Kisame Tries To Flee!

Yoruichi originally thought that Obito was going to chicken out, especially since Kisame Hoshigaki had such a terrifying aura. Obito definitely didn't want to face him.

Yoruichi stepped back 10 meters, casually waving for Obito to step forward.

"Haha, what's this? Training the rookies?" Kisame sneered. "I'll make sure none of you leave here alive. I'll chop off your legs and feed you to the sharks!"

Yoruichi smirked. "Feed the sharks? Keep feeding them, and someday you'll be the one fed to them."

"Looking for death, huh?" Kisame growled, his chakra flaring violently.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, he charged in with a kunai.

Kisame swung his massive sword, Samehada, cleaving through Kakashi's kunai like it was paper before bringing the blade down toward Obito.

"Ahhh!" Obito screamed, falling back onto the ground in a panic. But in his stumble, he accidentally avoided the attack.

Vines sprouted unexpectedly at Kisame's feet, momentarily tripping him up and saving Obito by a hair's breadth.

The blade grazed Obito's scalp, leaving him bald on top.

Yoruichi burst into laughter.

Obito froze, his hands trembling as he touched his head. Tears welled up. "My hair…" he mumbled in despair.

Kakashi shouted, "Obito, get it together and fight!"

Kisame sneered. "Pathetic brat. You're useless. You'll die here, and it's all because your so-called mentor doesn't care enough to save you!"

Just then, under the pressure of the situation, Obito's Sharingan activated. His kunai met Samehada, blocking Kisame's strike for a brief moment.

Yoruichi appeared in an instant, halting Kisame's follow-up attack.

However, Samehada still carried its momentum, slamming into Obito and sending him flying backward. He hit the ground hard, his arm going limp.

Yoruichi looked at him and chuckled. "Not bad, Obito. Blocking a jonin's attack is an achievement. Good job."

Obito, wide-eyed, looked toward him in disbelief. "Sensei…?"

Meanwhile, Rin rushed over to Obito. "Hold still! I'll heal you." She channeled chakra into her palms and began restoring his arm.

Obito's panic eased as warmth spread through his arm. He glanced at Rin, and his heart skipped a beat. *Marry Rin someday…* he thought dreamily.

"Done!" Rin pouted and turned to Yoruichi. "Sensei, wasn't this too dangerous? Obito's arm could've been ruined!"

Yoruichi shrugged. "If it's not dangerous, how will they grow?"

Kisame's expression darkened. He clenched his sword. *A clone did this much damage?*

Just as Kisame prepared to unleash his *Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave*, Yoruichi stepped back again.

"Kakashi, your turn. A good chance to test your skills," Yoruichi said with a grin.

Kakashi nodded, determination flashing in his eyes. "Got it, sensei! I'll use my new jutsu!"

Electricity crackled around Kakashi as he formed a concentrated bolt of lightning in his hand.

"Chidori!"

The screeching sound of a thousand birds filled the battlefield.

Kakashi dashed toward Kisame with blinding speed.

"Not bad, kid," Kisame muttered before effortlessly sidestepping and kicking Kakashi aside.

Kakashi flew back, hitting the ground with a thud, blood dripping from his mouth.

Yoruichi sighed. "Looks cool, but you're too young. Your jutsu takes too long to charge."

"Sensei!" Rin hurried to Kakashi's side to heal him.

Meanwhile, Obito threw a shuriken at Kisame, keeping him at bay.

Yoruichi nodded approvingly. "Much better. Keep the pressure on."

Kisame roared in anger. "Enough of this!"

*Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!*

Water gushed from Kisame's mouth, flooding the area and turning it into a vast lake.

Obito, Rin, and Kakashi froze.

"Sensei…" Kakashi muttered, his voice shaky.

Kisame sneered. "Welcome to my domain! This water is mine to control. You're all doomed!"

With a roar, he launched a *Water Shark Bullet Technique*, the massive projectile racing toward them.

"Wood Style: Wood Locking Wall!"

Yoruichi formed hand seals, and wooden pillars rose from the ground, curving into an arch to shield them from the attack.

The shark-shaped water bullet crashed into the wooden wall, dispersing on impact.

But Kisame only smirked. "Think that'll stop me? In water, my chakra is limitless!"

Rin's voice trembled. "Sensei, what do we do? His sharks are endless!"

Obito's Sharingan spun. "Sensei, he's not running out of chakra. It's growing!"

Kakashi glared. "Sensei, enough games! Please get serious!"

Yoruichi chuckled. "Relax. I was just thinking about how to counter him."

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

The ground shook violently as trees burst forth, rapidly growing into a dense forest. Thick roots and branches stretched out, absorbing the lake.

Kisame's eyes widened in shock. "What the hell?! A Wood-Style user?!"

The water vanished into the cracks of the earth, leaving Kisame stranded.

"This… This is insane! When did Konoha get someone like this?!" Kisame's bravado disappeared.

He turned and fled. 'I can't beat him!'
