Chapter 13 - Battle: Sennin vs Akatsuki Part I

Last Time

The group of eight turned to see a man with orange hair and Rinnegan eyes with seven other nin in black robes with red clouds behind him. Naruto's eyes narrowed, "Nagato I presume?"

Pein's eyes narrowed, "That is Pein-sama to you. So you're the Kyuubi jinchuuriki who claims to be the Rikudo Sennin Reborn? You may look the part but your power cannot match me. I am a god!"

Naruto smirked, "That remains to be seen, Nagato. Kaosu. Does his power compare to a god's."

Kaosu shook his head, "Not even close. I should know. I work for fucking Yami for Kami's sake."

Pein sneered, "You think you can beat us?! We will capture you! We will bring peace to this world!"

Naruto's group raised their eyebrows in surprise, "Bring peace? With the biju? Somehow that seems more like threatening people to get along rather than actually convincing them. If you seek to take the biju and somehow use them to create a false peace then I will stop you."

Naruto and his Paths instantly got into fighting stance, "Let's see who's the real successor to the Rikudo Sennin, shall we Nagato?"

Pein narrowed his eyes at the matching pairing from the boy across from him, "Yes, we shall. Akatsuki. Kill them."

Instantly, the Six Paths, the Harbinger, and the Akatsuki all went at it in an all out duel while Naruto drew Ekusukariba and pointed it at Nagato, "Nagato, you are going to fall here. You are a threat to this world; a threat that as the Rikudo Sennin Tensei am required to remove."

Pein sharpened his glare before the other five paths landed next to Pein, "You, boy, are going to die today."

The Pein's Preta path charged Naruto and the fight was joined.

Hashirama vs Hidan and Kakuzu

"Well, Kakuzu," Hashirama stated as he looked to see the combatants before him. "I see your still breathing even after all these years."

Kakuzu scoffed, "Yeah, stealing people's hearts has kept me going long past you. I wonder how much I can get off your corpse on the black market? The DNA of the Shodaime Hokage should get anybody's attention."

Hashirama smirked, "You couldn't defeat me last time. What makes you so sure you can beat me now?"

"Hehe," his partner smirked. "We are immortal, ya fucker! We cannot die! Mokuton or not, you can't beat us!"

"Well then, I'll just have to prove you two wrong then."

Tobirama vs Kisame

Tobirama stared down his shark-like opponent, who had a vicious smirk on his face. The sharp-toothed man laughed out loud, "Well well, it appears we actually get to meet, Nidaime Hokage. I am Hoshigaki Kisame, former member of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shū and affectionately known as the Tailless Biju."

Tobriama couldn't help but grin, "I will admit you have an incredibly rare chakra capacity, but the chakra capacity of a biju is something not you or any human other than the Rikudo Sennin has ever achieved."

"Maybe so, but it's more than enough to beat you," Kisame smirked. "I can't say I've ever fought a Senju before. This is going to be fun."

"It will be until your dead," Tobirama stated before using his perfect chakra control to summon a water dragon out of thin air.

Minato vs Deidara

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Minato was quickly using his Hiraishin to dodge the clay bombs that the appropriately titled 'nuke-nin' was launching at him. When the explosions finally ceased, the former Yondaime stared down his opponent, "I may be just guessing but I'm guessing your the sabetour of the group."

"Name's Deidara, yeah," the man said smiling darkly. "I'm going to make you pay for what you did to Iwa all those years ago."

Minato raised his eyes, "You mean the nation you abandoned?"

"I'm still an Iwa nin by blood, yeah. I left because they couldn't understand my art."

Minato blinked, "Your. . . art?"

"Yes, art," Deidara said grinning like a madman. "IS AN EXPLOSION!"

Deidara suddenly because throwing a flurry of clay bird at him causing Minato to prepare his Hiraishin kunai, "Well, shit."

Mito vs Sasori

"Uzumaki Mito," said the scrunched-over puppeteer. "Wife of the Shodaime Hokage and grandmother of the Godaime Hokage. I never thought I'd have you as an opponent."

"Flattery will get you no where with me," Mito scoffed. "You seem to be a puppeteer from Sunagakure am I not correct?"

