Kakashi was standing in front of Kakuzu, who looked around saying "Sun Demon isn't here? Phew!" Shikamaru muttered "Sun Demon?" Kakuzu explained simply "I notified his abilities to my leader and now he has a bounty on his head. 1 Billion Ryou!"
The group was stunned and Kakashi frowned, "You should add another one." before he grabbed his wrist as his hand turned black.
Kakuzu watched him and said "A kid like you wants to kill me? You're 100 years too late!" Kakashi ignored him and shot his hand into the air, saying "No, no, you're mistaken…"
The clouds darkened and a pillar of lightning fell from the sky onto Kakashi, who said "I'm going to slaughter you."
'BOOOM!'
Kakuzu muttered "Suicide?" Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji looked at the dust cloud with shock and confusion, "Naruto and Sakura deal with this guy?" Shikamaru froze and looked at the dust cloud, saying "It shouldn't be right?" There's no way…"
Ino and Choji slowly had their eyes widen as the dust cleared.
Kakashi was standing in the middle with a light blue cloak over his body, it crackled with electricity as he had black lines of haki along his face, coiling up light blue lightning horns on his head.
A ribbon of crackling electricity wrapped around his shoulders and under his arms as he opened his eyes.
Both his eyes were light blue and one of them had the Sharingan, but the other had his pupil in the shape of a lightning bolt!
Kakuzu froze and shouted in terror "What the hell is this?!"
Kakashi disappeared and reappeared behind Kakuzu with dagger shaped Chidori on his haki covered hands.
Kakuzu fell to the ground and muttered weakly "How… Did you… Know?" all four of his masks and his own chest suddenly exploded!
Kakashi turned his eyes and pointed his palm at a certain rock, saying "Screaming Pillar." a massive pillar of screeching lightning blew away an entire area of rock and sand in an instant!
Kakashi frowned "Nothing?" before flickering and disappearing.
Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji looked at each other in confusion before Ino stomped her foot, saying "Why did we even come!?"
Shikamaru sighed and smiled, "Doesn't matter, it seems like we're still weak…"
Kakashi came back and said "Grab his body and go back to the village." Shikamaru asked "What about yo-" Kakashi coughed and said quickly "I'll be there in a minute, don't worry about me." before disappearing instantly.
The three could only see a flash of lightning in the sky, disappear over the horizon in an instant.
They sucked in a cold breath of air and picked up Kakuzu's corpse, returning to Konoha in a hurry.
At the scene, a plant thing came out of the ground and said in shock "Holy! Luckily we only peeked! We need to tell Pain!" before disappearing.
Kakashi returned to Konoha and collapsed at Ryu's door, his sage mode transformation disappearing with the wind.
Ryu opened the door and saw Kakashi collapsed at his front door and a huge question mark appeared above his head.
He crouched down and took out a senzu bean, stuffing it into Kakashi's mouth.
Kakashi sat up and sucked in breaths heavily, saying "Oh my!" Ryu blinked at him, asking "What happened?" Kakashi explained, "I used Sage Mode, but the toll on the body is so great! I almost died just now…"
He flipped out a book and started writing in it, explaining how he felt to Ryu, who sat there and rubbed his chin. When he heard Kakashi used Armament Haki to block the Lightning from scorching his brain, Ryu clapped telling him he was a genius.
Kakashi sighed and told him that he really almost just died right then. It was even more dangerous than Naruto's new technique… Ryu patted his shoulder and smiled "Because your body isn't strong enough."
He brought Kakashi to an open area away from Konoha before saying "Back off a bit." Kakashi jumped back a long distance and Ryu closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before snorting and opening them as he clapped his hands together, flames exploding around him, covering his entire body.
The fire swirled and disappeared.
Ryu was suddenly wearing a flaming cloak with pure red horns growing out of his forehead. Red lines ran down from the horns and curled under his eyes as his hands turned into flaming claws.
He turned to Kakashi and said "See?" he raised a fist and punched at the sky.
Kakashi looked up and his lip twitched as the entire sky suddenly burned with flames. Even the clouds seemed to be made of flames at this moment…
Ryu flipped his palm and a ball of flames condensed before he threw it out at a mountain in the distance. Kakashi blinked and the mountain was gone!
He pouted at Ryu, saying "Alright! I get it, you're the best…" Ryu froze and complained with a chuckle, "I'm showing you Sage Mode!" Kakashi squatted and poked at the ground, replying "More like showing off…"
Ryu released the Sage mode and swayed, saying with a frown "The consumption is a bit much…" Kakashi grinned and said "That's what I'm talking about!" he cheered, waving his fist, "Ryu isn't invincible!"
Ryu's lips twitched and he said "You know, sometimes I really hate you, right?" Kakashi gave him a peace sign, replying "Oh, don't worry… It's my intention." Ryu's eyes twitched at him and Kakashi suddenly changed the topic, "I think… I should be able to beat you now, right?"
Ryu: ???
Kakashi explained with a grin, raising a finger, "I can explode out with 10,000 degrees one time in Sage Mode." Ryu's mouth twitched and he rubbed his fists, grinning "Wanna try?"
Kakashi froze and sighed at the sky "The clouds are so beautiful today…" before running away. Ryu laughed, "I burned the clouds, you bastard!" as he chased after him.
Meanwhile, somewhere far away…
Sasuke freed a guy named Suigetsu, who thanked him and smiled, "Before we got there, there's something I want to grab…" Sasuke looked at him with a frown, asking "What is it?"
Suigetsu smiled and raised a finger "Zabuza's Beheading sword." Sasuke froze and patted his shoulder, saying "I'll see you in the Pure Land." before walking away.
Suigetsu was dumbfounded and chased after him, saying "Hey! Hey! Sasuke, where are you going?!" Sasuke waved over his shoulder, saying "To find new partners. That sword is hanging in a certain man's house. Even I'm scared of him, not to mention Orochimaru was just a chicken in front of that guy. Do you think you're better than me and Orochimaru?"
Suigetsu froze and said in disbelief "So strong?! I don't believe it! Damn! What am I going to do now?!" Sasuke stopped and rummaged through his clothes before pulling out a scroll.
He swiped on the scroll and a giant scissor popped out.
It was bright red and only half of a pair of scissors.
Sasuke looked at the huge scissor piece and slid it behind his back before throwing Suigetsu the small blade on his back.
Suigetsu caught it and sighed "What the hell am I supposed to do with this?!" Sasuke said "Make do." before swinging around the red scissor, remembering when Ryu gave one piece to him and Naruto each.
Suigetsu looked at the scissor strangely and Sasuke swung it fiercely, injecting chakra.
The scissor grew dramatically and chopped off a forest in the distance.
Suigetsu froze and drooled at the scissor sword, saying "Can we switch?!" Sasuke frowned and said "No!" before putting it behind him and walking away as Suigetsu chased after him, saying "Aiya! Sasuke-sama~ pleeeease~!?"
"No!"
A week slowly passed~
