Chapter 19: The Fall of the Akatsuki

Hokage's Office

Naruto was sitting in the Hokage's office, looking at the group in front of him, a cigar in his mouth. All the Kage's and the Daimyo's were in the room, having arrived after the incident with the Stone Army. After waking up, he had taken a bath with Shion, that led to some hot moments, thus another bath afterwards, with Naruto soon leaving. It wasn't that Shion's prediction worried him, on the contrary, it excited him. He found it amusing for the Akatsuki to fight him. Though he wondered what she meant by the Elements. He shrugged thinking it was Kakuzu.

He was taken from his thoughts as each person finished their report. He nodded "Alright. Now-" he was suddenly interrupted as a Jounin rushed inside "Naruto-dono! Sensors picked up 10 Kage- Level Chakra signatures, north of the village, near the Valley of the End!" he said, as Naruto smirked "Perfect.". He rose, taking out the cigar and throwing it outside the window. He started to leave "This will be fun." he said, as the former Jinchuriki followed him, along with the Kage, wanting to see what would be one hell of a fight.

Valley of the End

The Valley of the End. The legendary spot where Hashirama Senju, the Shodaime Hokage, defeated Madara Uchiha, head of the Uchiha Clan. It was a scar on the earth, the result of their battle, with a Waterfall. This Waterfall served as the border between the Fire Country and Sound Country. On each side, a huge statue was erected. On the side of the Fire Country, was the statue of Hashirama and on the other side, the statue of Madara. Both were doing the confrontation hand seal. All in all, it was a beautiful place, whose history could be felt in the air.

Sitting on top of Hashirama's head, were 14 people wearing long, black cloaks with red clouds decorating them and having a slash running through their Hitai-ate. They were the Akatsuki, the famous mercenary group composed of S-Rank Ninja. Their purpose, capture all the Bijuu and conquer the world. However, their plans were foiled, thanks to one man. Uzumaki Naruto. He had captured all the Bijuu, gained incredible power and begun to play God. Pein, the leader of Akatsuki, would have none of that. So he commanded all members to come for the first time in one spot outside their hideouts, for the purpose of defeating Naruto and gathering the Bijuu.

They didn't wait long, as Naruto with the Jinchuuriki and the Kage behind him appeared on top of Hashirama's statue. He had his arms crossed, a smirk on his face, as he analyzed every member of the Akatsuki. He grinned slightly upon noticing Pain's Rinnegan, thinking this might be even more amusing than he thought. He looked to the group behind him "Don't interfere." he said, getting nods. Naruto turned back to the Akatsuki. He yelled "So, who is going first in this little event we have created? Unless, you want to come to me combined." he taunted jumping down on the water. Pein turned to Sasori and Deidara and nodded. The two jumped down. Sasori, from what Naruto saw was actually a puppet. He sensed that the real Sasori was inside the puppet, feeling the life force from inside. He turned to Deidara. Deidara was a man with slanted blue eyes and long blond hair, held in a half ponytail, with one bang hiding his left eye. He raised his arms at them "Who wishes to die first?"

His response was for Deidara to send clay bats his way, with him doing a hand seal saying "Katsu!" An explosion occurred, with Deidara laughing "Hahaha. Looks like he wasn't so tough after all!" His response came in the form of a scream, as Naruto reappeared, jump kicking him in the left eye, breaking his scope and sending him crashing to a wall. He ducked under Sasori's scorpion- like tail, then grabbed it. He tilted his head, dodging poisoned Senbon, then with a simple tag, ripped the tail of Sasori's mechanical body. He looked at the tail, before squishing it, destroying its effectiveness. He was about to attack him, until his back exploded. He turned as Deidara's palm mouths were moulding clay. He rushed just as Deidara formed a large Clay Dragon. The Clay dragon spat out some clay orbs. Naruto ignored the explosions, as his clothes were getting singed. He jumped above the Dragon, then pointed his index and middle finger at him, as a panther made of Black Lightning destroyed it. Deidara cursed "He can use Black Lightning!" he yelled, Sasori taking this moment to fire poisoned Senbon from his Gauntlet. They bounced off Naruto, as he appeared in front of Sasori and sent an Axe Kick. The kick instantly destroyed the puppet, as Naruto felt two arms wrap behind him. He turned, only to feel the burn of a large explosion. Deidara smirked, as his Clone exploded, only to gasp as he felt his arm cut off. He turned at Naruto, whose cloak was burning and tearing, cursing him. Naruto smirked, as Deidara now had one arm. He saw Deidara feeding clay to his own mouth, forming a Doll of himself. The doll exploded, releasing a cloud. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the Cloud. He outstretched his palm "Energy beam." he said, as a large black beam flew out of his palm, striking the smoke, forming an enormous explosion. Deidara looked shocked "How?" only to yell angrily as he felt his other arm cut off, along with getting a kick that sent him crashing into a tree. Naruto smirked, then turned to Hiruko's body, who had now revealed a man. The person had mousy red hair and greyish brown eyes. His eyes were half-lidded and his face held an aloof expression. He tore off his cloak, revealing his mechanical body, as his eyes now were fully open.

