Somewhere in the Land of Fire.
"We're all accounted for." Kakashi said after the mission to break the leaf ninja out of the Anbu detention center was a success. All the leaf ninja were out of prison, though they all were still rogue and Anbu might try to come back so Kakashi devises a plan.
"So what do we do now, Kakashi-sensei." Sakura asks her sensei.
"Well as long as Danzo has control over the village we'll first need a base of operations, I think here will do." Kakashi took out a map and pointed to a spot in the Land of Fire.
"Uzushiogakure, the birthplace of the Uzumaki clan." Jiraiya stated, he had read about it before with Naruto
"Naruto's home before Konoha." Tsunade added.
"Why there?" Guy asks.
"Because it's been abandoned for so long that the not Akatsuki nor Danzo would think to look for us there." Kakashi tells his rival back, out of the 2 Kakashi was the more smart one.
"Okay then to Uzushiogakure!" Jiraiya states as he walks off into the woods that looked dark and kind of dangerous.
Tsunade grabs his ear and drags him back. "Ow, ow, ow, hey!" Jiraiya says while his ear throbs.
"Uzushiogakure is that way!" Tsunade points in the opposite direction of Jiraiya, through a light plain meadow.
"Oh yeah I knew that." Jiraiya shrugs his shoulders and puts his hand on the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Hehehehehehaha." Everyone chuckles at this.
"Okay to Uzushiogakure!" Jiraiya recovers quickly and says that walking the right way this time.
"Still the same old Jiraiya." Tsunade says to Kakashi.
"Still the same." Kakashi says for emphasis.

Night, Necragakure, Akuzura Base.
"Naruto..." A deep voice says.
The Kyuubi showed up again.
"What do you want?" Naruto said back.
"Now Naruto, let me lend you power I can give you the power you need to crush the leaf." The Kyuubi tried to destroy he leaf years ago, but that was under the Uchiha's control.
"I don't want to crush the leaf, I want to retake it from Danzo." Naruto snaps back, but he knew otherwise.
"Don't lie, you have wanted to get revenge on all those villagers all this time for the ways they treat you." The Kyuubi hit the nail on the head.
Naruto clenches his teeth "Ugh." The Kyuubi was correct.
"Well I can do it without you!" Naruto snapped back again, not wanting to give in.
"Maybe, but those dammed Uchiha get stronger by the minute, and they will no doubt crush you if you don't use my full power."
"My new techniques are enough." Naruto debated.
"No they are not, you have to be ready for their more powerful attacks."
"Well how do I know you won't take me over and go on a rampage." Naruto being cautious in case.
"That would be idiotic, I hate the Uchiha more then anything, and even if I do, I would merely be captured and sealed away again." The Kyuubi was kind of evil, but he had hatred for Uchiha too.
"I'll lend you my power." He said one final time.
"Think about it this way, if it wasn't for me you would have been dead by now, now it's time to return the favor, by at least having us fight together, I merely want to kill, not destroy randomly. And you and I know you'd rather be friends with me, than be my victim when I am free."
"Fine you win Kyuubi, I'll do it." Naruto takes the risk.
"Good choice." The Kyuubi grins at this decision.
"Okay so Kyuubi."
The Kyuubi interrupts. "Kurama". "That is my true name, you could call me that as a token."
"Okay Kurama."
Naruto wakes up from his sleep again, Hinata was sleeping soundly by him, he similes at her beauty even when asleep and goes back to sleep himself.

Uzushiogakure.
As the leaf ninja walked down the streets. "This place is kinda creepy." Tenten mentions. The street was in ruins garbage and debris from buildings covered the roads, the wrecks made it hard to maneuver around, but the leaf ninja went through nevertheless.
Uzushiogakure was burned and scorched, along with rusted from years of abandonment and war, it was so abandoned that it was hard to believe that this was once one of the most crowded cities in the land of whirlpools.
Lee puts his hand on Tenten's shoulder "Do not worry Tenten this place is abandoned, there is no one here but us." Lee assures his teammate.
"There's our goal." Tsunade points to a large wrecked building probably the tallest in the city it had the Uzumaki symbol on a dented sign.
"That's Uzumaki tower." Kakashi points out.
Tsunade gives more information. "It's the home of the Kage in this village and the only building strong enough to survive until today."
"That's our base." Kakashi mentions.
"This is where we'll gain weapons and store our resources."
The leaf ninja entered the tower, it was dark and covered with old paintings and relics. There were some lanterns near the entrance that the team uses for lighting their way through the tower. However they failed to see that a small trigger that sent out an invisible shock wave.
As they went up the stairs a bat few by, and a crow was perched on the ceiling. Spiderwebs and damp wood were all along the steps.
"Woah!" The step below Kiba breaks in half and it was a miracle that Shino grabbed him before he fell. "I got you." Shino said to his teammate. "Thanks Shino."
Top floor, it was old and dark, a desk was in the back of the room, it had old files and papers, the walls showed pictures, one of the 4th Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and another of Kushina Uzumaki and she was wearing a kage outfit.
"This place will do, we just have to light it up." Tsunade says dusting the desk.
"I can't believe some people would do this to the town." Jiraiya adds.

