Making up for all that social chat, social description and gunk from before! A whole new episode of Kakashi kicking butt!

I do not own Naruto – if I did, Kakashi would really be great – like a Sannin etc etc etc… and we'd see what's under his mask.

Revelation of the Wolf: The Glory of the Hatake Clan

Finality

"This fight can't last long," Kakashi told himself. "Megami-san can't be left alone for too long…. With a frightened Li at the wheel – no doubt, they be far ahead by the time I'm done here…"

And the fight didn't last long.

Within five minutes, his newest attacker, with the strong chakra and the heavy bloodlust was upon him.

Peering through the dense forest, Kakashi tried to make out something – anything which would show him what was going on. Suddenly, a scaly pillar moved up and then down, shaking the ground with its tremendous steps.

It was a giant lizard.

It was a summoned beast.

Of all things to attack Kakashi, it had to be a summoner.

Suddenly, the ground rose in a wave of earth and broken trees as the strong, muscular tail swept through the forest, exposing the hiding Konoha shinobi as it flung the silver-haired Jounin to the sky.

Quickly, as he flew through the air, Kakashi focused within, tapping into the endless well of chakra that was the spirit of Lightning's Howl. The blast of his chakra sheared the nearby cliff face and burned the hindquarters of the lizard, as he sped up the wildly swinging tail, attached by strong chakra to his feet.

The last platoon – the only one unlucky enough to be in the vicinity were burnt to shreds.

Gai would have been astonished to see the normally laid back shinobi racing at Lee's speed toward his enemy. Instead of summoning the boss dog, Kakashi decided on making this fight as quick and clean as possible.

Which meant speed. Which meant accuracy. Which meant a lethal jutsu.

The Chidori.

As Megami, Li and Raiden trundled past the wilderness and forest line toward the city entrance, not far away, they could hear the cry of birds.

"It's like a whole bunch of them are headed this way…" Raiden said, looking up into the night sky but not seeing anything.

Behind them, above the trees, there was a faint glow.

The watchful police and shinobi on the walls of the capital city cocked their ears and trained their eyes, feeling the intense power of two combatants.

"What is that?" called one.

"WHO is THAT?" asked another.

Megami ran out of the car and up to the city sentinel.

"My name is Yukimoto Megami and these are my two sons. No doubt you have been waiting anxiously for us – but we were held up by attackers and I was forced to leave my bodyguard behind to take care of things."

The sentinel looked to his friend, apprehensively.

Kakashi neared the summoner – a tall man obscured by a theatrical looking cloak – all dressed in black. The man turned with a gasp, his eyes unable to follow the shinobi's super-speed movements. Following his intuition, the man gathered all of his chakra, thrusting it forward as he leaned to the side, taking the chidori's cut to the right shoulder.

The impact blew them apart.

The force of the waves reverberated through the forest and up to the city walls.

Then there was a silence.

A respectful and awed silence.

Megami and Raiden's hearts turned to stone. Li just stood there, silent in amazement.

"Megami…" A low husky voice said sofly from the shadows. "Meg."

The singer gasped in shock as a stocky, black-haired man walked out.

"Fuyumo?"

"At last, Meg, we meet after – how many years? Eight? Nine? And you've brought…. Raiden with you….. how accommodating you are! As usual!" The man's flat black eyes turned to Raiden, the thin eyes and thin lips looked cruel.

"You got yourself a bodyguard but… I don't see him anywhere… which is just as well… I'm taking the boy."

"You wouldn't dare!" hissed Megami, jumping in front of Raiden.

"I would." The man laughed. "I should have been more patient and just waited for you to come – but time runs faster for us older ones – and it is only right that I spend time teaching life's lessons to my…. Heir."

Raiden looking around his mother frowned.

"Mother?"

Li smirked.

"Ah… it's Uncle Fuyumo."

"Li. You still taking care of that brat?" Fuyumo turned to Megami. "Heh. Well. You'll be glad to have one less to look after."

Raiden hid behind his mother.

"Li. Get into the car and drive Raiden out of here as fast as you can."

No sooner had the words fell out of her mouth when several of the shinobi had taken up various positions around her.

"These are my men." Fuyumo smirked. "You, Meg, are going nowhere. Well… you can go anywhere – to hell – I don't care…. But Raiden is staying. It turns out, funny how fate deals you these blows…. It turns out that I can no longer bear children and my wife could never carry to full term. This child is the only one which bears my blood. And so, he's to be mine."

