A Diamond in the sand

Chapter 9: A Real Trap

Quote of the chapter: Oh bloody hell! Who the fuck gave him rockets! Who the fuck gave him rockets!

Yet another Disclaimer: If I owned Hinata would ravage Naruto by now.

Naruto had a bad feeling about this whole thing from the beginning. It wasn't helping that Hinata couldn't come because her dad didn't want to see her with him.

Sasuke patted him on the back, "It's cool bro. I'm sure you will find a way to get with her."

Naruto nodded his head, "Yea I guess, thanks teme."

Sasuke nodded and grabbed his board, "Let's go."

Lee, Shikamaru, and Deidara all stood up and looked off from where they were standing.

Naruto inhaled deeply, "I told you the Hokage Mountain was the best spot to relax!"

With that said Naruto let himself fall from the mountain, much to everyone except Sasuke's, dismay.

"Is he going to die youthfully like this!" Lee screamed in horror as he watched his friend drop to his death.

Sasuke shook his head and did a back flip off the mountain as well. Lee watched them both fall as Shikamaru shook his head, "Well then…it's troublesome, but lets go Lee and Deidara."

Shikamaru grabbed both of their shirts and pulled them off the mountain as well. They free fell for what felt like an hour until they landed on the quarter pipe that had been recently erected on the Hokage Tower. Lee was screaming like a schoolgirl, while Naruto and Sasuke were skating towards…

"Oh my youthful god! That looks painful."

Lee stared in horror at the gigantic ramp that would propel them across town. Lee watched Naruto and Sasuke fly wildly across the town until they landed down the street only 100 yards from the skate park and the Akatsuki.

Lee flew off the edge and screamed like a little girl before landing painfully on the ground. Shikamaru and Deidara were right behind him.

The Akatsuki had been watching the team drop intently, "So this is what Jiraiya's Element is? Pretty pathetic."

Kisame laughed at Itachi's comment, "So…when do we get to rip them apart?"

Itachi laughed, "Patience kid. Hidan, Kakuza, Kisame, Tobi and me are going to take care of these Element kids."

Naruto grabbed his board and hoped the fence, "There you are Itachi! You teme! Let's settle this once and for all!"

Itachi scoffed him and kicked his board into his hand, "Let's start this off right."

Sasuke flipped his hair, "Well then…lets do it and see who can skate on the same turf."

Itachi nodded his head, "Okay then…we will play simple HORSE or Knock Off."

Lee raised a bushy eyebrow, "What is Knock Off."

Kisame sighed, "Knock Off is when one person tries to knock the other off the board, hence the name knock off."

Lee nodded his head and Itachi continued, "Okay, so the pairings will go like this…Kakuza versus Deidara, Hidan versus Shikamaru, Kisame versus Lee, Sasuke versus Tobi, and me versus you Naruto."

Naruto smiled, "Done! Lets do it!"

Kakuza grabbed his brand new Akatsuki board and called out to Deidara, "We are going to play Knock Off."

Deidara nodded his head and grabbed the inhaler from under his cloak. He took a puff and smiled at Naruto, "This is gonna be a bang."

Kakuza let a thin wire slip from under his arm and snake its way to the bottom of Deidara's wheel, but no one noticed, as the wire was thin to a ridiculous level.

The two skated towards the park.

Deidara stalled on the quarter pipe and stared at the soda can that was sitting on the rail. He jumped and kick flipped the can off the ramp, while stalling on the railing the can had been on.

Deidara jumped off the rail and skated down the quarter pipe. Kakuza watched him with a twisted grin under his mask.

He skated over to Deidara who had just jumped onto a railing and was grinding across.

Deidara smiled at him, "C-1! Art is a bang!"

Kakuza was surprised, but managed to ollie over most of the explosives. Deidara shook his head and skated next to Kakuza.

Kakuza grabbed the end of his board as he went up the half pipe next to Deidara and let those thin wires slide from his hand once more.

Deidara didn't notice as he was faced in the other direction as his wire undid the other wheels and they both landed.

Kakuza smiled and landed in front of Deidara surprising him. Kakuza started to pull away, baiting him into trying to keep up.

Deidara fell for it and chased Kakuza. The two raced across the park until Kakuza saw he big half pipe. It was a humongous sized 12-footer. As Kakuza flew up, Deidara began to get a little nervous, but he pushed the thought to the back of his mind as he rode up the half pipe.

Kakuza nodded his head and grabbed a screw. Deidara looked at the screw and watched in amusement as he dropped it on his front wheel.

