To the guest that reviewed saying wow…I honestly expected Tobi to rub salt in the wound, Obito was always about teamwork, and saving comrades. He felt sorry for Naruto, his objective comes first but to see Naruto betrayed after doing so much to save his comrades, he didn't like it.
…
Naruto screamed in agony, as part of his essence was pulled from him. This was the most pain he had ever been in. He saw Yugao sitting in the corner struggling to come help him as he gritted his teeth against the pain. Naruto tried to go into his mindscape but he had been brought right back to here as he screamed.
"Don't stop now, keep the extraction going!" Tobi yelled out.
"NO! stop it! You are killing him!" Yugao screamed out. Wanting the pain to stop for Naruto.
The Akatsuki just continued to suck The Kyuubi out of the Blonde ninja.
…
Hinata woke up hours later, she immediately realized what had happened. She tried to get up, but she realized she was tied down, her eyes widened in fear, why was she tied down. "Why am I tied down? Why can't I get up, I need to go to Naruto. I have to go save him. He would do it for me. I can't leave what I said to him as the last thing I ever say to him." Hinata was struggling when someone opened the door.
"Hinata, please calm down, we had to tie you down in order to make sure you wouldn't try to go after Naruto like you tried. We can't let you do that, Naruto would kill us if we let you go out there." Tenten told her.
"L-Let me g-go. P-please T-tenten. D-don't l-leave me l-like this." Hinata asked fearfully.
"I'm sorry Hinata, but we can't do that. You will try to go after Naruto again." Neji said as he walked in.
"P-Please! I h-have to g-go and save h-him." Hinata begged.
"Hinata, Naruto is an S class Ninja, near Kage level. He was taken out by this group, how do you plan to fight them exactly? You would be a mere hindrance. I'm sorry but it's the truth Hinata." Neji told her.
"I-I h-have to t-try." Hinata told them. "I-I can't Leave him to die!"
"There is a strike force heading to save him. Most of them are S class ninja. They will save him, even Tenten, Lee, and myself would be complete hindrances to this group." Neji told her.
Hinata shook her head, "I don't care! I have to go to him!"
Neji sighed, "This is why we can't untie you Hinata."
"You can't, but I will. Shadow possession, shadow paralysis complete." Shikamaru stated.
Neji's eyes widened, "Shikamaru, what are you doing!"
"Hinata and I are Naruto's team. We aren't sitting by and letting him be taken. We are going and we are going to stay out of the way, unless it is vital, right Hinata?" Shikamaru told him.
Hinata's eyes widened, "R-right!" Shikamaru then untied her and they headed towards the door.
"Wait! Shikamaru, let me go with you, Naruto is important to me." Tenten requested.
Shikamaru turned to her, "How do I know you aren't trying to stop us?"
"Because I wanted to go myself. It doesn't make sense though." Tenten told them.
"Allow me to come then, I can keep an eye out for Hinata this way." Neji told them, "Naruto is going to kill us all for allowing Hinata to come though."
"YOSH! I must go as well! THE FIRE OF THIS YOUTH! Naruto is my comrade and I will not abandon him!" Lee shouted as he walked in.
"Right then, let's go. You all know that we are disobeying direct orders, right?" Shikamaru asked.
They all nodded and he let them go, "I'm team leader, any of you have a problem with that, stay here."
They all nodded and sped for the village walls. Hinata and Shikamaru releasing their weight seals as they did. They were outside the village when a ninja dressed in all black passed them, the ninja stopped in front of them glaring at them, "Exactly what do the five of you think you are doing?" Hiruzen Sarutobi growled out.
"We are going to save Naruto, sensei. He is our friend, our comrade, we won't sit idly by as he is killed." Shikamaru told the old Kage.
"Right, well then, I'm coming with you. Naruto is like a grandson to me. I won't leave him either. We must hurry." Hiruzen told them.
With that the group took off, led by the Third Hokage.
