We All Die

The moment his Rasengan made contact with his skin, Kakuzu was sent flying away by the force of the Rasengan, the high temperature has caused the surrounding environment to start burning, but Naruto noticed that Kakuzu's skin had turned grey at the last second.

Shit, he thought, knowing what that meant; as he landed on the ground, suddenly a scythe was right in front of his face, wielded by the other Akatsuki member who had a maniac grin on his face, wanting to see the blood of the blonde. Their eyes made contact, and due to the desire to kill, Hidan didn't notice that Naruto's eyes had turned red.

"Die," he screamed in joy as his scythe sliced the punks head in half, one eyeball flying in the air. Hidan's grin grew but was immediately replaced with confusion and anger when a sword went through his chest from behind.

Looking behind, he saw it was the same blonde he killed a second ago; his confusion increased when the one he killed disappeared, but his eyes widened when he saw the damn Sharingan in the blonde's eyes.

Sharingan?! How is this possible? I thought only the Uchiha bastard had that annoying eye; Hidan's eye made contact with Naruto's Sharingan again. The Akatsuki member moved his right arm; he tried to swing his scythe at Naruto from behind, not caring if the sharp blades of his own weapon would harm him.

Naruto disappeared from view before it could hit him, jumping up in the air, when Kakuzu suddenly showed up right in front of him in mid-air, a punch directed at his face; Naruto used his arms to block as the punch sent him flying away.

Crashing against the ground, Naruto didn't waste time before standing up. The blonde knew his friends were in danger, especially Ino and Shika; unlike him and Fuu, they were not ready yet to face an S-Rank Shinobi.

"Naruto" Ino screamed in panic, seeing him slamming against the ground, but her losing the focus on the battlefield gave the enemy an opening; Hidan was right in front of her, ready to kill her, his scythe up in the air just above her head when his body suddenly stopped moving just as the scythe was dangerously close to her head.

A shadow had connected with his shadow, making him immobile as he glared at the annoying genin who was desperately trying to hold him down.

This is way too hard; he's much more powerful than me, Shikamaru thought in alarm; they were in no way even close to fighting someone like them. We need to run away, he thought urgently, hoping Asuma would arrive soon, but him using the shadow control jutsu made him completely open to Kakuzu, who rushed to his position; his arm had turned grey, enhanced with Earth Affinity, ready to crush his skull to pieces.

However, Kakuzu didn't live longer than everyone else without gaining experience from the many fights; he completely saw the attack of the little girl with green hair, Nanabi, he thought as she rushed with her kick.

Kakuzu grabbed her leg in mid-air before slamming her against the ground; again and again, the smoke cleared, revealing Fuu, who was glaring at him as red chakra started spreading all around her.

Shit, he thought before he jumped away, just as the annoying girl used her wind attack to push him away.

Kakuzu looked at where Hidan was standing a minute ago, only to see him lying on the ground beside him, his mouth bleeding, as was his torso.

"That bloody Blonde," Hidan shouted in annoyance; while Kakuzu was trying to deal with the annoying Genin who used his shadow Jutsu, Hidan had broken free from his stupid shadow control, ready to kill him only for the blonde Jinchuuriki to punch him in the face.

Naruto analyzed the situation in front of him without looking away from the enemy. "Shika, you and Ino find Asuma; leave this to Fuu and me," Naruto ordered his friends; Fuu was currently using the three tails stage since it would take longer to get tired.

Hearing what Naruto said, both Shika and Ino stood up, they knew they weren't ready to fight against enemies like them, but Naruto was literally telling them to abandon him and Fuu.

"We are not running away, Naruto-kun; me and Shikamaru can help you," Ino shouted desperately, her fist clenching, knowing deep inside she was no help in this situation.

Naruto still kept his gaze on them, knowing they would take every opportunity to attack; the masked Shinobi, at least the one with the scythe, seemed to be too careless.

