Amid the chaos of the Konoha Crush, Shika raced as he surveyed the battlefield. Orochimaru's forces were everywhere, and he knew that someone dangerous like Kabuto was likely lurking in the shadows or fighting someone strong.
A thought came to his mind, how strong was Kabuto in early Naruto? They say that he is equal to Kakashi but he doubts it, but that doesn't mean that he would be on just a Chunin level.
Shame honestly, otherwise, he definitely would have gone after Kabuto right off the bat, his talent is really good, and that would have been the best.
It wasn't long before they picked up the trail. Shika followed them through all the fighting happening in his surroundings, his eyes sharp as he anticipated someone attack him suddenly, he was on his guard.
"Kabuto!" Shika called out, stepping forward with confidence.
Kabuto turned to face him, a smirk on his face. "Ah, Shika Kun, what a coincidence to meet you here like this. I didn't expect you to be this strong, you beat Uchiha Sasuke and even were able to run away from Mr Orochimaru's pursuit, I have to say that when you joined our team, I wasn't expecting that you were capable of something like that. But do you really think you can take me down?" Kabuto replied as he kicked the person he was fighting with right away. He was strong, Shika could tell that though he might be not as good as Kakashi he was strong.
'I gotta get him by surprise, there is no way... I can fight head-on with Shikigami's but that will take too much time.' Shika knew this and got ready.
Shika didn't waste time with words. He quickly formed hand seals "Let's see how you handle this." And just as he completed saying this a Shadow clone appeared with a buff of smoke. At the same time, he commanded the dogs.
Without hesitation, his divine dogs lunged at Kabuto. Shadow went for Kabuto's legs while Snow aimed for his throat. Kabuto dodged swiftly, avoiding their attacks with ease. But Shika wasn't done yet—using his Shadow Possession Jutsu, he extended his shadow toward Kabuto, hoping to lock him in place.
Kabuto, however, was no amateur. He leapt into the air, narrowly avoiding Shika's shadow. "You're not fast enough Shika Kun," Kabuto taunted, landing lightly on his feet.
However, that was the same time when the clone Shika appeared near Kabuto and confronted him with close combat fighting.
But to Shika's disbelief, Kabuto was able to quickly overwhelm the clone in just under a few seconds and using his medical jutsu he quickly popped the clone.
Shika cursed under his breath. He knew that he wasn't a match for Kabuto, at least he needed his Sharingan which now he could control pretty well, to hold Kabuto's much superior skills, but he couldn't do that, opening Sharingan here in the open in front of everyone was dangerous. He wasn't afraid of these people, but Danzo. That was why he had his divine dogs.
"Charge," Shika shouted. Shadow and Snow rush out immediately.
But before those dogs come near Kabuto vanishes from his place, instincts kick in and Shika spun around just in time to block a kunai aimed at his back. Kabuto appeared out of thin air, his face calm as he delivered a rapid series of strikes aimed at Shika's vital points. Shika was quick on his feet, but Kabuto's medical ninja skills were sharp. Each strike was precise and deadly.
'Damn, he surely is skilled.' Shika all but cursed seeing how Kabuto was overwhelming him.
He knew that he needed a little more help here. Forming a hand sign, he quickly slams his hand on the ground and the next second a hoard of rabbits appears out of a big buff of smoke.
"Distract, and hinder his movements," Shika said and those Rabbits rushed at Kabuto.
Kabuto seeing this looked a little surprised, he really had no idea that Shika had a summoning contract, let alone 2.
Shika summoned water from a nearby broken pipe, forming it into a wave that he sent crashing toward Kabuto. Kabuto dodged with ease, but that was what Shika expected. The water was a distraction. Shadow and Snow lunged at Kabuto from the side and this time they connected. Shadow bit down hard on Kabuto's leg, while Snow grabbed his arm.
Kabuto didn't even see the dogs coming thanks to all those rabbits covering his sight.
They weren't the only shinobi fighting there, and others also noticed a hoard of Rabbits rampaging around. Though they didn't do any damage besides biting which was nothing for a shinobi, they were annoying and really good at concealing attacks from both Shika and his dogs.
Kabuto winced but didn't falter. With a burst of chakra, he threw the dogs off, sending them skidding across the ground. "Annoying pests," Kabuto muttered, wiping the blood from his arm.
"Since when you have these two summons." Suddenly a familiar voice rang in Shika's ear and he knew who this was.
"A long time, though I didn't use it in preliminary as the exam was to test the individual's strength." Shika quickly glanced at Sasuke who appeared beside him and answered, he knew what exactly he was trying to ask.
Sasuke didn't reply after that but Shika knew what he might be thinking. Not using Sharingan which he thinks Shika had back then or this Summon beast. He might think that he was looking down on him.
"I heard you have gotten stronger... I look forward to seeing your improvement." Shika only said this as he again rushed at Kabuto.
"Hn, you'll see." Sasuke just sneer at Shika still hiding his Sharingan and rushes at Kabuto.
He knew by instinct that Shika wouldn't have summon his beast if the opponent wasn't strong, he wanted to see just how strong Kabuto really was.
He also knew that Kabuto wanted to attack him when he was unconscious so this was a little personal as well.

The clone was watching the fight keenly, Hiruzen right now was fighting with both the first and second Hokage while Orochimaru himself was standing beside and waiting.
The clone wasn't sure whether they could sense him, he first thought that it's possible for a sensor but that wasn't the case.
Karin who right now was staying in Konoha in the pretext of seeing the Chunin exam was proof.
Her Mind Eye of Kayuga, arguably on par with Byakugan, couldn't sense him while he was inside shadows.
This means that normal people, even kage level who don't have any sensor ability shouldn't be able to sense him.
And so far, they haven't.
"This sure got potential." Clone had a little smirk appearing on his face.

