Hello again everyone I'm back once again to bring you another chapter of my story; I hope you all keep supporting my work and liking my stories. Now then with nothing else to say lets begin.
Virtue and Venom: Chapter 8
Hidan swung his scythe at Naruto and Asume using the attached cable to extend his reach; Naruto ducked under the scythe while Asuma jumped over it. The 2 continued running to Hidan as he brought his blade back; Naruto took his kunai and got in close.
He drove his kunai into Hidan's chest up to the hilt; Asuma came up next him and stabbed him in the neck and stomach.
"To slow dude" Naruto said pulling his kunai out of Hidan; Hidan then kicked Naruto in the face sending him flying back. Asuma not believing what he was seeing pulled out his trench knives and retreated to where Naruto landed.
"Owww" Naruto groaned as he wiped his bloods nose "what the hell" he said looking at Hidan.
"Man that hurt" Hidan said touching his chest wound and his neck wound "if I was a normal guy I'd be a goner for sure" he said. Naruto and Asuma were bumbfounded at they were seeing.
"Ummm Asuma sensei he's still alive" Naruto said confused "was that like a genjutsu or something" he asked.
"I have no idea kid" Asuma said confused himself.
"You dumbasses" Hidan said using his blood to draw a trigram on the ground "I'm immortal; plain and simple" he said.
"What no way" Naruto said not believing what he was hearing "how the hell are we supposed to kill someone who isn't killable" he said.
"I got a idea" Asuma said going through hand signs "can't walk around as a pile of ashes" he said. "Fire Style: Burning Ash" Asuma then shot out a thick cloud of smoke; when the smoke covered Hidan, Asuma ignited it.
The explosion rocked the bridge; Asuma and Naruto looked to the smoke on guard waiting for something to pop out. Just then a Scythe flew out of the smoke and went in between Naruto and Asuma and stuck into the concrete bridge; Hidan then came running out of the smoke with a happy/crazed look on his face.
"Yes, yes, yes" he shouted "you would be perfect sacrifices to Jashin; come to the slaughter little lambs" she shouted as his scythe came back to him.
"This guy definitely has a screw loose" Naruto said as he got ready.
"You said it" Asuma said readying his trench knives.
With Kakashi and Sasuke
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu" Sasuke shot 5 fire balls at the airborne Deidera who dodged the attacks on his clay bird "damn it" Sasuke cursed. Just the 5 little clay birds came in his direction "fuck" he shouted as he threw shuriken at the birds; he hit 4 but one got close. The explosion knocked Sasuke back but he was able to correct himself and pat out the small burning parts of his shirt.
"Keep on the move Sasuke" Kakashi said while running he then went through hand signs 'Water Style: Water Dragon" Kakashi launched a water dragon at Deidera. Deidera barely dodged as the water dragon was able to twist and turn.
"Feh" Deidera scoffed as he unleashed a flock of chakra clay birds at the water dragon blowing it up; "Damn this job" Deidera shouted. "All this to kill a bridge builder" Deidera shouted "when we get back, I'm complaining to the boss" he shouted as he sent down a clay giant centipede to Kakashi.
Kakashi seeing this knew he couldn't dodge; he took out a kunai and charged it with lightning chakra. Kakashi threw it at the centipede and it hit but did not explode; he then realized that the centipede did not explode.
'Why did I not realize it before; it's a earth style jutsu' Kakashi thought 'I just need to keep on using lightning jutsu to counter act it' he thought. "Sasuke get ready to launch some more fire balls" Kakashi shouted and Sasuke nodded.
'Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu' Sasuke fired another 5 fireballs at Deidera as he flew overhead.
"Damn brat" Deidera shouted as he did some evasive maneuvers; just then his clay bird began to fall "what the hell" he shouted.
"Bullseye" Kakahsi said as he was able to hit the clay bird with a chakra infused senbon he took off of Zabuza's assistant.
Deidera was trying his best to control his bird; he was able to angle it to where he would hit the bridge and not the water down below. Deidera jumped off last minute and landed on the bridge Deidera then dodged a hail of shuriken thrown by Sasuke.
'Crap I don't have enough clay for this; and I can't do an earth shushin on concrete' he thought 'damn it; I'm best suited for open spaces not narrow bridges' he thought as he made several clay bugs and threw them at Sasuke and Kakashi who dodged.
With Naruto and Asuma
Naruto and Asuma were still fighting Hidan; no matter how many wounds they put on him Hidan keeps on fighting.
