OOC: Here is part three of the four for the finale. In this part, Hidan and Kakuzu take on the Nibi and the Gobi, plus more!
The Battle
Kakuzu crossed his arms, his eyes watching the giant cat and the giant wolf (OOC: I know it has been shown to be a dolphin horse but screw that) took their final shape. Hidan said, "This'll be fun!" He charged in, only for the earth to shoot up, surprising Hidan and sending him back. The Gobi growled as Kakuzu scoffed and said, "You take the cat, I'll take the wolf." Hidan grunted as he pulled himself out of his crater and readied his scythe. The two bijuu looked at each other and then fired off two giant balls of fire from their mouths. Hidan dodged, while Kakuzu hardened his skin, bracing for the impact, as it sent him skidding back. The smoke slowly died off as the two Akatsuki looked at each other and then looked back to the two bijuu. Kakuzu let out a sigh of annoyance and his back began to twitch, and finally, giant threads burst out, with only a mask of some sort for a face.
Hidan smirked and said, "You two are so screwed."
Back in Konoha
Naruto was alone, as he was letting Sakura get some rest, upon the Hokage Mountain. He stared down at the village, before launching down, landing in the street. He summoned up a blood red cloak, wrapping it around himself and pulling up the hood. He began to walk through the village as night came, just silent and watching. Many of the citizens and shinobi watched him, curious. He continued to move through the village as people went to sleep. He came to the gates, and turned around, facing his home village and looked up to the Hokage Mountain. He sighed and said, "Father, help me, I do not know what to do…." The wind caught up and when he opened his eyes, he was in a grassy field, he blinked. That is when the voice he longed to hear spoke up, "Welcome, my son."
Naruto turned quickly, and before him was Namikaze Minato, his father. Naruto stared and said, "…Father." Minato nodded and said, "I assume you have a lot of questions for me." Naruto nodded and said, "Why me?" Minato sighed and said, "Because, I thought you would be a hero, someone the village would love…but I was wrong." Naruto sighed and said, "Father…what of the bloodline." Minato smirked and said, "To get that answer, you'll have to fight me." Naruto's eyes widened and then he smirked and shifted into a stance and said, "Alright, dad." Minato chuckled and reached for his shuriken pouch, and that is when the battle began.
Back with Shizaru and Yugito
Yugito was on the ground injured by now, as Hidan and Kakuzu were going all out to bring the two down. Shizaru growled, unleashing a combination blast of water and lightning, hitting one of the mask beasts Kakuzu had, destroying it. Kakuzu then combined his wind and fire mask to unleash a powerful blast of fire at Shizaru. Elements flew around as Hidan readied his scythe, about to strike, until all five tails of the Gobi began to become the elements. Kakuzu stopped, eyes widening for the first time. Shizaru then unleashed a massive attack of all the elements at once, at both of them. When the attacks hit, the elements exploded out, destroying the ruins. As the dust cleared up, Shizaru was back to human form, picking up Yugito.
That is when he heard and sensed the movement of a figure. He turned to see Kakuzu launching out with a combined mask. Shizaru quickly darted forward, as Kakuzu chased him. Shizaru cursed as he barely dodged a blast of lightning. But he heard Kakuzu speak, "Atsugai." Shizaru cursed, and then he saw black, as the jutsu tore into him, sending him and Yugito crashing. Kakuzu approached the two bodies and said, "Too easy." With that, he picked up the bodies as his mask monsters entered his body again. He came to where Shizaru unleashed the elemental blast. Hidan was praying, having dodged the attack and allowed Kakuzu to finish off Shizaru. Kakuzu threw the body of Shizaru towards Hidan. Hidan slung it over his shoulders, and stood.
The two walked out, side by side, as they headed off to seal the Nibi and the Gobi.
Kakuzu looked to the sky, having felt an eerie feeling. He shook it off and kept walking.
Naruto versus Minato
Naruto cursed as Minato hit him hard, sending him crashing into a rock. As dust cleared, Naruto stood up from the impact. He growled and said, "Enough messing around." He formed hand seals and said, "Katon: Kitsune Gouka Arashi!" Minato cursed as a quick and powerful wave of purple fire hit him. Naruto burst forward as the jutsu finished off, and struck at his father, only to be matched in Taijutsu. The two kept trying to hit each other, only to stop the other's attack. Naruto decided to try a style he made himself and flipped their bodies, locked with each other, and slammed Minato into the ground. Leaping out of the tiny crater he made, Naruto shifted into a stance as Minato brushed himself off.
