Satori looked closer and saw pink hair. His eyes widened. Satori shot to his feet and faced the Akatsuki member. He could see sea green eyes under the shadow of the straw hat.
"Show me your face." Satori said.
The Akatsuki member took off the hat and revealed their face. It was Sakura.
Shikamaru faced off against Kimimaru. Shikamaru put his hands into the rat seal and sent his shadow towards Kimimaru. Kimimaru saw it coming and leapt out of the way. He then noticed the shadow was still heading towards him. He continued to dodge the shadow. With the sun out and plenty of trees Shikamaru had more than enough shadow to work with. Kimimaru landed in a sunny spot where he would see the shadow coming. Shikamaru lowered his hands. Kimimaru figured he wouldn't be able to get close to Shikamaru with him using his shadow. He decided he shouldn't fool around. He was going to activate his Cursed Seal. The seal began to spread all over his body and a tail formed. His skin turned a dark brown. Shikamaru did the rat hand seal and shot his shadow at Kimimaru. Kimimaru didn't notice the shadow and he was captured by it. He couldn't move.
"Kage Mane no jutsu successful." Shikamaru said.
Every move that Shikamaru did, Kimimaru mimicked.
"Now it's time for my Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu."
A hand formed at the base of the shadow and began to entwine around Kimimaru's body. The hand reached Kimimaru's neck and the fingers wrapped around it. The hand squeezed and made a loud crack. Kimimaru's head fell limp. Shikamaru retracted his shadow. He had thought he won but then noticed that Kimimaru was still standing. Then his head raised and his eyes looked straight at Shikamaru. Shikamaru stepped back in shock. Kimimaru lowered his body and bones began to form around his left arm.
"This is the thickest bone in my body." Kimimaru said.
He began to run towards Shikmaru. Then out of nowhere something latched onto Kimimaru's face and exploded. Kimimaru stumbled backwards holding his face.
"What the…?"
A person appeared beside Shikamaru. He looked over and saw an Akatsuki member. The Akatsuki member took off their hat, revealing a blonde haired former Rock Ninja. It was Deidara.
Kimimaru recovered from the blast and looked at the newest arrival.
"Another target." Kimimaru said to himself.
Deidara reached into his two pouches and the mouths on his hands ate some clay out of the pouch. Deidara needed time to prepare the clay. Kimimaru wasn't going to allow it. He charged towards the two ninjas. Shikamaru stepped in and formed the rat hand seal. His shadow shot out and headed towards Kimimaru. Kimimaru leapt out of the way and tried to avoid the shadow. This allowed Deidara the time to finish his attack. Deidara held out his hand and a piece of clay sat on his hand. He closed his hand and he used his chakra to form the piece of clay into a hawk. He did a series of hand seals. Dog, Ram.
The miniature hawk turned into a full sized one. The hawk took to the air out of sight. Kimimaru continued to get closer still dodging Shikamaru's shadow. Kimimaru appeared right in front of Shikamaru and Deidara and was about to stab them with his arm. Then, Kimimaru felt something grab a hold onto his back. He turned around to see Deidara's hawk had latched itself onto him. He tried to reach behind him but he could reach it. Deidara held up his right hand with his index and middle fingers extended.
"KATSU!" Deidara said.
The hawk glowed brightly then exploded.
