The Salamander of Equestria
Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIn the village called Amegakure, the village that never stops raining, a fierce battle was going on between two individuals. One of the individuals was Pein who once went as nagato but took on the name Pein after he was forced to kill his friend by Hanzo. The other individual was Zin, the adopted son of Hanzo the Salamander who became one of the strongest shinobi of Amegakure and earned the nickname "The Black Salamander".
Zin threw his kusarigama at Pein while holding his chain with his left hand at Pein who jumped back then jumped again as Zin pulled his weapon back by the chain into his right hand and stabbed the place where Pein once was and looked towards Pein who now was at the top of the cliff and was standing there looking down at Zin who pulled his weapon out of the ground and was looking up at Pein as the rain continued to pour over the two and the land.
The area was transforming by the battle that was destroying the land but at the same time it was creating a landscape. The land was riddled with giant holes in the ground and their depths seemed to never end. There was also two giant rocks that had also formed into two shapes that both looked human.
Both of the combatants were both unique in there own way. Pein skin was light pale. He was wearing a cloak that was wearing a dark cloak that was partially torn. The cloak has red clouds, with red interior, and a chin-high collar. He also has short spiky orange hair and has ripple-like pattern, that spread over his eyeballs, with light purple irides and sclerae. He also have six piercings, a metal bar through each ear, three studs through the side of his upper nose, and one spike stud on each end of his bottom lip. Looking at Pein, it looked like he didn't have any weapons but Zin knew of his black charkra rods that could be used to stab and kill someone.
His opponent Zin skin was also light pale. He was wearing black combat boots and black sweat pants. He was also wearing black gloves and breathing mask like his father only it was black without the markings. Zin had hair that was silver and his eyes were the same color. Zin was also using a kusarigama like his father. His kusarigama handle was silver with a black kanji symbol that means salamander in the middle.
Zin stood on his guard but couldn't help but look around the land while still keeping wary a eye on Pein. Zin also began to feel a little sad at the destruction that Pein and him was causing to the land. Zin then looked at over at Pein who was just standing there. "What is he thinking?" asked Zin.
"Have you begun to understand pain?" Pein asked
Zin looked at him with a confused expression on his face.
"I have began to understand pain which is why you will never be my equal" said Pein. "That is how I also know that peace will never happen unless pain is passed on to others and then only will true peace come to the world."
Zin closed his eyes to think about what was just said. "Your wrong" said Zin. "That's not true peace nor is it the right way." Zin opened his eyes. "True peace is when the villages unite as one to defend this world and everything they hold dear to them."
Both were so quiet that you could of dropped a feather and would probably be able to hear it. "You a naïve fool" said Pein. "I shouldn't waste my time with you. Once you dead then will Hanzo name be erased as will yours, Black Salamander."
"Then the time for talk is over but know this, Pein. My convictions are strong as is my believe for peace." said Zin. "Now I will - Zin bend both his knees while holding his right hand above his head with his weapon in his hand and his left hand hung by his leg holding his chain - SHOW YOU!" "Zin then sprinted at Pein"
Pein stood there waiting for Zin to come close to him. When Zin was within range, he swung his weapon at Pein's head who just ducked only to get kneed in the face causing him to stumble back. Zin using this as a chance swung his weapon at Pein's face. Pein saw his weapon coming at him raised his hand. "Shinra Tensei!" shouted Pein -Zin felt a invisible force hit him and sent him backwards." Zin back hand springed to his feet.
"That jutsu again!" shouted Zin in his mind. "I have to be more careful. If I get hit with that again, I might be done. Why doesn't he do
that move the whole time? I also seen it change color so does that mean it has different power levels? -Zin chuckled in his mind- "A least his other bodies are down for the count."
As Zin was thinking, Pein had pulled out one of his chakra rods from his right sleeve and was holding it in his hand.
