"Naruto, stop!" But the chuunin failed to acknowledge his mentor's words and continued running. Yagami could sense the Kyuubi was trying to control Naruto's mind and body. Using his Makekyo Sharingan, Yagami was left with no choice as he lit his fingers with chakra flames.
"This has got to stop…'Gogyo Fuin'! (Five-Element Sealer)" Time seemed to freeze; Naruto stopped in his path as the Rasengan slowly disappeared. Naruto dropped to the ground and began to calm down. Yagami than tapped into the skill of 'Gogyo Kain' (Five-Element Unsealer), releasing the seal on Naruto. Sasuke and Sakura immediately ran to the scene upon seeing the after effects of the sparring battle. Yagami, checking on Naruto's condition, he questioned him with a fierce tone, "Naruto! What were you thinking? Unleashing the Kyuubi's spirit in a sparring battle?"
"Sorry Hokage-sensei. I was so into winning that I forgot it was actually a training battle." Relieved to hear the explanation, Yagami kept his cool before sensing nearby presence of someone. Catching an image with his Sharingan, he attempted to give chase but instead the spy came to the scene, dawned in the Shinsengumi uniform. Yagami's opponent drew his sword before dashing towards the Hokage's direction.
"Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, run back to the motel now!" Yagami ordered to the three chuunins as he prepared himself but before he could reach for his katana, he was stabbed in the chest.
Author: Could this be the first defeat of the 6th Hokage?
Editor: Would you just write and not interrupt in between?
Author: You're doing it too.
Editor: Argh! Just keep writing!
(Both parties argued for a few hours…)
The Shinsengumi member was caught offguard as the Hokage was a water clone. The Hokage appeared behind him, blade already inches away from his opponent's neck.
"You're from Shinsengumi, what is your mission and who sent you?" Yagami interrogated.
"As if I would tell, Konoha scum!" The spy rebelled and turned around to deliver a devastating slash but Yagami parried it away in time but was unable to evade the second. As the silverfish blade came closer to the Hokage's face, another blade intervened. Another man dawned in ordinary clothes. From the looks of him the third party was an ex-samurai. The spy than battled the unknown opponent. Yagami could only watch in amazement as the swordsman dodging his opponent with graze and coordination. Seeing an opening, the swordsman countered the attack.
"Hiten Misturugi Ryu: Ryutsuisen!" The swordsman jumped high off the ground before landing the blade onto the Shinsengumi member's shoulder, completely knocking the lights out of him. Yagami than approached the stranger as he sheathed back his blade. The stranger was a young man, neatly attired and bared an 'X' scar on his left cheek. Yagami knew whom the individual and shouted to him, "Himura Kenshin!" The stranger ambled back, and smiled as he greeted back, "Nice to see you again Yagami-san."
