Chapter 5 ready to go read and enjoy!
Wind Country 20 miles from the border
Deidara sat on the clay bird while the Godaime Kazekage was rolled up in the clay bird's tail feathers Sasori walking beside the bird.
'Naruto…what is happening' he heard of the attack on the Akatsuki members by Naruto and Itachi.
Though in reality Deidara never liked Itachi he would try and always get Narutos attention whenever he came to visit and it really annoyed him to know end but when a new member 'Tobi' came and told them the news of Hidans, Kakuzus, Konans, and their Leaders death he had claimed to be their new leader he was going to object but felt Sasori give him a cold glare to silence him.
Now they were headed on their way back to the base after capturing the Ichibi.
A lone crow started swooping around them in a circular fashion as if they were going to die in the blazing sun.
Though the bird raised suspicion as why a lone crow would suddenly appear when neither of them were near a death state well except for the Kazekage but he was just unconscious.
A whistling was heard in front of them and 2 kunai with exploding tags already lit had almost hit them but they blew before them creating a sand cloud.
Then something hurt Deidaras ears started to hurt and started to grab them in discomfort when he looked at Sasori he just sat there with a twitching eye at the screeching sound they booth stood alert at the battle lying before them.
Suddenly from out of the dust cloud came a pure white ball with a shuriken like figure around it reaching faster and faster begging to rip the Akatsuki members apart.
Sasoris iron tale came out and blocked the attack but the tale started cracking in the emmense power of the attack a kunai then went down in a slashing motion right on Sasoris neck destroying what seemed to be his body.
Deidara didn't do anything as he stared at the scene before him then jumped away as the strange attack suddenly grew enveloping the shell of his partner.
"Sasori-dana!" he shouted his cloak flapping in the wind the jutsu created.
A red headed teen landed next to the platinum blonde who had a expressionless face as he stared at the mess before him in distaste.
"Naruto-kun you destroyed my shell and I hoped the rumors weren't true at your leaving of the Akatsuki" his angelic voice said in sadness.
"Yes Sasori-kun it is a shame" the voice of Naruto came from the sand cloud as his figure came out with the Akatsuki attire Itachi straight behind him.
"But you must think beyond of what is the unthinkable" he said with a smile his blonde hair moving in the wind.
Though Deidara had no idea along with Itachi of what that meant it seemed that Sasori understood the whole thing.
He gave the blonde a soft smile then brought a dark red scroll and unfurled it and spoke "Red Secret Technique: Performance of Hundred Puppets" a poof sound was heard and a hundred puppets soon appeared each one controlled by a chakra string connecting to Sasoris finger.
"Please Sasori if you just give me your ring I won't kill you" Naruto said with a tear rolling down his face at the thought of losing another friend.
But the red head just smiled once again "It would be a honor to fight with my last breath against you".
Narutos eyes went wide at his words but Deidara and Itachi looked at the two of them ready to jump back at any time to see whose partner was better the puppet master of the sand or the Rinnegan user of the hidden leaf.
"Now let's begin" whispered Sasori as puppets launched themselves at the Rinnegan user and he didn't even flinch when a sword was about to pierce his heart.
Then 10 puppets were blasted away by Shenrai Tensei and were easily broken.
Swords clashed against Narutos rock hard arms.
"I am a user of the Rinnegan master of the 5 elements and you think I wouldn't use the elements to create the Kekkei Genkai" Naruto said with a smirk as more puppets were blasted away behind him while Naruto sat in that pose with 3 puppets before him trying to cut into the rock hard arm.
The blonde threw his arms up thus ending the draw and then clasped his hands together he then smirked as he gathered chakra to his technique that Pein had taught him.
As he opened his hands a small black orb between the two of them he released it to the sky as it floated a fair distance before stopping "Chibaku Tensei" then something started to pull from the earth under them Itachi quickly landed to the blonde a wrapped a arm around his waist for two things A. He didn't want to feel the effects B. He loved the blonde too much to not use the opportunity.
Though the blonde blushed he still focused on the technique as the earth and puppets made its way to now tiny version of the moon was shaped.
Deidara and Sasori both stared in awe at the technique as they finally made it a faraway distance to not get caught in the gravity.
Soon a gigantic ball of earth floated in the air it was similar to the moon only a lot smaller then rapidly it swung down to the earth with a gigantic mushroom cloud.
