The sand under Zaiaku's heavy boots shifts and swirls, almost unoticeable in its subtlety. The sun's rays beat down upon him harshly, as well as the rest of the desert, yet he retains an eerie cool, despite the large Akatsuki cloak which obscures most of his body. His long hair practically shines in the intense sunlight, the long locks of silver tied in a long ponytail. His empty yellow eyes stare intently at the man in front of him, peering over the top of his cloak's high collar.
Said person is was a Uchiha Itachi, whose red eyes almost eagerly returned the stare. The teen couldn't be more than eighteen, yet here he was, challenging someone of his calibur? Zaiaku would have to admit, however, that the slightly crazed teen had made a fine addition to Akatsuki. An experience in....humbling would be made in good time. As of right now, to be exact.
Zaiaku twitched his finger in the direction of the Uchiha, the subtle movement imperceptible to most. The spinning pinwheel that was the Sharingan was not so easily avoided, however, as the Uchiha deftly began evading what he knew was to come. The entire desert seemed to come alive, as vast portions of sand began moving towards the young Akatsuki member. He would not be caught so easily, and the clusters of sand particles missed him by a good margin.
Zaiaku almost grinned as he unsheathed his Katana. This would indeed be quite fun.

After jumping in the air and slightly to the left, Itachi Uchiha threw off the hat of his Akatsuki uniform, exposing his black hair and red eye even better. From the looks of things, this would be quite a match. Itachi pulled out his Katana in mid air, slicing it down towards Zaiaku's middle. After a sneaky dodge, Itachi nearly instantly went through some hand seals and shot out a large ball of fire, thinking "Fire Element: Fire Ball Jutsu." A ball of fire shot out towards Zaiaku, melting sand into glass on its way.

Nodding at the counter to his technique, Zaiaku holds out his Katana, the entire weapon glowing a menacing red color. "I'm afraid you'll have to try a bit harder than that. Death Wave!" Slashing his blade downwards, a vicious crescent of chaotic energies cut straight through the encroaching ball of flames and disperse it into the air.
Charging up another wave of destruction, Zaiaku decides to pass the time by rushing forward at Itachi, landing several quick blows before the Uchiha Prodigy begins to catch up, bringing his skills with the sword to bare against his leader. Blocking several intricate maneuvers with a deceptive ease, the Akatsuki Leader begins moving back again as sand begins to twist around his form.
"Here comes the fun part. I suggest you keep wary! Death Wave!" Slashing downward once more, the blade of unstoppable energy cut deep into he desert below, sending grains of sand up into the air like a smokescreen. Zaikau was already gone before his opponent's vision cleared.

With the sand clearing, Itachi stood in the center, his eyes open with the typical menacing look. His Sharingan picked up the movement of another Death Wave and it hit him, but not to surprizing to Zaiaku, a bunch of sand lay in the place of the Itachi, and the real Itachi appeared behind Zaiaku, waiting for the next movement. Anoter Death Wave would just result in Zaiaku's own attack being reflected back.
A light breese blew Itachi's hair slightly, blowing a little sand into Zaiaku and Itachi's direction. As the breese stopped, the two continued slashing crazily, each attack coming after another. After a few seconds pause, Zaiaku and Itachi stood, locking swords. Zaiaku was smart enough not to even glympse into Itachi' eyes, even though Itachi wasn't going to use that technique... yet.
"Isn't this strange? We seemed to have faught many times." Itachi used this pause and unbuttoned and threw off his cloak, it turning into sand and fading off. A kunai holder was appearent on his lef, as he pulled out 3 Shuriken, ditracting Zaiaku enough to quickly make a Shadow Replication having it attack Zaiaku with a Kunai headed towards his back.

Zaiaku spun his katana around in his hands, a strange smile forming on his lips, one that was hidden by the high collar of his cloak. "Yes. We have fought quite a good number of times, haven't we?" Tossing his blade into the air and spinning it around as well as various other tricks most jugglers would be envious of, the Akatsuki Leader did not distract himself from the topic at hand.
"More intresting though, is the fact that you used a sand clone. That's nearly impossible, as the technique has no handseals for you to copy." Somehow managing to balance his Katana by the point of the blade on his fingertip, Zaiaku continued, undaunted by the bizarre acts he was performing. "That must have taken quite a bit of work." Flicking his Katana into the air, the leader of the akatsuki caught his weapon by the handle and brandished it threateningly.
"Show me your skill, Uchiha."