…
Itachi reached the layer of the Akatsuki, where his locator seal was. He jumped off of Kamitar, his crow summon, and went through hand seals in midair, he could hear Naruto screaming in pain inside. Itachi finished his hand seals, then brought to fingers up, he pointed them up, he brought them down, before going to the right, then up left, then back down again. He then went up to the right, then to the left. He then pointed them at the cave, a powerful bolt of lightning shot out of his fingers, "Lightning style: DEVESTATION!" Itachi shouted as the bolt struck the cave, the side of the cave, including the seals blocking them from entering. The bolt shot down hitting lighting up the entire area as Itachi dropped into the cave sprinting forward and devastating anyone who was still alive before he finally entered into the area where the main Akatsuki members were.
Kisame charged at him, swinging his sword. Itachi blocked with his Tanto, Kisame slid the sharkskin blade along the tanto and it snapped, Itachi jumped out of the way. Disappearing into a storm of crows. Kisame threw an elbow at a spot, Itachi appeared and blocked the elbow.
"You saw through my genjutsu that easily? Impressive." Itachi said and jumped back. He stared at Kisame for a moment, before raising a hand and blocking a strike from Tobi when he appeared out of nowhere. Itachi jumped back as Kakuzu jumped at him, striking to kill him, but it was no use. Itachi began dodging as best he could. He was unable to attack them back, instead only dodging and keeping them unable to get keep extracting Kurama from Naruto.
Jiraiya arrived next, he crashed into the cave in full Sage Mode. He grinned as he fired a fire jutsu at Tobi. He owed the man for the kick earlier.
Tobi phased through it and charged at him Jiraiya grinned as he launched multiple more jutsu at the man.
Kakashi was next, he went straight for Naruto trying to grab his son, he was stopped by Hidan however, as the man swung his blade, Kakashi had to jump back and away from Naruto. He cursed, Hidan was an immortal powerhouse, he couldn't let himself be hit by his blade.
Gai stormed in next, not far behind Kakashi, he landed a kick straight to Hidan and jumped down next to Kakashi after he did. "Careful Gai, if this man so much as scratches you, he can kill you in an instance he is immortal."
Gai nodded and sighed, getting focused. Kakashi charged forward as Gai followed him, acting as the man's back up.
Hayate arrived next, he headed straight for Yugao, but was stopped by multiple rogue ninja that worked for the Akatsuki.
Gai and Kakashi charged towards Hidan as the man swung his scythe. Kakashi blocked the strike pushing his scythe up and allowing Gai to come in and hit him across the face with a deadly haymaker, Gai grinned as he felt Hidan's neck snap, breaking under the force of his fist. Gain was shocked when Kakashi tackled him to the ground, away from Hidan's scythe. They rolled up to their feet and Gai watched in horror as Hidan reached up and snapped his head back into place. "AHAHAHAHAHA that almost hurt a little." Hidan screeched.
Kakashi sighed, "Gai, he is immortal, I told you that, don't be foolish."
Gai nodded, "Right, now I understand. Kakashi, grab Naruto, I will take him from here."
"Gai, as much as I would like to get Naruto out of here, you can't activate the gates yet. We may need you to do that later. Just wait, fight him with me, we will see what we can do." Kakashi told him.
Gai growled but nodded the affirmative, he took his bag off of his back and pulled out his nunchaku in order to fight the scythe wielding maniac.
Kakashi meanwhile took out a pair of kunai, spinning them on his fingers before holding them in reverse grip like normal for him.
The two-elite leaf ninja, charged at Hidan.
Anko appeared next with Shizune as the two charged in looking to grab Naruto, it was to no avail however as a woman appeared in front of them, whirling out of a spiraling tornado of paper. They jumped back unsure of what to do against this woman, they could tell her power was great.
They held up their guard as thousands of paper kunai raced at them, they started to block and dodge as much as they could. Gaining scrapes and cuts as they did from the thousands of kunai.
Naruto was trying to move at this point, trying to get up and help. His entire body hurt to much however. His wounds from Kiba also weren't healed at all yet. He coughed up blood and groaned in pain as he continually tried to get up, it was no use however. He dropped back down and looked up as Jiraiya fought off Tobi, Itachi fighting hard against Kisame, Kakashi and Gai facing Hidan, Kakuzu walked towards him and he again began to struggle to move, Kakuzu would take him away from his friends, who he needed to help. It was no use however he was unable to get away as Kakuzu grabbed him and picked him up, jumping away from the fight, and out of the cave.