'How could I have been so foolish to challenge Naruto-kun' the depressing thought came to mind for the red head knowing his death was waiting for him but that doesn't mean he won't go without a bang.
Another scroll soon made its way out of the cloak it was a dark grey color labeled 3rd Kazekage.
As the sealing was released a gigantic puppet that was floating in chakra strings that Sasori connected it to.
"Now Naruto-kun let the real fun begin" the soft voice made Naruto smirk in anticipation.
Iron sand began to leak out of the open mouth of the 3rd Kazekage of the Sand once all of it had been drained and with praise for Narutos patience he began his attack.
The Iron Sand turned into a triangle, square, and a cone in 3 dimensional shapes.
But Naruto just smiled at the technique like it was nothing he hadn't seen before and clasped his hands together once more but this time his fingers intertwined 3 shadow clones made their appearance each one eyes fixed on their opponent.
Sasori in fear of it being that technique again sent the Iron Sand objects to him at high speeds in hopes of stopping him but to no avail as he dodged out of the way along with the clones he then closed his original eyes as the clones took on the position of guarding him further while he concentrated.
'What is he doing he cannot see' Sasori thought before sending the sphere to crush all of them but was shocked at how Naruto moved with his eyes closed clones following his movements.
'How is this possible?!' the red head thought in question as cone and triangle collided into one another trying to crush his long-time friend.
But in the end it was all failed as Naruto opened his eyes to reveal victory in his eyes as he slowly opened his hands to reveal a pure white circle with a see through cube surrounding it.
"But that's-" Deidara was cut off as Naruto explained the rest "Yes Particle Style" he smirked as the same cube surrounded the puppet Sasori was controlling.
"Move Sasori!" The bomber scream shocked the red head back to reality then moved out of the way releasing the Kazekage.
"Particle Style: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique" screamed Naruto as the puppet vanished as it had never existed in the first place.
"Now who's next" he said deathly staring at the two Akatsuki members.
2 chakra recievers fell into Narutos hands and soon ran after Sasori in high speeds and soon ran the black rods through his middle center where his heart was located.
Tears now once again fell free from the face of Naruto as he started to shake because of once again attacking and killing his best friend.
"N-Naruto-kun s-show those b-bastards what you g-got" he held up his left thumb to do two things one was to give him a thumbs up and the other because of his purple ring.
Naruto took off the ring and slowly put it on his own left thumb and the arm of Sasori fell limp as death claimed him.
Then his direction turned to Deidara in hopes of getting the ring without a fight.
"I'll make a deal with you let me join you two then I'll give Naruto-kun here my ring" he said with total seriousness.
Naruto shook his head and Itachi soon followed suit but his was rigid.
The bomber took off his ring and gave it to the blonde who put it on his right index finger he now stared at the rings in horror remembering what he had to do at the end and what Itachi had to do not long from now.
The blonde created a shadow clone to give back the Kazekage to the sand village but that ended when a group of Konoha shinobi appeared before them all in question of what had happened here.
A Jounin by the looks of it came up he had long silver hair that pointed upwards and had on the usual attire but the headband that covered his right eye.
"Kakashi Hatake of the Hidden Leaf" Naruto whispered at the silver haired man who stood frozen at finding his sensei's son and now it was coming true but not the way he hoped.
A teen with black straight came up and had on a blank face while smiling to him he could only think of one thing 'Danzo you sick freak' his body was pale but had muscle.
"But you…I need to talk to you" Naruto whispered at seeing the pale teen had a confused look on his face.
A pink haired girl who had reminded him of the Slug Sannin of Konoha made her way into the conversation "Give us back the Kazekage or I'll- but to the Konohas Shinobi surprise the Kazekage was put into the arms of Kakashi.
"He's your" the blonde said then turned his way back to the pale teen and motioned him to follow but he looked back with a quick glance making sure everyone was ok then left the pink haired girl tried to follow but was blocked by Deidara and Itachi.
"You have no reason to continue he just wants to talk with him" Itachi said while his sharingan started to swirl.
"Sakura!" Kakashi yelled as she was pushed out of the way with the Kazekage lying in a clone of the son of the white fangs arms.
His own sharingan was open now staring back into his both of them swirling in a hypnotic trance but that change when Itachi's Mangekyou appeared Kakashis following suit.
