When Plans Backfire
As Azukari ran through the tree tops he thought to himself, "I mustn't fail this time. I only
get one more shot and if I don't kill him this time I'll have to pay with my own life." Azukari
stopped only a mile outside the Village of the Leafs and stood on top of a very tall tree. He stood
there for quite a while as he collected his thoughts. When he had gathered himself he pulled the hood
of his jacket over his head so it cast a shadow over his face so you could only see his bottom jaw.
Azukari ran so swiftly through the tree branches that all one could see is a faint blur running through
the trees.
Back at the Leaf Village in an open clearing
"Ok, so you both know what to do right?" Kakashi asked Naruto and Sasuke.
"We sure do! Believe it!" Naruto exclaimed with his signature smirk on his face.
"Yeah, but what should we do about Sakura?" Sasuke questioned. "She never met back up
with us and she's not at her house."
"We'll deal with her later," Kakashi replied. "Right now we have to focus on defeating
Azukari. This won't be easy but with how well planned out we are I think we just might win."
"Yeah! That punk will think twice before messing with me again!" Naruto continued to grin.
"Oh please." Sasuke thought to himself
"Ok then, you two go off to your positions and come out when I give the signal, got it?"
Kakashi ordered.
Naruto and Sasuke ran hastily off to their positions as Kakashi stayed in the center of the
open area and pulled out a kunai knife. Kakashi looked around as if he already knew where Azukari
was going to strike.
Suddenly Azukari burst out from the top of the trees and lunged at Kakashi. Kakashi
grinned to himself as he prepared for hand-to-hand combat as last time. As Kakashi and Azukari
fought at the extremely high speed again Kakashi threw his kunai knife in the air. Just as he did
Naruto and Sasuke emerged from the brush not far from where Kakashi and Azukari were. First
Naruto went for a swing at Azukari and so did Sasuke. Azukari gave a very soft and quick laugh
before arching himself backwards causing Naruto and Sasuke to punch each other in the face.
Then Azukari proceeded with a back flip and brought one of his feet into Kakashi's chin. Then he
brought both his feet up and collided both of them into the side of Naruto and Sasuke's faces. As
Azukari finished his back flip, he gasped as he realized that his opponents were logs. Azukari then
proceeded to look up with wide eyes as he saw Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke all throwing about 3
kunai knifes each at him.
"Yeah! We got him!" Naruto yelled in excitement as every one of the kunai knifes hit
Azukari, sending him to the ground. Still about 20 feet in the air, Kakashi started getting a strange
feeling almost as if someone was still there. Just as Kakashi began to think of himself being
paranoid, he felt someone bring their arms up underneath his own then clasp their hands together
behind his head.
"No!" Kakashi yelled as he turned his head enough to make out Azukari's grin. Still in the
middle of yelling, Azukari flipped both himself and Kakashi upside down and began spinning ( it's
pretty much like Rock Lee's primary lotus jutsu except he has Kakashi in a full nelson). Naruto and
Sasuke both gasped because they both understood what Azukari was going to do. When Azukari
and Kakashi landed on the ground, a lot of dust burst into the air so Naruto and Sasuke couldn't see
if Kakashi survived or not. As the dust cleared Naruto and Sasuke stared at the image they found
speechless. They both saw Azukari still holding onto Kakashi in the full nelson and arching his back
so his feet were touching the ground but his back wasn't and Kakashi was doubled over himself,
motionless with his neck bent at such an angle Naruto and Sasuke thought his neck was broken. Azukari slowly let go of Kakashi and let
his body flop to the ground and stood up. Azukari looked
down at Kakashi's still motionless body for a moment then he brought his attention to Naruto and
Sasuke.
"H-h-he's not human!" Naruto stuttered.
"I...don't...I don't believe it!" Sasuke stuttered also.
