You should recognize this beginning part, but do not worry and don't skip it all; there is something added to it. P.S. You should read Shinobi Tales, by Antire5, if you have not already.

The rain continued to fall. Kai didn't mind it at all. It would disguise his tears from Tobi. "I know what you're doing, Kai. You forget I have the sharingan." Kai looked away from his face. This wasn't how things were supposed to end. "It's ok; trust me, but why is it that you shed tears?" Kai's reply was simply, "I don't want to lose you; you are my Bestest friend. You are the only person I can ever trust."

"If that is true, then I want you to do something for me. Promise me this."

"I swear to it! Anything at all, please tell me!" Tobi turned his eyes away from Kai's stare. "I want you to take my eyes, and then kill me." Kai gasped in horror. "You tricked me! You know I can't do that!"

"You promised me. Please, as a dying wish." Tobi and Kai continued to stare at each other through the rain. Kai gave in with a deep sob. He reached from behind to grab a kunai…

Tobi took it from him and took out his eyes. Kai grabbed the same kunai and took his own eye out. He put the Sharingan-possessing eye in place, and Tobi put his hands up to his face. A greenish-blue light emitted from his chakra, and the eye was in Kai's possession. Tobi bent up, and whispered something into Kai's ear…

"Don't worry. You won't remember this, but I will not die. I am immortal, and my soul is hiding somewhere safe. One day, we may meet again. Don't die while I am gone. One more thing, my real name is…. MADARA UCHICHA!"

**************************

"Mangekyou!" yelled Kai. Hidan was looking straight into his eye, so the capture was a success. Kai hoped that he was right, and he sent a long, painful, diminishing mental attack at Hidan. Hidan fell to the ground two minutes later. To Hidan, it probably felt like days, or even weeks. Kai did not fall down, which meant that he was indeed correct. "You're attack is purely physical. Therefore, a mental attack was perfect for the situation. Ishimaru ran up to Kai and hugged him. A tear began to flow, and Kai asked why? Ishimaru replied with a shrug.

"I told you last time; I don't know why, but there is a connection between us. It's almost like we are siblings." This struck Kai, but he knew that now was not a time for reunion. He turned back to the KO'd Hidan. Kai used his second element to finish up the job. He threw paper-bombed kunai at the ground, around Hidan. Next, he made a few signs, the last one ending in bird. A small circumference of a circle was created, and the kunai sunk in. Down below, a Boom was heard. Next, Kai made a few more signs. The sound of water drew nearer, as the circumference became a spout for water. A giant vortex was shot into the sky, Hidan lying in the middle of it. Next, the water came down from all direction, creating a giant bubble of water that pulled Hidan down into the depths of rock, mud, water, and permanent defeat.

Ishimaru stepped forward and made the sign of the Snake.

"Earth Manipulation!"

The content of the whole was buried under more earth. At the top, Ishimaru shot down giant spikes of Earth and Rock. The top was washed away with excess water from below. Hidan was surely done for. Ishimaru stepped a couple more feet back, and performed more hand signs. When he touched the ground, Kai could feel some rumbling. In front of him, a hole was formed and out came the three-bladed scythe from earlier. Kai grabbed it, and pulled the rest of it out. The hole then reburied itself.

"Think of it as a thank you present, from me." Said Kai. Now it was time to see how Sasuke was doing.

**************************

Sasuke was hiding in a tree. Two giant monster things with masks were left. The others were taken out with his chidori. That meant that he could no longer use his chidori. Already, his curse mark was covering half of his face. He refused to use it; he wanted to gain his own power, which seemed like he never could. He had to finish it off before the other two came back. This was HIS opponent, and HE would defeat him. Sasuke charged out at Kakuzu and threw his kunai at his enemy. The enemy only deflected it with his thread. Damn it all!

Sasuke decided that it didn't matter if he used someone else's power. All that mattered were if HE used it, so that would mean that it WAS his power. He was going to do it. Sasuke smirked and being laughing himself. His curse mark began to flow out from his neck. His whole body was covered in the marks, and they solidified. A purple chakra engulfed Sasuke, and Kakuzu took a step back. Sasuke threw a giant shruiken and appeared behind Kakuzu when he evaded it. He grabbed his arms, and ripped them off of his body. The hearts from the monsters flew back into Kakuzu, from some pressure point in his arm. From there, Sasuke stuck the hands to the ground with his last two kunai.

Sasuke pulled his left hand out in front of him. He placed it on Kakuzu's head and summoned forth his chidori. Sparks of electricity fly into Kakuzu's head and it is severed off. With the head discarded, Sasuke made his way through the body for the remaining hearts. Right before the last heart was taken out, Kakuzu threw the thread from his back out across the field. There, it transformed into one of the masked monsters. Sasuke threw Kakuzu backwards, as far from the heart as he could manage at the time. It was pretty far. Kakuzu went smashing through many trees, and ended up flying past Ishimaru and Kai. They looked at each other and ran back to where Kakuzu lay.
