Juuho Soushiken!
(Kakashi)
Naruto disappeared! His shadow clone puffed out a cloud. How could he have used a jutsu when he wasn't that strong? … Oh that's right he recovers very quickly. The man next to him wasn't surprised… soon enough he was gone too… It was just me, Hinata and Itachi… I could leave Hinata and go after Naruto but… Itachi was too strong... he defeated me in battle once. What would happen to Hinata if I left her here to fight the Itachi!
"Kakashi-sensei…" Hinata took a deep breath and sighed. "I think you should go after Naruto. I'll be fine."
"Eh?!" I exclaimed in shock.
"You think I trained for nothing?" she smiled.
I nodded my head and said, "You trained to become stronger and you are what you've always wanted to be… The strongest of the Hyuuga clan…"
(Hinata)
Kakashi-sensei's words were… the best I've ever heard in my entire life… For someone like him to say that… his words must be true and I was true to my self the entire time… from the chunin exams till now and I always will be. My smile grew wider.
"Thank you Kakashi-san. I am strong I'll defeat Itachi in no time!"
"Ah! (Yeah)" I know she can defeat him. I left Hinata with who she truly was.
(Kakashi)
I found the Rinnegan possessor. Naruto was there too and he was not a clone. Naruto was standing but a little shaky. I immediately stood beside Naruto for protection.
"I am Pain of the rain village…" he introduced himself.
"You're Akatsuki associates must have told you who we were…after the hostile battles we've encountered with them… but you knew who Naruto was all along… he is your aim after all… " I was back to being angry again…
"We already have all Bijuu but two… I need this one and that's what I'm here for"
"I can imagine how strong you are with that Rinnegan power of yours" I said. Why am I complimenting him?!
"I have never lost a battle…"
I don't think Pain is lying…
(Naruto)
Shit this guy has never lost a freaking battle!
"Well you're about to right now!" I roared.
"Hold it Naruto…" Kakashi gave a stopping gesture… as always.
"He's telling the truth…" he whispered.
I looked at him with awe… He's never been this angry before… He's already worn out… more than me!
(Kakashi)
"Kakashi-sensei…" Naruto looked serious. His head was tilted downward a little but his sapphire eyes still looked up at me… "I'll handle this… and don't stop me. I know who I am. I know what I have to do. The Will of fire burns inside me and I have to keep it from going out…" those words of understanding what being a ninja meant just poured out after all I had been through… I thought of Hinata. Her light face flashed in front of my eyes…
"N-naruto!?" what did he say!?
(Naruto)
"Yeah, that's what I said… I don't want more people dying. I'll finish this… now! That Kyuubi isn't coming out today or tomorrow… it'll never… and you're not gonna use it!" I fiercely pointed to Pain… his name can change to Dead for all I care! I empowered myself to fight despite my weak body.
"Tajuu-kagebunshin no jutsu!" three clones appeared. They all forced chakra into my hand. One by one. Plain chakra and Wind element chakra… The two chakra types merged together. Beaming white chakra began to spiral in a shuriken form. The white shuriken shaped attack floated a few centimeters above my hand. I had to do it. My clones distracted Pain and he fought against them. Kakashi-sensei formed a few clones of his own and diverted Pain's attention elsewhere too. He activated his Mangekyou Sharingan… and I used my forbidden attack. My attack was improvised, I had no plan.
I rushed rapidly to Pain and screamed "Rasen… Fuuton Shuriken!!!" yes a direct hit!
The smoke cleared out and Pain was full of very deep paper cuts, more like axe cuts…
He seemed to have no effect despite my powerful jutsu but he was damaged and bleeding! I hate it when that happens... and I hate it when I feel weak after turning Kyuubi… I felt that same weakness now…
"Kusoh (damn it)!" I fell to the ground on my knees. My hands clutching the ground held my body up, supporting it. I was going to pass out but my will power kept me from being swept away by that weakness. Running to Kakashi-sensei I observed his way of kicking butt only because it was slightly different this time. He wasn't himself… Kakashi was like an acquisitive child but in ninja terms. When he saw the opportunity to hit or attack, he did just that. Pain was taking painful blows to all Kakashi's hits but nothing seemed to happen to him! Kakashi was determined that he had to kill this guy; he would never give up like I never did… Pain seemed stoic. A blank expression garbed his true emotions. That guy is creeping me out! I reached to where Kakashi was standing. Pain faced us as we struggled to come up with a plan to at least weaken him. I took action and starkly punched him. He chose to defend himself and caught my fist in his hand. I pushed forward but he wouldn't move! He was now trying to lift me up. I pulled down but he realized I had figured his move out and immediately tossed me into the air. I had no time to jump down to safety and crashed into the tree behind him. It hurt like hell! Ouch! My back was scratched severely and little wooden splinters impaled it. Kakashi stared in awe but had already prepared a Raikiri in his left hand. Pain made some quick hand signs and shouted "Fuinjutsu kyuuin!"
