------------------------
Rumble... Rumble...
On top of the Hokage Headquarters,
Tremors run across the entire village due to the aftereffect of the jutsu.
"What's happening?" Panic spread across Konoha's shinobis as the scale of the earthquake is never like before.
"Tsunade Nee-san, take a look at this?" Kushina shares the image of a floating Konoha through a bird's eye view.
"This is..." The eyes of clan leaders widen to the extreme.
A gigantic planetary body composed of the entire Konoha is floating in mid-air between two gigantic Tai Chi formations. Multiple chakra chains are holding Konoha in its current place.
"God! It's the work of a God."
Multiple shinobis shudder in fear at the sight of the cataclysmic event.
"Is this the power of legendary Rinnegan?" Fugaku mutters as he stares at the floating sphere with trepidation.
"No wonder all Uchiha ancestors were obsessed with this power. The Uchiha stone tablet holds the secret to obtaining the power of the Sage of Six Paths. But anyone has yet to achieve such power. But this... this is really the power of a God!" He remarks.
"No wonder Akatsuki dared to attack Konoha. With a jutsu of such scale, they aren't afraid of reprisal from a hidden nation." Shikaku mutters. He places his hand on his forehead and enters a deep-thinking state.
Meanwhile, Shizune passes a scroll to Tsunade.
Tsunade bites her thumb and drips a drop of blood on it.
"Mechanical Eight Trigrams Formation"
Poof...
A giant Taiko drum appears in front of her.
Tsunade infuses some chakra into her palm and slaps it on the drum.
"Fourth Form: Pillar of Heavens,"
Rumble... rumble... rumble...
The streets and buildings of Konoha tremble continuously.
Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...
Multiple thick, gigantic rock pillars erupt from the ground. The entire Konoha terraforms as multiple houses, shops, and buildings disappear or enter the ground.
The giant pillars form a network and support the entire village from crumbling by holding the massive amount of rocks and debris crushing onto the protective barrier.
"Kushina strengthens the protective barrier around Konoha. Use all of our chakra ore reserves, if you have to." She instructs Kushina.
"Got it!"
A few seconds later,
Rumble... Bzzt...
A dense conglomeration of chakra spreads throughout the barrier and repairs the cracks in it. The size of the barrier expands and resists the repulsive force of the two Tai Chi formations.
"We have the leave the rest to Jiraiya and others. I hope they will be able to stop the Akatsuki members." Tsunade murmurs silently.
------------------------
A few minutes before the upheaval of Konoha,
Snap... snap...
Kakuzu cracks his neck and glares at Naruto.
"Brat, usually I am a reasonable person. But it looks like I have to teach you a lesson."
Kakuzu riles up his chakra.
Bang...
The ground beneath him cracks apart from the pressure of his chakra. Kakuzu makes some quick hand signs.
"Water Release: Howling Jet stream,"
He spews out a high-speed pressurized stream of water from his mouth.
Whoosh...
Naruto lowers his head and avoids the jet of water.
Haah...
Kakuzu controls the direction of the jet and chases after Naruto.
Naruto continues to perform a backflip and avoid the water jet.
Hehe...
Suddenly, Naruto smirks and turns around.
"You were never my target, to begin with."
"Rasengan,"
Naruto creates a Rasengan in his hand and slams it toward the chakra magatama feeding the massive floating landform.
"Damn it! I was fooled."
Kakuzu's expression changes slightly.
BANG...
A leg breaks out of the ground and kicks Naruto's back.
Bang...
The surprise attack sends Naruto flying away from the chakra magatama.
"Earth Release: Earth Spear,"
Kakuzu pulls out his hardened leg from the ground.
Snap...
The leg reattaches to his body.
"Hey, that's cheating!" Naruto stands up without as much as a single injury.
"Also, that's so gross. Hairs are wiggling throughout his entire body."
'These aren't hairs, they are threads.' Yang Kurama's voice echoes in Naruto's mind.
'Naruto... just now, I received an urgent message from Kushina.'
'Mom?!'
'Mm... she said not to attack the chakra magatama. This chakra orb is like a bomb. If you recklessly attack it; the chakra inside it will go out of control and explode.'
