Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja?

Kabu's barrage of attacks grew monotonous as he realized something.

"This is boring," he muttered, glaring at the figure of Reiki lying on the ground.

Initially, he had been excited, expecting a good fight, but all he got was someone who seemed to just take a beating.

"You're too weak. I don't understand why the higher-ups even care about you…" Kabu sneered. "And what's with that strange energy of yours? Why aren't you using it?"

His disappointment was palpable.

But just as he was venting his frustration, the Reiki on the ground vanished into a puff of white mist.

"A shadow clone?!" Kabu exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief.

He knew what shadow clones were, but how could one withstand so many of his attacks? This shouldn't be possible—it should've been dispelled long ago.

"Since you're so eager for a real fight, the warm-up's over."

The voice came from nearby, and Kabu turned to see the real Reiki standing casually, his eyes gleaming with newfound focus.

"Get ready," Reiki said as he activated Sage Mode, his chakra radiating immense power.

In his previous battles, Reiki had intentionally suppressed his abilities. With Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru watching, he didn't want to reveal too much and risk being assigned dangerous missions.

But now, with no one to witness, there was no need to hold back.

"Boom!"

Before Kabu could react, Reiki was suddenly beside him, delivering a swift kick to his waist. The impact forced Kabu to stagger backward, cold sweat breaking out from the pain.

"Was this guy playing weak earlier?!" Kabu thought, panic setting in.

Before he could recover, Reiki's next attack struck, sending Kabu flying.

Reiki observed Kabu carefully.

"His speed isn't bad, but if they gang up on me, it'll be troublesome," he muttered, eyeing Losca, who had been cautiously observing from a distance.

Reiki knew there were likely more enemies watching him. He couldn't afford to prolong this fight.

Summoning a long blade, Reiki prepared to end things quickly.

"Yin Release: Phase!"

Kabu, sensing imminent danger, activated his Yin Release ability, causing his body to fade into a semi-intangible state.

"Slice!"

Reiki's blade cut through where Kabu had been standing, slicing his now-intangible form cleanly in half.

Kabu barely escaped death thanks to his ability, but the near-miss left him shaken.

"Interesting," Reiki said, tilting his head. "A phasing ability? Looks like a weaker version of Obito's Kamui."

Without hesitation, Reiki raised his hand.

"Lightning Release: Thunder Surge!"

The Sage-enhanced Lightning Release coursed through the area, striking Kabu even in his intangible state.

"Ahhhh!" Kabu screamed as the electricity overwhelmed him.

At this moment, Losca finally sprang into action, wielding a massive black hammer.

He swung it with immense force, aiming directly for Reiki.

Reiki, sensing the danger, jumped back, momentarily abandoning his assault on Kabu.

"ROOM: Slaughterhouse!"

Using his spatial manipulation ability, Reiki swapped Kabu's position with his own, placing Kabu directly in the path of Losca's hammer.

"Stop!" Losca shouted, realizing too late.

Boom!

The hammer struck Kabu, smashing him into the ground. Fortunately for Kabu, he was still partially intangible, sparing him from death.

"Be careful! This kid is dangerous!" Kabu shouted as the digital curse marks on his body began to glow, his chakra flaring up even more.

Reiki sighed.

"Shell organization?" he muttered.

He didn't want to deal with Otsutsuki Isshiki or his minions yet. The ninja world wasn't strong enough to face them, and he didn't have the support necessary for a full-scale confrontation.

"Hey, since you're so eager to fight me, why don't we take a step back and talk?" Reiki asked, attempting to buy time.

"Talk?!" Kabu roared. "The only thing I want to do is kill you!"

Kabu, now fully enraged, rushed at Reiki again.

Reiki rolled his eyes. "As a human being, sometimes it's better to listen to advice."

"Sage Art: Thunder Oblivion!"

Reiki lunged forward, Murasame gleaming in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he stabbed the blade into Kabu's chest.

The blade, infused with Sage chakra, disrupted Kabu's Yin Release ability, breaking his phasing technique.

"Arghhh!" Kabu screamed as the blade's curse spread through his body, sealing his chakra and life force.

"Buried," Reiki said coldly as he pulled out Murasame, watching Kabu collapse lifelessly to the ground.

Turning to Losca, Reiki's gaze was sharp and unwavering.

Losca froze, fear creeping into his expression as he looked at Kabu's corpse.

"Kabu… You…" Losca stammered, his voice trembling.

He had underestimated Reiki, and now he was faced with an opponent whose abilities were beyond comprehension—time-space ninjutsu, strange weapons, and immense power.

"So," Reiki said, his tone calm but menacing, "can we talk now?"

He sealed Kabu's body into a scroll and turned back to Losca, his lips curling into a faint smirk.

"You seem like a cautious guy. Not like your reckless friend here. So, how about you tell me why you're after me, and maybe I'll let you walk away."

Losca hesitated, knowing he was outmatched. He didn't want to end up like Kabu.

"Talk," Reiki repeated, his voice laced with a quiet threat.

Losca's hands tightened around his hammer as he weighed his options. Would he fight or comply?
