"You're…I forgot your names…sorry." Said an embarrassed Naruto.
Cue sweat drop and a face plant from the two.
"It has been a while…I'm Momochi Zabuza, former Demon of the Bloody Mist, and this is my surrogate daughter, Momochi Haku."
"Ah I remember you two! We met in The Land of the Waves! So how have you two been?"
"Busy, we spent the last couple of years on various long term missions, which is why you haven't seen us around. I've heard that you and Link-sempei are hunting for the Uchiha. May the two of us join the mission?"
"Sure, but I'll have to ask sempei." Said Naruto.
"Excellent."
Naruto, Hinata, Shino, Yamato, Link, Haku, Zabuza, and Kiba were assembled at the front gates to Konoha.
"Okay everyone. You know our mission, so let's go!" Shouted Link and Naruto.
"Hai!" Said everyone, before everyone blurred in a mass body flicker. Everyone split
up to track down Sasuke, and Naruto had summoned various kitsune to help track him down. Accompanying Hinata and himself was Rena. Kiba and Yamato didn't need a kitsune tracker, since Akamaru and himself had a keen nose. Shino and Zabuza were accompanied by another kitsune. Haku and Link tracked him down with another kitsune summon, along with catching up on lost time. Naruto had dispersed multiple shadow clones to assist in the search.
Jiraiya had some information on Akatsuki. Apparently, the group known as Akatsuki originated from Amekagure, and its leader was currently located there. Tsunade wished him luck, and since she constantly loses her bets, betted that he would not return. So Jiraiya went to Amegakure.
Upon arriving in a toad's mouth, Jiraiya had managed to sneak in to the village undetected, or so he thought. The leader of Akatsuki had cast a jutsu over the entire village that made it rain. So upon sensing a disturbance in the rain, he investigated. He sensed Jiraiya's chakra disturbed his rain, so he sent a fellow Akatsuki member to scour the village to locate the intruder. He would follow her shortly. The only female member of Akatsuki used some origami based ninjutsu to divide into several paper butterflies to locate Jiraiya.
After doing some recon, Jiraiya gathered some info. The leader of Akatsuki was also the leader of Amegakure, and called himself a god. No one was even sure of his existence, because no one had ever seen him. His thoughts were cut short as a familiar face materialized in front of him.
"Konan…I heard that you had died, along with Nagato and Yahiko. What are you going as a member of Akatsuki?"
"Jiraiya-sensei…I have nothing to say to you.""Jiraiya-sensei…" Jiraiya glanced at the newcomer, who possessed a certain doujutsu, the Rinnegan, (Samsara Eye) which was deviated by many purple circles surrounding his puil.
'Only one person possesses that eye, but it can't be?' "Nagato? So you are the leader."
"Not Nagato…I am Pain."
"You don't look anything like Nagato."
"Indeed, for I am Pain." Then Pain fought Jiraiya by summoning many creatures, none of which Jiraiya recognized.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" (Summoning Jutsu)
Jiraiya summoned a massive toad, who wielded a shield and a weapon resembling a Sasumata.
"Gamaken, I'm counting on you."
"OK, but I am clumsy."
"I know you are…our opponent is strong, so I need you to buy me enough time for me to revert into Sage Mode."
"Alright, I'll do my best."
Itachi wanted to confront Naruto, so he hid himself in the forest in plain sight so that Naruto could easily see him. Upon Naruto discovering Itachi, Naruto immediately attacked, despite Itachi only wanting to talk. After Itachi fended off Naruto without attacking him, Naruto was willing to listen to Itachi.
"Why are you so determined to go after Sasuke?" Asked Itachi.
"Because…I want to save him from himself."
"What if he were to betray Konoha?"
"Then I won't hesitate in killing him."
Satisfied with Naruto's answer, Itachi left, but not before imparting a gift within Naruto.
"I am leaving you a gift…I pray that you never use it." Then Itachi dispelled himself.
After an hour of fighting, Jiraiya was finally ready.
"OK, Gamaken. Thank you for the services, but I'll take it from here."
"No problem. Well I'll go now."