"Indeed I am. I am Sasori. Once this fight is over, I shall turn you into one of my puppets."

"Ha, good luck with that, puppet boy. I'm not going to become some doll that your ass can play with! Bring it!" Mito exclaimed as she summoned a pair of katanas and entered a fighting stance.

Kushina vs Konan

"Konan I presume?" Kushina asked folding her arms causing the blue haired woman's eyes to widened. "You know who I am?"

Kushina nodded, "Jiraiya used to always talk about his old students. He would be ashamed to here about what you've become."

Konan glared at the red haired woman across from her, "What would you know?! How would you know what he thinks?"

"Because he's Minato-koi's sensei and the godfather of my son," Kushina sighed. "Anyway, since you obviously aren't going to listen to reason, I'm afraid you are going to have to die."

Kushina readied herself to summon, "I'll apologize to Jiraiya later but you're going down, dattebane."

Hiruzen vs Itachi

"Hello, Itachi," Hiruzen said to the young Uchiha across from him.

"Hello, Hokage-sama," Itachi stated causing Hiruzen to laugh.

"I'm not Hokage anymore, Itachi. Call me Hiruzen," the former Sandaime smiled causing the ex-Uchiha Heir to nod.

"I'm sorry about-"

"Don't worry about it, Itachi," Hiruzen smiled. "Just give me a damn good fight. I want to see how far you've come since you left."

"Of course. . . Hiruzen. . ."

Kaosu vs Zetsu

Zetsu was watching from a distance when his instincts suddenly kicked in causing him to jump back as a scythe swung forth striking the sand where he once was. Zetsu looked at his attacker and saw a dark-haired man gazing at him with piercing blue eyes. The man spun his scythe and observed his opponent, "Well, I can't say I've ever fought someone quite like you before; half black, half white, all plant. So, what is your name?"

"It's Zetsu," the plant man answered. "You are the Harbinger, correct?"

"Indeed, Mahotsukai Kaosu at you service. I must say I've never fought someone quite like you."

"Nor can I say I've ever fought a Harbinger before," Zetsu replied then laughed. "I wonder what a god's servant tastes like?"

Kaosu blinked in surprise, "Excuse me?"

"Once I defeat you, I will feast on your meat and bones!" Zetsu got into a fight stance and readied himself for the fight with the Harbinger. Kaosu's eyes narrowed as he sighed, "A cannibal. . . perfect."

In Otogakure. . .

"Orochimaru-sama," an Oto nin called to his master. The snake-like member of the Sannin turned to the nin and glared, "What is it? Speak quickly?"

Gathering his nerve, the shinobi spoke, "The Kyuubi and his paths have recently left Suna and the Akatsuki has left Ame. They're on a collision course. They are likely in combat as we speak."

"Really?" Orochimaru smirked interested. Finally some good news. "No matter which side wins it will make things easier for me in the future. I do believe though that the Kyuubi brat is going to lose. I know the Akatsuki and they won't fall that easily."

"You thought the same of Danzo, did you not?" came a voice out of the shadows putting Orochimaru and the shinobi in the room on guard.

"Who's there! Show yourself!" the snake Sannin cried. Before his eyes, a spiral of black chakra formed a man in an Akatsuki cloak and an orange-spiral mask with a single hole in it. Orochimaru's eyes narrowed at the now-visible intruder, "You are Akatsuki."

"Was," replied the figure. "Pein has let his pride get the best of him and now he has gone to fight the Kyuubi brat and his own Paths. I have gauged the power and skill difference between them and find that the brat, despite his inexperience and young age, will win that fight. The Akatsuki failed it's mission before it even arose. That is why I have come to you to help me fulfill it."

"And why should I help you in the en devour? Who are you anyway?"

The masked figure chuckled before continuing, "You know me, Orochimaru, as Uchiha Madara."

Hashirama vs Hidan and Kakuza

Hashirama dodged the furious swings of Hidan's tri-pronged scythe. He was smirking, "I guess immortality didn't exactly boost your skills, huh?"

Hidan growled, "Shut it, fucker, and hold still while I lob your head off!"

Hashirama laughed, "Now why would I do that?"

Hidan roared and swung again but missed entirely, "I said fucking hold still!"

