Hello everyone. And thank you for returning for another chapter of my guest characters list.

Wow, this year honestly went by fast. I mean it felt like just yesterday that I was starting my new job and writing more chapters. But now we're near the end and I have to say this year was… a mixed bag. Still, it could be a lot worse and I am glad you guys stuck by me.

As for how Mortal Kombat is going, I will say it is a surprise to see how Quan Chi plays. Though, I will admit the highly of his reveal trailer was the Peacemaker tease. I won't lie, aside from Takeda and maybe Homelander, Peacemaker is a character I am most interested in seeing. Let's hope we get a second season for his show since it left off with a cliffhanger.

Last time, we saw the last son of Mars battle the Kombat cast. Now, we get to see one of the most popular characters in the Naruto series make his debut.

Ladies and gentlemen… Kakashi Hatake.

Kameo fighter: Might Guy.

If character gets knocked back: Kakashi is sent flying back before exploding in a puff of smoke, revealing it to be a log. The real Kakashi stomps on the log before taking out a kunai, spinning it in his hand.

If character knocks the opponent back: Kakashi pushes the opponent back before delivering a jump kick, sending them away. Once the opponent finishes their intro, Kakashi finishes reading Icha Icha before closing the book.

Kameo fighter: Guy does several stretches before getting in a fighting stance, giving a bright grin that shines his teeth.

Vs Ashrah

Kakashi: To be honest, I've never fought an actual demon before.

Ashrah: Then allow me to satisfy your curiosity.

2nd

Kakashi: Does your kris sense any more evil in Sasuke?

Ashrah: At the moment, no. But do keep a close eye on him.

3rd

Ashrah: Your leaf has much darkness in it.

Kakashi: The Hokage and I are making sure nothing comes of it.

4th

Ashrah: Are you sure your village would welcome me?

Kakashi: Konoha has gotten better over the years.

Vs Baraka

Kakashi: The Tarkatans don't deserve to suffer.

Baraka: It seems even the gods have forsaken us.

2nd

Kakashi: If you'd like, I can help you control your urges.

Baraka: That is only a temporary cure.

3rd

Baraka: Whispers tell me your village is Shao's next target.

Kakashi: Thank you for the warning, Baraka.

4th

Baraka: The one called Orochimaru wishes to test us.

Kakashi: As odd as he may seem, he has proven himself.

Vs General Shao

Kakashi: Warmongers like you are the reason good people suffer.

General Shao: Only the strong should survive. Weaklings deserve to perish.

2nd

Kakashi: Don't trust the Akatsuki.

General Shao: Is that fear in your voice, Kakashi?

3rd

General Shao: You could have been a great general yourself.

Kakashi: I won't allow children to be used for war.

4th

General Shao: Danzo's use of the Sharingan interests me.

Kakashi: You'll never have them, Shao.

Vs Geras

Kakashi: Is there a timeline where Obito and Rin live?

Geras: Time has endless possibilities.

2nd

Kakashi: I can only imagine how much of a strain it is to care for the Hourglass.

Geras: It is a task I take seriously, Kakashi.

3rd

Geras: Minato Uzumaki would be proud of you.

Kakashi: I did my best. But it still feels like I'm failing him and Naruto.

4th

Geras: A deity is coming to Konoha. You must prepare.

Kakashi: Is it Kaguya? Or someone much worse?

Vs Havik

Kakashi: Are you one of Orochimaru's experiments?

Havik: I am the liberator for all the oppressed!

2nd

Kakashi: We can help your condition if you only calm down.

Havik: And become a weapon for the Leaf? Never!

3rd

Havik: The Jinchuriki will be released from their shackles!

Kakashi: I won't allow the village to be destroyed again.

4th

Havik: Join me and we will make those who have used you suffer!

Kakashi: Had I not suffered, I wouldn't have become the man I am today.

Vs Johnny Cage

Kakashi: Many in Konoha feel Ninja Mime is inaccurate.

Johnny: Have they never heard of creative storytelling?

