Hello, and welcome to the new chapter and sorry for the short one.
Chapter Cover: Sasuke and Jack facing off.
CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX
Mayhem at the Summit
"Sasuke is here?" The Raikage said as he starred at the man.
"C'mon," White Zetsu said, "Let's all search for Sasuke…"
In a flash, the Raikage was holding Zetsu by his throat.
"TELL ME WHERE UCHIHA SASUKE IS?"
"I…I'll gave…you a hint…"
SNAP.
The Raikage snapped the neck of the man and Claire looked toward Payne and Hunter.
"My spy bird saw them," Hunter said, "They're entering the building right now from the east side."
The Raikage heard the information and said, "Good, now I can show that brat what vengeance is. Shi, let's go."
"Yes sir," the Kumo ninja behind him said.
"You didn't have to kill him," the Mizukage said, "We could have gotten intel out of him about Akatsuki."
"No one in Akatsuki will betray it," Gaara stated, "they are all hardcore."
"Oraraku," Mifune said, "Give the order for everyone to search for Sasuke and prepare for battle."
The large man behind him nodded and quickly left the room.
"Raikage where are you…" Claire started but the large man was already smashing a hole into the wall with a punch and he was out.
"Sorry about the table and the wall," A Kumo ninja said, scratching the back of his head, sheepishly.
"Darui, forget about that," the other Kumo ninja said, "Let's go."
They left the room too.
"Good grief," the Tsuchikage said looking at the wall, "He was always a unruly child. Haven't changed since he became Kage…"
"That's the understatement of the century," Claire said, shaking her head, knowing of the Raikage's recklessness.
Naruto and company, consisting of Shikamaru, Kiba, Sai, and Shino were going at full force toward the land of Iron. They left Konoha quickly, knowing of the number of questions that it will raise if they were seen.
"What's the plan Shikamaru?" Kiba asked.
"We track Sasuke's scent," SHikamaru said, "and I'm seventy percent sure that he is going to the Summit, if he really is part of the Akatsuki and the place is a open target for Akatsuki, since the leaders of the Five Nations are all in one place."
"Right,"
Naruto stayed silent as he continued to frown…
Flashback
"Naruto…you're the only one…that can…stop him. Please bring him back,"
"I will Sakura. That is the promise of a lifetime,"
End of Flashback.
He hated himself right now. He was breaking his promise to Sakura…a promise that he will bring Sasuke back to them…
It shouldn't have been like this. Sasuke is his best friend, and he shouldn't be killing his best friend….that wasn't right…
Flashback
"It's not just you and Sasuke anymore Naruto,"
End of Flashback
Naruto gritted his teeth, feeling a surge of anger and hopelessness surge through him. Kumo is going to kill Sasuke and Tsunade had told him to stay in the village in case Akatsuki is still on the lookout for him, but he couldn't just sat there and let people do what he should be doing in his place…
I…need to speak to Sasuke, he though, that's the only way I can be sure of what's going on with him.
Jack was watching the fight between Sasuke and the Raikage and it was an explosive one sure. He had hidden himself well, and the others were not taking part of anything and the fight was getting even more explosive when the Raikage slammed Sasuke down on the ground, creating an even larger crater than before.
Sasuke surely got powerful since the little fight at the Chunin Exams, he though to himself.
Sasuke lay on the ground, seemingly exhausted as the Raikage come down with an ax kick toward his face and the black flames of the Amaterasu and he spiked them toward the man's leg like a porcupine…
Then out of nowhere, sand appeared, separating the Raikage's leg from the black flames.
"Sand," Jack whispered, "but, that technique…that's Gaara's…"
Sure enough, Gaara was standing there, with his arms crossed and he was glaring at the fighters as sand formed tendrils around him.
"Kazekage-sama," a random samurai called.
"Stand back samurais," Gaara said, "this is between ninjas. There is no need to lose your lives over this."
The samurai obeyed him.
Jack didn't stay either as he slipped past Gaara, still dressed as a samurai and walked up the stairs toward where the other Kages where and sure enough he arrived there, seeing the rest of the Kages still seating there with their guards.
The Mizukage noticing him looked up, "Did you come to bring a message?"
"No," Jack said, "I've come for an audience with the Taiyoukage."
Claire's face showed suspicions and shock as she starred at him, not recognizing him under the samurai mask, Hunter and Payne where each at her side, poised to attack.
"Show your face Samurai," Hunter said.
Jack took off the mask, letting his silvery pink hair fall on his shoulder, watching his former friends with mismatched eyes. Gasps of shock echoed through the room, seeing the wanted man in the middle of their groups.
"Jack,"
"I didn't come here to fight," Jack said, looking at the Kage around him, "at least not for now, while Sasuke is giving most of the peoples a work out downstairs."
But Payne didn't listen to him and was in front of him in second, a kunai in hand giving him a slash but Jack blocked it with his hand, the kunai making a hole in it.
"Don't fuck with us," Payne growled, "You are a traitor and the way I deal we ninjas deal with traitors is to kill them."
Jack's eye narrowed and looked behind him to see Hunter already there with a blade, ready to run through him.
"To think of it," Payne said, "Our last battle was interrupted."
Payne's other hand was holding her sword, attacking straight at him and Jack could already see what she was doing as he blocked the other strike with a kunai.
"My shadow sword technique.." Payne started.
"I can see your attacks coming like a bright light in the dark," Jack said, "You are no match for me."
