Yeah, so it's been a while right? I've been busy. Packing for college, preparing for college, and now college.

And World of Warcraft certainly isn't helping…right? Anyways…now for something totally random…GUARD THE ASPRIN AS IT SHALL ONE DAY RISE UP AND DEFEAT THE EVIL OVERLORD BOBOLUSHZUDOOKEYMONSAN!!!

This chapter is dedicated to the doods and doodettes in the NaruHina FC on for inspiring me to work on this fic again.

-Thank you.

Chapter 22:

"I've told you SEVERAL times not to call me that…"

"Well, how many men paint their nails? Purple of all colors…" Sasuke said chuckling. The others couldn't help but agree. "Hehe, It looks like I'll be able to get my revenge…FINALLY!!!" Sasuke's face was wild with excitement. "After all these years…brother…this will be ended."

"I'm sorry Sasuke. I'm not here for you, it is actually very unfortunate that you'd be here…" Itachi said. "I'm here for a package." He said eyeing Kakashi. "Isn't that right…Kakashi-san?" Kakashi held his bag with one hand.

"There are ten of us Itachi." Kakashi said shakily. "Even you couldn't take on ten of us by yourself.

"You forget Kakashi-san…I killed my whole clan…save one…in a single night," he said with absolutely no voice inflection. "And who said I was alone?"

"Kisame too then?"

"Absolutely." The fish-like man said with a smile. "And don't forget Samehada!" He said twirling his blade around as he stepped out behind the party.

"Would it be easier to double team Kisame first…then go after Itachi?" Kaoshi suggested.

"Whatever way is up to you…but I doubt that the kids can handle Itachi by themselves…"

"What to do…"

"How about…"

"RRAAAGGGHHH!!!!" a very loud scream interrupted them. They turned in time to see Sasuke charging Itachi, chidori flowing behind him. "It's time to die brother!" He yelled again with a wild grin. "I'll destroy you for all the pain you've caused me!" He thrust the chidori at Itachi who instead of dodging, put out his hand and merely stopped the chidori with the palm of his hand. "What the--?"

"You still lack the essential thing brother…"

"Quit preaching to me!" He yelled in anger. "FLOWING CHIDORI!!!" Itachi let go and delivered a spin kick to Sasuke's face. "Urrggh!!" He shook his hand a little.

"Congratulations Sasuke…" He said mockingly. "You've managed to singe the skin on my palm."

"You…BASTARD!!!" Sasuke yelled charging his brother again. "CHIKURODORI!!!" The black chidori exploded out of Sasuke's hand. The curse seal had sprung up without him even noticing, something that hadn't happened in a while.

"Wuh oh…" Kaoshi said annoyed. "What are we gonna do with him?"

"Tie him to a horse and drag him all around town." Kakashi said.

"I'll back up Sasuke…" Kaoshi said with a sigh. He did NOT want to get involved with Itachi. He was one of the most powerful ninja alive. "Fuck." He said.

"Can you and Sasuke beat him?"

"…Five and five?"

"Deal. I got Lee."

"Naruto."

"Ten Ten."

"Shikamaru."

"Temari."

"Hinata."

"Sakura."

Each went to their respective Jounin. Lee, Ten Ten, Temari, and Sakura went to Kakashi. LOL perv Kakashi picked all the girls lawlawlawl. Naruto, Shikamaru, and Hinata went to Kaoshi.

"You guys ready?" Kakashi said turning to his team.

"HAI!" they all said. Except Temari who just said

"Whatever." A second after the rest.

"Are you sure you can do this?" Kisame chuckled.

"Yup." Kakashi said with a smile.

"You're confident…even though you obviously stand no chance." He said as his smile changed into a frown. "I don't like that." Kisame pointed Samehada at them, "It's time do die bitches."

"Alright, here's the plan…" Kakashi said. "Temari, Ten Ten, you two will attack him from a distance, and Ten Ten, once you run out of ranged weapons go in and just distract him so Lee can get some solid hits in. Sakura, you'll heal whatever wounds the team needs healed and if he happens to get too close…give him a punch for me."

"WHAT ABOUT YOU?!" Sakura yelled angrily.

"Don't worry, I'll be right here. I'll be right there next to you, kicking ass." Kakashi said with a hidden smile.

"You'd better…" Sakura said stomping off.

"Haha…kids…" Kakashi said as he moved his headband. "Now…LET'S DO THIS!" He yelled as the Konoha shinobi faced off against their strongest foe yet. Lee knelt down taking off his leg weights. There was a small earthquake as the two weights hit the ground.

"Dammit Lee!" Ten Ten yelled. "When did they get heavier?!"

