Chapter 16 - Kamui

Arriving at the ideal distance for their attacks, the two attacked the vampire with enviable synchrony.

Their synchrony and skill in these movements could only be performed because they had the same thoughts and skills, anyone else in their clone's place could not perform such a feat.

His attacks were fast and precise, noticing the damage that appeared in the areas that were hit by his blows.

Kakashi discovered that even though his Raikiri was not as efficient as flames in confronting the vampire, the lightning element also seemed to be a weakness of that vampire.

This fact makes him hopeful, since his main elements were Raiton and Douton, Katon was not his specialty, Kakashi knew some jutsus, but he did not master this element completely.

Silvery blue glows were visible as Kakashi and his clone moved, it was a beautiful sight to see.

They were maintaining control of the vampire while attacking him, their control using the silver thread was enviable, Kakashi knew he couldn't tighten the thread too much, because otherwise the vampire could break it with his enormous strength.

But he also couldn't leave the thread too loose in his grip because the vampire would break free, the control over the thread had to be perfect and coordinated.

His attacks then were all calculated and well planned, his experience guided him in that fight.

It seemed more like a dance between Kakashi and his clone, they were attacking him simultaneously, and in opposite areas, they were confusing their enemy who had no rational thoughts.

Unable to formulate a plan, the vampire could only react to what happened around him, making him an easy target for someone who had Kakashi's power and experience.

Kakashi and his clone attacked him in certain places, and in ways that left him unable to react.

Taking advantage of his total inability to make decisions, Kakashi wanted to confuse his instincts, he knew that the vampire would be able to get out of this situation if he had rational thinking, the speed and strength he demonstrated was enough to free himself from his bonds.

They wanted to limit the vampire's movements, Kakashi realized that it would be difficult to have a head-on fight against a being that had so many powerful abilities, the best way to achieve victory was to use his advantage, which would be his intelligence and experience.

Each blow the two dealt him created a new wound on his body, they spread and made superficial cuts all over his body, Kakashi wanted to see if he could overload the vampire's regeneration capacity.

The regeneration ability was not something new to Kakashi, in his original world some people had this type of ability.

Tsunade with her original jutsu could continue regenerating as long as she had chakra, but this ability required a large amount of chakra to be used, he had to gather chakra for weeks to be able to use such a technique.

Naruto and the other Jinchuurikis could use the tailed beasts' chakra to heal themselves, but this ability came at a price, the bijuu's host would overload its body with this healing process.

Orochimaru also went through the same process, his technique required a large amount of energy and chakra to continue being used, it also slowly destroyed his body, meaning he had to constantly change bodies.

Kakashi knew that abilities like these couldn't come without any price to pay, it wouldn't make sense for a being to have such an ability without having any disadvantage in return.

Even Hidan and Kakuzu, beings who were said to be immortal, had a price to pay to have such abilities.

Hidan would have to make a sacrifice to his mad God constantly, otherwise he would lose his immortality.

Kakuzu used the hearts of his victims to steal their jutsu and to stay alive even after so many decades. With this technique he managed to survive a battle against Hashirama, but he was defeated by the Shinobi God.

'Even after all the injuries I'm inflicting on him, his ability doesn't show any signs of weakening, and continues at the same pace as before.'

Kakashi realized that his initial plan had failed and he would have to launch a more brutal and decisive attack.

'I realize that these small injuries will not give me the expected result, the plan is risky, but in this situation it is all or nothing I have to risk everything, I have no other solution'.

Exchanging a quick look at his clone he conveyed his message without saying a word, then in the next second they attacked the vampire's neck at the same time and from opposite sides, the vampire's head flew and blood spurted everywhere.

They didn't just stop with the vampire's head, their attacks continued targeting other parts of the vampire.

Kakashi and his clone cut off the creature's legs, then they attacked him, aiming at his organs, hitting him in his kidneys, lungs, heart, spleen, diaphragm and liver, Kakashi aimed at all the main organs of a human body, he overloaded the organs of the creature with his Raikiri, making them explode due to the high voltage of his jutsu.

After going through this entire process, Kakashi decided not to risk it so he split the vampire's head in half, separating his brain in two.