As soon as Gamaken dispels himself, two other toads materialize atop Jiraiya's shoulders. Fukasaku appears on Jiraiya's right shoulder, while Shima appears on his left. Both don't move much, for entering Sage Mode requires the user to be perfectly still, but the two toad elders have found a way around that. By casting Senpō: Ryōsei no Jutsu, (Sage Art: Amphibian Technique)the two toad elders fuse themselves on Jiraiya's shoulders, gathering natural energy, or senjutsu chakra, while Jiraiya is on the move.
The imperfect Sage, Jiraiya, witnessed Pain summoning two copies of himself. These copies had different faces. Upon defeating the three, three more appeared, until ethere was six bodies, each of them with their own unique face, yet they all wielded the Rinnegan.
'Six people who wield the Rinnegan? Impossible!'
"We are the Six Paths of Pain."
"Who is Pain?"
"That is a name that deviates all of us, for we are Pain."
Off guard for a split second, Jiraiya loses his left arm.
"Damn it."
Reverting out of Sage Mode, Jiraiya was tired. Even though he barely managed to kill the original Pain, the one who first attacked him, and was sent to Konoha to be examined, transported by Shima. Since Jiraiya reverted out of Sage Mode, he was easily outmatched and killed, but with his last breath, managed to send a message via Fukusaku by inscribing on the toad's back, then sending it away to Konoha, where it could be deciphered. The message was coded, but it read:
9,31.8
106.7
207,15
Through those numbers, the true identity of Pain would be revealed.
A shadow clone of Naruto had spotted Sasuke's group. However, before he could do anything, he was detected.
"Such a massive chakra coming from multiple directions…it's all coming from him!" Shouted Karin.
Sasuuke turned around. 'The dobe…why is he here?'
Without any warning whatsoever, the shadow clone of Naruto was beheaded as Sasuke sheathed his sword.
The eight man squad had regrouped, all reporting failure, when Naruto stiffened.
"My shadow clone was just dispelled by Sasuke! He's that way!"
"Lead the way, Naruto." Said Link.
'If the Uchiha is over there…that means that Suigetsu is also over there!' Thought Zabuza., as he followed Naruto.
They didn't go too far when they were ambushed by eight people. It was everyone's dark side, Dark Naruto, Dark Hinata(A/N a Dark Hinata? I find that very unlikely), Dark Shino, a Dark Yamato, Dark Link, Dark Zabuza and a Dark Haku, and a Dark Kiba, accompanied by a Dark Akamaru.
"Where do all these dark copies come from?" Said an exasperated Naruto.
"I don't know," Said Link. "Perhaps Sasuke is involved with the dark copies…"
"Everyone split up!" Said Naruto as the eight man squad divided up into eight separate areas.
Kiba and his ninken, Akamaru, were facing their dark counterparts.
"Well let's try this." Said Kiba, as he feed Akamaru a soldier pill, causing the monstrous dog's fur to go red.
"Shikyaku no Jutsu!" (Four Legs Technique) Kiba said as he lowered his body and gained claws on both of his hands, and his face became more feral.
"Jūjin Bunshin." (Man-beast Clone)Akamaru had become an exact copy of his master.
"Gatsūga!" (Dual Piercing Fang)
"Fascinating, a dark me…" Said Zabuza, currently sword dueling with his clone as both were using Kubikiri Hōchō (Zabuza's sword, Decapitating Carving Knife) to fight with.
"Time to level the playing field…Kirigakure no Jutsu." (Hidden Mist Jutsu)Zabuza generated a mist so thick that he couldn't see through it, forgetting that his identical copy, like himself, was a master of the Silent Killing technique.
'This is just great…' Thought Haku as she was dodging all the senbon needles that her dark doppelganger had thrown, and with precision accuracy, all while trying to formulate a plan to defeat her dark side.
"Makyō Hyōshō!" (Demonic Ice Crystal Mirrors) Said Haku's doppelganger.
'Out of the frying pan and into the fire…so to speak.'
To Hinata's horror, her dark side acted exactly like a proper main branch family member would act…with a stick up her ass. She called herself Awakened Hinata.
