"This one is even more powerful than the others,"

The 'small' -if it could even be classified as such being the size of a grown man- dragon flapped its wings to dislodge itself out of the larger dragons mouth and plummeted with little control toward Sasuke. Hitting the ground it did what all explosives do, it exploded, and Sasuke did what he had done this entire fight.

He jumped backwards after barely managing to miss being hit, only this time he wasn't lucky enough to substitute his way out, as his foot sunk into the ground and a bright light surrounded him.

"Gottcha," Deidara grinned, gliding his creation over the cloud the blast from the mine had created,"Is he dead? yeah,"

Through the lightening cover of smoke and dust Deidara gapped at the sight of a winged, long haired teenager in place of the youngest Uchiha. He 'ch'd',"Orochimaru's curse seal," he grumbled,"He even has wings, to think he dodge the explosion just by flying around,"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, the ground a hundred yards away from him cracking before the other Akatsuki popped out like a daisy out of the snow.

"Deidara! The traps are all set!," The masked ninja called to his partner.

The blond nodded,"Well done, now get out of here!,"

Madara used the ground around him to lift himself out the hole and take off running to the tree line.

Sasuke turned his attention from the running masked man back to the bomber circling like a vulture from above,'Guided bombs from above and landmine's below, they thought this through,' he thought somewhat bitterly.

Slowly he came to the realization that this wasn't a random run in -not like he ever thought it was to begin with - They sought him out. By why? What does the Akatsuki want with him? or was it even the Akastuki at all. Was it just this man and his partner.

"The C2 mines restrict your movement on the ground, giving me more accuracy from up here, yeah, watch your step Uchiha, one wrong move and you'll blow yourself up," Deidara said smugly.

The youngest Uhciha snorted,"What a cheap move," he said loud enough for the Iwa to hear.
It was faint but his words did meet Deidara's ears,"Hmm?,

Sasuke went on to explain,"Pinning me in one place so your attacks will hit, hovering just out of my attack range...It's cheap, like stabbing someone in the back," he smirked maliciously, knowing that he hit a nerve.

The only thing this Akatsuki had used in their entire fight were those clay monsters of his and he boasted about them like they were the best thing in all the five nations. If insulting them didn't get him to lose his temper like Sasuke wanted him to, nothing would.

Deidara stared at him oddly, before bursting out in a full blown hearty laugh,"Isn't that laughable! An Uchiha lecturing me on fair fighting! hmm," he wiped his eyes were a small tear had collected. He shifted his hand into his detonation sign, still laughing lightly,"i wonder how well you will fair, dodging my art with those injured feet of yours,"

Sasuke once again witnessed sections of the dragons tail vanish, only this time it was two instead of only one. If the others had been as large as they were with just one section of clay, how large would this one be with two?

His question was answered when the dragons mouth filled up so much that it was forced open by the expanding creation inside. Another dragon the same size as the largest dragons head.

The young raven stretched his wings, waiting for the right moment to take off.

"Like I'll let you fly off!," The smaller clay dragon shot out of the cavern like a rocket, narrowing in, "KATSU!,"

The explosion was gigantic, ten times larger than the rest of them had been. Madara -standing on a branch-rose his arms to shield himself from the bright fire ball.

Despite the size of the blast and the power that went along with it, Sasuke had once again cheated death, though he had lost his sword -which landed a few feet away and buried in the earth, sparking and ringing like a bell- and something very important to his curse seal state.

"You used one your wings to shield yourself," Deidara took in the sight of the burnt bleeding stump were one of the Uchiha's wings used to be on his back,"looks like you can't fly anymore," he smirked.

"He's getting in quite a few hits, it'll be interesting to see how long he can keep it up before I have to step in," Madara said leaning up against the trunk of teh tree on which he was perched.

Sasuke wasn't going to put up with Deidara's cockiness, he was going to show off his abilities too, even if he was missing a wing. And something told Madara that by the end of this fight, one of them was going to be pushed to the breaking point.

"I'll put you out of your misery with this one, hmm," he heard Deidara say, creating another large mini dragon -as confusing as that is-.

With the grim reaper literally looking him in the eye Sasuke pushed through the pain he felt in his back, to pull the threads that he had attached to two of his most favorite weapons earlier.

Two giant shurikens came flying at the blond from behind him, one heading towards both shoulders. Deidara maneuvered his giant creation out of their way, dodging them with ease, with nothing to hit they simply buried into the ground.