He did not rip off the vampire's arms, as he knew that without arms he could escape his bonds easily, Kakashi was very wary of the vampire's regenerative abilities.

Kakashi didn't know the extent of a vampire's immortality, but he didn't want to risk it, he hoped that this time the vampire would die for good, but he always kept in his head the possibility that not even this attack would be enough to kill the vampire.

His caution proved accurate, even in that state the vampire managed to recover.

 

The vampire's body parts were returning to their original place, his legs were returning to their place, the wounds on his body were visibly regenerating.

His head that was close to Kakashi also flew back to its original place, Kakashi using his Sharinga saw that the vampire's organs were growing again, Kakashi completely destroyed them, they had no way to regenerate so new ones were being born.

'What is happening? His regeneration did not slow down after these attacks, in fact his regeneration accelerated.'

Kakashi was confused by what was happening, he expected some logic in the vampire's abilities, but he discovered that his regeneration did not come from anything biological or rational, his regenerative ability was a supernatural ability, something that could not be explained in any way. .

Realizing his chance, Yennefer was going to attack, but something took his concentration away.

Yennefer delayed her attack a little out of pure confusion with what she saw, she was also surprised by the vampire's regenerative abilities, but soon recovered and used her spell, she launched several fireballs at the vampire.

Her combination of blows was different this time, she realized that they wouldn't go for the same classic movement after Kakashi's attacks.

In the world of illusions they generally used this combination on beings that had a high defense, or when they were surrounded.

Kakashi caught the enemies' attention as she opened the ground beneath the creatures with a spell, Kakashi filled the crater with water and it finished with a shower of lightning.

This strike was effective against several types of enemies, as well as being useful against a being that had a powerful external defense, but was vulnerable to internal attacks.

As a creature would be submerged in water, water would enter its mouth, nose, ears and eyes, so the monster would suffer from being electrocuted, even if it was immune to electrical damage, its organs would not withstand such voltage.

This time the creature wouldn't die just from an electric shock, she realized that Kakashi tried this, the solution would have to be more complete, Yennefer would try to somehow end up with the pieces of the vampire's body.

Her attack was somewhat efficient, the creature was almost completely destroyed, there was almost nothing left of its former being, just a few pieces of its body that were burning.

Yennefer overloaded her mind and body a little with that spell, she wanted to eliminate all the creature's clothing, but she failed in the end.

Kakashi believed that even if a creature survived this attack, it would give him some time after the attack, or that it would give him enough time to plan his next attack, but he would not have that amount of time.

The creature was recovering abnormally, almost nothing was left of its flesh, but even so it wasn't enough to finish off the vampire, Kakashi couldn't understand how that was possible.

Yennefer was in the same situation, even though she expected the creature's immortality, she did not expect this speed of recovery from the vampire, as the information she had contradicted this vampire's ability.

She believed that with the consecutive damage he suffered, it would take at least a few months for the vampire to fully recover, but contradicting the information she had, the vampire was already almost completely cured.

Kakashi didn't stand still and wait for the vampire's complete return, he and his clone tied him back with the silver thread, Kakashi realized that the thread wasn't in the best condition after Yennefer's spell, but the thread was still Kakashi's best option. .

He had to contain the creature somehow.

Being bound by the silver thread Kakashi wore, the vampire's movements were still restricted, but Kakashi knew this was temporary, he knew the thread wouldn't be able to withstand the vampire's strength for much longer.

Noticing that the vampire's behavior was different, Kakashi realized that he was more wild and irrational, the force he was exerting to free himself was much greater than that previously exerted.

The difficulty of containing him increased greatly, the thread was managing to penetrate Kakashi's glove even more, causing the cuts on his hand to become worse.

Kakashi noticed that the vampire was staring at Yennefer who was the last to attack.

He already suspected this type of attitude from the vampire, who was targeting the last person who attacked him, Kakashi knew he could use this characteristic to his advantage.

Any small advantage that appeared would have to be used in the best possible way. 

Using all his strength the vampire managed to break his bonds, Kakashi saw when the silver thread was about to break, he then threw an explosive Kunai at the vampire, and soon after launched the mixture that affected creatures with magical abilities.

