Chapter 12 - Naruto's Rage; Sharingan vs. Sharingan

 

“Sakura, Run!”

 

Those were his last words to her as the second tail finished forming, throwing Pain into the wall as he began to lose control. Sakura only looked on in horror as her attackers face hit the opposing cave wall with a sick thud. She quickly gathered her wits and tried to think rationally. It was then that she remembered the promise she made to him.

 

“Make me a promise Sakura-chan,” he said softly. “Promise me that you'll never leave my side in battle.”

 

Sakura leaned into his arms. She looked up at him with her tears finally shunned from her eyes. She felt safe once again in his tender embrace.

 

“Ok,” she said. “I promise.”

 

“Naruto!!!” she screamed. “I promised you! I'm not going to leave you, not again!”

 

Naruto turned and looked into her emerald eyes with his now crimson ones, and for a brief moment, she thought she saw a weak smile on his face. He quickly turned to block the right hand coming from his counter part, locked in a struggle for control over the battle, and over himself.

 

“After I weaken you,” said Pain, “I'm going to make her beg for mercy in front of your broken body!”

 

Naruto's gaze quickly intensified; hurling his enemy against the wall with all of his might as a third tail slowly began to form.

 

*********

 

Kakashi blocked another right hand from Tobi, ducking out of the way of his left, completely dodging the exposed kunai slashing at his head. He quickly grabbed Tobi's left arm and threw him over his shoulder, only to have him land on his feet.

 

With in an instant, they both made the exact same hand signs, yelling out in unison, “Fire style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!” Two massive balls of fire collided creating a horrendous flurry of flames, leaving both men shielding there eyes.

 

When the flames died down, both men were out of breath. “It seems you would have been nothing without my eye,” mocked Tobi. “No wonder your nickname was the `Copy Ninja'. It looks like that's all you can do, copy me. Just like the way you stole Rin.”

 

“I already told you,” said an infuriated Kakashi, pulling out a scroll as he bit his thumb, “don't bring her INTO THIS!!!!!!” He slammed his hands down to the ground. “EARTH TRACKING FANG JUTSU!!!”

 

Instantly, the earth began to quake underneath them. Suddenly, eight dogs broke through the earth, ready to hold their target in place. Tobi would have been caught, if not for his sharingan, allowing him to dodge the ferocious dogs only by the skin of his teeth. “Truly impressive. You all most had me there. But don't take me as a fool.”

 

Tobi then made his own hand signs. “Fire Style: Flame Dragon Jutsu!” A flaming dragon swirled around him, then headed straight for Kakashi. It hit Kakashi dead on, setting him in a blaze of fire. Tobi smirked behind his mask, until he saw the Shadow Clone poof away. `No, that's impossible! How did I…'

 

“Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!” he heard from behind. Tobi had mire seconds to react, dodging the massive ball of fire that singed some of the hair on his head.

 

*****

 

Pain was some how able to make a substitution before hitting the wall, escaping the Jinchuuriki's massive claw. With the seconds he had left, he bit his thumb and made hand signs. “Summoning Jutsu!” within seconds, Naruto was surrounded by two other replicas of his adversary just as his third tail had formed.

 

Naruto struggled to keep control, becoming more and more primal with each passing second. His teeth grew sharper, his hair becoming more wild, and his eyes and whisker marks becoming darker shades of there respective colors. He then let out a huge roar of chakra, sending all three of the Pains flying through the air, only to have them land on their feet.

 

As the battle grew on, so did Naruto's inner battle to maintain control over the Kyuubi. It began to gnaw at his psyche. “Come on Naruto.” he sinisterly mocked. “You need my power to defeat your enemy. Release this seal and I will empower with all of my chakra.”

 

`No!' Naruto shot back. `I won't let you out! I can do this on my own!'

 

“But he threatened that human girl of yours. What will happen to her when you realize you do not have the power to save her?”

 

Naruto looked down at the now pooling water her was standing in. `I…I can save her on my own. I don't need you to take over.' He looked up at the demon more determined than before. `I Won't Let You Take Over!'

 

The Nine Tails' anger grew quickly at the boys' defiance. “LISTEN TO ME YOU RUNT! YOU WILL RELEASE ME FROM THIS INFERNAL PRISON NOW!!!” His tone became less angry and more of the sinisterly calm it was earlier. “How are you going to live with yourself when you find her dead in your arms?”

 

This struck a nerve inside Naruto's heart. He grabbed his shirt just above his heart and clenched it tightly in his fist. He looked down to see the level of water that was up to mid shin was now up to his waist and drastically climbing. “Are you willing to take that risk? Will you be able to heal and survive if she dies?” Naruto looked up at the Fox's crimson eyes with his deep sky blue ones. The water slowed up around his chest.