"You thought something like THAT would hit me? yeah," Deidara scoffed in a slightly offended tone.

Unknown to the terrorist Sasuke had used that time to stand up and ready himself to dodge the explosive he knew was coming his way.

When Deidara released it and with it barreling towards him, the ex Konoha ninja leaped to the side, out of his little crater, using his one wing to give him enough momentum to glide just above the ground.

Deidara couldn't believe his eyes, the little fool was opening himself up to both of the dangers that opposed him,"There's no place for a foothold, that was your safe zone, the second you land you'll be blown to shit!,"

Sasuke planted his foot on the hilt of sword, his hand sparking as his chidori blade expanded.

"He used the sword as a foothold, that's quite clever," Madara commented, not noticing just how close Deidara and Sasuke were now, until the chidori blade sliced through the dragons wing, throwing off its balance. Meaning It was going down, fast.

'He threw his sword on purpose and he used the momentum his remaining wing gave him to reach it,' Deidara thought as his creation plummeted.

Sasuke once again tugged on the wires that connected him to the two giant shuriken that he used as a diversion tact, sending them back towards the bomber, only this time -while they didn't hit their mark- they did make a hit, slicing through his forearms and pinning him to the dragon.

The position wasn't random, he waited until Deidara was directly over and made his move, that way Dei wouldn't be able to avoid the blade. That was the conclusion the elder Uchiha made, as he leaped form his tree.

"I can't move," Deidara hissed through his teeth, tugging his arms though it was no use he couldn't even move them,"Shit,"

Madara halted, not sure what to do. He could leave Deidara and see if he could escape himself or he could try to use his teleportation technique.

You know the one that sputtered out during his fight with TaiTai -still bullshit-.

Even from where he was standing he could still see the pain on Dei's face, there wasn't any second thoughts, the swirls around his eye hole expanded and in a flash he was on the dragon with his partner, who's face was frozen.

Gee, the elder couldn't figure out why *sarcasm*

But there was no time to monologue (A/N: There's always time!) he had to get Deidara up and moving again before they both hit the ground, thinking about this right now was seriously taking up too much time.
Fuck he couldn't stop!

"Stay still," he commanded, looking over the weapons pinning Deidara down, said boy sputtered for a moment.

"The bombs!-,"

"Stay still!," Madara looped his hands through the holes in the centers of the over sized shuriken. This would have to do, 'Don't hold it against me,'

The dragon hit the ground with an earth shaking thud, the sheer mass of the dragon was too much for the clay mines buried beneath the surface. They set off, sending fiery pillars sky wards.

"Two birds with one stone," Sasuke said stoically, his skin returning to its normal pale tone, hair short and spiky.

Clouds of smoke rising from the sites of the blasts. He narrowed his eyes over his shoulder when a shadow emerged from their gray depths. He hn'd with a shrug of his shoulder, "Stubborn fools,"

"Be more careful would you!," the masked ones voice bellowed.

"Shut up already!," Deidara yelled back just as they broke free of the cloud, planting a foot in Madara's side he pushed said man off the bird.

And Madara fell off because...Because he let himself fall off! that's right, he fell and smacked the ground so hard the birds -too stupid to fly away from a massive explosion- flee' d from the trees at the sound of the impact on purpose!

And he asked for the bruise he could feel forming on his ribs, right hip, right arm -basically the entire right side of his body- too. Even so he couldn't hold in the small groan. It had been worth it, being for Madara's feelings.

Or whatever it was he had inside him now.

Saving Dei gave him a warm feeling, not unlike the one he felt when he was alone with Dei when they were close, but it wasn't awkward like that feeling.

No, not at all. In fact, he could learn to embrace this new emotion. If only he knew what it was called.

Deidara didn't spare him a single glance or any sympathy at all, he was too busy cursing the youngest Uchiha, swearing his vendetta even beyond his un dug grave.

Make him look like a fool, he would show Sasuke.

he would show THEM.

"You damn kid," he growled, catching Sasuke's sharingan in his sights.

Those eyes.

Those were the same eyes he had.

Madara pushed himself up with a low grunt and started sweeping the dust from his clothes with his hands as he knelt on the ground. He looked up to Deidara, curious as to why he stopped his assault after so brutishly kicking him off the bird, having been too caught up in his own inner monologue and thoughts to be aware of it sooner.

