Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or One Piece. If I did then Jack's defeat would have been- oh who the hell am I kidding that scene was hilarious!
Wheatley: Are you talking about the scene with the elephant island smashing his face in? And then he probably drowns because of his Devil Fruit powers?
Skillet: Yes Wheatley. I was trying not to bring that up because of spoilers!

Arc 2: Siege of the Akatsuki
Chapter 23: The Demon in the Stone
"You want my sword teme? Well then come and get it!" Naruto screamed at his rival from across the valley, while jabbing Kuruma into the stone head of Hashirama Senju.
When he heard Naruto challenge him in the bold and serious tone Sasuke broke out laughing "You honestly think you can beat me. You're just an orphaned dobe who got a six year lucky streak with a senile old fox. But if you want me to kick your ass, I can show you how superior I am."
"Let's dance teme! And by that I mean let's try to kill each other!" Naruto screamed in rage at his archenemy before charging off the statue and into air, unleashing another flurry of slashes from the two swords he kept armed in his hands.
"Karasuma Gari!"
"Are you even dumber than I thought you were dobe? My Devil Fruit power is a logia! Or did your simple brain just for-" Sasuke was cut off when one of the slashes caused a huge gash in his body, which wasn't just absorbed by his Devil Fruit power, but caused blood to leak from the wound.
Naruto saw the fear and confusion on his opponents face as he landed back down onto the water and smirked "You don't think I spent the last two months picking my ass did you? I learned Busoshoku Haki specifically for this moment!"
Sasuke growled in anger in frustration at the new advantage Naruto had over him before melding his hands into a large golden machine gun, which fired razor sharp coins at a rapid rate, forcing Naruto to deflect at a speed even faster then they were being shot at him.
"Razor Coin Gattling"
"I think that it's time you and Faceless head back to Ame, Angel-sama. A biju has been captured so you have no more reason to be here." Itachi told his superior as he watched the hateful duel unfolding in front of him.
"That is a good point, but why are you staying here then?"
"I have a personal connection to this fight Angel-sama, though I'm not a direct participant as of now. The outcome of this would be in my direct interest." Itachi explained. While Konan tried to argue, she could find no reason and shushined away with Tobi, Kisame, and the Demonic Outer Path statue in tow. Being the only Akatsuki member left on the battlefield, Itachi was left to his own devices while watching Naruto deflect the projectiles being fired on him.
'I would be shocked if this were to be a one sided fight in either direction. Sasuke is an Uchiha prodigy with a lot of potential and strong techniques, though I can't say he's earned a lot of them. But Naruto is a Level 35 swordsman, and if his bounty weren't frozen by his status as a Shichibukai it would be at least 300,000,000 beris right now. Right now this is anyone's guess who'll come out on top.'
Meanwhile Temari and Killer B were standing by and watching the fight as well. Well B was anyway, while Temari was arming her fan up with intent to attack the Uchiha herself while he was preoccupied. Before she could strike though, B stopped her with one of his Gyuki swords.
"Aneki believe me when I say that this is one fight you don't want to get involved in."
"What you think I'm just going to stand here and watch helplessly from the sidelines! I don't think so!" Temari angrily protested to the older man only for him to once again speak. Or rather rap.
Cinderface has already got this taken care of!
Like you, he's chosen the hawk instead of the dove!
But these tensions have been rising for six years straight
And their glorious battle is on this date!
They're going to have their final fight eventually!
No use halting this inevitability!
And besides Gaara's not out of the woods yet!
We have the power to rebuild him and don't you forget!
"Alright, alright I'll stay put if you just stop rapping. But if Naruto loses then I'm taking the Uchiha bastard's head off myself!" Temari informed B who nodded in agreement to this deal.
But Naruto still wasn't even close to losing this fight, still deflecting the golden bullets at a rate faster than Sasuke could come close to firing them, angering the Uchiha even more than before. After this continued for about 25 more seconds, Sasuke had enough and created a golden staff from the machine gun, unleashing another attack in the form of a large tornado.
