Asher stood looking as if everyone was peasants to him. He wasn't the top number one ninja in the Death Village, but he was the top number one idiot. Akatsuki sickened him and he'd do anything to completely annihilate them. He'd already given Suri a well deserved beating with the help of Sabin, but now it was time to give Kadaj what he needed to. That way, with him out the way, he could teach Sabin everything he knew without the kid holding back because of "Kadaj wouldn't like this." "I don't think I should do this, Kadaj would be mad." It was all about Kadaj with Sabin and Asher hated. He'd get rid of this problem today!

Kraven didn't deny the fact that he hated the Akatsuki. Partially due to the fact that they were a bunch of outcast, and others for personal reasons. His wings folded back he watched with the rest of the Snow ninja as Micah left to convice Deidara to forget about this war. A hopeless effort. He hated that he could not hear what was being said. "I wish they'd move a little faster, fighting in rain will not help anyone besides ninja with water technique," he said crossly.

Aoi walked up next to Narcissus and looked at him, nudging him in the side. "Hey, quit pickin on the kid, will ya?" She smirked. "Hey, here's an idea, how about you and me compete for most kills insteada pickin on the little guy?"

Micah looked at Deidara. His expression never changing as they spoke. He wasn't about to let this guy take the village that he'd worked hard to keep in a good condition. "Sorry Deidara, but I'm not gonna let that happen," he said. With that he nodded his goodbye and headed back up the hill to prepare his ninja.

"I'm not either,"Kira said."I may be a new kage,but I know enough not to let you guys take my village that I'll protect with my very life,"she said before following Micah's suit and turning and walked up the hill back to her ninja.

Takashi crossed his arms and watched as Takashi and the Magma Kage came back up the hill. Takashi wondered what happened, but he wouldn't move from the spot until Micah was there. He gave a small sigh and waited some more. He was starting to hate waiting for things, he wasn't a patient person.

Kadaj wasn't sure if he'd been waiting his entire life for this moment or that he was just overly excited. He wasn't all that great, but every now and then he enjoyed a fight. But this was different. He was fighting people he knew. But weren't they all. Hadn't everyone once been a ninja without ties to the Akatsuki. Kadaj wondered for a moment longer before spotting two Kages returning to their ninja. What had he missed.

Tenkuu looked at Micah and Kira and then to Deidara. "My point is taken," she said as she stepped back, turned around, and left for her ninja. When she was there she motioned them forward. "It looks like we'll be fighting today," she said. "Watch each others back, and fight hard. Don't lose hope, for this battle will be one to remember,"she said. She then pulled a kunai and waited for the other Kages to return.

Kenjiro nodded to this,smirking and readying a kunai.His sword was at his side and his summoning scroll on his back."This is gonna be a big one,"he said to Tenkuu as he also watched the other kages and Deidara."So,what happened with Kira and Micah?"he asked.

Kitsra was thrilled at the though of fighting the Akatsuki. She had long since awaited this moment. To rid of the Akatsuki and their ways. It was like a dream come true. Holding both of her guns in her hands she watched anxiously as the Kages met with Deidara. She'd rather be down there fighting instead of trying to work things out. Shifting her guns from one hand to the other she sighed. She'd take out those who were unnatural first, for they didn't belong in this world. And then she'd go for the weaker Akatsuki. Then the stronger ones. It was a plan that would not fail. "Tonight the Akatsuki shall disappear."

Kazuya looked at Deidara coldly, his vampire side anxious to unveil itself. "I know I haven't been Kage long, but I won't let my valley fall to the akatsuki." With that, Kazuya turned and started the walk back to his ninjas, leaving Kinaga the last one with Deidara in the center. He looked at Satomi as he was in front of his ninja and said quietly "It seems like all the vallies have decided to fight against the akatsuki."

Kinaga'd purposely waited for the rest of the kage's to leave the center. Because as soon as he'd left the center of the battle grounds, the fight would start. As he looked at Deidara, there was, for the first time in a long time, a lack of emotion on Kinaga's face. "You've made your decision, we've made ours. This war will go down in history, as you already know. Good luck," he said before turning and walking towards the ninja of the Storm. As he turned to walk away he started a jutsu. "Lightning Barrage," he said calmly as he walked. Thunder crashed loudly in the sky and lightning bolts started raining down on the akatsuki's side of the battle field. He'd told his ninja that they'd know when he gave his signal. Well, that was it. The war had begun.

(Okay, personally, I think those last two sentences were epic. XD)

Shen followed behind Tenkuu and took his place in the ranks among the ninja. He was glad nothing'd happened in the center. As he got in the ranks, he nodded as Tenkuu started talking, eager for the battle to start. He was very close to losing himself and attacking the akatsuki without signal, but stopped cold when he saw lightning striking the akatsuki ground. He looked at the Storm kage as he walked back, shock evident on his face. He knew now that that guy was one person he'd never pick a fight with.

