Chapter 22
[3rd Person POV]
It was the dead of night, silence permeating most households in Konoha. Kakashi slept in his bedroom, yet his mood seemed agitated as he tightened his eyes even further and shuffled on the bed as if he was struggling in his dream.
As he was deep in his REM sleep, his eyes were rapidly moving underneath his eyelids. His brain tried to decipher the signals being sent by its nerve cells as he dreamt, however, it was evident that something else was interfering with his dreams.
He was running through a dense bamboo forest that seemed to have no end in sight.
He couldn't run forever
So he stopped.
He turned back to face his pursuer as the individual in question floated in front of him.
With white hair and red eyes, the childish figure covered in bandages slowly floated downwards. "It has been a long time, Kakashi Hatake." As he said this, his body suddenly transformed into a more adult version of himself and he took a step closer to Kakashi.
Eyes wide, Kakashi took a half-step back and looked up at the individual. "You're…Hiruko!"
The now adult version of Hiruko slowly approached Kakashi and placed a palm on his forehead before a smile formed on his lips.
The white-haired Konoha jonin hurriedly took a few steps back.
However, it was too late.
His single sharingan active, a red seal glowed on Kakashi's forehead in the appearance of an eye with another circle inside of it resembling a pupil. It had four lines stemming from the upper line of the eye and two big thick lines stemming from the side of the eye.
As soon as that was complete, Hiruko smiled once before slowly fading away…
Kakashi slowly sat up from his sleeping position as the seal on his forehead glowed in an eerie crimson light before slowly fading away. Soon after, his eyes glowed red as he sat there, dazed and out of focus as the sun slowly began to rise.
-Yoru: Gamer-
[Yoru's POV]
You have slept in your bed.
HP & CP are fully stored!
All Negative Status conditions have been removed!
Happy Birthday!
Hm, I was finally 11 years old. Not that it really meant anything.
That aside.
"Ohh thankfully that actually worked…"
I had never actually been poisoned so severely before…well, except for that time my teacher kidnapped me and convinced me to join Root…
I hadn't gotten my Toxin Resistance then though so it didn't count.
Anywho, I had been gambling that my body would fix itself after sleeping. If it didn't, I would just go to Tsunade and have her make a cure. It wasn't like I'd suffer much without my chakra anyway since my body was decently strong on its own.
In any case.
"Mouse, why are you at my house at 6:00 in the morning?"
Said individual simply gave me handseals from outside the window. "Hokage requires your presence."
I sighed.
I never get a break, do I?
As for why Mouse was outside, my house was layered with seals as a precaution. Only a handful of people had access to my little apartment such as Kushina, my adorable Mito, Minato, and obviously my teacher.
And maybe Itachi…
And possibly Rin…
And probably Kakashi…
Then there was also Obito who was no longer here…
I gave Mouse a hand signal, "I'll be there in a moment."
He nodded and vanished.
With that, I quickly washed myself off with some water collected from the air and put on my Henge clothes before heading out of my house.
Hopping over some houses eventually landed me in front of the Hokage's building which I promptly entered before walking up to Minato's job office.
Since he was expecting me, I didn't bother knocking on the door and simply opened it and walked in. I looked around for a moment to see Minato, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Kakashi.
"You're here." Minato stated with a smile as I entered the room.
I nodded.
"In that case, I'll explain why you're all here." The blonde Hokage continued before looking at Kakashi and sighing. "This morning, I got confirmation on what Hiruko's fifth Kekkei Genkai would be."
No one here was stupid.
From the simple look Minato had given Kakashi, it was clear that the object of desire was his Sharingan. That, however, begged the question-
"Why would he go after Kakashi? Why not target an Uchiha with an already developed sharingan?" Orochimaru asked in interest.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Kakashi subconsciously touch his left eye as Minato replied. "I can only assume that he didn't want to target someone too difficult for him. This is also under the assumption that he only needs one eyeball of the activated sharingan. Based on his actions, I'm assuming this is the case."
"This is quite problematic…" Jiraiya stated in thought. "The Uchiha won't be too happy if their eyes are taken, especially by an outsider."
"And that's why you are all here." Minato stated.
We all perked up.
The Fourth Hokage looked at Orochimaru. "I assume you've completed it by now?"
