"The perfect ninja the perfect weapon."

Chapter 27

"Old memories, danger, help from the dead."

The minute Ritsuki left the kingdom the high council mobilized the army.

Called every male dragon to pick up an armor and prepare for battle against one of their own.

They knew what the older Silverwing sibling was capable of. Him being the best fighter in this beautiful land.

The "red alarm" mobilization also came from the fear that when the elder son of Roisin returns…he won't be alone.

Soon the sky was full of dragons flying back and forth carrying pieces of metal, cannon balls and healing supplies towards the great silver facility.

Every dragon that lived on the territory controlled by Roisin was gathered in the Silverwing castle, in order to get more man power for the army that was out of practice, since the peace trinity made between their kind and the rest of the dragon kingdoms after Rigo's death.

Kakashi watched the gigantic flying warriors in the sky in both amazement and guilt.

These brave soldiers were ready to fight and die just to keep him safe.

Him. A small, worthless boy.

The small Hatake growled at his patheticness.

It was his fault Roisin was in a coma and couldn't help. Tell them what to do.

It was his fault Ritsuki ran away, feeling betrayed by his own kind.

It was because of him Reiko in now half blind, unable to cope with the loss of a brother. Unable to rule the kingdom.

And it was his entire fault that the kingdom was in danger. For they had no idea what the unstable dragon prince was going to do, now that he was beyond their field of control. And knowing just how aggressive the prince was. It was going to end with a fight.

He couldn't help but feel guilty. Because if he hadn't come here, none of this would have happened.

The Hatake kicked a small stone in silent anger earning a confused look from Niteroi who materialized a few hours ago, in the size of a normal wolf with one multicolored tail.

"You okay bro?" The demon asked walking up to the boy.

"You live in my head." Kakashi barked hiding his hands in his packets. "Shouldn't you know?" He added looking up at the dimensions sun.

It was just as big as the one on Earth but it shined a little duller, so didn't hurt to look at it directly.

"Come on. Don't tell me you're beating yourself for everything that happened." Nite said after reading his mind, when the boy didn't answer he groaned. "Kashi you had no control over what happened. You couldn't know Ritsuki will betray us. Nobody expected that."

"But I'm a genius." The teen argued. "I should have seen the signals he was sending that were pointing at the sign "betrayer", the minute I heard about his sick jealousy and desire to rule."

"But you didn't and there is nothing you can do about it now."

Kakashi sighted loudly kicking another rock. "I know. I just wish this whole story went differently." He buried his hand in the wolf's thick black fur. "I wish I wasn't a puppet just asking to be controlled by madmen because of a simple jutsu that seemingly everyone can activate." He ran his hand across the demon's back, enjoying its softness and warmth. "I wish none of the bad things ever happened. That this is all just a sick nightmare I'm stuck in." He stopped for a minute. "I wish I could just wake up and see Roisin looking at me with those silver-blue, stern but concerned, eyes of his. As if the damn battle with Madara never happened."

"I know Kashi. I know." Nite said following his little brother's gaze settling it on the yellow sun.

He loved the way it shined.

It was both big and strong jet comforting and gentle enough not to burn your eyes on eye contact.

Somehow it reminded him of hope.

"He would know what to do wouldn't he?" Kakashi's voice pulled him back to reality.

The youngest tailed demon nodded his head. "Yeah. That he would."

They stood there for a couple more minutes before Shima and Fukasaku called them inside.

"It's too dangerous for you two to be outside alone." The old frog queen said locking the solid metal door behind the boys.

Kakashi looked around the room they ended up in.

What he saw brought back his childhood memories.

It looked like a living room taken straight from one of the fairytales, Minato-sensei and Kushina-chan read to him when he was younger. Specifically the one about a guy called King Arthur and his castle called Camelot.

When Kakashi was still allowed to play, he often pretended Konoha was actually Camelot. The Hokage was the king, he himself was his most loyal knight Lancelot, Minato-sensei was the crazy wizard Merlin and Nite as his most faithful stallion Silver Hoof.

The "feast room" in the book was very similar to the one he was seeing now, only much, much, much smaller. It had a large chimney that was up to Niteroi's elbows if he was in regular size that blazed with bright yellow flames which reached his now small height.

He smiled at the warm memories and sat on a wild animal's skin, before the chimney immediately loving the warmth it gave.

"So what do we do when he finally attacks?" Niteroi asked as he lied down right next to the last Hatake like a loyal dog.

Fukasaku looked at the two sitting before the bonfire and smiled.

He never thought a human could be so close to a tailed beast but seeing them, made that thought feel like a distant stereotype.

People and demons could live together in harmony, if they were willing to forgive themselves for all those eons of pain and destruction, they both went through. With was, for the time being, impossible.

