Akatsuki attack Konoha

Sasoto stood, talking with one of his bretheren ninja. It was his shift for guard duty. Sasoto hated guarding, nobody ever tried to break into the leaf villigage. Little did he know that someone would this day.........

Zyrag strolled casually up to the gates ready to go to Ichiraku. He forgot he was still wearing his akatsuki robe.

Sasoto glanced behind him. When he saw the man with the red pattern cloak, he spun around, kunai in hand. "Go get reinforcements.." He told the other ninja. The other ninja nodded and took off.

He saw a man in a black cloak on guard duty. "Hello." He said walking past still unaware of how he was dressed.

Sasoto's hand went into his coat pocket, he pulled out 4 shuriken and threw them broadly at the Akatsuki agent.

Suddenly he felt four tingling sensations in his back. Luckily for him having bone armor on became a constant habit. He turned around seeing the same man. Zyrag gave him a questioning look as if to ask what was wrong.

"Dont play dumb with me!" He made some hand signs "Fire style Fireball Jutsu!" A huge ball of fire shot out of his mouth, aimed with deadly precision at Zyrag.

He raised his arm and shot a spinning spike into the center of the flames, making them diverge away from him. Then he noticed that he was still wearing his robes. "I guess I have to fight this guy..." he thought beginning bone laying.

(Like a drill sorta)

'What was that?!' Sasoto thought, 'He destroyed my fireball so easily'. He made some more handsigns " Fire Style Magma Clone Jutsu!" Three clones appeared. The first one drew a sword and rushed at Zyrag

In a fluid movement he formed a bonesword, knocked the sword to the side and twisted with that movement into a decapitation. He stood waiting for the others.

As the clone fell, it burst into molten lava, 30% of said lava flew in the direction of Zyrag.

He felt burning on him and looked at his left side. He scraped the lava off with his sword not caring if he cut the skin. He was thankful for bone armor. "Hmm..." he said to himself, setting up bone minefield.

The other two clones ran side by side. "Summoning Jutsu!" oine clone said and slammed his palm on the ground. A giant lizard creature arose from the ground and lashed its tounge out at Zyrag, wrapping him up in it.

Finding himself suddenly in the air and restrained he decided to see what the man would do.

"Deflect this bastard!" The real Sasoto and the other cloneeach pulled out 5 paper bomb kunai and threw them at Zyrag.

Seeing several kunai flying at him, he had seconds to react. He used eruption to break out of the restraint and shadowstepping behind the man, and holding a new bone sword to his neck. He simultaniously probed the ground seeing that he* was standing on the edge of where bone laying ended. The lizard creature wailed in pain as its tongue was almost simultaniously cut and burned.

(*zyrag)

Sasoto felt Zyrags bone sword by his throat. He tapped it aside and kicked Zyrag in the chest, a move he was sure would stun him at least.

*Raku rose from Sasoto's shadow and backfisted him sending him skidding a couple yards away*
"Akatsuki fight in pairs.."

Sasoto felt Raku's punch connect in the middle of his back, he flew about 2 yards before he recovered, backflipping to his feet. I seconds, both of the clones were at his side. His lizard creature had also now recovered, it stared angrily at Zyrag. " Damn it! were are those reinforcements.." Sasoto wondered out loud.

Zyrag recovered quicker than he should have because of his armor and shot some bone bullets towards the three, then did the same on the opposite side after using bone transport.

"Good timing Raku."

Sasoto and his two clones lept out of the way of the bullets into a tall tree. "That all you got?" One of his clones jumped to the ground "Summoning Jutsu!" This time a giant crab emerged.

*He looked at the clones and summons unimpressed*
"That all you got?"
*He said mockingly. Raku popped his neck and drew his blade then released the sael and three shadow dragons rose form the blade. The first dragon raced towards the two clones and smashed them together causing them to revert to thier lava state and the dragon was now slowing down in pain. The other two raced towards Sasoto with a bloodthirsty look. One aimed for the feet and the other the torso*

The draghons were to fast for him to dodge but... in one swipe both dragons lay bloodstained, also bloodstained was the crabs razor sharp claw....

"Raku, meld..." He warned pulling out a pair of bone grenades. He threw the mini pineapple like structures toward Sasoto and the crab, one a piece. He made them explode when they were within close range of them. He was hit by several of the mini spikes himself but none pierced too deep to do much damage.

Sasoto avoided most of them, but 2 shallowly punctured his right arm and one was deep in the right side of his chest. "Crap..." He said and put his hand over the wound. The crab was hurt also, not dead yet, but surely would be if it took another hit like that. "You guys are better than i..aggh.. thought".