"Wind Style: Golden Twister"
Unfortunately Naruto was still dealing with the remaining bullets and had no time to move out of the way. He was swept by the tornado and knocked right back into the Shodaime statue.
"Kid what the hell are doing. You could have just absorbed the attack if you had me armed, get me out of this statue and fight for real!"
"No can do Kuruma. That teme thinks the only reason I've gotten so strong over the years is because of my demon weapon. By using my other two swords only it will prove him wrong." Naruto said to his tenant with a grin on his face, watching Sasuke charge up to him with the staff. Naruto then sheathed Yamakawa-o and prepared his next attack.
"God's Staff"
"Ittoryu Iai: Shishi Sonson"
To Sasuke's surprise Naruto had completely cut through his staff no problem, giving him another opening to attack from behind as Naruto fell back into the water.
"Sanjuroku Pound Ho"
The arrogant ninja was barely able to focus chakra back into his feet to stand on the water and stop himself from drowning. He glared at Naruto even more intensely then before when he rose up from the water "How the hell could a dobe like you cut through my weapon like a stick of butter?"
"Maybe it's because you tried to attack me with pure gold, which is one of the softest metals in the world. You know for a so called genius you sure are stupid." Naruto insulted his rival, who was very angry at being humiliated again.
"Water Release: Giant Vortex"
While Naruto was still in the water, Sasuke took the opportunity to trap him inside a whirlpool. But before could kill the swordsman, Naruto negated the waterfall with a trick of his one and escaped into the air.
"Tatsu Maki"
"Word to the wise teme. Never put yourself in a bad position unless you have a quick way out." Naruto yelled down before attacking Sasuke again in midair.
"Karasuma Garai"
When he saw the shower of slashes fly towards him again, Sasuke put multiple layers of of golden domes over him to cushion the blow. While Naruto's attack was strong enough to slice away a majority of the barriers protecting the Uchiha, two or three still remained. Sasuke used this to make a large cannon mouth protruding from the remaining domes, which he thickened immensely.
"Aurum Tank Cannon"
Naruto could tell that it was a large cannon and prepared to slice the large golden ball flying him half. However what he wasn't expecting was for a large wave of molten gold to come spilling out from the ball once it was sliced in half, burning his skin. Once he was finished eating the metal off his flesh, Naruto tried his hardest to ignore his burns.
However with each firing the dangerously hot balls of gold became harder and harder to avoid. The swordsman gave himself enough time look at the tank to see Sasuke's sharingan eyes peeking from two holes in its side before going back to dodging.
"There's no use running from my attacks dobe! My sharingan will just follow your movements and I'll know exactly what you're going to do next!" Sasuke gloated from inside his shield which gave Naruto an idea of how to counterattack.
'That teme is tracking my movements, but he can't tell the intentions I have behind them. And he has to keep firing on me for his attack to work, so even if I stand still he'll still try to kill me. All I have to do then is fire on that thing's weak spot before one of those gold balls can get close to me.'
Once another molten ball splattered against the wall of the valley behind him, Naruto came to a screeching stop and prepared to attack, aiming carefully at the tank's weak spot. Sasuke grinned when he saw his target do this, thinking he could easily win in this position and fired. However Naruto sliced through his golden projectile long before it came close to him.
"Nanajuni Pound Ho"
After easily slicing through the bomb causing its insides to drip rapidly into the lake below, the slash went straight into the mouth of the cannon, causing its shell to start cracking. A few moments later each barrier was blown to bits by the force of the attack leaving a bleeding and pissed off Sasuke in the center, his Curse Mark flaring even brighter than before.
"You really should have made the opening a bit smaller. Even for the mouth of a cannon that was a pretty easy target. As much as you value that Rubbish-Rubbish Fruit power of your's, it's not really doing much against me" Naruto mocked the Uchiha again, who was getting angrier with every passing moment.
"It's the Riches-Riches Fruit you dobe trash!"
"Like I care; still not doing much to stop me now is it? And if I'm such trash than how come you're the one losing to me?" Naruto riled up Sasuke even more.
