16 ..... (2/2)

”C-can you actually do that?” Anko asked rubbing her neck.

I nodded, ”I can try,” I turned to Misu, ”with your help.”

The Uzumaki woman nodded, ”I'll help where I can. Might as well show Konoha how grateful I am by helping one of their own.”

”Right,” I smiled and looked at Anko, ”I have a mission tomorrow, I don't know how long I'll be gone, but I'll talk to the Hokage and try to fix something up for you.”

Anko smiled, ”thank you!” she leaped hugging me tightly by shoving my head between her breast, ”you're the best!”

I grinned, 'Oh GOD YES! I love this! I should be nicer to people more often!'

The Next Day:

After her examination Anko stayed for an hour, arguing with Naruto about which was better, ramen or dango. Obviously the two morons enjoyed making such a stupid argument. Anko may be hot, but boy is she dumb.

I arrived at the Hokage's office right on time and waited for him to finish up with his previous meeting. The doors open and a man I was weary off walked out. He had his right eye bandaged, his right arm tucked away and walked with a cane. He had an 'X' shaped scar on his chin and a deadly presence about him.

Danzo Shimura, The Root

Lv- 86

REP- 56

He looked at me, and I looked back. He bowed, an action I copied. He then said nothing as he walked away, tapping his cane. I looked at his back and activated my red eyes. I could see the uchiha implants on his right arm and under his bandaged right eye. It was...pervers.

”Yami, please, go in,” the Hokage's assistant called out. I deactivated my eyes and walked inside, closing the door behind me.

”Yami, sorry about making you wait,” Hiruzen sighed as he puffed his pipe, ”that was….a difficult meeting.”

”That man was Danzo Shimura yes?” I asked.

The Hokage nodded, ”yes, my old friend.”

”He still had black hair, how old could he be?”

Sarutobi smiled, ”I suspect he dyes it, would never admit it though.”

I saw a chance to expose the man, I could claim that I could sense the first Hokage's chakra inside of him, or maybe even the sharingan eyes but...if Sarutobi hasn't done anything about Danzo by now, chances are he never will.

I cleared my throat, ”right...the mission sir?”

”First we appeal to the Fire Daimyo,” the Hokage said as he got up from his chair, causing five ANBU agents to come to his side immediately, ”we shall be leaving by two today,” he motioned me over as we left his office, the ANBU following us closely, ”be ready for a difficult journey, you'll be making few stops and traveling at chunin speeds.”

I smirked, ”I think I can handle it.”

The Hokage returned that smile, ”yes, of course. I'll be coming along with elders Mitokado and Utatane separately, you and the ANBU team will go on ahead and protect the Fire Daimyo and his court, escorting them to an agreed upon location. Eagle,” he motioned for an ANBU member wearing an Eagle mask, ”have Yami ready, he'll be serving as a gaurd.”

”Yes Lord Hokage,” Eagle bowed as he stepped back.

”Yami, you are not allowed to reveal you identity under any circumstances unless ordered too understood?” the Hokage stopped by the door.

”Yes. But what if I'm forced to use the Flying Thunder God jutsu to protect the client?” I asked.

”Exceptions can be made. And do not use your scorch release of swift release if you can help it. I don't want the Daimyo to think you are our only trump card,” he ordered, ”dismissed.”

Do you accept?

Y/N?

I accepted the mission and nodded. I then turned to the ANBU who to motioned me to follow them. They lept out an open window and I quickly followed them.

As we hopped along the village roof tops I stopped to realise just how much slower they all were when compared to me. I found myself having to slow down to let them lead. Maybe it was because they didn't want to use their full strength right anyway, or maybe it was because they were just slow.

We made it to a tall ten story building near the edge of the village. It was a fortress, obviously the ANBU headquarters. They directed me into a large vent on the roof and motioned me inside. I guess that meant this was the actual entrance they used.

The vents were a maze, I had to cut to fit in and follow them through, memorising the vent's pathway. They finally opened a gate and I dropped down into what looked like a looker room with a wall filled with masks.

”Here,” Eagle, who I'm guessing was a guy, pointed at a locker, inside of which was the standard ANBU uniform.

