a meal is still a meal

"Earth style/toton- earth's dome" A wide dome appeared, protecting Kakashi- from the strike of the giant palm at the last moment. The thunder roared for a while. The earth shivered, preparing a devastating earthquake on milles away.

Aegis just kept listening to the loud silence of the wildlife. Then he looked in direction of his left side and noticed something coming from underground.

It was Kakashi. To survive at the last moment, he had to use the " Hidden in mole technique " To sunk further into the ground. And he was right. He would have been dead. He needed to quickly end this...

'Ninjutsu doesn't works. Now I am off with taijutsu, genjutsu for distracting him and then use the remaining chakra to make a powerful Kamui. Since that I didn't use it to counter his jutsu he must be thinking that I didn't have enough chakra even here so.. '

he threw some shurikens to aegis which he promptly avoided only to find that two of them were Kakashi using the transformation jutsu. Then they rushed instantly to him, engaging in a taijutsu fight as they clashed. Kakashi realised another problem. The enemy skin was too hard and he had too much force behind those punches. His clone had already been dispersed after receiving a punch in the stomach.

The fight continued for a moment as Kakashi was been pushed back, he side stepped avoid a kick in the ribs and then used this action to make Aegis fall into a genjutsu. Aegis stopped for a second and thought 'illusions ?' but he simply continued the fight.

After another hour, Aegis felt very bored and stopped playing. His speed doubled as Kakashi couldn't follow his hand going for his throat. Then he slammed Kakashi hard on the ground, immobilizing him.

" Sigh even when you had the advantage, you still made this fight boring. Where are your ''one thousand jutsu"? Why didn't you even make use of the landscape? " Aegis asked but Kakashi just remained silent in his pain.

"Listen I don't care what is wrong in your head right now but you're just spoiling the fight. So many times where you could just go for the kill like with your lightning jutsu" He spoke as he observed the chakra flow of Kakashi and just as imagined 'he reacted extremely to this'

" Trauma ? I see now. Make sure that the next time we see each other you're not getting held back by your past experiences because I wouldn't care then. Also tell your leader that I'll still see him in the evening and maybe I'll come with some gifts " He murmured the last part as he looked at the mount myoboku in the distance.

"Now go" He waved his hand as Kakashi and the land mass disappeared.

Konoha, outskirts of the village

After a somehow rough landing Kakashi was again in Konoha. He kept his guard up as the foe he had met was truly unpredictable. But this was for nothing as he heard his sensei calling him with one of his ninken.

" Kakashi are you okay?"

"Yes Minato sensei, I am somehow in one piece" He said but he could clearly fell that some of his bones were broken.

" Ah Minato sensei the enemy-"

" Yeah I know who it is but we won't be talking about that here. Tell me what happened from the very beginning "

" Understood." Then he told him the whole story...

'A place with very dense chakra concentration, a giant mountain filled with big toads that could be seen from hundreds of milles... That mount myoboku' Minato cursed

"Did he said something else ? "

" Yes he told me to give you a message" Said Kakashi with a bit of uncertainty in his eyes. How did he knows Minato sensei ?

" He said that he will meet you in the evening and maybe he will come with gifts "

"Got it." Then he ordered some anbu to carry Kakashi to the hospital and teleported away.

Mount myoboku

Minato reappeared there next to his flying raijin formula as he was going to search for Aegis. He needs to understand why he did all that.

"Oh Minato-kun, what brings you here?" Asked Shima as she came back from her little hunting

" Hello lady Shima. I am here to search for a young boy-"

" Ah you're talking about Aegis ! you could have said it sooner! Come with me, his at the house " Minato was speechless as he was being dragged by Shima...

" Dad I am here with Minato-kun" said Shima while dashing to her kitchen

"Oh Minato-kun how have you been ? I am sure that you're here for either one of those guys" He said, pointing to Aegis sitting and humming on the couch while enjoying his meal of...Insects and a beaten up jiraiya trying to give to the previous one his share of cooked insects. It was wholesome.

" Oh Minato, you knew about this place ? " Asked Minato

"Minato are you related to this wild boy" Asked jiraiya.

" Long story, He is my nephew. And you, do you realize the amount of trouble you've given me this time ? " Said Minato while looking at Aegis who still had an happy face.

" Troubles ? No. See I in fact made things more easier for you. That brat Kakashi is neglecting his potential because of some kind of trauma. Actually I wouldn't even wasted my time on him and directly put him unconscious for his disrespectful habits but with his Sharingan capability of teleporting things, is can become a major power from this village. Given the look you have on your face now you didn't know about this, did you? "

"No, I didn't.. "

" Great now another thing that you don't know about your people of your own village. You have to be more firm on those kinds of things, Minato"

"Hey why are you so harsh on your uncle you wild animal ?"

" Wanna lay in a coffin sooner than you should have you creeps? "

" Little-"

" Okay calm down now. Its very lucky that I decided to go out to hunt one more time. Looks at you Minato-kun you're a bag of bones. And you Aegis need to eat more to grow. Everyone come here to eat "

"Yes" Replied Aegis as he literally flew to her

" Why am I left behind again " Murmured fukasaku

"Dear Rikudo.. " commented jiraiya and Minato, not very eager to eat this..