This finally pushed Sasuke past his limit causing his sanity to wear down even further as he gave out a mad scream which echoed throughout the continental island. As anger and madness slowly over took him the Curse Mark spread across his body, turning his skin a pale purple, with a star like mark stretching out on his nose. The whites of his eyes turned a dark shade of black and his hair grew long and bushy, turning purple as well. He even grew large bat like wings out from his back.
"So you've let the madness resting deep inside you take over otouto. I wonder if that will be enough for your to win this fight." Itachi muttered to himself as he watched his younger brother transform.
Temari watched with equal interest to the transformation in front of her while B loaded the injured from the previous battle into the woods with Gyuki's help "So this is the power of Ochichite chakra. Even so I've never heard of an artificial one being made before."
"That hickey of yours actually has a purpose aside from acting like a Chia pet for your skin? I'm pretty shocked that's the case but at least your actually fighting me seriously now." Naruto said as he armed his swords for any attack Sasuke might make against him.
"Like I'd ever use my full strength against a loser like you Naruto. I'm just trying something a little different is all. But I guess killing you with the power of one of the three sannin is more than a dobe like you deserves." Sasuke said chuckling at his opponent with an evil leer.
"It's a good thing there are this many clouds out otherwise you'd probably be sparkling right now Cullen-teme." Naruto said before Sasuke charged at a surprising speed and punched him across the jaw. Before Naruto could recover from the blow Sasuke flew behind him and kicked him upwards into the air.
When Naruto noticed the artificial Ochichite was still shadowing him from up in the air, he bitterly called him out "I recognize this technique and this speed. I'm guessing you didn't ask Gai-senpai about using this. You've got some serious balls ripping off from a captain."
"Like that spandex wearing freak is really strong enough to have the rank of captain. Judging from his own students his techniques should go to an elite instead of trash like him." Sasuke claimed before kicking Naruto back into the lake below, where he was waiting with another copied move.
"Lion Combo"
"Chidori"
Through the pain of being impaled and shocked at the same time Naruto growled at the Uchiha holding him up "Teme. Zabuza, Gai, and now Kakashi. Is there no one you won't rip off!"
"You honestly think I got this technique from Kakashi. The only thing he deserved to do was rot in hell for not just letting you get yourself killed on the Grand Line. Fū was the one who figured out his secrets and taught me everything about them."
"Oh, then that makes getting out of this a lot easier." Naruto said before unsheathing the Yamakawa-o and stabbing into Sasuke's arm.
The Uchiha pulled his arm back down as he screamed in pain, giving Naruto a chance to free himself and make another attack with both of his swords.
"Sai Kuru"
Naruto smirked as he cut into his opponent and he turned to make another attack on the Uchiha. However he had to dodge again when Sasuke unleashed his own counterattack in the form in the form of thousands of lightning needles flying at him which he was forced to deflect.
"Chidori Senbon"
Because of the strengthened chakra from Sasuke's Curse Mark, the senbon became that much harder to deflect and dodge, even with Busoshoku Haki. Despite the difficulty Naruto managed to blow away all of the needles made by the attack, but had to use his swords to guard against another attack.
"Chidori Sharp Spear"
"I think I preferred your Devil Fruit power more. At least you were slightly more original then." Naruto continued to mocked his rival despite being pushed back by the large pillar of lightning being fired at him "But I think it's time I take back the offensive on the fight!"
"Sorry dobe but I'm not going to give you that chance!" Sasuke yelled as he pointed his finger up, aiming for Naruto's head. This failed when Naruto crouched down before his forehead could pierced and made another attack while Sasuke lowered his own in an attempt to slice the blond swordsman in half vertically.
"Nigiri: Hirameki"
Naruto jumped into the air after firing another slash at Sasuke, cutting into his rival and landing on the wall of the valley. Itachi followed suit onto the other side when he realized what Sasuke was doing. Unfortunately for Sasuke he forgot he was standing on the lake when he pointed down, inadvertently shocking himself in the process.
