-------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER ONE

Hidan: It's time you felt the ultimate pain...Death!
Asuma: ...
Kotetsu: captain
Izumo: NOOO!!
Shikamaru starts running to Asuma.
Shikamaru: STOP!!!
Kakuzu: too late..
Shikamaru: almost there
Shikamaru then stops dead in his tracks, using his shadow stitch jutsu he grabs on to the hilt of the sword.
Shikamaru: Asuma!! i cant hold him down long, hurry up and attack.
Asuma gets up and runs towards Hidan, when suddeny hidan throws his scyth at him, asuma dodges the attack and appears behind him, asuma extends his chakra blade again, and strikes down, attemting to slice hidan in two.
Asuma: !!
Hidan grabs asuma hand, before he can land the blow and throws him over his shoulder so he's in front of him now, and launches his scyth at him once again, as asuma dodges hidan makes it come from behind him.
Shikamaru: no good, the jutsu's gonna wear off soon.
As the scyth comes from behind asuma, he jumps into the air. Kakuzu throws both Kotetsu and Izumo to the ground, and leaps into the air after asuma.
Kakuzu: aarrggh! this is taking too long.
Asuma sees both Hidan's scyth and kakuzu comming towards him, and extends both his chakra blades. As hidan's scyth comes close enough he slices off one of the blades, knocking the weapon away. Kakuzu then throws a punch at asuma, at which he retaliates by slicing off his hand, and throws kakuzu back, kakuzu then extents his arm, and lands a blow to asuma's stomach. as kakuzu lands, black string flows out of his arms, and reattaches his hand to his body.
Asuma:...these guys are insane...
Shikamaru: i have to help asuma, but if i release the jutsu, hidan will kill him instantly Damnitt!! Izumo, Kotetsu get up!!
Izumo: whaddya want us to do?
Shikamaru: just distract the big guy for a while.
Kotetsu: got it!
kotetsu picks up his weapon and starts running towards kakuzu. Hidan, seeing this, knocks kotetsu away with the blunt side of his weapon. as kotetsu is flying backwards he grabs on to the scyth and tosses his massive weapon to Izumo.
Kotetsu: Izumo, i got him!! keep going!
Izumo catches the giant hammer and runs towards kakuzu, izumo launches himself into the air, and smashes down on kakuzu. as the smoke clears kakuzu is gone.
Asuma: Izumo! move!
just then kakuzu appears in front of izumo, as he runs towards him, Izumo, prepares to defen. but kakuzu just goes past him towards Kotetsu.
Izumo: Kotetsu, look out!
as kotetsu turns around kakuzu lands a direct blow to kotetsu face, knocking him unconscious.
Asuma: izumo, give me your weapon, i'll keep these two busy, you make sure that the tatooed guy gets outta the circle. got it?
Izumo: yes, captain. dont do anything rash, the back up will be here in a few minutes.
Asuma: ...i know..
As izumo tosses his weapon to asuma, asuma jumps into the air, and lands behind kakuzu, and swings the giant shell down on him, kakuzu just moves slightly to the side, and dodges the attack. as kakuzu smiles as he's dodgin' the 'simple' attack, he is struck by an invisible force, and thrown into the wall.
Kakuzu: *spits blood out of his mouth* what was that?
Asuma: know your enemy before you rush into battle..
Kakuzu slowly stands up.
kakuzu: whats that supposed to mean?
Hidan: you idiot, he has wind nature, he obviously used it to extend his weapons reach...but that wont help him here!
Hidan uses his scyth (now with only two blades) and attacks asuma, distracting him from kakuzu's movements.
