Note: Here's the next chapter with the shortest wait in between chapters ever. I noticed a typo in the last chapter. I accidently put Itachi instead of Kakashi in the last part of the Sasori fight. Oh well. As ever, reviews would be appreciated. Let me know if the fights seem repetitive, or if something just seems off in general.

At the Organization's Castle

Demyx sent a wave of water at Itachi, but Itachi executed a slight leap and started running on top of the wave of water. Itachi threw a storm of shuriken at Demyx. Demyx brought up a shield of water and was able to dispose of the shuriken without a problem. Itachi leapt at Demyx, bringing out a kunai to bury in Demyx's gut. Demyx quickly brought up a water clone and it took the strike, exploding in Itachi's face. Itachi was blown back, but rolled with the momentum and came back up to his feet unharmed. Demyx and Itachi then just stared each other down. All of a sudden, Demyx was stabbed in the back. Demyx turned his head to see another Itachi. He had used a shadow clone. Itachi withdrew the kunai and prepared to fnish off Demyx with another strike. Demyx was wounded and was too drained from Samehada to do anything.

At that moment, the elevator slid into place and Vexen walked into the hallway, bringing out his shield as he drew closer.

"I never did get to examine that sword of yours Demyx," Vexen said, sounding disappointed.

"Thanks for the sympathy Vexen," Demyx gasped out.

Itachi and his clone had not moved after Vexen came out.

"And you must be our prisoner. Allow me a chance to evaluate you," Vexen said to Itachi.

Itachi spun around sending another storm of shuriken at Vexen. Vexen brought up a wall of ice which blocked the shuriken.

Meanwhile, Demyx took advantage of the distraction to slash at Itachi's clone with his sword. Itachi's clone barely diverted the strike with his kunai, but then Demyx flung out his hand and used a geyser of water to destroy the clone.

Demyx then turned the real Itachi and brought down powerful rain on top of him. Vexen then sent a series of ice spikes along the floor at Itachi. Itachi dived forward avoiding the rain and precariously landed on an ice spike. He quickly pushed off from it at Vexen as another spike shot from the floor to impale him. Itachi spun in mid-air, avoiding the strike and sent a stream of fire at Vexen. Vexen brought up his shield. It blocked the fire, but Vexen was driven up against the wall. Itachi surged forward ready to deliver a fatal blow, but Vexen called forth an ice storm to freeze Itachi in place. Itachi's movements slowed. In seconds Itachi would be completely frozen. Itachi saw no choice. He would have to use the sharingan. Itachi's eyes changed. He closed one eye and then blood streamed out from it. Amaterasu burned through the ice storm and alighted upon Vexen. Vexen's shield took the attack and Vexen quickly dropped it. The ice storm dissipated and Itachi closed his eye.

"So, this is your eternal flame power that Luxord spoke of? Most interesting. I'll have to find out how it works," Vexen said with wonder.

When the ice storm had ended Demyx came up from behind Itachi. He then brought the sword down in a powerful overhead strike. Itachi side-stepped and kicked Demyx in the gut. Demyx doubled over and Itachi took him in a headlock and was going to snap his neck. Vexen called forth another ice spike to hit Itachi from behind. Itachi twisted into the air to avoid it and it impaled Demyx instead.

"Hmm, oops," Vexen said exasperated.

Itachi landed on the ground next to Demyx as Demyx fell to the ground. He then faded away into water. In a few seconds, Demyx was gone. All that was left was Samehada lying on the ground. Vexen then retreated into the elevator. Itachi tried to hit him with Amaterasu, but the elevator door went up at the last second and blocked the flame from Vexen. The elevator then shot up higher into the castle leaving Itachi in the hallway.

The elevator then opened out onto a higher floor. Luxord was there waiting.

"So, how did it go?" Luxord asked.

"I collected some excellent data on our prisoner. Oh, also, Demyx is dead," Vexen said, adding the last part as if it was an afterthought.

"The odds were in your favor and you still lost," Luxord said, shaking his head.

Vexen ignored Luxord and walked towards his quarters. Luxord watched him go, but stayed where he was. A few minutes later the elevator went back down. The prisoner had apparently decided to come up. Saix then walked up besides Luxord.

"What's going on Luxord?" Saix asked, sounding perturbed.

"Apparently our prisoner is free and he killed Demyx," Luxord replied.