"About four months ago." Lee said smiling. "Gai-sensei said 50 kilos was too light. Now I'm at 100 kilos per leg." (For all you retards…that's 220 pounds per leg)

"WHAT?!" Ten Ten Yelled. But she didn't have time to say anything else seeing as Lee tackled her to knock her out of a swing of Samehada.

"You see," Kisame said, "I'm not going to allow that petty banter. It's insulting that you're taking me so lightly. So I'd appreciate it if you'd shut the fuck up and fight me."

"Damn." Temari said with a chuckle. "Someone certainly is sure of himself."

"Cheh…" Kisame said eying the girl. "You've gotta big mouth. I don't like that either."

"You've got an ugly face, and I don't like that." Temari mused.

"Well at least I have a face." He said as he swung Samehada at her face with blinding speed. Kisame suddenly disappeared, dodging Sakura's punch at his face which instead of his face, connected with the ground causing the it to rip apart sending Temari and Little Miss I Like to Punch Really Hard flying back into a wall.

"Cheh…" Kisame scoffed. "That punch could hurt…I should probably avoid thaaaaAARRRRGG!!" Was how Kisame said hello to the foot in his face. He said a heartfelt goodbye to Lee's foot as he skid across the ground for a few feet.

"As you said," Lee said confidently. "I shall not allow for your petty banter, for it is rude. You obviously are underestimating us, which could be a fatal mistake. Please take us more seriously."

"Cheh…" Kisame said as he stood up. "You know what?" Kisame said angrily, "I don't like any of you."

"Dammit…" Kakashi thought to himself. "Absolutely no openings." He cursed his luck. "If the we don't open him up soon, I won't be able to surprise him with the Raikiri and kill him in one hit. And if that doesn't happen…who knows what will…"

"RAAAHH!!!" Lee charged Kisame. Lee threw a series of punches and kicks and quickly disengaged after all of them were blocked. "Don't touch his sword." Lee said. "It absorbs chakra."

"Well that's lovely." Temari said. "Well how about this?" She said opening her giant fan. "KAGEKAZE NO JUTSU!!" Black wind blasted from the fan towards Kisame.

The fishlike man cut through the ebony gale with ease.

"Cheh…" Kisame said, "You're as weak as you are annoying"

"If they're really that weak…" Kakashi mused, "Then why are they still alive?"

"Luck?" Kisame asked with a shrug.

"If it is indeed luck," Lee said. "Then you shall die by that luck."

"And if it's not…" Temari said. "You're still fucked."

"Cheh…" Kisame said as he shouldered Samehada. "We'll see about that…now won't we?"

"And if we're so annoying…"

"Shut up Sakura," Kakashi interrupted. "You ARE annoying"

Insert brief clip of everyone, including Kisame, laughing while Sakura wallows in her worthlessness.

"Now that we've all had a good laugh, let's get back to fighting. Shall we?" Kisame said as he rubbed a tear from his eye.

"Indeed." Lee said. "I'm getting tired of the author trying to avoid writing another fight scene." In response to this, the author jumps out from behind a rock.

"I'm not avoiding it… I just…"

TONK was the sound the kunai made as it lodged itself cleanly between the eyes of the author. GWUTHUMP¸ was the sound his lifeless body made as it hit the ground. KZZORT was the sound that the teleporter made as the new author teleported in from Ohio.

"Wow this job is getting dangerous!" The new author said. "Let's get back to fighting!"

As if an author didn't appear, die, and get replaced, the fight resumed. Lee did a back-handspring back towards the cave wall. Using his legs like a spring, he jumped off the wall, flinging himself towards Kisame. Tenten jumped back, taking a scroll out of one of her pouches, and started summoning various weapons to throw at the fishy-ninja. Temari started swinging her giant fan sending slicing winds at fishy-onii-chan (lol). Sakura darted swiftly towards Kisame, brandishing nothing but her fists. Kakashi, took a more defensive position, throwing a few kunai at Kisame, gauging his reaction.

Kisame assessed his situation. He had two ninja, kunai, slicing winds, and various other things flying at him. He smiled.

"Too easy." He said with a smirk. He used Samehada as a shield against the wind, picked every projectile out of the air with just his right hand, kicked Sakura in the face as she was about to punch him, and rammed Lee's head into the ground.

Kakashi looked in shock as the attack just utterly failed. His teammates were battered and bloody…and the battle had only just started.

"So Kakashi." Kisame retorted. "Who's gonna be the first one to die?"

Kakashi looked at him right in the face, smiled, and said…

"You."

LAWLAWLAWL KAKASHIBADASS!!! LAWLAWLAWL