"Do you see now?" asked Pein. "You don't stand against me"
"Perhaps, but you know what I don't care" said Zin "I swore on my honor that I would fight to protect those who couldn't defend themselves and to findpeace. You preach about your strength, but that's not true strength. What true strength is when you find something precious to protect and what you need most importantly is the guts....to never give up!" "-Zin brought his right hand above his head with his weapon in his right hand- "I'll show you!" shouted Zin.
The two stood in silence as the rain continued to pour over them then Pein ran at Zin who also ran at Pein. When the two have gotten close to each other they both swung their weapons at each and time seemed to slow down on the two until their was a wet slicing sound and blood landed on the ground.
Both people stood shoulder to shoulder. Zin weapon was over Pein shoulder while Pein weapon was impaled through Zin's chest and sticking out the back.
The two stood there in silence until Pein pulled his weapon out causing Zin to fall on his stomach with his weapon still clutched in his right hand.
"Do you see now that challenging a god was foolish," said Pein
Zin just looked up at Pein and laughed. "What's so funny?" asked Pein
"You are"-Zin chuckles some more- "You not a god but are just a little boy who's scared."
Pein looked down at him with a emotionless facial expression. "You are quite annoying,"- Pein raised his rod into the air and pointed it down- "but you were a strong opponent so I'll grant you a painless death." Pein brought his weapon down onto Zin who was still smiling behind his mask. When Pein weapon reached him he Zin saw no more.Pein pulled his rod out of Zin and stood there in silence out of respect for his enemy.
(unknown place)
White was what would be used to describe this place. Everywhere it was white, no trees no ground and no sky. The only thing that coud be seen was Zin with his weapon.
Zin eyes was closed as his body was floated in the emptiness till a voice spoke.
"Zin, The Black Salamander. I have watched you for a very long time ever since I created you as I have all my children. I watched as Hanzo adopted you and when he implanted the Black Salamander venom sac into you. He sought to turn you into a deadly ninja. He succeed but you never lost your emotions but instead caused him to see you as a son," said the unknown voice, "You believed in peace and sought the out the answer. I will send you to another world one. I hope for you to find the peace you seek."
Zin body began to glow a bright light. It grew brighter and brighter until it disappeared along with Zin body.
"Every story has an ending...but in life, every ending is just a new beginning," The unknown voice spoke, "Good luck Zin."
As Zin laid with his eyes closed waiting, he clenched his right hand to feel grass then opened his hand
....."Wait...grass?" questioned Zin.
Zin opened his see sky as well as tree's around him. Zin slowly sat up and looked around bewildered.
"Aren't I supposed to be dead?"asked Zin. -Zin looked down at his chest where he was stabbed only to find nothing- "What in the world?I know I was."
"Okay let's see Im not dead..I think. Well one way to find out" said Zin -Zin raised his right hand and hit himself between the legs causing him to fall down his knees in pain - "Okay I'm alive. That hurt too much."
Zin got onto his feet although really slow. Zin started to look around to have a more idea of where he was. He knew he was in a forest but where though. As Zin started to think he saw a something reflecting off of something. He walked over to see his kusarigama.
"Glad to see you okay my friend," Zin said -Zin reached down with his right and picked up the handle with his right hand and the chain with his left and started to look at it for any damage- "Still good."
"Now where am" Zin began to ask himself - Zin heard screaming and looked over in the direction where it came from- "That sounds like children!"
Without thinking Zin immediately jumped into the trees and begun jumping tree from to tree as fast as he can. As he began to get closer his ninja training allowed him to hear what sounded like growling. "Need to hurry" said Zin.
When Zin landed into the tree where he heard the screaming he saw "Wolf's made out of wood?"Zin asked confused - Zin cocked his head to the side but shook his head cleared- "That's a weird summon but then again I don't have one."
Zin looked closer to see three wolfs growling and biting at the three kid's. One of them was holding a stick swinging it at the wolfs while the other two were crowded behind the one with the stick. Zin looked and saw another wolf coming behind the three and was about to pounce on them.
