Disclaimer: We do not own Naruto or the Akatsuki. We do however own the plot, Kira, Tsubaki, Yoshi and Yango. This story will have 4 OC's and a few possible side stories which can be written if you want us too.

We have decided to write another story but we will still be updating Akatsuki Raku, so don't worry about that.

THE LIFE OF A NINJA

Chapter One

Kira jumped through the trees, holding her father's ring in her hands. Surprised by the fact that he had willingly given her the ring.

But, this was Orochimaru after all. He was completely unpredictable.

As she ran towards the border of the Land of Fire she noticed three powerful chakra signatures a few metres behind her, she quickly activated her Byakugan and began to scan the area, she recognised one of the signatures quickly, it belonged to Sasori, her father's ex-Akatsuki partner.

Knowing she was in trouble she quickened her pace slightly whilst wondering why the Akatsuki were after her, after all she hadn't really done anything to them, I mean excluding the fact she was Orochimaru's daughter and an ex-jounin from the Hidden Leaf, she really wasn't all that well known so for them to go after her. But, since they were following her, that meant one of two things.

Number one, they knew her secret, which was highly unlikely because Orochimaru didn't even know. But, her sister did know, but she couldn't tell anyone. Partly because she was dead.

Number two, they wanted information on the hidden leaf or her father, which seemed more likely.

She stopped behind a tree and waited for said ninja to approach her.

"Hold on, I sense a strong chakra coming from over there." the brunette Akatsuki said as she flicked her long plait from her shoulder.

Kira cursed under her breath as she moved to another tree. Why was she worrying? If push comes to shove she could easily defeat them. Or, could she? They are Akatsuki after all.

She calmed herself down and moved further away, readying her sword.

"The target is moving!" the brunette said, her full fringe blowing slightly as she turned her head to the tree i was currently behind, taking off into the tree, Sasori and the other Akatsuki member following close behind, Her sensory skills are good, i was partially concealing my chakra for her to have found me, impressive i thought as they approached..

Kira stopped and turned to look at the approaching ninja. She sighed.

"Hey Sasori!" she said casually, waving her hand lazily in the air.

They stopped on a branch in front of her.

"Hello, Kira, I haven't seen you in a while. How long has it been?"

"About ten years or so?" she said, shrugging her shoulders.

The brunette looked at Sasori then Kira, with her mouth wide open.

"Wh-What? Why are you-?" she stuttered.

"Aren't you going to introduce us to your so-called 'friend', un." The blonde man asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

Kira cleared her throat. "So, these must be two of the new recruits I've heard of. I'm Kira. You might know me as 'The Daughter of Orochimaru'."

The brunette tilted her head. "That snake reproduced? With who?"

Kira frowned, feeling slightly offended. "So, you must be the Akatsuki retard."

She snarled and said. "Watch who you're talking to."

Kira smirked and said. "So, what's your name?"

"I'm a member of the Akatsuki. That's all you need to know, leaf shinobi."

Kira cleared her throat and said. "Actually, I left the leaf village a few years ago. A bit boring for my taste."

Suddenly a hologram appeared, it reminded Kira of Pain.

"Tsubaki Uzu-"

Tsubaki jumped and waved her hands in the air yelling. "Shh!"

Kira raised an eyebrow and said. "Tsubaki, eh? Uzumaki, I presume."

"No! No, no, no. It's the uh... Well, technically the Uzumaki clan is mainly extinct, so, it's highly unlikely, wouldn't you agree?"

"Well, it sounded pretty close to Uzumaki to me. So, I'm just going to call you that for the time being, okay?"

"Time being? Who said you're staying?!" Tsubaki exclaimed, slightly panicked.

"Anyway, you must be Deidara, correct?" she asked. Deidara nodded. Kira held out her hand and opened up her fist.

"This is Orochimaru's ring. Pain-sama, I would like to join the Akatsuki." Upon hearing this Tsubaki and Deidara panicked and started to shake their heads at Pain, making sure that he said no. Unfortunately Pain got the complete wrong idea.

"Well, I guess you could be quite capable." Pain started. "And you do have the ring after all." At that moment Itachi appeared in the hologram, him and Pain began discussing the possibility of Kira joining .Increasing their efforts, Tsubaki and Deidara started to jump and flail about, hoping to get their leader's attention. Unfortunately for the Blonde and Brunette Itachi's eye sight seemed to be even worse today and so he also got the wrong idea.

"All right then. You can join." Pain looked slightly taken aback before saying "Yes, you are allowed to join, we are in South Base hurry back"

We hope you enjoyed this chapter, we'll update soon.
