Chapter XLIX: The Zombi Combo Ends.

When People Are Protecting Something Truly Special, They Become As Strong As They Can Be.

Tensions between Villages! The Raikage and his team have come to Konoha to get Yugito Nii, the Jinchūriki of Nibi that Naruto saved from the Akatsuki. They believe that Konoha was kidnapping Yugito to bolster their power and steal one of their strongest Kunoichis….

Konoha Hokage Tower.

Tsunade was stamping papers before Shizune walked in and closed the door behind her. "Milady."

Looking up, Tsunade stopped her paperwork. "Yes, Shizune."

"The Raikage is here."

Tsunade sighed at that before standing as the doors opened again showing Ay and his group. "I can guess why you're here-!"

"Cut the shit Tsunade, I know you took Yugito."

"We did no such thing!" Tsunade bit back slamming her hands on her desk. "My ninja found her after a fight with Akatsuki. If it wasn't for him, you would have lost her!"

Hospital.

Naruto walked down the hall before bumping into Hinata. "Oh hey, Hinata."

She smiled as she leaned up to kiss him. "Hello, Naruto… Why are you here?"

"… Guarding one of the patients… They… Got injured nearby and Tsunade wanted security just in case they or one of our ninjas tried anything."

"Oh, let's go see them then." She said turning and started walking, having Naruto blink.

"Uh…" He ran up to her and grabbed her left arm. "Let's not… Tsunade wants no visitors until she gets a hold of the leader."

"Who is the leader?" Hinata asked, crossing her arms under her bust, pushing them up, and having her nipples shown more.

"Not at liberty to say," Naruto replied as he smiled nervously before Hinata narrowed her eyes. "Seriously! Tsunade said I can't say!"

"… Right…" She said as she walked past him, having Naruto follow.

Looking up to a mirror at the end, his eyes widened when he saw Tsunade with the Raikage before grabbing the Hyūga by the waist. "Uh, look to make it up to ya, take a clone into the closet here."

Creating a clone, he pushed his girlfriend inside before the clone walked in. She tried to walk out, only to gasp as the clone groped her tits from behind and pulled her back before closing the door. Naruto then ran down the hall and up to the group. "Hey, Tsunade, here for our… Guest?" He asked before seeing Ay narrow his eyes.

"Minato?"

"No… My dad's dead." Naruto replied as he glanced at the others before hearing Kurama.

"If it wasn't for your Hyūga girlfriend and the silver-haired one, I would say big tits really are a blonde thing." Naruto mentally sighed as he glanced down at the two large sets of breasts and silently agreed with his tenet. "I heard that."

'Damn it!' He mentally cursed before hearing a cough, having him turn to Tsunade who cleared her throat, having her breasts jiggle. "Sorry, talking to the mangy mutt."

"Fuck you!"

"He's cranky from not having his month-long nap." Naruto finished before glancing at the others. "Yugito's fine, she's down this way."

They all walked down the hall and past the closet door before Hinata's hand came up on the window for a moment before sliding down.

Up ahead, the group walked into Yugito's room where the Kunoichi was lying on a hospital bed in a hospital gown. "Yugito, are you OK?" Karui asked, pushing past Naruto who sighed.

"I'm OK, Karui… I just had a tough time with members of the Akatsuki."

"If it wasn't for my shinobi she wouldn't be here," Tsunade spoke, crossing her arms under her bust.

"It's true…" Yugito spoke up at that, as she looked down at her lap. "I used Nibi's chakra in my strongest mode but I still couldn't beat them."

"Don't worry, she thanked me." Naruto rubbed his jaw at that. "I'm still feeling it."

"And how the hell did you beat them?" Ay asked Naruto who glanced at him.

"I didn't... I pushed them away before grabbing her and leaving." The blonde replied. "They were trying to get her chakra so I attacked them from behind and then grabbed Yugito."

"I have trouble believing that you did that," Karui stated, crossing her arms.

"I couldn't care less." Naruto deadpanned. "That's what happened."

"But she's a Jinchūriki!"

"As am I," Naruto stated as BD looked over his shoulder startling the group.