"That's where you are wrong, how strong you are now. I hate to say it, but you can't do anything; right now, we are facing enemies who are S-Rank Shinobi, strong enough to fight a Kage. Want to help? Find Asuma-sensei. Shikamaru, I trust your intellect, just watch the shadows, and you will find your way," Naruto spoke before taking a step forward toward them.

Ino was reluctant to leave, but Shikamaru gave her a serious look. "Don't die," She said before they both ran away, leaving Fuu and Naruto against Hidan and Kakuzu; the first one started laughing seeing the small fry running away.

"Do you think they will be safe if they run, I will personally slice that girl to small pieces right in front of you," Hidan declared with a grin that reached his ears, his teeth mixed with blood.

Kakuzu, meanwhile, was watching the blonde with a calculating look; he knew something was off here, especially with the blonde one. What is this? How is he so calm in front of us, even if he was a suicidal bastard who cares little for his own life? The way he breaths is completely calm; even Hidan's taunting didn't make him lose control, the smart Akatsuki member thought; he was about to tell his partner they needed to do this quickly and not underestimate the brats.

"Hey, look at what we have here, Kakuzu; it seems to be the Kyuubi is brave, and so is the Nanabi Demon," Hidan said, not sounding at all worried.

Fuu glared at them for calling her friend that, but she didn't fall for it; they would soon would get what was coming to them.

"Do not underestimate the Kyuubi brat; he's a Jinchuuriki after all," Kakuzu warned him as he kept his eyes on the blonde, who didn't have any kind of reaction.

While the Akatsuki duo were talking, Naruto was deep in thought; why was Asuma-sensei called so early in the morning? Leaving us defenseless against them sounds too convenient, not to mention they came inside a village that is supposed to be hidden, he thought, noticing the Taki Ninja Emblem on Kakuzu.

Even if he knew how to get inside, the sensor Shinobi around the village should have detected them, Naruto thought, realizing someone had allowed them to walk inside without any warning; not only that, but it happened when the Kyuubi was inside the Village as well.

Naruto remembered Fuu's words about Shibuki, the leader, who seemed to have started distancing himself from her in the past few months.

I see

"Nah, he's still a brat, and what am I worried about? I can't die, although that sword of his did manage to piss me off," Hidan said carelessly.

Kakuzu said nothing but removed his coat, revealing a body full of stitches, as if his whole body was once torn apart and stitched back together somehow.

Hidan's walk quickly turned into a run. Hidan began to shriek as he came close to Fuu. "Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Hidan jumped into the air and came down at Fuu with his scythe; Fuu quickly rolled to her right, avoiding Hidan's scythe. Hidan quickly swung his scythe to his left, towards Fuu. Fuu jumped back, dodging the triple-bladed scythe once again. Hidan quickly turned towards Fuu and charged towards her again, and when he got close to her, he unleashed a barrage of swings with his scythe. "Take this! Hya! Ha! Rgh!"

Fuu just dodged the slashes one by one; he would move to the left, move to the right, duck down, jump up, anything to avoid being caught by one of those blades. Hidan was getting frustrated at this, "Just stand still and die!"

Hidan brought the scythe over her head and slammed it down extremely fast, Fuu had rolled to the side, hoping to avoid being cut with it, and fortunately, it only cut through her pants; it hadn't hit her skin. Fuu, wanting to end the battle before she actually got nipped by the scythe, quickly threw a wind jutsu at Hidan; the immortal was unable to dodge it and was hit with its full force. This sent him flying several feet away, but he quickly regained his composure and landed on his feet. Fuu wasn't done, and neither was Hidan; Hidan charged forward towards Fuu once again while Fuu put her hands together and performed the Shadow Clone jutsu.

