The mist village received word that an Akatsuki hideout was nearby. Luckily, I stayed around long enough to find out this information. I also wanted to stay after the Mist was in further danger following the Mizukage's wayward actions. Besides that however, I also got to spend more time with Setsuka. I was sent on the mission to find this so-called hideout, but before I set off Setsuka gave me a long warm hug. Was this a sign that she liked me back? I hoped so. Otherwise it probably would have meant that this was last time we saw each other – A fate I was eager to avoid. In those extra days that I stayed at the mist, I further trained with 'Chakra-sama'. I found out that my chakra nature was indeed Water. Afterwards, I learnt familiar water style jutsu like the 'hidden mist jutsu' and the 'Water dragon jutsu'. I also learned one other jutsu, unbeknownst to Chakra-sama. For this mission, Chakra-sama and Ao were with me. The Mizukage felt that I needed some experienced heads alongside me during this mission.
'So, Ao-san, how long until we reach our destination?' I asked Ao. He had the Byakugan, and was our eyes for this mission.
'Not long now, I guess. We should make haste, and return to the Mist village quickly after. We don't want to scare the inhabitants of this area. They are from the land of water too.'
'Ah, it's been so long since I've been on a proper mission. My last wish is that I will do something amazing for my village and kick some Akatsuki ass!' Chakra-sama was incredibly modest. He already did so much for the village, but at sixty four years old, he still had that fighting spirit and motivation to succeed. It was admirable.
We moved for a while until Ao stumbled across something with his Byakugan.
'Hmm... There appears to be two hideouts that fit the description in this radius. I suppose to be efficient, we should split up. What do you think we should do?' Ao asked. I was a pretty indecisive person at times. There were three of us, and often I worried whether chakra-sama could take care of himself. I had to be paired with him, but it wasn't the case.
'I suppose I will go alone', Chakra-sama said, 'Ao-boy, you need Masakhi-boy to protect you. I can take care of myself you know!' So it was settled, Ao and I would go to one of the hideouts and Chakra-sama to another.
It didn't take us long to reach the hideout, and outside an Akatsuki was waiting. He appeared to be younger than me, and initially I thought he was a girl with that blonde ponytail he was sporting.
'Ah, so you Mist village scum actually took the bait. Now I can destroy the two of you with my art!'
I wasted no time in attacking him. I still that sword I took from my battle with the Jashin sailors. Whilst charging towards him, he used what appeared to be clay and created a big bird out of it. He was mounted onto it and was elevated a safe distance before using some more clay, shaping it into insects and then throwing them at me. I didn't quite know what to expect, so I dodged anyway. My suspicions were correct. The clay exploded when he made a hand sign and said 'Katsu!'
Deidara, as he called himself was a shinobi from the Hidden stone village, and judging from this encounter, he was a long range aerial fighter who used earth style. He was indeed strong because of this, but I could also fight like this. We exchanged attacks with each other; Deidara with his clay, and me with my arrows. Ao helped out too, but his attacks were to no avail, as he was mainly a short range fighter. This fight had dragged on too long, longer than expected and I had to finish him off. I was also worried about chakra-sama, he wasn't here yet.
'Kuchiyose-no-jutsu', I summoned two of my angels. They flew and attempted to surround Deidara, but then Deidara let out his secret weapon, the C4 explosive clay. The clay formed into a dragon. It defeated my angels in an instant.
'Art is an explosion, and your angels certainly went out with a bang!' he laughed with an arrogance that reminded me of my past. Now I was mad.
'Rasengan!' I charged at him, but he dodged again. I didn't use my brain there, and resorted to my arrows again. However after some time, I finally dragged him to the shore. Now, I could finally use some water style jutsu.
'Hidden mist jutsu!' Hopefully Deidara couldn't see anything in the mist from a far distance, but he still used his clay bombs. They exploded near me and I defended with my water wall. I was feeling defeated, like there was no way to defeat Deidara, but I had to be strong. Then all of a sudden, a spiral-like pattern came out of nowhere, like I saw at the mist village after fighting the Mizukage. That Masked Akatsuki came out of it, holding a rather beaten up, but living Chakra-sama. He was wounded in several places, and still had some kunai jammed into him.
'Masakhi-boy, you can beat this Akatsuki. Use your power. I know what you're truly capable of. I've seen you practice that jutsu. Don't be afraid to use -'. The masked man strangled him some more, and stopped him from speaking. In all the commotion, Deidara prepared another C4 destined to finish me off. I had to think quickly.
'Kuchiyose-no-Jutsu!' I summoned my remaining angels, and instantly they performed a barrier jutsu, which would protect me from the C4 bomb. In the meantime, I summoned 2 shadow clones to assist me in creating this new jutsu. The Jutsu was complete.
'Rasen Go-Hadou!' This jutsu took an immense amount of chakra and dark energy to perform but it was worth it. It was like a much bigger Dark Rasengan. It used all the rotary properties of a Rasengan, and it emitted huge amounts of dark lightning from the gigantic sphere. In Addition to that, it had a powerful gravitational pull which the rotation created and I could freely manipulate the dark lightning to destroy any incoming bombs. I was also capable of throwing the sphere towards Deidara, he simply couldn't do anything about it as he was sucked in, and the lightning combined with the rotation was killing him. The water surrounding him was also sucked in, and conducted the lightning even more for a devastating effect.
'Well done Masakhi boy, you're doing it. Well done! Ahh!-' The masked man then teleported towards the sphere with Chakra-sama, near enough not to get sucked in, and kicked chakra-sama towards the Rasen Go-hadou. Chakra-Sama was sucked in, suffering the same effects as Deidara had, and was almost certain to die with him. If I jumped in there to try and bail him out, I would probably die too. The jutsu had finished. Both Deidara and Chakra-sama let out one last yell before dying. The jutsu left hardly any trace of them. I fell to my knees crying and realising that I couldn't save this great man. I felt as though I killed Chakra-sama myself. The masked man then teleported himself towards Ao and myself...