"Bullshit!" Karui pointed at the blonde. "Your Jinchūriki's a teen. You're like 20."

"Yeah, I am the Jinchūriki." Naruto then had red chakra cover him for a moment. "Let's just say, you're intel's outta date."

Training Field.

Naruto in his jacket with it unzipped showing a red shirt, black pants, and brown boots stood opposite Kakashi in a field as the wind blew.

"OK, any reason we're here?" Naruto asked as BD popped over his shoulder.

"(Trills!)"

"To create an ultimate Ninjutsu for you." The Jōnin replied hands in his pockets. "One that is uniquely your own."

Naruto raised an eyebrow at that. "Doesn't the Force count for that?"

"That's more of a bloodline as you're the only one capable of doing it. This will be a jutsu that goes beyond the Rasengan. (Spiraling Sphere.) To do that, you'll need to master two techniques. How to change your chakra's nature and how to change its form."

"OK." Naruto shrugged at that. "Where do we start?"

"First, show me your Rasengan. (Spiraling Sphere.)" Kakashi ordered as Naruto held out his hand and had the Rasengan appear. "OK, you have the first part down. Changing your chakra's form." Naruto had his Rasengan disperse. "OK, now the chakra nature. Take the Chidori (One Thousand Birds) for example."

Going through several hand signs, Kakashi then held up his right hand while his left rested on the elbow. "This is a jutsu that requires both a change in the chakra form and a change in its nature simultaneously. Watch carefully. First: I concentrate the chakra in my right hand." Naruto saw a chakra form in his hand similar to a ball of flame. "Then I change the nature of it so it's like an electrical current." Electricity formed around it.

"Oh, that's adding your element to it, right?"

"Yes, now I change its form so it'll discharge at whatever range and power level I want it to."

Naruto heard chirping before seeing electricity form around Kakashi and on the ground. BD jumped off and scanned Kakashi before running back as electricity covered the hand. Naruto winced as a phantom pain went through his chest. "That's the secret. We're going to do this to your Rasengan. Make a more powerful version by changing the form and nature."

"OK, I remember reading that right before going to the other dimension." Naruto mused, bringing a hand to his chin.

Kakashi dispersed the jutsu before looking over. "Do you know your chakra nature?"

"Nope. Never found that thing you needed and it was when Shikamaru got me for the retrieval mission. I know there are five of them and that each nation is named after the element that is the most popular one. Like ours is fire, and Suna's wind."

Kakashi reached into his pouch and pulled out a small stack of paper. He then grabbed one in his other hand and held it up. "We'll find out using these." He glanced at the paper before it crinkled up. "If you have lightning, like me, the paper will wrinkle, earth, it'll crumble away. Water, it'll get wet. Fire, it'll burn up. And wind, it'll be sliced in half." He then held the stack out to Naruto before continuing.

"This is Litmus Paper. It's made from a special type of tree that is grown and fed with chakra. When it's exposed to even the slightest hint of chakra, it reacts according to the chakra's latent element." BD looked over Naruto's shoulder and scanned the paper as Naruto grabbed it. "Let's find out what nature you are."

"Alright!" Naruto added chakra to it before it was sliced in half.

"Well… Your chakra nature is wind! That is perfect for battle. Now, you gotta properly use and control it. Now, it usually takes a while to train, but I think I figured out a way to cut time."

"Cool," Naruto said before Yamato dropped down beside them. "Huh, Yamato? What are you doing here?"

"Kakashi thought my expertise would be of use. So he asked me to help with your training. I hope I'm not interrupting anything."

"Not at all. I was just explaining that Naruto could use clones to train with."

"Oh, that's right," Naruto said looking over. "I forgot that those clones could do that."

"Forget?" Kakashi blinked at that as Naruto shrugged.

"Yeah. Going almost 10 years without using them I forgot what they could do. So how many should be good?"

"Hmm…" Kakashi looked around before pointing to a tree by them. "That many… You need to slice a leaf in half between your palms using only chakra for the next step."

"OK." Naruto nodded before bringing his hands up as BD dropped down. "Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! (Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!)"

Countless Naruto's appeared before they ran over and each grabbed a leaf before they started to add chakra to their hands.