Akuzura Base.
Midnight.
The invisible shock wave flies across the base, waking Naruto, Karin and Pain up with a single shock.
"Huh?" Naruto wakes up in surprise, flings the covers down off the bed and shakes his head multiple times to see if it was a dream.
"Naruto?" Hinata wakes up to the sound of Naruto waking up, she pushes her hair out of her eyes and looks at Naruto, who stared into space.
"I felt a shock and it wasn't a dream for sure." Naruto explains.
"What do you think it was Naruto?" Hinata asks, wiping the dust from her eye.
"There's something wrong, in Uzushiogakure!" Naruto jumps off the bed in a spring of step, throws on his red cloud cloak, weapons and shoes and runs out of the room.
"Wait Naruto." Hinata follows Naruto doing the same.
Naruto goes into the lobby just in time to see Pain already there waiting for him.
"What was it?" Naruto asks Pain. "There's trouble!"
"In Uzushiogakure, I know." Pain finishing Naruto's sentence.
Pain explains the purpose of the alarm "The shock that was the alarm. It's unleashed whenever someone enters our city, it's purpose is to let all Uzumaki know that someone has trespassed on our sacred city."
"Who could it be?" Naruto questions it.
"I don't know, it could be the leaf or it could be the other Akatsuki, but are you going to let them defile our city?" Pain says angry and ready to fight.
"No!" Naruto says in the same tone of voice.
"Let's go", Pain hits an alarm on the desk in the lobby signaling all members in the base to get ready for an emergency.
The alarm roars across the base waking up all the Akatsuki members with either good or bad feelings.
"Ah man, I was having a good dream." Hidan says as he wakes up throwing off the covers.
"Time is money, I guess no sleep either." Kakuzu says grabbing the briefcase.
"Anytime is time for art." Deidara springs up and makes a bird in his hand.
"Puppets don't get tired so I guess I shouldn't complain." Sasori gets up and readies his scrolls.
"Let's get started!" Naruto's body becomes red and fiery, the energy of the Nine-tailed fox roared within him.
'Okay Kurama get us to Uzushiogakure for our first battle together.'
'Right.' Kurama and Naruto could hear each others thoughts.
The energy turns into a spiral and Naruto takes off into the sky through the sky entrance that opens with a flick of a switch with red energy as a burst stream propelling him further.
"Naruto's taken off, it's the power of the Nine-tailed fox." Pain explains to the other members who have gotten ready.
"We have to follow." Pain fires the repelling jutsu into the ground catapulting him in a similar matter as Naruto.
"Right." Hinata melds herself into the ground and with incredible speed rushes across the surface of the land as a shadow at high speeds enough to keep up with Naruto and Pain.
"Okay, my creation." Deidara forms a giant bird, Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu, Hikari and Yukiko climb on to it and fly after Naruto and Pain.
Konan forms wings from her paper jutsu and flies after the rest of the the members.
Sidra gives the last orders "Karin, Suigetsu, Daku I need you to stay here guard the base." The 3 nod in agreement.
Karin says some last words before Sidra leaves. "I'm counting on you guys to rid our village of tresspassers."
Sidra simply warps herself to the city using Kamui and like that the battle is on.

Anbu Watchtower.
An Anbu looking out of binoculars sees the Akuzura members "Akatsuki members flying across the land of fire heading to Uzushiogakure, should I inform Danzo?"
"Yes do it." The Anbu captain agrees.
The Anbu radios Danzo "Lord Danzo, Akatsuki are heading towards the Hidden Eddy's Village."
"Send our forces to capture them." Danzo responds.
"They're mine now." Danzo says after failing the last time.

Anbu suit up from Konoha's base getting into armor and suits, weapons and bombs at the ready and they leave for Uzushiogakure.
Around a wall Hiashi and Neji watch them.
Neji peeks through the walls with Byakugan "Where are they going?" Neji asks.
Hiashi makes an assumption "If they found the Akatsuki, Hinata will be with them."
"Should we follow?" Neji asking his clan lord.
"Yes." Hiashi and Neji jump across the trees with the Anbu forces on the ground, not getting noticed using gentle step to not make a sound.

