White chakra erupted around Kakashi. Lightning coiled around his short sword. He lunged.
"This trash dares to challenge my brother?!" Izuna sneered, stepping forward to block—but Naruto-Bōshi yanked him back by the collar.
"Brother?!"
"That's chakra forged by burning his soul. That technique might even hurt your Edo body…!!"
The lightning blade stabbed toward his face. Naruto-Bōshi coolly raised a palm.
—Shinra Tensei!
WHOOSH—!!!
The lightning on Kakashi's blade shattered. His body froze for an instant, then shot backward with a spray of pulverized earth.
"Nani…?!"
His mind raced a second too late.
"That time with Obito… it was attraction. What this Bōshi released… was the opposite. Repulsion? Don't tell me… his eyes are the same as Obito's?!"
He heard Kakashi's muttered shock. His voice darkened. "So that bastard Obito really did transplant my eyes, as Black Zetsu claimed. As for the attraction you mentioned… you mean this?"
Naruto-Bōshi's outstretched hand curled slightly. Pulled back.
—Banshō Ten'in!
SWOOSH—!!!
Kakashi's unsteady footing vanished. An irresistible force yanked him forward.
Almost simultaneously—Kakashi hurled his short sword.
Under the pull of attraction, aiming was pointless. The blade shot straight for Naruto-Bōshi's face.
More dangerous than the sword was the White Hatred Flare chakra coating it.
The moment he threw it, a Raikiri cloaked in the same white fury condensed in Kakashi's other palm.
Naruto-Bōshi's thoughts flashed. He reacted without hesitation. He's fought Obito. Has some experience against these eyes. That sword carries a Flying Thunder God mark. Planning a two-stage attack with the lightning? Hah. He and that other silver-haired hedgehog are the same—opportunists.
Fine. I'll play along a little.
Naruto-Bōshi leaped back.
Kakashi's eyes narrowed. "He saw through me. But I can't hesitate now…"
SWISH—!!!
Kakashi formed a one-handed seal. He flashed into existence beside the flying sword. No Sharingan to guide him. Only the resolve to die together. He unleashed the Soul-Severing Raikiri!!!
Naruto-Bōshi scoffed. "This is your 'mutual destruction'?"
—Shinra Tensei!
BOOM—!!!
The Raikiri in Kakashi's palm shattered. Man and sword were spat out like a bug, tumbling backward across the stone.
Naruto-Bōshi laughed. "Hahahaha! This move really is handy. No wonder Nagato relied on it so much…"
"Damn it… He's toying with me completely." Kakashi lay in a pile of rubble, gasping. He forced his breathing to steady. His mind to cool. "But I confirmed it. The interval between his two repulsions… is five seconds. That's why he took that step back after I threw the sword…"
He used the short sword to push himself up. Pain lanced through his shoulder—nearly dropping him again. "Ugh… If he just pushed me away, it wouldn't be so bad. The technique itself is a powerful physical attack. Two hits, and my bones feel like they're coming apart. One more… and I'll be out of the fight before he even lifts a finger."
He managed a crouch. His gaze, when it found Naruto-Bōshi again, was deathly serious. "No doubt about it. Bōshi… has turned Naruto into a genuine monster."
Watching Kakashi's pathetic state, a mocking smile touched Naruto-Bōshi's lips. "Hatake Kakashi. Your dance doesn't match your ambition. Stand up. You look ridiculous."
"Next time… has to land. Have to use a wide scatter of Flying Thunder God kunai…" Kakashi's legs trembled as he forced himself upright. His hand went for the scroll in his pouch—then froze.
"Hm?"
Naruto-Bōshi's peripheral vision caught it—a flash of blue-green light shot up from the base of the mountain. In the blink of an eye, it was nearly upon them.
Kakashi's spirit surged. "Gai!!!"
Naruto-Bōshi used his small hand to heft the massive fan off his back. With one arm, he swung it at the incoming figure.
Might Gai, charging forward, his eyes wide, didn't even have time to see the enemy behind the fan. His fingers interlocked. He struck forward at point-blank range.
Kakashi's mind screamed: Daytime Tiger at zero distance…!!!
SWOOSH—!!!
But the Tiger… didn't erupt as expected.
"What…?!"
Might Gai's thick eyebrows furrowed deeply.
Through the gap at the fan's edge, Naruto-Bōshi glimpsed the man's face. "Ah… this face. The son of that red steam man?" He should be… an interesting one too.
Naruto-Bōshi grinned. His other hand pressed against the back of the fan. The broad surface faced the stunned Gai.
—Uchiha Return!
SWOOSH—!!
A wave of white pressure distorted the air before Gai's face.
"Don't tell me…!!!"
Gai's expression changed drastically.
BOOOOOOM—!!!
The next instant—a roaring white tiger exploded from the fan. It tore through Tobirama's stone face, screaming down the mountain, and vaporized the Hokage's office tower into dust and debris!!!
The sudden, deafening roar in Konoha's silent night shook the patrolling ANBU from their posts. It ripped sleeping shinobi from their beds.
"What was that noise?!"
"An intruder?!!"
…
On the other side of the mountaintop, a shaken Might Gai addressed his friend. "Kakashi… thanks!"
In that split second, Kakashi had used the Flying Thunder God to snatch Gai away.
"Huff… huff… huff…" Kakashi panted, leaning heavily on Gai. His left arm was simply gone. Blood poured from the ragged stump.
"Your arm…!!"
"Yeah… My Flying Thunder God isn't instant like Lord Fourth's. My reflexes aren't on that level either. Got clipped by the shockwave before the jump. It's fine. Just an arm… You're alive. That's what matters."
The blood flow from his stump began to slow as the White Hatred Flare chakra finally dissipated. Kakashi slumped completely against Gai's shoulder.
Below… the stirred Konoha shinobi poured into the streets. "Intruder!! Where's the intruder?!"
Izuna looked down from his vantage, a sneer twisting his features. "Gathering like flies to rot. The remnants of the Senju are truly hideous."
Naruto-Bōshi nodded. "Indeed."
In the sharp night wind, Might Gai stood immovable. His gaze, fierce as a beast's, locked onto the black-clad, black-haired boy radiating malice. His voice erupted in a deafening roar:
—"Who are you?! Why would you do this to Konoha!!!"