Hashirama appeared behind him, "And my response to that is this: Mokuton: Hotei no Jutsu!"

With that, several, large wooden hands erupted from the surrounding sand and grabbed onto Hidan restraining all movement. Hidan was naturally pissed, "Oi! Let me go, fucker!"

"And again I must ask why sh-" Hashirama narrowly evaded an attack from the other Zombie brother. "So, you finally decided to join in Kakuzu."

"Quiet, I'm going to finished the mission I took all those decades ago," Kakuzu declared. "Right here, right now!"

"You couldn't beat me then. You most certainly won't beat me now!"

Kakuzu chuckled, "I know better than to hold back against you, Shodai Hokage. And you think it's mere coincidence that I have lived this long?"

Kakuzu pulled down his mask to reveal his young face. Hashirama blinked in surprise, "You're still young. . ."

Kakuzu grinned and torn off his Akatsuki cloak to reveal his stitched-up body. Hashirama eyes widened further and his slipped into a fighting stance. Kakuzu smiled, "Amazing what stealing people's hearts will do for you, eh, Hashirama?"

Hashirama frowned, "So that's how you have stayed alive all this time. I find that ironic since it's obvious you don't have a heart yourself."

"Save me the words. You know it doesn't matter what you say. Now die!"

The former Shodai evaded the stone fist of the heart-stealing nin and immediately unleashed his technique, "Mokuton: Sashiki no Jutsu."

A sharp branch of wood erupted from Hashirama's arm and he used it as a blade to slash at his opponent. Having no time to dodge, Kakuzu used his stone arm to block it. The two kage-level shinobi struggled in the clash, both determined to overpower the other. After a couple of seconds of struggle, they forced off each other, gazing at their opponent for a second. Kakuzu then began to laugh raising Hashirama's curiosity and caution level, "What are you laughing about?"

Kakuzu stopped laughing and grinned, "I should know by now not to hold back with you. I made that mistake last time. I will not again. Behold now the secret to my immortality, Takigakure's Secret, Forbidden Jutsu: Earth Grudge Fear."

Tobirama vs. Kisame

Kisame dodged another water dragon. This majority of the fight so far had been him avoiding water dragons from devouring him. It was starting to get annoying.

"You enjoy those water dragons too much. How about you actually fight me!" Kisame shouted as a dragon narrowly missed him.

Tobirama allowed himself a small smirk, "I may be a path of the True Sage but even I am not foolish enough or arrogant enough to allow a swordsmen, the most powerful of the seven at that, to get at me close range. Sword fighting is my sister-in-law's turf, not mine."

Kisame smirked as he dodged another one, "Alright then, how about a deal then."

The dragons stopped coming and the shark swordsman looked at his opponent, "What kind of a deal, Hoshigaki?"

"You must admit that the constant water dragons must get tiring and they're annoying for me to dodge. This duel is a stalemate, so how about we focus on something other than kenjutsu and ninjutsu."

"Oh," Tobirama raised an eyebrow. "What do you have in mind?"

"I put down my Samehada and you stop ninjutsu. We both fight, hand to hand. No weapons, no jutsu."

"I didn't think I'd hear such a thing from you," Tobirama said smirking.

"Normally, I wouldn't dream of it," Kisame admitted. "But it's much more interesting than the alternative."

"Hmph," Tobirama pondered for a minute. "Very well. It was getting boring trying to wait for you to tire out. I guess the gaki has rubbed off on me some. But do know if you use any jutsu when he start, the result will not be to your liking."

"Yeah I got it, but let's make the arena a little more. . . our style," Kisame then flashed through a couple hand signs. "Suiton: Dai Bakusui Shōha!"

A great eruption of water flooded out like a tsunami as Tobirama quickly used his chakra control to protect himself from the massive torrent. However, the water did not dissipate like Tobirama originally thought it would. Instead, it formed a massive dome of water around him.

"What the hell is going on?" Tobirama then heard from nearby 'Suirō Sameodori no Jutsu' and he returned his gaze to his opponent only for his eyes to widen in shock. His blade was finishing up fusing to its master, leaving a shark humanoid behind. The new Kisame was grinning with razor sharp teeth, "Ready for the fist fight, Nidaime-san? I look forward to ripping you to shreds!"

