Naruto Knights – 1 Year Passing

~~~Ninja crisis, Darko in the Dark~~~

A young women sat in an office. Two people with her slaving over paper work, tired and annoyed they put there pens and pencils down. Hime stood up from her desk and looked at Fluffy, and Phoenix. “Alright, you two can go home or do what ever you feel.”

A sudden knock at the door with screaming in the background broke her speech. “LADY TSUNADE!”

Ignis came running into the room. She had to take several deep breaths before she could talk again.

“Ignis is everything all right?” Fluffy walked over trying to keep her balanced.

“No.” Hime looked into her eyes. “He’s still alive.” Hime looked at her in questioning.

“Who’s still alive?”

“Darko, Darko Akimichi. We just received word that he has assassinated the Raikage of hidden Lighting village.”

Hime stood there in shock. “This cant be, Kakashi killed him and Sasochi.”

Ignis looked into her eyes. “We have reason to believe he’s heading to hidden Earth village next. The Tsuchikage is in great danger. Also we believe that he has several ninja working with him. Two of them from hidden leaf.”

“Who else is with them?!?”

“Sniper and Zabuza.”

Hime slammed her fist down on the table. “GOD DAAAAAAAAAAMN IIIIIIT!” The table broke. “Get me Sirion, Falcon, Delev, and Panther!” Ignis vanished behind a cloud of smoke without a second thought.

Moments later the four of the ninja were standing in the room.

“I need you four to go on a mission now. The Tsuchikage is in an enormous amount of danger. If you can’t get to the Hidden Earth village now there could be many problems. Take this note to the Tsuchikage. But realize this, he’s a new Kage of that village so talking to him and persuading him might be a lot more difficult then you expect. Get going now!” Hime gave the note to Panther. Panther and the rest of the team went rushing out of the door.

Ignis was still sitting in the room with Hime. Hime looked over at her.

“I have a mission for you as well Ignis.” Hime looked down at her, she looked rather depressed and somewhat pissed at the fact that so much was happening yet again. “I want you and several other ninja to go to Kenshin’s aide. I want you to take the jounin Obito, and Stealth, and the ANBU Silvercloud with you. Let Kenshin know of what’s happened if he doesn’t already know. Also I want you to get Kane, and Lessa while you head out, let them know I have a mission for them as well.”

Ignis nodded at her and walked out of the office room. She turned around and smiled at Hime, “I won’t let you down.” As Ignis turned around something caught her foot, she fell hard on the ground.

Hime slapped her forehead. “For the love.” Ignis got back to her feet and smiled, she ran down the hallway as Hime listened to the footsteps fade.

Ignis met up with everyone that Hime had insisted on going. Obito, Stealth, and Silvercloud were let in on the mission and were soon heading out of the village.

Before leaving Ignis had met up with Kane. “Tsunade wants you and Lessa to see her at her office. She has a mission for you two. Id get a move on it, something serious has happened. I have to get going now, sorry for such short talk.”

Kane nodded at her. “Alright, thank you Ignis for telling me.” The four Ninja went running along the road, as Kane watched them then turned around to go find Lessa.


Ignis and her group were out of the village walls and making there way to Kenshin.

Ignis looked back at the other three. “Alright lets pick up the pace, just in case Darko makes his attempts on Kenshin next.”


-Somewhere deep in the forest-

Darko was in a dark black and red outfit, he was leaning up against a tree resting a bit, with about fifteen other ninja around him.

“My chakra is to low, I need a rest. Who knew that the Raikage would put up such a tuff fight.”

Darko panted for several seconds then caught his breath. It had been obvious that he had ran a long distance.

A figure all dressed in white suddenly came out of nowhere. Darko split up the side of a tree trying to dodge a Kunai the strange person had thrown at him. “Still as fast as ever I see.”

“No, no frigin way.” Darko could just barely make out a set of eyes under the hood. There was an unusual red glow coming from them. “Its not possible, you should be dead right now. I know, I watched you blow yourself up.”

“Yea well looks can be deceiving cant they. I mean you would know all about that now wouldn’t you Darko.”

“Why have you come for me Kakashi?”

Kakashi let out a small laugh. “Don’t worry, I don’t care about a worthless piece of garbage like you. I just want to see how my son faired against you, and I guess I have my answer. Seeing the whole time he could have killed you.”

Darko looked at him for a second. –“Son, what does he mean?”- Darko slowly turned around to see a young man standing there, his hands in an acquired hand sign. “The hell? Who is this kid.”

“As I said before, its my son. He funny enough hails from the same clan as me. He’s got both Kekkai genki as myself. He’s learned a lot about silent kill jutsu and such, as you can see here. Oooh, also, I hope you have more followers.”

Darko laughed at him. “Your kidding right, I have many followers still. Why do you ask.”

Kakashi gave a deep smile. “Cause the fifteen you had hear are dead by the looks of it.” Darko turned around again to see that all the ninja had in fact been killed. Blood sprayed everywhere. All fifteen bodies were lain out in the tree’s and along the ground. It was obvious that there were small bones that pierced there body and hit parts that gave them a fast death.

Darko looked back at Kakashi, “So did you come to kill me or have this brat kill me?”

“Again, at the moment I have no interest in you. Don’t worry I will keep you alive for now.” The young male behind him slowly seeped into the ground. “I just wanted to see how well he would do. Sadly for you he probably match’s your power and strength. Though just in this year alone I have grown so much more powerful then you could even hope to imagine.”

“Don’t kid yourself, you know even with all this power you cant live forever.”

“On the contrary, iv done much research on Orochimaru and many others, I have found a way to stay alive for as long as I feel fit. I don’t need to take other human bodies to do so. But even so it’s a high dangerous and high forbidden jutsu. One that I can promise you, you will never get your hands on it.”

Darko looked at Kakashi for a second. “If you don’t mind I need to go now Kakashi, I have an errand I must keep up with.”

“May I ask, what exactly your doing?”

Darko like Kakashi’s son started to slowly disappear underground. “I’m doing something I should have before. One down, four to go.” Kakashi looked at him then realized what he was going to do. Kakashi place his hand on the ground as bones shot up, but was too late. Darko had already disappeared.

“If I could do that jutsu again and kill you by blowing up I would, but sadly the last time I did it, I killed a part of my body. I used a lovely little jutsu that I can transfer my body into a shadow clone, we trade places. When I blew up I traded places with a clone I made far earlier. So instead of me dying, the clone died. Hah, that move can only be done using Mangekyou Sharingan.” Kakashi laughed a few seconds then got serious.



Several days went by as the ninja headed back to the village to report to Hime. Ignis’s group was the very last to return to the village. They had just made it inside the walls when Ignis looked at Obito. “I want you to come with me, I need to report to Hime about Kenshin and his thoughts.”

Obito looked up at Silvercloud then to Ignis. “Alright. Sure ill come.”

Silvercloud and Stealth broke away and went in a separate direction. Ignis and Obito got back up to Hime’s office. Ignis put her hand up to the door and knocked. “One moment please.” Obito pressed his ear up to the door just to possible get a chance to hear what might be going on inside. “Alright come in, you sneak.” Obito shrieked a little then opened the doors.

A figure sat in a chair near Hime. A young male child sat next to him swinging his feet back and forth.

“No, impossible.” Obito looked at the figure in awestruck. “It, it cant be you.”

Ignis walked in and saw the figure sitting there. “You came back.” Ignis looked into the persons eyes. “Its been a year since I last saw you.”

“I see you haven’t forgotten me Ignis. Just like last time, as bright as ever.”

Obito started to grind his teeth. “Kakashi, you bastered. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” He turned to the door, “GAURDS, GAURDS COME!” Several gaurds heard him and rushed up the stairs. Hime looked at them.

“Its ok, false alarm.”

“FALSE ALARM, I WANT HIS ASS ARESTED NOW!”

“Obito, I haven’t come back to fight, I came baring some important news.”

“Really, what else Kakashi, to leave again? You’re a rouge ninja of hidden leaf. Your no longer welcome here.”

Kakashi put his head down. “I know, I know what you think. I know how you fe---”

“YOU HAVE NO CLUE.” The young child next to Kakashi stood up from his seat.

“I might be young mister, but shut up. Don’t disrespect my father.” The young boy walked over to a wall and leaned up against it.

“A puppet of yours Kakashi?” Obito started to taunt the child.

“Obito, he is young but I wouldn’t be talking like that to him. He’s much stronger then meets the eye.” Obito moved forward and disappeared, he reappeared in front of Kakashi with a bone sticking straight out at him. Though he was fast, the boy had vanished and reappeared in front of Kakashi almost instantly with two large bones sticking out of his palms.

“Your personal guard then.”

“I wont allow you to touch my father.”

Obito looked into the kids eyes. His eyes slowly formed into Sharingan. Obito took a step back. “What the hell, what is he? Is he really like us Kakashi?”

“I said don’t mess with him didn’t I?”

“I have missed out on a lot since you left. When did you get this runt as a child?”

“I found him in a village far off from the battlefield. All of his people were dead. As we started to head to the battle, every village we past, all the people were dead. I kept him as my own, and he adopted the name of Father.”

