Riku was still about 15 minutes from Iruka's location. Iruka couldn't stand much more of this shock torture that he was being put through. Natsu threw a Kunai at Dituske's face and grazed his cheek. The man turned to Natsu and easily broke free from the child's Jutsu. He did a few hand seals and then lowered his hand and crouched.
Iruka knew this stance from anywhere.
"Kakashi taught our special ops this when he vanished from the battlefield. Prepare for an old technique, Chidori!" The man ran at Natzu, but was stopped by two kicks too the chest. Jiriyah was standing and looked ready to fight.
"Sensei what was that move you did earlier? Rasengan? Hmph I got this," Jiriyah began raising his chakra, but didnt get a concentrated sphere. Instead, he received a hand of wind blades and smashed it into his enemy's chest.
Dituske flew backwards and caught himself with his katana.
"Not bad kid. But that's nothing compared to my chidori," the man laughed as he charged up another.
As the man began to charge, Riku appeared and felt his eye twitch. He saw the man running and he could guess the path he would travel. Riku dodged the chidori and landed a huge kick to the man's stomach. The man quickly swiped at Riku and landed across his chest.
"No Riku!" Jiriyah yelled.
The veins around his eyes surfaced.
"Byakugan!" Jiriyah could see every chakra point in the body of his enemy.
He quickly attacked and struck the man 32 times, sealing all of the mans chakra channels for up to ten minutes.
"Good job Jiriyah! Now get Riku and lets go!" Iruka yelled.
"No... I.. I can still fight," Riku struggled to stand.
He performed a series of hand seals and looked at the kneeling, injured Dituske.
"Now for my best Jutsu. I've been working on this for the last year. It will use up all of my chakra and nearly destroy my body," Riku's hand was encased in a lighting formed blade.
"Lighting Style: 100 bolt pierce!"
Riku ran at Dituske and thrusted his lighting blade at the man. At the last second, the man was saved by two tall masked figures. Both wore long white cloaks with black flames on them. One of the men had grabbed Riku's attack with his bare hand. The other placed his hand on Riku's forehead for a few seconds.
"He is the one. What should we do?" He asked his partner.
"Leave him for now. Let him grow into his power. We can always kill him later."
Riku punched at the leader's face, but the leader caught it with ease and hit him full force with a palm to the chest.
"Five pronged Seal." He said and instantly, Riku felt all of his chakra fade away.
The two grabbed the ninja and left.
Riku fainted after the seal was attached and Iruka had to carry him. As he picked him up, he noticed the rep had a Kunai lodged in his throat. The mission was a complete failure. And worse yet, Iruka had an injured student. The five prong seal stopped all flow of chakra and made it extremely painful to use any Jutsu. This wasn't good for Riku or team 3.
Two days later...
Jiriyah hadn't left the hospital room that his best friend was in. Riku hadn't opened his eyes yet and Jiriyah wouldn't leave his side. Natsu and Iruka had been training intensely and Natsu had learned to heal more serious injuries. It was raining heavily as Jiriyah slept on the chair in the hospital room once more. Iruka and Natsu ahead just returned to their homes. Suddenly, Jiriyah felt a presence in the room, which was dimly lit.
"Who's there?," Jiriyah began raising his chakra.
A man stepped foward, wearing an Anbu black ops mask and a ninja black ops uniform.
He placed his hand over Riku's eyes and there was a small raise in chakra, then he faded int the darkness once more.
Jiriyah suddenly felt extremely tired.
"What..., Genjutsu... Dammit," he collapsed to the floor, fast asleep.
When Jiriyah woke the next morning, Riku was dressed in his clothing and looked stronger than ever. Then Jiriyah realized there was a panic in the hallways outside.
"It's the Mist village! They sent assassins after the 7th Hokage!" He heard a nurse yell.
Jiriyah looked at Riku and they nodded to each other. Both boys left out of the window and began running along the path to the Hokage mansion.
Upon arriving, Riku and Jiriyah met two assassins who had already swung katana's at them.
Jiriyah charged up some wind chakra into a rotating blade and ran towards one.
"Rasenblade!" He yelled as he jabbed at the man.
His opponent easily side stepped and kicked him hard on the face.
"Water Style: Water Mirrior," the man mumbled.
Jiriyah was trapped under a small amount of water and he was going to drown.
Riku wasn't thinking and did the hand seals to fireball Justu. As he finished them, it felt as if every bone in his body had snapped. This pain send him to the hard ground beneath him, and the two men charged him.
He felt his eye twitch and suddenly change. He saw every movement the two men made towards him and dodged every blow. He then copied the hand seals to the Jutsu he saw from his mission.
"Chidori!"
Riku felt the pain again but it was somewhat duller and more tolerable. He sent a lighting covered fist through the chest of one assassin and freed Jiriyah.
"Thanks Riku, now-"
"I'll handle it," Riku copied more hand seals he had seen, "Water style: Water Mirror."
The second man was swallowed up.
"Whoa.. Your eyes are red and its like u have another pupil. I think you have.. the Sharingan. That can't be though because the Uchiha are all gone... And your father is Sai... My mother told me of the power of the Sharingan. The more the user is filled with hate, the more power is unlocked. It was said that my father was killed by Sasuke Uchiha, his best friend. I hope that you won't try anyone so evil just to gain e upper hand,"Jiriyah explained.
"I won't ever try it. I feel great though. I can see everything," Riku smirked.
"You are a lot stronger with those eyes. It's like my byakugan. We need to save the Hokage and our ocular Jutsu will help us greatly. We c-" a man suddenly appeared between them.
Both boys jumped back wards and prepared for a fight.
Jiriyah noticed the familiar stance.
"Your the guy that put the seal on Riku! Careful Riku, he is on another level," Jiriyah warned.
The man threw a Kunai at Jiriyah, who quickly dodged. He jumped up in the air, but was met by the blinding speed of the man's leg to his abdomen. The man sent him back down to the ground and struck him with a sword strike to the leg.
Riku looked stunned. His Sharingan couldn't keep up with the movements of the man. Riku lunged at the man, but was met a quickly made chidori that shocked Riku's chest. Then he saw it. He looked into the mans eye hole and saw a Sharingan staring back at him.
"Tsyukoyomi," the man mumbled.
Riku was trapped in a scene where he was murdering all of his friends. He couldn't stop it from happening and it played on a loop for 72 hours.
This man was the legendary Kakashi Hatake. The disappearing ninja of the second Great War.