As the battle rage on, Izumo rushes to Kotetsu to make sure he's all right. Making sure he's un-noticed he sneaks up behind hidan, as he's keeping asuma on the defense. Izumo then takes off at full speed towards hidan. he launches himself at him head first. he rams his shoulder into hidan's back, knocking him out of the cirlce.
Shikamaru: Great work izumo!
with that shikmaru releases the jutsu, and throws 3 shurkien at hidan. hidan uses his scyth to block them, and impales his sword into izumo's shoulder.
Hidan: you shouldda thought this through better.
Kotetsu then gets up and jumps into the near by trees. trying to conceal his hiding place. he then jumps to some trees and finds a good place, and throws kunai at hidan, hidan is distracted and looks at the trees. at that moment izumo jumps back, away from hidan, and shikamaru grabs a kunai and confronts hidan. having him surronded from 3 sides.
Asuma: good, they've got a handle on things
Kakuzu jumps into the air and strikes down at asuma. but asuma blocks with his weapon and throws kakuzu back. before kakuzu even lands asuma charges towards him, catching him off gaurd kakuzu jumps out of the way. as kakuzu gets out of the way asuma keeps running towards hidan. hidan see's asuma comming towards him and throws his scyth in his direction, asuma dodges and heaves his weapon back at hidan. hidan then uses his sword to block it, and at the exact moment, shikamaru and izumo stab him from the front and back with kunai's, holding him in place. Kotetsu see's and opportunity and summons his giant hammer again, which disappears in a poof of smoke from in front of hidan and comes to kotetsu. he then grabs the weapon and charges towards hidan. hidan, still showing no emotion, calls back his scyth, as it passes by asuma, he grabs onto it, refusing him control over it. as kotetsu reaches hidan, kakuzu extend his arm, and punches kotetsu out of the way. hidan then grabs both shikamaru's and izumo's hands so they cant get away. kakuzu then grabs kotetsu's weapon and charges towards hidan. he leaps into the air about to crust hidan, shikamaru, and izumo, all in one blow.
Asuma: !! he's planning on nearly destroying his parteer just to take out shikamaru, and izumo!!
Asuma, extends his blade once again, and appears before kakuzu, and slices the weapon in two. as kakuzu is landing asuma rushes forwads and lands a blow to his stomach, and another one to his face. as kakuzu flies back, asuma sharpens the blade with his wind element to his second dagger, and throws is at hidan. hidan lets go of shikamaru and izumo and jumps out of the way. as he lands he starts charging at asuma, just then kakuzu gets up and charges at asuma from the opposite side. asuma jumps into the air hoping to get away, but kakuzu extends his hand and grabs his ankle and slams him into the ground. kotetsu then gets up and rushes to asuma's aid. but kakuzu grabs kotetsu and throws him at izumo, knocking them both into a wall. shikmaru gets up, and starts running to asuma.
Shikamaru: ASUMAA!!! GET OUT OF THERE!!!
just as asuma looks up at shikamaru hidan slams down his scyth at asuma, impaling his right tigh to the floor.
Asuma: AAAHHAHHHH!!
Shikamaru: I HAVE TO THINK OF SOMETHING QUICK
hidan then twirls his sword so he's holding it like a dagger, and impales it into asuma's chest, killing him instantly.
Shikamaru: !!! ASUMAAAAA!!
that scene had been too much for shikamaru his head started spinning, and he felt nauseous. and passes out.
Kakuzu: that was almost more trouble than it was worth. *looking at hidan* hurry up and do your ritual so i can collect the bounty on him!
Hidan: yeah yeah. whatever. you cant rush this stuff.


