NARUTO:The sealed shinobi.-Chapter 166: CH

The mask quickly dashed off towards Naruto before swirling around and making a whirlwind that it seemed to be compressing in place before finally letting the glowing pressurized wind go. The force of the released attack sent Naruto flying off rapidly through the arid landscape.

Naruto exploded out of the sand that buried him and glared at the mask that was coming his way once again. He pulled the sword from his back and leapt forward, his tails of chakra propelling him forward. The wind mask attempted to meet him head on but with a simple shift of movement with his chakra tails, he barrel rolled aside and kept blasting through the sand to head back towards Hidan and Kakuzu.

Kakuzu had just finished sewing the gaping wound on Hidan's chest shut, amid much swearing and death threats. As a dust cloud rushed towards the two men, Kakuzu's eyes widened , "Uh oh, you're going to want to move." With that he jumped out of the way.

"Damn it you know I'm slower than you Kakuzu-." And once again Hidan ended up taking the brunt of Naruto's wrath, this time getting his head cleaved clean off. Not stopping to check over his handiwork, he moved on to the deceptively fast Kakuzu.

As Kakuzu backpedaled through the sands he made a snake hand seal that turned his visible skin darker, near black, "Doton: Domu (Earth Release: Earth Spear)" Naruto went to swing his blade at Kakuzu and watched in shock as he simply blocked with his forearm. He then barreled at punch and drilled Naruto in the face that sent him flying back once again. Kakuzu went back over to Hidan while Naruto was still reeling. He picked Hidan's head off of the ground, "And that's why you need to actually train to be faster instead of praying to your 'God'. Maybe then you wouldn't suck so badly."

The disembodied head of Hidan held a shocked lifeless face... for about three seconds before it snarled and tried to bite at Kakuzu, "Shut the hell up you heathen! With a gift like this from Jashin-sama why would I possibly need to be fast? I can survive anything."

Kakuzu walked back over to where Hidan's body had dropped, "I don't know, maybe because sewing your pathetic ass back together is getting repetitive. Untalented ninja should just die and yet you keep sticking around."

"Just shut up and put me back together already so I can tear that kid open!" Hidan snapped.

"It looks like he's the one tearing you open from what I've been watching." Kakuzu quipped.

From where he landed, Naruto picked himself up once more, 'That felt like getting hit with one of Tsunade-baachan's love taps. I really hope that he can't hit any harder than that or I'm in some trouble here.' He powered down and tried to keep a low profile as he crept around the battlefield to attempt some kind of tactic on them seeing as how brute force just wasn't working. At least he took out one of them.

Naruto formed over twenty Kage Bunshin and sent them out and around the perimeter of where he had been knocked away by Kakuzu. Naruto kept himself as concealed as he could as he peeked over a dune and almost bugged out at what he saw, Hidan was getting his head reattached to his body, and it was speaking the entire time. Naruto dropped down back out of sight and had to slap himself to see if he was hallucinating, a genjutsu maybe? No. Maybe that last shot concussed him? No, he'd be over it by now as long as he had been generating two tails of the Kyuubi's chakra. Putting aside the thought of how the man could still be alive after being beheaded, how in the world was he still speaking? Didn't he sever some important cords in his throat when he CUT HIS HEAD OFF!

Cutting off someone's head is checkmate, period. Naruto had fought like this, had been trained like this since day one. It was the single most definite way he knew of to finish his opponents off. Now that he seemingly couldn't kill this guy even after shoving his entire arm through his chest, even after severing his head from his shoulders, what could he possibly do to stop this guy?

The answer was simple, he would just have to cut and rend him into itty-bitty pieces. Let's see him sew the silver-haired bastard back together after that, but he still needed to get close for long enough to actually do it. That masked guy was no joke. To be able to hit him hard enough to actually harm him and hold him off when he was using the Kyuubi's chakra was a big deal. Naruto made a Kage Bunshin and dispelled it to send a message of his next move to the rest of them.

Kakuzu finished sewing Hidan's head back on, "There. It will be easier to decapitate you, but seeing as how the kid uses a sword if he cut through your neck with it you would be losing that empty skull of yours again anyway so I guess it doesn't matter."

From all around them a mass of shuriken flew into the air above them.

A slew of similar voices shouted, "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu)!" The amount of shuriken flying above their heads multiplied enough to partially shade the sun from view.

Kakuzu pulled Hidan back to his feet, "Hidan get moving now!"

"Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Lightning Shuriken)!" The voices yelled out.

Release:

Every shuriken hanging in the air rained down electricity onto the two men. Kakuzu was able to dodge all of the strikes and get himself out of the area of fire as the false shuriken dispelled and the real ones fell back down to the ground. Hidan ended up getting hit a few times due to the lightning rod he called a scythe in his hand, but aside from cursing about being hit he was no worse for wear.

Naruto's clones dispelled after using all of their chakra to power both of the ninjutsu they had just utilized, leaving Naruto alone on the battlefield once more, "All right then." Naruto moved from his hiding place at top speed in an effort to blindside Kakuzu or Hidan while they were still on edge from his last attack. However he had forgotten about something that he had left in the dust that came back with a vengeance when Kakuzu's wind mask burst from the ground nearby and smashed into him sending him flying into the air.

Both nuke-nin heard and saw the attack. Hidan licked his lips as he leapt into the air to meet Naruto on the way down with his scythe, "Here we go brat! I've been waiting to get my hands on you!"

Naruto saw him rising into the air as he descended, "Well keep on waiting, Fuuton: Kaze Wakiokoru (Wind Release: Wind Burst)." Naruto stepped on an invisible bubble of air that burst under him and launched him higher into the air, forcing Hidan's attack with his scythe to miss. Naruto used the extra space provided by his jutsu to go through a few hand-seals and link his fists together, "Fuuton: Fuujin Seiken (Wind Release: Divine Fist of the Wind God)!"
