Chapter 24: Amatsu-mari

Two gaurds were posted outside the front of the capital building. They had swords at their hips and black flak vests, bearing the Lightning Country insignia. The first was trying his best to keep awake while the other was counting the stars.

"Hey Kenji," the first asked, 'when's our shift done?" Kenji looked at his watch."

"2 more hours Hiruma-san." Hiruma sighed.

"Why is it that you and I get stuck with the late night shift all the time?"

"Beats me," Kenji replied, "most likely because we do nothing else all day." Hiruma shrugged and focused his gaze on a blinking 'OPEN' sign at a hotel. Neither of them noticed the silver haired shinobi steal the front door key and slip inside.

"Scarecrow in." Kakashi spoke into his earpiece.

"Blossom in."

"Snake in."

"Fox in." The four nins spoke from each point in the building. Each took separate wings.

"Right," Kakashi began, "Blossom, 3doors down on your right is the war. Start there. Snake, go all the way down and turn right. Inside the 2nd room you will find the record area. Fox, go left, then 7 doors up. On your left will be the ANBU room. Everyone good?"

"Hai!" They said together. Kakashi melted into the shadows and masked his chakra on his way to the throne room. He halted as two gaurds walked by. He continued forward, and looked through the doors as they were slightly parted. The face he saw made his eye grow wide.

Sakura slipped inside the dark room. She kept close to the walls so that she didn't knock anything over. The moonlight illuminated the room, allowing some light to help her walk around the room. She made her way through the file folders that lined the north walls. They were all dated, some labeled red, others labeled black. She noticed the most recent was labeled red. She pulled the file and gasped at what she read.

Sasuke made his way into the record room. The file cabinets were lined and labeled in order by number. He activated his sharingan and made his way through each cabinet looking for anything that could pass for relavent information. He came across a file containing profiles of previous heads. He pulled open the drawer. All of the names were in date order and from what time to what time they ruled. Some names were marked with stars, meaning that they those died while in rule. One of them had two stars next to them. He pulled the file and read, his sharingan helping him skim through. The daimyo's name was Tenshi, and his record showed that his rule was ruthless and caused the great Lightning Country famine. At the terms for cause of death, his eyes widened when he read Kakashi's name.

Naruto used a silent jutsu to open the lock on the ANBU room door. He slid in and noticed each department; tactical squad, hunter nin quarters, even ROOT was here. He walked furthur and noticed a tactical wall. The wall was covered with pictures and information on criminals and missing nins. Naruto was shocked to see that Kakashi was written all over the wall.

Yusuke-sama Kakashi thought as he watched his old mentor discussing matters with an advisor. He focused chakra into his ears and listened in.

"My lord, we have had no success at capturing the Copy Ninja, but we have seen him in the area." The advisor spoke.

"Hatake Kakashi," he said slowly, "it's been a long time since I've seen him. Surely he thought I was dead. However, it was good that he knew not of the plot."

"Sir," the advisor asked, "Who was it that requested the assassination?"

"Why me of course." Kakashi's eye widened. "Raikage was the highest rank in the village no doubt, but it was the country that I wanted. Luckily his police force was made of my ANBU." Kakashi remembered back to that day. That's why the police force knew ninjustu! He mentally slapped himself for not seeing that earlier. "Ah, he was such a good man." Yusuke said. "I wish I could see him one more time." He put his hand to his chin. "Then again, maybe I can! Come on out from behind that door Kakashi." Kakashi's blood ran cold.

"Code red. Evac. Evac now!" Kakashi hissed into his microphone.

Sakura turned to leave. Once she reached the door she was ambushed by 5 nins. Sasuke and Naruto turned separate corners to meet up with Sakura. They were surrounded. All of the nins performed the same seals. Lightning formed in the palm of their hands, ready to be shot out. Sasuke had his sharingan ablaze, and Naruto had unlocked one Kyuubi tail. Sakura charged the chakra in her fists and held two kunai ready.

Kakashi stood up and walked into the room. Yusuke stood up and smiled. "Welcome my friend welcome!"

"I am no friend of yours." Kakashi said calmly. Yusuke's face fell

"Now come on Kakashi don't tell me you're still angry?" Kakashi looked up at him through his one eye.

"You faked your own death and had me kill the daimyo so that you could take his place. Now you have a bounty on my head that has killed me once and almost killed my team."

"That was out of my hands Kakashi," Yusuke began, "you must understand that you killed a feudal lord! I had to bring justice somehow."

"Well, this mission was mainly for information gathering. I'm sure that we have all that we need."

"Not so fast Kakashi." Yusuke said raising a hand, "If you look on my monitors, your team is in quite a bit of trouble." Kakashi looked to left where an array of tv's were set up each showing a different angle of Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto surrounded by cloud nins. He grit his teeth. He closed his eye and bowed his head. I didn't want to but I must. He lifted his hita-ate.

