Chapter: 6

"Well let's stop dawdling and get this thing started." Kin smirked. "Who wants to go first?"

"I'm going to crush you." Tsunade used chakra to increase her speed and strength as she came barreling at Kin. Kin acted quickly knowing taking a direct hit from Tsunade was near suicidal even for him. He just managed to lean out of the way of the left jab and feel back into a handstand and drove his right foot into her chin. Tsunade flipped back but landed on her feet and pushed off at Kin who was also just regaining his feet. He cursed knowing this was going to hurt as he dodged as much of the punch as possible. The blow grazed his left side and he still went tumbling away with at least one bruised rib. Kin however wasn't the unofficial fourth Sannin for nothing as he quickly regained his feet and completely blocked the follow up kick. He quickly spun on his left leg and lashed out connecting with a right side kick to her ribs and sent her tumbling away a few feet. Orochimaru was upon him before he could react driving his right knee into his chin causing his head to snap back. Kin went with the blow into a handstand and flipped landing on his feet. He quickly spun a kunai appearing in his hand as he blocked the three shuriken Jiraiya had thrown at him. Kin twisted avoiding the punch from Tsunade and was glad when Orochimaru appeared beside her with a high kick to the side of her head. Jiraiya feel upon Orochimaru kunai in hand as he went for a slash. Orochimaru used his snake like body to bend out of harms way by inches before his tongue wrapped around Jiraiya's right ankle and tossed him into the recovering Tusnade. Kin was upon Orochimaru before he could react with a brutal roundhouse kick into his useless right arm that sent the man falling and rolling across the ground.

"This is fun." Kin was idly wondering how Ripper and Jaw Crusher were doing.

Jaw Crusher sighed as he watched Ripper jump towards the shark looking man once more only to be batted aside by his giant sword. Ripper crashed in a heap before rolling back onto his legs and growled. "To bad you aint a cat then you'd land on you feet."

"Insolent human!" Ripper charged again but this time the shark man didn't even flinch as the man who smelled of clay drove his left foot into his side and sent him crashing back to the ground. The reason Jaw Crusher wasn't helping was simple. One Ripper had told him to stay back as he could handle the two humans that were even willing to fight him, and two for all of Ripper's pride he knew his brother would either soon ask for his help or retreat back to their home Howling Pass before he die.

"This is boring hum." The clay smelling human put his hands into his pocket. "Just tell us where Kin Kamikaze is hum."

"Never!" Ripper yells. "I'll never betray our summoner." Jaw Crusher nodded his head in agreement. The two brothers may argue sometimes but even he knew better than to betray any of their pack and that included Kin Kamikaze. "Oi Jaw Crusher."

"Yeah?"

"Help." Ripper grinned back at his brother.

"Fine." Jaw Crusher jumped out of the tree he had been in to stand beside his brother. Kisame and Deidara didn't think having the other wolf would help much. That was before Jaw Crusher rushed forward far faster than Ripper and slammed into Deidara hard sending him rolling away. Kisame went to slash at him but Jaw Crusher jumped over the blade and spun driving his hind legs into Kisame's face and knocking down the shark man. Kisame was quick to regain his feet only to be hit head on by a gust of wind as Ripper unleashed his wind jutsu into the unsuspecting man which sent him flying off into the forest area.

"Seems we may need to act after all Sasori-san."

"Indeed Itachi-san." The two wolves looked at the two men who had been watching the fight so far. Jaw Crusher didn't like the way the black haired one smelled. Before he could tell his concern to his brother Ripper dived towards the one called Itachi. Faster than he had seen anyone besides Kin and his father move Itachi had slammed a palm into his brothers chest and sent him flying backwards. Fear gripped Jaw Crusher as Itachi appeared before him and lashed out kicking him in the face. As he landed and rolled onto his legs only one thing was on his mind...run.

"Let's split." Ripper said as he took off towards Kin's scent. Jaw Crusher didn't even need to be told twice as he rushed after his brother.

"This is getting us nowhere." Jiraiya heaved as he looked at the two enemies. Kin seemed fine for the most part but Orochimaru was still doing well as well considering his useless arms.

"Tell me about it we're not even close to ending this fight."

"Come on let's keep going already."

"Kukuku sure." Kin was grinning like a mad man as he dogged under Orochimaru's kick and came up with an uppercut to Jiraiya's chin then turned and caught Orochimaru's round kick and threw him away form him. Before he could continue his attack Tusnade was on top of him and drove him back away from Jiraiya. Just as he was thinking of charging in again Jaw Crusher and Ripper appeared slightly beat up.

"What happened to the two of you?"

"Simple instead of two Akatsuki there were four of them."

"Four?"

"Akatsuki!"

"Well seems we have found the right place."

"Yeah."

"This looks quite dangerous hum."

"Orochimaru."

"Ah Sasori-san how are you?"

"I'll be better once I kill you."

"Looks like we know who he wants." Kisame grinned. "I want-"

"You will face Jiraiya-sama" Itachi stared at Kin. "Diedera keep Tsunade busy."

"Hn."

"Oh so I get to fight an Uchiha." Kin smiled. "This will be fun."

"Sorry we tried to lose them." Jaw Crusher let out a shuddering breath.

"Don't worry you two did well." Ripper and Jaw Crusher vanished in smoke as they retreated. "Well shall we begin."

"Yes." Itachi quickly drew his ninjato as he stood at the ready.

Preview chapter: 7

Itachi and Kin clashed once more kunai against ninjato as the two men struggled for dominance.

"You're good."

"Thank you." Itachi jumped back and ran through one hand seals. "Fire style: Grand fire ball no jutsu." Unlike the fire ball jutsu this flame was white and much larger.

"Impressive." Kin quickly flashed threw one hand seals and took a deep breath. "Wind style: Raging blast." An equally giant ball of wind smashed into Itachi's fire ball. The two jutsu's wavered then exploded in a violent fashion. Itachi and Kin didn't seem to care as they charged forward through the debris and smoke.
