Return (Part-3)

Kisame raised his sword to finish off Kurotsuchi, but at that moment howls were heard.

Itachi's eyes narrowed on that one.

"..."

"Tch, it's that bastard again", Kisame growled as he watched two dark wolves running in the water and coming at him to bite him.

"Annoying creatures", He raised his sword up above his head and the water sharks came from below the running wolves and swallow them up.

"..."

Okami was on the boat carrying Kurotsuchi and naruto in his arms. Standing in front of Kitsuchi and Iwa's army.

"Y-You are", naruto voice contains great emotions at this moment.

Okami gently smiled, "We will talk Later, brother"

Naruto returned that smiled as he nodded.

Okami lifted his face to see Itachi and Kisame, "Lord Kitsuchi, I know you are here for Naruto. I won't let you, Neither will Jiraiya san, these two are after him as well. Please leave"

"You f*king creep, stop trying to underestimate my father and comrades, you don--", kurotsuchi said in his arm as she struggles to leave his embrace but his strength was too much right now.

"Leave now, they won't wait for you to leave forever"

"you--

"Kurotsuchi we are leaving"

"But dad"

"He is Okami of the leaf, Konoha's S-rank shinobi, Jiraiya the sannin is here as well, Those two are S-ranks as well. Iwa can fight off these guys. But we gravely underestimate the situation and are not prepared to fight four S-ranks"

"Tch", she growled and look at the cold look on Okami who was continuously staring at those two freaks.

"This would have gotten ugly. Thank you for letting us go", Kitsuchi said as Iwa left

As soon as Iwa and their army left. Okami smirked, "Thank you for waiting"

"We have no business with Iwa's army. Give us Kyuubi", Itachi said calmly

"And why do you think I will do that?", Okami asked

"Because you are weak"

"This time, it won't like that time, Itachi, Kisame", He smiled

Kisame grinned, "I would like to see you try brat"

"I will help", Jiraiya came by his side.

"I will help too", Naruto came to his other side

"No, You guys leave"

"No way", Naruto said

"You can't fight these two at once", Jiraiya said

"Naruto. you are on the training journey for only 1 year. You can't fight, not yet. not even with its power. Jiraiya san, don't forget the priority"

"But---

"Do you think; you can leave", Kisame said as he finally charged at Okami.

"..."

Itachi stood at the back. Watching the fight.

"Leave when you see the chance", Okami stood there as his eyes widened.

Okami as of right now is in a league of is own with wind release. With his absolute control, he caused the friction between the molecules.

!!!!!

Boooommmmm

Booommmmmm

Booommmmmm

There was an explosion right on Kisame's face, the explosion was out of thin air. without a hint or warning.

The black explosion cloud covered the shark man.

"..."

"Water Release: water shark bullet", came the voice under the black cloud

A blue shark made full of water came straight at him charging like a bullet.

Okami raised his hand, His mastery of the wind nature release is nearly unmatched in every aspect.

As he removed Oxygen and Hydrogen from the water shark as the shark vaporized.

"..."

Itachi was watching all of this by standing back-line.

"Water Release: A Thousand Feeding Sharks"

One thousand sharks appeared out of the water that replicates a giant wave to swarm down appeared and attacked Okami.

Okami stood there as he raised his arm yet again. Utilizing those ceaseless winds, Okami constantly increases the pressure in Wind molecules.

He releases the pressure in the winds.

Boooommmmmmmm

a huge and immense explosion happened that engulfs and levels all in its path. The thousands of sharks were gone just like that.

The explosion creates waves after waves, as the boat got destroyed due to the explosion.

Naruto and Jiraiya were gone in that chaotic situation.

Itachi saw them leaving yet didn't stop them.

He was more interested in that boy.

"Water shark bullet", Kisame yelled yet again

"It's useless"

Okami raised his arm yet again, removing the hydrogen and oxygen from the wind and the watery shark is vaporized.

"Water Shark bullet bullet"

Another shark came right from the vapors.

"Elemental path"

The water shark is gone.

"Gotcha"

"..."

Kisame was right in front of him swinging that sword right at Okami.

But the sword just cut the empty winds. As Okami disappeared from the place.

"what the---

!!!!

There was a grip on his face.

"My turn to attack"

With his incredible mastery of winds, Okami pushed Kisame back as the shark man felt the irresistible force on him.

*splash*splash*splash*splash

Like a ragged doll, Kisame splashed on the surface of the water.

