Naruto: The Shark and Sharingan's Power Unmasked

A new evil approached the Leaf Village. Such power was said to be able to rival the three Legendary Sannin. Unfortunately for the heroes, there was virtually no information on these foes. To make matters worse, no one even knew they were coming – similar to natural disasters. Not everything was lost though, the young Uchiha, Sasuke, was about to make his dreams of revenge come true… or so he thought.

"Itachi, let's stop here. I really need to eat," said Kisame.

"We're about to get to our objective. We can't stop now."

"That's more of a reason for us to stop in this small village. Are you really expecting to start mayhem with our stomachs full?"

Itachi looked at Kisame with his deadly eyes. "There's no time, Kisame. A mission is a mission, and knowing your past, you should know this more than anyone else."

"Exactly, what's why I want to make sure I succeed it; I need my chakra fully replenished," said the fish-man with a smirk on his face.

"Alright. If that keeps you somewhat shut, then I'll take it."

And so Itachi and Kisame stopped to rest in a small ramen shop, not too far away from the Leaf Village. Although it was only the afternoon and Kisame had eaten a few hours ago, he felt the need to eat as much as he could, though he couldn't be blamed for it: the criminals needed to be fully rested and have their chakra completely filled if they wanted to be able to assault an entire village by themselves.

"This is delicious. What is your recipe for cooking? I am interested." Said Kisame, expecting to get a response from the cook."

"Ha. If I told you my recipe, then what would be the point for you to come to this place?"

"That is not the response that I was expecting. I'll ask again, puny, tell me your recipe so I can cook this delicious ramen."

In reality, Kisame was probably never going to cook the 'delicious' dish he was eating, but he just loved to intimidate the innocent.

Itachi snapped. "Don't start your shows here – you're going to attract attention."

"Doesn't matter. I am going to murder this man if I need to," whispered the cold-blooded killer and then he looked at the cook, "say goodbye to this world."

Blood splashes the entire restaurant.

"Woof! Woof! We've been informed by villagers of a murder that occurred in our subsidiary village where most of our supplies come from!" said Cho-Cho, Kakashi's most intelligent summoning dog.

"I am not surprised. Honestly, I feel a sinister presence. I don't like the looks of this."

"What are you on about, Kakashi? You know, I am smoking all the time and even then feel healthier than you will ever be. Just relax." Said Asuma, the son of the now-deceased Third Hokage.

"I don't want to argue about this now, Asuma. I just want you to come with me to the outskirts of the village. Trust me, something terrible is definitely going on here."

"If it is that bad, then we should get all the help that we can. I still think you're being paranoid Kakashi, killings occur all the time and it isn't something we can't stop – it's just nature."

Kakashi sighed. "As negligent as always. Taking your offer, though; we should take Gai and Hiashi with us."

"You're freaking me out if you really think we'll need so much help. Even if something is going on, it'll probably just be bandits…"

"Look Asuma, if you're that afraid to come, I understand, but don't try to keep the others from coming with me."

"I am not trying to keep anyone from helping you, and hell, I am not scared of anything – I'll definitely go. I just think you need to take a deep breath and think about what you're planning to do for a second."

He completely ignored what Asuma said at that moment. "We'll also take Jiraiya."

The man started chocking on his cigar. "Are you insane? What's next – should we call all the other villages to help us out against this menace that you speak of? And then all the animals in the world?"

Thus Kakashi took off and went to assemble this team of unbelievably skilled ninjas. Since this was marked off as an emergency situation, it didn't take long for everyone to show to the rendezvous, especially Jiraiya, whom had already foreseen the arrival of the Akatsuki and how much of a threat they truly are.

"Good then. Let's go to the location that your little informing dog spoke of. It's extremely close to this place. Also, to everyone, please do not take this as a joke, for we might die in the process. This organization of criminals has the power to kill every one of us in just the blink of an eye, that's why we've united." Said Jiraiya.

"I just want to go to the action! Yes to my – no, our youth! Sampale!" Exclaimed Gai.

"Let's just take off. I don't have time for you weaklings. I should be managing my clan right now." Complained Hiashi, who by far was the cockiest of the bunch.

And so they took off.

Itachi and Kisame were about to approach to the exact same location that Kakashi spoke off in approximately three minutes… two… one… now.

It was an abandoned forest space which by occasion, would let any spy infiltrate into the Leaf Village by simply controlling their chakra to climb up the walls and getting in. Essentially a weak point.

"Lightning Blade!" Yelled Kakashi and proceeded to charge his attack at Kisame.

"The copying monkey? Hah, not so fast." He freed his Samehada and made sure it chugged every single bit of Kakashi's lightning style attack, who immediately backed off and then, with an extreme amount of effort, created a Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu to attack Itachi. The Uchiha simply rejected this attack by using a Fire Style: Chou Fire Ball Jutsu.

Backing off and after taking a deep breath, Kakashi finally understood the situation. "My, if it isn't Itachi Uchiha and… is it Kisame Hoshigaki? Nevertheless, you two are going to pay for messing with the Village of the Leaf."

Itachi quickly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and without hesitation, started to put Kakashi in a Tsukuyomi Genjutsu.

"Like that's going to affect me. With the power of my own Sharingan, you will not even scra-"
The monkey collapses.