ANBU uniform, A rank

Uniform worn by Konoha's elite ninja squad.

+20% to stealth

Durability- 300/300

Damn, the bonus is nice, but the durability was shit. My jonin jacket has the same stats. I sighed as I quickly took off my coat, vest and then armour. The ANBU squad didn't bother looking away as I stripped to my boxers.

I took out my daggers, pouches of poison, kunai and shuriken pouches and sealing materials before sealing my armour into a storage scroll. I then put on the ANBU uniform, it fitted my small frame perfectly, guess they knew I was coming.

The flak jacket was grey and extended down to my groin. Instead of half sleeve going from my wrist to my elbow, my entire arm was covered. I strapped a tanto onto my back, an unfamiliar weapon, but whatever, and put on my face mask on.

I then loaded my new uniform with all my neat little toys, not to mention the sealing cloth I had wrapped around my arms and legs. When I was done I turned to Eagle, ”do I have to carry the damn blade? It's not my style. I haven't even trained with one before.”

”You haven't ever trained with a tanto before?” a Puma mask wearing ANBU scoffed, ”how did you ever manage to become a Tokubetsu jonin?”

I looked up at her name;

Garumo Holo, ANBU

Lv- 73

REP- 32

”That's simple Ms. Holo, by being clever,” I smiled as I saw her twitch.

”H-how did you know my name?!” she cried out.

I shrugged, ”I'm special. Next time read the damn mission briefing you moron. I'm guessing you got one about me yes? And what I can do?”

”We were told you were a chakra sensor,” Eagle stepped in, ”not that you knew the identities of ANBU agents.”

I shrugged, ”a chakra signature is like a face, you don't forget it if you met them before,” I turned to Puma, ”and I don't forget.”

”Hehe, got you there Puma,” Spider snorted.

”Shut up!” Puma cried out.

”You don't have to wear the tanto, you may use any tools you are comfortable with,” Eagle supplied, ”come, it's time for your mask.”

He guided me to a framed wall of red velvet that had white ANBU mask hanging off hooks. There were so many hanging off the hooks, Eagle grabbed one with the features of a panda and tossed it to me.

I looked at the mask, it looked old and worn out, ”really? A panda?”

”It's tradition,” Eagle shrugged.

”Does that mean I'm ANBU now?” I asked as I put the mask on.

”Yes, for this mission alone,” Eagle nodded as we all moved back into the vents and out too the roof.

Eagle then began to use his hands to communicate, 'can you understand me?'

'Yes. Please continue.'

Eagle nodded, 'Objective: Reach Hono within the day and enter Daimyo's court. We will then escort them into the agreed upon location where the Hokage will be waiting.'

'What's the location?' I asked.

'Red Moon castle,' Spider replied.

'Right, move,' Eagle nodded as we all took off.

We didn't even have to stop by the gate to log out, we just left, rushing out of the gates at full speed. Well, full speed for them, a walk in the park for me. Ever since I put VIT into 100 I found myself faster than anyone else in the village. And if this squad is supposed to be known for their speed and I'm still kicking their ass, well then that's saying something.

Around noon time Eagle called for a break. Which confused me, 'I thought Hokage said no breaks?'

'Giving you time to catch your breath,' Eagle replied.

'I'm fine, let's continue,' I insisted.

'Don't be cocky kid,' Puma snorted, 'we don't want you half dead by the time we reach Hono.'

I snorted, 'I could have been in Hono right now if I wanted too. Believe me, I'm not considered the second Flash of Konoha for nothing. Let's continue.'

Monkey, the fourth member of our group, shrugged, 'he says he's fine, let's continue.'

'Agreed,' said Snake, the last member of the group.

'Fine,' Eagle nodded and with that we were off.

By seven that day Hoho was in our sights, and Puma was exhausted, I could tell. But her pride refused to let her stop. So we managed to reach the city and began the long climb up it's sloppy roads, to the very top where the Daimyo's castle rested.

We actually passed by Socio's castle, I could see the familiar gaurd movements on the compound walls. I actually stopped for a moment to try and look inside to see Moe, but Eagle urged me on, so I tore myself away and moved on.

