Chapter
Nineteen – The Mission

The team
made camp a few miles away from the location of the Akatsuki
headquarters. They had one extra member that they originally hadn't
been planning on...Gaara had heard about the mission from Naruto and
had insisted on going with them. No one had objected, not even
Sasuke, since they all knew how powerful the Kazekage was.

When Sasuke
had been told by Tsunade that the murderers of his clan were the same
group that his brother had been working for, he had been pissed and
had gone to confront Itachi. Itachi had explained to him that he
worked for the murderers in order to stay close to them and to find
out how strong they were and what weaknesses they may have. He told
Sasuke that he had had a hard time controlling himself over the past
years and it was only because of the leader that he kept himself from
trying to kill all of them. Itachi called him the leader because no
one was ever told what his real name was and he had insisted that all
the other members call him Leader. The older man was just too
powerful for Itachi to kill. He was somehow able to shield himself
from the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Itachi knew this because
the leader had not only told him, but had ordered Itachi to try to
use it on him. The man had wanted to show Itachi that he wouldn't be
able to betray him and get away with it. Over the years, his older
brother had learned as many jutsus as he could and kept as close an
eye on the leader as possible, looking for any weakness he could
find. Their leader is going to be tough to beat. Naruto and Gaara
will be the ones that fight him. If I could kill that man myself, I
would. But it's enough to know that I will be a part of this and that
all of my clan's killers will pay. Itachi said that not all of the
current members of Akatsuki were in the group back then, but if they
decide to fight against us, then they will die too.

Naruto
walked over to where Sasuke was standing. “Sasuke? Are you
alright?”

The raven
haired teen looked at the concerned face of the blond. “Yeah,
I'm fine. I was just thinking about tomorrow.”

“Everyone
is eating now, you need to eat something too.”

Sasuke
smiled at his love. “Alright.” He followed Naruto back to
where the others were sitting around the camp fire. He took the plate
of food that Gai handed to him, nodding his thanks, then sat down
next to his blond.

Kakashi
looked around at the group and then settled his eyes on Itachi.
“Everyone knows what they will be doing, right?”

Everyone
answered in the affirmative. No one really felt like talking because
they were all thinking of the tough battle ahead of them tomorrow.
After they had all ate, the first shift of the night watch went to
the places where they would be stationed. Since there were nine
people, there would be three people on each watch. The ones on the
first watch were Gai, Shikamaru and Sasuke, the second watch would be
done by Neji, Sakura and Gaara, and the final watch by Kakashi,
Naruto and Itachi.

Nothing
happened during the first watch. After the second watch began, Neji
who had been wanting to talk to Gaara, decided that he would do that
during their watch. Gaara had his third eye out to help with watching
the area and Neji would check around with his Byakugan every once in
a while.

The Hyuuga
genius walked over to the tree that Gaara was standing by and looked
at him. “You are very good friends with Naruto, aren't you?”

The red head
was curious about why the brunette had approached him. “Yes, we
are close friends.”

“You
came on this mission for him, didn't you?”

“Yes,
I wanted to be here to help him. The Akatsuki are very powerful.”
Gaara had been impressed with the Hyuuga boy's talents when he had
watched him during the Chuunin Exams. Having the boy standing so
close to him, was causing him to feel something strange inside. He
didn't understand what it was that was making him feel that way and
was trying to figure it out in his head.

Neji had
been fascinated with the control that Gaara had over sand ever since
he first saw him fight. He had also thought the boy seemed lonely
when he first had seen him. He wanted to know more about the red
haired Sand nin. “I care about Naruto too. He helped me to see
things about myself that I needed to change. Because of him I was
able to have a better and closer relationship with my cousin Hinata
and also my uncle. I wish to repay Naruto by helping him.”

Gaara
smiled. “So do I.”

“If I
may ask, how did he help you?”