“He saved me from myself. He is my father, I don’t care what you say!”

Kakashi looked up at Hime, “Pardon me Hime, it seems as if Obito and myself have some unfinished business.” The young child looked at him. “Please move Madara.” Almost in an instance the young boy stepped to Himes side, out of the way of Kakashi and Obito. “Well shall we Obito.”

Obito’s eyes were closed, his head bent down looking at the ground. He moved his head back up, his eyes slowly opened, the Sharingan vibrant as ever. Kakashi looked on at him, not even attempting to move.

Obito ran forward, smashing Kakashi straight through the building. As they both hung above the ground, Obito gripped his fist together and slammed Kakashi into the ground, then slowly fell. Kakashi slowly crawled out of the hole that Obito created slamming him into the ground. Kakashi brushed some dirt off his clothing. “I do hope that after all this time, you haven’t been doing nothing.”

From the way they were standing, There were absolutely no buildings in the way heading to the main gate to the village. Kakashi ran forward pushing Obito deeper and deeper into the ground as they left the village walls. Kakashi jumped backwards as bones started to pop out of the ground all around were Obito was.

Obito slowly crawled out of the ground. His hand started to grow claws made of bone.

“I haven’t spent a day without training for at least five hours. I have waited for the day I could fight stronger then ever, and it seems like I get that chance today.”

Kakashi looked deep into Obito’s eyes. A tear ran down Kakashi’s cheek.

Obito noticed the tear running down his face. “Why Kakashi, why did you leave me?”

“I did what I felt was needed. I thought I could get something, that truthfully Sasochi didn’t have for me. It was a mistake. I made a mistake of leaving you and everyone.”

“You left for what exactly?”

“Far more power then you could imagine.”

“You left me alone, for power? You left me alone, feeling like nothing was worth being here, for power?”

“I’m sorry Obito.”

Obito clenched his fists. “SORRIES NOT GOOD ENOUGH. SORRY WONT HELP THE PAIN I WAS IN AND STILL IN.” Obito arched back as a white chakra flooded the outside of his body. Kakashi reached his left arm around his neck and unhinged his black robe. He was wearing something that looked like a training outfit, it had several weights on it. Obito looked at him in shock. “Those, those aren’t ordinary training weights, those are used to increase speed and strength. You started the fight with those on?”

Kakashi looked at him and smiled. There was a small strap on the front of him, he unlocked it as the weights on his chest fell off, as they hit the ground it made the ground around them shutter. He then took his leg weights off and his wrists. Each one hit the ground making a large indent. Kakashi jumped out of the hole he made by dropping the weights. “Lets begin, little brother.”

Obito jumped into the air then grabbed onto Kakashi’s shoulders. He slammed his head into Kakashi’s. Blood slowly flowed down there foreheads. Kakashi then grabbed onto Obito’s neck and started to beat Obito into a oblivion. He swung Obito around a few times and released him sending him into a nearby tree.

Obito got up with only a few minor injuries. He brushed himself off. He grabbed two straps on his sleeve and released them. His whole outfit fell to the ground and split it part of the earth.

“I warn you Kakashi, I’m not like I was when we last saw each other at the waterfall.”

Kakashi started to make hand signs. Obito copied him. “FIRE STYLE, DRAGON FLAME BOMB!” They both released a large explosive fireball at each other, they both collided and exploded.

Kakashi looked into Obito’s eyes again. His eyes shifting into Mangekyou Sharingan. “Now a whole new version of jutsu, some you haven’t seen.”

Obito’s eyes shifted into the Mangekyou now. Obito lifted his hand. A large bone rose out of the ground behind him and formed into a hand.

Kakashi slowly walked up to Obito, Obito released the bone do to the fact Kakashi was to close for an attack as large as his.

Kakashi was only two feet away. He took a step forward as his Sharingan disappeared. He wrapped his arms around Obito, “I’m sorry little brother.” Kakashi grabbed his chest suddenly, he spat out a patch of blood onto Obito’s clothing. He released from the hug and fell to the ground.

“KAKASHI!” Obito collapsed to the ground, he ripped open Kakashi’s shirt to find a curse mark slowly spreading across his chest. It came to a halt but was beating dark red and orange.

“It cant be, how did you get this?”

“It, it was past down from Kimimaro.”

Obito tried to figure out how it worked, but when he touched the mark it burnt his fingertips. He pulled back his arm from the burn. Kakashi fell unconscious.

Obito looked on as the curse mark receded. Obito scooped Kakashi up and started to run back to the village. He rushed down the road as everyone watched him from the sides. “GET OUT OF MY WAY!” ANBU black ops caught up with Obito, “Is everything ok?”
“No I need to get him to the infirmary now!” Obito rushed up the road when he made it to the hospital. Hime had caught wind and had rushed to the hospital as well, she was already there when Obito arrived.

“Give Kakashi to me now!” Hime took hold of Kakashi out of Obito’s hands. She rushed inside as Kakashi kept spitting up blood. She laid him out on a stretcher and ran into the back room with him were several medical ninja were waiting.

Hime loomed over him looking at the burning curse mark on his chest. “We cant use a seal on him, this curse mark has grown past the containment of a seal.”

One of the medical ninja looked at him. “So my lady what do we do?”

“Forbidden jutsu, I know of one that could contain this mark, and stop what ever damage its done to his body. Run to the Nara clan and ask them for there medical book, I’m in need of several potions from it.”

Lessa walked in. “Did I hear you need a certain book?” In her hands she was holding an extremely large book. She placed it out on a table. “Here you go. I hope you find what’s needed”

Hime looked at Lessa and blushed. “Thank you.” She then smiled at Lessa and started to scan through looking for everything.

It was several hours before Obito heard a single utter from inside the doors. Finally a medical ninja came out. “Obito Uchiha?”

“Yes? I’m here”

The medical ninja put his head down as he walked up to Obito. “I have to tell you right now, Kakashi is in a very critical condition.” Obito gasped. “Don’t worry its nothing you did, it seems that curse mark has been eating away at him. Hime is doing everything she can with her medical ninjutsu. I believe she will be able to pull it off but she’s far from over. I think she will be here all night taking care of him.”

Hime sat in front of the large book. She was flipping through pages and then came across one page and started to crush up herbs and other ingredients into a bowl.

“It also seems that she will have to put him through a very intense forbidden barrier jutsu. If all goes well then Kakashi will pull through.”

Just then four figures walked through the door. All of them had the same clothing on as Kakashi had before. “Were here, were is Tsunade Hime?”

The docter waved his hand to get them to follow. They all ran into the next room. A large amount of words had been written out along the floor. A bunch of spells and seals written within a large square. The square had several tendrils of words sprouting up the wall. There had to have been over one million words there, to form the barrier. The ninja took there robes off to reveal that they were the rouge four. The young boy Madara followed them in as the door shut. Obito attempted to walk in but a doctor stopped him. “Excuse me, but you cant go i---” Obito slapped her hand out of his way. “My brothers going in there, ill go in if I wish.” Obito brushed by the women and walked in.

Akimoto, Raziel, Wanderer, and Melissa sat in corners of the square. These corners were specifically designated for the very reason.

Kakashi was brought in an put on the floor. He had nothing except a towel covering his private area. The curse mark had spread across his body. It was very much visible, it was a pure black. Kakashi tried to grip the floor from the pain. Hime walked in, Obito snarled at her. “What the hell have you done.”

“Shut up and move or you can be removed.” Obito backed up with his mouth open, feeling rather disrespected he backed up and sat down next to Madara.

“Alright you four follow my lead.” Hime placed her hands down in front of her, into the tiger hand sign. A glow of red on the floor sparked up, it was obvious that everyone started to feed there chakra into Kakashi as a stream of green flowed from each of there bodies into Kakashi’s curse mark.

Kakashi shrieked in pain. Obito jumped up, but Madara pulled him back down suddenly. “Don’t interrupt idiot.”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAH, Eeeeeh” Kakashi continued to scratch at the floor as the curse mark receded back into his body. The curse mark itself on his chest started to spin around the stopped as it turned black. But even so Hime nor the rest of the ninja let up.

Obito and Madara sat there for several hours as Himes and the rouge four’s chakra began to drain. Wanderer looked up at Hime. “I can’t keep this up much more, and by the looks non of us can.” There hair was flying everywhere from the presser of the chakra.

“WE CANT STOP NOW OR HE DIES!” Obito stood up, Madara attempted to pull him down but was unable to. He walked over to Wanderer and pushed him out of the way, he bowed down and started to copy Hime using the Sharingan. The flow of chakra began to flow greater again. Wanderer took a few deep breaths. “Thanks Obito, I need some rest.” Wanderer past out. Madara walked over and pushed Akimoto out of the way.

“WERE ALMOST DONE, KEEP IT UP!” Hime was sweating, Raziel and Melissa were getting extremely tired. Finally Hime let up, as soon as she did everyone else did. She stood up and walked up to Kakashi, “Its done.”

