A/N: Surprise, surprise! You could say this is your early Christmas present! Possibly new chapter by Christmas. But anyways, this is five days elapse between the installment of the previous chapter and the current chapter. That's fast update right? The reason why it was fast update is because this chapter was already written since I split five chapters 110-115 nearly 6 months ago.

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Franchise or Naruto Franchise, but I OWN VEGETA!

Vegeta: No, you DO NOT OWN ME! IF YOU SAY THAT AGAIN, I WILL BLAST YOU OFF! AKIRA OWNS ME!

Me: WHOA! Relax! I'm kidding. Everyone knows that I do not own you. But most certainly, I do own Uchiha Fayre, Paradox, and Guure, and rests of other worthless OCs, though! Now enjoy the story, people!

Chapter 115: The Story's End

Age 763, December 1- Near Konoha Academy, Konohagakure, Land of Fire- Tenzo vs Raid

The werewolf rapidly lunged his claws at Tenzo at high speed rate, while an ANBU cat mask user parried every single lunge attack with his ninjato. He knew Raid's claws were so dangerous. If he instead used his arms to parry the claws, it would greatly have wounded them. Claws were like a kunai. A pair of sharp nails could skewer his arms if he defended with his arms only. Good thing that he used his brain to defend himself with a ninjato in his hands.

Raid could hear a little growl from Tenzo beneath the mask. He could tell that there was clearly frustrated in Tenzo's tone.

Indeed, Tenzo was completely overwhelmed by the pressure that Raid was giving him for the most of fight. He did not even let an ANBU to retaliate. All Raid did was attacking, which forced the ANBU to shift on his guard whole time. Raid was giving him a sadistic smirk, what seemed like a bloodthirsty.

He must find a way to stop Raid's aggressive relentless attack. With each slam on his kunai, the pressure increased, barely knocking him away. He forced his feet to skid on the ground, preventing any further knockback. He looked up, only to use his ninjato to block one of the strong claw attack by the werewolf.

However, he felt the overwhelm by the sheer of Raid's power when he felt the pressure on his ninjato. He strained himself in attempt to overpower the werewolf, but his feet started to push backward.

The long he struggled to fend off the werewolf, the more the werewolf will continue to overpower him.

'What's this?' The ANBU in the mask that resembled a cat was taken aback by the silhouette of giant werewolf looming over him, but he knew it was just a silhouette of the werewolf. 'It feels like he's trying to intimidate me with his aura.'

He knew he was not going to be able to overpower the werewolf with that power alone. He knew he needed to get out of the way and preserved the strategy soon. Maybe he was thinking he should work with Kakashi to defeat the werewolf together.

Suddenly, his ninjato bent forcefully, as it looked like it was ready to break in half. He widened his eyes in shock. 'What?! It's breaking!' He thought obviously. 'By only a hand? How does one manage to break my ninjato with a little effort, let alone a mere hand?'

Tenzo just felt the aura emitted from the werewolf that seemed like his willpower grew bigger by the every second. He was still seeing the silhouette of the werewolf looming over him. He knew he was losing the battle against him at this moment. There's no way he could defend himself against the bloodthirsty monster with his ninjato which was about to be split up.

Realization dawned on his face. He would need to get out of the way to avoid the potential lethal attack. That one claw attack might have ended his life if he did not hurry to get out.

The next moment, his ninjato bent too way back, as it shattered and broken in half pieces. The top half of his ninjato flew and spun away, leaving him in shock. He just stared in shock at the werewolf, who just crept his mouth into a wide grin, but very sadistic one. That werewolf was ready to claw the blood out of him right now. His claw was near the inch of his face.

He made a grunt noise, as he worked his way to back off from very lethal claw. He had no choice. He had to dodge. Otherwise, he probably would be seeing his own guts intestines, if he would not dodge.

He titled his head back, barely dodging the claw swipe across his mask. Unfortunately, because very sharp nail of that werewolf's claw managed to scratch his mask, shattering his mask into a million of pieces. But it did not harm her nonetheless.

He successfully dodged. He realized that his mask was destroyed, but he knew that it was not matter. What mattered was he needed to get rid of the werewolf to protect the Konoha. But how? How can he defeat the werewolf who was very aggressive and would inflict a painful damage to the opponent? Before he fully jumped away, he saw the smug smirk, what seemed like a victory.

"You dodged it." Was most obvious comment ever from the werewolf. What was he excited about? What was there to excite about missing a critical hit?

Suddenly, a shockwave emitted from the werewolf's claw that was missing his opponent suddenly knocked away. His body skyrocketed away and slammed through the wooden wall, but that did not stop him. His body continued to fly away through yet another wooden wall behind the one that he recently went through, still sending away through, up to the point where there was another building. Finally, his body bounced off the wall and fell on the ground, face-first.

All that just happened were in a matter of a second from the point when his ninjato was broken in half to just now.

He groaned. That was sure a hard knock back, but as an ANBU, he was trained to take a hard knock back and a hard fall like that. Although it was hurt, he still managed to get up and looked up, widening his eyes. The werewolf burst through the sky towards him with the intention to inflict more harm on him, along with his huge sadistic grin. Perhaps a bloodthirsty grin. Must be werewolf's side effect. Only a common sense that his personality would suddenly shifted when he transformed.

He recalled that the rain indeed did change Raid back to human form. He gained upper hand on Raid for a while, as it was in his favor to win the fight. However, Raid had trick up his sleeves. Apparently, there was a potion that allowed him to transform back into the werewolf, immune to the rain, but only for a certain amount of time. It estimated about 10 minutes. At least in Raid's estimation. So far, it was only 5 minutes. Upper hand now shifted to Raid.

He realized he must jump before he could dodge the werewolf. He did not want to get caught up in one of his 'shockwave' ability. He just figured that every time he dodged any of the werewolf's attack, he would be struck by the shockwave. That happened twice to him. There was way to dodge Raid's attack, although. It was all about timing. He was going to test his theory on that one.

