Holy fucking shit I finally have it. I apologize for the delay but sadly this chapter didn't want to be. I wrote it again and again but it never really felt good. Hopefully now it's somewhat good and you will enjoy it.

"This suuuuuuuucks!" Hidan mound loudly as he and the rest of team KSDH were walking around the many booths of festival. High above them was the the massive arena floating in the air.
Kakuzu sighed. "What is it now Hidan?"
"I waana fiiiiight!" Hidan said as he overly dramatically let his entire upper body hang. His teammates only shook there heads.
"Come one, its like dealing with a five year old. Get a hold of yourself." Sasori said angrily, feeling a bit of shame since people started to stare at the scene of Hidan having a tantrum.
Minerva put her claw hand on Sasori's shoulder. "Maybe he is just grumpy because he is hungry?"
The immortal continued making a scene. "I don't act like a five year old and I'm not hungry you oversized sex doll."
Deidara spotted a nice looking food booth and pointed at it. "Hey guys, that place looks good enough to eat."
Kakuzu looked over at the booth. "Nothing more then medium sized meals and no dessert."
As the group approached the booth they soon spotted two figures sitting there. The Akatsuki members Itachi and Kisame. The shark naturally waved at them with a smile.
"If it isn't the team that will lose to us and will be the only one giving us a good fight." He said with a toothy grin.
Deidara sat down next to him. "We will see fish boy. My art will blow you away."
As the two of the continued in there friendly rivalry conversation the other members sat down. Kakuzu looked around for a moment wondering were Nagato and Konan were. His eyes met Itachi who answered.
"They said they wanted to discuss something with the teachers. I emphasize said because I personally believe that they are probably screwing behind some Bush again." The uchiha said while tapping his finger on the counter of the booth impatiently.
Kakuzu raised one of his eyebrows. "Is this really still going on?"
Itachi sighed. "I'm happy for them but this is just getting annoying. If there libido rises even more they will probably screw each other during a battle."
The immortal decided to talk now. "Let them be, I always say fuck and let fuck."
"That's the fist time you ever said that." Sasori simply remarked on the side.
The group continued there conversation until another group approached. "Hey guys!"
Team RWBY arrived and happily sat down next to the Akatsuki. Yang immediately smirked at Deidara and Hidan. "If it isn't the Hero's of the day. The hero who lost a limb in battle and a naked lunatic."
"Come the fuck on is that really how the people will remember me? That was my first- maybe fourth time fighting naked and now I won't lose that fucking title?" Hidan complained.
Yang only laughed. "Well I'm just happy they blurred you in the newspaper, imagine what kind of damage you would have done to more fragile people like Ruby. Luckily she wasn't there when you decided to go nude."
Immediately Ruby blushed and looked away. "Yes I uhhhh, didn't see anything. Lucky me."
Everyone of the Akatsuki knew that Ruby not only saw Hidan naked, she was also very close of having his generals literally on her face. Weiss decided to turn the conversation to something more important.
"Deidara, while I respect your boldness to jump back into a fight shouldn't you rest? I mean you just got a prosthetic for your arm." The heiress said worried.
Deidara looked at her confused for a moment before realizing what she meant. They probably all that that after loosing a arm the only logical conclusion would be getting a prosthetic. "Don't worry, mu arm is as good as new. See?"
Deidara moved his arm around a bit while team RWBY watched how easily he moved it around. Blake seemed to be the first to notice that it wasn't actually mechanical. "Is that your old arm?"
Deidara smiled and pulled up his sleeve to revile the Stiches on his arm. "Nothing can beat the original. Luckily I found it in the train wrecks so Kakuzu could Stich me back together."
All of them started at Kakuzu who shrugged. "What? It's always good to have somebody who is able to Stich people up. Especially if you are teammates with somebody who gets stabbed multiple times and dismantled ever so often."
"Fuck you too you tentacle monster." Hidan mumbled.
"B-but you can just attach a limb again? Just like that?" Yang asked completely puzzled how that could work.
