:3 (hides from rabid fangirls)
...ahahaha, hey guys! I know it's been a while...school has been eating my brain. XD
So. I finally came up with a somewhat good plot for the sequel, and here it is! Ta-daaaaa!
OH! Before I forget!
Iam manga-caught-up. I know Arashi's real name, I also know about Tobi, et cetera...that will come into play later, I promise...(cue evil laughter)
BY THE WAY: THIS IS WHAT I'M DOING FOR NaNoWriMo :D National Novel Writers Month—that's 100 pages in 30 days.
(gulp)
I am going to die by the end of this.
I do not own Naruto...if I did...Sasori would have a nice humanbody... c8 (cough) I'm not a Sasori fangirl, honestly...

"I hope to serve you well, Nagato-sama." a soft voice stated, looking up at a man with bright orange hair falling over red-rimmed eyes.
He smirked slightly, "It is Pein now, do you understand me?"
"Yes sir"
"Excellent. I called you here to give you a mission. You are to retrieve the man who dared imitate my position--as well as that betraying brat Tobi."
"I understand, Pein-sama" the woman bowed, her cobalt blue bangs falling low into her lidded eyes. She looked back up and met the gaze of Pein, the only user of the Rin'negan, eye to eye.
Pein's smirk grew. He turned back around, facing the blue haired woman, "I expect nothing less than perfection from you, Konan. Take the newrecruit with you as well, understand?"
"Esukisu-san?" she questioned, "May I ask why?"
"She needs the training. And you may find her abilities as a good foil for your own."
"If you say so, Pein-sama." Konan bowed her head slightly, "I will leave now then."
Pein nodded, and she adjusted the paper flower in her hair before quickly disappearing in a rushing flap of paper.

Naruto was sitting on the counter of his kitchen, swinging his legs boredly when he heard a knock on the door. Excitedly, he jumped up and raced down the hallway to the door, then quickly opened it to see Arashi waving sheepishly, "Hehe...hey, Naruto-chan."
"Tou-san...? What are you doing here?"
"Escaping."
"Escaping?" Naruto raised an eyebrow, "From what?"
"Your kaa-san." Arashi scratched the back of his head, "It's best to let her have time to herself when she gets like that...it's a really long story"
"Okay...come on in." Naruto waved over his shoulder, turning around and heading back towards the kitchen. He walked in the room to find Hinata calmly flipping something in a frying pan. Sneaking up behind her, the orange shinobi wrapped his arms around her waist, "Good moooorning, Hina-chaaaan! What's for breakfast?"
Hinata 'eeped!'--She turned fabulous red and looked up, "Um, p-pancakes..."
Naruto grinned, "Awesome! Hey, that reminds me, tou-san is coming."
"A-Arashi-sensei? Why?"
"He was scared off by Kaa-san, apparently." he let go of her and smiled, saluting slightly, "I'll be on my best behavior, promise!"
Hinata giggled, "If you say so, Naruto-kun."
"I do say so!" Naruto pouted
"Keep the lover's quarrels to yourself, please." Arashi said from the doorway, lifting the red flaps over the kitchen door and grinning at the blushing couple, "Hey guys, where's Kuroi-chan?"
"Asleep" Hinata sighed, "I think she's coming down with something..."
"Ah, that's terrible...I'm sorry."
"It's okay, we'll take care of her" Naruto shared a small smile with Hinata, then turned to Arashi, looking a bit serious, "Otou-san, did you have something else you wanted to tell us?"
"I did." his expression quickly changed, and he sighed, pulling a small note from his pocket. Arashi handed the scroll to Naruto, "I received this in the mail yesterday."
Opening the scroll, he scanned the contents and his cobalt colored eyes widened. He handed it to Hinata and she read aloud. "The Akatsuki is coming for the traitors. The Akatsuki, eh..?"
"Uh-huh...how many of them are left?" Arashi asked, "Out of curiosity"
"Well..." Naruto started counting off on his fingers, "Hidan's underground somewhere, that stitchy-guy with the hearts is dead, that annoying blonde exploding guy is dead, Tobi turned out to be Obito-sempai...I don't know any of the other ones..."
"There is one more...Konan. She was one of Jiraiya-sensei's students, before I was." he replied, "I'm worried she may be out for revenge. Not to mention, they were bound to have recruited new people for those that died."
Hinata sighed, "This sounds like a lot of trouble..."
"It does." Arashi agreed, "We need to warn Obito as well. I'm sure he got the same message."
"Tou-san, is that why kaa-san is so mad at you?"
"...Yes, she's worried I won't be there for the baby." He sighed, leaning against the kitchen counter, "Sometimes I worry about that as well."
"I'm sure it'll be fine, tou-san! We'll kick those Akatsuki guys' asses!" Naruto pumped his fist triumphantly.
"I suppose you're right, Naruto" he grinned. Naruto had a way of bringing cheer into even the gloomiest of situations, "And hey, this time let your tou-san do the ass-kicking, okay? I miss being able to actually fight."
"Hehe, keep dreaming, otou-san, I am waystronger than you!"
"Are not!"
"Am too!"
"Are not!"
"Am too!"
Hinata shook her head, watching the father and son banter childishly: it was a welcome sight after the serious events that had become the small Uzumaki clan recently. Sighing, she flipped the pancake she was cooking with her spatula with a slight smile on her face. It's really good to be home.

