"At any given moment you have the power to say this is NOT how the story is going to end."-Unknown.
Here's a little Riddle- The more You have of it the less you see it. What is it?. See bottom to figure out ;)
"Dattoboy!" Naruto yelled at Kisame while he swung his large shark sword at him. He jumped out of the way and launched three kunai at the large blue man.
Madara watched amused while Itachi appeared beside him. The two sat there and waited. Sasuke kept his eyes on both of the men. Why wouldn't they be fighting there was enough ninja to go around, it's like there waiting for someone or something.
Sasuke decided he should wait for them to move and get an opening before he attacks. He stepped out of there normal vision and waited. He watched Naruto dodge Kisame's sword and well aimed Kicks. He watched Lee and Neji go head to head with Deidara while Tenten threw weapons at Kisame and Deidara. Kakashi was aiming fireballs at Konan and Gai was trying to get a kick landed on the woman.
Sai was scribbling away and sending ink animals to help cover his friends mistakes or weak spots, and every now and then attempting to attack the enemy. Hinata was staying near Naruto and trying to help him, and distract Kisame. Kiba and Akamaru we're running after Deidara while Shino sent bugs after the flying bomb user.
Shikamaru was laying against a tree and watching the fight, plotting strategies, while Ino sat uselessly beside him. Chouji kept super sizing and trying to grab Madara or Itachi, every time he missed he knocked a tree over or split it in half. Sasuke dodged a very large tree branch that was coming his way, Chouji really needs to learn how to control his abilities!
Sasuke rolled away from the damage and searched for the two Uchiha's. After a few moments of searching he didn't spot his targets and resumed watching the fight. He spotted his team. They were dodging tree limbs and shielding themselves. Suigutsu was carefully approaching Kisame from behind his sword at ready.
Suigutsu had always dreamed of taking down Kisame, that's some of the reason he wanted to follow Sasuke. He would have the opportunity to fight Kisame and gain another one of the seven swords.
He saw the blond haired boy ...Sam, standing off in the trees looking terrified. His knuckles were white from gripping his kunai so hard. His teeth ground and chattered together, nervously.
Konoha ninja looked like they were pulling ahead in the fights, Kisame was injured with a nasty stomach gash and a dislocated shoulder. Itachi and Madara still dodged all of Chouji's messy attacks, but looked a little winded. Konan had a long burn in her paper leg, and was missing some of her paper on her left arm, making her unbalanced.
Konoha was pulling ahead before all five of the Akatsuki members jumped back and started doing a flurry of hand signs. Sasuke and Kakashi were reading each sign trying to distinguish the jutsu when Naruto screamed out in pain and fell to the ground on his knees.
Ino fell next and clutched her head. The jutsu the five Akatsuki members jutsu were bringing them down. one by one each Konoha ninja and team Hebi fell to the ground. Sasuke was the last standing, he swayed on his feet while clutching his head, he let out a small groan and tumbled to the ground his elbows and knees hitting the soft grass.
"Your in a very powerful Genjutsu." Itachi directly spoke to them for the first time.
"AAAHHH!" Naruto screamed and rolled on the ground his hands never leaving his head.
"Thousands of needles piercing your memories, thoughts, brain." Konan said with a sick smile.
Sasuke's head spun and he made his eyes fly open, the pain was awful. His own memories the little good ones he had left were being shredded and his brain had needles piercing it, he watched in horror and pain.
"Shame. I thought you might put up more of a fight than that." Kisame said with a smirk.
"Expecially you... Kyuubi. You were suppose to be confident and strong, you turned out like the rest... Weak and pathetic." Konan said her harsh words with venom.
"Where's the girl." Madara demanded.
"W-W...ouldn't... Yo..u.. Like... To kno...w..." Naruto bit out while his eyes turned red and one tail started to sprout. A dark red Chakra engulfed his body making him look demonic.
"Huh. Is this what you have to rely on... The Demons power? Kid you truly are Pathetic." Deidara said with a frown while he readied his bombs.
"H-He's not Pathetic! YOU ARE!" Sam yelled while he launched a kunai at each member.
"Cute." Konan teased while she caught her Kunai. Itachi frowned and Madara laughed, Deidara just stepped back to avoid the sharp edge of the metallic weapon, Kisame moved his large sword in front of his body.
"Did you really think that would work on us?" Kisame asked annoyed.
"No." Sam answered honestly his voice holding uneasiness and worry, that was his last hope. He was as good as dead.
Kisame stepped forward. "Your precious Sakura-chan lied too you. She said she'd protect you, I don't see her anywhere... Her Chakra isn't even inside the pathetic village walls." He said dryly with amusement.
"She failed all of you. Betrayed you. Deceived you." Kisame continued while Naruto rolled in the red chakra trying to fight off the nagging urges to change into a demon, the two older Sharingan users were trying to bring his demon out.
"S-She promised." Sam said in a whisper, showing how broken he felt.
"SHE PROMISED!" Sam yelled while tears stringed his eyes.
Kisame readied his sword to beat Sam with, he was three feet away from the trembling boy when all five of the Kunai popped, and standing in front and between Itachi and Kisame was the famous Blossom.
Her eyes were closed, her arm flew out the second she appeared. At first it looked like she just put stretched her arm, but with a closer look and the reaction from the Akatsuki Members; You could see Chakra circulating around her arm and stretching out to reach all five of the members to her left.
She flicker her arm back slightly and a huge amount of Chakra flew from her arm and propelled all of the Akatsuki back, with great force. Kisame flew back first and farthest, since he was closer; he broke threw a tree and rolled a few times before realizing what happened. All of the Members were a clearing away and were slowly getting to their feet.
