(Time Skip-Shippuden)
The sun was at it's highest as it shined brightly over the Valley of Death. Suddenly a gust of wind would pick up and as it did a few leaves would appear and dance in the wind in a circular formation before disbursing just as Keni appeared standing on top of the Madara statue. He was wearing black arm guards, black pants, and a white no sleeve long collar kind of jacket which he only had half way zippered up with the Uchiha crest on the back which could not be seen as it was covered by the black cloak he was wearing. Keni was now ten and had already picked up some very useful and powerful jutsus courtesy of his sharingan but aside from that he did manage to create two of his very own jutsus.
At this point in time Sasuke and the rest of the Taka members were on their way to try an capture the eight tail jinchūriki known as Killer B. Keni continued staring just staring onwards as though mesmerized, slowly and ever so subtly Zetsu would emerge part of his head from out the ground a few feet away as he glared over at Keni. Zetsu would then smile before submerging back into the ground as he made his way to Tobi. Keni would soon after smile before saying,
"So now it begins."
Tobi was back at the hideout with Kisame divulging his true identity as well as all his plans when Zetsu finally arrived.
"He's back, he's back!" the White Zetsu would announce
"Would you calm down, you're getting all worked up over nothing." Replied the Black Zetsu
Just then Tobi would switch his focus from Kisame to Zetsu,
"Whose back?" asked Tobi
"The other uchiha." Replied the Black Zetsu as he smiled
"He's no longer of any use to me, especially seeing as I now have Sasuke."
"His eyes, what about his eyes!" asked White Zetsu.
Tobi would think about what White Zetsu had said for a couple minutes before suddenly vanishing into his eye as he would soon enough reappear a few feet in front of Keni. Luckily he was still out of view and with that he'd launch three Great Fire Balls. Keni would be leaping from branch to branch before suddenly stopping as he suddenly felt something up ahead. Soon enough he would notice the attacks and thinking fast he'd use the body flicker technique allowing him to evade them with no harm to himself.
He would now be on the ground as he looked up a tree at the nearest branch and there he would spot Tobi.
"You should have stayed gone." Said Tobi
"I wondered exactly how long it would have taken you to show up."
"I'm actually only here to claim your eyes as well as to make sure that Sasuke truly is the last surviving uchiha."
Keni would smile as he took out a kunai and immediately took to his battle stance, "Show me what you got." Tobi would smile as he said, "I'm not your opponent, he is." All of a sudden Keni would slightly turn his head to glance behind of him after hearing Tobi's comment. In one swift felt moment of desperation lifted up his arm as he used the blade of the kunai to take the brunt of Kisame's swing which had a great amount of force behind it even though his Sharkskin was such a huge sword . Keni's feet began to slide across the floor before he leaned in applying weight to his kunai as he was about to use the force of Kisame's swing to push himself back. Suddenly Keni felt his legs begin to buckle and he didn't understand why, it was as if his strength was being drained. He would quickly let go of the kunai as he bent his torso backwards allowing the sword to go over him and with that Keni would focus charka into his hands as he placed them on the floor and quickly pushed off of the ground into the air performing a few back flips before landing on branch a as he glared down at Kisame.
"Don't tell me you're about run, Sharkskin and I haven't even began to start playing yet" Joked Kisame
Keni was crouched down on a branch in complete shock that Kisame was able to just sneak up on him like that with no forewarning. He would then allow a devious smirk to come across his face just as he closed his eyes. Keni would then get out of his crouch position as he opened his eyes revealing his fully developed sharingan.
"Ok Kisame, lets play." He said with a smile
Tobi was still where he was from the beginning of the fight and he didn't have any intentions on moving seeing as he was highly interested in seeing what Keni had picked up over the last couple of years since last he saw him.
Keni would notice that even though sharkskin was covered in it's bandages, that it wasn't a regular sword, so with that he figured that if he was going to take on Kisame he was going to have to play hard and fast. He also knew that based off of what he'd been told by Itachi, if he was going to have any kind of a chance taking on Kisame he was going to have to make sure that sharkskin under no circumstances made contact with his body.
Keni would launch off of the branch at Kisame and as he did he would perform a quick hand jutsu, then the next thing you know Keni and Kisame were locked in a stand still just as there blades were locked. Kisame would use brunt strength to push Keni off and would then soon after launch another attack as he swung Samehada at Keni as he was aiming for his midsection. Keni had just landed after being some what thrown by Kisame and would quickly change his grip on his sword as he angled it using only one hand as his blade blocked Kisame's Sharkskin. Thinking quickly he would plant his sword into the ground loosing his grip on the handle as he pushed off of it launching a round house kick to Kisame's face. His kick would connect causing Kisame's head to tilt to the side as he took a few steps to his right. Keni would then remove his sword from the ground as he turned to face Kisame jumping back a few feet placing space between the two allowing him to be able to defend or attack depending on Kisame's next move.
"Hmmmm, this might actually turn out to be fun. Sharkskin and I will enjoy shaving you down a few feet." Said Kisame
Kisame would begin to form hand signs and using his sharingan Keni would pay very close attention. Kisame would then launch one of his shark bomb jutsu which Keni would just simply dodge after launching two windmills that he summoned. He knew that based off of the terrain he was some what at a advantage but the fact that Kisame was constantly replenishing his chakra was becoming something of a nuisance. Kisame and Keni would continue on in their intense battle and as Tobi watched on he was highly surprised at Keni. After a while Keni would launch multiple kunais at Kisame and he would just deflect them with his sharkskin as he continued pursuing him, as Keni continued backing away putting space between him and Kisame as he kept Kisame slightly out of reach. Keni at the last minute would wrap his fingers in some wires and swing from a branch and as he did so the wires that were attached to the multiple kunias he threw would wrap around Samehada instantly yanking it out of Kisame's hand and plunging it into the ground a few inches from him just as he had landed on ground. Kisame would begin forming hand signs as he was going to attempt to launch an attack to separate Keni from sharkskin sadly enough Keni would counter with a jutsu he picked from the land of lighting called Lighting Illusion Flash of Lighting Pillars which would blind Kisame and Tobi. He would then use this time to form a few hand signs and with that he would form the illusion of a giant sharingan eye that would appear behind of him locking Kisame in a highly powerful and newly developed genjutsu utilizing the elements of water and wind that could be found in the air to help form this particular jutsu. Kisame would soon find himself being struck down by Samehada. Keni would continue on with the jutsu as he had Kisame completely immobilized and was about launch the finishing strike in his genjutsu when he noticed Tobi materializing next to him. Keni would throw an exploding Kunai at the ground causing a distraction as he fled the scene knowing that he wasn't quite ready to take on Kisame and Tobi both at the same time.
Tobi would walk over to Kisame and attempt to completely free him from Keni's genjutsu but to no avail. Tobi was only able to bring Kisame back to full consciousness and only after an extend amount of chakra was used up but still even then Kisame's body would remain immobilized. Tobi would suck Kisame and himself into his eye as they reformed back at the Akatsuki hideout. Tobi was highly impress with how much Keni had grown since there last encounter; the fact that he could have projected such a powerful and highly developed genjutsu without the use of the Tsukuyomi was incredible. Tobi was even more baffled at the fact that a mere ten year old could create such a jutsu. It was becoming more obvious that Keni had been taught well, the only question now was by who and what other techniques the young uchiha had up his sleeves. Tobi knew that what he saw today was just the tip of the iceberg and that annoyed him seeing as now Keni just became more opposition. Tobi was now more adamant about his Eye of the Moon plan which he felt might be in danger with the sudden reappearance of Keni Uchiha Hatake.