"I must thank you. It's been a long time since I used myself." he said, as Deidara cursed "You fool! You became a puppet!" he said, as Sasori nodded "Of course. I am now art, for I am eternal." he said, as Deidara growled. "Art isn't eternal. It is something instantaneous, like an explosion. Art is a blast!" he said, as they argued under Naruto's amused eyes. Suddenly, Deidara turned to him "You! You seem to know about art! What do you think art is?" he asked as Naruto smirked. He raised his hand, as small black jolts of electricity appeared "In my opinion, art should be a blast, that will be remembered for all eternity!" he said, as he released two spear tips from his hand "Energy spear!" he said.

One speartip struck Deidara in the stomach, sending him flying. The other struck Sasori, only darkening his body from the blast. Sasori raised his arms, sending streams of flames at him. Naruto jumped over them, axe kicking one of Sasori's legs, breaking it in half, the part below the knee being cut off. Sasori's stomach opened, as a metal cord attacked Naruto like a stinger. He caught it, tearing it off Sasori's body, then attacked him with it. Two pipes came from Sasori's hips, revealing 5 blades each that spinned like a buzz-saw. The spinning blades cut the cord, as Naruto threw the remains. Sasori charged at him, trying to cut him in pieces, only for the blades to break in contact with Naruto. Naruto kicked Sasori away, as Sasori suddenly unsealed 100 puppets from a summoning scroll, each puppet connected by a Chakra thread from his chest. All puppets wore red cloaks, as Sasori said "Give up. You can't defeat my hundred puppets." only for Naruto to smirk. He charged the puppets, as they each took out weapons. What followed was a puppet massacre. Naruto only needed to use his deadly 'Assassin's Fist' style, which combined with his unbelievable strength and speed, sent the puppets into oblivion. He punched a puppet, his fist tearing through it, then spin kicked 5 puppets at once, breaking them in half. All weapons bounced or snapped off of him, as he continued his upcoming barrage. Suddenly, when he appeared in the middle of the group, he released an instantaneous blast of black Chakra from his body, destroying all the puppets. Sasori said "Imposs-" only to be unable to talk as with two quick high kicks, Naruto destroyed his living core, then sent his head flying. He raised a palm, as he fired a compressed fireball that incinerated Sasori's remains. He turned, as he felt a massive amount of Chakra building up. He saw Deidara's skin slowly vanishing, as his Explosive Chakra cursed through his entire Chakra network. Knowing what he was about to do, he cut off both of his legs, grabbed him from the throat, then actually threw him into orbit. Deidara's last words were "Art is a blast!" before an enormous explosion lit up the sky. He sighed, then formed a barrier, because he knew more techniques like these would show up. He turned to the other Akatsuki "Who's next?"

Hashirama Statue

The Kage's were standing, looking at the fight in awe, as the Jinchuuriki were sitting cross-legged, watching the fight intently. They were happy, as the ones who were meant to kill them, were being killed easily by their God. Onoki was sad about Deidara's death, but he thought little of it, as the boy paid the price for being an S-Rank criminal. Hiruzen looked at Akatsuki 'Who will be next?' he thought.

