Guest - Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Two weeks after the pursuit of Itachi. Tobi let Sasuke go free and have now other plans. Plus, Kisame is new partner of Tobi. Kakuzu, Sasori and Deidara is alive. Hidan is missing. Akatsuki has two new members. There's something chilling in the air. Hiruko declares war.
Story so far:
Hiruko from declared war and placed control seal on Kakashi. Konoha Eleven is fighting with Hiruko's underlings. Akatsuki members stirred things up. Tobi has his own reasons.
Hiruko has problems with masked man. Naruto meets demonic dragons sent by Hiruko and one shape-shifter. Kakashi is busy with his runaway. Obito Uchiha underestimates his enemies once again and it seems he have to use that jutsu because even enhanced Kamui version has it's time limit.
Enjoy!

The sharp, slashing bandages cut through all the things he ejected from his pocket dimension before. The debris, dust, Kakashi trapped in Chimera substance. Damn, that poison should work. Obito slighty opened his right eye, but nothing had changed at all. One of wrens told him about unconscious Naruto. No choice then.
Hiruko looked at the sky and at the moon, and the sun. Damn it. With that enemy he wouldn't be able to finish the rite. Whatever he tried to do, the masked man was one step ahead. The fact he isn't able to suck Kakashi is disturbing enough and Tobi attacked him in an instant, waving his big ass gunbai. Old war fan, used during the Warring States period. White with black edge and long handling. Three red tomoes on its wider end. The sword looked as every normal sword. That huge gunbai was able to disperse dark clouds with ease and the masked man strike him out with that ordinary weapon. Or that weapon just look like that?

Kakashi's temporary prison
/
Kakashi couldn't move. Damn that stinky Chimera. Damn that Hiruko.
His masterplan failed and Kamui had been activated, indeed, but in inapropiate time. Hiruko has been still alive, the solar eclipse still lasts and he's got little time left.
What he should do now?
Kakashi struggled against the Chimera substance, trying to free himself. It was strange, but it pretented to be like jelly and stronger than infamous blows of Maito Gai. He gained a few inches, but instead the Chimera pushed his down, again and again.
"Obito" he thought suddenly about his dead friend. "I promised you I'll protect Konoha, no matter the cost."
Thinking about Obito gave him new power to wrestle with that substance covering him and semi-conciously bringing him on the bottom every single time, but Kakashi can't just give up.
Now Kakashi dwelled in the bottom of his jail, inch by inch scrambling out of here. To find and defeat Hiruko, whatever the cost. Shouldn't Hiruko be the one who absorbs him now? Where's he?
"I don't like it."
That aura. For a moment he felt someone's aura coming from outside world.
That feeling gave him shivers, because what kind of person could be the owner of such dark and cold aura? Kakashi doesn't know many of them.
Dark, cold, unfriendly and full of hate. Is that enormous power belonging to Hiruko? Is this his real appearance, hidden under the calm and longing demaneour?
Kakashi felt like he was staring into darkness prevailing in well, full of dark and dangerous water. And then something dwelling in dark water gazed back into him. Kakashi gasped.
Masked Man. Madara Uchiha. Tobi.
Hiruko presence is creepy and eerie, but without so many hatred.
Kakashi stiffened for a moment. Why? Akatsuki were after Naruto, so what they're doing here? How did they know about secret assigment to Konoha Eleven? Akatsuki had their spies within Konoha?
Chimera substance cannot absorb him now, but it's blocking his chakra somewhat. He might be able to use Kamui to free himself, but at the cost of his chakra. If masked man is here, he would need everything to fight for Naruto's sake.
Itachi said once that there's third Mangekyou Sharingan user. Was he talking about Tobi here and then?
Hiruko still wasn't showing himself up. Kakashi remembered how Naruto, Sakura and Sai tried to defeat their enemy and Hiruko in thirty seconds defeated them all and took him inside the palace. Surely Hiruko would procced with the rite if not disturbed by anyone. Disturbed?
Kakashi smiled slightly.
Sure. The masked Akatsuki member stopped Hiruko so he couldn't finish the rite.
Why? Tobi could snatch Naruto with ease, but for some less or more apparent reason he didn't.
"Even the best shinobi aren't able to come near him. He uses special technique to devour someone whole chakra and stamina and kill him."