"It's not like I youse glue and hope for the best. But yes I am able to reattach limbs if they haven't started to decay in any way. You will probably see the full extent of everyone's power soon during the match." Kakuzu simply said.
In that moment Nagato and Konan arrived. "Hey everyone, it's time to go. We don't want to be late."
"Now they are talking my language." Sasori said while getting up. Minerva however urged them to sit back down.
"Please, you haven't eaten except for this morning. Please just grab some little snack Sasori." But Minerva urging was for nothing as Deidara and Hidan stood up as well.
"Please, as if Hunger could fucking stop us. Feeding us once gives us energy for a hole week." The immortal boasted. Since there lives as shinobi they were used to eat food only a few days a week and most of these meals came in form of food pills.
"Will you cheer for me?" Deidara said as he and weiss eyes meet. She immediately nodded with a little blush on her face.
Kisame whispered to Itachi. "Seems like you were wrong. Itachi and Konan don't always bang each other."
Ruby noticed something around Konan's mouth. She laughed as she realized what it was. "Hey Konan, might want to get rid of that milk on you mouth. Would be embarrassing if you had your first round with some of your breakfast still around your mouth."
Konan whipped the side of her mouth with her thumb and realized that it was milk, just not the kind if milk Ruby was thinking about. The paper angle looked over to her lover with a faint blush and a smile as she licked her thumb and the rest of her mouth clean. "Guess I didn't expect so much milk at once Ruby. Seems I will need to train to swallow it all."
Ruby didn't understand what Konan meant by that but Itachi sure did. His face meet his palms as he let out a sigh of frustration. "One day your children will be mortified what kind of kinky parents they have."
-—-
The floating stadium of the vital festival was full of exited civilians, teachers and hunters who wish to see a good match between the next combatants. Team KSDH versus team NIKK.
The Akatsuki members were already on the battlefield and looked at the massive amount of people who came to see the match, and the many more who are watching this from there televisions.
As the crowd cheered the two referees and commentators professor Oobleck and professor Port announced the two teams and there names. However they had something els to say.
"Before the match began, Nagato Usumaki came up to us to inform us about a little detail in this match." Oobleck began.
"Wait, I thought his name was Nagato sixpaths." Port reminded.
"Yes you see, it appears that it was a mistake and that somebody thought it was a cool name."
"Hmmm, well it seems that somebody doesn't know how to name people or has simply no send of humor." Port laughed loudly.
Oobleck returned to the matter at hand. "Names aside we are informed that none of the combatants possessed a functioning aura. Not that they don't have souls it appears that they can't form it into a defensive shield but therefore gained incredible unique powers."
Port continued. "These eight students assured us that they knew there limits and that of there opponents so we do not have to interfere. However they also warns us not to let minors or people with week stomachs watch since this fight is going to turn brutal because of the missing protection Aura. There will be blood and broken bones. Even if it seems like someone is dying they assured us that everything is under control, the one known as the naked hero has the ability of immortality and can live even after his head is cut off.
"So to putt it into a simple terms, this fight will be rated as watching at own risk. We hope that this fight won't hurt the reputation of the vital festival but with these fighters anything can happen." Oobleck ended the explanation.
"Oh, please Oobleck. It's highl unlikely that it's going to be so- oh my!"
In that moment the four heartbeats shot out of Kakuzu's back, Deidara jumped on his clay bird, the wind rose around Nagato, Itachi drew his blades, Konan sprouted her paper wings, Kisame unwrap his blade, Sasori prepared Minerva with his strings and Hidan cut himself with his scythe around his neck.
The arena slightly lifted from the ground and the randomizer began to spin. One half of the arena turned into a simple flat grass field while the other turned out to be something like a swamp with several puddles of water. Kisame smiled and even slightly positioned himself towards the water.
"Begin!"
The match began and Kisame immediately ran towards the swamp arena in hoping that this would give him an advantage. However he stopped and looked down at his feet, spotted one of Deidara's explosive little centipedes. The shark avoided the blast but knew that that wasn't it, he spun around and blocked an incoming little bird with his sword by batting it away before it detonated.
