This is a challenge from Storylover213. I don't own any of it. Focus will be back on Naruto instead of team 7.

Chapter 15: Mission to Kumo and new recruits.

It had been a few days since Naruto had met up with long lost uncle. Nagato informed Konoha on all the Akatsuki members, the immortal duo Hidan and Kakuzu, the contradicting pair Kisame and Itachi, the plant weirdo Zetsu, and finally the mysterious masked man named Tobi. Nagato told them that Tobi thought he was the reincarnation of the long dead Madara Uchiha due to the fact that he had one of his eyes transplanted into his face. Nagato originally thought he was crazy, but went along with it in his quest for eternal peace. He told Naruto that he would send them info on when the Akatsuki members would move and where they were going. When they were down enough members they would attack and take down the Akatsuki in their home base in Amegakure.

Naruto agreed to this since it seemed like a thorough plan. Nagato hadn't gotten to meet Kira yet, because Naruto didn't fully trust him, Nagato knew that he would gain his nephews trust eventually.

Deep in Amegakure…

Pain's Deva path stood before the remaining members of the Akatsuki: Tobi, Kisame, Itachi, Hidan, and Zetsu.

The Deva path stepped forward and said, "Hidan, Kakuzu I need you two to go to Hidden Cloud Village. You are to find the eight tails and bring him down. Knowing their connection if they find out the two tails and nine tails are bound to show up as well."

Hidan grinned maniacally and said, "Finally I get to send more poor souls to Lord Jashin!"

Kakuzu rolled his eyes at his comrade's antics and they turned to leave.

The path then turned to Kisame and Itachi and said, "I want you two to go to Kirigakure. The six tails has finally resurfaced."

The two nodded and left. As they did Kisame said, "I can't believe we have to take on a giant freaking slug."

Itachi said, "Do not be so impatient, Kisame. The six tails may provide you with a challenge that you so desperately seek."

Kisame huffed and hefted his sword onto his back.

The man turned to Zetsu and said, "Zetsu split and follow both teams to report on their progress. If any of them fail in their mission kill them."

Zetsu nodded before his black and white halves split in two and melded into the ground.

Tobi floated up to Pain and said, not in his usually cheery tone, "You seem to be taking a bit of a stand sending both of our teams out. Why tell Zetsu to kill them if they fail?"

The path answered, "We have already failed once in the retrieval of the one tails. The only reason I wasn't able to make an example of Sasori or Deidara was because they were already dead."

Tobi actually grinned behind his mask, "You are becoming quite the ruthless leader Pain. I like that."

As he floated away he thought, 'Too bad your power is a threat to my future plans. You made such a great leader too. Oh well…all good things must come to an end my puppet.'

Tobi was so enwrapped in his thoughts that he never noticed a small toad in the corner of the room with Rinnegan eyes vanish in a puff of smoke.

In Konoha…

Kira yelled, "I'm gonna get you, daddy!"

Naruto yelled back, "No you aren't!"

If anyone was able to see what was going on they would sworn of alcohol if they were drunk. They would see Naruto flying through the air with one eye green and the other one red, while Kira flew after him with her wings green.

This was actually both an exercise and a game for the duo. Naruto got to push his chakra to its limit by constantly shifting the chakra around him using his wind and fire powers. It also helped Kira get a good grip on flying and allowed her to enhance her maneuverability. All of that was wrapped up into one colossal game of tag.

As the father daughter duo was flying around in the air and ear splitting scream was heard from the Namikaze household down below.

The two stopped flying as Yugito came out of the house and yelled, "Naruto! There some freaky toad with ripple eyes in here. Get it to leave before Fu here has a meltdown."

Naruto sighed when he heard tha about Fu. Being the fact that Fu had an insect sealed inside her she had a slight fear of frogs and toads since they were one of the many natural enemies of bugs. It also didn't help that when she was three some teenage boys played a prank on her that involved throwing her in a barrel full of frogs and toads. She's been slightly freaked out by them.

Naruto and Kira flew down and landed at the gate before they all walked in. They found the light brown toad with a ripple patterned eye.

"Looks like Nagato sent his contact," Naruto said.

Fu said, "Just get it out!"

The green haired babe was currently jumped up and a typical damsel in distress fashion in Tsume's arms gripping her so tight that the dog themed woman was starting to turn blue.

