Hidan growled through tight teeth as he reared his scythe-wielding arm back. "Kakuzu! Fucking duck!"
In a split second, just as Hidan was bringing down his blades and swiped the older of the Undead Duo did as his partner ordered. His hand burst from underground, spurting threads and grabbing the Knuckle Knife that held him.
Shikamaru gasped at the sudden action, while Hidan held a smirk. "That's what I'm fucking talking about!"
The hand dropped the blade and stood palm down on the ground, and as the threads went on, at the hole it came from, a bundle of them began to beat much like a heart. More threads came from the pile as Kakuzu jumped away from his partner, and attached to his arm once more.
The beating bundle was at his arm now, pulsing with what looked to be rage. "I guess it isn't all over yet, now is it?" Kakuzu said in his usual deep voice. "As you can see, my abilities are countless, and you've no idea what I am capable of. You would be wise to retreat, to plan your next move of course. That is," He hardened his eyes slightly. "if you're smart, unlike my partner here." His full arm retracted into socket and webbed itself strongly into place. "Just remember the battle plans you make mean nothing, and are voided, when the situation on the ground do not go as calculated."
Shikamaru clenched his jaw and tensed visibly. He had no idea that things would turn out like this. After all the calculations and planning; it all failed.
Hidan smirked and chuckled lightly at the boy's reaction to Kakuzu's little lecture. The more he processed his partner's words, the more his face contorted into one of anger and rage. "Kakuzu! What the fuck did you fucking mean 'Unlike my Partner here'?" He demanded.
Kakuzu allowed a small rumble of a growl to escape from his throat as he turned to the silver haired immortal. "Just as I said you idiot."
Before he could come up with a response, the Jashinist dashed at his partner again with a strong speed and scythe upturned. He began slashing the scythe from side to side with an amazing swiftness; slashing through the air and emitting a sharp noise. "I can't fucking control my damn body! Fucking do something Kakuzu!"
Kakuzu's green eyes were locked on Hidan as he began jumping back and away from the trio of sharp blades. "What's wrong with you?"
Soon enough his large body slammed against a tree and he held his arm out at his partner. He let out a low growl when his back met the bark of the tree. "What?"
"Spiky Human Boulder!"
His hands reacted the moment the jutsu was called; Kakuzu clashed them together and glared upwards at the oversized, brown spinning ball that was aiming right for him.
"Kakuzu!" Hidan yelled as his arm ceased motion.
The ground crumbled and large chunks of the earth rose from the heavy impact and a thick cloud of dust shrouded the three ninja within.
.:.:.:.:.:.
Choji dashed out of the dusty cloud and to Shikamaru's side; brows creased with a hardened stare at where he had hit the Akatsuki.
The two watched as a large silhouette began to make its way from the cloud as well and tightened their jaws slightly. "It's like _ said before."
Kakuzu's skin was a dark black, and within seconds returned into its normal tanned state. His green and red eyes stared coldly back at the two younger ninja, showing no signs of harm.
"His special ability is being able to harden his body."
"Good eye." The Thread-Ninja complimented with a sarcastic, deep tone. "I guess it's true then. Physical attacks are useless against me."
The Shadow-Ninja's eyes hardened at this.
"Shikamaru." Choji gained his attention. "The other one."
Though his shadow was still stretched, Hidan gave a victorious cackle that practically made the Leaf shinobi flinch. "Be afraid!" He spoke loudly. "Be fucking afraid you damn Konoha brats! Kakuzu, enough with the damn small talk, let's fucking destroy them! Hurry! Undo this fucking annoying jutsu already!"
"Right."
Just as Kakuzu was about to raise his arm, his eyes widened and his pupils shrunk as he let out a yell of pain.
Hidan's face twisted into one of pure shock.
Kakuzu had been hit?
A bright and burning blue light of electricity, attached to a man's hand had been forced through the Thread-Ninja's chest.
"H-How?" Kakuzu demanded. "I didn't even sense your chakra."
"Sorry."
.:.:.:.
"Kakashi Hatake of the Sharingan. The Copycat Ninja of the Leaf." Cyn watched from above.
She stood, perched on a tree limb high above the ninjas heads. Her chakra was masked perfectly, and it seemed no one had yet noticed her.
Her visible eye looked right below to a female with long blonde hair. "Ino Yamanaka. Why do you think she is staying out of all of this?"
"I understand." She spoke softly after feeling her beasts shake within her body. "She is useless in battle."
A loud thud caught her attention and dragged her eyes back to the men that were battling. Kakuzu had fallen over from the Chidori and landed face-first into the ground.
"They believe they've defeated him."
Kakashi ran at Hidan, determined to finish him off next, though was struck back and into a tree's trunk with a hard kick to the stomach.
The tree began to crumble and fall, taking out more of its brethren as it did so. Cyn sighed softly as she watched the battle unfold. "I could change the outcome of this all, but I'm sure Onee-san will be pleased with it."