2nd

Kakashi: A film about me? I don't know, Johnny…

Johnny: You've got like a million stories! I bet a lot of people would wanna know.

3rd

Johnny: Come on. How hard can ninja magic be?

Kakashi: Chakra isn't magic. And I highly doubt you are capable of using Jutsu.

4th

Johnny: If being a ninja doesn't work out, I could always use a co-star.

Kakashi: Hehehe. I'm not much of an actor, Johnny.

Vs Kakashi Hatake

Kakashi: Are Rin and Obito alive in your timeline?

Kakashi: Rin and Obito? Who are they?

2nd

Kakashi: You joined the Akatsuki?!

Kakashi: They showed me just how evil Konoha really is.

3rd

Kakashi: You were given both of Obito's eyes?

Kakashi: Only after he sacrificed himself against Kaguya.

4th

Kakashi: How do I know you aren't just a clone?

Kakashi: Are you a fan of Ichi Ichi as well?

Vs Kenshi Takahashi

Kakashi: A samurai, just like Mifune.

Kenshi: Does he have a magic sword as well?

2nd

Kakashi: Naruto says the O.I.A can come to Konoha as long as there aren't any problems.

Kenshi: Me and Jax won't cause trouble.

3rd

Kenshi: I'd be careful around Shang Tsung if I were you.

Kakashi: There are rumors he is trying to recruit Orochimaru.

4th

Kenshi: I can sense some souls of the Uchiha in Sento.

Kakashi: Hopefully, they wouldn't have a problem with me.

Vs Kitana

Kakashi: Greetings, your highness.

Kitana: Good to know some Earthrealmers have manners.

2nd

Kakashi: If you'd like, I can teach you wind Jutsu.

Kitana: As long as you teach me the Rasengan, I will consider it.

3rd

Kitana: I am curious what you look like without a mask.

Kakashi: Would you believe me if I said I had another mask underneath?

4th

Kitana: Your skills match that of Kuai Liang and Tomas.

Kakashi: We are taught how to fight at a young age.

Vs Kung Lao

Kakashi: Here's the test. Grab my bells and you pass.

Kung Lao: Is this a joke? Because I'm not laughing.

2nd

Kakashi: You remind me a lot of Naruto when he was young.

Kung Lao: Which means I will be destined for great things.

3rd

Kung Lao: There's this man with a bowl haircut telling me to train with him. It's annoying.

Kakashi: Hahaha. That's Guy for you. He's a good mentor.

4th

Kung Lao: You fought an immortal before?!

Kakashi: Shikamaru ended up burying him.

Vs Li Mei

Kakashi: We could use more honest police like you in Konoha.

Li Mei: Perhaps a visit is in order.

2nd

Kakashi: Your compassion reminds me of Rin.

Li Mei: A shame she could not live to reach her full potential.

3rd

Li Mei: Why allow Sasuke Uchiha to live after what he attempted to do?

Kakashi: As flawed as he is, he is my student.

4th

Li Mei: This Jutsu. Can it be taught?

Kakashi: If you're willing to learn, but it won't be easy.

Vs Liu Kang

Kakashi: Our students are really something, aren't they?

Liu Kang: They have a promising future ahead of them.

2nd

Kakashi: Have you lost comrades before?

Liu Kang: Many times. And it is never easy.

3rd

Liu Kang: I see a bright future ahead of you, Kakashi Hatake.

Kakashi: Coming from you, that's an honor.

4th

Liu Kang: I fear others like Kaguya will arrive for vengeance.

Kakashi: Then I'll need to warn Naruto so that we are ready.

Vs Martian Manhunter

Kakashi: I'm sorry you had to suffer so much.

Martian Manhunter: You seemed to have suffered just as much as me.

2nd

Kakashi: I can help teach your niece how to control herself.

Martian Manhunter: I fear she may be too much for even you, Kakashi.

3rd

Martin Manhunter: Were the ninjas in Konoha Bruce's tutors?

