Authors note: I’m giving a serious twist to the whole Pain-fight because it fits my story better in my opinion. So be warned: canon-divergence.
After several days of travelling, the three shinobi arrived at what used to be the gates of Konoha.
Naruto gasped as he saw what was left of his beloved village. He had to work hard to push back tears at seeing so much destruction. Kakashi on the other hand was radiating strong waves of killing intent, causing the other two shinobi to cringe.
“I need to speak to Tsunade.” Kakashi said as he shot forward towards the weak chakra signature he recognized as hers. Upon arrival, he could see that she was heavily wounded and unconscious.
“Baa-chan!” Naruto cried out as he dropped to his knees, not being able to progress the destruction and suffering his eyes were seeing all around him. He looked up to Kakashi with panicked watery eyes, seeking for some reassurance. He needed to find some hope. He needed to see that Kakashi had a plan, or at least something that would be able to make everything okay again.
Kakashi didn’t look back at his lover. He knew it was cruel, but if he looked into Naruto’s eyes now, he would give in to comforting the suffering teen. He couldn’t allow himself to be distracted now. He needed to approach the whole situation analytical and calmly, not emotionally. So he tore away from Naruto’s gaze and looked over to Shizune, who was kneeling besides Tsunade’s body, working hard on healing Konoha’s fifth hokage.
“Shizune. What happened here.” Kakashi said in a tone that resonated authority and calmness.
The dark-haired women looked up at him while maintaining the green healing glow around her hands. “We thought we would be attacked by two Akatsuki members, named Konan and Pain. But those two never showed up. Instead we have been attacked by six shinobi, all with orange hair. One of them summoned giant animals and let those loose on the city, destroying everything and everyone in their path. Long story short, we were completely overwhelmed.” She admitted trying to press back the tremble in her voice.
“Tsunade-sama was able to deal with the beasts, but in the meantime, the six figures caused multiple shinobi casualties. Every one of them seems to have an unpredictable and powerful ability. Tsunade-sama summoned the snail Katsuyu to help the wounded shinobi and civilians. However, in doing so, she passed out from chakra depletion. After that, one of the enemies destroyed Konoha with a huge meteorite. They named it ‘Shinra Tensei’. Tsunade and most of our shinobi were heavily wounded in that attack, if they survived at all that is.” She said sullenly, eliciting a small sob.
“And Sakura?” Kakashi asked worried about his former team member.
“She’s protecting and helping the wounded at the hospital. I believe she hasn’t gotten hurt so far.” Shizune answered with determination and pride.
“Good. Thank you Shizune.” Kakashi said as he raced towards to where he sensed foreign chakra signatures with destructive intentions. Naruto and Yamato followed him without hesitation.
As the blond caught up with the silver-haired shinobi, he spoke out. “Kashi. I can hardly feel Pervy-Sage’s chakra!” He called out, voice strained with fright.
Kakashi glanced sideways as they continued at high speed. “I know Naruto.” He said with difficulty, not knowing how to console his lover.
“We have to save him!” The boy yelled now clearly panicked as he quickened his pace.
“Naruto. I know this is your first real war experience. If there’s one thing you will learn here, then it is that you will lose loved ones. We have to prioritize the safety of the entire village over Jiraiya’s or our friends now. Understood?” Kakashi asked sternly.
He hated having to berate his lover now that the blond was experiencing such difficult emotions. But he needed Naruto to keep a clear head. Panicking would only lead to stupid actions, which could cost lives. Despite how much his lover needed his support. Kakashi needed to act as an elite shinobi and a captain now. It could be crucial to protect their own lives.
He send a stern glare towards his young lover, who nodded in reply. “We’ll find him Naruto. I still sense his chakra. He’s close to the main battlefield. We’re heading there now.” Both shinobi looked sideways as they heard civilian cries in the distance, close to where the Academy used to be. Some of the voices clearly sounded as women and children.
“Worry about it later Naruto. We have to keep going.” Kakashi said harshly, ignoring the desire to comfort his lover. They leapt to the battleground as fast as they could, where they saw several of their friends facing six figures in black cloaks with red clouds. They all had orange hair and seemed to have several piercings.
Naruto gasped as he saw his godfather lying in a puddle of blood not too far from the six strange men. He hurried towards the white-haired shinobi, with Kakashi following in his step. He pushed aside some fellow shinobi, who he hardly recognized now. Jiraiya was still alive, but only barely. Blood was gushing from the corners of his mouth as he tried to speak.
