Naruto smirked at him, "You're right, So why doesn't Hidan just leave and chase her down so that you and me can have it out. There's nothing keeping him there, hell he can even stab at me while we're fighting can't he? Just by attacking himself?" Naruto's smirk turned to a manic grin, "Unless he has to stay right where he is to keep his little link to me! Am I right?" He shouted at both Akatsuki members.
"Shut up brat!" Hidan yelled back and he dug his pike back into his thigh, bringing Naruto to his knees.
Naruto's laughing fit hit a hitch when he took the damage that Hidan dealt out, but it came right back, "No matter what you two do there's no way I'm letting go of this jutsu. You both know I have the chakra to hold you here for as long as I want. Hidan can't move because the second he moves I will unleash all hell on him. And every second I hold you there Kakuzu Yugi-chan gets farther and farther away."
Kakuzu glared at his electric prison, "You think you've won? You think this is over?"
Naruto shook his head, "No I don't think I've won. At best this is the ultimate stalling tactic. But it's better than letting you get us both. Even if you catch me you said it yourself that you have to wait to seal the Kyuubi last, so that gives time for a rescue attempt. And to even seal me you have to at least catch Gaara, re-catch Yugi-chan, and I'm not even going to mention Kirabi. If you can put him down then you deserve to take the Kyuubi."
"So what you said to the girl." Kakuzu pieced together, "About how it was never about winning or losing." Naruto nodded, "It was never about winning or losing, it was about surviving. And I'd say that we're both going to survive this one don't you think?"
Kakuzu frantically turned to Hidan, "Hidan make him drop the barrier now!"
Hidan started pounding away at his legs and arms with his pike, trying to weaken Naruto's hold on the seal he had his hands held in. He repeatedly stabbed away at his left arm, "Let go of the jutsu damn you! You can't keep taking this, no one can!"
Naruto held his teeth together and hung tough as the Kyuubi now had time to heal his other injuries due to Hidan's focus on his arm, and the way he was his healing increased due to the one-tailed cloak surrounding him, "I can take this all day you fucking wuss! Is that all you've got, all you're willing to do to get me to break? I've taken worse than this when I was 6 years old! Kill me! Fucking do it already you pussy! You can't break the jutsu!" He said before breaking into loud, pain filled laughter.
Hidan shrieked insanely as he started carving up his own chest with the pike trying to up the ante, "Shut the fuck up!"
"What's the matter?" Naruto roared, "Aren't you having fun? Weren't you enjoying this just a minute ago? Answer me goddamn it! How about you Kakuzu, you enjoying the show?"
"That's it!" Hidan drove the pike directly through the palm of one of his hands and ground it around deeply,
One of Naruto's hands went limp, dropping the jutsu that had Kakuzu trapped and the Taki nuke-nin took off in the direction that Yugito took, "Hidan finish the brat off and start getting him out of here! I'm going after the Nibi!"
Hidan looked himself over. He was a total mess. He had stabbed his arm into hamburger meat, if he could walk after the damage he did to his thighs to keep Naruto on the ground he would be shocked, and his chest was spilling blood openly after the carnage he had wrought on himself to hurt Naruto. He found solace in the fact that the intended target of his butchery was looking just as horrible as he was. Naruto's clothing stayed intact, but the blood was seeping through his pants and running down his legs from his wounds on his thighs. His top was sticking to his chest, stained entirely red by the blood from his chest and blood completely covered his arms from those injuries.
Which is why it was so surprising to see Naruto stand right back up so quickly after taking all of that damage to his limbs, "Finally." Naruto said in the gravelly voice that using the Kyuubi's chakra gave him, "That should be more than enough time for her to give him the slip and now I've finally got you all to myself, and better yet you've already done half of my job for me."
"What the fuck are you on about now?" Hidan asked as he still had his pike stuck in his hand. "Kakuzu was the real threat the entire time." Naruto said, his face still smirking, "While I kept my eyes on Kakuzu the first time we fought you were always there, just walking right through any offense I threw and coming at me while I was avoiding him. You even got in the way of a few attacks from your partner just so you could hit me. Alone, you're nothing to me."
Hidan seethed at the insult, "We'll see how much shit you talk after I carve you a new hole to speak out of!" He tried pulling at the pike in his hand to deal Naruto more damage, but it stuck fast. Before he could look up, Naruto was in his face and unleashed a savage uppercut to his body that sent both Hidan and himself flying backwards into rock formations, crumbling them from the force of the impact. The good thing for Hidan was that the punch dislodged the pike from his hand.
"Ugh." Naruto emerged from his rubble spitting blood, "It was either that or punch you in the face and I really don't feel like growing my teeth back right now." Hidan crawled out of his own side, "You little bastard. This isn't over." He had to get back inside of the circle or it was indeed over. He could barely move and yet this punk kid was not only still standing, he could still move about and beat the crap out of him. He had to wonder what was keeping him going, not only that but what kind of threshold for pain did he have?
Hidan shakily reached his feet and began his all out rush to reach the Jashin circle to continue his torture of Naruto when he saw the red blur that was the Kyuubi powered Naruto coming at him again, "Not this time!" Hidan pulled his scythe back and blocked Naruto from punching him again when a second tail bubbled from Naruto's chakra cloak. Hidan got a good look at the grinning Naruto whose face looked like pure evil once his lips took on a black outline as his red eyes seemed like they locked with his very soul.
