I don't own Naruto or any of its characters, I'm just a fan I enjoyed the anime but I love the fanfics even more, they made me fall for the whole franchise.
Chapter 93
Dan Uchiha jumped from rooftop to rooftop chasing after the 6 armed young adult located on a rooftop in the distance. The sound ninja shot golden arrows his way as he cackled maniacally.
Dan had his three tomoe Sharingan active, he let memories play in the recess of his mind concentrating on thinking up a plan of action. With his target so far away from him, Dan could not read the twitch In the muscles before an arrow would be shot his way.
Dan landed on a rooftop with the aid of a ninja wire tied to a Kunai that he had thrown on a gray wall, he used it to yank himself from the air and out of the way of an arrow about to pierce him. Landing in a crouch, Dan dashed to the left to dodge three more arrows shot at him that lodged themselves deeply in the rooftop.
The six-armed Shinobi turned to face forward and jumped on another rooftop making his way toward the Hokage tower with great speed. Dan showed no outward emotions as he picked up his pace and chased after his target.
Reaching the edge of the current rooftop he ran on, the philosopher jumped while drawing four shurikens and aimed before letting them fly toward the foreign ninja in the distance with great force and precision.
Dan went through hand seals and performed the substitution jutsu with one of said Shurikens. He performed the low chakra cost jutsu three more times to swap places with the Kunais to gain on the sound ninja who did not expect the strategy.
"You are not bad Uchiha but I am wayyyyyy better kakalak kalaak kulak!!!" The six-armed young adult turned mid-jump to the next roof so he could face Dan with a golden bow and arrow in hand.
"Dodge this!" He exclaimed before letting his projectile fly toward the airborne Uchiha.
Dan threw a fifth Shuriken to his right that lodged itself on a building's vertical surface before going through hand seals and performing the substitution technique to swap with the ninja weapon. The Officer found himself losing ground as he stood on the building and jumped to the next continuing the chase.
Dan Uchiha was a master of the substitution jutsu, from a young age he had mastered said E-Rank technique, using it to rob unsuspecting civilians and low-rank ninjas alike. Dan of the kawarimi was a master of the substitution jutsu an E-rank technique that most forgot was the closest thing to the flying thunder God jutsu in application.

Hinata blinked and looked at the third Hokage's signature a few feet away from her, he was in a bad mood that spelled worry and uncertainty. She felt three other familiar chakra signatures in the room that shocked her immensely.
Itachi Sensei's emotions spoke of his pride for her and Naruto but also his remorse for what she could guess was Sasuke's behavior and proclamation.
'Orochimaru and the masked man are here?!.' Hinata thought in a panic, she felt Orochimaru's smugness make itself known to her emotional sensing ability like he was daring her to prove her value by revealing his presence in the room.
"Not going to offer us a sit?" Naruto asked and Hinata felt her lover's bratty side make itself known to her. "I'll just get my own." Naruto-Kun said with a tiny burst of Chakra he was all smug again while some of the kage's emotions became sour.
"Here princess Hinata, you can sit down." Naruto bent a little so he could sit his lover down on the lavish throne he summoned. Hinata appreciated the act and smiled at her bf who returned the gesture with his happy emotions hugging her.
Naruto stood on the Hyūga's right like a protector ready to take action accordingly which made Hinata sigh when she felt the emotion, the blonde was sizing up every Kage in the room.
"A blinde Hyūga." Hinata looked toward the voice that spoke, committing the male voice and Chakra signature to memory, she could not tell which Kage it was.
"Why is the Hyūga here Hiruzen?" An older male voice spoke out while releasing mixed emotions. He was happy with Naruto for some reasons but hated him for others.
"Because she can." Naruto answered the question before the Hokage could do the same.
"Why did you call us here? And make it quick, Hime and I want to pack our things we're going on a hiatus." Hinata simply shook her head while thinking the blonde was more trouble than he was worth.
"Straight to the matter at hand, you truly are your father's son." The voice that questioned Hinata's status as a blind Hyūga spoke up again to sour Naruto's mood with its remark. Hinata smiled in joy when her blonde lover did not let the revelation disturb him.
"You are not surprised?" Hiruzen questioned with shock that Hinata picked up on better than everyone in the room.
"There is nothing to be surprised about, every child is born to a mother and father. If the Riakage knew the man good for him." Hinata smiled again, Naruto took well to his studies on politics. His answers were articulated perfectly, instead of revealing what he knew he rather wanted to know what the gathered Kages knew about him.
"So you don't know who he is?" The second person to have spoken up after whom Hinata now understood was the Fourth Riakage of Kumogakure.
"What did you want to talk about Sarutobi-San?" Naruto ignored the question he received and instead waited to receive an answer to his own. The Hokage inwardly died or Hinata thinks he did before replying.
"My fellow Kages would like to know more about the TAYA Tags." Naruto was flabbergasted by that.
