Deidara walked on attempting to ignore Tobi's constant babbling. They were on a mission, a very serious mission.

"Deidara Sempai I'm bored," Tobi complained, " Can we stop and rest now?"

"No Tobi, your lucky to even be in this organization un. Besides is that pink haired girl hadn't killed Sasori no Danna you wouldn't be here now un," Deidara said. He knew what was coming now, Tobi would start on and on about how they were able to bring Sasori back to life and he was here because Hidan had left.

"Deidara Sempai…" Surprisingly Tobi shut up.

----------------------------

"Hinata hurry up!" Hanabi called, "We'll be late!" About three years ago Uchiha Sasuke went mad. He swore he would kill an entire clan, and he almost did. Only three Hyuuga members remained alive.

"Hinata, Hanabi what's taking so long? We should be in Tsunade's office in a few minutes." Neji called.

"W-we're coming Neji-san" Hinata's voice was muffled as she finished brushing her teeth.

-----------------------------

"C'mon we need to get closer!" Naruto said as him and Sakura ran amongst the trees. Of course Naruto had no idea where he was going, but he charged on.

"Naruto wait! We need a plan!" Sakura called. She was a few meters behind Naruto when he finally stopped.

"Sakura we have a plan. It's to find out wear Sasuke and Kabuto are!"

"Wait, Naruto, We need to have a good plan, for we need to please Gai-Sensei."

"AH! Lee where'd you come from?" Sakura said as Lee appeared in front of her.

"Lady Tsunade sent us."

"Us?"

"Hai us…" Shikamaru droned as he appeared from the trees.

-------------------------------

Hanabi, Hinata, and Neji were all now standing in Tsunade's office, waiting. Hanabi and Neji had become ANBU and Hinata was a Jonin. Finally Tsunade walked in mumbling about how something bad was going to happed soon. Then Neji notice that her pockets were full of cash and he knew what she meant about something bad going to happen.

"Um, so L-lady Tsunade-sama… w-what is our mission?" Hinata asked in a weak voice.

Tsunade looked up just realizing that the three Hyuugas were in her office. " Oh well you need to go with um Lee and Ten-Ten to, ah, go and find the new Akatsuki lair." Tsunade had stammered over herself too much and all three of them knew something was wrong.

"Tsunade-sama, you sent Lee to go with Naruto and Sakura yesterday." Hanabi pointed out. Then Shizune walked into the door and went and whispered something into Tsunade's ear.

"oh right, right I was hoping you could tell them that" Tsunade said to Shizune, much to loud.

"Lady Tsunade as the fifth Hokege it is your job to do-"

"All right already Shizune shut up already," Tsunade interrupted. "On this mission one of you may die!"

"What!" Neji exclaimed, "If one of us dies then there will only be two Hyuuga left!"

"Hold on Neji! There's no need for you to get too excited yet." Tsunade started to explain. There was a long awkward pause.

" Um Lady Tsunade is trying to say that someone on Naruto's mission could be the one you will end up dead as well."

"Well that doesn't help much!" Hanabi snapped. "Someone will still die, weather it's one of us, Naruto, Lee, Shikamaru, or Sakura!"

"Wait L-lady Tsunade-sama, how do you know one of us will die?" Hinata asked. At this point tension in the room was high and just about anything could have made every jump.

----------------------------------

"Deidara, are you there?" A voice came on in Deidara's ear. It had only been a few hours with Tobi, but it seemed like years.

"Yea Sasori, I'm here. I wish I wasn't though."

"Let me guess Tobi? Well anyway Leader wants you to get a Konoha ninja, preferably with a strong Bloodline."

" Great more hours with him."

"Deidara-sempai!" Tobi yelled, "I gotta go to the potty!" Tobi was whining like a little kid so Deidara smacked him one.

"Ooooowwwwww!" Tobi yelled. "What was that for?"

"We'll land sooner or later. Now we need to head for Konoha." The twosome traveled onward, with Tobi constantly complaining about something. Sooner or later they would have to reach somewhere near Konoha were they could stop and wait.

---------------------------------

At exactly three o'clock Ten-Ten burst through the office door scaring the crap out of everyone.

"Oh um did I do something wrong?" everyone took a breath, realizing it was Ten-Ten who had just come into the room. Ten-ten looked around, the room had a serious feel to it, but Ten-Ten had no idea what was going on. Tsunade could tell what Ten-Ten was going to ask, so she explained.

"Whoa, that's, that's…. So cool! I want to go!" As if it was planed everyone, except Neji smacked their foreheads in unison. Ten-Ten saw the confused look on their faces and wondered if she had done something stupid, again. Ten-Ten ended up joining the mission; although it was obvious she was going to anyway.

Then Hinata asked her question again, "Lady Tsunade, how do you know one of us will die?"

"Well Hinata it's that or one of you will go missing and stay missing."

So the teammates set out, to find the Akatsuki base. There was an odd silence during the first few minutes of travel. No one really wanted to say much. After they found out what might happen.
