*Swoosh* *Woosh* *Footsteps* *Clank*
The shinobi had dashed through the trees heading for the unsuspecting Akatsuki members. These groups meet each other in 10 minutes, and a fight would occur.
"Hey, Kakuzu. said Hidan. Kakuzu sighed and questioned what he wanted. "If you are sent to retrieve the 9-tails, will you be confident to take him down?" Kakuzu wondered and stated, "Of course I would, he's a copycat from what I've heard, he's most likely got a powerful jutsu ability but lacks experience in taijutsu. It'll be easy if I'm careful" Behind you, screamed Hidan!
The ninja plopped down to the ground as Shikamaru set up the hand signs for, "Shadow Possession No Jutsu!" Guys attack! As the shinobi were about to launch a sneak attack on the immobile Kakazu, a yellow blur came in.
"I guess I'll join, smirked Naruto as he stated Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall! Water Style: Great Flood Jutsu! Water Release: Multiple Water Dragon Bullet Technique! This leads to Hidan being stuck in an Earth dome while being barraged by the water dragons and drowning. That's one! "I have to get out of here, stated Kakazu. However, he heard: Compressed Rasengan!" The green aura/chakra coming from the Rasengan was vibrant as it pierced through Kakazu's hearts effectively killing him and decimating the ground for that matter."
"Wow, he's changed, murmured some of the Shinobi who knew Naruto when he was a genin." Naruto apologized to Shikamura and said, "Sorry for taking your spotlight, I was just bored and happened to sense them."
"Wait! Naruto, stated Shikamaru as he held his arm out seeing his friend warp away." *Huff* *Puff* "I'm not used to Kamui yet, I used 20 times the chakra needed, said Naruto as he appeared before Kakashi. Kakashi wiped off his sweat as he didn't realize his mangekyou could do that."
On the other side:
Shikamaru had tested to see if Hidan was still breathing. He was surprised to find out that he wasn't fully dead.
"Hey kid, stated Asuma sensei as he looked at Shikamaru while liting up his cigar. Shikamaru waited there with patience. After Asuma finished his smoke, he stated "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." as he saw how useless Shikamaru felt in that encounter.
In Konoha:
"Good Job, shinobi. You may rest, stated Tsunade to those involved in the mission." *That's our first victory against these Akatsuki. I'm going to need Jiraiya to do some more research on them.*