"If he attacks we'll just hide here in the castle." The old toad answered shrugging. "Ritsuki boy may be strong but he can't take down the entire army on his own."

"But what if he's not on his own?" That question surprised Fukasaku. He looked at the young prodigy that asked the question. Kakashi was looking at him with a concerned look in his dark gray eyes. "What are the odds that he…"

"That he what, brat?" Jiraya asked appearing in the doorway. He came to the dragon dimension when Shima send Teruuki to get him.

"N-Nothing. The idea was stupid anyway." Sakumo's son looked away from his self-proclaimed grandfather back to the comforting warmth of the fire.

"Spill it brat. It might be stupid to you but useful to us." The toad sanin urged.

Kakashi sighted and looked at his brother who nodded, letting him know he gave him his permission to tell.

"I was saying: What are the odds of him teaming up with Madara?"

The toads and their sanin fell silent.

They never thought of that. And jet it makes perfect sense.

Ritsuki may be hotheaded and aggressive but he wasn't stupid. He knew he didn't stand a chance against a whole army of equally strong dragon soldiers. And he was around the whole time when they discussed about the silver haired jinchuriki, so he knew the legendary Uchiha was after him.

"Damn it." Shima cursed under her breath. "Kakashi-boy is right. We're in more danger than I originally thought."

Jiraya kicked himself mentally for not seeing this sooner. They were not in just any "danger", they were in serious "Danger". With a capital "D".

For Madara knew that one jutsu he was incapable of stooping.

The legendary Susanoo.

Madara using it alone was a large force to be reckoned with, but when he merges it with Ritsuki's chakra an become the Dragon Rider Susanoo it's even more terrifying and powerful.

They wouldn't have a ghost of a chance unless…

"Kakashi have you heard about the legendary Uchiha ability called The Susanoo?" He asked and watched the two brothers exchange confused glances.

"I heard about it Jiraya-jiji. But it was back in my academy years when we were learning about human bloodlines, so I don't really remember much." The genius admitted a bit ashamed, looking into the sanins eyes.

"And why didn't you look it up before now?" Jiraya snarled angrily. That would save a lot of much needed time if he just bothered to do so back in his chunin years.

"To be honest I never thought I'd need that info." Kakashi said looking back at the fire place. "From what I remember that technique can only be used by full blooded Uchiha's. Even when I got Obito's sharingan I still wasn't a full blood."

"But you and Niteroi each have a sharingan in one of your eyes! You in your left and Nite in his right! It's a full set!" Jiraya cried out.

To be honest Kakashi never thought of it that way. Now that he thought of it, he felt like a last idiot for not realizing this sooner, and using it to his advantage.

Niteroi didn't seem proud of himself either, as he grumbled about the eye bloodlines blinding him or something similar to that.

"Okay Jiraya-jiji, I admit. I'm an idiot for not seeing it sooner, but what about the Susanoo?" Kakashi asked looking at his "grandpa" for answers.

Jiraya smiled. Finally he outsmarted the Hatake brat.

"We're gonna teach that so you can fight Madara's and Ritsuki's combined form when he arrives."

Both, the host and the demon looked at him as if he was crazy.

"What?" The sanin barked feeling insulted.

"You do realize to learn or copy that technique we need an Uchiha who mastered it. And as long as I remember the only Uchiha who managed that was Madara. And I don't think he'd be kind enough to share that bit of info." Niteroi said raising an eyebrow.

"I agree on the part with the Uchiha." Nite and Kakashi high-fived. "But who said we need a living Uchiha to help us." Jiraya smiled at the confused looks on the two youngsters faces.

"Huh?"

"What do you mean?"

Shima shook her head at the two confused boys.

"What Jiraya-boy means." She started slowly, turning the kids attention to herself. "That he's going to summon Madara Uchiha's father Mikadashi Uchiha to teach you that jutsu."

For a minute there was nothing but silence.

Then they reacted just the way she knew they would.

"AWESOME!" Niteroi yelled bouncing up and down in excitement while Kakashi simply smiled at the older boy's enthusiasm.

Madara growled under his breath.

Combining chakra with a dragon was harder than he thought which mostly was because of the flying lizards lack of patience and hotheaded nature.

But the dragons and the brat don't know about the fact that the dragon joined him so it's not like he was in a hurry or anything.

"Calm down Ritsuki." He stated trying to smother the burning anger in the young dragon's eyes. "Again."

He let his blue Susanoo form around the lizard's body as well, making it grow in size and power.

The result was his Susanoo form sitting on an even larger, red Susanoo dragon.

But they only managed it for a few seconds before the concentration was broken.

But he's patient.

They'll perfect it when they're ready.

And the day they do, will be the day the dragon dimension falls.