He just waited and waited for Raid to start a move. He expected Raid to do something. He expected a move that Raid frequently used before attacking. Once Raid did his thing, that was when he needed to make a move.

As soon as Raid cracked the ground which he used the strength of his legs, slightly crouching down, Tenzo noticed that. Now that was the time he should 'dodge' the werewolf's attack. He hoped his theory would be proven correct. He suddenly jumped, apparently at the same time the werewolf jumped forward.

The werewolf was too fast. The moment he jumped, he already destroyed the building where it formerly was behind Tenzo. He glared up at Tenzo who still jumped into the sky. 'Has he figured out the weakness of my ability? If that's what you're playing at, I will show you how truly dangerous I am.'

Tenzo confirmed that his theory had been proven correct. He would assume that he needed to dodge the attack within 6 feet. Any less than 6 feet would knock him away despite dodging it. As long as he can dodge earlier than normal, he would be fine.

While jumping into the sky, Tenzo gawked down at Raid who already soared through the sky towards him. He looked worry, but when he looked past the werewolf, he just noticed that there was nowhere of Iruka in sight. He smiled a little, knowing that Iruka and children had escaped. That meant he could go all-out right now.

He quickly weaved through the hand signs. "Mokuton: Daijurin no Jutsu! (Wood Style: Giant Forest Jutsu)"

He raised his left arm that aimed towards his enemy, as it slowly morphed into many branches and at the same time, they changed the ends into sharp stakes, turn them into countless, sharp, spear-like piercing weapons.

Raid's smirk curled up into a big grin with a smug expression. He knew he was the fastest on his planet. No one could surpass him in the game of the speed! He could guarantee that he would dodge all of them with ease.

When Tenzo extended his branches towards the werewolf, Raid simply evaded to dodge them and continued towards him. But what he did not realize was that a single branch just sprouted out of a branch branches that he dodged, as it extended faster towards him until he finally noticed it at the last moment.

At that moment, he barely dodged it at very last second. He thought it was a simple technique which allowed the user to sprout a bunch of branches at once. He had seen that before. But it was two types of that technique? He was tricked, but not even they could take him down. He could dodge all of them, even if repeatedly.

He smirked. If that was the challenge, then he would take it. He loved a tough challenge. The challenge was to reach Tenzo.

He just followed his eyes on the branch where it extended past. He looked around, and noticed that it sprouted new branch, slowly. Just a small branch. But as soon as it stopped extending, it created new branch out of most recent branch.

"Heh… C'mon… Is this the best you can do?!" taunted Raid, preparing for new branch to start attacking him. But he did not realize that there was a newly formed branch behind him.

As Tenzo was still ascending into the sky, he began to descend due to the gravity that was pulling him back down. He paid no mind to his descend right now, as he was focusing intensely on very dangerous werewolf. 'Make sure he doesn't notice this. Please let him not notice it.' He also had an additional to his recent plan. He hoped his plan would work, since his enemy was the toughest enemy he ever fought so far.

In front of the werewolf, Raid quickly dodged one of branch that attacked him. However, while he was currently on the progress of after-dodge move, he just noticed another branch that just sprouted and drew out towards him from the behind.

He widened his eyes in shock. He knew he must made a move as soon as possible. If he didn't, he would be skewered already. Thanks to his bukujutsu technique, he had to force his own legs to move up and used his body to dodge the branch that just went past beneath him. His back just landed on the recent created branch, as he looked up, only to notice that another branch was just created and formed above him, creating five branches that were pointing at him.

He widened his eyes, which seemed like a panic. "Oh, sh—" His sentence halted when five branches above suddenly skewered him. However, once they skewered him, his body faded out into nothing, but a mere image of him.

"What?!" Tenzo shocked. "Was that afterimage?"

In the ninja world, afterimage was rarely used. Even a chakra user can use them, but it never benefits them, so they created kawarini no jutsu to trick their eyes even better. It gave them a benefit of that jutsu better. But in the ninja world, whatever the afterimage was used, a person would disappear at high speed and created an image of himself, but it did not trick enemy at all. However, this type of afterimage actually tricked his eyes. How did Raid manage to trick him by using that technique? So in other words, Ki user upgraded afterimage better than the one on this planet. He still did not know how, but he was tricked either way. He must know where his enemy was at right now.

"CHIDORI!" Tenzo suddenly heard the voice yelling, but he did not have a time to react, as he felt the hand with the lightning shrouded shoved through his chest, causing him to cough up the blood.

Raid grinned at the sight of his enemy's blood, but it quickly diminished once he learned that it was not Tenzo, but instead, that man morphed into the wood clone. "What?!" The wood clone dissolved into many pieces of wooden. He landed on the floor, scanning the area for his enemy.

He began to wonder if his enemy was already prepared for that whole times. He had no idea that Elementian could anticipate many moves ahead in the near future. If he had known that Elementian was a race of smart people, he would have discussed the strategy with Zahoor who seemed to have a work of mind.

He thought they were easy preys, but he was wrong. He could not prolong the fight since he did not have a brain to figure out how to defeat smart or strong people. 'I am wrong, after all. But I do really need to end this battle right now. I'm going to finish this right now.'

He could not smell a single trace of Tenzo, or even hear and see. A ninja must be good at silence. Well, they were not a ninja for nothing. He had a feel that Tenzo was sneaking very silent and probably planned to assassinate him very soon. But he did not know where the hell his enemy was right now. That made him angered. He could not stand looking for his enemy which wasted his time. He hated wasting his time.

Suddenly, he noticed a shadow jumping out of bushes on way towards him. He did not have enough reaction time to defend himself, as the shadow revealed himself to be Tenzo and plunged a couple of kunai on both side of the neck, spewing the blood.

Tenzo finally did it. He killed his enemy. He somehow won the fight, as he saw the eyes-widen in the werewolf. It would seem that he successfully killed his enemy, or at least he thought so until… there was a puff of white smoke, revealing the log in place of the werewolf.