Minato vs. Deidara

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!

Minato was quite thankful he had invented the Hiraishin by now. These clay bombs followed him like the Inuzuka tracking hounds. He had to buy himself enough time to get himself up to where the psychopathic saboteur was firing his endless array of exploding clay figures. He quickly saw a couple more clay birds approaching him and smirked, "Shinra Tensei!"

The blast destroyed the clay bombs and protected him from the blast. Minato sighed, "I can't believe I forgot I could do that."

Minato then noticed more clay bombs approaching and sighed, "Dammit."

He quickly threw a hiraishin away from him and teleported just as the bombs detonated. Minato looked up at his opponent and his eyes widened as a plan entered his mind. It then melted into a smirk, "Well, guess I'm taking a plan from my own son."

Minato quickly ran through his hand signs and called out, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

With that, 10 kage bunshin of the Yondaime Hokage appeared next to him. They all used hiraishin and all teleported to different places. Deidara's eyes widened and sneered, "Oi! That's unfair, yeah!"

"Shinobi don't fight fair, yeah!" a Minato shouted up to him while crudely mimicking him.

Enraged, Deidara shouted back, "Think you're so clever, yeah! Take this!"

Deidara launched out a large flock a birds in his fury to take care of the Minatos. When they all reached their target he shouted out, "Katsu!"

KABOOM!

The explosions ravaged the sandy area causing an upcloud of sand and dust. Deidara looked down and laughed, "I bet that go him, yeah!"

Suddenly, a hiraishin kunai blasted through the dust cloud right passed Deidara. Deidara looked up in surprise as Minato appeared right above him, "You lost that bet! Take this! Rasengan!"

The Yondaime plows the spiraling, chakra sphere right into Deidara, knocking him off his clay bird and hurdling him into the ground in a large explosion of chakra. Minato landed nearby, "Direct hit, but I doubt it'll be that easy."

Sure enough, as the dust cleared, Deidara slowly got up. He was obviously pissed, "You! YOU piece of-"

"Yeah, yeah, I got it already. Are you going to fight or what?" Minato uttered impatiently.

Deidara sneered, "You want a fight, yeah. Fine then. I'll show you my C3 explosives!"

A large poof of smoke filled the air. Minato gazed on to see it clear and his eyes widened in surprise when they did. Deidara was now riding a large, clay dragon holding clay figurines in his hands. The dragon took to the skies as Deidara readied himself to throw the figurines, "Now, Yondaime-sama, let me show you my art! Take this!"

Deidara threw the clay bombs and Minato readied another kunai.

"Katsu!"

A massive explosion ripped through the desert launching sand everywhere. Minato had barely managed to escape the blast radius with the hiraishin. His eyes narrowed, "Well. . . shit."

Mito vs. Sasori

Mito was spinning a naginata to deflect the many poison senbon being fired at her by Sasori. She knew it'd be difficult to continuously dodge and deflect. She needed to get close to him so that such long-ranged attacks would prove useless. She took to the air using her chakra to propel her over Sasori to directly behind him. She prepared herself to finish the attack quickly but had to evade a large, sharp object directly aimed at her. She looked back and saw a metallic, scorpion tail protruding from a mask on Sasori's back.

Sasori chuckled, "Did you honestly think I could be beaten that easily."

"Hmph, it was worth a shot," Mito then exchanged her weapon for a spiked ball and chain. "Now it's your turn! Let's see if that puppet can dodge!"

Sasori quickly moved out of the way as the spiked ball crashed where he once was with a sand-splattering smash. Sasori turned towards the femme fatale firing his poisonous senbons. They hit their target. Sasori chuckled, "Looks like I win."

Mito herself smirked, "You'd think so wouldn't you?"

She flowed her chakra and the senbons fell out.

"I guess you forgot that poison cannot affect me. I am a path of the Sage. Did you really think it would work? My body runs on the chakra of Naruto and of my own soul. No blood, heart, or air is required of me to stay here."

Sasori's eyes narrowed, "Then why dodge and deflect when you knew you couldn't die to them."

