Kale's POV

"What are you doing?" Fu asked as I sat at a table reading.

"Studying my Akatsuki notes." I said "I had to add in what we learned about Kakuzu and Hidan. How goes your confinement?"

"Okay." She blinked "People have been coming to visit Fu so she doesn't get bored…Fu is embarrassed she was worried everyone would hate her but no one even cares…she's sorry she got upset with you."

"It's fine, but now I'll feel safer knowing others are looking out for you." I smiled "Now I gotta run, Sensei told me to meet him at the gate around now, I'll see you soon Fu."

"Good bye!" she smiled "Fu will be waiting for you to come back!"

"Fu when I get back let's go get dinner or something yeah?" I asked "Like a…date."

Fu blushed "Oh…okay."

"Cool."

After they almost took her…I can't wait I have to tell her how I feel.

I headed through town and found Kakashi-Sensei. He told me the two of us would be handling something why Naruto worked on his training.

"Team 10 is trying to go after The Akatsuki on their own." Sensei said "We're not gonna let them."

"Sounds like a plan.

We headed to the front gate and when we got there Lady Tsunade was scolding Ino, Shikamaru and Choji trying to stop them.

"Accept reality, it's just the three of you!" she said.

"Well what if it was Five?" Sensei spoke up.

"Kakashi!"

"Two Jounin should be enough to watch a three people." I said walking over to her "Come on old hag, they'll just go anyway, can't you trust me to look after them, you promoted me for a reason, now let me show you…put me in charge."

"Fine…whatever." She groaned.

"Thank you." I smiled "Alright let's go!"

Since I was technically in charge of this mission I dictated all planning factors to Shikamaru. Kakashi-Sensei is technically my superior but he was letting me do the leading here. Even through Kakashi-Sensei and I had just joined them Shikamaru had already fit us into his plan. I was a little aggravated that Shikamaru had decided to start smoking…what a bad habit.

"I found them." Ino said returning her spirit to her body "If we go to 2 o'clock we'll hit them in about ten minutes."

"Good…" Sensei nodded.

"Come on let's go." I said pulling my strap to make sure my staves were tied down.

We all moved out into the forest of dead trees. I had everyone get into the positions Shikamaru had planned and then gave the signal. We used Shikamaru's shadow possession to quickly get Hidan and Kakuzu on the back foot before we beat them back with kunai and exploding tags. They avoided most of the tags but we used a trap designed by Shikamaru to catch their shadows with blades.

Alright step one is complete…now for the big show.

I thought we had them when Shikamaru moved Hidan to attack Kakuzu but somehow the man dodged. The masked members hand rose from the earth and removed the blade holding him down. Even with Kakuzu free we were able to use Hidan as our puppet to attack with, we had him get Kakuzu into the position we needed and I gave Choji the nod to attack.

"Spiky Human Boulder!"

Choji hit the ground but when he sprung back Kakuzu was fine. I realized that his body had the ability to get harder than steel, so attacking him wouldn't be easy.

It's probably Earth Style Jutsu.

"No physical attack will work on me." Kakuzu gloated before a hand shot through his chest "GURK!"

"Lightning Blade!"

Sensei's hand had ripped a hole through Kakuzu chest.

"WAHHH!" Hidan yelled "No way!"

Ino and I held back while Kakashi explained that he knew Kakuzu used Earth Style to harden his body and since Lightning beats Earth his attacks were perfect to take him out in a surprise attack.

"One thrust to the heart." Hidan shook his head "Don't be getting killed so easy."

"Didn't we tell you that you talk too much?" I said filling my hand with chakra "You're up next Hidan!"

I focused the chakra to one point on my right index finger "Four Layer Seal: Finger of Death!"

Before I had the chance to blast the immortal Kakuzu came up and kicked me away.

How, there's no way Sensei missed.

"Let's end this!" Hidan yelled.

"That's the idea." Kakuzu growled taking his cloak off.

Kakuzu's body was covered in stiches and had four strange masks on his back. The mask gurgled and flew off his back before turning into four hairy beasts with the masks where faces would be, one for the beasts formed and them instantly melted.

"Watch me Lord Jashin!" Hidan yelled "I'm going to splatter these heathen all over the dirt!"

"Be careful." Shikamaru said as his shadow ran out of time.

"Hidan step back." Kakuzu said "I'm taking care of this."

"I'm pissed. Hidan glared "Let's do this the old fashioned way!"

Hidan ignored everyeone else and came right at me, swinging his scythe.

One hit and I'm finished.

I kept stepping back and avoiding him, but I noticed one of the hair monsters was next to me.

"Wind Style: Pressure Blast!"

I quickly moved my hands "Phase shift!"

The wind blast passed through me and the beasts turned their attention to Shikamaru and Choji, trying to blast them with lightning, luckily Sensei stepped in front and blocked the blasts with his lightning hands.

Earth Wind and Lightning?

Hidan realized I hadn't been killed in the wind blast and came back swinging, I managed to flip back and pulled out a staff "Water Style: Gush!"

I blasted him with water and got to safety by the others.

"Are you guys okay?" Ino asked.

"Yeah…somehow." Sensei told her.

"I'm clean too." I said checking for cuts.

"To think we couldn't kill you with that maneuver." Hidan sighed.

"Let's just end this." Kakuzu instructed and looked to the one beast "Fire Style: Searing Migraine!"

"Fire, Earth, Lightning and Wind?" I wonder "He can use four elements? That's not possible only my clan can do that!"
