A/N: Hey! I'm just typing the prologue for this really fast, since I'm way behind in two classes and I need to get my scuba training finished. Then I have chores, and I'm taking Fang and Iggy to the beach, and I need to think of ideas for other stories and work on my book. That reminds me: If anyone has any ideas or suggestions of something you'd like me to write, or if you have an idea for something that should be in the chapters, please tell me. I'm going to try to get all the different arcs covered, and I'll do my best not to forget or skip any.

Iggy: She refuses to get a Beta reader, saying she can check her own grammar and spelling herself. As for the plot and story line, and the writing style, she just gets Bre's opinion. So all the editing takes extra time. Plus, she writes everything in notebooks. (We have tons piled in her room. Some are empty, some are full.) So she has to type up everything when she's finished. Then she usually adds to it as she types.

Mo: Is there anything wrong with that? Besides, it's all worth it, because Bre says I've improved drastically since I started writing 2 years ago.

Fang: Obviously. You've stopped cleverly inserting yourself, or characters like yourself, into real fanfics, reserving them for the pointless stories where you are a part of the plot.

Mo: Yup. I'm only in the where the other characters know about the real world, fanfiction, or things like that. I've decided to accept that I don't have wings and I'm not a wizard. But I'm still a ninja.

Fang: No, you're-

Iggy: -interrupts Fang as if he hadn't spoken- You know, all of your A/Ns have become ways to explain things, rant, or print our stupid conversations.

Fang: -sighs-

Mo: If you two didn't say stupid things, I wouldn't write them. Oh, also? From here on out, I probably will not have Fang and Ig in the A/Ns. Other people will usually take their places for my Naruto fanfics. (PS: the disclaimer is at the bottom this time. Sorry) And also, this is an insanely short chapter. I don't plan to make a habit of writing things that are this short.

There are a few things you should know before you read this story. I'll make them as simple as possible.

1. These children were always there, from the very beginning. You just didn't see them. If you did, it wasn't enough to know who they were, or even remember them. Just a glimpse from the background before they vanished.

2. The Konoha Elites were in the Academy at the same time Naruto's class was. They graduated early, alongside the regular class. These children were born with great skill, and even from a young age showed signs of a strong shinobi. These children were taken into the elite class at various ages, and taught advanced techniques.

3. The Elite class allows only 18 students to pass the graduation exam and only 12 can pass the leader's test. In addition, the elites already possess skills close to chunin when they enter the academy, so they can't take part in normal promotion exams. The elites from each village are brought together to be promoted.

4. The children are never mentioned by anyone. They go on plenty of off-screen missions with other shinobi, but due to special seals placed on everyone they meet, they don't talk about them. The seals are similar to Danzo's.

5. The seals were put on the ninjas by the Otakukage, kage of the Hidden Fanfiction Village. This village is kept even more secret than the Sound Village or the ANBU Root. No village knows about them, and the Otakukage serves to keep the peace and balance between all lands. She created these ninja elites, and they were born to various ninja clans and families of the land. The higher-ups saw their skill and created the Elite class and ranking. The elites don't realize they came from the Village Hidden in Fanfiction, but they instinctively carry out their missions to keep the peace.

6. Unfortunately, a few of the elites were corrupt, and the Akatsuki managed to persuade a couple of them from various villages to join their cause. These children are all different ages, ranks, skills, and personalities. Once joining forces with the Akatsuki, the elites stop following their mission given by the Otakukage, and begin a new mission given by Akatsuki.

So what exactly is this mission? I suppose you'll just have to read and find out.

A/N: So, how does it sound so far? I like the Akatsuki children best. I just loved creating them. I'll probably go back and forth between my Konoha main character (in first person) and my Akatsuki children (in third person), and I might throw a glimpse of the Otakukage in every once in a while.

Gaara: So, what am I doing here again?

Kiba: Yeah, I'm bored. At least give me Akamaru.

Lee: Is this some sort of new training exercise?

Kankuro: So lame. There's nothing to do.

Mo: Gaara? It's because I said so. Kiba? Here you go. –gives Akamaru to Kiba- Lee? Yes. It is. Gai will be in touch with the details soon. Kankuro? Here's the spare laptop. Knock yourself out. Sai? Help me out here?

Sai: This should have gone at the top, but I'm sure you all know this already. If not, please call a doctor right away. Mo does not own anything. She is not Kishi. She only owns original characters, original designs, original plots, and original ideas. Basically, she only owns things that came from her own twisted thought process…

Mo: Thank you.

Sai: No ninjas were harmed in the making of this fanfic, including the Akatsuki.

Mo: Alright, let's end this. And could you not make promises for me that I don't intend to keep? I have plans for the Akatsuki. At least try to give me some creative freedom.

Sai: Hey look! You're almost at 1000 words! This means you can use this as the update!

Mo: Awesome! I don't have time to type up anything else. Also, I'm sorry for the A/Ns being so long. It was just a prologue, after all. I'll do better next time. Until then, R&R?

PS: Reviews are loved, concrit is appreciated, and your flames are often hilarious. ~Love, Mo.