Later, all the Naruto's are trying to cut the leaves as Yamato was sitting in a circle of poles to take care of any Kyūbi chakra going haywire. After dispelling some clones, the real Naruto looked at Kakashi before walking over. "Kakashi… Is there anyone in the village who's a wind user as well?"

"Oh, you want advice? Well, there's one person I can think of. Knowing him, he's playing shōgi right now."

Shikamaru And Asuma.

Shikamaru moved his queen piece by Asuma's king and smiled. "Checkmate. Seems you're paying for our meal after our next mission."

"(Sigh.) Yeah." Asuma sighed as he had a cigarette in his mouth before looking at the board. "I really was surprised they had a game similar to shōgi."

"Hey!"

They turned to see Naruto dropping by the porch. "Do you have a minute? I need to ask you something."

They all went to the back as Naruto explained his training. "You're doing change in chakra nature training?"

"Yep. Just came for tips as I'm a wind nature."

"I never would have pegged you for a wind user." Asuma smiled as Naruto nodded.

"Please, I need your help. I need to master it right away."

Asuma looked off before smiling. "Alright… If you pay for Team Asuma's next BBQ dinner."

"Hey… That's not cool." Shikamaru groaned out.

"Alright." Naruto shrugged at that. "The other dimension uses different currency so I have a bit saved up."

Asuma handed him a trench knife with the blade going over the knuckle in a zig-zag pattern before holding the other up. "These are my chakra blades." He then had chakra cover the blade before continuing. "They're made from a special metal that can absorb chakra nature. Now, try sending your chakra in it."

Naruto did that and grunted at the difficulty before chakra covered the blade with slight bumps on it. "To activate it, imagine your chakra splitting in two, and grinding against each other… Like sharpening a blade between them. Finely and sharply, that's the trick."

"OK…" Naruto tossed the blade back and disappeared.

"So that was a clone the whole time?" Shikamaru asked, walking over.

Training Field.

The clone's eyes widened before they grinned and went back to training. "OK, OK, let's take a break." Kakashi looked up from his book to speak to Naruto.

The clones dispersed as the real Naruto groaned. "Damn, I forgot the fatigue that makes."

An hour later, Naruto makes more clones to go back to training and then is able to slice the leaves in half. Hearing a noise, Naruto saw Yamato create a waterfall hill before making a log bridge near the top. "We'll take another break to get your chakra level back."

Fire Temple.

At the bottom of a mountain, Kakuzu turned on a road holding a map as Hidan walked behind him. "How much farther is this place?"

"We're almost there," Kakuzu replied before Hidan saw him walking up stone stairs.

"You're kidding?! More climbing? There'd better be a Jinchūriki at the end of this. Or I'll get mad! You know what happens when I get-!"

"I don't give a damn what happens," Kakuzu said, not looking up from the map. "And if you don't stop whining like a spoiled brat… I'll kill you."

"Oh come on… What's that about? Are you trying to scare me, or what?" Hidan asked before they walked up the steps. "You're a real anti-social jerk, you know that?"

They walked up the steps and came up to a large temple. "A temple? Really?"

Hidan asked, looking at the entrance to a temple. "You're sure this is the right place?"

"This is no ordinary temple… So the odds are good." Kakuzu walked to the gates and had his arm turn black before punching it down, scaring the monks inside.

They walked inside as they saw one monk walk toward them. He's a bald man with dark eyes and very thick eyebrows. He's wearing the standard attire of a ninja monk along with the sash worn by members of the Twelve Guardian Ninja group and is barefoot.

Chiriku.

"I don't know what your business is here… But keep moving!"

"You won't kill us without a cause, huh?" Hidan brought his scythe off his back. "Charming… However, that's not one of my beliefs." He finished as Kakuzu explained that the monks here all have a unique power and that Chiriku was one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

The two then dashed at the monk who brought his hands up before multiple energy fist-punched them. As Chiriku promises them a funeral, Hidan is outraged at the idea of his funeral rites being presided over by another religion and receives Kakuzu's blessing to kill Chiriku, although he stipulates that Chiriku be recognizable at the end to claim the bounty.

