(LAST TIME)

Stark stood in the entrance to the cave with his hands in his pockets and a bored look upon his face.

"I'm not interrupting anything am I? That would be such a drag." His voice echoed throughout the cave making all members of Akatsuki wonder…

"Just who the fuck are you, un!"

X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X

As stark stood in front of the gathered Akatsuki he couldn't help but allow a small smirk to appear on his face. This was one of the few things he felt that he had left undone when he was alive. He wished he could have taken them down so that none of the other Jinchuriki would have to suffer. Well better late than never.

"Lilynette." She looked up to him as she heard her name called. "Get Gaara and leave. I won't need you to finish off these wretches."

Lilynette only nodded and before the Akatsuki members could so much as scoff at such an absurd claim, she disappeared in a Sonido before reappearing beside Gaara and vanishing again. This display of speed left those not accustomed to seeing such high speed movement were left gaping and with their jaws on the floor. How could such a young girl move faster than anything they've ever seen before?

Before they could get their thoughts back together the tall man at the entrance disappeared in much the same manner as the girl before, coming back into view right behind Sasori. With calm, almost uncaringly, a slap the puppet body, Hiruko, was nothing more than splinters. Out from the wreckage sprang a cloaked figure, soon revealed to have red hair and be wearing an Akatsuki cloak. This person was none other than Akasuna no Sasori, his usually emotionless face twisted into an expression of extreme surprise.

As Sasori hit the ground he found that once again, in a blur followed by the sound of static, his opponent was upon him. He rolled to the left to avoid a roundhouse kick. This was soon followed by a backward flip in order to avoid the follow up sweep kick. Escaping quickly, Sasori made room to use his ultimate attack.

"Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets!"

This technique caused a massive amount of puppets to explode into existence. Sasori just seemed to grin as the technique he used to destroy a country was unleashed onto this poor man. He almost pitied the poor man for facing his unstoppable force.

"I will make you into a glorious puppet once you die!" shouted the red head with an insane grin nearly splitting his mechanical face in half.

While the two titans clashed, Deidara was preparing his sneak attack to turn the man into a work of art.

Stark noticed both his adversaries and knew that even though they may be powerful, they were absolutely nothing to him. And so he spoke, "You actually think that either of you have a chance against me?" at this point a slight sigh could be heard, "what a drag. Oh well, your funeral." As the last syllable left his lips an unbearable pressure crashed down on all at the battlefield. "Let me show you." His hand was slowly, almost lazily, lifted up towards his mouth, "This is why I am considered the most powerful being in my previous organization, possibly the entire world at this moment." He bit his thumb, letting a slight trickle of the crimson, life giving liquid run down the digit.

The pressure exploded outward in an impressive display and began weighing down on the Akatsuki so greatly, it felt as if their very souls were being crushed, slowly pushing the life from their bodies. Even those who were not there in person could still feel the soul crushing depth of power being exerted, though not to the extent of the other two. And the pressure seemed only to be increasing with each word he spoke.

Not long after he stopped speaking, the energy felt as if it stopped increasing, if only because he stopped releasing more, and began to spiral around the man. The winds created by the blue whiplash caused his collar to be release, bearing to the world the black hole piercing right through his body in an obviously fatal placement.

This created a near panic to be seen in the eyes of all who saw the man… no. This deity which seemed to be strong enough to level countries with a mere glance.

The swirling Reiatsu soon began to violently condense and form into a glowing navy blue orb which radiated so much power even Pein began to sweat lightly. What type of creature could create massive energy attacks, packed with enough force to level cities, and do it almost effortlessly? In fact, it looked not unlike a blue Bijudama.

Upon that last thought Pein's eyes widened a significant amount. This being was not unlike a bijuu in that it could even possibly be the missing Kyuubi no Yoko. The leader quickly discarded that theory, no bijuu had powers like Starks instant movement nor did they have human forms as far as he knew.

The attack didn't take long to finish, becoming nearly the size of a Rasengan that the Kyuubi Jinchuriki was known to use. As it finished expanding Stark only whispered three words. One phrase that sent shivers down the spines of all Akatsuki members and which made the earth seem to still.

"Gran Rey Cero."

The second the last word was in the air, the attack shattered outward toward the puppet army and Sasori, uprooting stone and causing the very earth to appear hellish in nature. The blast consumed the puppet and puppeteer leaving nothing to be seen before blasting out the back of the cave and into the sky.

X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X

(With the Konoha Ninjas)

The journey after the emissary was uneventful, simply a fast paced run in the direction that Pakkun, Kakashi's summon ninken, smelled the sand from Gaara's armor.

