Heyo again! Well thanks for reviewing and supporting the fic, and just so that everyone knows, just cuz this is the final battle doesn't mean that this fic is over just yet it's still got more than 10 chapters and I haven't even finished writing it. Well please enjoy and forgive any awkwardness in this chapter (Baileigh helped me write it since we both didn't want to do anything in home ec. and decided to write this instead) we used it to kind of lighten the mood a little.

Itachi and Orochimaru stared at eachother, one sizing up the other.

Itachi had a game plan in mind, though it was way out of his character it was so crazy it might just work "You know what I'm going to do to you after I kill you?" Itachi asked.

"What?" Orochimaru answered.

"Steal your wallet."

"NNOOO!! It's designer! Not if I can kill you and steal your purse!"

"You calling me gay?" Itachi asked.

"Yep!" Orochimaru said proud of his comeback.

"Takes one to know one."

"I agree…wait a minute! Hey that's not very nice! You don't call people gay!"

"I just did Voldemort." Itachi knew he was way out of character but if he was going to psych out Orochimaru this was the only way.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!" Orochimaru lunged. Itachi pulled out his katana and parried the blow. Orochimaru tried again but Itachi parried that move too. Orochimaru jumped back and stretched his neck out and his head came for Itachi.

'Shit!' Itachi thought as he dodged his head and tried to get some more space between them 'Does he really think that the curse mark will effect me? Unless…I can't let him bite me!' He continued dodging and the head continued his chase. Suddenly Itachi got an angry slash to the side and as he located where it came from Orochimaru's head closed in, at the last possible moment Itachi ducked and Orochimaru head butted his body and in the confusion Itachi raised his katana and made to slice his head off, but Orochimaru sensed this so when Itachi sliced down he got Orochimaru's side instead.

"No one's ever made me bleed my own blood! NOBODY!" Orochimaru yelled dramatically.

'He's not even taking this seriously.' Itachi thought with a sigh. He made seals.

Itachi blew a massive fireball at Orochimaru who got caught in the blast. Itachi stopped to see ashes fall to the ground.

"Hello Itachi…" Orochimaru said from behind and stabbed Itachi so that his blade came out of Itachi's gut. "One nuisance out of the way." Itachi disappeared in a cloud of ninja smoke then Orochimaru received a roundhouse kick to the head.

"I won't be taken out that easily." Itachi said, his form could be seen through the smoke


"Who's the R-tard screaming?" Tori asked.

"Kisame…" The others deadpanned.

"We better go rescue him…" Naomi sighed. They entered the nearby building to see Kisame sprawled down on the ground and Kari was nowhere in sight.

"Kisame! Yo un!" Deidara called.

'Don't let it be him! Please if there is a god out there don't let it be him…' Kisame thought. He opened his eyes to see Deidara peer into his eyes 'Shit…'

"He's alive un!" Deidara cried.

"I'm so changing my birthday." Kisame muttered. Deidara smirked. "Where's Kari-kun?"

"We didn't see her." Satori added.

'I'm so fucked!' Kisame screamed in his head.

"If she's hurt…" Tori growled. "I'm not mad at you, she doesn't listen worth a damn, that and I heard the news, she's being selfish."

"At least we know where she's going." Naomi informed.


Kari ran up past a couple of buildings. Her target was within sight.

Meanwhile on that building Itachi and Orochimaru were matching move for move in a flurry of swords.

"You're proving to be weaker than Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru taunted.

"Shut up." Itachi forced him back by thrusting his sword. For the last little while Itachi had been trying to use the Mangyekou Sharingan but Orochimaru refused to look into his eyes. Itachi sensed a familiar feeling along with a gentle thud a little bit above them. Orochimaru glanced in that direction and Itachi got him with a nasty right hook that sent him crashing to the ground "That was for my father."

Orochimaru stood up holding his cheek where an angry red welt began to form. "Now it's my turn." He began to swing his sword wild and erratically. Itachi managed to block the first couple of strikes but one caught him unaware and it sliced his shirt open and a great slash was across his chest as blood blossomed around him. Orochimaru stood over him and was about to deal a death blow but with great strain Itachi rolled away as an arrow that shone with purple chakra hit Orochimaru in the shoulder of his sword arm, throwing off his aim so he missed by a metre.

'It's about time.' Itachi thought. He not only knew she wouldn't listen but he counted on it and incorporated it into his battle strategy.

Orochimaru pulled the arrow out of his side "She's here too now?" He chuckled "Now I can kill two birds with one stone." He jumped up on a large piece of debris as Kari hid behind a pillar. He felt her presence and made to grab her with snakes that came out of his sleeves but Itachi hacked their heads off in one fell swoop. Kari jumped a safe distance away and quickly hid her chakra, nimbly putting an arrow in between he fingers.

"Your business is with me." Itachi said. He knew there was a major flaw in his plan but he knew Kari wouldn't have listened anyway, but as long as she stayed hidden. 'A human's power grows exponentially when he has something to protect…stupid Inuyasha…and didn't that kid in the mist say that too?' Itachi's thoughts were cut short as Orochimaru got at him again. Block, parry, dodge, Itachi got a shallow slice along the shoulder.

