Naruto: The Last Stand, Part VII
Suddenly, Kabuto's sentence was cut short as Gaara, wielding a sand katana, jump up and took a wild slash at Kabuto's heart. Somersaulting back, Kabuto landed on top of a pole. "Tsk, tsk, Lord Gaara. You should watch your temper." Kabuto held out the device, "One touch of this little button and she dies, slowly…" Gaara landed on a nearby burnt rooftop. "You sick bastards!!!" he snarled. Kabuto smiled, "You know, Lord Gaara, this all can end if you come with us." Gaara lowered his sand katana, " Would you…let Temari go if I joined you?" Kabuto smiled, knowing he'd got Lord Gaara's attention, "Maybe…" Gaara lowered his head in thought. "We don't have all day Lord Gaara. Well, what will it be? Your power…or her life? What do you choose??" yelled Kabuto. Gaara looked up, "I…choose…"
Gaara suddenly shot a jet of sand at Kabuto, missing him by inches. Kabuto jumped to the side. "So…" sneered Kabuto, "You value your own personal well being over the life of your comrades and friends? So be it!!" Kabuto pressed the button. To Kabuto's surprise, nothing happened. He pressed it over and over again but to no avail. "Don't waste your time. When I attacked you earlier, I replaced that trigger with molded sand." said Gaara, "I do value my comrades, they are what are precious to me. Lord Naruto taught me that a long time ago. True strength, Kabuto, is what comes from holding something dear to you." Kabuto threw away the false trigger away and spat at the ground, "Pah! Don't waste your sentiment on me!!! I…" Gaara interrupted, "Tell me, do you have something to protect?" "Hell no!! Personal feelings are a weakness that a true ninja has no holds for!!" yelled Kabuto. He began to turn around, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to take care of your little Temari…" Kabuto tried to move, but could not. "Don't even bother. I took the time to wrap sand particles slowly around your ankles while we talked. It's harder than any substance." "Ah, SHIT!!" cried Kabuto. Kabuto scratched at his bonds with his kunai but got nothing. Gaara slowly held out his hand, "I will now bury you deep into the earth's core where you will die of suffocation. Thanks for playing…SAND PIT!!!"Just as Gaara squeezed his hand shut, Kabuto did something most unexpected. Using all his remaining strength, Kabuto intentionally twisted both of his anklebones, wrenching himself right out of his certain doom. Gaara was taken aback, "What the..You've only delayed your doom…HUH?" Right before Lord Gaara's eyes, Kabuto's bone joints and torn flesh began to heal. "Hee hee hee…I took the liberty of studying Kimimaro's bone manipulation ability and making a rough jutsu copy of the same healing properties!!" Lord Gaara raised an eyebrow. "What? Don't believe me, Lord Gaara? Fine, observe!!!" Kabuto grabbed his wrist and with a quick twist, snapped it in half. After a few seconds, his wrist bone began to heal right up. "Isn't medical jutsu handy? Now give up!!! You can't possibly win now!!!" sneered Kabuto. "He's right," thought Gaara, "I could keep on attacking put he would just heal up as if it were nothing…what should I…?"
Just then, a figure landed behind Kabuto. Kabuto didn't even time to turn around before the figure grabbed his neck in a tight vice. Gaara gazed at the figure, then realized who it was. "Akatsuki member…Tobi?"
"TOBI??" yelled Kabuto, "WHAT ARE THE AKATSUKI DOING HERE???" He began to squirm and struggle against Tobi's grip. "It's no use, Kabuto. You're finished. We know that you've been giving us false information on Orochimaru for a long time now!" "B..But how does that matter now?? Orochimaru's…" Tobi cut him off, "We also know that Itachi's little brat has absorbed Orochimaru's powers." "Then why are you here, helping us?" asked Lord Gaara. Tobi cocked his head, "Isn't it obvious? If anyone is to rule the world, it damn well better be us!! Not some whiny, emotionally disturbed kid!!!" Tobi looked down to Kabuto, "Tobi says…THIS…WON'T …HURT…A… BIT!!!"
CRACK!!!
With more malice than a serial killer, Tobi snapped Kabuto's neck. Kabuto's head hung down lifelessly. "Heh. That was easy. Why other's had problems taking him out…" Gaara held up his hand, "He's not dead yet. Look, he's already regenerating the neck bones…" Tobi glanced over, "Tobi's surprised. Oh well…" Tobi re-gripped Kabuto's neck.
KER-CRACK!!! SNAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!
Tobi continued to twist and twist, literally twisting Kabuto's neck all the way around. Kabuto screams of agony soon turned into gurgles of death. Tobi then pulled out a spare kunai, "…And just to make sure you don't regenerate…" Using the kunai like a hack saw, Tobi sliced Kabuto's head clean off. Tobi held the severed head in front of his face, "Mmmmm…Tobi's a good boy!" Then he glanced over to Lord Gaara, "Want it?" Gaara shook his head, "Um..nah. You..can have it…"
This guy's a whack job muttered Gaara.
Meanwhile, Itachi was steadily making his way towards his target. He gazed sadly over the ruined village. "She burns." muttered Itachi "This…is pathetic." Itachi continued to make his way across the battlefield.
"Brother, This is where it ends. This is the way all things must end." He activated his Sharingan, "Judgment day…for you."