“He
was my first friend and he helped me to be able to sleep. I am a
jinchuuriki like Naruto is. But unlike Naruto, the seal that had been
put on my demon, was not as effective. Shukaku would try to possess
me if I fell asleep. Naruto helped me by putting up a new barrier
around my demon so that it couldn't get out, but I could still access
it's chakra.”

Neji hadn't
known that the Kazekage was a container for a demon. But now he was
able to understand the friendship between Naruto and Gaara better.
They shared similar pasts, while growing up. “I would like to
be your friend too, Gaara.”

Gaara looked
at the brunette in surprise. “I would like that. It would be
nice to have another friend.” He smiled at Neji.

Neji smiled
back.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the
morning, everyone packed up all their things, then cleaned up the
camp. Kakashi told Itachi to lead the way to the Akatsuki
headquarters. The silver haired jounin and Sasuke were the next two
in line, followed in order by Sakura, Gaara, Gai, Shikamaru, Naruto
and Neji at the back to watch with his Byakugan for anyone that tried
to come at them from behind.

It wasn't
long before Itachi called them all to a halt. Half a mile in front of
them was what looked like a hill made of stone. They had not sensed
anyone besides their own group, up until that time. Kakashi gave the
order for all of them, except for Itachi, to lower their chakra
levels to the point where it couldn't be detected. The first group
that would go in with Itachi were Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto and Gaara.
They would henge into shuriken and be carried into the headquarters
in Itachi's weapon pouch. Once inside, they would release their henge
when given the signal by Itachi. The ones left outside would know to
come in, when the entrance to the headquarters was blown up. It was
Naruto's job to give that signal by blasting the door, which was a
huge boulder, into little bits with his chakra.

Naruto had
practiced how much of his chakra to use and where to strike it at, in
order to blow up a large boulder, before they had left for the
mission. The blond had also had to work with Gaara on how to henge
into a shuriken, since the Sand nin had never done that before. Gaara
was a fast learner though, so it didn't take too long for him to pick
it up.

Once
Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto and Gaara had performed their henge, Itachi
put the transformed shuriken in to his pouch. He then lead the other
members of his team closer to the cave. He left them hiding in the
trees that were several yards away from the cave, while he walked up
to the entrance by himself. Itachi performed the special seals
required to open the entrance and said the password, then stepped
inside. He walked into a very large room that had a table in the
center of it, with several chairs around it. Seated at the table was
his partner, Kisame, and the blond bomb expert, Deidara. Both had
been talking together and stopped when they noticed the Uchiha
walking towards them.

The
shark-like man grinned at his partner. “I don't see the blond
demon container with you. Had some trouble, huh?”

“That
fox container is too much trouble, yeah. Kinda glad not to see him,
yeah.” Deidara had been one of the Akatsuki members that had
suffered a lot of damage after a fight with Naruto. It had been over
a year since the blond Akatsuki member's battle with the demon
container, but he still hadn't forgot how painful it was. Nearly all
of the bones in his arms and legs had been crushed.

“Who's
here?” Itachi just wanted to get this all over with, so he
ignored Kisame's question.

Kisame's
face became serious. “Something happen?”

“Everyone's
here, somewhere, yeah.” Deidara answered Itachi's question.

“Go
get them. I have something important to report.”

Deidara
grumbled, but got up from the table anyway. He left the room to go
find the other Akatsuki members.

Itachi
activated his Mangekyou Sharingan as soon as Kisame looked him in the
eyes. He trapped the shark-like man in a genjutsu and then pulled out
a kunai and cut the man's throat, nearly severing his head. Itachi
pulled out the shuriken he had in his pouch and laid them out on the
floor in front of him. “It's time.”

Kakashi,
Sasuke, Gaara and Naruto dropped their henge. They went to stand near
the walls, where they then performed another henge, this time to look
like part of the stone wall. Sasuke, Naruto and Gaara had practiced
this type of henge too, before leaving Konoha. The blond had moved
close to the entrance before he had performed his henge, in order to
be ready for when he had to signal the others.

