Capítulo 53: Curtain closes
Hiroto and Itachi kept their guard up, slowly the dust cleared and the Raikage is revealed with lightning arcs around his body. Itachi knew what this meant so he activated his sharingan and kept two tomoe active in both of his eyes. Hiroto also knew it is the Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Running Jutsu: The famed jutsu of fourth Raikage, it surrounds the user's body with lightning chakra, increasing his speed and power, allowing him to move at incredibly fast speeds and deliver powerful attacks.
In a blur, the Raikage moved and only less than half of the shinobi watching the fight could follow and the majority of these people now have red eyes, and among them, only a handful can react to this attack. Hiroto also activated Swift release: Accelerate heightening his senses to a rate that won't put strain on his body. The Raikage arrived near them and used one of his signature jutsu Lightning Release: Lariat. Itachi made rapid hand signs while the speed is further boosted by the use of sharingan and substituted a shadow clone. The Raikage delivered a powerful punch enhanced with lightning chakra to Itachi seeing the Uchiha disappear he turned his attention to Hiroto and attacked him.
Hiroto dodged the attack thanks to his jutsu then attacked the other party with Adamantine attacking chains. This made the Raikage switch from offense to defense, after a few moments the fourth Raikage used Lightning Release Armor which nullified most of the damage. The Kumo kage thanks to his battle experience noticed a gap in the attacks but before he could capitalize on it Itachi joined with a few shadow clones.
Everyone who is watching the fight is captivated by the sight at that moment because of the synergy the three are showing and the fight is looking like a well-choreographed dance, Raikage finding in a flaw in Itachi's attack but before he could act on it Hiroto covering that flaw and similarly the case with when Hiroto is fighting and Itachi saving him. Many of the Kumo shinobi are in awe seeing the teamwork of Hiroto and Itachi which reminded them of the Kumo's greatest duo the fourth Raikage and his brother Killer Bee.
Raikage knew if this continued slowly the battle will shift in Konoha's favor, so he caught an adamantine chain, with his hand bleeding he pulled Hiroto toward him to give a punch. Hiroto who was caught off-guard quickly used Swift release: Slingshot jutsu using the momentum to his advantage and met the attack head-on. This resulted in a small shockwave and both their hands got numb because of it.
Hiroto moved away, giving Itachi a clear direction for an attack. Itachi used this chance wisely and made hand signs for Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique which as a result created a stream of fire that takes the shape of a phoenix. The phoenix flew at Raikage turning the leaves to cinders.
The Raikage used his injured hand and made the handsigns for Lightning Release: Thunderbolt Flash. This technique makes the Raikage use a massive amount of lightning chakra and release it in a single burst of energy. The resulting blast met Itachi's attack head-on and cause devastating damage to the surrounding area.
Itachi and Hiroto took a breather for a few seconds, Hiroto asked for a few more moments. Realizing he had to change his strategy, Itachi quickly performed a series of hand seals and created a large water dragon that charged at the Raikage. The Raikage responded with a blast of lightning that clashed with the water dragon, causing a massive explosion that sent both warriors flying back.
As they landed on the ground, panting, Itachi knew he had to keep the Raikage occupied for a few minutes. He charged at the Raikage with his kunai, but the Raikage grabbed his wrist and slammed him to the ground. Itachi struggled to get back up, but the Raikage held him down, ready to deliver the final blow and turn this fight one vs one.
Suddenly, Itachi's eyes glowed red turning to three tomoe, and the Raikage felt his body go numb as he fell to the ground. Itachi had activated his Sharingan's genjutsu, trapping the Raikage in an illusion that made him feel paralyzed.

Early morning 3
Shisui arrived with the ROOT Anbu to their meeting place, as soon as Shisui arrived he was left alone to wait for Danzo.
Sometime later Danzo arrived with his walking stick, "Uchiha Shisui, your clan is conspiring against Konoha".
"Danzo-sama how did you know this before Hokage-sama?" Shisui asked.
"I need to deal with the matters in shadows, Hizuren will only deal with them once they come to light and you know what will happen if this issue comes to light. So Hizuren tasked me to deal with this" Danzo said.