He didn't know the effect of the mixture, but he hoped it would be positive.

Not having much hope for that attack, Kakashi already expected it to be ineffective, so he wasn't surprised when the vampire wasn't affected by it.

Kakashi was already starting to run out of alternatives to his problem, he and Yennefer had already used different skills, and caused the most diverse damage to the vampire, but these injuries were nothing to the vampire and he treated his injuries as if they were nothing.

His regeneration was something very unusual, neither Kakashi nor Yennefer had seen anything like it in their lives.

Even after being dismembered, the vampire recovered quickly, this situation left the two increasingly without options.

Yennefer was already showing signs of physical and mental fatigue, Kakashi knew that she would soon collapse from using so much magic.

He managed to think of two possibilities, which could lead them to victory, and neither of them had a guarantee that it would work, both had their difficulties to overcome.

The first attempt, Kakashi would try to use a combination of jutsus, which could completely destroy the vampire's body. He wanted to turn his body into dust, but the chakra exhaustion he would feel after using this technique could be fatal for them, if If the vampire survived the attack, Kakashi would be practically trapped.

Kakashi was sure that his other solution would be effective against the vampire, but he didn't know if using this ability, the Djin considered that they had passed the third ordeal, since the vampire would not actually be dead he would just be trapped eternally in the Kamui dimension of Kakashi.

He was reluctant to use his Magenkyo as it could create other problems for them, after the vampire disappeared the two would have to look for a way to get out of that place and Kakashi doubted it would be an easy task.

The Djin could also pose other dangers for them to face, having understood that they cheated as he did in the second ordeal.

Deciding that he would only use his Kamui as a last resort, Kakashi decides to have Yennefer ready for this if necessary.

"Yen, I want you to start gathering as much energy as possible, I need you to use a spell that can trap the vampire for a while, when I give the signal, you will have to use your skill."

He decided that he would prepare his next attack, he didn't know exactly how much chakra he would have after his next attack, but Kakashi knew that he would have to be prepared to be able to finish off the vampire, if he managed to survive his next technique.

'I never thought I would use this, but it seems that learning this Ambu training will be of some use'

Making two clones, Kakashi moved to attack the vampire and his clones were at high speed, Kakashi was using everything he had.

Kakashi advanced towards the vampire, they were engaging in combat, the vampire's attacks were fast and powerful but he had no strategy or rational thought, so his attacks were easily read, Kakashi was dodging his attacks while causing damage to his body.

The vampire's speed was worrying, but with the help of the small bell he placed on the vampire's body, Kakashi was able to predict where the vampire would be.

His and his clones' attacks were confusing the vampire, when he would attack one of the three the one who was further away would use something to get his attention, by doing this Kakashi managed to mitigate the vampire, while causing damage.

Kakashi's goal was to overload his body with the amount of damage he was causing, Kakashi realized with his previous attacks that he had an amount of damage he could do to the vampire, where he would not immediately regenerate.

He couldn't inflict mortal wounds on him, otherwise his regeneration would speed up.

Kakashi wanted to maximize the time it took for the vampire to recover, so he would use this disadvantage of the vampire to complete his technique, but Kakashi knew that these small injuries would not give him enough time, it was necessary for the vampire to be immobilized more definitively. for a while.

After spreading deep wounds through the vampire's flesh, Kakashi continued his attacks and moved on to the next part of his plan.

But he was interrupted, his clone couldn't be quick enough to get the vampire's attention.

The vampire managed to approach Kakashi at an absurd speed, greater than previously demonstrated, he looked like he had gone into berserker mode.

Even though the bell warned Kakashi of the vampire's attack, he was unable to react in time to dodge it, he used the stone skin technique all over his body, Kakashi did not have time to check where the vampire's attack would hit, so he couldn't focus the jutsu in one place.

Using his claws, the vampire attacked Kakashi's back, his claws easily cut through the chain mail that Kakashi was wearing.

A loud sound of steel colliding with stone sounded, the vampire's claws managed to pierce through Kakashi's defense and wounded his back superficially, his claws were unable to cause any mortal damage.

But the impact of the attack caused Kakashi to collide with the coffin that was in the center of the crypt, Kakashi felt his entire body hurting.

