Hi there! I'm back, so here's my third chapter!

The three jumped out of the water pretty mysteriously. They ran off of the surface and headed in the direction of the village hidden in the sand.
"How long will this take?"
Hidan asked. Konan turned to look at him.
"A few hours."
She said.
"Aw man, that rally sucks!"
Hidan complained.
"I think we should take form of dogs, just in case of any others."
Konan said.
"What do you mean 'others'?"
Hidan asked.
"Just do it."
Konan said, turning into a dark blue dog with a white flower by her ear. Hidan did the same, turning into a gray dog wielding a huge scythe and the Jashin necklace. The three did make it through obstacles easier and ran faster than their human bodies offered.

Suna slowly came into view as the three sped up for its direction.
"Almost there!"
Konan said. Then three sand shinobi jumped in front of them, causing the three to skid to a stop.
"Sorry puppies, but you can't get anywhere closer to Suna."
One said gruffly. Hidan growled at him.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't tell me what to do!"
He barked and then charged at them, poofing his scythe up to the scene and grabbing it with his mouth. Hidan spun around, nearly slicing his enemy. The man jumped back and noticed that he was cut slightly. Hidan jumped 100 yards back and set the scythe on the ground. He gave it a small sniff, and licked the blood. Hidan smirked and took his skeletal form. He then bit his own paw with his powerful jaws. Now that hurt more than stabbing his hand. Blood dripped onto the ground and he drew the diagram on the ground carefully. His smirk turned into a wicked smile and he howled. The man that was cut charged carelessly."Bad move."
Konan said with a smirk. Hidan lowered his head until it was almost touching the ground. The man was 50 yards from Hidan.
"Why isn't he doing anything?"
Konan asked, turning to Kakuzu.
"Maybe the ten years in the pit did a number on him."
Kakuzu said. Hidan lifted his left paw and bit his arm with full force. The man stopped running and held his arm.
"What happened?"
He asked himself. Hidan looked at the man. 'I can't reach every part of my body.' He thought.
"Kakuzu, Konan, help me out!"
He yelled over his shoulder.
"Wow he never asks for this. The pit DID work."
Kakuzu said as threads shot out of his body and constricted Hidans back legs tightly. Their enemy grunted in pain, as Konan had paper shuriken fly in Hidans direction, cutting him everywhere.
"Come on, I know you're better!"
Hidan yelled. Kakuzu and Konan stopped their far ranged attacks and raced up to Hidan. Konan hesitantly bit him in the back leg as Kakuzu jumped into the air and snapped at Hidans neck. Konan stood firmly on the ground so Hidan wouldn't fall out of the symbol.
"Ready?"
Kakuzu asked, clamping to the back of Hidans neck tightly.
"Yeah…"
Hidan grunted.
"Good luck."
Konan muffled through his back leg. Kakuzu roughly ripped the skin off of Hidans neck, blood flying everywhere. Their foe shrieked in pain and died soon after. The two let go of Hidan and backed up a foot or two.
"Nice teamwork."
Konan said as Kakuzu sat and nodded.
"It's not over yet."
Hidan panted. Konan looked worriedly at the other two sand shinobi.
"You gonna make it?"
Konan asked. Hidan nodded. Another sand shinobi charged at them, but with more caution. Kakuzu looked up and charged at him. Their foe took out a kunai.
"Okay Jen, lets do the usual!"
He called. His partner, Jen nodded and charged with a kunai also in his hand.
"Okay Huno, lets get things done, for Ko!"
Jen said with anger in his eyes. Huno threw the kunai and another kunai with a paper bomb attached to it. Kakuzu dodged the first Kunai and was his by the second. The second kunai sat in his flesh for a moment. Konan crouched down into a dogs fighting position and paper shuriken flew at Kakuzu, cutting the paper bomb off. Kakuzu quickly jumped away from the piece of paper and it soon exploded. Jen appeared through the smoke, throwing a barrage of kunai. The three jumped through the blizzard of kunai and got cut a little. Konan sent more paper shuriken at Jen and disappeared in a flock of paper. Jen dodged the paper but was kicked in the stomach by Konan who reappeared. Konan landed on top of Jen and bit him on the back of his neck. Jen quickly tossed Konan off of his body and struggled to his feet. Konan raced to Jen and jumped. Jen smirked. Hidans eyes widened as he saw that he was preparing an exploding shadow clone. Hidan quickly ran up to them and head butt Konan on her side, knocking her to the side. The clone exploded, making Konan fly back a little more. Kakuzu lowered his chest and head close to the ground for better posture. Once the shockwave was over, Konan and Kakuzu looked up. There was no Hidan, no Jen and no Huno.
"Hidan?"
Konan called. She then stood up and walked around.
"Hidan!?"
She called again. Kakuzu looked up into the sky and his eyes widened. Jen was about to smash Hidan into the ground and Huno was tossing a lot of kunais with explosive tags on them onto the landing spot. Jen then jumped away from Hidan and Hidan landed in the field of kunai and explosive tags. Just as the tags blew up, the two heard a sharp yelp. Konan looked away sadly at the sound.
