"… So… You're the leader of Akatsuki?" Asked a voice, causing a small group of people to simply stop in place before turning their eyes, which were an amazing shade of purple with multiple rings surrounding a pupil, towards the sound of the voice.
Pain, a man who had orange hair and multiple piercings ridding along his face and most likely his body, narrowed his eyes as he searched through the thick foliage around him and his companions.
It hadn't been long since he had defeated the five tailed beast host, leaving his body in the care of Konan, his childhood friend and ally, before walking towards Takigakure in an attempt to capture the seven tails jinchuuriki. However, he had gotten a report that both Hidan and Kakazu may capture her before he arrives.
"You know… You would be a lot more imposing if I hadn't seen the stupid eye already in my life you know…" Spoke the voice once more, causing Pain to narrow his eyes ever so slightly as he continued to search for the voice.
Seeing as how he wasn't getting anywhere, which surprised Pain quite a lot, the orange haired man simply gave a blank stare.
"I have no time for this mortal… Fall before the might of kami… Shinra Tensei!" Spoke the man in a clear voice as he raised his left hand up before snapping his head forward where a sudden force propelled hundreds, if not thousands, of tree's within the area away with a majority of the ground following suit in being flung a few hundred metres away from him and his small group's position.
Giving a blank glance, the man turned on his heel before walking down the ditch he made, not bothering with finding out whether or not the voice was truly gone.
Following the man was five others, all similar in the way that they old had orange hair, except for a single one who was completely bold, along with familiar piercings riding along their forms.
Suddenly. A thud was heard from their original position. Turning around, the small group all narrowed their eyes slightly upon coming against the sight of a tall man standing there with his arms crossed.
The man stood at 5'8 with mid-short spiky black hair that jutted out in every direction along with two single pieces of hair sticking up above the rest, giving an image of something similar to that of horns.
Next came the man's eyes, the two crimson coloured ones that were distinctively similar to that of the sharingan.
But aside from this, the man's face was unrecognisable due to the face mask that covered his lower face.
Going down further, the man wore a long black sleeve shirt with a black anbu styled vest sitting on top along with black, slightly baggy, pants that reached his ankles, which were then also tapped with black medical wrap and neatly tucked into his black shinobi sandals that didn't expose his toes to the world.
Standing on the single piece of earth that hadn't been sent flying, the darkly dressed shinobi gave the small group a small stare as he wrapped his arms in front of his chest.
"… The Shinra Tensei huh? So that jutsu does have a name after all…" Muttered the man softly before tilting his head.
"Leader of Akatsuki! Where is the jinchuuriki of Ko- Gobi? I know that you cannot have already extracted the tailed beast from its jinchuuriki." Spoke the man, causing the orange haired group to simply give a blank stare…
Before the bald headed one shot out a missile directly towards Naruto from his arm, causing the shinobi to simply jump upwards, only to block a massive kick from the main one who seemed to be the leader of the small group.
Turning his head ever so lightly towards the ground, Naruto gave a calculated glance before returning his focus back towards his enemies, who have seemed to all have jumped into the air as they now fell down towards him.
Leading the charge happened to be the bald one, so, using a slight bit of his yang energy. Naruto stopped himself in mid-air, causing the small group to widen their eyes in genuine shock as they sailed past the floating Naruto, who, immediately cut of his yang energy and returned falling.
Watching as the group turned around towards him, Naruto held a single open palmed hand towards them.
"Water style: Water bowl!" Shouted Naruto, watching as how a torrent of water escaped his palm, and rushed towards the descending group below.
However, Naruto could only narrow his eyes as the jutsu seemed to hit an invisible barrier from the leader who was sitting at the back of the descending group.
"Must be the Shinra Tensei again…" Thought Naruto with a glare as he watched the group land on the ground without any strain before quickly creating a small circle around the likely position of his landing.
Seeing this, Naruto grinned beneath his mask before narrowing his expression to that of a serious one.
Spreading his arms wide, Naruto began to glide along the wind, causing the group below to narrow their gaze before the bald headed one's head opened up, showing a metallic sphere within the centre before a laser shot out from his head. Said laser became a small group of bolts before they seemed to instinctively aim towards him.
