Akatsuki vs. the New Oraganization
-start-
The wind blew hard as the sun rose over the horizon. The rain ninja awoke and prepared for battle. They were sure that the sound village had prepared themselves already so this wasn't going to be and easily taken victory. Although they were going to attack the sound village with everything they had, they couldn't afford many casualties because they were still at war with the mist village. While the soldiers prepared, Pein went over the plan one final time. While he was finishing up someone rang the bell outside his tent. "Speak" Pein called out to whoever it was. "Sir we have finished our preparations and are ready to move out on your command" one of the messengers reported.
An hour later they were outside the sound village. The army was standing back, ready for the battle. As the akatsuki lined up in front of the massive gate, Pein gave the signal and Kisame stepped forward. He did several hand signs. "Water style: water shark bomb jutsu" he yelled. He slammed his hand on the ground and three massive sharks shot out of a puddle that formed on the ground. As they hit the gate they exploded and knocked it down. The army ran past the akatsuki, yelling as they charged. Although they couldn't see past the small cloud of smoke, they could hear the sounds of clashing metal, and the explosions of jutsu, as the battle began. Deidara threw a small bird on the ground and jumped as it grew underneath him. He flew off and started blowing up important looking buildings.
Just as he turned the bird around to sweep back through, he saw Orochimaru standing on the balcony of the kage building. Just as he relayed Orochimaru location to Pein, a massive summoning seal appeared on the ground and the great snake Manda appeared. Deidara quickly dodged as the snake attempted to strike and sent several bombs its way. Although they hit Manda didn't seem to be affected by it. As he continued the battle the akatsuki set out below. Hidan couldn't make it three steps in before seeing the bloodshed and deciding to stay behind and slaughter enemy ninja. Kakuzu stopped as well when he heard Hidan laughing like a maniac. Konan split into paper and flew to help Deidara with Manda. Katrina left with Tobi to go find strong ninja to battle, and the majority of those who weren't to accompany Pein lost themselves in the bloodshed of war. As Pein, Itachi, Kisame, and Hanato jumped through the carnage, the war raged on.
Hidan slaughtered everyone who raised a hand to him. He was sure he may have killed a few rain ninja as well but he couldn't bring himself to regret it. He was happier than a child on christmas. In the distance he could hear Kakuzu battling someone, who seemed to be putting up a fight. He stopped for a brief moment hoping to find a formidable opponent too. As if on cue a blade pierced his heart from behind. Hidan smiled but played along, falling to the ground with a gasp. "Hmph," said the owner of the blade "and I thought the akatsuki were supposed to be strong, yet they die as easily as any man." "Too bad I'm not any man" Hidan yelled with a large smile. He jumped up and tried to trip the man.
His eyes widened but he easily dodged Hidan's leg. "I don't understand, I peirced your heart" he yelled. "I'm in lord Jashins favor" he replied "so I cannot be killed." The man glared at him. "I'll find a way" he said as he charged at Hidan. "Fire style: inferno barrage" he yelled as he appeared behind Hidan. He shot two large fireballs from his hands but Hidan quickly dodged them. As he landed on a small building the two fireballs split into four, then eight, then 16. They kept on splittling each time he dodged, each time getting smaller and smaller. Finally he was surrounded by hundreds of small fireballs. They shot at him at blinding speed. It was nearly getting impossible to dodge. "If I can't kill you I'll turn you to ash" the man yelled before doing several more hand signs. A shadow clone appeared and did a hand sign. It then began controlling the fireballs as the original finished his hand signs. "Fire style: flame warrior" he yelled. Fire enveloped him and two massive fire axes sprouted from his hands.
Hidan was barely able to stop his axes with his scythe. He acted quickly and jumped over him slicing the clone in two. He pulled out a kunai knife and slide under the man's legs, cutting him behind his knee. Just as he licked the blade one of the axes collided with his throat. He jumped back before he lost his head. He flinched slightly but he smiled as his body turned black and white. The fire disappeared as the man's throat split open as well. He fell to his knees gurgling as the blood left his body. Hidan laughed at him and turned back towards the war.
Deidara circled around Manda, shooting larger bombs at him. It didn't seem to work as his massive size easily took the bombs blast. Konan formed several giant spears of paper and launched them at him. Although they hit him, and were big enough to damage him, they couldn't get through the snake's skin. The more chakra they expended the less it seemed like they could defeat the snake. Finally Deidara said "fuck it I'll show him what my art can really do hmm." He jumped off of his bird and made a two bigger ones. He landed on the left one and took them in the air by Manda.
