4. Duel at Daybreak: Kakashi vs. Tetsuma
The twelve Genin were escorted from the entrance of the village to a hotel called Happy Hotel. They entered and the Fruit ninja that took them to the hotel said, "It'll take a while before we can the golden fruit for you. We've provided 4 complementary hotel suites. There's a room for each one of your teams on the 13th floor. By the way, what are your names? I need to record them."
"Kakashi Itonami."
"Shizu Seijou."
"Tetsuma Ayuta."
"Musashi Shinmiri."
"Maasaki Nagoyaka."
"Reiko Kanashimi."
"Hayoto Yukai."
"Chouko Ayuta."
"Daichi Souzoushii."
"Genta Kigurou."
"Marumi Akarui."
"Jin Mijikai."
The fruit ninja wrote their names down and said "Have fun." He then left the hotel,
"So what are we supposed to do while waiting for them to get the golden fruit?" asked Shizu as her team proceeded to their room, 1313.
"I guess we're supposed to just wait," replied Tetsuma.
"That'll be fun," said Shizu sarcastically.
"Of course it will!" shouted Kakashi being actually serious.
Kakashi opened the door to the hotel room and they sat on their beds.
5 minutes later…
The phone rang and Tetsuma picked it up. "The voice at the other end said, "Um, we misplaced the golden fruit so you might have to wait a couple of days before you can get it." He hung up.
"This is great," he told his team. "We have to stay here overnight."
The three tried to sleep because it was almost morning, but they couldn't and
Tetsuma said, "Hey Kakashi, do you want to duel? I've always wondered which one of us in stronger".
"Okay then since none of us can sleep," Kakashi replied. "Let's go the rooftop."
"I'll go too!" yelled Shizu.
The three of them left their hotel room, locked it, and walked up 2 flights of stairs and opened the door there. It was about time for the sun to rise as the two guys stood a couple of feet next to each other with Shizu sitting about 10 feet away in a chair.
"We go on three," said Kakashi. "One…Two…Three!"
The fight started and the two jumped off of the ground and landed 20 feet back to create some space. Tetsuma pulled out his notebook, scribbled for a couple of seconds and faced the pages toward Kakashi. "Crow," he said sending out multiple crows out of the book. "Black Feather." The crows shot their feathers at Kakashi forcing him to use the technique he had kept hidden since he learned it.
"Ice Release: Ice Blade!" yelled Kakashi. A giant blue blade made of ice appeared in his right hand after he formed the hand seals. He gripped the blade and swung in the direction of the feathers and yelled, "Ice Slash". This destroyed all of the feathers with a single swipe. "This is the technique I've just learned to use," he said to Tetsuma. "I can even combine it with my Ice Slash technique."
Tetsuma was still a little dazed from what happened, but he continued his Black Feather technique. Kakashi simply destroyed the feathers with his sword.
"Crap, I'll run out of chakra faster than him at this rate," thought Tetsuma in his head. "I have to draw my favorite animal. Flamingo!" Tetsuma yelled after he scribbled for a couple of seconds in his notebook. Out of his notebook, came 3 pink flamingos that flew around Kakashi. "Solar Wind," Tetsuma said. The flamingos reacted and flapped their wings to blast a powerful gust of orange colored wind at Kakashi. He jumped high into the sky to dodge the attack.
"What was that?" questioned Kakashi.
"That was solar wind, a wind created when my flamingos use the energy from the sun," Tetsuma said as he pointed to the rising sun. "The wind becomes much more powerful and can create holes in solid rock. The only downfall of it is that my flamingos can't use their powerful technique at night."
"Interesting that you chose to flamingos as your favorite animal," replied Kakashi as he back away to avoid another attack.
"Solar Wind!" he yelled. More of the powerful gusts of wind were created and were directed at Kakashi. He jumped again and the solar wind collided with the ground, creating a crater as big as the wind blast. Another solar wind was released and it hit Kakashi, pushing him onto the nearby wall, next to the door back into the hotel. He slammed against the wall and fell with a thud on the hard concrete. It appeared that he was knocked out.
Tetsuma approached closer to the fallen body and when he was only one foot away, Kakashi stood up and yelled, "Replication no Justu!" He created ten other clones. "Ice Slash," Kakashi yelled causing all of his clones to attack with their ice blades. The first ten all attacked only to have their blades pass right through Tetsuma confusing him as these ten continued to use their ineffective attacks while the real Kakashi dashed passed Tetsuma and slashed at all of the flamingos, cutting them in half and turning them back into piles of graphite. He then started blending in with his attacking clones. "Perfect," Kakashi thought in his mind. "He's confused now". Kakashi rushed up to Tetsuma and struck with his Ice Slash technique. Tetsuma was now slammed against the hard wall. He got back his balance and jumped at Kakashi while getting two kunai out of his back pocket. The two kunai strikes were parried by Kakashi's sword and he pushed Tetsuma back onto the wall.
"Wow," Shizu thought in her head. "These guys are strong. I better start practicing."
The fight then continued until the door leading to the hotel swung open to reveal Marumi and Hayoto, both with odd looks on their faces. "What happened to you two?" asked Shizu.
"My team, team 2 and team 3 went to a bar," replied Marumi.
"How did you get in?" Shizu asked.
"Well, we all used a disguise technique since we saw that the guy standing in front of the bar wasn't very smart," said Hayoto. "He couldn't see through our extremely simple disguise even thought it was quite obvious."
"We drank a little bit of beer for fun," said Marumi. "Reiko, Maasaki, and Chouko didn't go with us into the bar though. When we got there, they told us they were going back to their hotel rooms. Once we got back, we went to your room and knocked, but no one answered. Maasaki then came out of his room and told me that there was a lot of chakra coming from the rooftop, so Hayoto and I decided to go see what it was."
"Oh," replied Shizu. After Shizu said this, they heard many screams coming from the village.
"We'll finish this duel some other day," said Kakashi. "I want to see what's happening in the village."
"NO!" yelled Tetsuma. "That'll make it a tie and a tie is worse than losing"! Shizu then started pushing Tetsuma through the door, back into the hotel, and towards the stair. Marumi and Hayoto then stumbled behind them because they were still a little drunk. Kakashi followed close behind. On their way down, they met their fellow Cupcake ninjas and together, they walked to the lobby of the hotel and opened the door that led to the village.
