Chapter 5

Sharingan vs. Sharingan

Kakashi was speechless. "Did you say… Uchiha?" Zaroff laughed. He expected Kakashi to be puzzled, he wanted him to be. "That is correct Copy Ninja." He said with a smirk. "I am part of the Uchiha Clan." Kakashi thought about his mission. 'Is he the one I'm looking for?' "Kakashi, you and I are a lot alike. We're both powerful warriors, and we both posses the Sharingan. We are gods to all others." Kakashi just smiled under his mask. "I think I know were your going, but your barking up the wrong tree pal. But, I do need you to come with me, if you really are Uchiha."

"I posses the Sharingan, you need no more proof."

"True, but I as well posses a Sharingan, but I am not part of the Uchiha Clan."

"It's true what they say about you Kakashi. You don't drop your guard, not even for a second." Zaroff sounded pleased. "You'll make a great partner."

"Partner? For what?" Kakashi could picture it, but the name Zaroff was familiar, but from where. "Who are you really?"

"Kakashi, I am…" Zaroff lifter his left sleeve revealing a tattoo, it looked like two kunai knives hitting each other tied together at the end. "The Reaper Ninja."

Kakashi backed up. "Y-You! It was you… It can't be… Your…" "Dead?" Zaroff finished. "I pretended that whole dying thing to get every ninja off my back." Kakashi held his kunai at hand. Guarding himself from every angle. "You killed all those people. All of them."

Zaroff laughed. "Kakashi, Kakashi. You have copied a thousand jutzu, as I have killed a thousand elite Shinobi." Kakashi, for the first time, shivered 'He… He killed them with out breaking a sweat. The Elites… ninja as or stronger than me, one thousand of them, not to mention all those innocents.' "So what do you say Kakashi? Join me?"

Kakashi looked at him straight in the eyes. "I don't care how strong you are, I would never join you."

"Suit yourself, Copy Ninja."

Zaroff went for the attack. In a flash Zaroff was behind Kakashi. "Die, Kakashi." Kakashi jumped, barely evading the quick attack made by Zaroff. Kakashi fell back and threw his shuriken at him. Zaroff evaded them with ease. He appeared in front of Kakashi and punched him on the stomach. Kakashi bent down, but Zaroff kicked him. Kakashi managed to roll sideways to evade the kick. He then used his kunai and swung it to strike Zaroff's leg, but Zaroff was already gone. "What, he's so fast."

"Kakashi, you disappoint me. I thought you were powerful." Kakashi stayed silence. "I you want say anything, then I'll kill you."

As Zaroff attacked Kakashi stood still. He placed his hand on his headband, and slowly pushed it upwards, revealing his Sharingan. "You want to see my power, here it is." Zaroff attacked with his incredible speed, but was baffled to see Kakashi behind him. "What!" Kakashi grabbed Zaroff's arm and in an instant punched him in the face sending him flying backwards. Before Zaroff could even fall, Kakashi was under him. Kakashi lifted his right left and it hit the falling Zaroff on the back right on the spine. Zaroff was thrown by Kakashi to the side.

"Is that strong enough for ya." Kakashi said with a grin, he had gotten the upper hand. "Never, underestimate me." Kakashi thought for a moment. 'Hey, I sound like Naruto.'

Zaroff stood up. To Kakashi's surprised, he was laughing. "That's what I wanted, the legendary Copy Ninja at his full strength. Two legendary ninja, fighting with all their power."

'What's the deal with this guy.' Before Kakashi could answer himself he say Zaroff's eyes glowing red. "Sharingan!"

"Two Sharingan against one, your outmatched Kakashi." Kakashi smiled. "Don't ever confuse quantity for quality, not with me."

Kakashi and Zaroff simultaneously launched themselves at each other. Kakashi and Zaroff both hit each other at the same time, but neither of them moved back, not even an inch. Kakashi went to the side and tried to kick Zaroff, but was stopped by Zaroff's hand. Kakashi then threw and punch only to be stopped by Zaroff's other hand. Kakashi then used his other leg to kick him. Zaroff raised his arm and blocked it. Kakashi was now upside down. He was in the exact same position Sasuke had been when they were taking the bell test. Kakashi being Sasuke and Zaroff being Kakashi from the bell test. Kakashi smiled.

"Raikiri, Lightning Blade." Kakashi hand became a living thunderbolt. "What?" Kakashi attack Zaroff head on. In a flash Kakashi was left in mid air and Zaroff appeared far away. Zaroff bent over, holding his stomach, that had been cut before he could move. "To slow, one more second and I've could have killed him." Kakashi said.

"How, how can you have such a powerful jutzu, but it makes it all even more worth copying it." Zaroff placed his hand on the floor and his chakra became visible, lighting like. "Raikiri, Lightning Blade."

"No way, he copied my jutzu!" Kakashi quickly attacked, trying to stop Zaroff from using it, but it was to late. Zaroff attacked Kakashi and he had no choice but to block Zaroff's hit, with his own jutzu. Both Raikiri jutzus hit, and a loud explosion occurred.

Kakashi found himself on the floor, the grass and trees were all burned, and the ground was cracked. Kakashi, barely stood up. "It's… over." Suddenly five shuriken came and hit Kakashi. Kakashi fell, motionless to the ground. Zaroff came towards him and said. "You let your guard down Kakashi." Suddenly Kakashi turned into a log with all the shuriken stuck on it. "A replacement jutzu!" Zaroff jumped and evaded the incoming kunai knives that hit the ground where he had just been standing. Zaroff fell to were Kakashi was. "I do not, drop my guard." Kakashi was serious. He was ready to continuo the fight, even if his chakra was weaker than Zaroff's, and Zaroff knew it. "Too confident, are we Kakashi?"

