This is a challenge from Storylover213. I don't own any of it. Focus will be back on Naruto instead of team 7.
Chapter 17: The Calm before the Storm
It had been a week since the death of Hidan and Kakuzu. Naruto had managed to collect their bounties and the duo had gone back to Konoha.
Naruto was sitting in the living room watching a move with Tsume, Yugito, and Fu when Kira walked in.
"Hey, daddy," the girl said, "Look what I found in the training yard."Naruto turned around to see his daughter holding a light brown bunny. The girl immediately cooed and went over to rub the animal's soft fur. While this was happening Naruto noticed that the rabbit had purple and black ripples in its eyes.
"Hey girls," Naruto said, "I'd hate to interrupt your kawaii moment, but I think that is a messenger summon from Nagato."
The girls all sighed overdramatically and set the small animal down on the ground.
The rabbit's eyes glowed before it fired a projection of Nagato forward.
The projection said, "Naruto as you know the only active members of the Akatsuki left are Tobi, Itachi, Kisame and one half of the member called Zetsu. Recently I have added a new member named Naraku Gin. He will be a sleeper agent in my organization and shall be partnered with the last remaining half of Zetsu. Now I'm not sure if Tobi is starting to catch on, but I saw him discussing something with Zetsu earlier today. If he is on to our plan then we need to strike fast. Bring Jiraiya and your friends to Ame in exactly three days. Then we shall begin our attack. Also tell Kira that she can keep the bunny. Consider it a really late birthday present. Goodbye."
As soon as the message was over Kira squealed and swept the small, fuzzy mammal up into her arms and started to cuddle it.
"Can I hold it?" Yugito asked.
"No! He's my bunny!" Kira said as she ran off.
"Oh come on I want to pet him too!" Yugito yelled in a child like manner as she ran after Naruto and Fu's daughter.
Tsume, Naruto, and Fu all burst out laughing as the duo ran around arguing over who got to hold Kira's new pet.
Naruto said, "Well…I got to go tell Tsunade about my uncle's plan. See you all later all right?"
Tsume said, "Okay see you later Naruto-kun!"
With that Naruto left and headed straight for the Hokage tower. The blonde entered the room to see that Tsunade was fast asleep on her desk with a few stacks of paperwork nearby. Naruto shook his head at the sight of the powerful yet lazy kage in front of him. Naruto walked over to the side of the room and pulled out a gong that Shizune had hidden there in case of such moment. Naruto drew back the stick and slammed it into the gong making a loud noise that got the secretary's attention outside.
Tsunade shot up with a scream as she clung to the roof using chakra looking around like she was a scared cat. Naruto laughed like crazy at seeing the powerful sannin digging her fingers into the roof.
Naruto whipped out a camera and snapped a photo before he said, "Finally I have a little future blackmail on you!"
Tsunade glared down at Naruto and got down from the ceiling.
"What is it Naruto?" Tsunade asked as she sat down.
"I need to talk to you and Jiraiya about something regarding the Akatsuki,"
At that moment there was a scream of "Pervert" from what sounded like Sakura. The sound of a loud impact a body flying through the air, someone screaming, and finally a body dropped through the ceiling with a loud crash. The person was then revealed to be Jiraiya. The man had a huge fist shaped indent in his face.
"Let me guess," Naruto said, "He was trying to peep on some of the girls at the hot springs again."
Tsunade nodded and said, "Yep. Good thing he ran into the former student of yours. it almost reminds me of how I would beat him when I found him peeping on me."
Jiraiya jumped up and the indent on his face popped out. He dusted himself off and looked at the duo in front of him like nothing had happened.
"Hey you two," Jiraiya said, "What did I miss?"
Naruto answered, "Nothing. We missed you getting your perverted butt handed to you by Sakura though. That is something I wanted to see."
Tsunade nodded and said, "Anyway I was just about to call you Jiraiya. Naruto has something he needs to tell us."
Naruto looked at the two kage level ninja and said, "A few minutes ago I got a message from Nagato Uzumaki aka Pain. He told me that there are only four active members of the Akatsuki left. He told me that he allowed another member to join who shall act like a sleeper agent. He told me to meet him near Amegakure in at least three days."
Jiraiya asked, "That sounds interesting. Who is this sleeper agent?"
Narut answered, "His name is Naraku Gin. Yugito and I encountered him on the mission to Kumo. He had an important hand in the battle with Kakuzu and Hidan. He actually played a hand in both of their deaths."
