Kakashi The Hunter

Part X Four

Kakashi pov.

I woke up to the sound of pounding footsteps. Thank you, Hatake Genes, for the enhanced hearing. I sigh. I'm not going to get any sleep if I don't figure out what that is. I walk through the hallways, towards the noise, until I reach an open door. Killua and Gon are running around Netero, trying to get a ball. Killua stops and looks towards me. Gon notices and stops, too, causing Netero to stop as well.

"Oh, hey, Kakashi. What's up?" I eye smile. 

"I couldn't sleep. Your footsteps woke me up. What are you doing anyway?" 

Netero smiled at me. "Sorry about that. They were just trying to get the ball from me. Then they would become hunters on the spot." Gon nodded. 

"Then I could find my dad!" I smiled again. 

"Well, good luck with that."

I was about to walk away when Gon called out to me again. "Wait! Kakashi, why don't you help us?" 

"Ask the old man. It's his call." 

"I don't see why not. Though he will have to try on his own first." 

I sigh once again and take my Jounin vest off as well as my black long-sleeved shirt. Leaving me in the shirt connected to my mask and my shirtless sleeves. My Anbu tattoo was on display, but I decided to keep my headband on. I wouldn't be needing my Sharingan.

Once I was ready the old man signaled for me to start. I made a Ram hand sign and shunshined behind him. Before I could reach the ball, Netero spun around and punched towards my face. Before the hit could connect, I pushed off into a back handspring and tried to kick him under his chin. The Chairman managed to block the kick but he wasn't expecting to have another kick aimed towards his side.

The kick pushed him back a bit but didn't do any real damage. I'm holding back here. I don't want to kill him. " Good try." 

"Who said my turn was over?" A shadow clone I had made previously silently jumped from the ceiling behind him. Before it could grab the ball, Netero moved his arm forward, right into the path of my arm. He panicked and threw the ball to his other hand. My shadow clone poofed into a white smoke screen, and I signaled Gon and Killua to take my place.

Gon aimed a kick towards Neteros face, who dodged. But Gon used his boot to get a little more length. While he was distracted, Killua jumped for the ball, but Netero dropped the ball and balanced it with his foot. Killua got back up while Gon ran towards Netero, headbutting him in the stomach. Gon winced but ran in to do it again. Netero threw the ball high into the air as he jumped over Gon. He ran into a wall.

Before Netero could reach the ball in mid-air, Killua pushed it away. The old man grabbed Killua's foot before he could go after it and pulled him down. Then Netero himself went after the ball, but before he could reach, Gon's other shoe hit it away. Both Killua and Gon dove for the ball, but Netero used all the force in his leg and reached it first. Causing both the boys to hit a wall.

Killua huffed as Gon groaned. "It's useless. We're not going to get the ball. He didn't even use his left hand or right leg. Only when Kakashi tried." Netero smiled. 

"Oh, so you noticed? I thought I was hiding it well." Killua shook his head and gathered up his stuff. 

"Whatever, let's go, Kakashi, Gon." Gon shook his head violently. 

"No! I might not be able to get the ball, but my new goal is to get him to use his other arm!" Killua nodded. 

"Good luck with that."

I decided to go with Killua. Maybe I can go back to sleep. I picked my clothes up but didn't put them back on. I followed Killua down the hall. "Why didn't you keep going? You were super close, you know." He shrugged.
