------------------------
"Dust Release: Mass Extinction Ray,"
The stitches around Kakuzu's mouth snap. The condensed dust release chakra takes the shape of a cone and discharges into an ultra-fast beam toward Naruto.
The beam engulfs Naruto within it.
"Brat! Die for me."
Kakuzu's hoarse voice echoes from the side holes in his mouth.
"Tailed beast Rasenshuriken,"
Three orange chakra arms appear behind Naruto. An immensely dense sphere of blue and red chakra orbs gathers in the chakra arms. One of the chakra arms handles the shape transformation and shapes it into a sphere. The second arm adds wind nature to the dense-tailed beast ball.
Swirl swirl
A spiral of wind gathers around the tailed beast ball and forms a giant wind shuriken around it.
The Third Chakra arm holds the jutsu in place by stabilizing the surrounding chakra.
Haah
Naruto destroys the lighting-yin grudge fusion as the chakra arm smashes the tailed beast Rasenshuriken in the dust release beam.
BOOM
A massive sphere of white energy shrouds the entire battlefield. A massive, turbulent wavelike vortex of red and blue energy pushes rips through the white beam of the dust release and heads towards Kakuzu.
"It can't be this chakra"
For the first time during the battle, Kakuzu feels a sense of fear.
"I have to I have to avoid it all costs. If not, I will certainly die!"
Swoosh swoosh
Four shadow clones appear beside Kakuzu and grab his body, preventing him from escaping.
"When did he"
A memory flashes through Kakuzu's mind as he recalls Naruto's earlier shadow clones.
"He set me up. The weapons of those clones were also shadow clones using transformation jutsu to transform into kunais."
The red vortex of the chakra engulfs Kakuzu's body.
Poof poof poof
Naruto's clones disperse from the attack.
BOOM
A massive red spherical vortex of chakra engulfs the surrounding forest and hill. Within the vortex, razor-sharp red blades pierce through Kakuzu's body. The jutsu obliterates his entire body into dust, not even ashes are left behind.
Phew
An exhausted Naruto falls to the ground.
"I might not be lacking in combat prowess and chakra, but I am lacking in combat experience. I will relax a little to recover some chakra."
Naruto plops on the ground.
------------------------------
On the other side of the village,
Sasuke confronts Hidan. He recalls the information about the immortal Akatsuki member Hidan.
'According to the information collected by Izuna Nii-san, this guy is semi-immortal. Any physical or ninjutsu attack will only cause temporarily harm to him. He can survive even after his head is beheaded. The only effective way is to seal him.
Also, I have to beware of his curse technique. If I lose even a single drop of blood, he can use it to cast a blood-controlling puppet curse on me. During this time, any fatal wound he inflicts on himself will reflect on me.'
Sasuke sorts the information and formulates a combat strategy against Hidan.
'The information about him might be accurate, but it's almost five years old. I have to take some uncertain factors into my consideration. Five years is a lot to learn, many new techniques. I have to avoid any contact with him at all costs.'
Sasuke wields a kunai in his left hand and the Kusanagi blade in his right hand.
"Ah Haha"
Hidan laughs hysterically.
"Let's savor the utmost of suffering together!"
Swoosh
Hidan takes a step forward and in the next instant, he appears in front of Sasuke with his scythe aimed at Sasuke's neck.
"He's fast!"
Clang
Sasuke deflects the scythe with his kunai.
Ding Ding
Sasuke and Hidan engage in close combat. Sasuke deflects multiple attacks from Hidan and slashes his body with the Kusanagi blade, inflicting multiple blade wounds on Hidan's body.
Slash
He slashes Hidan's neck with his Kusanagi blade.
Ding
Hidan parries Sasuke's blade with a dagger. He rotates his dagger in his palm and stabs it toward Sasuke's legs.
Swoosh
Sasuke jumps back and avoids the dagger. Hidan's dagger stabs into the ground.
"Hehe you are pretty good, but"
A smirk appears on Hidan's face.
Spurt
Blood spurts out from a cut on Sasuke's face.
"What? How? I am sure I dodged it."
Sasuke wipes the blood from his face
'How did he hit me?'
Hmm
He narrows his eyes and notices the blade stabbed in the shadow.
'He stabbed my shadow, and the damage reflected on my body.'
