Gai, Lee and Kakashi are taking the lead in fighting the swordsmen of the mist. Kakashi has na agressive look on his face. His gut has a wide cut and he’s losing a lot of blood.

Kakashi: ( Zabuza wounded me just before he fell… I must finish this quick or I will bleed out. I just can’t abandon this fight now, there’s too much on the line.)

Kakashi: Gai, Lee, I’ll handle Mangetsu and Fuguki, I’m quite familiar with they’re water release techniques, also Mangetsu is weak against my lighting element. You handle the rest.

Gai: But Kakashi…

Kakashi: Just do it please. I refuse to die here. I look forward to keep sparing with my old rival.

Gai: Alright then. Lee take my right side. That leaves us Ameyuri, Jinpachi, Jinin and Kushimaro. Lee release four gates. Kakashi can’t hold this fight long

Lee: Gai-sensei consider it done! Lets finish this so I can resume my train. Gate of Opening, release! Gate of Healing, release! Gate of Life, release! Gate of Pain, release!

Gai emulated Lee’s movements. Wind blows as the chakra emanate from the teacher and the student. They have a hellish appearance. They charge the summons. Jinin swings his Kabutowari, the blunt sword that breaks all defense. Lee kicks him on his ribs blowing part of his torso, that quickly reforms. He swings it again and Lee is caught off guard. He makes a deep cut on Lee’s leg; the blood vaporizes instantly.

Lee: Gate of Limit, release!

Gai: LEE, don’t overdo yourself, that’s the fifth gate, it’s your limit!

Gai is hit by a lighting charge coming from Ameyuri’s Kiba, while distracted by Lee. He collapses; Kushimaru makes his move and tries to stich Gai’s limbs, but Gai dodges and lands the Morning peacock. The air ignites with the power and pressure of Gai’s fast punches. Jinpachi appears at Gai’s back, with Shibuki, the explosive sword. Lee appears with raging speed, Jinin in on his trail, and uses Reverse Lotus on Jinpachi. Jinpachi hits the ground at full force. Lee directs at Jinin again, rage across his face.

Lee: It’s the last time you defy Gai-sensei, my hard work will pay off! Gate of View, release!

Gai: ( Six gates?!)

Lee: Gate of Wonder, release!

Gai: LEE! You will suffer severe damage, stop!

Lee: Gai-sensei join me, let’s end this!

As Jinin swings the blunt sword, Lee jumps and applies a dropkick on the chain uniting the axe and hammer sections of the sword, breaking it. It renders the sword useless and Jinin is disarmed.

Gai: Sand Jonin’s, prepare the sealing technique. It’s about to get rough in here. Retreat a little.

Scene changes to Kakashi.

Kakashi: ( Mangetsu, and Fuguki do not possess they’re swords. Samehada is being held by the Eight Tails, and the rest of the swords are being used by the others, except the Executioner’s sword on my hand… Mangetsu’s abilities revolve essecially around water release. So does Fuguki’s.)

Fuguki: Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave.

Kakashi: Earth Release: Earth Style Fissure. Kakashi breaks the ground apart creating a fissure that swallows the massive ammount of water used by Fuguki.

Mangetsu: Water Release: Water Pris…

Kakashi : ( I’ve had enough of this technique) Lighting Release: Lightning Beast Horde Running Technique

Kakashi uses 4 lighting dog-like creatures that run over Mangetsu , severely weakening him, making him unable to liquify. He infuses the executioner’s sword with lighting chakra and charges at Fuguki. Fuguki uses a summoning jutsu. He summons a clear blue aquatic dragon, serpent-like, that towers of the trees around. Kakashi jumps for the dragon and slashes him. The dragon throws him to the ground. The sword is thrown far away.

Fuguki: Daelus, charge.

The dragon roars and charges chakra and water on his mouth. It resembles electric charged water. He fires a powerfull beam at Kakashi, punching a huge hole on his torso. It was a shadow clone. Kakashi is hiding in a tree nearby.

Kakashi: ( I must take out the dragon. Mangetsu is almost recuperated from the lighting.)

Kakashi: Water Release: Twin Water Dragon Bullet Technique

Two water dragons are formed from the remaining water and restrain Daelus, Fuguki’s summon. Kakashi is running fast.

Kakashi: Mangekyou Sharingan!

The dragon is immobilized, Kakashi is standing on it’s head, staring at Mangetsu and Fuguki.

Kakashi: Piercing Lighting Blade

Kakashi seems to have developed a new form of Raikiri. This time, lighting chakra covers not only his hand , but his arm. He penetrates the dragon’s large head from one to the other side, sinking his arm deep, totally tearing apart the dragon’s hardened skin. The dragon is dismissed. Mangetsu is on his feet again. He’s absorbing water, becoming much larger in size.

Kakashi: ( I’m in trouble…)

Kakashi’s face is pale due to the blood loss. Mangetsu looks like a giant water golem, his arms extend and smash the ground, nearly hitting Kakashi. A swirling hole appears on Mangetsu’s chest. It fires a colossal water burst.

Kakashi: Lightning Beast Running Technique

Lighting charges the water column, engulfing Mangetsu that is brought to his knee’s.

Kakashi: Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique

Kakashi hides in the ground, to pull Fuguki and trap him in the terrain, leaving only his head out. He is exausted.

Kakashi: (It’s now or never… I might die but at least I’l take these two down) Kamui!

A void is created in the middle of the enemies, larger than Kakashi’s older performances. Rocks and some trees are dragged into the void as well as Mangetsu and Fuguki. Kakashi succumbs to the blood loss and lack of chakra, and collapses, barely alive. Medical nins hurry for Kakashi.

Scene changes for Lee and Gai. They are close to each other again. Lee furiously punches Jinin, and Gai is dealing with Ameyuri. Kushimaru takes his chances and stiches Lee and Guy’s arms and legs togheter. They are tangled to each other, blood dripping and quickly vaporizing. Jinpachi holds the explosive sword, ready to execute them.

Gai: Lee… I’m so proud of you, you improved beyond my wildest dreams. I must live up to the title of your sensei.

Gai releases the remain gates to seven. Lee and Gai yell, as they emanate more and more chakra. The thread holding them vaporize. Several wounds cover they’re bodies. Ameyuri, Jinpachi, Jinin and Kushimaro take some steps back and take formation.

Gai: Jonins take my and Lee’s backs, our next techniques will trash this area.

Gai: DAYTIME TIGER!

Lee: RISING LION!

Gai’s and Lee’s fists compress the air. Gai’s takes the shape of a gigantic tiger, Lee’s a form of a lion. A massive explosion shreds the summons. When it resolves, The four remaining swordsman are lying on the ground slowly reforming, several limbs are lost, Ameyuri has half of his face missing, several burn marks. The Sand Jonins hurry to the place and commence the cloth sealing. Lee colapses, screaming

Lee: Gai sensei, I’m beyond any kind of hapiness to fight by your side.

Gai: Don’t talk Lee. You’re in bad shape, but you’ll live.

Tears cover Gai’s face, as he too suffers the effects of activating seven of the eight gates.