He smiled widely, "Of course." With that said, he took out a scroll and unfurled it before in a puff, a glass cylinder filled with viscous green liquid appeared. "All you will need to do is have him absorb this the instant he tries to absorb you." Orochimaru explained as he looked at Kakashi. "The containment tank will burst on command and release the fluid inside. It will then destabilize his body's composition causing his cellular structures to degrade."
Kakashi's eyes widened.
Jiraiya raised a brow, "That's quite intense…and just a little gross."
Orochimaru smirked proudly at that fact.
Though, I got this feeling that he was subtly looking my way again…
"Regardless, we have a way of beating him. We need to hurry before the other villages try to put more pressure on us. The Daimyo's of the Five Great Nations has given Konoha an ultimatum: Get rid of Hiruko." Minato declared before glancing at Jiraiya. "I would like for you to help keep watch over our Iwa, Kumo, and Kiri borders with your extensive network, Sensei. Collaborate with Shikaku Nara on the positioning of our troops if necessary."
The white-haired Sannin smiled. "You can leave it to me. Though, I don't think you'll have to worry too much." He said while looking at me and Kakashi. "The younger generations always seem to be more splendid than the older."
Minato smiled, "That may be true, but I want to be safe." That said, he finally addressed my role in this. "Yoru, I want you to watch over Kakashi while this is happening."
I furrowed my brows. "What exactly is the plan?"
"…Hiruko cast a Puppet Master Jutsu Formula on me sometime in the recent past." Kakashi began to explain. "I'll let myself become susceptible to his control and just as he is about to absorb me, you will attack him with that." He finished, pointing to the see-through cylinder.
"That's risky." I stated. "Something like this can easily screw up. What if you are caught in the blast zone after the contents are released?"
Kakashi picked up the cylinder and walked up to me before placing it in my hands. He looked me in the eyes, "I trust you and your skill which is why I recommended your help in particular "
My eyes widened.
With that, Kakashi left it there as I paused for a moment to ruminate over his words. I sighed, "…I'll do my best to not disappoint the faith you placed in me."
Kakashi nodded.
"Then it's settled." Minato stated. "I only kept it between us 5 in order to prevent any sort of information from leaking ahead of time. With this, you all are dismissed."
Quest Alert!

-Yoru: Gamer-
"You ready?" I asked Kakashi as we stood a great distance away from Konoha.
He nodded his head before closing his eyes.
In but a moment, his head slumped.
Like a mindless drone, his body slowly positioned itself upward, allowing me to see the Puppet Curse Mark on his head.
His eyes glowing red, Kakashi turned around and rapidly made his way to the distance. I immediately followed him and rushed through the trees while simultaneously keeping myself on guard.
The surroundings became a blur as we moved through the densely packed forests of Konoha, landscapes constantly changing due to the speed of our motion. It wasn't until about a minute afterward that the landscapes drastically changed once more.
Gone were the vibrant green trees that made up the lush forests and instead, rocky soil and mountainous regions became more prevalent in my vision.
Before long, grass became barely visible in my view as only mountains of stone were in sight indicating my arrival on the Village Hidden in Stones's soil.
The Village Hidden in Stone (Ishigakure) was not to be confused with the Hidden Stone Village (Iwagakure). As for why they had such similar names that drove many to confusion, no one new…
"And Mt. Shumisen…"
As we were now in the Kōrin mountain range, I could finally see the large mountain that greatly protruded from the earth in the distance.
I looked down at Kakashi who was still possessed by the enemy's technique before looking ahead. There I saw a large open gate in front of me in the middle of the wide path that we were taking towards the mountain.
In little time, Kakashi ran through the open gate and I quickly moved to follow him-
"!"
I hastily jumped back as little feathers around the gateway lit up before detonating. The wind force generated from the blast pushed me further back and I skidded across the dirt path.
In the same instance, a chakra signature finally came into my range from above causing me to immediately turn my gaze upwards. It was there that I saw a large bird-like creature that had an orange face, green feathers, and white skin. It had a very large wingspan which had distinctive markings that combined near the middle and also had two jet-like pistons near the end of its body, with two tails attached.
