-1The Plan for Hinata Hyuga
A/N: I am still thinking on whether this should be the last chapter or not, so I'll see if it will be later. I have never planned any part of this story so that may attest to why it could've been a lot better than this. This chapter will focus on what happened to Kail, and will once again be in his perspective. Have fun reading this!
Disclaimer: Masashi Kishimoto is the sole owner of Naruto, and I think Viz animations has something on it too. Is my name one of those two? I think not…
--------------------------------------
Final Chapter: Akatsuki Plot… Revealed?
'What happened, the last thing I remember is getting near killed using that seal, and now I can't see? What is happening..?' I pondered the plausible scenarios, many involving that I died and was buried. However, that would not attest to why I could faintly hear something in the background, I quickly focused in on the sound.
It started out sounding like static, but quickly upgraded into the form of a whisper. "Is he still incapacitated? Knowing the Azarenuemo's power, the jutsu could have no effect on him." The voice I could not recognize.
Another voice was heard murmuring under the owner's breath. "There was no way the leader's power could be bested by a mere child, no matter their demon or whatever's power is." Wait, that mean that there is someone requesting me, and their power must be great.
The accomplice's voice came back in, sounding incredibly nervous. "This child must be well-endowed with power if the leader even doubted his abilities and told us to keep him under survelience at all times." I then realized that I may be able to open my eyes.
'Azare, are you there?' When no reply came, something must've happened for him to not exist. 'Hello, Azare, you must be there. What happened?'
Then I picked up something else that was clearly announced to the whole world to hear. "At least the leader used his abilities to seal the thing's presence in the boy." Just great, they sealed Azare.
'I am no thing. I am the almighty Azarenuemo!' Wait, they said he was sealed so what went wrong? 'Hey Azare, what is going on here? Well, let's see, they first took us from the hospital, taking out Naruto in the process. Then I think they attempted to seal me, which was stupid, imagine sealing the master of sealing itself!'
I listened to his ranting for a few moments while he explained what was going on. 'So they must be strong to take out Naruto easily, but maybe you can check the surroundings, Azare!' I saw an image of him saluting like a soldier in the military, and I felt an eye appear on my forehead. 'Eww, a third eye. Couldn't you have used something more subtle?'
'Shut up, I can see the surroundings clearly! We're on what seems to be an operating table in the middle of a giant room, and there is an elaborate symbol on the ground that seems pretty powerful. Oh, and there's some blue-haired freak with a flower in it's hair and some black-haired guy with red eyes looking directly at us.' Two people, and their both those guys in the Akatsuki. Reshuko and Itachi, what could they want?
'Azare, do you think-' I was rudely interrupted by a blow to the stomach, which inadvertently forced my eyes open. "What was that for?!" I had blown my cover of feigning sleep.
The black-haired Itachi just made a surprisingly Sasuke-reminiscent "Tch." Well at least he is responsive. "Pein, get the others, I will hold him off for now to stop him from stopping the process."
The blue-haired boy, well more like thing, after all it had control over flowers for all we know, recently named Pein immediately left the room to find the rest of the Akatsuki. Itachi instantly pulled out a kunai and bared it's point at me. If I couldn't get out of here before reinforcements came, I would be doomed.
The flurry of strikes came in many forms, alternating from horizontal slashes across my abdomen to diagonal slashes aiming for vital points. Barely dodging them was hard enough, counter-attacking was impossible!
"At least you are predictable-" I felt a lone kunai placed against my back, which I just now realized was bare. "YOU TOOK MY SHIRT, AND MY GEAR!?" I turned around, surprisingly fast enough to elicit a raised eyebrow from the stoic Akatsuki emo, and struck him with all the force I could muster.
It turned out to be only a clone, which dissipated in an explosion of water. 'He is not one to be trifled with. Kail, get the hell out of there! What do you think I am trying to get to? The wall?' Wait, I was against the wall, and surprisingly conscious. "Bye Itachi, hopefully you'll die before I see you again."
After another raised eyebrow from Itachi, which was apparently the most anyone can get from him emotionally, I focused all my chakra into every cell of my body. I disconnected my cells mildly and stepped backwards through the wall, and straight into a person.
Before I could turn around to question what the hell I had ran into, an overly happy voice came from behind me. "ZETSU-SAMA, THERE'S A BOY THAT JUST CAME THROUGH THE WALL! WHAT SHOULD I DO?" Maybe I could manipulate the weird boy, well there's a plan.
"Hey, kid. Can you tell me the exit to here, I kind of forgot? Oh, and I'm a subordinate of Reshu-, err, Pein's, I'm kind of new here so, yeah." I still had no clue whether that thing was a boy or not, and why did it call himself Reshuko when it wasn't it's name? I couldn't tell if he fell for it or not, seeing as how the kid had a orange mask on that covered his entire face.
