Eyes Of Doom
Chapter 7: Just Like Old Times
The Paths of Pain stepped forward, their faces were emotionless. Naruto briefly stated to Sasuke about Pain's invasion on the village, about the Six Paths of Pain back then. Naruto told Hakoto about his fathers' Paths of Pain and how he's beaten them before.
"You'll find these Pains more, how should I say this? Adequate." Hakoto stated with limp cough. Sasuke chuckled.
"Does something amuse you?" Hakoto sounded tough.
"Hehehe, nothing. It's just..." Sasuke began chuckling more, Naruto was gobsmacked at his friend, and Sasuke hadn't laughed in so long, even if it was a chuckle.
"It's just what?"
"That you have no clue what you're in for." Sasuke voice grew as he incinerated one of the Paths with Amaterasu. Naruto jumped in shock. Sasuke's eye began to bleed and he cried out in pain, Naruto quickly ran to his aid but was shoved away. One the Pains who appeared to be the Asura Path quickly went on the offensive.
The Asura Path quickly ripped off his coat and sprouted an extra pair of arms and manifested a sword in each hand. The boys began fending off this onslaught of attacks by the brutal powers of the Rinnegan. Sasuke picked up on an opening in the Asura Path's swing.
The swing had a short, one second delay before the same arm swung again. Once Sasuke saw the opening, he drove his sword deep into the ribcage of the Path through the left side, piercing the heart. This was a lethal blow, but another Path ran to his aid, the Naraka Path, whose power was healing.
"Don't let him heal the other Paths!" Naruto exclaimed as he erupted into is Biju Mode, a bright yellow/orange colour coated Naruto while black filled in the detail, such as the tomoe around his neck. He teleported to the Naraka Path, and drove a hefty Rasengan into its chest.
Sasuke quickly drove his sword into the skull of the Asura Path and generated lightning through it, inevitably killing him. Surprisingly easy for "Adequate." Pains. Meanwhile, Naruto was pummelling the Naraka Path with Space-Time Ninjutsu and Multiple Rasengan attacks before it even had a chance to regenerate itself. With a mighty kick, the Naraka Path's head was kicked off and turned to dust, no blood involved. Sasuke had already killed another Pain, the Preta Path whose special ability is absorbing chakra based Ninjutsu, and was already busy on the Animal Path, specialising in Summoning Jutsu. The Path had summoned a giant three headed snake. Sasuke jumped at it and used a very smart tactic. He had manifested the ribcage of the Susano'o and cloaked it in black flames, attempting to punch through it with an offensive/defensive strategy.
It worked, he went through the middle head and the black fire spiked and burnt up the other two heads. The snakes hissed and jolted around in pain. Sasuke blew through the smoke of the Summoned creature dying with a Chidori. He pierced straight through the Path, killing him.
But waiting behind the dead path was the Human Path, whose ability is being able to rip out a human beings soul and read its mind. Sasuke was about to charge another Chidori and kill it too, but as he went to strike, the Path simply dodged it and grabbed the back of Sasuke's head as he sprinted past. Sasuke's heart sunk, as he felt everything being taken away from him, his Mangenkyo faded to white eyes, and he dropped to his knees.
The Human Path had ripped out Sasuke's soul; it was purple, fading to a deep navy. Its face looked of hatred. Sasuke let out a moan and fell face first into the ground.
Dead.
Naruto turned around to see his best friend dead on the ground. He teleported to the Path and struck a Massive Rasengan into it.
After all this trying, after all this sadness. He didn't know what he would tell Sakura, he couldn't keep his promise.
Anger and sadness swelled within him. He cried the name of his best friend, and dropped to the ground himself. He began crying,clutching the lifeless corpse of his best friend. He went into a blind rage, punching the ground and cracking it.
Naruto is angry, and with his power...
He's dangerous.
AU:/ Random curve ball! I probably should add character death in this but don't you worry about little old Sasuke ;) Stay tuned!