Twisting and twirling within the air, Naruto watched as bolt after bolt flew by before a sudden force seemed to drag him faster towards the earth than he was falling.
Turning his attention towards the leader of the group, Naruto sent chakra into his left eye, causing the previously red eye to turn into a shade of black-ish red before blood began to pool from said eye.
It should also be told that the area around his eyes gained a black shading similar to that of the yondaime Kazekage.
"Magnet style: Focus point!" Shouted Naruto as he continued to stare for a few moments before sending a pulse of chakra into his back pant pocket, causing a large amount of kunai's and shuriken's to escape from the fuinjutsu seal that they resided within… Before homing in towards the Pain that Naruto focused on.
Said Pain snapped his eyes wide open in absolute shock.
Quickly cancelling the jutsu, Pain thought that he was safe from the hurling weaponry, only to widen his eyes in absolute shock as he watched the kunai and shuriken continue on their path towards him. His other companions showed the exact same shock as they jumped away from their leader's position with the long orange haired one slamming his hand onto the ground in a hurry.
"Summoning jutsu"
In a puff of smoke, the area in front of the leader was soon easily blocked by a massive three headed dog who took all the kunai and shuriken to the side of its body, however, it also took the incoming Naruto who had a wind enhanced katana within his grip.
Pushing through the summoning animal with the katana tip, which then caused the beast to explode in a puff of smoke as he flew through the air towards the orange haired leader.
However, when he made it through the smoke, Naruto widened his eyes as he felt his leg get caught on something. Turning around, Naruto quickly swiped his blade, causing the long pink tongue that had wrapped itself around his leg to quickly get sliced off, sending the green chameleon like summon away.
Only for a larger than average man to appear behind him mid-air and grab onto his frame.
Gritting his teeth, Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly for a few moments before grinning as the man widened his eyes in absolute and total shock.
"Sorry, but I really don't like my chakra stole." Spoke Naruto as he channelled raw fire chakra through his body internally before sending it outwards, enhanced further by a surge of wind chakra blown from his body.
BOOOOOOOOM!
An indistinguishable body slammed against the dirt crater the leader had created when he originally used Shinra Tensei against Naruto.
Skidding along the ground, Naruto narrowed his eyes as he looked around, only to gasp in shock as he felt his throat get grasped from the metallic man appearing from the ground with a rocket enhanced leap.
Getting thrown up into the air, Naruto quickly clenched his right eye shut as he glared with his still bleeding left eye.
"Metal? Guess I got a test subject then!" Shouted Naruto his left eye becoming bloodshot as he focused on the grinning face of the bald man as the two flew higher and higher.
"Magnet style: Scatter!" Cried out Naruto, sending a massive burst of chakra through his eye as he envisioned multiple points within the air around his and the robotic person's body before sending his chakra to those points.
And like the name, all pieces of metal began to fly towards said pockets of chakra…
The metal Pain was in-between over seven of those…
And like that, the man that was once grinning suddenly felt its body rip apart and scatter into different places within the air before falling harmlessly down towards the ground.
Falling down into a free fall once more, Naruto quickly shut his left eye with a grunt as he felt blood fall from his shut lid before falling down his cheek and off his face into the air he was passing by.
As this happened, the black shading around his eye began to disappear before it revealed untouched skin beneath as he fell down towards the earth below.
"Shit." Was the only thought Naruto could have at the moment as he watched four orange bodies moving down below towards his falling form.
Gritting his teeth, Naruto quickly threw out his right arm outwards before channelling chakra within it…
And what appeared with a massive white bladed shuriken with a blue core, spinning in random directions as it roared louder than the whipping wind around Naruto's form.
Holding the destructive jutsu outwards, Naruto gave the ground a glare before corking his arm back.
"Futon: Rasenshuriken!" Shouted Naruto as he threw his arm forwards, sending the maelstrom of chakra towards the earth where the pains down below, causing them to scatter as they watched the white and blue technique soon collide with the ground below… Before it exploded into a massive storm of white as the technique turned into a dome of pure wind slicing up any and everything it could.