The notion of killing humans for money is found despicable by Hidan, but he nonetheless charges Chiriku with his Triple-Bladed Scythe.

Konoha, Hokage Tower.

"So putting aside any of the variables that might arise, you feel this is the best assessment of the situation?" Tsunade asked, handing a stack of papers to Shizune from her seat.

"Yes."

"Put it on order within two or three days and have it ready for distribution. I'm counting on you."

"Understood Milady."

Shizune then walked out, as Tsunade sighed. 'Sorry to put you through this Shizune… But we can't sit around and do nothing.'

In the training field, multiple shirtless Narutos stood on the log and started adding their chakras to the water. Kakashi looked up and saw a short break in the water before it hit the small pond.

Fire Temple.

Hidan was laying in a circle that resembled his necklace with a spear in his chest before Kakuzu grabbed the now-dead Chiriku. He looked to see all the other monks were also dead before missing one who was hiding before running away to alert Konoha. As Kakuzu left, Hidan moved his arm, pulled the spear out, then stood to follow after his partner.

They then walked down the steps and down the road.

Konoha Hokage Tower.

(A/N: This up to Asuma's death is canon, feel free to skim/skip til you get to the Bold 1.)

After the monk got to Tsunade, she gathered enough of her force for twenty teams of four ninjas each including Team Asuma thought they would be separated before explaining the mission of exterminating the Akatsuki members who are in the Hi no Kuni.

Outside the village, Asuma was running in the trees with Shikamaru, Izumo, and Kotetsu who had two blades wrapped up on his back in an X. "Asuma-sensei."

"Yeah, what's up?" Asuma asked Shikamaru who was beside him.

"Well, it seems like you knew that Chiriku guy."

"He was one of the Twelve Ninja Guardians with me," Asuma explained before continuing on with his time with the Guardians. "The temples nearby, hurry!"

Several hours later, in the village, Tsunade gets reports on the other teams that could not find the Akatsuki members.

Back at the training ground, Kakashi after having Naruto cut the waterfall, explained that the Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) is actually incomplete as his father meant to add his element to it. "You're kidding?" Naruto asked, crossing his arms. "And you didn't tell me earlier?"

"Well, you disappeared." Kakashi shrugged at that. "But the Fourth wanted to add his chakra element to it."

Naruto nodded before creating countless clones and each one created a Rasengan. (Spiraling Sphere.)

Fire Temple, Morning.

Later, Asuma's team arrives at the Fire Temple, where they are told by Bansai, an old monk that Chiriku's remains were not to be found. Izumo reminds Asuma that Chiriku had a bounty of 30 million Ryo on his head and that the Akatsuki are most likely on their way to collect. Asuma and his team head to the closest Land of Fire Bounty Station while Izumo sends word to the other teams to check out the other four bounty stations. Before they leave, however, they receive a prayer from Bansai.

As Asuma's team heads towards the Land of Fire Bounty Station, Shikamaru remarks that Asuma has not lit a cigarette in two days and that the last time he did so was when his father, the Third Hokage, died. Shikamaru asks what the relationship between him and Chiriku was, and Asuma tells him that their relationship was akin to that of Shikamaru and Chōji. However, he does add that Chiriku is not the reason that he has stopped smoking.

Bounty Station.

Hidan and Kakuzu arrive at the bounty station, where Kakuzu presents Chiriku to Zangei, the bounty exchange master. Zangei confirms the authenticity of the corpse and presents Kakuzu with 30 million ryo while the complaining Hidan decides to go outside. Kakuzu alerts Zangei that he will not be returning for quite some time as he is headed toward Konoha to locate a Jinchūriki.

Zangei tells Kakuzu that he does not think that Hidan is a suitable partner for Kakuzu, as he believes his face is unlucky. Kakuzu tells him that while Hidan does not care about money unlike them, he is the perfect partner for him. He further explains that he has killed all of his former partners in the past due to the fact they provoked him and awakened his killing intent; however, Hidan is unkillable, which makes him the only partner to work with.

Outside, Hidan was sitting on the steps before hearing a step. "Kakuzu took you long enough." He looked over his shoulder, only to see Asuma holding a shuriken.

