A/N: Here's the final chapter of the Orochimaru, Kazekage fight... and yes, it ends the way you think it's going to end. I even use a rather obvious line.

Chapter 107: Death of a Kage

Chaka and Vivi watched the kingdom below…

"I'm sorry I had to leave like that." Said Vivi, "But it isn't over. Even if we succeed, as long as he's still alive this Kingdom will not be at peace."

She looked down, "I'm also worried about them." She said as she remembered Zoro's words to her.

"Princess." Said Chaka, "In the two years you were gone you have grown wise and beautiful. Once this is over we must throw a grand celebration for the pirates who helped you."

"Yes…" said Vivi.

"Lord Chaka." Came voice.

They turned to see a bloodied palace guard.

"What is it?" asked Chaka.

"Here in the Palace!" said the Guard before he collapsed.

"You're playing a dangerous game Ms. Wednesday. This is my new home you're trying to demolish." Said Crocodile gaining everyone's attention, "I've always like palaces. It's the perfect palace to watch all of the vermin."

"Crocodile!" cried Vivi in shock.

Chaka glared on him on the other hand.

Back in the desert…

The two greats stood across each other. The Kazekage took out two daggers whole Orochimaru readied his sword.

"Let's go." Said the Kazekage.

Orochimaru nodded.

The two ran towards each other. The Kazekage attempted to stab Orochimaru with his daggers but Orochimaru sliced them with his sword.

"Such is the power of Kusanagi." Said Orochimaru with an evil smirk.

The Kazekage gritted his teeth in anger when he heard that. He jumped back and took out two more daggers.

"I'm at a disadvantage." Thought the Kazekage, "But as long as Orochimaru won't use clones I think it's going to be just fine…"

"Just a little more." Thought Orochimaru with an evil smirk.

That was Orochimaru let loose several snakes from his sleeves. They all moved towards the Kazekage who began to use his dagger to slice them up.

"So up to your old tricks." Said the Kazekage.

"Oh come on. We both know that my old student uses those tricks too." Said Orochimaru licking his lips.

That's when he extended his tongue out he wrapped it around the neck of the Kazekage.

"Damn it!" yelled the Kazekage stabbing him in the tongue.

Orochimaru flinched and let go with his tongue.

"Well… that's going to hurt for a while." Said Orochimaru.

The Kazekage glared at Orochimaru while trying to catch his breath.

"So you've been experimenting on yourself?" he asked.

"Yes I have… but then again such a thing is not surprising." Said Orochimaru with an evil smile, "After all, I was disgraced for doing such experiments on the living… so why not myself."

"You're a monster." Muttered the Kazekage.

"Oh and you're not. You essentially killed your wife to make your son a weapon." Said Orochimaru, "If it hadn't been for me. You would have lost your title… not mention your little secret."

"What little secret?" asked the Kazekage.

Orochimaru smiled evilly, it was then the Kazekage knew what he was referring to.

"How do you know about that? Only my children know about that!" said the Kazekage.

"Oh… I know…" said Orochimaru, "That you saw your son as a failed experiment and tried to assassinate him using your brother in law. Not only did it not fail, but your brother in law died from it… as for how I know… that's a secret."

The Kazekage was shaking…

"It's old news… so I'm sure that won't get the Kage's angry…. But who knows… maybe the mixture of this and that will clinch it even if it's not already sure a thing." Mocked Orochimaru.

That was when the Kazekage threw his dagger at Orochimaru who managed to dodge it. He threw his second dagger at him Orochimaru caught it.

"I take it that was your last dagger…" said Orochimaru, "I guess you weren't expecting a fight today, were you?"

The Kazekage harshly at Orochimaru. He ran towards the snake like man, readying his fist. The Kazekage was about to punch Orochimaru when suddenly he was stabbed in the back.

He turned around and saw Orochimaru… another Orochimaru… while the one in front of disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"You said we would only use our skill, you said we wouldn't use clones." Said the Kazekage.

"I lied." Answered Orochimaru.

The Kazekage's eyes widened as he fell to the ground.

"It's just as you told me… you would rather die than lose your title." Said Orochimaru, "How ironic that it was indeed by my hands."

"You bastard." Muttered the Kazekage, coughing up blood.

"It's a shame really, that you didn't' see this though the end." Said Orochimaru, "After all Crocodile is going to fail… Thanks to Straw Hat this Kingdom won't fall."

The Kazekage with his last once of strength glared at Orochimaru… then he died.

Meanwhile with Naruto's fight. No one had made a move that's when Yugito sensed something.

"What's wrong?" asked Hinata.

"Nothing…" lied Yugito.

"Kitten, you feel that?" asked Nibi.

"Yes… I do… the Kazekage… is dead…" thought Yugito.

Back with Orochimaru, he disappeared and reappeared where Tayuya was sitting. She had since recovered from Sakura's final attack.

"So Tayuya. I take it you fought one of the Straw Hats." Said Orochimaru with an evil smirk.

"Yes I did… and the bitch I fought knows Tsunade's moves." Said Tayuya breathing heavily.

"I see." Said Orochimaru.

Orochimaru helped up the red head and both of them disappeared and reappeared next to Kabuto who was trying to recover with the fight he had with Sasuke. Orochimaru's eyes widened when he saw the wound.

"That wound." Said Orochimaru.

"It was caused by Chidori." Said Kabuto.

Orochimaru smirked… "So who did it you?" asked Orochimaru.

"Uchiha Sasuke." Answered Kabuto.

Orochimaru smiled when he heard this.

"Let us leave this kingdom." Said Orochimaru, "We must prepare for our next move."

"Then you mean?" asked Kabuto.

Orochimaru nodded.

The three of them disappeared from the middle of the street, going to plan Sound's next move… whatever that may be.

Meanwhile the Guards have heard about the fact that Crocodile had been seen at the Palace. Many guards that went to go help… however something strange had happened many arms had appeared on the doors pushing away any guards that had went to try to help. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio was overseeing the outside plans of the Palace when this happened.

"Damn it!" yelled Inoichi.

"How are we supposed to help?" asked Choza.

Shikaku was staring at one of the Guards, he suddenly punched him in the gut.

"Shikaku!" yelled both Inoichi and Choza.

"Look at his arm." Said Shikaku pointing to the arm on the Guard… or rather, the tattoo on his arm.

"Baroque Works." Said Inoichi.

"That's a pretty stupid idea putting tattoos on their arms that says their group." Said Choza.

"Right now we let who's ever inside. For now our job is to take care of the pawns." Explained Shikaku, "Get out word about the tattoo…"

The two nodded as they knew that for now their role was more a little different. Not knowing if what they were about to do would change things once and for all.