"My win, Monster of Kiri... Falling Skies"

Okami raised his arm and using his extreme mastery over the winds, the atmospheric pressure around Kisame changes drastically in a matter of seconds.

Making him drown in the water. As Okami created a very deep hole on the water surface.

"Figure out my weakness yet, Itachi Uchiha?", Okami asked, smirking

"..."

"Leave", Itachi said calmly

Okami chuckled, "That calm arrogant face of yours, I just want to hit it once"

"..."

Okami chuckled even more, as he disappeared from his place, and appeared in front of Itachi. And swing his fist on his face.

But, Itachi's body was giving a tremendous amount of heat at the moment. Okami grit his teeth, Itachi was not moving at all, but Okami could barely advance on him.

He jumped back, and grit his teeth, Half of his right arm was burned in that exchange.

"You are very fast, I couldn't react at all", Itachi said calmly

Okami closed his fist. And look at Itachi.

"..."

"You are quite good, Uchiha"

He joined his arms and stood in praying motion

"Violent Beast wave", He waves both of his arms to the side.

A wide blast envelopes everything in the area with a large blast of wind.

Creating the huge turbulence of the water waves. There was no need to dodge it. Because this attack was undodgeable.

"..."

The eternal calm Itachi stood there, as the Huge blast of wind came to him, But he just raised his arm.

"Naidō Waza: Kyōmu"

!!!!

"What the freak"

Okami suddenly backflipped and took a defensive stance.

The winds didn't harm him at all. And it wasn't Susanoo.

"How did you---

"I never thought. I would want to fight once more, giving my all; ever again. Not even till death. Not even against Sasuke..."

"..."

"Amaterasu, Susanoo, Sharingan are the things that I mastered years ago. I wasn't sitting ideally either. I am far stronger than what you or anyone else have seen till now. You wanted to fight me at my full power, right?"

"..."

"I am afraid my condition and sickness won't allow me to. But I won't hold back today. Come at me everything you got. I can only do this for a short period of time anyway. Kumo forces are bound to come here any moment now"

"Okami of the Leaf, I, Itachi Uchiha of the Leaf Challenge you to a duel"

Okami's eyes widened.

"..."

Booommmmmm

Boooommmmm

Booommmmmm

Violent Explosions took place on Itachi's face...

"..."

The Black dust cleared to show Itachi Uchiha, in Susanoo.

"Sage arts"

!!!!

"Amaterasu Celestial Bombs"

Itachi performs Amaterasu with the aid of his Mangekeyo Sharingan. which was made with Natural energy. The black flames simply take the shapes of five gigantic meteors which bombarded on Okami.

"Elemental Path"

Nothing happened.

"..."

This is not made of Chakra. But Natural energy.

Soon, the black flames covering the entire sky, giving rise to a power that would incinerate everything and destroy everything in its pathway by the power of the eternal flames. The speed of these black flame coated meteors is tremendous. As they fell on the water surface.

Okami disappeared. The Black meteorite fell in many places.

Okami appears and disappears. Dodging every attack in a moment's notice.

Taking a moment's notice, he cupped his and released it.

"Dark release: Dark wolf of Emptiness"

A pure dark aura huge wolf with red eyes went and charge at Itachi.

Awoooooooooooooo

"..."

His Susanoo swings its sword at the Huge dark wolf.

"Elemental path"

"..."

Awoooooooooooo

The Susanoo disappeared and the wolf still charges at Itachi. Who jumped back.

"Ametratsu: Eternal burning dragon"

Using his eyes, Itachi summoned a large dark burning dragon as it went towards Okami.

Rooooarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Okami disappeared from Dragon's path, but those Black flames follow him, and they were quite fast. Okami had no choice.

Okami used his elemental path on the dark Burning dragon.

As Itachi seeing this stopped moving and summon his Susanoo once more and swings its sword at the huge dark wolf.

"Dark Wolves"

"..."

A dark wolf appeared over his head, But Itachi just twisted his body and kicked the one falling over his head. More and more wolves appear, Itachi moved his body and flipped a little to dodge the wave of those annoying creatures.

"One with Flames"

Psssssssshhhhh

!!!!

The temperature in the air rose and the water below Itachi's feet just become white smoke.

Awoooooooooo

The wolves started melting before they could touch Itachi or even come near him.

"What are you?"

