I'm not even going to say anything here now anymore
Just in case som1 decides to murder me for repeating myself O.O
...
Kakashi drew a sharp breath as he just barely managed to reach the next building, he was sure his attacker was still calmly following him as if this one was waiting for him to take a wrong step, to stumble and fall.
The copy nin grimased, he was running low on breath and chakra not to mention his barged ribs where burning as fire from hell itself. Finally the edge of the field in front of the tree line came in view and he took a jump before he began a dash to get to the other side, his oponent however was a lot faster.
Needing to make a sudden stop kakashi planted his feet into the ground not wanting to collide with this in a black cloak covered stranger.
"Where is the vial?" The voice was cool, demanding.
Kakashi gritted his teeth watching the other carefully not wanting to be taken offguard.
"What vial?" He decided to play dumb, he needed time, in his condition he wouldnt last long and others might be endangered too.
"The one you stole." Was the short direct answer.
"I've stolen many things." He on his turn shot back.
This did seem to cut off the stranger for how long the short moment lasted. "You've drank it didnt you?" The voice was taunting almost chuckling with amusement.
"You poisoned yourself that you want it back so badly?" Kakashi asked wanting to keep the conversation going, regain some of his strenth.
"Its part of our torture program." The cloaked figure said. "You see, it highens the pain sences, it will save you from death yes but it comes with a price." The man chuckled softly. "In order to stay alive you need to undergo the pain of your injuries, real pain, you feel it dont you?" "But now since you stole the vial... we have a problem havn't we?" Slowly he advanced on the silver haired jounin lowering his voice to a mere whisper. "It's a secret and I dont like people who steal my secrets." His hand turning up with a kunai.
The copy nin watched it from the corner of his eye, if that stranger made one wrong move he was going to use a replacement tecnique. "If you dont want your secrets to be stolen you shouldnt have poisoned my men." Kakashi hissed, his body tensed.
"We can do this the easy or the hard way copy nin." The stranger shot back calmly. "You can tell me where you hid the vial now or we can wait till you're just barely able to speak writting in pain, as you already might have noticed it increaces the pain with every movement you make."
Ok the stranger had him on that point and it explained a lot as to why he was reacting so heavilly upon the poison, his sharingan was the main reason to it but he wasnt going to give up.
"I'd take my chances on not talking." He said barely getting time to finish his sentence before the stranger attacked.
Blocking this attack Kakashi took a jump backwards, he was pretty sure that if the stranger intended to kill him he would have been dead by now however in his current condition he wasnt going to risk more bleeding, he had already lost too much blood. That ment he had to hold up till help arrived.
He blocked the second attack too and used a replacement tecnique for the third although he was too late for the second part of that attack. Trowing his arm up in order to protect his head a sickning crack made him nausious, he didnt need a doctor to tell him he had just broken a bone there as he hadnt been properly able to brace his arm with chakra before the attack.
The stranger too occupied with his small victory did not notice the counter attack Kakashi placed and caught a foot right in the stomack sending him a few feet away from his target. The silver haired jounin swallowed the urge to trow up and tried to control his shallow hitching breath.
Suddenly an orange flash crossed the field, aiming straight for the stranger, halfway bursting out in more flashes that went different directions. At first the stranger was taken aback but not a second later most of the clone's dissapeared with a small poof.
"Naruto!" Kakashi yelled as he tried to get track of the boy, not wanting him to get injured let alone poisoned too.
The blonde haired boy recieved a hit in the stomack sending him halfway through the field. To the boy everything went silent as the cloaked figure jumped at him, sword raised.
Somewhere in the distance he heard Kakashi's voice shout Raikiri (lightning edge) before a sharp blue light made him close his eyes. When he opened them again the silver haired Jounin was located barely two steps away from him, one knee on the ground as the man leaned on his good arm, eyes squeezed shut in pain.
It took the blond boy a while to locate the stranger also quite close. The stranger seemed to be bleeding, the black cloak was shreaded revealing a deep gash.
A second voice disturbed the renewed silence "Konoha Gōriki Senpū!" (Leaf strong whirlwind) Making clear now Gai had also entered the scene. The stranger landed at the edge of the forrest, just in front of the first trees as Gai Channegingly raised his hand.
"Naruto, get your ass away from here, thats an order!" Kakashi commanded the boy.
"But..." Naruto began to protest only to be ignored.
"Gai, watch it, dont do more then neccisary." The silver haired jounin instructed while pushing himself upright with some effort.
"Hai, my eternal rival!" Gai saluted.
Both Kakashi and Naruto sweatdropped.
The stranger gritted his teeth and trew them an angry glare. "I see..." He said before brushing himself off, being carefull with the wound he had uptained from kakashi's raikiri. "I will get it another time, wait for me will you's?" And with that he dissapeared.
"Is he gone?" Naruto asked a tad dissapointed looking from Kakashi to Gai and back.
Gai nodded slowly, trowing Kakashi a worried look. "Naruto can you go get Tsunade?" The boy nodded before running off to do just that.
"Lay down on me or sit down on me but dont fall down on me Kakashi." The green spandex wearing guy mushed, grabbing Kakashi by the shoulder.
"Its part of a torture program." The silver haired jounin explained. "Both poisons, thats why he wants it back."
Gai frowned, it didnt make sence. Why would someone first poison the enemy and then heal them?
"I believe, in a way it was an accident they poisoned us, the vial we had stolen neutralises the first one but is a new kind of poison all itself." Kakashi pressed one hand against his hai-ate covering his sharingan eye. His head was beginning to trob again.
"My guess is it highens the pain senses each time you fight or maintly use chakra." He bit his lip, using the lightning edge had to be the worst decision he had made that day. He didnt think he was still bleeding as much as he had before but that didnt make him feel less light headed.
"So Kunerai, Genma and I will end up the same way as you if we continue fighting?" Gai asked, he didnt have much symptoms that worried him but seeing as in which condition kakashi was he didnt want to take his chances.
"Most likely." Kakashi agreed. "I dont know how long the poison will have an effect but seeing as our attacker left easilly enough I recon we'll have a while till it wears off." He went on.
"Well then we need to stop fighting till it does. " The green spandex wearing man noted dryly. Kakashi smiled slightly and noddded. "But first we're gonna get you to the hospital."
"Iië, it would be too easy to find besides they are dangerous and we'd be risking causualties." Kakashi portested.
"Then Iruka's house." Gai deadpanned.
And again the other jounin was about to protest if it wasnt for Tsunade dropping down next to them.
"Bed and rest for you brat!!" This one roared in a voice that even made Gai cringe under the volume.
"According to my sources you have been cut, poisoned and recieved some broken and barged bones." " You are releaved from your mission and suspended from others till you are fully healed Hatake Kakashi." She went on.
"That goes for you too Gai."
