(And I'm still at it.)
Last time, after the defeat of both Sasori and Deidara, the heroes took shelter in a wood styled house, compliments of Tsunade and her family bloodline. As they rested inside safe from the storm that rolled in they were unaware of Kisame Hoshigaki closing in on them ready to fight. Kisame looked at the lodging, "What a nice little place, too bad I have to destroy it."
Inside the house, Naruto's, the girls, and Spiderman's spider senses went off, 'Danger.' Naruto thought as the symbiotes redressed him and the girls in their symbiote forms.
"Naruto!" Spiderman came in.
"We know. We have to get everyone out now!" Naruto ordered as they split up alerting everyone while outside Kisame formed hand signs, "Suiton: Suikoudan no Jutsu (Water Shark Projectile Technique)!" he conjured a water projectile from a pond with the help of the rain and launched it at the wooden house destroying it.
"That wasn't so hard." Kisame said with a hint of disappointment. Before he could leave he looked back at the rubble seeing a force field and once dropped it revealed the heroes in one piece.
"Good move Kisame, but not enough." Naruto replied.
"So you survived that, good I was hoping for a longer fight." Kisame smirked.
"Kisame, how you've fallen." Mei said.
"Mei? Well Mei Terumi. I've heard you were appointed as Godaime Mizukage. But the idea of a bloodline user such as you appointed Mizukage. What has become of Kiri?"
"Kiri has become a better place Kisame, under my wing it's grown out of the bloody days of the past." Mei answered.
"Has it now? Well that's a first."
"Who is that guy?" Wolverine asked.
"Kisame Hoshigaki scourge of the Hidden mist village." Itachi answered.
"Scourge?" Iron Man asked.
"Yeah, this took place many years ago back when Kiri was known as the Bloody mist village as we told you heroes back in Konoha." Mei reminded them.
"And Kisame was once a member of the seven ninja swordsmen, Kiri's elite," Itachi explained, "But one day the swordsmen attempted a coup against the Water country's Daimyo but failed, thus resulting in them disbanding and becoming nuke-nin."
"Kisame was one of Kiri's strongest due his Jinchuriki level supply of chakra," Mei continued with Kisame smirking at his reputation, "But not only that his sword Samehada has the ability to absorb the chakra of opponents and transfer it back into him, thus he can never run out of energy."
"I can see why he was selected as part of the elite." Spiderman put in.
Kisame turned to Itachi, "Such a shame you betrayed us Itachi I actually liked you unlike the other members."
"Did you now?" Itachi asked.
"Oh yes, and believe me when I say it'll pain me to destroy you." He drew Samehada.
"Think again, fish boy." Wolverine said readying his claws.
Kisame went into battle using his sword, while Wolverine was using his claws to parry the sword away but when he blocked the sword against sharp blue scaled burst through the bandages surprising the mutant, "What's with that sword?" Jubilee asked.
"Samehada has a mind of its own. It won't work for just anybody." Tenten explained.
"Now ya tell me!" Wolverine called as he was forced back.
"Are you all right, Logan?" Beast asked.
"Yeah, but I feel weak." Wolverine panted.
"Samehada absorbed some of your energy." Mei said as they saw Kisame taking in the stolen energy.
"Ah nothing like a good cup of power." Kisame sighed in relief.
"How do you fight something that absorbs power?" Spiderman asked.
"By attacking from a distance." War Machine answered as he and Iron man launched Repulsor rays at Kisame knocking him down.
"What kind of attack was that?" Kisame asked confused.
"These people are not like you and me Kisame; they have abilities beyond our jutsu." Itachi explained.
"Nevertheless I have my mission." Kisame said forming hand signs launching a water dragon at them but they all made a dodge for it.
"Great a water user." Johnny frowned knowing his fire powers wouldn't work.
Naruto formed his head becoming Catastrophe, "Well Kisame, we meet again, we do hope Samehada has recovered from the little taste it sampled from us." He cackled.
Kisame frowned, "It took Samehada a year to forget the horrible taste of you."
"We were that affective to it? How flattering." Catastrophe replied.
Kisame frowned, "I no longer fear you symbiote."
