Chapter 136 : Kashin's Death (Rewrite)

Raikage charged towards Kashin. Kashin who at this point was not looking very good and breathing hard stood in his place. Ready to intercept Raikage. But both Kirito and he knew that Raikage's attack was much faster than was previous attack. He can't counter this one.

Raikage was almost upon him but at this time, Kirito activated his replacement technique and replaced position with Kashin.

He already had put a seal on Kashin so he does not have to find him every time he need him or Ashina. ( There is the seal on Ashina too and both of them did not know about that).

Kashin suddenly went from facing an incoming Raikage with a definitely deadly attack to standing where Kirito was like an idiot.

For Kirito though, it was much more intense. He directly switched positions with Kashin and in front of him was the incoming Raikage with the speed of lightning.

It was only because of his Observation of Haki that he was able to catch Raikage's speed.

"Dude, what is this guy doing here? With this much talent, he should be in the Olympics. Land of Thunder will definitely get gold." Kirito joked to himself.

What he was thinking aside, Kirito already had a Rasengan in his hand.

Raikage noticed that Ashina suddenly disappeared and suddenly the blonde kid he wanted to kill appeared in his place.

He was curious how that happened but he wanted to kill Kirito even more. He did not stop but kept on going and directly targeted Kirito's heart.

Kirito was also ready with Rasengan in his hand.

"Alright, need to aim right" Kirito muttered to himself and dodged at the right time when Raikage's hand arrived near him.

Raikage eyes widen at how fast Kirito moved and dodged the attack. But was just the start.

Just like how Naruto did in the anime. Kirito waited for Raikage's arm to get past him and he dodged beneath the arm. Just like Naruto, Kirito was also in sage mode.

Then slammed the Rasengan in an angle of the elbow of Raikage.

This attack ended up changing the direction of the Raikage attack. His finger got redirected backwards and directly pierced his own shoulder.

This all happened before Kashin or others could even notice that Kirito was suddenly fighting the Raikage.

"Awesome, I did it" Kirito shouted. He was honestly suspicious about this move Naruto pulled in the anime but it really worked.

"Kirito" Kashin only noticed Kirito when he heard Kirito shouting. He then noticed Raikage pierced his own shoulder and on his knees.

(By the way for anyone who is confused, we are talking about the 3rd Raikage. The one Naruto fought in the fourth Shinobi War. The big beard one).

Kirito slowly walks towards Kashin. He was honestly tired by this point.

Maybe this was the reason he did not see Raikage standing once again back to his feet. He was bleeding heavily from his left shoulder but still he stood like nothing had happened.

His eye was fixed on Kirito's back. Kashin notices this. His eyes widen.

This particular expression of Kashin was also noticed by Kirito. He was tired, very tired.

Honestly, he might have not made this kind of mistake if he was mentally not this much tired at this point.

He would have never shown an enemy his back until he confirmed he was dead. But this extreme chakra exhaustion and headache he was facing because he overused Haki in the morning while Spamming the Flying Thunder God Technique and Shadow Clone Jutsu, made him commit a mistake which no experienced Shinobi should do. Showing their back to an enemy.

Kirito just realizes this and immediately turns back but it is already too late.

 In a split second, he saw Raikage coming towards him like Shinigami.

Kirito thought. " Shit, but it's not like even If I did not let my guard down then I could have avoided this attack in the first place. My body is hardly moving after using that much Nine Tails Chakra, I honestly should have trained in Nine Tail chakra before but no point thinking about it, I am dead".

He stood there waiting for the inevitable to come. He already closes his eyes. He already used everything he could have now and did not have anything more that he could have done.

But the expected blow never came. Kirito slowly opened his eyes and saw something which he was not expecting at all. Something even he did not know that would be giving him many nightmares in the future.

There was standing Kashin in front of him facing him. Raikage pierces his chest from his back. In fact, Raikage's hand was only a few meters away from reaching Kirito.

"Kashin," Kirito said. His eyes widened.

Kashin spat blood from his mouth.

"Kashin" Kirito shouted again and rushed ahead. But Raikage snapped his hand to the side and Kashin's body was sent flying towards the side. Kirito without thinking too much just followed Kashin. It is not like he can do anything about the Raikage so he just did what he could.

Ashina who was now getting a little rest after his granddaughter and the Uzumaki force entered the scene to hold back the remaining enemy army, saw this and his eyes also widened. He immediately rushes to intercept Raikage.

Raikage was about to attack Kirito but at this time Ashina came in front of him. He himself was pretty tired but stood there.

Her granddaughter also noticed that Ashina was attacked and rushed towards him.

"Kashin you okay," Kirito asked but both of them knew that Raikage directly pierced his heart. The only thing which could have saved Kashin at this point was either the 100 rebirth technique from Tsunade or Naruto's power he got after getting sage of six path powers.

Kashin looked weakly at Kirito and smiled.

"Let's not worry over me. Just like I told you. I did not have enough time to live anyway. At least it is better this way. I give my life to save my student's life" Kashin said with difficulty.

Kirito did not say anything. He knew that this was Kashin's last words so he let him speak.

"You are not following your heart Kirito." Kashin looked at Kirito and said. Kirito however did not understand anything that Kashin was saying.

"I am not following my heart" Kirito just repeated.

"How I am not following my heart," Kirito asked.

Kashin smiled knowingly. "You are rushing in your life kid. When was the last time you lived your life? last time you did something else beside getting stronger" Kashin asked.

Kirito unfortunately still did not understand what he was trying to say.

"Don't worry. One day you will understand. Just remember why you are getting strong and whom you are doing all this for in the first place" Kashin said and coughed out blood.

"I will," Kirito usually would have completely dismissed this talk but this was Kashin's last words to him. He this time really listened.

"Good, now go and beat him" Kashin said and raised his sword which he was still holding towards Kirito. Giving it to him.

Kirito held the sword but before fully taking it from Kashin he said. " Need some more time, mind staying alive still then, ".

"Haha, maybe not. But you really don't need to wait. Just let go of the dormant power of Haki. There is one more type. I know that you too know that" Kashin said his voice already cracking.

Kirito stayed quiet.

"You just need.. *cough* *cough*.

just need to let go, caculative mind won't work here kid, a conqueror act as his heart says. You don't need to copy someone else, plan or even prepare just go right in.

Stop being someone else.. *cough* *cough* 

Chase your dreams. Chase your real Real Will.

It will make you stronger. Believe it. The will of D.....".

That was the last thing Kirito heard Kashin saying before he with the last of his strength pushed his sword completely towards Kirito and died.

By this time the no-name girl was also there and crying. Kirito thought was completely taken over by Kashin. He at this point was not even looking at Kashin's dead body. He was staring at the ground, not sure himself what he was thinking.

Raikage's fight with Ashina was not going well. Ashina was getting hammered by the Raikage.

After one point, Ashina could not hold the continuous onslaughts of attack from Raikage and was blasted back.

Raikage even being injured and almost lost his left arm. Was more than a match for Ashina. But he did not go forward to Kill Ashina. After fighting him, he was sure that Ashina was the easier target here. He needs to kill Kirito first.

He once again raised his hand towards Kirito's back who was right now looking towards the ground.

And after only pointing one finger towards him. He rushes towards Kirito.

This time around, there was no one to stop him. And he could not sense Kirito infusing any chakra. It was a clean attack directly towards the heart.
