Stronger side
The two shinobi start by clashing with taijutsu, Kakashi already familiar with the uchihas visual prowess takes a page out of gais book and fights while facing itachis legs
"it won't work for you senpai" itachi states before kicking Kakashis face and then quickly striking the recovering man's jaw
'to think that he hasn't even reached his full potential' Kakashi thinks fearing itachis potential
"thought as much" he says before running full speed at itachi slightly catching him of guard to kick him and sending him back a bit "you're very strong but.."
"but?" itachi asks
"are you stronger than me right now?"
'where is gaara?, the yonbi is causing too much damage. What can I really do against such a beast?'
She thinks trying her best alongside her brother and the konoha members next to her
"I won't be able to hold down the yonbi at all, the hyugas can't close its Chakra points, the Chakra is also toxic so shino bugs die the moment they steal it,
Ino isn't mentally strong enough to overtake it's brain, Kiba can't cause significant damage and kankuro is on the same boat" shikamaru observes causing most of the shinobis to feel useless
Kankuro scoffs at shikamarus observation "i'm going to sucker punch it you stop it sis"
"you're putting too much on my shoulders"
"the reason he isn't rushing back is cause he believes in us" he tells his sister
"fine, don't blame me if it's not going to work"
"doesn't matter, as along as you did what you could"
"let's go then"
"where is that masked man?" deidara questions watching the destruction "he talked about a gorilla but I didn't think he would release a whole ass tailed beast, I really don't like that guy his up to something"
"I'm so lost the sand Is complicated" deidra hears a female's voice below "ho a target brought itself to my proximity" he crafts a small bird that blows up the unsuspecting victim whom comes out of it looking mostly fine
"YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!" Fuu screams at deidara as she quickly healed from the explosion
"tch, another freak huh, let's see what you got"
"I don't want to fight, I need to go to the yonbi"
"good luck doing that with me chasing you" she Flys away with her wings the moment he says that thinking she avoided him but unfortunately for her he was also capable of flying using a giant clay bird
He lunches multiple explosions causing her to speed up to dodge them "she's limble, I'll have to get closer" he also speeds up almost reaching her "got ya" she mutters before releasing her scale powder that shines so brightly that it blinds deidara. She pounces the moment his blinded by sending wind slashes with her wings cutting the Akatsuki and sending off his bird and painfully into a building below him
She cringes the moment he impacts with the concrete "I'M SORRY!" she shouts before flying away towards the yonbi "chomei, will you be able to stop yonbi?" she asks her tailed beast
"if he does not want to listen to reason then we might have to use force, don't worry pipsqueak I will win in a fight I'm lucky number seven after all" he reassures
"hey someone with that red cloud cloak is fighting a granny on the ground, should I help her?"
"what do you want do?"
"I'm sorry I will stop the yonbi but I have to help her"
Chiyo faced her rebellious grandson with conflicting emotions she didn't even notice fuu's presence when she landed
"seven tails" she finally acknowledges
"Just call me fuu, you want help?"
"if you're willing to enter a life or death fight then you can stay"
"you can count on me"
Kisame smirked looking at the retreating Kazekage
"I'm about to defeat the talk of the world himself, all that hype will end today after he falls at the hands of the taliless bijuu" kisame narrates to himself. He unleashes a giant water shark at the kage
"I failed my crew and I failed wano, zoro, Nami, ussopp, sanji, chopper, Robin, Franky, brook, jimbe I won't let the sand village down I'm ending this now" a stern look appears on the kages face even the pain dealt by the yonbi starts fading "thanks shukaku"
He starts crackling with black and red lightning "I won't lose again" he says punching the incoming water shark with so much force that the water evaporated
"WHAT KIND OF ATTACK WAS THAT, WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU SURROUNDED BY BLACK LIGHTNING!?" kisame starts screaming frantically. gaara completely ignores the shouting, focusing solely on infusing his sand with haki making it turn black
"no no no it can't be, iron sand?" the Akatsuki member questions stepping back "better" gaara replies turning the now black sand into a giant fist
"I DON'T CARE WHAT JUTSU YOU USE I WON'T LOSE" the sharkman does multiple hand signs to release a tsunami, this proves fruitless as the haki fist punches through the water to send kisame in a wall
"it's not over yet" kisame grunts
"it is, ARMAMENT SAND COFFIN" the pitch black sand wraps around the ninja before brutally squeezing him to death in a unforgiven fashion "Your sword might prove useful" gaara takes samehada that starts happily eating his Chakra
Kankuro appears on top of the yonbis head to land a sucker punch on it much to everyone shock the hit rattled the beast, he connects Chakra strings on the beast before jumping down
It growls and charges at him, he just tugs at the strings connected to its face forcing it's face to slam to the ground. It tries standing but a air blade from temaris fan forces it to stay down, she does not let up and launches a volley of the air blades cutting all over it's body
"this is how strong the sand siblings have gotten, makes sense why Sasuke left, the leaf isn't gon make you reach those levels in two years" shikamaru observes causing dread to seep in the hearts of the leaf genin and chunin
"yeah this is just madness it's even questionable if our senseis can defeat them" ino says watching temari pin a tailed beast with her wind slashes
"no use crying about the gap that exists its now about how we close the gap, I hate being a hindrance"
"tch you're right I don't wanna fucking watch others get things done I wanna do something" Kiba growls
The attacks from temari end as she starts getting fatigued "you alright sis?"
"yeah just get the earth users to pin him down" temaris instructions are cut short by the beast melting the rocks holding it with lava and preparing a lava bijuu bomb at them
"well nice knowing you sis" kankuro says watching the attack coming in dread "yeah" temari mutters falling to the ground, before the attack could land gaaras black sand appeared and smacked the attack into the air causing a explosion that illuminates the whole village
"I'm never coming here again" Kakashi mumbles dodging a attack from uchiha prodigy and looking up at the sky
"GAARA!!" his siblings shout after the save
"don't worry, I'll defeat yonbi with the same attack I defeated it with before" he wraps the beast with his haki sand and hits it unguarded face with a Conqueror's Haki coated fist knocking it out in one blow
'normal Conqueror's Haki can't fully subdue it, it's will is too strong for a beast. genjutsu is the best way to subdue it or advanced Conqueror's I tried to talk to him but this is for the best right now' he thinks dragging the beast with his sand
"deidara is out of commission, kisame is dead and the beast is subdued, all the jinchūriki are intact and the death count on our end is barely over 300 so this is the reality, the sand is the stronger side"
Somewhere far from the battles a figure lands on one of the Sand's buildings "the snake thought he could keep me away from itachi, tch"
