Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

The disappearance of the Snake Hermit left Lee on his knees, his red aura fading as his body began to give way under the immense pressure of the eighth gate.

He felt his strength leaving him, his breath becoming rough and irregular. As his consciousness faded, he weakly murmured:

"Hinata... I'll bring you back."

The cries of the Konoha ninjas arriving on the scene were the last thing he heard before collapsing into unconsciousness.

***

The hermit wasn't the only one present, and Kakashi, who had arrived on the scene, knew it. He quickly teleported the enemy into the Kamui dimension. He had to prevent more people from becoming victims of their battles.

In the vast, dark expanse of the Kamui dimension, silence reigned, broken only by Kakashi's heavy breaths. He faced the Slug Hermit, an imposing figure masked with a Shinigami face. Her presence radiated overwhelming power, and her eyes behind the mask seemed to pierce through Kakashi like sharpened blades.

"You dared to bring me into your dimension?" the Slug Hermit said in a soft, almost mocking voice. "It's bold, Kakashi Hatake. But this terrain won't save you."

Kakashi didn't respond immediately, his two Sharingan glowing intensely. He knew his limits. With the double Sharingan, his power was immense, but his endurance was limited. Yet, he had no choice. The Slug Hermit had to be stopped here, before she ravaged Konoha.

Kakashi attacked first, appearing behind her with blinding speed, his Raikiri crackling in his hand. Electricity surged through the air as he aimed for the hermit's back.

But just as he was about to strike, a crystal wall erupted from the ground, deflecting his attack. The hermit turned her head slightly.

With a fluid motion, she swept her hand through the air, and shards of crystal burst forth, rushing towards Kakashi like a rain of blades. Kakashi became intangible just in time, letting the crystals pass through his body before reappearing at a distance.

"She masters both Mokuton and Crystal... this is going to be complicated," he murmured to himself.

The Slug Hermit raised her arms, and massive roots emerged from the ground of the dimension, rushing towards Kakashi with terrifying speed.

Kakashi dodged with agility, moving between the roots while launching chakra-infused lightning projectiles. But every time he seemed to gain an advantage, the hermit instantly regenerated her wounds or formed solid clones to overwhelm him.

One of her clones managed to grab his arm, but Kakashi destroyed it with a Raikiri. Yet, another clone appeared behind him, striking his back with colossal force, sending him crashing against a crystalline wall.

The Slug Hermit formed a gigantic crystal dragon, which roared as it rushed towards Kakashi. He used Kamui to distort space and disintegrate the creature, but the effort left him breathless.

Kakashi got back up, wiping the blood flowing from his mouth.

She entered a new phase of combat, activating her hermit mode. Her skin became slightly shimmering, as if covered in minerals, and her chakra surged, becoming almost suffocating.

Crystals spontaneously sprouted around her, creating a natural armor, while chakra-reinforced roots snaked through the ground, making the terrain even more dangerous.

In the oppressive atmosphere of the Kamui dimension, Kakashi straightened up with difficulty, his two Sharingan glowing with a determined light. He knew he had no other choice: faced with the Slug Hermit's infinite endurance and monstrous regeneration, only overwhelming power could hope to neutralize her, even temporarily.

Kakashi performed a complex hand seal, and a shimmering blue chakra began to concentrate around him. In an instant, a colossal figure emerged from his aura: the Perfect Susanoo.

Kakashi's Susanoo was majestic and intimidating. Its azure blue color shone intensely, almost blinding in the darkness. It possessed two large wings spread out behind it. Its eyes, similar to Kakashi's, pulsed with the energy of the double Sharingan. In its hands, it held two enormous blades, each capable of distorting space with the effect of Kamui. It could also summon giant shurikens infused with the same devastating technique.

The Slug Hermit, slightly impressed, crossed her arms. "A Perfect Susanoo? Impressive, Kakashi."

The Slug Hermit didn't waste any time in revealing her true power. Her chakra intensified, forming an overwhelming aura that made the dimension itself tremble.

She summoned her ultimate jutsu: *The Thousand True Hands*, a monumental formation of colossal arms made of pure chakra. These hands seemed to emerge from the ground, surrounding Kakashi and his Susanoo from all sides.

At the same time, hundreds of crystal dragons rose around her, roaring and ready to attack.

"Let's see how long your Susanoo can withstand my true power," she declared, a carnivorous smile in her voice.

Kakashi made his Susanoo's wings beat, propelling himself with blinding speed. He launched a Kamui shuriken towards the thousand hands, distorting space and destroying several of them. The crystal dragons rushed at him, but his blades distorted the attacks before they could reach his body.