"What?!" Tenzo was taken aback by the sudden kawirini no jutsu. There was no way it was possible! That man was not Elementian nor was a chakra user! How did that man use kawirini no jutsu then? What's more, how did he use Kakashi's jutsu back then?

A hand clasped his mouth around and another hand wrapped around his body, holding him. He shifted, trying to get out of it, but he could not. He diverted his pupil, realizing that it was Raid behind him. How did the werewolf ambush him? Since when the werewolf had gone so quiet? Had he become a ninja now?

"You're wondering how I used Chidori and Kawirini no Jutsu, right?" Raid chuckled, whispering into his ear. "I'm going to answer you. I will indulge you before your death, because it won't matter if I reveal my secret because you're going to die. At least, you will die, knowing my name and what I am."

Tenzo struggled to break free. He tried his best to break free, but very soon, he started to feel his chakra drained or something. He did not know why or how, but he could feel that his chakra was drained. He did not have enough strength to break free anymore. His arms finally let down. 'Why am I being drained out of my chakra? Did this man did it?'

Raid smirked. "So you noticed. Yes, I'm draining your chakra, but not only that you're being drained, but I am also stealing your chakra." Tenzo widened his eyes. "Yes, you just realized it, did you? Remember the time when I was bear hugging Kakashi?"

Tenzo groaned. He indeed remembered the time when Raid was giving Kakashi a little tough time.

"I was stealing his chakra. Do you see where I'm going with now? About why I'm able to use Chidori or even Kawirini no Jutsu?"

Tenzo widened his eyes, as realization dawned on his face. Was the werewolf stealing this chakra, so he can use them again, as much as he was pleased with?

"Yes." Raid grinned, whispering more closely into his ear. "So you understand. Not just Kakashi's chakra I stole, I gained the knowledge all of his technique. But he was not the first Elementian I stole chakra off. I took many lives of Elementian to gain the benefit of their technique. Unfortunately, too many of them are useless. The only technique I managed to get were Kawirini no Jutsu, Bunshin no Jutsu and Henge no Jutsu. Only one of them is useful. One of them I used earlier in our fight, Tenzo. Other than that, I don't see any of them serving a purpose in this. In other words, I can copy every technique off a chakra use once I absorbed them. In other words, if I absorbed even a little of your chakra, I will acquire some of your useful technique. Off from Kakashi, I was able to acquire one of his techniques, thanks to your interruption."

Tenzo was relieved with sigh a little. He was glad that the only technique the werewolf managed to copy was Chidori and that's it. Only one technique of Kakashi that was used in his battle by the werewolf recently was Chidori.

"So…" Raid chuckled in very low tone into his captive's ear. He even licked his mouth in a pleasant. That gave Tenzo a bit goosebumps. That was creepy. "These wood techniques of yours… I… I liiiike it! Instead of stealing a little of your chakra, I'm going to steal your whole chakra. Do you understand what it means?"

Tenzo had no energy remaining to open his mouth, as his chakra was still being drained. His eyes started to become blurry. However, he had enough strength to answer his enemy with a mere nod. He knew he was going to die. No one could survive without a pool of chakra resided in their body. At least for these Elementians. They knew the basic concept of their chakra. Once their chakras were running out, they're dead.

"Yessss…" The werewolf hissed proudly. "You do understand that too. I will not stop until all of your chakra are transferred to mine. But as a result of that, you're going to die of exhaustion from your zero chakra! Much like Ki, you'd need your chakra to survive, right?! Now can you see what I'm going to do next after you're dead?"

Tenzo had nothing to remain here. His entire chakra was about to run out. The darkness started to fade in and out into his eyes. His death was near.

There was no response from Tenzo.

Raid smirked. "Looks like your life is about to end very soon. But I will tell you what. You're going to enjoy the afterlife once you see your best friend there very soon. Bwahahahaha!"

Raid held his head back and roared with laughter. He thought it was really pleasant to destroy his spirts. He wanted to make sure he hurt his spirit further before the death.

Tenzo's arms remained immobile, as they were hanging down. His darkness started to close onto his eyes. He wished he could shut his ears off, so he would not have to hear the annoying laughter of the werewolf. But his wish actually came true too soon. He thought his ears actually shut down because he no longer heard the laughter of his enemy.

He slowly glanced up and widened his eyes. There was an arrow stuck between the werewolf's head through both ears, as bloods leaking out of ears. The werewolf mumbled something that he could not hear at all.

He was dropped to the ground face-first, as soon as the werewolf fell to his death. He groaned, as he turned to his back on the ground. He looked up at the man on the roof, but he could not see the face because the sunlight was behind him. He wondered who that man was until he saw the Sharingan eyes staring down at him and his head titled around, which gave Tenzo a chance to get a clear look.

He widened his eyes. "Fayre…?" He recognized that face, even though last time he saw his face when Fayre was a kid. He recognized that man because he used to work as ANBU who apprehended Fayre many times after attempting to kill Kakashi many times.

But still, was he ally or enemy?

Fayre's Sharingan stared down at him with emotionless eyes. "Tenzo…" That was only word he formed out of his mouth.

Inside Konoha Academy- Kakashi vs Zahoor

Kakashi opened the door which led him into the women's restroom. There was no sight of his enemy anywhere. He even checked each stall in this room, but Zahoor was not found yet. He was annoyed. Basically, fight had turned into a hide-and-seek game. He had to find Zahoor. He knew his enemy was hiding somewhere in the academy.

He looked almost every room in this academy. Last room he looked into was a men's restroom, yet Zahoor was not there. How was it difficult to find him? Did his enemy write that he became an invisible or something? What a cheater.

With a sigh, he had to be extremely cautious. There may be a time when his enemy suddenly decided to ambush him out of nowhere. He slowly exited the women's restroom. On next door, there was a familiar door to him. He looked up at the number that labeled above the door. It was 13. That was where his old classroom was, including this was Iruka-sensei's current classroom and all Rookie Nine's former classroom. #13 room was the first room besides both restrooms he came across on the second floor of the academy.

