Chapter 4: Akio
__________________
Those that I come across,with strong abilities,are ideal canidates to my ever
growing collection of puppets.Those that are weak are not even worthy of my
time.I only seek the strongest opponents.This is why i joined the Mugendai Karuto.
The Mugendai Karuto often come across strong opponents.I am Akio,lord of puppets and master of illusions,and these titles are self proclaimed.This is my story.

"This is my newest. I'm so excited. I can't wait to try it out." I said with anticipation.
"I am bored." yawned zack. "Can you show a bit more interest in my works? After all,
you are a puppetmaster too. Not as talented as i though." My red hair gleamed in the afternoon sun that shone through the tree's.I was sitting on a rock, in the middle of
a dense wet rain forest. Zack took a little interest in his work, but still looked as if he didn't really care. "Face it buddy.We are lost."said Zack, standing up from his resting rock and stretching out his arms. "You've been working on that thing all morning and throughout the night. Geez, get some damn rest." said Zack. "We aren't lost and we haven't had enough rest either." I said as i kept customizing my new addition. "We are in the middle of a giant rain forest. You think your puppets always come first.
Come on, Zero has been growing more and more impatient each passing day. Lets go!
said Zack. "I'm done anyway." I said, packing my puppet into a summoning scroll. "Zack. You should someday learn to avoid being annoying as hell. I swear, I am going to kill you someday. You wouldn't even be worthy of being added to my growing collection of puppets if i kill you. I threatened. "Whatever, lets just get out of here. said Zack.
Zack, you will learn to appreciate my works. I expect you as a fellow puppet master
to aknowledge my master pieces. One day. Even if I have to force you. We kept
walking along in the forest. "Where do you think the others are at, Akio" asked Zack.
"If by others, you mean the other Mugendai Karuto members? They are all over the world, searching the whereabouts of these beastly elemental creatures. It is no small feat to find, defeat and capture all of them." I explained. "Why do you have an assortment of masks?" asked Zack. I felt glad he asked "No ones asked me that before. I use a variety of masks each with different uses. They are for battle purposes.
Now, I must admit. I am bad with directions. Lead the way, I'm sure you can get us out of this wretched forest. I only got us lost in the first place. Lets go"

Chapter5:Zack

My eye lids slowly opened. The ground. Why am I on the ground? It is cold. My hand rested near my face, I looked at my hand. It had blood on it. But it was not my blood. I can hear crackling fire. Ahhh, why does it feel so peaceful? My vision is blurry. The crackling of fire was the only thing I can hear though. Where am I? I opened my eyes a little more. My blurry vision became less. Am I...in a city? My body won't respond. The city...it is engulfed in fire! My body, it aches so much, but I can move a little bit. I slowly sat up on my knee's. I felt a bit afraid. There was somebody sprawled in front of me. He had a sword stuck through him. I looked around with my droopy eyes. They felt heavy. I noticed that there were a numerous amount of people on the ground. They are all dead. I thought. There was a lot of blood shed here. I looked around, and to my surpise, I saw some rocks, shaped into cocoon-like shapes. "Where am I?" I asked aloud, talking to myself. "To answer your question, you are in the Stone village." a voice out of nowhere spoke. I spun his body around. "W-who are you? I asked curiously and afraid. The man's shades reflected the fire in the city. I felt this intense ominous chakra resonating from him. "Are you responsible for this?" I said gritting my teeth in anger. "No. The city was already in this state when I got here." replied Naraku. The crackling of fire filled the silence. "Then do you have any idea what happened? Who am I?" I said trying to remember. "Amnesia, perhaps?" I could not see Naraku's moving mouth, it was covered by a giant neck band. You couldn't even see his nose either. He was dressed strangely, a black robe, with flame designs at the bottom. The only thing visible from his face were his shades and that specific area around his eyes. He wore a hood also. "I don't know..." I said. "It is likely YOU did this. YOUR repsonsible. Your covered in blood. It all points to you. I haven't a single drop of blood on me. It was merely by chance that I happened to pass by a city smoking with fire." said Naraku. "If I did this, then what should I do next? I'm so lost right now. I don't have a home now." I said. "I can provide a home for you. Come with me if you wish and do not hesitate. I will not slow down for you. It is your choice if you'd like to follow me. Once we reach the destination, you will call it home." said Naraku walking past me. As soon as he walked past him, I suddenly felt sick at the stomach. This man, I am sure of it, he is evil. I thought. I stood up slowly and started to follow Naraku. My vision, it is getting blurrier. I can't keep up. He is too fast. I thought. I can make something out though. Naraku....he has a tail, or is that his spine dragging behind him? I stared in horror. I must be really, really tired! Naraku is a figment of my imagination. No! This is all a dream! Wake up! My face went pale with fright. I could not scream. Naraku turned a corner of a street, and the "tail" dragged on the ground. My heart started pounding. But wait, I can also make something out, theres something attached to the end of his tail. A heart. A human heart. I can hear that heart beating in my head, hoe is that possible? Or is that my heart that I am hearing? I started running toward Naraku before he completely turned that corner. I stopped. I suddenly realized, that heart was in sync with mine. Beating as fast as mine. My chest felt empty for some reason. And that's when it hit me. I looked down at my chest in horror. There was a hole where my heart used to be, and I blacked out.