"What is it that Nagato needs to tell us?" Naruto asked the amphibian.

The toad opened its mouth and a recording of what was said was heard.

"Thanks" Naruto said, "Tell Nagato that Yugito and I will go to Kumo to help out Kirabi. Also can you tell him to send something small and fuzzy? Just don't send a cat or a dog on the fact that we have a dog and cat themed women living with me. The last thing I need is for the house to get wrecked. Anyway, good luck with the plan. Say goodbye Kira-chan."

Kira ran up and said, "Bye Great Uncle Naga! Bye pretty paper lady!"

With that the amphibian disappeared in a puff of smoke. When it did Fu got off Tsume and she started rocking back and forth on the couch in a fetal position muttering, "Slimy…warts…long tongues…icky…"

Naruto shook his head and said, "Tsume-chan when Fu gets out of her funk could you go tell Tsunade where we went? The last thing I need is to be declared a missing nin by one of the people who still hates me."

Tsume nodded as she rubbed Fu's head as she was still rocking back and forth.

The duo ran out of the compound and Naruto summoned a dragon that flew up with them on their back and shot out in the direction of Kumo.

Meanwhile…

Itachi and Kisame were walking through a murky area in the land of water.

Eventually they found who they were looking for. Sitting in a tree was a tall thin man with pale golden eyes and black hair that went down to his shoulders. His side parting let a large portion of his bangs cover the left side of his face. He wore a long, light blue kimono adorned with a small emblem of three bubbles on the back, and a pair of black pants underneath, with an orange sash. The kimono hangs loose, exposing his chest. In it, he carries a bamboo jug filled with a soap solution, and a pipe.

The man looked towards them and said, "Oh…were you sent by Kiri? Well I'll tell you what I told that pain in the neck Yagura I'm not going back."

Itachi said, "Not entirely. Our master has a need for you and I would prefer that you come peacefully."

Kisame looked at his partner and said "Oh come on at least let me cut off his legs so he can't run away."

Utakata took out his pipe and dipped it in some solution. The man then said, "Allow me to think for a moment. Okay done…here's my answer. Water Style: Acid Bubbles!"

The six tailed jinchuuriki blew on his pipe sending green colored bubbles outward at the two Akatsuki members.

Almost immediately the water in the muck around them shot up and formed a water wall around him blocking the bubbles and sending the acid to sink below into the water.

"Bubbles huh?" Kiame said, "No attack like the unexpected one. Now …let's play."

Kisame ripped the bandages off his weapon revealing the multiple blades that covered his weapon. He charged while Kisame rolled his eyes as he saw his partner's battle crazed antics.

Back around the Kumo area…

Hidan was currently swinging his scythe decapitating a few of the ninja and villagers that were around them.

"Hidan" Kakuzu said annoyed, "Do we have to do this every time we see a group of villagers that we come across. If we fail because of this your stupid ritual then we are so screwed."

Hidan spun around and yelled, "Shut up Kakuzu. I have to please Jashin-sama! Oh great Jashin-sama don't let this nonbeliever's stupidity insult you!"

With Hidan's last sacrifice done the silver haired sadist and his partner left. As they did though they never noticed a pair of silver eyes filled with anger.

Meanwhile in a higher plane of existence…

A little kid's laughter could be heard as he watched TV. On it was Hidan killing the people of the village and sacrificing them. He laughed as he saw this, but his mirth suddenly turned to fear when he felt a shadow standing over him.

He turned around to see Kami standing above him with a very angry look on his face.

"Jashin!" the god said his voice thundering, "What did I tell you about making crazed priests that are immortal?"

The boy shuffled his feet nervously and answered, "To not to daddy."

Kami nodded and said, "Good now go to your room and think about what you've done. I'll clean up this mess."

Jashin said, "But daddy…"

Kami interrupted and said, "No buts little mister. Now go!"

Jashin sighed and walked away grumbling about unfair parents and never being allowed to have any fun.

Kami sighed and went to see if he could do something about a certain bloodthirsty priest.

Back on Earth…

Naruto and Yugito sat on the back of the dragon Naruto summoned and were flying at top speed towards Kumo.

"We might actually beat those two immortal freaks there," Naruto said, "From what Nagato told me one is money hungry and the other is insane over some fake god."