“N-Naruto. K-Kakashi.” The older man spoke weakly as he looked up at them.
“Pervy-Sage, what happened, how can I help you?” Naruto said upset.
Kakashi ignored the blond’s questions and forced Jiraiya to look at him. “Jiraiya, speak. What do you know about them?” He said, knowing that every piece of information could turn the tide on the upcoming battle.
“There’s s-six of them.” Jiraiya said with difficulty. “Each h-has their own special ability. One can s-summon animals, one can read minds.” He slowly lifted a shaking finger. That one with the ripped cloak can absorb chakra from ninjutsu attacks. T-the other ones I d-don’t know yet.” He said clutching his gut.
“Anything else?” Kakashi demanded.
“T-their e-eyes.” He gurgled. “Their e-yes.” He looked up at Kakashi. “Connected.” He said with effort. “They’re b-being c-controlled from elsewhere.” Jiraiya groaned in suffering. “Must find.” He said as he laid a hand on his godson’s shoulder. “N-Naruto, I b-believe in you.” He said to the blond looking deep into his cerulean eyes. Naruto looked back at his godfather. Tears fell from his eyes as the Sannin released his final breath.
Naruto felt as if he was being ripped in half from deep inside himself. Tears were now running down his whiskered cheeks as anger flared up inside of him. He released a massive wave of killing intent which caused Kakashi to worry. The other shinobi’s in the area all wisely took a few steps back as they were overwhelmed by the pressing sensation.
Suddenly, Naruto activated his Sage-mode and rushed forwards. He hit one of the six figures known as Pain straight in the gut with a Rasengan. His speed was so incredible and so sudden, that he actually managed to completely destroy one of the six. Kakashi was astounded to say the least. He knew the young man could fight with incredible strength and skill. But now he was fighting out of pure anger and sadness. He was furious and stricken with the sheer will to destroy his enemy. Kakashi knew he had to stay level-headed in order to come up with a strategy to protect whatever was left from the village and its citizens.
He blocked off his worries about Naruto’s wellbeing and looked towards Yamato.
“Tenzo, go find Sakura or another medical ninja and bring them over here as quickly as possible. I’ve got a strong feeling we’ll be needing one very soon.”
After sending Yamato away, he raced over to where Shikamaru and his friends were gathered. The young shadow-user was propped up against a rock. It seemed he had broken his leg in the Shinra Tensei explosion.
“Shikamaru, have you been observing the battle?” Kakashi asked with pressing need.
“Hai Kakashi-sensei. The enemy proved to be very troublesome. So I’ve been trying to figure out their techniques. See if we can find a weakness.”
“What have you come up with?” Kakashi asked hopeful.
“The one on the left as the ability to attract and repulse with an invisible force. Some sort of wind, but different. Basically he can block any attack that way, and pull people in dangerously close. However, it seems like there’s a five second pause between being able to use his ability multiple times.” Shikamaru said determined.
“The one next to him can use mechanical armor and weaponry. He’s a lot faster than he looks and will attack with sharp blades and saws. The one on the right can read minds. And the one next to him can summon up a giant wooden head with a big mouth. I’m not sure what it does yet. One was able to summon animals, but Naruto just destroyed that guy.” Shikamaru said with a grin.
“So. Naruto killed the one who can summon. The two on the left are able to block, pull in and attack. And the two on the right can read minds and summon a contraption. That means that the one in the middle is the one who can absorb chakra.” Kakashi deducted as he glanced over to the battlefield.
“Alright. Thanks. Keep trying to find more information if you can.” Kakashi said before he rushed over to the battlefield.
As he arrived, he quickly swooped in between Naruto and the middle Pain, effectively pushing the young man’s arm holding a Rasengan out of the way.
“What the hell Kakashi!” The blond retorted bluntly, anger clouding his blue eyes.
“That one will absorb your Rasengan’s chakra Naruto. You’ll make him stronger.” Kakashi said calmly. “You’ll have to attack him with strong taijutsu moves, but only when none of their eyes can see. I can give you that opening. But you need to close your eyes at the exact moment I yell your name. Got it?” Kakashi said as he pushed himself off the ground.