I was 14 years of age when this happened, supposedly. I still think it was dream. But I do not know how I got into the Mugendai Karuto in the first place. I do not have any memory of my past.

[puppetmaster zack]

[Raiku]

Good chapters

[Ishtar]

Now onto the next.

[Hugh]

"Ponder, ponder, ponder. I am pondering. So leave me alone, please. I asked politely." I said trying to ponder. "And what is it you are pondering about?" asked Naraku. "I don't know. " I replied. "I've more important things than conversing with an idiot." said Naraku looking up at the crisp sun. "Brrrr, it's cold here." Me and Naraku's footsteps crunched against the snow. Some parts of the ground were frosted grass, and some were crunchy snow. Six other people were following us. They kept silent until one of them finally spoke out. "With the six of our souls in Hugh's grasp, we cannot escape. We are bound immortally to Hugh. With Hugh by our side. We've never lost a battle before." "Don't get over your heads with your strength in numbers and unique abilities though. There are still others who can singlehandedly take you, with a lot of difficulty of course. Zero and I and the E-Beasts can defeat you." said Naraku. "Yes, of course. We are all aware of that. Though Ishtar has defeated me and Emina before, one on one of course. Revenge is all I can think of at the moment. I fell for that wind jutsu of his however." "Ugh, don't bring that kid up. I hate him! I had no choice but to flee. That fire element jutsu got the best of me, but all of our strength's and techniques have increased since then." "His fire and wind techniques may have been powerful. But I had gotten the most ticked off at his earth element: Iron skin technique." "He bested you because you underestimated him, and over estimated your victory." explained Naraku. "Stop complaining. If that weakling beat you, then you must have been weak as hell. Sure, you may have done a bit better when the four of you combined each other's strength's. But your biggest mistake was that he got you guy's alone and beat you, and I still cannot believe to this day, that that weakling beat me in the Chunin exams." "Enemies sensed. Behind us." "Hugh, you handle this." ordered Naraku.
Ten ninja armed themselves with weapons. A giant stringed shuriken, a claymore, A sword and a double sword wielder, a kunai gun, a steel bow, two puppet masters, a bazooka, and a unique clawshot weapon. "Hey, hmmm. I can probably guess that you ninja came from the village hidden in the Steel." I said. They quickly surrounded us. "8 vs 10? No fair." "I said leave me out of this. If they attack me, then I will fight back. I will not do the violence here." said Naraku. One of the armored ninja started shooting his kunai gun at Hugh. "Ow! That hurt." Emina had suddenly fell dead to the ground. "Not really. " I glanced over at Emina's corpse and walked over to it, leaning beside her. "Necromancy art...." A giant shuriken was thrown past Naraku. The ninja pulled his string, which was attached to the shuriken and was now rotating behind Naraku. The guy with a sharpened clawshot attached to his arm, shot his claw out toward Raxus and phased through him, hitting the guy in the face on the other side with the kunai gun, killing him. Raxus became invisible. The ninja was shocked. The shuriken that was thrown at Naraku was laying on the ground a few feet behind him. Naraku didn't even move, he deflected it. The steel bow ninja drew back his arrow and shot it toward me, I had already revived Emina by now. The arrow, was a fail. Because Lilina had alerady drew back her bow and shot precisely at the enemies arrow itself. Lilina, had perfect aim. There was a time when she trembled and always missed her shots. But now, she never misses. The big ninja with the bazooka aimed and focused on Tasker. Tasker was aware of this, and stood there cooly. He shot the paper bomb covered cannon ball toward him. An unexpected black hole appeared in front of Tasker as the ball went through. It warped the cannon ball to a different location away from the heated battle. A large explosion occured. The two puppet wielder's has trapped and caught Rheea and Cyrax. Cyrax was held in the belly of a large puppet, and Rheea had a puppet with six arms which had spikes all over designed to kill the opponent when it wraps around one. A yellow mist had been activated. Cyrax blew the puppet he was trapped in to bits and pieces. The yellow mist began to immobilize some of the ninja. They fell to the ground except for one. The double sword weilding ninja, who had stabbed Emina and planted a sword into Lilina. Rheea was no longer trapped and Raxus became visible to the eye and sliced off the head of the ninja with two swords with his 5 bladed zebra colored scythe from behind. "Time to wrap this up." I said. Cyrax and Rheea fell to the ground immediately after Lilina and Emina were stabbed. "Emina, Lilina, go and revive Cyrax and Rheea. Lets tie these ninja up. We could use some of they're weapons too."