…
Kakuzu ran as fast as he could to get away from the fight, taking the injured jinchuuriki with him, so as to further the Akatsuki's goals, as well as get revenge on him. This kid was responsible for his failure to capture the seven tails jinchuuriki. He also for some reason reminded him of the first hokage, whom he despised. He couldn't let the kid get away from them all.
Hinata's group was racing towards the location of the base Naruto had been in. Shikamaru had gotten the intel before rescuing getting Hinata. Their group sped through the forest closing in on the cave.
"Guys! Naruto was just taken from the cave, a man with an interesting body has taken him. The others are fighting in the cave, unable to go after him. It's up to us!" Hinata told the group.
Neji was shocked, "Hinata, how far can you see!? We are still far out of my vision range!"
"I can see up to 15 Kilometers but only that far in one direction, in all directions I can see about 5 kilometers." Hinata told him.
"That's…That's impossible Hinata! I can only see .8 Kilometers." Neji said astounded.
Hinata sighed biting her lip, "Just…Consider it one of the…gifts left me by Orochimaru, and Kabuto's experimentation. It was very unpleasant. Please just leave it at that."
Neji nodded, gritting his teeth, there had been a lot of pain in her voice, he could tell she was thinking back to the hell that she had gone through.
"Good work Hinata. Lead the way, full speed you all. Neji, Hinata, you two are not to engage if it is Kakuzu like I suspect then you can do no damage to him. Tenten, stay out of the way, your weapons will do nothing to Kakuzu. Lee, you will provide backup for Shikamaru and I, we will be the main force. We are the strongest. Hinata, Neji, if you see a chance you grab Naruto and get the hell out of dodge. Get him back to the village please." Hiruzen's old voice graveled out.
"I can help. I have other skills than just gentle fist." Hinata told him.
"Absolutely not, you aren't even ranked genin right now. You will follow my orders or you will stay here." Hiruzen told her.
Hinata sighed but nodded, she would not continue to argue with the Third Hokage. She just pushed herself harder than she ever had in order to save Naruto.
…
Tenzo finally arrived in the cave, he snuck in, and got to Yugao first, he untied her and released the chakra suppressing seals on her immediately. He helped her stand and started to walk her towards the entrance of the cave he had to get his teammate out of here, neither of them were in any shape to fight. Both had been beaten severely.
Tobi looked over and saw his prey, Yugao, escaping from his base. He growled before looking back at Jiraiya he grit his teeth and started to teleport away from Jiraiya. Jiraiya growled and sensed for where he would show back up.
Tobi reappeared in front of Yugao and Tenzo, "Just where do you think the two of you are going. You can't leave the party yet."
With that Tobi backhanded Tenzo away, the man to weak and powerless to stop Tobi. Tobi then shot towards Yugao, sword aiming for her heart. She wouldn't go down without a fight however, she weakly drew her sword and batted away the first attack, only for Tobi to turn and swipe at her sword knocking it out of her hand and scoring a large cut across her chest. Blood shot out of the wound an Yugao screamed in pain as she dropped to her knees.
Hayate looked over and saw what was happening, he rushed towards them, Tobi went through hand seals looking at Yugao, the woman could do nothing to stop him. Tobi grinned, "LIGHTNING BLADE!" He roared and shot towards Yugao. Yugao braced for the attack and he shot towards her thrusting out with his hand, lightning covering it.
Hayate intercepted the attack, grabbing his arm and running him through with his own sword, Tobi coughed up blood. Hayate did as well, with Tobi's arm through him.
"NO!" Yugao screamed as she watched the love of her life was impaled by Tobi's arm as he destroyed Hayate's heart. Hayate dropped to the ground, Yugao catching him in her arms already on her knees. "Hayate, Hayate no! Stay with me! Please stay with me!"
Hayate looked up at Yugao, he weakly raised his hand to her face, "Yugao, I will always love you. Please live on." With that being said the light began to fade from his eyes.
"HAYATE NO! I…I love you too." Yugao whispered out…But Hayate continued to fade and then, he passed. Yugao began to cry.
Tobi coughed up blood, as Jiraiya appeared behind him, "Rasengan!" He yelled driving his spiraling attack into the masked man. He yelled in pain as Jiraiya ground him down. He shot backwards before impacting in the wall of the cave. Jiraiya charged at him again, intent on finishing him for good.
