Dragon Ball Shippuden
Martial arts tournament saga
Naruto: Sorry, but Kurama no Kyubi couldn't be here today, so I'll step in for him. (Kurama no Kyubi's unconscious in the background with Nam standing over him, holding his hands together in front of his face)
Nam: He'll be gone for 8 through 10 days to be more precise.
Naruto: Well anyway. Today is the day that you've all been waiting for, it's me vs Kisame!
Jackie Chun: Well, I think the outcome is pretty obvious, I'll put my money on Kisame.
Dumbcha: I second that.
Yamcha: I hate to agree with my brother, but Kisame's Kage level, there's no way a genin could beat him!
Nam: Kisame does seem to be most likely to win this!
Kisame: You've got that right!
Itachi: I'll put my money on Kisame too.
Sasori: Kisame.
Deidara: Kisame, hmmm.
Krillin: Kisame.
Guy: Kisame.
Lee: Kisame.
Neji: Kisame.
Tenten: Kisame.
Jiraiya: Kisame.
Naruto: Hey, you guys are supposed to be on my side!
Tsunade: Well, I'll put my money on Naruto. (Everyone except for Naruto and Goku looks at her as though she's grown a second head) What?
Naruto: Enough of that, now over to the reviews.
Animekingmike: Truly, Roshi is one of the greatest trainers ever, well next to King Kai that is. But the Kais are almost Gods.
Roshi: Thanks.
Goku: Ummm, who's King Kai?
Kid Goku Forever: Great Chapter. It will be interesting to read what you do to prove Saiyans as the perfect warriors.
Goku: Now I really want to know what a Saiyan is!
Roshi: Don't worry too much about that.
Naruto: Sorry, but even we don't know what he's planning to do to prove them as the perfect warriors.
Kid Goku Forever: You did a good job with Goku. When it comes how fast he learns moves. Im not sure who will win Naruto might win if he uses the Kyubi. With out his sword Kisame can not drain Naruto's chakra so who know. who you have win.
Naruto: Hmmm, I'll keep that thing with using Kyubi's chakra in mind.
Tenten: Wait a minute, what did he mean by sing the Kyubi?
Guy: You don't have to worry about that Tenten.
Tenten: Now I'm really curious.
Naruto: Then it's over to the story.
"Kamehameha." Normal speech

Yamcha: Kurama no Kyubi owns NOTHING… except for Dumbcha.
Dumbcha: HEY!
Chapter 6: Naruto vs Kisame
"Now it's the final bout of the quarter finals. On this side, we have Konoha ninja Uzumaki Naruto!" The announcer said as he gestured to Naruto "And on this side in the black and red robe is Hoshigaki Kisame!" He then gestured to Kisame who had an evil grin on his face.
"Guy, Yamcha-san. Come with me for a little while." Jiraiya said as he led the two away, but Yamcha noticed that Puar started following them.
"Stay here, Puar!" Yamcha said before he continued to walk after the two Konoha shinobi.
"Well, well. Who'd have thought that I'd be up against you so early in the tournament, Kyubi brat?" Kisame said as he looked at Naruto.
"Heh. I won't lose to you, now that you can't use that sword of yours!" Naruto said confidently.
"We'll see!" Kisame said.
"And let the match begin!" The announcer called out and the gong was rung as the two fighters assumed their stances, ready to fight.
On top of a nearby building were Itachi, Sasori and Deidara looking down on the Martial arts arena, waiting for Kisame to win.
Just as Naruto was about to charge at Kisame, a rainstorm suddenly started and people began searching for cover while Kisame's grin grew wider as he weaved several hand signs.
"So what do you think?" The announcer asked when he had gotten over to the director, said director just barked in response.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the director has not postponed the fight as of yet. The match is still in progress!" The announcer said, but after a few seconds he said "Wait a minute, I have a new ruling from the director, the match has been postponed and will resume when there's a brake in the weather!"
"Hold it, the match can still continue… Suiton: Amekami!" Kisame said, announcing the name of his most powerful technique. Suddenly all of the rain drops stopped falling and were suspended in mid-air "Looks like there's a break in the weather to me… literally!"
"It seems like the match is back on track due to Kisame's technique." The announcer said and the audience returned to the arena to watch the fight.
Naruto then charged at Kisame, but he was suddenly pushed back by what seemed to be an invisible force before he charged again, but this time he felt something – almost like a whip – hit him on the cheek and he was knocked down on the ground while Kisame was just smiling, this would be easier than he thought.