He circled them around in the sky. His first bird stayed right behind the one he was sitting on. As Manda rose to strike again Deidara jumped back onto the smaller bird and quickly out maneuvered the snake. Just as Manda went to close his mouth Deidara sent both of the birds down his throat. Konan wrapped Mandas mouth closed with paper as he thrashed around. "Art is an explosion" Deidara yelled as the two birds exploded. Manada was blown to bits and the pieces of him disappeared in a puff of smoke. Deidara began making sweeps across the village dropping small bombs on the enemy soldiers. Konan flew around the battlefield keeping tabs on the progress of the war.
Katrina smiled as she kicked two ninja in head. With a sickening crack they fell to the ground. She was about to perform a jutsu when she heard a small sound. She stepped into the bushes and looked down. A small cat jumped onto her shoulder and started purring. "Oh my god, Mr. Whiskers Katrina haven't seen you since she destroyed the village hidden in the wheat" she said as she started to scratch him behind the ears. Tobi jumped down from the building he was on. His breath came in large pants. "Tobi look who Katrina found, he must have made his way from the wheat field, all the way here" she said. Tobi sat down and took off his mask, wiping the sweat from his brow.
"Tobi doesn't doubt it, the village wasn't too far from here really" he said. Two ninja stepped out and began to charge them. Tobi went to stand up but Katrina stopped him. "Watch Katrina's favorite trick" she said as she grabbed the cat and flung him at the ninja. It grabbed his face with its claws as she did a hand sign. "Explosive style: landmine jutsu" she said as a small explosion caught both of them. They screamed as they died a horrible death. "Well there goes the cat" Tobi said sitting back down. "No watch" she said. She smiled as the cat walked out of the smoke and jumped on her shoulder. "He does that every time" she said scratching his back. She smiled sitting next to Tobi. Mr. Whiskers sat in her lap and started purring.
Kinamora jumped out of the way as two more ninja lunged at her. She jumped and threw her two swords through their chests. "Damn this is more intense than I thought, I'm gonna have to step my game up" she said. She pulled a small summoning scroll and threw it on the ground. Two swords appeared. They were long and thin, both with a small curved blade coming out of the left side at the top, and another coming out of the right side at the bottom. A small crowd of ninja surrounded her. One of them stepped back. "Watch out that's Kinamora Shinen she's one of the demon ninja swordsmen of the mist" he said. "Yes and now you will all get a taste of my Kiba, better known as thunder fangs" she said with a smile. "I got these when I killed Misako Haruto" she said as she picked up the swords. (Ha that's why Misako never showed up to join akatsuki. Hanato ended up getting his job.)
She lifted the swords over her head and touched them together. Lightning enveloped both the blades. "Lightning release: lightning fang" she yelled as massive lightning bolts began frying her opponents. They quickly scattered and began frantically trying to dodge the lightning. As they started trying to swarm her she touched the hilts together and yelled "lightning strike armour." Everyone who tried to hit her was electrocuted and fell dead at her feet. "Lightning ball" she yelled as two balls of lightning appeared at the tips of her swords. She launched them at the ninja around her. Every time she launched one she formed another and did the same.
As four ninja charged her she stabbed the swords into the ground. "Lightning burial: banquet of lightning" she said. A large trail of lightning shot out and killed all of her attackers. Before she could get cocky 12 ninja jumped around her in a circle. Each sent lightning through their blade so they could pierce her armour. As they lunged she stabbed her swords into the ground and yelled "Lightning release: thunder gate." Two giant electrical charges shot into the sky and a massive lightning bolt hit the ground under her. An electrical current shot out throught the ground and disintegrated the foolish ninja.
She jumped back and cut a mans head off as he lunged at her. As the clone disappeared, her eyes widened. "Water style: water breath" the man called out behind her. She quickly touched the tips of her swords together. "Thunder fang technique: thunderbolt" she yelled as another huge lightning bolt hit her. It spread outward to her immediate vicinity and she held it there. As the blast of water hit it, it stopped and the lightning traveled through it. The man let out a choked scream as the lightning went down his throat. He was quickly shocked to death.