The swordsman jumped back onto the lake and sheathed the Yamakawa-o again, preparing to continue with some more Ittoryu. But before he could attack, Sasuke pulled out a summoning scroll from his pocket. What came from the scroll both shocked and angered Naruto. A chokutō sword.
"The Sword of Kusangi. It's another version of the sword wielded by Orochimaru but it's lighter and quicker, perfectly suited for a ninja like me. And since I've been watching you this while fight I now know the perfect way to kill you. With the technique of your beloved brother!" Sasuke taunted him before flying towards his opponent with the sword.
"Ittoryu Iai: Shishi Sonson"
To his surprise, despite the velocity of his flight Naruto was easily able to block the attack with the Shodai Kitetsu. Sasuke was about angrily attack again in response to this failure, but Naruto looked up at him to reveal his eyes were now an angry red color. And he now gave absolutely zero shits about being nice
"You think you can just master all Zoro-niisan's attacks in just a matter of minutes. It took me at least a month to master each one of those attacks. And you think you could steal them from him and beat me with them just like that? You're a disgrace!" Naruto screamed in unadulterated fury before unleashing his own storm of alternating attacks on the Uchiha, who struggled to defend.
"Toro"
"Otoro"
"Hirameki"
"Samon"
"Maguma"
"Taka Nami"
"What's the matter with Naruto? All the sudden I'm getting the same feeling from him I got from Gaara back then." Temari wondered allowed as she watched the one sided fight unfold before her.
"It's a Jinchuriki condition called Breaking Blade. If one gets too angry or has enough youkai flowing through their Chakra system, they could dip into a state of madness called Breaking Blade. It's kind of like Orochimaru's curse mark in that while it increases physical ability, it also causes a Jinchuriki to briefly lose their sanity while using it. Last I heard is Shukaku had Gaara in it for 13 years straight." Gyuki said as he continued to revive the corpse lying in front of him.
"Yeah that's right. I just hope Kyuubi's more relaxed than the rumors made him seem otherwise Naruto could be stuck like this forever." Temari shuddered at the thought.
While the bystanders looked on the fight with intrigue Sasuke was forced to continue to defend against Naruto's increasingly heated strikes 'How the hell is this dobe beating my attacks! I'm Uchiha! An elite! Even with years of training my power should dwarf that of something like him!'
"Yakkodori"
Eventually Sasuke couldn't fend off Naruto anymore and his sword was knocked straight from his hands and into the water. This gave Naruto full opportunity to use both of his armed swords to impale him through the chest. With his opponent stuck in this position Naruto calmed down enough for Breaking Blade to fade away. The only thing for Naruto to do now was throw Sasuke straight away into the leg of the Hashirama statue.
"Eat bedrock teme!" Naruto screamed as he tossed his rival away and into the stone leaving a massive imprint from the strength of the throw.
While Sasuke thought about charging at the blonde again, he remembered where he was thrown and used his wings to fly up the statue, fully intending on grabbing Kuruma while Naruto left unattended "Thanks for giving me this fight dobe. With that sword I'll rule this ocean."
"Oh no you don't!" Naruto cried while running up the statue at an equal rate to Sasuke's flight. Thankfully for Kuruma, his jailer made it up before Sasuke and jumped up above the statue's head using the momentum to slice into Sasuke with a literally blazing attack.
"Hiryu: Kaen"
Naruto landed back on the statue, watching as one of Sasuke's many wounds from the fight burst into the hot blue flames as he screamed in agony. While watching the fight from his seal Kuruma chastised his weilder "That was way too damn close. One more move and you would have royally screwed."
"I don't know what you're complaining about. I had the whole situation under control, and beside sides I beat him didn't I?" Naruto said to his tenant while judging the amount of sake he had left.