"Hmph. Nice try, but your Sharingan is no match for mine – the one that contains the true genetic power of the Uchiha Clan."

"Dynamite Kick!"
"Chou: Rasengan!
"Giant Air Palm."
"Fire Style: Ash Smoke!"

With this sneak attack, Itachi and Kisame were sure to die for there was no way to survive such powerful combination of legendary efforts. But they did not.

"Susano'o!"
"Shark Form!"

The dark energy was unconceivable. Both rogue ninjas had combined their most powerful transformations into one. The Susano'o and the true power of the Shark Form, the Water Dome, had created the ultimate defense. There was nothing that would scratch them.

"I will lose the Susano'o if we keep this up for long, Kisame."

"Don't worry about it, Uchiha, I've got you."

Kisame touched Itachi's shoulder to give him half of his chakra, which even at this point in time was comparable to that of a Bijuu's.

"Now, let's clear the waste out, shouldn't we?"

Jiraiya gasped. "How did they survive that attack… doesn't matter; there's no time to speak. Summoning Jutsu: Gamabunta!"

The giant frog teleported from his realm to help the light in this battle, but was not even able to last a second on the battlefield.

"Amaterasu!"

The animal in no time was completely covered in black flames, and after dying, teleported back to his world.

Asuma used his chakra blades and like a true fool, tried to attack the water-shielded Susano'o without even giving his plan a second thought. As expected, he was single-handedly crushed by the giant skeleton of terror. Literally.

"One less nuisance. Who's next, Itachi?" He paused. "Oh, what about that Hyuga trash? It was his clan that put yours to shame anyway!"

"I don't want to murder anymore, Kisame. Let's go."

"What are you on about, you cowards?" Yelled Hiashi. "Giant Air Palm!"
But as expected, such attack did not even scratch the rogues' defense.

"Amaterasu!"
"Not too fast. Rotation!" And Hiashi rejected Itachi's attack, albeit with a lot of effort.

"I am going to be blind if we keep this up. Let's retreat."

"I am tired of your whining, Itachi. Now Hyuga scum, take this. Water Style: Giant Explosive Water Shark!"

"Giant Rotation!"

And again, the two attacks canceled each other out.

Although not planned, this all worked out as a distraction for Jiraiya to summon his second biggest summoning – Raska, on top of the enemies' defense.

"Itachi, look up! That giant frog could possibly damage our defense!"

Furthermore, it did. It almost completely crushed Itachi's Susano'o regardless of it being protected by the Water Dome.

"Now, my finishing blow; Ultra Giant Rasengan!" yelled Jiraiya.

This attack cracked half of the Susano'o depth defense, leaving it completely vulnerable to an attack which with enough power, would be more than enough to destroy the defense. This is where Gai plays his role in the battle.

"Sixth Gate of Joy: Open! Now, eat my most powerful attack, you pathetic scum!
Howl, youth! Hirudora!"

Luckily for the rogues, this only destroyed their armor. The reason this powerful Taijutsu-based attack did not kill them is because at this point in time, the attack had barely been created and Gai was barely mastering such violent strike.

"Kisame, with or without you, I am retreating." Itachi started running away from the battlefield.

"Argh…" Kisame groaned. "I'll eliminate this trash myself. When I am done with this mission, listen to me Itachi," he dramatically paused, "I will tell our boss that you're a deserter and that you shall be murdered!

He looked back at Jiraiya, Gai and Hiashi, all extremely tired. "Now, shall we continue this massacre?"

"Team, I've almost run out of chakra, and from what I can feel based on the air's pressure, you're almost out too. How will we defeat this foe without any power left?" asked Gai.

"Don't worry about it. I believe I have enough power to use at least a Fire Ball Jutsu and a Rasengan. Hiashi, can you still use your Rotation?" asked Jiraiya.

"Yes."

"Gai, do you have enough power to confront the enemy using your Taijutsu?"

"I… I think so."

"Then leave the rest to me. You two will know when to attack – just pay attention."

Jiraiya ran to Kisame. "Come at me, shark, unless you don't believe you have enough power to handle the Legendary Toad Sage."

The fish, being more aggressive and blood-lustful in his transformed mode, instantly started running up to Jiraiya without a second thought. "As you wish! Water Style: Mini Water Shark Jutsu!"

"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!"

Both water and fire cancelled out, but Kisame finally reached Jiraiya and with his immense strength while being transformed, kicked him in the face and sent him flying through many trees.

"Who wants to fight me now? Ha!"

Gai was drown in despair. "Hiashi, let's go – we might beat him in a Taijutsu fight if we combine our skills against him."

"I would say yes, but-"

"But what, Hiashi? There's no time for excuses!"

"But I don't team up with wimps who can't even fight properly without the need of opening some pathetic gates that bring you power that does not truly belong to you."

Gai looked at Hiashi with anger. "Look, I understand your jealousy, but there's no time for that now. Use that hate to beat the enemy, got it?"

Hiashi snapped and with his Byakugan, hit Gai in a vital spot which would immobilize him.

"Argh!" Gai spits blood. "What the heck is the matter with you…? We must work together to beat the enemy..."

Hiashi smiled. "Sayonara. Giant Rotation!"

Hereby, Gai was forever gone from existence for good.