His organs were badly shaken by the vampire's attack, he felt that at least two of his ribs were broken, blood dripped from his mouth.

His clones did not stand still in that situation and quickly advanced towards the vampire.

With quick cuts from their swords that were imbued with their Raikiri, even with the resistance that their vampire neck presented, they managed to cut off the vampire's head with a powerful attack, and it didn't stop there, they continued with their attacks, they will cut off the vampire's other limbs.

Their goal was to do this gradually, but circumstances forced them to do so.

Kakashi realized that his body's condition was not good, and he would have to rush his technique the more time passed, the weaker he would become.

His injuries were not fatal at that time, but he knew that with the physical effort he would make combined with the lack of treatment he could end up dying.

Blood dripped from his back, his ribs hurt and his internal organs were bruised, none of these injuries were anything to take lightly.

"Yen, don't worry, I'm fine, continue with what I asked you", Kakashi shouted before Yennefer could, go towards him he knew that she would go towards him as soon as she got over the initial shock.

He had to avoid this, Kakashi took advantage of the chances the clones gave him and began to gather chakra for his jutsu.

He based his combination of techniques on a skill formation that some groups of Anbus used, the techniques were similar even though different jutsus were used, the Anbus formation used a summoning, a fire jutsu and a mud jutsu, and the group would have to have extreme cooperation.

The technique could only be used by a well-coordinated group, or by someone who could use several elements.

Few ninjas in the world had Kakashi's talent, who could use jutsus from all five elements, so this formation would be very difficult to use normally, and Kakashi never thought of using this combination on any other occasion, there were simpler ways to kill.

This technique is only effective in those cases where killing would be extremely difficult and the possibility of escape was zero.

Cutting off the vampire's head, arms and legs, Kakashi left him unable to defend himself or escape his next attack, so the first step of his technique was used, one of the clones used the technique.

Earth Style Barrier: Earth Dome Prison, trapping the vampire in a small low barrier, limiting the space where he was confined.

Kakashi continued his technique when he used, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, inside the small dome that the vampire was trapped in.

Refining and controlling his chakra, to intensify the temperature and destructive power of his technique, Kakashi focused more on constancy to keep the jutsu active, taking advantage of the small size of the dome, his objective was to make these flames even more powerful.

Kakashi's second clone didn't stand still, he continued with the plan, starting to do the hand positions he used the third jutsu to complete the technique that Kakashi learned, using the Wind Style: Harmful Pressure, with the combination of his attacks, Kakashi aimed to create a large furnace, capable of completely destroying the vampire's body.

Kakashi wanted to completely cremate the vampire's body.

The skin, flesh and any organic material that the vampire had on his body was melting and turning to dust, the temperature that Kakashi's technique reached was something absurd, realizing that he was achieving his objective, Kakashi increased the chakra output to the your technique.

Using his power as much as he could, Kakashi began to feel the side effects on his body.

The pain was increasing, the bleeding in his back wouldn't stop and the pressure in his head increased absurdly, his head started to hurt.

Some parts of the vampire's body were reduced to ashes, but that wasn't enough Kakashi wanted to reduce his entire being to nothing, he feared that the vampire could regenerate even when only his charred bones remained, so he wanted to make the creature turn to dust, even if to do so he had to exhaust his chakra, but unlike his objective, his jutsu, even with the help of his clone's technique, did not have all that power.

He began to feel his vision becoming blurred, he realized that he wouldn't have enough chakra to accomplish this feat, he would faint before he could turn the vampire into dust.

When Kakashi felt that his chakra was running out, and realized that even if he put all the rest of his chakra into this technique, the possibility of reducing the vampire's entire body to ash was very small, so he stopped his jutsu.

He also realized that he would not have enough chakra to use his Kamui and he knew that he only had one alternative which would be quite risky, since he still did not control natural energy well.

Realizing the pros and cons of using this, Kakashi decided to take the risk, he trusted that no matter what side effects he had, Yennefer would find a way to help him.

Kakashi didn't know exactly if the vampire was dead or alive, but he wouldn't make the mistake of underestimating his opponent's abilities.