Kakashi: Perhaps. It would explain how skilled he is.

4th

Martian Manhunter: Your eye allows you to mimic one's movements?

Kakashi: I can even copy Jutsu if they use it against me.

Vs Mileena

Kakashi: Our first exercise. Taking these bells away from me.

Mileena: Is this training or playtime, Hatake?

2nd

Kakashi: And here I thought Kisame had sharp teeth.

Mileena: Don't mock my illness, Kakashi!

3rd

Mileena: I was told you stepped down as leader of your people.

Kakashi: There was someone far more suited than I was.

4th

Mileena: Can your village help save those affected by Tarkat?

Kakashi: Orochimaru and Tsunade can take a look. But I can't promise anything.

Vs Nitara

Kakashi: I've heard of blood jutsu, but this is ridiculous.

Nitara: Don't be scared. I won't hurt you.

2nd

Kakashi: Please tell me you aren't one of Orochimaru's old test subjects.

Nitara: Vaternias existed long before your little village was founded.

3rd

Nitara: Give me the secret scrolls and I will let you live to be food.

Kakashi: No offense, but you really need to work on your negotiation skills.

4th

Nitara: So much food, wasted on your pointless war.

Kakashi: A lot of my friends died. Don't insult them.

Vs Omni-Man

Kakashi: You don't need to be Thragg's weapon, Nolan. You can be-

Omni-Man: Don't even bother, you white haired freak.

2nd

Kakashi: First the Guardians. Then your own son? When does the bloodshed end?

Omni-Man: When idiots with hero complexes open their fucking eyes.

3rd

Omni-Man: What the Viltrum Empire is doing will save the universe.

Kakashi: I've heard madmen try to justify genocide before. I won't listen.

4th

Omni-Man: The kid with the red and purple eyes was easy. So was the blonde.

Kakashi: As their teacher, I'll avenge them.

Vs Quan Chi

Kakashi: Looking at you makes me glad Orochimaru is an ally.

Quan Chi: How do you know he isn't playing a trick?

2nd

Kakashi: Whose souls do you have?

Quan Chi: Your father calls to you. Hahahaha!

3rd

Quan Chi: The Sealing Jutsu. How do I learn it?

Kakashi: Like I would allow you to use the 3rd's technique!

4th

Quan Chi: Assist me and I will bring back anyone you've lost.

Kakashi: Don't tempt me, Quan Chi.

Vs Raiden

Kakashi: Gotta admit, I might pass down my jutsu to you.

Raiden: I'd be honored to learn from you.

2nd

Kakashi: Liu Kang was right to choose you as his Champion.

Raiden: And I will continue to work hard to prove he made the right choice.

3rd

Raiden: You must be proud of your students.

Kakashi: They've all grown up. Well… mostly.

4th

Raiden: What is this 'Sexy Jutsu' I've been hearing about?

Kakashi: It'd be best if you DIDN'T know, Raiden. Trust me.

Vs Rain

Kakashi: If you wish to make amends, then you need to surrender.

Rain: And allow them to take my head? Never.

2nd

Kakashi: You know water Jutsu as well?

Rain: I recently visited the land of the Mist. They were an interesting bunch.

3rd

Rain: Sasuke Uchiha and Orochimaru. Why allow them to live?

Kakashi: Because there is good in them. Just like there's good in you.

4th

Rain: You owe the Leaf nothing after the pain its leaders have caused you.

Kakashi: It is my home and I will die to protect it.

Vs Reiko

Kakashi: I actually admire your loyalty, even if it's towards Shao.

Reiko: He will lead Outworld to a better tomorrow.

2nd

Kakashi: How is it you took down our recon team?

Reiko: They didn't have the strength the general employs!

3rd

Reiko: There are many in Konoha who would be worthy allies.

Kakashi: But none would join you or Shao on your conquest.

4th

Reiko: Why bother staying with the Leaf after they used you?

Kakashi: Because there are still good people there.

