Erza's P.O.V.
I ran through the woods keeping an eye out for an members of the Akatsuki. I heard someone running through the trees behind me and stopped. "Hey I figured you might need some help." Kakashi said. "Well I might need some help with this next member." I admitted. I needed help to finish Deidara off after all. "I know that they're close." Kakashi stated. "Then we shouldn't waste time." I said. "Right." He replied.
Kakashi was a ninja, so I had to use my flight armor in order to keep up. "You alright?" Kakashi asked. "I appreciate the concern, but I'm fine." I said. Kakashi nodded and looked ahead again.
Suddenly I was hit from the side and knocked into the tree next to me. "Erza!" Kakashi yelled. "DAMN IT! I THOUGHT THAT THAT ONE WOULD PUT YOU DOWN FOR THE COUNT!" Someone yelled. They didn't notice that I switched armor. My Black Wing armor had a slight scratch in it. "The hell? WHAT IS THAT DAMN JUTSU!?" The guy screamed. He charged at me again, but this time Kakashi attacked. "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!" Kakashi yelled. Before the water could even touch me, Kakashi grabbed me from the Akatsuki when his guard was down and made me take cover.
The water knocked down trees and made the ground shake, Kakashi and I went flying. I barely felt a thing as we hit the ground. Kakashi landed swiftly on a rock that hadn't been hit by the attack. " Mangekyo Sharingan..." Kakashi muttered. I noticed that his eye had went completely red, but figured it was just another jutsu. "Lightning Empress Armor!" I yelled. "Kamui Lightning Cutter." Kakashi said. "Lightning Beam!" I screamed. We aimed our attacks at the member of the Akatsuki and sent him flying into the ground. Absolutely positive that we had buried him for good, we let our guard down.
"You alright, Erza?" Kakashi asked. "I'm fine. Thanks for your concern." I replied. He nodded. "Come on. We need to report back to Lady Tsunade." Kakashi stated. "I'm right behind you." I said and we took off.
Naruto's P.O.V
I ran through the woods looking for Wendy. "Wendy! Hey come on out!" I yelled. I ran through a river and across a bridge. I stopped in the middle of the bridge when I had noticed that someone was sitting on the other side. He looked like a scorpion, but there was no way that could be right. I reached for a kunai when I heard someone come around from behind me. "Geez that was a work out..." It was Lucy!
"Well, it looks like someone else joined our battle..." The scorpion guy said. "Who are you anyway!?" I asked. This guy is going to get on my nerves. "Open gate of the scorpion, Scorpio!" Lucy yelled. A gold circle appeared and a guy with red and white hair showed up. "We are here to help you out, Lucy!" Scorpio exclaimed. I looked at Lucy with a confused expression. "Who's that guy?" I asked. "This is Scorpio. He's a celestial spirit." Lucy explained. I was still confused, but decided to drop it. "Iron Sand Drizzle!" The Akatsuki member yelled. "Sand Wall!" Scorpio yelled. A giant wall made out of sand appeared. It held the needles back just barely.
"Red Summoning Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets." The Akatsuki member said. Puppets started raining from the sky and attacking Scorpio! "Hey, knock it off!" I yelled. "Lucy send me back!" Scorpio exclaimed. Lucy picked up the key and forced the scorpion to leave. Puppets started running at me. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" I exclaimed. The clones started fighting off the puppets, but Lucy was having a rough time. She dodged one of the puppets, but another one came up behind her with a sword. "Lucy look out!" I screamed. Just as the blade was inches away from her back a giant wave of snow and air came out of no where. "I'm sorry we're late, Gorgeous.." Someone said. "Yeah. This forest is huge." Someone else replied. "Ren! Eve!" Lucy exclaimed. 'Who?' I thought. Two guys in suits emerged from the forest. "Allow us to make it up to you, Beautiful. Let us take care of this guy." The guy now known as Eve said. "Yeah." Ren said. Lucy nodded. "Good luck you two." Lucy said and started running across the bridge. Surprisingly, the Akatsuki member just let her by. Lucy stopped. "Come on, Naruto!" The blonde yelled. "Oh yeah! Coming!" I yelled and ran across the bridge.
Eve's P.O.V
"Are you ready, Ren?" I asked seriously. "Yeah.." He replied. I glared at the guy with the cloak. "Then let's go!" I yelled and ran towards the scorpion looking guy. "Fools. Prepare for your death." The guy said.
The real battle has finally begun.
I feel like Hidan went down WAY TOO easily, but whatever. I hope that you enjoy anyway because we are coming down to our final chapters. Also because of requests, I will be pairing two couples together. Find out who they are in the next chapter!
