Kale's POV
With Naruto gone some of us, like Fu, trained to fight with him while others, like me, worked to figure out the puzzle that was Pain.
"The Real One Isn't With Them…" I stared at the paper "I've got nothing…no way it's shadow clones, no one would fight Jiraiya like that…puppets like Kankuro maybe?"
I was snapped out of my thoughts when a siren started blaring.
"The invasion alarm?!" I ran outside and sure enough the village was under attack by creatures of all shapes and sizes.
"No way!" I yelled.
"We're under attack!" someone yelled "Battle Positions Everyone!"
A man ran passed me and was suddenly swept off his feet by a tornado of paper.
What the hell.
A woman appeared out of the paper, she was wearing an Akatsuki jacket, had short blue hair with a paper flower in it and appeared to be older than me.
"Naruto Uzumaki…" she looked at me "Where is he?"
"I'm not telling you." I said reaching back for my Mystic Staff.
"You are the one who took Hidan's Scythe." She said "You killed Kakuzu's hearts. Kale Magonius."
"Nice of you to know my name."
"They mentioned you knew the Seven Tailed Jinchuriki, Fu, where is she?" the woman asked.
"I told you." I glared "I'm not telling!"
The woman spread her hands and let off a blast of paper "Very well…then I, Konan, shall end you."
Fu's POV
"Silver mist Spray!"
I jumped back and spit out a cloud of dust to block the attacking Centipede monster. Explosions were going off as strange beasts rampaged around town, men with orange hair and Akatsuki coats were going through town looking for Naruto and I.
"Where are they, The Nine and Seven Tailed hosts." One of the men asked Iruka, but when he didn't answer "Very Well."
He pulled back to attack but I shot off silk to stop him "I'm right here."
"Seven." The man said.
This must be Pain.
"You attack the village to search for Naruto and Fu." I said "Despicable."
"Fu…"
"Get the injured out of here." I said "This is Fu's problem, she brought this here so she will deal with it."
"Alright…good luck." He said running off with an injured man.
"Why do you fight for this village…unlike the Waterfall." Pain asked.
"Takigakure threw Fu to the wolves." I said "But Konoha…not a single person has told you what you asked for, they all sided with Fu and Naruto…so Fu won't run away, this time I fight!"
I pulled out a kunai and made a quick swipe forward, Pain ducked under it and stabbed at me with a pipe I moved around it and formed a hand sign.
"Bug Transformation Jutsu: Mantis Forearm!"
My arm turned into green sickle before I reached forward to stab at him, his strange eyes glowed and he avoided my attack causing me to stab the wall.
"Seven Tailed Jinchuriki Fu, where is the Nine Tails?" Pain asked.
"Hmph." I stuck my tongue out "Fu's not telling, and unlike the others you can't kill me because you need Fu alive."
"HMM!" he strained his eyes and I was blasted away by the air itself.
"What the!" I grew wings and fluttered back.
He suddenly appeared behind me and kicked me to the ground.
"GAHH!" I yelled when he stomped on my back and grabbed my hair "Where is Naruto Uzumaki."
"I'm not telling you." I glared.
"How about now?" He grabbed my wings and started to pull on them.
"AHHHH!" I cried out in pain "STOP!"
Pain was suddenly blasted off me by a bolt of lightning.
"Fu!"
"Kakashi-Sensei." I smiled "Thank you…how did you know to help?"
"There was already a report that you had engaged Pain, obviously we can't have you fighting someone like this alone."
"Right!" I nodded "Give Fu a hand!"
I ran forward and opened my mouth "Poison Spit!"
I opened a tube in the back of my mouth and shot an acidic blast out but Pain side stepped it.
Perfect!
Kakashi flicked his wrist and sent a dog made of lightning out but when it got close to Pain it vanished.
"It canceled the Ninjutsu?" I said "Not to mention the first one blocked my attack before.'
Another person appeared, he was dressed like Pain, the same cloak, the same black metal piercings…
"Another one." Sensei looked around.
If their eyes are all linked like Grandpa Frog said we'll have to blind one…there's a transformation just for that!
I moved my hands "Stinkbug Smoke Bomb!"
I coughed out a cloud of green rancid green smoke to cover the battlefield and create an opening for Kakashi to attack but even with the cover he missed the larger Pain.
"Jiraiya took on all six at once?" he wondered "Talk about power."
"A testament to his strength." I smiled.
The second Pain spun his head around and pulled off his cloak to reveal three heads, six arms and a jagged tail.
"Ashura." I hummed.
"WAH!" Kakashi-Sensei was suddenly yanked forward.