The blond barely had time to nod as he heard Kakashi yelling his name. He quickly closed his eyes, trusting fully on his partner’s instincts and strategies.
Kakashi used his lightning technique to create a huge blinding flash, leaving all the Pains temporarily blinded. “Now Naruto. Attack him!” Kakashi yelled out while forming a Chidori to trust in one of the other Pain’s bodies. The blond did exactly what his lover told him. He trusted his fist forward so fast and with so much power that he instantly broke the figures neck. He felt his stomach turn at the loud crack his punch elicited. Kakashi on the other hand had been able to trust his hand through the chest of the Pain with the mind-reading abilities.
“Three down, three to go.” Kakashi said pleased as he landed swiftly next to the young shinobi. Naruto nodded nervously.
Kakashi pointed towards one of the figures. “That one uses mechanical armor and weaponry.” He moved his finger to point to the one in the middle. “That one can attract and repulse with some sort of force. And that one on the right we don’t know yet. Something with a giant head.” He quickly explained to the young shinobi. “You take the middle one. There’s a five second pause when he used his ability before he can use it once more. I need you to attack him full strength within those five seconds. So you’ll have to rely on your speed, or the maneuverability of your Rasenshuriken. Leave the other ones to me.” Kakashi said determined as he pinched his young lover’s shoulder.
“Got it.” Naruto said determined as he eyed his opponent. In one swift move, he shot forward. As he suspected, he was thrown back due to an invisible force. While hurling backwards, he quickly tried to form a Rasenshuriken. Unfortunately, it didn’t hit its target on time. Naruto cursed as he realized the difficulty of his task. Kakashi was having a hard time as well as he tried to dodge the attacks his fast opponent was throwing at him. The blades and saws missed him, but only barely. Both shinobi were trying to focus on their own battle, while worrying in the back of their heads about their lover, making it one of the hardest battles they had faced so far.
As the battle continued on for several minutes, the third Pain got into the fight as well. Kakashi wanted to end his battle as quickly as possible so he could go over to help Naruto. But his opponent proved to be a challenge, even for him. Unfortunately, their enemies could oversee the entire battle more analytically, as all their Rinnegan eyes were connected. They had been able to observe both fights at once. They decided on making good use of what they had learned about the two Leaf shinobi. Breaking one of them, would cause the other to become reckless.
And so it came to be that two Pains decided to team up. The one with the ability to attract and repulse quickly moved behind his mechanical partner when he saw Kakashi attacking. He used his abilities to attract Kakashi with immense force, while his partner thrusted his blades forward. The silver-haired shinobi was hurled into them at such speed that he couldn’t dodge the deadly saws. He gasped for breath as he felt his torso being ripped to shreds. All he could grasp at that moment, was sheer pain and Naruto’s voice screaming somewhere in the distance. After impaling him, he was thrown to the side and left to die. He groaned as he roughly hit the ground.
He looked over his wound and immediately know that he had to minimalize the blood loss in order to survive as long as possible. His screams reached far over the battlefield as he applied pressure to the bleeding torso. At this point, he just hoped that he wouldn’t pass out before Yamato would return.
As he felt the warm blood gushing past his fingers, he tried to focus on Naruto. He instantly was overwhelmed with guilt when he saw tears running down his lover’s cheeks.
When Naruto had heard Kakashi’s scream, it felt as if a knife was pushed deep into his heart. He tried to get to his boyfriend as fast as possible, but the Pains were constantly blocking him off with attacks.
Kakashi felt the young shinobi’s anger flair up as he couldn’t reach his wounded lover. His eyes grew wide as he slowly saw a red chakra emerging out of the blond’s skin, enveloping him. He watched with fear as Naruto’s eyes turned red and his nails and teeth became longer. “He’s losing it.” Kakashi spoke softly. “Where the hell is Yamato!”
Slowly Naruto’s body grew a tail, and one more, and one more, only to keep going. Soon the red chakra had grown up to six tails, when Yamato suddenly appeared with Sakura by his side.
“Kakashi-sensei!” The pink-haired girl cried out when she saw the state her sensei was in.
“Sakura, please. Try and heal me quickly, Naruto needs my help.”
“Kakashi-sensei there’s no way you’ll be fighting again anytime soon.” Sakura said as she picked up on the severity of his injury. “Several organs are shred to pieces. I’ll need time.”