Deidara smiled down at the shark from his high ground position. With one movement of his hand he dropped several whit balls that split into even more little spiders. The crowd was unsure but stared to cheer as Kisame was being caught in the explosion. The smoke prevented any sight as to what might have happened to the shark.
-—-
On the grass field were Hidan and Nagato currently engaged in a battle of blades. The immortal used his scythe to swing at the Akatsuki leader while Nagato blocked and analyzed his attacks with two chakra rods.
There weapons clashed together given the a short moment to talk as the both forced pressure onto the weapons. Nagato smiled at the immortal. "I have to admit, you are better with your scythe then I thought."
The immortal was pissed of by that comment. "Hold on a fucking minute! Did you just recruit me because of my immortality?!"
"Well, yeah I mean you are a perfect match for Kakuzu who always killed his teammates." Nagato said with a little smile on his face.
Hidan stared to become enraged. "That's it! I'm gonna show you just how powerful I am!"
Hidan suddenly acquired a burst of strength as he pushed Nagato away. The immortal didn't hesitate for a moment and swung again his scythe. Nagato managed to black it in time but the scythe still hit him slightly and draw some blood.
The immortal didn't hesitate and immediately jumped away to gain distance and lick Nagato's blood. The crowd became silent as everyone saw how Hidan's skin completely changed.
Hidan wasn't done as he immediately drew the seal of Jashin on the ground with his foot in the dirt. He stared to giggle like crazy. "The preparations have been made and it Hase been far to long!"
Before Hidan managed to drive a stake through his body he suddenly stopped. It felt like something was pulling his hand away. Looking over to Nagato he saw what was happening. Nagato was using his universal pull to stop Hidan from hurting himself.
After Nagato calmly walked over to Hidan his place his other hand close to Hidan's face. "One almighty push and its over. You can quite now and save yourself the humiliation."
The immortal smiled as he stuck out his tong and moved his lips up to reveal his teeth. "What his quicker? You Wind force or my fucking jaw tearing of my tongue?"
Both remained quiet as they both decided to do nothing and just wait. They were trapped this situation were no one wanted to make the fort move.
-—-
The othe fight on the swamp area wasn't going very well for Sasori as Minerva was swinging wildly in the air while Itachi was calmly walking over to Sasori. "What are you doing Sasori!? He is coming closer!"
"It's futile to scream Minerva. He lost the battle the moment he looked into my eyes." Itach said as he continued to calmly walk up to Sasori while the puppet master still directed Minerva to fight the air.
The uchiha reached Sasori and put one of his blades to the puppet masters throat. "That genius mind and you forgot to not look me in the eyes in battle, how could you forget something like that?"
Slowly Itachi realized that this was to easy. "How could you forget something like that? You have plans for situations like this. Oh no."
Minerva smiled as she bit down her lips causing a little device on Sasori's body to send out a shock through his body, freeing him from the illusion. "Got you."
Sasori pressed his eyes together and let a little orange marble drop out of his sleeves. The moment it touched the ground it exploded and covered both Akatsuki members in a orange cloud.
Itachi immediately jumped out covered his eyes with his hands. They were tearing and burning like hell. The pain was unbearable, it was like he started for twenty minutes into the sun or stared directly at Hidan's penis four a straight minute.
Now he hated himself for making that comparison because now the image of Hidan's dick is causing metal damage on to of the physical that his eyes are suffering now. "What the hell is this?!"
"A very high concentration of modified pepper spray. Extremely painful for the longest time but zero after effects. Don't want to destroy those powerful eyes of yours, just turning them of for now." Sasori explained while Minerva returned to his side.
-—-
Finally the last fight with Konan against Kakuzu was mainly fought by Kakuzu. Even though he didn't even move a muscle. He just watched as his four heartbeats fought against Konan in the air. She managed to counter most of the attacks and even attacks Kakuzu from time to time with weaker attacks.