"I don't think so" Zin spoke pissed off. - Zin clutched his chain with his and with his right hand he drew back his kusarigama and threw it-
"We should of listened to our sisters about not going into the Everfree Forest," said Apple bloom while hugging Sweetie Belle.
-"Well let's try to get out of this first!" shouted Scootaloo as she was still swinging at the Timberwolves with the branch. As she was still swinging at them she saw the timber wolf behind her friends.
" Guy's behind you!" shouted Scootaloo. Both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle turn around just as the timber pounced at them. As it happened it seemed time slowed down as the wolf was coming closer to them when a kusarigama went passed them and sliced right threw the timber wolf's head and as it went past its body the kusarigama came back and sliced threw it's body as well causing the wolf to hit the ground and break into pieces.
The cutie mark crusaders were confused but grateful and watched as the strange weapon go back to to where the chain was connected and saw a strange creature that looked almost like a pony but was without the fur jump from the tree, caught its weapon and landed in front of them and was facing away from them while holding it's strange weapon.
"I don't want to have to destroy you all but I won't let you harm these children," spoke Zin and as he did the cutie mark crusader shared with each other a confused look that asked "Children?"
The timber wolfs just looked at him not sure what to do. While Zin was watching them, the one he cut to pieces was regenerated behind him and had jumped at Apple Bloom from behind until Zin sensed it with his training and turned and threw his chain around the wolf.
"No. Bad wolf," Said Zin - Zin then swung the wolf around and slammed it right in front of the other's causing it break into pieces and looked at the others with emotionless eye's causing them to become frightened. They all begun to run off leaving one behind. As the one was done regenerated it looked around to see it's pack gone and turned to look at Zin.
"Boo," said Zin - causing the timber to run off-
"That was awesome!" Scootaloo "Though not as awesome as Rainbow Dash."
Zin turned to look at them without his emotionless eye's.
"Are your children..." started Zin as he saw that they were not human. "ok?" finished Zin
He saw that they were probably all about the age of seven and had fur that was over their bodies instead of skin but each one had a different color fur. One had Pale, light grayish olive fur and she had Brilliant amaranth hair with a Light brilliant crimson pink ribbon tied on at the top. She was also wearing a orange t-shirt that had a red apple on it with orange jeans and here eyes were a Brilliant gamboge.
The second one had Light gray fur and had a Grayish mulberry with pale, light grayish rose streaks hair. She also had what appeared to be a horn at the top of her head. She was wearing a light blue t shirt and dark grey jeans. her eye's were Pale, light grayish harlequin.
The third one had two small wing's coming out of her back threw the holes on the back of her muscle shirt and sport's bra. She was also wearing blue workout pants that had a rainbow coming down the side of the pant leg. Her fur was Light brilliant gamboge and she had Moderate cerise hair. Her eye's were a Grayish purple.
Zin started to walk over to them when he saw they began to shake with fear. "Hey I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to see if you three are ok," said Zin - he flashed them a smile that just made them believe him and not fear him. " Can you tell me your names."
The Light brilliant gamboge was first to introduce herself with a smile. "I'm Scootaloo"
The Light gray then introduced herself with a smile as well "I'm Sweetie Belle."
The last one introduced herself "I'm Apple Bloom. And together we are, the other two joined in as well "The cutie mark crusaders." There was also fire works behind them?
Zin sweat dropped and blinked a few time and said out loud. "You three have really strange summons name's."
"Hey we not summons's, we are ponies! Ponies!" shouted Scootaloo 'And this is Equestria!"
Zin looked at them while the three looked at him.
Zin then did what any battle hardened warrior would do "NANI!" shouted Zin.
Meanwhile at Canterlot,
Celestia and Luna were together at the dinning room table just enjoying a cup of tea and talking when both heard a loud
"NNNNNAAAAANNNNNIIIIIIII!"
Causing them to spill their tea over themselves. A familiar draconequus happened to teleport into the dining room and saw them covered in tea. He looked at them for about five seconds then fell onto his back laughing while the two just glared at him.