Cyn lifted her chin to the sky, ignoring Kakuzu's release of his four hearts.
"Are you sure?"
A fierce gust of wind blew from one of Kakuzu's heart-beasts as it hit Kakashi.
"Alright."
Cyn dropped to the ground as dead trees were thrown from there rooted place. The young Leaf ninja were pushed back as well, and wooden debris began dancing around the area with an unbelievable speed.
Ino's blue eyes widened as she watched a sharp limb draw closer to her and being unable to move, she could only hope for the best.
Her eyes were torn open when the feeling of pain did not come. Instead, she felt nothing.
A dazzling pink gem had stopped the sharp branch from hitting her; saving her ultimately.
"What is this?" She questioned breathlessly.
The gem wall was gone within a second, and the branch had fallen to the ground with a light thump. Her blue orbs shrunk slightly as she caught wind of a strong, foreign chakra and she turned around fully without hesitation.
The sight she was met with caused her heart sink quickly, and the blonde tense at first, though she swiftly dropped into a fighting position.
"I am not here to fight." Cyn spoke softly.
Ino scoffed, putting on a tough face for looks even though inside she was covered in fear. This girl destroyed a single building in an instance and this was the second time she had saved her. "Why?" Ino said in a quiet demand. "You helped me twice now, why?"
"Onee-san wants this." She said simply. "I will not fight unless told to." The pinkette's yellow eye scanned over the battle scene that was clearing from a heavy dust cloud. "You are Onee-san's friend, and though it seems as though I should not help the enemy, Onee-san would be devastated to know you died in battle, Ino."
"How do you know my name?" She demanded. "And who is this Onee-san you keep talking about?"
Cyn's eye hardened at her tone. "Leader didn't say anything about killing and he didn't say anything about not helping you either, so I won't be going against him."
"Who is it you take orders from?" Ino forced again and took a step forward.
The pinkette looked at the clearing smoke behind. "Your friends are in danger."
"My, friends?" Ino turned around quickly only to witness one of the masked beings that came from Kakuzu aiming a deadly lightning-based attack at them.
"If they get hit with that." She gasped. Ino jumped into a full sprint to her friends. "Shikamaru! Choji! If you get hit by that"
Cyn warped herself onto a tall tree that had dipped in the top and branched out even further to watch the battle unfold. She began watching just as Kakashi of the Sharingan blocked Kakuzu's lightning jutsu; saving the younger ninja from harm.
"Fatass." She heard Hidan taunt.
The largest of the group flared red with anger and ran at the Jashinist with extended arms that had amplified strength. His comrades called out for him, and eventually Shikamaru stopped him with his shadow right before Hidan could swipe at him with his tri-blade.
He raised his arm to strike the defenseless ninja, though was met with a kunai courteously of Kakashi. His frown etched into a smirk as the Jashinist cackled with delight. "Now that's what I'm fucking talking about!" With a successful kick to the chest, the white haired Copycat-Ninja was introduced to the ground.
She could hear the Leaf shinobi bickering at him to stay calm, and then, a gasp. Shikamaru had released his hold on his comrade.
The large child faced forward to see a the toned chest of a dark-cladded Kakuzu, he stood quickly, raised his enhanced fist and aimed for a hit.
A hard hand met the child's; Kakuzu was pushed back a few inches though retaliated by hitting the boy twice without a blink. With an elbow to the face, Choji was sent flying to the base of a tree.
The Thread-Ninja seemed to disappear for a moment and then reappear before the boy once again. Cyn listened to his whimper and the soft "No." he whispered out; only to receive a kick to the stomach and to be forced through a few more thick walls of dead wood.
It was annoying; the sound of sandals running up decaying wood and the loud cackle of Hidan as he chased his white haired prey. The two of them clashed blades as they ran and every now and again Kakashi would flip out of harms way.
Kakuzu's monsters attacked him as well and forced the man to Cyn's location.
The two shared a brief lock of eyes contact; Kakashi holding one of surprise, though was taken off the matter as one of the beasts aimed a fiery spear at him.
By the time the pinkette had found a new perch, away from the chaos that was unfolding quickly, Kakuzu had taken hold of Ino and Choji by the necks, Shikamaru was running from the Lightning Beast and Kakashi seemed to be down for the count.
What a terrible deception.
Hidan found out the hard way of Kakashi's decoy after he sliced the fallen in half.
His face reddened with rage as it disappeared within a puff of smoke.
.:.:.:.:.
The two Leaf ninja that had been captured where now saved thanks to a diversion Shikamaru had come up with. He was tending to them as Kakashi was guarding them.
"Are you okay?"
Ino nodded after hacking up a bit of water. "Yeah. More of less." She smiled weakly.
