40 Akatsuki: First contac (2/2)

Kakuzu: ”Do you think a measly earth dome and a clone can stop me?”

Saito's clone didn't talk only smiled. Using his nature release he created a small spark.

Before Kakuzu could react he heard.

Clone: ”Dust explosion.”

Using Lightning the clone created a spark igniting all the fine practices in the air that fell from the dome's inner walls, what followed was a crazy explosion Kakuzu couldn't dodge it and found himself taking the full burn of the attack. The clone was destroyed as well.

Meanwhile Saito finally joined with Fu and co, Fu already activated her chakra cloak. And was facing off against Hidan.

Hidan was agile and dodged all attacks while deflecting some of them his attire was torn but he didn't look hurt. Saito found one of Fu's teammates dead stabbed through the heart.

Saito: ”Fu what's the situation.”

Fu: ”That guy is immortal, our attacks couldn't kill him, when we managed to stab him in the heart he brushed it as if it's nothing. He then took blood from Kegon then after drawing a circle on the ground he stabbed himself in the heart but instead of dying Kegon's heart was pierced then he died.”

Hidan: ”Where is Kakuzu?”

Saito: ”Dead.”

Hidan started laughing maniacally.

Hidan: ”You will make an excellent sacrifice to lord Jashin.”

Saito was angry he hated it when people talked about sacrifing and killing living creatures for ridiculous reasons and in his eyes this Hidan guy was just a crazy person who loved torturing people.

Saito: ”Fu stand back.”

Fu moved back.

Saito: ”So you are proud of being immortal.”

Hidan jumped at him using his full speed swinging his scythe.

Fu: ”Careful.”

Saito was boiling with rage, he was usually a peaceful person and during his travels he never acted violently but he always loses it when he see's people suffer or people playing god. He wants to end this directly. He activated his third phase keeping it at third gate. Hidan was attacking when suddenly his target disappeared and soon he was hit with something so strong that half of his body disappeared. Hidan fell to the ground he was still alive but his body can't move he lost half of his body.

Saito went back from his third phase to his first. The torn muscles where healing at a visible crazy fast speed he slowly approached what was left of Hidan.

Saito: ”So mister immortal what should I do with you?”

The only reason Saito didn't erase him from existence is to gather Intel about the inner workings of the Akatsuki.

Just as he was ready to reach out to grab Hidan from his hair. He felt killing intent, and directly moved back.

The place he was standing in was assaulted by a sharp jet of water.

And then Kakuzu appeared near Hidan.

Hidan: ”Kakuzu you bastard! You are late.”

Kakuzu: ”Hidan, the mission is a failure we should head back.”

Before Saito made his move Kakuzu and Hidan disappeared using Body Flicker. Saito tried looking for them but they already escaped, he couldn't understand how Kakuzu survived the Dust explosion.

Saito turned towards Fu.

Saito: ”We should move fast they might call for reinforcement.”

Fu nodded. Saito warped Kegon's body in a white cloth and stored his body in scroll. Fu and her other teammate Yoro were sad at Kegon's death but they knew thatthey need to move.

Saito and his companions resumed their travel moving as fast as they could.