We soon approached the castle and it's giant compound walls. The castle itself was huge, at least a hundred feet tall with a giant stone compound wall. The walls were red with red and gold lanterns covering the castle walls.

We were a block away when another squad of ANBU appeared before us. These guys wore red and gold instead of black and grey. They looked like an elite gaurd, even their masks were different. Bright red with numbers instead of animals to differentiate them.

”Are you S squad?” Number 1 asked;

Ro, Leader of the Daimyo protection detail

Lv- 71

REP- 50

”Yes,” Eagle stepped forward and presented a scroll to the man.

One took it and looked it over, he then looked over at me, ”you brought a Panda on this mission? Are you joking?”

”The Hokage himself assigned him to this squad, I assure you, this is no joke,” Eagle replied.

”Fine,” One tossed the scroll back, ”follow us. Keep up, Panda.”

”Right,” I decided to show off a little, using my max speed to leap forward and out run the entire protection detail, reach the compound walls in a burst of speed before they even got off the roof. I looked behind me at the shocked royal guards, ”coming or what?”

They ignored my bait as we all went into the castle. We followed One's lead, as instead of crawling in the darkness and ceiling, we walked on the ground like normal civilians, which confused me, but I'm guessing it's because they don't like to spook these nobles too badly.

We walked into the heart of the castle, One slid open the door slightly, walking into a room which was a grand hall. There were around fifty nobles, all sitting around a grand table that could seat a hundred.

And at the head was an old man in royal black clothes and the kanji for fire on his robes. On his head was a black head pieces that covered his hair and back. The man was old with beady eyes and a fan that he used to constantly hide his laughter.

One came forward and bowed before the man, ”my lord.”

”Oh, One, what's the matter?” the daimyo asked looking down.

”The ANBU lord Hokage sent are here,” One spoke as the rest of us came inside, allowing them all to take a good look at us. Eagle and the rest bowed, going down on one knee. Obviously I followed as well.

”Oh? This is the team Hiruzen sent? How pitiful,” the Daimyo scoffed, ”I had at least hopped that he would send someone proper, like Kakashi Hatake or even Ko Hyuga and his team. Moe dear, what was their names again? That genin team that saved your life and captured those awful Iwa ninjas?”

My head came up as I followed the Daimyo's line of sight. I found her, Moe, she hadn't change in the short time since I saw her, still the same blue hair put up in the nobel fashion. She wore a skin white kimono with red highlights and a lot of makeup on. I almost didn't recognize her.

”Their names were Zumo Sarutobi, China something and Yami,” her tone softened at my name, ”quite powerful genin, but obviously not ANBU level.”

”Hm, maybe, I heard that Yami boy became a jonin yes?” Daimyo hummned.

”Tokubetsu jonin lord Daimyo,” Eagle spoke.

”Hmm? What was that?”

”Yami, the member of team Ko, he was promoted to a tokubetsu jonin,” Eagle spoke as Puma turned to me and looked for a moment.

”Ah...is there a difference? Whatever, you ninja have your own odd rankings,” the Daimyo scoffed, ”anyway, since you arrived I suppose we might as well begin this awful journey. Where did Hiruzen wish to met again?”

”Red Moon castle my lord,” Eagle replied.

”That's a four hour journey,” the Daimyo sighed, ”you know what, it's too late, we'll go tomorrow.”

”B-but the Hokage expects us by tonight,” Eagle stuttered.

”Hmph, how can I leave now? It's the middle of the night! You expect me and my court to travel in such conditions?!” the daimyo scoffed.

”W-we must my lord, for your safety, as well as the fact that this is meeting is meant to be of the utmost secret,” Eagle said quietly.

”But-”

”Oh come now my lord,” lord Socio said with a smile, ”I'm sure your carriage is plenty comfortable enough. You can sleep away the journey like it was nothing!”

”But what about the courtiers?” the daimyo asked in a worried tone.

”We'll be alright my lord!” and enthusiastic man cried out, ”after all you will only be taking five of us! I'm sure if they all agree it won't be a problem.”

”I am willing,” one nodded.

”As am I,” another smiled.

”So am I,” a woman dressed in a tight purple kimono replied.