Unfortunately Naruto was wrong as Sasuke used the fire burning his skin to melt his golden skin, turning him solid aurum from the inside out. While a majority of the changes in his appearance from the Curse Mark still remained, there was still many different traits. His pale skin was now a glistening gold along with his hair, and his bat like wings now had buzzsaws lining them. He also bone like gold growths sticking out from his chest and back, along with large spikes sticking out from the top of his wrist. Sasuke smugly glared at Naruto with pure hatred from above before naming this new form.
"Golden Gargoyle"
After only a few seconds of memorizing the details of Sasuke's latest transformation Naruto had to avoid getting impaled by one of the spikes on Sasuke's wrist, jumping down from the statue and back onto the surface of the lake, only to have dodge again from Sasuke breathing gold flaked fire down to him.
"Fire Release: Golden Fireball Jutsu"
The swordsman leapt into the air to avoid the ball of fire, but Sasuke flew into him with intent of trying to impale him again. Naruto guarded and was pushed into the wall, trying to push Sasuke off and find another opening. However this plan changed when he saw Sasuke develop another attack in his free hand. With his only choices being continuing to guard and getting electrocuted, and letting the attack impale him, Naruto chose the former.
"Chidori Nagashi"
Sasuke smiled sadistically while watching his opponent screaming as he was electrocuted by the attack, before dropping him into the lake below "Do you get the picture now dobe. Only the elite like me will triumph in life, while the weak and pathetic like you will always rot, rotting even more the more they try to resist. From her on in I will get your sword, your women, your dreams, and this sea, and will be know has a great hero who brought a hero to justice, while you will be known as a demon who murdrered an innocent man while his guard was down!"
"Funny, this coming from the person who did that not an hour ago." Naruto's voice came from nowhere causing Sasuke to desperately for his location.
"Show yourself dobe!"
"Sorry teme but if you want to find me you're going to have to work for it. Not like your used to working for things judging by how half the attacks you've used during this fight are stolen from somebody else. Where as almost everybody else has had to work to get where they are now."
"You'll always be nothing compared to me no matter how much work you do! The only reason you're as good as you are is because of that sword. And once you're executed that sword will be mine!"
"So you really think that the only reason I've gotten so strong is because of the power of Kuruma? Well then riddle me this Sasuke-teme. If that's the case then explain why I've been fending you off without using that sword once." Naruto informed Sasuke who was frozen in shock when he remembered that Kuruma had been in the Hashirama statue's head the entire fight.
"Not like it matters all that much though. I still had to work like hell to actually make it a demon weapon, and let me tell you it wasn't a pretty process. Kuruma gave me more burns then than what I have right now. So if you think you can still fight me with this knowledge be my guest!" Naruto said now revealing himself to be on the top of Madara's statue.
With his target now in plain view, Sasuke revved up the buzzsaws on his wings and flew towards the top of the statue at a speed with killing intent practically outlining his body.
"Elite Slicer"
Once contact made Sasuke felt himself slice into something in a timespan of little more than a second, something that he assumed to be Naruto. Sasuke turned around to look upon his rival's decapitated corpse, only to see that he was alive and well, running across the lake. And worse was that what he cut was the head of Madara Uchiha's statue.
"You defiled your own ancestors statue? Man your even worse than I thought, that'd be like me passing on Luffy's wanted poster." Naruto mocked the arrogant ninja over his mistake, which got the predicted response.
"How dare you make me do that dobe. Madara Uchiha was a greater man than you or any Senju will ever be! My clan is the superior bloodline of this weak and feeble world." Sasuke screamed in rage while watching Naruto once again scaled his own ancestors status.
"Oh really teme? Then why don't you prove it! Let's end this right here right now." Naruto said as he armed his swords for the final clash.
"A lose like you couldn't even scratch my headband!" Sasuke followed suit making a large golden arm from his own arm, before repeating the Chidori Nagashi with it. With no other words Naruto and Sasuke jumped or flew from their current position with full intent on ending this heated rivalry once and for all.
"God's Wrathful Hand"
Though Naruto feel immense pain at being shocked by the lightening shooting from every pore of the arm, he cut through with expert finesse before reaching Sasuke himself "This can't be! I can't be defeated by dobe trash like you! I am the elite! I an Uchiha! I am Sasuke!"