"That looks troublesome…"
I thought as the bird monster screeched and rained down feathers at me. In but a moment they began to glow as they all surrounded me.
"I'm not dealing with this."
ID Create: Empty
The sky turned red
The surroundings became silent
And more importantly,
The feathers disappeared.
With seemingly nothing to distract me in my own personal dimension, I made my way forward-
Ping!

I blinked.
And blinked again.
"Neat…"
I figured that I might as well check it out for a moment since the Solar eclipse necessary for Hiruko's technique would not occur for a little while longer.
"ID Create: Personal."
Immediately, spacetime seemed to warp before the scenery abruptly changed.
Gone were the red sun and skies and in its place was a world of pure white. I looked around, noting that floating around this empty room of white were white and transparent cuboid structures. They simply hung in the air and I could see some up above as well.
"Interesting." I thought, but seeing as there wasn't really anything unique about it I made to leave and continue on with my mission-
"ARRRGH!"
A roar filled with a multitude of emotions sounded from the distance that was barely inside my chakra detection range. I could sense the power of the creature and knew that it was definitely not human. Just as I was about to simply take my chances with the bird, I furrowed my brows as I realized that this chakra signature was familiar…
And then, it hit me.
My expression turned strange.
"I WILL KILL YOU!"
Anger and hatred were the primary emotions I felt emanating from the owner of the gigantic chakra signature as it approached me so quickly that I didn't even get a chance to blink as the beast appeared in front of me.
It was a gigantic red monkey with 4 tails.
The 4-Tailed Bijuu.
With a giant leap, the 4-tails launched itself into the air before landing in front of me. The impact of its large body on the ground caused a large shockwave that caused a large gust of wind to pick up.

We looked at each other.
Well, it was more like I was looking at him while he was frothing at the mouth and glaring at me.
It was quite unsettling.
"…I suppose it's a little too late to apologize?"
"GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T KILL YOU FOR TRAPPING ME IN THIS GODFORSAKEN PLACE!" The monkey said, raising its arms high in the air.
"Because if you do…" I began. "You will most likely be trapped here forever."
It paused before it slammed his fists on either side of me, deep cracks spreading throughout from his rage. The ground underneath me gave way while the cracks traveled to the distance. The monkey lowered itself to my gaze and exhaled a breath of air from its nose, the resulting winds forcing me to close one eye and raise my arms in defense. "AND WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU?"
"Roshi died in my personal dimension." I stated. "And while I had no idea Bijuu could survive after their host died, it looks like you were automatically transported here when he did. I didn't have access to this place until just a moment ago, but it is mine. It stands to reason that if I die, this dimension will either collapse and you'll be lost in a dark void of nothingness or, more likely, no one will ever have access to this place and you will stay here forever."
It paused at that statement, its eyes searching me for any traces of deceit.
Its brows furrowed. "HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN HERE?"
Well, I killed Roshi when I was 9, so…
"…2 years."
"2 YEARS!?" It roared, the resulting shockwave blowing my body away and the surrounding floating cuboid structures that littered the air. It didn't matter to the Four-Tails, however, as it glared at me. "TAKE ME OUT THIS INSTANT! OR I won't MIND SPENDING THE REST OF MY IMMORTAL LIVE IN THIS VOID WITH YOUR CORPSE!"
I picked myself up and idly noticed that the floating cuboids were floating back towards their original position before I dusted myself off. "…How do I know you simply won't kill me after we leave?"
The monkey sneered. "UNLIKE YOU HUMANS, I NEVER BREAK MY WORD! IF YOU WON'T BELIEVE ME, THEN YOU WILL DIE. THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU."
From the emotions I could detect, I knew that the monkey had immense pride and was definitely not lying. I didn't, however, want to simply let the Four-Tails go without at least getting something "…That's fine, but I would at the very least like to ask you to help me with-"
"NO!" It snarled. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASK ANYTHING OF ME!"
I furrowed my brows. "It will be inconsequential to you and will only require as much effort as it takes to flick your finger."
There was a grimace on its face, however, it considered for a moment before its tone lowered. "Tell me."
So, I did.
He snickered. "That's it? It really is that simple…"
"I'm not unreasonable. I said it would be that simple and I meant it."