He remembered the day when he walked into the classroom to see his new team, and he was greeted with the eraser to his head, prompted Naruto to laugh at him, Sakura profusely apologized to him, and Sasuke brooding. His first words to them were "My first impression of you… I hate you." That left them in speechless. He chuckled at his memory.

He stared at the door with determination. He couldn't afford to sidetrack right now. He still had a village to save and he still had an enemy that needed to be disposed of. Threats remained large here.

With a deep sigh, perhaps Zahoor was in that room, because it would be troublesome for him to check every door just for his enemy. He slid the door with the cautious, ensuring that he wouldn't be attacked once he opened the door. He found Zahoor sitting next to the desk with his legs leaning on it and flipping the page in the book and continued reading it.

At last, Kakashi found him. Having to search 17 doors just to find the green-skinned man bookworm was really tiresome. He had nothing to say to his enemy, as he simply stared at his opponent. He was just being cautious after all. Did not want to get caught up in one of a petty trap.

"So I heard you're a bookworm." Zahoor joked, still flipping the page in his book. The book titled Icha Icha. Kakashi was giving him a suspicious look. What was his book doing over there in his enemy's hand? No one should ruin his book! "Heh, you don't look like the type who would read a perverted book, huh? You're always carrying the book with you all the times. So I started to wonder who influenced you."

Kakashi remained silence. He just wondered how Zahoor gathered the information about him? Of course, it was no secret that he liked reading Icha Icha Paradise, the first book of a series of best-selling novels written by Jiraiya. It was romance-comedy genre about a passionate love between a man and woman that was only meant for 18 years old and above. But still, how did an alien like Zahoor knew even a little about him, let alone his name? He recalled that Zahoor called him by his name a while ago. Before their fight began.

"Fayre told me all about you."

"Oh?" Kakashi looked disinterest. Was Fayre really still alive? If Zahoor mentioned his name, then Fayre must be alive. It was really hard for him to believe that the life of that corpse he took away by his own hand by an accident was a fake about fifteen years ago. Never mind that, he felt not secured about his favorite book. He was fear for his book which could be ruined by Zahoor.

Apparently, Zahoor was very interesting in his book, because he was chuckling at some point. "Heh… This is so funny. I can understand why you love that book. It's well written. I wish there's book like this back on my planet. But although, whoever wrote that book needed to work on a romance a little bit. Some things are better left off. Some of them are too far-fetched. Plus, that author basically is turning this book into a hentai. So I'd give this book an 8/10."

Kakashi twitched his one-eye in annoyance. How dare this guy give his book an 8/10 rating? It should be 10/10! That book was so perfect. This level of drama, fluttering of the heart, burning tragedy, the evil secrets, and the beautiful love of a man and a woman is truly wonderful! That's what he would say if he were to interview with Jiraiya.

Perishing the thought of that, the village was at stake of dangerous right now. He did not have a time to argue with his enemy. He was going to finish his enemy off right now. But he could not make a move until he knew for a sure that there was no trap.

"It would seem that you're putting up with me right now." Zahoor chuckled, slamming a book together and placed it on the desk. His legs came off the desk, as he got up and walked around, which put the half-masked man on guard. He just wanted to walk around to the window, that's all. He pressed his glasses back to proper position. "I appreciate your patience today. Usually, I'd be attacked as soon as I was spotted. And they're all dead."

'It was trap. I knew it,' thought Kakashi. Good thing considering Zahoor loved to talk too much, so maybe he could kill him right there and right now. But then he anticipated another possible move ahead. What if he made a sudden move, and then Zahoor turned the table on him and killed him right now? No, he had to be more cautious. He would figure out somehow.

"Oh, look at rain. They're falling right now. It was not caused by the Mother Nature, wasn't it? It's caused by the man named Riley Harris. Anyways, thanks to that rain, my book is completely ruined. It is no longer in effective useful. The moment my book is damped with wet, the story I created ceased to become reality. In other words, what we're doing right now is no longer created by my own story. What we're doing is now freedom of our own action. You can do what you want to. I can't stop you there. I won't know what you're going to do. If you want to, you can silt my throat, bleeding all over the window right there. It would be entertaining, no? There's nothing I can do. But if you're going to listen to my rambling, then I have an offer for you."

Zahoor turned around to look at the half-masked man, who remained stood the same. "There will be no fight. You let me go, I will never come back to this planet. I will lay off Element forever. There will be no bloodshed to each other. No killing each, no fighting each other, or even no one-sided from you. Just a peaceful retreat. Will you let me retreat? That's only generous offer you could take. Deal?"

Kakashi narrowed his eyes. What was this man trying to pull off? Was he trying to trick his eyes? "Why should I accept your offer? Besides, are you sure you want to do this once he learns that you used a coward tactic to flee for your life?"

"I'm sure." Zahoor nodded, spreading his arm away. "I will retreat. I know how to hide myself from Coola. He never will find me, unless you guys defeat him or something. Listen, Kakashi. The moment my book is ruined, I'm left with more vulnerable to my opponent, like you. I'm basically a very weak person right now. There's no chance for me to beat you, unless you're really weak than I thought. There's no way I can beat you. I'll never beat someone within the rank of genin, even kids from academy!" He detected the small eye-widen in Kakashi before a said person quickly returned to bored expression again. He chuckled nervously. "Heh… You see, I'm really pathetic person. I never have a combat experience. In every battle, I relied on my book. Not even a powerful opponent can beat me, as long as I turned the story into reality. Thanks to rain, I'm now vulnerable. What do you say? You let me go, and I will never bother you again."