"Uzushiogakure dead ahead!" Naruto yells to the rest of the members with a deeper voice, more like Kurama was talking with Naruto.
Pain looks around and sees that destination "There, Uzumaki tower." Pain points out.
"What's the plan, Pain?" Naruto asks.
Pain devises a plan, but was pretty straightforward "We rid the city of anyone and everyone that's not in our forces."
"Now attack!" Naruto, Pain, Konan, and Deidara's bird all fly down to the tower.

Jiraiya looks out the window with a major surprise, Jiraiya's eyes bulge "The Akatsuki are here?!" Jiraiya says in surprise.
Tsunade suits everyone up for battle "Okay everyone we have an attack get ready for battle!" Tsunade informs the leaf ninja.
Everyone suits up with weapons sharp and ready, bombs armed and jutsu chakra full.
Jiraiya takes a look at the flying red figure. Jiraiya looks at the flying forces come down and looks at the one especially close "What the?, Naruto?!"
"Naruto?" Sakura asks, she holds her hands to her heart to try and lower the pain she had.
"It's him no doubt." Jiraiya states after taking one final look.
Sakura didn't believe it "Naruto, he's alive and in the Akatsuki, but how, we searched for him all over that wreckage?" She questions the logic behind it. "Unless the Akatsuki saved him?!"
"Let's go." Kakashi leads the leaf ninja outside.
Sakura sucks in her gut and goes ready for battle.

On a cliff from afar.
The other Akatsuki looks on "The Leaf Ninja and the Akuzura." Obito says from afar.
"I'm going." Sasuke says then he walks forward towards the city, though he was stopped by Itachi. "No." Itachi holds out his arm to block Sasuke.
Sasuke turns angry and bitter all of a sudden "Let me go, I have to kill him."
"Who?, Naruto?" Itachi asks his brother. "You already have the Mangekyou Sharingan so why would you want to kill him?"
"I must." Sasuke says more serious, Itachi's eyes bulge at this.
"But why?" Itachi asks his younger brother.
"Naruto is an Uzumaki the closest to a Senju founders of that wrenched village that destroyed our clan." Sasuke explains his reasons "I owe him the payback."
Sasuke's curse mark glows and his body turns gray, sprouting from his back 2 large featherless wings grew out.
Sasuke jumps and flies towards Uzumaki Tower.
"I should have never told him." Itachi mentions.
Obito argues with Itachi "No you did the right thing."
"We should follow."
Obito warps himself, Itachi and Kisame to the battleground, while Zetsu phases himself there.