He quickly stood and pulled his scythe out, having the long tether block the stars. Hidan then threw his arm out, having his blade fly at Asuma who dodged having it hit the concrete. Hidan then looked to his left to see Kotetsu holding one blade while Izumo appeared on his left holding the other. He tried to move only to glance up to see Shikamaru on the building with a hand sign and a shadow extending to connect him to the nukenin.

"Way too slow!" Shikamaru grinned as Hidan was stabbed in his vitals on both sides.

"That's one of them!"

"Ow…! That hurts." Hidan said disinterestedly that he was stabbed. "Who are you, people?" He asked, shocking the four.

"What the hell? We hit him in his vitals."

"Quit sticking it in like that," Hidan spoke looking at the two. "I said knock it off, that hurts!"

"Is he immortal?!" Izumo asked as Hidan sighed.

"Isn't it obvious, you fools? Now, once again, who are you people?" He asked before looking at Asuma and saw his sash. "That symbol…? That's the Guardian Shinobi something or other. Oh terrific, looks like we're going back to that office again."

'Chiriku.' Asuma thought before speaking. "We are the Shinobi of Konoha... Our orders are to capture or eliminate you Akatsuki. We already know you usually operate in pairs. My original idea was to take one of you out and capture the other." Asuma then grabbed his knives. "But I guess that has to change."

"Heh! Well, it's your unlucky day… I'm afraid you chose the wrong ones to start with."

"Your partner, where is he?" Asuma asked as Shikamaru started to sweat before Kakuzu appeared to punch the Chūnin. Asuma looked to where Shikamaru was as the building broke before seeing him jump out with Kakuzu right after. He dashed to block the attack before yelling. "Kotetsu, Izumo, retreat!"

The two jumped back at that as Shikamaru's shadow line was cut. "That fellow in front…" Kakuzu mused before looking over at Hidan. "Well, well, Hidan… This time you struck gold."

"Kakuzu…" Hidan pulled his scythe back to him. "Just stay out of this. I want these three for my ritual… You can have them after."

"Very well, but don't get careless… Or you'll wind up dead," Kakuzu said as Hidan started to draw the circle with his blood on his foot.

"Not that again… Knock it off, will you? Believe me, I wish someone would kill me. But… That's not possible."

Asuma offers to attack Hidan while the others back him up, with Shikamaru providing support with his Shadow Sewing Technique. Shikamaru remarks how Asuma is not the one to make a sacrificial play and remembers the day Asuma taught him how to play shōgi, and how he had beaten Asuma using a sacrificial move known as the Climbing Silver.

Shikamaru asks Asuma if he is intending to use that same strategy, but Asuma comforts him by telling him that he does not intend to sacrifice his life. Using his chakra blades, Asuma engages in a fight with Hidan, who not only has to dodge Asuma but has to evade being caught by Shikamaru's shadows. Hidan attempts to use his scythe to kill Shikamaru, Izumo, and Kotetsu, but the attack is blocked by Asuma who got in a fighting stance where his left hand is making a half-ram and then extending his right hand down with his palm parallel to the ground.

"Raigō: Senjusatsu! (Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Arm Murder!)" A gold spirit hand hits the blade before another hits the nukenin back.

Hidan dodged shadow strings before taking shurikens as he ran to the others, leaving his scythe on the ground in front of Asuma. He pulled his scythe back, having Asuma run before blocking a kunai. Hidan then jumped back and pulled the scythe towards Asuma who blocked it. Only to widen his eyes as he felt the top blade nick his cheek. Hidan pulled his blade back before Asuma tossed his knives up and did multiple hand signs.

He then blew gunpowder out of his mouth as Hidan licked his blood. "Katon: Haisekishō! (Fire Release: Burning Ash!)"

Hidan then calmly walked to his circle while the cloud surrounded the area. His skin turned black with white lines reminiscent of skeletons before Asuma lit the powder via a flint in his teeth.

Boom!

Once the smoke cleared, they saw Not only Hidan burned the upper right half of his cloak but Asuma as well. "Hurts doesn't it?" Hidan asked with a grin as Asuma dropped his right knife.