”And me,” Socio smiled, ”as well as my daughter,” Moe bowed.

”And I,” a tough looking man with battle scars growled.

The daimyo sniffed, ”I couldn't ask for a better court! You're all so selfless, to travel in such conditions! Truly you all deserve a round of applause!”

...was this a joke? Nope, it wasn't, they were actually clapping for themselves. Damn...so this is a nobel's court.

In an hours time they were ready to move out. A caravan of over one thousand armed soldiers escorted six carriages out of Hono. Each carriage was bigger than a poor man's house, and each lavishly decorated. The Daimyo rose in the center, surrounded by the most guards, while the other nobles rode around him, surrounded by the army.

The royal gaurd and my team however were on patrol duty, sent to the edges of the escort team to serve as a lookout. And since I was a sensor, I took the lead, making sure to clear the path for everyone behind me.

The mission, surprisingly enough, was over in a quick four hours. Nothing had gone wrong, no bandits, no rogue ninja. We arrived at the Blood Moon castle by midnight. And waiting for us already was the castle's lord and servants. And the Hokage.

”Ah! Lord Hokage! How have you been?!” the daimyo said as he fought back a yawn, sand still in his eye.

”Lord Daimyo,” the Hokage bowed, ”thank you for seeing me under such conditions. I understand if this was inconvenient.”

”Not to fear! With a court such as mine, the Land of Fire can face any obstacles!” the man chuckled as the Hokage guided him and his courtiers inside.

I followed Eagle's team as we entered the conference room at the distance. We watched from the corners of the room as the Elders of the Konoha council, the Hokage, the Daimyo and his court all sat down in front of a large table.

”So Hiruzen, what' this about?” the daimyo said as he began to fan himself.

”This is about Kiri and the civil war currently underway there,” Sarutobi replied.

The Daimyo blinked, ”you wish to interfere? That isn't like you Hiruzen.”

”Agreed lord Daimyo,” the female elder, Utatane nodded, ”I'm glad to see my old team mate finally taking some initiative.”

”What convinced you to change your mind lord Hokage?” the large warrior like nobel asked.

”A particular ninja who showed me that one needs to fight if they wish to bring about any semblance of peace in this world,” he smiled as his eyes came towards me for a moment before looking back at the daimyo.

”Alright...what do you need Hiruzen?” the daimyo asked.

And slowly the Hokage explained the entire issue to the lord, going slowly and explaining why it would be in Konoha's best interest to interfer. And when he was done the daimyo sighed, ”this sounds like so much effort, why do we have to bother? If they want to kill themselves they should just do it, fewer enemies for us to face.”

I couldn't help a growl escape my lips at the man's lack of human concern. This is the guy I'm supposed to obey?!

”That may be my lord, but you see by fighting in their war and supporting the resistance, we could help foster better relations with them, making them our allies,” the Hokage explained.

”We are already allied with Suna are we not?” Socio asked.

”That may be, but relations with them have been rocky to say the least,” Mitokado, the male elder of the council, replied, ”if we gain another ally in Kiri it would grant our more power.”

”And will serve as a warning to Suna to stay allies,” Utatane nodded, ”and if the resistance does end up losing, well then Konoha can serve as a haven for all the bloodline users that are persecuted.”

”Giving us more clans,” the purple clad lady smiled, ”so either way, we win. Hm, interesting idea, I support it!”

”What about the Water Daimyo?” the Warrior nobel asked, ”what's his say in all of this?”

”Nothing,” the Hokage sighed, ”he's putting his head down and looking away, allowing the shinobi to settle their arguments amongst themselves instead.”

”Hm, would he not be displeased by our interference? Maybe we shouldn't,” the coward I called my Daimyo said with a whimper.

It took an hour for Sarutobi to convince the moron to agree to Konoha's movements in Kiri. It wasn't much, just the authorisation of two genin teams, 20 chunin and ten jonin. It wasn't much, hell, it was barely a quarter of the forces we had, but the Daimyo refused to let more ninja go, especially since he now believes Suna should be watched.