Fuu created six more of himself, so there was seven Fuu's in all. As Hidan drew closer, the Fuu's began charging at him as well. When Hidan got in the range he needed to use his scythe, he quickly spun around, slamming his scythe into three Shadow clones, causing them to disappear in a puff of smoke. While three of the four remaining Fuu's jumped upon Hidan, slamming him down onto the ground and pinning him there. As Hidan struggled to break free from Fuu's grip, he began to curse, "What the hell, you little brat? Get the fuck off of me! Fucking get off me!"

The last Fuu held out her right hand, her palm open, and without the help of another Fuu, she formed a Rasengan.

How does she know that?! Hidan thought, remembering when the blonde Jinchuuriki used it against Kakuzu.

Fuu quickly jumped several feet into the air and came plummeting down at Hidan. As the last Fuu got closer with her technique, Hidan just spoke two words, "Well fuck!"

Fuu was only three inches above Hidan, so he shot his right arm forward, slamming her Rasengan through his Shadow clones and into Hidan. Fuu had slammed it into his gut; the Rasengan fluctuated for several seconds until it exploded. When the light from the explosion had faded, Fuu was standing over Hidan's body; there was a huge gaping hole in his torso. But there was no blood, no organs, or anything to be seen. This wasn't good; Fuu knew something was up; she just couldn't help but think, "What the hell?"

As Hidan lay on the ground, he thought, "Fuck what Pain wants! I'm killing this kid now!"

Hidan quickly caught Fuu off guard; he brought his scythe up and swung it at her; Fuu could barely dodge the attack, being nipped in the front of her left leg by it; the cut wasn't too bad, but it did draw a bit of blood. Hidan smirked, jumped up, brought the blade that had Fuu's blood on it to his mouth, and licked some of it off. Fuu stared at Hidan; she couldn't help but think, "This guy is disgusting! But this has to be an intimidation method; well, if he thinks he can intimidate me this easily, he's got another thing coming. But how's he still alive? That's what really get's me."

Hidan then quickly slammed his scythe upon the ground and drew a circle with a triangle within it upon the ground in Fuu's blood. Hidan stood in the middle of it, and his skin turned black with white markings that made him look like a skeleton. "Curse Jutsu: Ceremony of Death!"

Fuu's body became limp, and she couldn't move, "What the hell is going on? Why can't I move?"

Hidan smirked at Fuu's frustration, "This is your end! This technique makes it where you can't move! And now I can feel your agony as the final moment of death seeps into my body; the pain is transcended and becomes the purest ecstasy! Let me show you what I mean!"

Hidan sliced his shoulder good and deeply with his scythe; Fuu could feel extreme burning pain in her shoulder, "Ahhhhh!"

"See? Any damage I inflict upon myself, you feel. And don't worry about me, as you've already seen, I can't die! I'm immortal, thanks to lord Jashin!"

Before Fuu could form a plan, Hidan pulled out a spear from his Akatsuki cloak and slammed it through his left arm. Fuu felt as if it was her arm, "Ahhhhhhh!"

Hidan pulled the spear out and slammed it through his right arm; Fuu couldn't help but feel the pain, "Ahhhh!"

Hidan's smirk grew; he pulled the spear out and slammed it through his left leg, pushing it so deep that it went through and pierced his other leg as well.

Hidan took the spear out, raised it up, and impaled himself through the chest, being careful not to hit any vital organs. Fuu could feel the pain of being torn up inside by the spear; it was extremely agonizing, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Damnit!"

Hidan then began to laugh maniacally at Fuu, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Now you die," Hidan screamed, ready to kill her when Fuu grinned instead of screaming in pain.

"You're right, 'Now You Die' " Before Hidan could understand what she meant or even do anything, two giant Sharingan suddenly showed up right in front of him, and Fuu disappeared from his view like steam.

"Wait, this whole time I was..." his thoughts were interrupted as a Sword sliced him, cutting him in half.

Hidan's eyes widened; I'm immortal; I can't die, he thought, knowing he would not die, whatever they throw at him.

Naruto

Naruto and Kakuzu charged forward toward each other, both shooting their right fists forward. The two fists slammed into each other, but neither Shinobi gave an inch.

