(Location: valley of the end border of the fire country)
The skies grew dark with the sound of thunder joining the dark weather. The large valley grew silent which it was the calm before the storm at the upcoming battle that was about to take place. It was going to be a stormy day today indeed or perhaps the prelude of things to come. As another thunder roar across the skies the two figures that were standing at the valley weren't affected by the loud rumbling from the thunder. It was like time has stop between the two individuals, neither one made a move they were just staring at each other. Probably because this was their first time they were meeting face to face, at least for the young Uchiha that's what he believes. The two warriors who were obviously Kitsune Flash and the missing nin from Konoha Uchiha Sasuke were in the entrance to the valley. It was the large waterfall which it was separated by two giant stone statues who were the two founders of Konoha. The first Hokage Senju Hashirama and the founder of the Uchiha clan Uchiha Madara, ironically the two ninjas have fought in the same place during Madara's defection from the leaf village.
It was also the same place where the two former friends and teammates Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke fought five years ago. Sasuke has already felt the nostalgia hit him remembering the fight like it was yesterday and it made him angrier by the minute. He was defeated by the same person who was considered the dead last of the village it was worst that he was defeated by him when he was supposed to be the last of the Uchiha clan and a prodigy. His anger flared as he activated his sharingan his crimson eyes turned to looked at the other figure next to the mask mercenary Kitsune Flash. It was his brother Itachi who was tied up in a chakra like rope he was unconscious. Sasuke was trying to control his anger but he was failing miserably. The mask mercenary which he envied a lot for his strength and popularity has defeated his older brother who was a true prodigy of the Uchiha clan. Kitsune Flash defeated his prey the person he wants to kill so badly so he can finally fulfill his revenge on the clan. It was his reason to exists, he was an avenger and it was his life goal to kill his brother. He turned back his gaze to Kitsune feeling all of his anger for the mask mercenary consumed him. He was going to enjoy the upcoming killing of the mask mercenary by his own hands.
Kitsune hold his grin the entire time. He wanted to grin in amusement watching the Uchiha glared at him with all of the hatred in the world. He knew Sasuke was pissed at him for defeating his brother when it was his mission to beat him in the first place. Kitsune just knew how to press the Uchiha's buttons hitting him where it hurts him the most just like every Uchiha except for Itachi his pride. He had everything planned out from the beginning he captured the older Uchiha. He anticipated everything, from the rumors of Itachi's defeat spreading through the five countries to Sasuke's decision in coming to the fire country. It all lead to this confrontation once again he was fighting the Uchiha to bring him back to Konoha. Only this time he wasn't doing to fulfill a selfish promise but it was his duty to captured missing nins and bring them back to their village of origin. Besides he will feel a lot better that he finally captured Sasuke that will be one big weight to be lifted from his shoulders since Orochimaru was killed by the Uchiha. He kept his gaze on Sasuke waiting to see what was going to be his first move, he knew the fight was about to begin at any moment.
Sasuke hold the urge to grabbed Kusanagi and slice his head off as he was gazing at the unconscious body of his brother. This man had no right to beat Itachi when he was the one to do it and avenge his clan. Hatred for the make mercenary was intense and deep. He glared at him with his sharingan he wasn't going to hold back against him.
"Kitsune Flash…."
"We finally meet Uchiha Sasuke" Kitsune was still grinning.
"I was so sick of always hearing so much about you like you were the strongest."
"Perhaps because I might be the strongest there is Sasuke" Kitsune gave another grin seeing his reaction turned to a hard glare he knew he has land another painful blow to the Uchiha's pride.
Sasuke kept his glare at him before giving another look at Itachi" heh…"
In a blink of an eye Sasuke vanished and he sliced both Kitsune and Itachi in half with his sword. Kitsune's body vanished in a cloud of smoke while Itachi's body vanished transforming into another Kitsune. Once both vanish the Uchiha just snorted at the foolish plan he was disappointed at the sight.
"Using a shadow clone while another shadow clone used a transformation jutsu to look like Itachi, not a bad move but it was a poor choice to used against an Uchiha you can't fool my eyes. The sharingan sees all."
The real Kitsune appeared in front of Sasuke and he wasn't surprised at all he knew this was going to happen' looks like after five years he's still as arrogant as ever and he has learned to control his sharigan well.'
"Not bad Sasuke you're strong as they say, I can see now why you killed Orochimaru."
"Where's Itachi?" Sasuke's tone was cold and serious.
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Where is he?!" he grabbed Kusanagi's hilt ready to attack again" he better be alive or…."
"Or you'll do what?" Kitsune was still playing with him.
Sasuke vanish releasing Kusanagi rushing towards him ready to slice him in half like he did with his shadow clones. However it didn't happen. Sasuke's sharingan eyes widened in shock Kitsune was holding his sword with his hand. He couldn't believe that he was able to block a powerful sword like Kusanagi with his bare hand, especially when Kusanagi was the kind of sword that couldn't be blocked.
'It can't be to block Kusanagi with his hand like it didn't affect him, this guy….'
"That's a nice sword you have there, did Orochimaru gave it to you?" asked the mask mercenary.
"It's none of your concern looks like all those rumors I heard about you are true."
"If you pissed me off I will devour your soul" Kitsune grin using the fake rumor he didn't like.
"Enough I'll ask again where's Itachi?"
"If you're wondering if he's dead no need to worry he's alive and well."
"Where?" the Uchiha was still glaring at him.
"Now that will be my little secret…."
Sasuke growled as he tried to swing his blade at his head but Kitsune blocked it with another punch. He used another swing but the mask mercenary dodged it jumping out of the way. Kitsune saw Sasuke charging at him at incredible speed but the one thing that caught his eye was that there was lighting generating from his sword. Of course he knew about that technique of his after all he has come to know all the information on the Uchiha thanks to Jiraiya's spy network. He knew all of his techniques and what he was capable off so he had the fight pretty much in his bag. However underestimating the Uchiha was the last thing he wanted to do this time he will make sure not to hold back on him.
Sasuke swung Kusanagi releasing lighting from the chidori covered blade while Kitsune dodged them with ease. He launched a fist which Sasuke blocked. The mask mercenary grinned as he launched another fist only this time it was covered with wind. He launched the wind fist but the Uchiha countered it with lighting from Kussanagi. He swung his sword at quick speed while Kitsune dodged it leaving the Uchiha to stab a stone wall. He growled when Kitsune was on top of his head like he was mocking him as his whole body was surrounded by lighting like he was a chidori. The mask mercenary jumped in time to dodge the attack as he landed near the border of the lake that connects to the large waterfall.
'A full body chidori….this is Sasuke's chidori current or thousand birds current…'
Sasuke broke his chidori current while glaring at the mask mercenary with his cold sharingan eyes" I'll ask again where's Itachi?"
"And I will tell you the same thing that's my little secret."
"If you won't tell me then I will kill you…"
"And how are you going to find Itachi if you killed me, better yet what makes you think you can even kill me?" now Kitsune's voice was serious it seems he was done playing games with the Uchiha.
"I will make you tell me then killing you will be a bonus after Itachi."
The mask mercenary chuckle at his comment" you know I have to admit Itachi put up a good fight and he did gave me a good workout. But he couldn't beat me his sharigan couldn't keep up with me and he was the strongest Uchiha in the clan because you were always the small fry" he gave a slight grin knowing that he gave another blow to Sasuke's pride.
Sasuke growled as he vanished again swinging his chidori Kusanagi but Kitsune was not to be seen. He appeared behind him but Sasuke knew thanks to his sharingan he activated his chidori current hitting him. Kitsune groaned in pain before he vanish his body was replaced by a wooden log.
'Substitution jutsu….'
He gasped gazing up he saw the real Kitsune making hand seals" wind release air bullet!"
Sasuke countered with quick hand seals of his own" fire release fire ball technique!"
'Shit fire ninjutsu!' Kitsune growled knowing that fire was stronger than wind.
The two attacks clashed together and the fire consumed the wind becoming stronger than before while Sasuke was grinning at his foolish mistake. He saw the large fire covering him until he was no more.
'What a fool using wind against me did he really beat Itachi?'
When the fire dispersed Sasuke eyes widened he was shocked. In front of him were dozens of Kitsune replicas. For the Uchiha it felt like déjà vu all over again of course he has seen this before. The sight of so many shadow clones brought the memory of his former best friend and teammate from team seven. He had this feeling in his gut but he ignored it concentrating on the fight.
His sharingan was gazing deep into the clones' they all have the same large amount of chakra in them, they're all the same I can't tell which one is the real one…'
The Kitsune clones charged at him while Sasuke punched and kicked a couple. He activated his chidori current hitting more clones he quickly threw a couple of sembon needles made of lighting hitting more of the clones. With his speed he defeated all of the clones in an instant and he was beginning to think that his opponent wasn't as strong as he thought.
"Is that the best you can do?!" he taunted with a grin" because if this is all the great Kitsune Flash has to offer then I'm afraid you're too weak for me you're not even a challenge to me. Maybe Itachi got weaker over the years if he was defeated by you…"
'Yeah keep talking like that Sasuke same old arrogant teme' thought one of the clones.
The four remaining clones charged at him but the Uchiha acted quickly throwing more of his chidori sembon needles defeating two clones. He made a large spear from a chidori extending it hitting another clone leaving the last one who was holding a giant shuriken. Kitsune threw the giant shuriken straight at Sasuke but he dodged it jumping out of the way.
"You're weak Kitsune Flash your weak attacks are only disappointing me, I guess those rumors I heard about you were all wrong."
Kitsune grinned" well the rumor of me devouring souls it's the only fake rumor" he vanished in a cloud of smoke shocking the Uchiha.
'What that was a clone!!'
Suddenly he looked behind him the giant shuriken the Kitsune clone threw vanished and it was replaced by the real Kitsune who caught him by surprise and land a punched on his face. He landed another punch to his jaw he followed with a kick that hit Sasuke's ribs. The Uchiha was sent a couple of feet away due to the strength of the mask mercenary. He was getting up while he spit some blood from his lower lip glaring at Kitsune.
"I'm not done yet!!" shouted the mask mercenary forming hand seals" wind release air bullet!"
He shot the large gust of wind from his mouth heading fast at Sasuke destroying a couple of the rock from the valley. Kitsune was gazing at the sight waiting for the smoke to clear out and he wasn't surprise to see the results. The smoke cleared out and stood a large snake that covered the Uchiha's body like a shield protecting him from the attack. The snake vanished revealing the unharmed Sasuke who looked very pissed.
"I must be so weak that I was able to land those hits on you Sasuke then again it could be you" the mask mercenary was grinning.
It was another painful blow to the Uchiha's pride as he charged at the mask mercenary with hatred. He wasn't going to show mercy he was going for the kill. He swung Kusanagi with chidori creating a wave of lighting but Kitsune dodged it. He gasped when the Uchiha released a snake from his sleeve wrapping his body with the reptile. Sasuke stabbed him with a quick chidori on his chest making the snake vanished, however Kitsune's body replaced by a wooden log.
Sasuke grinned sensing the mask mercenary behind him" fool I knew you were going to used a substitution jutsu to escape!"
Sasuke managed to punch on his jaw but the mask mercenary kept his guard up not feeling the pain from the punch. Sasuke charged at him with another chidori but Kitsune dodged it with quick speed kicking his chin sending him upwards. The Uchiha suddenly vanished as the mask mercenary gasped in shock he was now surrounded by four giant snakes and they all had the sharingan in their eyes.
'Genjutsu….'
The snakes opened their mouth releasing a chidori spear in each of their mouths. Kitsune was quick to dodge them and he wasn't thinking in seeing the illusion any longer as he made a single hand seal.
"Release!"
The genjutsu vanished the snakes were gone but Sasuke appeared behind him with chidori in hand ready to stab his back. But as soon as he got close to Kitsune grinned as he around grabbing his hand with the chidori and putting a stop to his attack, Sasuke glared at him because of the feeling of nostalgia. It reminded him when he attacked Itachi with chidori back at the inn when they first met after the Uchiha massacre. He remembered that Itachi grabbed his hand with chidori like it was nothing and Kitsune just did the same thing.
"That was quick thinking trying to get behind me to get the best shot in killing me not bad Sasuke but I'm know well the rule of never letting your enemy get behind you."
The Uchiha gave an evil grin" I predict your move with my sharingan I was expecting you were going to do that…."
Kitsune gasped seeing Sasuke activating current he was going to get hit by the attack. Sasuke's was shocked as Kitsune's body was covered by a powerful wind current. It was completely surrounding his entire body, the wind and lighting collided creating a shock wave causing Sasuke to jump back. If he didn't jump a second earlier he would have been caught by the shockwave. He saw as the wind vanished from Kitsune's body however he had a grin of his lips because of the outcome of their attacks.