Jiraiya rubbed his chin and aid, "Okay…we'll go. Until then stock up, kiss your girlfriends and daughter's goodbye. We'll set for Ame tomorrow to make sure we get there in a decent amount of time."
Naruto got up and nodded. The blonde then went out of the office eto go stock up. He went to the local Higurashi shop. He stocked up on some food pills, a few kunai, shuriken, senbon, a few explosive notes, flash bombs, and a couple of his old man's tri-pronged kunai. He also got a few feet of ninja wire, and some food and plasma pills…just in case.
Naruto went home and told his girls about what was going to happen with Kira out of the room of course. The girls were a little upset at first, but they relented and allowed Naruto to go.
That night Naruto made everyone's favorites. Ramen for him, sushi for Yugito, a big hibachi style steak for Tsume, a big plate of dango and rice balls for Fu, and finally some fried chicken and shrimp for Kira.
They all ate in silence.
Later that night while Naruto was tucking Kira into bed he noticed that she looked a little bit upset.
"Is something wrong my little butterfly?" Naruto asked as h e looked at his daughter.
"I heard you're going to be leaving again," Kira chain said sadly, "I heard you talking to mommy and the others."
Naruto said, "I've gone before Kira-chan. I've always come back."
Kira sniffed and said, "but you might not this time. I heard how dangerous they are from the toher ninja around the village. I don't want ou to leave daddy. I don't want you to die!"
Naruto looked down at his crying little girl and hugged her.
"Listen to me Kira-chan," Naruto said, "Being in danger comes with the territory. If I didn't go you, your mommy, Yugito, and Tsume would all be in danger. That's the last thing that I want. If I don't' come back I want you to be strong for me. be strong and take care of your mothers for me especially fluffy (motions toward Kira's new rabbit) okay?"
Kira sniffed and said, "Okay, come back safe daddy."
The two hugged and Naruto kissed the girl on the forehead.
Naruto then tucked her in stepped out the door silently closing it.
Naruto then went back to his and his girls' room when he opened the door his jaw nearly hit the floor. His girls sat on the bed, all of them scantily clad, and looking at him with a come to me look in their eyes. Tsume got up and walked over to him with a slight sway in her step.
Tsume grinned as she saw Naruto's eyes drink in her form. She ran her hands nimbly over Naruto's chest and said, "Since we might only have you for one more night we might as well make the best of it."
Tsume then pulled the blonde into the room with a powerful yank and closed the door before she activated the silencing seal on the door.
The next morning…
Naruto was standing at the gate with his girls and his daughter around him. Jiraiya stood nearby with a smirk on his face as he saw the girls limping and how Naruto looked a little haggard after the whole thing.
"One word ero-sennin," Naruto said, "I'll feed you to one of my dragon summons and make sure that it hurts you badly before it feasts upon your insides."
Kira said, "Yeah, Ero-sennin."
Jiraiya grumbled about disrespectful brats and ot having any respect for their elders.
Naruto said, "Well be back in less than a week. If I'm not back by then…well you can guess."
Naruto then looked at Kira and said, "Be strong for me honey."
Kira hugged Fluffy closer to her chest and nodded. With that Naruto and his perverted godfather left for Amegakure.
Two days later a few miles away from Amegakure…
Naruto and Jiraiya stood just outside of Amegakure.
Naruto looked down at the village and said, "Where is he? He should have met us by now."
At that moment Naruto and Jiraiya sensed a new presence behind him. Naruto spun around and threw a punch just to have it caught by a man with orange hair that had multiple piercings. Naruto would have attacked again if it wasn't for the fact that he noticed he had purple eyes with a lack ripple pattern.
"Nagato?" naruto asked.
The man said, "Close. I am a part of one of his abilities for the Rinnegan called the Six Paths of Pain. I am what is called the Preta Path. The real Nagato sent me as a messenger. He told you that the attack will commence in three minutes. We're going to need something to draw Amegakure's forces away from center of the village where the Akatsuki meets."
Naruto rubbed his chin and said, "I believe I know how. Tell him that the attack will commence in five minutes maybe more."
The path nodded before he vanished in a puff of smoke.
Naruto quickly drew some blood on his thumb and said, "Summoning Jutsu: Five Dragon Warlords!"
In a huge blast of smoke five dragons appeared all of them were eastern dragons.