Suddenly the peace was devastated when the same mind shattering pressure was unleashed in the surrounding area, bringing an immediate halt the tree hopping shinobi. The earth stood still, not one living creature daring to even breathe, lest they bring down the wrath of an enraged deity. Then began the shaking, the earth seeming to shiver in fear. Finally, an enormous blue beam of sorts, radiating so much power it could vaporize anything it touched near instantly.

The beam was about 1500 feet across and flew nearly a mile and a half into the sky, before imploding and expanding to a diameter of almost 3000 feet. The sight had the shinobi nearly drooling and cowering in fear, knowing that whatever used such a technique could level mountains and destroy cities in an instant. But what really scared them was the feel of the monstrous attack.

It felt like loneliness. Like pure soul freezing, mind crushing loneliness. The only time any of them had felt anything like this was from the ambassador that tried to talk with Gaara. They all realized one thing, whoever used this had to be neutralized or enslaved by Konoha.

Only a nation such as Konoha disserved this power, and if they didn't have it, they had to MAKE it theirs!

X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X

The devastation that remained from the attack was evident. NOTHING had survived that blast, not the puppets, not the puppeteer, not the cave behind them, not the trees behind them, not even the sky was unscathed having lost all cloud cover in a two mile radius due to the shockwave. Deidara was also not unscathed, having lost from the elbow down on his right arm from the blast.

The rest of the Akatsuki could only stare wide eyed and frightened. Upon inspection of the activator of such a disastrous technique they could find not even an ounce of fatigue aside from a slightly heavier breathing directly afterwards, though that soon passed as well.

Said caster slowly looked over his shoulder directly into the eyes of the holographic leader, "Do you doubt me now?" his voice spoke of such disinterest as if it were an everyday occurrence to see the land leveled and the world shaken.

Deidara was scared, no scratch that, he was ready to shit a brick. He was facing off against a force of nature, for what else could he be to cause such horrendous destruction and simply shrug it off. He NEEDED to leave, it's not like he could win in a fight here anyway, much less now that he lost his arm and didn't know where the jinchuriki was.

"Deidara! Quickly, get the hell out of there! We can't afford to lost another member right now! I am the only person who even has a chance against that thing!" yelled the panicked voice of their Leader-sama.

He quickly obliged, using every last lump of clay he had and fashioning it into his fastest bird. He quickly hopped aboard and soared away, though not without constantly looking over his shoulder fearfully to make sure that that beast didn't give chase.

The only good to come from this fight was, in his eyes, seeing the ultimate art, even more spontaneous and destructive, not to mention fleeting, than his most powerful explosive short of his self-sacrifice attack could ever hope to be.

"hmm, seems like I'm done here" stark was just about to leave the destroyed cavern when the presence of the Konoha group was announced to him by his enhanced senses.

"You! What did you do! I need that power so give it to me!" huh, wonder who said that.

"You? Your useless and you couldn't even use that technique if I told you." Start was really annoyed about meeting the leaf nin already, he could see this was only going to get worse.

"You WILL give it to me! I can destroy you and take it from your body if you doont teach me how to use it!"

"Ma Ma, you must not know who this is. This is Sasuke Uchiha, the most powerful ninja in konoha and heir to the Uchiha clan. Not to mention a demon killer. If a demon couldn't stand up to him, then how could a man like yourself?" Kakashi tried to play the diplomat but it obviously wasn't his forte.

"How could I stand up to him? Why not ask akasuna no Sasori that when you meet him in hell?"

Sasuke, angry as he was, grew more and more enraged, who was this commoner to deny him, the leafs most important shinobi? This rage soon turned to cold fury, so he quickly formed the eleven well known handsigns needed to activate his technique. The sounds of chirping birds was accompanied by the sound of lightning crackling.

As Sasuke finished charging his jutsu he shouted "CHIDORI!" and charged at Stark, who simply stood there, waiting for the attack to reach him. Kakashi turned and began to walk away, knowing that the stranger from Hueco Mundo was about to die.

The sounds of the chidori striking something was heard, before there was a pain filled grunt. The cyclopean jonnin lazily glance over his shoulder, expecting to see his greatest student with his hand through the man's chest but instead found an unexpected sight.

The chidori had struck true, hitting to the left side of the man's chest, but went no further into it, simply stopping on the skin. The stranger had his hand in a fist jammed into Sasuke's gut, who was leaking blood and saliva from his mouth.

"Pathetic. You Konoha Shinobi are sad excuses for ninjas. I shouldn't waste my time with such trash." Not saying anything more, Stark straightened his back and took one step behind him before vanishing in a blur followed by the sound of static.
