"What is it, Naruto?" Kakashi asked puzzled. "It's about Ayato… he's gone." "Gone! Gone where?" Just then, Sasuke and Sakura appeared from different directions. Kakashi couldn't help but notice. "Don't try to be slick, you two. That's the oldest trick in the book." Sakura then blushed and Sasuke just scoffed. "You talk too much, sensei!" Sakura yelled. How did he know so fast? Kakashi-sensei has gotten better. "Well… if you're through embarrassing yourselves, we need to go to the forest of death." Naruto was looking confused. "Why the forest of death, sensei?" "Because that's where we will find Ayato…" It took a while, but the troop made it to the forest of death. "Ok, we need to split up to find him." In a flash, they vanished from sight.
Where could he be? It'll take forever to find one person in this deathtrap. Sasuke stopped in his tracks. He noticed a figure moving about the forest. Ayato! He moved as quick as he could. "Don't move." Sasuke commanded. Ayato whisked around. "What are you doing here, Sasuke?" Ayato seemed to have just been fighting for his life, since his clothes had been tattered and torn. "Get up, you jackass." Sasuke started, "Kakashi worried sick about you and he's gonna kill you when I bring you back." Ayato started to stand up and move to attack. "You'll have to fight me if you want me to come along." Ayato then pushed his headband up, motioned hand signals and yelled, "Byakugan!" Sasuke couldn't believe it. "You're a Hyuga too!" "That's right. My clan is—was a hybrid of Uchina and Hyuga bloodlines." You always wanted to fight Neji, so try me." "As you wish, sharingan! Let's see what's stronger, the sharingan…" "Or the byakugan!" Ayato finished. They then charged each other at full force. "You're too slow, Uchina!" Ayato had already appeared behind Sasuke with a kunai. "Oh, really." Sasuke had disappeared and came flying down with an axe kick. But Ayato caught it in midair. "The same old trick?" Sasuke smirked. "With a new twist!" He flipped out of Ayato's grasp and then, "Fire Style, Phoenix Flame Jutsu!" Ayato readied himself with a counterattack. "Thunder Style, Thunderbolt Jutsu!" The blast threw both of them back into a tree in separate directions, but they were far from done…
'What is that energy? Is that Sasuke? And the other must be… Ayato!' "Oh, no. Sasuke must be fighting Ayato! I've got to go and stop them." Just then Sakura was passing by. Whoa… that shockwave was way too powerful for anything of this forest. It must be… "Sasuke! I'm coming!" By the time Kakashi and Sakura got there, for the first time ever, Naruto beat them to the punch. "What took you guys so long?" This made Sakura mad. "Shut up, dumb Naruto!" "Naruto, where are Ayato and Sasuke?" Kakashi asked. "They're everywhere! I can't keep up with them!" At the sound of that Sasuke and Ayato stopped in their tracks. They both started to speak, "Don't interfere! This has nothing to do with you!" Kakashi noticed the sharingan in Sasuke's eyes and the byakugan in Ayato's. He smirked and turned to Naruto and Sakura. "Naruto, Sakura, under no circumstances are you to step in, understood?" They both looked defiant and concerned, but had to oblige.
"You're out of your league!" Ayato yelled. "Oh, am I?" Sasuke then disappeared. Only to come down with another axe kick from the air and this time it hit its mark. "Time for my signature…" With a strong kick from the ground, he had Ayato in the air. Following up with another kick to the left side, right side, and backhand blow to the chin, sending Ayato to the ground. "I'm not finished with you yet!" And just like the move he created three years ago, he finished it off with a punch to the stomach and an axe kick to the stomach right before Ayato hit the ground. "Lion's Barrage!" Ayato could barely move after that attack. "Yeah, Sasuke, you show 'em!" Naruto and Sakura were cheering from the sidelines. 'Some things never change.' "Your friends shouldn't be so quick to cheer. I'm far from done…" Sasuke even looked shocked as well as Kakashi. "My turn now." Ayato began to make the hand of the tiger, just like when he fought Naruto. "Special Jutsu! Thunder Style! Raikiri Summons!" Lightning began to come from the skies to Ayato's hand. "Chidori Shadow Storm!" A tornado emerged from the ground, which took Sasuke to the skies. "Ahhhh!" Sakura couldn't help but jump to her feet, until Kakashi went to stop her. "No, Sakura! Sasuke got to handle this himself." Sakura started to cry.
"What kind of jutsu is this, sensei?" Naruto fiercely asked. "The Chidori Shadow Storm, a powerful move of the hidden cloud village, it works out like this." Kakashi started, "After the user summons enough lightning to the palm of his hands, while the enemy is distracted, the user creates a cyclone that emerges from the ground. When the enemy is in the air and in the cyclone, the user shoots lightning through the tornado. This jutsu jolts the opponent inside with lightning, while the cyclone is spinning the opponent around and ripping their skin in shreds. However… this jutsu uses an incredible amount of chakra and I think even Ayato has reached his limit." Sasuke smacked into the ground, hard. Apparently he had exhausted himself so much that he was out cold. "Sasuke, get up!" Naruto yelled. On the other hand, Ayato was conscious, but he couldn't move another inch. His last jutsu took out Sasuke, but himself as well. The match was over… Ayato had won. "Now we can interfere, Naruto…" Kakashi called out.