Sakura's back and bright pink hair was to the enemy, she slowly opened her eyes and looked determinedly into Sam's. Her fierce gaze flicked over her fallen Shinobi, and she spoke emotionlessly to Sam.
"Sam. Are you okay?" She asked small sincerity laced in her quiet voice.
"Yeah." He said shakily.
"Good, now I have a request for you. Take care of my friends and keep your bijou under control. Tell Naruto to do the same." Sakura said with a soft smile at the shocked kid.
He nodded and headed over to Naruto and the Konoha ninja while Sakura turned her attention to the five awaiting and annoyed enemy's. She gave a sickly sweet false smile and pushed her long hair out of her face. Her red nails glistened in the sun and stood out while she moved them threw her hair.
"Let's begin... Shall we?" The rosette offered teasingly.
"Why don't you and the two Bijuu just come with us quietly." Konan asked her golden eyes burning with hatred towards the pink haired girl. It was known that Konan resented if not hated Sakura. Sakura currently held the attention of the man Konan loved, it was natural to hate her.
"Why we're YOU even sent to obtain me? You hate me, you should want to kill me not take me back to a stupid base. Do you really want to see the man you love be married?" Sakura asked in a snobbish voice, while pointing out every insecurity Konan held. Her voice was annoyed. (Its hard to describe but if you know Elena Gilbert from the Vampire Diaries TV show her badass vampire non-caring voice!)
"I don't love him." Konan seethed.
"Don't you?" Sakura asked while placing a hand on her hip.
"You betrayed your own village to join him, your currently his 'Angel'. Tell me... Is it a fear of yours that you'll be replaced by me, someone stronger than you and smarter. He's obsessed with me we both know that; but does he even notice you?" Sakura questioned with a small grin etched in her angelic features.
"Why you little bitch!" Konan screeched and lunged forward before any of the boys could stop her from falling into Sakura's awaiting traps.
Sakura disappeared and a hole was left in the ground. Konan ignored the men's protests and jumped down the hole, Itachi's outstretched hand barley missed her and swooshed past her falling cloak. He cursed as the hole closed and the two girls ran around underground.
Konan had no Sight in the darkness, while Sakura created the tunnels and knew her way around. Sakura ran down the hallways, her high heels tapping with each step. She smiled to herself and materialized into the dirt wall to her left. This was a special Genjutsu she had created for herself, Konan wouldn't know what hit her.
Konan cursed and ran down the small dirt hallways, when she looked at the receding foot prints she frowned. In seconds she was painfully kicked upwards. The kick was so strong and Chakra enhanced that she broke threw the earths crust and flew upward ten feet. She twirled in the air to hopefully land on her feet when large fireballs were shot at her.
The fireballs only got larger and larger as they came at the blue haired woman. She watched and hissed in horror as the fire made contact with her skin, two shuriken hit her arms and popped.
What on ear... Konan's thoughts were abruptly stopped as her question was answered. The shuriken left oil behind on her skin, she flayed in the air and tried to cease the oncoming flames. But to no avail... She was soon burning on the ground. The flames slowly died and her brittle body was left wincing on the ground she would slowly heal herself paper by paper, she was no longer able to fight or heal the other members.
She had been foolish to think that she could have taken the Kunoichi on all by herself. She had let her anger affect her and it had been her down fall, the only thing that didn't make sense to her is why the girl didn't kill her, she only used a pesky genin level jutsu to bring her down; was it some 'I'm better than you' pride thing?
Konan's thoughts flickered out when she lost conscious. Her body could no longer focus while it healed itself so she gave in and let the dark world claim her, she would hopefully open her eyes and be back in the dark tunnels of one of the Akatsuki hide outs. But she was left with one thing... Hope.
Sakura had just finished shooting the small fire balls at the female of the group. She watched the girl fall, she wasn't dead but she was no longer able to fight or help her 'comrades.' she jumped up and out of the large hole Konan's body had created, she extinguished the flames that had been eating at the older womans body, she pitted the woman.
If Sakura had been alone all her life and finally made friends she would have stuck with them to, after all friends can be convincing. The woman was blind to the fact that people change, Uchiha Sasuke was proof enough the people change. Maybe She could help Konan. That wasn't her focus now...
Sakura turned her attention the the four boys; the Two Uchiha had emotionless masks over their faces. One literally had a mask on his face. Kisame and Deidara didn't hide their emotions as well, they looked a little peeved about their females down fall. Her gaze shifted over the groups Chakra levels.
Hers were relatively high; it didn't take much to defeat Konan. Itachi and Madara Uchiha would take almost all of her Chakra and focus to defeat them. Deidara and Kisame were skilled but had emotions she could play off of... She hoped she could get a uprise out of them. She targeted Deidara first.
She turned all of her undivided attention to Deidara. She gave a sickly sweet smile, all with flashing her sexy white teeth, her pink hair blew around her body. She waited for Deidara to make the first move when he didn't she dropped the smile and frowned she teasingly probed him.
"You know it's not nice to make the Lady make the first move... There wouldn't be a second date if a guy did that to me." She taunted with double meanings, she probed at Deidara's obsession for her while flirtatiously messing with him.
He frowned and rushed forward when she didn't move away from his three foot away attack he halted and skidded to a stop. She smiled at him and mockingly said "I'm not afraid of you... Because you could never hurt the one you love." She used his weakness against him.
She was so confidate that he would not hurt her that she took a kunai and stabbed her own leg, as predicted Deidara ran forward and pulled the Kunai out, in seconds the clone popped and he was covered in water.
He looked surprised and in an instinct she appeared behind him and with all the force she could muster without using chakra, she kicked him straight in the back and happened to tap two vital points and paralyze him from the waist down, and knock him unconscious from the sensitive spot on the neck.
"Two down. Three to go!" Sakura said as Deidara crashed threw a tree.
"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."
