that occured from the explosion.

Hiroshi was in full wrath mode now. More seals had to be done and then he held the last seal. Four paper creations came off his back and flew toward the remaing four wolfs. They danced around dodging the attack all the while moving closer to him in order to get a grip on him. The ninja would land to rest a bit and his wings would fold back into his body. When he landed a wolf jumped at him but was met by the paper shuriken in mid air. Cutting him clean in two. The were 3 left now. One was injured so he'd focus on that one now. The shuriken was just barely being dodged by that one so he lured one of the fit ones away from Hiroshi for a while. Suddenly that shuriken would stop attack that dog and would double team the injured one. It didn't last, that dog was cut clean in two and the shurikens flopped on the ground. 

At this point he'd stop the shuriken barrage and form a few seals to let loos some paper off his body and to the ground in front of him. He knew that in doing so he'd probably be able to trap one of the dogs and blow them up there. The terrible twosome ran up on Hiroshi in a helix pattern to try and confuse the point of attack they were coming from. Though this would backfire because at the point both would intertwine and split off again, they'd step on his land mine and be blown to pieces. With that the Shikigami would sprout his wings immediately and fly out of the arena while the crowd exploded in cheer and revelry. This mission was as good as done.
