I smirked and took a battle stance ready for any attacks he may launch while walking towards me.
When he finally made it to stand in front of me he tipped an invisible hat down towards me in greeting and I chuckled.
"Sakura start us up." I ordered slightly motioning my head towards her.
"Um… Go?" I leaped back to the edge of the field and stood my back facing the tree.
3RD PERSON'S POV:
"Perhaps we should go easy on each other this time, ne?" Kakashi stalked towards Skye mimicking a lion stalking its prey.
The lion's prey cocked a hip at him and tilted her head "You're sure about this Kashi?" she frowned reminding herself to keep constant awareness of her surroundings.
"As sure as I am that I loathe that nickname." He smiled.
"So not at all," the prey chuckled cheekily.
The students couldn't help but stare in awe at the obvious attention their senseis tried to cover. The spar took a sudden turn from being relaxed and talkative to fill to the brim with danger when the silver haired ninja took a lunge at his adoptive daughter moving at lightning speed. But the adoptive daughter could also move in tune with the inventor of the Raikiri and knew his moves well enough, so she was able to duck the kick to her head expertly. Skye backed into the tree further and using it to block her back she threw a kunai at her father and it hit him in the chest.
Kakashi's shadow clone disappeared leaving a confused looking Skye alone in the field along with her students until a kunai appeared at her throat from behind her. "Yield." Ordered the copy-cat ninja but instead of doing as ordered Skye crossed her fingers in front of herself and her shadow clone too disappeared.
Kakashi scanned the tree line looking for any sign of his pupil, until a shine caught his eye and he turned in time to receive many senbon to all of his chakra points and points of fatality. When Kakashi hit the ground his dead and lifeless body was replaced with a log off the tree he was previously hiding behind. The real Kakashi appeared in the tree the senbon flew out of, and slit Skye's throat. The life drained out of Skye's eyes as her blood trailed down her throat, she muttered a strangled gasp before she fell out of the tree and lifeless to the floor.
Kakashi landed next to the now dead body scratching his head. "Uh… she usually disappears at this time. That couldn't have been the real Skye could it?" Kakashi was worried, his heart was able to be heard pounding across the field and as sweat danced across his brow Skye's body went 'poof' and disappeared out of existence.
The silver haired Nin's eyes went wide when he realized what was going to happen next.
Skye burst forth from the ground beneath him and placed her hand on the ground as if to do a cart-wheel then back-kicked Kakashi into the air. She followed him up and flipped just next to the flying ninja. Skye then pounded her right foot into the centre of his chest and her left foot at the back of his knees, successfully turning Kakashi face down do that he would hit the ground head first. Kakashi fell so fast once he was turned upside down that he collided with the ground in seconds, and when the dust cleared all that was left of him was one big blood splatter. Skye had disappeared but none of that mattered because all the three students could focus on was the remains of the teacher for only 2 days. Skye came out from behind the bushes, a smug expression on her face; she knew she had one the battle, even going as far as to end Kakashi's life.
Skye's POV:
I came out from the cover of the trees I'd been hiding behind, feeling awesome because I had beaten Kakashi in front of his students and proven that just because I was the same age as team seven doesn't mean I was on the same level or universe as them. I smirked when I saw their shock ridden faces directed towards me.
"What? You didn't think I could beat him?" I shrugged kind of expecting them to take a while to understand how good I actually was.
"You killed him!" Naruto yelled disbelievingly, horror painted across his features.
"Who?" I searched the grounds for anyone that could've been injured during our fight, my eyes slightly wider to scout for any danger.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura screeched answering my question, "he fell to the ground, you killed him right there, his body is there." She pointed behind her at the spot where Kakashi died.
"Really?" I tilted my head at her, "Because all I see is a pile of twigs from a smashed tree." I stated and blew my fringe out of my eyes.
Team seven abruptly turned around and found exactly what I said there'd be. A pile of stick smashed into the ground from a once whole log, Kakashi preformed a substitution jutsu at the last minute, which was why I was able to go full bawl on his butt.
"Kakashi! Come out, come out, wherever you are; or else." I sang out and ended in a creepy voice.
"Or else what?" the very ninja who I was calling came out from behind a tree.
"Or else I would burn all of your Icha Icha books;" I crossed my arms over my chest and cocked my hip.
"You've always threatened that, and yet they're still intact." He shrugged in total nonchalance, completely unconcerned that I could ruin his most treasured pornography.
"I'm saving them for a rainy day." I smirked at his look of horror; he swallowed and turned towards his team.
"See not that hard, all you need is just one bell apiece, but since there aren't enough to go around one of you is definitely headed for the stump. Whoever that is will be the first one to fail. One of you is on your way back to school… and disgrace. You may if you choose, use shuriken. Attack as though you mean to kill or you'll never stand a chance."
"But that's so dangerous!" Sakura yelled indignantly, and I scoffed.
"For you maybe." I shrugged when she aimed a pathetic glare my way.