~~~~ Next time ~~~~

Kakashi recuperates in the hospital for several days. Several more ninja are sent out on missions that are highly classified by Hime, to be S rank. The Rouge four make themselves at home in the hidden leaf village. Kenshin comes by for a visit to see Kakashi and Hime. Ignis payes her dues with Kakashi after a year.

Part one

~~~~Darko: The Floating Castle~~~~

Silvercloud and Falcon were practicing chakra control out in a large meadow. Silvercloud started to focus chakra into her palms and strike out at Falcon, aiming for non vital areas in the body.

Falcon did what she had to, in order to dodge the attacks. But even dodging wasn’t enough, the chakra was to far spread out of Silverclouds hands that it was still grazing parts of her body.

Silvercloud grazed the side of Falcon’s cheek. “OUCH!”

Falcon grind her teeth together and focused chakra into her hands. She started to strike at every point on Silver cloud’s body that she could. Silvercloud jumped back, her hair flung up in the air long enough that Falcon was out of sight now. She appeared very close to the ground and hit a chakra point in Silverclouds leg. Almost immediately Silvercloud went down.

She smiled. “Good, now take it farther.” Silverclouds hand started to glow a bright green, she tapped her leg and sprang back up.

Out of nowhere Nintendo started to backflip out into the way of Silvercloud and Falcon. Ignis came flying out of a set of bushes. The Crow at her side along with her small puppet army. The small infant puppets all started to jump out across the battlefield. From behind Nintendo, Ignis’s black and came swooping in as if to pick up Nintendo off his feet.

“Puppet arts, IRON MAIDEN” Nintendo dodged to the side as the large puppet came swooping in just clipping his foot. The black ant crashed on the ground as the Crow came in for an attack, its swords all sticking out and ready to stab. Nintendo got back to his feet. He ran forward and vanished just missing another attack from the Crow. He appeared at Ignis’s side, he went to strike out but one of the smaller puppets jumped up just in time to block the attack.

Another popped up out of nowhere and attached itself to Nintendo’s ankle. Another one grabbed onto his other ankle. Ignis put one of her hands up to her face. The puppets used there feet to latch on then released there hands from him. They turned there dimand tipped fingernails in and stabbed straight into his leg.

Silvercloud was caught off guard with them fighting, that she didn’t have time to notice Falcon making hand signs. Falcon had her eye’s closed. Then the burst open with the Byakugan, she finished the long strand of hand signs. “Earth style, Chakra after shock!” The ground began to tremble.

Silvercloud was standing on a very firm patch of ground that suddenly began to give way under her. As if things couldn’t get worse suddenly a burst of chakra swept out from the ground hitting her in the feet. She went flat on her face. “Crap, welp I know what that jutsu does know, it drains the bodies energy from the head to the persons feet. This fight might just be over, unless.” Silvercloud extended her right arm onto the ground. She slowly tried to use it and stand. But fell back to the ground. She summoned the strength to get both of her hands under neither her. She rose to her hands and knees.
She grasped onto the solid ground as if ready to pick it up. “Ninja art, Spirit grain!” She slowly began to stand up as she picked up the surrounding area of dirt, trees, and rocks. “Now, Elemental art, condensed earth!” The large amount of earth she was holding started to shrink into a small ball. It was about the size of her as she through it. Falcon laughed.

The ball slowly came through the air then began to roll across the ground. Falcon dodged the right so that the ball will just roll right by her. But it caught her off guard as the ball of earth expanded into one large ball of dirt. Ignis and Nintendo began jumping backwards just barely getting squashed by the solid ball of dirt. Falcon had started to climb up the side of it as it continued to roll. One slip and she would be finished.

She arched one hand back and punched a small hole into the side of the large ball. She crawled into it as the ball continued to spin out of control but suddenly came to a halt.

“Did I kill her?” Silvercloud looked all around the ball for signs of life. “Shit.” Suddenly out of part of the large ball Falcon’s arm reached out and grabbed Silvercloud by the leg. Extending a large strand of chakra around Silvercloud’s leg she began feeding off her chakra. Silvercloud attempted to strike at it with her own chakra but couldn’t cut the strand. She finally hit it with pure chakra that made a current flow up into Falcon’s hand. She let go instantly.

Ignis and Nintendo started to run up the side of the large ball of dirt and continue there fight. Ignis looked at him and laughed as her small puppets began to sprout out of the large ball. One grazed his leg and another his right cheek.

Nintendo moved as close as he could to Ignis and jumped off into the air, “Leaf hurricane!”


Back in the village. Kakashi was still in recovery. Obito had walked into the room Hime was in so that he could talk to her. “How is he?”

“His condition is stabilizing at this point. We got to him just in time. However.”

Obito looked up at her, “uuuh.”

“What ever it is, something is inside him. Literally killing him. Its something that we cant figure out. That curse mark has something to do with it, I know.”

“What do you mean, there’s nothing you can do?”
“All we can do now, is keep the curse mark under control. That god damn fool, Orochimaru. What was he trying to do in his life?”

“Kakashi’s dying.”

“Orochimaru is still out there, and your next mission ill be sending you out on will be to find him and kill him.”

“Hime I cant, I need to spend time with my brother.”

“Obito, just because your brother is back in this village, doesn’t mean you can slack off now. Darko and Orochimaru are still out there somewhere. Not to mention Kenshin is being heavily watched due to recent word that there is a spy within hidden Sand. We are doing all we can just to survive, no thanks to Sasochi. Kakashi wouldn’t want you to worry about him, and you know that!”

“HES MY BROTHER!”

Obito went to stand up and walk away, Hime grabbed onto his wrist, but he ripped it out of her clutch. He walked into the room Kakashi was in.

Silvercloud several hours after her training came into see how things were going. Hime stopped her. “Please don’t go in there. Kakashi and Obito want there piece and quite alone.”

She peered in through the small window to see Kakashi sprawled out on his bed, Obito was fast asleep, his head resting on Kakashi’s stomach, and one of his hands grasping Kakashi’s. Silvercloud could see a tear running down Kakashi’s face. It looked like he was asleep but it was all too obvious that he was still awake.

Silvercloud walked down the hall with Hime. They went into a small office slash lounge room, Hime sat her down and told her everything that was going on. Silvercloud put her hand up to her mouth and gasped. Tears rolled down her face.

A meeting was even held with the Sanin and several other high ranked ninja. All to hear that this was happening.

Hime sat at the head of the table. “At the moment his condition has stabilized, but the same thing could happen at any moment. Sadly, the doctors took a blood sample from Obito as well, they think the same thing Kakashi has, Obito might have as well. There seems to be absolutely no cancer cells, no STD’s, no viral attacks, nothing. What ever is eating away at Kakashi cant be described or fixed. The best thing we can do now is watch over both of them, and hope that we don’t have to do anything for a while.”

Phoenix stood up, “There’s nothing we can do?”

“For the time being, there is absolutely nothing we can do. Our medical corp is on the job looking and testing his blood to see if there is anything we missed. So far all test results are negative.”

It had been two days, and Kakashi still was in the hospital. Obito was no longer in the room. He had gone out to get some stuff for him and Kakashi. Obito was determined not to listen to Hime and just support his brother until his passing.

Hime had walked in to Kakashi’s room after several days of not wanting to see him at all. Kakashi was actually not in the bed when she came in. He was standing by the window. He arms folded behind his back.

“Kakashi, why did you come back? I know that your welcome to be here but yet your not. You’re a rouge ninja now, no longer part of Hidden Leaf. You left us for more then a year. Obito thought of killing himself because he thought he did something wrong.”

“Then why did you bring me back? Why did you let me live?”

“Because even though you left us, and you hurt him. His face. I could tell if you were to die that he would have no hopes left. I know that you were awake when he was asleep in there. You know he loves you like a brother like a friend. I couldn’t let that die. Not on him.”

“I NEVER ASKED FOR YOU HELP WOMEN.” Kakashi swung around and glared into her eyes. “You’re the one who brought me back to life, you have no right telling me that I don’t belong in this village. I made a mistake, and I’m here to fix that mistake to the best I can.” Kakashi walked out of the room almost as if he was completely normal in health again.

As he walked out of the hospital several nurses tried to stop him, but were only stopped as several large bones got in-between him and them.

Hime put one hand over her eyes. But the drama was just about to end, Kakashi collapsed outside. He began to cough up blood. The nurses ran to his side and got him back in the hospital within seconds.

With in minutes he was stabilized gain and unconscious in his room.

The next day Hime dragged Obito out of the room by his ear. “Your going on a mission weather you like it or not.”

Obito grabbed her hand and tried to pull her off but it was no use. “Fine ill go.”

Obito walked back inside to say goodbye to Kakashi.

Hime handed Obito a pile of papers that he had to read. Obito, Silvercloud, and Sirion set out the next day on an S rank mission.

~~~~Darko: The Floating Castle~~~~


Kenshin looked out over the hidden sand village. “Something’s not right here.” The Village was dark and quite, a bit to quite for even Kenshin. The silence cut through the night like a knife through butter. Kenshin walked down a small corridor with several windows on each side of him. He shifted his eyes to the right and left but saw nothing.

He closed his eyes then reopened them into a bright red color. A crash through the window farthest ahead of him caught his attention. He began to make hand signs and then inhaled a large amount of air. “FIRE STYLE, FIREBALL JUTSU.” He let out a large flame of fire that cracked down the hallway, nothing was going to stop it, nor could anything dodge it. Kenshin looked on as the figure took a full brunt hit from the fire style.

Not only did Kenshin’s attack not effect the ninja, but the ninja had already begun his counter on Kenshin. Several other ninja swept in through the large opening were the first came in. Kenshin started making several hand signs again. “Try making it past this one, FIRE STYLE, DRAGON FLAME JUTSU!” The flame struck the ninja, sending him back into the wall directly behind the other two ninja. Kenshin’s sand came rushing down the hallway taking out the other two ninja. “Sand coffin!” The ninja were crushed, but just as those two had died more and more ninja kept sweeping down the hallway. “God just like vermin, ill have to crush you all just like rats.

Darko appeared at the end of the hall way, ninja rushing past him. He looked dead on into Kenshin’s eyes, with cold malice. He slowly rose his right hand then extended his pointer finger and directed it at Kenshin.

Several ninja from hidden sand slowly began to rise out of the floor in front of Kenshin. “LORD KAZAKAGE, RUN!”

Kenshin shook his head, “Not even in the question, he broke into my village.” Kenshin put his head tilted so he was looking at the floor. “He will pay for his crimes.” The five ninja went running forward into the swarm of Darko’s army. Kenshin began making hand signs, “Hold them off for a few minutes while I gather chakra!” The ninja nodded at him. Kenshin placed his hands together, “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” Chakra built in the palms of his hand, a very dark blue chakra. He nodded to the others to move. They all retreated behind Kenshin, “Fire style didn’t work before nor did the sand, so how about a combination.” Kenshin’s sand rushed forward. He let in a deep breath and then breathed out a large amount of fire. “FIRE STYLE, GLASS SHARD BLAZE!” The sand that went forward turned into hard glass spikes piercing each ninja except Darko, Darko’s skin had become so strong it deflected them. More and more ninja kept running through the hole and after Kenshin.

Suddenly the wall in front of Kenshin broke. Two figures stood there, one with a large sword. The other next to him held a bunch of small scrolls. The one with the large sword ran forward, scraping the blade of the sword across the wall. He finally swung out and struck several ninja at once. The more he took down the more that came in, he couldn’t break through to get to Darko. Sniper rolled out several small scrolls. He bit his thumb and swiped it across all of them in one go. “Ninja art, barrier genjutsu!”
A large strand of barriers came out and started to protect each attack a ninja tried to land on the Ninja with a the sword. Kenshin’s sand swept forward as he started to make hand signs. “MANGEKYOU SHARINGAN!” Kenshin’s eyes started to sweep over the other ninja and instantaneously killed a ninja hear and there. He focused the Sharingan on Darko now. Darko dodged to one side behind several other ninja.

“Its impossible, he learned a jutsu at that magnitude of power.”

Kenshin motioned for the other ninja to pull back, the one with the scrolls pulled them back and released the barrier. “I see, Sniper and Zabuza.” Kenshin started to make a large strand of hand signs, he took a deep breath in. “STAND BACK!” His eyes started to spin around in the Mangekyou Sharingan state. “FIRE STYLE, PYRO STRAND!” A large vortex of fire went spinning out of control, it cracked through the sand walls around them finally making a connection were the ninja were coming in. The fire was so hot it wasn’t a bright red and yellow but a dark black color. “Hey Darko, bet you didn’t know that when fire gets hotter then its maximum temperature that it turns into a white flame, but when it passes even that it turns black, that kind of fire can burn even your ashes. NOW DIE!”

