Shokan's body laid upon the rocks, lifeless. His once snow white hair was soaked within his own blood. His last writing laid before him upon the rocks. Then, Jiyu climbed up upon the rocks, already having an assumption upon what had gone down here. Then, he saw him. Shokan's lifeless body, upon the rocks. Though, he stayed calm and began running towards Kakashi, who he could still see, although barely. He unsheathed his katanas and continued running at Kakashi. Then, Kakashi turned around and unsheathed his blades as quickly as he had previously done. He then blocked Jiyu's blades, with seemingly no effort at all. There was no emotion within his eyes. He was exactly like a broken puppet, lifeless yet somehow still able to move. Rather, a zombie would fit his description. "Why do you people try...?" He asked, forcing Jiyu to the ground with the sheer might of his swing. Jiyu however, did not reply. No, instead he stood back up yet again and ran at the man, once again. However, Kakashi blocked his next swing as well, throwing him to the ground yet again with another swing. "This is boring..." Kakashi exclaimed as Jiyu ran at him. This time, Kakashi swung first. Jiyu however, barely slipped out of the way in time. "Oh...? I see you've improved quite a bit, I mean to be able to dodge one of my swings..." He then swung both of his blades at Jiyu, who ducked and rolled backwards as soon as he could. Then, Jiyu looked deep into Kakashi's eyes and spoke firmly, "Thee who hath killed my mother, Renji, Shokan and Yami... Shalt hereby perish." Why is he speaking in old english... Could it be that this is possibly... A new person? Kakashi asked himself inside his thoughts. Then, Jiyu pointed one of his blades towards Kakashi. He then spoke yet again, "Dement." Then, suddenly his blade turned black. Shit... How the hell does he already know how to use that move... And how the hell can he use it at all, is he actually a summoner?! No, he would've revealed it by now! It's impossible... Unless... Kakashi thought to himself as he glanced over at Shokan who laid dead upon the rocks. That damn cunning Shokan! But that still leaves one question... How the hell does this kid know how to use such a move... It's not even made for a katana... That move is made for a claymore sword... Then, a smirk crawled upon Jiyu's lips as he looked at Kakashi, as if he could read his mind. No... There's no way... Could it actually be...? Kakashi's thoughts were then interrupted as a black beam shot out of the blade at Kakashi, who almost dodged it, but got his side cut. Then, a grin appeared upon Kakashi's lips as well as he looked up at Jiyu, looking him straight in the eye. "So... It really is you... Raifuru.

"My, my... Thou hath found out my secrets so quickly? 'Tis a true shame, aye it is..." He responded, a smirk still upon his lips as he sheathed his blades. "Well? Shall thee and myself hath a battle of swordsmen...?" He asked, raising an eyebrow, to which Kakashi responded with a smile, "Yes, we shall..." He then tossed one of his blades to the now possessed Jiyu, who caught it with a single hand. As soon as his fingers wrapped around it, the two disappeared, only to reappear less than a second later, their blades clashing as they did. Then, they only disappeared again, reappearing meters away from their previous positions. The both of them still had grins upon their lips. I'm glad that my student has gotten taller, but it's still a bit hard to fight with his body... His size is rather challenging. Raifuru, who had possessed Jiyu thought to himself. Then, the two disappeared yet again, making or rather attempting the same move as their previous. As they reappeared yet again, Kakashi called out with a smirk still pondering his lips, "Gah! This will be too boring! Why don't we kick it up a notch?~" The possessed Jiyu nodded with a grin upon his own lips, speaking in an amused tone, "Aye, I do indeed agree!! 'Twill be quite boring if thyself and myself do not take it up!" Then, the two ran at each other with such speed, drawing their blades back a bit, only to slam them against each other no more than a second later, shattering the blades to which the two would release the hilts of said blades.

Kakashi threw a punch which Raifuru swiftly and quickly blocked, catching his fist with a grin. He thrusted his own arm forward, throwing Kakashi back a few feet. He then caught himself with only his feet. He ran at Raifuru, leaping up into the air and drawing his legs back with such swiftness right before thrusting them hard through the air towards Raifuru, who grabbed both of his ankles, swinging him back only to attempt to slam him into the ground. Kakashi however, put his arms forward with great timing, catching himself. Raifuru released Kakashi, as by now if the slam would have succeeded, he would have needed to make a hasty withdrawal and wait for his opponents next attack. Though since he was mistaken, he paid the price and Kakashi slammed one of his heels up into Raifuru's chin, sending Raifuru into the air, to which he decided to flip, landing upon his feet as they made contact with the ground. Kakashi had also preformed a flip, landing carefully although swiftly upon both of his feet, his legs together like they were magnets as he brought his torso back up. Raifuru ran at him, hunched over a bit as he did, drawing his fist back. Then, as Raifuru was within three feet of Kakashi, Kakashi ran at Raifuru as well, lowering his fist, attempting to slam it into Kakashi's abdomen. Though this attempt failed as Raifuru had expected this, flipping over just in time, carefully although quickly executing the process of slamming his elbow into Kakashi's back, making contact with his spine. With this, Kakashi was paralyzed for a short period of time, though he still caught himself with his hands as they made contact with the ground, in response to this he preformed a flip, landing firmly upon both of his feet as he did before.