Saix sighed.

"Why is everyone incompetent," Saix said to himself. "We'll stop him here. Apparently it's just the 2 of us."

"Time is not a friend of our enemy. We could simply retreat for now," Luxord suggested.

"No,' Said replied bluntly, leaving no room for argument.

The pair turned their attention back to the elevator as it started to rise again.

In Konoha

The puppet version of Naruto used Shadow Clone Jutsu and soon the room was filled with Naruto puppets. Sasori stayed back, content in letting his puppet take care of Kakashi and Roxas. Roxas quickly sliced through a group of clones and joined Kakashi. They worked back to back to eliminate the clones. Kakashi quickly worked in a jutsu, which was Water Dragon. The water dragon burst through the wall, sweeping up many of the clones in the process. Sasori and the original Naruto puppet safely avoided the attack. Roxas rushed at Sasori, hoping to take out the source of the puppets. He swung at Sasori, but his weapons were drawn away. They landed in the hands of another puppet.

"Meet one of my other favorite creations. The third Kazekage," Sasori said to Roxas.

Roxas was now defenseless. The puppet of the third kazekage bore down upon Roxas. It struck out Oblivion and Oathkeeper. Roxas caught the puppet's arms and stopped the strike, but the strength of the attack drove him to his knees. The puppet's mouth then opened to deliver a poison into Roxas's face. A weapon then flashes in front of Roxas's face, blocking the poison. The Puppet Third Kazekage drops Oathkeeper and Roxas grabs it and delivers a Graviga attack pressing the puppet down into the ground. Roxas then turns to look at the person who saved him.

"Axel!" Roxas exclaims.

"Hey Roxas. Thought you could use a little help," Axel replied.

Meanwhile, Kakashi traded blows with Puppet Naruto. They jumped away from each other after a furious exchange of attacks. Kakashi was starting to breath heavily. Puppet Naruto then used Shadow clone again. They started to use Rasengan. They then refine it into Rasenshuriken. Puppet Naruto then charges Kakashi with it. Kakashi quickly uses chidori and goes to meet Puppet Naruto's attack. The 2 attacks clash. There is a massive explosion which sends both Puppet Naruto and Kakashi hard into the walls. Kakashi lets out a gasp of pain as gets up. He pushes his forehead protector away from his eye and use the Mangekyo Sharingan. He then calls upon Kamui and tries to warp Sasori while Puppet Naruto is down. Sasori quickly gets Puppet Naruto in between him and Kakashi. Puppet Naruto then starts to be warped. Kakashi keeps up the technique completely warping Puppet Naruto away, but he is unable to extend the the attack longer to hit Sasori. Kakashi then doubles over onto the ground from straining his eye too much with an extended Kamui attack.

In a cave

Lexaeus uses his tomahawk to gouge out a series of rocks and send them flying at Pain. Pain reverses their course, and sends them flying back at Lexaeus. Lexaeus shatters the stones with powerful strikes from his tomahawk. He charges forward sending more rocks flying at Pain. Pain jumps into the air and lands on one. He uses his power to send all the stones below him raining down on top of Lex. Lex starts executing wide swings with his tomahawk to destroy the rocks, but isn't quite fast enough. Some rocks hit Lex hard and he is knocked to the ground, losing his grip on his tomahawk. Pain then throws kunai at Lex, using his powers to accelerate them. Lex brings up a wall of stone and blocks the kunai. Lex then painfully picks himself up.

Konan opens her side of the fight with Xaldin by turning to paper. The paper starts flies at Xaldin, trying to cover him and render him immobile. Xaldin sends out a gust of wind in all directions and blows the paper back. Konan goes back to her normal form and sends out paper shurikens at Xaldin. Xaldin uses another gust of wind to blow them away and then lashes out with his lances. Konan manages to avoid all the attacks and uses more paper like a sword. Xaldin traps the sword in between 2 lances and attacks with his other lances. Konan quickly flies up into the air with her angel wings and sends out a storm of paper. Xaldin's wind isn't powerful enough and he gets caught in the storm of paper. The storm is eventually beat back as a beam of energy shoots through and hits Konan. She falls to the ground as her paper attacks stop. Xaldin stood with his lances at the ready. He had an uncountable amount of cuts all over his body. He had ended the storm of paper with a wind dragon attack.