He thought it was funny until the wheel fell off and fell back down to the Earth. Deidara's smiled instantly vanished and he looked at Kakuza (who had just landed) with a look of fear as he landed flipped and smashed his face on the hard concrete. He slid down the pipe and bounced into the air. (A/N: Things get a little graphic here)

He saw his board in his left eye, and sadly…that was the last thing his left eye ever saw. His left iris was pierced by his board's axel, and the thin film ripped causing his eye to spill out. His blood squirted down his eye and the eye imploded on itself.

(A/N: Okay it was short but it is my version of the incident to cause his mechanical eye. Hurray for Fan Fiction.)

Naruto grimaced as his friend got up and screamed at the pain of his eye and the blood matted to his hair.

Kakuza yawned, "I win."

Naruto grabbed his friend and led him over, "Dude are you okay?"

"Do I look fucking okay?! I just had a fucking metal pole stab into my-Ah! OW!"

Sakura walked into the arena and gasped at Deidara, "Naruto! What happened to him?!"

Naruto groaned, "Akatsuki happened. Can you take him to the hospital? Deidara-nee-san (A/N: I think that's brother, if not you know what I'm talking about.) I swear I will beat Akatsuki or you can have…my board, you can have my board."

"Thanks Naruto," Deidara said holding the gaping hole, "but…I don't think I'm going to skate anymore."

Naruto let his jaw drop, "But…why?"

Deidara shook his head, "Well think about it? I'll tell you later when I am not dying from pain."

Naruto nodded and walked over to Itachi who was thoroughly enjoying himself.

Hidan cracked his neck, "I'm fucking ready to fucking bust out on someone! Let's fucking go!"

Shikamaru yawned, "How troublesome."

Hidan laughed, "We are playing knock off got it."

Shikamaru yawned, "Whatever.

Hidan jumped on his board and rocketed to the half pipe. Shikamaru yawned and skated away slowly. Hidan was literally skating circles around Shikamaru who was calmly watching him with a lazy half-smile on his face.

Hidan let the scythe that was hanging on his back fall into his hand, while Shikamaru stopped the board and dropped to one knee, while on the board and put his hands in the familiar shape for his family's ancient skateboarding technique.

"Shadow Skateboard possession!" Shikamaru said calmly as a shadow appeared from his skateboard and shot towards Hidan's skateboard.

Hidan ollied, "Please bitch! It's going to take fucking more than that!"

A vein appeared in Shikamaru's head, "Jeez. Your really annoying."

Hidan smiled and threw the scythe at Shikamaru, who simply used his shadow stitching to knock the scythe out of midair.

Hidan let out a deep sigh and grabbed his smaller pole that he uses in sacrifices.

He stabbed it into the ground and rapidly switched directions. Shikamaru was surprised when he bodied him, knocking him to the ground and scraping his knee badly.

Shikamaru already knew what Hidan's power was and skated away from him, worried that he would try to get some of the blood from his knee.

Hidan chased after Shikamaru who had managed to ollie 4 feet off the ground onto the flat box that was raised off the ground.

Hidan smiled and scraped the knife across the box. He licked the end of the blade, much to the surprise of Shikamaru.

What Shikamaru didn't notice was the small drop of blood that had been hanging on his knee, dripped off and had been sitting on the edge of the box.

Hidan jumped on his board and stabbed himself through the stomach. Shikamaru screamed and fell to his knees.

Hidan pulled the weapon out and attacked himself once more. He shanked himself in his kidney and fell to his knee, "Fuck yea! This hurts so fucking good!"

Shikamaru grabbed his kidney and fell off the box. Naruto ran out as Hidan started to bring the weapon towards his heart.

Naruto stepped in front of the weapon and stopped it with his hand, "You already won. It's over."

Hidan let that murderous gleam disappear from his eye and cleared his throat, "Yea well…Akatsuki brings in yet another win."

Naruto ran over and grabbed Shikamaru over his shoulder, "Come on…I'll get you to Sakura-chan and she will help you."

Naruto ran with Shikamaru leaning on his shoulder with ragged breathing.

Sakura grimaced, "I just got back…Deidara-kun will never be able to use that eye again…but…they can replace it with a mechanical one. Give me Shika-kun, I need to get him to the nearest hospital."

Naruto nodded and handed over his friend and he realized that Shikamaru bled all over his shirt, "Shit! Man…this shirt is completely ruined."

Kisame let his sword blade dropped to the ground in front of him and smiled at Lee, "It's going to be fun ripping your arms from your body."

Lee grabbed his new Lotus Flower Blind board (A/N: Behind Naruto, he breaks the most boards) and cracked his knuckles, "this will be a very youthful experience."

Kisame shook his head, "We are playing Knock Off."

Sasuke shook his head as the two skated off, "Naruto-dobe…what do you think, they are absolutely destroying us. I don't get it."

Naruto nodded his head in agreement, "I know, but I don't know what we are supposed to do about them."