"Now let our fun begin" Itachi whispered as his right eye started to bleed "Amaterasu" he whispered as black flames evolved.
10 miles from the fight
"What is your name and your affiliation with the village if you do not tell me then I will get it out of you myself?" Naruto whispered.
"Sai ,Anbu Root" his voice hit the blonde like a ton of bricks.
"Sai…Danzo will die" Naruto said in deadly voice instantly his wakazashi was drawn and posed to strike though Naruto didn't flinch.
"I didn't say I would do it" the blonde said with a sigh.
The sword wavered but wasn't put away "You see Danzo has done something disgusting in my point of view but I still will not kill him because he has some…issues to deal with Sasuke Uchiha".
"But what does that have to do with me?" Sai said in question.
"You…have given yourself hope to once again have emotions" the blonde smiled brightly at Sai who had confusion written all over his face as his sword layed by his side.
"I saw the way you looked back at your team when you left them and in my opinion that is something no ordinary Root Anbu does. Sai when you return to Konoha I don't care what you tell them but just think what will you do without Danzo?" then a puff of smoke took the place of the Akatsuki member.
The teen thought about his words then headed back…slowly.
The Fight
Kakashi and Sakura were breathing hard as the two Akatsuki members were fighting them Itachi just released Amaterasu and a gigantic clay dragon at the two of them they had no way out.
"Good-bye Sakura" Kakashi said knowing his fate his chakra was low along with Sakura nothing could save them.
"Good-bye Kakashi-sensei" agreeing with her teacher as a tear escaped her eye.
But something strange happened "Shenrai Tensei" the words were spoken as both attacks were repelled.
Naruto then floated down and landed his hair shining in the sun "Now who said this could happen" with a cold voice as Itachi and Deidara shivered.
"Well we wanted to have some-"Itachi tried to say but a finger silenced him then soft lips started to kiss him in extreme passion.
Deidara, Kakashi, and Sakura stared at the pair kissing with jaws dropped and eyes bugged out of their heads especially Kakashis.
'Oh god how will I tell sensei?" he though as he couldn't imagine what he would do when Minato heard the news but then he fainted when he saw the tongues come into play.
Sakura just sat there along with Deidara as they watched.
Naruto grinned happily as he released the kiss with a smiling Itachi "Now don't ever do that again you naughty boy" That was when Sakura fainted Deidara followed suit.
The dark haired man had a bloody nose at his words while Naruto giggled uncontrollably.
"Come on we have to go and find Kisame your old partner" he then summoned a strange bird Itachi grabbed Deidara then jumped on along with Naruto.
Sai then made his appearance as they took off into the sky.
He looked around his sensei and teammate both unconscious and wondered what had happened.
Then Kakashi groaned as he got up "Oh god what am I gonna do" anime tears came down his face "Oh dear god please don't kill me sensei!" Sai sweat dropped at his actions.
Water Country
"Damn" Kisame said as faced Naruto who had absorbed every single one of his attacks.
"Water Style: Mouth of the Serpent!" he shouted then a gigantic water serpent came into view and made its way to the blonde but it once again got absorbed.
"You little brat you shall die!" screamed Kisame but something strange started to happen his body started to transform like that of a shark a large dorsal fin erupted from his bad and at his elbows his skin light blue only his legs remained the same his, only his shirt ripped from the transformation.
His hands made rapid hand seals "I have taught you almost everything I knew and this is what I get in respect!" the hand seals stopped a large water dome erupted and then he changed the last hand seal into tiger as oil spilled from his mouth covering the dome in darkness.
Itachi and Deidara watched as Naruto fought the monster all by himself Itachi watched the whole thing in sadness as he watched his partner rebelled against Narutos choice of being left alive but had to give Naruto the ring in return but he refused and this was the consequences of his action.
Naruto sat in the inked water waiting for the right moment to happen so he could win he felt cut appear on his body left and right blood seeped through his cloak.
"Mmm yeah that's the stuff give me more BLOOD!" more and more hits continued then he chose his moment then proceeded to pretend to fall to the floor of the water dome.
As he hit the floor Kisame made his face visible right before his "Food!" his mouth open ready to devour him but he wasn't going to let that happen "Shenrai Tensei!" he screamed bubbles of air escaped then gravity blew away the dome of inked water along with a direct hit on Kisame.
