Jiriyah stood and faced Kakashi, who was picking Riku up off of the ground.
"S... Stop right there! I won't let you... Take him...," Jiriyah opened his eyes.
"Byakugan. Hmph, you really are the offspring of a Hyuga. You aren't ready to fight me child, stand aside,"Kakashi began walking towards the exit of the village, Riku over his shoulder.
"Don't turn your back on me! I'll show you why I'm at the top of my class. 8 Trigrams Palm Destruction!" Jiriyah flew at Kakashi and through a rapid array of palm strikes.
Kakashi easily dodged most of them and finally sat Riku down. He charged his infamous lighting blade and charged at Jiriyah who smirked.
Right as Kakashi reached Jiriyah, Jiriyah ducked and slammed a palm into Kakashi's stomach.
"8 Trigam Meteor Palm!" Jiriyah formed a perfect Rasengan that sent Kakashi flying backwards.
"He's just as cocky as you were," Kakashi mumbled.
When he looked up again Jiriyah was gone. Kakashi looked everywhere and couldn't find the boy who had just sent him flying backwards.
"Dammit where did he go?" Kakashi was panicking.
He felt chakra behind him and lunged in its direction. A direct hit! Kakashi turned to see that he hit Jiriyah in the chest. Something want right. Jiriyah's body went limp and then he latched onto Kakashi.
"What? What is this?"Kakashi began shaking his arm violently, but couldn't free himself.
He felt a massive array of palms land into his back and cut of his chakra.
"8 Trigrams 128 Palms!" Jiriyah yelled as he landed the last blow.
Kakashi knew he had to retreat. This kid had bested him somehow. He was going to retrieve Riku and leave. His first move was a water dragon Jutsu that flew at Jiriyah, who barely evaded. Next, Kakashi destroyed the clone that held him in place and grabbed Riku before disappearing.
Jiriyah finished with dodging the water dragon and landed on the ground. He ran after Kakashi for hours but couldn't find them. He returned as the sun set, exhausted and self conflicted. Why hadn't he taken Riku and ran to a safe spot? Now his best friend had been kidnapped by that strange man. And how had he nearly killed a man who's chakra level was so high? The man must have been testing Jiriyah's skills. He knew he was going to need something from the Hokage. The scroll of Forbidden Techniques. Jiriyah was determined to save Riku.
