This is the first story I have ever done outside of school and my first attempt on writing romance. I plan to do my best.
Italics is thoughts
Bold is Kyuubi
I dont own Naruto, though I wish I did
In an instant the clear blue sky became dark. Streaks of lightning flashed among the clouds. When the lighting flashed two figures became visible. In the clearing stood two men each wearing a black cloak with red clouds. "Huh, is someone actually foolish enough to challenge you Itachi?" he lifted his sword off his back getting ready for a fight.
"Come on out, we know you're there," ordered Itachi. With that, five ninja jumped out forming a pentagram around the Akatsuki. All of them were wearing robes with a nine tailed fox on a midnight background. The flames from the fox reached all over the back of the garment.
"We are the Kyuubi's followers," the leader of the five inched forward, "My name is Kensei." Itachi stared where his eyes were supposed to be and saw nothing. Just above his eye sockets was a forehead protector with the symbol for lightning on it. He knew his Sharingan wouldn't affect this foe. Kisame looked around and noticed all the others enemies were missing eyes. In fact if it weren't for the symbols on their forehead protectors they would have thought that they were shadow clones. The other four had the remaining elemental symbols on their forehead protectors. Being completely surrounded Kisame and Itachi stood back to back. The five rushed the Akatsuki members. With their enemy's speed Itachi barely had time to jump in the air to throw five kunai. All the kunai just missed there target. Kensei stopped running and turned his gaze to Itachi, trying hard not to laugh at his bad aim, "You missed."
Itachi made a hand sign and the kunai blew up making the five fly to the edge of the clearing. "They're my special kunai," explained Itachi as he landed neatly on the ground, "hollowed out enough to hold explosive notes." Kisame made five water clones and rushed to the Kyuubi follower's.
"Water Prison" yelled each clone simutaniously. The group of five was surrounded by a bubble of water. Water began to fill the bubbles, making the occupants gasp for air each second.
"Water Elemental: body transformation jutsu," the water user, Umi made the necessary hands signs to perform his jutsu. Suddenly his body turned in to water. He walked right through the bubble, turning solid again the second he exited. He whipped out his kunai, and slashed his jailer. The jailor burst in to water. Umi turned his attention to his comrades. His four teammates didn't have much longer to live as their lungs continued to fill with water. It took a barrage of kunai destroying the rest of the water clones to make the Akatsuki aware of Umi's escape. Umi's teammates fell to the ground choking up water as the water prisons disappeared. After their lungs were cleaned they all rushed to Umi's side.
"Okay everyone, no more games," Kensei said. On each side of Densu stood a pair of elemental users. One side stood Umi and Kensei. On the other stood Kaze the wind user, and Asu the fire user.
"Fire and Wind elemental: Fire tornado," Kaze and Asu said.
Swirling flames shot towards Kisame. Kisame raised his sword to block the incoming attack. When the attack was about to hit his sword he heard a scream of pain. "He must of tried to use a lightning a attack with those shards of kunai embedded under his skin" He turned his head towards Kensei. With his attention diverted Kisame didn't notice his sword breaking under the pressure of the attack. Finally his sword shattered and the attack hit him.
"You should feel honored," Kaze panted, "no one has ever survived a dual elemental attack before." Kisame squirmed on the ground. The smell of burnt flesh hung in the air.
Itachi looked over at his smoldering friend. "Without Kisame it is five against one and I can't use my mangekyou sharingan. I must run." He threw the smoke bombs to the ground, but as he turned to run they were all ready waiting for him. Caught off guard they each jabbed him with a kunai. Itachi fell to his knees, "Well done." A smile crept on to his face as he fell to the side.
"Densu scout up ahead,"ordered Kensei. Densu started running back to their base. When he was far enough away he reached for the cross shape necklace under his robe. Teary eyed only one thought kept coming to his mind. "Why were we built to bring destruction to the world."