And so we began the tiresome task of getting these fat asses out of the castle and back to Hono. We were ten minutes out from Hono, I was excited to finally having this lame escort mission done with, when I felt it. Two chakra signatures, both easily crossing Jonin level, maybe even...Kage level.

I created ten clones, each with 100 CP and sent them out to warn everyone. Immediately Eagle and my team were by my side, ”what's wrong?” he asked.

”Two Kage level ninjas coming right for us,” I informed him.

”What?! Two Kage level ninjas?! Kid are you joking?!” One scoffed.

”No,” I growled, ”they're around 600 feet away and closing fast.”

”Shit! We need to get everyone away from here! Now!” One cried out.

”Panda,” Eagle turned to me, ”I grant you permission to use your daggers, can you teleport everyone to Hono?”

”Hono is around...70 Km away yes?” I calculated in my head, ”yes, easly but...I don't have a marker there.”

”What?! You don't?!” Eagle cried out, ”how could you be so stupid?!”

I growled, ”you said no markers! I….wait! I got it! Give me one second!” I closed my eyes and felt around for my markers, they were all connected to me, allowing me to discover that yes, there was one marker in Hono, it was in Moe's bedroom, the dagger I gave her, she kept it!

”Got it!” I opened my eyes, ”I have a marker in lord Socio's castle! I can teleport all the nobles there!”

”Do it! Now!” Eagle cried out.

I created twenty shadow clones and sent them away to do just that, I panted, ”what's the plan Eagle?”

”The plan is to get everyone out! Which we aren't doing!” One cried out, ”what are you all talking about?!”

I took out a fanged dagger and showed it to him, ”the Flying Thunder God jutsu, they'll all be fine, I promise.”

”W-wait, then that means,” One looked at me, ”I see, the second Flash.”

I nodded, ”right. So the nobels will be fine,” just then there was a flash of twenty blurs of blue lightning, ”and that was just my clones transporting the nobles away.”

”Are you serious?” Three asked.

”Yup,” I nodded, ”now what's the plan?”

”The plan? The plan is kid we run!” One scoffed, ”if you're right there's no way we can handle two Kage level threats! We'll split up and meet up at Hono's gates, they won't dare attack us there.”

”B-but what about the soldiers?” I asked, ”there are still around a thousand soldiers marching behind us! We can't just leave them! The ninjas will kill them!”

”So?” the man shrugged, ”they knew what they were getting into, they all will gladly die for their country.”

I growled, ”just because they can die doesn't mean they have too!”

”So what? You want to save them all? God kid, you do know you're a ninja right?” One laughed.

I growled, ”that's not the kind of ninja I am,” I stopped and turned around, ”you all go ahead and run, I'll make sure everyone makes it out alright.”

”Is he serious?” Seven asked as they watched me run back towards the soldiers.

”I think he is,” Eagle replied.

I ignored them and moved on, creating a plan in my head before creating a clone and dispelling it, allowing every active clone to understand the plan. After the nobles and their company were taken to Hono, they would then place another marker outside the city and bring all the soldiers there, since I doubt Moe would like having her room stuffed with over a thousand men in sweaty armour.

I appeared before the covo, immediately the lieutenant at the head stopped and looked at me, ”ninja! What is going on?! Where did you take the daimyo and the nobles?!”

”There are two Kage level threats approaching,” I told them, ”the nobles have already been extracted and kept safe.”

”What?! Where are they?!” the man asked from horseback.

”Safe in Hono,” I replied, just then a clone popped, it had placed a dagger at the gates of Hono, ”which is exactly where I'm going to take all of you,” I made the shadow clone jutsu seal.

There was a puff of smoke as suddenly 55 clones appeared besides me, each with one hundred CP, enough to make one trip before having to wait a minute and then come back.

”What?! We aren't going anywhere ninja! We are going to stand here and fight!” the man cried out, his men roaring behind him.

”You do that, you will die, needlessly,” I growled, ”this is a Kage level ninja! Not some army of ronin or bandits!”

”We are sworn to serve our lord's!” one cried out.

”Then do it in a battle which has meaning!” I cried, ”One that matters! Don't die here needlessly when you can instead serve to protect the land from outside invaders! Live! Fight another day!”