Kakashi narrowed his eye, as he pulled his kunai up, showing no emotion at his enemy. "I'm not sure if you have heard of rule in this ninja world. 'A shinobi must not show a mercy on an enemy no matter what.' Surely, you have heard of this?" Zahoor was taken aback, fear. A fear of his intent killing leaking lately. "You just asked someone who specialized in assassination. Under the rule, when there's an invasion, whatever threat to this village must be eliminated with immediately. Therefore, you're a threat and you must be eliminated. That's one of our emergency protocols."

He was ready to get rid of a threat. One less enemy would be better. He need to deal with the threat to this village. That's why he must follow the emergency protocols. He could not take any chance. Because if he showed a mercy, who know Zahoor might had a trick up his hidden sleeves?

Konoha had a protocol in case the village was ever attack.

Eliminate the enemy units.

If phase 1 is not viable, evacuate every civilian to the nearest shelter hidden throughout the village.

Use all of the forces in the village to eliminate the enemy with full force using home field advantage.

These emergency protocols he would have to make sure to follow. In other words, he must get rid of Zahoor because he was the enemy and he was a threat. No mercy.

He sprinted towards the enemy and swung his kunai, intended to slit his throat, but Zahoor panicked and ducked to narrowly miss a kunai over his head, as he rolled over to the ground.

But just as Zahoor turned around, he was met with a leg to the face, bashing against the wall, which cracked it a little bit. Not only that his face was damaged, that kick also destroyed his glasses in the process. His glasses were no longer displayed on his eyes, as it was lost during the knockback.

Zahoor groaned. That really hurt a lot. He had been hurt before, but he never experienced a real pain badly. He almost felt his head snapped. Almost snap. He stretched his neck, trying to relieve the pain on his neck. He then noticed the shadow looming over him. He looked up at Kakashi with a glare.

Kakashi was not fazed by that glare. He was a shinobi. He would not be intimidated by him. He was really disgusted by someone who had no combat experience. To think he was fighting someone with no combat experience, but only relied on unusual power. "You're going to die." He announced his intention, but not before he asked him one more question. "Are you going to say something?"

Zahoor looked down, not wanting to show that he was already intimidated by the shinobi. He began to realize he was going to die. He wanted to escape really badly. He had no wish to die in this shinobi world once he no longer had a book. All thanks to stupid rain. Then he realized he was going to die. Death. Was he going to face the death? He wondered what the death would look like? His mouth started to curl up into a grin. Very soon, it would turn into a chuckle, and then it became laughter.

"What's so funny?" Kakashi was offended. Now think about it, majority of people he had killed usually gave in to maniac laughter just before their death. Were they laughing because they soon realized they were not going to win? Was it because they realized that they were going to die? There was nothing they could do?

"Haha!" Zahoor laughed manically. He grinned evilly at the half-masked shinobi, almost as if he was proclaiming victory at last. "Oh, only if you knew what the biggest mistake you have ever made. Only if you're allowing me to leave, that is."

Kakashi raised his eyebrow in question. "What do you mean?" What was the biggest mistake he had ever made? But it made his guts clenched. It was not something right. He had a bad feeling about this. He concluded that he should make an escape right now. It was his guts to tell him to get out of here.

Zahoor's mouth twitched into an evil smile, raising his hand, which revealed a small thing with the red button on the top of it. "We're going to die. YOU AND ME! YOU HEAR ME! I AM GOING TO BOMB THIS SCHOOL!"

Kakashi widened his eyes, very alarmed. He must escape before his opponent set off the bomb. He turned around, as he just began to make his way to escape. He heard Zahoor's insane laughter.

"WE ARE GOING TO HELL TOGETHER!" screamed Zahoor. He laughed insanely as his thumb pressed the red button. He continued to laugh even when Kakashi rushed towards the nearby window. Inside his body, it suddenly glowed dark red, indicating that it was about to explode. That was last thing he would ever see the light before his mind had gone blank.

BOOM!

Fortunately, Kakashi managed to make his escape through the window just right before the whole academy exploded. However, he got caught up in a bit of explosion, as he was knocked to the ground on his back. It did hurt him a bit, but as a shinobi, he could resist a little injury. In reality, the explosion never touched him, but it just happened to knock him away, that's all. The reason why he got a bit of injury because he fell from the second floor. The shockwave of an explosion made him feel the throbbing in his body, plus landed on the floor from the second floor did a small number on him. But it did not matter. That was nothing. He could live with that. It was only temporarily anyways.

He forced his body to sit up, as he took a glance at the academy. He widened his eyes. The academy had been destroyed, as evident by the rubbles over there, along with the stream of black clouds. The academy was one of oldest building in Konoha that was founded by Shodai (First) Hokage, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara together. Now it was destroyed. It would take a while to rebuild it again.

"Kakakshi… senpai." The weak voice called out to him.

Kakashi turned his head around at his shoulder, and his eyes widened. Behind him, that was Tenzo who did not look well. He looked very pale and plus, there was a blood on his mouth and his hands. Also his stomach was bleeding right now. It was not really good. His former ANBU comrade walked towards him slowly and his legs were throbbing, almost as if he was going to fall.

"Tenzo!" Kakashi alarmed, rushing over to him to prevent him from falling. He took a look at his former ANBU comrade. He could tell that it was not looking really good. He had to put his friend down on the ground and allowed him to relax. "What's going on?"

Tenzo slowly closed his eyes, probably calming down for a while. Then he reopened his eyes and groaned weakly. "I am…" He could not think of something what he should word that one to his comrade. "I am going to die, Kakashi…" The silver-haired man's eyes widened. "I am going to die… I cannot be saved…"

No… It can't be. Kakashi could not believe with his own eyes. He could tell that Tenzo was done for sure.

Tenzo's voice started to wear out soon. Perhaps in next moment, he would soon meet his fate. "There's someone…"

He recounted the event of most recent flashback where he finally met Fayre again.

Flashback Began- Few minutes ago

As soon as Tenzo recognized it was Fayre who faked his death and joined Coola organization, he immediately got on his feet and his guard. He even picked up his kunai, glaring at the Uchiha. Despite his chakra being on low, he still had a will to fight back, but he knew he probably was going to lose.

