The Fox and his Goddess of Love.

Chapter 10

With Naruto)

As Kisame charged at Naruto, what the Shark man didn't expect was for Naruto to be instantly infront of him and then punched him with the Nemean Cestus in the chest that it sent Kisame flying and made the Swordsman cough up blood from the impact he felt.

"So fast?! How did he get so fast?!" Kisame thought as he was on the ground feeling his ribs cracked.

What Kisame didn't know was that Naruto was fast by using the boots of Hermes to actually get up so close to him and then struck him.

Kisame spat blood as he glared at Naruto who is standing there waiting on Kisame.

Kisame charged again as he swinged his sword at Naruto who blocked it with the Nemean Cestus as the two were in a deadlock glaring at each other. They both broke apart from each other as Naruto started lunging at Kisame as the Shark man was dodging and evading the Lion gauntlets. Kisame backflipped into the air and weaved hand seals.

"Water Style: Shark Bomb Jutsu!" He yelled sending a large water shark at Naruto who evaded it so fast with the boots of Hermes as the Uzumaki spartan jumped in the air and glided past Kisame with his wings of Icarus and landed a crushing blow at Kisame's face that it sent him crashing to the ground as Naruto landed on top of Kisame and did a ballistic barrage of punches.

Naruto relentlessly kept punching the Shark man into paste in the ground as Kisame's grunts of pain could be heard. The champion of Aphrodite was covered in Kisame's blood as you could hear the sounds of bones being crushed and smashed from the intense punching Naruto was laying waste to Kisame.

Naruto stood above Kisame's downed form. Who was no longer moving. Kisame's face had been bashed in, his body was crushed and mangled. The Missing nin of the mist is likely dead.

The Champion of Aphrodite took off the Nemean Cestus and put them back in his scroll as he grabbed Samehada. With the sword now being submissive to Naruto since he killed its former wielder. As Naruto stored the sword in the scroll to keep. After killing Kisame he turned towards Itachi who had a shocked expression that Naruto was able to beat Kisame.

"I'm guessing you don't want to die next do you Itachi? It doesn't have to be this way." Naruto says not really wanting to kill his former protector.

Itachi for his part remained silent... even he knows he might not stand a chance against Naruto now.

"You don't have to stay in the Akatsuki. Come with us." Naruto says with Itachi now thinking it wasn't until suddenly Tsunade and Shizune arrived

"What happened? I heard a fight- Itachi Uchiha?" Tsunade says now surprised to see him

"Tsunade Senju... well isn't this a surprise." He says in his usual monotone.

"You might as well come with us Itachi. You don't have to be apart of the Akatsuki." Yugao chimes in. As Tsunade and Shizune look over to Naruto wanting him to explain what's going on.

"It will be explained once we get to Uzu." Naruto says while glancing at Itachi.

Itachi while thinking. Should he remain in the Akatsuki or not?

"Very Well." Itachi says taking off his Akatsuki cloak and tossed it to the side.

"Wise Decision. Tsunade are you packed and ready?" Naruto asked as she nodded.

"Good. Everyone let's move." Naruto says as he and the group walked away into the forest to ride Naruto's giant Roc bird as they took to the sky and flew off back to Uzu.

( Ame 1 day later)

"I see... How unfortunate..." Pain says looking at Zetsu who reported to him about Kisame's death along with Itachi's defection. He never thought the Kyuubi jinchuriki was that strong that he was able to kill and defeat Kisame. What made Itachi join the Kyuubi Jinchuriki?
