Here's the twenty sixth chapter, please read, enjoy and review.
Naruto, Hinata and Brandon ate the stew, and continued with their daily activity's. They had a mission to do. The next day, Sakura, Kakashi, Neji and Lee made their way across the great Naruto bridge. They walked around the village for a bit, until they saw a man, about seven feet tall, wearing an Shadow Village ANBU uniform. So they followed him, they followed him into the forest. They followed him until they stopped at an area in the forest, it was the area that Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura had practiced using the chakra concentration technique. They hid in tree's and watched as the man approached a young man and a young woman.
The two young one's wore Leaf ANBU outfits, Neji quickly activated the Byakugan to see who were behind the masks. But he couldn't see behind them, that meant that the masks must have been made of rare materials, because the Byakugan can see through many things, even an ANBU mask. Before the four Shinobi could move a muscle the young man spoke, "We know your there. So why don't you four come on out?"
Kakashi's, Sakura's, Lee's and Neji's eyes opened wide at the statement, how could they have been spotted? "Don't make me ask twice."
At that Kakashi, Sakura, Lee and Neji jumped out of the tree's and landed on the ground, about a dozen or so feet away from the three ANBU impersonators. "Why are you here?"
Kakashi looked at the three younger Shinobi and then spoke, "We're on a mission, to capture you three. You can come peacefully or we can take you by force, it's your choice."
The young man laughed, "Ha ha ha. Now see, that's not happening. You four are no match for us. We can crush you four in a matter of seconds, if we wanted to."
Kakashi scoffed, "Such arrogance."
"That may be so, but it's the truth. You four should return to your village before you get hurt."
'We're not leaving until we've completed our mission."
The young man then disappeared, and reappeared behind the four Shinobi, "Ok then, you want a fight? Then you'll get a fight."
Neji and Lee then turned around and both threw a right haymaker at the young man, he caught the punches in his hands with ease. "Hmph. Is that it?"
Sakura dashed towards the young woman ANBU impersonator, she brought back her right arm and went for a right hook, but the young girl just moved to the side as if it was nothing. "Your going to wish you never asked for a fight."
Kakashi pulled his headband off of his eye, revealing his sharingan and dashed towards the tall ANBU impersonator. Brandon was confused, he couldn't help but think, "Wait a minute...when did Kakashi get a sharingan? He's not an Uchiha."
Brandon just shrugged it off, he would find out later. Kakashi went for a heavy right haymaker, only for it to be guarded by the tall man, like it was nothing. "Your going to regret coming after me and my students Kakashi."
"Your students?"
Kakashi then pulled his arm back and used his left arm for a left hook, but the tall man caught it in his hand. He then brought up his knee to slam into Kakashi's gut, but Kakashi brought up his own knee in defense. The two then jumped away from each other and stared at one and other. The ANBU impersonator charged at Kakashi and threw a strong right hook, only for Kakashi to catch it with his left hand. He then threw a left haymaker, which Kakashi caught as well. The man quickly slammed his head into Kakashi's, effectively landing a strong headbutt. Kakashi let go of the man's fists and stumbled back from the force.
The man quickly capitalized on this, he stepped forward and delivered a heavy jab to Kakashi's gut, knocking the wind out of him. The man then raised his right arm and slammed his elbow into the back of Kakashi's head, knocking him down onto the ground. The man then brought his right leg back and shot it forward, but before the man could kick him, Kakashi caught his leg, twisted his hand's to add more pressure and then slammed the man onto the ground. Kakashi quickly got to his feet, but so did the ANBU impersonator. The two both rushed each other, Kakashi went for a right hook, while the man went for a left hook.
Both attacks hit, both of them slammed their fists into each other's faces. Both of them stumbled back from this, but quickly recomposed themselves. Both jumped several feet back, the man put his hands together and formed multiple hand signs, Kakashi, using the sharingan, mimicked the man's hand signs. This went on for several seconds, Kakashi realized that the man was just toying with him and quickly formed his own hand signs. "Shadow clone jutsu!"
Three more Kakashi's appeared and raced towards the man, he quickly dispatched them, but Kakashi was already charging his lightning blade. When the man focused his full attention on Kakashi, he charged forward, "Lightning Blade!"
The man watched for several seconds as Kakashi got closer to him, and when he was less than five feet away the man formed the Lightning Blade as well, "Lightning Blade!"
The two slammed their Lightning Blades together, and as they struggled to break each other's lightning blade, they stared into each other's eyes. Well the man did, but Kakashi couldn't see past the mask. "What, you know the Lightning Blade?"
Kakashi realizing that his Lightning Blade was equal to the ANBU impersonators, quickly started charging another technique, while keeping the man's Lightning Blade at bay with his own. Brandon knew that his Lightning Blade was equal to Kakashi's so he began forming another technique. Several seconds later, Brandon formed the Rasengan. At the same time Kakashi had formed a Rasengan in his left hand, he quickly brought it up and shot it forward. Only for it to be slammed into another Rasengan, "What? You know the Rasengan as well?"
"Don't you remember Kakashi? You were there when I was taught the Lightning Blade and the Rasengan. You and your Sensei taught them to me."
"What? That's impossible! Brandon?"
"You got it!"
Brandon then thrusted his Rasengan and Lightning Blade forward, breaking through Kakashi's Lightning Blade and Rasengan. Brandon slammed both of them into Kakashi's chest, the Rasengan fluctuated and the Lightning Blade crackled, and they both exploded. This sent both Kakashi and Brandon flying backwards, they both flew several feet until they crashed through several tree's. Brandon was back on his feet in no time, Kakashi on the other hand took several long seconds to get on his feet and recompose himself. The two stared at each other, Brandon quickly removed his mask, revealing his face.
Kakashi could see it now, this man standing in front of him was Brandon Bingham. The person he and Minato, his sensei, taught two of their best techniques to. But why would he be here? Why with these two young Shinobi? What were they up to, really? "Long time no see Kakashi."
"Brandon, what's going on? Why are you dressed as a Hidden Shadow ANBU? Who are these two young Shinobi? And what are you three doing out here?"
"That I'm afraid, is an answer you'll have to wait for. Because if I told you, then that would put my pupils in jeopardy. And that isn't going to happen."
Kakashi gritted his teeth, he didn't know what was going on, how powerful Brandon really is and if Brandon needed to be taken out for good. He just didn't know, that bothered him a great deal. "I'll give you one more chance Kakashi, go back to the Hidden Leaf Village, before I have to severely hurt you."
Kakashi was panting this whole time, those two jutsu slammed into his chest really got to him, he didn't know if he had any strength left, because he could barely breathe. Kakashi dashed towards Brandon anyway, Brandon grinned and charged forward as well. Both of them brought up their arms for haymaker's, time to see who has more brute strength. They both got up close to one and other, and shot their arm's forward, slamming both fo their fists into both of their faces. Both of them had flooded their arms with chakra, so these punches knocked both of them down onto the ground, but after several seconds Brandon stood up.
He wiped the blood dripping from his lower lip onto his sleeve and took a deep breath. He couldn't help but think, "Kakashi your a fool. When I broke through your techniques and hit you with a Rasengan and a Lightning Blade, I gained a significant advantage. Once I hit you with those, you wouldn't be able to fight back very much. It's too bad too, because I really wanted to see which one of us is stronger. To tell the truth, it's probably you."