"Retreat!" Tobi cried out. He phased out of existence, leaving the rest of the Akatsuki to retreat in their own ways. He needed to recover, that shot from Jiraiya had almost killed him.
Kisame and Itachi had been fighting the whole time, each scoring light attacks on the other, none had done much damage, but Kisame started to back away when Tobi had screamed retreat. Itachi sighed, "Go. We will meet again in battle, when we are not so drained. I look forward to the challenge." Itachi told the shark man.
Kisame grinned, "You are a man of great honor Itachi, I look forward to fighting you again." With that the man disappeared in a vortex of water.
Itachi dropped to his knees on the other hand, coughing up blood as he did. He had no injuries but his disease was catching up to him. He was dying and this fight was proof of it. He should have been able to end Kisame with ease, instead fighting him to a standstill was pretty pititful. He needed to be healed he supposed.
Konan cursed and disappeared in a whirlwind of paper, turning into it and flying out of the cave, not that Anko and Shizune could really protest. They had been destroyed by Konan. She had far outclassed the two of them. They dropped to the ground bleeding profusely as their opponent left.
Hidan cursed, he had multiple holes in him, from Kakashi, as well as Gai. The two ninja were kicking the shit out of him, he wasn't dead, but he was hurting quite a bit. He backed away from the two leaf ninja. Gai moved towards him, but Kakashi put his arm out, stopping Gai, "Wait, Gai, look around, let him go, we have wounded to tend to. Naruto is gone, we don't have time. No sense trying to kill this zombie."
Gai growled but nodded, he hated letting an enemy get away like this, but Hidan took that as his chance and took his leave, following with the rest of the Akatsuki as the leaf ninja turned to tend to their wounded.
Kakashi sighed, it looked like he, Gai, and Jiraiya were the only able bodied men left. "Gai, stay here, you are exhausted, look after them, please, Jiraiya and I must go after Naruto. I wouldn't ask you unless there was any other way. The force here needs someone able bodied to stay, I can't stay, he is my son. He is Jiraiya's godson. Please Gai."
Gai nodded, "Say no more Kakashi! Go save Naruto."
Kakashi nodded and he and Jiraiya took off after Kakuzu.
…
Hinata finally had gotten the group to Kakuzu, it was a large group however and he had sensed them coming, he growled as he waited for them in a clearing.
Hinata gasped as she saw Naruto's condition, he was stabbed through by black threads through his stomach and into the tree, before they wrapped around him. He was conscious and weakly struggling but it was no good. He was in a large amount of pain.
Hiruzen growled, "Remember the plan, Hinata, Neji, Tenten back off. Lee, weights off."
Everyone nodded and Kakuzu laughed, "This is the best you could bring? The shadow user I have already beaten, two Hyuga that are useless against me, two weaklings and an old man? Pitiful."
Before he could say another word Hiruzen was next to him, a kunai to one of four hearts, "Don't move."
Kakuzu responded by shooting black threads from his body towards the old Kage. Hiruzen cursed jumping back and blocking all the threads with the kunai he held in his hand. He landed and dodged the incoming threads. He growled this was going to be more difficult than he thought.
Kakuzu grinned, "Luckily I was able to take more hearts when we originally got away with the 9 tails brat."
Naruto held his head up coughing up more blood, "Get out of here!" He coughed again, "Hinata, get out of here! He is too dangerous for you all!"
"We won't leave you Naruto." Hiruzen told him, before rushing forward. Kakuzu grinned as he waited for the man, only for Shikamaru to appear next to him and aim his staff at Kakuzu. He grabbed the staff and ripped it out of Shikamaru's hand, he then his fire mask came out of the man's back and then he shouted, "Fire Style: Searing Migraine!" at the boy. Shikamaru cursed, and jumped back. It was no use as the fireball engulfed him. He screamed in pain as he dropped to the ground, burned.
Hiruzen cursed, he jumped in front of Shikamaru and blocked the threads, that came at the man in a spike. Hiruzen growled, he looked back and saw his apprentice was not in great shape, the boy had been caught off guard and defenseless from that fireball without his staff, Kakuzu must have monstrous strength. Lee jumped next to Hiruzen and held his hand up, getting into his fighting stance, as Tenten jumped down and grabbed Shikamaru jumping away and setting him down.
