Non stop fighting, non stop fighting for ten minutes. Hagoromo and Kill traded punches blow for blow. If Kill threw a roundhouse kick,Hagoromo would block and throw a wide left swing,Kill would dodged and counter attack to which Hagoromo would block and attack again. A novice would witness this battle and they say they were exactly equal and the battle would go on forever. Others more experience would say slowly but surely, Kill was getting closer and closer at landing his attacks. Once he did, it would be fatal.

Hagormo notices this, trying to come up with a plan to defeat him. No matter the scenario,Kill would come out on top. Kill notices the small space of thinking Hagoromo had and drop kicks Hagoromo right in the stomach.

Hagoromo spews out blood before tumbling to the ground." Did you know each Yohei have a special flame Hagoromo?" Kill asks. "For instance, I can manipulate sound. Doesn't seem like much but I just sent a sonic pulse into your body which caused internal bleeding."

"We have different flames?" Hagoromo manages to stand up as he holds his stomach in pain." Since when?!"

Kill grins at his pitiful opponent." You would've developed yours if you stayed with us. Such a shame."

"Why didn't Urahara-san teach me this?! Maybe that's why he can instantly grow their muscle fibres."

"It's time I finished you and take you back for extraction. Remember this?"
Kill claps his hands together before separating leaving a white orb in between.

Hagoromo's eyes widen. "That same move?"

"No just a little different. Instead of using just plain ol' chakra. I'm going to use natural energy. Take this! White cannon!"

Hagoromo curses, guess he has to go all out! Hagoromo removes his Leaf wristbands." Kill, well done. You've pushed me to the edge. "As he removes the last wristband, a dark red aura envelopes him. Hagoromo stops the massive beam with one hand and deflects it upwards.

"What?! How!"

"But starting from now." Hagoromo charges with blinding speed. He looks at Kill's surprised face with his crimson glowing eyes. It reminded of the eyes of a determined wild beast . Hagoromo punches Kill right in the cheek sending him flying into a tree.

Kill slowly picks himself up from the destroyed tree debris scattered across the floor. He's reluctantly pulls a shard of wood from his right arm without wincing in the slightest. He throws the blood covered large splinter onto the floor. Kill begins to laugh hysterically. So, just because you've gotten stronger you think you can talk to me like that? You're ignorant and now that will be your downfall."

Hagoromo remains stone faced in his form as he watches Kill drastically power up. White flames surround Kill and began to peel of his skin." You think because you've gotten stronger you can look at me like that? Let me show you what I've been doing for two years." Kill's skin completely deteriorates leaving being resembling a human but was composed of only pure natural energy.

Hagaromo inspects his opponents shape and figure. Everything about his form.... Reminded him of his Dad's form. Only instead of being red, he was pure white." Shutoku, total mastery over Natural energy that you have the ability to customise and make your own type of flame. That's our Kekki Genkai. Not that "chakra hands" or whatever you call it. I guesse you could say this level two of our Kekki Genkai. Now then."

Kill shoots a concentrated white flame at Hagoromo to which Hagoromo saw through. He lifts his hand catch the quick flame." You think you can beat me with such feeble flames-". Before making contact with Hagoromo's hand, the flame disappears and a large blast of sound shocks through Hagoromo. The intense sound is so loud, it rips Hagoromo's sleeve to pieces and makes his hand go numb. He leaps back trying to process what happened.

"You like that? Because there's more!" Kill raises his second arm and together, they begin shooting white flames at Hagormo rapidly. Hagoromo's counters by shooting his own dark flamed bullets, each one that collides, there's a loud sound boom that makes Hagoromo want to cover his ears but he manages to continue shooting." Sooner or later, you're going to be a millimetre off your shot a d one of my white flames will get you. When that happens it'll game overt for you." Misfired shots tear through branches and trunks like it was nothing. It seems nature was suffering more than Kill or Hagoromo. He needed a plan, and fast. He'd never really practised chakra gun in awhile ( he had to rename that move by the way) and his limit was still 64 bullets.

32..... He could ask for power from Kenichi but he doubted he would help, he would probably cuss him out for asking for help and would gladly die if a spineless weakling like him lingered on in this world.
44..... Maybe Kaguya. No, it would take time to switch Kenichi to her and time was what he was lacking if extremely.
53.......... No chance escaping, if one of those flames hit him he would be immobilised for sure......
60..... His only chance was chakra. He learned one jutsu that may give him a window of opportunity....
64.