The men looked at each other, whispering.

”We are not cowards!” the man in front cried out.

”Is it cowardness to retreat into a more optimal battlefield?” I asked.

”N-no, it is not! It's common battle tactics!”

”Then that's what you're doing! You think they'll stop if they find the Daimyo isn't here?! They'll go to Hono and attack it! A single Kage level ninja can level that entire city! If you all die here, then Hono falls! So what do you wish to do? Die here for nothing, with no one witnessing your sacrifice? If allow me to help your army to move to Hono where you can defend your lords and die a proper death! Not like a dog, but like a warrior?!”

Ping!

You have successfully convinced them!

The people began to node, repeating my words. Even the man in charge looked convinced. ”Very well ninja, proceed with evacuating our army! Begin near the back! The front will be the last, will you be able to take us all away before the enemies arrive?”

I checked, they were 200 feet and approaching fast, ”no, they are only two hundred feet away.”

”Then while the rest fight in Hono, we will buy the city time here!” the man roared as he drew his sword.

”HONO!” the men cried out. Immediately my clones moved, grabbing two people at a time from the back and zipping away in a streak of blue lightning.

I turned around and faced the direction from which the two Kage level threats seemed to come from. The army of Hono stood ready behind me. And also, I had three surprise guests.

Eagle, Puma and Seven landed before me. Eagle looked at me, ”you realise I can have you court martialed for disobedience.”

”You never said I couldn't do this, you just said I should leave,” I told him.

Puma scoffed, ”you have balls kid.”

”Thanks, if you want after this I'll show you just how big they are,” I snorted.

”I have never seen a Panda behave like this,” Seven replied as they stood besides me side by side. Eagle took out his tanto while Puma and Seven drew a kunai in each hand, ”usually their more nervous and filled with fear.”

”I'm not a panda,” I chuckled, ”I'm more like a..well...I don't know, I never wondered what animal I was.”

”A dragon,” Eagle put in, the two Kage level ninja were close, only fifty feet away, ”you're as prideful and headfast as a dragon.”

”Plus you're speciality is breathing fire,” Puma put in, ”yeah, that's right, I did read your file kid.”

I smirked, ”right,” I saw my first wave of clones return, now taking the second wave of soldiers away. Slowly the two ninjas slowed down as they walked towards us at a leisurely pace, ”they're here.”

And out of the trees walked two figures in black cloaks with red clouds on them. One was around eight feet tall with blue skin, sharp teeth in a grin with gills on his neck. On his back was a great sword which was wrapped up in bandages and a yellow metal handle. He wore a Kiri headband on his forehead which had been crossed out;

Kisame Hoshigaki, Tailless tailed beast

Lv- 94

REP- -40

The other man was shorter, he wore a straw hat that covered his eyes and nose. He had one hang hanging out limpy from behind his cloak and the neck line covering his mouth;

Itachi Uchiha, Inheritor of the Will of Fire

Lv- 98

REP- 70

I felt fear dig in before Gamer's mind removed it. Kisame, monster in human form, enough chakra to make Naruto's own normal reserves seem tiny in comparison. He hated my guts. And then Itachi Uchiha, the man who 'betrayed' the Leaf, the true hero that everyone looked over.

”Oh, what's this? You were expecting us? Hm, I did find it odd that we didn't find an advanced gaurd, did you manage to sense us out?” Kisame asked with a shark like grin.

”They probably sensed your massive reserves Kisame,” Itachi said in a bored voice, ”hm, don't see anyone else here except the army...tell me, where are the nobels?”

”We'll never tell you you traitor!” Puma growled.

”Is that so?” Itachi lifted his hat, showing his red eyes.

”Ack!” Puma stiffened before falling to the ground.

”Shit!” I cried out as I felt his chakra enter her body, ”genjutsu! Don't look at his eyes! Don't even look at his fingers! He can use that as a focus as well!”

”Right!” Eagle and Seven lowered their heads, looking away from the Uchina. There was another wave of Blue Lightning, my clones returned for the third wave of soldiers. One looked over and noticed Puma down, he came over and flash her away, I sighed, at least now she would be safe.