Minato's eyes began to glow of a brighter blue, and formed quick hand seals, "Suiton: Suirydan Se!" Naruto cursed as from a nearby lake, four dragons burst up, and shot at Naruto. Naruto had to think fast. The dragons were about to slam into him when he said, "Onijutsu: Kitsune Gouka Kobushi!" and slammed a fiery fist into the dragons, which had tried to slam as one. Steam rose from the two attacks meeting. To say Minato was impressed was an understatement, as his son had come a long way. Naruto stood there as the steam disappeared.
Naruto then let out a sigh as he raised a hand and pointed the palm at Minato. He said, "This jutsu is one Kyuubi taught me. I vowed only to use it in the dire circumstances. I am proud, in a way, to be able to use it on you." He smiled at his father, who nodded and smiled back, lowering his guard.
Minato said, "Then use it, my son. I am very proud of how you've grown." Naruto smiled and that is when fire, wind, and water began to gather at the middle of the palm, in a sphere form. Minato nodded, ready for it.
Naruto announced, "Onijutsu: Soshi Kurie-Shon Bakufuu!" With that, the sphere became a giant blast, almost twice the size of the Kyuubi Chakra Bakufuu, and shot at Minato, destroying the area in its path. The jutsu slammed into Minato with no resistance, 'killing' Minato. As the large amount of dust cleared, Minato appeared before Naruto, healed. He said, "Now you have earned the knowledge." He motioned for his son to come follow him.
The two found tree stumps to sit on. Minato said, "Ame no Nakigoe (Cry of the Rain) is a bloodline that is very unique, and very complex." He took a deep breath and continued, "Ame no Nakigoe allows you to control Suiton beyond any imagination. The jutsus you learn of Suiton would be twice as powerful as their original state." Naruto said, "I found that out early on." Minato nodded and continued, "It has three other aspects to it. The next is the ability to have two other elements to your elemental chakra list. I have seen you use Katon, Suiton, and Fuuton." Naruto nodded and let Minato continue, which he did.
"The third aspect to it is the ability to see movement underneath or on bodies of water, which comes in handy if you were blinded or in a mist." Naruto nodded and said, "So in the Kirigakure no Jutsu, I could activate that part of it, and I'd be able to attack fine?" Minato nodded and said, "Yes, but if they were to say, get on land, and use a water based attack, there's a good chance you'd be hit." Naruto nodded and then said, "What is the final part to the Ame no Nakigoe?" Minato let out a sigh, "Tsunami no Chuusin (Heart of the Tidal Wave). The final part is actually a series of jutsus which chain together to become the Tsunami no Chuusin. It is our Ultimate Defense and Offense."
Naruto nodded and said, "So it is only on last resorts that I would use it." Minato nodded. There was then a disturbance in the wind, as both could feel it. Naruto stiffened and said, "Oh no." Minato looked at Naruto, curiously.
"I have to go." And with that, Naruto awoke, to find himself outside of Konohagakure. He sniffed the air and darted off further away from his village. He closed up the cloak, keeping the hood up. He murmured something as he kept running. He saw two figures ahead, and stopped, leaping into the trees and following them, by trees. He stopped as they stopped, as one of them looked around. He noticed two bodies, one on one of the figure's shoulder, and the other on the other figure's shoulder. Naruto's eyes narrowed. He watched as the two walked on.
Summoning a black fox, perfect for the night, he spoke, "Go awaken Sakura and Kakashi, tell them to gather a team, including Shikamaru, Chouji, and Ino, and meet me at the Fire Temple." The fox darted off. Naruto darted off further, to catch up. He came to a stop when he couldn't pick up a trail anymore, or see the men.
His senses kicked in when he heard a foot step. He turned, only to have a rock hard fist slam into him, sending him downwards.
Standing over him was the same man that Kyuubi spoke to, the Shichibi Hanyou. Naruto groaned and looked up, growling. The man smiled and said, "So we meet, Uzumaki Naruto."
Naruto said, "How do you know me?"
The man answered, "Akumu told me all about you, and I know the Kyuubi…very well." He smirked. Naruto stood up and said, "What do you want?"
The man said, "Your help. But I will help you first, as long as you are willing to listen and give your help."
Naruto asked, "With what?"
The man smiled and said, "Destroying the Great Five Villages."