Fayre jumped down to the ground. Even though he had no intention to kill him, he noticed that Tenzo still had a kunai up, still alert on his guard. Despite that he put an arrow through Raid's head, it would seem that Tenzo would not let him go anywhere near him.

Then he sighed. "Put your weapon down." It was a command. He meant him no harm. He just wanted him to do something for him.

No matter what Fayre told him to, Tenzo still could not trust him. Anytime he dropped his guard, the Uchiha probably would take this advantage and killed him on spot. He could not take this chance. He gripped the hilt of his kunai firmly.

"No. Why should I trust you? You've faked your death and you left Konoha and Element to join the organization with the likes of Coola. You're a threat to the village," said Tenzo.

"Put… that… weapon…down!" growled Fayre. He was irritated and annoyed. He only wanted to ask him to do something favor. "Or else." He threatened him. Soon, he would be left with no choice. He came here to ask him to send a message to Kakashi, that's all. But of course, he should not be surprised. He would assume that everyone knew that he had joined the force with Coola by now. But the problem is, no one knew that he actually joined the force with Coola for a reason.

"No." Tenzo simply said, irritating Fayre further. He shifted into the battle stance, raising his kunai in front of his face to defend himself, despite being on low chakra. He also heard about Fayre. He heard that Fayre killed Gai and Neji. And he even killed some members of Akatsuki, probably. Fayre was very dangerous man right now. Even more dangerous than Itachi and all of Akatsuki members. If they knew he had gone rogue before, they would have put him in a bingo book as S-rank criminal.

Fayre clenched his fist and clenched his teeth in anger. If that's how it was, then that's fine. He was not to be trusted in first place. He should have known it would have happened. He did not wish to do this, but he had no choice. Maybe even Tenzo would not forgive him afterward. Well, he did not care, but he knew most people whom he killed on Element probably would not forgive him at all, and those loved ones of them would not forgive him either.

"Then you give me no choice. I have no intention to hurt you, but it do look like you won't trust me no matter what. I simply wanted to give you a message, but oh well…" Fayre said to him with a cold eye before activating his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Suddenly, the kunai escaped from Tenzo's hand and fell into Fayre's hand. Tenzo was surprised. He never anticipated that! He did not know that Fayre had this ability. The ability to control the weapon with only Mangekyo Sharingan! Now he was defenseless.

Because the very next moment, he caught himself with the kunai skewered deeply into his solar plexus. His face paled. He felt heat growing inside his solax plexus. It spilled with the blood all over the ground.

Despite emotionless feature on his face, Fayre was saddened from the inside. He just did it again. He killed someone that he was left with no choice, just like he killed Gai and Neji. He realized if he kept killing his own allies, he was going to lose his sanity… gradually. Tenzo was going to die soon. But he hoped that this man could give a message to Kakashi as soon as possible.

Somehow his experience of many years on the battlefield every day and his experienced of killing people on a daily basis had changed him into a cruel person. When he did the killing, he did the cruelty.

Because of his cruelty, that led him to push Tenzo all the way until the ANBU's back was against the tree, and he drove the kunai more deeply into it, spilling more blood.

Tenzo coughed up the blood. He was going to die, he realized. His own savior who killed the werewolf just gutted him. He could feel his chest burned so badly. He started to feel dizzy. His view of Fayre started to blur, and he barely saw the glimpse of sadness in his killer. He was confused. Wait. Why was Fayre sad after he gutted him? There was too much blood to lose. He was about to black out, but he felt the hand on his chest that pushed him against his back on the trunk of the tree.

"No." Fayre hissed. What? No? What did he mean when he said that? Tenzo was really confused. Here he was going to die, and his killer just uttered no to him? "Do not die… not yet."

Not yet? Tenzo's eyes started to roll over, almost as if he was ready to die, but Fayre would not let him. What did Fayre want him? Right now, he was weakened. He had no energy remained to perform a jutsu on his killer.

"W-W-Why...?" That was all he could utter that word. He wanted to know why. Why Fayre decided to join Coola's organization? Why was Fayre saddened by this action? Why wouldn't Fayre not want him to die yet? What plan Fayre would do with him? He wanted to ask all of these questions to him, but he had not found an energy to form more words out of his mouth.

His killer sighed. "You don't have a time. You have about a minute left to live. Look, I already destroyed most of your organs. But listen carefully… There's something I want you to do for me before you die. You must tell Kakashi to meet me… somewhere. At Memorial Stone place. Meet me there. Tell him that. You better hurry. If I don't see Kakashi within 5 minutes after I leave you to die… I will claim many lives of shinobi in Konoha, including citizens and children."

Tenzo widened his eyes. No, Fayre wouldn't! He recalled that Fayre hated killing children no matter where the village they were from. Had Fayre changed that much? Had Fayre turned into a heartless monster? Would Fayre go that far if Kakashi never met him? He could not let that happen.

Fayre clenched his fist where Tenzo could not see. He hated himself for saying that. Of course, he would not go as far to kill children. He had to do it. He had to threaten Tenzo. Maybe that was not necessary, but it would be suspicious if he did not say that. He wanted to fight Kakashi and uncover the truth as soon as possible, so they could unite together to kill Coola. Unite all the Konoha shinobi just to kill Coola. His goal was one step away from completing his goal. No, two steps. Killing Coola and bringing all people who were killed by Coola and his henchmen, including himself.

He pulled his—no, Tenzo's kunai—out of the solar plexus, and he also backed off to avoid any more blood spilling over on his damaged armor, dropping the kunai. He watched as weakened Tenzo fell to the ground, suffering a loss of blood.

"Remember, you have a minute left to live. And he has about five minutes… or else." He spoke with a forced cold tone, almost as if he did not care about that dying guy. But in reality, he cared. That's why he was beginning to hate him. With that, he disappeared in puff of smoke, indicating that he was just a shadow clone whole times.

