27 Lightning Blade vs Chakra Scalpel

"If you know all the bad things Danzo's done, then why are you working for him?" Kabuto asked with his brows furrowed while clashing his chakra scalpel against Ren's sword. However, Kabuto heard no response as he could feel the weight of Ren's sword causing him to dig into the ground with his feet, so he wouldn't get sent flying backward from the force of the sword.

"Please just let me go! I was tricked by Danzo into killing someone who I thought of as my own mother" Kabuto pleaded, but he only saw Ren's eyes flash with a cold glint.

"I can't do that, I have to kill you for my future," Ren spoke as he infused more chakra trying to kill Kabuto.

Ever since Ren had been born into this world he had changed the timeline and he knew that his very existence was an anomaly. Knowing such, he had resolved himself to change. To change the way things went, he didn't want Itachi to go through countless tragedies, he wanted the power to be able to change the story even more. Thus, he joined Root even though he knew he would only be in Root for a few years, but he would progress much faster than anyone else at his age.

Making space between himself and Kabuto, Ren used threw his sword at Kabuto to distract him, while appearing right next to him with his kunai, however, Kabuto was able to react in time and formed many hand seals, "Water Style: Giant Vortex".

A huge water ball in the form of a whirlpool came out of Kabuto's mouth destroying it's path, hollowing out the ground as it stampeded towards Ren.

Jumping back Ren formed multiple hand seals and yelled "Storm Release: Laser Circus,". Of course, it wasn't compressed as the version he made, but he didn't have time to focus his technique as it was still an incomplete jutsu and its chakra usage was much higher.

The power of the laser circus pierced through the huge whirlpool and dismantled it completely causing the remainder to dampen the ground.

Kabuto charged at Ren with his chakra scalpel, but just disappeared into smoke. "Die!" a shout came from behind Ren. However, Ren was able to quickly turn and slash at Kabuto. But Kabuto was able to narrowly evade it as his chakra scalpel also dissipated. Landing a light palm on Ren's chest and his face while pushing him down onto the ground. Kabuto was absorbing his chakra.

"Mmph!" Ren let out a muffled sound as his face was slammed against the ground. Paining his back to turn, Ren put a paper bomb on Kabuto's chest.

Jumping back Kabuto ripped off the tag and threw it away as an explosion came into view.

"Chidori!" Ren thought as he shoved his arm into Kabuto's chest.

With blood streaming down his mouth, Kabuto's lips and face paled as he coughed out blood before falling own onto the ground laying limp. He was dead.

Verifying Kabuto's death, Ren let out a sigh as he felt he made too many mistakes when he could have easily ended the fight from the beginning.