Hehe
'Curse Technique: Pain inflicting Possessed Shadow'
He lifts his dagger and stabs it toward Sasuke's shadow.
Swoosh
Sasuke jumps back and narrowly avoids his shadow from being pierced.
'He stabbed me and made me bleed, which means he has my blood.'
Sasuke glances at Hidan's dagger.
'There is no blood in it, but how? Wait he didn't directly stab me, he stabbed my shadow.'
Shiing
Sasuke activates his Sharingan and pays attention to Hidan's movements.
'He has yet to reveal all of his techniques. I was careless the first time, I have to pay more attention. I will maintain my distance and use long-range jutsu against him.'
Swoosh
Sasuke retreats further and makes some quick hand signs.
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique,"
Sasuke spits out a gigantic fire dragon towards Hidan.
Roar
The fire dragon engulfs Hidan and drowns him in a firestorm.
"Hot! Hot! Damn it, I don't like the feeling of being roasted alive!"
Hidan walks out of the jutsu unscathed. He shrugs off the remnants of fire from his slightly charred body. A portion of his charred skin is regenerating at an immense speed. His Akatsuki robe has turned into cinders to reveal a priest's robe beneath them.
"Lightning Release: Chidori Raikiri Spear,"
Sasuke throws out a giant lighting spear toward Hidan.
Stab
The lightning spear pierces through Hidan's heart.
Bleurgh
Hidan pukes out blood from his mouth as he holds the lightning spear in his hand.
"This this is the feeling. It hurts good. This feeling of pain this is best!"
Kuhaha
He pukes out another mouthful of blood on the ground. He pulls out the lightning spear from his body and destroys it with his hands.
"Our suffering and pain shall be mutual!"
Clap
Hidan claps his palm and makes a ritual circle on the ground with the blood he puked earlier. He draws the Jashin symbol with two inverted triangles crisscrossing each other on the ground.
"Cursed Possession: Death Reaper Form,"
Hidan gains a reaper-like appearance with black skin and white bone markings all over his body.
"Death is the ultimate destiny of every living thing! And Lord Jashin is the one who lords over it."
Swoosh
Hidan steps forward and disappears from Sasuke's sight. Sasuke looks around with his Sharingan.
"Where is he? Where he could be?"
"I am right beside you!"
Hidan jumps out from Sasuke's shadow and attacks him with his scythe.
Swoosh
Sasuke jumps back and avoids the fatal blow from the scythe. A grin appears on Hidan's face.
'Not good! My shadow"
Stab
Hidan stabs the short dagger through Sasuke's shadow.
Spurt
A hole appears in Sasuke's shoulder.
Argh
Sasuke moans in pain and jumps back to retreat.
"You think you can run from me?"
Whoosh
Hidan disappears from Sasuke's sight and reappears from his shadow.
Slash
He slashes Sasuke's neck with his scythe.
Clang
Sasuke deflects the scythe with one hand and punches Hidan's body with the other.
Bang
A fist mark appears on Hidan's stomach as Sasuke's punch pushes him back.
Bleurgh
Sasuke pukes out a mouthful of blood as a similar punch mark appears on his stomach. His fist also turns black as some sort of toxin spread through it.
'Damn it! I can't even touch him in that form. Any physical attack I deal on him is reflected on me.'
Sasuke takes out a detoxification pill from his storage and eats it to detoxify the poison.
"Haha it hurts good, doesn't it? Your attacks turned against you?"
Hidan creeps into the ground and disappears from his position.
"Not again!"
Shiing
"Mangekyo Sharingan,"
A pattern of three intersecting red ellipses appears in his eyes.
"Amaterasu,"
Blood leaks from Sasuke's eyes as he burns his own shadow.
Argh Aah
Hidan jumps out of his shadow with his entire body shrouded by black flames.
At the same time,
Rumble Rumble
The ground beneath him trembles. A gigantic black Tai Chi symbol appears on the ground. He raises his head and notices a similar white Tai Chi symbol in the sky.
"This is not good!"
Swoosh
He turns around and escapes out of the giant formation.
Rumble Rumble
The ground where he was previously standing rises from the ground and floats around the eight massive planetary bodies.
Rumble rumble
The ground split apart as the entire Konoha floats in the sky.
"Such a powerful technique"
Sasuke's eyes widen to the core.