"You taught me to keep my blindside covered." Yusuke watched curiously. "You should see how well my sharingan has grown." He opened his left eye and looked straight at his old mentor. "I can not be held responsible for killing you now. You have attempted to take my life far too many times now." Yusuke scowled and performed lightning fast seals, which Kakashi copied with little effort. They shot lightning bolts at each other. "You are the Raikage for a reason. What is your hidden ace jutsu?" Yusuke smirked.

"You called out the thunder," he took off his robe, "now prepare to reap the whirlwind." Lightning erupted from his body in long strands and binded around the Copy Nin. He was lifted off the ground and trying his hardest not to give in to the bindings but they were too much. "What? A little electricity too much for you?" bolts charged through the bindings shocking Kakashi. He screamed in pain and tried harder to release himself. Dammit Kakashi!

"Sasuke," Naruto started, "Remember your promise." The team was in for it. There were easily 200 nins already prepared to strike. One false move, and they would be fried. Sakura was thinking frantically on what to do. Dammit there has to be a way out of this! Naruto looked around. Should I call on Kyuubi four tails? That would wipe them out easily, but Sasuke and Sakura could be killed in the process. And there's the chance that I won't turn back. Sasuke looked left then right. It suddenly hit him. Itachi! He called for his sleeping brother.

Finally you allow me to wake. The Uchiha entity said impassively.

I'd just like to say goodbye, and I've won. Itachi raised an eyebrow.

How? Sasuke smirked.

Watch me grow more powerful than you ever have. He used his sharingan telepathy. Sakura can you hear me? The pink haired girl nodded. When I tell you to, grab Naruto and teleport out of here. She turned her head to face him.

What will you do?

Save my team.

No Sasuke!

Just Do It!! She closed her eyes and nodded.

Sasuke pulled the box from his shirt. "Naruto." He said. The blonde turned his head to face his friend. Sasuke tossed the box to him Naruto fumbled around but caught it.

"Sasuke?" The Uchiha closed his eyes. Let's do it.

"GAHH!" Kakashi screamed as more lightning shot through his body. Yusuke laughed demonically.

"You can't win Kakashi. You always forget to cover your blind side." Kakashi looked down at his old mentor turned evil. His sharingan was spinning out of control. He focused all his chakra into his eye. Yusuke stared in fear.

"Goodbye Yusuke-sama." The Mangekyo Sharingan formed. "Amaterasu!" Black flames erupted from his eyes, engulfing the Raikage and his helpless advisor. Kakashi let the flames pour from his eye. The bindings were gone, and he staggered to keep upright. Suddenly he heard a conversation between Sakura and Sasuke in his mind. His eye widened. Sasuke…

"Sorry, but I won't make it to your wedding." Naruto's eyes widened. "Now Sakura!" The medic nin grabbed onto Naruto and poofed away. The cloud nin shot lightning towards Sasuke, but a barrier of chakra stood in their way. Formed a rasengan then a lighter form of chidori in his left hand. He was able to merge the two together, as a white light erupted from his palm. He started to change into his cursed seal form. "Welcome to my nightmare!" He screamed. "AMATSU-MARI!"

All sounds were nullified. The white light grew larger and larger. Sasuke's beast form was giving an evil smile to all the cloud nins who were so unfortunate as to be there attacking him. The light engulfed around them all. Goodbye guys… Sasuke thought as he closed his sharingan blazed eyes.

An explosion occurred that too out the entire building. A wave spread throughout the city shaking the ground. The capital building crumbled along with all in it.

Sakura, Naruto, and Kakashi emerged at the cottage. Naruto looked to explosion site.

"SASUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed, tears flowing from his eyes. He dropped to his knees and put his head in his hands sobbing uncontrollably. Sakura started to cry too. Kakashi closed his eyes and bowed his head. GOD DAMMIT! He said to himself. He fought his eyes to keep from crying. Naruto's shot up into the sky and he let out a scream that could be heard all around the planet. Suddenly, Kyuubi chakra erupted from all around him. Two tails emerged and the Kyuubi rage took over his body. Kakashi quickly reached into his pack for the suppressor tag. Chakra started to gather in Naruto's mouth and his eyes turned totally red. Not even his pupils were visible. The chakra shot into the sky and into space. Kakashi ran forward and slapped the tag on his head. Slowly, Kyuubi went back inside his body and Naruto collapsed, tears still pouring from his eyes. They all huddled and sobbed into each other's shoulders. Kakashi let only a single tears fall for his fallen comrade.

5 years ago he was my student. He was the toughest of the group, but the most secluded. Then he betrayed the village but came back. The moment that we reunited, he gave his life for the better of the team…He was just like Obito…..just like Obito……

Kakashi stood up and wiped his single tear away. "Let's go." Sakura and Naruto used each other's bodies to stand up. They walked slowly behind their leader back to Konoha. Back home. Without their 4th team member, however, home didn't seem so inviting.