”Hm, I see, clever boy,” Itachi removed his hat and threw it aside, ”you figured out my trick. And that blue lightning, you must be Yami, the second Flash of Konoha.”

”Yup! I'm also friend with your little brother! You know he misses you so much?! He keeps going on and on about how much he just wants to pummel his hands into your chest and rip your hearts out.”

I smiled at my talkative side coming out, wishing to get more time. I moved one hand behind me and motioned to the men behind me to get ready, they could attack at any moment.

”Sasuke was a dreamer,” Itachi nodded, ”I'm glad to see that hasn't changed.”

”Hey Itachi, what do we do?” Kisame asked, ”if this kid is the Flash he probably has all the Nobles tucked away safely. Our mission was a failure.”

”Sadly, that seems so Kisame,” Itachi sighed.

”Hey, how about if I have a little fun then heh? The kid might grow up to be someone some day, if we kill him now it'll save us a lot of trouble!”

”Hm….why not, go ahead,” Itachi turned around and walked away, ”make sure you kill them all, I don't want any survivors.”

”Fuck!” Eagle growled as the fourth wave of soldiers left, he turned to me, ”how many more?!”

”Only 200 have made it so far,” I grumbled, ”maybe another ten minutes?”

Kisame laughed, ”isn't this a treat? You all are staying here to save these soldiers?! You tree huggers really are soft!” He removed his great sword with one hand and slammed it into the ground, ”besides, you won't last ten minutes, you won't even last five.”

”Permission to go full force sir?” I asked Eagle.

”Granted, show him hell,” Eagle nodded.

”Right! Swift Release: Speed up times 10!” I vanished into a blur of white and grey. I activated my chakra enhanced fists and approached Kisame at full speed.

I grew my fist back ready to break his face, when suddenly he moved, blocking my punch with his sword, ”is that the fastest you can go?” he asked.

My eyes widened, I felt my chakra being drained away by the sword. I cursed and immediately moved back. I needed to go faster, ”Swift Release: Speed up times 100!” And this time, time began to slow down so much, even sounds began to slur together.

”Woah,” Kisame's eyes slowly widened as I came at him again. This time I went around, charging my fists and colliding them into his back, several at his neck, back of his head, spine and a kick right between the legs, twice.

I felt my chakra reserves going down, and being so close to the sword is draining my chakra as well. So I was forced to stop, ran back to my allies and cancel the jutsu, leaving me with 1,800 CP and raising.

Kisame gasped as he coughed out blood, his hands immediately going for his balls, ”y-you bastard!”

Itachi stopped and turned around, his eyes widening in shock, ”w-what? How did he hurt you?”

”I'm just that good,” I made a shadow clone with 200 CP and held out my hand. He began to make make a Rasengan using Scorch release chakra.

”W-what is he doing?” Kisame gasped as he slowly got back on his feet.

”Something dangerous,” Itachi said as he made eye contact with me, his eye suddenly turning from the three tomoe normal sharingan into his Mangekyo sharingan, the wheel spinning furiously as he whispered, ”Tsukuyomi.”

The eyes began to spin, I felt Itachi's chakra come at me, attacking my body, trying to take over my mind. But, thanks to Gamer's mind, my mind was resistant to the genjutsu. But, that didn't mean I was going to give up an advantage.

I clutched my head with one hand as the clone continued to create the Nova ball, ”m-my head! What did you do?!”

”Why isn't he going down?” Kisame asked as he readied his blade, ”this shouldn't take this much time right? Is something wrong with your eye?”

”No...something's off about this boy,” Itachi said, his eye slowly bleeding as he changed them back to normal, ”he's fighting it, I think. I can't...I can't seem to gasp his consciousness.”

-900 CP!

I grinned, the Nova ball was ready. I held it up over my head, by now over 50% of the army had evacuated, ”alright assholes! I'm giving you one warning! Run, or I'll end you!”

”Please! I'll absorb all that chakra in your hands! My sword's itching for a meal!” Kisame roared as he charged forward.

Itachi's eyes roamed around before landing on Kisame's back, ”Kisame no!”

Zoom!

