I deem you worthy

As fast as we could we dashed through the trees to get to team kakashi's location to provide support. It took us early morning to be at the dock and rent a boatman to take us near the construction site of the bridge. I could sense some chakra on the bridge but they are apart. 2 on the nearest with the chakra of an elite Jonin. And 4 near them with a few that's civilian.

"Captain lets ask the boatman to get us near the end of the unfinished bridge. I can sense that kakashi's fighting someone over there while Naruto, sasuke and sakura's chakra are also just a little bith near them." captain nodded to agree

"You heard the man mister. Please take us over there we will take care of the rest." she told the boatman

"how are you going to climb that bridge if we're not going through the dock where the bridge start" he seemed confused

"we're shinobi mister so leave the rest to us and just do your job" Iori's excited.

"well whatever, as long you pay later."

We got near the end of the unfinished bridge. After captain paid the boatman we all jumped and landed on the bridge with a situation that surprised us.

But that didn't stop me from responding.

Kakashi's hand has already formed the raikiri(lightning blade). I can see haku running away from naruto to reach zabuza's side.

"tsk, A fool." with a charge of chakra to the sole of my feet I vanished from my position as if I teleported. And in a blink of an eye I'm already at kakashi's back intercepting haku. Using the force pushing me forward I used my left knee to knock haku back, before he could be forced back I sent my other right lef like a hook. Imagine kicking a soccer ball to score a goal but instead of a ball imagine it as haku face. He was sent over to where naruto was. " Kuro! what are you doing?" I didn't listen to him since this is not the time to. I turned my back to see kakashi's lightning blade pierced through zabuza's chest. But with vigor and his will to live, zabuza was still able to raise the executioner's blade ready to strike kakashi even with all of kakashi hounds biting him down earlier.

"I will take you down with me copy ninja, kakashi of the sharingan!"

"Not on my watch!" kuro was already in his pose to strike and is beside kakashi surprising the both of them.

"Self taught, Shoka Gijutsu: HiKen!"

[Flame/Fire Fighting technique: FireFist]

'I hold the executioner's blade with my left hand and let my right hand strike zabuza's head. with the force behind the fist zabuza was thrown away pulling kakashi's hand which still has a residue of the Raikiri [lightning blade]'

Zabuza's body flew over near kuro's team.

"Yoh kakashi.! it seems like we're late, we barely made it to help you guys"

Kakashi fell to his knees and was assisted by kuro "Nope, your timing couldn't be perfect. I could have received a serious injury or even die if your team didn't arrive in time to intervene. Thanks for rushing here to help us"

"I'm supposed to say thanks but that guy with you took all the credits. So you can thank him instead. Good Job kuro.!" udon said while blushing which nobody was able to notice.

"yeah kuro. Thanks" struggling to stand with the help of kuro, kakashi was still grateful

"It was nothing captain kakashi. we're allies aft-." somebody cut them off before they further say anything. It was Gato and his men. He brought lot of henchmen.

"I would also like to thank you kid. You having killed zabuza here was actually according to plan. His price was so high you see, ofcourse this many Rogue Shinobi I brought with me also cost me a lot. But with zabuza out of the line, everything just turned great for me Hahahaha!(evil laugh). All of you will have to die here."

"Captain your orders?" Asked kuro to his captain.

"Well we can't really let you hog all the glory can't we? Just protect kakashi there. We'll take care of this. I can feel that they're all weaklings."

"I really want to fight some more but it can't be helped. Good luck captain udon, Hana, and Himari.! You can do this."

"Hmp it's our time to shine now Iori let's show'em we're also strong like kuro"

"I couldn't agree more Hana"

His team then proceeds to pulverise the other group into powder. You can hear a lot of scream. some were due to being electricuted while some were witnessing the darkest nightmare they have ever seen and the rest were bombarded with shuriken with strings which Iori handed to her captain and more screamed from being electricuted.

"Kakashi sensei, Is it okay if Gato dies? although zabuza and the other ninja was our enemy. I just can't bear the fact that they were betrayed by their supposed comrades, They are worst than scum to me" kuro asked kakashi without realising that his anger was able to show his killing intent. Although just a little. A killing intent is a killing intent no matter what species is showing it.

with a sigh kakashi agreed. "I understand what you feel, but how are you gonna do it when you're helping me and his on the battlefield?"

