Author's note: To the few who read this story here's chapter 3

I forgot to ad this before but as a new thing I will be stating a theme song for each of my stories. The theme song for Gyokudan is Thriller by Michael Jackson. Before he went weird and all.

Chapter 3: Doom

"Kill all of us, really?" Pein said to Gyokudan.

"Yep, you got a problem with that?"

"Just a little one…… Kakuzu."

"Right." Kakuzu then grabbed Gyokudan's head from behind, ripped it off and tossed it to the ground as his body toppled over.

"You prick, that hurt."

"We might not know how to kill you guys but when your decapitated you're useless." Kakuzu said.

"I'm still going to kill all of you, now you've just pissed me off."

"What are you gonna do bite my ankles to death!"

"Actually I was thinking more along the lines of this." Gyokudan said as his decapitated head rose from the ground, his body got up and waited for it's lost appendage to return, when the head reached the neck a layer of blood rose in between and quickly formed into the lost skin perfectly reattaching Gyokudan's head to his body.

"That's interesting." Pein said.

"Yeah I was going to tell you guys that Gyokudan can't really be incapacitated by that sort of stuff." Hidan said.

"How the hell did you do that!" Kakuzu growled out to Gyokudan.

"It's rather simple." Gyokudan replied as he jumped away from the Akatsuki so that they were all in front of him. "Only one who has reached the highest levels of Jashinism is open to these abilities, basically I can willingly control and manipulate my blood. It is used by the power of one's soul and thus even when decapitated and when my arms are useless I will always come back together. You can't stop me."

"Still, you will find it difficult to fight all of us at once." Pein said.

"Oh I'm aware of that." Gyokudan then reached inside his cloak and pulled out a scroll. Unfurling it the scroll had some kind of seal on it. "Summoning Jutsu: Kikisemaru's Will." A blast of smoke appeared around Gyokudan and when it was lifted almost two dozen men were with him. They all carried an assortment of weapons from scythes to swords and maces.

"The converted Jashinists." Hidan said.

One of the newly arrived foes recognized Hidan. "Ah, Hidan, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to see you here defying us."

"Sorry to disappoint you Keese but I will never betray Jashin-sama." Hidan said as he brought his scythe around ready to do combat.

"He's already betrayed us." Keese said as he did the same.

"Don't think this is it Akatsuki." Gyokudan said. "It doesn't take a genius to realize that Jashinists don't have much actual combat skill. Which is why my other forces will be joining this battle. Summoning Jutsu: Graveyard Shift!" Gyokudan then slammed his palm into the ground and the land around him change color into a sickly grey.

"What did he just do?" Kakuzu asked.

"It's the epitome of what Ikichism has to offer, the ability to tear the souls out of someone's body turning them into mindless zombies." Hidan explained as the ground started to rumble and Gyokudan's new allies arose ready to fight the Akatsuki.

"Over 2,000. Do you think you can kill them all?" Gyokudan asked with contempt and superiority dripping from his mouth.

"It seems like this could take awhile." Pein said. "Go all out."

"Right." Itachi replied, activating his sharingan.

"This should be fun." Kisame said as he readied Samehada.

"Your zombies will be blown to pieces, un." Deidara said as he sculpted.

"Tobi will not let Leader-sama down!"

"I've been wanting to kick this guys ass ever since I met him." Kakuzu said.

"Whatever, as long as I get the kill." Hidan said.

"Heh, don't think…….. that it will be easy!" Gyokudan said as he and the rest of his army charged the Akatsuki.

Gyokudan himself went straight for Pein while Keese went after Hidan, the rest of the Kikisemaru army simply threw themselves at the rest of the Akatsuki.

"Lets see how strong you are!" Gyokudan said as he swung his scythe at Pein who easily dodged, the two of them jumped back into the interior of the castle allowing the rest of the Akatsuki to get on with their fights. Hidan and the former Jashinist Keese were already locked in a deadly battle.

"How could you betray Jashin asshole! He's given you everything!" Hidan yelled at keese and brought his scythe down diagonally at Keese's body, but Keese blocked it with his own scythe identical to Hidan's, the two were locked in a contest of strength neither backing down.

"He doesn't care about us anymore! And anything he gave us Kikisemaru can outdo!' Keese replied and pushed Hidan away, lunging forward and attacking with a flurry of blows intent on beheading his former friend. Hidan dodged one of the strikes and flung his roped scythe at Keese who barely managed to dodge in time. Keese ,seeing an opening, leapt towards the priest and made a powerful horizontal slash hoping to take Hidan out of the fight.

But to his surprise the scythe blades were stopped by Hidan's arm, digging into his won flesh, as he used it as a shield. His surprise quickly turned to pain and anger when Hidan's thrown scythe came back towards him cutting off his head.

"YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU, DON'T THINK THIS IS OVER!" Keese yelled out in frustration to Hidan who simply sighed and kicked his head into the forest where they could no longer here his complaining.

With the rest of the Akatsuki's fights Kakuzu was having a field day as his Iron Body jutsu stopped all of the former jashinists attacks. He had alreadt beheaded several of them when he found himself surrounded by Gyokudan's undead warriors.

"Fine then, if you want to die then come at me I won't hesitate to end your pathetic half-lives." But his confidence lowered as one of the zombies started to gather lightning energy in the palm of his hand.

So they can still use some of their old abilities? This makes it more fun.

Itachi was simply setting fire to any zombies who approached him and let Kisame take care of the Jashinists, using his sword to delimb them. Deidara was clearly having fun as he blew apart a group of zombies and then got angry as the top of his hair was cut off by a katana.

"You want a real fight, yeah? Well fine C2 it is."

Tobi was simply dodging and fazing through all of the attacks aimed at him landing any debilitating punches or kicks when the opportunity presented itself.

But the zombies just kept coming, and now they had started using jutsu's as well, most of the former Jashinist's had been defeated but a few of the stronger ones were starting to cause problems, and every member knew what would happen if they got even a drop of their blood.

"I can tell you're strong. The Rinnegan is certainly a powerful ability. I suspected it was you when Hidan mentioned 'ring eyes'."

"You are familiar with these eyes?"

"I'm three hundred and some odd years old, I'm familiar with everything and I can say without any ego that I am one of the most powerful people to have ever walked this Earth. But you can say the same too."

"If you do think you can win against us you're mistaken, I will kill you here and my comrades will kill your followers and undead."

"They are strong, but as long as I am alive Kikisemaru's will and influence will stay alive as well. My forces may be defeated and it might take another 200 years to rebuild my strength but it will happen. Time is not an issue with me. Kikisemaru will control this world through me no matter how long it takes."

"I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen now."

"Then let's begin."