ok this isnt the main story this is just a prelude. i'll try to update it soon.

Chapter Two

In shikamaru's mind the death of his friend and captain kept flashing over and over. at long last shikamaru finally woke up.
It had been over two weeks since asuma's death, and everyone was back to their normal lives, except, shikamaru ofcourse. this had been the first person close to him, that died in front of his eyes.
Shikamaru's Mom: good mornin' shikamaru, did you sleep well?
shikamaru went over and sat down at the kitchen table, though he wasnt hungry.
Shikamaru: i wouldnt really call that sleep, i was awake for so long my body just gave out on me.
thats what shikamaru wanted to say, but i'll that came out was:
Shikmaru: hm
Ever since he came back from the mission, he had lost his lazy attitude, he wasnt himself anymore.
Shikamaru's Mom: your breakfast is almost ready.
Shikamaru: im not hungry.
Shikamaru's Dad: son, this isnt right, i know you feel guilty but you have to eat.
He was in no mood for arguing, he just simply got up and walked out the front door.
Shika's Mom: shika-
Shika's Dad: dont worry about it...he'll be fine.
He did this alot now, he just needed his space, to clear his mind, to think. he came to the conclusion that his lazy attitude was the downfall of asuma.
Shikamaru: if i had just listened to my dad, and trained more, asuma would be with me right now.
He slowly felt his anger rising, the anger of asuma dieing, of hidan killing his captain, of himself for being so weak.
he had never felt so angry before. he fell to the ground grasping his head, as it exploded with pain.
Shikamaru: whats happening!?? im feeling...so...weak...my...chakra... ARGHAAAA!
He lay on the floor, his head amiss with pain, when everything started going dark.
When he awoke he was in the hokage's office.
Shikamaru: *blinks open eyes* where am i? *sits up and looks around*
Tsunade: Shikamaru, good, i see your awake.
Shikamaru walks over to the two chairs infront of her desk and sits down.
Shikamaru: yeah, what happend to me?
Tsunade: it seems as though you passed out from sheer exhustion.
Shikamaru: how? i had just woken up when i went out for a wal-
Tsunade: your minds still exhuasted from the mission. i need you to rest up.
Shikamaru diverts his eyes from her gaze. and looks out the window.
Shikamaru: *sigh* i dont think i'll ever be back to...normal. how a i supposed to deal with this?
Tsunade: being a shinobi is all about dealing with death, if you cant handle that then you should just quit. now if you're done whining i have some important information.
Shikamaru could feel his anger rising again.
Shikamaru: i have to keep my cool. i cant pass out again what is it?
Tsunade: it seems as though the akatsuki will have a meeting sometime soon. konoha and suna both have scouts scattered across the land. the minute we find out where they are, we're gonna strike.
Shikamaru: *smircks* well that seems like a hokage level mission to me, what am i supposed to do?
Tsunade leans back in her chair.
Tsunade: we cant take any chances, we're sending in all the jounin and chuunin we have. we have to bring akatsuki down for good.
Shikamaru: *with a sarcastic tone* great. now if you'll excuse me please.
Shikamaru walks out the hokage office and out of the building.
Shikamaru: as expected no one even notices asuma's gone.
at that moment, his anger explodes sending pain throughout his head once again, he collapsed to the floor, trying desperately to regain his cool.
Shikamaru: not...again.....i've got....to.....stop...this...
just about when shikamaru could take no more, it all stopped. surprised he looks up to see Jiraiya looking down at him.
Jiraiya: hmph, we gotta talk.
Shikmaru gets up really fast, he had never even talked to jiraya before. this was a first.
Shikamaru: umm....what do you need? *nevous*
Jiraiya: we cant talk here....whatever you do, dont take that seal of your forhead.
Shikamaru lifted his hand to his forhead, and sure enough there was a small piece of paper.
Jiraiya: thats whats surpressing your headache.
Shikamaru: *surprised* how'd you know about that?!?
Jiraiya: *smiles* im a sannin for a reason.
With that he grabs shikamaru and throws him over his shoulder, and teleports to a secluded spot.
Jiraiya: here....will begin your training....
Shikamaru: my...what?
Jiraiya: incase you havent notice, your special....even more so than naruto.
Shikamaru: ...what?!?



yay end of chapter two. i suck with displaying emotions. so just ignore that. ^^

yea basically, thats why kakuzu goes around killing people to collect the bounty (money).

people offer money to have other people killed. and when someone kills the target they collect the bounty.