That's when he noticed the eye lock Sasuke and Deidara were in, the blond's face seemed to be getting redder and redder with every second that passed, while the young raven's held only mild annoyance accompanied by dead shark like eyes.

And then Madara knew why the short fused firework had stopped, he was stuck in his mind, reminiscing on the past. Remembering his fight with Itachi.

Something the eldest Uchiha recalled just as vividly, though he had only seen it through Zetsu's eyes.
Deidara hated himself for marveling Itachi's ability to defeat him, he saw the genjutsu he had trapped him in as beautiful. The sharingan had created something that made him stare in awe, stare at something that wasn't his own creation, which he had slaved over to perfect.

His heart and soul went into every one of his creations, and yet Uchiha's could do whatever they wanted with their eyes, could see whatever they wanted and create anything they wanted. Simply because they were blessed with the Kekkei genkai and larger amounts of chakra.

That was why he didn't treat Madara any better or any worse when he found that Tobi was nothing more than a ruse, he simply saw no reason to treat him differently having never seen one of the many things he hated about Uchiha's the most on his partners much more rugged features.

Sasuke on the other hand did exactly what would be expected of a cocky kid that didn't know any better. He showed Dei why he should and why he DID hate the sharingan.

Deidara put everything into his art, he believed in it, Sasuke screwed that all up simply by opening his eyes.

"I won't lose,",As if he wanted to prove his desperation to defeat the boy Deidara reached into the pouch on his left hip and pulled out the entire clump, biting of pieces and swallowing until it was all gone.

Madara blinked, surprise written all over his masked face,"He ate it," This was NOT looking good .For any of them, it was teetering on the breaking point of insanity.

"You won't survive this! yeah," Deidara clapped his hands and weaved the hand signs he needed for his next technique, he reeled back,"Madara, get back!,"

Madara took a couple steps backwards, not taking his eye off the blond. Frowning when he lurched forward and the moistened clay spilled out of his mouth.

It collected seemingly mid air, bubbling just as the clay soldiers he had created only on a much larger scale.

"C4 karura,"

Not only was this explosive extremely large (towering over the trees with absolute ease), it was also shaped in the artists image, unlike the clay soldiers who technically had no real form at all.

"If that thing explodes, I'm done for," Sasuke whispered in awe.

"Great now there's two of them," Madara said with a deadpanned expression. On the inside he was leaping for what he figured must be joy, Great! another Deidara!...

He didn't like that emotion very much.

Was too TaiTai/Tobi-ish. (A/N: there's the one joke you guys get this chapter :( ...)

The giant C4 Deidara started moving into the forest, its footsteps sending tremors through the earth, its body mass pulling up trees as it went along. Based on assumption -common sense- it was probably heading after Sasuke who had presumably taken off in the direction the explosive was going in an attempt to escape it.

Madara jumped into the trees at the sound of the giants footsteps halting, climbing to the top and poking his head through the leaf cover he saw the C4 karura standing in place, he looked to Deidara just in time to see him clap his hands.

The elder tilted his head at the sight of the bomb expanding as if it were a balloon until it finally popped. But there was no explosion.

No, there was no blast, only a release of a few billion tiny enemies that only he could see now that he had his sharingan activated.

Sasuke would have suspected it to be a dud at first but Madara knew better than to think that he would be that dense. He would have noticed Deidara dropping back and rising higher into the air he also would have noticed that the bomber was maintaining that height, not dropping down not flying any closer.

Seemed suspicious.

Not that Deidara would have cared even if he did realize that, he was having too much fun, carrying out his vendetta on Sasuke, since Orochimaru was gone.

"Art is a bang! yeah. KATSU!," all was quiet.

By Madara's foot a small lizard that had been crawling around flicking it tongue, was being broken down bit by bit. Its very existence vanishing with a gust of wind.

"Tiny nano sized bombs, released and spread out by the exploding karura, breathed in by everything and upon detonation begins to destroy whatever inhaled it on a cellular level,"

Sasuke's eyes widened, fear clear on his face as he looked over his shoulder, his hands turning to flakes as thin as rice paper before his very eyes. .

"And rips the victim apart cell by cell,"

The youngest raven vanished, like all the other creatures, unaware of the danger they were in.

Madara 'hmphed', his mouth twitching upwards, "Quite the jutsu, it's almost terrifying,"

On his bird Deidara's face was copying his partners as he brushed his long bang out from in front of his eye, the scope that usually covered it long gone, lost along with his cloak, "Guess I will have to thank Itachi later, yeah," His left eye opened and focused, his pupil constricting at the sudden intrusion of light.