"What more is there to know, I explained it all back in the arena." Hinata's lover said in a little annoyance at the thought of them expecting him to repeat all that he said.
'I am so tired.' Hinata thought letting out a cute yawn in the background that was ignored by all but the one who mattered.

Sasuke found himself on a battlefield and awoke with a groan, he did not know what was going on but he was in the middle of a full-out war if the Blades clashing in the distance and explosions ringing everywhere was anything to go by.
The Uchiha spun on the ground quickly to dodge a form that tried to crater his body. He quickly got on his feet and reacted going for the kill. With a Chidori in hand which gave him the light needed to see his attackers form. Sasuke pushed even faster to eliminate his opponent on instinct instead of consciously thinking about it.
There was a wet sound that managed to pierce through the sound of a thousand birds tweeting as Sasuke's piercing Sharingan eyes captured the face he always wanted the blonde to make.
The Uchiha of team 7 stood there looking Naruto Uzumaki in the eyes, in his left hand he held the dobe's beating heart through his chest. Somehow he managed to use the chidori to only reach the heart, like he subconsciously did not want it to end too soon.
Naruto was struggling? Sasuke smiled at that, he snickered a second later and laughed out loud 3 seconds later.
"What is wrong dobe?!" Sasuke mocked in a shout. "You can't talk!?" The Uchiha's face was not looking pleasant anymore as he laughed and slapped the blond across the face with his backhand.
"Naruto-Kun!!" Sasuke turned quickly and yanked his arms out of Naruto's chest as he jumped away from a diagonal sword swipe from Hinata-Chan.
He watched her go on her knees to catch the blonde dropping form, Naruto was smiling at the sight of her. Sasuke realized it was always the case with him.
Naruto reached out to Hinata's cheek while she cried and begged him to not die. His bloody finger only grazed her lips before he became still.
Sasuke looked to his left hand and saw he had something occupying it, He threw it away quickly, the object dropping close to the star-struck Hyuga heiress.
The Uchiha looked at his left hand that held Naruto's once-beating heart he was trembling form some reason. He looked up and grimaced at the sight of a devastated Hinata picking up the bloody and now dirty organ lying on the ground.
She summoned a small shower of water and rinsed it clean. Sasuke watched unmoving as the girl he loved took off her baggy jacket to reveal a black mesh shirt. She went on to remove that too, now leaving her in only bandages wrapped around her rather noticeable bust. The Uchiha tried to call out to her when he finally found his voice but froze.
"Hinata No!!" Sasuke shouted in horror as the Most understanding person he knew cut her chest open before placing Naruto's heart next to her beating one. Sasuke tried to approach her but something stopped him from doing so.
He could only stand there and watch her lay down on her back as she hugged her chest tightly whispering things to the air Sasuke could hear very clearly, he remembered hearing it once before.
"Naruto-Kun, this heart beats with you in mind." She gave a final smile before frowning and choking out a cry. Sasuke felt it inside and something told him he would never forget it.
"Hinata-Chan." Sasuke found himself only able to move when the Hyūga Heiress stopped moving, she was somehow still leaking fresh tears. Sasuke felt slow, everything felt too lucid, he now noticed what he thought was a war zone was in actuality a barren field, his only company being two former teammates.

Zabuza Momochi looked at the blonde he would never forget, honestly he could now see why Ao lost to him. Zabuza could even entertain the idea that if he fought the brat like he was a brat and let him surprise him too much he would lose.
Zabuza was surprised by the boy's brutality against his teammate, then again both boys were doing it to the extreme. With how well they worked together against him in Wave he had assumed them to be one of those classic friendship-powered Konoha teams.
'Fact is they are not.' Zabuza thought looking at the Hyūga girl, he wondered if she remembered his Chakra signature.
The missing ninja grunted in a low voice and decided to concentrate on what mattered. Haku was not getting better and Zabuza had not yet met their leader. The group introduced itself to him as Akatsuki, a group of S-ranked revolutionaries who want to fight for peace and justice not for one nation but for the world.
Zabuza at first had doubts until he was introduced to the man who took down Yagura, Tobi.
Tobi is well Tobi, Tobi says he was born with a rare bloodline limit in Kiri that turned his skin white and his body plant-like. He liked talking about and drawing poop, Zabuza understood that the world was a Whirlpool of clusterfucks but he didn't think it was all that bad, that a person can see everything as poop related was a bit sad.
Looking for aid to throw down Yagura's rein in The mist village. Tobi heard stories and rumors of a group in Ame that fought for justice and change in their village. He decided to approach them and open talks of an alliance, Instead, they offered him friendship. With great belief, perseverance, and humbleness they managed to free both their countries from terrible rulers.
Tobi became Kage of Kirigakure and the leader of Akatsuki became Kage of Amegakure.
'Such a happy ending.' Zabuza thought sarcastically, all he cared about was meeting this 'painful' guy with special eyes and finding a way to save Haku.