Madara Statue

Pain narrowed his eyes, as the boy destroyed Sasori and Deidara without breaking a sweat. He turned to Itachi "Give your report." he said as Itachi's Sharingan was spinning "His body is invulnerable to all weapon attacks, even explosion's of Deidara's power. He uses a form of Energy that is, yet at the same time isn't Chakra. He wastes no opportunity, even when toying with his opponents. I also can't find flaws in his Taijutsu style, nor I can copy it, or any of his moves. His eyes also worry me, Pain." he said as Pain nodded. He turned to Kakuzu and Hidan "You're up." he said, as they fell down

Valley

Naruto looked at the new enemies. Kakuzu was tall, with a white hood covering his hair and green eyes with red sclera. Hidan was a man with slicked back grey hair and purple eyes. He was holding a large Triple-Bladed Red Scythe. Hidan smirked "Time to be sacrificed for Jashin-sama!" he said, as Naruto narrowed his eyes 'Jashin is a Demon Lord under Mephisto. If he is a follower of Jashin, he must be immortal, unable to die by physical attacks. Well, most physical attacks.' he thought, as Hidan rushed at him with his scythe. He swinged it at him, only for him to dodge. Hidan changed the course, even releasing the scythe holding it from a thick metal rope, trying viciously to hit Naruto, even though Itachi said only a minute ago he couldn't be damaged. Naruto knew Hidan wasn't worth fighting, so he finished him quickly. He grabbed his scythe, snapped it in half, then pierced his body and kicked him to the air. He raised his palm, as a cone of white Energy appeared. A conical beam sped towards Hidan, as Hidan screamed "FUUUUCK YOOU!" before an explosion happened. When it was gone, nothing was there.

Kakuzu raised an eyebrow "I am impressed. If I knew Dust Release could kill him, I would have killed the Third Tsuchikage just to get rid of him." he said, as Naruto smirked "You have my condolences for being his teammate. Now, shall we continue?" he asked, as Kakuzu nodded.

Kakuzu appeared in front of Naruto, sending a fist his way. Naruto caught it and tried to kick his head, only for Kakuzu to duck and attempting to knee his gut. He didn't even feel it, as he headbutted Kakuzu with enough force to send him skidding away. Kakuzu said "Earth Release: Earth Spear." as his skin gained a darker hue. He charged Naruto again, punching his face, only to widen his eyes slightly, as Naruto didn't feel a thing, while his hand cracked. Naruto kicked him away, the Earth skin shattering "Your arm didn't break because of the stone protecting it." he said, as Kakuzu growled. To Naruto's interest, Kakuzu tore off his cloak, revealing his stitched body. Then, black threads surrounded him, appearing similar to an Octopus. Four masks came off from behind his back, as they mixed with the threads, forming four beasts. From the colours, Naruto presumed one could use Fire, Lightning, Water and Wind. Naruto charged, appearing above the water mask and breaking it in half, getting a scream of pain out of Kakuzu. The lightning mask sent a beam of lightning out of it's mouth, only for Naruto to absorb it from his index and middle finger, then sent it back the same way, as it pierced the mask and killed the beast, as Kakuzu lost another heart. He charged Naruto, the threads released from his body, intercepting Naruto. Naruto fought him in hand to hand combat, the threads posing no threat to him, as when they grabbed him, all he did was turn his body and they snapped in half. Suddenly, Kakuzu jumped back, as the Wind And Fire mask combined attacks, forming a massive firestorm, with Naruto inside it. However, Water Rose from the River, putting it out. Naruto came out, as he took off the remains of his cloak, with his white shirt now sporting burns. He opened both palms forward, as Thousands of Blue Triangular orbs fired off, piercing the masks and Kakuzu. After it was over, Kakuzu fell to the ground, though still breathing. Naruto appeared above him, his palm outstretched "Good fight. Energy Flare." he said, as beam of Black Light surrounded Kakuzu, finishing him off. He looked up "4 down. 10 to go." he said.

Madara Statue

Pain growled, thinking Kakuzu and Hidan could discover a Weakness. Itachi turned to Kisame "We shall fight him now." causing Kisame to smirk "Finally. I can't wait to hit him with my sword." he said, as they jumped down. Konan looked at Pain's eyes, seeing the growing rage, but paid it no mind, as she knew he would win.