He believed that even for an immortal it would be impossible to survive this, but he had seen the vampire manage to regenerate from impossible injuries before, so he wouldn't let his guard down.

Gathering the energy of the natural elements in his body, Kakashi was transforming them into chakra so he could use it, it was a slow and painful process.

The elemental energy that he couldn't control well was causing his wounds to worsen, his organs felt like they were going to explode from the amount of energy.

Pain was something Kakashi was feeling throughout his body, but he had to stay focused, losing control of his energy in this physical state would be deadly for him.

After the technique ended, his jutsus were undone, the clones disappeared due to excessive use of their chakra, the stone dome that his clone created began to crumble, and showed what was left of the vampire's body.

All that was left was an incomplete skeleton that was completely charred, black bones, that was all that was left of the creature.

Even though he doubted that the vampire could regenerate after being in this state, Kakashi would not let his guard down, he would only be comfortable when he was informed that they passed the test.

After gathering enough elemental energy to use his technique, Kakashi focused on transforming the elemental energy into chakra.

Kakashi began to direct chakra towards his Sharingan, physical and chakra exhaustion was affecting the time it would take for him to use his Kamui, his body had been greatly damaged by the elemental energy, Kakashi still did not have enough control over it to to use correctly.

He didn't want to risk sending Yennefer to finish off what was left of the vampire's body, because he knew that even if she gave everything, it wouldn't be enough to erase all traces of him.

Yennefer had her role to play in Kakashi's next action, so she would have to be prepared to hold the vampire for a while if he needed to, in order to complete his technique.

Kakashi would then have to endure the pain he was feeling in order to survive this battle.

Observing that situation, and noticing the state of the creature's body, Yennefer was still unable to relax, she believed that the vampire would still recover, the vampire had demonstrated a regeneration capacity that made no sense, since he had more than half of his exploded body and still managed to recover.

She believed that this amount of damage was still not enough to end the vampire's existence.

Her hopes were decimated during the battle against the vampire, the only thing that made her keep trying was Kakashi's trust, no matter the situation he didn't lose hope and always found a new way to face the vampire, Kakashi did everything he could and he was already showing signs of tiredness, but even in that situation he conveyed confidence.

Yennefer didn't know where so much confidence came from, but she decided to trust him, 'I can't let myself be discouraged, I have to trust Kakashi, he's already shown me some miracles, and as he himself said, it's not the first time he's faced a being immortal'.

Her haggard face regained its expression of confidence she was still looking at that small back with claw marks, which looked like it could support the weight of the world if necessary, Yennefer was already prepared to use her spell she was just waiting for Kakashi's order.

While controlling his chakra, Kakashi observed the changes in the vampire's bones, at first they were small changes like the bones returning to their original color, and recovering from their cracks but the recovery process was accelerating, the lost bones were reappearing, and signs of flesh were already present on some of their bones.

Observing the pace of his body's recovery, Kakashi believed he had less than 2 minutes to gather his chakra, and also knew that there was no way to stop the vampire's body from recovering.

Kakashi knew he would need 4 minutes to be able to use the chakra needed for his Kamui, and this was due to the level of damage and exhaustion his body was in, "Yen, when I give the signal you use your technique", Kakashi knew that the moment the vampire recovered, he would be the target, as the vampire always focused on the last target that attacked him.

They both knew they couldn't make a mistake, this could be their last chance to get out of this situation alive, Yennefer still didn't know what Kakashi was planning, but she was putting all her hope in him.

With the vampire's body almost completely recovered, Kakashi didn't want to take any chances and put himself in danger, "Now", with his order something invisible seemed to be pulling the vampire's body down, thus limiting his movements.

The vampire was fighting with all his strength, but he couldn't get out of the prison that Yennefer created.

Observing the elemental energy that was being used in Yennefer's spell, Kakashi saw a strange mixture of elements—elements that would be equivalent to Lightning and Douton. Kakashi knew that spells here weren't categorized that way, but that was the way he understood.

Kakashi also discovered that that spell was consuming a lot of Yennefer's energy, and she wouldn't be able to maintain that spell for long, especially in her current physical state, Kakashi was worried about her, but even so he didn't take his eyes off the creature.