Flashback Ended

So much loss of blood. Eventually, it was bound to happen anyways. His life was about to draw away. Tenzo could feel that. He could feel that he was drained of his blood. He was on shortage of blood right now. His eyes stared nothing but a blank, even at the gaze of Kakashi. He felt nothing. It was a numb. His entire body was numb. That was probably because Fayre gutted him so hard. He had no chance of survive.

But that did not matter. He was a shinobi. He was an ANBU. He was bound to serve faithfully under the Hokage. So it was only natural that a true shinobi would die with dignity. Once you joined the rank of a shinobi, you will always have ended up in a life and death situation. At least he was glad that he died to defend the village willingly.

But he must do something before he died. He must tell Kakashi to meet Fayre. He did not know why, but it probably had to do something with Obito who died during the war. Maybe Kakashi was only one who could stop him.

"K-Kaka…" Tenzo called weakly. He was unable to finish spelling his name fully, as seeing that was too weak to form. His throat held up, as if it did not want him to speak any longer. Kakashi stared at him in shock, but inclined his head to listen to him better. "Someone… He…"

Suddenly, his chest rose. He felt something pressured inside his chest, and he could not hold any longer. He opened his mouth, as more blood spewed out. Very soon, he was about to pass away. His head spun too much. He was running out of his blood. Before he could open his mouth, he coughed few more blood hastily.

"Tenzo!" Kakashi cried and then scowled. "You should stop talking. It will only make worse. Who did this to you? Whoever did this… I will kill him."

Tenzo sighed. Kakashi worried about him? Good to know. Of course, it should not come as a big surprise. Kakashi and he came on good term together as an ANBU. "He…" He was still unable to finish the sentence, so he decided to say a simple word so Kakashi could understand. "M-Memorial Stone… Meet him… There…" He paused with each word, because of blood clogging up in his throat.

Kakashi frowned. Who wanted to meet him at Memorial Stone? Could it be? He shook his head. It could not be. Still, he wanted to know who. "Who?"

"F-F…" He waited for Tenzo to say something. He just watched Tenzo who was struggling to keep alive. "F-Fa… Fa… F—"

He heard a gasp. He widened his eyes. He noticed that Tenzo stopped breathing. He left his mouth open, and his eyelids were left opened too. He was motionless. There was not even a trace of twitch on his body part. And then there was nothing. Nothing more out of his mouth. 'Fa' was the last thing he heard. He knew that was not a complete word. But he wondered what his last word was. He wanted to know who wanted to meet him. He would never know until he met him. Somehow, it was his feeling that said it was Fayre.

Ensuring the death of Tenzo, he placed his fingers on the corpse's neck to check for a pulse. Nothing. No heartbeat.

'Tenzo is dead.' Kakashi confirmed. He slid his fingers down his eyes, as they were closed. He stood up and turned around, clenching his fist and shutting his eyes with a full of regret. Tears leaked out of his eyes a little. Once again, he let someone down.

'Father…' He imagined Father smiling down at him. 'Obito.' The imagine of a young Obito grinning at him and giving him a thumb up. 'Rin…' Rin giggled as she closed her eyes. 'Minato-sensei… Kushina…' Minato dressed in his Hokage and Kushina during her 9-month pregnancy. They stood together, smiling at him. 'Fayre…' Kid Fayre's back was shown at first, and then he turned around to scowl at him as usual. 'Gai…' Gai gave him a thumb up with a shiny teeth and shouted enthusiasm something about springtime of youth and eternal rival.

And…

'Tenzo…' Most recent death gave him a big impact. He felt like he lost everything. Every time he would become closer to them, they most likely would die. He felt like he was a failure. Failure being a jonin. He was never a good jounin since the day one. Since he became a jounin during the war, he let Obito down. He killed Rin by accident. He lost everything.

No… He did not lose everything yet. He still had few more people precious to him. The one he thought he lost them.

'Sasuke… Sakura…' Most important of all… 'Naruto…' At least, he still had them. They were only precious people to him right now. They were his students of Team 7 after all. Now he knew what to do. He must defeat whoever killed Tenzo. It seemed that whoever killed Tenzo was biggest threat, besides Coola right now. With that, he disappeared with a little part of puff of smoke, as the leaf landed on the ground.

Check-In Station- With Minato, Kushina and Rin

Minato and Kushina insisted to go with her. They also wanted to talk to Obito. After all, Obito was dead. So it was perfect opportunity for them to knock some sense out of him before he was revived. If Naruto and others defeat Coola, that is, which both Minato and Kushina had a faith in Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura that they would defeat Coola.

Rin, too. She also had a faith in Naruto. Ever since she watched over Naruto whole times, she had every confident that Naruto was only one who could beat Coola. This was also his chance to save the world for the first time. Twice, he failed to save the world, which he had no choice but to leave the fate of the world to Goku. So, if he saved his own planet, he would have his chance to shine himself throughout the world, and he would have everyone to acknowledge him, not a monster everyone thought he was.

But in order to prevent what possibly would cause the chaos in the future, Rin must talk to Obito in case he would be revival with the Dragon Balls.

When they arrived at the Check-In Station, they noticed the long line of spirits waiting to determine whether they would go to heaven or hell, and they also noticed that Lord Enma was very stressful right now.

They could tell that most of those spirits were either Elementians or Coola's men in the line. Some of them still retained their bodies before sending to either heaven or hell.

"Excuse me, Lord Enma-sama…" Rin called out to him. All she needed was to ask him if she could see Obito before he would determine which heaven or hell Obito would go, then she would leave Enma-sama alone to send spirits either place.

Lord Enma-sama looked down from his giant desk, only to find Minato and Kushina standing below along with her. "What is it? I'm very busy today."

"It will be quick, I promise." Rin pleaded with Enma who then granted her a permission to speak to him now. "We all are here to see the recent dead person that we watched over not too long ago. He goes by the name of Uchiha Obito."