"What the hell was that technique?!" Sasuke was upset at the jutsu similarity.
The mask mercenary chuckle" I guess you seem to be a little surprise that was my wind current technique. My element affinity is wind and focusing with my chakra I can create a shield of wind around my body protecting me from outside attacks, it's very effective too."
The Uchiha growled" bastard you copy my technique my chidori current is the same thing but with lighting affinity!"
"I don't know about that I learned that technique on my own since it's the perfect offensive and defensive technique but you don't have to get jealous…." the mask mercenary grinned.
Sasuke growled" shut up I'm not jealous of you!!!"
He released his chidori spear stabbing KItsune and pinning him to the nearest stone wall. The Uchiha was smirking evilly but he glared when the mask mercenary vanished replaced with another wooden log.
'Damn another substitution jutsu…'
"Shadow clone jutsu!"
POOF!!!
From above ten Kitsune clones appeared jumping straight at the Uchiha. Sasuke dodged the clones quickly while landing near the border of the large lake. Seeing that he was surrendered by the mask clones he couldn't help but feel strange. Nostalgia hit him again he felt like fighting Kitsune was so familiar than fighting a certain blond ninja from his former Konoha team.
'So many clones and this fighting style…..' the Uchiha was in deep thought.
He was interrupted from his thinking when the Kitsune clones threw a barrage of kunais at him. He used chidori Kusanagi to break the kunais easily. Sasuke countered his attack with his chidori sembon needles hitting the clones. He destroyed the last clone with his chidori spear while the real Kitsune charged at him forming hand seals. Sasuke and he were ready to counter it using his sharingan making hand seals too.
"Ninja art toad oil blast!"
Kitsune threw a large wave of oil from his mouth covering Sasuke before he was ready to fire his technique which it was the hand seals to form a fire jutsu.
"Shit what the hell is this?!" Sasuke was disgusted with the substance covering him.
"Its oil now go ahead and used your fire jutsu Sasuke unless if you want to burn yourself alive" the mask mercenary grinned at the sight.
The Uchiha was growling in anger at Kitsune" you're really full of surprises I admit that you're not as weak as I thought you were…."
"It's that a compliment Sasuke why thank you although I don't they need it from a missing nin who turned his back on his village" replied Kitsune in a sarcastic matter.
Sasuke jumped to the lake in order to wash the oil from his body while Kitsune followed him he was standing at the water. Minutes later the Uchiha emerged from the water the oil has left his body all cleaned up. He saw as Kitsune charged at him launching a fist but he was quick enough to block it with Kusanagi. Both read each other's mind as they both activated their current jutsu. Kitsune with his wind current and Sasuke with chidori current, their attacks collided creating a violent shockwave that spread through the water. It hit a stone wall destroying it a little both fighters were now feet away from the other standing on the water.
Kitsune cracked his knuckles and the bones of his neck before giving the Uchiha an amuse grin" well that was a nice warm up wouldn't you say Sasuke?"
"You're no ordinary foe I admit that you're the strongest I have ever faced, fighting Orochimaru was nothing compared to this. Fighting you like this won't work looks like I will fight you without holding back…."
Kitsune saw as Sasuke's body was being covered by black flames and he knew what was going on with him since he has seen this before the last time he fought him" you're using the curse seal already looks like you're finally going to fight for real I guess ply time is over."
"You know a lot about me it seems you have been gathering information on me" Sasuke said in his curse seal level one.
"Of course I know all about your jutsus and what you're capable of and I just didn't know about you but your team as well. By now my team has already defeated them and now you're the only one left."
Sasuke stood quiet before glaring back at him with his sharingan" I am an avenger and my life goal is to kill my brother and avenge the Uchiha clan. You Kitsune Flash are just the stepping stone I have to cross to get to Itachi so taking you out is not important to me."
"It's not the same for me I need you and Itachi since you two are the most dangerous missing nins from Konoha now that Orohimaru is dead. So I have no choice but to capture you."
"I will kill Itachi and you will not get in my way or you will die" growled the Uchiha.
"You will have to know where he is first."
"I will get the information from you even if I have to drag your limb body…"
"That's hard to believe why don't you show me?" replied the mask mercenary.
"I'll end this in one shot…"
Sasuke charged chidori charging at Kitsune his speed obviously increased when he activated the curse seal. However another Kitsune stood behind him making hand seals.
"Wind release air bullet!"
The real Kitsune blew the wind gust but Sasuke was well aware of his attack and quickly countered his technique with had seals" fire release fire ball technique!"
The two attacks collided creating a firestorm that took disperse across the lake. The Kitsune clone vanished while the real Kitsune jumped away keeping his distance from the fire he gasped seeing Sasuke charging at him. The Uchiha launched a fist which the mask mercenary blocked but with his free hand Sasuke unsheathed Kusanagi in an attempt to stabbed him with the sword. Sasuke launched a punched which made contact with Kitsune on his jaw followed by a kick sending the mask mercenary hitting the water. Sasuke charged at his tremendous speed hitting Kitsune with Kusanagi but he vanished being replaced with a wooden log.
'Substitution again but I didn't saw him….he must have reacted too quickly for the sharingan to see him…'
"Shadow clone jutsu!"
POOF!!!
Ten Kitsune clones appeared surrounding the Uchiha while he was looking around and he weren't happy' shadow clones again is that all he can do he reminds me of…..'
His thinking was interrupted again as all of the clones threw a brrage of shurikens while making hand seals" ninja art shuriken shadow clone technique!"
The shurikens duplicate in numbers and they were over a hundred heading straight at Sasuke while he made hand seals to counter the attack" fire release grand fire ball technique!"
Sasuke shot a giant fire ball hitting all of shurikens, at the same time it hit the shadow clones. The real Kitsune was far away from the location as Sasuke charged at him making hand seals" fire release phoenix flower technique!"
Kitsune was quick to dodge the small fire balls while Sasuke got closer to him releasing two snakes from his sleeves. They reached the mask mercenary and he gasped the two snakes had the sharingan in their eyes which means that he was caught in another genjutsu. The next thing he knew he was surrounded by pitch black darkness before he saw the curse seal Sasuke gazing at him with a cold expression in his sharingan eyes.
'This genjutsu….is different from the last he used on me' Kitsune thought.
"You must be aware that this genjutsu is different it is, the only difference is that is stronger than the regular genjutsu…."
"What do you mean?!"
Sasuke didn't answered instead dozens of giant snakes surrounded Kitsune and they all had the sharingan in their eyes. One of the snakes charged at him releasing a chidori spear from its mouth. Kitsune groaned as he was stabbed by the chidori spear on his left shoulder he couldn't move he felt all of his muscles were failing he felt numb.
"Now you can't move it will make it impossible for you to try and dispel the genjutsu now…." he replied in a cold tone.
Kitsune growled trying to move his body but he failed' damn it I can't move that's the effect of the chidori spear paralyzing the opponent so it doesn't get the chance to escape. It's the same effect of his chidori sword I have to do something!'
"I might spare your life Kitsune Flash…on one condition only."
The mask mercenary chuckle" let me guess if I tell you Itachi's location."
"That's the only thing I want to know and the only thing I'm interested so was it going to be?"
"And what will happen if I refuse?" Kitsune knew he asked a dumb question knowing exactly what the Uchiha was going to do with him if he didn't comply in telling his brother's location.
The Uchiha didn't answer but all of the snakes surrounding Kitsune open their mouth revealing a regular sword. They were all ready to strike and stabbed him killing him in the process. Kitsune gazed into Sasuke's eyes those sharingan eyes were cold with no emotion in them.
"Tell me or die!!"
Kitsune grinned" screw you!"
Sasuke growled as he made thousands of shurikens appeared joining with the snakes to increase the attack and thing that will give Kitsune the finishing blow.
"You have made your choice die!!"
Kitsune managed to move his arms shocking Sasuke a lot and made a hand seal" release!"
Everything vanished and they were back at the valley standing in the water. Sasuke was glaring at the mask mercenary he was starting to feel tire and still he couldn't believe that Kitsune was still standing and alive. However he was too proud to admit that the fight has been taking a toll on him.
'It's not possible how did he do it….he managed to move his arms even when I stabbed him with chidori spear and he broke through a strong genjutsu?!'
"You let your guard down Sasuke!!" Kitsune shouted appearing behind the Uchiha.
Sasuke gazed behind him only to be punched hard on his face he was send to the water but Kitsune kicked him on his chin. He charged again only to be hit by Sasuke's chidori current. Kitsune vanished in a cloud of smoke shocking the Uchiha a lot. The real Kitsune appeared in front of him kicking his chin again but Sasuke kept his balance glaring at the mask mercenary.
He panted his sharingan flaring" bastard…"
"My Sasuke you didn't noticed when I summoned a shadow clone you're sharingan must be running out of batteries or something" Kitsune chuckle mocking him.
Sasuke growled hatred burning deeply for Kitsune as he charged up chidori" die chidori!!"
Kitsune formed a rasengan in hand which shocked the Uchiha" rasengan!"
BOOM!!!
The collision of the two powerful attacks created a strong spherical shockwave just like the first time when they fought. The water rise creating a tidal wave that reached the border along with some waves, the lake was completely disturbed by the shockwave. As for the two fighters they were still alive and well. Kitsune was near the border panting but he had enough fight in him, after all this was the first time he had a good fight. While Sasuke was in the middle of the lake panting yet his expression was much of shock rather than anger and exhaustion. He remembered seeing the same attack when he was traveling here with his team and he didn't believe it at first. But now he was questioning who the man behind the mask was.
'He used rasengan like before but the other rasengan was different it was like a bomb. Rasengan and the shadow clones and the fighting style….'
Kitsune chuckle" yeah this has been quite a fight and I expected no less from you Sasuke, I guess you proved me wrong you're becoming more troublesome to defeat than Itachi."
"I admit that you live up to your name Kitsune Flash you have given quite the trouble. Even with the cruse seal It's hard to beat you" Sasuke's replied was tired but he still that same cold tone as usual.
"I guess this is where warm up number two ends isn't that right Sasuke?"
"I am getting tire of playing this game with you I am taking this to the next level" Sasuke's curse seal reacted again covering his whole body in dark skin.
Kitsune saw as Sasuke has change in appearance. His face was more monster like with a black cross shape on his nose, his dark hair grew longer and on his back two large bat like wings appeared' so he's finally using level two that's good I can finally get serious in this fight.'
"I better be careful though I can't hurt you too much…I need to bring you to Konoha…again."
"What do you mean again?!" asked the slightly shocked curse seal level two Sasuke.
"Never mind that let's get started!" he formed a cross hand seal" mass shadow clone jutsu!"
POOF!!!
Now Sasuke was surrounded by over a hundred Kitsune clones which shocked him a lot. He has never seen so many shadow clones before but then again he already had.
'So many….its not possible for someone to summoned so many clones it takes too much chakra. There's only one person I know who has so much chakra and had the ability to do rasengan and create so many shadow clones……no it can't be!' Sasuke was in pure shock.
"What's wrong Sasuke?" Kitsune noticed the Uchiha's shocking expression.
Sasuke growled" Kitsune Flash….who are you?!"
"Huh?"
"You heard me who are you?!"
Kitsune laughed" that's funny that you asked that Sasuke I'm Kitsune Flash shessh that curse seal has really fucked your head."
"No I'm talking about who you really are?!" shouted the Uchiha in anger.
The mask mercenary smirked at the question" oh I see looks like you have become quite curious to see the face behind this mask is that it Sasuke?"
"Tell me now who are you?!"
"Why so curious all of the sudden Sasuke?" Kitsune was smirking.
"Just shut up and tell me already!!"
Kitsune was still smirking in amusement he wanted to continued pushing him to the limit but he decided to finally talk and come clean" you still haven't find out….teme…"
"Teme?" the transformed Uchiha was more shock hearing that there was only one person who will call him that" it's not possible….you can't be…."
"I'm afraid I am…." replied the mask mercenary.
Kitsune pulled down his hood and finally he removed his mask allowing Sasuke to see the face behind the creepy fox mask. His sharingan eyes widened in horror he was right all along. He was staring at a familiar face, long blond spiky hair whisker face with cerulean eyes. His former best friend and teammate from team seven the same person he broke his bonds the day he left Konoha.
"Naruto…." Sasuke was still shocked.
"Hey teme…" the blond grinned.
"I don't believe it so all this time you were Kitsune Flash and all those rumors about you…."
"Yup they're all true except for the I devour your soul that's very stupid."