Naruto jumped away and did a hand sign "Shadow Clone Jutsu" he shouted as 10 clones formed and charged into the fray.
"C'mon you little fucker" Hidan said as he battled the clones "die" he shouted.
Naruto rushed in and slashed Hidan across his stomach, he then spun around and cut his hamstrings; Naruto was about to do strike again but he felt a how stinging sensation in his side.
Hidan took out a hidden spike and stabbed Naruto in a non-fatal spot; Naruto jumped back clutching his wound. Asuma seeing this went after Hidan; Hidan however retreated and jumped to where he made the weird trigram on the ground.
"Oh great lord Jashin" Hidan began to shout as he licked the spike he stabbed Naruto with drinking his blood as he transformed into a skeletal looking figure "may you accept this sacrifice I offer onto you" he said as he stabbed his own leg making Asuma flinch at the self-mutilation.
"Gaaaah" Naruto shouted as he fell to the ground grabbing his leg "oh god it hurts" he shouted.
With Ino and Tazuna
Ino seeing Naruto and Asuma fight the voodoo doll looking man who stabbed himself in the leg; she then heard and saw Naruto fall to the ground clutching his leg.
"What the hell just happened" Tazuna shouted "he was nowhere near the blonde kid" he said.
"But he hurt Naruto but how did- "Ino began to think until it all clicked in her head "oh god" Ino said.
With Naruto and Asuma
"Naruto what's wrong" Asuma said running over and looking at him; he then saw that his leg was bleeding in a similar way as to how that Hidan guy injured himself.
"Now" Hidan said taking out the spike "die in the name of Jashin" he shouted.
Asuma finally realizing what was happening ran at Hidan at full speed 'I'm not going to make it' he thought.
Hidan brought down the spike as fast as he could into his chest; he then stopped after only a inch went in and his body became stiff.
"Ahhh god" Naruto shouted clutching his chest.
'What happened why did he stop' Asuma thought; just then Hidan looked at Asuma with worry on his face.
"Asuma sensei" Hidan said "it's me Ino; I think he is the one hurting Naruto" she said as she slowly began to move out of the circle. Once she was fully out, she spoke "ok hit me in the arm" she said.
Asuma hesitated but took out a shuriken and threw it at 'Hidan's' arm.
"Gah" Ino shouted in Hidan's body "Naruto does your arm hurt" she asked.
"No; only my chest and leg" he said as lied in pain.
"Asuma sensei; I'll exit his body and you kill him" Ino shouted.
"Ok" Asuma said as he charged up his trench knife and ran at Hidan; as he approached Ino left Hidan's body.
"Hey what-" Hidan did not continue as Asuma decapitated Hidan and his head rolled away.
Ino going back to her body got back up and went over to Naruto with Tazuna right next to her "Naruto are you ok" she asked.
"No but I'm alive" he said taking off his head band and tying it around his leg "God that hurt like a motherfu- "Naruto was stopped when Ino kissed him on the lips. When she parted Naruto looked at her "Ino did you just- "Naruto began until Ino slapped him.
"Your asshole don't scare me like that" she shouted "I can't imagine losing you, you dumbass" she shouted.
"I can't tell if you're happy or angry" Naruto said as Ino began to patch up Naruto.
"I'm both and don't talk to me you asshole" Ino said putting sulfur on Naruto's chest wound and bandaging the 1 inch hole in his sternum "but I'm happy you're ok" she said making Naruto even more confused.
Asuma walked over to Hidan's head and picked it up "so much for being immortal" Asuma said grabbing his head by the hair.
"Hey you asshole that hurts put me down" Hidan shouted scaring the hell out of everyone in the area.
"Holy shit" Asuma shouted as he threw the head over the side of the bridge "ok gross and weird" Asuma said. He then saw Hidans Scythe laying on the ground and he went to pick it up 'I'll seal this up; nice little war trophy' Asuma thought as he sealed it into a scroll.
"Hey who's that" Naruto said pointing over the side of the bridge; Tazuna looked down and saw a boat of mercenaries.
"Damn it's Gato; he's brought an army" Tazuna said.
"Ino, Tazuna" Asuma shouted "go back to the village and gather up anyone who can fight; Naruto you good" he said and Naruto nodded.
"I can still fight" Naruto said getting up on his injured leg which was already being healed by the fox "lets go Asuma sensei; good luck Ino" Naruto said as he and Asuma ran off.
