A/N: This was my entry for the Naruto100 'Hollywood Style' challenge. If you count the 'Star Wars Gangsta Rap' as Hollywood.

Akatsuki Strikes Back

Watching his mentor, his teacher, his friend, being struck down by the leader of Akatsuki was something Naruto never imagined he would witness. But he could only watch in horror as the glowing blade slid smoothly through Jiraiya's chest. Ero-sennin slumped forward and fell, unheeding of the cry that tore itself from Naruto's throat. The smile of the Akatsuki leader was all he saw as Jiraiya breathed his last. Next thing Naruto knew he was at the mysterious leader's throat.

"That's right Naruto, release your anger. You fight better when your life's in danger." The leader said with a smirk, blocking each of the young man's blows with his glowing blade. Naruto snarled, the Kyuubi's chakra rising up in him like bile in his throat, choking him. The claws began extending from his fingers as the Kyuubi began to take over, the red chakra beginning to surround his form. His transformation was suddenly interrupted, however, by a searing pain that erupted from his right wrist and brought him to his knees.

"Jiraiya could never bother… telling you about your father…" The leader said smoothly, holding his blade to Naruto's throat. Clenching his jaws through the pain, Naruto held his bleeding stump of an arm to his chest, looking up at the leader of Akatsuki with hatred in his eyes.

"He told me enough, he told me Kyuubi killed him!" The leader smiled. His face was concealed by a jutsu that revealed only an outline, his eyes, and mouth, but the jutsu began to flicker and fade as Naruto looked on.

"Well, there is something I must reveal then." The jutsu dropped completely, revealing a shock of blonde hair and an all too familiar face. Yondaime. Naruto's mouth fell open in shock as the former Hokage spoke.

"I am your father."