The curse seal level two Sasuke glared at him" Naruto don't get in my way again I have nothing to do with you or Konoha anymore I cut those bonds five years ago."
"Yes Sasuke I know you told me clearly back then right here in this valley, but I'm not doing this to reunite team seven. I'm doing this as my job as Kitsune Flash which is capturing missing nin, you're coming with me to Konoha whether you like it or not!"
"It's ironic that you chose this place again for our battle if you won't let me through then I will kill you."
"That's fine with me I knew it was going to be like this from the beginning Sasuke."
"Last time you beat me but not this time I have become stronger than you."
"Want to bet?" the blond grinned.
Sasuke stayed quiet while the Kitsune shadow clone army around Naruto was ready to attack. The Kitsune clone army released their kunais while Sasuke charged using his wings to increase his speed. He used Kusanagi to destroy the clones quickly while using his chidori current. Other clones used the shadow clone shuriken jutsu to duplicate their shuriken in tremendous numbers. The Uchiha used chidori on his Kusanagi to destroy the shurikens he also dodged punches and kicks from the clones. He used his chidoru current hitting the clones that were closer to him he quickly used his chidori spear to hit more clones. He also released his snakes from his sleeve using them to bite some of the clones. The Uchiha made quick hand seals using his grand fire ball technique destroying more clones without breaking a sweat.
The original who was Naruto watched everything in shock. In less than five minutes Sasuke has taken half of the shadow clones he has summoned although he wasn't so surprise at his strength' I knew he was stronger when he's in level two looks like it's time to go sage mode before Sasuke finish with all of the clones.'
He took an explosive kunai and threw it in stone wall creating a large explosion it was the signal to warn Fukasaku' Fukasaku it's up to you know.'
(Not too far from the valley of the end)
Fukasaku saw the explosion from the distance. The old toad was sitting on top of large boulder holding the scroll of summoning waiting for the signal.
'Naruto-chan has finally made his move time to act' he opened the scroll and made the hand seals" summoning jutsu!"
POOF!!!
When the smoke vanished a Kitsune clone appeared who has gathered the natural energy when he was at Mt. Myoboukuzan where it was the only place to gather the natural energy required for sage mode.
The clone vanished while Fukasaku gazed ahead at the valley' good luck Naruto-chan.'
(Back at the valley)
By now Sasuke has defeated the entire clones and the only one standing was Naruto who was grinning at him.
"Not bad Sasuke that curse seal really gives you the power boost you need, the same power you were dying to obtain in order to leave the village isn't that right?"
"I don't regret my decision dobe revenge is my only life goal…"
"What happened to restoring your clan?"
"I will once I kill Itachi I will restore the clan and bring it to its highest glory."
"That's a big goal Sasuke it won't be easy to fulfill when you're an S rank missing nin."
"That's the least of my worries right now killing Itachi is the only thing that matters to me" Sasuke's sharingan was flaring from the hatred he was feeling for the older Uchiha.
Naruto shook his head remembering the truth about Itachi" killing your brother…what good will that do Sasuke the Uchiha clan won't be back if you kill him."
"I know that but this isn't about bringing them back to life it's about honor… my parents and the rest of the clan demands vengeance and retribution for his treacherous act!!"
The tall blond growled tightening his fists in anger' traitor….if he only knew the truth about Itachi he wouldn't be talking like that…'
"Time to die Naruto!" shouted the Uchiha as he lunged at the blond with his Kusanagi.
In a quick movement Sasuke gasped as Naruto has hold his hand with his sword keeping up with his curse seal level two speed. That's when the Uchiha saw Naruto's eyes have changed color, no longer they were blue but yellow with a straight black line on the pupil.
"What?!"
Naruto grinned" Sasuke you aren't the only one who has acquired an upgrade during the years I also have my own tricks. Let me introduce you to my sage mode."
"Sage mode?" Sasuke groaned in pain as Naruto crushed his hand letting go of Kusanagi.
"In this mode my strength, defense and speed increase ten folds you can say that I won't have a problem beating your level two form."
"Don't get cocky with me just because you have become strong during these years you're no match for me!!" shouted the enraged Uchiha.
"Let me show you then."
With his free hand Naruto punched Sasuke's face hard sending him flying backwards hitting the water. He got back up but was met with another powerful punch by the blond he followed by a kick to his chin sending him to the air. Naruto finish it off with a kick to the back of his head sending him underwater. A minute later Sasuke emerged from the water looking pissed. His face had a couple of cuts and bruises but he couldn't stop aching from the pain he was feeling because of the blows received by the blond. They really hurt and he never thought he would hit so hard hell he never thought he will become this strong ever.
'Damn it how the hell has he become so strong it feels like I have gotten hit by a boulder….Naruto…'
Ignoring the pain he was feeling he charged at the tall blond with his speed as an advantage then again not anymore. He activated chidori and just when he was holding Kusanagi Naruto grabbed his hand stopping his chidori. The blond squeezed his hand making the Uchiha to fall on his knees groaning from the pain his chidori vanished because he couldn't keep it intact.
"Looks like you have reached your limit Sasuke I can still go on fighting and I haven't even broken a sweat yet it's not too late to give up and save yourself the embarrassment."
The Uchiha glared at him with the intent to kill him" shut up I will never lose to you!!"
"You already did once if you have forgotten it won't be long before you ran out of chakra and as for me I still have plenty of chakra left in me."
Sasuke charged at him using his chidori current. Naruto was caught in the attack but he vanished replaced by a wooden log' damn substitution again he's too fast the sharingan can't keep up with him.'
"Rasengan!"
"Ahhh!!!" Sasuke screamed as Naruto's rasengan hit his right wing destroying it completely.
"You have gotten slower Sasuke otherwise you would have been able to tell that I was right behind you. Remember what Kakashi told us never let the enemy get behind you."
"Damn you Naruto I will not lose to you I will have my revenge!"
"It's not too late Sasuke give up and let me take you back to Konoha. I don't care about the bonds that you broke five years ago if you don't want me as your friend that's fine by me, just return to the village and you might be spare from being executed."
The Uchiha chuckle" well looks like you have change after all dobe, the Naruto I know will never say that he will keep opening his big mouth saying how much our bonds meant to him and the lengths he will go to keep them."
"I'm not that stupid Sasuke I got your point when you stabbed me with chidori on my chest, from that moment I knew there was nothing I could do or say to you to change your mind. Those bonds were broken and gone for good" Naruto replied while his cerulean eyes softened at the memory.
"I'm glad you feel that way dobe because it will be easier to kill you now, like I said before you're the person I need to defeat in order to cross and get to Itachi you will do well for second place."
"Funny you don't look to be in the shape to kill me. You look like you will be out of chakra soon you're already beaten teme."
Sasuke charged at him releasing a couple of snakes from his injured wing. The snakes wrapped around Naruto while he charged at him preparing to punch him with all of his strength.
When he was a couple of inches from him Naruto made a hand seal" ninja art needle jizo!"
Naruto's long hair became even longer reaching to his feet only difference that it was made of sharp needles. The snakes were destroyed while Sasuke hurt his hand trying to punch him. His hand was bleeding badly while he was punched on his stomach sending him to the border of the valley. Naruto followed him reaching land.
Sasuke growled glaring at the blond" I won't lose to you dobe…."
"You already did Sasuke."
Sasuke started charging his black chidori which it was stronger than the regular chidori. Naruto decided to play even as he summoned a clone and helped him create a rasengan which it was bigger than the regular one. The two fighters charged at each other with their strong attacks they were going to finish it like they did five years ago.
"Black chidori!"
"Odama rasengan!"
BOOM!!!
The collision of the two powerful attacks created another black sphere destroying the ground and shaking some of the water from the lake. Minutes later the sphere was gone and the smoke cleared showing the winner of the combat. Naruto was still standing and he was surprised that Sasuke was also standing. However he has changed back to normal since he couldn't be stay in level two for too long he was also panting reaching exhaustion as he can also sense that he was almost out of chakra. Naruto sensed that his strength decreased he has felt that the natural energy has left his body.
'The five minutes are up Fukasaku better get ready again I don't think Sasuke is going to give up.'
'This cannot be happening how can he still be standing and not looking tire at all, damn him why is he so strong? I've been training so hard perfecting my skills and my jutsus and yet he's always getting ahead of me. Why I am an Uchiha he's nothing but a dead last!'
"Well Sasuke looks like you changed back the curse seal must take a lot of your chakra to keep it in use, there's nothing else you can."
"Still acting cocky dobe I don't need the curse seal to beat you I can defeat you with my new skills."
"Yeah I already know about all of your tricks remember that I've been gathering information about you for a while."
"I will make you swallow your stupid pride dobe" the Uchiha replied with a glare.
"It's not pride what I have Sasuke it's just logic and you look like you're ready to fall down from exhaustion even if I know that you won't give up."
Naruto saw Sasuke biting his thumb making some blood appeared he already knew what he had in mind' so that's what he's planning now eh….all right a summoning battle it is…'
Naruto followed Sasuke biting his thumb; they both did the exact same hand seals they both shouted in unison" summoning jutsu!"
POOF!!!
A large cloud of smoke appeared covering part of the valley. Slowly the smoke cleared out revealing two new visitors in the battle. Naruto stood on top of the head of the toad boss Gamabunta while next to Sasuke stood the giant purple snake Manda the snake lord.
Manda gazed at the Uchiha and he wasn't happy to see him" you were the one who summoned me where's Orochimaru?!!"
Sasuke snorted at his comment" never mind that we have a battle to fight."
"Where are my sacrifices my services aren't for free?!!" shouted Manda.
Instead Sasuke gazed at the giant snake with his sharingan casting a hypnosis genjutsu on him. Soon Madan's eyes had the sharingan in them he was fully in control by the Uchiha.
Naruto watched the whole thing from the distance with Gamabunta" he cast a genjutsu on Manda to control his mind, I guess it's the only thing he can do since Manda isn't the most loyal and easy to command of the summons even Orochimaru had problems with controlling him."
"I'm ready when you are kid I've wanted to have a rematch against that snake since the three sanins battle" Gamabunta said.
The blond chuckle" then I guess you're glad that I summoned you I didn't wanted you to get upset with me toad boss."
"None sense you're Jiraiya's successor I couldn't be any proud to fight by your side kid."
"All right then let's do it!"
Sasuke got on top of Manda's head and the snake charged at the two" let's go Naruto!!"
The controlled Manda charged at them using his speed while Gamabunta unsheathed his sword ready to sight.
"Come and get some snake breath this time I will turned you into a snake skin wallet!"
"I'll handle Sasuke Gamabunta" Naruto said keeping his gaze at t he Uchiha.
"Sure thing" he replied as he blocked Manda's large mouth with his sword.
Gamabunta took a step back punching Manda's face and using his sword to stab him again but the giant snake used his tail to trip him. Naruto took the opportunity to jump straight at Manda where Sasuke was located. He landed on top of his head meeting the Uchiha who was grinning. Sasuke knew he was in a disadvantage he was reaching his limit while Naruto still looked like he had plenty of fighting left in him.
He panted' I can't use chidori current anymore since it takes too much chakra. My injuries aren't heal yet the power of white snake is taking its time in the healing process, I wish Karin were here her ability will heal my injuries even quicker.'
"Hey Sasuke how about if we let our summons handle each other for a moment and we go for a taijutsu match no ninjutsu and genjutsu?"
"That's fine with me dobe it's your loss my taijutsu skills have gotten better since the last time we fought you don't stand a chance."
'Even if he's exhausted he's still arrogant I guess he will never change.'
They charged launching punches and kicks. Even if Sasuke was tire he was still putting a good fight while Naruto still have plenty of fighting in him. They both launched attacks while both blocked or dodged proving that their taijutsu skills were really good. Sasuke punched Naruto on his face while using a roundhouse kick to trip him, the blond lost his balance before he was knocked down by another kick from the Uchiha. Sasuke kicked him upwards he jumped kicking him constantly in the air. Finally Naruto hit the ground as Sasuke delivered a final kick to the blond.
"Lion combo!"
When Sasuke was done he gasped as he saw that Naruto as back in his feet again like nothing happened he was unscratched and unharmed.
'What the hell how is he back in his feet it's like my attack didn't hurt him?!'
TheUchiha gazed closer at the blond until he saw that his eyes have changed color again' those eyes again….it's his sage mode.'
Naruto grin feeling the natural energy flowing through his body again' good Fukasaku summoned another clone that means I have two more shadow clone gathering natural energy back at Myoboukuzan that's enough.'
