Episode 58: Preparation
Kenpachi and the rest of Squad Eleven- aside from Akagi- were helping prepare for the Kage Summit; reinforcing tables, chairs and buildings incase a fight broke out, building a hang over for Kage's followers, and things like that. Tatsuzo's former squad was bringing more chairs in.
Machiko was taking charge, telling people what to do, and where to put stuff.
"Why isn't Lord Kinkage telling us what to do?" Ikkaku asked her.
"He told me to take charge while he was making some preparations with peace treaties, and trying to figure out what everyone would do/say and coming up with a counter for it."
"Shut up and do your work, Ikkaku." Kenpachi ordered.
"Okay, Zaraki-sensei."
Just then, Akagi walked in. "Hey guys. Sorry I was late. I just needed to take care of an ANBU mission."
"Good to see you." Machiko said. "Can you go to each civilian residence and tell them to stay inside while the Summit takes place"
She nodded, and walked off.
The Akatsuki were all standing in a circle in a dark room.
"The Steel has become quite the problem." Said White Zetsu. "The demon Kenpachi took out Pain with only a little girl with him. he even took out the Outer Path, Nagato."
"Let me fight him!" Said a man with blue hair wearing white. "I'll beat the hell out him like nothing!"
"No. Straight forward combat will not work on him. But, a certain Takdesu is going to try to make Kenpachi an asset to the Akatsuki" Said the masked man.
"I'd love to go head to head against that guy!" Kisame grinned. "He'd put up much of a fight... and Sharkskin would enjoy his chakra, as well."
"I do not agree with him joining the Akatsuki." Said Konan. "His Jutsu will not work on that man forever. Zaraki is, by all means, a demon. Even if the jutsu does work on him to begin with it... his body will fight it off, and then he'll come for us. And when he does... he'll come for blood."
"Ah, Konan. I have a special job for you."
"Hmm? What's that?"
"I want Nagato's eyes. Give them to me."
"I will not let you disrespect Nago like that."
"I thought you would say something like that. Harribel. Kisame."
The two made some hand signs. Konan started to fly away.
"I'm sorry, Konan." Harribel whispered and she was suddenly behind the paper woman. "Water Style: Torrent Wave." Water suddenly shot from Harribel's hand, straight at Konan. The girl fell to the ground, unable to use her powers while she was soaked.
Konan mumbled a curse word about Harribel.
The masked man walked over, and lifted her by her hair. "Gave me his eyes. Now." He held his head in such a way that made his Sharingan visible.
Konan responded by spitting on his mask, to which the Uchiha's eyes widened. All of the other Akatsuki teleported away, aside from Madara and Konan. The spit- wasn't normal spit. it was a tiny bit of paper. With an explosive on it. And it blew up right in Madara's face.
When the smoke cleared, Madara's mask was broken, showing the right side of his face, nose and up. His arm arm was blown off, and Konan was bleeding pretty badly from her chest and arms.
"That was surprising. But not fast enough. I was able to Kamui most of the explosion to save myself- though it saved you, as well. Tell me where Nagato's body is. And this will be less painful for you."
"Screw... you..." Madara was suddenly right in front of Konan, and punched her hard in the stomach. She exploded on contact.
After setting everything up, a man walked up to Ikkaku, holding Hozukimaru. "We fixed your broken Bankai... but your Bankai never be as strong as it because it got broken. Your Shikai and sealed form will be just as powerful as they were before, though."
Ikkaku nodded, and took the blade. He leaned it against his shoulder. "I was getting sick of fighting with my fists again. Hozukimaru is much better."
The man nodded to Ikkaku, and walked away.
Yumichika and Ikkaku walked away.
Zetsu was standing next to Madara, who was lying on the ground. His left leg had been ripped off from his knee. There was blood all over his chest, and he was lying in a pool off blood. His mask had cracks all over it, but it was only broken in the place it was broken in the first place.
Konan was lying on the ground across from Madara, with more blood all over her. There was gashes up her arms and legs, and her left arm was battered, it it only hung to her shoulder by a thread. She too, was lying in a pool of blood.
"Wow, are you okay, Madara?" Asked White Zetsu in a sarcastic tone.
"Shut up, Zetsu. Make sure Konan is dead."
Kisame stepped forwards, and slashed down across Konan's chest.