A snort escaped the Four-Tail's lips as he replied. "You humans are all so deceitful. If he is more than I bargained for, I'll simply leave after completing my end of the deal."
I nodded my head. "Fair."
Then, I raised my hand.
ID Create: Empty.
A formless bubble encompassed me and turned the surroundings into a mirror image of the outside world-
"Finally! How I miss the green grass, the red sun, and the crimson sky…HEY! WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?!"
"He's still here…?!" I thought to myself. I hadn't been in contact with him when we left so why had he appeared with me in my Empty ID? Was it because we had come here from my Personal ID so it had just dragged whatever was next to me?
The Monkey looked around before its gaze narrowed as it turned towards me. "Human! If you dared to trick me…!"
Accelerated Analysis quickly allowed me to come up with an excuse for my current predicament. "This is an empty world that mirrors the real one. I wanted to avoid any hassles on our way since the enemy has some troublesome minions under it. We can simply travel to our destination while I'm here and avoid all issues. When we exit this mirror world, we will appear in the same position in the real world."
Ping!
Lie…partially successful?
Son narrowed his eyes, "Fine, but I don't trust you." Before I could react, I found myself in the grip of the ape who was staring at me harshly. "You humans are all so slippery, so tell me where you want to go and I'll go there."
I nodded and told him where we had to go.
I had thought to simply ditch the monkey inside the Personal ID and deal with it when I was stronger, but who would have thought this would happen?
"Is this what they call being a victim of one's own ingenuity…?"
"By the way, what's your name?" I asked, trying to break the somewhat tense atmosphere between us.
I could feel how startled it was from the question. "I'm surprised that you know that we even have names or that you care."
"I don't. I was just curious. It doesn't really matter if you say it or not."
It narrowed its eyes before grinning. "I am the Handsome Monkey King of the Water Screen Cave; the King of the Sage Monkeys, bestowed with the Dharma name of Son by the Sage of Six Paths. I am Son Gokū, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!"
"Sage of Six Paths…" I thought while furrowing my brows. "Given to him by the Sage of Six Paths? The guy must be powerful if this monkey respects him…or girl, can't be sexist and all that."
"…Neat."
Son snickered. "You humans…don't even appreciate the kindness and generosity bestowed upon you by the Sage. Using his gifts for meaningless trifles such as war…Pathetic."
"…"
I didn't know how I felt about being looked down by an overgrown ape.
I shook those thoughts out of the way and focused on the approaching mountain ahead. Based on evidence gathered from the technique, Hiruko needed three requirements to perfect it and seemingly become immortal: Earth, Heaven, and Human. "Earth" was the mountain itself, "Heaven" was the solar eclipse, and "Human" was the 5 human sacrifices. Since this mountain would be right along the path of the Solar Eclipse, it was the perfect set-up for him.
Along with those thoughts, We finally arrived at Hiruko's fortress in my ID. I immediately noted the large castle that was built on the mountain summit in addition to the walls surrounding it. In front of the castle was the only visible entry point which was a large metal gate.
"It seems like I'm here…"
"This is where we'll get off." I said.
Son brought his fist closer to his face. "I'm not letting you go until I see the clear blue skies again. Now, do it."
With a mental tsk, I raised my hand.
ID Escape
The dimension cracked before splitting apart like glass allowing the natural blue sky and-
"Oh, right there's about to be a solar eclipse…"
I thought as the moon began to move over and cover the sun, casting a shadow over the land.
He grinned in ecstasy. "HAHA FINALLY! THIS ONE IS THE HAPPIEST APE IN THE WORLD! HAHAHA!" It then beat its chest with its fists and howled in joy. Unfortunately for me, I was still located in his grasp so every time he banged against his chest, my brain was rattled and I felt dizzy.
"…Can you not?"
"HAHAHA!" He laughed to himself before simply tossing me away.
I flipped in mid-air and softly landed on the ground before focusing on the matter at hand. I could sense Kakashi's chakra signature behind the metal gates of the palace and knew that I didn't have much time.
I looked at the ape, "I'm going to go inside and do my thing. Just wait for a little for my signal."
"Don't tell me what to do." Son sneered before he leaped to the sky and disappeared behind the mountains.
I blinked before realizing that he hadn't ditched me and was just hiding behind the palace.
