Looks like I wont be finishing the game today, after all :)

Huh. This is my longest story, ever. Thirteen chapters. Thats just weird.

Hehe, enjoy. :)

"Maa, stop thinking, I can see the smoke already."

Iruka briefly looked at him. Just what I needed. "Just shut up! Bastard!" he yelled and threw one of his kunai on the older one. He missed. That was good, he had wanted to.

Kakashi grinned and leaped towards his enemy. He is angry. That will be easy. He pulled out his own kunai and aimed the blunt end on Iruka's thorax.

That should send him to the realm of dreams for some time.

Kakashi missed.

Iruka jumped up when Kakashi lunged on him, he didn't aim his move towards the branch, no, he jumped straight up and pushed himself off of the tree. He fled over the branch, towards the ground, and tangled the wire in between his fingers. He crossed both his hands with wire nets once, and once more.

Just a second! He bended his fingers and gripped the chakra wires in fast trained movement. Two meters. The ground was close. Iruka stretched his arms and let himself fall down flat on his stomach.

Hope I didn't screw it. He quickly prayed to all gods he could remember and watched wide-eyed the nearing surface. Damn. He thought as he could already recognize each and every blade of grass. Damn. He thought as he heard the chakra wire moan and cut the branch. Damn. He thought as the chakra wire strained and pulled on his palms, wrists and chest, where he had crossed them. Damn. He thought, as he was launched back up and rolled in the air so that his beck was facing the ground. He stilled two feets above the surface.

Damn, I am good. He though as he couldn't hold back a chuckle. It worked, without the usual calculating and stuff, and it worked good.

Iruka didn't have time to congratulate himself, because right there, on his left, was standing one confused copy-nin. The copy-nin who had tried to put him asleep. The same copy-nin who had probably heard his wicked laugh. Damn.

"He-he. That was fun." Iruka grinned and freed himself from the wire. He didn't let go of it, yet. Time to play the Spider. The genin took out more of the wire with a single pull and jumped up to a branch before one flying kunai could hit him. Then down and to the left, so that he was passing the copy-nin. And up again, and down, up, down, left. Dodge another kunai. Roll down, around the tree, up, jump to the close branch, down. Back where he had landed.

"Ne.. Kakashi. Do you like spiders?" Iruka titled his head a little and watched as the jounin halted.

"No." Hatake threw a kunai and Iruka clashed it with his own.

"Hmm.. Too bad. I like them. And.. Do you like flies?"

Kakashi blinked. "... why?"

"Because, my dear Kakashi..," Iruka smiled wickedly, "You are going to know how does one fly live.. and … I am the spider."

Raido lazily crouched as one of the shuriken flew past him. Is that kid for real? Pre-genin would dodge that.

"I know what you are thinking, Raido." Kotetsu smirked again. He was still holding the second shuriken in his palm.

"Well.. good for you." Raido mumbled and rotated a kunai on his middle finger. To throw or not to throw.. He threw it and Kotetsu repelled it with the shuriken.

"I know, right." There was a wicked smile on his face and almost maniacal light in his eyes.

Raido heard a movement of air behind him and turned partly around, so that he won't let his opponent out of his sigh. Kid or not, it's against the common sense to turn his back on an enemy. His eyes went wide when he saw the same shuriken Kotetsu had thrown on him, returning back. He hit it with a kunai and changed it's trajectory.

"Impressive." Kotetsu laughed and waved his arm in front of him. He sent the weapon back on the static form of Raido. The jounin repelled it again, and again Kotetsu sent it on him.

That's starting to get old. Seems like he can control it, probably with chakra.. that means.. if I catch it.. Raido prepared himself and caught the weapon in between his palms. He smiled.

"Garde." Kotetsu said calmly and threw the second shuriken just a feet to the left, attaching second chakra wire to the middle of the first.

"You missed." Raido frowned. He felt the tugging on the shuriken. Can it be..? He abruptly let the shuriken go and jumped away, but the shuriken had already flew past him, changing it's direction because of the wire, and wrapped itself around his shoulders.

"Looks like Check." Kotetsu titled his head to the side. And he was still smiling.

Hayate bled. He could smell it, feel it and even see the small drops of red liquid falling down on the branch. He didn't like blood. Not his own. He gripped his katana more tightly and dodged another series of senbon.

I need to get closer to him, I can't even fight him like this.

He jumped forward and was forced to retreat once again by a formation of kunai. Aaaw! Stupid senbon, stupid jounin. He was starting to get frustrated. The fact that Genma hadn't once moved from his position didn't help the matter.

"Are you just going to be lazy there?" he mumbled so that Shiranui won't hear him. He didn't need any more smug replies. Hayate moved his hand inside of his pouch to know what else could he use.

Let's see.. Five more kunai, seven shuriken, but I can't use them very good, I am more into short-range fights. Two meters of chakra wire, yodisol, bandages, scarf.. Why do I carry a scarf around? Small box of soldier pills and blood pills, smoke bomb filled with something stinking, I don't really want to know what Iruka put there, a knife, small piece of paper and pencil..

Hayate sighed. The only think he could use were the weapon and the smoke bomb. And that would be just ridiculous, not talking that he didn't really want to traumatize the jounin.

"What's up, kid?" Genma asked bored. He was just trying to tick him of, Hayate knew it.

The genin smirked a little and took out the bomb. It will help. At least to distract him. And then.. He grinned evilly and threw it without second thought.

He was, after all Ibiki's pupil.

Two things - "garde" is a phrases in a game of chess, in the moment when the Queen is in danger; and yodisol is a brand of yodine.

Aah, new favourite word (wicked) as I can see. Bleh. :D

R..r..r..rock is death by M. Manson is the song I was listening to while writting this. So.. review :D
