Kyojiro felt it-
the heat from the explosion rocketing on his skin.His eyes widened as he witnessed the crazed smile on the man's face, 'Explosion?.. how?'
The three younger men, on the other hand, just smirked. They walked forward, their eyes domineering.
Kyojiro couldn't help but bring his katana forward, 'I may need to go all out this time…' Conflicted emotions appeared on his face.
Kyojiro had promised himself that he would first grow stronger and only then showcase his might… yet the situation had turned out so that there was nothing he could do.
.
.

Kakashi looked at the battle in front of him, his hand clenched at his sword, ready to go all out.His eyes scanned the three younger opponents that his senior was handling, 'Chunins,' he deduced.
They weren't much older than him, somewhere around seventeen—similar to his senior—yet Kakashi's instinct never failed him.
He couldn't help but think they were dangerous.
He walked forward, standing toe to toe with Kyojiro. Looking at the unique Uchiha, he spoke grimly, "I will fight alongside you… and I am not asking."
He saw Kyojiro nod from the corner of his eyes.
THUMP
THUMP
His heartbeat increased the moment the battle started. Two of the chunin rushed at Kyojiro, thinking he was the tougher target.
SWOOSH
Kakashi crouched the moment a kunai rushed over him. His eyes narrowed. He rushed forward, his sword moving exactly the way he had practiced.
TING
The opposing chunin immediately engaged with another kunai. Their figures clashed through the air.
Kakashi, despite being the smaller of the two, kept striking at the chunin.
His eyes darted around the boy, deducing his fighting style, 'Immature.'His sword swished through the air, directly smashing against the weak side of the kunai.
The chunin grunted as he tried to engage once again, but Kakashi kept pressing him.Every time the man tried to counterattack, Kakashi would already have seen two steps ahead.
.
.
.
'How… he is so young. How can he be so good at close-range fighting?' the chunin couldn't help but think.
His hands trembled as he blocked another sword strike—barely. Gritting his teeth, he used his off-hand to throw some shuriken at the boy.
SWOOSH
He leapt back, immediately started knitting hand signs, 'Let's see how you dodge this.'
'Explosion Style—Explosive Ball.' Explosion Style was something the chunin took great pride in.
His smile returned the moment the jutsu completed. Lightning chakra and earth chakra seemingly connected together without any issue.
For him, the task wasn't something he did cautiously… it was within his very instinct to combine both.
What it produced was an inconspicuous ball of earth.
WHOOSH
His mouth bulged, the ball of earth exiting it as it moved at immense speeds toward the white-haired boy.
Meanwhile—
Kakashi's eyes widened as he saw the weirdly soft-looking ball of earth coming his way. The hair on his arm stood, his heartbeat erratic.
'It's something dangerous,' his instinct warned him… and even without thinking, his hands blurred together, putting up an earth wall in front of him.
BOOM
Shockwaves spread through the area as Kakashi himself was flung back. His eyes sharpened as he felt the heat on his skin.
'Explosion Release…'
His hands blurred before the dust from the battle could disperse, 'Clone Jutsu.'
A phantom Kakashi emerged right beside him.Meanwhile, the white-haired ninja went inside the very earth.
SWOOSH
The chunin couldn't help but raise his kunai. He could see the dark silhouette of Kakashi, 'He brought up an earth wall at the very last second… this speed—just who is this brat?'
Sweat trickled down his skin as he saw 'Kakashi' moving toward him through the cloud, 'Explosion Release—'
Yet his jutsu was cut short as a hand immediately gripped his leg."Aahhh!" he shouted. He immediately grasped his kunai, aiming to cut off the hand.Yet his eyes widened as he looked at Kakashi jumping through the fog, his sword raised in the air.
'What… who is real?' Sweat trickled down his forehead, the heat of the battle getting to him. His eyes widened, 'There is no shadow… fuck.' He looked down, only to see a kunai held in the other hand.
That split second of confusion—that was all the son of the White Fang needed.
SWOOSH
PUCHI
The kunai immediately punctured through the Achilles tendon of the man, bringing him to his knees.
"Arghhh!" he shouted as he tried to plunge his kunai into the outstretched hand. Yet the moment he reached there, Kakashi had buried himself once more.
'Fuck… fuck, no way. Am I, the future member of the Explosion Corps, to be killed today… by a child?' His heartbeat erratic, he panicked.
His hands twitched as he tried to move away from the spot.
'I need to make distance, I need to use my jutsus.'He dragged his leg, trying to distance himself. His eyes widened as he looked at the field.
The swordsman was still fighting with his two members… the jonin was clashing equally with his leader.
His expression worsened, despair clung around him like a snake coiling around his neck.
His eyes darted, 'White hair—white hair… where is he?' He panted, taking in air from his mouth. The fear increased the more seconds passed.
His other leg twitched, afraid of being grabbed.
SWOOSH
His ear twitched—the sound of shuriken flying through the air. He turned, eyes widening at the barrage of shuriken coming at him.
His hands trembled, blocking away the flying projectiles with his kunai.
"Too late," he heard the whisper. His throat dried. He tried to turn as quick as he could.
PUCHI
Pain rampaged through his body, his eyes widened as he looked at the sword sticking through his chest.
"Keurghh!" He spat a mouthful of blood, his last moments spent looking at the dull eyes—emotionless and apathetic, gazing at him.
'This kid…' His eyes shut.
Kakashi had just killed a future member of the most elite squad of Iwagakure.
