dead

"Itachi, you bastard," Shisui muttered under his breath. "Why did you have to tell everyone about this?" Shisui asked.

"I... only told Sasuke... about this, haha" Itachi replied, nervously laughing.

"Is that so...” Shisui said, clenching his jaws.

After Itachi told Sasuke about the fight between Shisui and Kakashi, Sasuke announced it in front of the school because of an argument with Naruto, and then Naruto did his job.

And so almost everyone who knew Kakashi and Shisui came, including many ordinary villagers and Shinobis. But Shisui didn't really care about their presence as much as he cared about the Uchiha clan's head and the Fourth Hokage's. Both Fukagu and Minato were sitting on chairs inside the stadium like it was their daily routine.

Shisui could feel the weight of expectations on his shoulders, unlike, of course Kakashi who was still nowhere to be found.

"Dad, where is Kakashi-Nii-san, why is he still not here?" Naruto asked, sitting on Minato's lap. Beside him was Fukagu and beside Fukagu was standing, Sasuke, and on the other side was Danzo.

"Don't worry Naruto, he will be here soon" Minato replied.

"Hah! He is never coming; I bet he is hiding somewhere scared." Sasuke said, mocking Naruto.

"Watch yourself!" Fukagu said glaring at Sasuke.

"Shut up, Nii-san will definitely come" Naruto replied. While Sasuke just looked away.

"IIIIII FOUND HIMMM" Everyone heard Gai yelled. Gai jumped from the roof of the stadium while holding Kakashi with one hand.

He threw Kakashi near Itachi and Shisui, who were inside the sparring arena and left to report to Minato.

"Mission accomplished, Hokage-sama" Gai said.

"Thanks Gai, for bringing Kakashi here" Minato thanked Gai. "Was just doing my job" Gai replied with a smile.

"That was a new experience but he didn't have to throw me this hard" Kakashi muttered as he got up and stretched his body.

"Are you alright, Kakashi-senpai?" Itachi asked.

"No I am not, I told you not to tell anyone about the duel." Kakashi said smiling with one eye while clenching his fist.

"But never mind I guess, let's just start already" Kakashi continued, before even giving Itachi a chance to explain himself.

"Sorry, I made you wait" he said to Shisui.

"It's alright" Shisui replied.

As the two shinobi stepped into the sparring arena, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew he was going to fight Hatake Kakashi, but he didn't expect it to become such a big deal. He could see the curious looks on the faces of his fellow Uchiha clan members and the other Konoha shinobi who had come to watch the match. He cursed Itachi under his breath.

Kakashi could see the Uchiha clan head staring at him with his hawk-like eyes, and beside him he saw his former or soon-to-be student little Uchiha Sasuke standing confidently. Kakashi simply smirked.

"BEST OF LUCK NII-SAN" Naruto yelled, gaining Kakashi and everybody else's attention.

"IF YOU WIN, DAD WILL TREAT US TO RAMEN" He continued.

"Please shut up Naruto", Minato covered Naruto's mouth with one hand and tilting his own head a little in an apologetic way.

"I DON'T WANT RAMEN, GIVE ME MONEY" Kakashi yelled back.

Meanwhile, Minato chose not to answer and just covered his face with one hand in embarrassment.

Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui faced off against each other in the middle of the battle arena. Both were well-known in the Shinobi world and the air was thick with excitement as they took their fighting stances.

Kakashi started things off by launching a flurry of kicks and punches at Shisui, who gracefully dodged each attack. Shisui responded with a series of kicks of his own, each one faster and more precise than the last. However, Kakashi managed to block all of them.

Unbothered, Kakashi charged back at Shisui with renewed vigor, throwing a powerful roundhouse kick at his head. Shisui spun out of the way, then launched himself into the air with a powerful jump kick, aiming for Kakashi's head. Kakashi blocked it with his arm, but the force of the impact sent him back several feet.

"You're good" Kakashi said.

"And so are you" Shisui replied, nodding his head.

With that, they charged at each other once again. This time with weapons, Kakashi used a normal Kunai whereas Shisui used his Katana. Their weapons clashed together, producing sharp ringing sounds with each impact. Sparks flew as metal met metal, and the two combatants continued to push each other to their limits. The onlookers watched with bated breath, impressed by the skill and precision of the two fighters.

Shisui's mastery of the Sharingan didn't just allow him to read his opponent's movements but also to read the opponent's potential. He could feel that Kakashi was holding back and he also didn't like the fact that he wasn't even using his Sharingan.

"Let's go serious," Shisui muttered to himself as he vanished from his place, leaving everyone surprised at his speed. Shisui appeared in front of him, moving so fast that even Kakashi was surprised.

'Wow, no wonder he was famous' Kakashi thought to himself.

But no way was Kakashi going to let him show off just like that. Kakashi vanished as well, moving with a speed and grace that only the most skilled ninja could achieve. Shisui couldn't help but smirk, He had never seen anyone move that fast. He had always thought that he was the fastest ninja in the village, but now he was having doubts.

But he wasn't going to give up that easily. Shisui moved again, disappearing and reappearing at a different angle, ready to slice Kakashi with his Katana, but unimpressed, Kakashi blocked it with his Kunai and pushed Shisui easily with his strength. Shisui's eyes widened in surprise.

'He is not just fast but also incredibly strong, he really is something else' Shisui thought to himself. But one fact was still bothering him was that Kakashi was still not using the Sharingan. Shisui was also an Uchiha after all.

