Chapter 29 The Finial Showdown
"So let's take this outside." Said Pain as Naruto nodded and the six of them stepped outside.
"Shikamaru, Temari go take care of Hinata we will take these two." said Sakura as Shikamaru and Temari nodded and made a break for the entrees surprisingly neither Pain or Kanon tried to stop them. Suddenly Pain disappeared and reappeared behind Naruto.
"This is for your own good cousin." said Pain as his hand started to come crashing down. However Naruto disappeared in a flash. "Now cousin I do not want to kill you so knocking you and your wife out while I distroy the leaf is the only choose I have."
"You will just have to kill me because I will not let you hurt the village." said Naruto as he looked at his cousin.
"So be it." said Pain "Konan take Sakura I want my cousin."
"Yes, Pain." said Konan as Pain charged forward with a kunai in, Naruto whipped out his sword as he and Pain plunged into the darkness of the base.
Sakura VS Konan
For a minute neither Sakura nor Konan moved then slowly both reached into their packs and pulled out a kunai. They both charged for each other kunias hit each other with a clang. They jumped apart the moment they where airborne Konan through ninja stars at Sakura. She hit all of them down with her kunai.
"Is this all you got?" asked Sakura
"You will see." Said Konan as she raised her hand suddenly her hand turned to paper and shot toward Sakura. Sakura just stood there as the paper wrapped around her. Suddenly Sakura smiled "What?"
"You are a fool." said Sakura as she looked at Konan "You wrapped me up in paper?"
"This paper is stronger then steel." Said Konan
"Still it is paper and paper burns." said Sakura as her eyes turned red and red chakra danced around her. Konan eyes widened as her paper started to burn. In a flash she pulled back her paper and when her hand turned back to normal the tips of her fingers wear burnt. While Konan looked at them she felt Sakura disappeared when she looked back to where Sakura Namikaze used to be she was gone. In a blink of the eye Sakura reappeared front of her a glowing white kunai in hand.
"Time to die." said Sakura as she swiped the kunai to where Konan head was suppose to be. However Konan ducked below the swipe however now Konan had a clear shot at Sakura's belly.
Shikamaru and Temari.
Shikamaru and Temari ran down the dark hallways of the Akatsuki base. "I wonder why they let us pass?" Said Shikamaru
"They don't really care about Hinata that's why. If we kill her we kill her. Besides they will have their hands full with Naruto and Sakura." said Temari as they approached the only chakra presence in the building. Both Naras went to either side of the door. Shikamaru raised his hand and held up three figures. Temari nodded her head as she pulled out a kunai. When Shikamaru's figures hit zero he jumped out to face the door and with one kick knocked it down. When the door came crashing down Temari stormed through kunai in hand. When they looked around the darkened room only to see rows of beds and medical supplies. On one of those beds was Hinata Uchiha.
"Well looks like you have come for me." said Hinata as she slowly got out of the bed to face the Naras. However she could only stand for a few seconds before she fell to one knee.
"Look Shikamaru the great and power Hinata Uchiha is now defenses." said Temari with a smile. As Shikamaru trapped Hinata in a shadow position jutsu.
"If I was at full strength." said Hinata as she glared at the Naras. Temari walked up to Hinata and placed her kunai on Hinata's throat.
"Give me a reason to kill you for what you did to the Sand and Leaf villages. For killing both my brothers and their wifes. For killing my first niece before she was born." Said Temari as she pressed the kunai against Hinata's throat so hard that blood poured down Hinata's neck.
"I would do it all over a again, you sand scum." said Hinata "You should of seen Gaara's face as he saw his wife and unborn child die right in front of him."
Temari's kunai was now covered in Hinata's blood. However suddenly a dark shadow covered Hinata's throat. Temari looked down to see that Shikamaru's shadow was now strangling Hinata. "Shikamaru what are you doing?"
"I am killing a monster." Said Shikamaru as he tightened his grip around Hinata's throat
"You know our orders." Said Temari
"Orders be damned, she has hurt too many people. Too many people have died at her hands. I will not let her live." Said Shikamaru
"God knows I agree with you little boy but we are ninjas you know we must follow our orders now matter how much we don't want to. Besides the babies she is caring are innocent in all this. Once they are born we can take her out of the picture." Said Temari as Shikamaru nodded as his shadow went back down from Hinata's throat.