"At least he's earnest…"
And so, without further ado, I entered my ID. Since whatever actions I did in here would not be replicated on the outside world, I obliterating the iron gate barring me from my destination. After entering said gate, I finally exiting the ID.
I was not prepared for what I was about to see next.
"Yes, Kakashi! Come inside me and give me your sharingan hahaha!" Hiruko yelled in glee as the lower half of his body began to exude a large mass of deep blue, viscous fluid that covered the surrounding area. The fluid formed into tentacles which wrapped around 4 of the 5 individuals around him who were all tied up on crosses.
I contemplated saving them for a moment, but then a different idea formed in my mind…
I watched as they dissolved into a gooey substance that was then absorbed into Hiruko. He looked up to the open peak of Mt. Shumisen which gave him a perfect view of the solar eclipse. "Once you've become a part of me, I will be immortal!" He yelled as his tentacles wriggled and squirmed as they wrapped around Kakashi's legs and arms before they began to drag him into Hiruko's liquidated lower half.
I was stunned.
"This reminds me of one of those scenes in that adult book Jiraiya gave me…"
I furrowed my brows and shook my head as I quickly dispelled those weird thoughts. "Now's not the time. I can't watch as Kakashi gets anally raped by a slime tentacle monster who's also a dude…I will not allow tentacle Yaoi."
And with those thoughts that highlighted the full extent of humanity's capacity for intelligent thought, I took out the large tube of creepy green liquid I had been given by Orochimaru and threw it. As he had been reveling in the pleasure of almost completing his goal (In addition to the fact that his entire lower half had been converted into a giant, slime like, liquidus agglomeration), Hiruko failed to escape from the vat of suspicious fluid that landed directly into his viscid lower body.
It was only then that he stopped laughing and looked at me in surprise and fury. "What do you think you are doing?! How were you able to get past my chimeric beasts and inside my castle?!"
I ignored him.
"Explode."
The tube of liquid Orochimaru had given me exploded inside Hiruko and released its load all over his insides-
I pinched the bridge of my nose "I need help…"
"N-NO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!" Hiruko yelled as his lowers body began to bulge, contract, and expand at weird intervals. Next, bubbles began to form all over his liquidated lower half-
Before it burst.
Large volumes of suspicious fluid escaped from Hiruko and filled up the room. I, however, would not allow such disgusting liquid to touch my skin and used my water manipulation to split the sea of Hiruko's fluids.
"T-THIS CAN'T BE! I SHOULD BE THE ULTIMATE IMMORTAL SHINOBI! AHHH!" He screamed as he plopped into the lake of his fluids in anger.
I felt around for Kakashi's chakra signature before I manipulated the watery fluid and floated his corpse over to me. Next, I removed the liquid from his person and hoisted him on my shoulder before looking behind me at the locked large metal door.
As I didn't like the way it was blocking my path, I kicked it.
The gates flew into the distance and as if a dam had burst, the fluid in the room rushed out of the new opening. Of course, I continued to make sure I didn't let a single drop of it on me.
"…Wakey." I said as I began to poke Kakashi's cheeks after having walked out of the mountain's interior where Hiruko had built that room.
Kakashi's eyes trembled before they opened and he looked at me. "…Did we get him?"
"It's not completely over yet." I said as I healed Kakashi and sat him up.
His complexion became better and his back straightened as he looked into the cave with a serious glint in his eyes. "…He's coming."
"KAKASHI!" Hiruko yelled before an immense spike of energy erupted from inside the palace. A red beam shot out from the ceiling of the building and reached to the clouds before spreading them apart. The earth trembled and the ground fractured as the energy tore the surroundings…
Before it burst.
A hurricane of wind was generated as the energy obliterated Hiruko's hideout, causing dust and debris to spread all around.
Kakashi covered his eyes in order to protect them while I waved my hand and used my Wind Manipulation to dispel the dust cloud and powerful winds.
In front of us, Hiruko softly floated to the ground before eyeing Kakashi like a sack of meat. "Wait, my friend, Kakashi!" He said as he slowly walked towards us with a bright smile. "It's not over yet! The solar eclipse is still here! You can still become a part of me!"