Hashirama Statue

Mei whistled "He is in a roll." she said, as Gaara nodded "He could defeat S-Rank ninjas when he was a 10 year old mortal. Now, they pose no threat to him." he said, as the rest nodded. Hiruzen thought 'Let's see if Itachi forces you to reveal higher- ranked techniques, Naruto.'

Valley

Naruto looked at his new opponents. He smirked "Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha. You will prove entertaining." he said. Itachi was a man with jet black hair. His eyes had the Sharingan on them, fully matured. Kisame was more of a shark than a man, with blue-grey skin, white iris with small black pupils, gill like markings below his eyes and blue hair resembling a shark fin. He was the tallest member of the Akatsuki and on his hand was Samehada, the most terrifying of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's blades. Kisame rushed at him "I have to warn Samehada doesn't slice." as sharp scales appeared from the bandages "It shaves!" he said, as he brought it down. However, he was shocked when Naruto caught it bare handed, even more when Samehada tasted it's Chakra and started crying as it hurt it. Kisame growled "You hurt my sword!" he yelled as Naruto shook his head "No." then with a chop of his hand, his broke Kisame's arm, forcing him to let go of the blade, then Naruto grabbed it and sealed it away "I stole it.". He looked at Kisame "I am impressed. I wanted to cut your arm in half, not break it. Perhaps more strength is in order here." he said, as Kisame growled, throwing his fist at him. He caught it, kicking Kisame's gut, as he gasped in pain, then punched him right in the face, breaking a few of his sharp teeth. Kisame flew back. Naruto went to rush after him, only to be forced to dodged Fire consumed Shuriken, courtesy of Itachi. He looked Itachi right in the eyes, as he shrugged off the Genjutsu he attempted to use on him. Itachi narrowed his eyes, then with a few quick hand seals, he spat out a large fireball, which Naruto simply slapped away, throwing it to the Waterfall and putting it off. He saw Kisame rising, his eyes full of rage, as an enormous amount of Chakra rose off him "Interesting. Your Chakra reserves could match mine when I was 10. Most impressive." he said, as Kisame sent 5 water sharks at him, Naruto simply punching them to death. Kisame growled more, as he went through hand seals "I will kill you, with one attack!" he roared as Itachi told him to calm down. However, Kisame didn't listen, as the pain of his strikes and of taking Samehada from him blinded him. He went through hand seals as an enormous Water Shark was formed. Kisame smirked "Throw your best attack at it. I can assure you it will defeat it." he said, as Naruto smirked. He fell into the horse stance, placing his arms next to his right hip, like cupping a ball. A black fire-like aura surrounded a black orb that formed in his hands. Kisame smirked, sending his arms forward as the Shark rushed at Naruto. Naruto grinned "Shinku Hadouken!" he said, as a massive black fireball-like Ball of Energy rushed at the Shark. Kisame grinned "Fool! It absorbs-" he was about to say, then looked shocked as the Fireball destroyed the Shark and rushed at him "Chakra." he finished as he was engulfed by the attack. Once the attack was over, Kisame laid on the water, injured. Blood was rushing out of different parts of his body and his mouth, while his cloak was torn. He coughed as Naruto appeared before him. He looked in his eyes in defiance, as Naruto formed a Raikiri made of Black Lightning. He stabbed Kisame in the heart, killing him instantly. He took out his arm, as he looked at Itachi.