A weak but still somehow strong laugh of victory passed his lips,"I WON! my art-,"

Pain cut him off and the sound of a chirping birds filled the would be silence.

Deidara blinked and warily looked over his shoulder to the owner of the arm now protruding from his chest who spoke with an unnervingly calm voice, "Seems you've used up quite a bit of your chakra with that last technique, you've gotten slow," he twisted his arm, causing the blond to wince, "Those tiny bombs of yours are invisible to the naked eye, but with my sharingan I can see and distinguish chakra by color. You loaded those microscopic bombs with your chakra and because of that I could see them as vividly as a veil of mist,"

Deidara bit his lip to keep himself in control, but it didn't seem to help as Sasuke went on in his explanation of how he avoided one of the Iwa's most deadly techniques.

"At first I wasn't sure what they were, but when I noticed you hovering just out their range..." The youngest Uchiha trailed off, letting Deidara fill in the blanks himself.

Shaking his head the pyro growled,"Those damn eyes...YOU KNEW! yeah,"

"Let's just say I had a hunch and it was right. Being able to see the bombs gave me the advantage and escaping was a piece of cake,"

"But I saw you die,"

"That was my-,"

"-His genjutsu. Too bad it was a wasted effort," Madara grumbled, raking a hand through his hair.

This would only drive Deidara to become more reckless with his creations, he was already up to C4 and the fight had only been going on for maybe an hour, at the most. At this rate there was no telling how much longer it would be until his sanity brakes.

With the next couple of seconds ticking by...

The sparks flying from Sasuke's hand stopped falling, shock spreading over his features. Attached to his leg the tan hand of Deidara, smiling madly. The raven looked to the soft body his arm was still entrapped in,"A clay clone," he spat.

It seemed such a worry was still premature.

"I knew it, you're just like itachi. I waited for you to use your genjutsu you fool! You honestly believe I would be fooled by the same trick TWICE?~!," Deidara clenched Sasuke's leg tightly.

Madara frowned, he could barely make out what the two were saying from where he was, what he did understand made him shudder,"Ever since his fight with Itachi he's been training his left eye to counter the sharingan," But as he has said before, it was a menial attempt.

Such a simple thing wouldn't win him the battle. In the end, all things fall to the sharingan's might.

"This time it's over for real!," the bomber laughed again, pulling at the struggling boy. He rolled his tongue collecting the clay left over from the creation of Karura and chewed. Sasuke tugged his foot even harder as a black bubble escaped his captors mouth and began to grow around his body, enveloping him until he was in darkness. 'extra insurance' binds appearing and wrapping around his legs and arm, holding him in place.

With his chakra levels spars -he only had enough for one more strong justu- he couldn't do much, except calm down and wait for the moment he needed.

Deidara, pushed off the bird by the expanding art work, grabbed onto the black squishy surface and tore the tie between him and his creation with his teeth,"Would you look at that, you don't even have the strength to break free! looks like YOU are the one who used up too much chakra! yeah," he pushed off, flying backwards,"The invisible C4 bombs are coursing through the air in there, hmm," he said, clenching and opening his fist.

Deidara hissed in displeasure at the bird his hand spit up, "A dud," it was pathetic looking, lop sided, and ugly. It would not do! he tossed it off to the side.

Madara watched the little bird glide over his head and fall into the forest, 'he must be running low on chakra,'
Deidara grasped the wound on his right forearm, feeling it pulse in time with his heartbeat. Distracted he was unaware of Sasuke's free movement until he burst out the clay work, his hand for the fourth time that day alight with his most favored jutsu, the once burned and bloody stump of awing on his back reborn in the form of multiple snakes.

Sasuke flexed his most useful wing to turn himself toward Deidara, hand reached out toward the bomber like the grim reapers hand would reach out to a dying samurai on the battlefield.

Deidara's face lit up knowingly,"You're extended blade is out of range, yeah. You can't hit me," he brought up his hand, letting the mouth show off its wiggling tongue,"KATSU!,"

Madara internally winced when the golden haired teenagers body lost its height and momentum, gravity quickly reminding him of just how brutal it could be as he slammed into tree branches on his way back down to earth.

Deidara landed on the ground with a muffled thud, groaning in pain he pushed himself up, wrenching open an eye to see one of the snakes that made up Sasuke's false wing become dust.
He broke out into a triumphant smile and staggered to his feet. His partner landing on a limb above him,

"Deidara are you okay?," he called down.