With Jiraiya, Guy and Yamcha
"Guy, do you have any radio Hitai-ates with you?" Jiraiya asked after they had hidden themselves in an alley.
"Yes, I do." Guy said as he got three Hitai-ates with radios attached to them from his bag.
"What do we need those for?" Yamcha asked.
"Since Kisame's here, Itachi must be here as well, we'll split up and be in contact with eachother through Guy's radio Hitai-ates." Jiraiya said.
"Kisame… he's a member of Akatsuki isn't he?" The three looked up in surprise and saw Dumbcha standing on top of a building, before said chunin jumped down to them.
"What are you doing here, Dummy?" Yamcha asked as Dumbcha landed.
"Helping you out for once!" Dumbcha said to Yamcha's surprise.
"Okay, what's the catch? I mean, there's gotta be a catch, right? There's no way that you'd help us out like this!" Yamcha said.
"Believe it or not, but there is no catch! I've just got a score to settle with the Akatsuki, that's all." Dumbcha said.
"A score to settle with them?" Jiraiya asked.
"Yes, you see…" Dumbcha then told them of an encounter, he and his team once had with two of the Akatsuki.
Flashback
In the vest desert in the Land of Wind were four people returning from a mission, one jonin, one who had just made chunin in the previous exams and two genin.
The jonin was a woman with green hair that was tied in a bun on the top of her head with an hair needle going through it, she also had two orange bangs going down on either side of her face. She had brown eyes, a sleeveless, backless top and short tight pants with two lapels on the front and the back. She wore an obi around her waist, as well as purple arm-warmers which extended up to her shoulders, and she also had bandages around her tights and ankles and she had a Suna Hitai-ate on her forehead.
The chunin was obviously Dumbcha and the two genin were probably his teammates. One of them had short grey hair, black eyes, he wore a brown t-shirt, black shorts and had a Suna Hitai-ate on his right bicep.
The last of them was a girl with red hair, black eyes, she wore a sleeveless black shirt and brown pants. She also had an object on her back that was wrapped in bandages and she had her Suna Hitai-ate around her neck.
Suddenly, the jonin stopped and her three students followed her example.
"Pakura-sensei, what is it?" Dumbcha asked.
"Everyone, get down!" The jonin, now identified as Pakura yelled and the four of them hit the ground just before a wave of lightning flew past over them.
"Who's there? Show yourselves!" Pakura asked as she stood up on her feet and her students did the same. Then two people wearing black robes with a red cloud pattern seemed to come out of nowhere.
One of the two had a mask covering the lower part of his face, he had green eyes and a Taki Hitai-ate on his forehead.
The other one was a woman with long silver hair, silver eyes and she had a Hoshi Hitai-ate on her forehead.
"She's as good as they say. What do you think Kakuzu-san?" The woman said as she looked at her partner.
"You should be careful, Hitomi. She is a master of Shakuton, one of the most dangerous sub-elements. Do not let your guard down!" the man, now identified as Kakuzu said as the woman, now identified as Hitomi frowned.
"Who are you? And what do you want?" Pakura asked.
"Who we are won't matter to you, once you're dead!" Hitomi said before she charged at Pakura.
Pakura then went through several hand signs.
"Shakuton: Kajosatsu." Pakura announced the name of her attack and three fire balls appeared around her as she charged at Hitomi, but said Akatsuki member weaved hand signs of her own.
"Mieton: Tomei ningen no jutsu." Hitomi called out and her body suddenly vanished into thin air and Pakura stopped in her tracks as she started looking around.
'Where'd she go?' Pakura thought.
"Ha-ha. Having trouble finding me? This is my Kekkei Genkai, I can turn myself completely invisible, there's no way that you can win this!" The voice seemed to come from everywhere.
'Invisible? But why aren't there any tracks in the sand? Of course.' Pakura then shot one of the fire balls in a straight line towards where Hitomi was when she turned invisible, but there was nothing there 'What? But if she had moved, I would have seen tracks… unless!'
Pakura then turned around towards where here students were and she saw some tracks in the sand that weren't there before, and they were behind Dumbcha.
"Dumbcha, watch out!" Pakura yelled as she started running towards her students, but it was too late as Hitomi turned visible again as Dumbcha and the two genin turned around.
A kunai-looking sword came out of Hitomi's sleeve and she swung it, attempting to get all three, but Pakura managed to get to them just in time and she kicked the Akatsuki member away.