"I've got that covered sensei."

kuro extended his right hand and opened his palm upward. he made a gesture of flicking using his middle finger as the main and thumb as support. He molded his fire element chakra just on the tip of his middle finger and thumb and poured a lot of it die to his anger. He searched for his target who was about to runaway from the battle. 'like I said, Not on my watch' kuro spoke in his mind.

"Self taught, Shoka Gijutsu:

Triple F Pistol"

[ AN: FFF pistol stands for Flying Fire Finger pistol. Google didn't help with his result= "Furaingufaiafingāpisutoru". So I settled with Triple F pistol ]

Gato who was about to get on a boat which they used to get on the bridge was suddenly hit by a Flame bullet that was just too fast to avoid, even if he was somehow aware and saw kuro, he still won't be able to avoid it. It was the same as his move afterall, it vanishes.

After the henchmen were all beaten down to the ground Udon, Hana and Iori was exhausted as they went to where kakashi and kuro was.

"Kuro.! What the hell was that? You were just standing with us when we landed then the second I blinked my eyes your already at kakashi's back? was that technique the same as the 4th's flying Raijin Justsu? explain yourself!" she was then joined by the other 2 girls but no words came of their mouth they just nodded and made noise.

"Hmn! Hmn!" Iori and Hana nodding.

With a cold sweat kuro smiled wryly "It's not the same as the 4th's justu. My Jutsu is just a movement like the Raikage's Lightning Armor. However, unlike how the Raikage is able to move continuously almost without a limit. Mine only cover about 5-8 meters. wether I like to continue or not, I can ofcourse stop shorter within the 8 meter distance but the raikage surpasses that range way more. And also 1 more thing. Raikage's armor covers his entire body with Lightning giving him a powerful armor while mine can only cover my hands and fit and I use the fire element instead of lightning"

"I have more explosive speed but a Raikage has uhmm-"

"A speed with more time to continue moving fast." continued by kakashi

"there you have it. Captain Kakashi seems to understand it"

"Amazing!. Just as expected of one of my student.! Still, even if you were able to come up with that. Don't you dare try to hit on me, respect our age gap do you understand?"

"No need to worry about that matter captain. But how did our topic suddenly turned to that direction?"

As if Hana and Iori has the same thinking they blurted out " Maybe sensei is interested in you now kuro. right2x?"

Looking at each other with their last word.

Udon was beet red upon hearing it. "Hey! I didn't even said im interested. In fact I just warned him. You idiots!"

"But you were the one to react and say something about it first, even Iori and I haven't thought that until you said it"

"that's right captain, you definitely said it first.!" seconded by Iori, Hana's comment became even clearer.

Udon's already beet red face is now smoking. "You you yo-" she seemed to have swallowed what she's about to say. Luckily kakashi asked a question this time.

"When you named your jutsu earlier. I couldn't help but notice, you mentioned 'self taught' first. Do you mean you invented this jutsu by yourself?"

That piqued everyone's interest including Naruto and Sakura who just came with sasuke in tow clearly unconscious after the fight with haku. The villagers also arrived to assist but Udon's team has handled the rest just fine.

" Yes, I invented it myself. By pouring my fire element chakra on my fist. That chakra will transfer to the enemies body upon contact and continue to burn until it runs out depending on how much chakra I prepare on my fist. Ofcourse there is also an ignition effect upon contact of my fist to the enemies' body adding more damage to my fist before burning them afterwards"

Everyone's quiet all of a sudden.

"Sugoi!(amazing) , I won't lose to you my best friend. I will definitely surpass you and become the greatest Hokage ever!" A pumped up Naruto was the one to break the ice, which made everyone else laugh at his antics.

Everybody rested at Tazuna's place for the rest of the day. All of them are pretty much tired since the team that arrived was just from a different mission and was quickly dispatched again resulting into them not having any rest. Only kuro seems to be doing fine since he didn't get that much action.

They rested until the next morning and eent back home to konoha. Zabuza was buried on a grave while haku was captured. The executioner's blade was being kept by kuro after an hour of pleading for it from his captain. It was a good thing kakashi deemed him worthy saying " For being able to save my life and create your own fighting style. I will deem you worthy to have the right to own it. I will report it to Hokage sama when we get home. So until then, hold on to it." Kuro was really glad although it's not sure what the Hokage's decision will be. It's still a lot if kakashi is vouching for him. And with that the 2 teams went back to konoha.
