**************

With a battle cry that resonated through the battlefield, Koushin thrust his hands forward, commanding his two Lava Atronachs to assist the others. The fiery beasts responded instantly, their forms becoming even more intense as they prepared to check where they were needed most.

Kakashi, alongside Naruto and Hinata, found himself standing at Koushin's side, watching the display of raw power with mixed awe and determination.

Turning towards Kakashi, Koushin flashed his trademark cheeky grin. "Keep an eye on Naruto and Hinata, would you? It seems I've got a couple of dates with some old friends."

Kakashi nodded, "Just be careful, Koushin."

Koushin simply winked in response, already moving towards his opponents, his form now devoid of the two towering Atronachs. Jozu and the other nameless Akatsuki members squared off against Koushin, their eyes reflecting a mixture of anticipation and dread.

"Alright, pretty boys!" Koushin barked, his grin growing wider. "Ready to feel the burn?"

His challenge was met with a growl from Jozu, his eyes flaring with resentment. The other Akatsuki member simply glared, silent but undeniably menacing. The tension between them was almost palpable as they prepared to clash.

Koushin advanced, the intensity of his lightning chakra mode making his presence feel like a walking storm. Sparks jumped from his fingertips, his electric aura crackling with a hunger for battle. Koushin's eyes were gleaming with determination, his face set into a smirk as he locked onto Jozu and the other Akatsuki members.

"Raiton: Chidori Nagashi!" he declared, sending a wave of electrified chakra rippling around him. The energy spread out, distorting the air as it collided with the fierce wind summoned by the Akatsuki member.

Jozu responded instantly, "Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!" He cast the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, the churning waters twisting upwards to form a monstrous dragon. It roared, the sound echoing around them as it flew towards Koushin, its gaping maw threatening to swallow him whole.

"Meet my flames, water beast!" Koushin bellowed, activating his Hellflame Essence Key. His chakra shifted, molding into an inferno that matched the intensity of his Lava Atronachs. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"

A massive fireball erupted from Koushin's mouth, blazing towards the water dragon. The two elements met in a violent clash, the searing heat evaporating the water beast. Steam hissed into the atmosphere, obscuring their vision momentarily.

Emerging from the cloud, Koushin sprinted towards his opponents, hands coated in the vibrantly glowing Rasengan. "Rasengan: Hellflame Surge!" he cried out, imbuing his Rasengan with the deadly flames of his Hellflame Essence Key.

The wind-using Akatsuki member tried to block his approach, gusts of razor-sharp air ripping towards Koushin, "Wind Style: Kamikaze!" However, the fiery Rasengan devoured the winds, its flames growing larger and hotter, propelled by the oxygen-rich gusts.

As Koushin neared his opponents, he pushed the swirling orb of fiery Rasengan onto the ground, sending him flying into the air. Jozu, still recovering from his failed water dragon technique, looked up to see Koushin descending, his figure wreathed in light and shadow.

Koushin's form, glowing with the lightning chakra mode, arced through the sky. From his vantage point, he could see Jozu and the wind user below, their faces upturned. He twisted his body, using his momentum to direct his descent towards his targets.

"Twilight Key!" Koushin shouted, activating the ability as he fell. Shadows stretched and light bent around him, creating disorienting illusions that made his trajectory unpredictable.

Jozu launched a cascade of water needles upwards, the "Suiton: Mizurappa" targeted at the descending figure. His companion conjured a swirling cyclone, "Wind Style: Atsugai", aiming to catch Koushin within its fierce winds.

Koushin, however, used his Twilight Key to blur his form. He weaved through the water and wind attacks, his body seeming to split and merge, distorting reality. From the corners of their eyes, Jozu and the wind user could see numerous Koushins diving towards them, an illusion created by the bending light.

Reaching the ground level, Koushin activated his Resilience of the Ashpit Key, absorbing the residual force of the fall and propelling him towards his opponents. His body moved with an unnatural speed and precision, the chakra swirling around him with a ferocious intensity.