Elsewhere, Hidan sneezed and yelled about somebody disgracing the great and powerful Jashin which earned him a powerful right hook from Kakuzu.

Yugito yelled, "Look!"

Naruto and Yugito looked down to see two people with Kumo headbands.

The first was a tall muscular man with white hair and a goatee. He had the kanji for iron tattooed on his right shoulder. On his left cheek was the tattoo of a bull's horns. He wore some oval shaped sunglasses, a white forehead protector, a white one-strap-over-one-shoulder flak jacket, and a long red rope wrapped around his waist. He also had white hand guards and shin guards and had a total of seven swords sheathed on his back.

The second was a fairly tall dark skinned man with shaggy white hair that covered his left eye. His nose was slightly larger than normal and he had a lazy look in his eyes. He wore a black high collared sleeveless uniform with loose fitting black pants, bandages around his arms, and a one-strap-over-one-shoulder flak jacket. He had the kanji symbols for water and lightning tattooed on his left and right shoulder's respectively and he had a foldable cleaver like sword on his back.

The dragon roared getting the duo's attention. The lazy look in the second man's eyes was gone as his eyes widened as he saw the massive reptile landed on the ground.

The blonde duo jumped off the legendary monster and landed in front of the two Kumo Shinobi.

"Hey Darui-san, Kirabi-sensei," Yugito yelled, "Remember me?"

The large man with sunglasses said, "Hey Yugito! What you know? How you been doing over in Kono?"

Yugito answered, "First of all, I've been doing good. second of all…STOP IT WITH THE RHYMING!"

The attractive blonde then smashed the man over the head with her fist making him face plant. Kirabi then got up and nrushed himself off like nothing happened.

"Does he always have to talk like that?" Naruto asked.

Darui said, "He does. It isn't dull when he does it through because the reactions of the other people around him are completely hilarious."

Kirabi was currently writing down the rhyme he made earlier and was putting the book away when he looked at Naruto.

"Hey," the eight tails said, "I can sense the nine tails chakra inside of the kid over there."

Kirabi walked towards the blonde and said, "Hey, boyo. Eight-o cans sense the power of the nine-o."

Naruto then smacked Kirabi over the head and said, "Enough with the rapping. Seriously, I've only heard you talk twice so far and I've already want to rip you a new one. Anyway, I used to be the jinchuuriki of Kurama. He passed on a few years ago."

Kirabi winced and Gyuki, the eight tails, was raging about how it wasn't fair that he wouldn't get the chance to kick that stupid to the curb the next time he got to see him.

Meanwhile inside Yugito Matatabi, the two tailed cat, whined and said, "I miss my dear sweet Kyuu-kun."

Yugito sighed as when the two tailed cat was sent into a deep wailing fit when she found out that Kyuubi was died and was completely gone.

The group was brought out of their discussion when two people arrived.

"Well well what do we have here?" Hidan said with a cruel smirk, "We have the two tails, the nine tails, and the eight tails all in one place. This is going to be easy."

Kakuzu nodded and said, "Yeah...where have I seen that other guy before."

The man took out a little book and said, "Oha yeah….Darui of the black lightning. We can turn you into to one of the neighboring countries. I think they would pay a pretty price for those black lightning techniques of yours."

Darui glared at the man before he unsheathed his massive cleaver sword, unfolded it, and had it at the ready.

"Hey," Darui said, "Yugito…you want to join me in a rumble with the masked guy for old time sake?"

Kakuzu cracked his knuckles and grinned as he thought of the money he was going to get for turning in Darui to one of the neighboring villages.

"Well, nine-o," Kirabi said, "Looks you me against the crazy emo! Ooh, that's a good one!"

The man took out a book and pencil and started to write down the latest rhyme.

Naruto looked at the man strangely.

Hidan snarled and yelled, "DON'T IGNORE ME YOU FREAK!"

Hidan charged with his scythe pulled back and was prepared to decapitate Kirabi. The large man took his pencil and focused his lightning chakra into his pencil before he threw it forward. The small utensil being used as a weapon caught Hidan by surprise. The pencil pierced and came out the back of Hidan's shoulder and smashed into the ground behind him.