So caught up in the battle that Kakuzu didn't notice the Shinobi hidden in the shadows waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Naruto quickly threw a left kunai; Kakuzu just moved his head, effectively dodging it. The two then jumped back several feet; Kakuzu could feel how strong Naruto's chakra was; at least, he sensed how strong the amount he put out was. "I'll finish this quickly, so I can hurry up and find a bounty somewhere."

Before Naruto could even respond, Kakuzu jumped several feet into the air and ripped the mask off his face, revealing his long black hair and stitched-up mouth; he then performed a couple of hand signs, "Lightning Style: False Darkness."

Kakuzu's mouth opened, the stitches tearing out and a bolt of lightning shot out of it; it came rushing down at Naruto at an incredible speed. Naruto didn't have enough time to dodge, so he had to counter; he quickly formed the Lightning Blade with his right hand, lifted his right arm, and quickly shot it forward. He cut right through the lightning bolt, but he could feel the pain of being hit with it the whole way. Naruto's Lightning Blade quickly faded, and he grabbed his arm in pain. It felt as if he had cut through several trees with his bare hand, only without any chakra to help him.

While Naruto held his arm in pain, Kakuzu quickly formed a couple more hand signs, "Wind Style: Pressure Damage!"

Kakuzu's stitched-up mouth once again ripped open, and he fired a ball of air from his mouth, but he wasn't done just yet. He quickly formed several more hand signs, "Fire Style: Searing Migraine!"

Before his stitches could reattach themselves, he shot out a ball of fire from his mouth; his stitches then sewed up his mouth once again. The fireball flew down towards Naruto at an incredible speed until it slammed into the airball and fused together with it. The wind ball became twice as big, as did the fireball inside it, and it was heading straight at the blonde. Naruto looked up at it, there wasn't too much of a success rate for dodging that, plus he didn't want this guy to set the whole forest on fire. So he quickly formed a Rasengan, raised his left arm, and shot it forward, slamming the Rasengan into the double jutsu.

The Rasengan and the two jutsu clashed for several seconds until the fire and wind jutsu dissolved into nothing. Naruto took this as his chance; he quickly formed a second Rasengan in his right hand and jumped up at Kakuzu.

The Akatsuki member jumped away to avoid him and his powerful Jutsu but didn't notice the hidden genin, who successfully formed his hand signs.

"Shadow Possession Jutsu" Kakuzu was too focused on Naruto that he didn't see the shadow paralyzing him; despite Shikamaru only being able to hold him for only three seconds, that was enough for Naruto as he slammed his Double Rasengan on his chest.

Naruto grinded the two Rasengans into Kakuzu's chest until he tore two separate wholes through his chest; the Rasengans then exploded. This sent Kakuzu flying twenty feet away, he busted through several trees, and when he hit the ground, he examined his body; Naruto had taken out one of his five hearts already. The wholes in Kakuzu's chest quickly reformed, the threads of his body weaving together. Naruto watched as this happened; he couldn't help but think, "What the fuck? His body is made of threads?"

Kakuzu got to his feet, looked at Naruto, and spoke, "You and your little friend are heavily skilled; you destroyed one of my five hearts quite quickly. And now, as recompense, I'll be taking your heart for my own!"

Naruto was quite surprised by his words; his thoughts were on his enemy, "What? He has five hearts? But that's impossible! Unless...he knows the Earth Grudge technique!"

Naruto quickly dashed towards Kakuzu, his fists at the ready. Naruto got up close to Kakuzu too fast; he wasn't able to dodge. Naruto hit him with a right fist, then a left jab, then he slammed his knee into Kakuzu's stomach. Kakuzu then hunched over; Naruto quickly brought down his right arm and shot it up, slamming his fist hard into Kakuzu's jaw, giving him a powerful uppercut. Kakuzu was knocked several feet into the air, but he quickly recomposed himself and landed on the ground. Naruto then charged toward him once again; as Naruto got closer, Kakuzu formed a few hand signs, "Earth Style: Iron Skin!"