Kakashi-sensei tried to divert his attention from what happened to me but instead he was angered and dashed toward Pain. After announcing his jutsu out loud, Pain raised his arms and waited for the Raikiri to hit him. Kakashi-sensei's Rasengan jammed into Pain's hands. A whitish transparent ball swallowed Kakashi-sensei's Raikiri and separated it from his hand! Kakashi stood paralyzed by what had just happened. The incoming attack was absorbed by the transparent ball. The transparent orb was attached to another transparent orb which circled around Pain's body! The sphere that absorbed Kakashi's Raikiri contained lighting element chakra which was being… directed into Pains body through the other transparent orb! He reversed his own chakra flow and drew the external attack (the Raikiri) deep within his body!
What the fuck! I bet this had something to do entailing his rainbow iridescent eyes.
(Hinata)
I flung at Itachi like a metal flings to a magnet but I didn't intend on attaching myself to him… that thought was weird! The battle was already getting intense even though we hadn't even attacked with jutsus yet, just weaponry! I decided to start the jutsus and began with none other than gentle fist, a close combat attack. Itachi was a little bit of both. He was close a close combat fighter and a distant one too. His genjutsu could count for both… that was the problem. My fists trying to hit him were like fierce snakes' eager to bite it's pray. Itachi pushed himself back away from my painful gentle fist. It really injured him a lot this time! Itachi made a few hand signs and exclaimed "Katon Goukakkyuu no jutsu (Great Fireball technique)!" two of his fingers were near his mouth and blew fire from it. A massive ball of fire rolled its way to me at great speed.
"Hakke Hyakunijuuhachishou (Eight Divination Signs, One-Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms of the Hand)!"
I closed my eyes. My mind cleared all other thoughts and focused on the jutsu. I stood on the largest Yin and Yang circle in the middle. Eight more circles surrounded me. My eyes sprung open with Byakugan layering them.
"Eight trigrams, One-hundred and Twenty-Four Palms!" My opened for real this time and I hit Itachi's technique with my jutsu now stronger than before. My hands rapidly swung at all directions. A twister formed around me. Itachi's fireball pricked my twister and was sent flying over to Itachi! Yes my jutsu worked! The fire ball hit him in surprise. After the fire died down… I saw that his body was cooked like beef! He was bleeding all over… especially his eye!? The grass around me fried and shriveled up. Smoke rose up
(Kakashi)
The jutsu he just performed was... incredibal! He actaully sucked my Raikiri out of my hand and... sucked it back into his body neutralizing it! I need to work faster and increase my speed.
"Banshou Tenin".
(Pain)
This ability allows me to manipulate external objects through an invisible force that emanates from the center of my body. This force attracts and draws in objects or opponents. However the force requires a short interval to recharge. I was only a five to ten meters away from him but it will do.
(Kakashi)
Pain raised an arm. It seemed as if he was... creating an invisible force?! I felt a strange force of energy wave through my body. My feet suddenly moved closer to Pain. My entire body moved toward him... against my will! Some force was pulling me. I tried to stay in place but the invisible force kept drawing me in. Pain was the black hole and I was just an object to be sucked in and destroyed. I dug my heels into the ground but it was no use. A few seconds later I was flying in mid air! My legs and arms dangled behind me. I should hold on to something but what! The idea, not another jutsu, just hit me. I took a long rope with a kunai attached to it out of my ninja pouch and swung it around in circles. Turning my head I looked back at the tree behind me and aimed for it. I swung the rope backwards, it hit a tree branch and the rope looped around the branch. I pulled the rope to make sure it was tight enough for me to hang on to. Clinging to the rope actually worked, Pain's jutsu wasn't that strong... or was it!? My grip tightened as he increased the pulling force. Naruto on the other wasn't flying in the air but was... What the... shit Naruto's going to punch him! Naruto came running at Pain ready with a clenched fist. Pain immediately turned around to attack Naruto and began to pull him but with so much force that it only took Pain a few seconds to diminish the distance between the two! Pain rammed his fist into Naruto's stomach. Blood plashed out and scattered everywhere! Naruto was thrown back to the tree. A cry of pain shot through my ears. Pain wanted Naruto to stay away from any help and I wanted Pain to stay the hell away from Naruto!