Kisames sword layed on the ground not too far away with Kisame in full pain trying to get healed by his trusty weapon but in the end failed as a tired foot stepped on his hand Naruto on the verge of losing consciousness.
Then a chakra rod slammed into Kisames ring hand thus not allowing him to move it then Naruto took his ring that was important to his plan.
He know examined his fingers as the monster beneath him breath was raggid.
'Only two more rings and then my plan will become complete' he then glanced at Itachis ring remembering what he had said.
Flashback
Itachi stared at his ring to the ride of Kisames whereabouts and found that Naruto was staring at it to he smirked.
"Naruto-kun when…I die what will you do?" he whispered tears formed on the edge of Narutos eyes but didn't say a word until he had calmed himself down.
"I-I will complete the plan" he said with a ear coming down his face.
"I will give you my ring think of it as a good-bye gift when I die" Itachi whispered making his way to give his boyfriend a hug.
And the blonde gladly accepted it.
Flashback End
He couldn't help but let a tear fall out of what this world has done to him.
Naruto produced a chakra rod then smashed it into Kisames heart stopping his movement.
Then he looked at the sword that layed behind him and attached it onto his back like how Kisame had done it.
He looked one last time at the body then left on the summoned bird no one saying a word about the battle.
They left to find the final and last ring that would be the hardest to find Zetsus.
Konoha Hokages Office
Minato sat on his chair in confusion as to why Kakashi had fidgeted so nervously as Sakura and Sai left so he could explain the mission and sweat had dropped from his mask that totally gave off the nervousness and fear.
Kakashi explained their travel to the sand and Sakura curing Kankuro of a poison a Akatsuki member named Sasori gave him.
But when they had left that's where he began to shake and Minato couldn't take any more of his actions.
"Kakashi stop ok your fine this is just a mission debrief nothing bad will happen I won't do anything like throw you out a window ok?" though when Kakashi calmed down he couldn't help but fidget here and there.
"We had probably passed 40 miles out of Suna but had stopped when we saw a little trouble with the Akatsuki you see there were 3 members when we arrived one of them Sasori was dead with a chakra rod sticking out of his chest" Now Minato was interested.
"Deidara of Iwagakure and Itachi of Konohagakure but what was shocking was the last member it was your son Naruto Namikaze all grown up" the office gave of a sad aura as Minato had not once seen his son for 2 years since he had escaped his father's grasp not being able to do the things that father and son should have done together.
"The land around them layed in rubble destruction that could only mean that Naruto must have killed Sasori since Deidara was the one who had fought Gaara the Kazekage –Minato had a shocked look on his face as he heard the news- but his fingers Minato he had so many rings of the Akatsuki on them in was scary as you heard each one of the members of the Akatsuki have one of them but he had almost all of them only two of them remained empty" The Yondaime was shocked at the power his son had held how far had he worked to gain the rings.
"But when he saw my teammate Sai he had changed and had asked him to give him a talk he gladly gave us the Kazekage back and as they walked off Itachi and Deidara wanted to have a little fun and so we agreed but things escalated out of control we were going to be killed sensei a clay dragon and Itachis Mangekyou Amaterasu heading straight for us but were repelled by a move only a Rinnegan user can create Shenrai Tensei yes Minato your son Naruto saved our lives" Minato didn't know what to saw but to express pure happiness of his actions 'You have made me so proud of you Naruto'.
That's when the fear crept up on Kakashi once again saying the words of what he had never once wanted to say "and when Naruto returned and protected us he went straight to Itachi and –Minato thought he was going to kill him but boy was he thought wrong- kissed him" he said and the Yondaimes face held rage of all sorts and started screaming at why he couldn't have grand kids and why he was dating a missing-nin was unacceptable in any way and he was also too young to be dating.
"But I feel like I must tell you everything they um well you see started to tongue" Minatos ranting was cut as pure anger took its place and Kakashi thought he was going to die in the end "…And you see well uh Naruto called Itachi a bad..boy…" That was it Minato had enough of this he grabbed Kakashis arms and threw him out the window.
'Was it really worth to anger a father like that' thought Kakashi then he landed on hard on his face 'Then again I could have just said Naruto left once he gave us the Kazekage' then Kakashi started to receive the beating of a life time once Minato realized Kakashi could have stopped their romantic actions.
HAHAHAHA poor Kakashi. Review PLEASE!
