Changes

Chapter 22

Sakura's pov
I see Itachi relax I continue to heal his drained eyes. I feel his arms snake around my waist I slightly jump at the touch. After some time I stop to concentrate my chakra in my hands I tried to get up but I couldn't Itachi's grip was to tight as I move I feel his grip tighten as if his life depended on me. I let out a sigh of defeat I lay down next to him I turn my back to him. I could feel a light pull on my waist I look over and I see that Itachi's arms made their way on to my waist again but this time he didn't grip on my waist he pulled me by it. I could feel him pull me on top off him and by the time I was now laying on his chest. I could feel my cheeks heat up I try to ignore as I feel sleep taking over my body I slowly shut my eyes and I listen to Itachi's heartbeat as I doze off to dreamland. I wake up to something move under me I slowly open my eyes and the first thing I see are a pair of onyx eyes staring at me I smile as I rub my still sleepy eyes. I could feel Itachi lean down to plant a soft kiss on my head. I smile and I look at him " We should get going. " he nodded I got of him and I placed my mask over my face I could see Itachi do the same and we left the cave. We start to jump from tree to tree at a fast pace I knew that we are closer since me and Itachi are fast. After hours off running and leaping from tree to tree. I start so feel two strong presence. I stop in my tracks and I pay closer attention to the presence but this time I felt three " Do you sense something? " I hear Itachi ask I nod I look at him I could tell that he had activated his sharingan " Their below us. " he says calmly I nod and me and Itachi jump down and as expected the Akatsuki and the jinchuuriki. Hidan and Kakuzu I see them turn to us I Hidan had a grin planted uncross his face. I look at my left to Itachi " I suggest you leave the jinchuuriki alone. " he says coldly his tone sent shivers down my spine his tone was so cold yet so dangerous. Kakuzu just smirked at his sentence " Oh really? " obviously trying to make Itachi mad. I swiftly grabbed 3 needles out off my pouch I aimed at Kakuzu's chakra points " It's not the best idea to anger my partner. " I say coldly Hidan laughs at my sentence I look in his direction " What is so funny? " he looks at me with his grin " You can't take us down ever if you tried. " I let out a small chuckle " Try me. " I say daring him to attack me. I could see his grin widen and his eyes had lighten up as soon as I knew it he runs towards me and changes at me with his scythe I swiftly dodge. He keeps changing at me with a fast pace yet it was nothing for me to keep up with he laughed like a maniac while striking at me. I kept dodging since I knew that if I get hit it's over he was now frowning. I got bored of dodging so when he changed at me I jumped up and I start to form hand sings for a water technique " Water Style: Giant Waterfall! " I yell and I spray the water at him he dodges it and starts to laugh again I smirk and I land down on the ground. I start to form hand sings again " Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu! " I say as the mist appears I know that I will give Kakuzu some trouble as well. I jump up and I start to throw needles at Hidan he off course didn't know where they were coming from so he didn't dodge them. Now that I aimed at his fatal spots on his body he would not be able to move I landed back down and I heard a scream Kakuzu I suppose. The mist starts to disappear I slowly walk over to Hidan and as I thought he was laying on the ground not able to move and the bonus the needles I have thrown were poisoned his body should go numb in 10 minutes. The mist has now completely disappeared I look over to Itachi and Kakuzu and I see Kakuzu laying on the ground face first. I make my way to Hidan " Looks like you have lost. " I say coldly he smiles and looks at me " I didn't lord Jashin will repay me for my sacrifices. " I let out a chuckle " No he won't and you know why? Your body will go numb and you won't be able to move so no sacrifice will be made. And with that your beloved lord Jashin will take your immortality away so you will starve to death. " I say coldly he laughs " Kakuzu will get me out off this. " he says confident that is partner will help him but we know that is not going to happen. I see Itachi walk over to me and Hidan " Unfortunately for you Kakuzu is dead so you are going to die as well. " he says coldly I see Hidan's face go pale I let out a sigh and I start to form hand sings " Earth Release Barrier: Dome prison. " I say as I slam my hands on to the ground a earth dome in traps Hidan inside. I remove my hands from the ground and I look at Itachi " Where is the jinchuuriki? " he points to a tree I look over and I say " Let's get him and head back. " he nods and we start to walk over to the jinchuuriki Itachi picks up the older man and he lightly puts him over his shoulder. He looks at me signaling that he ready to head out I nod and we head out.