Hagoromo drops to one knee panting hard. He quickly ignores the rapid beating if his heart and performs hand signs."Earth style! Mud wall," He slams his hands hard into the ground and a thick brown pillar springs from the ground blocking the incoming bullets. Kill stops shooting to allow the huge cloud of dust to settle." Tech, a Yohei resulting to chakra. You have no pride, well it looks like the one that got you hit in a unlucky spot."

The wall crumbles to pieces revealing Hagoromo with his head hung low. Only one flame got through but it hit right into his chest. He wasn't fast enough." Let me guess, it feels like a huge jolt if vibration went through your body and it was like a jumpstart fir a car except it's the opposite? You probably feel you're heartbeat getting fainter?" Kill slowly breathes in and out,parts of his skin begin to come back to his body with every breath." I've never had to use that for longer than a minute. I commend you and would applaud you if you weren't Hagoromo." When he finally returns to his form he stomps over to Hagoromo's limp stature. The aura once surrounding him was gone.He grabs him by the chin and pulls it up for his inspection." You were supposed to be the successor?! And this is all you got? Surely you've got to have more fighting spirit, you're a Yohei fir crying out loud!" Hagoromo coughs a heap of warm blood into Kill's face trying desperately to breathe.

"Bastard!" Kill throws him on the floor and begins kicking him in the gut." This is for that low blow from before! And this is for betraying us!" As the strong kicks come one after another, Hagoromo's conscious begins to fade away.

He tried. He was arrogant and thought he could take on any Yohei by himself. He didn't even realised just like him, they were training as well. The difference in power was now obvious. Damn....... He didn't even complete one mission with Naruto. Naruto...... What would he say? He probably just go full nine tails and rage on Kill. Unfortunately, he didn't have that asset.

"Dumbass! You just gonna quit!? That's the easy way out!"

"The easy way doesn't seem so bad right now Naruto..."

"And what about the three way battle you Sasuke and I were supposed to have? You're not gonna live for that? What about Sakura? I'll kill you right now if you don't stand up now, defeat this good for nothing and apologise to her."

"Sorry, I don't have the same drive as you. I'll just lay back here and die. I don't feel any pain here. Let the Yohei do what they with me."

"You ain't makin any sense bro! You do have a drive! You want peace right, a utopiad right?"

"It's utopia idiot."

"Whatever, who's gonna fight that beady you saw in your vision if you die!? If you haven't noticed. You're carrying millions of lives on your back looking up to you idiot! Now stand! Stand! Who are you and what's you're dream?"

"Heh, I hate the way you turn a negative situation into a good one."

"Answer my question!"

" I am Hagoromo Yohei! I'll bring peace to this world even if it kills me!" In the darkness of his mind Hagoromo sees a bright light. Going against every cliche he'd seen as a kid, he drifted towards it. Naruto appears behind him grinning with achievement." That's it! Now get out there and whoop some ass" Naruto shoves Hagoromo making hi, speed towards the bright glow.

********
"Take this and that-." Kill stops his rant as the body he'd been kicking for a good minute suddenly springs to life. Hagoromo still laying on the floor, catches Kill's foot." I don't mind your shitting on me like this and beating me to a pulp but..."
Kill's eyes widen at the unexplainable marvel before him." I ain't letting you shit on the millions of people's lives I carry with me! No way in hell!" Hagoromo lifts his head to look directly up at Kill. His eyes were full of determination, but that's not what Kill was wary of...... That fact that they were black except for a red tomoe in each eye scared him more.

"Sh-sharingan?"
******
"How did you get the Sharingan? This makes no sense, you're a Yohei aren't?!" Kill asks completely baffled by Hagoromo's awakened Kekki Genkai. He tries to free his foot from Hagoromo's grasp but it only makes him squeeze harder.

He slowly picks himself up from the ground, he ignored his quaking muscles begging him to rest and with all his might,he shoves Kill falls backwards onto the floor." I don't know the what the hell you're talking about but." He runs at Kill who's is scrambling to his feet. "I'll take you down for the sake of everyone!" He focuses energy into the heel of his foot and slams it into the ground causing the earth around him to break apart. The kick gets Kill in the stomach momentarily winding him.

Hagoromo lifts his leg up for another monstrous kick. Kill is able shoot himself away from the attack by propelling his body with his flames which was coming from his right palm." Whats with you and body blows?" Kill moans holding his stomach which has been viciously attacked twice I the exact same spot. Let's finish this quickly Kill, I'm losing blood as we speak so I'd like to finish this now." Kill doesn't respond, he just continues to kneel down and hold his stomach trying to fight the pain." What's wrong? Go back into that level two form thing so we can fight." Kill again does not respond.
"Hurry up and change."

