Naruto- Secret Sage

Clearly Kakuzu wasn't expecting such power as he didn't dodge fast enough after the attack was launched. His entire body was scattered upon impact but to my surprise his heart monster things that were out of the way of the attack and thus spared gathered together and reformed into a humanoid shape made out of that strange hair material. I pointed my hand at the form intent on obliterating it but immediately my skin cracked open like glass.-

"Tch, already? I'll need to make this fast then." muttered with a frown.

This mode of mine was powerful but came at an extremely large downside, it makes my body collapse at an extremely fast rate as it simply can't handle the strain. If I remain perfectly still and exert no power at all I can only maintain the state for three minutes but if I move at all or exert any strength that time drops drastically the more power I exert. This was why I used such a minimalistic attack just now. Despite that however my arm was now in serious condition and could at most take another attack before falling off.-

"So that power has a heavy cost, you can't withstand your own power in it. What a frightening technique." Kakazu's threads vibrated to project his voice as his scraps of skin and bones were collected and fused into the thread humanoid form.-

I remained silent and brought my hands together while ignoring the pain.

'Saint art: Zeus!' I thought as an ungodly amount of dark colored lightning gathered between my palms.

I opened my palms towards Kakuzu and the world vanished as the lightning release erupted like the wrath of a god and simply erased everything in a massive crater miles wide and deep with smooth molten sides in front of me. I immediately coughed up a large amount of blood as both my arms crumbled away like dust and cracks appeared all over my body as my legs gave out beneath me. With a single thought I ended this clone as it was well and truly done for. 

'Only thirty seconds and two attacks, that state truly isn't meant to be used carelessly.' I thought sluggishly as the spiritual backlash hit me. While I hadn't used the form with my true body the effect on my mind and spirit that was in control of the clone was not small at all.

In fact I could be considered in my weakest state possible at this moment as I could barely even think clearly and had soul deep tiredness clouding my senses. 

"I will be resting for a while, keep the air breathable until I awaken." I commanded my hawk that complained a little but didn't argue.

I was gone the moment I closed my eyes as slumber took me. 

(3rd person POV)

As Kenzo slumbered the destruction he caused started to be talked about and reported as urgent news to the entire world. Besides two people other than him however no one knew what the source of this devastation was but it looked as though a tailed beast had went on a rampage yet none of them were seen by those in the land of fire. If he was there Kenzo would be surprised to see that Kakuzu popped up from the ground behind where his clone had been with a scowl.

"Fucking brat destroyed all but my earth heart and didn't even leave a body behind! This was a complete waste as we can't even collect the bounty!" the abomination grumbled angrily.

"GAR RO HEHER!" the two sides of the immortal wheezed out incoherently from nearby.

"Ugh, you're lucky you are useful or I'd just leave you here." Kakuzu said with a snort but moved to rejoin the two pieces back together.

The immortal quickly recovered once his two parts were joined and angrily cursed Kenzo while stomping on the goo that was all that was left of the clone.

"If you are quite done we should leave before anyone comes sniffing around." Kakuzu said gruffly and the immortal spat on the goo before agreeing and leaving with the abomination.-

In Konoha no one managed to link the news of that destruction to Kenzo due to his summoning beasts behaving normally which would not be the case if he had been in life threatening danger. Despite that the two parties invested in him were thinking of him when the news came in. Tsunade Senju wished that her student hadn't been caught up in the fight that created such devastation and Danzo Shimura wished that he had in fact gotten involved and that he was heavily injured and on the run. Between the two of them only Danzo had the most information since his shinobi were the ones actively hunting Kenzo.-

The dying man was not happy with the results of this operation as Kenzo had pulled out tricks that no one knew about which cost him many shinobi. He didn't blame his operatives so much as cursed Kenzo's name for hiding so much. Most of the plans created to hunt the boy had been scrapped after the first few failures proved that the hidden tricks up his sleeve made them pointless.-

'That cloning technique of his is making this far more difficult than anticipated. In addition the reports say that he has seemingly vanished which means he is likely hiding somewhere and using his clones as a proxy so the source of their locations must be where he is hidden.' the wheezing old man thought as he rested in a chair with an I.V drip connected to his body.

Meanwhile in the Hokages office a meeting was secretly taking place between all of the clan heads besides Danzo himself and Tsunade.

"Have all of the preparations been completed on your ends?" the blonde woman in the Hokages chair asked seriously.

"It was difficult to do without tipping off Danzo but we Hyuga have the genjutsu safety net you asked for in case he used that eyes ability on any of us ready." Hiashi Hyuga said seriously.

"The three of us have set up the seals to prevent escape via reverse summoning as well as a barrier to keep him from running." Shikaku Nara said tiredly when motioning to the Yamanaka head Inoichi and the Akimichi head Choza.

"The Inuzuka and other clans are also ready to throw our forces at him if it comes to that." The clan leader of the Inuzuka clan said with a firm look.
