SPOILERS AHEAD "there are plenty of ways to fight eye techniques. what should we do? when it's one-on-one, run away.. When it's two-on-one, get from behind what do you mean? 'when it's one-on-one, run away' it's obvious, right? In that situation, you can’t win. But if it's two on one, if one person gets caught in a genjutsu, the other can attack from behind. And if you attack the user, the genjutsu vanishes. Or if an attack isnt possible, you can dispell the genjutsu by hitting your ally. In other words, since there are several of us, person will be the diversion, and the rest will attack the sharingan's blind spot from behind."
Pakkun, kakashi's dog, already found the Akatsuki hideout. The hideout was somewhere below a cliff, infront of a running stream. It has a boulder as a door and a traditional Japanese temple with ninja seals stuck to it. This means that the boulder would move if the right jutsu would be cast out properly and perfectly. It was said that it was in the boundary of Sunakagure and Takigakure (waterfall village).
Knowing this, Pakkun returned to Kakashi and gave out the information that he recently found. Soon after, Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura and Baa-san went out to the rescue, while Pakkun was ordered to tell team Gai (who is on their way to Suna and is the nearest to the hideout) to trail back and raid the akatsuki's hideout.
On each team's way, of course, they encountered oponents. But not just any regular oponents, these are Hoshikage Kisame and Uchiha Itachi from the S-class criminal group, Akatsuki. Team Kakashi encountered the boy who killed his own family, Uchiha itachi.
So, let's begin talking, shall we?
The fight started off with a lot of staring and plan making infront of the oponent. The one who used a technique first was Itachi, the Sharingan. Kakashi warned everyone not to look directly into his eyes and just look at his body movemetnts and his feet then lifted up his forehead protector to use the Sharingan. But, still, kakashi was first to attack. Kakashi needed Naruto, sakura and baa-chan to back him up while he act cool and say 'go ahead’ mrgreen . Anyway, Kakashi sped up to Itachi and attempted to punch him on the face but was stopped by Itachi's hand and the moment that happened, a kage bunshin (shadow clone) of itachi ran towards Naruto and the group then Naruto appeared and used the rasengan to attack but then again, it was only a kage bunshin! POOF!! Smoke was all-over. Naruto couldn't find the opponent. Once the smoke cleared out, he saw ALL of his teammates lying down as if they were beaten in a fight. Sakura and baa-chan stood up and suddenly became Itachi! Kakashi also stood up, he also became itachi! Obviously, Itachi used Kage bunshin and Kawarimi technique for this strategy. Naruto was confused. Who wouldn't be? Naruto, not knowing what was happening, got prepared and threw kunais to each of the clones. Each of the clones got hit and bounced off but did not vanish like a normal kage bunshin would! It flew backwards still with the kunai stuck to their bodies and suddenly changed into black crows in mid-air! Naruto soon realizes he is in Itachi's genjutsu. The crows formed Itachi's body floating in the air. He explained to Naruto that His eyes weren't his only way to cast genjutsu. He can cast it with only pointing one finger to the opponent . Naruto remembers that Itachi pointed out to him before Kakashi attacked Itachi. So, from the point when Naruto used the rasengan to attack Itachi until the present, Naruto was in a genjutsu. A dream and an illusion. Naruto goes back to the time when Jiraiya taught him how to dispell genjutsu. And thus, he tried to dispell the genjutsu. Itachi was impressed but the uchiha clan's genjutsu wouldn't be that easy to defeat. The crows suddenly became shurikens and they hit Naruto while concentrating on his chakra. Naruto accquired a wound on his face and his skin suddenly started peeling off! After all the peeling, half of his face was occupied by sasuke's 2nd stage form. A destined meeting? No. More like a disgusting meeting (creepy~). It did not only stay there. It talked!! And controlled Naruto's right hand and tried to suffocate Naruto! Now, Sakura's head grew out of Naruto's tummy. Literally. Sakura's head was talking about Naruto being the reason why sasuke wasn't able to go back to konoha. Then, Kakashi grew out of Naruto's arm and was saying that naruto failed him! And lastly, Gaara's eye and tatoo formed in his hand saying that it was always him who got to be happy. Everything seemed real (I guess even for the audience..well..of course..). Naruto knew that it was only a genjutsu but it seemed soo real that he already cried. While this was happening, a flash back occured in his mind about how to dispell a genjutsu with your teammates around; It was to stop the chakra flow of the person that is being affected by the genjutsu by laying on your hands to that person and concentraiting on your chakra as well. This, he shouted out and, tadaa!!(lolz) he was dispelled by Sakura and Baa-chan. Naruto, was finally free from the tormenting genjutsu of itachi… courtesey of the sharingan..
Kakashi moved back and asked if everything's okay. Naruto was still shocked from the incident but replied yes. He snapped out of it after, quite awhile. So, the real fight begins now. Itachi kicks off with the Katon, Housenka no jutsu (Fire element, mythical firebird technique). Kakashi perfectly dodges it. Next up was the katon, goukakyuu no jutsu (fire element, Great Fireball Technique) in which, Naruto, Sakura and baa-chan perfectly dodges too. After all the comotion that those two techniques cost, Kakashi appears getting ready to use the Raikiri, Kakashi's better version of the Chidori. Kakashi charges to Itachi dragging his hand with the Raikiri (as if holding a bowling ball) to the ground and attempts to hit itachi but, fails. Then, from the sky, Naruto comes down and hits itachi right down to his stomach but--but...but!! It was still a kage bunshin. Team kakashi hides behind the trees while mist froms. Sakura was aware of the technique being used; it was the Kirigakure no Jutsu (hiding mist technique). Baa-chan said that it was Kakashi's technique and was a message to get ready to fight. This was used to make genjutsu making harder and to take cover. Kakashi eventually goes out of hiding and switches from defence to offence. He throws kunais to itachi but he dodges it and casts out Housenka no jutsu. A huge fireball heads to kakashi and kakashi suddenly disappears. THe mist is all cleared now. The, Kakashi comes out of the ground and attempts punche itachi from the bottom. Kakashi switches to close combat from far combat. Itachi and Kakashi swing into action to a close fight. They look each other into the eye. Eventually, Kakashi finds himself in a genjutsu made by Itachi's Sharingan in which he appears to be a paper doll that is burnt entirely. But itachi wasn't successful using his genjutsu. From the position of Kakashi a while ago, bore a hole with kakashi getting out from it. The person that itachi was fighting after kakashi's attack from underground was only a kage bunshin. Kakashi then orders Naruto to ignore the clone and attack Itachi. Naruto attacks with a clone and an all-new technique: The Oodama rasengan (giant ball rasengan). It hits Itachi. But, not successfully. A huge explosion occurs and naruto notices a smile on itachi's face. Something seemed to be wrong...
oh dear!! Its..Its..Its!!! It's Yura's face!! Well, it is actually Yura. Seems like Itachi used Kawarimi technique, or replacement technique, to make it seem like it is him that is fighting the team. This technique im not really that sure about is something really clever. I would admit.
So, all in all, this was such a magnificent/wonderful fight. This shows the fully grown Naruto and Sakura, Lee, Neji and Ten-Ten.
Techniques used rasengan oodama rasengan: giant ball rasengan genjutsu/sharingan kage bunshin kawarimi raikiri: lightning edge katon, housenka no jutsu: fire element, mythical firebird tech. katon, goukakyuu no jutsu: fire element, Great Fireball Technique technique Kirigakure no Jutsu: hiding mist technique