"Yeah, she's dead. Sharkskin only absorbed a little bit of chakra." Kisame swung his sword onto his shoulder.
"Good." He looked up at Zetsu. "Find Nagato's body."
"Fine." Growled Black Zetsu.
"Harribel you look too."
"Yes, Lord Uchiha." She teleported away.
"Damn." Madara said.
The Kinkage walked into the building where Machiko was having everyone set things up. "Good, good. Kenpachi, I want the rest of your squad to be up on the hang over, so they can make sure everyone behaves."
"Yes, sir. I'll go looking for them."
"Kankuro, you're late." Said a young woman with blond hair. She had a black fan at her back, and she was wearing a purple and grey undershirt, with a green over-shirt.
"Sorry, assembling my new puppets took longer than I thought." Said a young man wearing all black, and he had purple face paint. He had several scrolls at his back.
"Lord Kankuro. Lord Temari. We're counting on you." Said an elderly Sand Shinobi.
"Yeah. We know." Responded Temari.
"But Gaara doesn't really need bodyguards." Replied Kankuro. "Why are we going?"
"Come on." Said Gaara. He had green eyes, with large black bags under them. He was wearing red, and he had a gourd on his back with an ancient language written on it. "It's time to go."
"Among the Kage, Gaara's going to be the youngest one. It's our duty to make sure the other Kage don't take him lightly." Temari stated.
"A Six Kage Summit... I can't help but wonder... what all the other Kage are like." Kankuro commented.
"Kurostuchi! Akatsuchi! Good luck!" Shouted a Cloud Ninja.
"Tsuchikage! Go teach the other Village Leaders a thing, or two!" Shouted another ninja.
A small old man groaned. "Going to Summits at my age is such a chore..." He had no hair on the top of his head, but the sides and the back of his head had grey hair, and he had a grey beard. He was wearing a red cloak with golden lines, and he had brown sleeves. He had a rather shaped nose. "The other leaders are clowning around with no regard for my discomfort. They forget about my bad back..."
Accompanying him was a young woman, and a rather large guy. Both of them were wearing brown flak jackets, with fewer pockets than the Leaf Ninja's, and they had red sleeves. The girl had black hair, and black eyes, she had a smug smile on her face. The guy on the other hand brown hair, and he had black eyes as well. He had a yellow scarf around his neck, and he had his headband like a bandana.
All of them had brown boxes at their backs.
"Well, gramps... Why don't you just retire then?" Asked the girl. Her smile broadened. "Why bother try to drag out the glory?"
The big guy laughed. "Let me carry that pack for ya!" He said energetically- but not quite as energetic as Guy. "Okay, Lord Tsuchi?"
"Hands off, Akatsuchi! I can get it!" He growled. He then started to walk forwards. "It's nothing, see?" After his first step, there was a loud crack. He groaned, and fell backwards.
"That's what you get for being so stubborn, old man." Mumbled the girl.
"Very well. You may carry your own pack if you want to." The big guy lifted the Tsuchikage up, and set him down on his own pack. He handed him his hat.
A young woman in blue, with green eyes and unkempt red hair, put on the Mizukage hat.
Along with her was a young boy wearing glasses, and he had a strange blade at his back, and he had black eyes and light blue hair. The other person was a man in a green kimono, with golden boarders. He had a slightly darker shade of blue hair, and he had a black eye patch.
"Chojiro, you're of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist. Protect Lady Mizukage well." Said one of the people that were bidding them farewell.
"The three of us will be just fine. At least... I hope."
After a little while of arguing they started heading out.
The Raikage got his followers, and then he leapt through a glass window.
"Not again..." Said one of the Raikage's people.
"Sorry about that..." Said one of the followers. His followers quickly followed after the Raikage, taking off through the already broken window.
Notes: As some of you may know, I'm a high school student. And school's coming up rather quickly. So production may decrease. It's not a hundred percent, I might have enough time, but it's just a heads up so you know.
At the end there, I started running out of time, so I cut part of the Mizukage's screen time, along with the Raikage's screen time.
Also, I ran out of filler ideas, so after this episode the Kage Summit is starting. I mean... I'd rather start the arc rather than have bad filler (cough cough- the anime). Sorry if you were enjoying the filler arc. Anyway, please follow and favorite if you haven't done that yet and one can never have too many reviews.