Kakashi groaned in pain and frustration. “Fine. Yamato, listen up. Let Naruto fight in his Kyuubi mode. But restrain him when he reaches eight tails. We can’t risk the Nine-Tails breaking free. Try to help him but don’t get too close. He doesn’t recognize friend from foe in this state.”
Yamato nodded as he rushed over to help the young shinobi out from a safe distance.
Naruto, now with wild red eyes, long fangs and deep whisker marks felt hate and anger flare up as never before. In one swift motion he shot forward in the direction of the three remaining figures known as Pain. He attacked them furiously, without thinking, without strategy, his only goal to draw blood and to kill. Kakashi, despite his situation, still tried to observe the enemy. How they moved, how they reacted, how they fought and which techniques they used.
After a long fierce fight, in which Naruto had gathered eight chakra tails from the Nine-Tails, he decided to end it all with a vicious attack, the Tailed Beast Ball. The explosion that followed was immense. Kakashi, Sakura, Yamato and all other shinobi were hurled back several meters as the technique hit its targets, effectively destroying the three remaining Pains, and even more of Konoha’s already damaged buildings. A huge dusk cloud enveloped the battlefield. Kakashi panicked as he felt Naruto’s chakra dropping rapidly without being able to spot his lover.
Yamato and Sakura appeared out of the dust cloud coughing heavily. They seemed to have some deep cuts and bruises, but no lethal injuries. Sakura rushed over to him to continue healing his wounds.
“Yamato, please see if you can spot Naruto. I don’t think he is in Kyuubi mode any longer, but he’ll probably be hurt.” Kakashi said trying to suppress the fear in his voice.
His friend nodded and head back into the battlefield. He emerged a few minutes later carrying an injured and scorched Naruto. The young man seemed to be unconscious but otherwise fine.
“See if you can wake him up. We will need to head out and find the people who were controlling the six Pains before they escape. They have to be close by but well hidden.” He said with a pained expression. “It’s the only way to stop this permanently.”
Yamato nodded as he tried to wake Naruto up. Kakashi closed his eyes and tried to summon his Ninken pack. The effort caused him to groan loudly, but soon enough, his eight dogs appeared.
“Kakashi, what happened.” The small pug named Pakkun asked with concealed concern as he took in the condition of his master and Konoha.
“No time to explain Pakkun.” Kakashi answered with a strained voice. “I need you guys to spread out towards the borders of the city. You need to find two foreign shinobi who will be hidden somewhere. I don’t have a smell-sample, but their chakra should be huge for what they have been pulling off. Try to find their location and report back as soon as possible.” Kakashi commanded his dogs.
The eight creatures nodded before all shooting off in different directions.
Kakashi let his head fall backwards in a loud moan as he was momentarily overwhelmed with pain. Sakura had been able to stop most of the bleeding, but now she had to make Kakashi’s organs grown back together. A painful and difficult feat, even for the skilled kunoichi.
Naruto’s eyes shot open as he heard Kakashi’s suffering moans. He shot upwards and immediately crawled over to where his lover lay down on the ground, surrounded by a slight puddle of his own blood. His movements were stiff and it was clear that the blond was in pain as well. His skin had been shredded and burned by the Nine-Tails’ chakra cloak, but he was relieved that he didn’t sense any of the Pain’s chakra’s any more.
“Kashi, are you alright?” The blond asked worried, not noticing the weird look Sakura gave him for the nickname use.
“I’m fine Naruto.” The silver-haired shinobi lied. “Listen. Pakkun and the rest of my Ninken will soon return with the location of the two Akatsuki members who caused this all. If you’re up to it, then I need you to take Yamato, Sakura and some other shinobi friends of yours to go deal with them. They need to be found and preferably killed.” Kakashi said trying to hide the tremble in his voice.
“No. I’m not leaving you.” The blond said determined.
“Then I’ll command you to do so as your team captain and as your superior.” Kakashi said sternly suppressing another painful groan.
The young shinobi shook his head. “No Kashi…”
“I’ll be fine Naruto. But we need to deal with them. Look at what they did to our home.” Kakashi pleaded as he laid a hand against Naruto’s dirt-covered cheek.
The teen pressed back a sob. “Fine. But promise me you’ll be okay. If I return here only to find that you’re…” Naruto didn’t finish his sentence as he lifted his eyes to look into Kakashi’s.
