Chapter 12
The Final Battle Begins
Once again Kakashi found himself eye to eye, Sharingan to Sharingan, with the vile Reaper Ninja. Zaroff, was surprised to see Kakashi, the ninja he thought Sasuke had killed, staring at him. "How? How did you survive?"
Kakashi smiled and said. "Isn't it obvious. I thought your Sharingan saw all."
"You, you must have done a jutzu, to make yourself appear dead. And you fooled Sasuke."
"I'm not sure that Sasuke was the one fooled."
Kakashi quickly attacked Zaroff, but was countered and thrown to the side.
"Copy Ninja, you may have survived, but you are still too weakened to defeat me." Zaroff gloated.
"Maybe, but who says I want to defeat you?"
Meanwhile Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Iruka ran as quickly as possible towards where Kakashi was. Iruka was using the directions Tsunade had given him.
"Hey Iruka-sensei." Naruto said.
"Yes Naruto?"
"Who is the guy who's doing this?"
"Well Naruto…"
"His name is Zaroff." Sasuke finished. "He is supposable an Uchiha."
"Uchiha?" Sakura asked.
Iruka remembered what Kakashi had told him and said. "Sasuke, Kakashi thinks that he is not part of your clan. That his Sharingan were given to him like Kakashi received his, just that he learned how to activate them."
Sasuke silenced. "That jerk will pay for fooling me." He added.
Sakura just smiled as Naruto said. "He'll pay for all he's done."
Meanwhile the war was looking worst. Many Shinobi had fallen, and many were hurt. "Were not doing so well Jijaira." Tsunade said as she slashed a guys head with a kunai. "Just about a thousand more." Jijaira answered jokingly.
Kakashi's fight also looked worst. Not only was he very low on chakra, but he was feeling pretty beaten up.
'I can't hold him forever. I hope Iruka solves everything.' Before he could finish Kakashi was thrown back by an incoming fist by Zaroff.
"You disappoint me Kakashi." Zaroff said with a grin.
Zaroff walked towards Kakashi, who was bent down, and said. "What do you think of my idea Kakashi? I trick Sasuke, your student, into working for me. I then declared war on your village, and forced all the elite Shinobi into it. Then I have Sasuke destroy the remaining ninja, and steal the sacred scroll that will make me invincible. After Sasuke delivers me the scroll I'll kill him, join the war and kill all form your village that are left and then wipe out every innocent in your village. And after that…" He grinned and said. "I'll move on village to village and do the same thing over and over again." He finished and laughed evilly.
"You!" Kakashi stood up and said. "I won't let you."
"You? You're already to weak to stop me, as soon as I kill you, my plan will be complete. Face it Copy Ninja, you've lost the war."
"Not if I…" Kakashi in light speed swung a punch a threw Zaroff through a wall in his hideout. Zaroff broke it a fell on the other side. "Have something to say about it." he finished.
Zaroff stood up. "That's it Kakashi, you die now."
"You can try."
Kakashi made a hand sign and said. "Art of the Doppelganger, Kakashi Style." Suddenly about twenty Kakashis appeared and attacked Zaroff. Zaroff was overwhelmed and hit by all sides. He was thrown back, but quickly recovered. "So that's how you want to play." Zaroff made his own hand sign and said. "Art of the Doppelganger, Zaroff Style."
Twenty Zaroffs appeared and all the clones fought, Zaroff having the obvious upper hand.
Meanwhile Hinata had managed, with the help of Konohamaru, take everybody who was attacked by Sasuke to the hospital. She looked out through the window and was deep in thought.
"Are you ok Hinata." Konohamaru asked.
Hinata looked at him and said. "I am, don't worry." She turned back to the window and thought. 'Naruto, I hope your alright.'
Even after using all his power Kakashi was still overpowered and thrown back. His clones vanished in a puff of smoke and only the real him and real Zaroff remained. Kakashi gave one last attacked, but was easily countered and kicked in the face and thrown back. Kakashi fell, beaten.
Zaroff stood in front of him and laughed. "You said you were going to stop me, but here I am in victory."
Zaroff lifted a kunai and placed above Kakashi's head. "You die now, Copy Ninja Kakashi." Zaroff was about to strike when a giant cloud of smoke covered the area.
"What trick is this?" Zaroff asked surprised.
"Not my trick, but you might face somebody stronger than me at this point." Kakashi looked at the smoke and said. "You'll face the number one hyperactive knucklehead ninja, Naruto Uzumaki."
"Who?" Zaroff asked.
When the smoke cleared Naruto was standing there, kunai at hand, and said. "Zaroff, I presume."
Zaroff turned to him and said. "I am, and you?"
Naruto smiled. "The name's Naruto Uzumaki, believe it."
Told you it was short. Next one will be longer, promise.
