Thanks for the reviews everyone. I can't believe I have 99 so far :) Here's chapter 13
Sakura was almost near the border and she stopped when she saw the beast being retained by a group of shinobi. She was about to go help them but she spotted Kakashi coming towards her.
"Are you alright Kakashi-sensei?" She asked once she reached him.
"Sakura, it's a good thing I bumped into you. I need you to heal me." Sakura nodded and green chakra emitted from her palm and she started to heal him.
"That should do it." Sakura got up and put her gloves back on.
"Yeah, thanks Sakura." He stood up and placed his hand on Sakura's head.
"Where are you going?"
"There's something I must do. Take care of those two Sakura. Someone needs to keep them in control." He smiled and headed off.
Meanwhile Madara was fighting against Sasuke.
"Damn that brat! When did his Susano become so strong?" Madara thought as he barely dodged another attack.
"You're probably thinking how I'm controlling Susano so well without Itachi's eyes. You don't need someone else's body or eyes to get stronger Madara." Sasuke spoke.
"But your one won't be as strong as the real deal." Madara activated his Sunano as well.
"Real?" Sasuke chuckled. "There's nothing real about that power of yours. It's something that you stole from my brother!" Sasuke yelled and the two warriors collided. They were evenly matched but Sasuke was low on chakra. At this rate Madara would win the battle.
"Oi Sasuke, keep him busy for a little longer. My attack will be ready soon." Naruto said and the two Uchiha's could feel his chakra building.
"What's he doing? I better take of him." Madara sent his warrior to attack Naruto but Sasuke blocked it using his own.
"Sasuke it's ready. Get outta the way!" Naruto yelled and unleashed a powerful blast. Sasuke quickly deactivated his Susano and the blast was heading right for Madara.
"It won't be a problem blocking that." Madara blocked the blast with his Susano but the blast was too strong. It broke through the shield and went straight for Madara.
"What? Not a problem, it will go right through me." The blast kept on going through him but Madara couldn't maintain this form for too long.
"It's too powerful...I can't hold this any longer." Madara let out a scream of pain as the blast hit him.
Once the blast had cleared they could see Madara laying there unconscious on the ground.
Naruto collapsed on the ground as he had no energy left after that attack. The orange chakra around his body began to fade and they were replaced with burnt marks. Sasuke rushed to his aid. He himself was wounded, tired and almost out of chakra.
"Oi Naruto, wake up you dobe." Sasuke shook his teammate.
"Sasuke!" Sakura came rushing forward.
"Sakura? What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked and she reached his side.
"I heard the blast and came as fast as I could. Are you both okay?" She glanced at Naruto and immediately started healing his burns.
"Stay with him, I need to take care of Madara." Sasuke stood up and was about to walk off but Sakura held onto his clothes. He turned around and cupped her cheek.
"I'll come back. I promise." He said gently and smiled. She nodded and let go of him.
Sasuke made his way towards Madara. Kakashi's clone appeared before him.
"This is perfect Sasuke, he's unconscious. Quick, bring to this mountain. It has to be done now." He pointed to a small mountain and the shadow clone disappeared. Sasuke did as he was told and dragged Madara's body to the mountain.
"Hurry and place him in the middle of that circle." Kakashi pointed once Sasuke came up. Sasuke did as instructed. They could see the beast struggling from up there.
"Once I'm done sealing the beast, you have to be quick and kill Madara. Sealing the beast inside him will make him stronger and you'll have very little time to kill him. But it's a risk we have to take." Kakashi said and Sasuke nodded in response.
"Sasuke, don't leave anymore. Your home is here. Stick together and always remember that we are team seven." Kakashi smiled and did some hand signs and activated the jutsu.
"Thank you, Kakashi." Sasuke whispered and there was a bright light surrounding the beast and Madara. Once the jutsu was done Kakashi's body fell on the ground. He had a smile on his face; he seemed to be at peace.
Sasuke saw Madara unconscious where he had laid him down. A mark similar to Naruto's had appeared over his stomach. Sasuke took out his katna and was about to stab him in the stomach but he was attacked by a water shark. Sasuke was smashed against the ground and he sat up and saw Kisame standing beside Madara's unconscious body with a smirk on his face. He was injured from his battle against Gai.
"What do you think you're doing kid?" Kisame drew his sword and charged straight at Sasuke. Sasuke barely had any energy left as he prepared to block his attack. Sasuke's katna and Kisame's Samehada clashed. Sasuke used his last ounce of chakra to make Chidori flow through his katna which resulted in having a great effect on a water user like Kisame. Kisame gritted his teeth as lightning flowed through his body and he coughed out blood when Sasuke's lighting katna went through his stomach.
"You…brat….you'll pay….for that." He glared at Sasuke before collapsing on the ground. Sasuke panted and limped towards Madara's body. He was glad that he hadn't regained consciousness yet. He stared at his ancestor for a moment and stabbed his katna right where the seal was. Madara didn't move as Sasuke watched blood pooling around his body.
It was finally over. He was the only remaining Uchiha now. He stared at the face the looked exactly like his brother's and smiled.
"Thank you, Itachi…" He felt darkness consuming his vision and fell on the ground beside Madara.
Everyone at the border let out a sigh of relief once the beast had disappeared. Tsunade had sent the Anbu to help whoever they could. Naruto was taken to the hospital once Sakura was done healing him. She was about to head off to the mountain where Sasuke headed and saw some jounin carrying Sasuke and Kakashi on their backs. Yamato was among them carrying Kakashi on his back.
"Yamato what happened to Madara?" Shikamaru asked.
"He's dead. His body was taken away by the Anbu to Shizune so she could investigate." Yamato spoke but he didn't sound happy.
"They did it! They defeated Uchiha Madara!" One of the shinobis in the crowd yelled and the rest rejoiced. They had smiles and grins on their faces. Sakura smiled and walked towards them, taking off her gloves and got ready to heal them.
"Here I'll heal them." Sakura said but Yamato didn't say anything as the shinobi who was carrying Sasuke laid him. Sakura started healing him immediately.
"You did it Sasuke. You, Naruto and Kakashi-sensei." She thought as she stared at him.
"That will do for now but we need to take both of them to the hospital." Sakura said.
"Take Sasuke to the hospital, Sakura." Yamato told her gently laying down Kakashi's body.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked. Yamato gritted his teeth and tears appeared in his eyes.
"Kakashi-senpai….he was the one...who sealed the beast." Yamato whispered. Realization hit upon the shinobis. Sakura put her hand over her mouth.
"It can't be….Kakashi-sensei is…" She couldn't believe it. The others lowered their heads. Everyone was quiet. Kakashi was a great ninja, sensei, friend and a man to look up to. It was truly a great loss for Konoha.
Gai fell on the ground with his mouth wide open.
"No way...Kakashi...my rival is..." He whispered.
"What's with the long faces? Hatake Kakashi isn't dying here." A voice said from behind the crowd and everyone turned around to see the person behind them.
Sorry for ending it right there. Was that a crappy way for Madara to die? I couldn't think of anything else :P
The next chapter is going to be the last one