Shisui stayed silent for a few minutes thinking of the events that will follow the Uchiha coup and whether it is either successful or not, he is also thinking about Danzo's words about the Hokage leaving him in charge to deal with the Uchiha clan.
"If you doubt my words you can consult the Hokage even the council members will vouch for my words" Danzo said seeing through Shisui's thoughts.
Shisui thought about it for a few moments and seemed to agree with Danzo's words thinking that Hizuren's methods didn't work in the last few years, perhaps the professor thought Danzo's heavy-handed methods might curb the Uchiha clan's idea of a coup.
Shisui kneeled before Danzo as he does before the Hokage as a sign of paying his respect for the man and his plea. He said, "Danzo-sama, give me a chance I will use my Kotoamatsukami ability and wipe those thoughts from their minds".
"Uchiha Shisui, Hizuren informed about the limitations of that ability. We have no other way but to purge the adults and I will raise the kids in ROOT" Danzo declared.
"Danzo-sama give me a chance if it doesn't work we can move forward with your plan" Shisui pleaded with desperation.
Shisui looked at Danzo's face hoping for a change of plans but suddenly he felt pain, he looked down to see a hand coming from his abdomen, he turned around and was shocked to the core seeing the mangekyo sharingan of the white-masked one-eyed guy. Shisui turned around to see Danzo standing there without any surprise which confirmed his thoughts about them acting together.
Shisui wanted to use chakra but he couldn't, "You are poisoned with a special type of insect that makes the victim not able to use chakra properly" Danzo said answering his doubts and plucked his right eye.
Shisui's left eye slowly turned to the mangekyo pattern and formed a green ribcage around him. He watched on as the masked attacker disappeared in a spiral-like space jutsu, "You've proved to be Kagami's grandson" Danzo muttered then made a signal and a handful of ROOT Anbu attacked him.
Shisui's half-Susanoo gave him an upper hand temporarily, he managed to escape with a few breaths remaining. He escaped near the Naka river, he summoned a crow planting his left eye in it, and with instructions to deliver his left eye to Itachi. He felt his life fading away slowly so jumped into the river thus ending his life a few minutes before the time he should've died.
...
...
This gave Itachi the chance to escape from the Raikage's grasp, just as he escaped from the clutches of Kumo kage a loud boom is heard. Itachi watched in shock as the Raikage punched himself to escape from genjutsu and quite mercilessly to boot as his nose is bleeding because of the punch.
"Is that all?" Raikage declared and prepared for a Lightning Release: Thunder Binding followed by a large-scale attack, but he felt a katana coated with wind chakra on his throat. Raikage in shock looked at the Uzumaki who appeared behind him with a jutsu similar to his Lightning Release: Thunder Cloud Inner Wave but he is quick to notice while his jutsu is pure offense, Hiroto's jutsu is capable of both offense and defense.
Seeing this sight Raikage is reminded of another jutsu that he heard about, it's the result of a kekkai-genkai 'Storm release'. The fourth Raikage is also quick to notice that Hiroto appeared behind him 'The Fastest shinobi' without him noticing the only other one to do this is 'The Yellow Flash' Namikaze Minato the Hokage of his generation. "How did you know Storm release brat?" Raikage asked. "Kumo isn't the only village capable of using Storm Release" Hiroto said. "I admit defeat" Raikage announced as he knew what Minato's jutsu can do in a fight.
Hiroto removed the chakra-laced katana and put it back in his storage seal, he went toward Itachi supporting him as the sharingan user had to suffer to place the FTG mark on the Raikage. Konoha shinobi cheered and Kakashi congratulated those two, a few medic ninjas rushed to treat their injuries. Kakashi left them and ordered for a message to be sent to Konoha regarding the fight's outcome, he went toward the Kumo camp to deal with the signing of required documents concluding the matter. Sometime later both camps got ready to leave in the direction of their respective villages.
"Uzumaki Hiroto I hope one day we can spar and I would like to wait for that day" Raikage said looking at Hiroto he turned away and muttered "At least I pray for you to live a full life unlike your father and uncle", with that both villages left.