Hidan clutched his limb in pain. Kirai took a deep breath and blasted a cloud of ink from his mouth. Hidan was hit by the cloud with got in his eyes making them sting and he screamed at the pain in his eyes.

Naruto caught the idea before his eyes turned white. He drew back his arms and yelled, "Thunder Clap!"

Naruto clapped his hands together and sent a wave of electricity at the man. Hidan was hit the lightning blast that went through the ink and blasted through his chest. Hidan stumbled back and roared in fury.

"Look what you did to me!" he yelled, "You will pay!"

Hidan went forward shocking Kirabi and Darui. Yugito and Naruto weren't surprised though from the information that they got from Nagato and Konan.

"Dauri," Naruto said, "If you want to kill Kakuzu you got to slice five or six times. Kirabi lets wipe this freak off the face of the earth."

Darui's bored expression was replaced with an interested one and he said, "Now this isn't dull. Let's rumble!"

Darui shot forward and swung his cleaver sword slicing Kakuzu's chest, but not enough to kill him the first time. Darui focused power into his hand and slammed his fist into Kakuzu's jaw knocking him backwards. Yugito followed after him.

Naruto dodged a swing from Hidan's scythe and countered with a vicious uppercut. Hidan stumbled from the powerful impact and was then knocked down when Kirabi shot forward and slammed a powerful lightning chakra enhanced fist into his face.

Hidan jumped up and yelled, "Is that all you pansies got?!"

Naruto growled, "Oh you did not just call me a pansy! Roar, Ryutou!"

In a burst of flame Naruto's katana was by a zanbatou.

Naruto charged and swung the sword and it met with Hidan's triple bladed weapon with a loud clang.

Yugito and Darui vs. Kakuzu…

Kakuzu dodged another punch from Darui, but a follow up punch from Yugito knocked him back. Kakuzu unleashed a punch of his own. The duo dodged and it was a good thing it did. The power behind the punch was enough to shatter the ground.

Yugito went through hand signs and yelled, "Hellfire Blast!"

Purple and blue flames burst from Yugito's mouth at an incredible speed. Kakuzu vanished in a burst of speed. The flames actually managed to burn Kakuzu's cloak. When they got a look at Kakuzu's back they saw that he had four masks on his back. They immediately got that that might be why Naruto told them to kill this guy about five times.

Darui went through hand signs and said, "Storm Style: Laser Circus!"

A glowing aura appeared on his hands and he fired a barrage of lasers from his hands. Kakuzu dodged them thanks to his incredible speed. However, own victory was short lived as one blasted his arm off. The two ninja were shocked when multiple black threads shot out of his severed elbow and reattached the severed part.

Yugito got out of her shock first and focused her powers with Matatabi's chakra and she shot forward with speed that matched Kakuzu. The duo grappled and jumped into the air and started trading blows DBZ style. Kakazu managed to slam his kneed into Yugito's stomach making her double over. He was about to bring his elbow down when Yugito vanished in a blur of speed.

Kakuzu suddenly found himself stabbed in the back by Darui's sword making him scream out in pain. The pain grew and his arm went completely numb as the Kumo ninja focused lightning chakra into the blade making him cry out in pain. Darui threw the man away before Yugito came up again and focused the Nibi's chakra into her hands.

"Hellfire Claws!"

Purple and blue flames appeared on the woman's hands and formed cat like claws. The large claws stabbed into Kakuzu's chest and stabbed into his chest destroyed his two more hearts leaving him only two left. Kakuzu growled in anger before throwing a fist up and slamming Yugito in the jaw knocking her onto the ground. The immortal doll man then grabbed Darui's arm and twisted him around before throwing him into the ground. He pulled the sword upward and out of his sword and the black threads sealed his wounds.

The black threads spread over Kakuzu's arms and a mask appeared in both hands.

"Fire Style: Intelligent Hard Work! Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

One mask started to inflate and burn when Kakzu smashed into is other arm the flames shot forward and the pressurized attack from the other mask combined with it turning the orange/red fire white.

Yugito went through a few hand signs of her own and yelled, "Breath of the Two-tailed Cat!"

An enormous blast of purple and blue flames erupted from Yugito's mouth and soared forward slamming into Kakuzu's own fire attack. The two fire attacks met and canceled eachother out with a resounding boom. The grass was burned on the ground.