The fire swept through killing a bunch of the ninja off outside and in. Darko stood there for several seconds the fire swept past him, as it was aimed at Darko, he stood there as if nothing was going to happen. The fire spun around and aimed for his chest. Darko placed his right hand out and deflected the fire blast up into the air. He pulled his arm back to notice a small singe, “That actually hurt, huu.” Darko ran forward in a blind speed that nothing could stop him. He swept past Kenshin without his notice. “I have learned a few new tricks as well. Now you die.” Before Kenshin could spin around Darko had already begun making several hand signs. He placed his hands on the floor. “Ninja art, Cadaver puppets.” Kenshin turned around in enough speed that he stopped Darko from executing the jutsu.

Back in the village, Kakashi was awake once again. Hime walked into the room to see him. “How are you feeling Kakashi?”
Kakashi looked up at her, “How long Hime?”
“I say you only have a few days.”

Kenshin looked into Darko’s cold red yellow eyes. “It’s over, your time in this world is coming to an end!”
Kenshin went forward to punch Darko, but was in vain, as if a barrier had stopped him Kenshin only hit the air in front of him, then was forced backwards with a colossal amount of power. He was slammed into the wall far on the other side of hallway. Darko went running forward, but was stopped as Zabuza placed the sword out in front of him cutting Darko clean in half. Something was far more wrong then they had expected. As if nothing had happened Darko’s body reattached itself and he continued his onslaught at Kenshin. Kenshin pushed off the wall. Darko ran straight through the wall into the next room. He turned back around but was soon stopped by Obito, Silvercloud, and Sirion who now stood in the way between himself and Kenshin. Obito started to automatically make hand signs. “Wind style, Wind Shuriken jutsu!” A blade of air came shooting out of his palm then broke into small shards, cutting Darko in several areas.
No affect. Darko’s cuts started to heal instantaneously. Silvercloud ran forward and bent down slightly. “Genital fist art, Eight Trigrams, THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY PALMS!” She started to strike at every chakra point on Darko. He laughed at her, he grabbed her head then picked her up and flung her as far as he possibly could. She crashed through several walls and finally was caught by Obito.
Sirion and Kibamaru ran forward. “Ninja art of beast mimicry, ALL FORCE JUTSU!” Both Kibamaru and Sirion started to spin around in a rapid motion. They struck Darko several times. But still no effect.
“You are all worthless to the hidden leaf.”
Almost out of nowhere, Darko was sent backwards through three thick walls. Kakashi stood in front of everyone. He had a pure white outfit on, with a black tank top under a short sleeve white shirt. There was a long strand of black cloth that was a belt flowing in the wind. Kakashi went running forward.

Darko stood up. He started to draw in more and more power. His muscles started to grow, his whole body actually started to grow. By the time he had finished drawing in the energy he needed he had doubled in size. Kakashi laughed thinking that with all the muscle he had he would be slower than before. Darko ran forward and disappeared, he appeared in front of Kakashi, his fist in Kakashi’s stomach, it was an almost blindsided movement. Kakashi was lifted into the air.

Kenshin signaled to his guards, “Evacuate this village now.”

Kakashi pushed off Darko. “Hehhhehhheh.”

Kakashi stood about ten feet from him, “I’ve had ENOUGH!”

Darko sneered at him. “Not until you lie dead at my feet.” Obito and Silvercloud ran forward but were soon stopped, Darko ran forward his arms extended out far enough so that he picked the two right up into his pit of his elbow. He slammed them through a wall. Kakashi started to do back flips down the hall. Kenshin stood in the way, he resurrected a large and thick wall of sand, Darko tore through it like nothing. He grabbed onto Kenshin’s head and pressed it right into the thick wall. He yet again ran forward at Kakashi, as he got close enough he arched his arm back and punched Kakashi had enough he was punched half way across the village, through every building and wall.
Kakashi stood up and began running across the large path that he just made from crashing through every other wall. Darko had vanished again, he appeared beside Kakashi, hooking him in the air, Kakashi fell to the ground. Darko started to jump on top of Kakashi, “UUUUUH, AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUH,” Blood began spurting out of Kakashi mouth. “EEEHAAAAAAAH!” Darko jumped back several steps as Obito came running along and attempted to attack him. The ground in which Kakashi was now pulverized into began to sink in.

Darko punched Obito hard enough to send him back directly at Kenshin. Kenshin’s sand was sent out and protected Obito from taking a hard hit. Kakashi began walking out of the wall.

Kenshin looked at everyone, “We need to focus our chakra and give it to Kakashi. This is the only way we are going to win this battle.”

Silvercloud put her hand up in the air as a steady flow of blue chakra streamed out and at Kakashi.

Darko looked at Kakashi, “Your persistence is annoying!” Darko jumped off from where he was standing, he collided with the ground and left an indent. Kakashi stood there like a puppet, he had barely any chakra left. Obito and Kenshin put their hands up into the air as a steady white and red chakra flowed off them and into Kakashi. Kakashi made several hand signs. “now,” Darko began to slowly walk towards Kakashi. Kakashi’s eyes opened up wide now. “FIRE STYLE, BLACK FLAME JUTSU!” A large flame was sent at Darko. For a second it seemed like nothing made it from that blast of fire. Darko stood in front of Kakashi as the smoke cleared. “Was that a joke? Kakashi.” He kicked Kakashi as hard as he possibly could sending him into the Hidden Sand village wall. The wall was about a half mile thick, almost impenetrable. Kakashi was sent seven feet into it from the hit.

Sirion looked out, “Shit, he’s not going to make it!” Sirion, Sniper, and Zabuza began sending out streams of chakra now. Darko ran forward and began punching Kakashi into the wall further and further. He took several steps back after he sent Kakashi a good fifty or so feet into the wall. Kakashi slowly came out of the darkness of the whole in the wall. “AAAAAAH JUST DIE!” Kakashi ran forward but was head butted by Darko. But suddenly stopped laughing, A bone struck through his head from Kakashi’s forehead.

Kakashi started to draw in all the chakra at once that everyone was giving him. “Now that this is an even playing field lets have the real battle Darko.”

“Damn, you lasted a lot longer than I had expected but it’s over.”
“Let me see you stop me here and now.”

At that Darko ran forward, Kakashi put his hands up into the air, and stopped Darko in his tracks. Darko’s head was healed already to Kakashi’s amazement.

Kakashi made several shadow clones and attempted to run backwards back to the others, he needed a larger amount of chakra to do the finishing blow. Darko broke through the line of defense like nothing. “Alright everyone, Give me more chakra now while I have the time to finish this fight!” Kenshin jumped down next to Kakashi, “I’ll hold him off while you gather the chakra needed.” Kenshin ran forward directly at Darko. He left a small blue strand running across Darko’s arms and legs. He then jumped around him leaving small blue strands everywhere. “Now I’ll show you one of my newer techniques. Ninja art, Body possession.” Darko laughed as he fought against the threads. Kenshin was struggling to keep the jutsu in place. But with no luck broke the line of threads.
Kakashi stood in the background with his left hand on the ground as a large ball of chakra started to forum. “KENSHIN MOVE, I GOT IT.” Kenshin instantly jumped to the side. Darko looked at Kakashi. He sprinted forward. Kakashi was now close enough he lunged forward and put his left palm onto Darko’s chest. The blast hit so hard Darko hit the ground and sunk into it around thirty feet. He was no longer in his large bulky forum.
“Damn you Kakashi!” His chest was uncontrollably bleeding now. He jumped high into the air but didn’t come back down.

Kakashi looked up waiting for him to come back down, but to his amazement a large object floated over head. The sky got really dark the clouds hiding what was floating above. But a small part of dirt showed through the clouds. “Is that his moving castle? You got to be kidding, its real??” But as soon as it came it disappeared probably due to an illusion jutsu.


The day went on as the entire group tried to figure out what they had seen, but no one had the power to explain or even mention it. Everyone escorted Kenshin back to the Hiddenleaf after he renamed a new Kazekage for hidden Sand. He promised that he would take care of the hidden sand power inside him.

Hime was waiting outside the village gate. As Kenshin walked up, she ran to him and hugged him, “Its good to have you back Kenshin.”

But there was tension in the air that everyone could tell. Kakashi kept glaring at Kenshin. Kakashi didn’t start anything with him though, he was going to wait for a time that no one was around.

It had been late at night that everyone had sat around drinking tea and sake.

Hime grabbed Ignis to pull her back down and seated her. “IGNIS NO MORE SAKI FOR YOU IDIOT!!” Ignis looked at her, under her eyes was a bit red. Ignis looked long and hard at her. Then started to uncontrollably giggle at Hime.

“Hah, Hi…hic, Hime, I ishent drooooonk…..hic. I, heheh, fEEEl fin.” Ignis couldn’t even hold her sake glass she was so out of it.

Kakashi sat out side of the group staring up at the sky into the stars. Kenshin was basically burning a hole in the back of Kakashi’s back he was staring so hard. Hime smack him on the back. “So Kenshin, how was being a Kage?”

Kenshin stopped staring at Kakashi and scrubbed the little bit of food he had on him from Hime hitting him, “Oooh it was fine, a lot of hard work to get hidden Sand back into business but good besides.” But almost instantly after he stopped smiling and looked back on Kakashi.

Kakashi almost snapped right then, “What the hell are you staring at?” Kenshin now looked up at his face. Everyone went silent and looked at Kakashi. “You haven’t been able to keep your eyes off me since you got back her. Do you want something?” Kakashi hoped out of the window and left the shop. Obito came running out of the shop and down to Kakashi, he caught up and silently walked next to Kakashi with his hands in his pocket.

“I didn’t say you had to leave the party on my account Obito.”

“I know, but everyone was being a drag in there.”

Kakashi was having such a hard time not telling Obito that he was dying faster then had expected.

Hime was sitting, she was about to take a sip of sake but found it impossible to do so. She leaned over to Kenshin. “Why, why couldn’t you two have a civil night?”

“It wasn’t my problem he had to be an ass and walk out like that.”

“HES DYING AND HES HAS A LOT ON HIS MIND RIGHT NOW!” Hime flung the table across the room. Ignis’s drunkenness seemed to die right then, she was very aware what was going on around her. Hime slapped money down on the counter and walked out of the shop carrying Ignis with her.

Kenshin sat there while everyone just looked around, Hime had done a lot of damage to the tea shop just from one swing of a table.

“THE TEA SHOP IS CLOSED EVERYONE OUT!” The owner stood there point at the door almost ready to explode.

Kenshin walked out and slowly went back to his house, the house that he hadn’t been in for a year. When he walked in. nothing was the same, after the war had hit, his house had been changed so drastically. He flopped himself on his bed. When he looked out the window up the stars he noticed someone sitting on a roof top far off in the village.