Pshhhh

Pshhhh

He walks step by step. With every step the water becomes vapor.

"..."

Okami grit his teeth and raised his arm

"Falling skies"

Using his exceptional mastery of winds, Okami expanded the density of the very winds, Increasing the pressure on Itachi. Creating a very powerful gravitational force.

"Naidō Waza: Kyōmu"

!!!!

It's gone, the pressure is entirely gone, It disappeared just like that.

"Sage arts: Flames of Naraku"

Itachi raised his palm to form a sphere of fire.

"..."

"You can not dodge it, no matter where you go, It will cover everything within the radius of 1 km in a mere second, It's not made of pure chakra either. you will survive the attack, but you will be severely burned after this, I will not be hurt by this technique. I advise you to g--"

"Do your worse", Okami interrupted him

"Very well; your choice, Okami of Leaf"

Once the sphere is a little smaller than a tailed beast bomb, Itachi let it fall near his feat.

Booommmmmmmmmm

A huge blast with incredible heat, and destroyed everything in its path appeared.

"..."

Okami joined his palms to stand in a praying motion.

"Sage arts: World of the emptiness"

!!!!

The blast disappeared, everything eventually disappeared.

!!!

"How did yo---

Itachi finally showed a reaction.

"..."

Okami opened his eyes. as he stood in praying motion.

The entire place has been turned upside down. The water has been evaporated, The earth cracked and turned entirely black.

The atmosphere has been destroyed by that attack as well.

"Incredible", muttered Okami

*Cough*Cough*Cough

Itachi coughed blood violently

"..."

"Look like time is up, I can't go on any further, And Kumo's army is upon us as well... Farewell Okami of Leaf, we might meet again in the future, but we will never be able to fight like this again... It was quite enjoyable", Itachi smiled gently *Cough*Cough*Cough

He was violently coughing blood after blood after blood.

"..."

A very Injured Kisame appeared behind Itachi and carried him on his back.

Itachi can't even move now. Look like Kisame somehow survived everything thrown at him. As expected of S-rank.

"Halt, stay where you are", came the voice behind them

Kumo's army is on them.

"..."

Kisame made some hand signs.

"Thousand water sharks bullets"

One thousand sharks made entirely of water charged like a bullet on them.

Okami raised his arm as well

Awooooooooooooo

A thousand dark wolves formed from thin air and attacked Kumo shinobis.

As both of them disappeared from the place using the chaos.

-------

(Unknown Location... Outside of Kumo)

Okami was seated on the ground, trying to recover himself.

He used his entire Natural energy inside of him to stop that last attack. It was that terrific.

That battle was not over, Itachi was not over yet.

He was not over yet as well. He still had plenty of Spiritual energy and Chakra inside of him.

Okami surely could defeat Itachi with sickness, who can only use Sharingan these days.

But, this battle, This battle where neither side held anything in their arsenal.

This battle left something to be desired.

Okami took a deep breath and started leaving.

-------

For Next Year, Okami of Leaf became the biggest thorn on Akatsuki's side.

He was everywhere Akatsuki went.

All their plans started to foil because of him.

During this last year, Okami fought many S-rank Shinobis on his own.

He grew better and more powerful with every battle.

-------

(1 Year Later)

A thick cloth covering his mouth, A teen was walking in a sandstorm.

He sits inside a camp and let the sandstorm pass through, as he takes out his water bag and drinks some water.

According to his information and prediction, Akatsuki's next target is Shikaku of Sand, Gaara.

"Halt, Who are you?", came Kankurō while carrying his puppets.

"Kankurō sama, we have found the traces of Kazekage sama they seem to have gone to the east side", came one scout in a hurry.

"Wait, Gaara has been kidnapped already?", the Teen covered in thick cloth asked.

"Who are you.", Kankurō took out his puppets and asked him

"..."

"Take him, He looks suspicious", He said

The chuunins following Kankurō advanced towards him.

"Back off"

Kankurō frowned, "I am the one who gives orders here"

"This is my first and final warning, back off"

Kankurō grinned, he was about to remove the bandage, when there was a tap on his back.

!!!!

'Fast'

"I am going to the east side, the ones who took Gaara are very powerful, You guys can not fight them, bring some backup, I will try to find those guys, and if possible, Gaara as well"

He was gone...

Kankurō gulped, as his body shivered, That speed was very fast. If this man was their opponent, They would have died right there, without even managing to scratch that guy.