When the technique finally died down, there was nothing but a perfectly cut dome within the ground where the technique had landed.
Pain during the battle could only give a narrowed glare towards the still falling ninja, his mind soon began to review over everything he had seen.
Floating, Magnet release, Fire release, Wind release, Skill in both fuinjutsu and Kenjutsu, being able to block his chakra absorbing technique along with a massive amount of chakra, which STILL escaped his eyes!
But not only that, the recent technique was called Futon Rasenshuriken. Meaning that the orb within the centre was the rasengan. A technique only a few could use… All of which was from konoha…
And he was certain that none of them had taught a random shinobi the technique.
Although… There was an instance he remembered reading with his rinnegan before…
Ah… He remembers now…
Watching as how the black themed ninja landed against the floor with a silent thud, suprising Pain as he couldn't even hear the landing of the ninja, the leader of the small group gave the black themed ninja in front of him a blank stare as he was flanked by his other paths, one of which was holding onto the separate body parts of the robotic one.
The charred one was nothing but ash now with no possible way of returning.
Holding a single hand out towards the slightly huffing Naruto, the Pain gave the teen a bored stare.
"I know who you are mortal… You are the one who I had previously read about within a bingo book one of my members had gained… Shinobi of konoha, name: Naruto. No standing last name… If I am corrected… It was believed that you died with my spy confirming that titbit of information out of his own amusement." Spoke the man, causing Naruto to simply pull down his facemask slightly before spitting out some blood that filled inside of his mouth as he was healing his crushed throat previously.
Still holding onto his left eye, Naruto gave the man a bloody grin as he bore his crimson right eye at the man's purple ones.
"Well, it's as how you would say, news of my death was gravely exaggerated within the factions if you wish… On a serious matter… Why would the leader of Akatsuki remember the name of a lone genin?" Asked Naruto, attempting to buy time for his body to refill his spiritual energy so that he could begin healing his eye. He had been running low on his separate energies after he had used his Yin-Yang energy pool to create the magnet release chakra nature his body then used… He was kinda stuck with a slower than average healing factor.
The man simply continued his stare.
"The eyes of kami remember everything they see. You are nothing of importance mortal. All you are is an irritation that I should finish off right now… But I have more important matters to deal with." Spoke the man before giving the teen another blank look…
Before suddenly shooting a black rod from his hand straight towards Naruto's form, only for him to twist out of the way at the last moment before dashing forwards toward the small group with his katana being picked up from a tree it had wedged itself into when it fell from the sky.
Removing his left hand from his eye, which was now back to its original crimson colour, Naruto sent chakra into his left hand before grinning as he jumped off a fallen log that was laying on the ground.
Watching as the leader stood behind two other orange haired people, with the one holding the robotic pieces running off in some other direction.
Watching as a long haired one jumped up towards him, Naruto quickly spun his katana within his hand into a reverse position before spinning into a front flip, before shoving the katana through the chest of his opponent before using said opponent as a platform to send him over the second man, allowing him to sprint towards the leader.
However, just as Naruto did, the leader gave Naruto a glare before lifting his hand up slightly higher than before.
"Know pain. Shinra Tensei!" Finished the man, watching as how the Naruto in front of him got crushed beneath the pressure of the technique, only to suddenly feel a fist shove itself through his chest.
Glancing down in shock, Pain could only widen his eyes in fear as he watched a black gloved hand and arm appear from just under his chest.
Behind him, Naruto gave a small smirk.
"Well sir. I think I see the problem here! You seem to have an arm shoved through your chest. I should probably move it." Spoke Naruto in a joyful tone as he ripped his arm from the body, watching as it feel to the ground in a thud.
Turning his attention towards the other's, Naruto could only lower his left eyebrow slightly as he looked towards the still orange people who were glaring at him with pure hate.
However, seeing as how they were frozen in place. Naruto simply gave the two a strong stare before holding a rasengan within his right hand before it soon began to turn into a spiralling ball of flames.