He gazed towards the lake and saw the two summoning animals going at it. Gamabunta has stabbed Manda over five times with his sword while the controlled snake was trying to bite him with his powerful fangs. Manda charged at him but the toad boss was quick jumping out of the way ad they continued to have another clash with their strength.
'Looks like Gamabunta aren't holding back on Manda.'
Sasuke growled" you're using sage mode didn't you say no ninjutsu and genjutsu?!"
"I did but I won't use any jutsu let me show you the taijutsu from sage mode the toads fighting style."
Sasuke used his speed to launch a punch but Naruto grabbed his fist and countered with a punch of his own. Sasuke coughed blood from the punch as Naruto punched the other side of his face he followed by a kick to his abdomen. The Uchiha tried to block his attacks but he was too injured to do it he was punched again sending him to a stone wall.
Sasuke growled as he made quick hand seals" fire release grand fire ball technique!"
Naruto gasped seeing the giant fire ball heading straight at him he jumped high in the air using his toad abilities and managed to jump straight at Sasuke who was shocked at the sight. Naruto launched a punch but Sasuke dodged it leaving the border and heading to where Manda was located.
'Damn him using ninjutsu in our supposed taijutsu match he will do anything just to have the upper hand.'
Sasuke saw Manda who was trying to get up but he was injured thanks to Gamabunta. His scaly body was covered with deeps cuts and bruises he has taken quite the beaten at the hands of the toad boss.
'Pathetic to think he's supposed to be the snake lord he was weak after all, I made a mistake summoning him.'
Sasuke got on top of Manda using his sharingan on the snake" get up Manda were not done yet!"
"So you have come to fight me too eh?" Gamabunta said unsheathing his sword again.
Suddenly Naruto appeared on top of Gamabunta's head" we'll fight them together now and it looks like you have made a number on Manda" he smirked.
"I'm not done with him I'm still going to turn him into a snake skin wallet."
Manda got up still under control of Sasuke's genjutsu while the Uchiha was panting hard' I'm losing a lot of chakra I can barely keep my sharingan activated to keep the genjutsu on Manda active. Who would ever think the dobe will wear me out like this?'
"Manda finish them off now!!" shouted Sasuke.
The giant snake released a large smoke screen almost covering the entire valley. Gamabunta jumped taking a step back but they still couldn't see them.
'They're going to try and ambush us' thought Naruto.
Suddenly Manda emerged from the snake using his large mouth but Gamabunta impaled his sword in his mouth all the way through his throat. He then slashed the snake all the way down releasing a large wave of blood coming from the giant snake. At the same time Sasuke jumped with his speed charging a chidori straight at Naruto.
"Die Naruto…chidori!!"
Naruto grinned he knew all along of his move and has formed a rasengan on his right hand" rasengan!"
BOOM!!!
The collision of the two attacks formed another black sphere. Naruto was quick to back off from the blast but Sasuke wasn't so lucky. He was caught in and got send a few feet away hitting the hard rocky ground. Naruto went straight at him to check on him after all he was planning to bring him to Konoha alive.
Gamabunta was next to the unconscious bloody body of Manda" he still alive but barely."
"Curse him…..curse that Uchiha…." Manda said in anger.
"Looks like you're back to normal the genjutsu the Uchiha cast on you must have been lifted when the brat beat him." replied the toad boss.
"I won't forget this humiliation mark my words…."
POOF!!!
Manda vanished while Gamabunta gazed at Naruto who was with Sasuke next to the giant stone statues of the first Hokage and Madara" well kid looks like I'm leaving too congratulations on your win."
POOF!!!
The toad boss vanished leaving the two ninjas on their own. Naruto smiled at Gamabunta's performance before turning his attention to the Uchiha. He gazed at Sasuke who was trying to get up but, his body was full of cuts and wounds he was really beat up while the blond had a couple of cuts and some light wounds but not serious like Sasuke. By now the five minutes of sage made were up and his eyes has returned to its original cerulean color.
"It's over Sasuke…."
The Uchiha panted while coughing some blood" no….I can't lose to you again it's not over yet…"
"It is over Sasuke look at you. You can barely stand up and you need medical attention too sorry but the fight is over I'll be taking you back to Konoha now."
As Naruto was walking towards him Sasuke was still panting feeling shamed for his defeat at the hands of his rival and former best friend' it can't be….I lost….I don't have too much chakra to fight anymore ugh…'
Sasuke got on his knees clutching his stomach feeling horrible pain he groaned feeling a familiar presence.
'I can give you power….'
"Shit no…" Sasuke groaned.
"Sasuke what's wrong damn you're injuries must be bad?!" Naruto said going to the Uchiha before Sasuke pushed him rudely.
"Stay away from me!!" he shouted before groaning.
'No….ugh…'
'I can lend you my power Sasuke-kun….'
'Shit no….I don't need you…'
'Kukuku if you don't defeat the Kyuubi brat you won't be able to get to Itachi and eventually fulfilling your revenge…do you want that to happen?'
'Never I will never let that happen ugh…'
'Then give in to me Sasuke-kun let me take over and I will fulfill your wish.'
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
"Sasuke!!" shouted Naruto before his eyes widened in terror at the sight that was developing in front of him.
Sasuke's whole body change in appearance turning into a purple color, he has transformed into an eight headed giant snake. The giant snakes have surrounded the area of the valley because of their enormous size. Naruto was shocked at the sight he just witnessed Sasuke changing into something inhuman but he already knew that the curse seal wasn't responsible since the Uchiha didn't have enough chakra to activate it. One of the heads of the snakes opened its large mouth and the next thing that happened shocked the blond beyond belief. From the snakes mouth emerged someone very familiar and Naruto knew him well. The pale snake man who is part of the legendary sanins and the one who trained Sasuke, he was still too shocked to say anything.
His eyes were wide seeing the impossible looking at the snake sanin" what the….Orochimaru?!!"
The snake sanin who was still inside of the mouth of the snake grinned before opening his mouth and removing his sword of Kusanagi" kukuku it's been a while Uzumaki Naruto."
"I thought Sasuke killed you!"
"Not quite I could never be kill he merely took over me…"
"What?!" the blond didn't understood what he meant.
"It's simple when Sasuke-kun came to betray me he was planning in executing me, however I already had my plans with him as I prepare to transfer my soul into his body. I used the reincarnation ritual on him but I never expected for Sasuke-kun to manage to turn my own jutsu against me and he was the one that absorbed me instead."
"Sucks to be you" the blond replied with a grin.
"But enough of that I'm going to take care of you before going after Itachi, after all he's the one I have always desire to take over his body. Sasuke-kun's body is too strong if I performed the reincarnation ritual again he will used it against me again and absorbed me."
"Itachi is the one you want to take over his body too bad that won't be happening once I take care of you homo snake."
"Do you really believe you can take me on the way you are now? It's true that you have become strong but even someone like you have his limits" the snake sanin grinned as he was ready to attack with his eight headed snake.
'I hate to say it but he's right the fight is starting to take a number on me, come on Fukasaku I really need sage mode now more than ever.'
(With Fukasaku)
The old toad was watching across the distance in shock seeing the giant eight headed snake. He opened the summoning scroll once again.
'Naruto-chan is in trouble this has turn into a long battle, he only has two more clones left.'
He formed hand seals" summoning jutsu!"
POOF!!!
The Kitsune lone with natural energy gathered appeared before he vanished quickly and Fukasaku returned to watched over the distance' good luck Naruto-chan.'
Back at the valley Naruto dodged the attacks from the eight headed snake while dodging some sword slashes from Orochimaru. The other heads of the snake opened their mouth revealing swords similar to Orochimaru's Kusanagi and they started their attack on the blond while he was still dodging them. In truth he didn't want to attack the Behemoth at least he knows what happened to Sasuke. After all he still needed to fulfill a mission in returning him to Konoha.
"Orochimaru where's Sasuke?!"
The snake sanin grinned at the question" he's still alive if that's what you want to know Sasuke-kun is inside of me but he's resting right now."
"So nothing will happen to him if I kill you?"
"No harm will be done to him but you will never kill me…"
The blond grinned as he felt his whole body filled with natural energy his eyes changing back to sage mode" that's enough for me."
Sage mode Naruto made a cross hand seal" shadow clone jutsu!"
POOF!!!
Seven Naruto clones appeared and they were all in sage mode while Orochimaru wasn't impressed by the sight" you think you can beat me with those shadow clone?"
"Sorry Orochimaru but I don't have time to play with you I'm finishing this right now!"
The snake sanins's eyes widened as he saw that all of clones hold their hand in the air creating a powerful chakra that it looks like it was spinning around rapidly. Pretty soon the chakra has turned into the shape of a shuriken with wind surrounding it.
'What powerful chakra is this if I get hit by that attack it will be unavoidable death.'
"This is one of the new techniques I mastered" replied the tall blond.
Orochimaru didn't wasted time as he charged with his eight headed snake after the clones but he never had a chance. All of the clones dodged the attacks and they released the powerful shuriken sphere they were holding.
"Wind release rasenshuriken!!"
The seven clones hit seven of the heads of the snake with the powerful rasenshuriken creating a powerful explosion of wind and chakra. Orochimaru was shocked beyond belief he was the only one left inside the mouth of the last snake.
"It's not possible I won't be defeated by you I am the immortal Orochimaru I can't never be defeated!"
"Whatever I have something stronger for you Orochimaru" replied Naruto his yellow eyes focused on his next attack.
'I have never done rasengan bomb with combining the natural energy from sage mode and the Kyuubi's chakra it's time to find out…hey fox can you hear me?!'
"I hear you brat and it's about time I was thinking you weren't planning in using my power in the fight."
'I wasn't but I need your chakra for now I want to kill a snake and this time he's going to stay dead for good.'
The Kyuubi didn't say another as he leaked his chakra from the cage into his container. Soon Naruto's eyes have changed now the pupil of his eyes have formed a cross it was a sign that he has combine his sage mode chakra with the Kyuubi's chakra. He formed a black and purple spinning sphere of chakra twice as big as the normal rasengan. Orochimaru was scared sensing the unbelievable power coming from the big sphere no doubt he will die if he gets hit by the attack.
"I will not die I am one of the sanins I am immortal!!" Orochimaru shouted.
"Sorry to say this Orochimaru but you're no longer strong as you claim to be not anymore, the future generation will always surpass the old generation that is the absolute truth!!"
Orochimaru growled charging at him with his sword and the last snake" DIE!!!"
Naruto threw the powerful rasengan bomb at him" eat this homo snake rasengan bomb!!!"
The sphere hit Orochimaru while Naruto started running for his life knowing that the bomb will detonate at any second. Orochimaru eyes widened seeing that the rasengan chakra was too unstable and it was going to blow.
"NO!!!!"
BOOM!!!
Naruto took cover from some of the rocks waiting for the smoke to clear out. He was hoping that Sasuke was still all right and unharmed. He knew he has overdid it a little since he used a bit of chakra from both sides and it was the first time he has used the rasengan bomb combining sage chakra and the Kyuubi's chakra. He gazed back at the sight and once the smoke cleared out he smiled spotting Sasuke on the ground. He was unharmed he only had the injuries he received when he was fighting him. He felt relief to see the Uchiha safe and that he has gotten rid off Orochimaru.
'Finally homo snake is dead for good that's one problem out of the way, too bad I won't be able to get his bounty since his body must have turned to ashes by the blast.'
His eyes returned to normal because the five minutes of sage mode are up while gazing at the body of the Uchiha. He walked towards him when he saw that Sasuke has woken up and he started to get up.
"There we go Sasuke I got rid of the troublesome snake that was bothering you don't worry Huntress will heal your injuries. Well it's time to take you back to Konoha" he got closer to him.
Sasuke glared at him and by now he didn't have enough chakra to activate his sharingan he had his original onyx eyes. He launched a punch which Naruto dodged jumping back from him.
He panted" it's….it's not over yet…"
The tall blond sighed" look Sasuke its over okay you can barely stand up straight and I don't think you have enough chakra to fight, not to mention that you're injure the fight is over."
"It's not over yet I will still win I won't lose to you!!" he shouted.
Naruto sighed again getting annoyed" you're starting to sound like a broken record stop being so stubborn this fight is already over!"
The Uchiha grinned envisioning his victory over the blond" I still have one last trick on my sleeve."
Naruto gasped seeing Sasuke forming quick hand seals" fire release great dragon fire technique!"
Naruto was quick to dodged the large fire dragon that Sasuke shot from his mouth although he was upset for using another jutsu' what the hell is he doing if he keeps using jutsu he will drain what little chakra he has left and he could even die from chakra exhaustion damn it teme?!'
"Sasuke stop right now!!"
The Uchiha ignored his demand and made the same hand seals" fire release great dragon fire technique!"