"In order to obtain kekkei genkai I need special rite formula and three conditions: Earth, Heaven and Man. Earth is Mt. Shumisen. Heaven is the annular solar eclipse. Man, Kakashi Hatake. I'll kill you and obtain your Sharingan!"
Everything is clear now.
Madara Uchiha is third Mangekyou Sharingan user. That's why he's able to face Hiruko and fight him. If their fight last so long there's only two options. Madara Uchiha is very powerful or know how to fight with Hiruko. Then he had to know his bloodline limits and fighting style. Which means Hiruko and the masked man had fought earlier.
Or two of them.
He already used Kamui once.
Only three more to go before he'll use his whole chakra and stamina, without any addictional techniques.
Fighting with Madara Uchiha, it should be very difficult.
"Kamui!"
Two more times to go. Kakashi felt very tired after second use of Kamui to dig out the exit for himself. Chimera substance trembled and from the mass divided many tentacle-shaped arms and tired to catch him again.
Kakashi panted heavily and evaded semi-councious Chimera tentacles but he saw both of them, exchanging blows. Madara in old red armour and partially broken mask waved his gunbai. When the blow pushed Hiruko several meters away, he just was here, at once. Hiruko didn't have time to start the rite, too busy with his new opponent.
Suddenly Hiruko gave loud, unhumanly squall. He was pierced by sword and Madara giggled.
For a second Kakashi saw his Mangekyou Sharingan pattern. No.
Chimera substance catched him and Kakashi gasped in pure horror.
That's not ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan. That's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and Madara was unfamously known for having Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, just another pattern.
It's his and Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan pattern overlapping Itachi's.
"Obito..."
How did Madara get it?
Red eye looking at him and that's the only attention he's got. Madara stared into Hiruko again, removed his sword from that wound and pulled back a few steps, then putting his weapons aside.
He had to get here quickly.

Masked man and Hiruko
/
Hiruko moved fast, really fast. Obito let out a heavy sigh, slightly opening his right eye. The light is changing now and Hiruko followed in some direction. He sent Kisame to look after Kakashi and Naruto, because sharkman is prone to Hiruko's jutsu, unlike him.
"It's the acquisition of Obito's Sharingan that made me hint how to make my body perfect."
That's the words of Hiruko. So he's the one responsible for that mess and he will deal with the consequences. The final goal of Hiruko is unacceptable.
Obito broke already every single rule of the Ninja Code, do so many bad things so why he should care about his former teammate? If Kakashi will find out the truth eventually they may fight as deadly enemies, because Kakashi couldn't accept the person he has become.
The past – death of close ones, his sacrifice, Rin's sacrifice and everything that come after were good reason to gave up this world, to become no-one, the person who simply doesn't care. Because once he cared too much. Still, he just can't follow that path.
The Ninja World is cursed place, is hell.
But still, there's one person for which Obito still does that. He's still himself, deep inside, even if he plays so many roles, wearing masks.
"I'm Obito Uchiha, nuke-nin form Konoha. The one who died so many times and cause so much evil, sadness and suffering. Current shinobi system soon will end. But not in that way."
He have no choice.
Save all chakra in your feet and jump high. They met again in the midair. His old orange mask, he liked it somewhat. The strength of blast sent Hiruko on the surface of the debris and he was launched higher and fell down with great shockwave.
He threw broken fragments of mask on Hiruko and giggled.
"My dance partner, let's see what we've got here." Opened his eyes, revealing twin Mangekyou Sharingans. "We need better light to dance longer."
"Wha?"
Karotousen was in his hand and he shoved it into Hiruko left side, strengthening sword with his will. Unbreakable blade, huh.
"Gwaah!"
" Does it hurt?"
He kicked Hiruko hard, after removing sword from his wound. What's that? That place is hollow, ready for something?
Allright, he needed to store Kakashi somewhere.
Speaking of which. Damn, he already reached five minutes limit of Kamui. With his new eyes he may be able to prolong it, but he cannot afford any more mistakes.
Hiruko growled.
"I never met such a persistent enemy." Waved a series of high speed hand seals. Obito already knew them. Storm Release again? "Storm Release Secret Technique: Dragon's Wrath!"
For a split second he saw Kakashi with the corner of his left eye. Damn you, Kakashi. Couldn't you sit still for two more minutes?
Dragon formed from the clouds, encased in lightning bolts, most likely sucking chakra. So Hiruko wants to distract him.
One, two, three, four, five.