"All right." At the command to show Zaiaku his skill, Chakra started to pour out of Itachi. He sheathed his sword and created several hand seals in the blink of an eye. A loud noise of thousands of birds chirping filled the air as a Chidori formed in his palm. The size of it got larger and larger. The sound incresed as the intensity grew. About 5 Shadow clones appeared from a quick left handed pattern of seals, and they all ran at Zaiaku with their Chidories aimed at different spots on his body, mainly focusing in the Torso area.
After this the Shadow Clones dissapeared, as well as Itachi. A voice echoed through the desert as Itachi spoke. "Zaiaku.... I am going to enjoy this..." Wrther Zaiaku was injured or not, this was a total surprise. Itachi poked Zaiaku in the shoulder, but when Zaiaku turned, no one was there. Agan it happened. The next time Zaiaku did not fall for it, but that wasn't the point. Itachi appeared in front of Zaiaku and the sky turned orange as Zaiaku was now trapped in a world that Itachi controls.
"For the next 48 hours, I shall make you endure anyting I want you to. I control all matter and time in this realm. Itachi stole Zaiaku's sword, and started to use its devistating powers. He sliced off Zaiaku's arms, and made Zaiaku turn into a kid. A small kid that no one alive knew. The sword continued to slice off his arms and legs, over and over.
"Only 47 hours 58 minutes and 59 seconds..." Getting bored with this, he grabbed out his katana, and stabbed Zaiaku while still cutting his arms and leggs off repetedly. After 24 of the hours have gone, too many slashes were made. To many stabbs were thrusted. A bombardment of the attacks continued to go, and finally Itachi got bored. He made a recreation of the Uchiha district, with Zaiaku there, getting ready to perform his twister technique, but Itachi added the flame to it and made it head right for the leader of the Akatsuki. Finally, after many hours of torment, only 1 second has passed in the real world.

Awakening from the hellish dimension which Itachi had delivered him too, Zaiaku dropped down onto one kneee, but a twisted grin was apparent on his face. "Oh... Impressive. Allow me to show you a technique of my own!" Sheathing his blade, the leader of Akatsuki begins to make insanely fast handseals, a grin on his face as he moves continually backward away from Itachi.
"Sabaku Kyodaikaibutsu Nezame [Desert Behemoth Awakening]!" Seemingly without cause, blood stains the sand below as Zaiaku slams his hand down. An enormous beast rises from the sand, looking like the top half of a human being that is slowly melting sand off its body. The face is two eye holes, an indentation for a nose, and a large, gaping mouth that continually moans. Its size and power is not to be underestimated; it is just a little smaller than Gamabunta, and one swipe from its thick arms can send a man flying hundreds of yards away. If not that, the behemoth will simply drag itself over to an opponent, then collapse on top of him, effectively crushing him under its weight. Absolutely grotesque to look at, it is even more frightening to fight. Even worse, it has no sense of allegiance to its summoner, and will eagerly wreck havoc upon enemies and allies alike until it falls apart.
Pointing his finegr at Itachi, Zaiaku shouts "Attack him, my beast! Obey your master!" In response, the mammoth creature roars deafeningly, and lurches forward at Itachi, one of its gigantic arms raised up in preparation for a devastating blow. "Meet my little friend, Itachi." Then, Zaiaku began to laugh, the sepulchral sound of his voice making it terrible to behold.

"Hmm..." Itachi analized the situateion very quickly and realized that there was only one weakness, but it didn't seem that weak. He decided to attack the whole thing. Itachi jumped up on top of the mamoth's head and quickly jumped off of it before sand entrapped him. ucikly going through hand seals, he performed a massive Shadow Clone Jutsu. All of the Clones ran up and jumped all around the monster , including Zaiaku, and they all exploded when Itachi wanted them too. A giant cloud of smoke risen from the ground from the cloans. "I hope that took a toll on him." Itachi said, waiting for the smoke to clear. Once it did, he was nowhere to be seen, but regaining Chakra somehwew unknown to Zaiaku.

Yawning at the rather impressive amount of explosions, Zaikau dusted himself off in an intentionally arrogant manner, secretly healing any minor injury sustained from the attack. "That won't do very much." As soon as the debris cleared and visibility returned, sure enough, the massive behemoth was completely unharmed, still letting out disturbing moaning sounds.
"I can feel your steps upon the sand..." speaks the leader of the Akatsuki, as he kneels down upon the desert sands and places a hand upon them. "You cannot hide..." Eyes widening, he turns in a specific direction. "There!" A pillar of sand erupts from behind him, rushing toward Itachi's location with great speed and enough force to crush the Uchiha into a bloody mist.

When the pillar hit, Itachi had splattered, but not into blood as intended, but into sand. Another Sand Clone has taken his place. Itachi stood ontop of the giant pillar, awaiting another move. After getting fairly tired, and analizing the situation he was in, Itachi vanished and appeared above his leader, landing a kick on Zaiaku's chin, the force enough to break and shatter the skull and neck of a normal person. Zaiaku, not being a normal person would have had enough force to launch him at least 200 meters.