"Nitoryu Iai: Rashomon"
Naruto let himself crash into the lake, cooling of the burns he'd received from the fight and allowing him a moments rest in the lakes bounty. Meanwhile Sasuke fell down to earth, slipping into unconsciousness the moment he was cut, as well as turning back from both his Curse Mark and Devil Fruit form. The only thing that saved him was Itachi grabbing him before he could hit the water and sink like a hammer.
"I'm sorry Sasuke, but Naruto is better than you now. Just accept that fact and maybe you'll finally find true happiness. But I suppose it's partially my fault." Itachi said as he set his brother down on the river bank and turned towards Temari, Gyuki, and B "I humbly apologize for all the pain my brother has caused you."
"Hey no worries. I gave him enough of my own youkai to revive him so he should only be in a coma." Gyuki explained to the Akatsuki chairman.
But this apology wasn't nearly enough for Temari who grabbed him by the collar of his cloak "Don't think I'm just going to let you Akatsuki scum get away with what your trying to do. If you ever come near my village or any other village again, I'll cut your heard off and use it as a doorstop!"
"Your angry and commanding nature reminds me of Angel-chan. I can't lie, this is kind of attractive." Itachi said stolidly, but with a faint blush on his face. In response to this perverted remark, Temari tossed his ass into the lake, where Naruto waded as well.
After both men got up and stood on the water, Itachi opened his cloak and pulled a familiar katana from it "I think this is your sword Cinderface-san. You left this on that statue but I thought you might want this back."
"Wait you're just going to give this back to me? You do realize this sword is a demon weapon right? You could've just taken it from me and removed the Kyuubi from me with just that." Naruto asked, confused at his generosity.
"I could do that it wouldn't be a very honorable thing to do."
"This coming from the guy who killed his entire family in one night for literally no reason."
Surprsingly Itachi looked rather saddened by something and looked off to the side "There's actually more to the story than what the history books say. All I can say on the matter is beware of the Santatsu. And I hope you make it through the legal onslaught your about to go through. You may have beaten Sasuke in battle, but his plan of framing you still lies in wait."
The Uchiha turned around as if about to leave only to turn his head and offhandedly mentioning before transporting away "By the way the next time we meet, you'll have to teach me that old Harem Jutsu of your's. It might come in handy for me."
"This guy may act all tough, but he's an even bigger pervert than Ero-Sennin." Naruto grumbled to himself before thinking his situation over. No matter what he did Sasuke would still pin Gaara's assassination attempt on him and he couldn't escape due to his lack of knowledge with the legal system. And who knew what Sasuke would do to his friends while he was locked up "This is true fear right? Good, I've forgotten what it had felt like."
When Naruto heard footsteps from behind he and the others turned to see Danzō and a whole hoard of ROOT ANBU behind him "Roronoa Uzumaki Naruto, you are hereby under arrest for the attempted assassination of the Kazekage, Gaara Sabaku."
(A/N): Great another chapter with an ending that will make people want to kill me. But don't worry Narut will be out of prison by the end of next chapter. Originally I was just going to have it be Sasuke and have the chapter be titled "The Fall of Sasuke Uchiha" but then last summer I played a game I needed to pay tribute to. And of you've looked in my favorites you know exactly what that game that is.
Ace Attorney. Whether it be the main series or Investigations this series kicks ass. So much so that I actually have the next chapter being dedicated to it. I already know who Naruto's defense and prosecution will be but I need to decide the judge. If you have any suggestions leave them in the reviews below.
The only complaints I have with the series are WHY HASN'T DAI GYAKUTEN SAIBAN BEEN LOCALZIED! And WHY ISN'T PHOENIX X MAYA CANON YET!
Wheatley: Go home Skillet your drunk!
I'm 17.
Wheatley: Then I'm drunk!
You're a robot!
Wheately: Then Cedric's drunk.
He's not even in these Author's Notes anymore. I can't take this absurdity. Just end the damn chapter already.