Itachi
dragged Kisame's body outside and then re-entered the headquarters.
He wiped up the blood that had been spilled on the table, chair and
floor, then he stood by the table to wait for the other Akatsuki
members to arrive.

A couple
minutes later, two cloaked men entered the room. They moved to stand
on the opposite side of the table from Itachi. Neither one spoke to
him. More people soon entered the room, some alone and some in pairs,
until finally all Akatsuki members, minus one, were in the room.

Deidara
looked around and noticed someone was missing. “Where is shark
man, yeah?”

All of a
sudden, a sand wall blocked the door that the Akatsuki members had
entered from, leaving only the front entrance accessible. The boulder
blocking the front entrance exploded outward and light from the
outside entered the room. The Akatsuki members were taken by
surprise, but soon snapped out of it and separated from each other in
order to fight whatever enemies had infiltrated their headquarters.

It was
Itachi's job to point out who the leader was to Naruto and Gaara, he
did that by throwing a kunai at the man. Gaara, Naruto, Sasuke and
Kakashi dropped their henge. Both demon containers then teleported
over to where the leader was standing. Itachi went after Zetsu, the
Venus flytrap man. Sasuke went after Betsui, one of the original
Akatsuki members that had been one of his clan's murderers. Both
Itachi and Sasuke were determined to attack the ones that had
actually killed their clan, first. Gai, Neji, Shikamaru, Kakashi and
Sakura went after the other members. Sakura's opponent was Sasori, a
puppet master that used poison. Shikamaru was able to capture three
of the Akatsuki members using his Shadow Imitation jutsu and Gai and
Neji took them out of the fight.

Kakashi's
opponent was Deidara. Since Deidara was not one of the killers of the
Uchiha clan, and he was a lot younger than the other Akatsuki
members, Kakashi decided to give the young man a choice. He told him
why the Akatsuki were being attacked and that Deidara was free to
leave, but if he stayed he would be captured or killed like all the
other members.

Deidara was
not a coward, but after hearing the reason for the attack and that
Itachi had turned on them, he decided to leave. He could see that
some of the other Akatsuki members were already out of the fight and
despite how powerful the leader was, he knew that the demon
containers were very powerful too. “Maybe I'll see you again,
yeah.” Deidara smirked at the silver haired jounin, then ran
out the entrance.

Kakashi
turned around to see what was happening with the others and saw that
Sakura needed help. He went to her side and joined her in the fight
against Sasori. Sakura had destroyed several of Sasori's puppets
already, but had come very close to getting poisoned. She was
grateful for the help from her former sensei.

Naruto had
taken control of the leader's chakra and was holding him in place so
that Gaara could make his own attack. Over the past few years when
Naruto had been training with Jiraiya, he had practiced taking
control of other people's chakra. He had been able to get to the
point where he could hold Jiraiya in place for fifteen minutes,
before the sannin was finally able to get away. Jiraiya's chakra
levels had been nearly depleted though. So now, Naruto was able to
get a good hold on the leader, enabling Gaara to use his desert
coffin jutsu on him. Naruto let go of the leader right before he was
surrounded by the sand cocoon. But the man managed to put a shield
around himself while inside the coffin. Naruto seeing that the leader
had survived, quickly reached out with his chakra again to control
him. Damn it! I have to drain all of his chakra. I hope I can do
it before he gets away. Naruto worked quickly to drain the chakra
from the Akatsuki leader's body. He decided he needed the fox's help,
so he stole some of it's chakra in order to give himself a boost so
he could work faster.

Meanwhile,
Itachi had killed Zetsu by using the Amaterasu, a technique only a
user of the Mangekyou Sharingan can perform. This black fire jutsu
can go through any barrier and nearly every shield jutsu. The black
fire burned through the fly trap shell, destroying the body within.
Itachi could see that Sasuke was still fighting his opponent and
seemed to be winning. He looked over at the others and saw that all
of them were fighting against Sasori now. It seemed that there were
only three Akatsuki members left in the fight, so Itachi went over to
where Naruto and Gaara were fighting the leader. He looked at Naruto.
“Let me kill him. When I give the word, let go of him and leap
far away.”

