Once Shinobi, Now Hero

Chapter 28: Escape

"Hatake," his voice was low, almost a whisper. "Kakashi, child, I beg of you to stand down. You won't be in trouble, I'll prevent it. No one will hurt you without my say."

Kakashi couldn't contain himself after hearing that, and a chuckle slipped out of his masked face. All Might grew a look of confusion.

"This is serious," he said with urgency. "This is no joke, Kakashi. You've broken out and you've hurt people."

Now they were blaming him. Those idiots got in his way. They only had themselves to blame. "I warned them. They knew what I was going to do. And I'm warning you too, All Might. I'll hurt you if you try to stop me. I'm done playing this cat and mouse game with weaklings."

All Mights' brows dipped. "What are you talking about, Young Hatake?"

Kakashi couldn't even get his next words out before the crowd of heroes came to All Might's side.

"All Might? We're here to support you." One of the first ones to make it to him said.

"No, don't! You will all be hurt. Get back and focus on getting civilians to safety!"

"Too late!" Before anyone could react to those words from All Might, the ground smashed apart from a force Kakashi was familiar with. It felt like another All Might just touched down. Only more deadly. The smell of blood hit his nose, and his eyes narrowed.

One of the female heroes screamed in horror, and a collective gasp filled the crowd as the dust cleared away and blood and guts from crushed heroes littered the street. In the middle of it, with blood leaking down his body was a man Kakashi would've thought to be some type of freak with large muscles on the outside of his skin. But this was another world, where freaks were celebrated.

There was no celebration this time.

The man around, looking at All Might with a bloodthirsty grin. "ALL MIGHT! I'VE COME TO CRUSH YOU!"

"You villain!" The giant hero yelled, halfway turning toward the nearly equally giant. Kakashi recognized that All Might hadn't fully committed to the idea of going after the villain.

One of the heroes sent out a war cry as she rushed forward, her hand turning into stone and growing 3 times the size of a normal hand. "This is for my partner, you monster!"

The villain salivated at the mouth by her attack and reeled his fist back. He let out an animalistic yell and threw his fist. They clashed, the force enough to break the concrete beneath them, but it was immediately apparent who was stronger. The man laughed and, only a fraction of a second later, her arm was sent flying back completely detached from her body. She didn't have the time to recover from the shock and pain as her face was smashed into the ground, blood splattering along the concrete.

She didn't get back up.

"Who's next?" The man challenged, laughing sadistically.

"No!" All Might yelled. "Everyone get back! I'll handle this!"

If All Might wasn't going to chase him, he'd escape. But the man still hadn't fully committed to fighting the man, that meant he was conflicted. Kakashi needed to apply pressure.

"So, what will you do?" Kakashi makes sure his voice is as condescending as possible. "Will you go after that beast, or will you pursue after me?" He began to slowly back away. "You're the number one hero, right? Surely you can deal with both problems at once."

"Hatake, please-"

Kakashi heard a blast of noise from behind him and instinctively leapt into the air. Performing a backflip midair, the Sharingan allowed him to see a bullet pass by as slow as a turtle could move. The source; the detective.