From the clouds came Hiruko with great speed. Too fast, because his silhouette was blurred. Enemy most propably used his Swift Release kekkei genkai. He wanted to get Kakashi.
"You'll get him after my rotten body."
Obito made chakra-enhanced jump, but something seemed to be strange. Hiruko jumped really high, but his skin had disturbingly dark shade, just like Steel Release. Then he fell right into him, into his right side with the full weight of his body, using himself as bullet. Bullet which hit him with great speed and the brute force of his steel-covered body hit him really hard.
He heard loud crack of broken armour and the shockwave sent him far away, into the pile of rubble. When he was still in midair, his real body scattered, for hundreds of little wrens. They flew into Hiruko's direction, forming the silhouette of Madara.
Then Obito could finally look into his broken armour. The upper right part of chestarmour was broken, revealing torn clothes he wore underneath and his pale chest, the Senju tissues, merged together with his real body.
He underestimated his enemy.
"It seems you're out of that special jutsu. Did you just hit it's time limit?" Hiruko smirked, looking into his pale chest. "I see, so you already posses two bloodline limits. Sharingan and something else."
Uchiha furrowed his eyebrows. According to his count, he can use Kamui only for twenty seconds before he could use it again after ten minutes. He's aware of Kamui time limit and re-load requirements. Huh. It's time for kiseru.
No. Before that, he'll do something else.
Hiruko saw Madara hands moving with incomprehensible speed, creating blurry sequence of hand seals, impossible to decipher. Damn, he even can't read that seqence.
"Ninjutsu won't work against me!"
He raised his left hand, ready to absorb any type of ninja art coming next.
"Wood Release: Cutting Technique." Obito used his second kekkei genkai only to confirm Hiruko's ability to suck other bloodline limits during the solar eclipse.
Three roots emerged from the ground, impaling Hiruko before he sucked chakra from the roots completly. Roots withered instantly, but three gaping holes in Hiruko's corpse remained and green and blue Chimera substance leaked from them. It flowed slowly, instead of blood. So Hiruko was modified body, after all. Disgusting, to do something like that in purpose. He, on the other hand hadn't have choice then. Madara hadn't asked him if he wanted to be saved. He's patched up monster, too. Classy patched up monster.
"Wood Release? Impossible!" Hiruko looked at him shocked, again. "That's the First Hokage kekkei genkai? How did you? Back at you!"
Blue coloured chakra mist came form the diamond-shaped symbol on his hand. Hiruko gritted his teeth in anger. That's it? He suspected that his enemy would use more chakra, but he had to admit good chakra control of masked man. He absorbed water and earth related kekkei genkai before, so continous use of that two natures should grant him access to Wood Release. Still, he wasn't able to use it. Then, how did Madara get access to Hashirama Senju immense powers? Uchiha had to know another way than the rite. Hiruko knew that now he couldn't perform a jutsu formula for absorbing that kekkei genkai. Not now or the next three years.
Obito laughed loudly, narrowing his eyes and sneering at enemy.
"So you're trashy, not classy. I see now, you modified your body to gain more power, but just look what have you become. You're not human anymore, just freaking hybrid of semi-sentinent jelly and few bloodline limits. Disgusting beast and you used to be such a nice, sweet kid. Just because Sannins rejected you?"
In order to have higher chances to control Hiruko, Obito thought about bashing him to piss him out. Then Hiruko's anger would make him more prone to his special technique. Or not. It's better to act in advance, especially when Kakashi is nearby. Preparing that jutsu will take some time and he'll need Kisame to distract Kakashi while doing his job.
"You're just jealously." retorted Hiruko wryly. "Don't be so full of yourself, Madara Uchiha. You're over hundred years old and you must be pretty creasy under that mask."
Then made another sequence of hand seals. Scarred Uchiha didn't saw him using that seqeunce before and it doesn't match any jutsu he met before.
Something was diffrent. So Hiruko finally decided to try and absorb him completly?
"There's many ways to remain young and beautiful." smirked slightly. Yeah, he hides his disfigured face to avoid being recognized. "During my fight with Senju Hashirama. I used the power of First Hokage to prolong my life until I found half-dead corpse of boy under these rocks. He was young, unlike me. I took the body of Obito Uchiha and made it my own, including his Sharingan."
Obito sat down on the rubble, lifted his mask and put kiseru into his mouth. He put weapons aside and lit his long pipe, enjoying the new tobacco brand. It looks like he can't use any kind of ninjutsu anymore. Except one.
