Minato's Legacy

Closure

The group of Leaf Ninja were sitting around in a circle, going over their plan of attack, Shikamaru was going over the plan in heavy detail, the other were listening, following his every words, except Raikou. Clearly, he wasn't paying attention, finally, Shikamaru noticed, and decided to address the blonde hair ninja.

Shikamaru: If I am boring you, you can go home

Raikou: I was just waiting for you to finish so I could say how stupid that plan is

Shikamaru: Oh really? Then why don't you come up with something?

Raikou: It's simple, I don't need Ino as back-up, just let me deal with grandpa and you three can deal with the nut job

Shikamaru: What a drag, you sure?

Raikou: Of course, I'm going to remind people, that they should fear the name Namikaze

As Hidan and Kakuzu walked down the dirt road not too far from the Leaf Village, the sun beat down upon them, casting long shadows across the dusty path. Hidan, with his wild mane of silver hair and zealous demeanor, strode confidently beside Kakuzu, the stoic and pragmatic partner in their Akatsuki duo.

Hidan: So, Kakuzu, how much did we make from that last mission? he asked eagerly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Kakuzu: Enough to keep us comfortable for a while, but not nearly as much as we could have made if you hadn't been so reckless.

Hidan: Ah, who cares about being reckless? It's all about the thrill of the fight, the bloodshed, the—

Kakuzu: The money. It's all about the money, Hidan. That's what keeps us going, keeps us alive."

Hidan: 'rolled his eyes, but couldn't hide the grin creeping across his face.' Yeah, yeah, money is important too, I guess. But you have to admit, Kakuzu, there's something exhilarating about facing death head-on, knowing that we'll come out on top.

Kakuzu: You might be right but of course, you are an idiot because we cannot die

Raikou: You know, you two act like an old marry couple

The two Akatsuki members quickly turned around and saw the four leaf ninja, just standing there. Hidan grinned like a mad man while Kakuzu just sighed. 

Hidan: Ah, I was wanting a good fight, thanks for volunteering 

Raikou: Let me make one thing clear here fellas, this is not a fight, when I am finished with you, the only thing that could describe this will be an ass whopping.

Before the two Akatsuki members could register what happened, Raikou had appeared before Hidan and sent a kick to his head that sent him towards his two teammates and sensei, while with Kakuzu, he kneed him in the stomach then disappeared with him in a yellow flash. As Hidan started to collect his thoughts, he stared down his leaf opponents

Hidan: You little shits, you will pay for that

Kakashi: As much as I adore my adorable little student, and love to show him off. You won't be seeing him anymore. Darkness is what fate has in store for you.

Raikou landed in an open field then tossed the waterfall's missing ninja against the tree. Kakuzu got to a knee before coughing up a storm, it took all his willpower for the missing ninja not to throw up. When he finally made it to his feet, he saw Raikou about twenty feet from him, leaning against a tree, smirking.