'What to do now…' Thought Hinata as the two traded Jūken blows with each other, with Awakened Hinata having the advantage.
Both Shino were stoic, and sent their Kikaichū (Destruction Bugs) after one another. The real Shino was attempting to formulate a plan for victory, but his mind kept repeatedly turning up blank. He kept on attempting to form a plan.
Link faced his Dark Side in battle once again, and this version was far stronger then the previous one. He had a hard time fighting the imposter, but just like his student, he wasn't going to give up! So he kept on fighting.
Naruto unsheathed Teikiatsu and was about to unsheathe his second blade, Taifuukire, but changed his mind. He still needed more training dual wielding, but would unsheathe it if necessary.
"Demon Fang!" Shouted Naruto, as a shockwave of chakra shot out of his blade.
The Dark Naruto had unsheathed Teikiatsu and Taifuukire, and countered with his own Demon Fang, but used the power of darkness with it.
The Dark Naruto quickly rushed into battle, and began a sword duel that forced the inexperienced Naruto to also draw out Taifuukire.
"You still have much to learn…" Said Dark Naruto.
"Sword Rain!" The Dark Naruto blocked the multiple stabs by spinning Teikiatsu like a shield.
Not giving up against the superior swordsman, Naruto focuses on Taifuukire, before vanishing.
"Wind Edge Chop!" Said Naruto, as he reappeared in front of Dark Naruto, hoping to make him bleed out.
"Interesting." Dark Naruto dodges it by back stepping.
As Naruto lands, he focuses on both of his blades.
'Come on Teikiatsu, Taifuukire, show me what you got!'
Snapping his eyes open, Naruto extends both his arms as he is surrounded by his chakra, then starts sprinting toward his dark half.
"Devil's Hellfire!" Naruto says, as he slams Teikiatsu into the ground, temporarily stunning his dark half, and then wildly slashes at his opponent.
"This is the end!" Naruto says as wind chakra surrounds both blades.
"Double Wind Edge Chop!"
"You have improved…now it's my turn…"
The Dark Naruto focused on Teikiatsu.
"Demonic Tiger Blade!"In a combination of a Demon Fang andTiger Blade Naruto was knocked up in the air…
"Omega Tempest!"
Naruto let out yell of pain.
"Double Demon Wave!"Naruto let out two aerial Demon Fang's enhanced by wind chakra aimed straight at his dark half. Dark Naruto countered.
"Double Demon Fang!" Dark Naruto countered by producing two shockwaves…the two artes canceled each other out.
"Spiraling Thrust! Said Naruto, as Teikiatsu was surrounded by a rotating funnel of wind as he jutted the blade forward.
"Hurricane Thrust!" Countered Dark Naruto, as he attempted to parry the arte with a burst of dark wind, but failed, as the Spiraling Thrust drilled into him and caused heavy damage to him.
Sheathing Taifuukire temporarily, Naruto spun chakra into his right hand, and with his level of wind control, was able to add that also.
"Futon: Rasengan!"
Zabuza had managed to surprise his doppelganger, and his dark half was defeated, but then he was ambushed by Suigetsu. Chakra exhausted, Zabuza could barely defend himself properly, and Suigetsu left Zabuza dead with his prize, Zabuza's sword.
Haku had managed to overpower her dark half, and after checking for a pulse, finding none, left her for dead.
Kiba had to resort in using his most powerful jutsu to win. Satisfied that his opponent was dead, he left, followed by Akamaru.
Shino had managed to come up with an effective plan for victory. Upon Dark Shino's sound defeat, he regrouped with his team.
Despite her foe being more powerful, Hinata managed to win. After checking her body with her Byakugan and finding no signs of life, she left.
A Triforce Slash later, and Link emerged victorious. He left the difficult battle behind…
Dark Naruto's body was torn in half, as Naruto celebrated in victory, but the mission wasn't done yet, as he still needed to find Sasuke.
Naruto's group found no trace of Sasuke, but discovered that Zabuza had died. With a failed mission and a mourning Heku, they returned to Konoha.
I know that some of you wanted to see the Uchiha's butt kicked, but that will come in time. Read and leave a review. Laterz