"Let me guess. After you turned invisible, you used a shunshin to get behind my students!" Pakura said.
"You're smart, no one's ever figured that out before." Hitomi said.
"It was pretty easy actually. Since we're in a desert, even if you turn invisible, you'd still leave behind footprints! But there were no new footprints in the sand, so you shouldn't have moved from your original position. I sent one of my fire balls towards where you were before you turned invisible, but there was no one there, so the only solution would be that you had shunshined over to another location. So I just had to look for footprints in the sand to figure out where you were!" Pakura explained.
"Kakuzu-san, seems like I might need some help after all!" Hitomi yelled and Kakuzu ran towards them.
Pakura sent one of her two remaining fire balls at Hitomi and it went straight through her before vanishing as the Akatsuki member fell down on the sandy ground, dead and mummified.
Pakura then ran towards Kakuzu, attempting to take him down too, and when she sent her last fire ball through him, he fell down on the ground and she turned around to walk back to her students.
Movement behind her, forced her to turn around however, and she was shocked to see that Kakuzu was once again standing.
"If I had been anyone else, that technique would've killed me, but I'm not anyone else." Kakuzu stated before he weaved several hand signs.
"Katon: Zukokku." Kakuzu fired a small fire ball at the ground just in front of Pakura and as soon as the ball hit the sand, it exploded in a massive firestorm.
"Pakura-sensei!" Her three students yelled as they saw their sensei getting engulfed by the flames, but when the smoke faded, everyone could see a pile of sand where Pakura had just been.
'Kawarimi.' Kakuzu thought before Pakura came up behind him to try and kill him again, but suddenly came a black blur out of Kakuzu's back and she was knocked back before whatever the black blur was went back into the Akatsuki member as his right hand suddenly became black. Kakuzu then turned around quickly as Pakura once again were right behind him, but she was too slow and Kakuzu's fist imbedded itself in Pakura's stomach before she was sent flying backwards.
"P-Pakura-sensei!" Dumbcha yelled before he ran over to try and help his sensei.
"Dumbcha-kun stop, you won't stand a chance against that guy!" The girl yelled and Dumbcha stopped in his tracks.
"Mina-chan, I can't just stand here and do nothing while sensei's getting killed right in front of my eyes!" Dumbcha said before he ran further.
"But…" She was cut off by her other teammate.
"Dumbcha's right, we can't just let Pakura-sensei get killed, can we?" He said before running after his teammate.
"A-all right." Mina finally gave in and ran after them as she took the object she was carrying on her back off and started taking off the bandages as she connected chakra threads to the object.
"Rogafufuken." Dumbcha yelled as he approached Kakuzu, but said Akatsuki member dodged all of the punches before delivering a powerful kick to Dumbcha's chest, knocking him unconscious.
Hours later, Dumbcha opened his eyes and looked around, the signs of the battle were still present, but neither of his teammates nor his sensei or even the two enemies were in sight.
"Pakura-sensei? Mina-chan? Yura?" Dumbcha yelled, hoping that they'd hear him, but there was no response.
Flashback end
"… At first I thought that my teammates and sensei were all dead, but a few years ago, Yura was found alive and well, and he came back to the village, but Pakura-sensei and Mina-chan are both dead!" Dumbcha finished his story.
"Sorry, Dumbcha. I had no idea." Yamcha said.
"Ah, shut up, Yum cha, I don't want your pity!" Dumbcha yelled.
"I see, and you think that those two people were with the Akatsuki?" Jiraiya asked and Dumbcha nodded.
"I heard a rumor while on a mission once about an organization called Akatsuki. And according to the rumor, they wear the same kind of robes that those two had!" Dumbcha said.
"Very well, we'll need all the help we can get. Guy, give him a radio Hitai-ate." Jiraiya said and Guy took out another radio Hitai-ate and gave it to Dumbcha.
"A Konoha Hitai-ate? Well, guess there's no way around it." Dumbcha said before he took of his Hitai-ate and put on Guy's radio Hitai-ate, and the four of them shunshined in four different directions to look for Itachi.
Martial arts arena
Naruto was knocked down on the arena floor once again, not understanding where the blows were coming from.
"What's happening? Why can't Naruto-kun get anywhere near him?" Bulma asked.
"Neji?" Tenten said as she looked at her white-eyed teammate and said Hyuga activated his Byakugan.
"There's a stream of chakra going from Kisame and to every single rain drop. And it seems that he's able to manipulate the rain drops at will!" Neji said.