Picking it up, and pocketing it, Asuma adds his chakra to his other knife. He then rushes toward Hidan with his chakra blades, Hidan uses his Retractable Spear to stab himself in the leg. "Aah!"

Asuma screamed as the same injury appeared on his leg as well, and he collapsed. "And the ritual begins," Hidan said as he stood. "Hurts doesn't it?! Ha-ha-ha-ha! And I didn't even hit a vital spot! Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Hidan attempts to stab himself in the heart to finish off Asuma, but Shikamaru manages to stop him in the nick of time with his Shadow–Neck Binding Technique. Shikamaru then stood and started to slowly move his foot. Hidan then mirrored the action and when his foot was out of the circle, Asuma threw a shuriken nicking Hidan in the ear.

Nothing happened on his own and Shikamaru moved Hidan completely out of the circle before shadow tethers came out of the connection and held the nukenin in place as Asuma walked over and had his chakra cover his blade. Once getting to the nukenin, he then slashes his neck decapitating the nukenin. "Chakura-tō: Maichimonji! (Chakra Blade: Straight Line!)"

"I told you to be careful, didn't I?" Kakuzu sighed as Hidan's head rolled away. "If you wanted my help, you should have asked sooner."

"It was you, you were the slow one Kakuzu!" Hidan yelled from his new spot as his body fell to the ground, shocking the others. "It was on purpose wasn't it?"

"You were the one who told me to stay out of it at the start… I don't think you're in any position to complain right now."

Hidan groaned as he looked at his body. "Alright, alright, maybe I did… Point taken." The Konoha ninja looked between the two as they talked. "But it wasn't out of disrespect or anything like that. Anyway, Kakuzu, would you mind bringing my body over here? Please Kakuzu? Old friend, pretty please?" Kakuzu appeared at Hidan's head and picked it up by the hair. "Hey, I mean to bring my body here to me!"

"It's lighter this way," Kakuzu said, holding a metal briefcase over his shoulder with the other hand revealing his arm has stitches around it.

"Ow, ow, ow! Hey, Kakuzu, you're pulling my hair!"

"I thought your neck wound would hurt more."

"It does! It hurts like a son of a bitch! This is no ordinary injury, let me tell you!" Hidan bit back before looking at the others. "Yeah, it hurts! You fools have no idea how painful it is having your head sliced off!"

As the Konoha shinobi tries to think up a plan, Kakuzu dashes to Asuma, kicks his wounded leg, and uses the case to hit him in the head to the ground. He then jumps on Asuma's back with his knees. Kakuzu then walks to Hidan's body, sets it up, and places his head on the neck. Putting his hand on Hidan's neck, strings came out and stitched him back together.

Hidan then stood as Kakuzu explained not to move much to keep the stitches from removing. Izumo uses his Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field while Kotetsu uses his Conch Shell Mace.

Although Kakuzu avoids being hit by the mace, he ends up being struck by the Starch Syrup. Using his special ability, he unwinds his hands revealing the strings inside and controlling them.

He uses them to keep Izumo and Kotetsu in a death grip as Hidan draws his circle and attempts to finish off Asuma. Asuma, however, attacks back with his chakra blades, but misses; Hidan slices Asuma with his Retractable Spear then pulls his Triple-Bladed Scythe and attempts to impale Asuma from behind, but misses when Shikamaru manages to warn Asuma in time. (1.)

The scythe ends up embedding itself within Hidan, but as Hidan had ingested Asuma's blood and was in his Jashin circle, Asuma is wounded too. Wanting to finish Asuma off, Hidan takes his Retractable Spear and aims for his heart. "NO!"

Suddenly, the spear shifts to Hidan's left hand, cutting it off. "AAH!"

A shadow appears over them before Naruto dropped down in his armor holding his saber handle as a woman dropped beside him. She has black hair and yellowish eyes. She's wearing a pair of pants and a red short-sleeved shirt, bandages wrapped on each lower arm, and a yellow ring wrapped around each knee. She also has the Twelve Guardian Ninja waist cloth around her waist.

