No Room for Another Heart (Kakuzu fanfiction)

Fuu, the Seven Tails

Kakuzu's p.o.v.

     So, this was the seven tail jinchuriki; not much of a fighter from the looks of it but with those beasts inside them one can never be too cautious. Just as I went to step forward to discard of the troublesome shinobi guard, Fuu ran out in front of me looking up like a child. "Wait a minute! I recognize you! You're Kakuzu!" I glared down at the girl but seemed to have no effect on her optimistic attitude. The shinobi nearest to her looked at her in disbelief. "Miss Fuu that would be impossible, there's no way he'd still be alive that's too many years!" Fuu continued her rant however. "Yeah, you were given a big mission from the Hidden Waterfall; they say you were sent to assassinate the First Hokage but failed. The village elders punished you till you broke out and stole a forbidden jutsu! I've always wanted to meet you! Wanna be friends?"

     For the first time in my life, I was speechless. Hidan was giving her an odd look before looking over to me. "Kakuzu do you know this woman?" I grunted keeping my eyes locked on hers. "I've never met her before and I certainly didn't come here to be friends," Fuu frowned and back away a bit. "That's too bad." Before more could be said, the lead bodyguard signaled for the other shinobi to attack. I hardened my skin as a hail of kunai, shuriken and jutsu rained down on the three of us. 

     Fuu sprouted insect-like wings and flew back to avoid the assault on us as Hidan was knocked away by earth jutsu. Ikari dodged the attacks well enough to get out of the main attack. "Hidan and Ikari! Handle the shinobi, I'll handle Fuu!" I dashed out of the smoke cloud created from the attack and detached my hands, extending my arms out with the tendrils to clothes-line a few shinobi in front of me as I chased after Fuu who was retreating to the top of the mountain. I landed on top of the small mountain as Fuu stopped her running. "You know, I really did want to be friends. I hate to burst your bubble but I'm not going to die yet," I removed my cloak as the four masks left my back. "Oh don't worry, I'm not the one who will kill you."

Ikari's p.o.v.

     Kakuzu chased Fuu over the mountain top leaving Hidan and I to fight off the mass of shinobi. Most looked like average Jonin, nothing too special about the group but they obviously had a number advantage. How did I not catch onto so many others being in the area? Hidan seemed to be happy as a kid in a candy store; though with him it was more a psycho in a torture shop. Before I could even ask him about a plan, Hidan hurled his scythe into the midsection of the closest Jonin and pulled the chord to send the body flying into others. "Get ready you bastards! I'm sacrificing every single one of you to Lord Jashin!"

     I dashed to the left taking on a group of the Jonin. I jumped into the air and weaved the signs. "Fire style: Phoenix Flower." Small balls of fire shot from my mouth hitting several Jonin head on causing them to fall in agony. I flipped around in time to block an incoming attack with my kunai. The shinobi glared at me before I rolled back and used my legs to kick him over me. I followed through with the roll landing on top of him and plunged my kunai in his chest before he could react. Several shinobi weaved hand signs and smacked the ground. "Earth style: Thunderous Quake." The earth began cracking and shaking in front of their hands. I just barely jumped in time to avoid the attack though while in the air I was hit in the back by a pressurized jet of water sending me down.

     I stood in time to see multiple shinobi charge Hidan. The numbers proved too many for him and several stabbed through him with kunai. I gasped expecting Hidan to fall but he...started laughing? Hidan's skin turned black with white markings looking like a skeleton. He spun and cut through all of them with his scythe. Hidan's eyes were bloodshot and crazed as he cut through more Jonin. He almost seemed to cherish the screams, almost like they fueled him. Strangely, there were a few he merely cut before making a large symbol of Jashin on the ground with...blood. Hidan pulled out a spike from his robe and licked it with a sadistic look in his eyes before stabbing himself in the heart. To my amazement, he still didn't fall. Instead, every shinobi he cut grabbed their chest in pain before collapsing.