"And these tags are being sold in Konohagaru?" Zabuza left his mind and paid attention to the talks. The one to speak was Onoki. "Because Hiruzen over there says only his allies will be able to acquire them." Zabuza felt like he was in a room full of children. Is this really how Kages behaved?
"Oh!" Zabuza watched the blonde slap his face in realization as he looked to the kage dropping said arm and a metaphorical bomb on the old man's face. "I quit." He said with a very teasing grin he did not do well covering up with a cough.
"That should make things simpler, I am an independent Shinobi and not Konoha affiliated we will all work splendidly together. Believe it!" Zabuza didn't laugh but Onoki was doing it for him as he laughed with a kind of joy only someone's prayers coming true could bring out.
"Since I am here, how about that Chunin vest." The boy was conceited Zabuza realized with a sneer hidden under his hooded visage. The Hyūga heiress shook her head but smiled just the same.
"That is not…." Hiruzen had finally found his voice Zabuza realized but he was cut off very smoothly.
"Why not? I believe the verdict is a simple affair." Tobi was still a mystery to Zabuza there was something wrong with how good he was at playing different characters at the drop of the hat.
"It was a beautiful dance to witness." The Fifth Mizukage finished and many seemed to agree except Rasa who was anywhere but with them.
'Suspicious.' Zabuza Momochi, the new Akatsuki member partnered with Kisame Hoshigaki, a fellow former Swordsmen of Kiri.

"Lord Jashin forgive thy person who knows not your pity and anger, he onlyth do it for the joys of this impure land." Kakuza said nothing as his teammate continued to pray to a lord he did not believe in. They were making their way to the edge of his personal mountain to catch a ride to their next assignment.
"Tell your lord to give me money, a lot of it, or bring me investors with even more money than I can dream." Kakuza's deep voice that carried a rich noble accent to it said blandly.
"Where is our transportation?" Kakuza continued without pause. He was now dressed in an attire similar to his partner.
"There is our ride." Kakuza looked up and spotted the bird in the distance approaching them. From far it looked like a small creature but Kakuza knew better.
"Good." The Akatsuki member voiced with a tone of impatience as he walked past his black stallion that looked too healthy as it munched on the very healthy grass that was perfectly trimmed and grown.
'They don't make them like they used to.' Kakuza thought back to the time when the meaning of S-Rank Shinobi was more unattainable to the normal Shinobi.
Kakuzu is a very tall man with tanned skin and long dark-brown hair. His eyes have an unusual coloring to them consisting of green irides with no pupils and red sclerae, He has a very muscular build.
He wore a black mask over his lower face and donned a grey hood that covered his hair. His clothing included an Akatsuki cloak, the Takigakure forehead protector with a scratch in the middle which symbolized that he was no longer loyal to it, and grey pants with matching shinobi sandals. He wore brown nail polish and a dark green ring with the kanji for "north" (北) was placed on his left middle finger.
Kakuza watched Hidan wave their coworkers located on the bird down with his weapon. Hidan has medium-length grey hair that is slicked back and distinctive purple eyes. The gray-colored giant dragon-like creature landed with a dust cloud picking up due to its giant wings.
The religious man wore no shirt, only wearing their organization's cloak, which he kept slightly open, revealing the Yugakure forehead protector around his neck and Jashin amulet. Hidan's forehead protector bore a slash across the village symbol, signifying he severed ties with it like most members of Akatsuki. He wore grey pants with matching shinobi sandals and dark green nail polish with an orange ring on his left index finger, which bears the kanji for "three" (三).
Kakuza walked up to the clay bird and ignored the blonde-haired teen grinning at him. The atrocious puppet that followed his movements with a creak of each turn of the neck did not register twice in the former prince of Taki.
Hidan jumped up and high to land on the giant clay dragon's back. The religious Akatsuki member approached Kakuza and stood next to him, quite a few center meters shorter than the disgraced princes of Taki.
The dragon began flapping its wings ready to lift off. On one side of its back was Kakuza and Hidan who were stalking their colleagues with predatory eyes. Menacing auras radiating off of them in waves that projected their killing intent.
On the other side was the disfigured puppet-like construction that creaked and twitched occasionally with rattle-like sounds coming from its hidden mouth under the collar of the Akatsuki cloak it downed. It wore a straw hat that his it's visage even further.
"Lord Jashin wants you to see him immediately." Hidan attacked with his tri-bladed weapon. Kakuza folded his arms and watched as his partner attacked the blonde teen who only grinned and accepted the challenge.
"Let's see how many times I can kill you before we reach Konoha! Yeah?…" The blonde proclaimed with his hand deep in his ninja pouch. Kakuza faced forward using his chakra to stick to the dragon firmly as they rose higher and higher to the sky.
'Hashirama Senju, where is that perfect world you said you would create by removing individuals like me from power.' Kakuza was going to get up and personal with as many tree huggers as possible while performing his objectives.
