Chapter 12:

Lightning Gem

Team Kakashi arrived in Iwagakure one day later, the day after the death of the leader of the village. The town was empty, almost all of the people attended his funeral. Nightfall plagued the ninja world and rain touched the sky of the stone ninja's village.

"The Tsuchikage?" Shi propped himself against a wall in the inn which they all were staying while in Iwagakure.

"Yes." Kakashi was sitting at the table re-reading his old make-out paradise book. "That is what those earthquakes were. Oroki-sama being attacked by... someone. Not to mention the news of Gaara-sama being attacked."

"Who?" Kanari asked. Her and Ross sat opposite of Kakashi drinking warm sweet tea.

"Was it Orochimaru?" Ross took a large sip of his tea. "By the way... this sucks."

"No, as far as I know, he would not have any reason to kill the Tsuchikage or attack the Kazekage so openly." Kakashi flipped the pages of his book, reading as he spoke.

"Well, at least Tsunade-sama wasn't killed." Shi tried to find a light in the entire situation.

"That's true." Kakashi closed his book. "We have successfully delievered the Daiymo to his destination, we will leave in the morning." He left the kitchen and plopped onto the couch. "Get a good nights sleep."

"Who would do something like this?" Kanari tried to grasp the concept of killing. "Why?"

Ross stood up and dumped his tea out. "This stuff is just... ugh." He stretched while yawning. "I don't under-" Ross yawned again. "-stand either, it's time for us to sleep, we can figure this out in the morning."

Kanari looked over at Shi, who was leaning against the wall dead asleep. "Ok." She smiled and walked into the bedroom.

Ross put his butt against the wall and let it slide down until it was on the ground.

I know who did it. The zero tail's voice disrupted Ross.

"Just stop..." He was in his mindscape standing outside the sealed off half.

Stop? I am only trying to help you. HAhAHahA... Ross's mindscape shook. The one who did it, was my creator.

"Creator?" Ross's ears perked up. "What do you mean?"

Nothing. You don't need to concern yourself. If you do not need my help... Yamikage smiled.

"Wait... Maybe if you could help?" Ross swiftly responded.

In return, I expect your body. Yamikage laughed.

"Forget it." Ross opened his eyes, he was back at the inn. "I need a little sleep." Once again, he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.

"Sonafabitch you can suck on my dick!" A dark tanned man backflipped onto the roof of a building. He wore the Raikage's robes and a yellow-white bandana with a Kumo ninja symbol engraved into it.

"Killer Bee... You annoying fuck. Just as annoying as ever." Sasuke was standing on the empty street in Kumogakure across from Killer Bee, his sword drawn.

"You think I'm scared of you? Well you KNOW that ain't true." Bee grabbed the hilt on his back. "Now face my blade, you'll see who's really great." He pulled the large bandaged weapon off his back and held it with two hands towards Sasuke.

"This is gonna be different now that I have Samehada, muthafucka!" He charged straightforward at Sasuke, who easily jumped onto a building to dodge.

Bee! Don't get too cocky or you will regret it. This guy is different than he was before. Raikage or no, you are not immortal! The monsterous eight tails yelled at the careless Killer Bee.

"You really tick me off." Sasuke pointed the Snake Sword at Bee, his eyes turned red. "Burn into Oblivion!" He put his free hand in front of his mouth. "Fire Style: Giant Fireball justu!" A large ball of fire blew out of his hand and aimed at Bee.

Samehade absorbed the blast, the bandages burned off. It was made from shark skin and had a concealed mouth at the tip, the sword was alive. It "Gi-ed" and wiggled around.

"What the hell kinda sword is that?" Sasuke jumped into the moonlight.

"Where'd he go?" Killer Bee looked around his surroundings. "I wanted to make him run to his mama wearing baby pajamas!"

Bee! He's in the building under you! The eight tails warned.

The building crumbled and exploded into fire. A man and a woman holding a baby ran into the empty streets screaming.

"Leave the innocents alone, or I will break your bones!" Killer Bee jumped onto a newly shut down restraunt with a large "closed forever" sign hanging on it.

"Oh? Is that your weakness?" Sasuke jumped from the burning building and stabbed his blade through the man's heart.