Kakashi charged at Zaroff. Zaroff stood still. "You've switched to offensive, good." Zaroff grabbed Kakashi's incoming fist and twisted it. Kakashi held the pain and jumped over Zaroff. He fell behind him and said "Got you."

Zaroff quickly turned over and kicked Kakashi back. Kakashi stood his ground and quickly said "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique." Kakashi shot out a massive water blast that threw Zaroff away. Zaroff fell only to have Kakashi fall on his stomach. Zaroff used his chakra to push Kakashi aside and get back up. But, Kakashi was no where to be seen. "Where are you Kakashi?" Zaroff looked to all side, even above, but didn't see him. "He's gone."

"Wrong." Kakashi emerged himself from underground and said "Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique." Zaroff was left with only his head sticking out of the ground. "What and ugly plant this is." Kakashi joked.

Kakashi took a kunai and struck Zaroff in the forehead. But Zabuza turned into a log. "Should have known." Kakashi used his kunai and hit the incoming shuriken, not allowing them to hit him. Suddenly on of the shuriken Kakashi had just hit turned into Zaroff. "What!" Zaroff threw a kunai at Kakashi. Kakashi moved to the side, but was hit on the arm. Kakashi held his arm, holding back the blood.

Zaroff walked up to Kakashi and said. "This is pointless, join me, you have proven yourself."

"I will never join you Zaroff." Kakashi glared at him and finished. "Believe it." 'What the heck did I just say, I've got to stop being with Naruto so much.'

"Suit yourself."

Zaroff attacked Kakashi. Zaroff threw as many punches as he could, Kakashi blocked them with his remaining hand, but was not able to hold all of them back. He was hit, but managed to protect his virtual organs from being hit. He was losing this battle, and he knew it. Kakashi stepped back, still blocking the incoming punches. He tried to move to the side but was kicked to the side, the opposite side. Kakashi fell but quickly stood up. 'this si not going to well.'

Kakashi looked at Zaroff as he walked up to him. "I offered you a chance to rule, but you refused me. Now… you'll die." Zaroff glared at him but Kakashi glared back. Zaroff attack, but Kakashi stood still he grabbed his bleeding arm and wiped his hand with the blood. He took out a ninja scroll and wiped the blood on it. "Summoning Technique!" In a flash Zaroff was surrounded by many dogs. They all bit him and held him. "What is this Kakashi?" Kakashi laughed. "And I thought you knew everything."

Kakashi lowered his good arm and said. "Raikiri, Lightning Blade." Kakashi held his hand up and said. "You lose." Kakashi charged at Zaroff. Kakashi attacked head on, but a huge cloud of smoke covered that area. "What?"

The dogs had vanished, and Kakashi felt a sharp kunai scratch through his back and cut it deeply. Kakashi fell on his knees, barely breathing. Zaroff appeared behind him. His eyes were some how different. "Your… Sharingan, it has… Mangekyō Sharingan!" Zaroff laughed. "Correct Kakashi. I saw your little trick before you even thought about it."

Kakashi's sight was blurry, his chakra was too low. But Kakashi just laughed. "If you think that can stop me, your dead wrong. I have three students that I have to train, protect and fight for. Before that's done, no ninja can take my life away." Zaroff just stared. "You're a fool Kakashi. Compassion, caring, that is not the Uchiha way." "I… am… not… Uchiha! And I don't know if you are, but you don't act like it, I knew an Uchiha, and he gave his life for me. And I also train one. Who has given everything his got to protect out team. My team. Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha!"

'Sasuke Uchiha, this is interesting.' Zaroff thought. "I could care less Copy Ninja. But now, I have to finish this, for I also have an apprentice."

"I… could care less." In a flash Kakashi's Sharingan began to glow and transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan. "What! He… you can't have the Mangekyō Sharingan!" Kakashi looked at him straight in the eyes. Sharingan at Sharingan. Mangekyō Sharingan at Mangekyō Sharingan. "Can… and do."

'I have the Mangekyō Sharingan, but I don't have enough chakra to use any of it's attacks. I only have enough for one more simple attack, I better use it wisely.' Kakashi placed his hand down and said. "Raikiri, Lightning Blade!" Kakashi hand grew it's trademark lighting glow and with it Kakashi said. "It all ends now Zaroff."

Kakashi charged at Zaroff. With all of his remaining strength. Every last drop. Kakashi attacked and Zaroff tried to evade it. In a flash Kakashi and Zaroff were standing side to side. Kakashi fell on his knees and smiled. Zaroff fell on the ground with blood all over. Zaroff crawled to a nearby tree and sat with his back to the tree. Kakashi stood up, barely staying up, and said. "I might have missed your vitual organs, but the jutzu hit. And your took weak to continue this fight." Zaroff just kept silenced. "What's wrong Reaper Ninja?" Zaroff the smiled and said. "You are quite strong, but…"

"But what?" Kakashi thought he was prolonging his defeat, but still stayed on guard.

"But… You don't have enough chakra to make another jutzu, and your body is too beaten up to evade any incoming attacks. Further more your out of weaponry."

Kakashi smiled. "So? You have basically the same chakra I do, and the same weaponry. But you are more beaten up than I am. You can't win."

Zaroff laughed. "You fool. You might have beaten me, but you made one vitual mistake. Quantity does beat quality."

Kakashi felt someone behind him. 'He has another ninja working with him, what kind of fool am I.' Kakashi looked back at the ninja behind him. And he was shocked to see who it was.

"It… can't be. Sasuke?"
