Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Shikai, his face impassive but concentrated, felt the pressure mounting. Kakashi, for his part, was slightly breathless, already exhausted after the multiple attacks he had delivered and endured.

— "We don't have the luxury of making mistakes," Shikai murmured, his eyes fixed on Jura.

— "Then let's give it our all," Kakashi replied, despite the sweat beading on his forehead.

Jura leaped in a flash, his speed multiplied by the Hermit Mode. In a split second, he was on Kakashi, his fists reinforced with *Fūton* chakra striking like a war hammer. Kakashi barely parried the attack, feeling Jura's brute force piercing his guard, sending him rolling over several meters.

Shikai intervened, his hands covered in pure electricity, and engaged Jura in a rapid and precise taijutsu duel. The two adversaries exchanged blows reinforced by natural chakra. Each impact resonated like a detonation, digging craters around them.

Shikai closed his eyes for an instant. Calm settled in, and a pulsating green aura emanated from his body. His features became more refined, and a new strength seemed to radiate from him.

— "We'll see if your arrogance can withstand this," Shikai replied.

He placed his hands on Kakashi, quickly executing the Mystic Palm while transferring a massive dose of natural chakra. Kakashi felt the energy filling him, revitalizing his exhausted muscles.

— "It's incredible..." Kakashi murmured, stunned.

In Kakashi's opinion, Shikai had at least three times more chakra than Naruto himself.

Kakashi, boosted, immediately returned to the fray, joining Shikai in a coordinated assault.

Jura, faced with the increased speed of the two ninjas, showed impeccable mastery. Using his Raiton to amplify his speed and his Katon to repel direct assaults, he remained dominant.

Kakashi attempted to trigger a Kamui, aiming to take Jura's arm by surprise. But Jura, anticipating the attack, released a destructive wind gust.

Shikai counterattacked immediately, using his shadows to try to slow down Jura. The black tentacles wrapped around him, but Jura, thanks to his Hermit Mode, broke the shadows with brute force.

Shikai and Kakashi, although synchronized, struggled to gain the advantage.

— "We have to find a weakness, and fast," Shikai murmured, wiping a trickle of blood from the corner of his lips.

Kakashi, at his side, displayed a stoic calm. He discreetly wiped the slight sweat beading on his forehead, analyzing every movement of their opponent. "Then let's do it together," he replied, his voice low and full of fierce determination. An intense glow illuminated his Sharingan.

The two ninjas moved in perfect coordination. Shikai formed rapid mudras, triggering a powerful technique:

— "*Senpo: Dark Knife!*"

A black ray of violet darkness, imbued with raw natural energy, erupted from his palms.

*Senpo: DarkRay*

Shikai sliced through the air with incredible speed, leaving behind him a palpable trail of shadow, like a wound in the fabric of reality.

At the same time, Kakashi invoked a unique technique he had created after observing Jura's diverse techniques:

— "*Raiton: Celestial Lances!*"

Five lances of pure lightning, of blinding intensity, appeared above him, each emitting crackles of brute power. They converged towards Jura with stunning speed, tracing streaks of light in the sky, adding to the pressure exerted by Shikai's attack. The light of the lances, incandescent white, left residual images on the retina.

Jura, trapped in this vise of destructive energy, felt the force of the blow. He understood that he could not survive this combination of frontal attack and raw energy. The darkness of the Dark Knife, which seemed to suck in light and energy, and the blinding brilliance of the Celestial Lances, which threatened to reduce him to ashes, compressed him in an invisible vise.

At the last moment, Jura used a disconcerting technique:

*Raiton: Flash!*

A luminous explosion disrupted Shikai and Kakashi's vision. Before they could react, Jura had already disappeared.

When they regained their vision, they saw Jura standing near the unconscious body of Naruto.

— "You're strong, I'll give you that. But it's the Jinchūriki I want!"

Kakashi and Shikai rushed towards him, but before they could reach him, Jura used his Hiraishin to teleport with Naruto.

Silence fell on the battlefield, broken only by Kakashi and Shikai's heavy breathing.

— "Damn! He got away... and he took Naruto," Shikai growled, clenching his fists.

Kakashi, his features closed, murmured:

— "It's not over. We have to find them, for fear that they will remove Kyubi from Naruto, killing him in the process.

The two ninjas, exhausted but determined, got up with the aim of searching for the slightest clue. And if Jura had already retreated to Ame, as Shikai knew, it was checkmate!