Extremely worn out from the last attack, I almost lost hope. I know we can't defeat this guy but I have to do my best!
"Tajukagebunshin no jutsu!" ten clones, all to distract him and strike the light of power… literally. My clones scattered across the emerald and rain drenched ground. They made their way to Itachi. The clones separated for me to attack. I charged power into my hand and slammed a chidori into Pain's body. He took the blow… I could feel my fingers moving through his heart… the blood was moist and watery. I pulled my hand out and… he was…still standing!
"Bastard!"
I even pierced through his heart! He stood in front of me like I was the one hurt here! Blood trickled down but Pain didn't mind one bit! Out of the blue he stretched his arm out and held mine… his grip tightened by the second. My arm began to hurt… then throb… it finally started to bleed! He twisted my arm. It seemed like he was twisting wet clothes. My arm was the cloth… but instead of water coming out blood plopped down on the green grass… just like the Ame (rain)…
(Hinata)
Black fire twisted the little grass strings around me. I noticed that the fire was burning all around me at a certain distance… but it grew smaller and the fire grew larger. The fire slowly closed its circle in on me. "Shugo Hakke Rokujuuyonshou (Guardian Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand)" Chakra emitted from my palms and I moved my arms in sweeping pattern movements to provide a full three sixty degree range of protection for my body. My chakra will also be able to cut through all most any target which dares penetrate my protective sphere. By expelling a sharper, stronger and more flexible amount of chakra, I can increase it's effectiveness against more massive incoming objects. The massive incoming object here was Itachi's black fire jutsu which I'm sure it's the Amaterasu (goddess of the black sun). The fire tried to reach the circle of chakra strings but the strings cut the fire and it gradually diminished. Itachi seemed fed up of my attacks and headed for me. He was soon right next to me and my chakra string cut him deeply. He descended to his knees and then… fell on the wet muddy and blood filled ground. He wasn't dead but that was all I could do for now… I have to help Naruto and Kakashi. Running through the monsoon rain a smile spread across my face. A smile of victory…
(Tobi/Obito)
I watched the Byakugan user run away from Itachi's blood covered body. I waited till she was far from my vision. I leaped to Itachi and turned his body over so he could face me.
"Itachi… Itachi!" He wasn't dead but just hurt badly and to such an extent that he was bleeding non-stop. How much damage did that girl do to him? His eyes were closed and were too bleeding. I can't believe he had to use Amaterasu! I pulled him up from the ground with an arm over my neck. I carried him back to the Akatsuki hideout.
(Hinata)
"Let him go!" I cried. He was twisting Kakashi's arm so horribly that it was bleeding. Kakashi was knelt down on the ground and struggled having to face the pain. I rushed to Kakashi and slammed a fist in the other guys face. He slid across the ground and let go of Kakashi's arm.
"Kakashi-sensei!" I ran to him before the other man could get up. I took a small bottle of my medicine out from my pouch and applied on his arm. It was bleeding badly. I examined his arm further for a broken bone and was astonished… to see that it was actually broken!
"Kakashi-sensei… please don't fight that guy… and you can't… your arm is broken!" his eyes reflected hurt and sorrow.
"Hinata… Pain is… extremely powerful… and… if you defeated Itachi… then he's only one tenth of Pain…" His eyes were closing. It was probably because of chakra exhaustion. Pain must be the guy with Rinnegan. I was doomed if Kakashi-sensei passed out…
"Kakashi-sensei… don't leave me… I don't stand a chance against-" my words were interrupted… by a hug. Kakashi-sensei hugged me with only one arm.
"I'm proud of you… and take care of Naruto" I let go realizing that he wasn't pulling his own weight. He relapsed to the ground. He was out from chakra exhaustion but still… It hurt to see him like this.