"Sure, after all Tobi's a good boy." Well that was kind of random. "Go down the hall, turn left-" Then we got interrupted by a plant, yes people, a plant.
"Tobi, who the hell is this? Are you talking to stranger's again, Tobi?" I looked at the plant-like creature, who talked in different voices probably due to mental trauma, and realized that it must be Tobi's master.
"Zetsu-sama, this is one of Pein's subordinates, he forgot how to get out of here. So I elected to tell him!" I could swear that Itachi was going to blow a hole through that wall if I couldn't get out any faster.
"Tobi, Pein has no subordinates. Be a good boy and lock him back up in the other room now, Tobi." Well my life just got forfeit by some plant. Oh well, hopefully when I get reincarnated, I become a weed whacker.
As Tobi scratched his head in confusion, I took the opportunity to knock plant guy over there onto the ground and made a run for it. "Thanks Tobi!" I followed my instincts and began to flee as fast as I could. Just so happens that the alarms went off and I had the entirety of the Akatsuki after me.
I turned a sharp corner and connected full face with a giant. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Kail Kazerai, remember me?" I looked up and met with a blast from the past.
-Flashback!-
It was a rainy day for Kumogakure, so not much had been going on. Rain didn't happen much when you live above the clouds, thus something was going to occur, something big. Like an assassination attempt on the whole of the Raikage family, including one Kail Kazerai.
Luckily I had Shiro as a guard, as well as several other ninja people of respectable skill. I had decided to spend the day in my room looking out at the rain falling down upon the beautifully boring city of Kumogakure.
"Hey Shiro, is something wrong?" I looked from my window to see the look of fear on the face of the usually cheerful bodyguard.
He shook his head, dismissing any worry from my mind. "I just have a bad feeling about today. Just dismiss it though, if something does happen, we can take care of it together." He always couldn't make me worry about anything, it was in his nature.
With a small "Okay," I went back to viewing out the window, admiring the small cascade of rain that fell ever so lightly upon the city. Little did I notice the figure that jumped rooftop to rooftop looking for something.
As the clock struck six o'clock, the door to my room bust open violently. "Guess who's here, child." I turned to see a bloody sight; the guards laying in pools of their own blood and bits of flesh.
I was too frightened to be able to flee. All the cells within my body were screaming for me to get out of there, along with an inner voice that I assumed was my conscious. "Who are you?" came out as my quiet question to the assassin.
The towering figure only smirked devilishly as he walked forward to me. "I am nothing short of the one to cause your death. My name is irrelevant." Shiro stood defensively in front of me with a kunai in a striking position.
"I will not allow you to pass, fiend!" That remark only caused the incarnation of death in front of us to crack his knuckles threateningly, showing off the fact that he would not tolerate resistance.
"How I love a great fight. Watch as you friend dies before your eyes." Shiro ran forward, landing a blow in the assailant's arm. "Futile attempts, boy." The dark-skinned attacker merely backhanded Shiro into a wall.
Shiro, coughing up blood, ran forward again to attack. The monstrous enemy only laughed at the attempts. The blow aimed at his heart landed, yet the attacker did not falter.
"I am invincible, but now I shall take your heart as well!" Threads came out of his body, only to pierce straight through the body of my defender, chunks of meat tearing out of Shiro. "A mere child like you cannot even fatally harm me."
Blood pooling out of Shiro was to much of a sight to me, I nearly fainted. A simple look from the killer made it otherwise.
"You wouldn't want to miss the sight of your friend here dying, would you?" With that, he grabbed the dying Shiro and threw him straight through a window, plummeting to his death.
At that, I fainted into white. Shiro had been killed in cold blood by a dark-skinned monster from the Akatsuki, or at least I had thought.
-End Flashback-
That assailant was now in front of me, in all his glory. "You were the one who killed him." He laughed at that fact.
"I would have killed you too if not for that power of yours." He let the image of Shiro roll over my mind. He let out a few threads, and sent one of them through my arm. "I have orders to detain you, but I will make it painfully enjoyable, at least for me."
The pain in my arm seared with such intensity that I didn't dare move it. "You are nothing more than my death, sound familiar?" I gathered wind chakra in my uninjured arm and unleashed it in a blast of chakra. It went clear through his leg.
His eyes glazed over in a look of sheer malicious intent. "May your death come filled with pain!" He sent three threads through my limbs, cutting off all movement. "You will die at my hands."
'Azare, I time to pay rent for the years you spent in my body. Pay up with chakra!' I felt chakra begin to repair my limbs from damage. 'You happy now, Kail? Wait, your fighting Kakuzu? RUN KAIL, I HAVE FOUGHT HIM BEFORE I LIVED IN YOU, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!' Over dramatic much?