"AAAAHHHH!" Kari's scream made shivers of fear crawl up Itachi's spine as his blood froze. He looked to try and find her and in his haste Orochimaru grabbed Itachi's shoulder in a death grip. And another Orochimaru came out behind the pillar with Kari in tow and a blade at her throat.

The Orochimaru holding Kari chuckled "Looks like the two of you got busy…" Kari squirmed a little bit and he put the sword closer to her throat. "Itachi, you give me your Sharingan and body and I'll let her and your unborn child go."

Itachi was currently trying to find out which one was the real one. Kari stopped struggling and the only movement was her shaking her head in saying 'No.'

"Better hurry Itachi times ticking." The Orochimaru that had Itachi answered.

'Damn it! What the hell have I gotten myself into?!' Kari began to look around. She noticed Itachi's sharingan rotate slowly and begin to merge. 'Alright!' Kari shut her eyes and began to brace herself. 'Tactic S-I-N-G!' Before the Orochimaru holding her could comprehend it Kari elbowed him in the gut, stepped on his food, head butted him in the nose and with her other arm hit him in the groin. He disappeared in a cloud of ninja smoke. Before the real Orochimaru could do anything Itachi wheeled around in a great burst of speed and grabbed Orochimaru by his neck and began to crush his windpipe. Itachi's Mangyekou Sharingan glared into Orochimaru's cold yellow eyes.

The world was crimson red, the ground and the trees were jet black, Orochimaru was strapped to a cross very much like how Jesus was when he was crucified. "Now I will make you pay for what you did. 72 hours of torture begins now."

Itachi subjected Orochimaru to every creative thought of pain and torture including rape, dismemberment, decapitation, being put in boiling pots of oil, taking out his organs, stuff like that. When orochimaru was released he was in so much mental pain he was unconscious. Itachi blinked, as things got slightly blurry. Kari walked over panting slightly. "Are you okay?" Kari asked worriedly.

"My eyes…" Itachi began. Kari walked over and placed her hands over his eyes and healed them. He grabbed his sword and with a cold glare, lacking pity, guilt and remorse he cut Orochimaru's head off then burned the body. He put an arm around her. "How are you feeling?"

Kari sighed "Tired but happy."

"Oi! Kari-chan!" a happy and familiar voice called.

"Tori-chan?" Kari asked and was soon in a bone breaking hug.

"My god your phat! Pretty Hot And Thick! But I'm just fat!" Tori said "And what the hell were you thinking?! Fighting while pregnant isn't good!"

"My horoscope said I'd win any fight I got into." Kari and Tori began to laugh. Satori just shook his head. Kisame began to scold her half heartedly, Deidara and Naomi just watched and began to walk home. The others soon followed.


Hinata was fighting in the stadium when she was suddenly grabbed from behind and was being carried off. She turned her head to see it was an enemy sound ninja. She began to struggle and while doing that she began to reach for a kunai in her pouch "H-Heellpp!!" Hinata cried she was then slapped in the face.

"Be quiet!" They were already outside of Konoha. In a small glade he set her down then forced her against a tree trunk and wordlessly began to undo her jacket.

"NOOO!!" Hinata cried, and half because she jumped in fear and shock and because she needed to get him off her before he raped her she stabbed her kunai through his stomach. He fell down bleeding to death and Hinata slumped against the tree trunk. Soon the man let out his last breath. "I-I'm sorry…" Hinata stood up and was about to leave when three oto-shinobi cut off her path, and without a word began to fight her. She jumped high in the air and flipped then dashed forward and began to attempt to close tenkitsu, she managed to hit some on the neck, shoulder and chest of one and he fell unconscious. Her open hand hit one and suddenly gasped and let out a cough. She put some distance between them and stood 'I'm going to die aren't I?' she thought gloomily and looked at them come at her. She got into a fighting stance. Before they could touch her though someone wearing dark clothes stood in front of her to protect he from the incoming shinobi, she looked up and recognised the hairstyle 'Sasuke…' she blushed at how close he was to her. Of course she liked Naruto but no one ever willingly protected her from her enemies other than her father. Especially Sasuke, who they didn't know eachother very well, having only talked to eachother a few times, then there was the shower incident.

Sasuke clothes lined the closest one then broke then next one's neck. Hinata began to cough again and fell to her knees. The oto-nin who was clothes lined got up but Sasuke threw a Fuma Shuriken at him that killed him instantly. Sasuke then turned to the young woman behind him. Blood was trickling down Hinata's hands as she continued to cough.

"Did those ninja do that to you?" Sasuke asked 'This won't be good to have a handicap.'

"N-No…" She let out a hacking cough "My…cousin hit me."

"Ah."

Hinata unsteadily stood up and quickly got footing "Yo Sasuke-teme! Wait for us!" Naruto's voice called and immediately Naruto, Sakura and Pakkun entered the clearing. "What're you doing here Hinata-kun?" He asked curiously "What happened to your hands?"

Hinata went scarlet, "I-It's nothing Naruto-kun…" She wiped her hands on a kerchief.

"I'm heading back." Sasuke began to leave.

"Wait up Sasuke-kun!" Sakura called after him. They made it inside Konoha and soon the sand and sound shinobi were driven out.
