Kakashi was currently watching Jiraya and Akio fight Madara. Gai already joined the fight yet Kakashi was hiding trying to think of a plan.

"Let's go!" a voice ordered from Kakashi's side. It turned out to be a lightening nin group of three, two of whom had already joined the fight.

"You can't get him like you generally would" Kakashi advised him

"My jutsu is extremely fast, it'll do the job before his weird skill can save him" the nin said arrogantly

"It might actually, but we need to lure him" Kakashi decided it would be best to work with him.

"What do you have in mind?" the nin asked apparently willing to work with Kakashi as well even though the two villages never had a strong bond.

"I'll summon my dragon and I'll lure him over that open area" Kakashi pointed to a wide open area with only two trees and a boulder "He won't suspect somebody hiding ready to ambush him in such an open area, you'll jutsu will hit him before he can react"

"Good plan" the nin smirked "Let's do it"

Kakashi nodded and started forming the seals to summon Kioshi while the other nin went over to hide.

As the smoke cleared Kioshi sighed "You just summoned me fifteen minutes ago"

Kakashi smiled idiotically "Hopefully this will be the last but for now I need your help to lure Madara into the open space"

Kioshi raised an eyebrow at the weird location but Kakashi simply waved her off not having the time to explain.

Madara was soon overwhelmed by the opponents, yet he was being forced to an open area in the back. That would be to his advantage as nowbody would be able to hide and he can finish them off rather quickly.

"Now!" Kakashi yelled to Kioshi who sent wind blades at Madara who avoided them and hid behind one of the trees. A yell, a thud, Madara was dead.

"That was surprisingly fast" Kakashi commented as he jumped off of Kioshi to make sure the body was dead along with various other ninja. Madara's head was chopped off. Kakashi suspected a clean cut from a wind jutsu.

Shizune ran over and began examining the body, everybody knew she was Tsunade's apprentice and trusted her judgment.

"Nice teamwork" the lightening ninja came up to Kakashi "My name is Sumo, by the way, Hatake Kakashi."

"Pleasure" Kakashi nodded respectfully "I'm just glad it is over"

"Not really, the ninja named Zetsu managed to get away" Sumo said

"Pretty smart of him knowing when he was cornered" Kakashi mused "If Madara wasn't so cocky he would've managed to get away easily and survive"

"Luckily for us he was arrogant" Sumo smiled

A loud bang was heard and Kakashi immediately found himself blocking somebody's sword. To his surprise it was none other than Sasuke.

"You took away my revenge, Kakashi, and now I'll take your life" Sasuke stated with so much malice Kakashi barely managed to suppress a shudder. All around him Orochimaru's henchmen were fighting his allies. Akio and Jiraya, already tired from their fight with Madara were forced into a battle with Orochimaru.

Kakashi, exhausted, could only dodge Sasuke's punches. However, one of Sasuke's punches landed painfully on Kakashi's shoulders. Kakashi gasped in pain and Sasuke took advantage of that and threw more punches Kakashi's way.

"He wants to beat me to death" Kakashi realized as his back smashed into the wall behind him and Sasuke put all his strength in a punch right in Kakashi's gut.

Kakashi doubled over in pain and started coughing. But Sasuke didn't give him time to recuperate and grasped him from his neck and smashed him in to the wall choking him to death.

"You'll pay for killing him" Sasuke spat. While Sasuke was choking Kakashi he removed his mask. "I want you to die uncomfortably, I want you to be begging for death"

"Rasengan!" a voice yelled and Sasuke moved just in time as Kakashi slumped to the floor gasping for air.

"Sensei!" Sakura was next to him already laying him down to examine him. Kakashi felt himself losing his conscious slowly and did everything in his power to prevent it.

Sakura took of his torso and began to examine his wounds. She noticed patches of burnt skin here and there, nothing too serious. Some cuts also decorated his chest and his back, a few bruises were scattered along his chest. One nasty bruise was tinted with blue, violet and red.

She noticed immediately that it was inner bleeding and began to work on it. Kakashi, like usual, was stubbornly trying to get up.

"Relax, sensei" Sakura chided him gently "Leave Sasuke to Naruto". When Kakashi focused his attention on her she realized how tired he must be.

A light blush crept up her face when she finally realized he wasn't wearing his mask. 'He's handsome, I wonder why he wears that thing anyway' she thought

While she was healing him she noticed that he was fighting sleep and she smiled sympathetically.

"I need to get him out of here" she murmured. She managed to stop the inner bleeding, but even so, Kakashi was in no condition to fight.

"Get out of the way, Naruto" Sasuke glared at Naruto "This is none of your business"

"You are hurting those precious to me" Naruto snarled taking a step forward, holding his ground "You made it my business"

"So the only way I'll get to Kakashi is by killing you" Sasuke smirked and drew his sword with startling speed "Shouldn't be too hard"

Naruto simply glared yet inside he was hurting. What happened to Sasuke?

"Sensei we need to get out of here" she ordered him "You are in no condition to fight and if somebody attacks, I might be too overwhelmed to protect you"

Kakashi nodded gruffly and got up slowly, she held him by the waist to support him and bounded off.

Sasuke and Naruto were in the heat of battle when Sasuke noticed Sakura running away with Kakashi. 'Looks like I don't have time to bother with the idiot' he thought as he dodged a shuriken that was lamely tossed at him.

Sasuke followed them with Naruto in pursuit of him. Gai noticed that twist as he killed of another of Orochimaru's henchmen.

"Go after them" Genma told Gai who wasted no time in following them.