Again he released the fire dragon which the blond dodged quickly" damn it Sasuke stop you're going to die from chakra exhaustion!"
Once again Sasuke ignored his demand and made the same hand seals" fire release great dragon fire technique!"
Naruto dodged another fire dragon he was upset for his actions" Sasuke if you won't stop then I will stop you by force!"
Sasuke grinned before making the same hand seals" fire release great dragon fire technique!"
Naruto dodged the fire dragon and summoned a shadow clone both charged at him while jumped back making the same hand seals.
"Fire release great dragon fire technique!"
Naruto dodged the fire dragon but his shadow clone was caught and defeated he groaned feeling some of the pain from the clone. He turned to Sasuke who was chuckling evilly like he has won the fight, it was like he was smelling victory already even in his condition compare to how Naruto is.
"I don't know what are you up to but it ends now you must have already waste the chakra you had left using that fire jutsu!"
The Uchiha pretended like he didn't hear him because he was still chuckling while Naruto was puzzled at his look" it's true that I'm out of chakra and I'm completely exhausted using that jutsu but I have never felt any better because I have won over you dobe."
"What are you talking about?" asked the blond.
"You still have no idea the reason why I did that jutsu a couple of times, why don't you take a look above you?" Sasuke was still grinning.
Naruto did as he was told and gasped in horror seeing that lots of dark clouds have formed in the sky" what….it wasn't this dark when we were fighting what did you do Sasuke….no the fire jutsu you used you…." he was too shocked to say another word.
"That's right the smoke from the great dragon fire technique caused to create lighting clouds giving me the edge I need to perform the technique that will defeat you."
"What….what technique?!" replied the shocked Naruto.
"You're about to find out…"
Sasuke raised his right hand it started sparkling in lighting. Naruto didn't know what he was doing until he heard the thunder rumbling coming from the dark clouds which it wasn't a good sign. His eyes widened in terror as lighting fell from the dark clouds falling on Sasuke's raised hand. Soon the lighting created by the clouds have taken a unique shape, it looked like some kind of animal resembling a dragon. Naruto was in shocked because he has never seen anything like it and he could tell that this wasn't any regular jutsu. For starters he knew that the lighting wasn't generated from chakra which it considered to be real lighting.
'What in the….this is not good….'
(Location: forest a few miles away from the valley)
Itachi was standing on a tree branch his onyx eyes were only fixed straight in the distance the location towards the valley. He has been staying in this location since Naruto left for the valley to fight his brother leaving him here. He gave his word to the blond that he wasn't going to leave his position until the fight ended but right now he was just curious to know what was going on out there. His eyes have widened when he saw the giant lighting dragon like beast created from the sky. He knew it was nothing good and that it was a very powerful jutsu that was about to be unleashed the question he was asking it was to who that technique was directed to.
"Itachi there you are!"
The older Uchiha turned his gaze to see Temptress who was carrying Suigetsu's sword she was having a little carrying since it was heavy he got next to him" you're still here."
"I did give my word to Naruto-kun not to move from my spot until the fight ends."
"That's good I'm sure that by now Kitsune-sama must have beat Sasuke I already defeated my opponent, the others must have beat the other members of Sasuke's team as well."
Itachi wasn't listening to her he was still looking in the distance towards the valley.
"Damn this heavy ass sword is hard to carry water boy has no problem carrying it because he could turn his body into water making it easy to carry I…." she turned to Itachi who was still staring in the distance.
"Itachi what's wrong?"
"Look ahead" he replied calmly.
Temptress did as she was told only to gasp in shock seeing the giant lighting beast" what the hell is that thing?!"
"A jutsu…"
"A jutsu?" she replied still shock looking straight ahead she got worry for her leader' Naruto…'
"Temptress Itachi!"
The two saw Huntress carrying an unconscious Karin who was tied up with chakra rope. Mistress was also with her and she was carrying an unconscious Juugo tied up with chakra rope from head to toe since he was very dangerous. The two masks kunoichis got next to them on the tree branch and they could tell that both of them weren't feeling comfortable right now.
"What's wrong?" asked Huntress.
"That's what's wrong!" Temptress said as she pointed to the valley's location.
The kunoichis gasped as they saw the giant lighting beast high in the sky.
"What in the world is that….it looks like chakra?!" Huntress said shocked.
Mistress activated her byakugan and gasped" that's….that's not chakra."
"What?" Temptress said.
"Its real lighting" Itachi said for Mistress' Sasuke….'
(Back at the valley)
Naruto was still wide eye shocked seeing the lighting beast high above the skies" what the heck is that thing?!"
Sasuke grinned the lighting cursing through his right hand" consider yourself lucky Naruto I've been saving this technique for Itachi but it seems I will use it on you instead. This is my ultimate technique I call it Kirin I draw the lighting directly from the thunder clouds to supplement the power of my strike and control it with my chakra. All I have to do is point hand to the direction I want it to strike and people thought that it was impossible to redirect lighting."
"But you said that you were out of chakra!" shouted the blond.
"I did but handling Kirin only requires a tiny bit of chakra, even the smallest amount can be use for the technique. I managed to saved a small amount of my chakra for the technique did you seriously believe I will waste all of my chakra risking dying from chakra exhaustion?"
"I guess you're not that stupid teme" Naruto replied with a grin.
Sasuke gave an evil smile" it's time to die dobe….disappear with the thunderclap!!!"
Sasuke pointed straight at him unleashing the lighting beast at him.
'I have no choice but to use it!' Naruto thought.
BOOM!!!
The explosion Kirin caused was twice as big as the one caused by Naruto's rasengan bomb when he used it on Orochimaru. It was so powerful that damage part of the stone statues near the waterfall. Both statues of the first Hokage and Madara were badly damaged from the waist down because of the impact of the attack. Sasuke was smiling he finally did it, he killed Naruto and now he could finally go after Itachi and have his revenge. He panted feeling so tire and exhausted but everything was worth it. In the end he was the one who was victorious he defeated Naruto also known as Kitsune Flash. He smiled of course he was going to win the fight he was an Uchiha no one could compare to the mighty Uchiha clan. He felt on one knew while panting he was truly enjoying the taste of victory. Pretty soon the dark clouds that he used to form Kirin finally disappeared bringing a clear day.
'It's over….I won….looks like no matter how much you train Naruto or how strong you got you were always a dead last heh…'
He was still smiling but he never noticed that Naruto was next to appearing in a yellow blur" impressive technique Sasuke."
"What?!!" shouted the Uchiha in shock seeing him.
Naruto punched him sending him to the ground it was the final blow to finally defeat him making Naruto the winner of the long battle.
"It's not possible!" the shocked Sasuke said as he down on the ground" how…how did you dodged Kirin?!"
"I have my secrets Sasuke" replied Naruto with a grin.
"Tell me how Kirin was a technique that couldn't be dodged it's a lighting release that surpasses all lighting ninjutsu in terms of power. It's impossible for someone to dodged lighting no one is fast enough to move faster than 0.1 seconds it's inhuman!"
"You'll be surprise" Naruto said thinking of his father.
"Well the fight is really over now so don't be stubborn and say it's not over yet, you're already worn out as it is" Naruto went to him while taking some chakra rope from his coat pocket started to tie the Uchiha up along with wrapping his eyes so he's unable to use his sharingan on him just like he did with Itachi.
"Why….why are you so strong I trained so hard to become as strong as I am today and yet I didn't stand a chance against you, you're always one step ahead of me?!" cried the Uchiha.
"It's simple Sasuke your motivation to get strong is hatred revenge if you have those as your main objective to get strong you will never become strong. As for my motivation to protect my friends and my village that motivation is all I need to train hard and become strong for them, the people that are precious to me is all that matters to me. You were once one of my precious people until you broke my trust and try to kill me."
"I have no regrets for the things I did in the past I chose to break my bonds with you and the village, I desire revenge more than anything in this world I would make the same choices all over again."
Naruto shook his head" you were wrong you never broke my bonds with me and team seven because I've been thinking about you I always have. But I won't be forgiving you for what you did right now your fate will be decided by the Hokage and council. You should know Sasuke bonds aren't meant to be broken."
Sasuke stood quiet as Naruto started carrying him ready to leave the valley the battle was finally over. As he started walking out he noticed Sasuke's sword Kusanagi stabbed on the ground not too far from his position. He went towards the sword before putting the Uchiha gently on the ground he picked it while sheathing it back he was grinning gazing at the weapon.
'I think I will keep this as a trophy for beating the teme again.'
He carried Sasuke again walking out before heading to the border of the valley. He smiled when he saw his team with Itachi coming at him running they were obviously worry sick about him. He also noticed that they have captured the rest of Sasuke's team he felt proud for them they have done a good job.
"Naruto!!" both Mistress and Temptress shouted before hugging him tightly.
Huntress was frowning at the sight at the way her teammates were hugging their leader but she erased the thought. She felt happy and relief to see that he was fine and he has defeated the Uchiha.
"Hey easy everyone I'm okay a little tire but okay" Naruto replied blushing because of the hug.
"We were so worried about you Naruto-kun" Mistress said.
"Yeah we saw that huge lighting attack and we got scare" Temptress replied.
"Yeah I got scare too but I'm all right" Naruto said with his fox grin.
"Hey what's this?" Huntress asked as she picked up something colored orange burned and it was half melted.
Naruto's eyes widened as his jaw hit the ground" AH my favorite mask is ruined it must have been burned by one of Sasuke's fire jutsus!"
He heard the Uchiha chuckling happy that he did that to his fox mask being carry on the blonds' shoulder" quiet teme!"
He sighed" looks like I will have to go back to Tanzaku and buy another one."
"You should really buy a spare just for these kinds of emergencies" Temptress said.
"Yeah I will take your advice Temptress thanks" he smiled gazing at his team" you all did an awesome job taking Sasuke's team I'm very proud of all of you granny did the right thing in putting a team for me."
His comment made the three mask kunoichis blushed feeling their heart skipping a beat. Being praised by their for a job well done felt so great for them they were truly happy and they hope they can continue to do a great job for him in future missions ahead.
"Hey wait" Naruto said noticing that there was one member missing from team snake" I see Juugo and Karin where's Suigetsu?"
They kunoichis were puzzle since they didn't know before Temptress was about to open her mouth.
"Hey get me out of here you crazy bitch!!!"
Everyone gasped the loud yell that sounded very close from them.
"What was that?!" asked Huntress.
"It sound very close to us" Mistress replied.
Naruto sweat dropped" the voice it came from you Temptress mind telling me what is that?"
Temptress grinned" well Suigetsu turned into water and his time ran out because he couldn't keep his body hydrated without drinking water so there was only way to carry him" she took her water cantenn while everyone except Itachi had their wide as saucers" what's the better way to store water than in a water canteen!" she was smiling sweetly.
Everyone sweat dropped except Itachi who was still quiet.
"Come on damn it get me out of here you crazy bitch!!!" Suigetsu shouted again.
"Quiet last I check water doesn't talk!" Temptress shouted at her water canteen.
"Temptress you're crazy" Huntress said.
"No more like your insane" Naruto replied with a sweat dropped.
"Thank you I will take them as compliments."
"I think it will be best if we leave" Itachi finally spoke.
Sasuke who was still conscious heard him' that…voice' he glared of course he recognized the voice of his older brother" Itachi!"
Sasuke tried to break free but he was still too weak to even move while Naruto was still holding him" that's enough Sasuke you're in no condition to move."
"Let me go I have to kill him….I will kill you did you hear me Itachi!!!"
Itachi lowered his gaze" I'm sorry Sasuke…"
"Sorry you think saying sorry will bring mom and dad and everyone from the clan back bastard you make me sick I will kill you and avenge everyone!!!"
The three mask kunoichis were feeling all sorts of feeling from Sasuke's outburst. Among them were anger, sorrow and pity while Naruto was trying to control himself from beating the Uchiha to a pulp. Instead he took one of the sleep serum needles and stabbed Sasuke with it. Eventually the Uchiha felt asleep before Naruto turned to Itachi who was quiet his eyes reflecting sorrow.
"I'm sorry Itachi."
"That's all right I have gotten use to his hatred" replied the older Uchiha.
"Maybe we should tell Sasuke the truth" Mistress said.
"No that will only complicate things he's not ready for the truth trust me, telling him the truth will make Sasukke feel worst and his hatred for the village will grow more than the ones he has for Itachi" Naruto said.
"I guess you're right" Huntress replied.
"Everyone we have done the mission now let's head back" Naruto said gazing at nowhere in peculiar' Fukasaku must have left by now thanks again old toad.'