"Then perhaps you will fear our wives." Catastrophe said as the girls went full symbiote form.
"Whoa fourteen symbiotic ninja?" Kisame gasped but calmed down, "Guess I'll need to amp up my game." He called forth ten water clones.
"Hey he summoned clones like Naruto." Spiderman said.
"Yes but he used a different type, he's created water clones." Itachi explained.
"Water clones?" Gambit asked.
"Yes. But unlike shadow clones water clones cannot go far from the creator or they'll revert back into water." Mei added.
"So we need to divert them." Spiderman said.
"Easier said than done, he obviously knows that's what we'd try to do." Cap warned him.
"Then we'll just work with however way we can!" Iron Man said as he flew around launching more rays at Kisame's clones, but with every blast the water regenerates.
Acid knew how to deal with the clones, and used her Futton release and the boiling vapor melted the clones dissolving them making Kisame frown, "Show off." he grumbled.
"Comes with position Kisame, though you would know about showing off wouldn't you?" Acid answered.
"You wanna talk about showing off point fingers at Zabuza he was more a show off than me."
"Well we would, but he's already dead." Acid reminded him.
"And you will be to!" Blade called whipping out her Kusanagi sword and clashed with the former Kiri ninja.
Kisame parried Blade, and continued fighting every hero that attacked him with same result of Samehada draining their energy even when they tried keeping their distance from his sword, "Ben, Hank, restrain him!" Cyclops ordered as the two strong arms grab Kisame's arms trying to hold him still but was struggling.
"You bakas are pitiful!" Kisame over powered them and threw them aside and formed hand signs summoning a water clone who also did hand signs, "Suirou no Jutsu!" the clone had trapped all but Iron man and War Machine in a water prison.
"Everyone hold your breath!" Demolisher ordered as they did so.
Thing tried punching through the prison, but couldn't break it, 'This water's solid.' Thing though making sure to keep his mouth closed.
'Great and this suit is dry clean only.' Black Cat thought.
"Hang on guys we're coming!" Iron man called as he and War Machine went to help but found themselves blocked by two more summoned water clones leaving Catastrophe by himself to fight.
"You and me now kid, one on one." Kisame pointed Samehada to the symbiotic ninja.
Naruto thought, 'This is pointless, Kisame hasn't gotten tired at all thanks to Samehada, and even if we were to separate the two he still has so much chakra, even Kyubi's wouldn't make a difference because he'll just absorb it to.'
'Isn't there any chakra he wouldn't be able to stand absorbing?' Catastrophe thought.
Naruto sighed not sure, until he recalled back during his training trip with Jiraiya remembering a special type of chakra he learned to harness that not many were capable of using or controlling. He smirked as Catastrophe powered down back to Naruto in his regular outfit, "Naruto why'd you de-transform?" Iron Man called as the two metal heroes were being fought by the water clones.
"Because we've been fighting Kisame the wrong way."
"Wrong way?" War Machine was confused.
"Yes, we see the way to fight a ninja like Kisame requires a different source of power." Naruto said as he stood still and everyone noticed the outlines around his eyes started turning orange and when he opened them his eyes appeared amphibian like.
'Whoa, what happened to him?' Hotaru thought.
'It can't be.' Tsunade thought.
"Behold Sage mode." Naruto announced.
"Sage mode?" Kisame asked.
"Yes if you think our symbiotes power was something wait till you get a taste of this!" Naruto said taking off going at it with Kisame with incredible strength and speed.
'What's with this kid? This sage chakra is unlike anything I've ever seen, I must have it!' Kisame thought while trying to avoid blows from Naruto who used the symbiote to mold a Rasengan in each of his palms.
"Rasen Rengan!" he thrusted the two spheres at Kisame sending him flying backwards knocking him into a stone wall.
The impact on him, disrupted his water clones making them dissolve along with the water prison freeing everyone. "Ah man I'm soaked, hey Storm how about whipping us a blow drying breeze?" Gambit asked the weather mutant.
"I will after we deal with Kisame." Storm said but Tsunade held everyone back.
"Lady Tsunade?" Ino asked.
"Don't worry we know Naruto has a plan." The Hokage assured everyone as Kisame got up and attacked Naruto some more.
