Chapter 21

Sharingan

Itachi and Gaara stood mere feet away from each other. Itachi just smirked,

"I'd like to see you try."

Naruto stood next to Kakashi whining,

"Man I wanna get some action…"

Kakashi just shook his head while activating his sharingan, he wanted to memorize every movement of Itachi's. All of a sudden Hidan appeared between them,

"ENOUGH!"

He exclaimed forcefully. Itachi opened his mouth to protest which Hidan shut down with a wave of his hand. He looked over at Sakura,

"Do you really want to see everyone here die? This entire thing can come to an end here and now if you come with us."

Sakura looked between Hidan and Gaara. She smiled sweetly at Gaara, stepping forward and standing next to him. She took his hand in hers, he smiled down at her then looked back to Hidan,

"You took her from me once, you will not have another chance."

Hidan shook his head,

"Itachi, do not hurt her, but kill the boy…"

As he disappeared. Itachi smirked as he glared at Gaara. He wiped a few kunai at him. Gaara quickly grabbed Sakura and moved her away. He gently placed her down, he kissed her while adding,

"I'll be right back."

He turned back to Itachi, without missing a beat he whipped his sand at him. Hitting him with blow after blow of sand. No one wanted to sit around and watch, they all wanted a piece of the action. Sasori readied his puppets, which Kankuro was glad to do the same. Suigetsu, Karin, and Sasuke teamed up at take on Kisame, as he seemed like the biggest threat. Kakashi along with Baki ran at Deidara. Temari stood alongside Kankuro. Naruto felt left out. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Kabuto slowly stand up, Juugo was at his side in a flash. Naruto smiled to himself as he ran at them right past Sakura. She looked towards his direction noting where he was going she yelled,

"No Naruto don't!"

Which of course he didn't listen. Juugo heard though and instantly got in a defense stance. Sakura focused her chakra into her feet and ran to them, she appeared in front of them, smashing her chakra infused fist to the ground

"Earth style!"

She yelled as beams of earth grabbed hold of Naruto's feet, stopping him in his tracks. Juugo instantly moved himself between the two. Kabuto stood completely shocked, he was standing behind a crouched down Sakura and a defensive Juugo. Naruto stood stuck in this spot staring at this giant man in front of him,

"What the hell? Get out of my way!"

Naurto yelled, Juugo simply growled down at the boy in front of him only to be stopped by a soft hand to his back,

"It's alright."

Sakura's voice soothed, his eyes still locked on Naruto's he stepped to the side. Sakura stood up fully releasing Naruto's feet causing him to fall to the ground. Sakura knelt in front of him helping him up,

"Leave them Naruto, they got me away from the akatskui."

She nearly whispered, only Naruto heard her, he grumbled and nodded. Just as he did this Temari was sent flying through the air, smashing into a rock. Sakura ran to her aid as Naruto ran to Kankuro. Temari was not badly injured, Sakura quickly healed her. Temari thanked her and rushed back in within seconds. Sakura stood up and turned around to go and heal Kabuto only to see Hidan.

"Sakura my dear this is getting ridiculous…lets go."

Sakura shook her head,

"You took everything from me…my friends…my family…my life….and I never had a say in it what so ever, but that's over now. I am not going to sit here and have you destroy the only life that I have ever known, the only people who are still here for me…it's not gonna happen…"

She got in a battle stance, closing her eyes focusing everything she had into this one man. This one fight would determine her entire future, she was going to have a say in it, she was going to make him and every person in the akastskui suffer for what they did to her. Here and now she was going to kill every single one of them. Starting with Hidan.

Without saying a word she focused her chakra into her fist and brought it to the ground, smashing it to pieces, with Hidan losing balance she focused her chakra into her feet, running as fast as she could to him. Once she was in front of him she brought her foot to his face, sending him flying backwards. Sakura knew that he was still a lot more powerful than she was, but she didn't care, she would kill him or die trying.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, they were completely memorized by Sakura's intent to kill. She saw Hidan rise to his feet, she made hand signs as fast as she could,

"Fire style: fire ball justu!"

She yelled as she blew a giant fire ball at him, watching as it engulfed him. She smirked to herself, that was easy. All of a sudden she felt a chakra presence behind her, she turned only to be met with a hard punch to the face. She fell backwards, dammit how could she have been that stupid this was the akaskui she was dealing with, they killed her entire family, she should have known better than to under estimate them. She caught herself before hitting the ground,

"Sakura you are strong…but I am stronger…I don't want to kill you…"

Sakura wasn't going to listen to him, she smashed her fist into the ground again, instead making beams of earth go in each and every direction, pounding into Hidan. Itachi moved to assist him but Gaara instantly grabbed hold of him,

"Sand prison!"

Sakura wasn't even paying attention, she was purely focused on killing the man in front of her. She had never been so angry in her life, so blood thirsty, she felt herself get more powerful than ever before, her body started to shake, everything was starting to blur, she put her hands to her head, trying to focus but feeling unable. She screamed at the top of her lungs while ripping her hands away from her face and opening her eyes wide to reveal a mixture of red and green. Kabuto stared at her a smile plastered on his face,

'It's happening, she's activated her powers…her mixed sharingan'

Everyone stared on in disbelief,

"This is impossible…"

Kakashi exclaimed. Wind was whipping around Sakura so fast no one could really focus. She ran at Hidan as fast as she could, throwing him across the field smashing into a tree, but she didn't stop there she was at his side in a second. Smashing him in the other direction. This went on for at least 15 minutes. Sakura was starting to get tired, she slowed down a considerable amount, breathing heavy. Kisame ran at her along with Itachi, Kabuto and Juugo ran to her aid. Juugo stood in front of her, knocking Kisame to the ground while Kabuto threw a kunai at Itachi, striking him in the gut. All of a sudden a giant burst of smoke exploded in front of them, clearing to reveal,

"My lord…"

Kabuto exclaimed as he bowed respectfully. Before anyone had time to react Orochimaru threw Itachi and Kisame across the field. Grabbing Sakura in his arms he whisked his team away in a puff of smoke.

Kakashi stared on in shock,

"Not good…"
