Chapter 1
"Match 2: Hakiri Vs. Taz, Hariki is the winner!" Said the proctor, who had watched the whole match from close up. After this short but painful match for the loser, medics rushed in the fighting area. After examination, it was official. The jounin, with his right eye surrounded with bandages, started speaking again.
"Ladies and gentleman...It is my sad duty to inform you that Taz is dead." Announced the man, unhappy. A dark silence took over the crowd, making it possible to hear the smallest peep.
"But that can't stop us, we have a sunny day and we must go on with the matches." He followed, putting a smile back on his face. "That said,Match 3 shall start: 13 year old Luna Belamour Vs. 14 year old Artrik Ichuri!" He then said.
The two genins came down: Artrik had blond, ear length hair,Blood red eyes and a black shirt with the sleeves ripped off. He was from the village hidden in the grass. The other one, Luna, had long white hair and yellow eyes. She had a tight black T-shirt and a knee-lenght black skirt. She was from the village hidden among stones. Both looked like cold blooded people.
"You know the rules, you may start." Announced the proctor. Luna took a pair of kunais from her pouch and threw them at her enemy. But Arctrik did nothing but put his arms in front of him,making the weapons hit the arms.
Excessive amounts of blood started coming out of those body parts, making a large puddle in only a dozen of seconds. The wounded boy looked at his opponent and grinned. He took an item from his pouch and threw it in front of him: It was a smoke bomb. Luna did nothing, all she did was stand there with two shurikens in her right hand and a kunai in her left. When the smoke dissipated, there were two Artriks, he had made a clone. But what was weird was that none of them had a wound in their arm and there was no blood on the ground anymore.
Both separated, one going to the left and one to the right. Once they were far enough from each other, they started running towards Luna at the same time. She quickly reacted and threw a shuriken at each one. The one that was coming from the right blocked it while the other one received it on his forearm. He didn't disappear and blood started dripping from his arm.
"So,you're the real one!" She yelled before taking a dozen shurikens and sending them all on him, ignoring the clone. All but one hit him, making him fall down on his back.
"Not so tough,are you?" She said. But then she noticed something: He was melting,turning into a puddle of blood.
"What the...?" She commented. As she did, blood could be heard dripping behind her. When she turned back, she froze. Artrik was standing behind her with his wrists opened and excessively bleeding, so much that his hands couldn't even be seen. In no time the streams of blood started entangling the girl, making her unable to move.
"But...how?" She asked nervously.
"Well, the people of my clan all have a particularity: We produce enormous amounts of blood, over 3 times what a normal person does. Over many years, we learned to control it, making us take advantage of our wounds. Oh, and in case you were wondering... My clones might take more work than a normal one to create, but they are much more resistant." He explained with no emotion. The blood around Luna started getting tighter.
"So, shall I proceed to killing you?" He asked.
"You can try, but you won't be able to..." She answered as her face started cracking up. in a couple of second, her hole body fell apart to reveal a puppet. Brown hair that was spiked downwards, a messy cloak and no eyes, that's what the puppet looked like.
"What's this?!?" Said the boy, letting go of it and backing up quickly.
"That's Shiro, my puppet!" Said a voice, coming from behind some trees that were behind the puppet. Out of them came a girl who looked exactly like the puppet did when it was in disguise; that was the real Luna.
"You've been fighting a puppet this hole time, I just wanted to see how you fought before taking you really on." She followed, grinning. She moved her fingers a little,making her puppet stretch it's arm's out.Eight of Shiro's fingers opened up, sending three senbons per finger. Artrik quickly took out a kunai and started blocking them, but off all one was able to pass and penetrate his flesh. It hit the left part of his chest. Artrik simply took it out.
"Well, is that all?" He asked, mocking the girl. She started laughing.
"if you think a poison flowing in your blood is nothing, yes,that's all." She said.
Artrik quickly reacted with the kunai he was holding. He cut himself where the poison had entered,letting the blood come out. A small expression of pain was seen in his face at that time. Black blood was on the floor.
"So you're using that poison? Not going easy on me,are you?" He said has he noticed no more black blood was coming out of him. He concentrated, making the wound heal quickly.
Artrik was about 10 meters from the puppet and Luna was a dozen feet behind it. It wouldn't be easy to get to her.
"I guess it's time to take out another jutsu of mine." Said the boy as he cut both his wrists.
