Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Itachi couldn't really pinpoint exactly on why no one caught the suspicious act of prancing around as girls in the fog but he knew where to find Naruto, the hospital. He continued to go forward as he saw the tall building that he could recognize since he was little. The fog made it blurry but as for something with almost perfect memory, spotting the big medical building was simple. But actually going to the building, Itachi remember something.
'Was Naruto okay or was he still paralyzed?'
If he was, Itachi knew it would be difficult avoiding guards having a young boy on his shoulders. Not to mention how many guards would be around the room, oh and what room was it? Itachi could only get headache thinking about it…
When the three finally arrived, they decided to drop the Genjutsu spell and enter as angry hostiles.
"Kill any ninja that gets in your way. Leave none alive. Remember, they are there to stop you so think of it as self-defense," Itachi advised looking at Hidan who drew out his three-bladed weapon from his back.
"That won't go good with my religion but I'll make a good exception as I'm not in a good mood. I mean I missed my lunch!" he stated as he grabbed his stomach which growled. Kakuzo just sighed as they went to enter the hospital. Itachi felt a flash as the three leaped back.
Two figures stood in the thick fog. They seemed familiar to Itachi as they stepped forward.
"Kisame…" Hidan muttered as the tall fish man lifted his sword, swinging it ever so lightly through the air.
"You've healed?" Itachi questioned while not spotting any wound in Kisame's hands.
"I'm quite lucky. A young lady came up to me after I swore allegiance with Konoha and healed my hands with this strange Ninjutsu," he answered gleefully. He was quite happy to have the ability to kill again. It was his purpose…
"You know, that's strange that your nerves would be severed like that. The possibility is relatively low," Kakuzo mentioned as he crossed his arms.
"Well, that doesn't matter any more, since I've been hired to kill you three!"
Kisame smiled as the fog cleared to show his clothes. He wore the journey man uniform with the green vest and black suit. At least the Hyuuga wore the regular black sleeved shirt and white pants.
"snicker…That uniform…snicker…looks good on you…" Hidan said while trying to hold his laughter back.
"Shall we begin?" Kakuzo insisted while the three lined up.
"Wait! Wait! I get the journey fish dude! I always wanted to know who the better swordsman was!" Hidan stated as he faced Kisame. Itachi dashed and leaped over Manimuri and disappeared in the fog.
"Where is he going!" he pondered as he looked in the direction where Itachi sped off too.
"Always keep your eyes on the enemy!" Kakuzo mocked lunging at the distracted Hyuuga. He lifted up his arms and tried to grab his opponent but Manimuri leaped back before he could.
"It's been a while, Kakuzo. Don't think I've forgotten your techniques of sucking chakra with your hands!" he stated while smiling.
Kisame swung his sword continuously at his opponent who dodged each attack.
"You've gotten slow…" Hidan laughed.
"Actually, I'm hoping to swipe your head off in one blow!"
"How about we get serious!"
Hidan swung his weapon and caught the Samehada between the blades. He smiled at his opponent who was actually smiling back.
Both swords were brought back as both wielders swung again. Hidan caught Kisame's sword again but this time, he spun his sword around making both weapons fly away.
Hidan saw his rope unravel as he quickly gripped it and brought his sword back. Ksame's sword flew into a tree while Hidan swung around making the rope, tied to his sword, swing around Kisame. When the weapon came around, all three blades pierced the fish ninja, making him stop moving. Hidan growled in anger as the dead Kisame bursted into water.
"Damn clone!"
Before he knew it, the Samehada connected to his stomach. The blade was not sharp but the impending force had made Hidan double over it. Kisame lifted the sword along with his opponent and began to spin in circles. When he stopped, the blade shredded the wrapping of the sword as spikes impaled into the flesh of Hidan. He then threw his wounded opponent away with such force making Hidan be hauled away into a tree.
"I hope you like the view, my Buddhist friend!" Kisame mocked as he faced towards the Hyuuga who had just finished knocking Kakuzo to the ground.
"Kakuzo wasn't much of a good fighter when it came to knowledge. He thought that raw power and techniques could defeat someone as intelligent as a Hyuuga," Manimuri stated as he looked at Kisame and his defeated opponent.
"Once you know their tricks, it's easy to finish off any opponent even if they are Atasuki!" the fish man said while looking back at the hospital. "Oh Crap! We forgot about Itachi!"
Both ninjas then began dashing up the wall to the top room.
Meanwhile, Itachi had just finished killing the last ANBU member standing in front of a hospital room. He quietly opened the door and opened it swiftly looking for any other ANBU member but was surprised to see that there wasn't. He entered the room and looked at the bed.
"Huh?"
It was empty and the only thing left was a headband neatly placed on the pillow. It had a slash mark on it marking the owner as a missing nin…