Hidan jumped to Kakuzu's side and smirked. "That was fucking pitiful. What the fuck happened there buddy?"
"You're one to talk." Kakuzu growled and turned his head to look at his partner. "I wasn't the one that fell for a shadow clone."
The Jashinist rubbed his head with a playful grin. "Oh, yeah. You fucking saw that shit?"
Shikamaru began walking toward the pair and once he was a few yards away, crouched and attempted to attack using his Shadow Possession.
Kakashi and Kakuzu began to battle as well.
"A fucking covert attack from a fucking distance? You're so damn pathetic!" Hidan chuckled as he flipped from the moving shadow.
A moment later the Shadow-Ninja appeared from around the tree Hidan had perched on and aimed a direct hit; the Jashinist blocked.
With their shadows now connected, Shikamaru smirked. "We're gonna go for a little stroll."
.:.:.:.:.
A new team had come.
Three males and a female. Two of which had gone off to see Shikamaru.
It wasn't until after the young blonde boy struck Kakuzu dead that they returned, which only meant her prediction was true.
Hidan had been taken down.
Cyn watched as the Konoha ninja rejoiced in victory and patted each other on the back. It was a heartwarming sight for a normal person thought to the pinkette it was boring. She began descending slowly from the perch she had stayed at for oh, so long.
She had two more things to do after all.
.:.:.:.
Sakura and Ino cheered in victory the loudest at the sight of Kakuzu's limp body.
Choji had ran to Shikamaru and Naruto, along with Sai who gave a forced smile, to share his enthusiasm of the Akatsuki's defeat.
Yamato smiled as he watched the younger generation jump in gaiety. The scene made his entire body warm with the knowledge that they had grown so much, and so powerful in such a short amount of time.
It all faded, though, when he turned to Kakashi.
"What's wrong?" He asked with a quizzical tone. "Your student practically took out three Akatsuki members, shouldn't you be happy?"
The younger ninja seemed to calm down, and their excitement as well when they noticed the Copycat-Ninja's hard eyes.
"I should be, but there is a problem." He spoke with such seriousness. That tone caused slight tension to run through the others.
Naruto grunted and raised a clenched fist. "What are you talking about Sensei? We won! Be happy about it would ya'?"
"There is still one more Akatsuki member here."
Ino's eyes widened at his words; he was right, after all, there was another.
"What are you talking about Kakashi-Sensei?" Naruto's voice was serious. He was told that the Akatsuki worked in pairs. "Why would there be another Akatsuki member in a group of two?"
"Is it that girl that gave us a warning?" Choji's eyes widened slightly at the memory.
Kakashi nodded slowly. "While I was fighting with Hidan, I was leading him with a shadow clone and it met with her. The Fifth put her known information in the Bingo Book. She didn't attack though, she was watching us all the entire time."
"Cyn." Shikamaru growled lowly.
As if on cue, the pinkette set foot a few yards away from the larger group; causing the small wind that was around to cease.
"So this is that new Akatsuki member?" Yamato looked to Kakashi. His face was serious and stressed. "What are we going to do?"
"Please evacuate."
The eight ninja tense visibly; Ino, Choji and Shikamaru taking a step back. The Shadow-Ninja clenched his fists tightly along with his jaw. "We need to go."
"We should get that body." Sakura mentioned to Kakuzu's. "We can extract data if we do."
"Please evacuate. Onee-san would be upset if Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru were harmed."
"What does she mean by that?" Choji looked to his comrades.
Kakashi's eyes widened; he was the only one who noticed it first, after all. "Naruto, don't!"
The blonde Jinchuriki had a trio of clones running along with him, Rasinshuriken in hand. Cyn watched with a bored eye as the boy drew closer with each passing second. "Naruto Uzumaki."
His blue eyes grew large at the sound of his name from the complete stranger, and just as he was about to make impact on the girl he was stopped and unable to move. The attack was dispelled within seconds.
"Vessel to the Nine-Tailed Fox." Hey eyes met with Naruto's. His fist that held the Rasinshuriken was a mere inch from her face. His clones had gone, though the body shape of the thin diamond suppressing them was still there. "Leader would be happy if I brought you back with me."
Kakashi crouched low, ready to attack at any given moment.
"But," She paused, seeing the white haired man grab a kunai. "I was not ordered to. Now please," Naruto's body confinement was released; causing him to fall to the ground. "leave."
The sparkling dust from before scattered to the trees and ground, though left the shinobi untouched. "What is that?" Sakura questioned. "She didn't even hit us."
Ino began to take small steps backwards. "It's the jutsu that destroyed the collection office."
"Her chakra is scattered everywhere that dust touched. I don't know what it is exactly though. It looks like normal dust."
"If you wish to die, then stay." She warned once more. Cyn raised her arm slightly as she spoke her words, making the shinobi fall back a bit.
Kakashi pushed the younger ninja behind him "Go!"
