Before Kakashi stood five Asgardians: Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three—Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg.
They had their weapons on hand. Kakashi had fought them before but he had dealt with them in seconds. He could not actually figure out their fighting styles, strengths and weaknesses in that little time.
"Alright, we'll start with a quick spar. You all can come at me with all you've got."
Thor's brows furrowed in confusion.
"At once?"
Kakashi's Sharingan spun to life, his voice firm. "At once, and come at me with the intention to kill."
Thor's thoughts wavered between insult and respect, recalling Odin's fight with Kakashi—a fight that shook Asgard itself.
He knew that Kakashi was not arrogant. He was not like him before he was banished to Midguard by his father. The man had skills, power and the mind to speak such words.
Both his mother and father gave acknowledged the warrior's skills. Who was he to question Kakashi's words?
"Very well, warrior, prepare yourself!" Thor boomed. He gripped Mjolnir, lightning crackling across its surface, and charged. Instead of striking directly, Thor slammed the hammer into the ground. He was trying to catch Kakashi off guard.
A wave of lightning erupted, surging toward Kakashi.
Kakashi's hands flashed through signs. He looked not at all surprised from Thor's move.
'Earth Style: Mud Wall.'
A massive, wide wall of earth rose, absorbing the lightning's brunt. Cracks spiderwebbed across its surface, sparks dancing, but it held.
Kakashi's thoughts analyzed Mjolnir abilities. 'To think that hammer can release lightning like the Kiba blades, one of the Seven Swords of the Mist. And he's not even using his own lightning-aligned chakra to generate it. So much potential wasted.'
His mind flicked to Odin. 'Well, Odin might've been a poor father, but he's clearly not been a good teacher either. Not that I can complain, considering my own track record.'
His thoughts chuckled, recalling Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. 'At least mine sorted it out and saved the world.' He ducked as Mjolnir flew toward him.
Thor grinned, his hand outstretched, feeling confident.
He thought that he had tricked Kakashi as the Mjolnir reversed, rocketing back toward Kakashi's head at blinding speed.
The hammer passed through him. Thor's thoughts faltered. 'Did he used Illusion like Loki's?'
Unaware it was a space-time jutsu, he gripped Mjolnir tighter, his thoughts wary.
Kakashi was almost tempted to appear behind Thor and use his secret nince art. Thosand years of death. But it would be too disrespectful for a God. Maybe, if it was Loki, he would have used it.
The Warriors Three and Sif seized the moment as they saw Kakashi focus solely on Thor.
They moved to flank Kakashi from all four sides, weapons drawn. Kakashi's hands flashed again, 'Let's make it interesting.'
Two shadow clones materialized, their forms solid. The Warriors' thoughts flickered with doubt.
They thought that they were Illusions. Hogun and Volstagg lunged, only to meet chakra-enhanced punches from the clones.
Hogun's gut caved as he sprawled, gasping. Volstagg's massive frame staggered, blood trickling from his lip.
The real Kakashi faced Sif and Fandral, both wielding swords.
He drew his own blade, the White Light Chakra Sabre. His Sharingan spun, deciphering their movements.
Every parry, every feint was cataloged. He easily found out the flaws of their techniques. And after getting a taste of their skills, Kakashi decided to go on the offensive.
He shifted, his blade a blur, weaving between their strikes with effortless grace. Sif's broadsword slashed, aiming for his chest; Kakashi parried, his Sharingan predicting her arc, redirecting her force to throw her off balance.
Fandral thrust, his rapier darting for Kakashi's side, but Kakashi twisted, his blade grazing Fandral's, guiding it away. His movements were a seamless blend of their styles, but sharper, refined.
Sif's thoughts were shocked. 'He's… copying us?' Fandral's thoughts were the same. 'Our techniques—mastered in decades—perfected in seconds?'
It was something that they never thought was possible, no matter how talented a warrior was.
Kakashi's blade danced. He countered Sif's overhead slash, his sword sliding along hers, forcing her to overextend, then struck Fandral's wrist, disarming him momentarily.
Sif's eyes widened, her thoughts awed. 'Odin's beard! Did he just copy our swordsmanship techniques? He's using our style—something that took us decades to master. No… he's not just using it, he's improved upon it. How is this possible?'
Fandral's thoughts echoed her disbelief, his heart pounding. 'He's a monster.'
Kakashi decided to add his own clan technique to the mix.
'Hatake Swordsmanship: First Form: Flash.'
Lightning tingled at his feet, chakra surging through his legs, enhancing his speed to a flicker. Before Sif and Fandral could react, he was behind them, his sword sheathed with a soft click. Their prized Asgardian blades fell apart, sliced cleanly in half, the metal clattering to the ground.
Both looked shocked at the sword handles in their hands.
The shadow clones made short work of Hogun and Volstagg, chakra-enhanced strikes sending them sprawling, bloodied but alive.
Thor, hovering in the air, watched his comrades fall in seconds. 'He didn't even break a sweat.'
He gripped Mjolnir, gaining distance. Kakashi's hands flashed through signs.
'Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu.' A massive stream of fire erupted from his mouth, forming a blazing fireball that roared toward Thor in the sky.
He swung Mjolnir with full power, slamming the fireball into the sky, the flames scattering like a meteor shower.
Kakashi did not mind it though. He had a nostalgic expression on his face underneath the mask.
'The reports said you used this technique against Itachi, Sasuke. You were truly a genius to develop it.'
Clouds formed above, the fireball's heat stirring the atmosphere.
His voice was calm as he playfully looked at Thor. "Well then, Thor, let me show you a pinnacle technique of how to use lightning. Something that was invented by my student."
Lightning erupted across the sky. The Asguardians looked at the sky. Not just the people fighting Kakashi but also everyone near the Asgard Palace.
Thor's voice was a murmur, his eyes wide. "Odin's beard."
