Koushin: Konoha’s Dragonborn[Completed]

“Oh no!” Naruto exclaimed all of a sudden as we were training. It was our last week of the mission, and it didn’t look like Gato would come anytime soon. The bridge was about to be completed and our training was coming to an end. Hinata almost mastered the Elemental Chakra Taijutsu while Naruto could form Rasengan with a clone but I forbade him to use a clone and he had to get used to using it on his own.

“What happened?” I asked calmly. Probably Gato arrived and the clone following Kakashi dispelled itself to let Naruto know what was happening. We were close to the bridge anyway. I was waiting for this.

“E-enemy.” Naruto stuttered.

“Calm down. They are probably cannon fodders.” I answered as I stretched lazily.

“The hell are you talking about?” Naruto exclaimed in distress. “Two enemies in black cloaks with red clouds, like Itachi’s, arrived and they are battling against Kakashi. Sensei ordered us to run away as soon as possible.”

“Fuck!” I shouted as I dashed towards the bridge. Naruto and Hinata were following but I was too fast and I couldn’t wait. “Why? Akatsuki had nothing to do with this mission. Have I fucked things too much?”

I formed a clone and sent it to Naruto’s side. “Naruto, what did the enemies look like? Not the clothes, face, and other distinct features.”

“Um, one of them looked like a mummy. Up to chin and ears covered by bandages, red tattoo over his lower face.” Naruto described. “And a really tall man, even taller than Kakashi’ with short brown hair and a mustache. Broad nose, slightly wrinkled face, and small black eyes? Maybe.”

“Okay, you and Hinata stay away from cloaked guys and protect Tazuna.” The clone said and dispelled itself.

“The fuck?” I exclaimed as the information filled my head. The first one is probably Juzo. Itachi’s first partner was later killed by the Fourth Mizukage. When I saw the big-ass sword Zabuza was using, I thought it was the same in the Anime. But obviously not.

And the second one sounds like Kakuzu’s partner. He wasn’t even named. I know nothing about him. But he is a Jounin level opponent for sure.”

I arrived at the bridge in a few minutes and looked at the scene in horror. Kakashi was wounded, and one of his arms was critically injured. On the other side, two men with cloaks were standing. One of them, Juzo, was carrying a katana. Next to him was the man with small eyes. Kakuzu’s supposed partner.

Juzo was Itachi’s partner, where is Itachi? Are Kakuzu and Itachi around here too?

“Sensei, leave the mummy guy to me,” I shouted as I arrived with a lightning flicker. Juzo was supposed to die in his battle against Mizukage. Even if he isn’t dead, he must have been injured badly. He probably has half of his strength.

“Get out of here. It is an order!” Kakashi said with a no-bullshit voice but I ignored.

“No can do,” I smirked as I looked at Juzo and threw a Kunai. He dodge as if it was nothing.

“You are from Kiri right?” I asked.

“I was.” He smirked.

“I have this big ass sword I stole from Zabuza. Want it?” I asked. I knew he did. It was his sword before, it was a great allure to him. Without waiting I dashed away.

“Kous—” Kakashi wanted to follow but was stopped by the small-eyed man.

“Let them solve their own battle.” The man answered with an evil grin. “You are my hunt.”

Kakashi looked devastated but there was nothing he could do. He decided to handle the enemy as quickly as possible, then go and help his students.

“Then let’s start.” He said and formed Chidori without a seal. His Sharingan beamed as he ran towards the man, but as an Akatsuki member, he wasn’t weak either. He dodged the attack and formed a wind blade with his arm. He could use wind like an extension of his body. That was how he injured Kakashi in the first place.

“Water Mist Jutsu,” Kakashi shouted as mist covered his form. When the man dispelled the mist with a great wind Jutsu, Kakashi was already behind him. His hand covered with Chidori was aiming at the man’s heart.

The man turned around and grabbed Kakashi’s hand with great finesse, and the wind ball in his arm dispelled Chidori.

“You lost.” He smirked but in the next second, he was shocked. Literally. The Kakashi he was holding turned into lightning and stunned him. The real Kakashi appeared behind the man with Rasengan twirling in his hand.

“Are you sure?” Kakashi asked as he attacked.

“Where are you running to, you brat?” Juzo shouted from behind. But I didn’t stop. I am not delusional. I know I can’t beat a Jounin level Shinobi no matter how weakened they are. I wanted to separate them and chose Juzo because of the elemental advantage, but he is still above my grade.

“Where is the sword? Give it to me and I will let you go.” He shouted again.

“I sealed it on a seal with a password only I can open. If I am dead, it will simply vanish.” I shouted back. Of course, I was bullshitting. There wasn’t such a thing, but I hoped Juzo would buy it.

“As if there is such a seal.” Unfortunately, he didn’t. I mean there is such a seal, but if he doesn’t know it, I can’t trick him. “Now, give it to me.”

“As if I would give it to you. Without that sword, you are just a regular Jounin.” I taunted as I continued to run.

“Why you little shit!” He shouted as he increased his speed. He was playing with me before now he was a lot faster. Even with my Lightning Flicker, I couldn’t outrun him. “You will regret it!”

As his two hands were about to catch me, I jumped into the air, parallel to the ground. My two feet blazing with fire, kicked his open palms. Where they meet, an explosion born and launched me away from him.

“You slippery slug!” He clenched his fists and ran even faster but I was getting further and further away with Fire Flicker. Each step was akin to a rocket, exploding with a great force. It was wearing my body down but it was taking me further and further away.

But all of a sudden, a tsunami formed and covered my body. In the next second, I was nowhere to be seen. “A clone?” Juzo looked in disbelief as he turned back in anger.

***

“When?” Asked Kakashi in terror. After his lightning clone dissipated and he appeared behind the small-eyed man with Rasengan, the man dissipated into a water clone as well. The original man appeared behind Kakashi with Kunai aiming at the latter's heart.

“You are not the only one who made use of the mist. It was a dumb move, Kakashi of the Sharingan. Mist blocks that cursed eye, doesn’t it? Hehe.” Asked the man with a grin. “Now you die, and I will go to kill your little Genins as well. Gato should have killed the bridge builder by now. You have lost! Konoha has lost, HAHA—”

“Shut the fuck up.” A voice cut the laughter as a Kunai plunged deep into a small-eyed man’s gut from behind. Kakashi didn’t miss the opportunity and turned to kill the man in less than a second. The man looked at his back in disbelief. In his small mind, he couldn’t comprehend how a Genin appeared behind him without him knowing it.

“You want to know right?” Koushin asked with a devilish grin. Man’s eyes were begging. Begging to know.

“Too bad, you will die without knowing it.” The small Genin finished as the man died.

“You motherfucker!” A roar reverberated as Juzo came back, but it was too late. Its partner had already died. “You will pay!”

“Heh, a wounded dog, ran away to lick his wounds, barking loudly. Where is your famous sword?” Koushin asked. Kakashi’s eyes glinted as he looked at the duo, but didn’t say anything.

“Learned anything?” He only asked.

“Suiton main. Above Jounin Chakra Level. Without a sword, he is a regular Jounin Level and speed is average.” Koushin briefed and started to heal his Sensei.

“How about plan C?” Kakashi asked while soaked in the comforting itch growing on his arm.

“How about plan double C?” Koushin asked with a grin. Kakashi copied him and grinned as well. “Let’s go then.”