Unfortunately for Kakuzu he was closer and the explosion left him dazed.

Darui quickly formed a shadow clone and they both yelled, "Lightning Style: Twin Black Panthers!"

Dauri and his clones both fired black lightning from their hands that took the shape of two large cats that charged right at Kakuzu's hearts. Kakuzu twisted himself at the last second taking the blast on only one side. When the smoke cleared all of Kakuzu's left side was completely gone.

"I'll get you for this," Kakuzu croaked, "I'll get you!"

Kakuzu's hand was still replaced by a mask and pointed it at Kakuzu with the intent of killing them both with this attack.

"Moon Release: Full Moon Slash!"

Suddenly a huge blast of silver chakra and sliced right through Kakuzu's remaining heart. The man gagged for a second before he was suddenly sliced to pieces.

Yugito and Darui saw a flash of silver and gold in the distance. The duo ran for it to find the guy who just killed Kakuzu with a single stroke.

Meanwhile…

The fight was not going good for Naruto and DArui. They quickly found tht Hidan's self proclaimed immortality wasn't just hot air. The man had taken fire balls, lightning bolts, pressurized blasts, giant rocks, and water blasts and hadn't died yet. He had also managed to take some of Kirabi's physical assaults and hadn't died even a lightning enhanced sword assault hadn't killed him.

"You won't be able to kill me just yet," Hidan mocked, "Thanks to Jashin-sama I am immortal!"

In the higher plane of existence Kami groaned and rubbed his temples in annoyance while, in his room, Jashin had a feeling that he would be in big trouble when his dad came in.

Back on earth Naruto was growing more annoyed and growled, "That's it. I'm getting sick of this clown! Shake the-"

Naruto was cut off when a voice yelled, "Moon Release: Moonlight Wave!"

A sudden wave of silver energy shot forward and sliced Hidan's arm off. Hidan screamed in pain. They turned around to see a new character standing on the ridge.

The figure was tall with long spiky silver hair (think Inuyasha's hairdo). His eyes, much like his hair was deep silver. He was wearing a black long sleeve shirt, with black long pants. Over that was an intricate looking armor that looked like a knight/samurai combination with a moon symbol etched on the back. In his hand, still coated, with silver chakra, was an intricate broadsword with the image of the moon's phases on the blade.

"I don't believe it," Gyuki said, "I thought they were all dead."

Kirabi thought, 'What you mean eight-o?"

The eight tails answered, "Many years before Kumo was founded there was a village called the Hidden Moon Village in Lightning country. They were known for their abilities in swordsman ship. They were even known for their special chakra wich was known as moon chakra. It is a fusion of fire, wind, and lightning chakra and is the ultimate cutting form. There was even a special version they called the Gingetsu Myaku that granted them more powerful abilities. The village was supposedly destroyed when a plague swept through the village and killed the villagers and their warriors. Apparently, one of them survived and passed the bloodline on through all these years."

The man growled and jumped down.

He glared right at Hidan said, "Hidan right? Do you know who I am?"

Hidan said, "No."

The man said, "I am Naraku Gin the last member of my clan. You and that stitched up freak tore through my village and killed all my friends, everyone I knew. Now…I'm going to carve their tombstones out of your insane hide!"

Hidan grinned before he reached down and picked up his arm. He reattached it with a sickening crunch.

"Should we help him?" Naruto asked.

Kirabi answered, "Nah…I think this guy can handle himself."

The two silver haired fighters charged at eachother letting out battle cries. The two met with loudn clangs as their steel weapons met in show of sparks. Again and again the sound of singing steel echoed through the area. Naraku pushed against Hidan's arm and knocked him backwards. Gin drew back his arm and unleashed a vicious fire chakra enhanced punch on Hidan's jaw.

Hidan jumped up and swung his scythe to try and cut him. When it came close a layer of silver chakra repelled the blade.

Hidan looked shocked as did the others, even Darui and Yugito who just arrived.

"Do you like it?" Naraku asked, "I call it my moon armor. It activates whenever I feel I'm in danger. It able to deflect most techniques up to B-rank and is able to stop even the sharpest of blades. In other words that whole Jashinist thing you got going on isn't going to help you."