"Just because they have no effect doesn't mean they aren't a pain to deal with. I tried to save myself the trouble but failed in the end I guess," Mito sighed. She then suddenly swung the ball and chain up and brought it crashing down again. Sasori evaded and turned to distract her with another senbon barrage but was suddenly met with the fist of the Uzumaki woman.

The puppet master flew backwards and crashed into the sand with a heavy thud. Sasori slowly arose and tried to fire his senbon again but noticed his jaw and firing mechanism were shattered. His eyes narrowed, "So you think you've beaten me? What kind of puppet master would I be if this was my only puppet."

Suddenly, the puppet broke apart and out of it appeared a young man with red hair wearing an Akatsuki cloak. Mito's eyes widened, "Wait a minute, how are you that young?"

Sasori chuckled, "I guess the information you have on the Akatsuki is not as good as you once thought. No matter, I think it's about time I ended this fight."

He summoned forth another puppet; a puppet known as the Sandaime Kazekage, "Do you not agree, Mito-san?"

Kushina vs. Konan

"Take this!" Konan shouted as she threw multiple paper shurikens at the red-haired Uzumaki. Kushina evaded them and slammed her palm to the ground, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

A large poof of smoke appeared and out of it flew numerous bats with Rinnegan eyes that flew right at Konan, swarming her. Konan braces herself as the swarm of flying mammals surrounded her and began to scratch and bite at her. Their loud screeches blasted right into her eardrums forcing her hands to her ears. Finally, she summoned up enough of her chakra to fight back, "Shikigami no Mai!"

Hundreds upon hundreds of sharp pieces of paper suddenly surged from around Konan, ripping the bat summons to shreds. Konan glared at her combatant who was smirking, "You think you are so clever don't you?"

"Actually, yeah I do. You think Minato-koi is the only genius around here? I am a tactician myself, dattebane!" Suddenly, chakra chains erupted from the ground entangling Konan. She however dispersed into paper, escaping the trap. She reformed in the air, this time with a pair of wings, and the chains followed her. The process repeated. A tick mark formed on Kushina's head, "Hold still, damn it!"

Still Konan evaded before finally summoning paper chakrams to deflect the chains giving her an opening. She formed a spike with her paper and fired it at Kushina. Her chains immediately vanished as she dodged the paper spike, which bursts into paper slips flying everywhere. Kushina's keen eye caught writing on the slips of paper and she immediately knew what they were. Paper bombs.

BOOM!

Kushina had narrowly avoided the trap as she glared up at the paper woman, "Clever but not good enough to beat me, dattebane! Take this, Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

A giant explosion of smoke revealed the giant spider Kushina used during the fight with the ROOT nin. The spider launched itself at the paper angel who summoned forth a paper sword and flew around the spider like a buzzing fly. She slashed the spider on its legs causing it to rise up to strike downward with its fangs giving Konan the opening to strike at its soft underbelly. The spider collapsed and the blue-haired woman turned towards her red-head counterpart.

Kushina sighed, "This isn't going to be as easy as I thought, dattebane."

Hiruzen vs. Itachi

Itachi's sharingan eyes were blazing as he tried to lay strike after strike on the former Sandaime. He kept missing. Itachi's eyes narrowed, "The Rinnegan must help them more than I originally thought."

Itachi missed another strike when Hiruzen ducked under an attack and dart side ways. He flash through hand signs and targeted Itachi's open side, "Katon: Karyūdan!"

Itachi reacted on instinct and summoned the Susanoo rib cage to shield him. The fire deflected harmless around him. Hiruzen's eyes narrowed, "Oh? This is interesting."

"This is the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Hiruzen. Let's see if your Rinnegan can match the power of this eye. Amaterasu [7]."

Black flames erupted and fired towards the former Sandaime in a fiery blaze of blackness. Hiruzen evaded the dangerous attack as it turned the sand where he once stood into hardened glass. The monkey-nin blinked, "Glad I didn't get hit with that."

"Then you might want to keep moving," Itachi said as another stream of black fire shot towards the former Shinobi no Kami. Hiruzen moved again quickly evading the blazing attack. Finally, Hiruzen had time to work, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

That was when the Monkey King himself, Enma, who hadn't changed at all since the last time Itachi had seen the summon with the exception of Rinnegan eyes. Hiruzen then commanded his long-time comrade, "Enma, I need the staff!"

