Together Chapter 16
Akatsuki's Plan takes flight:
Moroiko the forest child of Akatsuki
Jiraiya, Shino, Kiba with Akamaru, and Hinata all rushed towards the Hidden Village in the clouds. They barely rested as they moved closer to the village; all the while Hinata was praying that Naruto was okay. At that moment Naruto was having a small disagreement with a man-eating plant. It was a cross between a tiger lily and a Venus fly trap twice the size of Choji. Suddenly, as he jumped back, Moroiko touched a tree behind her and the tree behind Naruto wrapped its branches around him. The man-eating plant lily stopped just short of Naruto's nose. He looked beyond the plant at the woman who had a blank face.
"So now what?" he growled, trying to break free of the tree limbs.
"Wait until the others are dead then we will take the kyuubi."
"Dead?!" said Naruto panic rushing through him as he heard another explosion.
"Yes, they are in the way so we must get rid of them. Especially little Sasuke Uchiha."
"Choji, Shikamaru….." thought Naruto desperately. If he could only break through the vines he could move fast enough to help Choji.
"Hey kid…"
"Now is not the time you rotten…"
"Just SHUT UP!" Naruto glared at the Akatsuki member as the kyuubi talked to him. Moroiko eyes narrowed, wondering what the young demon vessel was thinking.
"Look kid, she's like some one that I saw many many years ago. She can commutate with plants a rare gift."
"And your point is?"
"Hey you wanna save your friends and our necks or not? The only real way is using fire justus to break the commutation with the plants. She has to be touching them to be able to get them to do anything! Seeing how's there is little to no grass in this mountain region, we might be able to get away long enough to help your chubby friend."
"1st off, Choji isn't chubby just big boned. 2nd, Sasuke is the fire jutsu expert not me."
"Hey, he's not the only one!"
"NO way!"
"Come on kid, you got a better idea?"
Naruto looked at the girl, his mind coming to a decision.
"So, how did a nice girl like you become a member of Akatsuki?"
She folded her arms then said,
"Well, seeing has we have time I guess I could tell you."
"Crap! Crap! Crap!" was all Choji could think as he tried to move out of Deidara's line of fire.
"Man, I am not good at strategy, where's Shikamaru when I need him?"
Battling a guy with an ant problem.
Shikamaru was watching intently as Masuyo kept attacking him.
"He isn't like Shino in the fact he is a weak one-on-one…Shino's got one up on him…if I can just use my shadow sewing on him…."
Shikamaru smirked as Masuyo went towards him, kunai raised. Shikamaru already knew what he was going to do and dodged, a plan forming…
Kakashi glared at the Akatsuki member. There was something familiar about this guy but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Tobi charged forward and did a fire justu which Kakashi easily dodged. But just as he turned, Tobi was right there, throwing a punch. Kakashi barely got his guard up in time.
"Why are you called "Forest child?"
"A nickname given to me to my now dead father." She said with a bitter smile.
"For I was always in the forest around our village and at a young age I could already talk to plants."
"Dead?" glared Naruto.
"Yes, my father died in the ninja wars. My mother in her grief died. I was left alone with no one but my sensei. But I didn't wish to fight but due to the loses during the wars I was made to."
"Just because you can talk to plants?"
"Talking to plants is a very rare gift dear Naruto. I was made to fight for my village when I did not wish to because it gave my village an edge."
"Then why the heck are you fighting now if you hate fighting so much." Spat Naruto.
"Because even a flower knows when it must fight to protect itself. I wish to gain the power I need to protect myself from those who wish to take me back instead of letting me be to tend to my plants."
"Wait so let me get this straight the reason you are doing this is just so you can get the trackers from your village to leave you alone?" Naruto raised his eyebrows at her. She smiled, pulled her hair back from her face then suddenly appeared nose to nose with him, her finger stroking his cheek gently.
"Not the whole reason but part of it." She said quietly looking at Naruto in a way that just plan freaked him out.