The first one had dark red scales on his back and an orange underbelly with orange crest running down his back. His mane was made of fire on his head was a crown made out of molten rock. His eyes were actually made of blue fire. This was Pyretheses, the fire warlord.
The second dragon had gray scales on his back and a peppermint green underbelly. It also had peppermint green spines going down its back. He had a feathery mane and his crown was made of condensed air. His eyes shined white and gray in the light. This was Ventinus the wind warlord.
The third dragon had gold scales on its back, and dark gray underbelly and dark gray spikes running down its back. His made was made of electricity and its crown looked like it was made of a bunch of magnets. His eyes flashed electric blue. This was Raidein (pronounced Rye-dane) the lightning warlord.
The fourth dragon was completely brown. His eyes were a golden brown and his mane looked like it was made of iron and his crown was made out of rubies. This was Gaelanos, the earth warlord.
The last dragon was entirely dark blue. His eyes were sea green and he had a mane made of steam and crown made out of ice. This was Llevianus the water warlord.
The five eastern dragons bowed to Naruto and said in unison, "For what reason have you summoned us Naruto-sama?"
Naruto said, "I want you five to go with a clone of mine to five different corners of this village. When given the signal you and the clones are to attack. Am I understood?"
The five dragons nodded and Naruto formed five shadow clones that went with the dragons who cloaked themselves so that they wouldn't be seen.
The group went through to the five points of the village.
After about five minutes of waiting the dragons focus their power and the clones started going through hand signs.
Pyrethese: Dragon Release: Flames of Rage!"
Clone 1: Fire style: Ultimate Technique: Rage of the Dragon God!
Ventinus: Dragon Release: Tempest Wind Rage!
Clone 2: Wind Style: Ultimate Technique: Rage of the Wind God!
Raidein: Dragon Release: White Lightning Circus!
Clone 3: Lightning Style: Ultimate Technique: Thor's Hammer!
Gaeianos: Dragon Release: Great Beast Quake!
Clone 4: Earth Style: Ultimate Technique: Wrath of Gaia!
Llevianus: Dragon Release: Water Dragon Storm!
Clone 5: Water Style: Ultimate Technique: Posiedon's Wrath!
Two huge blasts of pure white flames, two category 5 hurricanes, one large blast of lightning, a swarm of lightning bolts, a huge earthquake, and an enormous flood hit the sides of Amegakure. The village was immediately thrown into turmoil as the walls around the village crumbled and multiple buildings were flattened.
The ninja of Amegakure rushed towards the attack sites and were immediately attacked by the five warlords. The clones had dispersed as soon as they launched their jutsu.
Naruto and Jiraiya shot into the city running through the village to get to the center where the Akatsuki slept.
Meanwhile…
Naraku shot up as he heard the sound of explosions and screams of pain. He ran out of his room and immediately found that the others were running for the main chamber.
He followed them and found Pain's Deva path waiting for them.
"Leader-sama," the white half of Zetsu said, "What is going on?"
The deva path answered, "It is simple Zetsu…your destruction."
The remaining Aktasuki members looked shocked when they heard this. Suddenly Naraku shot forward and swung his weapon effortlessly slicing through the Zetsu's remaining body. Less than a second later all of Zetsu's body was sliced to pieces.
Kisame roared, "Traitor!"
He swung Samehada just for Naraku's long sword to turn into a greta sword and take the full brunt of the attack.
"Is that all you got?!" Naraku yelled as he pushed back and with a mighty kick knocked Kisame through a nearby wall.
The silver eyed man jumped after the fish man to continue their fight.
Tobi glared at Pain and said, "How dare you betray me Pain!?"
The rest of thepaths of pain appeared and the real Nagato appeared. He was walking easily as he had finally gotten used to his new legs. Konan appeared nearby with her powers at the ready.
Nagato answered, "You should have known that I would find out that the Kyuubi jinchuuriki was my nephew. For my clan, family stood above all else. Now Tobi…it is time for you to die!"
With that the paths of pain, Nagato, and Konan charged at Itachi and Madara.
The final battle had finally begun.
Cut! Okay the final battle is about to begin. The next chapter will be Nagato and Konan vs. Itachi and Tobi, Kisame vs. Naraku, and Finally Naruto and Jiraiya vs. Tobi. Then there will be an epilogue. Hopefully the ending for this will be better than the endings for my other stories. I still can't figure out why the endings for all my stories seem to suck. Anyway see you all next time. Bye.
