Akatsuki Attack pt 2

Kakashi knew he had to prepare for the worst so he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan ready for anything. "Well, what a surprise, that's how you copied my jutsu. So there really is someone besides Itachi with those crazy eyes," said Kisame.

"I assume that bizarre excuse for a sword is one of the seven swords of this mist. The one called Shark Skin," said Kakashi. "I heard that you and Zabuza fought not too long ago, I'm surprised you're not dead. He's one hell of a killer," Kisame said with a laugh.

Kakashi grabbed his kunai, "Go ahead I'd love to cut you up!" "Kisame. Stop it, if you fight him it won't be without cost, furthermore, it will take time, and the commotion will likely bring others," said Itachi, wary of Kakashi.

"Don't lose sight of our goal, Kisame." "What exactly is your goal?" asked Kakashi not expecting an answer. "We are looking for something and we know it's here," said Itachi, looking not worried at all. "And what would that be? What is it that you're looking for?" "My way is more efficient than Kisame's," responded Itachi.

Itachi took out four shurikens and before he did anything Kakashi made a water wall, it seemed he was afraid. "Your good, you almost predicted my moves Kakashi, almost." Suddenly Kakashi was stabbed in the back by an Itachi clone.

Kakashi then turned into water, "A water clone, huh," said Kisame, impressed that Kakashi could read Itachi. Kakashi ran to get Kurenai out of the way of Itachi's attacks, "You read me again, good job."

"For not being an Uchiha you have mastered the Sharingan well. However, not being one of us you lack our physical strength. And that's something you can't copy," said Itachi. "I will show you what a true Uchiha can do with their Sharingan."

Itachi's Sharingan began to evolve, "It's the Mangekyou Sharingan close your eyes!" the other jonin closed their eyes and Kakashi stood eye to eye, Sharingan to Sharingan. "You are impressive but you cannot beat my strongest jutsu, the Tsukuyomi."

Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan Kakashi couldn't resist the power of the Tsukuyomi and fell under the genjutsu. He was suddenly hung from a cross and couldn't move, "In the Tsukuyomi, I can control both time and space at my will," Itachi then stabbed a sword into Kakashi.

Kakashi coughed out blood, "I can even control physical mass, the next 72 hours will be nothing but this, over and over." Itachi said this while shoving sword after sword into Kakashi. Kakashi suddenly saw himself multiple times in this genjutsu.

'Keep calm, it's only a genjutsu' thought Kakashi, "Think this is a mere illusion will do you no good. Pain is pain, call it what you will. Soon there were 100 Itachi's all with blades ready to stab Kakashi. The torture felt like it had gone on for days, "Good job, you have survived 1 second."

Hundreds of swords pierced Kakashi making him vomit a mountain of blood. After what felt like days more he was released from the genjutsu, he instantly fell to his knees then to the floor completely.

"Kakashi what happened, can we open our eyes?" "No, not now." Kakashi couldn't stay awake for much longer. Kisame appeared next to Itachi, "you know overusing those eyes is bad." all the jonin were in a bad place at the moment.

Suddenly Guy jumped down saving them. "You guys get Kakashi to safety, I can handle them, I called the ANBU, they are on their way." the others nodded, grabbed Kakashi, and left. Kisame was ready to battle with Guy but Itachi made him stop. "We are leaving now, the ANBU has been called." Kisame and Itachi then left.

At the Ramen shop an ANBU member suddenly ran in, "Lord Hokage, Itachi Uchiha has attacked Kakashi Hatake and he is in serious condition!" Jiraiya turned around quickly, "Take me to him immediately, Naruto you come too." They both were soon in the medical room, Kakashi was unconscious.

"What is the situation," asked Jiraiya. The medic looked at her papers, "He has been unresponsive to any medical treatment so far and at this point we don't know what to do." "They're strong but for now it looks like Naruto is safe," siad Guy.

Asuma blew out some smoke, "That's what I don't get. It doesn't add up. I mean they already broke into the village, it should have been easy for them to find Naruto if they wanted," everyone had to agree it didn't add up. "Yeah and Itachi already knows Naruto's face."

Guy told them all to be quiet, Sasuke then walked in, "Kakashi! Why is Kakashi asleep and why is this room full of jonin," asked Sasuke who felt something off again. Guy played it off as nothing, "Kakashi called us over but turns out he's sleep so we're just waiting."

Sasuke didn't buy it but he couldn't do anything, before he left a random jonin barged in, "Okage is it true Itachi Uchiha has returned and he's looking for Naruto?" Suddenly Sasuke had a lot of killing intent. "Guy knock him out," Guy then cleanly chopped the back of his neck. "Why did I do that Lord Hokage?" Jiraiya sighed, "Sasuke going after Itachi at his level will prove to be more trouble than we can handle, plus the kid is already in a bad mental state, having Itachi destroy him will not help."

The others had to agree that nothing good would come from this, "Now considering Kakashi is not responsive to any medical treatment, Me and Naruto will go find Tsunade to bring her back." the others nodded, Guy was also told to keep watch on Sasuke and make sure he didn't go anywhere.

"What are we going to do about the attackers?" asked Asuma, "The village is in no condition to send out ninja capable of fighting them, the enemy is known as the Akatsuki. From what I know they are hunting tailed beasts," Said Jiraiya, informing them about the enemy. They understood what this meant, now they knew why they were after Naruto.

Naruto went back home and packed a few things for the trip, his apartment was empty and silent meaning the Hokages were still not there. Naruto packed clothes, weapons, scrolls, and armor just in case.

After packing up he met with Jiraiya, "So where are we headed first?" "We are stopping by an outpost near the village, I hope to get some information. On this trip, you are going to learn 2 things. The 1st is knowing how to get information, and the 2nd is you are going to create different types of Rasengan for different situations," now that the Akatsuki have made their move Jiraiya needed to make Naruto stronger fast.

I changed a few things from the original here, and this is one of the chapters that could completely change the story. For a fight let's go Itachi and Kisame vs Nagato and Obito, both Nagato and Itachi are healthy, who wins and why?