"On it, Hiruzen!" Enma replied as he transformed into the admanatine staff Hiruzen was famous for wielding. He swung the massive staff and it enlarged into immense size striking Itachi, whose Susanoo rib cage cracked, sending him flying. Landing, Itachi stared down his opponent, "It appears that an incomplete Susanoo is not enough for my full defense against you Hiruzen."

"It's strong but it won't protect you against me," Hiruzen said. "You may be a kage-level shinobi but I wasn't known as the Shinobi no Kami for nothing, you know."

"Indeed, it appears I must go all out. Behold the power of Susanoo."

With that, a large, red, skeletal phantasm surrounded Itachi's body. It brazened a sword and shield and prepared for battle. Hiruzen's eyes narrowed. It appear time for the monkey to fight the giant.

Kaosu vs. Zetsu

"Kage Majutsu: Yami no Bakuha!" Kaosu shouted as the black mass attempted to strike at Zetsu, who flashed through hand signs, "Mokuton: Mokujōheki!"

The wooden wall erupted and shielded Zetsu but the blast had managed to crack the shield. Zetsu thought he was safe from the attack until the blade of the scythe pierced it and torn it open, revealing the harbinger.

"Trying to hide? Not what I expected from an S-ranked nin," Kaosu smirked. He jumped down attempting to slash at Zetsu, who jumped backward.

"Perhaps not but a true nin also doesn't fight fairly nor honorably, harbinger."

Suddenly, roots shot from the ground entangling Kaosu. The Harbinger blinked, "What?"

"Got you. Time to die."

"Not this time," Kaosu grinned. "Kage Majustu: Yami no Shio!"

A black mass spread down from Kaosu and covered the ground. Kaosu melted into the ground. Zetsu's eyes widened as he immediately tried to leave the black-covered ground. However, a wall of blackness blocked his way. The instant he stopped, Kaosu charged out of the wall seeking to take Zetsu's head off. Zetsu, much to Kaosu's surprise, threw of the Akatsuki cloak and split in two. The white half and black half evaded the attack and one attempted to strike at him. Immediately, Kaosu melted back into the ground.

"Come on out, harbinger!"

"Afraid to fight us two on one?!"

Naruto vs. Pein

"Uzumaki Naruto, it is time you fell and I showed you who the true Nidaime Rikudo Sennin is," Pein said.

"Hehe," Naruto chuckled. "Nidaime Rikudo Sennin? I never claimed that. I am the Rikudo Sennin Reborn. Completely different."

Pein glared, "Regardless of what you may or may not claim, I am the Sennin's only true heir. And I shall crush you, pretender."

With that, five more figures appeared. The other five paths of the Six Paths of Pein had arrived.

"Prepare to die, Kyuubi."

"Bring it on, Nagato."

Response to Reviews

{Gold Phantom} - continue to update...i do wonder who comes out on top. *goes all referee* 'In this corner we have NAGATO aka PEIN the idiot who thinks he is the Rikudo reborn. and in the other corner we have the reincarnation NARUTO! BATTLE BEGIN' who will win?...oh well as long as Pein gets his ass handed to him on a silver platter the world will be saved.

Answer: Lol, nice one.

{wacko12} - i forgot i kept asking, srry. hope to see the fight soon. will Nagato learn that he's an Uzumaki and will they find out Obito is still alive

Answer: No worries and. . . I don't know. . . ^^"

{Morbious20} - Great chapter . Can't say I agree with your reasoning for not bringing Aiko mother back to life though.

Answer: Yeah, I've been getting that a lot. I was try to make the point that even humans with great power can only do so much. I will say its going to come back around in a later chapter which I won't spoil and I hope it'll make more sense why I put it in then.

{Dark-Hyuga1239} - While I agree that the bashing in this sometimes gets a little out of hand, I rather enjoy this fanfiction. What I want to know is if you have any. Special plans for the other eight containers.

Answer: Bashing can help relieve the anger of the writer when he's pissed, but other than that in all honesty it's because I really don't care about it either way. And special plans, huh? Can't say. I've already gotten enough complaints about spoilers. Lol