The biggest problem was the fire beast witch was tearing up everything Konan could think about. Everyone of her paper based attacks simply burn to cinders while one successful hit from that monster could mean the loss of the battle.
"Konan! Give up, it is futile!" Kakuzu called to her while crossing his arms. He didn't realize that Konan wasn't just dogging attacks.
Suddenly the floor underneath Kakuzu stared to shake. He looked down and saw that it was nothing more than paper on what he was standing. Konan raised her arms. "I can't win this battle but I can win this match by throwing you out of the arena!"
The floor opened underneath him and he fell down. The moment he was completely underneath the ground the floor closed again and the paper returned to normal floor again. Konan landed on the ground as the heartbeats flew underneath the raised platform of the arena.
The paper angle let out a sigh as the preparation for this attack with the constant assault made it hard for her to properly use the jutsu and therefore used up huge amount of chakra. As she let out a sigh however something suddenly grabbed her foot.
Konan looked down to see not only a tendril holding her foot but also Kakuzu's eye that peeking through a hole in the ground. It was shaking with rage before Konan got suddenly pulled down into the ground.
-—-
The blonde artist was circling the swamp from the sky in search for shark who suddenly disappeared. Deidara knew that he was probably hiding inside the water but he didn't know how deep the water actually was, so he stayed a high enough distance away from the water.
Knowing Kisame he would probably wait for a perfect moment to strike and jump out of the water. Deidara remained calm as he spotted something move in the swamp. He prepared another hand full of bombs.
"Super water shark bomb!" Kisame suddenly screamed and a massive water shark jumped out of the water and flew directly towards the artist. Deidara simply dropped his bombs in his hand and dispatched of the giant water shark.
What Deidara didn't know was that Kisame used the smoke in the air caused by the explosion to hide the fact that he himself launched himself out of the water and flew directly towards Deidara.
Before the artist could even react at Kisame's surprise attack, his clay bird was already one wing short and fell down to the ground.
Deidara tried to get back on his feet and quickly escaped the swamp but it was to late, the water seemed to have a tight grip oh his feet. Suddenly more water rose from the swamp and turned into a tsunami. Inside the tsunami was Kisame with a grin and the his sword at the ready.
As the tsunami crashed down and covered the arena with water, the shark used the momentum of the wave to plunge his sword directly into Deidara's stomach and knocking him out of the ring.
-—-
Nagato and Hidan were still at the same position since neither of them dared to do a move. "What's wrong Nagato? Were did your cocky attitude go?"
Nagato however just smiled. "You don't even realize that you lost."
With that Nagato dispelled the power of his universal pull, causing Hidan's stake to plunge into his chest. "What the fuck?"
Hidan looked at Nagato who didn't even flinch one bit. The immortal looked down at his feet and realized that Kisame's attack caused the arena to be flooded and in effect washed away the seal of Jashin.
As he lifted his head again to Nagato he only saw the Akatsuki leaders palm directly in his face. "Good bye. Almighty push!"
The force launched Hidan straight across the match and out of bounds. Now team KSDH already lost two of its members.
Nagato watched as Kisame walked over to him with his sword resting on his shoulder. "Seems like we basically won this match eh Nagato?"
"Don't expect that they won't put up a fight. Sasori and Kakuzu are formidable opponents." Nagato reminded the shark who just continued to smile.
"Oh please, Sasori is fighting Itachi. There is no way that he will lose." Kisame said with confidence.
In that moment the big screen showed that Itachi uchiha has lost his fight against Sasori. Both Akatsuki members turned around to see Sasori and Minerva walking towards them and not appearing to fought at all. "You two do realize that you are facing a genius who knows all you tricks."
"Alright Nagato, you were right. But it's two on one and we still have Konan." Kisame reassured.
In that moment a tendril shot out of the ground while it held Konan. This entire time one tendril was pulling her through the ground and has now finally decided to end it by flicking the paper anger out of the arena.
The next moment Kakuzu in his giant tendril monster form crawled out of the ground and was looming over the battlefield while letting out a feral roar. Most of the audience screamed in terror at the sight of this unholy abomination while others were petrified in fear.