"Don't worry, he's still immortal okay?"
Kakuzu said to Konan worried a little himself. Konan looked at the huge puff of smoke again. It cleared a minute later, this time Hidan on the ground. No body parts were decapitated. Jen walked up to Hidans body.
"Heh, stupid dog. Here's a lesson for killing our friend!"
Jen said and swung a sword at Hidan. Hidan sprung back to life and grabbed the swords edge with his jaws getting cut. He growled, curling his lips showing off some fangs. Konan dashed to Hidan aid and tackled Jen. Jen fell back and Huno tossed some kunai at the two. Kakuzu grabbed Hidans scythe and ran up to the scene. He spun around, deflecting the kunais with Hidans scythe. Konan jumped next to Kakuzu.
"What do we do now?"
She asked as Kakuzu dropped the scythe. Jen charged with more kunai and bombs.
"That's getting pretty old."
Kakuzu called as he picked the scythe up again and charged. Jen decided to see if close combat would work better. He was then struck by the three blades on the large scythe. Kakuzu stopped running, turned and stopped after doing a half circle, tossing Jen off of the blades. Jen had a huge gash on his stomach and died. Huno looked at the sandy ground in anger.
"Okay, this is it doggies…"
He said and took out a sword.
"You're going down…"
He said and charged at Kakuzu. Kakuzu dropped the scythe and charged at Huno. Konan ran to his side, grabbing the scythe on her way. Huno smirked and whipped the sword in front of Kakuzus nose, barely even touching him, but enough to draw blood. Huno smirked and made hand signs with one hand.
"Bring it."
Huno said.
"Aura style, aura winds!"
Huno called.
"There's such thing as and aura style?!"
Konan called as a huge wind whipped up and slowly yet powerfully made its way to Kakuzu. The gust made a tornado with many colors in it. Kakuzu lowered his body to the ground, trying not to be dragged. Konan growled and stood in front of Kakuzu, being dragged in slowly.
"I'm not gonna lose you two again."
She said coldly. The tornados wind picked Konan off of the ground, tossing her around. She was blown out of the gust and hit the ground, turning back into her human form. Kakuzu looked up at the huge tornado as it inched closer. Kakuzu then spotted Hidan scythe and dug the blades into the ground and tied the cord around his back legs. Hidan slowly limped to Kakuzus side. Kakuzu looked at his bloody partner.
"I'm not gonna lose you either."
He said and looked up at the large gust of colors. Kakuzu looked at Hidan. What was going on? Hidan never did this; he never wanted to keep Kakuzu safe. Was this Hidan? Kakuzus snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Hidan jump high above the tornado. Huno looked up and made a different hand sign, turning the huge tornado into a colored wind version of Hidan, even with the necklace and the scythe. Kakuzu untangled himself from the cord and tossed the scythe into the air for Hidan. Hidan caught it and flipped making the blades of the scythe slice past his wind version. His wind version dodged it and kicked him on the head with its back paw. The two flew to the ground and hit it with a loud crash, making sand blow everywhere. Kakuzu closed his eyes and Konan walked up to him, transforming back into her dog form. The dust cleared as Kakuzu and Konan saw Hidan fighting his wind version. Both clashing the scythes together and jumping back. Huno made more hand signs and wind clones of Konan and Kakuzu appeared and charged at the two. Kakuzu tackled his wind form and it disappeared in a harsh breeze and reappeared behind him.
"How can we beat them?"
Konan called over her shoulder after dodging wind shuriken. Kakuzu shrugged and dodged his wind clones threads. A long drawn out yelp of pure pain made Konan and Kakuzu stop. They turned to look at Hidan and saw the wind clone biting his neck and slowly fusing into his body. Konan gasped and was speechless.
"Wha-?"
Konan started, but was at loss of words. Hidans wind clone was soon fully sucked into Hidans body and Hidans head drooped. Then his eyes flashed open, but not with his usual lavender, but with a blood red. His eyes slowly returned to their normal color and Huno retreated with a smirk.
"Are you okay?!"
Konan said running up to Hidans side. Hidan looked at Konan.
"I'm just fine, I can beat that f*ckn' wind clone."
He said with a friendly grin. Kakuzu and Konans wind clones disappeared when Huno had run off.
"But, that wind clone…"
Konan started, but couldn't find the correct words. Hidan laughed.
"It wasn't that hard to beat it."
Hidan said. Konan smiled.
"Okay, lets continue to Suna."
Konan said and began to walk in the direction of the village with Kakuzu and Hidan slowly trailing behind.

All right! I think I've already got the next chapter planned out, but I'm gonna plan it over night, so it might come tomorrow or tonight. My parents are out of the house, so it's only me and my little brother.