"You couldn't even beat a little girl like Skye! You're gonna get yourself killed." He laughed hands behind his head, which is why he probably didn't see me coming.
I ran at Naruto and fisted my hands in his shirt and lifting him up above my head by his collar. "Why you little-"
"Only the weak speak loudly, and the just plain stupid speak against my student." Kakashi interrupted the line of names I was about to call Naruto. "Skye;" he addressed me "Now let's put down the dunce," he held his hands up in a calming gesture. I grudgingly put the still struggling dunce down. "Now let's start on my signal."
I made my way over to stand next to Kakashi, showing my back to team 7 on purpose, making them think I didn't see them as a threat, which is true, mostly.
I heard the tell-tale sounds of a weapon being drawn before I made it to Kakashi's side and froze not knowing who it was coming from, if it was the dunce or fan-girl I'm pretty sure I'm okay, if it was chicken butt I should probably move, I swung around o face my team, little did I know I was accidently in sync with Naruto drawing his weapon and lunging at me and Kakashi, so when I turned I almost copped a kunai to my face, luckily I reacted quick enough to grab the kunai, swing Naruto around and point the tip of his weapon at his neck, when he stiffened I let out an air of breath not acknowledging the adrenalin that came with having a knife almost plunge into you, even by a genin.
"Not so fast runt." I sneered. "You wouldn't want to hurt yourself, at least you struck to kill me, and so it seems that you've began to respect your teachers." I let Naruto go and flash stepped to Kakashi's side.
"Maybe… just maybe… I'm starting to like you three," Kakashi continued as if I hadn't just stolen the words from his mouth. "Now, Ready…Steady…Go!" and like that team 7 was off in a flash, hopefully concealing themselves in the trees and shrubbery that surrounded us.
I walked over to a shady tree and sat down, my work was done for today, no reason to pay attention to the test; they're probably going to fail anyhow. I pulled out my leather bound book that belonged to one of my ancestors and began reading. It's one of my favourite books to read.
Kakashi's POV:
"The basis of all Shinobi arts is to become invisible eradicate yourself," I filled the silence knowing I didn't need to, all three should know all the Shinobi arts, though I doubt from what I've seen and heard of Naruto's character that he knows or can recognise any.
I looked over and saw my daughter relaxing in the shade and reading her favourite book, no way was she going to stay that way! If I can't read, she's not allowed to either. "Oi! Come over here, I want you to point out what they do wrong." I baited her.
"Can I call them names?" she asked in a hopeful voice and tilting her head, I would say to her how cute she looks but then I'd probably be made to taste the dirt under my feet.
"Deal." She stood up with the exuberance of a five year old in a candy store and bolted to my side, and just in time; Naruto is about to announce himself.
"IT'S TIME FOR THE MATCH TO BEGIN!" I heard Skye sigh beside me, seems Naruto is always the loud mouth, no wonder he gives Lord Third a headache.
I turned to face the knuckle head and Skye backed up a bit to give me room to breathe, I just love that girl. "LET'S MAKE IT A REAL MATCH, WORTHY OF THE GREATEST SHINOBI WARRIORS!" Naruto continued seemingly unaware that I didn't give a crap.
"You may be thinking of the wrong kind of match," I informed him, secretly planning ways I could make him less over-confident.
"The only thing wrong here is your hairstyle!" he screamed, running at me; didn't he know that my hairstyle is awesome? That you're not supposed to run directly at your opponent or insult them with petty jabs? He has a lot to learn.
Maybe I'll get to read after all, I shoved my hand in my pocket, "Let me teach you, your first ninjutsu skill. Taijutsu, the art of the trained body!" and with that I pulled out my brand new copy of Make-Out Paradise.
Naruto jerked to a stop and I took this moment to gloat. "Something wrong? I thought you were coming for me," I shrugged and pretended I didn't notice his presence; that should get him riled up.
"But-You I mean, I mean I-I, why are you… That's a book!" he stuttered and pointed at my beloved.
"Really? I didn't know! I wasn't obvious at all." Skye happily gave her opinion. I ignored her antics.
"Of course it's a book! I've been dying to find out how this story ends. Carry on… It shouldn't make any difference in the outcome, considering who I'm up against." I smirked beneath my mask.
I peered at Naruto through the corner of my eye and had to stifle the urge to laugh. "Are you having an aneurism?" Piped up Skye; he sort of looked like it too, he had his eyes wide open in shock, the left one twitching a bit and his mouth was wide open and his face became a bright red; personally I thought he looked like he's having an allergic reaction but didn't get time to speak my thoughts because Naruto announced his presence, Naruto one for being ignored, even for a second.
"I'M GOING TO FLATTEN YOU!" Naruto lunged to punch me in the face, I blocked and preformed a high kick and I ducked, still keeping my nose in my book. Hikari the main female character had tied Kyoya the main male character to the bed post and Hikari was proceeding to remove her red satin dressing gown, revealing- "Charge! All right, that's it!" I snapped my book shut in irritation at being interrupted and put it in my back pouch then I flash stepped behind Naruto intent on making him pay for interrupting the best part. "What the-"
"Showing your back to the enemy is very poor Ninjutsu dunce." I made the sign of the tiger with my hands and reared back preparing to give the final blow to victory.
