[a/n: just watched Snow country movie. Oh lol, I knew I shouldn't just rely on just vague memories of fanfics lmao. Sasuke was cool tho. Man, back when he was the cool guy before he went full emo.]

Intermission 3

Sasuke the Movie: Dude, Kakashi is missing!

.

.

.

Squad Kakashi (Sakura excluded) is hot on pursuit of the their client trail.

Kakashi had to wonder. The Snow-nin had done a good job infiltrating their camp and kidnap Fujikaze Yukie with none of them the wiser.

So why are they getting sloppy now?

Escaping through the snow tunnel would have covered up their scent, but instead the Snow-nin had choose to escape on surface, leaving behind a scent trail.

Kidnapping Fujikaze Yukie, or rather Kazahana Koyuki is to be expected. This mission had been disguised as a C rank instead of their actual A~S Rank. The mission is to bring Princess Koyuki back to the her homeland and reclaim her throne. By installing ourselves as an ally, we would be opening relations to share their technology.

And by sharing, Konoha means they want to take the Chakra Armor technology for themselves.

Of course, the current Doto regime has a plan of their own. Doto is an ambitious political leader that seeks to abolish the Snow Country's isolationist policy and become a global player. They may become a threat to the fragile status quo that the 5 Great Villages currently maintaining.

Later thoughts. I see them in sight now.

Pakkun being a rather poor combatant return back to the Beast Realm so as to not get in the way of the battle.

Sasuke then weave handseals and open the battle with a Great Fireball.

The three Snow nin split before the fireball hit ground and steam exploded as snow was vaporized by the intense heat. Mizore who is carrying Koyuki on his back run forward while Fubuki and Nadare stays to face Team Kakashi.

"Naruto, go get Koyuki!", Kakashi ordered.

"Koyuki who?!", Naruto asked back in confusion.

"I mean Yukie! Just hurry now! We'll discuss it later!"

Naruto then spawned a dozen clones and break pass the Snow nin that was caught of guard by the clones.

"Leave him be, Fubuki. We have more important matters to attend to.", Nadare orders Fubuki.

"Alright boss. I'll keep it to plan then."

Fubuki then rushed forward to Sasuke, weaving handseals rapidly.

"Hyoton: Swallow Storm!"

A mass of swallows made out of snow emerged from the snow and hit Sasuke with the mass of their flock. Then, Fubuki who had already deployed her batwing gadget grabbed Sasuke and caught him as she fly far away from Nadare and Kakashi.

Kakashi is calm as ever, his lone Sharingan out in the view. He looks toward Sasuke that had disappeared over the mountain and then he faces Roga Nadare.

"What are you planning?", Kakashi asked, his hand at the ready at the sealed White Fang, ready to unleash its true form.

"Oh Kakashi, my old nemesis. While I'd like to make this a match to see which of us is superior, I'm afraid that this time I have to give up on that and focus on my mission."

"And what mission is that?"

"to capture you obviously, senpai!"

Kakashi turn his head so fast that he may had whiplashed his own neck if it weren't got his superhuman constitution. There, uphill is a figure he thought he would never seen again.

Black wild hair.

And red eyes with 3 tomoe revolves within the iris.

The genius Uchiha famed for his mastery of the Shunshin no Jutsu.

"Uchiha Shisui?", Kakashi mutters his name.

"In the flesh!", Shisui mockingly spread his arms in a welcoming gesture as he greets his old ANBU captain.

"But how?! I saw your dead body by myself! You died!"

"Oh Kakashi,", Shisui chuckles. "Obviously I faked it."

Then, in the blink of an eye, Shisui is already infront of Kakashi, sending a kick toward his head.

Kakashi dodged it with a backflip, but then Nadare hit him by the side with Hyoton: Snow Leopard Maw.

The head of the leopard with kakashi bitten between its maw then send him crashing to a rock, but Kakashi recovered quickly. He dodged out of the way as Hyoton: Snowball Barrage and Katon: Great Fireball hit the spot of his crash.

Kakashi checked his sides. the jounin vest protected his body from being pierced by the ice fangs of Snow Leopard Maw, but his ribs were cracked from the bite force. He drew out his sword and,

"Cleave the wi-!!" "Ninpou: Banshee Scream"

Kakashi clutched his ears as Shisui interrupted the White Fang 's release command with Banshee Scream. Then, Nadare add to the mix a Hyoton: Narwhal Slam and a huge narwhal of snow emerged from the snow.

As the huge narwhal crash into the hillside, Kakashi rushed to get out of the avalanche. However, Shisui appears out of nowhere and deliver him a kick to the temple.

"Gahkk!!", Kakashi let out a scream of pain as Shisui continues to beat him up in a fast barrage of Taijutsu.

"You're out of practice, Kakashi! Didn't it embarrassed you that your junior beating you up like this?!"

Shisui delivers an uppercut punch and send him to the air.

"Shunshin: 1000 Flicker Fist!"

Then, true to his name as Shisui the Teleporter, in the span of half a minute Kakashi was trapped in a barrage of 1000 punches as Shisui Flickered around him in insane speed. Bones battered, skin bruises, flesh pounded. All Kakashi could do is flaring as much chakra as he could to dampen the full impact of the 1000 punches per 30 seconds combo from Shisui.

Then, with a spinning kick, Shisui sent Kakashi down, impacting the compacted snow like a meteor. The impact triggered another avalanche but Nadare weaved Hyoton: Igloo Defense and shieldd everyone from being buried by the avalanche.