Hidan was nervous. If this was true then he was in big trouble. If he couldn't cut the guy he couldn't use his immortality to his advantage. And if he was able to kill Kakuzu then it was obvious that he was no pushover. Hidan was starting to think that he would need that technique.

Suddenly a group of Kumo jonin and a few chuunin appeared. Hidan silently thanked Jashin and grinned evilly.

"Kirabi-sama," the lead jonin said, "What is going on?"

Before Kirabi could yell at them to stay back Hidan jumped up and swung his scythe. One by one the kumo ninja fell and Hidan above the corpses.

Hidan yelled, "Now you're dead you silver eyed freak. Time to show you the ultimate power bestowed upon me by the great Jashin-sama! Multi-sacrificial technique: Great Blood Golem!"

Hidan smashed his scythe staff into the ground and the blood from the dead ninja was suddenly ripped from the bodies and wrapped around him. Not just the blood, but the flesh, skin, and bone marrow went up into the formation as well. Soon a massive golem wielding a massive scythe stood towering above the ninja.

The monster laughed sending out a demonic version of Hidan's voice.

"Now you pathetic worms," Hidan said, "You will all fall before the power of my ultimate technique!"

"Wow," Naruto said, "When did he learn to do that? Nagato didn't say anything about it."

Kirabi looked at the blonde and shrugged slightly.

Naraku laughed out loud and said, "Is that all you got? Let me show you a real giant!"

Silver chakra covered the man with a shout then he threw his head back with a powerful shout.

"Gingetsu Myaku Transformation: Tsukuyomi the Moon Warrior!"

In an explosion of silver chakra a golem just as big as the blood golem stood tall. It was tall and completely silver. It wore armor like the kind Naraku wore, but much more silver and a lot less gold. Its eyes flashed a dark blue and in his hands was a great sword that looked incredibly sharp. The Moon Warrior roared and pointed his sword at the blood golem.

The two charged at each other and their weapons met with a loud clang and the ground cracked beneath eh strain. The two met again and again with multiple clangs of metal as they struck each other again and again.

"Hey Kirabi," Naruto said, "Why is it we aren't joining this?"

The eight tailed jinchuuriki blinked behind his sunglasses and said, "I don't know. Let's join this party!"

Kirabi started to radiate red charka. Suddenly a few chakra tentacles and some chakra ox horns appeared. After that his flesh and clothes burned and his body was covered in black and red muscle with an ox skeleton over him. Then in a burst of crimson chakra there was a giant ox like creature made entirely out of what looked like muscle and the right horn was missing.

Naruto held out his sword and yelled, "Shake the ground with your and with your flames burn my enemies to cinders, Belthan!"

There was a flash of black and Naruto stood on the back of a massive dragon. The dragon was huge. It was a huge humanoid looking western dragon with ten wings spread across his back. His scales were pitch black and the scales on his chest were red. He had large curved horns, six rows of dagger like teeth, and six evil looking eyes.

"I was wondering when you would call me boy," Belthan growled, "It was getting awfully cramped inside that sword of yours. So you summoned me to fight a simple Jashinist? What a disappointment."

Naruto said, "We also have the moon warrior over there. For all we know he might end up attacking us after this."

The blood golem growled and said, "I don't care how big any of you clowns can get. I'll kill you all."

The enhanced Kirabi charged and slammed his horns into the golem's chest making him double over. The two giants grappled just in time for a blast of black flames to slam into the monster's side. A large tail smashed into its head and then it dropped on his back. The moon warrior picked the fallen golem up and then threw him like a rag doll and he hits the ground hard.

The blood golem got up and then multiple iron spikes, made from the iron in the blood, shot out and nearly pierced the moon warrior's armor.

Belthan growled, "Know despair mortal. Fear Release: Six Demon Eyes!"

All six of Belthan's open eyes and they flashed a sickening yellow color. Suddenly the golem started screaming as dark horrors that no human should have to experience went through his mind.

Belthan said, "Time to end this farce."

All three started to focus for an attack. Fire, water, lightning, earth, and wind started to focus in Belthan's mouth.

Red chakra focused in the air in front of the Hachibified Kirabi's face.

Silver flames, wind, and lightning focused around the massive sword the moon warrior wielded.

Belthan: "Fear Release: Ultimate Nightmare Blast!"

Hachibi/kirabi: "Hachibiki Imari (Eight-tailed Menacing Ball)!"