"Oh great I have to carry this heavy ass sword again" Temptress mumble while lifting Suigetsus's sword.
Naruto took a scroll from his coat pocket" Temptress have you forgotten about sealing scrolls?"
He opened the scroll and made a hand seal before the long sword vanished before he closed the scroll again putting it back again in his pocket" you see is that simple to carry a heavy weapon or anything with scrolls."
"Yeah I kind of forgot about that" replied Temptress.
"Carry everyone I will carry Sasuke let's get going" Naruto said.
They resumed with carry the team members Huntress carried Karin while Mistress was carrying Juugo and Itachi offered to help her since she was having trouble carrying him before. They were finally out of the valley on the top of the border where leads to the forest before stopped walking looking back to the valley.
"Is something wrong Naruto-kun?" asked Mistress.
The blond shook his head" no…I guess it's nothing let's go."
They left while Itachi was looking at the blond like he knew what he was thinking or more precise what he was feeling. When they left not too far away Zetsu appeared from the ground, it seems he has watched the whole thing including the fight.
"First Itachi now his little brother this is getting interesting" white Zetsu said.
"But this makes things a little complicated especially with Itachi betraying us" replied black Zetsu.
"Let's report back to leader-sama."
The plant man went back to underground and vanished from sight.
(In the forest)
"Did you feel it too Itachi?" asked Naruto as they were traveling jumping from the tree branches.
"What do you mean?" asked Huntress.
"If you're talking about back at the valley yes I did….we were being watched."
"I should it know I knew I wasn't imagining that faint chakra signature back there."
"Who was watching us?" asked Temptress.
"Zetsu" Itachi said.
"Zetsu?" asked Naruto.
"He's a member of Akatsuki he's the spy who watched over the members and reports the jinchurikki fights and anything that involves the organization business, he's the one who always reports first to the leader."
"So wait does that mean that he saw everything?!" asked the shocked Huntress.
"I'm afraid so he must have watched the whole fight between Naruto-kun and Sasuke it seems they already know of my betrayal to the organization."
"It was meant to happened Itachi one way or the other however this make things easier for us, Itachi you said this Zetsu will report to the Akatsuki leader right?"
"Yes that is correct."
"Then that means they have gathered to talk about it as I speak right?"
"I suppose…"
"Good then everyone let's go to the ground and stop for the moment."
They jumped from the tree landing safely on the ground before Itachi gazed at the blond again.
"What are you planning to do Naruto-kun?"
Naruto smiled at him before looking to his team" everyone I think it's time that we try that new trick Itachi taught us."
"Right!" the kunoichis replied.
(Location: unknown)
Seven holographic shadowy figures appeared in the dark room. The remaining members of Akatsuki have gathered to discuss the matter at hand because their leader has summoned them for the meeting.
"What do you have to report Zetsu?" asked the leader.
"Itachi has betrayed us" answered black Zetsu.
"He is helping the nine tails jinchurikki" replied white Zetsu.
"Itachi a traitor I didn't see that coming hmm." Deidara said.
"This won't look good for us Itachi was a valuable member" Sasori said.
"It doesn't matter it was to be expected since he was always so quiet to begin with, his betrayal won't delay our plans Kisame was more valuable to us than Itachi because of his huge amount of chakra he was a big help for the sealing process" leader said.
"This won't harm our economy status so is fine" replied Kakuzu.
"Whatever how about if we go and beat the living shit out of him I won't mind sacrificing another asshole for Jashin-sama" Hidan said.
"Enough you won't do such thing you will resume to your mission in capturing the remaining jinchurikkis" leader said.
"That won't be happening."
Everyone turned to see as a new holographic shadowy figure appearing before them with similar spiky hair just like their leader.
"Who are you?!" asked Sasori.
"That's…" white Zetsu started.
"Kitsune Flash" black Zetsu finished for his half.
"Just how can you do the holographic jutsu hmm?" asked Deidara.
"Itachi taught it to you" the leader replied for the blond.
"That's right he's a very good teacher" Naruto said his eyes gazed at the leader only" I'm here to let you know that as long as I'm alive you won't be capturing in anymore jinchurikkis do you hear me?" his voice was dead serious.
"You think you can just threaten us like that?" Sasori said sounding offended.
"What a fucking pussy!" Hidan retorted.
"I'm not threatening you I'm giving you a warning I will hunt each and every one of you and stop your evil plot you!" Naruto pointed to the leader" make sure your leader knows about that because I'm coming for him too."
The members with exception of the leader and another holographic figure became puzzle by the blonds' comment not knowing what he was talking about. Naruto grinned before more holographic shadowy figures appeared joining the blond.
"If you want to get to our leader you will have to get pass us first" Huntress said.
"We will stop you" Temptress said.
"We won't let you fulfill your plan" Mistress said.
"Say what you will it won't do you any good" Kakuzu said.
"Just making sure you get the picture that I'll be coming for all you and my team will be ready to fight farewell!"
The four holographic figures vanished.
"What a bunch of queers threatening us so freely" Hidan said.
"That's enough ignore them if any of you by chance encounter Kitsune Flash and his team don't hesitate to kill them and bring Kitsune back alive we need to extract the Kyuubi after all" leader said.
"Leader-sama what did he meant by making sure to tell your leader?" Sasori said.
"Yeah I'm curious about that too you are our leader yah" Deidara said.
"Never mind that scatter and continue with your mission" replied leader.
"We'll arrive in Suna in a couple of days" Sasori said.
"We still have a way to go before finding our jinchurikki" Kakuzu said.
"Good this meeting is over."
Everyone vanished except the leader and another figure that turned to him looking a bit concern" Pain?"
"I know Konan Itachi must have told him the truth" Pain said.
"Should we tell Madara?" Konan replied.
"That won't be necessary he was well aware of Itachi's betrayal he's probably planning to handle the Kyubbi jinchurikki let's go Konan."
Konan nodded and they both vanished.
(Back in the forest)
Itachi saw as Naruto along with the three kunoichis were in a meditate state while making a hand seal. Soon Naruto opened his eyes and he got up followed by his team they were done with the holographic technique.
"Well the message is out to them Akatsuki now knows of us and they will be expecting us to protect the remaining jinchurikkis" Naruto said.
"We'll be ready for them" Temptress replied.
"Thank you for teaching us the technique Itachi" Mistress said.
"I'm glad I was able to help" replied the older Uchiha.
Naruto got his attention sensing a couple of familiar chakra signatures before grinning" if you guys are here then that means granny allowed me to capture Sasuke too right?"
Everyone turned to see ANBU captain Shikamaru and Neji watching at them from top of a tree branch, they jumped down meeting the group.
"So you captured all of them besides Sasuke" Neji said.
"Yeah it was easier since I had my team helping me" replied the blond giving his fox grin.
"Where's Kakashi and Yugao?" asked Huntress.
"I already send them off to a mission you know how troublesome Tsunade-sama is when it comes to barking orders" replied the lazy captain.
"You're lucky she's not here to listen to your comment" Huntress replied with a smirk.
"Whatever let's get everyone and here I thought we only had to carry Sasuke troublesome" Shikamaru looked at the unconscious along with Karin and Juugo.
"You knew Sasuke wasn't traveling alone" Neji replied.
"Yeah whatever" mumble the lazy ANBU captain.
"Here give this to them just to make sure they don't wake up before reaching Konoha" Naruto said while giving Neji a couple of the sleep serum.
"Understood let's carry all of them" the Hyuga said carrying Juugo while Shikamaru carried Karin.
"Oh here don't forget water boy" Temptress said giving her water canteen to the ANBU captain.
"Why are you giving me this Ino?"
"I swear you crazy bitch if I find a way to get out of here I will kill you did you hear me?!!" Suigetsu's angry voice coming from inside the canteen
"What the?!!" Shikamaru was shocked along with Neji.
"It's a long story the guy can turn into water and his stuck like that so I had to put him in my canteen just don't ask how I did it" Temptress said.
"Okay we'll take him too" Shikamaru took the canteen strapping it on his belt.
"What about Sasuke?" asked Neji.
"I will carry him" Itachi said.
"Don't get any ideas Itachi" Shikamaru hoping that he didn't took the chance to escape with his brother.
"There's no place for me to go I will follow you to Konoha I have made up my mind thanks to Naruto-kun."
"So you're going to take my offer?" asked the blond.
"Yes I want to have another chance to find a better way to protect the village and perhaps…." Itachi's eyes softened while gazing at Sasuke' no I will never have his forgiveness he hates me with all of his strength.'
"Well let's get going" Shikamaru said as they were carrying the members of team snake ready to depart to Konoha.
Itachi carried Sasuke by his shoulder" Naruto-kun?"
Hmm…"
"Thank you I am in your debt."
"No problem Itachi I'm just glad to have you back on our side without doing it in secrecy."
For once in his entire life since the massacre Itachi gave a smile before he left with the ANBU towards the leaf village.
'Good luck Itachi maybe Sasuke can someday forgive you.'
"You know it really is amazing how you can change people for the better Naruto" Huntress said smiling at him.
"Yeah you're so kindhearted and you make people believe in themselves and you too" Temptress said.
"You're very good when it comes to inspire people Naruto-kun" Mistress said smiling.
Naruto started blushing from the compliments" come on you guys stop it."
"Oh look at him he's blushing are you embarrassed Naruto?" Temptress said in a sugar coated tone while Huntress and Mistress were giggling.
"No I'm not!" the blond retorted turning his back on them feeling embarrassed his face was still red.
They share a laugh together before they headed out. The three kunoichis however they made one mental note about their leader as they travel on that he looks very cute when he's blushing.
(Time skip)
(Location: interrogation division department first floor Konoha fire country territory)
Tsunade, Shizune and Jiraiya were walking the halls of the building on their way to visit Ibiki who was in charge of the interrogation team. They received reports that the missing nin Uchiha Sasuke was captured by Kitsune and his team along with the Uchiha's team and his brother Itachi. Itachi was called by Tsunade and the council to decide his verdict a couple of hours ago. They voted him not guilty since he was just following orders by the elders. Although the elders didn't said a word about the older Uchiha's presence, not to mention the silent glare Itachi gave to Danzou and the old war hawk ignored it like it didn't matter to him. They entered an office seeing Ibiki and Anko next to him.
"Hey Hokage-sama is it true that Itachi is here and he's being found innocence for the Uchiha massacre?!" asked Anko who was shocked.
"I will tell you later Anko I have signed the papers for Itachi to remain as a Konoha citizen he will be given the rights to the Uchiha clan as well as the heir" replied Tsunade.
"Although I still think you're rushing on things a little" Jiraiya said.
"I have to agree with Jiraiya-sama we should give some time before you can give any rights to Itachi as well as the announcement of his return. I don't think the villagers are ready to know about him or even the truth of the massacre" Shizune said worried.
"I am well aware of the situation but this sort of thing can't wait I am not going to keep Itachi on house arrest for following orders, the people has the right to know the truth let them know that Itachi was innocent and a faithful follower of Konoha."
"I think we should get to the matter to why we're here Ibiki" Jiraiya said looking at the interrogator.
"We are keeping the Uchiha in one of the dark rooms ready to be interrogated rest assure we will get any vital information from Orochimaru from him" Ibiki said.
"What about the rest of his team?" asked Tsunade.
"They are back at ANBU headquarters they're in prison ready to be interrogated too" replied Anko.
"Good whenever you're ready Ibiki" Tsunade said.
Ibiki nodded while Anko intervene" I'm want to have a shot at that Uchiha he must have the snake contract I need it although the copy is working just fine"
"Copy?" asked Shizune.
"Yeah I made a copy of the snake contract before Orochimaru left the village it was my way of getting even with that bastard for giving me the curse seal of course the third help me."
"Anyway Ibiki I'm counting on you to get the information I want from Sasuke" Tsunade said.
"Of course I'll be on it" replied the interrogator.
Tsunade left the office with Shizune following her.
"Well I better get going too I have business to attend to. I'm going to underground division headquarters" Jiraiya said.
Ibiki reacted a little while Anko noticed it and grin but remain quiet" Jiraiya-sama are you going to visit Megumi?"
"I am I must talk to her don't worry I'll tell her that you say hi" the toad sanin gave a smirk.
Anko chuckle before hitting him playfully on the shoulder" what's with you and that woman Megumi is she your girlfriend or something?"
"That will be none of your business Anko."
"Come on don't be like that do you like her?" the snake mistress was smirking.
"I said none of your business not go back to work don't be lazy!" he left his office without saying another word but anyone could tell that he wasn't happy a bit.
Jiraiya shook his head looking at the young woman" you shouldn't have said that you know that Ibiki doesn't like talking about his past" he sighed' especially when it's about Megumi.'
