The ghostly hound of Konoha

Inside a forest, clad in the darkness of the moonless night and thick cloud obstructing the starlight from reaching Earth.

The forest was filled with the agonizing cries of dying individuals.

"Aaaarrrrrrrrgggghhhh!!!!"

"Aaaaarrrrrrr-"

"haaaa...haaaa...haaaa... Di-did I... ha

aa... lose him... haaa... To think... haaa...haaaa.... tha-haaa...that konoha ... haaa...haaa... would send such a fiend after us.... haaaa... We... are ... so unlucky.... Damn it..." said a man covered with bruises and wearing a slate grey flak jacket with extended shoulder guards as he ran with all the strength he had.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

*Baaaam*

As the man ran, he lost his footing while trying to stop as a small piece of land. Then, he fell from the 2 m height cliff that he tried to evade and rolled down the cliff.

"Damn it, I wound my right le-Aaarrrrggg-hmmmmm!!!"

Five dogs of different sizes and breeds, were immobilizing the man with four biting his limbs and a human-size bulldog sitting on him. There was also a hand that emerged from the ground blocking his mouth and the head of a man with spiky, white hair protruding from the ground.

The White-haired man was Hatake Kakashi and his entire face was hidden by a white fox-like porcelain mask without any hole for the eyes.

"Pakkun... Bull... Urushi... Akino... Guruko... You can all go back leave the rest to me, I will reward greatly as usual...Thanks my loyal comrades...."

* ppppuuuuufffffff*

The ninja dogs disappeared after Kakashi finished talking and the now freed man tried to move away from Kakashi using this opportunity.

"Sorry, but it's too late... Earth-style: added-weight rock technique!!!" said Kakashi as the man stopped moving and his body sank a few centimetres in the ground.

Kakashi then jumbed out of the ground and landed beside the man. He was wearing the typical Anbu's attire,except for a pair of black arm warmers and black leg warmers, and a black haramaki(bellyband) over his steel grey flak jacket. He also had a sword strapped behind his right shoulder , a shuriken holster strapped on his right leg and three ninja pouches on his back.

"T-the...gho-stly... ho-und...o-of... Ko-no-ha...."

The man struggled with all his strength to say those words as he stared at Kakashi who moved his left hand in front of himself. A sliver of blue chakra slowly started to appear on the palm of Kakashi and rotated inwardly, before rapidly turning into a blue rotating ball. The ball was about 10cm in diameter and floated a few milimeters above his palm.

"THE GHOSTLY HOUND OF KONOHA... Huh!?!... In this alternative of the main plot that I created due to saving Rin and not taking part in the battle of the Kannabi bridge.... Really had a great impact on this world but it doesn't matter, this name strikes more pain in the heart of my enemies instead of Kakashi of the Sharingan anyway...

Now, rest in peace...".said Kakashi as he slammed his rasengan onto the man's chest and the latter spit blood before his eyes became lifeless.

" Now, It's time to go back home... I've away from the village for about a week now, Rin might be worried. Also, there's only a few days before Lady Kushina gives birth to Naruto...

I don't know what might happen now that Obito is really gone, but I don't think that anyone can harm Lord Fourth now, that he's gone. At least until I awaken those eyes of mine." said Kakashi as he lift his head upward as if trying to see something through his porcelain mask.

*puff *

He disappeared leaving only a small smoke cloud behind.