"You know, for one so young you are extremely handsome. Of course it's in your genes. I've always had a thing for younger men. There is just something about them…"
"Well sorry to disappoint you but I'm already taken." Growled Naruto.
Moroiko smirked and turned her back on him.
"Too bad. I was going to make you an offer to join us so you could live but obviously you won't due to that little fact so…hope that girl didn't love you too much." Moroiko suddenly turned and her eyes got wide.
Naruto's eyes were no longer blue but red.
Kyuubi Naruto chuckled.
"What not scared of little old me are you?" Moroiko quickly ordered her plant to attack but it was already too late. Kyuubi Naruto burned the branches that were holding him and with a fierily kunai totally destroyed Moroiko's plant.
Yamato and Zetsu were evenly matched. Both were able to counter each other's attacks with ease. Yamato glared at the Akatsuki member as he tried to figure out what to do next as Zetsu made another try at him. ((Sorry, not gonna spend much time with this fight…not enough info with Zetsu and stuff))
Kakashi and Tobi jumped back and glared/panted at each other.
"Well, what do ya know; you've become so much stronger since we last meet." Tobi said shaking his head.
"Say what?" asked Kakashi.
"You really haven't figured it out yet?" he said in a soft voice.
Before Kakashi could say anything, Tobi charged forward doing a fireball jutsu as he did; Kakashi jumped out of the way doing the same one to counter. Suddenly, Tobi did something unbelievable; he did some hands signs then his hand started to glow….
"Chidori!? No way…!" Kakashi quickly did lighting blade and was able to counter Tobi's chidori, his mask getting half torn in the process.
"How do you know how to do it?" glared Kakashi.
Tobi looked at him and said,
"I saw you do it once." He said simply, his voice becoming grimmer.
"When and how can you copy my….only if you….?" asked Kakashi harshly slowly coming to an impossible conclusion.
"Slowly understanding old friend?" he said in a very quiet voice. He slowly pulled his mask back, Kakashi's visible eye widening….
Kyuubi Naruto ignited what little dry vegetation that was around, making Moroiko scream out in pain for she could feel the plants' pain as well. She was still able to pull out a kunai, attach a paper bomb to it and throw it at him so she could move away from the flames. A vine suddenly came out of her side bag and wrapped around her waist and across her chest and back, a purple lily blooming from it, a cloud of pollen surrounding her. She was breathing hard, inhaling the pollen which slowly was healing some of her burn marks. Her cloud coat was scorched in several spots reviling under it she was wearing a deep purple one piece dress, a green scarf wrapped around her waist as a belt, and a bag of various weapons also around her waist. She glared at Naruto and said,
"So it's you Kyuubi, the nine-tailed fox demon…" she smiled. She pulled out a speical seal on a piece of parchment paper and went to attack him but then, a smoke bomb came out of no where and a dozen kunai; one slicing the seal. Moroiko eyes went wide and when she landed she looked around to see Naruto glaring at her, his eyes blue again.
"But the kyuubi took over…."
"I control the kyuubi, the kyuubi doesn't control me." Growled Naruto at her.
Suddenly, Shikamaru turned to see a clone of Masuyo trying to attack him; he dodged and threw a kunai in time to meet a sea of red ants. He took this opportunity to try his newest jutsu….
"Shadow teleport jutsu!"
In an instant, the shadows that the clone and ants had helped him escape right behind them and out of harm's way, but just then, the real Masuyo jumped behind him and bond him.
"Aren't you lucky? The last thing you'll feel is the sting of a thousand red ants." Shikamaru just smirked.
"Oh you think so?"
Masuyo suddenly found he could not move. Shikamaru had used the kunai and the nearby cliff to cast his shadow jutsu trapping him. This time though Masuyo smiled.
"Yes I do." Shikamaru looked in horror as the red ants started to move again. No matter what Shikamaru did, he was in trouble. If he moved to get away from the ants, Masuyo would attack him. If he didn't the ants would get him.
"Damn!" thought Shikamaru as the ants came charge at him in a tide wave of sorts.