At that a surge of gravity exploded from Jack blasting Payne and Hunter away from him and the other ninjas where already coming at him.
Shit, sounded a lot easier in my head, he thought as he jumped back toward where the large hole was in the Council room. Standing there, he starred at all of the ninjas standing against him and he scowled slightly.
"I said I didn't want to fight, but you guys are attacking me, and I'm very close to blow this entire place into oblivion," Jack said.
"What is it that you have to say?" Tsunade said.
"Claire-sensei, Payne, I've come to apologize," Jack said looking at the Taiyou ninjas, "I knew that it won't mean anything but I'm sorry for everything."
He untied his headband and put it down on the floor in front of them.
"You think apologizing is going to change anything?" Payne snapped at him.
"I don't expect it to change anything Payne," Jack said looking at her, "I'm just tying up some loose ends."
Jack suddenly looked up toward the ceiling and was staring at Sasuke who was standing upside down, blood dripping from one of his eye which was in Sharingan mode.
"Where is Danzo?" Sasuke said, glaring at Tsunade.
In a flash, Mifune was in front of him with a slashing attack but Sasuke blocked it with his sword and he pushed the man back and he landed on the ground a little behind Jack.
"Long time no see Sasuke,"
"Jack Haruno," Sasuke said, "Get out of my way."
Jack turned toward Sasuke, glaring at the boy with his mismatched eyes.
"I can't let you harm anyone here,"
"Then, I'll just cut you," Sasuke said charging in toward him.
Jack suddenly draws the large DRAGON sword from his back and blocked Sasuke's attack and they were locked in a strategy game of swordplay as the clangs and sparks of their attacks collided. Sasuke seemed to grow annoyed with him as his Sharingan transformed into a evolved form.
"Amaterasu,"
Black flames erupted right in Jack's face as he swiftly stepped back, the flames following him like a magnet. He raised his hand toward Sasuke and said, "Shinrai Tensei,"
Sasuke was thrown back by the attack of gravity, slamming against the wall at the end of the room and Jack charged forward swinging the giant blade toward the fallen Uchiha ready to finish the job and a skeletal cocoon took shape around Sasuke's body, blocking the oncoming attack.
What is that?
Sasuke glared up at Jack with his evolved Sharingan and suddenly stepped forward.
Whatever it is, it is no match for me, Jack added in his head as he raised his hand toward the Uchiha boy.
"Shinrai Tensei,"
The blast of gravity send Sasuke through the wall and into the corridor behind it and Jack calmly walked toward him glaring at the young man on the ground.
"I should just kill you right now and save us the trouble," Jack said, "but, Naruto won't ever forgive me if I did so."
"And that's supposed to make me feel better?" Sasuke growled.
"I've broken free from Madara's clutches," Jack said, looking at the ninja, "I used to think you could do the same, but seeing you here today make me think that is impossible. You're too far gone to return."
"Don't you lecture me," Sasuke yelled at him as a large shape appeared around him, taking form of a large figure but skeletal, and it glowed red…
"Ack," Sasuke yelled as he spat blood out, landing on his knees.
"Do you know how alike we are Sasuke," Jack said, "we both grew alone, we both wanted revenge on someone that shared the same name with us and yet, we both stood on the opposite sides of the battlefield. I almost turned into something like you Sasuke, someone who is still blind in darkness."
"Then why aren't you killing me?"
"That is not why I came here," Jack said, turning around walking out of the corridor toward the hole Sasuke had crashed through, "Killing you or sparing you that's Naruto's job."
He left the boy on the ground as he entered the Summit room.
"Whoever want to kill him, be my guest," Jack told the rest of the Kages.
The Tsuchikage took on the offer creating a block of rock in his hand.
"I have nothing against you," the Tsuchikage said, "but the world wants you dead so…"
"Jinton Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu,"
The cube became extremely large and smashed toward where Sasuke was.
"Sasuke," Karin yelled, "No…It can't be…"
"Off course there gone," the old man said looking at the red-haired woman, "His remain are smashed to smithereens and you're next."
At that moment, the Raikage and Gaara with their ninjas arrived into the room taking in the disaster that occurred and he said, "Where is Sasuke?"
"I smashed him to bits," the Tsuchikage answered, quite proudly.
"That was my job," the Raikage said glaring at the shorter man, "How dare you…"
"You still have a chance…so quit your winning Raikage," a voice said.
Everyone's eye turned toward a spiraled masked man who was holding Sasuke's unconscious body on his shoulder, and Jack glared at the man, feeling all his hate pouring through his body.
"Madara," he growled.
"My name is Uchiha Madara," the Madara announced to the entire room, "I'm here to explain something to you…I just wanted to make things clear."
"What?"
"I want you to tell me about my goal, the Moon Eye Plan," Madara announced to the room.
"Hey Ino," Sakura asked, "You've seen Naruto and the guys?"
"They left the village earlier," Ino said.
"What?" Sakura said, her eyes widening.
"Shikamaru and the others went after Sasuke…," Ino suddenly realized who she was talking to and gasped.
Sakura broke into a run, not hearing Ino's yell for her to come back.
A cloaked figure was walking toward where it had sensed the familiar chakra and she knew she was close...
Soya...i'm coming for you.
How was that for a chapter lol. damn i wonder if i made Jack too powerful...but then again, Sasuke needed some sense knocked into that hard-head of his. Anyway, stay tuned for Madara's Moon Eye plan...and a mysterious person came and got it in for Soya.