"So it's your doing, Madara Uchiha." sent him displeased look, pretty annoyed.
Things were procceeding smoothly, too smoothly. What about Kisame and Naruto? Obito wondered if Kyuubi Jinchuuriki will show himself soon, or not. The most important part of the plan is to let Naruto finish Hiruko. When that brat will be exhausted enough, then they shall snatch him and leave. So much theory. The reality may be diffrent.
"What's with that face? You wanted that dead kiddo for yourself, meanie?" shrugged nonchalantly. He placed some chakra stakes during impaling enemy with wooden roots and Hiruko earlier sucked some of his chakra, including his will.
"You said once you have had complete control over stuff you absorb. Let's try it." Madara closed his eyes with pure amusement, feeling the strong fury growing inside Hiruko, just like wild, pricked animal with blind rage.
Perfect.
After all, he had to use that jutsu. What a drag.
"I'LL ABSORB YOU FIRST, MADARA!"
Hiruko landed on high pile of rubble, next to him, ready to start the rite. He seemed exasperated and totally lose his calm, proud demaneour of invicible person. He wanted to start the rite here and now, kill him and later Kakashi.
Suddenly Obito got very strange impression of being attracted to Hiruko and searing pain coming from his right eye socket. Blue-green Chimera substance rised from the ground and surrounded him. The Akatsuki leader paled slightly. Damn it! So he could do it from the start! Obito gritted his teeth. After cursing his enemy mentally he forced himself to remain calm and enjoy the taste of new tobacco brand. It was smoky, but with the bittersweet accent at the end.
"Tasty" after a few seconds he clapped his hands. "Will Materialisation."

Kakashi saw both of them. Masked Madara and Hiruko facing together, in strange stage. Madara sat on the pile of rubble smoking kiseru, with his weapons lying aside, surrounded by Chimera substance. He wore ancient red armour, damaged on right side. His naked skin had sickly pale shade, rather unnatural. Hiruko stood on the next pile of rubble. busy with performing the rite formula, ready to absorb him or Madara. He was severly injured, three holes gaping in his torso, leaking with jelly substance.
Akatsuki member seemed bored, maybe unware of the rite, or overconfident. Hiruko was desperate and furious.
Damn. It's worse than it's supposed to be in the worst case scenario.
The air was tense from that dark, hateful aura coming from Madara which sit here with clapped hands. Slowly, the dark violet and blue chakra shroud surrounded both of them. Hiruko tensed suddenly and Madara raised his right hand.
"Obey." said soft, subtle voice, with menacing tinge underneath. "Hatake Kakashi. The Konoha finest shinobi can't defeat trashy God-wannabe nukenin?"
Madara opened his eyes and pointed to his scratched hitai-ate with his kiseru, still remaining in the same position.
"Madara. I should have known earlier you could be involved in that mess. You're Uchiha Madara, after all. So you had survived."
"I can't dance with you now, Copy-Nin."
Kakashi blocked the incoming attack of Kisame in last second. Suddenly his visual acuity in his left eye worsened.
"Impossible" murmured. What happened with Obito's Sharingan? It never happened to him before and he saw the world just like with his original, right eye.
Only Uchiha and original owner of the Sharingan can control the chakra flow through the Sharingan. Implanted Sharingan will always remain active. Unless. That man armour was damaged and he saw naked skin. White Zetsu skin has similar shade.
He saw fragment of naked skin in diffrent shade and that shade matches perfectly to one person.
Samehada plunged into his abdomen, taking out his chakra. Then Kisame kicked him, sending him into ground. Tobi remained still, focused on controlling Hiruko.
Kakashi looked at the sky, panting heavily. His body was numb and shark man came closer to him, sharp skin of Samehada touching his left side. But he knew what to do now.
"So tired, Kakashi Hatake? You killed Zabuza, get up!" asked Kisame mockingly.
Obito. Is that you?
What a mess. First, he have to take out Madara, who took over Hiruko. Now he's busy with Kisame, the new partner of Uchiha Madara. Second, he have to defeat Hiruko. That damn, masked Uchiha is the key to everything. Where is Naruto? How did Madara get Obito's Sharingan or there's another possibility? It can't be.
Please, let it turn to be Madara, not him. Not Obito.
A/N: Hope you enjoy!