-“Kakashi, why didn’t you tell me. Hime must have not wanted Obito to know.”-

It had been well into the morning now, around 5 am when everyone had returned to there homes from the tea shop. Kenshin had not retired to his bed however. He looked up at Kakashi for a while and realized what had to happen. He knew what Kakashi was waiting for. He got dressed and put on his new outfit that Hime had baught him for returning home. He slowly walked down the road to the building Kakashi was sitting on.

He looked up, Kakashi realized he was there. Kakashi jumped down from the nine story building. Both Kakashi and Kenshin put there hands on each other’s arm and walked down the road.
“I want you to know Kenshin, no matter what happens from hear on in, your going to have to take care of everyone for me. As well. I need you to take care of Obito for me. But you will also need to kill Darko.”

Kenshin looked at him from the corner of his eyes. “What do you mean?”

“I know Hime told you, I’m not completely stupid. Your probably the only one that can beat him now. But truthfully at the current moment that’s all irrelevant, we need to settle something now.”

Kenshin smiled, but the smile soon tarnished. “Yea I know.” Both of them had gone several miles out of the village. Kakashi turned away from Kenshin and walked a ways further off then turned and looked at Kenshin.

Kakashi was crying slightly. But even though he was crying there was a smile on his face.


Kakashi then looked up at Kenshin. “Let this be a battle for everyone to hear.”

Kenshin started to draw in chakra now. Kakashi copied him.

In a blink of an eye they both disappeared but it was obviously they had been high speed fighting, the forest around them was being leveled out. Were ever they had just been a tree would fall. Kakashi finally appeared on top of a tree, Kenshin appeared on a lower branch of the same tree. Kakashi pulled out several papers with kunai attached to them, he flung them down at Kenshin, but Kenshin sent a few kunai into the air to block them. The went into all different directions and landed soon making the whole ground tremble as the paper notes that were attached to them went off. Kenshin jumped into the air after Kakashi, he struck out but just like Darko was stopped by some strange force. A large orb appeared around Kakashi. But it was soon demolished as Kenshin cracked through it.

Kenshin landed. He was slowly getting out of breath. Kakashi landed a hundred yards from him. He was also out of breath. There eyes both turned into the Mangekyou Sharingan simultaneously. “Now the real fight can begin with us using our strongest techniques.” Kakashi snickered. Both of them ran forward. But as if they were watch each others moves bones shot out of both there hands, blocking each others attacks.

Kenshin drew his left hand back then went to stab at Kakashi, Kakashi jumped up onto the bone sticking out of his hand and kicked Kenshin in the face. Kenshin arched over to the ground to brace himself. He kicked Kakashi in the back. Kakashi went forward into a tree. Kenshin laid on his back for a second then kicked off and got back to his feet. Kakashi started to make several hand signs. A bone began erecting out of his chest, Kenshin began to copy him seeing they had the same kekkai genkei it was as easy as watching Kakashi. The bone then was sent forward and struck each other down. Kakashi fell to the ground and Kenshin hit a rock, splitting it in half.
Before Kenshin could get back to his feet he hadn’t realized that Kakashi made a strand of hand signs again. He didn’t know what jutsu he was about to use until he realize Kakashi was drawing in a large breath, Kenshin immediately started making hand signs. Before Kakashi could release the jutsu the both did yet another jutsu at the same time. “FIRE STYLE, BLACK FLAME FIRE!” Both ends of the fire connected, but something latched onto Kenshin’s feet. He started sinking into the ground. The ninja fighting him previously was a shadow clone, the real Kakashi was under the ground.

The clone disappeared as Kakashi was pulling Kenshin below the ground. But to Kakashi’s amazement it was a clone as well. Kakashi jumped out of the ground and Kenshin landed back on the ground. They both started to press there hands together as an orb slowly spun around in there hands then a condensed and well made ball of energy appeared. They both ran at each other, “RASINGAN!” The blast sent both of them backwards. Kenshin and Kakashi attempted to stand up but both of them were so warn out at the moment, it was extremely hard.