Kakashi and the leaf ninja stood at the base of Uzumaki tower looking at the several objects approaching
Naruto lands with a blast, smoke and a rush of air rushes around him like a shock wave. The leaf ninja had to cover themselves to not get blown away.
Naruto stood with red energy surrounding himself, his Akuzura cloak flowing in the night's wind.
Kakashi instantly turned made and filled with quesitons "Naruto, why join the Akatsuki?!" Kakashi yelled.
Naruto wasn't fazed by his yelling he spoke in an innocent voice "I believed it was for the best, and we shall retake Konoha and revive the Uzumaki and Uchiha clans."
Kakashi didn't believe that at all "Lies, they plan to destroy the leaf!" Kakashi snapped back.
"So what?" Naruto said, it was quiet but the word was like a heart pierce.
Sakura's eyes bulged and Kakashi's simply became angry.
Sakura came just as angry "Naruto, are you crazy!" Sakura yelled to his teammate.
Naruto was ready to express himself more to the leaf and he did "Can't you see that Danzo made the leaf something to get rid of, and even so since when has the leaf been nice to me?"
Sakura's anger turned to pity and realization 'Ugh, Naruto's right the leaf never was nice to him.' Sakura not wanting to believe it, but it was hard to not believe an obvious truth.
"We'll take the leaf and then reincarnate it." Sidra says while warping in.
"You, what have you done to Naruto?!" Sakura asks, thinking Sidra had Naruto under genjutsu or something, but it wasn't that.
Sidra reacts with the same anger she has against the leaf the years of exile from the Uchiha "Nothing, the leaf did this!" Sidra snapped back.
"In that case, if you plan to destroy the leaf, we'll destroy you!" Kakashi threatened the 2.
"Hahaha!" Naruto and Sidra laughed it had a touch of evil laughter it matched the anger of the entire Uzumaki clan against Konoha.
Naruto described further "You can't stop us, we're already a force too strong for just you leaf ninja to defeat alone."
"Exactly, the leaf shall know pain." Pain said when he landed.
"Now without further hesitation shall we?" Pain threw the signal to attack.
The rest of the members of Akuzura had landed on buildings with the height advantage on the leaf ninja.
Pain readies his attack and makes the signal "Ready, fire!"
"Here we go, C-2!" Deidara throws 10 connective birds at the leaf ninja.
"Iron Sand Stream" Sasori blasts a dark stream of black sand from his palms.
"Fire Style Searing Migraine!" A mask comes out from under Kakuzu's cloak and breathes fire.
"Wind Style Great Breach!" Hikari blows a massive wind blast from her mouth.
"Ninja Art, Wind Scythe Jutsu!" Yuikiko spins her scythe and wind comes out in a tornado.
"Earth Style, Scythe Quake!" Hidan spins his scythe and rocks from the debris of the city are carried by pure chakra into a ring and then thrown at the leaf ninja.
"Sacred Paper Emissary Jutsu!" Konan unleashes a massive wave of paper at the Leaf ninja.
"Almighty Push!" Naruto and Pain both call out, a massive spiral shock wave comes out of each of their palms.
"Fire Style, Amaterasu Projection." Sidra's eyes rotate, and a black fire blasts in a fiery beam.
"Gentle Fist, Twin Lion Flamethrower!" Hinata's hands glow a boiling blue and scorch with blue fire taking the shape of lions, the 2 lions open their mouths and fire a massive blue flamethrower at the leaf ninja.
The resulting attack combined more power then a village and it was too wide to avoid as a result all the leaf ninja were shot backwards and sent flying into debris, barely able to move afterwards.
Pain walks over to the ninja on the ground "So you concede?" Pain asks.
"Oh no." Jiraiya says looking from the tower's 3rd floor with Tsunade.
Jiraiya was shocked at the sight of a former student. 'Yahiko.'
"The Akatsuki is too powerful." Tsunade says looking at the destructive powers the Akuzura clan did.
"I will ask again will you concede?" Pain asks again.
"Yahiko." Jiraiya smashes through the run-down windows of the tower and comes down on Pain. "Rasengan!" Jiraiya yells as he creates a spiral ball that was identical to Naruto's.
"Almighty Push!" Pain holds up his palm and Jiraiya stops in an instant and the force of wind and gravity repelled the Rasengan like it was nothing. Jiraiya lands on his feet barely standing from the impact.
Jiraiya brings himself to talk to his former student "Yahiko, you've grown powerful, but why join the Akatsuki?"
Pain talks back "Jiraiya-sensei, I formed the Akatsuki myself for my plans for peace, and take a look into my eyes, you'll see I'm no longer the weak child I was before."
Jiraiya takes a look at Pain's Rinnegan eyes, his eyes bulged in shock.
"Rinnegan." Jiraiya says in shock.
Jiraiya only knew one Rinnegan user and it wasn't Yahiko "Nagato, it's you?"
"Yes Jiraiya-sensei." Pain responds.
"Pervy-sage." Naruto says.
Jiraiya wasn't going to attack his student, but he was going to try and persuade him "Naruto, I've heard enough, I can only offer my sincerest apology for the villagers of the leaf."
That didn't shake Naruto "It's nice to hear that, but it won't change my plans."
"So then Nagato and Naruto my 2 students are against me." Jiraiya closes his eyes in the form of how ironic this is.
"It's merely a taste Jiraiya-sensei, why don't you join us, we shall retake and remake Konoha for peace." Pain offers.
Jiraiya responded instantly "No you are criminals and even if Naruto is in the Akatsuki none of us shall join you."
Pain resorts to violence "So be it, however if you interfere we have to eliminate you."
"Bring it, Nagato." Jiraiya says even though he took some damage earlier.
"Very well." Pain makes the sign to attack once again.
Pain, Konan, Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu, Naruto, Hinata, Sidra, Hikari and Yukiko all unleash the same attacks are before only this time in consecutive beams of power and destruction.
All 11 blasts go in a massive attack making it seem impossible to miss.
Jiraiya stands there with his Rasengan ready it was charging up with an enormous power. Jiraiya puts all the chakra he has into the attack and tries to stop the combined attack by the Akuzura.
The resulting explosion sends Jiraiya back and down unable to move.
"Jiraiya you fool." Tsunade says from the 3rd floor.
"Sorry sensei." Pain says in vein, but pain didn't faze him.
Sakura becomes more angry now and rushes towards Naruto with her fist glowing red.
Naruto holds out his palm and as soon as the punch gets an inch close the attack is repelled and Sakura is sent flying back into the air.
"Sakura!" Tsunade says about her student flying back.
Suddenly a gray blur grabs Sakura out of the sky and puts her on the ground. It was Sasuke.
"Chidori!"
Sasuke flies directly at Naruto with his 100 bolted fist charging more and more.
"Rasengan!" Naruto counters with his ball of wind chakra.
The 2 attacks are equal as they both fly backwards.
Sasuke deactivates his cursed form.