Deidara didn't answer his question but he did give a small laugh in its stead, he turned to Madara with a face full of excitement and pride, it reminded the elder of just how child like Dei could be sometimes,"I did it! yeah,"

But Madara couldn't smile back, he refused to speak, knowing that somewhere hidden within the trees Sasuke was waiting. His stiff , ready to leap posture and sudden silence made the younger ninja tune his ears too, though he kept a smile on his face. He had won, the victory was his, the Uchiha's obsessive nature to protect or whatever he thought he did wouldn't ruin the moment for the bomber.

Sasuke's sparking body flying through the leaves, fist headed strait for Deidara's face however did make that smile crumble away.

Though it was replaced with the shock he couldn't(wouldn't) express earlier on the dragon, as Madara stood in front of his rather small form, hand covering/holding the youngest Uchiha's fist firmly in place, far away from Deidara.

The fight had been Deidara's, Madara had no place to intervene unless he felt it was necessary. Now that he was aware he could teleport again, it would do nothing except raise questions seeing as Deidara would do whatever the hell he wanted to anyway. This however was a crap shot, compeletly un honorable! Intolerable for an Uchiha.

"Red," Sasuke looked surprised and his it showed in his voice as well, after it pushed through the pain he felt throughout his bruised and battered body. Unbeknownst to Deidara and the youngest Uchiha that simple word made Madara copy his expression.

Small chirps continued to make their way out of the mans throat as his lips pulled up in a devilish smirk,"Red,"

Madara shook his head free of that things face, opening back up to listen to Deidara's hysteria.

"This is no illusion," ...Hysteria?,"How did you avoid my C4?~!," there it was. Deidara gapped,"Don't tell me you...You noticed," he said slowly.

The tiny raven shoulders rose,"Hn, I figured it out a while ago. When you're up against a sharingan user you should make sure you hide your hand seals. No matter how quickly you form them," Sasuke started.

"The sharingan can still see them,"Madara made it his place to finish,"He saw how all most all of your jutsu were Earth Element. The chidori and raikiri are lightning elements,"

Sasuke nodded,"Earth is weak against Lightning, I used my chidori to turn your bombs into duds. Without them you're useless,"

he had all the answers didn't he? Deidara felt like bashing in the bastards girly face. Show him just how 'useless' he was.

Madara went on,"His Chidori a few moments ago was to deactivate the bombs in his system. It wasn't like it didn't screw him over too though, isn't that right Sasuke?," he looked at the boy then peered over his shoulder at Deidara when he spoke.

"When did you find out?,"

Sasuke smirked smugly,"After I got hit by the mines," Madara squeezing his fist brought it back down to a pain filled grimace.

"So he'll have you believe, truthfully an Uchiha never goes into battle blind, the second they engage in combat they are analyzing every move their opponent makes. When he pierced your first attacks with his Chidori senbon," the youngest blinked, "A few of them didn't go off, the only one that did was the one you threw at him to avoid his counterattack, that was when he came to a conclusion,"

"A conclusion?," Deidara eyed Sasuke from around the masked ninja's body.

"You chose not to set them off because they landed near your partner," he shifted his gaze to glare at said partner.

Madara remained still.

"So you didn't know if I was holding back or if your senbon had disabled them, I see, that's why you used the mines to make sure,"

"Exactly. I let myself fall into your 'trap' because I needed to prove my hunch correct, that's why I threw my sword. Not to check if there was a mine there but to see what would happen to the bomb I knew was there would deactivate, seeing as my sword was infused with Chidori,"

"But how did you know where the mines were?~!," Deidara demanded.

The elder shook his head,"Dei he already explained it, the sharingan can distinguish chakra by its color. Your masterpieces never stood a chance against his eyes,"

Forced to stop the blond held back his retort. Though there was one more thing he needed to know,"One more question! if your theory was wrong and the lightning didn't disable them, what would you have done then? yeah,"

Madara turned his head to look at Sasuke, he was also curious about the youngest raven's plan B.

"It's a waste of breath explaining it to you, seeing as I didn't need to use it," but it seemed he was willing to tell them, "I answered your questions now you answer mine," Sasuke pulled back his fist when he felt the masked ones grip loosen.

"Where is Itachi?,"

"You barely have enough chakra to keep yourself standing. No matter how cool you try to act, you can't even catch your breath now, you are nothing,", Deidara said, his anger swelling, becoming almost uncontrollable.

