Akatsuki moves
The next day, people gathered in front of the execution stand to witness the execution of the elders. After learning the truth, the villagers were sad that they treated the son of the 4th Hokage badly because of a rumor created by Danzo and blamed the Third Hokage for not clearing the misunderstanding. Many of the villagers also personally apologised to Naruto. Naruto didn't mind and said that the past is the past and he doesn't hold any grudge against them and he will protect the village. People were happy hearing this and their view of Naruto made a 180degree turn and they started praising him.
Finally the advisors were executed. The root shinobis were captured. Naruto did his best to remove the seals placed on them and they were all sent to rehabilitation to recover their mental state under Ibiki morino. Months passed by. The Third Hokage's face in the rock was removed. The search for Danzo was going on. Naruto became a fullfledged Jonin and team Kakashi containing Naruto, Kakashi and Sakura was appointed to search for Danzo as well. Karin was appointed as the chief of the medical unit to train medical ninja for every team. As the old fools were dealt with, Tsunade got to pass on her scheme of having a medical ninja in every team.
One day in the morning Tsunade was sitting at her desk doing paperwork, she received a message that a monk from the fire temple requested an audience with her. She let him inside. The monk entered the Hokage's office and knelt down and said "Hokage sama, two members of the Akatsuki attacked the fire temple. We request your assistance to deal with them". Tsunade said "So, the Akatsuki has started to move. Call the available jonins." and frowned. On the top of the Hokage's office, Tsunade met Asuma, shikamaru, kotetsu and Izumo. She said "The Akatsuki has made their move and attacked the fire temple. This monk here has requested our help in dealing with them. I want to know what is their motive. We must not let them rampage any further. So make sure they don't escape the fire country border. Any questions?".
Asuma raised his hands and asked "What happened to Chiriku?" The monk shook his head and replied "Lord Chiriku died by their hands". Asuma opened his eyes wide and the team left to the fire temple. Tsunade thought 'I hope everything goes well. I have a bad feeling about this. Naruto and Kakashi are out tracking Danzo's wearabouts so I had to send Asuma's team'. Team Asuma left the village and while travelling, he explained to shikamaru that chiriku was his comrade when he was a guardian of the temple. After travelling for a while, they found the Akatsuki members.
Kurenai had a bad feeling as well. She hoped everything is going to be fine as she looked out the window. Asuma and team spotted the two members of the Akatsuki and Asuma said "We have been ordered to capture you dead or alive". Then Azuma threw some shuriken, Shikamaru jumped up a building and used his 'shadow posession jutsu' and cought the Akatsuki member Hidan. Izumo and kotetsu attacked him and pierced him with a blade. Hidan said "That hurts you jerks". Asuma said "You guys are pretty tough to deal with". Hidan said "You guys came after the wrong people. Kakuzu stay out of it" and started to draw a circle with his spilled blood on the ground. Asuma shouted "Kotetsu, Izumo, get back" and both of them jumped and they all regrouped.
Asuma told the team to stay and help and also keep an eye on the other one while he's fighting Hidan. They agreed and Asuma took out his wind blades and coated it with wind element chakra and started attacking Hidan. Shikamaru also started using his shadows trying to capture him. Kotetsu and Izumo kept an eye on Kakuzu. The fight went on and Azuma was unable to deal any damage to hidan because he was immortal. Shikamaru frowned and said "This immortal bastard. How do we deal with him?". Hidan then came to attack Shikamaru ignoring Asuma. Asuma used a fire jutsu suffering burns and attacking Hidan in the process.
After the smoke cleared, Hidan had transformed into a black skeletal figure and seen standing inside the circle he drew and said "The ceremony will now begin. You are going to taste the ultimate pain" and stabbed his own leg. In return, Asuma got injured and fell down then he thought 'His body and mine are connected somehow'. Shikamaru this time thought ahead and used the 'shadow posession jutsu' and made hidan immobile before he stabbed himself again. Then he said "That wierd circle is the reason for his self damage resulting in damaging Asuma. Then he moved slowly and forced Hidan out of the circle.
Asuma got up and walked towards Hidan and cut his head. The severed head of Hidan spoke "You are too slow Kakuzu. You did that on purpose you bastard". Seeing the head speaking, Asuma and team were astonished. Kakuzu approached hidan and lifted his head. Hidan's head started swearing. Kakuzu then disappeaeed and knocked out Azuma in an instant. He then released threads in his body and sewed Hidan's head back to his body. Izumo and Kotetsu started attacking Kakuzu. Hidan now recovered and took his weapon and stabbed Azuma who got up. Shikamaru shouted "Asuma" and started running towards him. Hidan lifted his scythe to stab Asuma again. Shikamaru who was running tripped and fell down shouting "Dont". Kotetsu and Izumo were no match against Kakuzu as well as they were knocked back. Hidan and Kakuzu said "It's the end".