 

The young Jinchuuriki grabbed the two replicas in his mighty left chakra claw, covering both of their heads and hurling them into the wall with such impact it made the whole layer shake and quake. He held them pinned and struggling against the wall as he prepared a Rasenshuriken in his right hand as the real Pain came charging in. He was caught in a flash by the Rasenshuriken, taking the full extent of the damage into the chest, sending him flying into the wall. He couldn't hold the summon any longer upon impact, and the two replicas disappeared.

 

Sakura looked over at him smiling as the two replicas disappeared, but it was short lived as she looked over to see Naruto clutching his head, looking as if he was writhing in pain. “Naruto!!!” she cried out as she quickly ran over to him. “Are You Okay? Here, let me heal you,” but he was moving so much she couldn't get a hold of him.

 

“S—Sa—kura,” he whimpered out in a half demon half human voice, “Go…get…Yamato.” As soon as he forced out those words, Sakura knew what was happening. She backed away in shock as he threw his head back in pain. His eyes finally opened to reveal pale colorless white ones. Blood began to coat his body from the fur that began to grow out of his skin, and from the ill affects of the charka shroud. The fourth tail had finally formed.

 

*****

 

The two Sharingan ninja battled back and forth, Kakashi mirror imaging Tobi, doing every jutsu his former teammate did at exactly the time with pinpoint accuracy. Both ninja both threw a right hand at the others head and caught it with there left respectively. The two struggled with one another to gain control over the battle. “As you said once before,” mocked Tobi, “the Uchiha Clan are an elite clan of ninja…” he began to push Kakashi back. “and being apart of that clan, I'LL DEFEAT YOU TO PROVE IT!!!!”

 

The two jumped back from each other, making similar hand signs. “Fire Style; Phoenix Flower Jutsu!!!” they shouted in unison. Both men then sent out bursts of flames at each other, crashing into the others attack and sparking on impact making a cloud of smoke between them. Tobi became frustrated and couldn't hold in his frustrations anymore. “STOP FUCKING COPYING ME YOU BASTARD!!!”

 

Kakashi didn't smile in his usually mocking manner; instead he just looked over at the man before him, frustrated and angry at his former teammate. “Then Why Don't I Use A Jutsu From Our Former Sensei!!” he yelled as a swirl of chakra began to form in his right hand. In a flash he charged at his former teammate with the small sphere in his right hand.

 

`That can't be…' thought Tobi. `I have to dodge it or I'm done for.' He jumped into the air seconds before Kakashi's attack would have made impact. “That was a nice try,” he mocked at he dodge the attack, but it was short lived as he saw the Shadow Clone holding the Rasengan poofed into a cloud of smoke. `What!?! A Shadow Clone!?! But how? Where…?' He got his answer when he looked above as the Rasengan connected with his back.

 

Tobi spit up blood into the inside of his mask from the pain of the attack that sent him crashing down into the earth. Kakashi landed just above him and grabbed him by the collar of his cloak. He looked into his enemy's eye, searching for some trace of his former teammate; of his former friend. “I was right, you were nothing like your father,” coughed Tobi. “You're able to strike down your own teammate.” Kakashi looked harder into his eye as he remembered that painful day; what his former teammate said to him.

 

“Fine then,” said Obito, “from the beginning you and I were like water and oil. I'm going to rescue Rin!” He shoved Kakashi as he began to walk away. Kakashi shrugged him off, still obeying the rules and regulations of the mission.

 

“You Still Don't Understand Anything!” he said sternly. “What Happens To Those Who Don't Follow The Rules…”

 

“I believe that the `White Fang' was a true hero.” Kakashi just stood there; in shock and aw of his teammates words. “Of course,” he continued, “those in the ninja world who break the rules and regulations are called trash. But those who don't care about their companions are even worse then trash. Anyway, if I'm that kind of trash, I'll break the rules! If that's not being a true shinobi then I'll crush that idea of a SHINOBI!”

 

Ever since that moment, Kakashi adopted the motto “I will not allow my comrades to die! That is an absolute”. He kept staring at his former teammate intently as his anger grew and grew. “No,” he said, breaking the silence between them. “My teammate died that day. You're nothing more but an empty shell, and I will end this once and for all.”

 

Tobi looked at him determined, knowing full well that this could be the end for him. “Fine Then!” he shouted. “If you're gonna kill me then go ahead; Do It! Get it over with. End It! Just remember that I will never forgive you for leaving me behind. Never forgive you for…for taking Rin AWAY FROM ME!!!”

 

Kakashi looked away from his enemy in disgust. If his foe only knew how much he meant to her after that day; if he could have only known what Kakashi said to her after they left him behind.

 

“Rin…” he said, picking up his sensei's kunai that he had received just a few hours ago, “I'll handle these guys. While I'm doing that, escape.”

 

She looked at him sorrowfully, tears starting to swell up in her eyes. “But…”

 

“I'll look after you for Obito,” he interrupted, “Because of that; I'll protect you even if I die.”

 

She sat behind him in utter shock and speechlessness. “Kakashi…!”

 

“Rin, Obito liked you…loved you. You were important to him. Because of that, I'll protect you through life and death.”