Naruto threw a right hook at Kakuzu, and it connected with his face, but Kakuzu acted as if he barely felt it. Naruto looked up at him and noticed his skin had turned red, "Crap!"

Kakuzu then threw a heavy right haymaker at Naruto; it connected dead with his face. This punch sent Naruto flying for several feet; Naruto quickly recomposed himself and landed behind a group of trees. He wiped the blood trickling from out his bottom lip and down onto his chin, onto his sleeve. He then quickly and silently performed the Shadow Clone jutsu, creating two more of himself. Two of the three Naruto's began silently making their way around, hoping to get behind Kakuzu. While the third Naruto came out from behind the trees and charged toward Kakuzu.

Kakuzu didn't know what his opponent had done, and he didn't care; he was too pissed off to locate any kind of deception or care for it. Kakuzu was extremely angry, so he was going to finish this now; he began forming a dozen or so hand signs. At the same time, one of the three Naruto's was hiding behind a nearby tree, gathering his chakra. Once he had gathered enough, he formed a dozen or so hand signs, put both of his hands into a claw shape, crouched down, and put them near the ground. Chakra began to appear around his hands; the chakra became more and more violent looking; it began to spin around Naruto's hands until finally, it turned into lightning. "Lightning Style: Hands of Death!"

Naruto quickly formed two Lightning Blades, stood up, and charged forward toward Kakuzu. Kakuzu noticed the second Naruto appear from behind a tree and was about to finish his hand signs and perform his most powerful jutsu, but before he could, the third Naruto appeared behind him and stuck him in a full nelson. Kakuzu tried to fight him off, and it was beginning to work, but Naruto was only seven feet away from him. Charging forward towards him with two Lightning Blades. "Shit!"

Earth Style jutsu is the last kind of jutsu you want to use to defend against lightning style jutsu. Before Kakuzu could dispel the jutsu, Naruto got close to him, and thanks to the lightning blades, he was able to slam both of his hands through Kakuzu's chest once again; they went straight through him and destroyed Naruto's own shadow clone in the process. Naruto had Destroyed one more of Kakuzu's hearts; Kakuzu's iron skin jutsu faded, and he slammed down onto his knees and passed out.

Naruto was about to finish him when another Kakuzu came from the corner; Naruto's eye widened as a foot slammed against his chest, sending him flying away.

Rolling around on the ground, Shikamaru walked up to him to help him stand up; Naruto saw two Kakuzu walking toward him.

"Two, What is going on?" Shikamaru asked, but at the same time, wondering if this was some kind of advanced clone jutsu.

Naruto, on the other hand, suddenly received the memories of his clone, a smirk on his face.

"It seems your friend is in trouble," Naruto said, smirking; Kakuzu knew who he was talking about. He concluded that he would need to stitch his head.

"That is not important; now you shall pain for destroying my hearts," Kakuzu stated, as both of them rushed towards Naruto, whose eyes turned to Mangekyo.

Hidan

He cursed; his body from waist down was sliced off, he was left like a worm on the ground, and his scythe was far away from his reach; he tried to crawl away as the green-haired brat marched towards him.

"You have no Sharingan; how?" Hidan screamed at the girl. It was not supposed to end like this.

"Naruto put a genjutsu in you the moment you made eye contact, back in the beginning," Fuu stated; Hidan's eye widened in horror. He thought that Genjutsu had already passed, but it seemed he had overestimated himself.

"You rely too much on your immortality; that has made you careless," Fuu stated as several blue and dark balls formed around her mouth.

Hidan, for the first time, felt fear; he saw the little balls forming a bigger black ball, a pure destructive chakra.

"Tailed Beast Bomb" the bomb made contact with his upper body, causing a massive explosion that evaporated every tree, grass, and stone nearby.
