Meteorite: Over?
AN: I have come to realize I do this for my enjoyment as well as the readers and as long as at least one person continues to read, I will keep posting chapters.
Naruto ducked against the oncoming punch from Katsu, headbutting him in the stomach with the chance given. A clone appeared from nowhere, body slamming and pinning him to the ground. The original Naruto thrusted a Rasengan through his clone, piercing directly into Katsu's gut.
"What the hell is this?" Upon closer examination, the body was only a dummy made of some sort of white-gray clay. "I..." Naruto pulled onto his arm with a large amount of strength, getting no result of freeing it. "I can't get loose!"
"Of course not. That is the most powerful form of Deidara's clay, thick and rather adhesive. Escaping will be quite..." Katsu slowly reappeared near Naruto. "Impossible."
Almost on cue with his words, Naruto yanked his arm from the doll with a loud grunt. "Burn. Fire!" The ground heated up, flames shot up from the ground in an enormous radius circling the tree, as well as Katsu and Rasui, who awaited his turn patiently. "Earth. QUAKE!" The earth ripped apart under the fire in a quick instant, most of the ground falling into the sliced crater.
Sasuke tripped, falling from a branch onto the ground. He peeked back at the direction from whence he came, chuckling. "Impressive. You're gonna be hell to kill." The branch shook as he jumped back onto it. His eyes skimmed along the destruction, before something else caught them, an enormous rock hurdling toward the Earth. "What in the hell? What..."
Naruto stared at the meteor, many miles away from it yet seemingly right next to it. "That's...Konoha. That's going toward..." He hesitantly took in a breath, disappearing into a cloud of smoke.
Katsu stood on the outskirts of the large crack upon the earth. "So...the one we fought; it was a clone. Then the real one must either be with Sasuke or running toward the village."
"Obviously." Rasui sat on the ground in "criss-cross" position near Katsu. "I will follow Uchiha."
"No. I will regroup with our other members, you can easily catch up to Naruto and kill him." Katsu vanished into the fires still remnent around the earthen cut. Rasui sighed and got onto his feet, thrusting forward to the distance.
"The Raikage should be here in ten minutes, if our spy informed him of the attack. If so, we will ambush him, kill any living creature within radius, and extract the Eight-Tailed beast at our 'base'." Monogatari summarized the plan to attain the last remaining beast.
"As long as I get most of them kills." Sōsa snickered, licking his lips in anticipation.
"You are far too cruel..." Eisei-hei stared at the grass under her, contemplating a multitude of different things. "Why are we doing this? It's horrible!"
Monogatari looked around at the trees and brush, then directly into her eyes. "For power."
"That's sick!" She turned to run, only to find Sōsa right in her path. "I refuse to do this anymore. You can kill me... But I can't pretend to be like you freaks!"
"Pretend?" Sōsa uttered, smiling crookedly. "You are #5... Two numbers higher than me. That means you have killed more people...than even me, who loves to take a few lives."
Eisei-hei gripped her head, closed both eyes, and screamed. "I will NEVER be like you!"
Lightning dropped from the sky, instantly ripping off Sōsa's left arm as he attempted to dodge, his scream in pain filled the air. A blade dug into his chest from behind, silencing the loud noise protruding from his mouth.
Eisei-hei fell to her knees, balling her eyes out, as Sasuke threw Sōsa into some brush by swinging his katana. "Two more left. Which one is first?"
"Uchiha? Where is Katsu-sama?" Monogatari growled in anger, quickly becoming calm once again. "I can feel his chakra...so very close. For now I will occupy you, my other companion is having a mental breakdown and will be unable to appease your thirst."
"Good. I wanted to kill you ever since I laid eyes on your disgusting bearded face. Unfortunetly, I am a lot stronger than I was back at Aldmeri... Because I saw my purpose once again. I will put an end to this mess and...and KILL NARUTO UZUMAKI!" Sasuke screamed, vanishing in a whirl of leaves.
The real living embodiment of Naruto stood at the gate. Awe saw to it that his mouth stayed open, that giant rock would scare even the strongest man to have such fear, suicide would seem like a well thought out idea. "How will I stop it... HOW!?" He lost his cool, swifty regaining it. "Orochimaru. I know that this all your fault. You did this. I will destroy you..."
He turned back toward the direction were Akatsuki's base was and closed his eyes. "I will get Kurama back...my friend." Naruto's cheeks no longer were marred with the small whisker outlines since he awoke from the extraction, him even surviving was all because of the Nine-Tails.
"You see what my creation is capable of? Tsunade... Your world is done. Konohagakure is finished, even without the big finale, look at this place. It is far worse off than even when Jastin attacked." Orochimaru teetered side-to-side in place, engorged with such an incredible happiness.
Tsunade held herself up on both knees, arms hanging down beside either sides of her thighs, staring up at the meteor, filled with terror. This terror prevented her from looking away or even speaking, all she could do was watch. "... ..." An attempt to speak failed before it even began.
"Warusuke is far stronger than you could imagine... A perfect being." He laughed, as he did with every sentence that left his mouth. "And now."
An intense heat overcome Tsunade, snapping her from her trance. "No... NO!" She rammed her fist into his stomach in an instant, following up with a heel kick to the face, and ending by dropping him to the ground with her foot.
The heat grew hotter by the second, drawing sweat from Tsunade's pores, the lines marking her body withdrew back into the small purple diamond on her forehead. The meteor closed in on the gigantic village, barely half a mile from it. "It's over..."
The large rock began to shake uncontrollaby, small interruptions in the space of the sky surrounding the meteor swirled in circles and it vanished. The sweltering heat disappeared along with it, the feeling of impending doom was gone.
Tsunade didn't bother caring where it went, all that overcame her was a feeling of relief. Orochimaru's face went blank; Warusuke continued to levitate in the air, meters from where the burning stone once was. Orochimaru snorted, then began to laugh, maniacally. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! You think it's done!? IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK!?" One of the rare moments occured, where he lost all composure.
Tsunade kicked his body away, it flipped and flopped back; and smiled, her body quickly giving out. "That's...exactly...what I think. Now that...he is here."
A happy butterfly tickled Naruto's insides as she said that; he was standing directly behind her. "Orochimaru!" The butterfly vanished and fire took it's place. "OROCHIMARU! WHAT DID YOU DO?"
