Chapter Five
"If you stand still, in battle, and close your eyes, you can stop time yourself, because you'll be dead."
"Time is not stopped, it is impossible," protested Kakashi. Eo laughed and cut the laugh short as he pointed out his proof.
"Look behind you, Kakashi. . ." Naruto turned around, and Kakashi did not. Not thirty feet away from them was Sasuke rounding the corner, frozen still, and also black and white.
"Naruto. . .what is it?"
Naruto walked towards him, slowly saying, "Sasuke. . .frozen still. . . I don't think he's lying. . .sir. . ." Kakashi laughed and told Eo that he had some skills.
"If this is a fight, we should start it now. . ." Eo smiled, as his eyes grew darker, as if they could be any eviler.
"Just what I was thinking," said Eo. "But one thing, Mr. Hero, I will not use weapons, so I request that you will not either. Use your hands for once instead of your o-so-powerful weapons." Kakashi crossed his arms together, concluding that Eo's request was granted. The first move was thrown by Eo, as he moved towards Kakashi, so fast though, that it seemed like he disappeared for the short second he moved. He appeared next to Kakashi, and threw a blocked punch, and a couple of cracks were heard, Kakashi held his fist, but his own hand was shaking.
"You're pretty strong. . ." he said, holding his expression. "This may be interesting." Eo threw another hand up, with another block, and another crack. Kakashi jumped back, about ten feet, no longer being able to hold any of his fists. Naruto stumbled off to the side, and then leaned up against a building, panting.
His stomach came back to him, and the sensation of pain thrived throughout his upper body. Naruto felt like his ribs were broken, and that right now no one could help him, he was stuck in no time.
Kakashi flinched, but hardly, at the pain he felt in his wrists. "Pretty strong is a good quote for me I think. . ." said Eo. "But I think I broke your wrists, Kakashi." Kakashi stood up, unwilling to bear the weakness he was showing.
"I can fight without them. . ." Kakashi whispered loud enough for everyone to hear. He devised a plan quickly in his head as Eo got back into stance. He accepted it as Eo started moving, and then he saw everything in slow motion. Eo ran towards him, and threw a fist again, but it stopped and a kick flew up.
Kakashi ducked and caught his leg at the thigh, then tripped Eo, who threw his hand down to stop his fall. He threw a kick into Kakashi's side as Kakashi slammed his elbow into Eo's heart. Simultaneously they both collapsed, gasping as blood drew from both their mouths.
Time flew back as everything that had color returned to its natural state, and Sasuke tripped into the dirt. He stood up, and then looked at the scene before him. Naruto knocked out, Kakashi panting, and some kid he didn't know slowly standing up. "Hahah! Nice! You restored time, good for you." Eo laughed as he glanced at Sasuke.
Sakura came around the back corner with Hinata behind her, they had met on the way. She clutched her kunai close. "Sakura, what's going on, let me look. . ." Sakura spotted Naruto, the Sasuke, and Kakashi. The other kid, like Sasuke, she didn't know. The child and Kakashi suddenly started fighting.
"A fight. . ." she whispered.
Hinata threw her head around the building and witnessed the same that Sakura had seen. She gasped and then put her head back around the corner.
"What's wrong. . ."
"Are we going to have to fight. . ." the weakness in her voice was uncanny, she was afraid.
"I don't think so, this is only between Master Kakashi and that child. . ." She stayed behind the building, trying not to get spotted. As she threw her head back behind it Sasuke walked over to Naruto's aide, while keeping an eye on the fight.
Naruto was slapped slightly, and he flew to attention. He looked over at Naruto and asked what was going on. "You were sleeping, during the fight. . ." said Sasuke. "Just like you to do that."
"No, it's my ribs they hurt. . ." A crash was heard, Eo stood alone, and they looked around for Kakashi. Sakura gasped as she stared into the building to the right of her. The front window had broken, and the support beams were crumbling, Kakashi sat inside, with a puddle of blood to accompany him. She ran over to the building and Hinata followed her, Naruto shot up, running after them.
His eyes followed Eo, as Sasuke ran with him, doing the same. Eo studied the scene, staring at them, and he followed what they did. They picked Kakashi up, Naruto beside Hinata, and Sasuke right next to Sakura. He laughed as he slowly threw his arms out, Kakashi shouted as he spotted what Eo was doing.
Black and white covered everyone except for Hinata and Sakura, Naruto amazingly, stayed with them, not being stuck in pause with everyone else. He looked around, as Hinata's eyes grew small. Sakura reached for her kunai, and held it tight.
Eo, seeing what had happened, devised a new plan. He laughed, everyone staring at him as if he were crazy. And he then acted, running again, so fast, that it seemed as if he disappeared. He threw a punch into Hinata, his eye twitching as Naruto watched in horror. Hinata spit out blood instantly, and fell to the ground, dropping her own kunai.
Naruto acted now, but Eo held his hand up, and Naruto froze instantly, not in time, but just froze. A rain cloud appeared over his head, and he was drenched within seconds. Unable to move, and unable to help, Naruto just sat there. Eo pushed his head down, so all he could see was dirt.
Sakura, frozen in fear, finally moved. She threw her kunai at Eo, who grabbed her hand, squeezing it, and laughing as he heard a snap. Sakura dropped it, and then suddenly pain shot throughout Eo's body. Time flew back as he screamed, reaching for his leg to find Hinata's kunai in it. The end came out through the other end of his leg, bloody.
. . .Kakashi then acted, finding Eo in a state of vulnerability.
"If you stand still, in battle, and close your eyes, you can stop time yourself, because you'll be dead."
"Time is not stopped, it is impossible," protested Kakashi. Eo laughed and cut the laugh short as he pointed out his proof.