"So what's with him and that woman?" asked Anko who wanted to know about the details and gossip.
"Not now I have to go" the toad sanin left the office while the snake mistress wasn't happy.
"Shessh what's with Ibiki anyway is she his girlfriend or not?"
Ibiki was walking the halls not looking happy. He really didn't like thinking about the past since it was nothing pretty. Among his past was when he was almost burned alive protecting his younger brother Idate to Megumi. He erased his thoughts thinking about his personal life and concentrated on his duty opening the door to one of the interrogation room. He entered closing the door behind him before he took a look at his victim. Sasuke was tied up to a chair while he was still blindfolded, by now he was wide awake and he wasn't happy.
He turned on the small light on the table ready to start the interrogation" all right how about if you start talking and tell me any valid information about Orochimaru that you may know?"
Sasuke chuckle" I won't say a word no matter what you do to me I won't say anything."
Ibiki sighed" like I wasn't expecting you not to tell me so willingly obviously doing it the nice way isn't going to work with you, you leave me no choice."
Sasuke knew of Ibiki from back at the first test of the chunin exams. He knew he was a master of verbal torture and he was going to resist no matter what. After all he was stronger than back at the chunin exams so he won't have a problem surviving Ibiki's interrogation he wasn't going to give in to his mind games. He was going to be sorry because he had no idea what he has gotten himself into.
"Now let's begin…" Ibiki said with a deadly serious face.
The whole building heard the loud scream of pain while the others workers were ignoring it. After all it was another day at work for them they have gotten used to hear people in screaming in pure agony. Anko heard the scream and was grinning in amusement wishing she could be there seeing the Uchiha suffering from the torture session.
'That Ibiki better leave me a piece of the action…I still need to know about the snake contract though.'
(Uchiha clan compound western village district)
Itachi was standing in front of his former home. So many memories both good and bad were running through his head right now. Every single happy memory that he spend with his family to the horrible day when he fulfill the mission that was going to change his and Sasuke's life forever. He couldn't get the image from his head, the massacre of his fellow clan members to his own family and turning his younger brother into an obsessive avenger. He walked towards the house and open edthe front door. It was very dusty since it's been quite a while anyone has live in these part of the village. Entering inside he saw everything scattered around a complete mess of his former home. He knew that it must have been the ANBU investigating to find any clues about the massacre or perhaps it was Danzou's ROOT members that they wanted to make sure that there wasn't any clue that leads to their leader. He passed through the messy dusty halls of the house before reaching his room.
His room was worse than the rest of the house. It looked like a hurricane has passed through his room, it was all part of the ANBU investigation. Who knows maybe it was thieves that break in since there was no one living after the massacre took place. He saw something that caught his eye between the trash and rubble there was a letter and he recognized the hand writing that belongs to his brother Sasuke. He smiled reading it the letter it was a gift for his sixteen birthday he could never forget that gifts his little brother gave him.
To Itachi:
Happy birthday big brother don't forget that you're the best brother in the whole world I won't lose to you.
I love you
Sasuke
He smiled warmly at the letter while he didn't realize that a small tear has run down from his left cheek. He wrapped the letter and decided to keep it, it was gift from his little brother and he will accept it. Although things look bad he didn't care he has chosen to take this path this second chance that he has been given. It was all thank to Naruto and the Hokage and he was going to make sure not to waste it. He was just wearing civilian clothing since he was glad to take off the Akatsuki cloak and his scratched Konoha headband. Tsunade has put him back as an active ninja of Konoha before giving him a few days off so he can get some rest and get used to his new life from being a secret spy. He left his room and took a long glance around the house he knew what to do. The first thing he needed to do is to clean the whole place up before he can actually settle in. So he went to looked for his mother's broom if it was still in the house that is.
'Home sweet home…'
(Location: somewhere in a forest fire country territory)
It was late in the afternoon and team Kitsune Flash has already made camp to stay for the night before heading out on their missions. They have prepared their sleeping bags along with a camp fire and they were now ready to eat. The kunoichis have taken their masks off although they have gotten used with wearing them like a second face and they didn't have a problem with them at all. Right now Naruto wasn't happy after losing his mask fighting Sasuke. He was holding what was left of his orange fox mask with a sad puppy face since he has considered it to be his favorite and something precious. Like the rest of his team he has come to get used to wear the mask like it was another face. Sakura was worried for him along with Ino and Hinata. The pink haired medic didn't like seeing him so down the only thing that came to her mind is to cheer him up.
She got seated next to him while putting her hand on his shoulder to comfort him" hey don't look so gloom Naruto we'll go to Tanzaku and you can buy another mask exactly like you're old one."
"Yeah don't get so down we'll ask the guy that makes mask so he can make you an exact replica of your fox mask!" Ino replied cheery trying to cheer him up just like her best friend.
Hinata nodded smiling" how about if we help with the pay for Naruto-kun's mask?"
"That's a great idea Hinata we'll all help to buy your mask!" Sakura said agreeing with the Hyuga heiress plan.
"Were a team so were in this together!" replied Ino.
The tall blond smiled at their positive attitude he felt better all of the sudden" thanks you guys but you don't have to give me your share of the money I have enough from Kisame's bounty, I can buy another mask with my share but thanks again. We'll go to Tanzaku first thing in the morning I can't be Kitsune Flash if I'm not wearing my mask right?" he gave his fox grin.
"Right I'm getting hungry so what we have for food?" asked the Yamanaka.
"Well I have some ramen cups but I don't feel like eating ramen today so…." Naruto paused seeing the shocking expressions on their faces he sweat dropped " hey I love ramen more than anything in the world but I do have a limit, you guys already know I can cook other food besides ramen."
"Yeah and it still is scary to think about it" Sakura said with a smirk while Ino and Hinata giggle at her comment.
"I know it's shocking but it's the truth so we will have to get some food from around here, there's a rive not too far from here it's near to a waterfall Hinata how about if you go get us some fish?"
"Right I don't have a problem with that I'll be right back" the Hyuga heiress replied before leaving the camp site.
"Well I'm going to change so if you'll excuse me" he turned to leave.
"Take your time Naruto" Ino said while licking her lips wanting to take a peek at him.
"No peeking Ino I mean it" the blond replied seriously.
"Party bopper" muttered the platinum blond.
"You're such a pervert Ino" replied Sakura.
"Look who's talking?"
"What was that?!"
"Sakura no peeking to you too" Naruto's voice came from the distance.
"Take that Sakura" the Yamanaka grinned.
"He's right it's contagious since I'm with a pervert" the pink haired medic grinned.
"Yeah you're right….hey!" Ino was offended while Sakura giggle.
(Near the river)
Hinata was walking towards the river hoping to try a new trick that will help her a lot and this was the best opportunity she has been looking for. When she got to the river she halted sensing that she wasn't alone someone was near her position. She remained calm but she took a kunai just in case taking a closer look at the unknown person near her location. She saw not too far from the river stood a woman holding a fishing rod she was obviously fishing. She noticed her long red hair and blue eyes she was wearing a regular traveling outfit. A Chinese vest style colored white with long red baggy pants and black sandals with white sucks. The Hyuga heiress felt a little relief the older woman didn't looked dangerous or if she was an enemy just a regular traveler. She got near her while the red head was smiling at her fishing so far she hasn't caught anything yet.
Kushina smiled sensing the girl next to her" came to fish too?!"
Hinata was a little startle before smiling back" I guess I need some food for my friends. I hope you don't mind if I seat next to you."
"Not at all please go ahead."
Hinata smiled again before sitting next to her Kushina gazed back noticing something important" where's you fishing rod?"
Hinata felt herself blushing at the question although she had her own way of fishing she felt embarrassed" well I……"
"Did you forget to bring it with you?" the red head was smirking.
"I guess so….." replied the Hyuga heiress blushing.
Kushina was still smiling before taking a fishing rod next to her showing it to the teen" here you're lucky I always bring another rod just in case you never know."
"Thank you….um what's your name?"
"It's Kushina" replied the red head.
"Please to meet you Kushina-san I'm Hinata."
"I'm pleased to meet you too Hinata I'm glad to have some company its get a little boring and lonely fishing all the way here. This hour is great for fishing most of the fish are moving swimming in this river luckily we'll have quite a catch."
"Although it's better to fish on the portside of the fire country where all the fisherman work, fish are most commonly found by the shores" Hinata said.
"That is true but I'm not traveling all the way to the shore I'm feeling lazy today so it's better to fish here you're very knowledgeable Hinata."
"I learned a lot of things very useful it never hurts to learn about other things too."
"I guess learning is also another part of your ninja training" Kushina replied while gazing at the teen.
"What…how did you know I'm a ninja?!" Hinata was a little shocked.
"Your clothing I can see your shuriken hostler too. Also you just told me" the red head smirked.
The Hyuga heiress sighed" you got me I guess it's too obvious when you're wearing clothing like mine I'm sorry if I didn't tell you."
"It's all right it probably didn't cross your mind I can also tell that you're from the Hyuga clan."
"What?!" Hinata gasped looking at her.
"Your eyes white eyes are very rare to see although if it's someone who belongs to the Hyuga clan it won't be so rare at all."
This time Hinata smiled instead of being shocked" you got me again you're right I am from the Hyuga clan."
"What an honor it is to meet someone from one of Konoha's strongest clan."
Hinata smiled again while blushing feeling embarrassed. She wasn't so surprise that she knew about her clan, after all the Hyuga clan has gotten quite a reputation over the years. They were the strongest clans in the leaf village along with the extinct Uchiha clan. Hinata finally prepared her fishing rod ready to fish with Kushina this will be her first time fishing she eventually thought that it won't be so hard to do. She was going to regret her decision a lot. For the past thirty minutes Hinata was starting to lose her patience and she was getting boring and annoyed. She hasn't caught a single fish as well as Kushina, but unlike her the red head was calm looking very focus on the task and not letting her patience go thin.
She sighed' this is harder than I thought and to think I never gone fishing before even when I was doing missions on my own or with my teammates it didn't occurred to me to fish. I really want to try that trick it's a lot easier than this.'
Kushina smiled while keeping her eyes on the water" you're not very patient aren't you?"
"I am but in this case I am a bit in a hurry" she replied thinking of Naruto and the girl she really didn't wanted to keep them waiting for far too long so that they will die from hunger.
"Fishing takes lots of patience it's the best exercise to train the mind you have to be calm like the water."
"I understand Kushina-san" Hinata nodded before activating her byakugan.
She noticed that they weren't very much fish in the water but they were rather by the middle of the river' fishing here will be tougher because most of the fish are in the middle.'
Suddenly Kushina lifted her fishing rod shocking Hinata and she gasped seeing that the red head has caught a long fish.
"Kushina-san it's a big one!" Hinata was shocked.
The red head smirked in victory" I told you patient is important in fishing it's also the key to succeed."
"Right I'll try harder."
Kushina put her fish down while gazing at the Hyuga heiress and the water" Hinata do you have someone precious in your life?"
"What?" Hinata felt herself blushed at the question.
"You're very attractive I wouldn't be surprised if you have a boyfriend."
Hinata's blush got worst before she shook her head rapidly" no…no…I don't have a boyfriend I….well there is someone I like very much he's very precious to me."
The red head smirked" so there's someone on your sights why don't you tell me about him?"
The Hyuga heiress smiled thinking about a certain tall blond" he's very kindhearted and hard working and he's very handsome too. He was also the person who gave me the confidence to believe in myself it's because of him that I have trained so hard to become as strong as I am now."
Kushina smiled warmly" he seems to be a dream too good to be true."
"No he's a dream come true" replied Hinata smiling thinking about Naruto.
"That's very deep Hinata you really love him?"
"I do" Hinata was still smiling with a blush on her cheeks.
"Have you told him how you feel?" asked the red head.
The Hyuga heiress blushed deep thinking of confessing her feelings for Naruto" um….I haven't not yet…I guess I'm not ready to tell him yet."
"I understand if you're nervous but don't take too long to tell him. Life is full of chances and opportunities and you shouldn't waste a chance it's better to tell him late than never."
Hinata nodded with a smile" I know when I'm ready I'll tell him."
She went back to concentrate on her fishing and she still hasn't caught a single fish yet. If this continues any longer her leader and teammates were going to die of hunger.
She sighed" Kushina-san I don't have time to waste I need to catch lots of fish but I can't do it like this."
What do you mean do you know of another way to fish?" the red head was interested and curious to know what the Hyuga heiress has in mind.
"I do" she replied with a smile before she got up and went to the river.
She walked the water while Kushina was still curious to what she has in mind. Hinata activated her byakugan seeing all of the fishes in the water before counting them.