"Temari what would I do without you?" asked Shikamaru "However if she tries anything she is dead."
"Agreed." said Temari as she pulled out some chakra ropes and tied Hinata up. "Come on you. I hope you have a great time in your cell."
Naruto Vs Pain
Naruto and Pain crash through the compound, Naruto's sword and Pain's kunai shock each other.
"Air bullet!" yelled Naruto as Pain formed some hand signs and a giant wall of rock shot up taking Naruto's attack.
"I thought that the son of the 4th Hokage would have a better move then that?" said Pain as he looked at his cousin.
"I have only began." said Naruto
"So have I." said Pain as he placed both his hands together. Then red lightening formed around his hands. "This is one of my most power moves. It should seam filmier to you?"
"Kakashi's lightening blade." said Naruto
"Yes, but mine is called blood lightening." Said Pain as he pulled his hands apart and in each and he held a red version of the Chordi.
"Well I have moves a lot better then a simple air bullet jutsu." Said Naruto as Red chakra danced around him before forming the three chakra tails. Suddenly one of the tails disappeared and the other two moved to Naruto's hands. The tails started to whip around his hands until two balls of red chakra formed. One in each hand. The two of them looked at each other for a second before charging at each other. When they hit each other the entire base started to shake.
Back in the Leaf Village
"What is going on?" asked Kakashi as he stood guarding the western gate as the ground started to shake as a giant plum of smoke rose from the sky.
"I have no idea." said Tsunade as she appeared next to him.
"I do." Said Rin as she and Minao ran up to the gate.
"What is it?" asked Tsunade
"We captured an Akatsuki member and he gave up the location of their base." said Minao "They where hiding in our own backyard. Naruto and his team started their attack."
Back with Naruto and Pain
The force of the blast sent both Naruto and Pain out the now open top of the base. Slowly each of them stood back up. Blood ran down Naruto's right hand as he pulled his sword back out. Pain didn't escape the blast un hurt a thin line of blood ran from his forehead down his face before dipping off his chin. Naruto's demon chakra now covered his blade.
Pain ran through some hand signs when he finished a five clones of Pain appeared each one with different weapon.
"Give up cousin, we want the same thing. Peace." said the Pain with a sword in his hand.
"We are willing to give you and your wife a spot in our origination." said the Pain with two kunais in each hand.
"The same group that you let Hinata Uchiha, the mass murder who killed thousand, join. No thanks." said Naruto
"Your village is doomed either way. Either I distroy it as an example to end all wars or when some war hawk destroys your village." said the Pain a sharingan in his hand.
"That may be true but I have seen it before but I will not yet you or anyone else do that as long as I live." said Naruto as he swiped this sword across the air sending some of the demon chakra across the battle field. The Pains smirked as the jumped over the chakra however when they where in the air Naruto clones appeared. One in front of each of the clones. However the Pain's clones where faster with their weapons causing all of them to disappear in puffs of smoke. All the while Naruto stood back with a clone forming a huge rasengan.
"Foolish cousin." said one of the Pains as they landed. Just then another wave of clones shot out of the ground, their swords tips aiming for Pain's head. Pain leaned back so that the swords missed all the clones however suddenly all the Pain's eyes widened as they saw the true threat. Behind each of them was yet another set of Naruto's. There was no time to stop the attack. The second wave found their targets, all of Pains clones disappeared as their legs where cut off. The real Pain fell to the ground without a leg to stand on. Pain looked up to see the real Naruto standing in front of him. "Well done cousin."
"Well everyone looks for the huge jutsu to end a fight I like the simple moves." Said Naruto
"I like Justus." Said Pain as Naruto looked to see a glowing ball of chakra in his hand. "This is a jutsu I created it is similar to your rasengan only when it goes up it goes out in every direction."
"What are you going to do." said Naruto
"I am not going to lose." Said Pain as he let the ball of chakra go off.
Sakura Vs Konan
"NO!" screamed Sakura as she looked at Konan who now had a clear shot at her gut. Her mind filled with images of her life with Naruto and what could have been. Konan's kunai came flying forward however inches from Sakura's gut she stopped.