Kakashi gave him the thumbs up. It was over. They both picked each other up, and walked back to the village half beaten to death and tired.


~~~~Next time~~~~

Part 1

Goodbye Brother


It had been two days after Kenshin’s and Kakashi’s fight. The village was blooming with happiness and joy.

Kakashi and Obito had gone out for a day of fishing alone. Silvercloud and Kenshin had gone out for some training. Sirion, Starcomand, and several other genin and chuunin had as well gone out for training, Sirion was training everyone while Star evaluated him. Sirion had been working hard lately for an Anbu Black ops position and was closer then ever to getting that.

Zabuza and Sniper had started to get themselves into dumb luck trouble here and there, but it was all fun and games. Many other chuunin and genin were out and about.

Hime, Phoenix, and Fluffy were doing there normal daily paperwork, assigning ninja to missions. Ignis was sitting in the tea shop eating her cinnamon roles. Drinking a new hot tea that she loved, but made her wired because of the amount of sugar she it held. They day had gone on, Kakashi had left Obito out fishing alone so that he could return home. Nintendo had actually caught up to Obito before hand so he stayed and fished with him for a while.

Obito had made his way back to the house. Several ninja stood outside the door. Silvercloud and Sarah had been in tears. Kane came up to Obito and laid his hand on his Obito’s arm. “Obito, Kakashi was found here earlier today by Ronin and rushed to the hospital, He is in a coma and unresponsive. There was no sign of an attack.” Obito collapsed to the ground, his heart beating hard. He got up and turned around but Kane stopped him. Obito pushed Kane off and rushed as fast as he could to the hospital.

Obito made it to the hospital without stopping once to catch his breath. When he got there a lot of people were sitting in the waiting room. Many of which were crying. Several people had come out of the room Kakashi was in. “STOP YOUR GOODBYES DAMN IT, HES NOT GOING TO DIE!” Obito burst into the room, Kakashi lay in a bed, a tube in his mouth pumping air into him. He had an IV hitched to his arm.

Hime stood there doing tests trying to see if she could help Kakashi in anyway. She looked up to notice Obito standing there. “Obito, Kakashi, hes…..”

“Don’t say it, or ill kill you.” Obito pointed to the door, and instantly Hime walked out. “Its ok brother, I’m here for you. I know nothings happening I bet your just not feeling well.”

Several days went by. Kakashi showed no signs of improvement. His breathing tube was removed when it was noticed he didn’t need an air tube. Kenshin had come in to see Kakashi, Obito sat there. “He hasn’t changed but he will be alright I know it.”

Kenshin nodded. “Yea.” Kenshin new in his mind that Kakashi was close to death, and Obito just didn’t want to admit it.

Though even though bad things were happening on one end, Bloodrose was having a blessing. She had just been in labor for several hours and gave birth to a beautiful baby. She had giving birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy. Madune sat in the room with her. Everyone now and then people would come in and say hi to the two and congradulate them.

Obito finally left Kakashi’s side. He went in and said hi as well. “Congratulations you two, I cant belive you had a baby. It seems like so much time has gone by.”

Madune laughed. “Yea we are happy it’s a bit unexpected but were happy.”

Kenshin walked into to see them as well around the time Obito did. “Well that baby is a blessing.”

Obito looked at him, “Yea that baby is a blessing, Besides when its time for something like this to happen you just got to let it happen.”

Kenshin looked down at Obito. “And sometimes it takes a while for someone to realize that.”

Obito was kinda shocked. “Yea.” At that point, Obito knew what he had to do.

He walked out of the room and down the hall. Kenshin soon followed. Several other people came out, Hime, Silvercloud, Banshee, and a few others behind them. Obito and Kenshin walked into Kakashi room.

Obito looked down at Kakashi. “I’m still not ready to do this, even though you were gone its going to be weird not having you around.” Obito took a deep breath. Kenshin looked down at Kakashi. “Remember the first time we fought Kakashi, I remember that.” Obito started to choke a little trying to talk. “ We had been training, and you hit me hard enough I started bleeding. But you helped me through it. And then you did the most amazing thing of all. You made me laugh.”

Kenshin stepped in. “For the last few days except the year you took off from us, you’ve been my roll model, but most of all you have been like a brother.” Both Kenshin and Obito started to cry a little.

Obito looked down at Kakashi, “I’m really going to miss you.” Obito bent down and kissed Kakashi on the forehead. He looked back up at everyone out in the hall way. He slowly walked with Kenshin’s arm over his shoulder. Obito couldn’t help but cry even though he was strong it was just to hard. You can ask a lot of people but sometimes people hold on just long enough for someone to say goodbye. Silvercloud gave Obito a hug, just then the monitor in the room went off. Kakashi had a small smile on his face. Obito collapsed on the ground crying. Kakashi had passed away seconds after they had said there goodbye.

Sirion walked in to were Kakashi lay nice and warm in the bed. “I never got to do this, and I didn’t want to wait till you passed, but I want to you to know, Hidden Leaf wont be the same again without you. Thank you Kakashi for helping me out on jutsu and taijutsu, I promise you I’ll work hard on what you said to me a long time ago.”

Sirion walked out past Obito and everyone else. “Thank you Sirion.” He tried hard to make a smile but was unable to.

That night several people stayed at Kenshin’s house, including Obito. The sat around sipping Sake.

The next morning was not easy. Everyone had dressed up in pure black outfits. Obito was the last to leave the house.

They had gone up to an area for the ceremony of Kakashi’s death. His coffin lay in front of several rows of chairs. There had been a picture in the back of Obito’s head that he had seen before, this looked exactly like the third Hokage’s funeral.

On top of the black and gold coffin lay a picture of Kakashi. One of few pictures anyone caught him smiling.

A man at the front caught everyone’s attention, he motioned to sit down. Everyone did so. “We are gathered here today in remembrance of a great ninja, and a great member of the hidden leaf village. Kakashi Kaguya Uchiha was a rare ninja you would see around here. He sacrificed himself to Sasochi one year ago, but then shed light on the village by returning. He is a ninja worthy of honor more times over. Those that have brought flowers please bring them forward now.”

A long line of ninja brought a stack of flowers forward and placed them on the top of the coffin. Obito sat back down in his seat, a tear forming in both eyes.

“Kakashi has left three of his possessions behind that he would like to give to everyone. Kenshin Uchiha and Obito Uchiha. Get the first of the possessions but they will be given at the end. As for the larger possession. Kakashi invested money into all five of the main nations around the world. In his will he left a share of money to each family of the village. That family will receive one hundred thousand dollars each.” Everyone was rather shocked at this, how Kakashi in such a short time made so much money. This ceremony is over, will both Kenshin and Obito come forward.”

Everyone started to leave, as Kenshin and Obito came up. “In the will Kakashi left you both with something very valuable that actually needs to be surgically inserted into your bodies. Kakashi left you each one of his eyes, he said that he found something more powerful then ever while using them. He also found out that by him giving you two his eyes that you will attain more power then most people could imagine.”

Hime stood nearby. “When you two are ready I can perform the surgery, it will be quick and painless.” Obito and Kenshin nodded.

Far up on the hokages faces stood a figure that caught Kenshin’s attention but soon walked off. He knew it was Darko.

Darko started muttering things to himself. “It’s a damn shame I couldn’t kill you with my own two hands. No matter ill finish my other work soon enough.” With that Darko disappeared.

Later that day they both had come out of the surgery room looking as they had before. There had been no sign of cuts around the eyes or anything. The shook each others hand and walked off in separate directions.

Several weeks had gone by, Obito was hanging out with friends again and seemed a bit more cheerful then he had been.

Hime looked over the whole village. She gave Fate, Sirion, Sidious, and Akimoto a mission. The mission of the Red Orchid.

They had left the village about mid day. Ignis as well had a small mission outside the village that she was almost ready for.

Several hours had been past as Sirion’s team had been out on their mission. But already they had hit a cross road. Several ninja had been sitting up ahead. There head bands weren’t noticeable. The team split up and surrounded the ninja. Sirion signaled to everyone using hand signs. Kibamaru sank into the tree bark and disappeared. Fate had as well disappeared from Sirions sight.

Even though they thought they had snuck up on the ninja blindsided. A kunai shot up into the air inches from hitting Sidious’s face. Akimoto took a large leap out of the tree’s he slowly fell down into the middle of all the ninja, as he fell his large cloak and robe he was wearing fluttered in the wind. So much so that the ninja didn’t realize he was making hand signs.
Sidious launched a counter attack and threw several kunai down making sure not to hit Akimoto. Akimoto had just finished the hand signs as the kunai were about to make contact. “Shadow Shuriken Jutsu.” The kunai shot down everywhere.

The ninja had dodged them all as if it was a joke. Fate came shooting out from behind a bunch of trees nearest to the ninja. Her Byakugan eye’s pin pointing each of their chakra points. She bent down slightly. “Gentle fist art, eight trigrams, three hundred and sixty palm!” She started to strike at each of the ninja around her. When she finished she was happy up until the point that she found out each one was a shadow clone.

Sirion stood up in the tree. “Damn, how can we fight someone that is always one step ahead of us. Uuuh.” Sirion felt a presents behind him. A ninja had pulled out a sword and lightly touched Sirion’s back. “Goodbye.” The ninja pulled back the sword and then swung it forward. He was soon lifted off the tree branch by Kibamaru.

“Thanks boy.” The dog looked at him wagging his tail. Sirion and Kibamaru jumped down from the tree tops. “Alright boy, I know there around her somewhere.” Sirion tossed a small round pill at Kibamaru, Kibamaru grabbed it and swallowed. Sirion took one as well. “Alright boy, I got this side you go that one, FANG OVER FANG!” Kibamaru jumped into the air and began spinning around, he crashed through the surrounding area breaking down tree’s and rocks.

Sirion hunched over like he was turning into a dog, “Ninja art beast mimicry. All force jutsu!” Sirions, nails began to grow out and his canine teeth grew as well. The ninja they had been fighting were left out in the opening thanks to Kibamaru. Sirion disappeared and re appeared in front of one of the ninja. His fingertips stuck inside the ninja’s chest. “Oooh so sorry.” Sirion snarled at him, ripping his claws out blood sprayed a little, but didn’t touch Sirion because he had already disappeared. He then reappeared beside yet another one of the ninja, his foot in the ninja’s temple. The ninja fell over slightly but picked himself up slightly. Sirion moved so fast he was able to crawl under the ninja and kick out his arm before he could stand back up.

Fate had gotten back in the game. She had hold of one of the female ninja. She grabbed hold of her hair and began repeatedly punching her in the face. “Why bother using a jutsu when I can just pulverize my meat!” Though holding her was only temporary. The girl grabbed hold of Fate’s hair, lunged forward and head butted Fate three times. Both of them flung themselves backwards and collided with each other at the head.
Sidious had several ninja in his sights. “Interesting.” He made a hand sign with one of his hands, and a different hand sign with the other. He brought his left hand to his lips, breathing in deeply. Then released a fire ball the size of a truck or bigger. The other hand had begun drawing water up into the air. “Fusion Ninja art. Fire water combo, PYRO DRAGON!” Just as he finished the phrase a large dragon appeared in the fire, water swirled around it letting off steam everywhere.

Akimoto as well had begun his fight. Five ninja against him. They all surrounded him. “Ooooh, five against one. I find it highly unfair and a disadvantage for you.”

One of the ninja began to laugh. “You’re a joke, no wonder why Lord Darko sent us after a bunch of idiotic leaf ninja.”

Akimoto grinned but that grin disappeared, “Idiotic am I.” Akimoto began making hand signs as he ran forward. One ninja attempted to strike out, but Akimoto’s cloak got in the way. Akimoto started mumbling something to himself. “Forbidden art, illusionist jutsu.” Akimoto continued to run forward, suddenly fazing through the ninja. Akimoto spun around really fast pushing the ninja forward and onto the ground. Two ninja came onto his side, they both attempted to punch him but only fazed through and hit each other. Akimoto sank into the ground then rose out next to another ninja, he grabbed his arm and flung him as hard as he could into the leader. “Now for the grand finish”. Akimoto began making more hand signs. “Forbidden art, dark creatures.” Out of each and every shadow, a small tentacle like thing rapped itself around one of the ninja. “Genjutsu, got to love it.” The ninja began screaming, stabbing there kunai into the nothingness. Akimoto swept pasted the ninja, grabbing Fate and knocking the other female unconscious.