Tsunade then jumps down and yells. "Attack!"
The leaf ninja each get up and rush towards each Akatsuki member.
"Charge!" Pain commands his team.
Both armies run toward each other weapons ready.
Pain and Kakashi clash fist vs fist.
Tsunade and Sidra clash heel vs kunai.
Sakura and Hinata clash fist vs palm.
Lee's kick is stopped by Kakuzu's strings.
Tenten's axes are countered by Sasori's blade.
Guy's leg is caught by Yukiko's scythe.
Shino's bugs and Shikamaru's shuriken are stopped by Hidan's rotating scythe.
Ino and Choji clash with Deidara's explosions.
Kiba and Akamaru and blown back by Hikari's wind.
Asuma and Kurenai are countered by Konan's paper wall.
"RASENGAN!"
"CHIDORI!"
Naruto and Sasuke clash neither letting up using Rasengan and Chidori once more.
As the smoke clears from the blasts, each of the ninja in each side split up and take on different opponents.
When the smoke clears Naruto finds that Sasuke has taken off running towards Uzumaki tower, "HEY!" Naruto yells to his teammate, he had never seen Sasuke as a coward before. 'I have to get him to follow me and into my trap.' Sasuke thinks to himself as he runs.
"RASENGAN!" Naruto jumps with a Rasengan at Sasuke, but Sasuke dodges the attack by jumping against a bookshelf and the Rasengan crashes into a wall almost sending Naruto off the edge of the tower. Naruto clenches his fist and gets back up narrowly falling off the edge, his anger overtaking his fear. Naruto gets back up and continues his attack. Sasuke throws his katana at Naruto and Naruto ducks only letting the katana cut a hair, as the katana kept going it slashed through an antique jar.
Naruto gets more anger as a Uchiha was destroying the tower as they did years ago "Sasuke leave this place and stop defiling it with the Uchiha blood you have!"
Sasuke's anger was momentarily taken by surprise "Huh, what are you talking about?" Sasuke asks not knowing the history of his clan like Sidra did.
Naruto becomes enraged in power "The Uchiha destroyed this place, take a look, there's shuriken and kunai from only Konoha the buildings are scorched by flame jutsu!"
Sasuke recoils with the same anger "Well that's past, you should just die here, because the Uzumaki are closest to the Senju the clan that created Konoha, and thereby destroying my clan too!"
"That's also past!" Naruto recoils back.
Naruto and Sasuke both retreat back and charge up their attacks.
Naruto runs with a giant rasengan. "AHHH!"
Sasuke runs with an equally powerful lightning blade. "AHHH!"
"GIANT RASENGAN!"
"LIGHTNING CHIDORI!"
Sasuke and Naruto collide Rasengan vs Chidori once more making the windows shatter one by one the ninja around the area saw these windows shatter like they were nothing.
"Naruto!"
"Sasuke!"
Hinata turns her head back at Sakura and disappears in a shadow into the ground.
"Where'd she go?" Sakura as she turns back she didn't see Hinata, a shadow went right behind her that she didn't notice.
"Here!" Hinata reappears behind Sakura and punches her down it was no gentle fist palm technique, it was pure brute strength that could rival Sakura or even Tsunade.
"AHH!" Sakura falls down after being struck in the back.
"I'm coming Naruto." Hinata runs towards the tower leaving Sakura.
"No you don't whore!" Sakura jumps back up in a back flip and slams her heel down on Hinata, but to her surprise that attack merely molds itself right through Hinata's body like a shadow would. Sakura creates a giant creator in the ground, but Hinata remained undamaged. "Who are you calling whore, flat tits?" Hinata almost never insulted someone like that especially Sakura. 'Flat tits, why you!' Sakura was angry now, but guess she deserved the insult.
Hinata strikes Sakura's leg closing off the chakra, then she jumps right over Sakura doing a flip in the process.
"No!" Sakura grabs Hinata's leg as she flips and Hinata falls down and hits the ground hard, Sakura jumps and slams her heel down on Hinata's back it was weaker because of Hinata blocking the chakra, but nevertheless it hurt. Hinata spits some blood, and Sakura takes out a kunai, but hesitates to attack.
'But this is Hinata.' Sakura thinks to herself, she never thought she would resort to killing someone as timid as her.
"Too late." Hinata phases right through he ground and runs towards the tower, Sakura chases after he only she couldn't keep up with a blocked chakra leg.
Sidra sees the blast too in her battle with Tsunade. "Amaterasu!"
Sidra heads into the tower Tsunade tries to go after Sidra, but the black fire made her retreat back, she holds up her right arm that was burned by the black fire. 'Naruto.'
Anbu black ops come over the hills and cliffs going towards the city enough for Pain and Kakashi to both see.
Kakashi and Pain look over at the ninja coming ignoring the battle at hand "The Anbu black ops?" Kakashi says in surprise. 'Danzo.'
Pain takes advantage he holds up his palm and repels Kakashi back with his repelling jutsu.
Kakashi does 3 flips to stay on his feet.
Anbu come down and surround Pain, kunai and hand signs ready to attack in case.
One Anbu came down and gave orders "Kill all Akatsuki and Leaf Ninja at will!" The Anbu captain says.
Kakashi gets back up and his fist becomes covered in lightning Kakashi charges at Pain with his lightning blade.
"Almighty Push!" Pain holds both his palms in 2 directions repels all the Anbu from himself, with enough time to dodge Kakashi's lightning blade, by jumping up.
"You're stubborn." Pain's eyes glow with energy and from the cliff 5 figures arise from the shadows, each baring the circular eyes of Rinnegan.
Through the shadows the 5 other paths of pain reveal themselves.
The 5 other paths of pain join the Deva path in battle against Kakashi and the incoming Anbu.
(Note The Animal path is the second one, not the one destroyed by Jiraiya. No particular reason I just like the second one more.)
Each path introduces itself.
A women path says "I am Animal Path."
A man with no hair and a weird face he had piercings in his forehead says "I am Asura path."
A man with very long hair, too long for a man says. "I am Human path."
A man with his hair tied back he had only 2 cheek piercings says "I am Preta path."
A man that looked like Yahiko only more rugged says "I am the Naraka path."
And Pain finishes. "And I am Deva path, we are the 6 paths of pain."
"Let there be pain." All 6 paths said in unison.
Kakashi gasps at the first 1 now 6 opponents, he clenches and readies his lightning blade again. "Lightning Blade!" Kakashi runs at the Pains, the Asura path gets in the way and uses both hands to grab Kakashi's blade ignoring the powerful energy sparking from his fist.
"Water Style Hydro Release!" The Animal Path unleashes a large burst of water.
"Fire Style Fireball Jutsu!" The Asura path throws Kakashi away and unleashes his fireball attack.
"Earth Style Mud Bomb!" The Naraka path unleashes a large mudslide in a blast at Kakashi.