Shisui took a deep breath, deactivating a Sharingan and closed his eyes. Kakashi stood in front watching him with a curious expression. Kakashi knew what was coming.

Shisui opened his eyes as his Sharingan spinned wildly. In an instant; he disappeared, moving so fast that he became a blur. He was using the Body Flicker technique - a jutsu that allowed him to move at incredible speed that normal human wouldn't be able to see. Almost everyone who was present in the stadium was witnessing the Infamous Uchiha Shisui using his body flicker technique. But Kakashi gave no reaction along with Itachi. He reappeared behind Kakashi, his Katana drawn and ready to strike. His movements were fluid and effortless.

Kakashi's eyes widened in surprise as he saw Shisui's sudden increase in speed. He could say he was very impressed.

Shisui grinned in triumph as he landed a powerful hit on Kakashi, catching him off guard. Kakashi stumbled backwards as the floor cracked because of the incredible strength, his surprise turning into a smirk as he realized what had just happened.

Everyone in the stadium cheered for Shisui, even Fukagu couldn't help but feel excited as he saw the young Uchiha standing confidently in front of Kakashi.

"What are ya all cheering about, I am still standing, you shitheads" Kakashi said in an arrogantly lazy tone as he pulled his headband up, exposing his 3 tomoe Sharingan.

Fukagu observed Kakashi and his Sharingan, and now for some reason he felt that Shisui was not going to win this match. "I never knew, that Hatake was arrogant", Fukagu said.

"Well, he can be like this sometimes" Minato replied with a smile. He was actually surprised. Along with Itachi.

Everyone else in the stadium was either quiet because of Kakashi or talking about him being arrogant.

But Shisui was feeling overwhelmed. He was even ready to fight to the death.

Suddenly, he heard a rustling behind him. He turned around, kunai in hand, but saw no one. He frowned in confusion - had he imagined it?

And then he felt it. A sudden rush of wind, and then a blur of motion. He barely had time to react as Kakashi Hatake appeared in front of him, his eyes wide open like a crazy psycho.

Shisui was taken aback. He tried to block Kakashi's attack, but he was too slow - Kakashi's kunai sliced through the air and struck him in the side. Shisui gritted his teeth in pain, 'How the hell did he get faster' Shisui said to himself.

But he didn't give up. He used his Body Flicker technique to disappear and reappear behind Kakashi, ready to strike again and again from different angles. But Kakashi was ready for him. He used his own Body Flicker technique and appeared in front of Shisui before he could even blink.

Now Shisui was caught off guard - he had never expected Kakashi to use his own technique against him. He barely had time to react as Kakashi launched another attack, his kunai flashing in the sunlight.

Shisui dodged to the side using the body flicker technique again, but Kakashi followed him. After all Kakashi too had the Sharingan.

The two ninja continued to clash, moving so fast everywhere that it was almost impossible for anyone else to follow. All the rest could see was two shadows surfing here and there and heard the sound of metal clashing.

Fukagu had to activate his own Sharingan to see Kakashi and Shisui's movement, but even he could barely keep up. The other Uchihas did the same, including Itachi.

Minato too couldn't help and used his perfect Toad Sage Mode just to watch the two of the fastest Konoha’s Shinobi going serious against each other.

If Kakashi and Shisui could use their best Justsu’s the battle wouldn’t go this long, but the Hokage forbade it as this was originally going to be a friendly duel but now it was different. Both the men were now overwhelming each other, moving swiftly, trying to bite each other. It was now the battle of speed.

Suddenly, Kakashi jumped back away and so did Shisui. Everybody else cheered as they could see them finally.

Kakashi looked at his kunai holding it tightly and just as he opened his palm, the Kunai shattered in pieces. Kakashi watched it as his lips grew into a broad grin under his mask.

Shisui’s Katana was no good either, it looked like it was also about to break anytime.

Shisui gripped his Katana tightly before he threw it on the floor as his Sharingan started spinning again and turned into a different pattern, and so did Kakashi’s.

Everybody was shocked as Kakashi revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan. The Konoha Shinobis, the Uchiha clan members including Itachi and Fukagu, stood frozen in disbelief. Only Minato and few ANBUs who were present during the Nine-tails attack knew about Kakashi’s Mangekyou Sharingan but they were told to keep it secret.

Shisui too was taken aback. He had never heard of anyone outside the Uchiha clan possessing the Mangekyou Sharingan. And yet there it was staring back at him with an intensity that he could not ignore. Even Shisui’s Mangekyou Sharingan was supposed to be a secret but since he was an Uchiha not many people cared, excluding the ones who had no idea what Mangekyou Sharingan was.

For a moment, the two of the strongest in the village stood facing each other, their Mangekyou Sharingan locked in a silent battle. Everyone held their breath, wanting to see what would happen next.

Shisui was obviously going to use Kotomatsukami and Kakashi knew it but he still looked directly into Shisui’s eyes but before they could do anything, every Shinobi who was present in the stadium stepped in to stop them including Minato.

Minato stood in front of Kakashi as the rest of the Konoha Shinobis surrounded him, excluding Uchihas, as they and Fukagu stopped Shisui from doing anything else.

It was clear that letting these two continue would be a big mistake.

Meanwhile, Danzo just sat in silence observing both Kakashi and Shisui. Besides him, were Naruto and Sasuke both worried.

Minato and Fukagu both knew what was going to happen now. They both called for an emergency meeting as Asuma announced that the battle was a draw.

Everyone cheered, still amazed by the fact that they liked whatever happened even though they didn’t understand anything.