Sirion was surrounded by several ninja himself. His eyes turned a yellow green. Kibamaru out of nowhere landed in front of Sirion. The ground trembled from the power the large dog had. Sirion looked around for a second. “I count eleven.” He then in one large flash of speed ran around kicking, punching, biting, and stabbing the ninja. He appeared in the same place he had been originally standing in. “Alright Kibamaru. Ill finish this once and for all with you. Ninja art, human Mimicry.” Kibamaru turned into a copy of Sirion. “FANG OVER FANG!” Both Sirion and Kibamaru spun around crashing into each and every ninja.

Sidious was having fun with the pyro dragon, it swept through killing off several ninja at once. Akimoto appeared next to him, setting Fate down. “Funs over, let’s go.”

Everyone caught up to Sirion, Akimoto signaled to move out. “Before more ninja come, we need to move.”

Sidious had glanced up once to notice an object blocking part of the sun, but suddenly just vanished.

Ignis had begun her mission at the time the fight had begun. She was out in the country just walking across a large field. She grabbed a scroll on her back, bit her finger and moved it across the scroll. She looked around for a second. Jumping into the air she made a hand sign just missing getting grabbed by a ninja from underneath.
Several small puppets came out of the scroll. Ignis landed back on the ground. She started making more hand signs now. “Ninja art, Puppet life.” The puppets came to life and started attacking on their own accord.
She dodged to one side as a senbon went flying across her, she realized it had a poison tip on it, a dark purple liquid dripped down onto the top layer of the skin. She felt it go numb within seconds. “I wish things were easy, every frigin mission I go on seems to have some sort of complications.”
She grabbed several small pouches from inside a sack on her side, the pouches were attached to a string with a hook at the end. She handed ten of her puppets a pouch. They all ran forward, in an almost giving gesture they attempted to hand the ninja one of the pouches, but when the ninja refused the puppet grabbed hold of them and stuck the pouch on to the ninja without their notice. Ignis moved her right hand in front of her face, the pouches exploded. “I’ve never tried those before, but kick ass.”
A ninja had appeared behind her, she duct in enough time to miss a punch to the back of her head. “Got to be better than that bud.” She grabbed onto his bulky arm and flung him over her shoulder. A bunch of her Puppets jumped into the air and grabbed him.
It had seemed like the good seventeen ninja had been beaten and Ignis could go back onto her mission. But just as she started turning a ninja slowly walked into the battlefield. “Impressive., I never thought someone could beat that many ninja so easily.” The ninja had a very shaky feeling. He had his entire body covered in armor. He placed his hand up into the air. “Summoning jutsu!” A large black sword, about ten feet in length, that had too of weighed in around a ton appeared.
“Let us begin, I’m sure we both have pressing matters to attend to.” He swung the sword with one hand, it came crashing down right next to Ignis, Ignis had just dodged it from hitting her. The ground in caved. Ignis looked down, her eyes open wide, sweat running down her face.
“If I had taken that hit I would have died.” Ignis’s puppets attempted to attack but nothing happened, with the armor the ninja had on it was impossible to lay a single scratch on him. He didn’t even pay attention to the small creatures, he lifted the sword back up into the air and swung to the side of him, cutting through the air like nothing. Ignis had jumped into the air just before the sword could hit her yet again. The tree’s in the background were cut clean in half. Ignis turned around for a split second to see what he had done.
“That’s really impressive. But it’s my turn.” He yet again swung his sword but stopped abruptly in the spot Ignis had just been in. “TO BAD YOUR WEARING THAT ARMOR, MUST BE SCARED TO FIGHT.” Ignis ran across the blade of the sword. She appeared right in front of the large ninja. He went to go punch her with his free hand, but no matter what he couldn’t grab her, she had been moving to fast. The training with Nintendo helped a lot. She jumped backwards off the sword.
His sword brimmed an evil cold ora. It started to turn into a yellow’ish chakra. He lifted the sword. Then as he swung down before he had even hit the ground everything around them began to tremble. He hit the ground, creating a crater. The back of Ignis’s shirt was on fire from the power. She sat there patting it out. The large ninja came running at her at an un normal fast rate. Ignis dodged to the side as he landed yet another earth shaking strike from the sword.
Ignis grabbed onto the sword and tried to tug it away. He let go just to amuse her. She dropped the handle almost immediately. “HOW THE HELL?!?”
“Its over ten thousand pounds, sorry little girl.”

“Why do you hide behind that armor? Scared of being scratched?”

“Oooh no my dear. It’s the fact that it protects who ever I’m fighting to not get hurt as badly. As well I have scars on my whole body.”

“Lets see it then, take off that armor if your not afraid.”
The ninja looked at her threw the small openings of the eye holes. “So be it.” He slowly took off the armor, but as he did so a dark chakra seeped out, it was a dark blue chakra. The more he took off the armor the more his chakra radiated off him. “Shall we continue?”

Ignis looked at him, she was unable to move.

“I want to tell you, I come from the five ninja gods. Darko is our leader now. Funny enough im the weakest of us all. But even so ill crush anyone that tries to attack me. My name is Bui. I use to live some time ago, I died and was reincarnated into this body.”

Ignis flung another scroll out as fast as she could. She didn’t even press blood across it. A large puppet came out, dressed in a black and red outfit. “I cant believe this, time for you to die. Again if that’s the case!” Ignis ran forward, the puppet itself started to make hand signs. “Ninja art, dark puppetry.” Ignis’s chakra threads controlling the puppet turned black. The puppet hit Bui, but no affect. He grabbed the puppet and ripped both its arms off. Ignis looked into Bui’s cold dark red eyes.

“I told you, no one can stop me.” Bui ran forward slamming his body into Ignis. Ignis was sent flying back as a small patch of blood went through the air, she had spit up a large amount which splattered across the ground.

Ignis attempted to get up but she realized three of her ribs were broken. She grabbed another scroll and placed it across the ground. Three puppets came out of it, the black ant, the crow, and a new puppet the trump. “They wont do much but I might be able to hold him off.” She sent the crow forward crashing into Bui, Bui ran through the crow like nothing, the Crow fell into pieces. The Black ant attempted to capture Bui but was flawed, the hatch wasn’t large enough to hold Bui in place. “God damn it, what are you?”

“Your worst nightmare.” Bui continued to run forward, but was suddenly stopped by the Trump. The trump was a puppet of what looked to be skin, it had a human like figure and was similar in size to Ignis. The puppet however was made out of a indestructible metal, the joints in its body were melted in place, so no matter what Bui did he couldn’t disconnect the joints from there sockets. The Trump latched onto Bui and started draining his chakra. “This is your way to fight, using puppets?” Bui grabbed hold of the puppet. He threw it as hard as he could, it hit a tree and didn’t move. “It’s the end for you.”

Ignis looked up into the sky, “If I don’t do something now its over.” Ignis stumbled to her feet. She ran forward, she punched Bui in the stomach. Bui grabbed hold of her arm, with his right hand he drove it into the inside of her arm. A loud crack scared her to death as she looked down and saw that part of her bone was sticking out. Bui picked her up and threw her hard into a tree far across the large field. Just as he slowly started walking across the field to the now unconscious Ignis, something stuck him in the face, stomach, chest, and kidney.

Suddenly a figure appeared in front of him. “Sorry I don’t take kindly to those that hurt my friends.” Nintendo pulled off a large cloak. “Shall I pick up were she left off?”

“Oooh, it seems you might actually be stronger then her, so sure.”

Nintendo ran forward, both Bui and Nintendo got into an arm lock. Nintendo’s chakra started to pour out of him like Bui, he slowly picked Bui up into the air and then dropped him onto the ground as hard as he could. Then he jumped into the air, as he descended he spun around several times then landed, crushing his left leg into Bui’s stomach.

“UUUUUUH.”

Nintendo walked over to Ignis, Bui slowly got back to his feet without a scratch on him. Nintendo picked Ignis up, he set her back down using chakra he slowly repaired her arm as best as he could, slipping the bone back into place and closing the wound. “How sick, hurting a female in the one thing that she can use so well. I wont let you leave here alive.” Nintendo pulled up his sleeves and his pant legs. He took off four weights that read one Mega set.

Bui looked at him stunned. –“All four of his weights were heavier then all mine put together. One Mega is one million pounds. I stand no chance against him like this.”- but just as Bui’s hopes got up, Darko appeared next to him.

“God your weak, its Nintendo, he’s a joke. Go back to the castle now!” Bui just nodded and disappeared. “Now as for you Nintendo, Lets finish this coral” Darko ripped his shirt off, when he did his muscles grew in size, making him double in size just like when he fought Kakashi.

“I don’t care how strong you are Darko, the bigger they are the harder the FALL!!!” Nintendo moved faster then sound, striking Darko in the chest. Nothing happened. Darko looked at him.

“What was that suppose to be?”

Nintendo disappeared, leaving a small indent in the ground, he appeared in the air, his right foot in the side of Darko’s left temple. Darko grabbed his foot and threw him over a thousand yards away. Nintendo looked at him. “Alright then, Ill take this to the next level.” Nintendo hunched over slightly, his arms at his sides, he started to draw in a large amount of chakra now. His hair turned a feral red. He disappeared and then reappeared next to Darko in less then a second. “Yup, I like this speed.”

“So you learned a new trick, well ill show you my full power then.” Darko did the same thing as Nintendo. But his hair turned a jet black and grew out several inches. “This is the power of the floating castle, it’s a gift that the castle held with in it. I will now use the power that its granted me.” Nintendo and Darko clashed with each other, both punch the others hand. The power was so enormous that the entire area around them began to shake.
“I see, our power levels are even, Darko you amaze me.”

Darko snickered. “You amaze me, on how naive you are. I am much stronger then you, if you hadn’t noticed.” Darko began pushing down on Nintendo. The power was so hard that Nintendo started sinking into the ground trying to brace himself. Nintendo had no other option, He Lifted his leg and kneed Darko in the chest. With the split second offense he disappeared, picking up Ignis and his weights then running back to the village.

By the time he made it back to the village, the taijutsu had warn in, he was feeling the tension from taking the weights off and using such fast speed. Both his legs muscles snapped and he fell to the ground just before making it to the hospital.

A small crew of ninja rushed out hearing his distress calls. They picked him up and Ignis, they brought them both into the hospital, there treatments went really well. But Ignis was not responding, she was unconscious, Nintendo was already in full recovery.

Hime walked into the room Ignis was in. “Girl, you did good. I know the mission was lost, but you will be fine soon. Iv sent Kenshin out on a mission to get a herb that blooms once a year, your lucky that the time for it to bloom is with in the next few days.” She put her hand on Ignis’s head.

Ignis’s wounds wern’t fully healed because the herb that Hime needed wasn’t in stock. But the herb would stop any infection, heal her wounds, and fix all the bones in her body to knew. The problem was she had to fight the pain for the next few days while Kenshin went out after the herb.

Hime looked at Kenshin. “Your mission is to head to the bird country. From there, there is a small village in the center of the country, if you head north there is small mountains that have something called Silver mint. It’s a silver leaf plant that is a strong mint, It will be able to heal Ignis’s but you must hurry, the mint only comes out once in a year then dies.”

“Can I have a bike?”

Hime laughed. “You know were they are, hey take Faia with you, im sure she would love the ride and a mission.”

“Alright Hime.” He smiled. “Watch Ignis for me.”

“Also be careful, Darko is lurking around every corner. And this Bui guy, he seems to have an unusual chakra that can poison people. As you have seen with Ignis. There is supposedly three more of them.

