As Sasuke continues his quest to destroy his brother, he comes to a small clearing with two ninjas sparring. He notices that one of the ninja (Shiorio) is using ninjutsu of each element, and even occasionally some ice and wood style techniques. The ninjas stop sparring as Shiorio turns toward Sasuke, who would have been hidden from sight of any normal ninja. "Well, if it isn't Sasuke Uchiha. Still haven't killed your brother I see. I guess that's for the best though, killing someone for saving your life seems strange to me." Sasuke looks at Shiorio like he's an idiot. "Saving my life? How is killing our entire clan saving my life?" "Your entire clan? Last I checked there were five of us left, that is, if I still count." "You expect me to believe that you are an Uchiha? Or are you just another one of that demon fox's little experiments?" Shiorio seems shocked. "Wait, the demon fox? The white one? He shouldn't have that power, unless..." Shiorio vanishes in a flash of light. Sasuke turns to the other ninja. "I demand answers, what did he mean five Uchiha? Counting him and Obito, there should only be four." The other ninja (Raiku) looks at Sasuke with an arrogant look on his face. "Well, if you really think there are four, who am I to tell you you're wrong? I guess I'll just have to make sure that you're right. Now die at the hands of the Lord of Destruction!"
(Battle Scene)
Raiku rushes toward Sasuke, pulling a katana from seemingly nowhere. Sasuke parries the strike easily and a short sword battle ensues, if you call Sasuke blocking a barrage of rough, amateurish sword strikes a battle. Knowing he cant compete in a sword battle, Raiku steps back and begins throwing kunai and shuriken wildly throughout the battlefield. "What is this Raiku guy doing? It's like he's not even trying to hit me. Something's strange here." Sasuke decides to go on the offensive before he falls into whatever trap his opponent is trying to set. He counterattacks with a barrage of kunai and fire jutsu, seemingly avoiding the chidori for some reason. Raiku responds with defensive earth style techniques while still blindly throwing kunai, furthering Sasuke's suspicions that a trap is being set. After Sasuke is finally lured to the center of the battlefield, Raiku stops running and uses earth style to make the battlefield level again. "Poor poor Uchiha, falling right into my trap." Raiku raises one hand and all of the kunai and shuriken on the battlefield raise into the air. "Fear the power of magnetism." As Raiku lowers his hand, the objects lifted by the magnetism are hurled at Sasuke, who dodges most of the original barrage, but seems to be having trouble dealing with the fact that as long as Raiku has chakra and there are magnetic objects around, this technique is unending. "Magnetism huh? Well then... Chidori Current" The electricity of the chidori temporarily disrupts the magnetic field, stopping Raiku's jutsu. A look of sheer arrogance appears on Raiku's face after seeing Sasuke perform a lightning jutsu. "You have no clue what you just did do you, now that I know your trump card is lightning, you don't stand a chance. Of course, no one stands a chance against me in a lightning element battle, good bye Uchiha boy." After making about thirty hand signs, Raiku begins to unleash his second strongest technique (after Black Lightning, also this technique is unnamed). Electricity begins emanating from Raiku's body as if all of his chakra was being changed to electricity. Just before it seems that Raiku will unleash his technique, Sasuke throws a flash bomb into the air. The flash distracts Raiku for long enough to make his jutsu unstable. At this point Sasuke raises his hand and reveals his chidori, he closes his hand and the electricity from Raiku's jutsu crashes inward. Yet another arrogant opponent destroyed by Sasuke Uchiha, master of lightning.

(Note that the Sasuke-Itachi battle has not taken place yet. Review yes for battle to happen or no for Itachi to come back to the leaf.)