With a roar, Koushin unleashed his chakra in a lightning-infused punch aimed at the wind user. "Raiton: Raikō Kenka!" The fist found its mark, sending the Akatsuki member sprawling back.

However, Koushin had no time to relish his attack. Jozu retaliated with his own jutsu, "Suiton: Mizuame Nabara!" Sticky syrup made from water erupted from his mouth, spreading rapidly to engulf Koushin.

Using his Doton chakra, Koushin stomped on the ground, "Doton: Doryūheki!" A wall of earth rose from the ground around him, shielding him from the incoming syrup and trapping it before it could spread any further.

Erupting from the earthen enclosure, Koushin met Jozu's glare with a smirk. "Ready for round two, waterboy?"

Jozu responded with a surge of water chakra, forming a giant vortex around his body. "Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu!" The powerful waters swirled dangerously, threatening to drown Koushin.

But Koushin wasn't deterred. Activating his Web Weaver Key, he began to spin intricate webs of chakra around him, each strand pulsating with potent energy. As the vortex closed in, Koushin channeled his elemental chakra into the web, the fibers of his Rasengan adopting the fierce nature of his Hellflame Essence Key.

"Rasengan: Inferno Web!" With a swift thrust, Koushin sent the burning web spiraling towards the vortex. The moment the flaming web made contact with the water, it exploded in a burst of steam, dispelling the powerful vortex.

Having temporarily immobilized Jozu, Koushin turned his attention to the wind user, who had recovered from the lightning punch. A swirl of wind was forming around his fingers, sharp as a blade. "Wind Style: Kaze Kiri!"

Anticipating the wind slash, Koushin countered by using the Dominion's Grasp Key. A surge of dark chakra emanated from him, targeting the wind user's mental fortitude. The Akatsuki member faltered, the wind slash dissipating as his focus wavered.

"Three years…" Jozu growled, his eyes scrutinizing Koushin's every move. "How in the hell did you become this powerful in just three years?"

"Hard work and the right motivation," Koushin quipped, his grin never wavering despite the relentless assault from the duo.

In response, Jozu marshaled his chakra, combining it with the moisture in the air. His hands wove through a sequence of signs with practiced precision. "Suiton: Suishōha!"

From the swirling vortex of water around him, a massive wave rose and surged towards Koushin. But the shinobi was ready, activating his Resilience of the Ashpit Key. His body hardened against the imminent impact, standing firm as the torrent crashed against him.

Riding the wave, the wind Akatsuki member conjured another deadly gust. "Wind Style: Kaze no Yaiba!" A blade of wind took form in his hand, its edge sharper than any conventional weapon.

Koushin, however, was a step ahead. His hands moved rapidly, molding chakra with an urgent intensity. "Doton: Doryūdan!" The ground before him shook and erupted, giving birth to a dragon head made of earth. The force of the jutsu collided with the water wave, disrupting its flow and creating a temporary barrier against the wind blade.

"Your move, pretty boy," Koushin teased, his eyes twinkling with a cocky confidence.

The wind user snarled, the expression distorting his features grotesquely. "Wind Style: Daitoppa!" He inhaled deeply and then expelled a large wind blast, aiming to break through the earth dragon.

Koushin reacted instantly. "Twilight Key!" His figure blurred and disappeared, only to reappear several feet away, seemingly unscathed by the wind assault.

The wind user's eyes widened in surprise, but before he could react, Koushin was already on the move. His body was a blur, the electric crackle of the Lightning Chakra Mode dancing around him as he dashed towards his opponent.

"Raiton: Raikō Kenka!" A lightning-infused fist smashed into the wind user, the sound of the impact reverberating across the battlefield.

Taken aback, the wind user staggered, but Koushin wasn't done. He quickly formed another Rasengan, this one glowing with an intense heat. "Rasengan: Hellflame Surge!" He thrust the flaming chakra orb towards his enemy, engulfing him in an inferno.

