Naruto's POV

"Come on Sasuke." I pleaded. "The village needs you, Itachi is dead, Orochimaru is dead, we can go back to being team seven again."

I heard the sounds of weapons being drawn, but pushed it out of my mind.

"You have no idea what that village really is Naruto, It's just a cancer on this world." Came Sasuke's reply, as he started making hand signs.

"Ero Sennin! I thought you died" I called out, tears forming in my eyes. "How did you survive! I got your message, I saved Konoha and convinced Nagato to undo it all…"

Hinata spoke up "You let him die Naruto." She looked dead at me, eyes vacant. "You let us all down."

I could taste the bitter rage as the Kyuubi started to take control.

"Haku… I buried you… Just… how…" I said, feeling the cold air drop even further.

Haku started making hand seals as his only response.

"Naruto, these people aren't in their right mind. You have to get ready to fight." Ordered Kakashi.

Sasuke finished his hand signs at the same time as Haku, out of his mouth came 6 different fireballs.

"Fire release: Phoenix Sage flower Jutsu." He called out

The rush of heat was felt by everyone as they flew towards them, but before they could dodge the flames, a flock of ice birds came from Haku's mouth, sending icy senbon needles through the flames, disrupting both attacks.

I saw Kakashi dive into battle against my old Sensei, his hand coated in lighting.

Jirara never made an attempt to dodge it, instead he made hand signs as his hair grew to cover his body, its spikes firing out, and Kakashi was forced to use a substitution jutsu as the spines went straight through the log.

I was shaken from my stupor finally and I sent out a shadow clone to gather natural energy. I ran in to confront Sasuke letting the rest of the world fade away.

As I jumped in to fight Sasuke I made 10 more shadow clones, 5 of them dived straight in to fight Sasuke whilst the other 5 made three sets of rasengans, one in my hand.

Sasuke easily cut through the clones sent his way, and quickly made more hand signs as he spewed a great fireball from his mouth,dispersing the two clones with rassengens. I came in behind them ready to send mine into his chest, but a wall of ice appeared in the way, taking the attack.

My mind was vaguely aware that Kakashi and Yamato where fighting Jirara 2 on one, but I couldn't see Konan or Hinata; and before I had a chance to look for her Haku and Sasuke were back on me.

I started to form the hand signs for the shadow clone jutsu when Sasuke slashed at me with his sword, I dived backwards and had to spin around to kick at Haku who was making hand signs for a jutsu.

I felt the shock of lightning as Sasuke launched a load of tiny electrically charged needles into my back. Haku jumped back as three paper shurikens flew through where he had been standing.

As a missile of black fire appeared where I had been standing I was forced to jump back right before a giant icicle landed in the same place. I vaguely heard names of Jutsu being called out alongside the attacks.

I managed to make the hand signs for the shadow clone jutsu as 40 clones appeared on the field to give me room to breath. My skin was soaked with sweat, and a storm was forming overhead.

Before I could even come up with a plan, the clones were burst almost simultaneously, as a flurry of ice and lightning senbon needles flew threw them, a few hitting me.

I saw Haku starting to form the seals for a Jutsu. I felt the nine tails trying to drag me down, holding it back only because I knew everyone here was a friend. No good would come from letting that out.

Sasuke rushed into view, finishing off his hand signs and letting out 5 balls of fire, impacting into the snow, blocking my vision. Before I could do anything to clear it, Shurikens covered in flames came racing through.

I drew a kunai and blocked 3 of them, the fourth hitting me in the shoulder as the smell of burning flesh hit my nose.

"Come back to the village Saskue" I begged. "Don't make me kill you."

"Kill me!" Came Sasuke's laughing reply. "When we last fought I was still getting used to my power, and you couldn't stop me then, if you can even last 10 minutes then you can live."

With that the fight resumed.

The clone I sent off dispelled, returning its sage mode chakra to me. I felt the markings appearing on my eyes and I dashed into Hakus range, much faster than before.

Before he could react, my fist impacted into his stomach and sent him flying, and as Sasuke came started making hand signs I summoned a kage bunshin to throw me into him, which then ran off.

As Sasuke was part way through making hand sights the sage mode enhanced range impacted his fast, knocking him to the ground, in response he drew his sword, slashing at my left side, forcing me to jump backwards.

"Is that the best you can do?" He taunted. "Let me show you the power of the Uchiha clan, the clan that your village tried to erase."

I watched as purple energy began to form a ribcage around him. The purple energy flowing off of it like evil flames.

Just as I was about to dash in and use Frog Kata before Saskue's ability finished a paralyzing tag was slapped onto the back of my neck, I forced charka through it to push it off but it was too late.

"BEHOLD!" Cried Sasuke. "The Susanoo!"

I ran in to punch through the ribs of this new ability, but I felt my fist get stopped by pure chakra energy, I kicked backwards and tried to punch through it again to no avail.

As Kakashi flew past us, being impacted from a hit, Sasuke started making hand seals. I copied him, making the sign for kage bunshin myself, as he flew through various different signs, 3 of my clones flying forward to begin beating on it, sage enhanced fists starting to cause small cracks to appear, as I started to form a rasenshuriken in the hand of one of my clones.

As black fire erupted over the three beating on the rib cage the clone helping to stabilize the rasenshuriken faked a wince, Sasuke fell for the bait as he sent more of the black fire at it and it to dispersed.

Whilst Sasuke was in momentary shock at it being a clone, the rasenshuriken was let fly, impacting into the rib cage and sending Sasuke flying.

The purple energy shattered and I looked at where saskue impacted against the snow, Kakashi having ran back to the fight with Jirara. As the smoke and snow cleared Saskue was breathing heavily, blood smattered around his eyes.

"Saskue, you need to conserve your energy for the next battle." Called out a Monotone Hinata

"Fine." Snarled Sasuke. "I'll finish this runt."

I formed the hand sign for a Kage bunshin Jutsu as two of them sprung into place and we started to form the last charge of my rasenshuriken on the hand of a clone. Right as it was finishing, a large paper chakram, half frozen, came flying through, forcing the clone without the rasenshuriken to block it.

As that was happening, Sasuke brought forth a blade of lightning and cut down on the clone holding the rasenshuriken, I barely had time to jump away as it blew up, and I felt sage mode leave me.

Hinata called out again. "Saskue, we need to go, now."

Saskue glared at me, and started making hand signs, flipping through them so fast I couldn't see what he used but ending on monkey.

In an instant my world was replaced with pure pain, every part of my body cried out. I released the clone holding sage mode chakra that I made earlier but soon felt the empowered durability leaving me. The lightning faded away, I was vaguely aware I was now in a crater, on my hands and knees just panting.

I managed to force me head to look up to where Sasuke had been, only to see him gone, I looked around and there was no sign of any of the group that attacked them, Konan was surrounded in paper on the ground, some of it frozen solid. Kakashi and Yamato looked like they went through hell fighting a sannin, but came out alive on the other side.

"Where… did they go?" I managed to cough out.

"Sasuke was running out of chakra." Stated Konan, twisting her hands over themselves. "So was the Hinata girl I had been fighting, Haku and Jiraiya-sensei didn't seem to have that issue however."

Kakashi chimed in here. "Which begs the question, what was more important to the akatsuki than capturing Naruto."

Bleg. I don't think this fight scene turned out well, it feels too much like Naruto and co won because the other side decided to let them.

For anyone wondering, that was Kirin that Sasuke used and Naruto's second sage mode came from the clone he used to throw himself into Sasuke after hitting Haku. Next time we should have Konans side of the fight, so some of the interruptions in this fight will come from there.