i'll try to have chapter 3 up by tommorow. ^^

Chapter Three

Shikamaru: ....what?!?
Jiraiya: i said you are special....more so that naruto....you do know that he has the king of all bijuu inside him do you not?
Shikamaru's legs start shaking and he sits down at a near by rock.
Shikamaru: yeah, i knew that--but what did you mean im more special than him?
Jiraiya walks over and sits down on a rock a couple of feet infront of shikamaru.
Jiraiya: its really hard to explain at the moment, so i will have to use simple terms.
Shikamaru: ...sure...
Jiraiya: *sigh* well it seems as though the death of Sarutobi Asuma has been a great blow to you. I trust you have been feeling very tired lately?
Shikamaru: yeah, it seems that its not enough though, i've passed out twice today...
Jiraiya: and i also trust you've been feeling angry or frustrated with this current situation?
Shikamaru: yeah....will you please explain whats going on?
Jiraiya: well, what i think happened is that you were feeling so much anger that your anger level rose too quickly and cuased unbalance with your chakra and cuased you to feel excrutiating pain. You see for a shinobi their emotions, stamina, and chakra should all be in perfect balance. Thats why we are taught to be emotionless. So it is always a perfect balance.
Shikamaru: ...so what does this mean? that i cant be a shinobi anymore?!?
Jiraiya: you think i'd let that happen to one of our best strategist's? no...im gonna help you embrace this problem...im gonna make you see that it is a blessing in disguise. *smiles*
Jiraiya gets up and starts a fire a few feet away from a nearby stream.
Jiraya: we'll have some lunch then we'll get started with the basics.
Shikamaru: ...hm..

Chapter 3 (contnd)

Jiraiya gathers some water into a tea pot he had in his sack and put it over the fire.
Jiraiys: Shikamaru, could you go and get some more twigs for the fire? We're gonna be here a while.
Shikamaru: ..yeah..
Something was still bothering Shikamaru.
Shikamaru: How could i be more special than Naruto? I don't have a bijuu inside of me, nor a curse seal like sasuke. What exactly did Jiraiya mean?
Shikamaru quickly gathered some twigs and hurriedly walked back to the camp site, in anticipation of what was to come.
Jiraiya: Good. Just leave the twigs next to the fire.
Shikamaru did so.
Jiraiya clapped his hands and rubbed them together as if to warm them.
Jiraya: Now, let's get started.
Jiraiya pulled out two cups and poured them each some tea. Then took out two pieces of meat, dried, and peppered, and some bread.
As they both sat down to eat Jiraiya laughed silently to himself.
Jiraiya: Well, this outta be fun.
After silently eating for a few minutes, Jiraiya suddenly got up and threw his food on the floor.
Jiraiya: HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!?
Shikamaru: *falls back* what?!?
Jiraiya: HE WAS YOUR TEACHER, HE TAUGHT YOU EVERYTHING YOU KNOW! YOU SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED HIM!!
Shikamaru: *confused* What's gotten into him all of the sudden?
Jiraiya: HE WOULDA BEEN ALIVE RIGHT NOW IF YOU WERE'NT SO WEEK!! AND WIPE THAT STUPID LOOK OF YOUR FACE.
With that Jiraiya punches Shikamaru in the face sending him thrashing through the trees.
Shikamaru: Whats with you? *slowly gets up* Woah, he's strong!!
Jiraiya: Nothing, I just dont understand how one of our finest shinobi could die in a battle, yet the weekest one makes it back without a scratch on him.
Jiraiya then picks up Shikamaru by the hair and throws him into the air.
Shikamaru: Did he plan this out?!? Does he even intend to help me? I wouldn't even blame him if he didn't, he's right. I did let Asuma die.
As Shikamaru was about to land head first into the ground, Jiraiya apears behind him and lands a blow on his back sending him into another tree.
Jiraiya: No...you didn't let him die. You practically killed him yourself.
Jiraiya gathers chakra into his hand and starts swiring it around.
Jiraiya: And now, I will kill you. RASENGAN!!