 

Rin looked down, shaking after being affected to deeply by her teammate's words as the tears fell down her face. But she found the courage to finally come clean to him. “Then Kakashi! My Feelings…!”

 

“I…!” he interrupted again, “I was once the kind of trash that would abandon you.” Rin looked down in disgust as she began to cry harder. The Rock Ninja began to descend upon the two young shinobi. “GO RIN!!”

 

“YOU'RE WRONG!!!” yelled Kakashi at his adversary. His eyes now filled with anger and fury as he pulled him inches away from his face. “The Day You Died Was The WORST DAY IN OUR LIVES, ESSPEACIALLY HERS!!! AFTER YOU DIED THEY CAME AFTER US!! I TOLD HER HOW YOU FELT ABOUT HER, AND HOW SHE COULD NEVER LOVE THE PERSON WHO ABANDONED HER!!”

 

He looked down in disgust at himself for his actions that day, his voice now becoming an eerily calm. “After your death, she was never the same. She refused to go on missions. She couldn't work at the hospital anymore because all she thought about was you. I tried to comfort her, but she never open up to me.” He looked into his former teammate's eye again with more determination. “SHE KILLED HERSELF A MONTH LATER BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!!”

 

He made a familiar set of hand signs and held out his right hand and regained his composer, never taking his eyes off his enemy for a second. It began to chirp and spark as the chakra overflowed out of his hand. “But this is where it ends. And it will end with the only jutsu in my arsenal that I didn't copy. The one jutsu that you helped perfect. This ends NOW!!”

 

*****

 

The four-tailed Naruto now looked upon his broken enemy. By this time a fifth tail was beginning to form, and Naruto maintained little control over the Kyuubi and was losing whatever control he had left. The jinchuuriki started to destroy and dismember the Akatsuki leader piece by piece.

 

He grabbed his left arm into his mouth and began to yank it out it's socket. Pain cried and yelled out in utter pain as the flesh around his shoulder began to slowly rip away. He heard a pop as the ligaments in his shoulder ripped and tore away until finally his flesh gave way and his are was ripped off of his body. Blood splatter everywhere as Pain cried out in horror.

 

His right arm was the next target for the jinchuuriki and it followed suit in similar fashion. As the flesh gave way, Naruto let out a loud roar that was heard by everybody as the fifth tail finally finished forming. Naruto grabbed Pain by the chest and through his limp body against the statue with such impact, it caused the statue to crack. Pain fell to the floor with a sinking thud as his body was a bloody mess.

 

However the young jinchuuriki was not done. He picked up the limp body by the shoulder and back, and began to pull them apart. Pain screamed in agony as he felt his body begin to split apart. The bones that made up the Akatsuki leaders torso began to crack and break. The only thing now holding Naruto back from tearing the body apart was the mans flesh.

 

Pain let out one final scream before his body finally split apart, his internal organs and blood spilling all over the floor underneath him. Naruto let out another horrific roar as he held half of pains body in each hand. When he finally dropped the two pieces down to the ground, it was clear to everyone… Pain was dead.

 

*****

 

Sakura was fighting her way to Yamato when she realized that the remaining Akatsuki members began to flee the layer. Then she heard it; the roar that Naruto let out was deafening. She covered her ears and looked back to see her love now in his five-tailed state. She looked in horror as he dropped the broken body to the ground. `I have to find him now!' she thought and she ran frantically looking for Yamato.

 

She looked to her right and saw him looking in horror at the Jinchuuriki. “Captain Yamato!” she screamed as she ran toward him and tugged o his arm. He finally acknowledged her and looked at her worried.

 

“Sakura…” he stammered out.

 

“Captain Yamato, We Have To Help Him Now!”

 

“Sakura, I don't know if I can stop him.”

 

“I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK!! ALL CARE ABOUT IS IF WE TRY!!” He looked at the young kunoichi. She was close to tears, but her expression was strong and determined. “WE HAVE TO TRY!!!”

 

He looked at her dead in her determined emerald eyes that never wavered. He nodded to her. “Ok, but we'll have to work fast.”

 

*****

 

Kakashi steadied the Chidori his right hand as he raised it up into the air. “Forgive me…Rin,” he said as he prepared to plunge it into Tobi's heart. Tobi looked behind Kakashi and saw the five-tailed Jinchuuriki destroying his leader.

 

Tobi saw this as his one shot for survival. “Well Kakashi, it looks like you have a choice to make,” he said mockingly. Kakashi looked at him as he was puzzled by his enemy's words. “Kill me, or save your student?”

 

Kakashi looked behind him in time to see a five-tailed Naruto let out a bone chilling roar as he ripped the Akatsuki leader in half. `Oh dear god no!' he thought. He looked back at Tobi only to see a puff of smoke dissipate from where his target used to be. He threw the Chidori deep into the ground in disgust at his actions, allowing his former teammate to escape. But he quickly regained his composer. He knew was his new task was…saving Naruto.