He used the last bit of his chakra to create and control two long snake like beings, that shot out of his hand mouths, between Madara's legs and wrapped around sasuke's ankles(A/N: Man his legs are taking some serious abuse.)

"I have won after all, yeah," Though they were weak and would've done nothing more than burn Sasuke's legs Deidara fell onto one knee and began to pant, his chakra worn as thin as it could be, "Try to express a little worry you bastard would you? hmm," the boys stoic as ever face was pissing him off!, "You're ruining the moment. There is no doubt my art will end you this time! It's okay to be scared,"

The youngest Uchiha was getting close to being the same way as his enemy, but he still had one more shot of chidori stream up his sleeve, which he sent through his body into the binds, causing Deidara to release them so he wouldn't get zapped himself.

It was clear neither of them were going to last long at this rate.

Madara felt what he guessed would be called guilt over letting his Deidara work himself over like this, he opened his mouth to speak. He wanted to tell Deidara that they should retreat -he would answer questions later-, he turned to him, snapping his mouth back shut immediately.

Deidara fists were clenched and his jaw was locked in rage, curses bubbling in the back of his throat,"That...Is what, I HATE about you bastards. You think you're so much better than everyone else, your eyes reject my art! they piss me off! but you know what you cocksucker?~! In the end, it is those eyes that will stare in admiration over my artistic ability! hmm," he screeched.

Sasuke let his eyes fade from red to dark brown,"You think I give a damn about any of that. Now tell me what you know about Itachi,"

With that simple statement the blonds sanity finally scattered across the ground in a million tiny crystal pieces, he was going to make sure he killed the Uchiha and Madara knew there was nothing he could do stop him.

He was going to bring out his trump card.

"You even deactivated your sharingan...Just how much do you underestimate me?~!," Deidara gripped the collar of his shirt.

"Deidara don't!," Madara felt his hands start to shake slightly in anticipation.

Should he stop him?...Tackle him? teleport him away?

The bomber ripped off his shirt, tossing it randomly off to the side.

No then Deidara would hate him.

Sasuke's body quivered, a chill running up his spine. His eyes running along the stitched up mouth Deidara had over his heart.

But if he let him die...

Madara would be alone again.

Deidara lifted his hand, letting the mouth on it chew through the starting stitch and grab on, pulling his hand back the long thread followed.

Going through everything he went through for nothing! It was all so fucking pointless. Nothing he did made his bomber like him anymore than he ever had, while his own feelings...

The mouth bursted open, wiggling waving around its tongue, tasting the heavy air like a snake.

It was as if they were trying to get back at him for all the evil things he had ever done in his life.

Deidara dumped out the remianing clay he had in his pouches and held it up to the mouth, it took huge bites out of it, feeding on it.

From his master plan to the several other minor plans already carried out by Nagato and the others.

The more clay the mouth consumed, the more black lines appeared on the blonds body.

All of this suffering over one person that didn't give a damn.

The vein like lines stretched from the growing black hole on his chest all the way to fingers and feet.

Had everything he did to save Deidara in the first place been nothing but a mistake...

The clay now gone the mouth licked the almost completely invisible area around itself,"Behold my ultimate piece of art, yeah. With this jutsu I will die and become art itself! the explosion will scar the land for centuries, it will be like nothing else ever seen before!," Madara was frozen in place,"Then my art will finally get the recognition it deserves!,"

'Forgive me Madara,'

"Ten Kilometers (6 miles)...That's how far the blast will stretch," The black lines spread all over his body began to recede into the form appearing around the mouth on his chest,"Start running runt, I like the thrill of a good chase," Deidara's smirking face began to fade, "Cower in fear," Sasuke shakily tried to stand while Madara racked his brain,"Drop to your knees and marvel! Cry your heart out," The lone floating black stringy orb split down the center, cracks branching off of it, allowing beams of light to shine through,"Because my art,"

There was a chance...There had to be! Madara just had to time it.

KATSU!

A beam of light shot into the heavens and expanded, quickly enveloping everything in its devastating heat. For a brief moment the now partially blinded Madara -barely managing to pry his eye open without being overwhelmed by pain- saw a flicker.

There.

"IS A BANG!,"

TBC!

This one sucks soooooo bad T_T Part 1 then part 2 = huge difference! Thank you for reading! I love you all! Yes all five of you :D