Naruto
nodded. He had managed to drain a lot of the leader's chakra from
him, but the man was still putting up quite a fight in trying to
break away. Gaara hadn't done anything more because he hadn't wanted
to hurt Naruto.

Itachi got
himself ready to perform the Amaterasu jutsu again. “Now!”
As soon as Naruto let go of the leader and leaped away from him,
Itachi quickly performed his jutsu and black fire came out of his
mouth and shot towards the leader. The man being very low on chakra,
tried to dodge the fire coming at him instead of trying to shield
himself, but one of his arms got hit with it anyway and the fire soon
spread to his whole body. He screamed out in agony and after a few
seconds his body was no longer there, because it had been completely
burned up until there was nothing left of it.

Naruto was
in shock at how powerful Itachi's jutsu was. I sure am glad he
never tried to use that thing on me! He looked at the oldest
living Uchiha. “Why didn't you ever use that on him before?”

“He
was very good with shield jutsus and I wasn't sure if the Amaterasu
could get through all of them. I didn't want to take the chance that
he would survive and then kill me before I could kill him. I needed
to be sure first. Because you drained most of his chakra out of him,
I felt he wouldn't be strong enough to be able to shield against the
Amaterasu. If he had been able to do it though, I believe you would
have been able to finish him off for me.” Itachi then looked
over at the others and saw they had all finished their fights. Sakura
was busy healing Sasuke's wounds and the others were making sure the
surviving Akatsuki members were tied up securely. The team had
brought several chakra-suppressing bracelets with them and those were
now being put on the survivors. Itachi noticed one person was
missing. He didn't see a certain blond anywhere. He walked over to
Kakashi. “Where's Deidara?”

Kakashi
shrugged his shoulders and grinned beneath his mask. “Guess he
got away.”

Itachi
frowned at the silver haired jounin. He doesn't act like it's a
big deal. Did he let him get away and if so, why? Well, Deidara
wasn't one of our clan's killers, so it doesn't matter to me. He
turned away from the jounin and walked out of the cave. He looked
down at the body of his former partner. He really had had nothing
against Kisame. The shark-like man hadn't been one of the killers
either. But his sword was powerful and having Kisame in the fight may
have caused harm to his team. Kisame had enjoyed killing anyway,
so it's not like I killed an innocent man. Itachi looked away
from the dead man and up at the sky. I have finally avenged my
clan. I'm sorry it took me so long, Father and Mother.

Sasuke came
outside and stood next to his brother. It's finally done. I used
to think I would die after I killed Itachi or even while trying to. I
can't believe that all these years, I was filled with hate for him
and he wasn't even the one I was supposed to be hating. It still
feels strange to me. Sasuke looked over at his brother and saw
him looking up at the sky. “Can we be brothers again, aniki?”

Itachi
looked at Sasuke. “I would like that, little brother.”

They both
heard the voices of their teammates and looked at the entrance to the
cave. They watched as the others came out. There were only three
surviving Akatsuki members and they were being dragged out by
Kakashi, Gai and Gaara. The red head was using his sand to drag his
burden with.

Kakashi
looked at the Kazekage and saw what he was doing. “Would you
mind carrying all three with your sand?”

Gaara
smirked at the jounin. “No, I don't mind.” He then used
his sand to latch onto the other two men that the jounins had been
holding. He wrapped all three together in a cocoon of sand.

Kakashi
smiled at his team. “Mission accomplished. It's time to head
home.”

Everyone
nodded. They were all exhausted, but felt good because no one on
their team was seriously injured, and they had defeated a powerful
organization. Kakashi took the lead and they all followed him,
leaving behind the ruins of the Akatsuki.

TBC

The Akatsuki
member called Betsui is just a name I made up because so far only
Itachi, Kisame, Sasori, Deidara and Zetsu have been named as members
of Akatsuki, while the other four have not been given names yet.