"Do not worry Lord Third, I will back you up. I can fight him!" Lee shouted.
Hiruzen nodded and Lee shot towards Kakuzu. Hiruzen followed him, going through hand seals "Fire style: Grand fireball jutsu!"
Kakuzu grinned, "Water style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
The two jutsus clashed and steam rose up around them. Lee shot through and landed a powerful kick on Kakuzu, he expected that the man would shoot to the side, however threads had blocked the kick, they wrapped around Lee and threw him into a tree.
Lee dropped to the ground and groaned, before rolling back to his feet, Hinata watched on in fear, as the battle waged on between Kakuzu and the Third Hokage. The man who was once hailed as the God of shinobi, was past his prime, however still stronger than most he was putting up quite a fight against the man. But his stamina was dwindling.
Kakuzu on the otherhand was just getting warmed up and hitting his stride. Hinata couldn't take it anymore Naruto was still in a large amount of pain, he was struggling though, he was powerless.
Hinata saw Kakuzu get batted away and she jumped down next to Naruto. She pulled out a kunai and tried to cut the threads holding him, but it was no use. She grunted in effort, as Neji jumped down next to them. "Hinata," Naruto coughed out, "Please get out of here, it's no use they aren't cutting. Get grandpa hokage and get out of here please."
Hinata shook her head looking into his eyes, "I won't leave you Naru, you wouldn't leave me, now it's my turn to save you."
Naruto shook his head, "Hina, please get away from here, I don't want anyone to die because of me."
Hinata shook her head tears in her eyes, "No! I won't do it!" She grunted in effort as she tried to pull at the cords that bound and speared Naruto but it was to no avail. In fact, the cords began to tighten, crushing Naruto as he screamed in pain, his ribs were crushed as the cords tightened on him. Blood leaked out of his wounds and gushed from his mouth. Hinata's eyes widened once again, "Naru!"
Kakuzu laughed, "Those cords are indestructible there is no way you will be getting him out of them. The more you try the tighter they get, so good luck with that. Then a mask manifested a body and charged at Neji and Hinata. Lightning rippling off of it. It shot a lightning bolt at the two and Neji began to spin, "Rotation!" The bolt dissipated and Neji stopped spinning before glaring at the mask.
"Hinata, Neji! Retreat, you can't do much to hurt that mask with gentlefist." Hiruzen shouted at the two Hyuga ninja.
They jumped back but the mask followed them both attacking them once again. Neji spinning into a rotation in midair before jumping at the mask and smashing a palm strike into it. The masked creature didn't budge but grabbed him, electrocuting him and throwing him into a tree.
Neji cried out in pain before hitting the tree and dropping to the ground, electricity crackling off of his body.
Hinata on the other hand grit her teeth, she smashed a kick into the mask as hard as she could, the mask didn't budge it, grabbed her foot and send electricity into her as well. She cried out but gritted her teeth before smashing a palm strike into the mask itself. It let out a shriek in pain as it dropped Hinata. Hinata landed hard and rolled out of the way of the stomp. She rolled to her feet and dodged the next strike.
Naruto continued to watch on in horror as there was nothing he could do to save the woman he loved as she was followed by the monster.
Lee appeared out of nowhere and smashed a kick into the creature. It shot across the land and smashed through a tree. It got up however and shot straight for Hinata as she went straight for Naruto to try to rescue him again.
Lee growled, "DO NOT IGNORE ME!" Lee crossed his arms and green chakra surrounded him, "Fifth Gate, Gate of Limit: OPEN!" Lee shouted as he shot forward and smashed a fist into the mask of the monster as it cracked and blew up. Lee screamed as he was electrocuted, however he landed and charged at Kakuzu and kicked him in the face. Kakuzu shot away from him and shot threads out stopping himself as they dug into the ground. Kakuzu gave Lee a look and tried to shoot towards him. But Lee was next to him, with a fist into his stomach before turning and firing a kick into Kakuzu's face. Kakuzu shot into the air and Lee jumped up grabbing him and wrapping his bandages around the man. He began to spin and drove Kakuzu into the ground head first. Lee jumped back and grimaced in pain as he felt his body wearing. He let the gates close and was breathing hard.