3rd floor
'huff, huff.' 'Naruto and Sasuke sure move fast.' Sidra thinks to herself.
A large sword comes in and smashes the ground below Sidra.
"Well, well the new one." Kisame says as he wields Samehada.
Sidra grunts at yet another enemy to have to fight.
Kisame swings Samehada at Sidra, but the attack just goes right through her just as all other physical attacks did.
Kisame regains balance and stares angrily at Sidra, Sidra simple smirks back, showing Kisame he forgot Kamui ability.
"I won't let that beat me." Kisame swings Samehada at Sidra again, the attack once again goes right through her and smashes the ground behind Sidra with a bang.
"Fine, how about this, Water Style Shark Bomb!" Kisame jumps up and his body becomes engulfed in a watery spiral spinning around him, Kisame unleashes his attack Sidra which took the form of a giant shark that roared loudly as it headed for the Uchiha.
Sidra jumps up to meet the attack head on and quickly makes her hand signs "Fire Style Fireball Jutsu!" Sidra unleashes her fireball jutsu in counter to Kisame's water attack.
The colliding jutsu explode with red and blue energy sending Kisame and Sidra flinging back. Kisame uses Samehada to grip the ground in order to stay up right and stop his repelling from the blast, Sidra warps herself through the obstacles she was flung into and stops herself with her feet's grip.
Kisame gets up easily and so does Sidra and they attack each other once again.