Later on, the remaing ninja were tied together. "Now what can you tell us about the Steel Element Warrior." I asked. None of them spoke. They refused to speak. There was a long silence. We had to get information about this guy. We were closer than ever to him. I can feel it. Still silence. "Alright." I said, facing the palm of my hand toward them. "Space style: Black hole." The men screamed as they were sucked up into nothingness. They're screams had quickly faded. "Lets take some weapons and go find the Village Hidden In The Steel." I said. Naraku nodded.

Chapter 7

Katsuro Firu is my name. I am currently traveling the world, in search of clues to the whereabouts of the Mugendai Karuto. Sometimes, I will come across vital clues and information, and encounter one of the members from time to time. I have heard rumors about them, and am currently investigating the many villages in this world. There are ten major villages of course. A major village is quite large. It serves as the capital village of a country. There are hundreds of villages scattered across the globe. I travel in search of the Mugendai Karuto, I also learn the history of each village I visit. I have well over one hundred family members. This world of ours is gigantic. It still hasn't even been fully explored yet. The Firu clan has a strong dojutsu. It rivals the lighteye. It's called the Eagle's eye. It allows the user to manipulate his or her own chakra and his or her own surroundings to create different elemental jutsu on the spot. It can also increase your reaction speed, ninjutsu and taijutsu, and sight. It has one major weakness however. My clan also specializes in summoning different various creatures that live in an unknown land. The village hidden in the mind's dream is where my home is. It is safe from such intruders like the Mugendai Karuto. My village wield many stong ninja. I am young, and traveling, but I am perfectly capable of myself. I am 16 years of age. I remember the first time I met Ishtar. He was a lot older than me though. What became of him now? I am in search of Ishtar too. My grandfather Michio, was the original leader of the group called the Heaven Warriors, but he would not tell me who the other Heaven warrior members were, so they are unknown. My other grandfather, the Drokage of the village, has given me a mission to reform the Heaven Warriors to fight against the Mugendai Karuto. I am still in search of members. I do not know what to do, if I ever happen to encounter Ishtar. His village wants him dead. So what should I do? Save him? or eliminate him? I think I will know the answer when and if I ever encounter him though.