"Yen, can you maintain your spell for 2 minutes?"

Yennefer began to calculate how long she could last using this spell, at this rate she discovered that it wouldn't last more than a minute, maybe even less, she wasn't sure how long exactly it could last.

"I can last two minutes, don't worry Kakashi", Yennefer knew this would be difficult but if Kakashi needed two minutes, she would get those two minutes for him.

The more time passed, the more Kakashi noticed Yennefer's strangeness, sweat ran down her face, the color slowly disappeared from her body and her skin became pale, he knew that she was trying very hard to maintain her spell, which was restraining the vampire.

He knew that Yennefer wouldn't be able to hold off the vampire for much longer, but luckily she wouldn't have to hold on much longer, Kakashi had almost the necessary chakra gathered, she wouldn't need to struggle much longer.

After two minutes since the start of Yennefer's spell.

Kakashi was prepared, he finally managed to gather the necessary chakra to use her technique, his Sharingan began to rotate and change shape, becoming a Magenkyo.

Focusing his gaze on the vampire who still couldn't move, Kakashi felt the blood in his head heat up again, an agonizing pain took over his head, he was already used to using his Kamui and the pain that this technique caused him didn't affect him. it. more, but this time the pain increased a lot.

Feeling a pain unlike anything he had ever felt, Kakashi fell to his knees and almost passed out, but managed to hold on, Kakashi knew that if he passed out, he and Yennefer would die at the vampire's hands.

His head was getting heavy, his vision became blurry and he could no longer see the vampire properly, Kakashi was feeling as if his left eye was on fire, weakness took over his body, but even with all this, he held on.

The wounds that were already accumulating on his body were hurting.

He felt as if his body was starting to give in to the pain, he was already on his knees with his hands on his head, veins were appearing on his neck and face, blood was coming out of his nose, Kakashi felt like his head was about to explode.

The pressure that his head veins sustained was something unusual, that abnormal movement and temperature of his blood would kill any other normal human being, but Kakashi was resisting, he couldn't give in to the pain.

Yennefer was very worried when observing that situation, everything happened suddenly, Kakashi simply fell to the ground while holding his head, he seemed to be in a lot of pain, this was the first time that Yennefer saw a genuine groan of pain from Kakashi.

He wasn't holding back, the pain was apparent in his moans.

Her heart sank, and the worst thing was that she couldn't do anything to help him, Yennefer was already doing her best to arrest the vampire, her helplessness in the face of this whole situation left her depressed, this was the first time in decades that she felt so useless.

What was the point of all this power and knowledge of hers, if when a person she liked suffered in front of her, but she couldn't do anything to help, even if her physical condition wasn't good either, she wanted to be able to do something for Kakashi .

She was noticing the signs of mental fatigue caused by the excessive use of spells, her head was throbbing, blood was pouring from her nose and she felt like she was going to pass out soon, so she focused her gaze on Kakashi, Yennefer knew that when she passed out, that would be the end. end of both, and she wanted the last thing she saw to be the only person who cared about her.

Yennefer wanted to die seeing the only person who was important to her.

Even when he felt all this pain, Kakashi didn't take his goal out of his head, he knew he would have to overcome this pain, Kakashi didn't give up, he fought against everything he was feeling, getting up with difficulty, he was moving the rest of his chakra through your body.

Using only his own willpower he managed to resist his pain, and began to recover and refocus his vision on the creature in front of him, Kakashi struggled to initiate his technique.

The space around the vampire was distorted, but the pain in Kakashi's head and eyes increased, blood ran out of his left eye, his body felt heavy and air was missing from his lungs.

Kakashi felt an overwhelming urge to surrender to his fate and give up.

Biting his lip until it bled, Kakashi fought not to lose consciousness, his student Naruto taught him that he couldn't give up.

He couldn't die before he managed to defeat the vampire, Kakashi had to save Yennefer's life, he then resisted the pain and used everything he had to complete his technique.

A vortex began to slowly suck in the vampire's body, and he fought against being sucked in with everything he had, but his struggle was futile.

His body was completely sucked away and nothing more of his existence remained in that place.

Kakashi seeing that finally relaxed, it was a harder fight than he expected.