"Says who?" asked Kakashi, suddenly, holding a kunai to the man's throat.

"Kakashi!" Megami sagged with relief, holding Raiden tightly in front of her.

The shinobi backed away slowly as they recognized the look in the shinobi's eyes.

Death.

"Stop it."

There was a silence as someone spoke out of the darkness.

It was the Tsuchikage.

"Tsuchikage-sama!" gasped Fuyumo. "Please, you must save me from this madman!"

"Be silent! I think I have heard enough!"

Kakashi didn't let the feudal lord go.

The kage frowned.

"We could kill the woman."

"Then I would have to retaliate," bluffed Kakashi.

Againstthis many shinobi?Against a kage? Am I crazed?
"You would die here." The kage countered, deadpan.

"Konoha would hear of it."

The silence fell dead like a stone.

"A shinobi of Konoha?"

"Whoever this is, he must be brought to justice for attacking Fuyumo-sama!" A policeman gasped at the kage's nod.

"Fool," the Kage sniffed. "Tonight shall be forgotten. The woman shall keep her child and shall live, shall be protected by her bodyguard until she leaves this country."

"Why?" screamed the lord, lunging out of Kakashi's suddenly lax grip.

"This shinobi will die trying to save her." The kage turned away. "Let her go and be at peace in your house. To cause tension between our village and that of the Leaf would be suicidal."

"You trust him to behave himself?" Asked another man, eyeing the ninja skeptically. "There was no mention of a ninja being in her entourage."

"Do you not know? Strength. Speed. Deviousness. Quiet. White hair. Sharingan. He is the elite ninja of Konoha, Copy Ninja no Kakashi…."

All of the ninja's drew breath with awe.

"… so…" The Kage said, softly, to Fuyumo. "Do as I say, or face certain death with no back up from us." Nodding at his men, he withdrew.

Kakashi grinned. The Tsuchikage had basically given him permission to kill if necessary. Now, it was merely a question of whether Fuyumo was idiotic enough to try anything.

Apparently, he is.
Holding his short kata high, Fuyumo ran toward Megami who turned and ran, pulling Raiden with her.

There was no mistaking the murderous gleam and intent.

Kakashi quickly formed the seals and sped faster than the eye could follow, his white chakra pulsing in his hand, illuminating the night.

For a brief moment, his whole body burned, his feet barely touched the ground as he raced against time. Each second brought Fuyumo closer to Megami, each second brought Kakashi closer to the crazed maniac.

All the shinobi turned. The Tsuchikage motioned with his hand and they were still as they watched the lightning sparking around him, as the cries of a thousand birds filled the air, as the chidori sliced down, sideways through the body, pliant as putty.

The reverberations cracked against the wall, the car, and past the spectators, whipping their clothes and hair around.

Raiden and Megami, merely three feet away, watched with shock as Kakashi's hand continued its arc through the body and out the other side.

Night fell again. The birds had fallen silent.

The only light to illuminate the shinobi was the sparks that still emanated from the body and the hand. The only sound was the sickening drop of blood as it fell in huge splotches to the ground.

Turning away, the Kage spoke quietly to his right-hand man.

Withdrawing his arm, Kakashi watched the body fall forward. Closing his eyes momentarily, Kakashi sighed.

"You okay, Megami-sama? Raiden-san? Li-san?"

"Ye-eah…" Megami drew in a long shuddering breath. "I had no IDEA that it was him… I never thought…."

"Fear of death and lack of posterity can do that to a man," Kakashi smiled. "Now… let's get into the city and allow the regular people clean this mess up."

He turned.

"Well, you definitely need a bath," Li said. "You stink."

Kakashi's eyes widened and then shut. Without warning, he fell forward onto the ground, flat on his face.

"KAKASHI-SENSEI!"

The Kage turned to his favorite advisor.

"How many?"

"Three platoons… and that wandering nin has disappeared as well…. The Hatake is obviously spent – perhaps…"

"Don't even think it. Have him safely escorted with the woman to the city inn. Make sure that nothing is left here. I want no witnesses or anything."

The man nodded.

Walking over to the still shinobi, the kage leaned forward for a last look at the courageous powerful shinobi.

"Hatake Kakashi…. A great man living up to a great name…"