"Naruto get out of there! You'll be killed!" Sakura screeched, revealing her position.
"What?" Naruto looked dumbfounded.
"Too late," Skye stated in her know-it-all voice near me and I chuckled.
"Konohagakure village's most secret and most sacred technique. A thousand years of death!" I launched Naruto into the air grinning at Naruto's expression, classic.
I reached behind me and searched for my book and scowled when I only felt weapons. "Skye," I muttered darkly and I swore that in the distance I heard and evil chuckle; that little minx. I promised that I would get her back for this, some small part of my brain recognised that I had just caught two shuriken with just as many fingers thrown from the river I had just launched Naruto into. The rest of my brain didn't care and was tempted to chase after the little brat that I am annoyed to call daughter and give up on these hopeless cases. With a huge amount of effort I was able to supress that side of me until it lay dormant after all the dish of revenge is one best severed cold. I put my brain to use in ways I could torture her later, in the mean time I put my attention towards my recently escaped student.
"Well? What's the hold up? Get one of these bell by lunch or you'll have no lunch!" I taunted taking my frustrations out on Naruto.
"Duh! I know that!" he squinted at me not bothering to get up from his crouch on the muddy ground.
"You claim to want to pass Lord Hokage, but you've already run out of steam." I cocked my hip intent of making Naruto realise he won't become Hokage in a day.
"Crap! Crap! Crap! I can fight no matter how hungry I am!" Naruto exclaimed. "I JUST WASN'T READY THAT'S ALL!" the dunce continued as if getting louder would change how the world works.
"So learn to get ready. Don't they say that chance favours the prepared mind?" the red headed devil appeared beside me once again stealing my words.
"Where is it?" I demanded, holding out my hand waiting for her to give up her pick-pocketed prize.
"What are you talking about Kakashi?" she used her innocent voice, which would've worked if it weren't for the more than devious grin.
"My book dammit!" I glared at her with all my might hoping to scare her, even just enough to make her give up the secret location of the love of my life.
"Hmm, you mean this book?" she pulled out Make-Out Paradise from one of her pockets and waved it under my masked nose; I swiped for it but she tucked it safely away before my fingers could brush over it. "Uh, uh, uh! I'll give you your precious, on one condition."
"Name it." I growled.
"I get to mess with our students a little bit." She grinned evilly and I took about three seconds to think which was more important, failing students or beloved princess book…. Book; definitely book; I lunged at my student and tackled her to the ground and snatched my book out from her pocket.
"Deal. But if you ever steal or harm this book again, I will kill you." I pulled up my Hitai-ate and used my sharingan to show her all the pain I'd put her through and she… giggled?
"Ah Kashi, I promise I won't harm THAT book ever; but I can't promise anything about the rest of the series." And before I could strangle her she was off in a flash, probably plotting physical harm to Sakura, oh well, not my problem if Skye kills the poor girl, she'll get in trouble not me.
I got up and brushed myself off, hugging my book close for a minute, I was about to start reading again as well but was interrupted by a boisterous voice. I sighed in frustration. 'At this rate I'm never going to finish the book today.'
"HA-HAH MY SPECIALTY! THE ART OF THE DOPPLEGANGER! GET READY, NOW YOU FACE MORE THAN JUST ONE OF ME!" the eight Naruto's charged at me and I had to blink in surprise.
"Not illusions, but actual multiple flesh and blood bodies! But at your level you couldn't be strong enough to keep this up for more than a minute! You talk a good game but you're still only Naruto! You're a one trick pony who hasn't got what it takes to win!" perhaps I was being harsh but how does he expect to become a great ninja the way he is currently and insults seem to motivate him so- what!
I felt a weight on my back, arms and legs wrap around my arms and torso. "What? Behind me!" an exclamation of surprise left my mouth before I could stifle it.
"He-He-He! Nice to see your back Master!" the blonde dunce cackled.
I knew I didn't have much time before Naruto 'attacked' me so I had to think of a way out fast. But it's hard to think of my usual slinking away tactics when I don't take the situation seriously… hmm, if Skye was threatening to burn my books AGAIN if I was late for training and that old lady wanted me to help her with her groceries again and I had only 5 minutes to make it across town what would I do? Wait, I got it!
"I isolated one of my doppelgangers and sent it out of the water posing as me while I circled around behind you!" Naruto explained his tactics for which I carefully stored away for knowledge later but took this moment to put in place my plan. I made the correct hand signals for the jutsu and waited for the perfect moment.
"Here's payback for what you did to my ass! This must be hard on you, so I'll make this easy. One good hit is all I want!" one of the many Narutos flew at me pulling back their fist and I saw this was the perfect time, so I disappeared, placing one of the Naruto's in my place.
