Hidan was running down a path that led to a nearby village. “S*** I’m late. Kakuzu is probably going to hündin about how I didn’t get there in time to help him.” “You have bigger things to worry about than that.” Hidan looked over to his left and saw a sound ninja wearing glasses. “Who the hell are you?” The sound ninja pushed his glasses up on his face and exclaimed, “My name is Kabuto and I believe Du will be coming with me.” Hidan laughed. “Like some nerdy ninja can take me.” Hidan grabbed his scythe and swung at Kabuto, cutting him in half instantly. “F***! This guy was even wimpier then I thought.” Suddenly something came up from the ground and hit Hidan in his arms and legs rendering them useless. Hidan fell to the ground and looked up to see Kabuto who’s hands were glowing bright blue from chakra. “The fellow Du attacked was a product of my Dead Soul Technique. An ability that allows me to temporarily reanimate a corpse. Give them a little plastic surgery and they make great decoys.” Hidan looked over at the decoy. “Too bad for the corpse. Looking like Du must be a fate worse than death.” Kabuto picked up Hidan’s limp body and carried him off to Orochimaru’s base, explaining how he used a chakra scalpel to stop Hidan’s body movements. Meanwhile Kakuzu managed to pull off the robbery without Hidan and was carrying several heavy bags of money. “That stupid Hidan didn’t even bother to Zeigen up and help me carry these bags. When I see him I’m going to-” Kakuzu stopped when he saw Kabuto’s decoy still lying in the path from the fight with Hidan. Kakuzu knew if Hidan had won the fight he would still be there performing his rituals. He also knew Hidan is immortal so he was most likely captured. “I should probably go find him…” Kakuzu then remembered that there was a casino nearby and smiled greedily. “Then again he was late helping me so why not return the favor?” Kakuzu began walking in the direction of the casino. Meanwhile, at Orochimaru’s base, Kabuto’s hands were glowing bright green as he examined Hidan. “Hey would Du stop feeling me up Du pervy four-eyed f***!” Kabuto took a deep breath. “For the last time I am a doctor and I am examining Du to find the Quelle of your immortality for Lord Orochimaru.” Orochimaru then walked into Kabuto’s examining room. “Any luck yet Kabuto?” “No. His immortality doesn’t appear to be physical in nature.” Hidan let out a scream. “Oh Jashin! That is the nastiest looking hündin I’ve ever seen!” Orochimaru glared at Hidan. “I am Orochimaru dimwit, and for the record I am male.” Hidan looked at him Mehr closely. “Oh yeah. Du know for such a tough guy you’d think you’d get a nicer base. This place smells like a boot full of warm piss.” Kabuto thought to himself, “And I thought Naruto was annoying”. Orochimaru continued, “Would Du mind explaining how Du are immortal then Mr. Hidan?” Hidan laughed. “Like I’d ever reveal Jashin’s secret covenant to heathens.” Kabuto interrupted. “What if we told Du we wanted to be Jashinists?” Hidan thought for a moment. “Okay. I’ll explain the different rituals one at a time.” Kabuto grabbed a scroll to write them down as Orochimaru left with a sinister smile on his face. Meanwhile Kakuzu was at the casino and just Lost his last remaining wad of cash. He glared at the dealer of the blackjack tabelle and hardened his arm. “This game is rigged!” He slammed his hardened arm on the table, splitting it in two. Just then someone tapped on Kakuzu’s shoulder. He turned around to see Itachi and Kisame. He laughed nervously. “Hey guys.” Itachi stared at him. “You were supposed to be back an Stunde ago. Du were also supposed to bring the money back to the base after obtaining it.” Kisame looked around. “Where’s Hidan?” Kakuzu then explained how Hidan had been kidnapped and he was stalling as a way to punish him. Itachi rolled his eyes. “Well let’s go get him.” Meanwhile Orochimaru returned to the examination room and noticed Kabuto was gone. He looked at Hidan. “Where is Kabuto?” Hidan tilted his head to the right. Orochimaru glanced over and saw Kabuto hugging the garbage can with his face turned light green. “Did Du get the information?” Kabuto looked at Orochimaru. “Well yes and no. I threw up on the scroll and I may have passed out a few times from the descriptions.” Hidan smiled. “The nerd doesn’t have the stomach for Jashinism.” Kabuto kept his head firmly in the garbage can, which echoed his voice as he talked. “I may need to see a therapist after this Lord Orochimaru.” A sound ninja entered. “Lord Orochimaru! Two Akatsuki members are heading this way. One of them has the Sharingan.” Orochimaru’s eyes widened as he realized it had to be Itachi and a sinister smile stretched across his face. “What a delightful reunion this shall be.” As Itachi and Kisame ran towards the base, Orochimaru emerged from the ground a few yards in front of them. Kisame grabbed his Samehada and attempted to strike Orochimaru’s head, but the Sword of Kusanagi shot out of Orochimaru’s mouth stopping Samehada. Several snakes emerged from Orochimaru’s clothes causing Kisame to jump back to avoid being bitten. Kisame made some quick hand seals. “Water Style: Water hai Bullet!” A torpedo like projectile of water in the shape of a hai shot from Kisame’s mouth and hit Orochimaru. Kisame ran vorwärts-, nach vorn at Orochimaru and saw that he has shed his skin to avoid injury. Suddenly Orochimaru erupted from the ground beneath Itachi’s feet and Rapunzel – Neu verföhnt Itachi in his coils. “At last I have Du Itachi Uchiha.” Itachi looked at Orochimaru and said, “Not quite.” He then transformed, revealing himself to be Kakuzu in disguise. The wind mask emerged from Kakuzu before Orochimaru could react. “Wind Style: Pressure Damage!” Several orbs of compressed air hit Orochimaru, knocking him back a great distance. Orochimaru stood up, his face mask partially torn, as Kisame rushed to Kakuzu’s side. Orochimaru laughed. “You fools. It is when a snake appears cornered when he strikes his hardest.” Orochimaru laid on the ground. “Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!” Orochimaru’s mouth opened and countless black snakes emerged from it, some with blades sticking out of their mouths, rushing at Kisame and Kakuzu like a tidal wave. Kisame made Mehr hand seals. “Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!” A wave of water shot out of Kisame’s mouth only mildly slowing down the snakes as the two of them jumped onto the wind mask to fly away. As they did Kakuzu’s lightning mask emerged from him and shot a bolt of lightning at Kisame’s water, which acted as a conductor and electrocuted all the snakes and Orochimaru, causing a fiery explosion. Meanwhile Itachi arrived at Orochimaru’s hideout and was confronted Von Kabuto. Itachi spoke, “Stand aside. I don’t wish to fight you.” Kabuto smiled as several dead bodies in the examination room jumped up and stabbed Itachi with kunai. Itachi then turned into several crows and flew around Kabuto and the dead bodies with strings on their talons. They tied Kabuto and the bodies together as the real Itachi revealed himself from the shadows. “Fire Style: feuer Ball Jutsu!” Itachi set Kabuto and the bodies ablaze as he grabbed Hidan and rushed out with him. “About time Du assholes showed up.” Itachi ignored him as he met up with the others. Kisame waved as he saw Itachi coming and explained all that happened. “So do Du think we killed those punks Itachi. Itachi hesitated for a moment. “Not likely. Orochimaru is a sannin and Kabuto is a very gifted medical ninja. They’ll be back.” Hidan rolled his eyes. “If they f*** with us again we will just beat the s*** out of them.” Kakuzu looked at Hidan then at Kisame and Itachi. Kakuzu whispered, “Why did we save him again?”