Vs Reptile

Kakashi: You didn't deserve to be used by Shang Tsung.

Reptile: I can only hope to redeem myself. For my family.

2nd

Kakashi: You'd be an excellent ninja in Konoha.

Reptile: That is until the villagers see my true form.

3rd

Reptile: Why were the Uchiha slaughtered?

Kakashi: The leaders in Konoha saw them as a threat. But they went too far.

4th

Reptile: You can summon talking animals?

Kakashi: Allow me to introduce you to Pakkun. You'll like him.

Vs Scorpion

Kakashi: Even though he freezes his heart, there might still be a piece of the brother you love in Bi-Han.

Scorpion: Then I will need to thaw it out.

2nd

Kakashi: You know, I'm something of a fire user myself.

Scorpion: Let us see who burns hotter.

3rd

Scorpion: Sasuke has mentioned you before.

Kakashi: Hehehe. My student sure is popular.

4th

Scorpion: Will Konoha treat the Shirai Ryu as well as they did the Uchiha?

Kakashi: The Hokage would never allow another genocide to happen.

Vs Shang Tsung

Kakashi: Your evil knows no bounds.

Shang Tsung: Not evil. Just curiosity.

2nd

Kakashi: How many ninja did you kidnap?!

Shang Tsung: Enough to overthrow your weak village.

3rd

Shang Tsung: That eye would be a valuable addition to my collection.

Kakashi: You sound just like Danzo.

4th

Shang Tsung: Orochimaru's notes have been very useful.

Kakashi: After you're dealt with, I'll burn it all.

Vs Sindel

Kakashi: I understand where you come from, but that doesn't mean your treatment of the Tarkatans was right.

Sindel: Had I allowed them to enter Edinia, we would all be infected.

2nd

Kakashi: The love you have for your daughters reminds me of my sensei and his wife.

Sindel: He sounds like a wise leader. My condolences.

3rd

Sindel: My sources call you the 'Copycat' ninja. Is this true?

Kakashi: Only one way to find out, Empress.

4th

Sindel: Your eyes remind me of Jerrek.

Kakashi: I'm sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose someone you love.

Vs Smoke

Kakashi: It seems you failed again, Tomas.

Smoke: How were Naruto and Sakura able to pass your test?!

2nd

Kakashi: I noticed your sparring session with Lee.

Smoke: He's an odd one, but I respect his determination.

3rd

Smoke: Can anyone become the Hokage?

Kakashi: Only those who have the village's love and respect may earn that title.

4th

Smoke: You copied my technique! Kuai Liang was right!

Kakashi: Now, you can focus on your weak spots and how to cover them.

Vs Sub-Zero

Kakashi: Revenge is an unending thirst. You are a prime example.

Sub-Zero: Talk is cheap, Hatake.

2nd

Kakashi: I was able to see the heart inside Zabuza. You aren't any different.

Sub-Zero: Stop with your peaceful nonsense and fight!

3rd

Sub-Zero: All I am is more ambitious. I have done nothing wrong.

Kakashi: Those who break the rules are scum but those who abandon their comrades are worse then scum.

4th

Sub-Zero: After I kill you, that eye will be mine.

Kakashi: So you can use it to destroy your family? Never.

Vs Tanya

Kakashi: I can see why Mileena speaks highly of you.

Tanya: Nothing will happen to her as long as I draw breath.

2nd

Kakashi: Your attitude reminds me of Sakura.

Tanya: Bring her next time. I would be honored to train with her.

3rd

Tanya: The Umgadi vs the Anbu Black Ops.

Kakashi: That would be quite the battle.

4th

Tanya: Who is this Tenten I keep hearing about?

Kakashi: A ninja I believe you would get along with.

Vs Wolverine

Kakashi: I'm grateful Adamantium doesn't exist in my world. Otherwise, the wars would never end.

Wolverine: Lucky you.

2nd

Kakashi: It seems mutants have suffered the same isolation as Naruto did.

Wolverine: Lucky for both of us, not everyone was an asshole.