"You heard him Tazuna" Ino said "lets go" she said as the 2 began to make their way off the bridge.
With Kakashi and Sasuke
Kakashi was currently in a kunai battle with Deidera as both men were struggling to gain the edge; Deidera was pretty much out of clay except for a handful or so. As Deidera dodged another slash from Kakashi he was hit from the side by a fire ball; Sasuke then rushed in and began to engage Deidera in hand-to-hand combat. Sasuke kicked Deidera away as he went back a couple feet; when Deidera regained his balance he was face to face with Kakashi.
"Raikiri" Kakashi shouted; Kakashi hit deidera in the left side of his chest making him cough up blood. Deidera looked at Kakashi and smiled.
"My heart is on the right side" Deidera said as he kicked Kakashi off of him.
"Well, well, lookie here" Gato said as he and his men walked up on the opposite side of the bridge "looks like you Akatsuki are not all that you are cracked up to be" he said as his men laugh.
Deidera ignored it and reached into his pouch and took out his last piece of clay "Might as well go out with a bang" he said as he swallowed the lump of clay which made both Sasuke and Kakashi flinch. As Naruto and Asuma approached; Kakashi and Sasuke started running towards them.
"Off the bridge" Kakashi shouted; Naruto and Asuma heard it and began to run.
"Ha cowards" Gato said "look at them- "just then a massive explosion erupted originating from Deidera .
"Oh Shit" Asuma shouted "Naruto" he yelled as he grabbed Naruto; Asuma grabbing Naruto jumped over the side of the bridge with Kakashi and Sasuke doing the same on the opposite side. The concussive force blew the 4 Konoha ninja dozens of yards away before they fell into the icy waters below.
With Ino and Tazuna
Ino and Tazuna were arriving back to the bridge when the explosion happened; they had a local militia with them ready to fight. Now they were standing in horror as they looked at the ruined bridge.
"This will set us back another 4 weeks" Tazuna said "where are your 4 friends" he said as he looked around.
"Oh god Naruto, Asuma sensei" Ino said as tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Hey look survivors" a local said.
"And 2 more over here" another said.
Ino hearing this began to cheer up as she ran down to the bank below.
With Sasuke and Kakashi
Both Sasuke and Kakashi crawled out of the water throwing some up; they both then laid down in the mud as they tried to catch their breath.
"I need a vacation" Kakashi said as pulled out shrapnel in his arm; he rolled onto his back and looked over to Sasuke and began to chuckle "hey Sasuke look" he said taking off his head band and putting it in Sasuke's face.
Sasuke looked into it and saw it; his sharingan, he finally activated it. Sasuke chuckled "and all it took was nearly dying" he said making Kakashi chuckle. Sasuke then looked to his side and saw a piece of metal in his right hand "aw hell" he said as he grabbed it and pulled it out "mother of Kami" he shouted. "Good thing I'm a lefty" Sasuke said flexing his hand.
"Hold on I'm coming" Ino shouted as she came up and pulled out her first aid kit "where's Naruto and Asuma sensei" she asked. Sasuke looked around and pointed; on the other side of the bridge Asuma was dragging Naruto ashore.
"Oh, thank kami" Ino said as she began to patch up Sasuke and Kakashi before heading over to Asuma and Naruto.
With Asuma and Naruto
Asuma swam out of the water dragging Naruto ashore; once ashore Asuma threw him down in the mud before falling flat on his face gasping for air.
"Ahhh motherfucker" Naruto shouted as he reached down and touched the rebar that was sticking out of his leg "what is it with me getting hurt in my leg; and the same leg I got stabbed in" he said. "Hey thanks for saving me Asuma sensei" Naruto said; he heard no response.
"Asuma sensei" Naruto repeated; Naruto looked over and saw Asuma lying face down in the mud eyes wide open, blood coming out of his mouth and a small piece of metal sticking out of his back over where his heart should be.
"Asuma Sensei" Naruto shouted as he crawled over; he turned Asuma over and looked and saw that the piece of metal went through his heart killing him.
Naruto seeing this began to cry; he only knew Asuma for a little while but he considered him a great guy. Naruto laid there on the beach crying over the corpse of his friend.
In the trees
A dark and shadowy figure was watching the whole thing "Master Pein isn't going to like this/we should head back and tell him immediately" came 2 voices.
"Deidera and Hidan were fools to get killed/they will be surely missed" the 2 voices said as Zetsu disappeared back into the ground.