'Oh! Then I suppose I will take down this bad guy. Also, he doesn't know, I don't want to attack that chakra bead anymore. I will use it to my advantage. Hehe...'
Naruto stands up and makes a hand sign.
"Multiple shadow clone jutsu,"
He creates four shadow clones and dashes toward the chakra bead. His shadow clones surround Kakuzu and prevent him from interfering.
Clang... clang...
Kakuzu blocks Naruto's clone attacks with his hardened body. Naruto reaches close to the chakra bead and feints to attack it.
"No, you don't!"
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage,"
He spews out a massive compressed tornado from his mouth. The compressed wind pressure blows away the surrounding trees and engulfs Naruto and his clones.
Poof... poof... poof....
Naruto's clones instantly disperse into white smoke. While the real Naruto coats his hand with wind chakra to hold the compressed tornado at bay.
"I want to try something new. I wonder if it's possible."
He applies shape transformation to the wind chakra compressed in his hands and rotates it in the opposite direction to that of Kakuzu's tornado.
After a few seconds,
Fwoosh...
Kakuzu's tornado disperses entirely without dealing any damage to Naruto.
"It works!" Naruto rubs his swollen hands.
"Impossible!" Kakuzu's eyes widen in shock. This kid blocked one of my most lethal attacks with his bare hands without taking any sort of damage."
Kakuzu's expression hardens as he gets serious.
"What's your name, kid?"
"I am Uzumaki Naruto. Bear it in your mind!"
Naruto pumps his fully healed fists.
"Looks like you have got some skills. It's time for me to get serious."
Kakuzu removes his cloak and throws it aside to reveal five masks on his back.
"Recently, I made massive improvements to my jutsu thanks to the help given by the leader. I hate to say it, but I am still no match for his power. However..."
Kakuzu leans forward.
Sciish... Zip... Riip...
Eeugh... Aaaah... Haah... Urgh...
He screams violently as multiple masses of black thread-like structures sprout from the five faces on his mask.
Eww...
Naruto holds his stomach and almost retches at the sight.
"That's so scary and disgusting. It's more disgusting. I almost puked my breakfast." He mumbles.
"... after this fight, I will add your heart to my collection and further perfect my technique to accumulate all chakra nature, including yin and Yang."
Sciish... Zip...
Multiple black threads sew the holes in Kakuzu's back.
'Heaven Grudge Fear,'
Five gigantic rag doll-like bodies of threads stand beside him. Each grudge has a respective elemental mask on its face.
"Try to block this!"
The lightning and fire elemental grudge masks stand on Naruto's respective side.
Bzzt... Sizzle...
Lightning and fire crackle near the mask of the grudge as both of them release a powerful elemental jutsu.
'Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work,'
'Lighting Release: False Darkness,'
Boom...
Shockwaves travel through the earth as dust and debris rise at the point of impact. The overload of two elemental jutsu devastates the surroundings to an extensive degree.
Fwoosh...
Naruto jumps out of the dust cloud unharmed. There is a lick of flames on his jacket.
"I caught fire! Atata... tata..."
He quickly extinguishes the fire with his hands.
'He withstood that!' Kakuzu's expression changes again.
'This looks like an idiot and behaves like one. But he has got high-level skills to survive three of my most powerful jutsus without taking any damage.'
"Man, that was hard to block!" Naruto waves his sizzling hands.
"Controlling two distinct elements at the same time seems to be too much for me for now. I have to train harder."
Naruto cracks his knuckles and turns to Kakuzu.
"Oi... old voodoo doll! It's time I end your freakish ritual."
Bang...
Naruto kicks the ground.
Swoosh...
He disappears from his place and instantly reappears behind Kakuzu's body.
"He's so fast! When did he..."
Kakuzu's eyes widen as Naruto's punch closes on his face.
Bang...
Naruto's fist lands squarely on his cheek and sends him blasting through multiple trees.
Swoosh...
Naruto disappears and reappears behind Kakuzu. He punches the latter again and sends him flying in another direction.
BANG... BANG...
Naruto continues to beat Kakuzu like a rag doll. His grudges are unable to get a hold of Naruto's position.
"Eat this!"
He cups and clenches his fists in mid-air and slams Kakuzu's back.
BANG...
Kakuzu rams into the ground and creates a medium size crater on the ground.
