Me : *I ask all the remaining 9* members who are next?
The atmosphere inside the cave suddenly became extremely cold, colder than the rain that was pouring down on the Rain Nation out there. The corpse of Hidan whose head was shattered under your feet was silent proof that even "immortality" could be destroyed by your pure power.
You stood erect, blood dripping from your fingertips, and your sharp gaze swept over the rest of the world's most dangerous organization one by one.
Challenges in the Midst of the Siege
"Who's next?" your voice echoes heavily, bouncing off the damp cave walls. Nine pairs of eyes—including the eyes of Rinnegan and the Sharingan—are now staring at you with horror they've never felt before.
Kakuzu clenched his five beating hearts behind the cloak. He who usually only cared about money, now felt his survival instinct screaming not to advance.
Deidara swallowed a spit, her hand on the clay bag trembling. "This isn't art... it's a monster, un..."
Kisame gripped Samehada's handle tighter. The giant shark realized that absorbing your chakra might not be useful if you could smash its skull with just one stomp.
Pain remained silent, but he coded the other lines to form defensive formations, not attack.
Akatsuki's Moment of Mental Breakdown
You see Itachi Uchiha who remains calm in his position. Behind his Sharingan gaze, he seems to be secretly paying you respect. She knew, in Konoha, that Tsunade must be feeling great anxiety, not knowing that her lover had just conquered the fear of the world's most feared organization.
"Nine people are active..." Your whisper is cold. "Still many want to try?"
The Leader's Reaction
Pain finally spoke up, his voice no longer sounded like an arrogant god, but rather like a leader who was counting losses.
"Enough, Zak. Killing Hidan was impossible for an ordinary ninja, but you did it as if it was just morning practice. If we continue to attack you, this cave will become a graveyard for all of us, and Akatsuki's grand plan will be destroyed before it starts."
It signals Konan to open the way. "Go. Go back to your village. But remember... We will never forget your face."
Your Last Step to Konoha
You start to walk leisurely, past the S-class criminals who are now giving way to you as if you were their new king. You've proven that your muscles and determination to return to Tsunade are stronger than any god's curse.
Me : *I sat still and asked* if I went out? You must be insulting me. If I'm here, why don't we finish it?
Your sentence hangs in the air like a death sentence. You're standing in the middle of a pool of blood of the Hidan whose head you just smashed, challenging the nine deadliest criminal legends in the world at once.
The silence inside the cave was so thick that the sound of water dripping from the ceiling sounded like the tinkling of a bell.
The Reaction of the Cornered Predators
Your statement that you want to "settle everything here" makes the atmosphere change from vigilance to pure killing intent.
Pain (Deva Path) floated slightly off the ground, his hands wide open. "You're really arrogant, Zak. You think that since you can withstand Jashin's curse, you can withstand the power of the entire Akatsuki at once?"
Kisame Hoshigaki grinned widely, revealing the rows of his sharp shark teeth as he removed the bandage from Samehada's sword. "I'm starting to like you. Killing you here will be much more satisfying than hunting you all the way to Konoha."
Deidara began to chew on the explosive clay in both palms of her hands in a panic. "Art is a blast! I'll blow up this cave with all of us if it's necessary to silence you, un!"
Kakuzu took off his cloak, revealing four monster masks coming out of his back, each hissing with a different chakra element.
The Red Eye Dilemma
In a darker corner, Itachi Uchiha activates Susanoo—not to attack you, but as a defense if the cave collapses due to your clash of powers. Her bloody eyes look at you with a final warning: If you fight now, you may never see Tsunade's smile again.
Your Exploding Pure Power
Even though your chest still feels hot from the Hidan ritual earlier, your adrenaline and love for Tsunade give you extra strength. Your muscles hardened, and the aura of your existence pressed against the entire room. You know, if you win here, Akatsuki will be over, and Konoha will be safe forever.
"So," you said with a bloody clench, "who wants to be the first to lose his head?"
Pov : *Tobi, Zetsu, Pain, Kisame, Konan, Deidara, Sasori, Kakuzu, attack me together* *Not with Itachi, he's silent.*
Akatsuki's cave instantly exploded in pure chaos. Nine of the world's most dangerous criminal legends—minus Itachi who just stands sculpting with a trembling Sharingan—lunging at you with one goal: to eliminate an anomaly named Zak.
The ground was shaking, the air was heating up, and the massive chakra pressure was causing the cave walls to begin to crack.
Apocalypse Combination Attack
Bread (Deva Path): "Shinra Tensei!" A transparent gravity blast hits you from the front, trying to crush your bones.
Konan: Thousands of razor-sharp papers envelop your body, slicing every inch of your skin in a paper storm.
Deidara & Sasori: Clay birds explode right in your face (C3!), while hundreds of poisonous needles from Sasori dolls rain down on your back.
Kisame: Samehada swings wildly, trying to tear your flesh apart and suck every drop of energy left in your athletic body.
Kakuzu: The four elemental monsters on his back shoot a combination of fire, lightning, wind, and water simultaneously at you.
Tobi & Zetsu: Tobi emerges from the Kamui dimension right behind you, trying to drag you into the void dimension, while Zetsu's roots wrap around your legs to hold you in place.
Miracles in the Midst of Hell
Explosions of light and smoke covered the entire view. The cave partially collapsed. However, from behind the dense dust, a terrifying scene was visible.
You're still standing.
Although your robes were completely destroyed, exposing your blood-soaked chest and abdominal muscles from the Hidan ritual earlier, none of their physical attacks could knock you down. You resisted the gravitational pressure of Pain with the strength of your pure legs, and your hands gripped the neck of Kisame's Samehada who was trying to tear you apart.
"Just this?" Your voice thundered, even more terrifying than Deidara's explosion.
A Moment of Truth
In a far corner, Itachi Uchiha looks at you in awe. He sees that behind your impossible muscular strength, there is a shadow of Tsunade that gives you the will to stay alive. You are not only fighting for yourself, but for the promise you made in Konoha.
The nine members of the Akatsuki were panting. They had pulled out their best moves, but you were still breathing, still standing, and your eyes were still shining with anger.