"… And there are a lot of rain drops!" Bulma said as she looked around at all of the rain drops that were suspended in midair around the city.
"But sending chakra to so many rain drops at once has to take a lot of chakra." Puar said.
"Yes, I can tell that he's already used 1/3 of his chakra supply! All Naruto really has to do is outlasting Kisame." Neji said.
"Outlasting him? Well, then he's done for!" Oolong said.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that. Kisame's chakra might be immense, but it's still nothing compared to Naruto's bottomless well!" Neji said.
"Argh, why can't I get anywhere near him?" Naruto asked no one in particular.
"This jutsu, practically turns me into god on a rainy day, each and every rain drop moves at my command alone! You can't hope to win!" Kisame said.
"Never underestimate me, Dattebayo. Kage Bunshin no jutsu." Naruto said and a second Naruto appeared next to him.
"Amazing! Naruto has made an exact copy of himself!" The announcer exclaimed as the second Naruto started forming a ball of chakra in Naruto's hand before it puffed out of existence and Naruto ran towards Kisame, using the Rasengan as a shield from the rain drops.
"RASENGAN." Naruto called out as he hit Kisame in the chest with the spiraling sphere and said shark-man was sent spiraling backwards over the crowd.
"Wow, I think Naruto might win after all." Oolong said, but then the rain drops suddenly formed a platform that Kisame crashed into and as he got up on his feet, the rain drops formed a catwalk that went back to the ring and Kisame walked back.
"Incredible! I've never seen anything like this in my entire life! Kisame's actually walking on water!" The announcer exclaimed before Kisame returned to the ring and made a hand sign.
"Mizu Bunshin no jutsu." And four clones of Kisame formed from the rain drops.
With Guy
Guy was running through the empty streets of Papaya city, trying to find Akatsuki member Uchiha Itachi.
Deciding to search from higher ground, he ran up the side of a building and when he reached the roof, he continued running and jumped over to the roof of another building.
'Now, that Itachi has to be around here somewhere.' Guy thought before he sensed something and stopped.
"It's been a while, Guy." Behind Guy was none other than Itachi standing.
With Jiraiya
Jiraiya was roof jumping over the city when the radio Hitai-ate suddenly beeped.
"Jiraiya-sama, Yamcha-san, Dumbcha-san, I've found Itachi… or rather, he's found me!" Guy said over the radio.
"Guy, don't try and go up against Itachi yourself, we're on our way!" Jiraiya said before he ran in the direction that Guy was in.
Martial arts arena
One of Kisame's Mizu Bunshins punched one of Naruto's Kage Bunshins, destroying it in the process.
'Dammit, this battle sure isn't going my way, maybe I'll have to use that technique after all, but I didn't want to use it before my fight with Goku.' Naruto thought before his last clone jumped over to him and they formed a Rasengan and Naruto ran towards one of Kisame's three remaining clones.
"RASENGAN." Naruto called out before the clone turned to water as the Naruto clone weaved several hand signs.
"Futon: Kamikaze no jutsu." The clone called out and took out Kisame's remaining clones before puffing out of existence itself.
"I'll end this with my newest attack! Dattebayo." Naruto said as he looked towards Kisame and he cupped his hands at his side.
"Ka… me..." A small red ball of ki appeared in between Naruto's cupped hands as he continued charging up for the attack "… ha… me… HA." Naruto thrusted his arms forward and a red wave of energy shot towards Kisame who tried to block it with a wall of water. But just as the wall had formed however, the rain drops started falling again and the wall fell to the floor just before the wave hit Kisame and sent him away.
"And the winner is Uzumaki Naruto!" The announcer said and the crowd cheered just as the skies cleared.
With Yamcha
Yamcha jumped over to another roof on his way to Guy's location when he suddenly sensed something.
"Well, well. Seems like I have another victim for my art. Hmmm?" Yamcha looked up and saw a man in an Akatsuki robe standing on a bird made out of clay.
With Dumbcha
Dumbcha stopped as he noticed something that was down on the street, a small man in an Akatsuki robe, but suddenly, the man vanished.
"Finally, I hate waiting." Dumbcha turned around and came face-to-face with Akasuna no Sasori.
With Guy
"Itachi, you won't get your hands on Naruto!" Guy said as he assumed his Taijutsu stance.
"I don't want to have to kill you, Guy. But if you leave me no choice, I'll do what I'll have to!" Itachi said as he closed his eyes before opening them again to reveal his Mangekyo "Amaterasu."