3rd

Wolverine: You remind me of a guy that chopped off my head once.

Kakashi: I don't look like a cyborg.

4th

Wolverine: I learned from ninjas, you know.

Kakashi: Then this makes our fight much more interesting.

After Titan saves the character from the evil Kombat kids

Kakashi: Nice work, Kitana.

After Liu Kang's "And they called me the Chosen One" speech

Kakashi: I've dealt with these 'gods' before. We should finish them before they cause more trouble.

Fatal Blow(Sub-Zero): Kakashi activates his Sharingan before he draw a kunai and slashes the opponent in the chest. Guy rushes in and delivers a Dynamic Entry kick on their face, breaking their jaw. He then proceeds to strike them several times before slamming his palm in their stomach, making them stagger. Kakashi uses Lightning Blade and begins striking the opponent several times before turning them around, stabbing his arm through their chest with enough force to destroy their heart.

Victory pose: Kakashi draws out two kunai, coursing lighting through them before doing several swings and kicks, throwing one of them in the process. Guy does several push ups before flipping back on his feet, giving the player a thumbs up.

Fatalities

Kamui(Reiko): Kakashi activates his Sharingan, turning into the Mangekyo Sharingan. He uses Kamui, creating a small vacuum in space. The opponent tries to escape, only for their arm to be caught in the vacuum. They screamed as their arm was forcefully sucked in, followed by their legs, lower half and internal organs. Kakashi deactivated Kamui as the remainder of the opponent's body fell on the floor. They reach out, only for Kakashi to throw a lighting-coated kunai through their skull, splitting their head in half.

Lightning Blade Unleashed(Reptile): Kakashi grabs several kunai, coating them with lightning before tossing them towards the opponent. He quickly uses Kamui, teleporting half of them and causing them to appear on the other side. The opponent was impaled by the kunai, with some of their arms and torso being torn apart. Leaping high in the air, Kakashi uses Lightning Blade in his right arm before lunging towards the opponent, slamming his fist into the opponent's head and tearing through their body. The two halves of the opponent's body fell as Kakashi stood up, holding up what remains of their face.

Kameo fatality(Might Guy)

Asakujaku(Scorpion): Kakashi steps aside as Might Guy walks towards the opponent, activating the Eight Inner Gates. With a battle cry, Guy punches the opponents face so fast, his fists catch on fire, each blow caves the face and torso in. Moving one of his fists a few inches from the opponent's bloody face, Guy jabs it forward, causing the head to explode and the body to fall over.

Ending

"I've seen a lot of wars, ever since I was a Genin. But the war against Kaguya was something else. And it was even strange when a portal suddenly appeared." *Shows Kakashi being sucked into a portal as Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura watched in horror.* "I was so weak from fighting that I couldn't use the Susassnoo to escape. For a moment, I thought I was done for. But what I saw when I woke up shocked me."

*The next scene shows Kakashi waking up in a hospital, with an older woman that looked like a grown up version of Rin healing him.* "It turns out I was brought into another reality. One where I died instead of Obito. Because of that, Rin was never killed. In fact, she was able to control the Three Tails and Obito was even appointed Hokage. It was like I was looking into the afterlife. Imagine her reaction when I told her what happened in my reality."

*The final scene shows Kakashi, with Rin and Hokage Obito opening their own portal, seeing a vision of Naruto and Sasuke fighting Kaguya.* "As much as I wanted to enjoy seeing the friends I lost, I knew I needed to go back home and help stop Kaguya. Fortunately, this world's technology was so advanced that they had something called a Warp Gate. Together, we'd be able to stop Kaguya and make Minato and Kushina proud. They may not be the Rin and Obito I know, but it's something…"

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I will admit there were times I felt a bit off with Kakashi since it has been a while since I watched Naruto. But maybe in the future, we'll have another character.

This is my last chapter update for the year, so I hope you guys have a great new years and I will see you in 2024.

Next time: Corvo Attano.
