(Ken POV - Konoha Year 38 - Battlefield)
I panted after the chakra-exhausting jutsu, almost collapsing right then and there if not for Orochimaru.
"What was that?" Orochimaru had wide eyes. "How did you have that much chakra?"
I gave him a tired smile, "A magician never reveals his secrets."
Suddenly, as the water cleared, many bodies were revealed. Most had drowned or died upon impact. The Suna shinobi and Iwa ninja in the area all drowned.
In the center of it, where Chiyo and the Third Kazekage were, a black orb stood and was slowly dissolving, revealing the tired face of the Third Kazekage, and the pale Chiyo, struggling to stand Chiyo.
"Retreat!" The Kazekage called to the few remaining Suna ninjas, his voice echoing across the battlefield.
Not only did the Sunagakure ninjas retreat, but even the Iwagakure ninjas retreated.
The Amegakure ninja, however, charged forward against the now overwhelming number of Konoha ninja.
"Bunch of rain-headed idiots…" I whispered in exhaustion.
"For the Rain!" "Kill those Konoha monkeys!" "For lord Hanzō!" Shouts from the Ame ninja erupted at the charge.
The Konoha ninja charged right back, completely overwhelming the now small Iwagakure army.
"For the leaf!" "For the Third Hokage!" "For the will of fire!" I sighed at the chants of the Konoha ninja.
Tembo curls both Orochimaru and me into his trunk and lets us down onto the ground. I pat his trunk affectionately. "Thank you, Tembo, you can go no-"
I got interrupted by a kunai, which suddenly impaled itself into Tembo's leg. He trumpeted and unsummoned himself.
"Tembo!" I suddenly whip around and see a man in a blue Yukata, wearing an Amegakure headband on his head. He had a scar over his face and a twisted snarl, holding a kunai in his right hand.
"Kawarimi-no-Ken, my name is Kenji Watanabe, for the Amegakure shinobi you have killed, today I will avenge them by killing you with my own hand."
I frowned and took out my kunai. I was low on chakra, but depending on the ninja in front of me's strength, Orochimaru and I should be able to fight him.
"Ken, you are low on chakra. Let me handle him," Orochimaru spoke up.
"No, we do not know what he is capable of. Let me help," I stood straight up and forced down a soldier pill.
I get into a position despite my burning muscles and my brain yelling at me to stop.
"Beware, Ken of Konoha! Orochimaru! Today is your death day!"
The fight began with him charging straight at us. Orochimaru went left while I went right, and then the figure... disappeared?
I stumbled as a voice came from behind us, "You can not switch what you can not see." I felt a sharp sting on my back. I spun around and didn't see anyone.
"What the hell!" I let out
Orochimaru looked calm as he scanned around. "I had a suspicion; this confirms it as true. Ken is from the Watanabe clan of Amegakure, who can manipulate their opponents' sight, making them invisible to their enemy."
"Like the Transparent Escape Technique?" I question as we go back to back, spinning around.
"No, stronger, you quite literally can not see him or anything he wants until he allows it. The only counter would be a byakugan."
I grit my teeth. If that was so, how would we know when he would attack? When he wouldn't? Constant paranoia.
Suddenly, I felt a stinging pain in my leg, and I let out a grunt, "Shit!"
Blood poured out of my leg, and I stumbled. An earth dome surrounded me, separating me from Orochimaru.
"Shit," I couldn't see anything, no, it was dark, no light at all. "Orochimaru!?"
"Ken, stay still, try to protect yourself. I am going to find a Hyuga to help us."
'Dammit, I probably won't have that much time.'
I sighed in defeat, "Ok, hurry up."
I heard footsteps behind me and whirled around with my kunai, but missed, only to get kicked forward, making me stumble.
The soldier pill had barely recovered any of my chakra; I could only do at least 2 more substitutions, never mind even summoning another elephant.
I froze, my hearing locking in on the slight whistle of air, and I used a substitution with a wooden log, stumbling a few feet away in the dome from the chakra loss.
A sound of a crack came from the direction where I substituted, a kunai revealing itself in the wood, and I widened my eyes. 'Of course, he can only make stuff invisible if it is connected to his body. How do I use that?'
My gaze snapped behind me at the sound of running. I took a chance and threw my body left.
I fell on my back and rolled left before another kunai was thrown, revealing itself.
Another kunai was thrown, this time landing as it was thrown into my left shoulder. I let out a scream of pain before turning.
I grab a fistful of mud from under my hands and throw it in the direction the kunai was thrown, seeing it splash onto nothing mid air and disappearing, I charged right at the direction, with my kunai.
I stab forward and hit something, blood gushing out mid-air. I didn't feel satisfaction or accomplishment; I didn't even know where I hit, the neck? The arm? The leg?
I felt the pressure of the kunai pull away, but I didn't let it go further. I made my right hand go forward, gripping for anything, only for something sharp to go right through my hand.
I gritted my teeth and pushed my hand through the sharp object, ignoring the pain, and clamped down on the hand attached to the weapon.
I moved my kunai forward in rapid movements, stabbing over and over into the person I could not see, blood gushing out constantly.
When the ninja stopped resisting, I stopped, panting, as the form of Kenji Watanabe revealed itself, with multiple stabbings in his back. I let go of his body as it fell backward.
The dome crumbled, I felt my lungs burning, I wanted to fall over and go to sleep, my head ringing and eyes strained.
Orochimaru came back with no Hyuga in tow, 'Of course, no Hyuga would come, damn bastards.'
Orochimaru looked surprised, like he was sure I'd die. "Ken… you're alive."
"Really? Didn't notice."
I tried to move forward, but immediately fell over and everything went dark.
(3rd POV)
Ken Tokitō rested back in Konoha's main camp. The "Battle of Amegakure" had spread through the Shinobi World.
When the Kazekage had returned to Sunagakure, he officially called back all troops from every front in the war. Sunagakure had officially pulled out of the war, marking the first nation to surrender.
He had issued a 2 Million Ryo bounty on Ken Tokitō, marking him as an S-Ranked Threat when having his summon, deeming him as the "Bane of Sunagakure."
Meanwhile, Iwagakure and Amegakure stayed in the war, sending more and more troops to protect their fronts.
Kirigakure and Kumogakure had stayed silent, despite the news; they did not seek to join the war.
In Konohagakure, the news of Ken Tokitō had spread, making several elders turn heads, and people looked at his family with high expectations.
Kai Tokitō had breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what his father accomplished, but his questions in his head ran more rampant.
'Kenji Watanabe, ' he thought as he ate dinner, Masuyo Tokitō smiling with joy as she ate. 'A man who had never appeared in canon, and the person who was supposed to kill my father'
'..did I alter time? Did I alter his destiny in some way? Was he really supposed to die?'
Kai Tokitō had these thoughts for the rest of the night...all the way till daybreak.
(??? POV - ??? - ???)
I kept skimming ahead, I had to hurry, before they found me I had to hurry, had to send the message, had to warn them.
'But no, he is too young as of now, not yet, a few more years ahead...But, no, no, 9 is too much. A little less, yes, that should be long enough, only 5 more years.'
'5 More years'