As she ran around slaughtering anyone who got in her way she came across a massive group. There must have been 50 of them. She smiled as they ran at her. She touched the swords together and a bolt of lightning hit them. She started to spin and a lightning tornado formed. She then thrust her swords forward and the tornado went out in front of her. It took the form of a dragon and started snatching up the sound ninja. As it slammed itself into the ground it shocked everyone in its path. Kinamora laughed and ran ahead still killing anybody that dared challenge her.
Pein looked back from the top of the balcony of the kage building. Even though he could see his subordinates doing everything they could but it was obvious that they were losing. It was now clear that they were vastly outnumbered to begin with. It was a good thing he had left half the army back at the village because they would have been walking into a slaughterhouse. It looked like he would have to finish this business fast and call a full retreat, or all his troops would surely perish. As he turned back around he signaled Kisame to go in through the roof, and Hanato to go in through the window. Then he and Itachi walked through the door.
As they stepped inside the room just screamed Orochimaru. There were large stone snakes across the back wall as well as several pictures of them on the surrounding ones. Orochimaru sat at the back of the room on a throne, with Kabuto standing next to him. "So you made it did you, excellent" he said. "What is the meaning of this Orochimaru" Pein said. "You and your little organization have made some powerful enemies" he said with a laugh, "quite powerful indeed. Their leader came here and informed me of your war. She asked if I wanted in on the action. Of course I wasn't foolish enough to go up against the akatsuki. I was nowhere near strong enough to even consider the offer. But she was very persuasive. She said I don't need to do anything but be a thorn in your side. And with the power she offered I couldn't refuse."
"Power, what power" Pein asked. Orochimaru smiled. "Well seeing as I mastered the same jutsu I made a few changes. I'm sure I gave myself quite a bit more power than she would have liked, but at this point I'd love to see her come and take it away. Ahh but I digress, she gave a quite wonderful power. It was stronger than I could have imagined before I tampered with it. This should look very familiar to you." As he finished a curse mark in the form of a black X spread across his shoulder and over his face. As he did this Peins eyes widened slightly as his power grew enormously. Pein would go so far as to say it almost matched his own. Almost being a key word here.
"At this point I dare say I have full right to be in this war" Orochimaru said "but do not worry Pein. You are not the one I wish to test this power on." He looked over to Itachi. "The Uchiha I cannot say the same from. It's been too long dear Itachi" he continued. Itachi's tsukuyomi flowed slowly across his eye. Pein looked at him for a moment and Itachi nodded at him. "Hmmm" Orochimaru said "what happened to you Itachi, as your chakra goes up, so does another. Its very strange." "That's not the issue at hand" Itachi replied cooly. Orochimaru smiled at him. "I suppose you are right" he said.
His bottom half morphed into that of a snake and he darted across the room. Snakes shot out of his arms and coiled around Itachi. Wasting no time he activated his bakuyomi. The snakes began to squeeze him. He dispersed into a flock of crows and his head reappeared above Orochimaru. "Amatarasu" he said as the black flames burst across Orochimaru's back. He burst into a pile of snakes which slithered away. They began to form back together a few yards away. They formed a massive snake which slithered towards the reforming Itachi. "Fire style: dragon flame jutsu" Itachi shouted as the snake loomed closer. The serpent pushed it's head into the ground and began to disappear. It's head resurfaced right behind the fire bomb that had just shot by. As the snake came up it formed back into Orochimaru. Itachi appeared in front of him and grabbed his shoulder. He jumped over Orochimaru and snatched him forward from behind, throwing him over his hip. Orochimaru's spine bent to a sickening angle and he land on his feet.
He threw a punch at Itachi who easily blocked it. They traded blows for a moment before Orochimaru slightly overpowered him. He jumped out the way as Orochimaru started to take control of the battle. "Trakuyomi" Itachi said. He landed across the room and stopped. He fell to his knees gasping in pain. Peins eyes widened and he ran to Itachis side. Itachi's chakra dropped like a rock and the other grew to immense proportions. Itachi's hekuyomi formed on his eye before it went pure white. A small black beam shot out of it and hit the wall.
There was a puff of smoke and the lights in the room flickered before a familial laugh echoed across the room. As the smoke began to clear, standing on the wall across the room from Itachi stood Madara Uchiha. He smiled with his eyes closed. "Itachi, you served your purpose well" he said as he opened his eyes.