Before Shika could respond, Kabuto, who had been knocked down just moments ago, started to stir. His eyes fluttered open, and he pushed himself up, groaning slightly. "You sure got some pesky pets, Shika kun," Kabuto muttered, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. "And what about you, Sasuke Kun, are you also planning on fighting me." Kabuto asked to which Sasuke didn't directly reply.
Shika tensed, knowing the fight wasn't over. Kabuto's chakra flared again, his injuries quickly healing as he used his medical ninjutsu.
'Ah, I almost forgot that he can also use healing jutsu. Sigh.' Shika can't help but call out troublesome right then and there.
Without warning, Kabuto lunged at Sasuke, chakra scalpel glowing in his hand. Sasuke was quick, dodging to the side and countering with a swift kick aimed at Kabuto's head. Kabuto blocked it with his arm but was pushed back slightly by the force.
Shika didn't waste any time. While Sasuke engaged Kabuto head-on, Shika formed hand signs and sent his shadow across the battlefield, trying to catch Kabuto in his Shadow Possession Jutsu again. But Kabuto was quick, moving unpredictably to avoid being trapped.
Sasuke charged at Kabuto, throwing a flurry of kunai at him. Kabuto deflected the kunai with ease, but Sasuke wasn't done. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke shouted, unleashing a massive fireball toward Kabuto.
Kabuto barely dodged in time, the flames scorching the ground where he had just stood. "Impressive," Kabuto said with a grin, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "But you'll need more than that to stop me."
As Kabuto focused on Sasuke, Shika's shadow finally reached him. "Got you!" Shika shouted, successfully trapping Kabuto in his Shadow Possession Jutsu. Kabuto's movements froze as Shika's shadow locked him in place.
Sasuke didn't hesitate. He rushed forward, his Sharingan spinning as he prepared to strike. "It's over!" Sasuke yelled, thrusting his Chidori directly at Kabuto.
Shika seeing this smirk, he knew that Sasuke was learning Chidori under Kakashi. Now he wonders, he has Sharingan right, so can't he use Chidori by using Nue's lightning? Will need training but it's certainly possible.
Kabuto's eyes widened in surprise.
He knew this Jutsu, this was Kakashi's trademark jutsu, he knew that if he got hit then it would be over for him, but he couldn't move due to the shadow binding him.
Sasuke rushes at Kabuto and directly attacks him, but at the last second Kabuto's Chakra flares up to get out of the Shadow binding.
Though he wasn't able to get away from the Chidori, he was able to prevent his vitals from piercing.
"Hold him..." Sasuke seeing his smack his tongue and shouted at Shika.
"I'm trying!" Shika yelled back, his muscles straining to keep Kabuto locked in place. Sweat dripped down his face as he pushed his chakra to the limit.
'Jonin level indeed.' Shika can't help but agree.
Kabuto seeing the shadow loosening, jumped back while trying to heal the hole in his abdomen caused by Sasuke's Chidori.
Sasuke collapsed to one knee, exhausted from the effort. "Damn it," he muttered, frustrated that Kabuto had escaped again.
Just as Shika thought, right now using Chidori for one time alone is his limit. Maybe he can use it another one time but that was it.
Sasuke glanced back at Shika, his Sharingan still deactivating. "Give me 2 minutes."
"Yeah," Shika said, panting.
He too was running out of chakra, making that clone active, and using that large-scale hidden mist jutsu was too much.
But that was when he smirked. "Seems like I gotta use this nonetheless."
There was a smile on his face and he immediately took out a scroll.
The next second he felt his Chakra replenishing.
'Knew this was a brilliant idea.' Shika felt his chakra replenishing thought. The scroll in his hand was a chakra replenishment scroll which he himself created. Now there doesn't exist anything like this in the Naruto world but he was able to make one with all the things he had in his disposal.
It was pretty simple, he created a Shadow clone and then sealed that clone inside the scroll. Usually, a clone should have half of his chakra. He seals two clones together, putting around 66% of his chakra inside the scroll.
Now here was the interesting thing, The clone when pop does return some of the used chakra but not all.
But when in the sealed scroll, almost 100% of the chakra is there, no wastage, all Shika have to do is absorb that chakra right from the seal itself, he doens't even have to unseal his clone, and the chakra is there, just absorb the chakra right from the scroll. And the best part, its his chakra, meaning his body doesn't need to process that chakra before using it, aka no backslash...
Kabuto, now standing a few meters away, looked at the two of them with a wary smile. His wound was still bleeding.
"You both are indeed genius, I have to say that Mr Orochimaru didn't choose wrong." Kabuto said but then his attention turned to Shika who was smiling at him while he though the scroll in his hand to the ground and then slammed his hands together.
"You know what, fuck it..." Shika said this and the next second his eyes changed only for a second... making Kabuto's eyes go wide before a dazed look appeared on his face.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Genjutsu."
Before Kabuto could make another move, Shika was ready and a jet of water left his palm.
Kabuto came out of the B-rank Genjutsu almost immediately, he really had good control over his chakra, but Shika's technique was faster.
"Convergence."
Sasuke only saw a jet of highly pressurized water rush at Kabuto with his Sharingan, even his Sharingan wasn't able to see the speed of that attack completely.
And it directly pierces Kabuto's heart...even making the man with glasses unaware of what just happened.
Sasuke sees this frown. He looked back at Shika asking what was that.
"You ain't the only person who learn new tricks." Shika to this just smirk and reply.
Sasuke frowns further because he remembers that this looks very similar to that one water-style technique Shika used to stop his fireball in their fight.
He can't help but gulp internally.
'What if he used this technique back then ?'

I'll say Convergence is on par with both Chidori and Rasengan, at least there normal variants.