"Hey Kakuzu, eat this!" I ran forward and pushed my chakra-infested hand straight through his heart. To my surprise, he laughed and punched me into a wall. "What the hell?" I could barely stand from the debilitating blow in my stomach.
He turned his back to me, revealing three masks on his back. "Each of them contains a heart, thus allowing me to be near invincible. You are going to die, no matter how hard you try." I gritted my teeth and ran forward again, only to have my punch be easily dodged.
The guy was right, I was doomed unless I could get out of here using that technique to go through walls. I ran forward towards the nearest wall, only to have Kakuzu mutter something in the background.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness." I could not comprehend the intense pain that coursed through me in the form of electrical discharge. The sheer heat from the lightning made me pass out, but it was into darkness, not the light of my mind.
I only heard Kakuzu laugh before he dragged my body away into the chamber.
-Scene Change-
I was in the utter black of my unconsciousness, yet I could still hear the voices of the Akatsuki. Faintly, the voices flowed through the never-ending darkness of my mind.
"Kakuzu, are you sure you did not kill him?" The voice was unfamiliar, presumably from the leader of the Akatsuki.
"No I did not, the lightning only stunned him into unconsciousness." That was the simple reply from the killer.
I heard a small "Tch" come from a corner of the room, apparently that was the emo member of the Akatsuki, Itachi.
"I can keep an eye on him if you wish, Leader." That was another voice that sounded kind of weird, like he was thinking at the end which was probable thanks to a "mmm" added at the end.
"I shall assist him, for Deidara is my partner." The voice was also unfamiliar, but at least he sounded smart and correct.
"Sasori, Deidara, you may look over him. All you have to do is keep him in this room for two more hours, then the process will be complete and the sealing stone will be conjured from the Azarenuemo's powers. Afterwards, I wish to talk to him, alone." Footsteps leading away from me were heard, signifying that only Sasori and Deidara were left.
'Hey Azare, are you there?' Only the calm emptiness of my mind replied in any form. 'Great, I'm doom-' A boom was heard in a far off section of the Akatsuki lair.
That blast chipped off a section of the seal on the floor, allowing me to move my body, but I still couldn't get to Azarenuemo's powers. I instantly opened my eyes to look around, luckily the ones named Deidara and Sasori were bickering and not paying even the slightest bit of attention.
"Art is meant to be everlasting, to be there even when the owner is not." Great, they were talking about art. WHAT RELEVANCE DOES THAT HAVE TO ME?
I made sure that they weren't looking at me, or the exit, and set off towards the door as fast as possible. Sadly, as I passed through the first hallway, I was seen by someone, actually two someones.
Those someones just happened to be the Akatsuki leader, and that gender-confused person whose name was either Reshuko or Pein. And they had ice cream, wait, ice cream?!
"Hey Kail. See leader, I told you that Deidara and Sasori were total idiots!" It was right, they were not very focused on their task.
"Yes Pein, they have fulfilled their task very well." Oh no, I was supposed to escape? "Since you are particularly annoying to us, we decided not to do the entire three-hour process of stealing the ability to seal demons and instead let you join us. Do you accept?"
I knew if I refused, they would just do something worse to me, like force me to watch the Teletubbies marathon. 'NEVER! If I joined, it would be evil, but then I could see Naruto and Hinata again…'
The leader, who looked very intimidating, began tapping his foot in annoyance. "Well?" Pein was leaning on the wall with it's ice cream.
This was undoubtedly the hardest choice I ever had to make. "I shall… join."
The leader's face brightened up, but he still didn't smile. "Good, we are a very forgiving organization when we feel like it. Just not now."
Vision of black and red overtook sight and all sensibility. The signs performed were never seen, the death of my former self were never seen. The only things I ever saw again were the sights of my very friends die at my hand.
The turning from a human being with a carefree attitude to a monster was not without pain, neither physical nor emotional, but pain nonetheless. To comprehend that a jutsu was designed to control a separate soul beside your own is not possible.
The leader had essentially brainwashed me, yet it was of my own choice to kill the very people I once loved. The sights of Mazuri, Gaara, a girl named Yugito Nii, an old man, and Naruto being killed from my own abilities passed my eyes.
My soul had died alongside my friends.
--------------------------------------
A/N: If you were wondering what happened at the end, just imagine the leader using an overly powerful jutsu that commands you to act what the leader wills. (Creepy thought ain't it?)
Yes, Naruto died. (Cries mentally. Then dodges many flying objects of doom from demon container lovers.) I had to end this eventually, and it was incredibly depressing to write the end part.
Even though this story is over until I decide to redo the beginning, REVIEW FOR THE LAST TIME POSSIBLE! These reviews will tell me what to change in my writing style, or to tell me unintelligible things involving how bad this story sucked.
Sayonara, at least until I write again!
