Kakashi Masters All Elements, Rewrites the Ninja World for Rin!

"Ninjutsu: Thousand Needles!"

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish, Mangetsu Hōzuki, launched a ruthless barrage.

His long, bright orange hair suddenly stood on end, sharpened with chakra and shot toward Kakashi like a rain of hardened steel.

Kakashi, instead of dodging, just sighed.

"Thousands of flying hair needles? Really? Must've skipped spa day for this."

He pumped a massive amount of Sage Chakra into his Lightning Release Armor, boosting its defense to the max.

While Lightning Release Armor was technically a B-rank auxiliary technique—mainly used to amplify speed and strength—Kakashi had other plans.

Normally, defense from Lightning Armor alone wasn't enough, as even the Fourth Raikage took hits. The Third Raikage? Different story—he'd hit the gym so hard over decades that lightning basically filed taxes for him.

But Kakashi had something else: Sage Mode. He infused it directly.

No trial runs. No safety net. Just winging it with Sage Art: Lightning Release Armor.

And it worked.

Kakashi's expression didn't show excitement though.

The real threat? Samehada.

He couldn't afford a drawn-out battle. That sword ate chakra like it was a buffet, and Kakashi was already serving seconds.

So—if he wanted to win, he'd need to end this now.

He zipped through the air with terrifying speed, right hand buzzing with lightning.

"Chidori!"

But Mangetsu sneered. "You walked right into it, brat!"

"Ninjutsu: Thousand Shields!"

The steel hair retracted in a flash and wove itself into a shield barely half a meter from his body.

Too fast to dodge, Kakashi muttered, "Hair shields? Someone's overdue for a haircut."

He pushed Chidori forward anyway, blasting through the barrier with raw force—but it slowed him just enough.

And that's when Kushimaru Kuriarare struck.

The needle-sword master had been waiting, setting up traps.

As Kakashi tried to disengage, he noticed chakra threads—everywhere.

Above, around—completely boxed in.

"Oh good, an artisanal death trap. How thoughtful."

Earth Style was the obvious move, but—

"Ninjutsu: Thousand Rebellion!"

Mangetsu had anticipated even that. His remaining hair plunged into the earth, then burst upward in a spiked ambush—eerily similar to Wood Style: Hell's Chaos.

And then came the storm.

"Exploding Sword Slash!"

Jinpachi Munashi hurled his blade, igniting the field in a roar of flames.

"Water Style: Water Cannon Barrage!"

Jinin Akebino raised finger pistols and fired high-pressure streams like an angry water fountain.

And finally—"Thunder Sword Technique: Raging Bolt!"

Raiga Kurosuki pointed skyward. A spear of lightning came crashing down straight for Kakashi's head.

Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"Seriously? I'm just a Jōnin. What do I look like, Hashirama's ghost?"

But despite the wall closing in, Kakashi still had one card left: Flying Thunder God.

He'd saved it, hoping for a surgical strike on another member of the Seven.

Just as he was about to teleport, a shout echoed from the cliffs:

"Seventh Gate: Open!"

"Daytime Tiger!"

A deafening roar followed.

Kakashi looked up—and blinked.

Blue steam. Taut green jumpsuit. Eyebrows of justice. No mistaking it.

A condensed air shockwave shaped like a tiger burst from Might Duy's palms, roaring ahead faster than sound itself.

It didn't stop. The Daytime Tiger obliterated every trap, explosion, and water bullet in its path, clearing an escape route straight to Kakashi.

Perfect timing.

With a blur of movement, Kakashi darted out of the encirclement and landed beside the one-man cavalry.

"Uncle Duy?! What are you doing here?"

"I ran into Guy while patrolling the coast!" Might Duy said with intensity. "He told me what happened. I came as fast as I could."

His eyes narrowed as they settled on the Six Ninja Swordsmen still standing.

"Kakashi… thank you for giving my son and Rin a chance to escape."

Kakashi rubbed his neck awkwardly. "Well, you know, Guy's like my annoying little brother. I figured I'd stall the sword psychos while he ran. Team spirit and all."

Duy turned solemn.

"No. You risked your life for them. You saved my family. That's not something I can ever repay."

Kakashi shrugged. "Guess we'll call it even since you saved my life just now. Deal?"

But Duy wasn't having it.

"No. You saved Guy. That makes you our family's eternal benefactor."

Before Kakashi could deflect with another quip, Duy cracked his knuckles and stepped forward.

"But first, we have a more pressing matter..."

His calm demeanor hardened into a focused fury—rare from the man so often ridiculed.

"They tried to kill my son. His friends. That can't be forgiven."

Kakashi stepped back as Duy's chakra surged again.

"I'll take it from here."

BOOM!

Duy vanished.

A sonic boom shattered the air as he crossed the battlefield in an instant and appeared in front of Jinpachi Munashi.

One punch.

CRACK!

Jinpachi's sternum shattered. He was launched backward like a meteor, slamming into the ground with such force that a crater formed around him. Blood erupted from his mouth. He wasn't getting back up.

Before anyone else could move, Duy's feet crushed the ground again.

FWUMP!

He reappeared behind Kushimaru Kuriarare.

One kick.

POP!

The headless body crumpled to the floor as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen watched in shock.

Within three seconds—two of them were dead.

Kakashi stared.

"Well... I guess the real reinforcement just arrived."