I looked at him then I turned my gaze to Kakashi and warned him, "If he gets his hands on you, I recommend you clench your ass as tight as you can."
For some reason, he gave me the strangest look.
"KUCHIYOSE!" Hiruko yelled after dipping his finger in his own blood and slamming his palm on the ground. As soon as the summoning inscriptions finished spreading, a puff of smoke obscured our view for a moment before multiple large chakra signatures appeared.
It was only when the smoke cleared that I saw that Hiruko had summoned a variety of Chimera beasts and even that damned bird was among them.
Good thing I had a plan to get rid of it and Hiruko.
"Son, now would be a good time to show yourself."
"Hmph." The ape snorted as he appeared from above, his body growing larger and larger in our view before he slammed into the ground. The earth caved beneath his immense weight while dust and debris picked up from his landing.
Hiruko froze, "T-This…!"
Kakashi's eyes widened, "Is that the 4-Tails?"
"CALL ME SON GOKU!" The ape roared in annoyance. "I HATE IT WHEN YOU HUMANS CALL ME BY THE NUMBER OF MY TAILS! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I CALLED YOU PINK-EYE WITH WHITE HAIR HUH?!"
Kakashi stuttered unresponsively.
"I get your point, but we have more important issues." I said as I pointed to Hiruko and his motley crew of monstrosities. "Get rid of them please."
The ape snorted. "Fine. After this, I can't wait to never see you again!"
Hiruko backed up in a panic "W-Wait! I was supposed to be a perfect immortal and complete ninja!"
Son rolled his eyes and flicked his finger in Hiruko's direction.
That was it.
His simple action sounded like millions of paper bombs had gone off at the same time. The sheer wind pressure from his attack immediately shredded up all of Hiruko's summons and I was only able to glimpse at Hiruko's despaired face before my view was blocked by the dust that picked up.
The attack traveled the distance and destroyed multiple mountain peaks along the way before its kinetic energy was finally exhausted.
"I'm done with my end of the deal! Goodbye!"
Before I could even say anything, the monkey leaped from his position and picked up a surge of wind from his launch before his form disappeared into the clouds.
Kakashi watched him disappear into the clouds, "So this is the strength of a tailed beast…"
"Don't worry about that. Focus ahead." I said. "Somehow, that thing is still alive. Almost like he's a cockroach."
"I-It's not over yet!" Hiruko yelled as the dust began to settle "As long as you merge with me Kakashi, we'll become matchless! Immortal!"
[Hiruko]
HP: 48685/750000
I raised a brow. "How exactly did you survive that?"
I only heard a chuckle in reply before the dust finally cleared and in front of me appeared a Hiruko whose entire skin was covered in a black metallic luster. "Haha! I still have 4 of my 5 kekkei genkai!"
He clapped his hands together as a pillar of red chakra erupted from his body before he began to generate black storm clouds that flickered with electricity. They swarmed around him before traveling up to the sky and mixing with the cumulus clouds already present in the atmosphere. "My Storm Release will cover the nation in darkness!"
I frowned. "What type of bullshit storm release is this? My storm release only lets me shoot laser beams while he actually generates storm clouds…"
I call hax.
"Kakashi, we must defeat this hacker before he glitches Mud Style into Wood Release." I said
"…"
Kakashi simply nodded in reply.
Then.
We moved.
We rapidly dashed towards our opponent who received us with a grin.
I reached him first and leveled a punch towards his midsection which he deftly deflected with the back of his hand before he jabbed at me. I blocked him, using my free hand augmented with chakra to slam into his face.
He ducked under my blow.
I raised my knee, intent on caving his lowered face in.
Hiruko merely raised his hands protectively and when I impacted them, I felt like I was hitting metal.
The force of the attack launched him back which was when Kakashi zoomed behind him and attacked. Hiruko was quick to maneuver around and block the impact from behind with his elbow before engaging in hand to hand combat with Kakashi. Their blows were well calculated and precise while their feet shifted and pivoted with each attack as they reacted to each other.
As their hands and feet blurred in combat, I appeared behind Hiruko.
Deconstructive Analysis displayed his weaknesses.
I gathered chakra to my fingertips.
"Let's hope the Hyuga don't file for copyright…"
My fingers jammed the weak points visible in Hiruko's arm causing it to slack for a moment.