Tōu Twelve Ninja Guardian. (2.)

"Bones tend to Asuma. Alpha, Crackshot, and Talon protect him while we deal with the threats."

"Yes sir!"

The clones said as they landed and pulled Asuma to the side before Alpha, Crackshot, and Talon formed a circle around him and Bones.

"Who the hell are you?!" Hidan yelled, clutching his wrist.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the one that beat you last time to save Kumo's Jinchūriki, and I am the Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi," Naruto said spinning his handle, turned the saber and tossed it at Kakuzu's tethers forcing him to let the others go and jumped back.

Only for him to freeze as Naruto stabbed him in the chest. "That hurt!"

Naruto looked up in surprise before speaking. "Tōu, take care of the jackass over there!"

"Got it!" She yelled as she tackled Hidan out of his circle.

"How'd Tōu know we'd be here?" Asuma asked as Alpha glanced back.

"Your leader let the Daimyo know and she found out that way." He explained before Aoba, Chōji, and Ino dropped down.

"Asuma-sensei!"

Naruto ducked under a swipe from Kakuzu and jumped back with his lightsaber before seeing Kakuzu take his cloak off. "How the hell are you alive? I know I got you in your small black heart!" His eyes then widened as he saw Kakuzu's body was stitched up and he had four masks on his back, one where he stabbed him broken.

"Shit!" Kakuzu's back then broke open revealing his tendrils that formed bodies for each mask. "Whelp, I'm just gonna pretend I'm going to sleep well for the next couple of weeks." He finished just as the broken mask body died.

"Kakuzu! What the hell was that?!" Hidan yelled at his teammate. "You put on that big show and now one of them drops dead before we even fight?"

"Hidan, just stay back."

Naruto looked at the mess that was the broken mask before glancing at Kakuzu. 'That mask died… It came out from the spot that I hit him in.'

"Raiso Gekishin! (Lightning Rat Violent Quake!)"

Naruto saw Tōu discharge electricity and shot five disks at Hidan who ran around having them hit something else as they honed in on him. As he landed, Tōu then tackled him as she had electricity covering her body. "Raiton Takkuru! (Lightning Release: Tackle!)"

"AH! That hurt bitch!" Hidan yelled out before bringing his scythe down.

Tōu jumped back and went through hand signs before blowing out a large fireball. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu! (Fire Release: Fireball Technique!)"

Hidan threw his scythe again as she dropped before Tōu dodged and grabbed the end. She had electricity go through the rope and shock the nukenin. She then dashed forward before going through hand signs again. "Raiton: Raishinsen! (Lightning Release: Thunderbolt Flash!)" Purple chakra came off her hands sending Hidan back into a shadow forcing him to be still.

Tōu then went through hand signs and had a hole open under the nukenin forcing him to fall. She then went through more hand signs before a large wave of electricity came off her hands and went into the hole. "Raiton: Jibashi! (Lightning Release: Earth Flash!)"

Tōu then closed the hole burying Hidan before turning to watch Naruto's fight.

Naruto then jumped back as one mask shot a bolt of lightning at him before landing and jumped to the side avoiding another mask shooting fire out of its mouth before hearing Shikamaru. "Naruto! I think those masks must have separate hearts that belong to him!"

Kakuzu explained that he took the hearts of the shinobi that he's killed as well as other organs before the masks dashed to Naruto. Naruto jumped away as they shot fire and lightning at him. He dropped down before hearing Kakuzu explain he faced the Shodai Hokage (First Fire Shadow). Naruto glared before tossing his shoto blade, having a mask duck under it before pulling it back, turning the second blade on, and striking the mask.

"I guess you forgot I could do that."

Kakuzu grunted slightly before looking at the Jedi/Shinobi. "I thought only he could do that."

"Oh, so one person in your little band can do that?" Naruto asked as he pulled his shoto to him. "I'm surprised." He finished before Kakuzu called the other hearts back to him and had his tendrils burst out of his back, arms, and mouth. "(Sigh) To stop any more nightmares, I'm gonna break out my move then."

