DISCLAIMER: 'Naruto' is not mine; the only thing that I own of this story is its storyline and the new characters presented.
--------------------------------------
Go: The Bout
Hiroshi leapt forward, producing two kunai from the pouch on his calf. Kakashi did the same, the jounin's weapons connecting with those of the boy in mid-air. The two jumped back in unison, readying their kunai and dropping into a stance. The boy darted forward, sliding to a stop in front of the jounin and vaulting forward in the air, twisting his body. While in the air, Kakashi rolled away frantically, Hiroshi's kunai slicing through the space where the head of silver hair had previously been. The boy cursed something undecipherable and dived to the side as a kunai whizzed through space, the projectile landing soundly where the boy had been. A blade shot from the Hiroshi's hand as he rolled to recover his fall, bending his knees and launching himself in the air. Kakashi took the aerial leap as an opportunity to attack; his hands flashing through a set of hand seals.
Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu!
Kakashi's cheeks puffed outward, his chest expanding and face ablaze. A flaming serpent darted from his mouth, swiveling through the air, sending blinding heat waves from its body. The boy's eyes widened as he flew through a few hand seals, planting his hands onto the ground.
Koudo Hei no Jutsu!
The earth began to rumble, branches on trees snapping and falling to the ground. A colossal rock wall jutted out from the ground to intercept the blast, leaving the fire to dissipate into the air. Taking his hands from the soil, the stone wall began to retract, going forth back into the earth. Hiroshi jerked his head to the side as he heard the crisp sound of a kunai towards him. The boy rolled to the side skillfully, halting in mid-roll and vaulting himself into the air as a projectile whizzed through the atmosphere, sinking into the soil.
As Hiroshi landed, Kakashi darted forward, flipping and landing a solid punch atop the boy's head. Hiroshi winced, his vision blurring for a fraction of a second. A figure (Kakashi) rushed toward the him as his head was beginning to clear. In panic, the silver-haired boy rotated on his right foot and threw a heel into Kakashi's stomach. Despite the pain, the man hurled a brutal fist at Hiroshi's head, which the boy dodged narrowly, sweeping the jounin's feet from beneath him and kicking him in the ribs while falling to the ground due to the sweep.
Kakashi was sent into a tree, splinters of wood sent flying from the impact. The silver-haired man narrowed his eyes, pushing off of the roots to avoid a volley of projectiles - courtesy of Hiroshi – and landed in a low crouch. Kakashi stood up slowly. Hiroshi tensed.
"You have potential, brat," the man complemented, his hands inching for a kunai.
Hiroshi remained silent and brought his expression into a glare. Thunder rocketed through the sky, the tentacles of electricity crawling in the clouds above. A drizzle began, and was followed quickly by a strong rain.
"You are strong as well," Hiroshi replied, his complement obviously forced.
"Let's get serious. Are you in?" the jounin asked.
"Yes."

Observation Trees with Team Seven
"What are they talking about?" Naruto mumbled ignorantly, the raven-haired boy wincing at the stupidity in his voice.
"We won't ever know if you don't SHUT UP," the pink-haired girl barked, her face red with frustration.
"This lightning isn't making the situation better," Sasuke stated dryly, his black eyes fixated on the two men on the battlefield.
The three nodded and returned their concentration to the fighters on the training field. From afar they looked like only stick figures and though the fighting itself was easily seen, the fighters themselves were often mixed up due to the hair color of the two.
"Who do you think is winning?" the blonde squealed loudly.
"Kakashi-sensei, of course," Sakura reassured him with confidence.
"I am not so curtain," Sasuke remarked, his eyes showing two tomoe dancing around a dilated pupil.

Training Field
Hiroshi narrowed his eyes, his attention aimed on Kakashi. Suddenly, the boy saw a blur and then felt a fist connect with his chest. His eyes widened in surprise. The jounin threw a fist at the boy's head but it was easily dodged as the boy parried the blow, rolling behind Kakashi and connecting with the man's skull. Kakashi pivoted on his left foot and threw a heel at Hiroshi, who crouched and jumped up. The silver-haired jounin flipped backwards, producing two kunai before touching the ground, and threw one at Hiroshi who was still in the air. The boy avoided them smoothly, throwing his weight to the side as the blade missed him by a hair's width.