With his last breath he uttered. "Run..."

The woman with the baby ran crying and hugged her child tight in her arms.

"No!" Bee yelled as Sasuke smiled and rushed at the woman.

Sasuke was crushed in the eight tails enormous hand. "I said don't." Killer Bee's voice came from the hundred feet tall creature.

"Agh... Hell..." He felt his bones crushing as he tried to pull himself out of the large hand. The Bull-Octopus opened it's mouth.

"Now you are fucked, you dick munch." Bee threw the immobilized Sasuke into the air and shot a yellow-black electric beam from his mouth, it engulfed him.

Jonin were surrounding the area of the eight tails. "Someone attacked Raikage-sama?" A gray haired man asked.

"Yeah, they are being attacked left and right. The Tsuchikage was killed, the Hokage and Kazekage were injured, I guess obviously the Mizukage and Raikage were left." A brown haired ninja told him.

"Then it would be smart to send word." The gray haired man warned the ninja.

Killer Bee exploded into a cloud of smoke. He was standing on the roof of the restraunt again. Many jonin jumped to his rescue. "Don't worry I finished him, now he can't win."

"Lord Raikage, I told you to stay inside." The brown haired ninja crossed his arms.

"I needed fresh air, not that you cared." Bee quickly thought up more rhymes. "But, turns out tonight I had to come out and fight." He sensed Sasuke and jumped into front of the brown haired ninja.

"Now we're fucked!" Bee was thrusted by Sasuke's sword. It pierced his lower torso. He swung his blade, tearing Sasuke's shirt and skin underneath.

"Bee-sama?" The brown haired ninja worried about his master.

Sasuke pulled on Killer Bee's robe and pushed it back, then jumped onto the building opposite of the restraunt.

"Damn, that hurt." He left the blade in Bee and held his bleeding chest. The Snake Sword poofed away still inside Bee's chest. "It was fun but I have what I came for!" Sasuke held up his right hand. It gleamed, a gem filled with lightning bolts was in between his pointer and thumb. "Bye!" He jumped onto another building and further away.

"Chase him!" The brown haired ninja pointed at Sasuke. The jonin readied to jump, but Killer Bee was already behind him. "Lord Raikage! You are wounded! You just cannot do this, you must not die!" The jonin yelled across the village.

Bee smashed Sasuke in the back with his large blade, forcing him to crash into a tall building. "I don't have time for this." Sasuke pushed away the rubble; as he stood up the Curse mark spread, covering his entire body.

"Chidori!" Sasuke's left hand exploded into lightning. He put the lightning behind him and jumped at Killer Bee, then swung.

"Samehada show him watcha got-ta!" Bee protected himself with the sword. It cut up and ate at the chakra around Sasuke's hand.

Use me, Bee! The eight tails readied itself. Aw dammit... I just rhymed...

"Dammit!" Sasuke flipped backwards, holding his bleeding left hand. "That fucking sword!" He stood nearly ten feet from Bee. I can't just run. He is so much faster... Unless...

"You are too much of a threat to everyone. I can't allow you to live." Killer Bee dropped Samehada and thrusted his left arm at Sasuke. It changed into a large reddish tentacle and wrapped around him, the tentacle squeezed and crushed.

"Damn... You..." Sasuke struggled to speak. He flexed and pushed on the squishy tentacle. "Let me out!" He was engulfed in a purple light. Sasuke's destroyed the tentacle and backflipped onto another building. Hard black material grew over his wrists and shins.

"That's two of my tentacles you took, you fucking little crook!" Killer Bee's arm retracted. "Gimme the gem, slim." He put his right palm out.

"Hahaha. You won't get it. Let's see you catch me like this!" Sasuke vanished.

"What the hell? He was fo' real!" Bee lost sight of him. The brown haired jonin appeared next to his master.

"Follow him! Trackers!" He yelled. "Master. Please come back inside." He put his hand on Bee's shoulder. "It's up to the tracker ninja to catch him."

"Take care of the women who's husband was killed. Oh hell... Whoever is doing this has four of the gems." Killer Bee shook his head.

"Four?" The brown haired ninja spit. "That ain't good."