Nagato turned to Kisame. "Since you just jinxed everything you get to take care of Kakuzu."
"Oh, I already have a idea." Kisame said as he removed every pice of clothes of his upper body. His sword started to wrap itself around him before thy started to fuse with one another. Now in his shark form he was starting at the giant mass of tendrils.
Kisame waisted no time in this form and immediately charged right at Kakuzu. The tendrils tried to attack and restrain him but the the shark bit and clawed through every attack.
Finally he reached the main body and plunged himself directly into Kakuzu. The giant mass of tendrils stared to roll itself up with Kisame inside to prevent him from escaping. The shark almost swam around inside this see of tendrils but is moments started to slow down as he was restrained by Kakuzu. "How foolish. What did you expect would happen?"
Kisame was flung outside of Kakuzu's body and out of the arena, making Nagato the last man standing. However Kakuzu noticed that something was wrong. He felt extremely week as his tendrils started to die and the body started to loos mass.
Soon the once monstrous beast was nothing more than the original Kakuzu who couldn't even hold his own body together. Knowing he wasn't able to fight in this condition he crawled out of bounds and towards Kisame. "What the hell did you do?"
Kisame opened his shark mouth and out rolled the four extra hearts of Kakuzu on the ground. The shark took them while inside Kakuzu's body which caused Kakuzu on his knees because of this sudden loss of power.
"Well, we didn't even got involved in that. I mean that just happened." Nagato said as he and Sasori prepared for there final battle.
"I have just the thing for you. Just you wait." Sasori said as he pressed a button on his wrist.
-–-
Inside the Akatsuki hideout little Neo stared to slowly get out of bead on her own. Ever since she awoke the Akatsuki gave her a comfortable bead in this cave. They all treated her well, especially Konan who helped her wash and clean herself.
She slowly tried to stand on her feet again but slumped down again into her bead. Suddenly she heard something rumbling before suddenly the ceiling opened and something big shot into the air. A moment after that the ceiling closed again.
Neo decided that she didn't want to know and went back to sleep. What els could she do?
-–-
Back in the stadium a giant Maschine dropped from the sky in from of Sasori. Without hesitation he immediately jumped into it from a hole while Minerva attached herself onto its back.
The machine rose and revealed to be atlesian Paladin, just extremely modified with a menacing black and red collar pattern. It had a long Scorpio tail, two extra set of arms and the original arms seemed to be replaced with flamethrowers. Sasori's voice boomed over a loudspeaker. "This is just the beginning of my great genius! One day we will look back at this war machine and laugh how childish it is compared to my future project of-"
"Sasori! Do the thing!" Hidan called from the sidelines.
You could hear the frustration in Sasori voice. "For the love of everything hole Hidan! We agreed that I built it in not that I use it!"
"No you fucking don't! I won't let you ruin this moment for me Pinocchio! Fucking do it!" Hidan calld back.
Sasori sighed loudly as a little flag popped out of the head of the war machine that depicted nothing more then a hand which was currently showing the bird. Hidan's laughing could be heard across the stadium.
Sasori took a deep breath and continued. "Now that that is out of the way. Nagato! Prepare to feel the power of my mind by being crushed by-"
"That's it! The match is over!"
Everyone looked up to Port and Oobleck completely confused. Oobleck explained. "You see the rules explicitly states that any form of outside help is prohibited. That Maschine came definitely from outside so this match is over. Team NIKK advances!"
The crowd cheered as Sasori and Minerva exited the Maschine and walked up to Nagato. He shrugged with his shoulders and gave Nagato his hand. "Well, seems like the situation wasn't on my side."
"I was actually wandering how I could beat that thing. By the way, isn't this a little risky? General ironwood is in the audience and looking at that Maschine he might be suspicious how you got that." Nagato said slightly worried that the general might want to investigate.
Sasori simply pressed the button on his wrist again which caused the Maschine to shake violently. Only a moment afterwards it just completely exploded. "What Maschine?"