"Now kill her now, before she can hurt you." yelled Inner Sakura as Sakura's heated Kunai came down on Konan's shoulder. The force of the kunai cut through skin and bone like butter as Konan entire arm came flying off. Konan let out a loud scream as her arm went one way and she fell to the ground in a pool of her own blood. Konan looked up at Sakura and smiled.
"What, why are you smiling? Why didn't you kill me you had the chance?" yelled Sakura as she started at the dieing woman.
"Well truth be told Sakura Namikaze is that for the second time in the just a few days I couldn't kill someone?"
"Why?"
"See Sakura I can sense life in all its forms." Said Konan
"What does that have to do with killing someone?" asked Sakura as more blood poured out onto the grass.
"It helps me make sure I don't break my one rule."
"You guys are murders and kills you have no rules."
"I have one I do not kill a babies, because its life is pure and innocent." Said Konan
"So why couldn't you kill…" said Sakura before her eyes widened as she understood what Konan was getting at.
"Congratulation, Sakura Namikaze you are pregnant." said Konan as her eyes started to glaze over. Sakura just stood there for a moment looking at the dead woman who had just told her she was pregnant. Then she looked down at her stomach
"Naruto-kun and I are going to have a baby." Thought Sakura before her eyes widened "Naruto-kun!" with that she disappeared into the Akatsuki base.
Naruto VS Pain
Naruto flew back through the air until he crashed into one of the walls that used to be part of the base. He felt his right arm bone break as he hit the wall. It took a while for him to stand back up. Slowly he made his way through the blast field.
"Well, looks like I lose this fight." Said Pain as he braced himself against the wall, blood now ran out of corners of his mouth as well as his legs.
"You can't win them all." said Naruto as he gasped for air.
"But you can sure try." Said Pain as a small smile formed on his face. "You know it is strange I am kind off glad that I lost to you."
"Why are you happy?" said Naruto as he looked at his last family member sitting there dieing before his eyes.
"Because in the end I wasn't beaten by some stranger, I was beaten by my own family member and that is why I am happy. I die knowing that you and the Namikaze name will live on." said Pain. "But most of all I am happy that there will be peace."
"As much as I hate it, there will always be wars." said Naruto
"Yes, there will be wars but I would bet what is left of my life that your Hokage will choose you to be the next. And with the Sound and us gone, who ever sits in the Hokage's office will be the most powerful person on this planet and you like me have seen what war can do to people. You have seen the horrors of war and how it affects people. Also I know that you will do anything to avoid those wars." Said Pain as he looked into Naruto's blue eyes "and that was the goal of the Akatsuki to stop wars by bring peace. While I may not do that, you will. That is why I am glad my dream of peace is going to come true."
"Well I guess that is one way of looking at things." said Naruto as he felt the healing properties of the demon chakra start to kick in healing his injuries.
"Yes, it is. Also I ask one thing family member to family member." Said Pain
"What?"
"Grant me a true ninja death; don't let me bleed out on the floor. Take up your sword and one more time this day, take a life in hopes that it will be your last ever." said Pain as he looked at the sword. Slowly Naruto dragged himself to his father's sword and picked it up before going over to his cousin and lifting it over his head. "This is the only time I have ever said this but thank you." With that Naruto brought his sword crashing down on the back of Pains neck removing it from its shoulders. As soon as the head of the former leader of the Akatsuki hit the floor Naruto returned to his knees.
"Rest in peace cousin." said Naruto as he reached out with his hands and closed the eyes of his cousin. He didn't know how long he just stayed there thinking. Soon he felt a warm hand on his shoulder.
"Naruto-kun are you aright?" asked Sakura
"I am fine Sakura-chan" said Naruto "but you know what, I am actual sorry that Pain is gone."
"He may have been evil but he was family." Said Sakura as she hugged Naruto
"No Sakura-chan he wasn't evil, he was good." Said Naruto as Sakura looked at him. "He wanted good things but he went through evil ways to carry out those goals."
"I think I understand but at least it is finished." said Sakura
"It's finished." said Naruto