"Ugh…I'm so bored…."
Nanashi sighed to herself as she sat down at the table, her chin in her hand. She seemed to be staring down the doorway, her blue eyes narrowed in concentration at the paper screen as if she could see through them. Getting up, she grumbled under her breath, "Fine then. I can just walk to Ichiraku by myself."
Nanashi made her way to the door and started to open it when it slammed open, revealing Kotetsu and Izumo, both breathing heavily, "Nanashi-sama!"
"Oh…hello boys. What do you need?"
"Tsunade-sama…has a…message for you…" Kotetsu leaned on his knees and held out a thick red scroll to her. It was wrapped in gold foil and had a large blue spiral on the front.
Nanashi's blue eyes widened momentarily, then she took the scroll, examining the binding, "I see…you two are dismissed"
They both saluted and left in a puff of white smoke. Sitting down, Nanashi untied the white string around the scroll and began to read. She scanned the whole thing boredly, when something at the end caught her eye: letting out a gasp of shock, Nanashi hurriedly shut the scroll and started a series of handsigns. Biting her thumb until it bled, she placed it on the ground and there was a puff of smoke, revealing the small three tailed fox Sanbi, "How can I serve you Nanashi-sam…Nanashi-sama?"
Nanashi's face was pale: her hands were shaking as she wrote out a message and handed it to the little fox, "Take this to Arashi, now."
Sensing the urgency in her master's voice, Sanbi tilted her head towards her and disappeared out of the doorway, running as fast as her legs could carry her. Resting her head against the table, Nanashi ran her hands through her hair in frustration, "What the hell am I going to do…?"
--
Arashi and Naruto were currently engaged in a pressing (albeit childish) arm-wrestling match when there was a pounding noise on the door. Hinata got up, leaving the men to their ministrations and answered the door to see no one there. She looked up, then down and saw Sanbi, carrying the small scroll in her mouth, "Oh, hello Sanbi-san."
She gave a small tilt of her head in acknowledgement and trotted into the room. Dropping the scroll at Arashi's feet, Sanbi bowed her head, "Nanashi-sama requests your urgent attention"
"Urgent…? Oh, I hope it isn't a ramen craving or something…" he sighed, shaking his head with a small smile on his face.
"No…Nanashi-sama was very pale when she was writing this: I believe something is very wrong."
Arashi's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. He took the note and read in Nanashi's messy scrawl, "Otou-san has died…he left me the throne."
Arashi's eyes immediately widened in horror. He stood up and dismissed Sanbi, then muttered under his breath "This is notgood."
--
"I don't understand, Konan-san. Why did leader-sama request my help on this assignment?" A young woman stood in front of Konan, her hands poised on her hips, "I'm just a 'newbie' here after all"
Konan shrugged, her small shoulders rising up and then down in the universal gesture of 'I have no clue', "He told me nothing of it, only that your abilities would foil mine well, Azukari-san"
"I see…" the woman adjusted her glasses over her nose, reflecting a shaft of light past her bright green eyes. She calmly leaned over and removed a hypodermic needle from her elbow: the needle dripped something dark colored, then was thrown into a disposal. She stood up and brushed something off of her lap, "Well then, we should get going"
"I agree." Konan nodded, "It will take us a while to get to Konoha from here."
"Konoha…" Azukari adjusted her headband on her forehead, allowing the three wavy lines with a long slash drawn through them to shine brightly in the dim sunlight filtering through the room, "I haven't been there for a very long time. Not my home village, but I've heard it is a nice place to live."
"I suppose"
She smirked as she examined the ring on her finger: 'Kuro', the symbol read, and the ring was black, a stark contrast against her pale skin, "Well…it won't be when I'm through with it."
With a wordless nod, the two women took off, their red and black cloaks flapping ominously in the wind.
--------------------------
What does Nanashi's scroll mean? Who is this newcomer to the Akatsuki? And why did Naruto and Arashi get into an arm wrestling fight? All these questions will be answered (except maybe the last one. XD) in the next chapter! Next time on Yuruginai Shinrai…
"Uzumakagure. My homeland. It's an old deserted country: it died out as a major village years ago…my otou-san was the last thing left" Nanashi stared grimly into a bowl of ramen, her blue eyes downcast.
"It means I am supposed to go back…and leave Konoha forever."
