Chapter 83: Ken Vs Itachi and Kabuto

"Begin"

Itachi quickly released a large fireball from his mouth heading towards Ken who just smirked.

"Someone is eager to burn me," Ken said while a rubber ball surrounded him and defended him against the fireball.

"Anger does not suit you, Itachi. You should have known that this jutsu won't work against me and would just be a waste of chakra for you." Ken commented while knowing that his comment on Sasuke was the reason for Itachi being all riled up.

Ken without waiting for Itachi's response slammed his palms on the ground.

'Earth Style: Rupturing Earth Palm'

The entire training ground in front of Ken broke up as the local earth shifted. Cracks appeared on the ground as blocks of earth split up and launched upwards.

This made both Itachi and Kabuto jump up so as not to loose their footing.

Itachi had regained his calm after firing up the fireball.

He looked at Kabuto and said "Anti-Ken strategy?"

Kabuto smirked and nodded as they both looked at the molten lava rocks flying towards them.

'Water Style: Water Wall'

Both of them spit out water that took the form of a water wall which defended them against the lava rocks as they landed back on the ground.

A lot of mist was created from the collision which was Ken's aim from the start. The mist was going to hamper Itachi's Sharingan visibility. He thanked Zabusa and Kakashi for this trick.

As for how Ken would see in the mist, he had trained his senses with Mukai for such situations. He could smell both Itachi and Kabuto.

Ken rushed at both of them in the mist with his gauntlet swords. Itachi was his first target.

*Clang* *Clang*

Ken's eyes widened as Itachi managed to block one of his swords with his tantō. His second sword blocked Kabuto's kunai who was aiming for his heart.

'Son of a witch, he has signed a contract with crows already,' Ken cursed as he looked at the crows in the mist looking at his every move.

Itachi had signed the contract with Crows during the past year. These crows could see through dark, smoke, and even mist. They relayed the information to Itachi about what Ken was doing and in turn, Itachi relayed it to Kabuto.

With both of Ken's hands occupied, he could not do anything as both Kabuto and Itachi used their free hand to punch right in his gut and his face.

Ken was smashed to the ground. He quickly used earth mole jutsu to escape from his disadvantaged position through the ground.

"Ah, that felt good," Itachi said smirking after punching Ken's face.

"You ruined my beautiful face!" Ken angrily said while wiping the blood off his face.

"Oh, I will ruin it when I burn your eyebrows," Itachi said while making hand signs.

'Damn, Look at Itachi smack talking like that. Fugaku might die of surprise if he sees his stoic son like this.' Shikaku who was watching the fight commented in his mind

'Fire Style: Fierce Dragon Flame Jutsu'

Itachi launched several large dragon head-shaped fireballs towards Ken who formed a single hand sign as the surroundings turned very hot.

*Smash*Smash*Smash*

Ken slammed his Magma hands against the dragon-shaped fireballs easily overpowering them while also protecting him from the flames.

Itachi, Kabuto, and even Shikuro were shocked to see the entire hand of Ken being covered with Lava, no it was covered with Magma.

From his shoulder to his palm, both of his hands were covered with 'red' colored Lava instead of his normal orange-yellowish lava.

His magma arms were as big as gorilla's arms with a lot of reach but also with quite a lot of weight. Thankfully, he had trained with them so he did not let them slow him much.

He was using chakra to cover his hands to protect his hands from getting burned from magma which required a lot of chakra control and it required a lot of concentration from Ken.

Kabuto and Itachi tried to test the waters while throwing some shurikens towards Ken.

Ken put his wide magma arms to defend himself from the shuriken. The shuriken instantly melted on coming in contact with the magma.

"I don't think that we should get anywhere near those hands," Kabuto said terrified at the fate of the shurikens.

Ken though rushed at them with his burly magma hands.

Both Kabuto and Itachi created water clones to stop Ken's advance who smashed them apart instantly destroying them.

Ken then smashed Itachi with his fists. His eyes widened as he saw Itachi's skin and bones melting away.

'Damn it, Genjutsu. He must have placed me on a genjutsu with one of his water clones. Such a cheat bloodline. Kai!' Ken dispersed the genjutsu but another surprise was waiting for him.

Kabuto who had chakra scalpels formed on both of his hands was at his back as he used the scalpels to slit through his leg tendons which made Ken fall.

"Ahhhhhh, that hurts!"

"You should give up. I have severed your tendons. You would not be walking without them being healed." Kabuto said while holding the chakra scalpel to his neck.

Ken reluctantly gave up as Kabuto started healing him. Itachi smirked at Ken who gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Anti-Ken strategy really worked huh?" Kabuto said as both he and Itachi fist-bumped in joy.

"A good fight. I will tell you about all your mistakes after all three of you are done with your solo fights. Next up is Itachi and then Kabuto. Now rest up and heal up. We would start in half an hour. " Shikuro said

"Let's see how you fair in a 2V1 battle. I can't wait to wipe that smirk out of your face." Ken said looking at Itachi who just rolled his eyes.

Well, as you all would have guessed both Kabuto and Itachi lost their solo battles and Ken had his sweet revenge.