“I won’t. I promise. Nothing is going to take me away from you. Understood?” The Jonin said with fierce determination. Naruto nodded slowly, unwillingly accepting the situation he was put in.
Sakura, who was still working on healing her sensei didn’t understand the conversation at all. She had expected that the two of them would become closer during their journey, but this close? She found it very confusing and weird to say the least. But for now, she decided to let it pass.
Soon enough, one of Kakashi’s Ninken, the dog named Bisuke returned with the news that he had found two strong shinobi’s in a cave right beyond Konoha’s borders. After hugging his suffering lover close, Naruto took off together with Kiba, Hinata, Ino, Choji and Yamato. Shino would stay with the injured Shikamaru. Together the small group travelled to the east. After a short half hour, they arrived close to a large cave, hidden beneath some larger boulders. It was soon decided that Yamato and Naruto would go in together. Kiba and Choji would keep an eye out for reinforcements, while Kiba, Hinata en Ino would stand guard in case the two enemies would try to escape or I they would be able to overwhelm Yamato and Naruto.
The remaining members of team 10 and 8 soon grew worried as they heard no sounds coming from the cave. No fighting, no yelling, nothing. None the less, they remained at their posts. After a long hour of tense waiting, Naruto and a pale looking Yamato came back out of the cave.
“And?” The four remaining shinobi asked almost simultaneously.
“It’s done”. Naruto said calmly, not much like his usual self. “Pain… or well, Nagato… I talked to him about his motivation for destroying Konoha or hunting me down. I was able to change his mind about how peace should be obtained, which was all this really was about for him. He tried to revive most of the victims he made, but it cost him his own life. His partner, Konan will leave the Akatsuki and will change her ways as well. That’s everything in short.” Naruto explained rather sheepish.
Yamato nodded his head as the four young shinobi looked at him with confusion. He didn’t exactly understand himself how they managed to get the result they had. He only knew that he just saw a side of Naruto which was way more mature and intellectual than he ever expected from the teen. His arguments were logical and strong, and he was able to talk two Akatsuki members out of their evildoings. He shook his head at how the young man was always able to surprise him.
Soon enough, Naruto and the others had returned to the center of Konoha, where many people had been revived from death thanks to Nagato’s final actions. People were left confused, emotionally broken and lost. Nobody really knew what had happened or how they needed to continue now that their entire village was destroyed. However, word of what the Junchūriki kid had done spread fast, and not much later, Naruto was obligated to hold a public speech about the whole situation. Causing the young man to stutter and blush immensely as he spoke to all the shinobi and villagers who were now looking up to him with big questioning eyes.
When he finished his story, they all cheered for him and clapped their hands. At that moment, Naruto finally started to feel somewhat accepted by the people of the village. He searched the crowd for Kakashi’s mismatched eyes. He found them not too far back to the side. Kakashi was leaning heavily onto Sakura and Iruka-sensei, and he looked pale and sickly, but none the less, he was smiling brightly as he looked into Naruto’s eyes, more proud than ever. Naruto smiled back shyly towards him.
Feeling far beyond euphorically and invincible as people were now cheering his name, Naruto gathered all his guts and slowly walked towards his sensei. People’s eyes were now following their hero’s every step. The sounds of celebrations, cheering, clapping and talking all fell quiet in an instant, as Naruto grasped Kakashi’s jonin vest and kissed the older shinobi roughly on the lips. The silence that fell over the crowd was almost eerie and unreal right before a massive amount of noise broke out. People started cheering once more, some were whistling suggestively, some were laughing, clapping and hooting loudly. Some other people, like Sakura for example just remained dead quiet as their eyes almost popped out of their heads. Naruto smiled in sheer happiness when he felt Kakashi grinning against his mouth. As he pulled away, he saw the older shinobi shaking his head wearily.
“You really are Konoha’s most surprising shinobi.” His silver-haired lover said with a small grin.
“Yeah, but at least they all know now.” Naruto said smugly.
Kakashi grimaced painfully as he chuckled. “True.” He said with strained voice. “But I think your impulsiveness left some people speechless.” He added as he gave Iruka and Sakura a pointed look.
Naruto snickered as he looked over to his friends. “They’ll get over it. How about we get you to the hospital hm?” Naruto said as he moved in to support Kakashi’s weight.
“Sounds great.” Kakashi said as he leaned heavily onto the blond.