Meh end of chapter 3, i updated after a long time. >.>

hope you enjoy it. ^^

Chapter 4

Jiraiya: ...and now i'm gonna kill you!!
Shikamaru could take no more, he knew that Jiraiya meant business. He may have been responsible for Asuma's death, but he still had to survive.
Jiraiya: RASENGAn!!
As Jiraiya thrust down his hand to deliver the final blow, Shikamaru leaped out of the way leaving behind 2 smoke bombs.
Shikamaru: Enough! I have to figure out a way out of this. Whats wrong with him? Is he under some sort of genjutsu?
Shikamaru lands on a very high tree branch.
Shikamaru: No, i dont think theres a genjutsu out there that could trap a sannin.
Shikamaru had to think of something quickly.
Shikamaru: I cant handle this preassure, i'm gonna pass out again. I have to get out of here.
When Shikamaru turned to make an escape he spotted Jiraiya right infront of him.
Jiraiya: Where you going to? Coward!
Shikamaru: *grinds his teeth in anger* What's with you?!? It's not my fault Asuma died. WE WERE FIGHTING AGAISNT TWO HOKAGE LEVEL SHINOBI, WE DIDNT STAND A CHANCE!!
Jiraiya: *snickers* Hmm, almost there. This is too easy. Then tell me exactly, how you were able to make it out alive?!
Shikamaru: BECUASE ASUMA GAVE HIS LIFE TO PROTECT US!! I may be a worthless shinobi, but Asuma chose to protect me, he gave me a second chance. And i respect him way to much to let you take away what he has given me.
Shikamaru stands up to his full height and looks Jiraiya dead in the eyes.
Shikamaru: Jiraiya-sama, prepare youself!!

Chapter 4 (continued)

Shikamaru: Jiraiya-sama, prepare yourself!
With that Shikamaru jumped up a few feet, and launched 4 shuriken at Jiraiya, and landed on a lower branch. And immidietly after landing made some handseals.
The shuriken headed towards Jiraiya's legs one after the other, each one sending him back a few feet. He suddenly froze.
Jiraiya: *slowly raises his head to look at Shikamaru* You really think this jutsu can stop me?
Shikamaru had caught Jiraiya in his shadow bind, but it didn't seem to have any effect on him. Jiraiya suddenly poofed and he was gone, it was a shadow clonde.
Shikamaru: what?
Jiraiya stepped out from the shadows behind shika and leaned forward to whisper in his ear.
Jiraiya: I thought it was obvious, you gave me more than enough time to make a clone, infact, i thought you did it on purpose. *smiles*
Jiraiya put his hand on Shikamaru's shoulder and lightly shoved him off the branch. Shikamaru was too stunned to even move.
Shikamaru landed with a loud thud on the grassy floor.
Jiraiya: Ok, now see, this is the part that confuses me *he silently landed next to Shikamaru barely ruffling a leaf*, you're supposed to a be a genius. But all i see here is just another chunnin, and a barely qualified one at that.
Shikamaru grinded his teeth in anger, and swiftly did a leg sweep in hopes of catching Jiraiya off guard.
But Jiraiya simply moved out of the way.
Jiraiya: I remember a time, when Asuma was telling us, that'd you, Shikamaru, would make a good Jounin.
Jiraiya leaped into the air landing on boulder a few yards away.
Jiraiya: He must not be a very good shinobi if he thought you would make a good jounin.
Shikamaru rushed at Jiraiya with a kunai in each hand. He jumped up to Jiraiya's eye level and threw a kunai lodging Jiraiya's coat on the boulder, and throwing the other one at Jiraiya's chest. But Jiraiya' let the kunai catch his coat, and caught the other kunai in between to fingers.
Jiraiya: Hell! He had undergone the same training as the 3 sannin! And the third was his father, i just don't get how someone could turn out this weak.
Shikamaru tried using his shadow bind once again, but his chakra was completely depleated, he didn't even think twice about it, he rushed Jiraiya with a series of kicks, and punches.
Jiraiya dodged all of them with ease, and started laughing at how pathetic this scene was.
Shikamaru sent a kick as Jiraiyas chest, which Jiraiya easily deflected with the flick of his wrist. Shikamaru then threw a punch which Jiraiya caught in his hand easily. Jiraiya threw his arm back and sent it flying forward towards Shikamaru, the punch landed on Shikamaru's stomach sending him flying backwards.
Shikamaru slowly got up, and made a handseal.
Jiraiya: hmm? i thought he was out of chakra, what's he doing?
Shikamaru: I will not let you disrespect Asuma! He may have died but he died protecting Konoha! And he will be avenged...starting with you!
Shikamaru pulled out his remaining chakra from all over his body, he was going to give it his all. He gathered all the chakra in his fist, and transformed it into shadow.
Jiraiya: Well whaddya know, a jutsu i haven't seen before.
The chakra fist started growing shadow spikes all around the fist, in the shape of a mace.
Jiraiya: Good, he intends to kill. This'll make it much easier for me.
Just as Shikamaru was finishing up his jutsu, his head burst with pain.
Shikamaru: No! I've got to give it my all, after i finish him off, i'll take care of that akatsuki guy....I will avenge you, Asuma!
With his head bursting with pain, and barely being able to see straight Shikamaru took off towards his target, Jiraiya. Just as Shikamaru reached him, Jiraiya grabbed his wrist and stopped the jutsu, just as Itachi had once done to Sasuke.
Jiraiya bent down to look Shikamaru in the face.
Shikmaru winced, thinking of whay Jiraiya might do to him.
Jiraiya: ...Good work....we're done for today.
With that he walked back towards the camp site, leaving behind a very confused Shikamaru.