Deidara smirked as Choji had his back to the side of the mountain glaring at him.
"Well, I guess this is the end off you." He smirked. But when he did, Choji smirked back.
"Not yet it is." Suddenly Choji enhanced his arms and pounded the side of the mountain with all his might. Deidara eyes went wide as he try to use his exploding clay to stop from getting hit cursing as Choji easily jumped out of the way.
When the two faced each other again, it was obvious who was hurt worse. Choji had a smug look on his face as Deidara glared at the larger ninja.
"Hmmm, not bad kid but not good enough." Choji looked around and saw that he was surrounded by a large amount of mini clay bird bombs. Choji eyes narrowed and said,
"If you let those go off, we'll both be done for!"
"Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how good we are." He smirked raising his hand.
Sakura and Ino kept moving and jumping. It was all that they could do so not to be hit with Kisame's big sword.
"Whatever you do Ino don't let his sword touch you!"
"I think that's a given Sakura!"
"No, listen, that thing can steal your charka among other things so don't…!"
The jumped out the tree they were in just in time to land and watch it fall in several pieces, taking chucks out of the mountain as well.
"Come on little girls; this is no fun, if you kept playing this I might just have to kill you right now!"
"Ino, use you mind transfer jutsu."
"What on him?! NO way!"
"No not on him on me!"
Ino's blue eyes went wide and doubtful at her pink haired friend.
"Are you out of your mind?!"
"Listen, when it comes to strength, we're just no match! It took everything Guy, TenTen, Lee, and Neji had to defeat a clone of his! He's rash and just uses his power to defeat his enemies! Therefore, we need to use our powers of strategy to beat him!"
"If you say so, so how is using my mind transfer jutsu going to help us?"
"If you can take him over for just a second, we can…" But before they could do anything, Kisame summoned a large amount of water and the two had to move again. Then suddenly Kisame jumped in front of Sakura.
"Too bad that you can't try it." He smiled bring his sword down.
"SAKURA!"
The ninja summoned all her charka and pounded the ground with all her might. It got Kisame to back off but because of all the water it wasn't as strong as usual.
"Not bad but not as good as it could have been."
Sakura and Ino looked at each other. They were out of ideas and had no real way of fighting him they were in deep trouble. Then Kisame raised his sword again,
"Well, it's been fun but your time is up."
Sasuke and Itachi fought each other faces emotionless, not speaking a word as the two clashed. Both were using their sharigan and neither giving an inch to the other. Though to Sasuke's satisfaction, his vision was going and he was slower to react to some of his moves.
"It seems that your ultimate sharigan eye has cost you your precious sight brother."
"And the fact you don't hate me enough little brother will cost you your precious friends." He said right back.
Shikamaru braced himself waiting for the blow but it never came. He looked to a sight that he never thought he'd be grateful for.
"You know what annoys me? Guys like you who think there bugs can out do mine." Shikamaru smirked as Shino's bugs were over coming his red ants.
Sakura and Ino jumped and were ready to take whatever Kisame was going to pull when suddenly…
Kisame went to swing down his sword but couldn't he turn and to the girl's relief, a toad had its tongue attached to the sword. Jiraiya was sitting on the toad with a smug smile on his face.
Naruto and Moroiko glared down at each other. She made a swipe at him again and he dogded. Moroiko bit her finger and summoned another large plant that was a tiger lily that wrapped its petals and roots around him.
"Well Naruto…." She smiled.
"Looks like your all mine…." Just then a kunai whistled past her face. She looked to were it landed and Naruto chuckled and looked to see a wonderful sight.
"Looks like your dead." He smirked. Moroiko turned to see Hinata, glaring at her with her Byakugan.
"I'd look again if I were you." Said Hinata glaring at the Akatsuki member.
"You look surprised Kakashi….though I don't blame you."
Kakashi shook his head. It couldn't be. He was lost for words. Standing in front of him was the last person he would have thought of. Right in front of him was Obito Uchiha. His old friend and team mate alive and fighting.
