The group could not help but be surprised by Shido's sudden request to fight Kakashi. They got over their shock long enough to hear Kakashi's response. Unnoticed by everyone else Kakudo's expression changed to a mischievous look for a split second. 'This ought to be good.' After finishing their food Shido spoke up. "Hey Kakashi we'll have our spar tomorrow in our training room so be here by ten." Kakashi just nods his head as he and the others, except for Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, Hikari, Kakudo, and Anko, head home. Once they left Hikari looks toward Shido. "Hey Shido did you plan to have a spar with Kakashi as soon as we got back?" Shido just looks at her and nods. Kakudo walks up to the two with Anko right behind him. "I look forward to you kicking his butt tomorrow, Shido." Shido nods then looks toward the remaining genin. "Hey guys if you want you can stay here, even you Hinata-sama." Naruto and Sasuke agree to stay and walk away but Hinata stays behind. "Shido-san how many times have I asked you not to call me that?" Shido just smiles and shrugs. "I don't know Hinata-sama, but I find it funny how you react to how I treat you." With that said Shido walks off to his room, and Hinata walks off towards a guest room near Naruto's room. Once it was clear that it was just the three of them left Kakudo speaks up. "Well then tomorrow is gonna be interesting." Anko looks confused while Hikari just sighs. "You're going to join them in their spar aren't you?" Kakudo just nods and then walks off.
The next day the group is sitting around the dining room eating lunch when someone knocks on the front door. Shido gets up and walks toward the door and opens to see Neji standing there. "Hey there Neji, what brings you here?" Neji just stands there with an indifferent expression. "I'm here looking for Hinata-sama." Hinata pokes her head around the wall and looks at Neji cautiously. "Did father send you Neji-nii?" Neji just glares at Hinata and nods. Kakudo walks into the room and looks toward Neji. "Hey Neji, would you like to stay for a little bit and watch a spar between Kakashi and Shido?" Neji seems to ponder the questions and eventually accepts the offer. Minutes later Kakashi appears with Sakura beside him. "Hey there guys we're not late are we?" Shido just looks at him signals him to follow. "Not really Kakashi I knew you were going to be two hours late so I just took my time getting up and cooking before you got here, but since you're here let's go to the training room." Shido and Kakashi are followed by the others and once they get to the room/field they stand off to the side while Hikari unseals a mic from a scroll and her smile becomes sadistic. "Alright everyone it's me Kira here as your commentator for this spar." Sakura just looks confused as the others get comfortable while Kira is looking at the field. Anko suddenly snaps her out of her confusion and gets her to stop gaping. "Now then we have Kakashi Hatake, The Copy Ninja on one side and on the other side we have Shido Uchiha, The Flame Dragon. Now then both ninja are ready and are about to start. Here we go; the first punch goes to Shido who sends a fierce uppercut to Kakashi who barely dodges. Kakashi retaliates with a sudden kick to Shido's temple, and oh what's this Shido suddenly drops and knees Kakashi in the gut. Did you see that imouto-chan, because I sure did and look at Kakashi's face full of surprise. Looks like they're about to start throwing out some ninjutsu." Meanwhile a shadow clone of Shido was doing the dishes when someone knocks on the front door. "Huh, I wonder who that could be." When he opens the door he sees the other members of team Gai at the door. "Well hello there, can I help you with something?" Tenten being the most level headed and normal of her team speaks up. "Why yes you can. We were wondering if you have seen our teammate, Neji, around here?" Shadow clone Shido ponders for a bit then suddenly speaks up. "Yeah I've seen him. Come on in I'll show you to where he is as soon as I'm done with these dishes, by the way the names Shido." Team Gai walks in and follows shadow clone Shido past the dining room and into the kitchen where he asked them to wait in the dining room. Once he finished the dishes he motions them to follow him to the training room, although he fails to notice that Gai had picked up a bowl and started eating. They get to the room where they hear an explosion come from the other side. Tenten speaks up after the hearing that and shakily looks at the shadow clone. "Excuse me Shido-san, but what was that explosion caused by just now? Oh, that was the real me sparring against Kaka-sensei. It looks like they started using jutsu." The clone opens the door and then poofs away. Team Gai enters, and is surprised by what they see. "YOSH! Those two's Flames of Youth are burning brightly isn't that right Gai-sensei!" Gai nods at Lee and then begins walking. The others notice Team Gai walk up to them as Kakashi and Shido are still going at it. Kakudo looks up and sees that Gai is eating something. He looks closer and see that it's his bowl. "Excuse me Gai-san, but where did you get that bowl? Oh this, I picked it up as we were waiting on being escorted here. I see well then….LET GO OF MY BOWL OF FOOD!" Kakudo suddenly attacks Gai surprising the genin. Sakura freaks out and looks toward Anko seeing what she would do. Anko looks at her and then gets the other genin to listen as well. "Alright maggots listen and listen well. Here's a tip to keep you alive in this house. Never touch any of Kakudo-kun's stuff without his permission, or else he'll attack you. Eight Trigrams Air Palm!" Kakudo launches Gai into Shido and Kakashi's fight. Kira during the entire thing was still commentating. "What's this Might Gai has suddenly been flung into the fight with Kakudo following, as Kakashi and Shido are closing into each other with a Lightning Blade and Chidori. Look at that Imouto-chan! Kakudo just stopped both of them with a Rotation and sent them flying in the other direction." As Shido was sent flying he sees Gai engage Kakudo unfortunately at that same moment Kakashi recovers and launches a fireball at him. 'Look at that fireball its bigger than the standard size but it won't be enough and just like that Shido counters with his own fireball. Looks like Shido is going to use that distraction to charge a Chidori. Whoa! Look at Gai and Kakudo go. Gai is about to use a Leaf Hurricane, but is forced to dodge Shido's Chidori. Kakudo comes up from behind and lands a successful Eight Trigrams 128 Palms and knocks him out of the fight. Kakashi launches forward at great speed, but is intercepted by Kakudo, and Shido comes up and launches a point blank Phoenix Flower. I wonder if Kakashi's mask is fire proof. Oh wait it is, darn I wanted to see his face. Look at them go, those two are really giving Kakashi a run for his money. It would suck to be in his shoes right now." Unnoticed by everyone Team Gai forgot to close the door and didn't notice two shadows at the door.
Next chapter the conclusion of the spar and the identity of the shadows are revealed.