Moon Warrior: "Silver Storm Blade!"

A stream of night sky black chakra fired from Belthan's mouth, a huge blast of crimson chakra was fired from the Hachibified Kirabi, and a silver electrified laser blast was launched from the Moon Warrior's sword.

When the attacks hit the explosion was immense. The blood golem screamed in agony as his body was destroyed. Darui and Yugito dug their legs into the ground to try to not be blown away by the shockwave. Not only was the body destroyed, but in the blast front the black half of Zetsu was hit and destroyed.

In plumes of smoke and flashes of light the giants were gone and the humans were back.

"That was awesome!" Naruto yelled, "He silver guy thanks for….where did he go?"

The duo looked around saw that Naraku was gone. Apparently he left after he destroyed Hidan.

"That was awesome," Naruto said, "Listen Kirabi there are a few more of these guys out there."

Kirabi grinned and said, "Thanks for the help nine-o. Kumo or not your now my bro!"

Naruto sweat dropped and said, "Seriously man enough with the rapping! Anyway, Yugito and I might want to get back to the Konoha before someone starts to miss us. See you later, you rapper wannabe!"

Kirabi grinned. Then he realized what Naruto said and yelled, "Hey!"

By then Naruto and Yugito had jumped on the back of another dragon and had flown off with Kirai shaking his fist at the flying lizard and shouting curses at him."

Later in Amegakure…

The Deva path stood in front of the remaining Akatsuki members.

"It would seem that Hidan and Kakuzu have failed," the path said in a bored tone.

Kisame grumbled something unintelligible. He was a little embarrassed from his fight because he had been caught in a bubble and almost killed by a bunch of bubbles when the fight happened. He would have killed when the Utakata used the bubble to try and crush him if Itachi hadn't saved him using his Sharingan.

Zetsu's white half came up through the floor.

"Zetsu," the Deva Path said, "Where is your other half?"

"Destroyed Pain-sama," Zetsu said, "Apparently it was destroyed in the battle's crossfire."

The Deva Path said, "Unfortunate. I take it since they have not yet returned that they have failed."

Tobi nodded and said, "They must have failed Pain-sama. They were bad unlike Tobi. Tobi is a good boy."

Everyone rolled their eyes.

"For now we must wait," the man said, "With the six tails under our control again we can begin an attempt up on the one tails. For now we wait."

Itachi asked, "Why must we wait Pain-sama? Me and Kisame are ready to deploy?"

The Deva path answered, "You need to rest. The Ichibi Jinchuuriki is powerful until he is subdued. You are of no use to us dead. For now rest…in the mean time…I believe I may have found a new recruit for our cause."

With his business done the Path returned to his master's side and the remaining Aktasuki members left. As they did Tobi was in thought. Pain was acting strangely in recent day. Was he trying to betray him to Konoha? Tobi immediately shook his head against these thoughts. Pain was a patient man and they would need all the strength they had left to fight and contain the Jinchuuriki.

Besides he knew that Pain was a patient man. He waited many years for peace and he could wait a few days more.

Later at an unknown location…

Naraku Gin sat on log in front of a small campfire. He was using a whetstone to sharpen his sword. He grinned as he sharpened his weapon at the thought of getting back at those freaks that wiped out his town. He was the last of his kind, the protector of his village and he had avenged them. He stopped sharpening as he recalled the other three. They had powerful chakra like his…were they descendent of his old clan as well?

The sound of a snapping twig got his attention.

He rose up and pointed his weapon at the direction of the noise and said, "Who's there? I know someone is out there so come out!"

Out of the darkness Nagato slowly came. He was walking better since he practiced a lot on his new legs. He looked at the man he was just how Naruto's summon had described him. He mentally thanked his nephew for telling him about this man as he may be of use.

"Calm yourself friend," Nagato said, "I mean you know harm."

Naraku lowered his weapon, but not his guard.

"What do you want?" the silver eyed man asked his muscles tense.

Nagato answered, "I have a proposition for you."

Cut! Okay Akatsuki is down to Itachi, Kisame, one half of Zetsu, and Tobi. The next chapter is the prelude to the attack on Amegakure. How will the fight go? What will happen? Well you'll just have to wait and find out when I next update. Okay see you all later.