'One..two..three..four..five this is perfect there's enough fish here for all of us.'
She went into her gentle fist stance with her byakugan activated she was prepared to fight or more precise to fight some fish" eight trigrams sixty four palms!"
Kushina gasped as Hinata started doing a barrage of palms hitting the water. But instead of using her palms to this the water literally she was grabbing all of the fishes. She wasn't basically hitting the fishes she was grabbing them using her fast gentle fist taijutsu. In less than five minutes Hinata has taken over ten fish as they were all back at the river border. She finally finished using her technique before deactivating her bloodline to gaze at the great catch. She smiled while looking at Kushina who had her mouth wide open the whole time at the sight. Hinata left the water while heading to her smiling.
"I guess this will be enough for my friends."
"Well now I know who to call when I go fishing you certainly do it a lot faster like that than the old fashion way" Kushina replied with a smirk.
Hinata laughed before giving her a couple of fishes" would you like more fish Kushina-san?"
"Oh that's all right Hinata I'm fine enough with one fish as it is."
Hinata took some chakra rope to tie the fishes" are you sure Kushina-san I have plenty?"
"No it's all right I am not that hungry anyway you should probably head back to your friends they must be very hungry."
"Yes you're right I guess I'll be on my way now. Kushina-san I'm glad I met you."
The red head smiled" I feel the same way Hinata I hope we can meet again someday."
"Maybe our paths will cross again" the Hyuga heiress replied before taking all the tie fish and starting walking away.
She took one last look at Kushina but she gasped seeing that the red head was gone like she vanished' that's strange…'
(Time skip)
"WOW!!!" Naruto Sakura and Ino shouted in unison seeing all of the fish that Hinata caught for them.
"Let's cook them on the fire" Hinata said smiling.
"You bet I'm hungry!" Ino said.
"I never thought you would catch so many fish Hinata" Sakura said in awe.
"Yeah Hinata you're amazing!" Naruto said smiling at her causing the Hyuga heiress to blush at his compliment.
"Thank you Naruto-kun."
"All right time to eat!" shouted the blond.
They waited for the fish to cook on the fire before they eventually started eating. After a couple of minutes they took their first bites and it was delicious or perhaps it was because they were very hungry that they thought it was tasty and satisfying for their taste buds. Nevertheless they enjoy the meal a lot and they only have one person to thank for the great meal. Hinata was blushing while taking another bite from her fish she was still being complimented by her leader and teammates she couldn't control her blushing. They were happy for the amazing catch she couldn't help but giggle mentally wondering what will be their reaction if they find out that she used her gentle fist for fishing.

I was dark when Naruto slowly opened his eyes he was having trouble sleeping. He looked around and saw Sakura sleeping soundly on her sleeping bag the same with Ino. However the Yamanaka had a big smile on her face as she sleeps he didn't want to know what she was dreaming, it was anything but pure and innocent. That's when took a look at Hinata's sleeping bag but it was empty. He rose up from his bag and got worry the Hyuga heiress was obviously gone. He quickly concentrated his chakra in an attempt to locate Hinata's chakra source. Soon his eyes opened sensing her chakra which it wasn't too far from their location. He left the camp site following her chakra signature hoping that she was all right and nothing bad has happen to her. After a couple of minutes he reached a waterfall that connects to the river where Hinata went fishing. As he got closer Hinata's chakra signature was getting stronger he knew she was here.
Suddenly his eyes widened as he saw a familiar set of clothing lying on the ground. It was Hinata's Mistress Uniform giving him the idea that wherever the Hyuga heiress was she was not fully clothed. He felt his whole face turned red thinking the possibility of seeing a naked Hinata before giving a perverted grin. His perverted thinking was halted when he heard the sound of water splashing coming from ahead in the water fall. His eyes widened as he gazed at the most beautiful sight he has ever laid eyes on. A shadowy figure was standing on the water playing with the water and her chakra. The way her chakra collided with the water giving it a wonderful sparkling radiated with her elegant body. Naruto knew who it was the naked person in the waterfall and he was mesmerized by the sight. He thought he was gazing upon a goddess who just felt to the earth. He was able to see the beauty of Hinata's body glowing with the moonlight, forgetting the fact that he had a reaction on his pants.
'How glamorous….this is Hinata!' he was blushing feeling frozen in his steps by the grace and beautiful sight.
The only he wanted and he was praying to Kami that he badly want to see every detail of the Hyuga heiress since he couldn't clearly see how she looks naked. Unfortunately for him his perverted fantasy had to be cut short because he accidentally step on a small branch causing a soft noise loud enough for anyone close to hear.
'Shit I screw up!' the blond cursed in anger.
Hinata stopped before gazing in front of her she has heard the noise" who's there?!!"
'Uh oh not good I have to get out of here before she sees me!'
He slowly walked out before he accidentally trip falling on his face' damn it this isn't my day!'
Hinata activated her byakugan as she spotted a familiar figure and familiar chakra system' this is….it's Naruto-kun!'
She felt her whole body turning red from embarrassment. No she couldn't let him see her naked or she will die from the embarrassment she will never be able to live with herself if something like this happens. She covered her voluptuous breasts before running to the border where her clothes were. She reached her uniform and started putting the clothes back.
Naruto got up from his fall and he needed to apologize to Hinata for his behavior or perverted behavior. He hoped that she doesn't get upset with him. He wasn't going to come clean it will possibly earned him a smack from the Hyuga heiress or perhaps a palm strike.
"I'm sorry Hinata I'm really sorry I didn't meant to peek at you it was just an accident!" he said in the most convincing tone ever.
He took a look and saw that Hinata was already fully clothed in her uniform except her mask. Although he was disappointed that she was no longer naked or that he never got the chance to see anything at all, he tried to give her a smile because he was nervous.
"Hinata?"
"It's okay Naruto-kun it wasn't your fault it was mine, I know that I shouldn't be doing my training when they are people nearby there's no need to apologize."
"Training?" the blond raised an eyebrow" you looked like you were dancing naked."
"It seems that way but I wasn't" Hinata replied while blushing a little.
"What were you doing then?"
"I was really training I've been trying to focus my chakra with the water it's for a new technique I've been working on."
"A new technique what is the technique about?" Naruto was now interested in learning more with a smile.
"I'm trying to make my chakra very flexible that it becomes visible to the human eye from my palms, by using the gentle fist style I can used the chakra to deflect attacks from enemies."
"Deflect attacks that sound like rotation technique isn't that the same?"
"It's the same but different at the same time the technique I'm trying to learn will be better and more effective than the great heavenly spin."
Naruto's eyes widened" you're kidding better than the rotation technique I remember when Neji used it on me it was considered the absolute defense and now you tell me that you're trying to learn something way better than the rotation?!"
"Yeah I'm trying to learn and so far I haven't had any luck it's not easy" she smiled at him.
"I see you're trying to push yourself hard as always good for you Hinata you will learn the technique eventually" Naruto smiled at him giving her a thumb up.
"Thank you Naruto-kun your confidence helps me a lot" Hinata blushed again.
"So why….were you training….naked?" the tall blond tried not to blush.
"Oh that well I have better control of chakra when I'm not wearing excess weight on my body so removing my clothing makes it easier for the gathering and control of chakra especially if you aren't wearing any weights."
"It will be hard for her to learn the technique since she has enough weight on her chest" the Kyuubi chuckle in amusement.
Naruto frowned at the fox's comment while he chuckle mentally because it made sense. Hinata's breasts probably gave her a little more weight on her body.
He smiled while looking at her" wow I didn't know about that I don't remember Iruka sensei teaching us about that at the academy!"
"It was taught to me by my father. By wearing too much clothing it makes it a little harder for one to control the flow of chakra in your body its more challenging that way. That's why they are people who like to use weights although they developed strength and stamina by wearing them they can also learn to control their chakra flow better. However if you're not wearing any clothing the chakra flow system in your body runs faster and it's easier to manipulate, which means that it will be very easy for anyone to perform a jutsu without wearing any clothing."
Naruto laughed" amazing if I knew about that sooner I would have been fighting missing nins naked"
He saw Hinata blushing at his comment" I'm just kidding Hinata."
She giggled" of course Naruto-kun I knew about that, it doesn't matter how light the clothing you're wearing is it will be extra weight for the chakra flow system it proves how delicate the chakra system is."
"I can imagine how hard it must be for the chakra when someone is wearing weights like Gai and bushy brows I guess that explains why they are so strong."
Hinata nodded" that's why I was training without any clothing although I still haven't learn it yet."
"You'll do fine Hinata by the way Sakura told me that you defeated Juugo on your own I'm very proud of you Hinata you have become very strong" he smiled at her.
Hinata was blushing but she felt like crying at the compliment she has actually done it. She was acknowledged by her father and now she was acknowledged by her crush and his compliment made her feel so alive. Her heart has skipped a beat but it was the best feeling she has ever felt in her entire life.
Naruto smiled at her before getting up" come on Hinata we better go back to camp we have to leave for Tanzaku tomorrow morning I really want to have my mask back."
"Sure thing Naruto-kun."
As they both started walked back to the camp site Naruto gazed at her" Hinata?"
"Hmm…"
"You're amazing."
She was still blushing before smiling" thank you Naruto-kun it means a lot to me that you say that" her heart skipped another beat' it means more than you can ever imagine Naruto-kun.'
"Maybe next time we can train naked together" Naruto gave a big grin.
His comment made the Hyuga heiress's face turned red like a tomato before the blond laughed" I'm just kidding Hinata!" he chuckle' she's so fun to tease.'
As they continued to walk Hinata was still blushing at his comment. If he only knew the kind of impure and perverted thoughts that were running in her head right now, the thought of her and her crush wearing nothing was so hot and sexy. Hinata gazed at Naruto while biting her lip looks like there was more to the Hyuga heiress than meets the eye.
(Location: unknown)
Jiraiya was walking the halls of a dark corridor while holding a torch. He was looking for the right person to report to him about something important. The place hasn't change a bit since it's the headquarters of the spies from the underground division. He reached a door before knocking once, the door opened and he entered inside. He was now in a room with a couple of torches and a large table there was also one person in the room accompanying the toad sanin. The person was a woman in her mid thirties with long raven black hair tied on a pony tail wearing a black cloak and black boot style sandals. Jiraiya got seated on the table along with the older woman.
"How are you doing sensei?" the woman said with a smile.
"I'm doing fine Megumi you're still as gorgeous as ever I see" Jiraiya gave a grin.
Megumi didn't react to her teacher's cheap advances because she has gotten to him since she was a genin" what kind of report would you like to know?"
"It's all right I already have all the information you have gathered to me….so far" his voice turned serious.
"What?" Megumi was confused by his comment" is there something wrong sensei?"
The toad sanin gazed at her seriously" Megumi listen up you're one of my top spies in the underground division after Itachi and I trust that you're not keeping any information from me."
"Of course not sensei I….." Megumi couldn't finished Jiraiya was glaring at her.
"You're lying already you are keeping information from me what is it?"
"I….sensei…."
"Megumi you know very well the consequences of your mistake by not telling me the information you're actions will be that of a traitor and you know the prize to pay for traitors. You know that keeping information that is considered vital to Konoha is strictly forbidden."
The older woman stood quiet before gazing back at his teacher" it's not the kind of information that would put Konoha in danger I would never turned my back on the village honest."
"You admit to be keeping information from me if its information that doesn't include putting Konoha in high risk then please tell me what is it?"
Megumi finally gave up before nodding her head" all right sensei I will tell you…."
Jiraiya nodded" good I'm listening."
To be continued
There another long chapter for all of you to enjoy. A cliffhanger but it wasn't a mean one I really wanted to add the Naru/Hina bonding moment they will be more moments along with Ino moments too. As for Sakura I will hold her off a little since I focused a lot on her during the first chapters. About Orochimaru dying so fast well Itachi beat him in less than five minutes with the sword of Totsuka and Naruto has become stronger than Jiraiya so what would you expect anyway. I'm very shocked about Madara's plan for world domination and the ten tails Kishi really had me there. I just watched chapter 468 and I am cheering that the kages have chosen to have an alliance with the land of iron and they chose Kakashi to be the leader of the alliance take that Danzou. I'm also looking forward to what Sakura is going to tell Naruto and the big fight between Kisame and the eight tails. Although I'm upset that there won't be manga next week Kishi's taking a break, chapter 469 will be release on October 30 as a Halloween treat from Kishi. But anyway what will happen now in the story what is Megumi hiding from Jiraiya it will be answer in the next chapter. Remember to review and I will see you all next time farewell.
Next chapter: Akatsuki attacks part 1: the great battle in the desert