Hiroshi landed, planting his hand on the earth and spinning off of his right hand, using momentum to increase the speed of the kick. The jounin was caught off guard and lost his footing. Taking that chance to attack, Hiroshi rolled away from the position of his previous attack and dashed for Kakashi. The boy drew out two shuriken while sliding on the ground and hurled them at the man. Kakashi rolled forward, and with precise timing extended his foot, meeting with the flat side of the shuriken and rendering them useless. He slipped his figures through the holes in the center of the weapons, catching them and then launching himself into the air, hurling the shuriken at the boy on the ground.
Hiroshi snapped his head up, his eyes widening in surprise. He rolled out of the way, yet remained on the ground, breathing heavily. Kakashi formed three new hand seals and placed an open palm facing the ground, blue electricity beginning to envelop his hand. Hiroshi gritted his teeth and heaved himself onto his feet, reaching into his pouch and grabbing a kunai. The sound of chirping birds hung loudly in the air, lying as a blanket upon the battlefield; Hiroshi winced at the screeching noise.
The jounin dashed forward, his left arm supporting his right arm from the weight of the attack. Hiroshi's body was reluctant to move, fear pulsating through his veins. The silver-haired man thrust his palm forward and Hiroshi ducked under the attack, the blistering energy ripping threw part of his shoulder. The boy took advantage of the moment and plunged a kunai into the jounin's ribs just before rolling away, clutching his shoulder. Hiroshi hauled himself up, clenching his teeth as the pain shot through his shoulder. Kakashi stared at the ground with wide eyes, his pupils dilating and contracting erratically, his broken rib making him temporarily immobile.
Hiroshi narrowed his eyes, taking the time to attack. He leapt forward, bringing a horizontal kick down onto Kakashi's head and then, while in the air, hurling a brutal fist into the man's face. Kakashi rolled away and pulled the kunai from his rib, his knees going weak as the pain began to bring him down. The jounin dragged himself up and dashed at Hiroshi with surprising speed for an injured man. Hiroshi stood his ground, leaping and swinging his foot in a wide arc, his heel missing the man's head by a fraction of an inch. The jounin had predicted this and, coaching under the arc, swung a fist at the boy's torso.
Hiroshi caught the fist with his right palm, and produced a kunai in his left. The movement executed by the boy did not go unseen and was quickly acted upon by an immediate withdraw. The boy landed onto the ground in a low crouch, then stood and looked at Kakashi. In a blur, Kakashi darted forward, swinging his leg in a sharp horizontal arc. Hiroshi ducked, dodging the blow and evading the punch that stirred the air near his ear.
Rolling to the side and recovering ground, Hiroshi planted a foot down and launched into the air, flicking his wrist and releasing a kunai. Kakashi was oblivious to the action and glanced up only to see the projectile ripping threw the air towards him. Throwing his weight to the side, the kunai grazed the side of his cheek, drawing a small amount of blood. Cursing beneath his breath, the jounin leapt up, forcing his stiff fingers through a set of hand seals.
Katon: Houenka no Jutsu!
A fiery barrier encircled the jounin's body, the chakra ragging with spurts of exertion. Seven streams of flame rocketed out of the barrier, taking away the protective façade around the man, he had turned defense into offense. Hiroshi's eye widened as his mind calculated the time he had to perform a jutsu. He had no time. Throwing his weight to the side one of the seven streams of fire singed his rib and exploded into the ground. Hiroshi rolled as another erupted through the air, and barely dodging the third. Bending his knees, the boy vaulted into the air, contorting to evade another blast.
3 more.
The silver-haired boy glanced at Kakashi, and was surprised to see the man standing in a set spot looking rather amused. Rolling to recover his fall, the boy used momentum to leap at the stop of the action as another stream of fire charred the space where he previously was.
2 more.
While in the air, the boy brought forth a kunai from the pouch on his leg and flung it at Kakashi. The man rolled to the side and went through a set of new hand seals. Hiroshi ducked under the searing heat of another violent stream of fire, grabbing a shuriken and rolling to the side.
1 more.
The last blast of fire rocketed toward Hiroshi as the boy pivoted on his right foot, the torrent of chakra brushing the side of his head, heat exploding through the atmosphere. He focused on Kakashi, who was opening his mouth to speak.