In the darkness of the igloo, Shisui's Sharingan glows faintly. Kakashi weakly try tonreach for his sword but Shisui kicked it away.

"Why?", Kakashi weakly mutters.

"Sorry, senpai. I have no hard feelings for you but you are the strongest among Makoto Hotaru's little circle of friends."

Makoto?? What does he has anything to do with this?

"Confused, aren't you, Kakashi? Well, to cut it short, I have a grudge with Makoto and I want to use him to make him feel pain. Makoto Hotaru, forced to face one of his friends and forced to either kill him or die. Doesn't that make a good plot thread?"

What??

"Anyway, enough chit chat, Kakashi. Let's get this over with."

The last thing Kakashi saw is a pair of red iris with the pattern of black spiraling shuriken.

))))))))))))))

I hate flying bastards!

Right now Sasuke had really regret to not opt to use firearms like Hotaru did. He may be highly skilled at Shurikenjutsu but trying to hit a flying opponent in the sky while fighting against gravity is not ideal, especially since Sasuke had yet to be capable to throw shuriken and kunai at supersonic speed.

Having a gun like Hotaru would jave made his problem so much simpler.

When they get past the mountain, Sasuke had managed to break away from her and fall into a ravine. As he tried to escape to regroup back with Kakashi, Fubuki would bombard him from above, preventing his escape.

But she doesn't try to take me out. Why?

Then, they saw a flare rise to the air and exploded, leaving behind a trail of red smoke.

"Well, it has been a blast, boy, but we will have to cut our playtime short."

"Wait!!"

Sensing something bad is going on, Sasuke tries to follow her. However Fubuki weaved Hyoton: Ice Wall and a wide and tall wall of ice blocks his way. Sasuke tried to climb it, but the chakra of the Ice Wall repelled his from sticking to it.

"Go back to your camp, Uchiha Sasuke, and ask for backup. Specifically ask for Makoto Hotaru. Else, well, we have spies in Konoha and you wouldn't us to learn that Lil Makoto is still happily drawing his stupid porn by the time your Hokage send out his reinforcement. Imagine what will happen if Lord Kurama learns that his grandson dies in cold tundra."

Then, Fubuki took off and fly away.

We've been had!

They split them up in order to capture Naruto as hostage! Kidnapping Yukie was just pretext to force them to split. Who knows what happened 5o Kakashi too!

Sasuke then run back toward camp. He needs to send out the message fast.

Sorry for getting you involved, Hotaru. But if there's anyone that can turn this around, it would be you.

Sasuke ran as fast as he could, dire to send the messenger hawk back to Konoha.

)))))One Week Later)))))

(((Makoto Hotaru)))

"Arrrghhhhh!!!"

"Somebody save me!!!"

"what the hell is that?! Aaaaaa!!!"

Me and Squad Kurenai have arrived at the port to take a ship to sail toward Snow Country, but somehow when we arrive the port town is being invaded by a horde of mutated chimeric monsters.

Not wanting to deal with this bullshit, I just enter the nearby inn and order a glass of cold water. Yea, let Squad Kurenai deal with that bullshit. Kiba turns into a werewolf and now tear the monsters apart with the rest of the team back him up. Together, they make a quick work at getting rid of the monsters.

"Hey! You're a Konoha ninja like Sakura!"

A random snotty brat of a boy randomly points toward me.

"a ninja with blue cap and hoodie and grey tactical armor. You must be Makoto Hotaru, right? Sakura talks about you!"

"Yep, that's me.", I drink the cold water and ask the bartender for more.

"She says that you are an inspiration for civilianborn Ninjas like her. You bravely fight against the tyranny of the clan system and surpassed even the strongest clan kid of your batch! Even if you gave her a hard wake up call, she didn't mind! Because of you, she has realized the error of her ways and decide to be awesome like you!"

"Gee, didn't know Sakura thought of me that highly,", then again, canon Sakura obsessively chase after Sasuke despite he was clearly bad news and tried to kill her. Sakura has a terrible sense in judging character. "How did you know about Sakura anyway?"

"oh oh!", the brat jumped excitedly. "Sakura was left behind by her team over 2 weeks ago, but before she boarded another boat, she found a girl that got turned into a mermaid! Her name was Isaribi! Now, together they try to take out a secret lab that Orochimaru made which was then given control to the mad scientist Amachi! Now, Amachi had send his horde of mutant fish-mammal-reptile chimeras to take out Sakura and take back Isaribi, but when she heard your team was coming, she believes that you will keep the town safe while Sakura goes to take out Amachi and save Isaribi!"

…..

……..

…………….

Motherfucker, I become a cameo in Sakura's Offscreen Adventures! Damnit Sakura! Your thing is supposed to happen out of my way! Not making my problem worse!

Also why is this kid talks like a very convenient exposition machine?

"Ok kid. Now how about we play UNO while my team save your town?"

"Really? Yay!! By the way I didn't live here. I'm traveling with my awesome dad, Raiga!"

Oh. Okay.

"By the way kid, what's your name?"

"oh me? I'm Ranmaru!"

Ranmaru? Raiga?

Ehh, doesn't ring any bell. Probably not important.

.

(((AN)))

I did not watch Raiga filler. And they're just a cameo here for now. I figure I may as well use a filler character for quick exposition dump instead of rando NPC