"You…!" He said as he turned towards me.
At that instant, Kakashi swept his feet from under him.
As time slowed down in my vision, I immediately raised my leg and kicked Hiruko up high into the sky. His face contorted in pain and he coughed up a glob of blood before he screamed
Kakashi and I exchanged a look.
Gabbing his leg, I spun and threw Kakashi up at a higher velocity than Hiruko's ascent. Kakashi passed Hiruko by and reached his apex in the air with his leg raised.
And brought it down.
Hiruko was slammed downwards towards me at immense speeds. I placed my right foot back and just as he reached chest level with me, I rammed my knee into his face causing it to distort with a crack as he flew into the distance.
Kakashi fell to the ground and puffed into a Fuma Shuriken. I grabbed onto the center of the Shuriken and twirled it in my palms before rapidly throwing it at Hiruko's form. The man recovered quickly and just before it pierced his heart, his chest gave off a metallic luster. The large Shuriken bounced off of him with a metallic ring and in my view, time slowed down as it flipped in the air from the rebound.
Amenotokotachi
I appeared right in front of him, a Rasengan fully formed in my hand and aimed at his face.
Hiruko grinned and stretched out his palm which had a mark resembling two diamonds, one overlapping the other. In that instant, the energy from my Rasengan rapidly dwindled as it was sucked up by the markings on his open hands. "I'll give everything back to you!" Saying so, the diamond on his palm glowed once more before an immense burst of energy was released from it.
At such a close range it would usually be impossible for me to dodge, however, I quickly flicked a kunai in the air and used Amenotokotachi to replace myself with it.
Before it detonated.
I jumped back with a backflip and landed in a crouching position.
Suddenly, I was forced to tilt my head both ways in rapid succession in order to dodge the white ropes of bandages that had been aimed at my head. At the same instance, I threw three more metal projectiles in the smokescreen as I used my Energy Resonance to pinpoint Hiruko's position.
All I gained in reply was the sound of metal clashing against metal.
I subtlety twitched my fingers.
Hiruko suddenly shot out of the smoke towards me, using his bandages to catapult himself my way. His arm glistening with a black metallic sheen, he shot it forward at my face.
He may have been faster than me based on his stats, but with my Accelerated Analysis, I was easily able to read his moves and tilted my head, causing the fist to brush past my cheek. I leaned forward, right arm cocked before I quickly struck a weakness that I had seen with my Deconstructive Analysis.
He coughed as he took a step back before he quickly righted himself, took a step forward, and spun a kick aimed at my temple.
I lifted my arm up to guard, feeling his metal coated heel sink into my skin and crack my ulna in the process.
Hiruko smiled and used my arm as leverage to lift himself up and spin in mid-air before he lifted his leg high and brought it down in an ax kick above my head.
I quickly leaned back, his foot cratering the ground as it missed its mark.
And then, he blurred.
"That's Swift-!"
"!"
Ice Release: Crystal Walls!
A devastating crack sounded out behind me as my hastily put up ice defenses nearly shattered from Hiruko's attack. Before I could relax, his position rapidly changed as he attacked me from my right side, however, with my increased reaction speed, I was barely able to put up another Ice Release: Crystal Walls around me.
This time, it crumbled under the force and speed of Hiruko's blow, however, it was able to slow him down enough. Through my vision, the spots of his weaknesses were made clearly evident the moment he had broken through my Crystal Walls. I concentrated chakra to my fingertips and jabbed them forward rapidly towards the greatest weak spot of his that I could see.
His heart.
Having just finished breaking through my Crystal Walls, his momentum was still strong enough that he was unable to dodge in time and could only tank the attack with his body. Seeing my fatal attack, Hiruko twisted his body to the side causing my fingers to graze past his chest and make slight contact with his right shoulder.
Hiruko's velocity caused him to fly past me as he quickly controlled his balance and landed his feet in the ground before he slid to a stop. He looked at his left hand which was hanging limply by his side due to its blocked tenketsu and narrowed his eyes at me.
And vanished.
He appeared right in front of me, a wide grin on his face as he held a swirling ball of chakra on his right hand.
My eyes widened.
"Motherfu-!"