Sasuke nodded his head, "We should just forfeit…I know it sounds pretty weak, but these guys are on a whole different level than us."

"No," Naruto said quickly, "No matter how scared you are, we cannot forfeit, we are the Konoha Kings! We earned that title from the last ones and I don't know about you, but I like being a Konoha King."

"Your right…lets win this one."

Lee was holding his arm, which was bleeding badly from that youthful sword/skateboard.

He grabbed the bandages along his wrists and unwrapped them. Kisame watched his approach with interest, and was surprised when the bandages wrapped around his board and yanked it from under him. He fell and slid across the ground.

Lee stopped his board and jumped up and down, "And the youthful victory goes to me!"

Naruto jumped up, "See Sasuke-teme, we are gonna win!"

Sasuke shook his head and grabbed his board, "Looks like I'm up next."

Tobi adjusted his mask and laughed, "I will finish this one quick, because I am good like that."

Sasuke dropped in the half pipe and headed towards the big 12-foot tall half pipe with Tobi following inches behind.

Sasuke got to the top of the ramp, twisted, and stared into Tobi's eyehole.

Tobi flew up the ramp and punched Sasuke in his jaw. Sasuke barely managed to grab his board before he was thrown over the ramp onto the ground bellow.

Sasuke breathed out deeply, he had almost lost right there, but he managed to flip and land on the board.

He cracked his jaw, it felt broken, but he knew it wasn't because his jaw had only been broken once, and it was by Naruto.

Sasuke skated around to see Tobi coming back to Earth and decided to set up his trap. He set up the skinny wire with an explosive note attached to the middle.

Tobi saw it, "Ah shit!"

Tobi hit the wire and disappeared in the following explosion. First bits of board flew out of the other side, followed by Tobi who flipped in the air and smashed his head on the ground.

Tobi stood up, "Ow. That kinda hurt."

Naruto cheered and looked at Itachi, "Looks like we are gonna win, huh Itachi-teme."

"You guys can't win," Itachi said as he jumped on his board and skated over to Tobi, "Get up you baka."

Tobi stood up, "Jeez…I didn't think that your little brother was that good."

Itachi shook his head, "No…it's just cause your weak."

Naruto took a deep breath, "Are you ready or not Itachi."

Itachi turned and looked at him, "…yea………"

Naruto spat on the ground and Itachi smiled at him, "We are going to play…HORSE."

Naruto laughed and jumped on the board, "Let's play."

Itachi jumped on the rail in a backside board slide, "Backside board slide."

Naruto laughed, "Easy."

Naruto started to ride to the rail, but his jaw dropped in surprise when the entire arena turned dark red.

Naruto stopped and looked around. The ground had two shades of red, however the lighter red was covering the tops of the ramps and was all over every ramp, quarter, half pipe, rail, etc.

He saw the rail up ahead and decided to win this even though he was in some weird world. Big mistake.

Naruto skated towards toward the rail so he could do the trick, however to his surprise he smashed into an invisible wall. He felt blood spurt from his nose and fell off his board.

Naruto got up and wiped his nose when he heard a voice say, "That's an H Naruto-teme. Let's try another"

Naruto swore he knew him, but he decided to just do the trick so he turned towards the quarter pipe and rocketed up the jump.

To his surprise he slipped on that lighter red stuff that was covering the ramp. The board flew straight up without him and went super high. He smashed his head on the ground and realized what the bright red substance was. It was blood.

He just managed to stand when his board slammed on his head. He heard a loud crack and really hoped the board had made that noise and not his head.

He gently put the board down and heard Itachi's smug voice once more, "That's an O."

It continued like this until Naruto had H-O-R-S. Itachi was feeling like the winner and decided to finish it in an embarrassing way for Naruto. He jumped on a half pipe and dropped in.

He flipped backwards and called out calmly, "Just a back flip."

(A/N: I know that made it seem like it was easy, but back flips are hard. I tried to do one, and I smashed my head on the ground. From that, you all probably know what is about to happen.)

Naruto saw the quarter pipe and decided to use it to his advantage. He skated towards it hoping he didn't hit anything. Just before he reached the quarter pipe he hit a box and flipped over. The board shattered into pieces and he smashed his face on the ground.

Naruto felt the intense pain and passed out, ending the Genjustsu.

Sasuke ran over, "Itachi you bastard! Why the hell did you put him under an ancient Uchiha Genjustsu? You know it's not possible for anyone except another Uchiha to get out of it."

Itachi laughed, "Let me show you something…Hey Sakura take Naruto back to his apartment."

Sakura grabbed Naruto and with Lee's help carried him to the apartment.

They spent the rest of the day cleaning him up and hoping he would awaken soon.

Naruto's whole crew got messed up and Itachi wants to talk to Itachi.
