ATRG#6: The Battle of Traitors and Star-Crossed Lovers

LGBTQ+ Adventure Drama

Written in response to: "Write a story about two people who need each other, but are too stubborn to admit it." as part of Stubborn as a Bull.

โ€œWe broke up after...some events happened.โ€

I gaped at her. Sasori shook his head.

โ€œWhy the fucking hell is he here?โ€

โ€œHow am I supposed to know?โ€

I butted in.

โ€œIs Gray okay?โ€

Konan opened her mouth, but Itachi cut her off.

โ€œWe are here. Letโ€™s go.โ€

He looked grim, angry, and sad. Sadder than he always is. Kisame didnโ€™t even say anything, he just followed Itachi.

โ€œUh...Is it just me, or is Itachi being more of a depressed princess than his usual dumb self?โ€

โ€œSasori, it isnโ€™t only him, Kisameโ€™s also acting strange. Letโ€™s just go.โ€

I mentally prepared myself, shaking my nerves off. I had trained my jutsus almost everyday, and I hoped that I could at least survive.

As we opened the door, rushing out to greet six ugly corpses. They had stopped banging the door awhile ago. The least ugliest stepped towards Konan.

โ€œKonan.โ€

โ€œNagato.โ€

It was clear at once that they still loved each other, but they didnโ€™t say it. They just stood there, staring at each other.

Then I felt a sword slice my shoulder.

K-Kisame?!

He prepared to slice me again, and I ran, tried to dodge my ex-teammate's sword.

โ€œWhat the fuck, Itachi?โ€

Sasori had taken out one of his puppets, and was dueling with Itachi. I couldnโ€™t comprehend why they would turn on us. Konan was slicing the corpse that had talked with paper, clearly not hurting him, though.

โ€œKISAME. WHAT. THE. HELL!โ€

I gripped his sword, and tried to wrench it from him. He tugged it back, shouting โ€œYou wouldnโ€™t get why!โ€

โ€œFine then! I thought that I could trust you!โ€

I kicked him in the face, jumping on his sword and punching him again. He stumbled and then slashed me with his sword, getting me in the ankle. I uppercutted him, and he fell unconscious. I felt tears in my eyes, partly from the pain, but also because I thought that Itachi and Kisame would help us. Itachi had joked with me, talked with me, and was just a really cheerful and helpful person.

Or so I thought.

โ€œARGH!โ€

I glance over at Sasori, who was holding his broken arm, the puppet limp on the floor. Itachi stood over him, really to land the final blowโ€ฆ

โ€œNOT MY BOYFRIEND, YOU BITCH!โ€

A familiar blondie rushed to Itachi, and threw an explosive on his face.

โ€œDei..?โ€

โ€œHi, Sasori.โ€

Deidara turned to Itachi again, and began yeeting bombs at him, Itachi managing to dodge most of them, but getting his robe caught on fire.

โ€œDamn-โ€

โ€œYou should focus on yourself, girl.โ€

I looked into the eyes of another corpse.

He smashes me in the stomach, and throws aโ€ฆ a cage over me. Clutching my stomach, I wheeze out โ€œLet...Me...Go!โ€

โ€œSorry. Girls like you need to stay in the cage.โ€

Helpless, I could only watch as he ran to Deidaraโ€ฆ

Suddenly, I blacked out.

***

Hello, Kama Hatake. Or Master, shall I say?

Who are you?

I am the one who can awaken The strength of one hundred seals on your forehead, and give you immense power. My name is Chomei, the seven tails.

How do I know that you can be trusted?

I made you black out. I can control you when you are on the brink of failure. Here. Let me show you.

***

I awoke with purple chakra flowing across my body and strange, swirly lines across my body. Immerse power was flowing through me.

Time, it seemed, had slowed down. I raised my glowing fist, and punched the cage.

โ€œHAAA!โ€

The cage shattered, and I ran towards Mr. Ugly, ready to tank the blow for Dei, even if it meant getting critically injured.

A giant yellow shield surrounded me.

โ€œKama!โ€

Gray arrived, along with a pretty blue-haired lady that immediately punched one of the corpses, an older man who sended three giant red fists at another corpse, a third boy, who was shielding me, and an old woman, โ€œKAYY-YAAA!โ€-ing an enemy.

Dei was looking at me with surprise as he hugged Sasori. I gave him a โ€œDonโ€™t worry about it.โ€ look.

The boy who saved my life was now shielding the redhead and the blue woman.

Just then, Zetsu appeared, heading towards Sasori.

I thought : Oh, heโ€™s healing him.

But Zetsu flung a dart at Sasori, who blocked it.

Shit. Zetsuโ€™s a betrayer too!

Konan looked horrified as she โ€œdueledโ€ with her ex. She had a desperate look on her face, and clearly needed her ex. But she still didnโ€™t tell him.

The blue-haired woman (whose name was Allegra) rushed towards them, and started healing, which Zetsu was supposed to do.

Three people that betrayed us.

Three people that were once people I thought I could trust.

Threeโ€ฆ  

I rushed towards the corpse that trapped me, clutching my hand into a fist.

โ€œYou may have trapped me last time, but nowโ€ฆโ€

โ€œIโ€™ll do it again!โ€ He snarled, leaping at me.

Those were his final words. I screamed โ€œGo to hell!โ€ and smashed him with everything I had. He got obliterated.

Suddenly, Chomei pulled me into a memory.

***

โ€œHello! My name is Rin Noroha! This is my husband Kakashiโ€ Rin pointed at Kakashi, who was reading a book, โ€œand his boyfriend, Might Gai!โ€

It cuts to Might Gai flashing a smile at the camera, and holding a thumbs up.

โ€œWe all hope you will take care of Kama!โ€

Then it cuts to blackness.

Why did that make me so happy?

***

The battle rages on. Two of the corpses are down (One by Deidara and one by me.) Three traitors. Itachi. Kisame. Zetsu. Only Itachiโ€™s fighting, though. Kisame was knocked out by me, and Zetsu is doing nothing.

The Four Masterโ€™s that Gray found are very helpful, but the battle is taking its toll. Allegraโ€™s constantly healing people. Armando keeps swinging. Abdonis puts up numerous shields. And Guru Andma slices enemies.

Just when I think it canโ€™t get any worse, a fourth person arrives on their side, at the same time as another person on our side. These new arrivals startle everyone, and the battle stops for a few precious moments.

Kakuzu, surrounded by black mist, and Hidan have arrived at the scene.

Unedited and Awesome - (Thank you Sia)

EEEEEEEEEEE TRATIORS AND LOVERSSSSS HEHEHEE

Lol, if I knew more about Naruto and stuff, I would absolutely make "What the fuck, Itachi?" an inside joke. Sort of reminds me of Persona 5's Akechi, lol.

Okay so while you absolutely KILLED it again and wrote an amazing fanfic, I do have one little bit of critique; in the last little blurb section, I don't think you needed to begin with "The battle rages on". It feels a bit redundant and plain. Maybe an action line as an intro would have been better?

Ooh maybe imma do that when he gets to the hq

Aahhh, maybe I should break someoneโ€™s leg hehehee