Turning his blades off, Naruto spun the handles before clipping them on his belt and holding his hand out. He started creating his Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) as the others heard screeching before what looked like shuriken blades came off it. Naruto then held it up before running at Kakuzu. "Fūton: Rasengan (Wind Release: Spiraling Sphere!)"

Kakuzu got ready, only to get hit in the leg by Crackshot before the jutsu hit him in the chest. The screeching got louder as Naruto quickly jumped back as the ball expanded around Kakuzu. They saw the sphere start to clear up as what looked like needles constantly pierced Kakuzu's entire body, tearing his skin off and destroying all the masks.

The sphere then disappeared but the needles kept attacking Kakuzu as Naruto held his arm. After several minutes, the needles disappeared before the now-dead nukenin fell into the crater it created.

A Few Days Later, Konoha Hokage Tower.

"Well done everyone."

Naruto and the others stood in front of Tsunade who had her fingers laced in front of her. "But it's not time to celebrate just yet. Not when there are still members of the Akatsuki out there."

"You sure know how to take the winds outta our sails." Naruto deadpanned before the busty Hokage looked at his right arm.

"Naruto, your injuries."

"Just a flesh wound. I got some blowback from my jutsu." Naruto grinned at that.

"I want you to go to the hospital for a full exam."

"Fuck that!"

Tōu looked at him in surprise at that before Tsunade sighed. "You still have that fear of hospitals? How'd you survive the other dimension?"

"They're worse with no medical jutsu!"

"I order the rest of you to take time off. Give your mind and body rest."

"How's Asuma?" Naruto asked, getting the Kage's attention.

"He's fine, but missing his hand, I'm afraid his shinobi career-!"

"Yeah, he can still do that," Naruto spoke up as Tsunade looked at him.

"And how without two hands? It's not like Gai or Lee… Plus Suna won't give village secrets out for wooden ones."

"Oh, I didn't show you?" Naruto asked before bringing his arm up. "Zule, can you come in?" A moment later, the Padawan walked in. "Zule, can you show them your left hand?" She brought her gloved hand up and took it off, shocking the ninja at the mechanical one as she clenched the fingers into a fist and opened them. "The other dimension can make new limbs."

"Would they share?" Tsunade asked as Naruto shrugged.

"Sure, I'll ask Yoda to bring some of the doctors at the temple here to show you how," Naruto said before walking out.

And was then grabbed by Yūgao. "Make sure Naruto gets to the hospital," Tsunade ordered, having the Anbu nod.

"Hey! Wait a fuc-!"

Yūgao and Naruto disappeared in a cloud of smoke

Night Hospital.

In an autopsy room, Tsunade was talking to Kakashi and Yamato over the body of Kakuzu. She explains that Rasenshuriken is more like a poison, working on a microscopic level to cause cellular damage. She explains that Kakuzu's entire Chakra Pathway System had been severed and that Naruto most likely has the same injuries to his right arm, albeit to a lesser degree.

Tsunade adds that damage done to the cellular level cannot be treated by her medical ninjutsu and thus labels the technique a kinjutsu, (Forbidden Technique,) asking Kakashi to make sure that Naruto understands that he is never to use the technique again.

"Well, yeah, it's not complete."

The three looked to see Naruto walking with BD in front of him. "BD told me you all were here."

"What do you mean it's not finished?" Tsunade asked, crossing her arms under her bust.

Naruto brought up a shuriken in his bandaged right hand. "Let me ask you this: Do you attack with a shuriken by holding it in your palm?"

She raised an eyebrow at that. "No, that would damage you, you throw-!" She stopped as the shuriken flew by her face.

"Exactly, you throw it. My new jutsu is incomplete, I need to throw it." Naruto explained having her narrow her eyes. "I lied saying it was complete so I can go back up Shikamaru."

"… OK, the incomplete version you will not use again. Can you complete it?"

"Are your tits big?" Naruto asked before the shuriken he threw impacted the wall behind him and created a crater while a cut appeared on his right cheek. "Whoa, hey I meant yeah I can do it!"

To Be Continued.

1. Just a reminder that's there to say canon stopped.

2. I always thought it was strange no other guardians helped as because as far as I know the others dying was part of a filler arc before this one.
