Mild panic could be seen in the faces of the 10 people sitting around a large table in an undisclosed location. There had never been a situation such as this, there were no practised scenarios, no back up plans and no records of any attacks such as the ones they had been receiving anywhere. Except in legends; and they were far too practical to believe in legend.

'There has been another attack; a village in Yorkshire was destroyed by two men. 24 fully trained army personnel were killed almost instantaneously as they tried to fight back; another 3 are in critical condition. The demands were the same. They wanted a…' the sombre man looked down at his notes, 'a jinchuuriki.'

'A what?' the confusion around the table was tangible.

'A jinchuuriki. They said that every week we withheld the jinchuuriki, another settlement would be destroyed.'

'How can we give them something we didn't even know was here in the first place?' the prime minister seemed to be getting flustered as the situation started spinning wildly out of control.

'The crown's treasury is open gentlemen. You need only ask for financial aid.' The agent of the queen had grown pale as news of further attacks flooded in.

'They call themselves shinobi; or as we would call them ninja's; of an organisation named Akatsuki.' The input from the head of MI5 was calmer than the government officials, but not by much.

Silence followed this remark; until the representative of the SAS spoke up.

'Well gentlemen, in SAS training we are taught to pit like against like. If they are shinobi; then we find more shinobi.'

'Right. So do you by any chance where we can find ninja's who can breathe fire, make water dance to their wishes and move faster than an F1 racing car?' The sarcasm that dropped off of the deputy prime ministers tongue was near visible.

In was in the silence following this outburst that the head of MI6 made his first input into the emergency meeting.

'You'd be surprised how much we know…'

Tsunade was poring over the S-class missions in her office, when she read a mission request that made her quite literally spit out her sake and that was no small feat.

'SHIZUNE!' she bellowed, scribbling a list of names down on a scroll that she proceeded to hurl at Shizune as she burst into the room, 'summon these ANBU immeadiately!'

'Hai, Tsunade-sama!'

'What do you mean?' Uproar was all that could be heard at the emergency meeting, and was not helped by the fact that the head of MI6 was sitting quietly waiting for it to die down.

'25 years ago a ninja broke through the dimension barrier; he was able to give us information on the rough capabilities of his people, before he went back in a way that can only be described as paranormal. 6 years later another ninja broke through; he was much more forthcoming with information. He told us that he came from a village named Konoha which was regarded as the strongest among the ninja village, and how to activate a gate between the two worlds, among other things.'

'Then we need to send an envoy to this Konoha and ask for aid. They might know weapons that will work against them, tactics…'

'A mission request was sent through the gate 2 days ago. The gate will reopen in… 15 hours. If they have decided to help us then the 10 man squad I have requested will arrive then.'

10 masked ANBU black ops were standing before the desk within 5 minutes flat.

'Wolf, you are taking command of this mission with Bear as your second,' Tsunade said, handing the mission request to the masked man before wheeling back to the assembled ANBU. 'There's a gate in the northern forest at those co-ordinates that will open in 15 hrs, it will take you to the country where you're mission is to take place.'

'A gate?'

'The mission is not in this dimension. It would appear that Akatsuki believes that a jinchuuriki is in a united kingdom within that dimension and have begun to terrorize said nation.'

Only harsh ANBU training stopped Fox from yelling at the gondaime for further details; as it was his hands clenched visibly. 'A jinchuuriki.'

'Your mission is to protect the nation and fight back against the Akatsuki. But 5 am setting you a further mission. Find the jinchuuriki and bring it here for training and protection.'

'IT?!'

Tsunade turned to Fox with a sympathetic gleam in her eye. 'Fox, I suspect you will be essential in ensuring that this jinchuuriki is not only safe from the Akatsuki, but also from him/herself. However, try not to let emotions cloud the issue. Keep a clear head... You have 14hrs 30 mins left to get to the gate. DISMISSED!'