Kakazu got up and walked out of the hole, laughing, "You are impressive boy, you just destroyed 2 of my hearts, now I will take your heart and continue to live on."
Lee shook his head, "While you are a strong opponent I will not allow you to kill me or my friends. You will release Naruto. Now."
Kakuzu shook his head "No. I won't be doing that." He shot towards Lee in order to fight the boy more. However, Hiruzen intercepted him with a kick and landed next to Lee as Kakuzu shot off to the side. And through another tree.
Hinata was back with Naruto as his vision was getting blurry. The cords constricted him even more as Kakuzu had lost the two hearts. Naruto was unable to breath properly, he was also losing a lot of blood. Kurama had been cut off from Naruto and unable to help him at the moment.
"Hina, please get everyone out of here. I don't want to lose any of you." Naruto told her. He was starting to fade.
Hinata shook her head, she placed her hands onto Naruto and started a healing jutsu and healing Naruto as she saw his vitals start to fade. Naruto began to feel warm as he was healed by Hinata. He smiled slightly at her, "Thank you Hina."
Kakuzu landed next to Hiruzen as he spun his summoned staff around him and held it up. That's when Jiriaya and Kakashi landed next to him, Kakuzu cursed, "This is where I take my leave then."
Kakashi shook his head, "No. You won't be going anywhere."
"Quite the contrary Copy Cat Kakashi. If you've any desire to save the boy, you will want to get my cords off of him in the next 10 seconds they will explode." Kakuzu said before turning and jumping away. However as soon as he landed on the first branch away, he snapped his fingers and the cords wrapped around Naruto began to glow. Hinata's eyes widened as she was engulfed in the blinding light.
There was no time to jump back, no time to get the cords off Naruto. Hinata felt herself be pushed back and thrown away from Naruto, she had been launched through the air but it wasn't enough the blast still engulfed her as she cried out.
Kakashi dropped to his knees as it blew, there had been nothing he could have done. He just watched, waiting as the smoke from the explosion billowed away. Finally, Naruto was viewable, he was gritting his teeth in pain, as Kurama's chakra boiled around him. Naruto dropped to his knees, as the chakra dissipated. Kakashi felt a wave of relief wash over him as he saw his son wasn't dead, at least not yet. There were giant chunks of him missing however, a hole had been blown in his stomach. Where the cords had been.
Naruto was coughing up blood as he dropped down to the ground, however he crawled towards where Hinata lay, unmoving from the blast. Smoke billowing off of her prone form. Naruto pulled himself over to her, before finally collapsing onto the ground, "Hina." He whispered as he reached out and placed a hand on her face, she had been caught in the blast and was burnt but she was breathing. She opened her eyes, pained, but alive. She saw Naruto's blue eyes looking into hers. He smiled, "Hina, thank God you are alive." He breathed out, before his eyes slowly drifted shut.
Hinata's eyes widened as she looked at him, worried he had passed from the world, "Naruto!" She cried out, hissing in pain as she moved, the burns covering her body hurting her. However, it was something she was used to and she moved around anyways. She saw Naruto's stomach and gasped, there the giant gaping hole stared back at her. She started to cry as she placed her healing hands on him. She wasn't doing much good, but it was better than nothing she supposed. As the wound ever so slowly started to mend with Kurama's help. Naruto was breathing lightly, but she could see he was going to be fine, Kurama's chakra was finally flowing through him and he was going to be okay.
She didn't realize that everyone was surrounding her, she looked up at them and sighed, "He is going to be okay, I just need to…Keep working…on healing him." She told the group, until she passed out as well. Falling to the ground next to Naruto, her hand falling into his own as she dropped, the burns, and injuries finally passing the adrenaline as she dropped.
Kakashi sighed took both of their vitals and nodded, they would indeed be fine. He picked Naruto up, as Tenten landed and picked up Hinata and lifted her onto her shoulders, as Hiruzen picked up Shikamaru, "I'm glad you got here when you did, Jiraiya, Kakashi. Where is the rest of your squad?"
Kakashi shook his head, "Injured and heading back to the village. Let's head that way."
Hiruzen nodded and the group started to head towards the village.