Giving a glance towards the body, Naruto tipped his hand slightly, watching as how the ball fell from his hand directly onto the downed leaders back.
Not looking back, Naruto shunshined in front of the two frozen people before slicing them apart with the katana he ripped from one of them.
And like the other body, Naruto made sure they were un-recognisable to anyone as the flaming rasengan swallowed their body's whole and exploded.
However, as Naruto walked away from the wreckage. He suddenly turned his head backwards to the destruction with a narrowed gaze as he looked towards the former leader of Akatsuki staring at him with a single rinnegan eye.
"Naruto… I… Will… KILL YOU!" Screamed the body as a gust of wind strengthened the fire swallowing the man.
When Naruto saw this, he could only shake his head slightly.
"Neat trick with the Shinra Tensei being used to protect you from the flames… But we both know that you ain't walking out from this alive… But… In respect for the battle… My name isn't Naruto… It's Naruto Hayabusa. Maelstrom peregrine falcon if you want… I earned my last name… So long." Spoke Naruto, turning his back on the flaming bodies of the orange group before narrowing his eyes.
"And the seal on the other body should be going off right about… Now." Thought Naruto, feeling a small tingle on his left hand as he felt the seal activate from the robotic man's separate pieces.
Continuing his walk, Naruto slowly began to pull up his face mask before releasing a small sigh.
"Thanks for the information Taruchi. Getting rid of the leader of Akatsuki should make freeing the bijuu or at least giving them some measure of freedom attainable now… Once the rest of Akatsuki is taken care of anyway…" Muttered Naruto as he calmly walked into a forest as he felt his energy return to him.
A squawk was heard from above, alerting Naruto that his thanks was heard before he released a small sigh.
Pulling out a small scroll, Naruto moved a miniscule amount of chakra into it before gaining a grin as he used a finger to write down on the paper.
Once he was done, Naruto closed the scroll for a second before opening it back up, watching as the ink bled into the scroll and disappear. Only for new words to appear in place of his writing.
"You better be back here before tomorrow Naruto. Sasame and I want to host a "returning" party for you."
Reading the note, Naruto grinned.
"YO! KURAMA! WAKE UP YOU BASTARD!" Shouted Naruto mentally, only to gain a headache in return not a few moments later.
"SHUT UP BRAT!" Was the reply Naruto had gained from said fox as it laid on the fluffy pillow as it attempted to sleep.
Snickering slightly at the old fox, Naruto continued on his way.
"Great to have you back Kurama." Thought Naruto, a grin making its way onto his face as he stared towards the direction of Konoha.
When he heard this, Kurama didn't reply. But a small smile was easy to make out from his face as he laid down.
"Great to be back."
(Unknown area)
"… Konan…" Muttered a voice silently as it awaited for a reply.
"… Yes…" Replied the voice, causing the original male one to chuckle slightly.
"… Alert the Akatsuki about an additional target… While you're at it… Place this target within the bingo book as well…" Muttered the man, causing a nod from the other person.
"… Very well…" Replied the woman, gaining an evil grin from the silent man as he kept his head down towards the ground.
"From this very moment… Naruto… Naruto Hayabusa… Is to be brought to me alive… Where I will then show him PAIN!" Shouted the man towards the end, his head snapping upwards as his eyes gained a look of pure hatred within them as he stared up into the darkness.
(With Naruto)
As Naruto continued on his trek home, he couldn't help but shiver slightly as he glanced back towards the foliage he had just left.
"I get the feeling… That I will be pretty popular soon." Muttered Naruto internally as he continued his walk.
However, should he have kept his eyes focused on the foliage behind him. He would have seen a set of purple eyes, gazing at him from behind.
The owner of said eyes gained a small seductive smile on their face.
"…Interesting indeed…"
And there we go, new chapter for you all to enjoy. Well, yeah. See you all later then. Also, before a smart cookie talks to me about why I hadn't made the chakra piercings within the pain bodies go towards the magnetic pulls, it because the chakra metal isn't actually metal, but rather a creation from imagination that was given life… Just accept the excuse ok…
