Chapter 14

Team 7 ran through the woods at top speed as their enemies followed close behind

"Kakashi- sensei which way now?" shouted Naruto at the front.

Kakashi ran ahead of him

"Just follow me" he said turning left.

Finally they reached the bottom of the spot that they had first entered this village at.

"How do we get back sensei?" asked Sakura out of breath.

"Just wait" he replied looking at the moon.

"Just a few more seconds, a few more" he started muttering to himself still staring at the moon.

"Kakashi what are you waiting for?" shouted Sasuke looking behind them, "they are nearly here"

A bright light shone from the moon straight down to the ground,

"That is what I was waiting for, now quickly go into the light" ordered Kakashi.

"I DON'T WANNA GO INTO THE LIGHT I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE" screamed Naruto running around like the baka he was.

"God Naruto you're such an idiot" said Sakura while picking him up and throwing him into it then quickly following after. Everyone else took her lead and entered the light.

They ended up by the cliff side that they had jumped off.

"Owwww Sakura" whined Naruto getting up and rubbing his bum.

"Well you should stop being an idiot in serious situations" she glared before wobbling a little. Sasuke quickly rushed to her side.

"You ok?" he asked.

"Yeah just a little dizzy" she replied, "I'm still ill"

"Guys I think we should get Sakura back to Kohona" Sai stated

Sakura shook her head, "no they are going to be coming after us soon, and we might as well just fight and end this now"

"But…." started Naruto

"No buts, Sakura is right, all they will do is follow us to Kohona and that means the villagers will be put into danger" interrupted Kakashi

Sakura smiled at Kakashi but the moment was interrupted with a bitter laugh.

"Aww team 7 and their selfless acts" taunted Kabuto.

"Shut up" shouted Naruto.

"We end this now" said Sasuke staring menacingly at Tobi.

"Ha-ha a bunch of teenagers thinks they can defeat Tobi and friends it is funny" laughed Tobi doing a little dance as well.

"God you're annoying" and with that Sasuke jumped into action kicking Tobi in the gut.

Soon a battle had started.

Kisame and Yamoto

Yamoto quickly did a jutsu trapping Kisame in a wooden cage.

"Do you really think that will hold me" he said while swishing his blade cutting the cage in half. He ran towards Yamoto with his sword. Yamoto barely just side stepped him but still managed to get caught on his shoulder leaving a gashing wound.

Tobi and Sasuke

Sasuke activated his sharingan and stared at Tobi waiting for him to make a move but he just stood there and giggled.

"How did you get into Akatsuki?" asked Sasuke. Tobi giggling soon turned into an evil laugh.

Before Sasuke could even register Tobi was behind him.

"Because of my talents" and with that Tobi kicked Sasuke into a tree then on contact picked him up and threw himself against another tree. Sasuke managed to flip him and land on the tree holding himself up with chakra. Tobi kicked the tree breaking it but Sasuke jumper off in time.

Pein and Naruto

"So you're the leader" said Naruto smirking, "easy kill you and all our problems are over with"

"That is where you are wrong" replied Pein, "obtaining you and the Kyubi is where all the problems end"

Naruto glared at him.

"KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU", Naruto and his clones charged at Pein. All the clones attacked Pein with a flurry of punches and kicks but somehow Pein managed to dodge them all.

Pein grabbed the real Naruto's ankle and hurled him into several clones making them puff. Naruto got back up wiping blood from his lip. He summoned another clone and started to make his signature jutsu. The Rasengan.

Zetsu and Sai

Sai quickly whipped out a paint brush and started drawing lions using his hand signs to bring them to life. Just as they were about to attack Zetsu he once again disappeared into the earth below him.

This time Sai quickly drew an eagle and once it too was alive he leapt on to it and used his advantage of height to look down to see if he could spot Zetsu.

Sai made a mistake of flying too low near a tree. Zetsu's through a kunai at the eagle turning it back into a smear of ink. Sai quickly flipped and landed on his feet but just as his foot touched the ground he was pulled under it.

"Not as quick as you think you are" smirked the light head of Zetsu.

Kabuto and Kakashi

Once again senbon were flying at Kakashi but he coolly dodged all of them before throwing his own kunais. Two senbon pierced his chest but just before Kabuto could smirk, Kakashi disappeared in a poof of smoke and in his place was a log, the same two senbon sticking out of it.

Before Kabuto could scan the area he was being pulled straight down into the earth. Kakashi popped up behind him to give the final blow but quickly realised that in the hole wasn't Kabuto but one of his spare body puppets.

Konan and Sakura

"I still don't understand what my comrades see in you because all I see is a pathetic weak girl" commented Konan.

"And all I see in you is a pathetic old lady" argued Sakura.

Enraged, Konan turned into a flurry of papers that started swirling Sakura.

"Oh so that is you trick got to say it is pretty pointless" but just as Sakura said this she started getting little cuts all over her body.

"Ha ha aww poor baby getting paper cuts" laughed Konan her voice echoing in the vortex.

Though the cuts were only small, Sakura could see a lot of blood escaping through them.

Quickly thinking she punched the ground hoping that the flying earth would be enough of a distraction to get her out of the tornado of paper.

Finally out of the torturous spiral of hell, she started to feel the pain of all the cuts on her body, she was starting to feel dizzy again as well and soon she had collapsed on the floor.

She tried looking around but her eyes were getting heavier. She saw Kakashi get stabbed in the side.

She turned her head to see Sai and Naruto already passed out on the floor.

She looked to the right and saw Yamoto on his knees with Kisame's Sword half imbedded in his arm.

She lifted her head a little.

She saw Tobi get his kunai out.

Sasuke turning around.

Tobi lunging forward.

She tried to scream out.

Sasuke's face scrunching up in pain as the kunai went into his stomach.

She saw the blood emit from Sasuke's mouth.

Sasuke falling to the ground.

Tobi standing over him smiling.

Sakura quickly gathered the strength to get to her knees. Wobbling she stood up and tried to get her breathing under control.

Akatsuki turned to look at her.

"Aww what is a girl to do now that her protectors have fallen" taunted Kabuto.

She glared at him then took a deep breath. With determination and anger in her eyes she rapidly did some hands signs. Konan went to attack but pain stopped her.

"Wait I want to see what she is going to do" he commanded. Konan unwillingly stopped.

Sakura's hand signs got quicker. A blue circle appeared around her. She kept making hand signs.

Five balls appeared from the circle and started floating around her. She pushed her hands out in front of her in the direction the boys.

A ball entered each of the guys and started automatically healing all major wounds.

Sakura's body finally couldn't take it anymore and she ended up passing out.

"What we do now?" asked Kisame.

"Take the girl but leave the Kyubi," replied Pein.

"Why leave him?" asked Kabuto.

"Because she restored his health and if we take just her then her team mates will follow anyway and next time we will kill them and make sure she doesn't save them" he replied once again, "and then the Kyubi won't be able to escape us"

Tobi picked Sakura up bridal style and left with the rest of Akatsuki leaving behind five unconscious men.