Itachi felt sadness for the death of his teammate, then narrowed his eyes at Naruto. He rushed at him, sending Shuriken, while coating his arms with Chakra. The Kunai bounced off as Naruto and Itachi engaged in a Taijutsu match. Despite Itachi's speed and reflexes, Naruto dodged every blow. He gasped in pain as Naruto twisted one of Itachi's punches, breaking his arm. Itachi using a one-handed seal, released a stream of fire at Naruto point-blank. Naruto came out unharmed, as he tore off his shirt, his torso now bare. He cracked his fingers and neck, then charged at Itachi, piercing him, only to get a point blank explosion, courtesy of a Clone. He shrugged it off,as he looked at Itachi's eyes shifting to the Mangekyo Sharingan. It had three spiralling curves around the pupil. "Amaterasu." said Itachi, as black flames surrounded Naruto. To his shock, however, Naruto dodged it, as he appeared in front of him "Rising Dragon!" he said, as he uppercutted Itachi's chin, blood flowing out. Itachi fell to the ground, then opened his eyes using Tsukiyomi, however, Naruto's superior eyes broke it like it was nothing. He opened his palm, a black orb appearing "Energy Eruption." he said, creating a massive explosion. Itachi, however, did something Naruto didn't expect. He survived, with a large ethereal humanoid wearing armor and holding a shield and a flaming sword surrounding him "If I hadn't use this, I would have died. Feel the power of the Susanoo!" he said, as he swung his sword at him. Naruto dodged it with narrowed eyes 'The Totsuka blade. A blade which can seal whatever it touches. While I am confident in my strength, I don't want to risk being sealed inside it, only to find out I can't break the seal.' he thought, avoiding swings as he looked at the shield 'The Yata Mirror, it can stop any elemental attack. Well then, I will have to use that for the first time.' he thought. He ducked under a swing, as he appeared in front of the Mirror. Then, to Itachi's shock, he unsheathed Arashi and struck the mirror, forcing it to break in a hundred pieces. Itachi gasped "Impossible!" he said, as Naruto sheathed his blade. Itachi swung his sword, only to be shocked at what happened next. A black skeletal arm blocked it, as a ribcage appeared. Soon a large humanoid skeleton complete with skin and armor. It towered over Itachi's by a dozen feet. It had 6 arms. Two held a long Tachi and a round shield, two held twin Kodachi and two held a bow and arrow. Naruto smirked, as the tomoe in his eyes started spinning "Time to feel my Susanoo." he said. Naruto's Susanoo started attacking Itachi with the blades, as Itachi was forced on the defensive. On the rare chances he found an opening, his sword was blocked by Naruto's shield. At one point, when Naruto swung both of his Kodachi, two blades of Chakra rushed out and hit him, causing Susanoo to tremble. At that moment, Naruto threw an arrow, that destroyed his armor and one of his hands, the Sword of Totsuka disappearing. Now he was in simple skeletal form, but it was soon destroyed as well by Naruto's assault. Naruto dispersed his own Susanoo as Itachi started coughing blood. He approached him, dodging a few weak throws of Kunai, as he kicked his chin, forcing him to the ground. He placed his leg above his chest, adding pressure on it. Naruto smiled sadly "That was a good warm up." he told him, before he raised his arm in the air. A black flame appeared, being shaped into a sword. He plunged it inside Itachi, as he gasped, blood flowing out of his mouth. Then, he closed his eyes, as he started falling in the River, the sword still inside. He sighed, as he finished him. He looked up, feeling Pain's rage.

Hashirama Statue

Everyone was shocked at the latest had his eyes widened 'Such power…' he thought, then stopped as he heard a squeal from Mei. She grinned "Yes Naruto-sama! You turned that shark into sushi!" she said, causing Onoki to chuckle. However, the Jinchuuriki rose, as all felt the massive spike of Chakra.

Madara Statue

Pain looked at Naruto with clear rage in his Rinnegan eyes. This boy foiled all his plans and killed all of his subordinates, He turned, seeing Zetsu dropping his cloak "I ain't fighting him. I'd rather defect." the twin voices said,disappearing. Pain roared, his Chakra flaring. He jumped down, 5 others following him.

Valley

Naruto smirked, as he saw Pain's fury in his eyes. He then looked at the 5 others, seeing the orange hair and Rinnegan eyes. He whistled "Interesting. You are using the Six Paths technique. You pass all paths except the Outer Path inside 6 reanimated bodies. 1 path for each body. If I assume correct, the one you use as a Leader must be the Deva path." he said, Pain nodding "With this, I will show you the meaning of Pain." he said, only to hear chuckling. He looked as Naruto's eyes glowed brighter, his power rising "If I waited for you to show me pain,I would have died at the hands of the villagers all those years ago. No, what you will show me, is the life leaving your eyes." he said. And with that, they charged each other.