'All right Kisame you want energy take it.' Naruto thought as he let himself get close to Samehada.
"Bad move kid. Samehada's already absorbing your so called Sage chakra.' Kisame chuckled as Naruto's eyes returned to normal.
"He took Naruto's chakra." Kurotsuchi gasped.
"Now Kisame has even more power." Beast feared.
"Don't be so sure." Tsunade said as she encouraged them to watch.
Kisame chuckled, "Yes I feel the sage chakra flowing through me, and now to use it on you!" He was about to strike Naruto until he looked at his hand seeing it was turning webbed, "What? What is this?" he gasped seeing his fingers grow warts. He looked at a puddle seeing his face was turning frog like, "AHHH! What's happening to me?"
Naruto smirked, "You don't know much about Sage chakra Kisame. It's when a ninja takes in natural energy from all around oneself and adds it to their regular spiritual and physical energies, but the problem is all three must be balanced perfectly, too little energy and it won't work, but too much will turn you into a frog."
"Frog?" Kisame shouted as his body was already converted into a human/frog hybrid.
The sight of a now frog Kisame got half the heroes chuckling, "Check it out toad man." Gambit chuckled.
"He's the second toad/human hybrid we've seen." Cyclops added.
"Maybe if he gets kissed he'll turn back." Spiderman cracked.
"I ain't kissing that." Rogue said.
"So much for Shark man." Johnny chuckled.
Kisame frowned, "Shark or Frog I'll still crush you like!" he threatened until he froze looking down at his foot seeing it turn to stone along with his right hand, "Wait what's happening now?"
"One last thing, not only will you turn into a frog but it will continue to overtake you until you've turned to stone." Naruto finished.
"WHAT?" Kisame shouted as he felt both his feet and legs become stone rendering him unable to move and his hands turned to stone making him unable to perform hand signs, "No this can't end for me! It can't!" he cried before his entire body save for his cloak, sword, and sandals turned to stone making him look like a human/frog stone statue wearing clothes.
"That was surprising." Cap said.
"But I'm glad it happened." Reed added.
"So this is the end for Kisame Hoshigaki? What a way to go." Mei said approaching the stone statue.
"Whatever way he went, he'll always be known as the Scourge of Kiri." Itachi said.
"Well let's make sure nothing happens to un-stone him." Tsunade said going Demolisher and with one little flick of her finger to the statue's forehead caused the whole being to crumble into pebbles leaving his clothes and sword behind.
"That's the end of him." Hotaru said.
"But what about that?" Shion asked motioning to Samehada.
Naruto smirked motioning to Tenten, "Go ahead."
"What really?" she asked in surprise.
"Another weapon to your arsenal sounds like a good idea doesn't it?" he asked.
Tenten smiled, "Yeah it does," She extended her symbiote and picked Samehada up holding it as the weapon shook a little before calming down, "Now it serves us."
"Yeah swell, can we go back to bed now?" Thing asked.
"In what? The place was totaled." Wolverine reminded him.
"Not for long." Tsunade said recreating a new place.
"Good as new." Naruto said as they went inside to get more sleep until morning.
Meanwhile at Akatsuki HQ, Pain was pacing around until bits of paper were flying in and came together forming Konan, "Pain, Kisame has failed."
"What? But how?"
"He was defeated by the absorption power of his own sword." She explained.
"Dormammu will not take this likely and neither will Madara."
"Pain… Nagato I've followed you into Akatsuki in hopes of making a brighter world, but it seems our path has just been diminishing ever since we've partnered with Dormammu and being under the order of Madara was bad enough." Konan explained.
"But you forget our goal Konan. With the tailed beasts soon this world will be under our control we will end war for good." Pain reminded her.
"How can we do that with Dormammu loose? He's going to consume all life on this planet." Konan reminded him.
"When he does we'll begin a new a lead a new world free of war and strife so no one will ever suffer what we went through," Pain replied, "Remember we're also doing this for the sake of Yahiko." He held Konan close.
"I know." Konan answered as the two leaned in and kissed. As their lips locked Konan couldn't help but shed a tear wondering if things will really work out for them in the end, but deep down had this hunch that it probably wouldn't.