Meanwhile, Jozu had recovered from his failed wave attack. "Koushin, you bastard," he spat, drawing on the limitless chakra of the Edo Tensei. "Suiton: Mizuame Nabara!" A sticky syrup exploded towards Koushin, hoping to catch him off guard.

But Koushin was ready. He activated his Web Weaver Key, spinning intricate webs of chakra that intertwined with the syrup, neutralizing its effect. "You're going to have to do better than that, waterboy."

Enraged, Jozu gathered his chakra again. "Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu!" A vortex of water formed around him, threatening to swallow Koushin.

Koushin simply smirked. "Bring it on."

As the vortex closed in, Koushin channeled his elemental chakra into the web. "Rasengan: Inferno Web!" The flaming web spiraled towards the vortex, clashing with it in a violent explosion of steam and heat.

Taking advantage of the confusion, Koushin used his Dominion's Grasp Key. The wind user, still reeling from the Hellflame Surge, staggered as his mental defenses wavered under the onslaught of the dark chakra.

"Now you're mine," Koushin declared, charging towards his dazed opponent. He delivered a swift, precise jab to the man's chest. "Raiton: Raikiri!"

A sharp spike of electricity coursed through the wind user, drawing a pained scream. The attack sent him sprawling, but the Edo Tensei's regenerative properties quickly began mending his injuries.

Turning his attention back to Jozu, Koushin saw the water user had already regained his composure. "Still standing?" Koushin quipped, a cocky grin playing on his lips.

Jozu snarled in response, his eyes filled with renewed determination. "This isn't over, Koushin!"

As Jozu formed another hand sign, Koushin instinctively activated the Void's Embrace Key. He vanished from sight, becoming completely undetectable.

Unfazed, Jozu unleashed his next attack, "Suiton: Goshokuzame!" From the water beneath their feet, multiple water sharks erupted, blindly thrashing around to locate their invisible target.

Koushin, from his vantage of invisibility, observed the scene. A spark of lightning chakra flickered in his palm, growing in size and intensity. Using his Elemental Chakra, he laced the ball of lightning with his fire chakra, forming a blazing and crackling sphere. "Raiton: Hono no Rasengan!"

Becoming visible, he thrust the sphere into the ground, creating a massive explosion that evaporated the water around him and dispelled Jozu's water sharks. Koushin then sprinted towards Jozu, his Lightning Chakra Mode leaving a trail of sparks in his wake.

Jozu countered with a powerful water blast, "Suiton: Hahonryū!" The spiraling torrent was aimed directly at Koushin, but the shinobi dodged the attack with an effortless grace. He was in front of Jozu in an instant.

Koushin activated his Resilience of the Ashpit Key again, augmenting his strength for the following blow. "Taijutsu: Tsuyoi Kōgeki!" His fist landed a solid hit on Jozu, the impact resonating with a bone-jarring force.

Jozu staggered back, wincing as he felt the powerful punch even through the Edo Tensei's numbness. But the water user was far from defeated. He gathered his limitless chakra, ready to unleash another assault.

However, Koushin was quicker. "Genjutsu: Dominion's Grasp!" He locked eyes with Jozu, his dark chakra seeping into the water user's consciousness.

Jozu faltered, his next attack dissipating as Koushin's Genjutsu took hold. "Impossible..." he muttered, unable to resist the mental onslaught.

"Nothing is impossible," Koushin replied, a shadow clone appearing beside him. They performed a synchronized set of hand signs. "Fūinjutsu: Sealing Art!"

Golden chains erupted from the ground, wrapping around Jozu and the wind user, binding them in place. The seal glowed with a brilliant light, cutting off their chakra flow and immobilizing them.

Koushin wiped the sweat from his brow, a satisfied smile gracing his features. "That should keep you two in check. Not so tough without your jutsu, huh?"