"Kakashi-sensei…" I whispered sadly. I put him against a tree like I previously did with Naruto… Naruto! Where is he! My heart was beating so fast that I thought it would probably come out. I turned around… my heart beat was back to normal because he wasn't fighting Pain but I was still worried. I watched Naruto struggling to get up. His back was scrapped. There were splinters in it. His stomach dripped blood. How would I get to Naruto if Pain was in my way? I think I'll start off with weapons. I threw about ten shuriken at him and at the same time signaled to Naruto. The signal meant, get out of there! I wonder if he got the RIGHT message… A clone stood beside him and forced chakra into Naruto's hand… Chakra swirled around in his hand. What is he doing? He started to walk up to… oh crap! He walked up to Pain and rammed a Rasengan in his back. He obviously got the wrong message! Amazement struck our eyes when we saw that the attack only nudged him!
"Naruto get out of there!" I warned him. Naruto jumped over Pain. He grabbed Naruto's leg and swung him over to my side. Naruto found position while flying in the air and landed smoothly right next to me. I could hear Naruto's heavy breathing. He looked a little better than before, when I rescued him from the tower. I can't imagine that Pain beat Naruto and Kakashi-sensei so badly. Pain was one hell of a ninja. He was probably Kage level but I'm about to turn him back to Genin level… which is impossible… but I'll try! I think I'll have to use Taijutsu… I took a deep breath and hoped for the best…
"Juuho Soushiken (Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist)!"
I gathered huge amounts of chakra to my fists. I pulled my arms back as if I was going to push something away with great strength. Spectral lion heads formed around my fists. I skillfully spun towards Pain to avoid any attack and struck him. He flew back and landed on his back. This time he was bleeding heavily and was scratched. He couldn't really get up! It was still raining which made the ground slippery. Thanks to that it was hard for Pain to get up.
"Wow Hinata… nice one!" he was smiling.
"Thanks" I breathlessly said. I was beginning to feel tired and especially after fighting Itachi!
I turned to face Pain… but he wasn't there… he was … behind… Naruto! A sharp pointy Kunai… was what Pain had in his hand… The kunai… was impaled inside… Naruto. I tried to hold back my tears but I they just wet my cheeks and flowed down. A part of me felt like it had died.
"Naruto-kun!" I activated my Byakugan and performed my Juuho Soushiken jutsu again but with more chakra this time. Again I pushed him away but with more force. He slammed right into a tree. He was bleeding even more this time. I looked back at Naruto. Blood gushed from his mouth and back. I had an abundant quantity of medicine with me. So I gave Naruto some medicine to heal his wounds, cuts and bruises. I couldn't give him the sealing medicine because it was too time consuming and there were rules to abide by after you've been treated with it. Now was not the time for this sealing medicine. It was time to kill Pain! I was about to attack but just then a huge crown of people were running behind me. They caught up to me. Everyone was there; Sakura, Shikamaru, Lee, Neji, Tenten, Kiba, Shino, Izumo, Kotetsu, Ino, Chouji, all the senseis, Jounin and Chunin there were in the village.
"Hinata" Shikamaru said in relief. I had to focus on Pain… I didn't turn around to see the mob of ninja but instead I glared at Pain. He was sitting on the floor, still stoic and expressionless. He quickly stood up and before I knew it he was gone. He disappeared in the dark forest behind him. He disappeared in the rain. He was gone but there was still one thing that wasn't gone. My aim to finish Pain!
I sighed and let him take off. I had to take care of Naruto and I couldn't take anymore battle.
"Hinata" Shikamaru repeated. I plopped down next to Kakashi and Naruto. I was thankful this was over. Oh no! We still have to get rid of Tsunade and Jiraya-sama! I still have to give Naruto the medicine!
"You're all hurt badly… here let me heal you all!" Sakura exclaimed.
"M-me too!" Ino added. Ino took care of me. Sakura treated Naruto and Kakashi-sensei.
"Hinata, did you give them some of your medicine?" Sakura politely asked.
"Yeah"
"Well you did a good job of it!" she was surprised.
"Thank you Sakura-chan…" My voice was almost dead. Forget my voice, I was almost dead!
Soon enough Kakashi was miraculously awake and all were healed.
(Kakashi)
I was finally back to normal, up and ready to go. Naruto felt much better and obviously felt better before me… damn you quick recovery! The thought kept coming to me. Obito was still an Akatsuki member and I let him go. I should have stopped him! What could I do… he was way stronger than me… We headed for Konoha but there was still one thing that troubled me…