Naruto and Sasuke reach the roof of the tower, bursting through the ceiling with a lightning quick blow, the floorboards are torn up as the tear right through the floor below them.
Naruto's body becomes red as 4 tails sprout from his back as the nine-tailed chakra arises from his core to the surface. 'Okay Kurama, you wanted Uchiha revenge you got it.'
'Thank you Naruto.' Kurama says sneering at the chance.
Sasuke's body turns gray and his hair turns blue as wings sprout from his back, the curse mark gained more power as Sasuke changes more.
Naruto and Sasuke do a jump and take off into the skies above Uzumaki tower, having red and blue energy as a stream of energy as after burn.
Naruto flies back and holds up his palm to the sky and wind comes towards his palm.
Sasuke flies back and holds up his fist, lightning sparked the sky as his technique gained power.
"Giant Rasengan!" Naruto charges up a rasengan much bigger then his normal Rasengan, wind from the area gathers around this ball of wind chakra and powers it up more, Naruto charges flying at Sasuke.
"Kirin Chidori!" Lightning from the skies strike Sasuke's fist and a lightning blade of 1000 bolts sparks with chakra. Sasuke charges at Naruto with equally vicious power.
The resulting clash makes an enormous explosion in the sky sending wind blasting on all the other fights, making all the Leaf Ninja and Akuzura members cover themselves from the blast lightning and wind covered the city in lightning strikes and set the once destroyed city on fire once again.
Sasuke and Naruto both fall down onto the tower as a result of the blast, the 4-tailed form and curse forms deactivated.
Naruto's arm moved slowly with tremor, he tried hard to get up before Sasuke did, Sasuke was in the same condition, but his hand hurt so much. 'I have to win for the sake of my clan.' Naruto and Sasuke both thought simultaneously.
Naruto couldn't stand no matter how hard he tried, he turned his head Sasuke was right in front of the edge of a wrecked wall, a push and he would fall down, his curse mark wasn't active either so he couldn't fly.
Naruto's hand moved slow it was trembling in pain and slowly making its way into postion, Naruto clenches his eyes and teeth trying to pull off enough energy as he felt the determination build up in power, he raised his hand and opened his palm, he growled as red energy pulsed as he called the attack that would end this.
"ALMIGHTY PUSH!"
Naruto's push engulfed with the massive power of Kurama repels Sasuke right off the roof of the 10 story Uzumaki tower. 'no..' Sasuke quickly thought as the attack made contact with his unstable body "AHHH!" he was falling to his doom.
Hinata and Sakura were on floor 7 battling. Hinata punched with her twin lion fist, it went aside past Sakura's face, Sakura fired back with her fist covered with red energy, Hinata ducked to avoid the attack that could smash a mountain. The sound of yelling distracted them both, Sakura turned to see Sasuke was falling, it was only for a very brief moment but she saw it. Sakura's eyes grew giant as she sees Sasuke falling. Hinata sees Sakura distracted and nailed her in the stomach with her twin lion fist sending Sakura flying out shattering the glass window in the process and down the 7 story fall.
"AHH!" Sakura yells momentarily, but she sees Sasuke falling too and he was unconscious, Sakura dives down and grabs hold of Sasuke trying to maybe shield him from the fall.
Sakura held her stomach that felt like it was burning with fire from Hinata's twin lion fist it was only 3 more stories until they both fell to their deaths. "Sasuke if I must die, I'm happy it's with you."
Suddenly inches before they hit the ground the world seemed to break apart and come bendy, in a few seconds Sakura and Sasuke disappeared.
On a cliff Sakura and Sasuke appeared and Obito looked at them with his Sharingan glare having saved them with Kamui.
Kakashi and Pain both turned around, Kakashi's eyes turned big is gasp, Pain turned angry.
"Obito!" Kakashi yells as he sees his former teammate still alive.
"Grrrr." Pain in rage blasts his repelling jutsu at Kakashi sending him flying back and into a wall. The wall trembled and the building above the wall started to crack and it fell on Kakashi.
Kakashi seemed crushed under the rubble, Pain stood. "You should have gave in when you had the chance, now you know pain."
Kakashi then appeared where Sasuke and Sakura were, he had warped himself at the last minute.