"I can't idiot!" He finally snaps back." Jukatsu needs perfect concentration and a capable body.thanks to you, I'll probably mess up and kill my self if I try it now ".
"What?! The move is that dangerous? And you still use it?" Hagormo questions, a move that requires complete concentration would be useless in battle." Plus I haven't fully mastered it, I can only use it for a few minutes." Kill slams his fist into the ground." Damn!and I wanted to completely obliterate you! Well, there's more than one way to beat you." Still kneeling down, his fists begin to glow like two white orbs.
"Let's do this Kill."
"Don't have to tell me idiot!"

They both charge in like enraged bulls, Kill throws a left swing. Hagoromo parries and throws a right punch to the face, Kill blocks with his right fist and slams his left fist into Hagormo's left abdomen causing Hagoromo to cough out blood." Aim for your opponents weakness. That's textbook Hagoromo you should know this!" Kill goes for another ouch to the face but feints and aims for the left abdomen again. Hagormo skilfully dodges and jabs Kill in the nose." Know your opponent and predict their actions. That's textbook too Kill." Kill must've been telling the truth because suddenly, he could read all of Kill's moves. He didn't have time to figure out how he got the Sharingan, now he needed to consider it a blessing from God and use it to his advantage. The only down side is although he can predict Kill's moves, he could only react properly to 60% of the attacks because of the blinding speed.

Kill quickly shakes it off and quickly thrusts his palms into Hagoromo's left shoulder, a deafening sound reverberates in the air and the sonic boom dislocates Hagormo's shoulder." How's that feel?! Payback-". Before Kill can enjoy watching his opponent suffer, Hagormo retaliates by head butting Kill as hard as possible. "Ow! That hurt you idiot!" Kill tries to tend to his bleeding forehead as Hagoromo holds his shoulder in pain. Both fighters shakily take back their fighting stances. Kill throws a sloppy right hook and connects with Hagoromo's cheek, Kill regains his balance having almost fallen while Hagormo throws another right straight putting his whole weight into it. But Kill doesn't fall.Kill lands another sound blasting punch to the stomach, but Hagoromo's sucks it in and manages to keep his feet firmly on the floor. Both know , once they get their opponent on the floor it's their win. They both were out of energy so the battle would be decided on who has the stronger fighting spirit.

A devastating right straight to the face.
An ear splitting loud blow to the stomach.
Agin and again, they both they take each other's hits and give the same look." Is that all ya got?! I ain't losing to a punch like that!"

As the repetitive fight continues, their flames get smaller and smaller. Until they both flicker around at the slightest gust of wind, before extinguishing for good. Kill goes once again for a body blow, Hagoromo parries knocking Kill off guard."Like I'd fall for that for the 68th time!" His legs wanted to quit so bad, his heart would choose death than to continue this exhausting fight. This was his chamce, his last and final one. So his muscles cooperated for one last attack. With an undying will of determination, Hagoromo jumps forward not letting me Kill go for a second. Kill's body falls backwards and Hagoromo follows with it."GO TO HELL!!!! Woaaaarrrghhhh!" Hagoromo pumps his fist into his face and drives into the cold hard ground. Kill's pupils leave his eyes as his who,ebony makes a loud thud dropping motionless on the floor. Hagoromo stares in awe as his legs are either side of Kill's torso, his arm drop to his sides satisfied with their job. He slowly raises his head to the clear sky, seems like his neck still worked properly. With a deep breath, he let's out a huge roar pride, he could taste the stale irony taste of dry blood in his mouth and his voice was extremely horse. He did it, he won. He beared Kill and protected his friends. Although he won't be if much use when he returned back to his team, if he could return back. I guess he'll have to leave beating the Akatsukito Naruto and the others. By now,they either all lost and died, or they've won and are out looking or him. Hopefully it's the latter. I guess he'll just stay here and allow his body to rest-.

Kill suddenly springs up and slams his hands on Hagoromo's ears. No! He's still able to fight! Kill's hands ignite ferociously."Sonic boom!" The shock itself causes Hagoromo to fall unconscious, blood freely spews from his ears and runs down his neck. He falls onto the floor stone dead. Kill manages to push Hagoromo off him." Good grief, you would've won if I hadn't used my life energy as fuel for my flames." Kill leans onto a nearby tree and uses it as support ." Lucky you, I'm too beat up to drag myself back to the base let alone you. Consider it a prize for driving me to the absolute breaking point." He walks away falling into tree to tree to keep himself upright.

"See you around, bro."
