Hooray the next chapter.
I had to reread what I had written last time so I could try and figure out where to take the story next.
I have a vague idea of where to take this story so... Yeah. Look forward to it XD

It was with much interest and curiosity that Hidan found himself surrounded on all sides by shadow clones and ink animals.
While 'Ino' and Sakura fought it out in the background pulling each others hair and calling each other names, it had seemed Sai and Naruto had decided to gang up on him.
Apparently Naruto was still sore at him about the acorn.
Sai probably just wanted to fight.

"Give up Kakashi-sensei. You are surrounded on all sides by my shadow clones-dattebayo!"

Hidan picked up a long stick from the ground that curved out at the end, vaguely resembling a scythe.
Not ideal but better than nothing.
He had been itching for a fight for a very long time and a sadistic smirk escaped his lips at Narutos taunt.
Radiating attitude and ego, Hidan shouted,

"Excellent, Naruto! Now I can attack in any direction!"

Looking slightly taken aback by his senseis inability to look intimidated, Naruto growled and raced forward to attack, sending wave after wave of shadow clones at 'Kakashi'.
Hidan was both amused and pleased to find that there was no shortage of clones to fight.
His chakra was practically unlimited and he loved nothing more than fighting hundreds of enemies at a time, although it was disappointing to find they disappeared after only a single hit.
It had been too long since he had fought this hard and as a Rasengan flew past his face, Hidan congratulated himself on finding a worthy opponent.
The ink animals added a bit of diversity to the action and he found he was enjoying himself immensely

Deidara growled at Sakura as the girl fisted his hair and he discreetly bit her through his gloves with the mouth on his hand.

Stupid woman! No one pulls my hair, yeah!

She promptly let go with a screech and Deidara used this opportunity to jump back to a safer distance.
Kunoichi were scary to fight, even if you were pretending to be one of them.
Huffing angrily and glaring, Sakura raised a fist and shouted a few words at him, though he didn't pay attention.
His gaze was focused on Team 7s sensei who was swinging a stick around in a masterful display of weapon control as he fought off shadow clones and ink monsters.
It was Hidans fighting style down to a T and Deidaras anxiety about having found the wrong Kakashi trickled away slightly…
Only to reform when he remembered the Sharingan could copy techniques and fighting styles.
He mentally faced palm and groaned at the thought of Kakashi copying Hidans techniques and using them as his own… That just wasn't fair…
A feral growl reminded him that Sakura was still out for his blood and he scowled at her for breaking his concentration.

Thinking later, bitch fighting now.

Kakuzu and Sasori stood on the Hokage monument and watched the battle carried out with barely hidden anger.
The waterfall nin had bitten his lip so hard that a trickle of blood was dribbling down his chin and Sasori was shaking.
Rubbing the back of his neck irritably, the puppet master murmured, "Maybe sending Deidara in was a bad idea…"
They had both watched as the blonde had charged towards the pink haired girl, Sakura, and began tearing at her hair and screaming curse words.
Shortly after that, Naruto and Sai had begun to attack Hidan for seemingly no reason.
Unless…
Unless they had finally seen through the disguises and were taking counter measures.
In Sasoris mind, Deidara had blown their cover by attacking the girl who from this distance, didn't look as though she had done anything wrong or provoked him in anyway.

They both watched solemnly as Narutos shadow clones overpowered Hidan and held him down whilst Deidara was pounded against a tree with fists of fury.

Kakuzu glanced to Sasori grimly and muttered, "Sasori… I think we need to call in the rest of the Akatsuki…"

The red head nodded in silent agreement.
This was obviously out of Deidara and Hidans hands and he watched regretfully as the priest and terrorist were tied to a tree by the three homicidal teenagers.

"I suspect you are right Kakuzu. It won't take us longer than a day or so to get to the base, inform Pein of the circumstances and then return. I'm sure they can make it that long…"

Kakuzu nodded in agreement, silently wishing that he had been partnered with Sasori instead of Hidan as they turned away and dashed through the trees towards the Akatsuki lair.

"Got you Kakashi-sensei!"

Hidan growled at the blonde boy in front of him.
Naruto was grinning up a storm as he gazed happily at his sensei who was tied to a tree by one of Sai's ink snakes.
Obviously, catching Kakashi was a rare occurrence around here.
Rolling his eyes and trying to not let his irritation show, Hidan muttered,

"I WAS going easy on you, you know? I limited myself to say… 40% power? To give you a chance, and shit."

Tied to the tree beside him, Deidaras ears pricked at hearing an all too familiar swear word escape 'Kakashis' lips.
If only he could see the mans face…
He silently cursed Kakuzu for not letting Hidan carry his scythe around the village. If he had of been allowed to, Deidara would know who he was by now.
Naruto suddenly perked up and crossed his arms with a grin.

"Hey… You are tied up…"

Hidan scowled, "I know."

"So… That means I can take your mask off and you can't get away."

The Jashinists eyes widened at this statement and he began struggling like crazy.
There was no way that kid was taking off his mask.
In the odd chance that they had actually seen the real Kakashis face, he was screwed.
Fortunately, his struggling worked in his favor because had he not struggled, Naruto would have found it odd.
From the next tree over, Deidara watched intensely, waiting for the moment of truth that would determine for him whether this man was Hidan or the real Kakashi.

His breath caught in his throat as Narutos hand snaked its way up the mans face and picked mockingly at the mask.
Hidan glared at him, daring the boy to even try it.
With an evil grin, the blond boy grasped the edge of the cloth and yanked down on the mask hard.
As the material slipped over the Jashinists nose, Hidan, Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Deidara began screaming in terror.

Cliff hanger, I know. I'm sorry.
What a horrible person I am for doing this..