Kisame slams Samehada on Sidra's kunai and they grip hard making sparks come out. Sidra pushes Kisame back and holds up her hand behind her. Fire spirals around her palm and the fire chakra turns into a shuriken shaped object. Sidra's eyes squint and she throws the shuriken at Kisame.
Kisame slashes Samehada on the fire shuriken and grunts as the shuriken started to blow through.
'Fire chakra, my least favorite taste.' Kisame thinks after feeling the power from samehada.
Samehada slashes right through the shuriken and the 2 sliced parts smash right into the wall behind them and blow a large hold in the wall.
Kisame looks and sees Obito with the rest of the members.
"I'll get you some other time." Kisame disappears into a puddle of water.
Kisame appears beside Itachi who stood with Obito.
"We'll settle this some other time." Obito says as he warps himself, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Kisame and Itachi away from the fight.
"Grrrrr." Pain grumbles to himself as his opponent got away.
Zetsu looked at the battle from afar. "So this Akuzura is getting stronger." White Zetsu says.
"No big deal." Black Zetsu replies to his other half.
Zetsu phases through the ground and leaves the battlefield.

The rest of the leaf ninja fought well, but the Akuzura members overpowered them greatly even being outnumbered.
"Grr. Retreat!" Tsunade yells enough for all the ninja in the area to hear.
All the leaf ninja regroup and run from the fights they were in, in a moment they were there, the next they vanish into the shadows.
Hinata makes it to the roof of the tower and sees Naruto who was weak on the ground.
"Naruto are you alright?." Hinata says comforting Naruto. Hinata leans Naruto on her shoulder and carries him up.
Naruto's eyes open more and he manages to get in "Thanks Hinata." for he goes quiet.

The Akuzura members regroup at the tower interior.
"Aww man, they ran away, I was just getting to the good part!" Hidan says in disappointment.
"Forget the rituals Hidan, I was just getting to the best part of my art." Deidara adds.
"Like your art is art, I was going to make the one I fought into a puppet." Sasori debates.
"My man..." Deidara says annoyed.
"This fight, there was no money here, I hate that." Kakuzu says.
"Oh well to me they're worth sacrificing." Hidan argues.
"Only money is worth things, not virgins are not, only if they're sold they are." Kakuzu argues.
"Why you!" Hidan rushes in at Kakuzu with his scythe ready to slash, but Kakuzu kicks him right in the stomach sending him into Pain's Animal path.
Animal pain throws Hidan right off herself and leaves no word.
"Huh, I never knew Pain had a female side." Hidan says with a smirk as the Animal path was the only female path out of the 6 paths.
"Nevertheless, Uzushiogakure under our control, in this case we can move on to our next step in the plan." Pain walks in and says.

"It's over, the battle's finished." Neji says to his uncle. Neji and Hiashi chose to watch the battle until the battle ended.
"It's fine we never needed to get into unnecessary battles." Hiashi ensures Neji.
"From what we've seen the Akuzura is quite strong, Hinata and Hikari clearly possess much greater power than we knew before."
"Along with that they have new abilities."
"Tell me about these abilities." Hiashi asks Neji.
"Well Hikari has a high arsenal of wind style jutsu, probably taken from the Hidden Cloud Village."
"I see, defecting from the clan must have allowed her to improve her ninjutsu skills." Hiashi says.
Hiashi continues "Well it's too bad, if she was still in the clan, she would be ranked high in the warrior class."
"And what about Hinata."
Neji pauses for a moment, he didn't want to mention the disgrace his cousin had put on the clan even though her ideals were not completely bad, he would know he once had the same ideals.
"She's not the same." Neji states in a depressed voice.
"She has become powerful and more intent to kill."
"Oh."
"Hinata has also learned new techniques, the Shadow Movement Technique is one."
"The Shadow Movement Technique, a technique only used by the Hidden Shadow Village, but a Hyuga learning it is almost near impossible." Hiashi then realizes something.
"But Hinata has always been like a shadow herself, the shy and timid type."
Neji gasps at this analysis.
"Could it be that this personality has allowed her to learn the technique with more ease then others can?"
"So you're saying that Hinata's personality did that?" Neji says in shock.
"It's unlikely, but it's the only explanation."
'So this is the one time her personality benefits her.' Neji thinks to himself.
"So in that case I ask you to leave Hinata to me." Neji asks.
"Leave her to you?" Hiashi responds.
"I ask for you to let me either bring her back to the clan's good side, or to kill her entirely."
"Very well." Hiashi wasn't touched by this.
"While you do that to Hinata, I shall do the same to Hikari, the biggest disgrace of the Hyuga."
"And Neji."
"Hmm?" Neji turns this speech was different from Hiashi's normal speech it was gentler.
"I'm sorry for restraining you in the branch family, I just want what's best for the clan."
"I know, and that's what Hinata and Hikari want, they just want the branch family to be free."
"While I do agree there is no way for that to occur, if they are freed the branch family will no doubt destroy the main family."
"Yes I know, that's why I stopped my grudge." Neji says remembering his grudge on the main family and Hinata back during the Chunin exams.
"We should leave before they notice us." Hiashi states.
"Yes." Neji and Hiashi leave the scene.
Hinata and Hikari though noticed them a long time ago, they watched from a distance.
'Neji, I don't want to fight you, and let alone kill you, but if you want to kill me.' Hinata speaks quietly.
Hikari speaks "Hiashi, you killed my father and now you plan to kill me, well that's not going to happen, and what are you to say what will happen to the branch family without the seal, well it's too bad you won't live to see it."
Hikari takes off her headband it was a Konoha headband with the symbol crossed off with a crack, this was the first time she did this in front of Hinata.
Hinata's eyes went big in total shock, she had never seen this before. Hikari's curse mark seal otherwise known as the Caged Bird Seal, it was gone.