Kira watched as the lightning attack came down at the akatsuki.She looked back at her ninja."Get ready!"she told them all.She pulled out her staff and span it,readying it in her hands.She'd been trained to use this well and knew she would need it now.

Kenjiro looked at Tenkuu,waiting for her command to attack.He was ready and could tell Shen was surprised by Kinaga's lightning attack and he was extremely surprised by this himself.He gripped the sheath of his sword,ready to dash out and strike.

Deidara nodded to each of the Kages and then turned slightly as lightning went through the ranks of the Akatsuki. He grinned with amusement. "Well well Kinaga, nice move," he said. He then released his own jutsu. A few weeks ago he'd planted bombs in the battle ground during the kidnapping of a Death Ninja. Deidara turned to face the Shinobi ranks and watch the fireworks. As the bombs exploded he waved his hand in the air. "Don't leave anyone standing," he yelled as he moved forward.

Narcissus laughed at Aoi. "You'll never win," he said to the other Chuunin. He then looked at Tyson and grinned. "Watch you back," he said. He then saw the Akatsuki get struck by lightning. "Hey look, it's started," he said to Aoi. He then looked at Kazuya waiting for the order. "Can we go," he asked. "They're coming."

Kazuya put his arm over his face slightly as the bombs exploded beneath them. He turned slightly to his ninja and yelled "Take them all down!" over the noise of the explosions. He closed his eyes for only a second and let his vampire side take full control. As he turned into his wolf form, he held the air now of something uncontrollable. Let's rip them to shreds, his vampire side thought in excitement as it ran straight into the battle, looking for its first victim.

Shen looked coldly at Deidara as he started the walk back to the akatsuki, his eyes widening slightly when the ground started to explode. Not hesitating, Shen did a jutsu and dropped to a knee, placing his hand on the ground. "Shock absorption," he said quietly. Only about half the explosions died down, most of them in Stealth Valley territory. He flinched as he felt the shocks instead travel up his arm and throughout his body. Quickly, Shen stood up, looking at Tenkuu for her to tell them to go. At this point though, he wasn't sure whether or not to stay human. He could probably fight just as well either way. Only when he was human he could use jutsu. His eyes were glued to Deidara as the akatsuki headed towards them. That would be his target.

Tenkuu hadn't even thought about what Deidara may or may not had been planning until tthe ground exploded around them. She watched in terror as he ninja were taken into the explosion. "Oh God," she whispered almost breathless. She then turned around as the shock died down some. Though smoke surrounded her, she called out. "Stealth Ninja, attack!" She then ran through the smoke and headed for the Akatsuki.

Zeo watched as Nilan trried to take on Deidara, but failed as his leader just brushed her attack off and went to talk to the Kages. As the time progressed and Deidara came back he noticed the lightning becoming stronger in the sky and then came the explosions around the Akatsuki and then the Shinobi. The war had began. He moved with ease past the wannabes and headed for the ninja. Who he'd attack first, was yet to be decided.

Bat grinned as the explosions went off. Regardless of whether it was from his side or the other he enjoyed to hear them cry like children who had taken a very bad fall off the swing. He grinned as he saw Kazuya. "Good," he said as he headed towards him. He appeared infront of him and gave a full grin. "It's been a while," he said. Personally Bat wanted to meet up with Halo before fighting with Kazuya, but he couldn't resist that tempting need to fight the darker side of Kazuya.

"Magma ninja,go!"she shouted,them all dashing forward and leaping.She pulled out several shuriken and tossed them,all of them flying at the akatsuki ranks.Following them,she began a jutsu."Fire style:Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"she shouted,the fireballs disguising the shuriken in a rain of fire.

Kenjiro nodded."Let's go!"he shouted to the ninja and dashed out,pulling out his sword and shuriken.He tossed them out at the akatsuki and looked up,seeing the rainstorm of fireballs.Though it was raining,the fire seemed to turn the water to steam before it even touched it.

Kymir rushed forward as Kazuya gave them the order to atatck. The amount of adrenaline he was feeling made his heart pound in his chest. He was anxious to fight, but still nervous. Pulling a kunai and remember all he'd been taught he attacked the first Akatsuki he made contact with, which happened to be a guy no more than in his teenage years. Kymir punched him square in the stomach following it up with a kick to the side and finishing him with a slice across the chest with a kunai. Kymir knew he'd have to rely on pure instinct to survive.

Shen ran forward swiftly and without hesitation as he heard Tenkuu's command. He sent a roundhouse kick at Deidara as soon as he was sure he was close enough. If the leader was taken down, the akatsuki would be in ruins. He'd heard that was what happened when Deidara'd left, and was attacking Deidara against his better judgement. He wanted to use a scape jutsu against the akatsuki, but there was no guarantee that it wouldn't hit his allies as well.
