Chapter 1
Sasuke and team Hebi were preparing to leave the inn, Sasuke noticing Karin kept looking out the window and seemed rather nervous. "What is it Karin?" asked Sasuke. Karin jumped slightly looking at Sasuke. "It's nothing that concerns us it's just that …" she paused looking at the window again. "There's a battle going on just outside the town, there two strong chakras that are over powering the other one, which is putting up quite a fight." She concluded. "Any familiar?" asked Sasuke not really interested. "No." She said. Sasuke nodded. "Lets go then." He said, walking out the room with the others following. They were busy jumping from branch to branch, when Karin suddenly stopped. "Karin!" asked Sasuke. "Come on red what's the hold up?" asked Suigetsu. "Their getting closer." She said looking in a direction where faint explosions were heard. "It's not our concern." Said Sasuke facing away from his team. They were about to continue when a loud explosion went off right by them. They all moved quickly to land on the ground. Sasuke looked up seeing a rather large bird in the sky, he then saw a pink blur appear out of the puff of smoke. Sasuke's eyes widened. "Sakura?" he thought. After the pink blur passed a blue one appeared right on it's tail, wearing… Sasuke narrowed his eyes. The cloak of black with red clouds. "Akatsuki!" Sasuke thought. "Come on!" he ordered, and they went after the blurs and large bird.
She was returning from a solo mission when she got attacked. She was just tree hopping when the explosions started and she had a big, blue skinned man come up behind her. "Hey there pinky!" said the blonde up in there air. "Deidara!" she thought. "That must be Kisame." She thought looking behind her. Not waiting to hear them, she pumped some chakra into her legs and started tree hopping faster than before, dodging the continuous explosions and making sure to avoid the attacks from the rear end. She was going fine, until Deidara threw one infront of her she slowed down giving Kisame time to catch up. Jumping through the smoke and continuing her sprint. "Come on pinky we just want to use you as bait is all!" said Deidara from the air. Sakura snorted. Avoiding a kunai from Kisame. "Isn't Kisame Itachi's partner?" Sakura thought.
Sasuke was right behind them hearing Deidara's comment about using her for bait. Sasuke could see Sakura sprinting while avoiding both attacks from the air and rear. He was surprised by how she kept a cool head even in this. He looked at the one in the air not recognising the blonde hair, but when he saw the blue skinned man with a large sword he knew. "Kisame? Isn't he Itachi's partner? Could Itachi be near by?" Sasuke thought, his eyes turning red.
In the distance a figure stood waiting for the right moment, he could see the pink haired girl coming straight for him, with Kisame right behind her, but behind Kisame was … "So he has come?" he thought his red eyes staring at the group coming towards him. "This will be interesting." He said out loud.