Hyouton: Haryuu Muuko!
Hiroshi cursed under his breath as he flipped to the side, landing heavily on the earth in a crouch. Rain froze in mid-fall and formed into a beast of fury, its fangs hanging from its mouth. The beast roared as it tore over the land in pursuit of its prey, Hiroshi. The boy staggered to his feet, feeling dazed due to the blood loss he had suffered since Kakashi's attack hit his shoulder. The hoarfrost tiger blasted forth, tearing over the soil, which it barely touched. A jolt of pain exploded throughout the boy's body as he heaved himself off the ground.
Hiroshi ran toward the creature and leapt into the air, bending to the side as the beast roared past; his clothes were beginning to freeze, the ice acting as an epidemic. The icy monster continued to surge across the ground, dissipating into the air at it did so.
Suiton: Suriyuudan no Jutsu!
'Here it goes; the technique Onii-san (brother) taught me. I'll do this for you,' the boy thought, determined and confident.
Hyoton: Kokuryuu Boufuusetsu!
The falling rain twisted into a dragon, its body spinning viciously as it roared towards its victim. Hiroshi darted forward, leaping and punching his fist towards the dragon. The small water droplets falling from the sky joined together to create a dragon of ice, black ice. The two jutsus blasted forward, the dragons roaring loudly as they approached one another. Kakashi's jutsu clashed with Hiroshi's, the explosion breaking the air around it, its very body discharging a flash of brilliant blues, yellows and reds. The sharp tone sliced at the atmosphere, sending wisps of wind rocketing from the point where the two clashed, the emitted chakra gushing through the ground. Smoke formed, rushing outward, and within seconds covered the battlefield.
Kakashi lifted the Hitai-ate from his eye, locating Hiroshi by reading the chakra signatures of everything around him, though it was difficult with the chakra surge that was released when the two jutsus collided. Darting forward, Kakashi slipped behind the silver-haired boy unnoticed. Hiroshi's eyes frantically darted around, attempting to locate the jounin's body, but without success. Then he heard a man speak.
"The evaluation is over. You have done well. More or less, superb," the voice said, breath leaving its lips heavily.
Raising his hand, the silver-haired man struck the boy's neck, hitting a certain pressure point. Hiroshi's eyes rolled into his head, vision growing blurry, the tips of his fingers becoming numb. He fell to the ground, his body limp, his mind slipping into a dreamless sleep. The fog cleared and Kakashi noted that his team was still observing from the trees.
"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura. Let's go; we must get this boy to the hospital as soon as possible," the silver-haired jounin called out, his knees bent. He picked up the boy and found that he was surprisingly light and easy to lift upon his shoulder. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke strode up to their sensei and looked at the limp body on Kakashi's shoulder.
"Naruto, go ahead and tell Tsunade that she has a patient. She is the only one to heal this boy with jutsus, and while she is doing that I must talk to her. Tell her exactly that, do you understand?"
"Yes! A mission!" Naruto exclaimed happily before tearing off down the field.
"Wrong way," Sasuke called out to Naruto as the boy spun around dumbly. Kakashi smacked his palm to his forehead as Naruto rushed by them, heading the correct way this time.
Kakashi took off Hiroshi's shirt and placed him on the ground. He was well-muscled and his lean body was very damaged and wounded.
"Sakura, fix the majority of the larger wounds to stop the bleeding," the man ordered.
Sakura glanced at Hiroshi, her eyes skimming his torso and blushing furiously.
"I-I-I, er, um….o-ok, Kaka-sensei," she stammered, her voice shaking.
"Good. Tell me when you are finished. I will mend my own wounds," he explained to the pink-haired girl.
Sasuke remained quiet and turned to face the crater on the floor on the training field. Cocking his head back, he stole two quick glances at Kakashi and Hiroshi, and then turned his attention back to the crater.
"What power."

A/N: Seeing how Kakashi is a user of more that 1000 jutsu's I assumed that the jutsu's I had him use in the chapter where one of the many he knows. No, the evil guy from the Naruto movie if not his brother, just if you're confused. I am sorry if I missed any jutsu's and fore the delay on updating. I won't be updating next week due to complications. Sorry, I managed to forget the tell Hiroshi's age which is 17, about the age of Itachi. Reviews!