~~~Next Time~~~

Sirions team has difficutly getting the Red Orchid, When yet another of Darko’s assassins come out of the shadows.

Kenshin and Faia begin there mission undercover. But they soon find out the Bird country is under the control of Bui. When he arrives there, it’s a take it or risk it to get the Silver Mint.

~~~Ignis, The Mint of Life~~~

Awesome update Kakashi =) Seems like I have some power to show still

Faia and Kenshin were under way now. There motorcycles brand new, jet black with a red strip going across the gas tank. Getting to the bird country was the easy part of the journey, but finding the Silver leaf in time was going to be hard. Along with the complications that lay ahead from Darko. Anything was up for grabs now.

Sirion and his team moved during the cover of the night, the red Orchid was far below the fire country and well into the tea country. It was a risky time either night or day but they had enough shadow’s that they could move fast. Kibamaru was a very large dog, Sirion had felt sleepy from taking the food pill so he road on the back of Kibamaru.

Akimoto lead the group, passing signals using his hand. Fate just watched intently.
They had made it far past the boarders of the fire country at that point, even with the hold up. Sidious was having a hard time trying not to fall asleep. The pyro water dragon isn’t an easy jutsu to control for even some of the best ANBU.

Akimoto made a sudden signal to stop. Everyone stopped on a very large branch, the sudden halt woke Sirion.

“Were are right outside the Fishing Village. We have already passed the boarders of Fire and Tea. Our mission is to get the Red Orchid, and from what Hime has specified the Orchid should be on a small island out from the fishing port.”

Sirion took over command. “Alright, let’s move on the boards of this village. As to not startle any of the villagers and begin a war.” It took nearly five minutes to get alongside the village and out to the water ports. A ship had been moving slowly along the water as the group stopped. Its spotlights scanning the area. Sirion made the signal to move out, they ran across the water surface as best as they could. But because of Fate’s inexperience of water walking, she had to be carried by Akimoto.

Several paper bombs stopped them from stepping foot on the island, a large figure stood on the shore line. Akimoto shifted to one side, “Fate hold on really tight or you will fall off.” Akimoto began making hand signs, he jumped into the air, as he descended he slowly fell back into the water. They went out of sight.

Sirion started to make hand signs as Kibamaru ran forward towards the person they were fighting. “Alright Kibamaru, Ninja art of beast mimicry, SHADOW INAZUKA JUTSU!” Almost immediately Kibamaru multiplied, “Good, now boy, Fang over fang.” All the shadow clones began spinning around then hit the person ahead. But with no luck, the ninja pushed off them and started running at Sirion.

Sirion attempted to jump into the air but was pulled back down and slammed into the hard cold ground below.

The ninja went after Sidious now.
Sirion stood back up and looked at the ninja. Thanks to his stamina the blow didn’t hurt so badly, but even so he was feeling some after effects. Sirion began running forward. “I guess it’s time for the old fashioned high speed taijutsu. FANG OVER FANG!” Sirion collided with the ninja. Yet again, no damage.
Akimoto came shooting out of the water without Fate on his back. The large cloak he was wearing was completely dry, and flapping behind him. He began descending as he made hand signs. He crashed into the ground as if he suddenly weighed more than before.

“Ninja art, level twenty gravity.” Akimoto stood up now, everyone around him was unable to move. “How do you like my secret ninjutsu. The Gravity jutsu, I can make it so it’s so heavy, you can’t even move, and even heavy enough to were you die.”

The ninja slowly moved towards Akimoto, Sirion attempted to get up but with no luck. “Sirion don’t bother, if you try getting up in this gravity and collapse with the ground, you are most certain to die, let me handle this.” Akimoto removed the large cloak, revealing a set of steal weights. “Some of the best training in the world I think.” Akimoto removed the weights to reveal large scars, puncture wounds, and many other old injuries.

Sirion did his best to keep his eyes opened and looking at Akimoto. –“What he’s put himself through. The battles he must have been in.”-

“Now don’t get me wrong, these wounds I have. But I haven’t had an injury in years.” The ninja looked at him with deep heavy eyes as he continued to move forward.

“Allow me to introduce myself, I am Haji. One of five hidden assassins. Under lord Darko. But all your efforts are in vain.” Haji ran forward and began pummeling Akimoto into an oblivion. Akimoto suddenly stopped a punch to the stomach.

“I told you, this isn’t your fight to win. Now be a good boy and die for me.”
Haji looked at him, without saying a word he started to gather energy. His muscles expanding. “My true form.” Akimoto shuttered a little when he saw the big muscled Haji standing in front of him.
“Alright then I’ll kick it up a notch.” Akimoto began doing the same thing that Haji did. But his muscles didn’t expand like Haji’s.


Kenshin and Faia had checked into a hotel in the Bird country to stay at for the next few days. But something was troubling both of them. A strange aura sat in the air, the foul smell of death approaching.
Kenshin had fallen asleep fairly fast but Faia didn’t feel at ease enough to do so. Something came crashing threw the roof. Faia looked up as debris started to fly everywhere. Kenshin however was no longer in the room. He was on the bottom floor with part of the bed under him. Bui stood with his fist in Kenshin’s gut. “I figured someone from the hidden leaf was here, I didn’t actually think someone had the guts to do it though.”

Kenshin began to let out a small cry of pain but began lifting Bui off of him. “Bui, a rouge ninja hailing from the land of Waves. MANGEKYOU SHARINGAN!” Faia began to jump down the large hole that Kenshin and Bui had made in the hotel. The battle carried on outside and into a large river. Faia had an issue catching up. But as things seemed helpless then Bui had a few tricks up his sleeve to deal with both of them.

“FAIA GET OUT OF HERE NOW!”

Faia looked at him. She closed her eyes and then re-opened them in the Mangekyou Sharingan. “I’m not letting you have all the fun.” She started running forward as a small orb of chakra built up in her hand.
Bui turned around just as she began picking up speed, “Water clone jutsu!” Water clones of Bui began springing up everywhere. Kenshin started to look around frantically. “God…… Damn……. Him…….” Kenshin’s eyes began circling around as a small warp effect started to kill off the clones. “It’s a new Sharingan move iv learned.”

Bui snarled and slowly sank below the water surface. Kenshin was dragged under seconds later. Faia let off the attach she was about to use. She was soon after pulled under as well. Kenshin began fighting Bui under the water trying to hold his breath. Bui’s clone however had begun its attack on Faia. This clone wasn’t like any other, every hit that was landed on it, didn’t make it disappear like a normal clone.
Faia finally did an over head attack doing her best to send Bui below into the depths of water. Kenshin kicked off Bui and swam back up for air as fast as he could, but was soon pulled off the top of the water once again.

-“If this continues im going to drown, what would Kakashi do.”- Kenshin thought hard as he tried to hold off Bui. Faia had brought her battle up onto land now.

“It’s a forbidden jutsu, Bui’s power was cut in half and put into two separate bodies.”
“Very good little girl, time to die though.” Bui ran forward knocking Faia into a rock. She crept out of it fairly fast.

“I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but sadly that kind of attack won’t have an effect on me. I’m not your average girl, I’m stronger then you think.”

“By all means show me then.” Bui ran forward, Faia stopped a double punch by grabbing the upper arm. Bui put his hands on Faia’s shoulders instead. There power completely even, even with Faia’s size. Faia’s Sharingan started to go wild now, but then suddenly disappeared behind the blue and black eyes she had. “I don’t need Sharingan anymore.” Faia kicked off Bui, she then sped up and started to rapidly beat on his stomach.
Bui grabbed her arm in mid punch. “No no no, you silly little girl, I’m far stronger then you, giving you a little head way was a joke.” He picked up Faia and flopped her over his head. He grabbed her leg and started to stretch her out.
“UUUUUUH, AAAAAAAAH, ERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.” Kenshin pushed of the Bui he was fighting, he swam as fast as he could to the surface for air once again. This time he was able to climb up onto the water. Bui started to swim up. Kenshin made several fire style hand signs. “Here have this instead Bui, FIRE STYLE, DRAGON FLAME JUTSU!” The blast shot down into the water hitting Bui head on. Kenshin turned around and began running at Faia. He kneed Bui in the stomach. Bui dropped Faia.
Faia took several deep breaths, blood trickling from her mouth. The Bui from the water jumped out and stood next to his counterpart. The fused back into each other. Kenshin’s Sharingan was spinning around frantically. “How long did you know Faia?”
“The time you got into the water up till now.” She took a deep breath, “It’s a fusion ninjutsu I don’t know. Nothing I’ve ever seen before.”
“I think were going to have to find a different way to beat him, it seems high speed taijutsu doesn’t work.” He patted Faia on the shoulder, “Just stay here, ill deal with him.”


Akimoto was trying to hold his own. “Ninja art, fifty power gravity.” Haji was having a harder time to move. Akimoto moved his hands to his chest the best he could. “This should do, only me and you will be effected by the jutsu, I need the training anyways.” Sirion got to his feet.

“Foolish boy, Don’t under estimate what you can’t understand, my power is far more then you can handle.”
Akimoto looked into Haji’s eyes. He took several steps forward, “This jutsu puts a strain on my body, who knows how long I can keep this condensed but whatever it takes to beat you.
Akimoto jumped into the air and came crashing down on Haji’s neck. Haji grabbed Akimoto with one arm then swung his other arm around, he began to give him something like a bear hug, squeezing the life out of Akimoto to his best.
Akimoto struggled for several seconds, then kicked off Haji. He flipped backwards and landed gracefully. He ran forward rushing past Sirion, then swept in with his right foot, trying to knock Haji down but unsuccessful. He looked over at Sidious who was now getting to his feet.
“I can’t fight with this stupid barrier up. RELEASE!” The energy field bearing down on Akimoto and Haji was released. “Let’s see how we do like this instead.” Haji ran forward, he dodged to Haji’s blind spot and hit him in the spine.
Haji let out a small cry but then retaliated by hitting Akimoto in the back of the head with his elbow.
Akimoto flipped over Haji’s shoulder and straight in front of Haji. He jumped into the air and leaned his head forward enough, giving Haji a good hit to the head with a head butt.
Haji was a bit shuttered by the hit to the head. But soon bounced back, he punched Akimoto in the stomach before he had time to land and dodge. Akimoto was sent flying backwards from the force.
Sirion jumped up. “AKIMOTO!” Kibamaru and Sirion began spinning around and aimed there attack directly at Haji. “FANG OVER FANG!” Haji put his fist up in the air blocking the attack from both of them.
Akimoto slowly got to his feet. –“I think I understand how we can beat him, it seems he can’t block a bunch of direct attacks unless he knows what they’re going to do. He can’t dodge all of us, or block all of us with those bulky muscles.”- “ALRIGHT GUYS GET READY!”
Almost as if on signal Fate came flying out of the water, She had a large amount of chakra built up in her left hand. Sirion and Kibamaru began their rotation again. Sidious pulled out what appeared to be a large pair of scissors from a scroll he had. Akimoto began running full force at Haji. Everyone collided with Haji at the exact same time. Each causing some kind of unblock able hit. Haji forced all of them off him. A small amount of blood trickled down from parts of his body.
-“This beating is too much for me to handle right now.”- Haji made several hand signs and disappeared behind a cloud of smoke. But just before he did Akimoto noticed Haji had become what looked to be an average sized person, not the bulky person he was.

Kenshin went running forward, but just as he did Bui looked up into the sky, -“Lord Darko, why of all times did you call me now.”- Haji jumped into the air and just vanished. Kenshin paused for a second looking around, but nothing.
He looked back at Faia. “I don’t know, when you started running at him he just left.” Faia then dropped her head slightly cause something caught her attention. “There it is! The Silver mint!” Kenshin had been standing a foot away from a small plant that had several small silver leafs on it. He picked on and rubbed his fingers all over it, then smelt them. “Yea its mint by far. This stuff is potent.”
Faia ran over to him, then began picking a bunch of it. “Let’s get heading back to the leaf village, I don’t want any more confrontations.”
Kenshin nodded to her.

Akimoto picked Fate back up, followed by Sirion, Kibamaru, and Sidious, they all went running across the bay as fast as they could. A strange bright glow in the dark caught their attention. “It’s the red Orchid.” Sirion pointed out. “Its smell is so foul, I can smell it from here.” Akimoto grabbed one flower and contained it within a jar.
“We need to get going now, before more trouble comes.”
It took over several hours for everyone to make it back and report to Hime. Kenshin was first to report what himself and Faia had just been through. “Hime I have reason to believe that Darko is controlling more than one area then this supposed floating castle of his.” Akimoto rushed in soon after.
“Tsunade Hime, Darko has more than one person on his alliance. We just met up with another one of his cronies.”
“This isn’t good, it seems Darko has learned of far more powers then Sasochi ever did. Alright you guys, I’ll be giving you a new mission soon enough, I however need time to prep it for you. So for now I’m asking you deal with your daily life and I’ll call you when I’m ready.”

~~~NEXT TIME~~~
Ignis’s gets her treatment in time and begins her recuperation. Nothing is seen of Darko for some time, but Hime sends several skilled ninja on their next mission to investigate the castle he supposedly rains in. All goes wrong when they actually find the castle in the sky but soon there escape from the dreaded hell Darko has now created will begin.
~~~~Darko’s Floating Castle, The new Hell~~~~