His power is Gravity manipulation, he can repel and attract things!
"Silk Shooters!"
I held out my hands and used my transformations to shot silk and grab onto Kakashi, while I pulled him with one hand he dropped a double in his place.
"AAH!" he groaned as the tail shot through his chest.
"Kakashi!"
"Lightning Shadow Clone!"
His body burst into electricity and zapped the three headed Pain, while it was stunned Choji and his father appeared and bunch the Pain into the ground, crushing it.
"One down." Kakashi said "Always helps to have a backup plan."
"We still have five to go." I commented.
"HHM!" the First Pain dash right for me and punched through me chest.
"Molting Technique!"
I pulled myself out the back of my body and rolled away in the smoke.
"He had to know I'd do that and weaken myself." I said when I got back to the others "Pain won't kill me as long as the Seven Tails is inside me."
"There's a time before he can use his gravity power." Kakashi-Sensei said.
"We'll have to use that brief moment to strike him down." Choji's dad nodded.
"I've got a plan…I'm counting on you three." Sensei nodded.
"Right!"
We worked out our maneuver and started our assault, Sensei made himself known and got blasted trying to grab Pain but that would open him up for a double Human Boulder that we'd use to bind him with chains.
"He's open!"
I ducked my head "Bug Transformation Jutsu: Hercules Helmet!"
A dome with a beetle horn surrounded my head as I shot forward to impale him, I was sure I'd get him but the second Pain had blocked the attack.
"WHAT?!"
The other Pain broke free and grabbed me before blasting the surrounding area "None of them can move…they will all die because they helped you."
"HELP!" I cried as he dragged me off before crushing the area behind us.
Kale's POV
"RAHH!" I waved five of my staves "Five Layer Seal: Twisting Cyclone!"
I spiral of wind flew towards Konan and blasted her into paper but like every time before she was just reforming.
How can I get around her?
I looked over and saw a paper fall on my arm, suddenly more and more were gathering and binding my hands, preventing me from attack.
"I'll ask again, Where are Fu and Naruto Uzumaki?" Konan asked.
"Drop dead." I smiled "MMHPH!"
My mouth was covered and I felt my eyes getting blurry.
"Goodbye." Konan said.
"Fire Style: Dragon Slave Jutsu!"
A soaring dragon gusted by and burned up Konan's paper.
"Huh?" she gasped backing up to avoid the combustion.
"Buluphont's Aureal Incapacitator!"
Konan was suddenly knocked back by a powerful blast of sound.
"And Tarak's Descent of Fire!"
A flaming meteor fell from the sky and crashed into Konan, she quickly jumped from the fire before a beam fell from the sky.
"Fire Style: Light Strike Array!"
"AHHH!" Konan was suddenly burned up as a beam of sunlight struck her.
"Are you alright Kale?" Dad asked floating over.
"Yeah, thanks Mom, Dad." I nodded.
"It's been a long time since I've had a fight like this." Mom float on hot air as little wisps of fire surrounded her body.
"Hmm…" Konan looked at us as her body fixed itself with paper.
"Mom, Dad…you ready?" I asked.
"This woman goes no farther." Mom said.
"She may know the secret of Pain." Dad said "We need to capture her."
I pulled my staves off my back and let them float around me "Then let's get her talking!"
Deidara's POV
"What are you watching me for Mhm?" I asked the guard.
"You're a member of Akatsuki, with the village under attack we have to keep you contained." The guard, a boy with dead eyes and black hair said.
"Huh…" I nodded "Alright."
The door to the jail blew open and Pain walked in.
"Deidara…" he looked at me "You've been talking."
"Maybe~" he smirked "What'ch gonna do about it Mhm?"
"I'm going to make sure you stay quiet."
The guard boy started drawing a picture to attack but was quickly knocked away by Pain.
"Hey." I looked at the kid "Let me out."
"I can't."
"If you let me out I'll save your life." I said "You heard him, he's gonna kill me, at least let me fight back…and when we're done I'll be a good boy and go back in my cell."
"No." the boy said.
He was suddenly kicked across the room, I quickly grabbed a kunai that had been dislodged and jammed it into the lock on my cell, breaking out during the commotion, it didn't take me long to get to the confiscation area and find my clay.
"Deidara…" Pain walked in.
I stuck my hands into my bags.
"I had a feeling you'd betray us someday." Pain said "Still it's a shame to lose a talented ninja like you."
"Sitting in that cell I realized something." I told him "Master always said that I was a screw-up…he was right"
I smirked at my former ally "I think it's time I do something productive with my art."