I tossed the ball to a clone who teleported to the marker I placed on Kisame's clothes when I kicked his groin, twice. The clone appeared between Itachi and Kisame and closed the ball into himself, making it collapse like a supernova before a burst of energy came out.

KABOOM!

20 feet was cleared out as the entire area was covered in a flash of light. I felt my clones return and take the soldiers once more, this time three at a time.

Kisame and Itachi had escaped, I turned and pointed at the tree they were hiding behind, ”there!”

”Tsk,” Kisame said as he and Itachi revealed themselves, their cloaks not even singed. I hadn't done a single HP of damage, ”kid's a sensor.”

”Impressive,” Itachi whispered, ”Kisame, let's go, this fight is pointless.”

”But I want to fight the army!” the man whined.

Itachi sighed, ”fine, I'll deal with the Flash,” Itachi vanished in a blur of speed, appearing before me and grabbing me by the shoulder, ”let's talk.”

”No thanks!” I slashed at his hand with a dagger before punching at him. Itachi disengaged and leaped back, I created five clones with 500 CP each and sent them after him. Itachi move back before substituting himself with a clone of his own, the real one trying to sneak up behind me.

I turned and blocked a kunai to my back, I moved back as Itachi engaged me in a taijutsu spar, forcing me away from my ANBU allies.

”Great! With the brat now gone, I can finally play!” Kisame said as he charged at agle who dodged the initial strike and moved back, throwing a fireball at Kisame which the shark man easily absorbed.

My attention however was forced back to Itachi as he kept me on my toes, struggling to push him away with my daggers.

”You know, there aren't many people in this world who can resist my eyes,” he said as they slowly transformed into their Mangekyo state, ”let's see if you can do it twice.”

I felt his chakra attack me again, but I knew it wouldn't affect me. So I continued fighting, but slowly, his movements began to go faster, his reaction time several times quicker than mine. I was thinking about using a marker to leave him, when I heard Pum cry out.

”EAGLE!” she screamed. I turned to see Kisame's blade sherd into the ANBU's side, ripping his gut, blood flashing everywhere.

”NO!” I felt rage, he was a good man, a ninja that came back for his allies! He didn't deserve to die! I tried to disengage Itachi to move to his side, but the Uchiha didn't let me.

”Is this the first time you saw a friend die?” Itachi asked as he swiped at me, sparks flying as I deflected his swings, ”don't worry...you'll get used to it.”

”No!” I growled, ”no one will ever die on my watch! No one!” I needed to be faster! I couldn't make the hand seals for the Swift Release, I had no choice.

”That's quite a claim, you really don't know how...this….those eyes, but how?!” Itachi's own widened in surprise.

”Kiss my ass,” my sharingan flashed alive behind my mask, but he could tell they were there thanks to his own eye seeing the chakra work inside my eyes. My anger filled my movements, allowing my reaction time to improve several times over.

I pushed into the attack, I saw Kisame fight and kill several soldiers as Seven tried to push him back while Puma took Eagle away from the fight. I needed to go there, now! I managed to find an opening, these eyes let me see one right over his shoulder.

I nicked his shoulder by throwing my dagger. Itachi winced for a microsecond and that was all I needed to disengage from battle, rushing to Eagle's side. I made three clones, one grabbed Eagle and flashed away while the other grabbed Puma and Seven, taking them away as well.

There were only 200 soldiers left, the next wave of clones coming to take the next fifty away. I was about to make more before flashing away myself when I felt a fire ball coming right at me.

I turned, my hands blurring through seals as I saw the Great Fireball a twenty feet away. I finished with a half bird and half tiger seal as I sucked in a gulp of air. The fireball was ten feet away, I could feel the heat on my brow.

I gasped out a breath of blue flames that tore through the Great Fireball right in front of me, the flames so powerful the orange fire disappeared into nothing as the Dragon's Breath came at Itachi who skillfully dodged away.

Just then my fifty five clones came again and evacuated more soldiers, now only a hundred and forty remained.

”Hey! Stop taking away my victimes!” Kisame cried out from ontop a pile of soldiers. Around a hundred lay dead before his feet, the rest struggling to fight with injuries.

”Kisame, this is pointless,” Itachi said appearing at his side.
