Chapter 4- Akatsuki VS The First Upper Moon Part 2

The four members of the Akatsuki would join together in a row, looking at the smoke screen formed around the crater. As the smoke cleared, they got a good view of the unharmed Naruto. Any trace of friendship or mercy was gone from his face, only leaving a stoic face staring with angry eyes.

"I didn't do anything to him."-Said The Paper Angel, Konan seriously. From her point of view, the upper moon didn't even a scratch on clothes let alone his body.

"That is sadly not true. You saw that too right Itachi?"-Pain said to Uchiha, who could only turn and look at his leader seriously and nod.

"What do you mean by that?"-The Queen of paper, Konan asked. Turning slightly to look at both Pain, and Itachi from the edge of her vision. Not wanting to turn and let her eyes move off Naruto.

"His body was full of third-degree or even higher burns, However, in less then a second he..."-Itachi couldn't bring himself to finish, He felt as if he had put himself in a genjutsu.

Not feeling the same horror, Pain continued the explanation for Itachi so the others knew.

"He fully regenerated. Each burn, each wound, even the tears of his clothes, was regenerated in less than a second."-Pain looked towards the Upper moon with more interest than he had before, Their are many who have claims of regeneration but it seems like the rumours about the Six-eyed demon were true.

This man wasn't a fake. But Pain knew that he wasting time analysing him, Giving a signal to the red head beside him to try and immobilise the Upper Moon.

"Sasori....."-Pain stated

"You don't need to tell me, I know what to do."-The red head calmly said. A puppet appearing behind him, expelling a black sand.

Naruto appeared to show surprise as the dust that had started to surround him, before turning into iron needles that shoot towards him. Before the needles could hit their mark, Naruto dodged doing a high jump, leaving the crater and arriving before the red head.

"That power, Iron sand, I know of only one person who can currently use it...I see.....So you must be Sasori of the Red Sand."-Naruto spoke aloud in a calm voice.

"Am I true?"

Sasori only looked towards Naruto with a smile.

"I didn't know that my own tale would be known to the upper moon."-Sasori said, all the while as he prepared more iron sand.

"You can call me Kokushibo, for the moment, and the truth is that I knew of you by hearing your tale traveling. I have to say your age doesn't match your appearance."-Naruto said as he gripped his sword with an increasing force.

"You know Sasori, the use of Iron sand is good at both attack and defence, but it still contains a serious problem...."-Naruto said. Sasori became confused by the abrupt change of conversation.

Naruto disappeared from Sasori's sight, startling him just enough that Sasori had jumped backwards. Barely seeing Naruto appear in front of him attempting to decapitate him. Only sparing a few seconds to say some words too Sasori.

"Iron sand is quite slow."

Naruto was barley a few millimetres away from removing Sasori's head from his shoulders. But as all hope was drained from the Ex-Suna puppet master he heard the only two words able to save his life.

*Shinra Tensei* (Almighty push)

Only the two words was heard over the sound of the very earth being pushed away. Pain's arm was outstretched, And the area around him seem to bend away in a cone shape.

Naruto was shot away from his prey. The only thing he could do was pirouette(an act of spinning on one foot) in the air to help his landing, as he fell back down to earth.

Naruto searched for the cause of the attack only to lock eyes with the Akatsuki leader, who's arm was still outstretched to him. There was a silence that came upon the people present, Before Pain utter two more words.

*Chibaku Tensei* (Planetary Devastation)

To Naruto's total surprise, He begin to float in the air like a balloon. It was almost calming in a unique way. Well that was until everything around begin floating towards him as well. Fallen trees ripped out of the ground, Countless stones, even water from a stream that had been in forest long before it's recent destruction, Even a nearby mountain seem to fall apart and came together around Naruto in less than a few seconds.

Naruto was trapped within a Giant sphere.