Lord Enma certainly remembered the day that Rin was dead, she asked about him before. "That again?"

Rin nodded few times. "This time, I know exactly what happened. We watched and we witnessed him dying there. He died before his brother's eyes. He died ten minutes ago."

Lord Enma sighed, flipping the book in the search of Obito's name, but it would take a while to find the name ten minutes ago, because there's about nearly ten thousand people who died per minute across the endless space of universe. When the big numbers of death occurred, something like massacre or when planet exploded along with the million people, it would only force him to go through the overtime. Today was one of them, thanks to big numbers of Elementians death. In fact, it's been a frigging month for him to overwork the dead people. He had seen too many Elementians in just one month.

That kind of stuff occurred few times in his whole lifetime career. He could never forget sending most Saiyans to hell the day when planet Vegeta exploded, or when he had to deal with a group of Namekians who were sent to afterlife together for six days.

After what she heard from Kaio, there's no way Obito couldn't have died. Not when there's no one left on that planet to find him and save him. He would be left to dead, and soon, his soul would be ascending to the afterlife, and his afterlife fate would be leave up to Lord Enma-sama to determine whether he would go to heaven or hell.

But that's why she wanted to talk to him before he would be resurrected with the Dragon Balls. She disliked how he went down with the choice of his path. All she wanted was to see him smile again. He was not the same guy she knew before her death. All she wanted was to change him back to the way he used to be before. That was her opportunity, to knock some sense into him before he would be revived.

She heard the snap, looking up at Lord Enma who put down the book and stared down at her with sympathize face. "He's not on the list."

Rin widened her eyes in shock. "W-What?!"

Not again. She was pretty sure that Obito died. Kaio-sama said so it himself. But why? And how?

How was Obito still alive?

This was the second time that she thought he died, but he was not. Where in the world was Obito right now?

Memorial Stone, Konohagakure- With Kakashi

A puff of smoke suddenly appeared in the middle of nowhere, and later, it would become a clear, revealing Kakashi standing before the Memorial Stone.

He had no idea what Tenzo's killer wanted to do with him, but here he was. He glanced around, upon learning that there was no sign of an enemy. An ambush, perhaps. When the time would come, he would always be prepared for it. While he was at it, he took his time to leave himself to grief for his close friend and his rival, Uchiha Obito that carved its name on the memorial stone.

Not to mention that there was a rain pouring so hard here, implying that it wept for Uchiha Obito. No one could tell if he was crying or not since water damped his hair and still ran down his cheeks.

He could never forget the moment where he learned a lesson once his close friend died by a collapsed rock that crushed his entire body. He would always come to Memorial Stone to profuse apologizing to Uchiha Obito for allowing Rin to die. Of all people, it was him that took Rin's life himself.

There was not a moment where he could possibly have a great memory with Obito. If he was going to regret one thing, it was moments. He completely ignored Obito his whole life until a certain incident. In the perfect world, he would listen to Obito's suggestion, and they both would have saved Rin safely. Obito would never have died in the first place, and neither did Rin. Not just Obito and Rin, maybe Minato and Kushina would have survived birthing Naruto.

Maybe… Maybe, Fayre would never seek a revenge against him, even though Kakashi never committed that action.

"Uchiha Obito could have been a greatest Hokage that ever touched the gracious land of Element in the history in the making…" A familiar voice sneered, suddenly appearing and standing before Memorial Stone besides Kakashi side-by-side.

Kakashi's heart froze, as his hands were shaking. That voice… 'Is that…?!' He recognized that voice, but how?! Of all people, it had to be him! He did not expect him. Wasn't he supposed to be dead? 'If I'm looking at him…' He was slightly worried if he even dared to move his eyes to a voice, something was going to happen to him. It would be like imagine if Obito was still alive.

"…if he was never dead to begin with." The voice finished with the mix of a bitter and anger in his tone.

It could not be that guy. Kakashi recalled killing that person by his own hand when he was given no choice. If he did not look up, he would never know who that person was, even though he recognized that person. He needed to confirm the identify of a voice standing next to him.

While it may be like forever to him, but in reality, it was only mere few seconds. Every second was matter to him in the world of reality. As long as he refused to look up at the voice, his confirmation would go nowhere.

Given no choice but to move his head up and sideways slowly, there was a familiar man standing that dressed in one of Coola's men's armor. Once he dragged his eyes up to the length of his opponent's neck and to his face, including his hair and his eyes. That man was…

Kakashi's eyes widened, suddenly staring at the man before his very own eyes. "F-Fayre…"

Onyx eyes slowly closed, as his lips quirked up into a smirk. "It has been a while…" He reopened his eyes, revealing his Sharingan, locking his cold eyes into Kakashi's right eye. His lips quickly transformed into clenched teeth. "…Kakashi!"

To be continued…

A/N: And that's the chapter for today!

Now it's confirmed that Obito was still alive. We all know who took Obito, but where is he right now? Can Kakashi avenge his former ANBU partner against his close friend's brother? What about Fayre? Why is he still trying to kill Kakashi, despite knowing that he was not the one who killed Obito since the truth got out. What was Fayre's plan? We will finally get to see long-awaited battle, Fayre vs Kakashi! Find out next time on Team Z!

Sorry, but we won't see Kakashi vs Fayre next chapter. Next chapter will focus on the fight between Guure and Gohan & Kuririn.

I apologize if there's no preview. I feel that it's not working out for me. As long as there's no next written chapter, I can't put preview. But perhaps, one day, I will edit all chapters with improved grammar and proper timestamp, including recap and preview.

And no, no small A/N omake because I'm saving it for special occasion sometimes during the real intense begins on Planet Element!

On Chapter 117, we will see the multiple characters. I mean, we will see Fayre vs Kakashi. Lee vs 'Takeo', and Guure vs Kuririn and Gohan.

See you next chapter! Hopefully, it will be up before Christmas. I'm trying to update as fast as I can.