End of Chapter 4

Chapter 5

Shikamaru, hurriedly got up and ran after Jiraiya.
Shikamaru: Wait! Whaddya' mean we're done for today? You tried to kill me!!
Jiraiya stops in his tracks and turns around.
Jiraiya: Oh that? I was just weighing you, seeing how good of a shinobi you really are. You did fairly well, and that shadow fist, where'd you learn that from?
Shikamaru: well...i'm not sure, i was just acting on instinct.
Jiraiya: It was pretty amazing though, Asuma should be happy.
Shikamaru: Why?
Jiraiya: Becuase he's got such a good friend, you almost killed yourself with that jutsu, yet you still went ahead with it.
Shikamaru: ...
Jiraiya turned around and started walking back towards the camp site again.
Shikamaru slowly followed after him.
Jiraiya went over and sat down on the rock he was sitting on before.
Jiraiya: So tell me, did you feel any pain in your head again?
Shikamaru sat down as well.
Shikamaru: Yeah, when i did that weird jutsu, my head burst with pain, despite that i had the sealing paper on my forhead. (A/N i have no idea what the hell those are called. ^^)
Jiraiya: That just means, it's getting worse.
Shikamaru: Well whatever it is, how do i cure it?
Jiraiya: Thats the thing, you don't.
Shikamaru: ...then what?
Jiraiya: The thing is lately you've been feeling a lot of anger and sorrow, so your emotions have been out of balance with your chakra, and stamina. follow me so far?
Shikamaru: ..yeah..
Jiraiya: So those headaches you've been feeling is basically your chakra and stamina trying to restore the balance, so it's forcing your body to make more of each. It's happened to many shinobi's when first experiencing death.
Shikamaru: Doesn't that shorten a shinobi's life span though?
Jiraiya: Theoretically, yes. But only by a little. Gradually it can build up though. Yours however is a more serious condition, your emotions doubled or trippled atleast.
Shikamaru: Why is that?
Jiraya: I'm guessing becuase you'd always be calm and collected, so your emotions were always at a perfect balance with your chakra and stamina.
Shikamaru: So what do we do then?
Jiraiya: Well this is just a theory of mine, but i think that you should try and do some meditation, relax a bit.
Shikamaru: Will that make my emotions come into balance?
Jiraiya: Not exactly, but with meditation you'll be able to balance it out yourself.
Shikamaru: How?
Jiraiya: Well, i guess you could just transfer some of your raw energy from your emotions into your chakra or stamina tank. This is actually very good. In theory it could make you stronger too.

Class time, i'll continue it later.

Shikamaru: ... Stronger? Is it really possible to become stronger just like that?
Jiraiya: Well thats pretty much all I can tell you at the moment, we'll figure everything else out as we reach each stage.
Shikamaru: ...yeah...
Jiraiya: Hey, don't look so sad, this training should make you alot stronger than before.
Shikamaru: ...I know...
Jiraiya stands up and pats Shikamaru's shoulder as he walks away.
Jiraiya: You better get some rest, we'll start you're training tommorow.
