NARUTO: SHIPPUDEN

The Force Unleashed

Yes, I am aware of how long it's been since an update. Like I said before, school's being a pain in the ass… As for reviews… well, those who said good things, awesome :D but those who said bad stuff… well, some I agree with, others just didn't read what I said. I am totally aware of how unrealistic Starkiller's learning speed is, but at this moment he is only at Chunin level without Sage Techniques. And Naruto's only at Jedi Knight Level. Given the shadow clones and Force learning aids, I thought that would be reasonable. I don't think I made that clear, so it's my fault, sorry. Others have complained about how combining Ninjutsu with the Force means that the good guys will just own everyone, and it won't make a good fanfic… well, I have my plans. Nevertheless, I'm sorry about the confusion about the plot guys, and I don't wanna delay you reading this, so enjoy!

Chapter 6

"Gamakichi!"

The smallest of the toads jumped from off of his father's head and landed behind Tsunade.

"Take Tsunade to safety! It's alright, ba-chan, we have this covered. Just go and drink some tea or something."

"Naruto…" The young-looking Hokage was stunned for words. A thought then occurred to her, and she took out a divided clone of Katsuyu, barely fitting in the palm of her hand.

"Take Katsuyu with you, she has Intel on them."

Fukasaku took the small slug and placed her in Naruto's jacket pocket.

"Hide in Naruto's pocket, Katsuyu!"

"Okay!"

Naruto kept facing Pain "Tsunade… I know this might not be the right time… but with the Force and Sage mode… I can sense everyone's presence and chakra."

"Did Kakashi leave the village on a mission?"

She didn't respond. She couldn't bring herself to say the truth.

"…I get it… Gamakichi, go!" The toad jumped away from the area, Starkiller stood next to him.

"Are you sure you still want to fight him? This battle will bring out the Dark Side within you. It is too early for you to fight someone you have such hatred for…"

Naruto looked at Pain "its fine… but there's something weird going on…"

"You sensed it too?" Naruto looked at Starkiller, confused. "Think about it, I can sense chakra… but the Force seems to be absent from him…"

"But then that means they aren't living, right? But then they're corpses! But they're moving… and using Jutsu…"

"Come on, think, Naruto…"

"Those piercings! They're… receiving chakra? And… the real Pain is controlling these corpses with his chakra?"

Starkiller smiled at the young ninja "You've come far. Using the midi-chlorians and listening to your feelings."

"'The real one isn't there…' That's what the Pervy Sage meant! He figured it out too! That's the secret of Pain!"

Pain was shocked. How could a child have figured out his secret so fast? Still, he remained calm.

"For you and Master Jiraiya to have figured out my secret… You Leaf ninja are truly impressive…"

Naruto stared, wide-eyed at his adversary "'Master?'"

"Yes… I studied under him too; he was my master as well. We are fellow pupils, we should be able to understand each other… our master… craved for peace. You should understand why I'm doing this… what I'm trying to achieve."

"Don't make me laugh!" Naruto ignited his lightsaber, his anger beginning to boil.

"What is that weapon?" The five Pains eyed the glowing blade carefully. "That looks like it could cut through anything, even my weapons…"

"I know you were about to destroy the village! You've killed my teachers! My friends! You can't call this peace!"

Starkiller was beginning to get nervous "Naruto, calm down. Don't let the Dark Side take over!"

"You don't understand the meaning of peace… Come quietly. Your death will lead to peace…"

Starkiller's vision was drawn to Naruto "His death? I see… he's not only fighting for this power inside him… he's fighting for his life… Maybe I should teach him that…"

Naruto grinned a little.

"I said…"

All five Pains looked up in shock; two Naruto's were above them, charging a giant Rasengan, they were closing in fast. Until-

"Huh?" Both Naruto's looked in shock… the Rasengan was… shrinking? One of the Pains stood in the middle, arms raised against the giant Rasengan. Katsuyu moved onto Naruto's shoulder and spoke out to him

"This Pain absorbs all chakra! You'll need to hit him with a physical attack!"

"He'll be too good for normal ones; looks like it'll have to be Frog Katas!"

Before the Rasengan disappeared fully, he recalled something during the day when he was told about the Pervy Sage…

"Their vision is linked! All six Pains see whatever the others see!"

"Then I'll use a move they can't see!" Naruto made a punch at the Preta Path, who avoided it thanks to the eyesight's of his other Paths, but was sent flying nonetheless, and was on the floor, dead. God Realm looked at the corpse curiously.

"I thought we dodged that…"

Fukasaku, however, knew exactly what had happened.

"The Frog Katas use Natural Energy surrounding us… that energy became a part of Naruto and attacked that Pain! Now that he's in Sage Mode, and because of what he learnt of Starkiller, he's more dangerous than ever!"

The two Naruto's stood back-to-back, facing their other adversaries.

"Deidara was right… reasoning with you is impossible…"

Naruto, however, was already absorbed in other things.

"…take me to the real you. I want to talk to you"

Starkiller, however, wasn't so keen on this idea "Naruto, I know you're trying to control your anger, but what good would talking to him do now? He almost destroyed your village, your home!"

Naruto looked back at his master with an immediate answer "Then what? Do I just kill him without hesitation? I thought that's what the Empire does, I'm a Jedi…"

Starkiller was shocked at his student's response, and gave a smile.

"Though I'm more skilled, it seems you are closer to a Jedi then I am, my Padawan… but I doubt he'll give away his location that easy… how are we going to find out where he is?"

"Don't worry, I have an idea… I'll take care of this one" He pointed to God Realm. "You take care of the rest, Master." He indicated the Human, Hell, and Animal Realms.

"Sounds like a plan." Starkiller ignited his lightsaber and charged at the three Pains, who reacted differently. Hell Realm stood back, whilst Human Realm stretched his arm out to Galen and Animal Realm made several summonings, bringing giant creatures into the battle.

Inside the village, death, pain, and confusion were all around. The village was devastated, people, injured or dying or dead, all around, and then… it all stopped. What had happened? Sakura was next to a Hyuuga branch member, and so asked for Intel on what was going on.

"It's… Naruto! And some strange man with him, too!"

"Naruto!" Sakura looked at the man, desperate for more news on whether Naruto was alright.

"It's incredible… they've taken down two of them already… They could win the fight, at this rate!"

"He's taken down two of them, when the village couldn't even defeat one! Naruto… you've…"

Konan looked on at her old friend. He was attached to a mobile support unit, and he was so skinny he looked as if he'd not eaten for years. This time, however, she had felt he'd gone too far.

"You can't hold out much longer! You just fought the whole village, and he's taken down two of them so fast! We should retreat!"

"No, Konan." He said, in a low, menacing voice. "I am fine… I was unable to complete "that" Jutsu, and so I still have a good amount of chakra left… Besides, this will be over soon… but I never thought I'd have to resort to that…."

"No! You've already used up too much chakra! Besides, there are still four left, you don't need to resort to that Jutsu!"

"Silence, Konan. I must focus…"

There, I know it's not a good chapter, but I did rush it a little. Keep reviews coming, I'll be sure to answer any questions you have (as long as they don't involve me spoiling TOO much :P ) Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter (even thought it took me forever to do it) and I should have another one ready a lot sooner! Adios!
