A week after he got back, Kyle walked with Kakashi to the training grounds, wearing his usual clothes, though now he had a long-sleeve black shirt and a black glove on his left hand.
"Where were you two?" Sakura asked.
"Well..." Kakashi said.
"We, err..." Kyle said.
"Helped a kitten out of a tree for a little girl." Kakashi said.
"But the kitten suddenly turned into a cat-girl." Kyle said.
"So, using our ninja abilities, we saved the little girl who had been forced into tricking us." Kakashi said.
"Then, we had to teach the cat-girl right and wrong, as all good men are expected to do." Kyle said.
"Being a long, hard lesson to learn, we were late." Kakashi said.
"But we saved several lives, so it was worth it." Kyle said.
The others stared blankly at the two.
"It's true." Kyle shrugged.
"What's with your hand?" Haku asked, sitting where Kyle usually sat.
"Um," Kyle said, pointing to where Haku was sitting. "That's my seat."
"It doesn't have your name on it." Haku said.
"It does, actually." Kyle said.
Haku looked at the tree, where 'Kyle Uchiha-Meiki' was carved.
Haku laughed, moving.
"Thanks." Kyle said, laying under the tree, putting his right hand under his head and laying his left hand on his stomach. "As to your question, you'll see what's up with my hand soon."
Itachi walked out of the forest, wearing a black jacket that was like his Akatsuki jacket. Kyle had a talk with Sasuke about Itachi, and had told him everything that had happened. Sasuke understood, and now Itachi lived with the two for the rest of his life.
"Hello," Itachi nodded, standing beside Sasuke and Kyle.
"'Sup?" Kyle asked.
"I want to see you two fight." Itachi said.
"So does Haku." Kyle smiled. "Hopefully, I don't bore you."
"Right," Kakashi said. "Who wants to go first?"
Everyone looked expectantly at Kyle.
"What?" Kyle asked. "Are you guys really that eager to see what's under the clothes on my arm?"
"Yeah!" Naruto shouted.
Kyle frowned, and stood up, brushing himself off.
"And who will fight Kyle?" Kakashi asked.
Kyle played with his eye-patch as they all decided on Haku.
"Don't worry." Haku smiled. "I won't hurt you too bad."
Kyle just began singing to himself. "Hear the sound of the falling rain/Coming down like an Armageddon flame/The shame/The ones who died without a name."
"Go." Kakashi said, reading his book.
Haku charged at Kyle, lowering her eye-patch, though her eyelid stayed closed. She began using a chidori, but Kyle grabbed her wrist. The electricity went through his arm, causing him to fly across the field.
Kyle landed a few feet back on the ground, then stood and rolled his sleeve off, showing grey steel where his arm used to be.
"Y'know, Haku," Kyle said, a blade coming out of his robotic forearm. "Kankurou did wonders to this prosthetic arm."
"What the hell?" Naruto asked.
Kyle flexed his fingers, then put the blade up. "Still want to fight?"
Haku smiled, determined. "You bet."
Kyle quickly did a jutsu, and a ball of fire appeared in his metal hand. Then, he charged at Haku.
