Hey everyone! Those of you who have read one of my other stories know that I'm not the happy romance type. This story is also not about romance and as far as I have planned it out there won't be any couples. I always try to do the characters as realistic as possible. There will be violence, graphic torture, blood, gore, cursing and (attempted) rape. There's a reason why this is rated M, guys. This story also has a decent plot line with some plot twists. Nothing will happen random.
If you still want to continue, enjoy reading!
I don't own anything that also appears in the manga/anime of Naruto (Shippuuden).
English isn't my first language but I try my best to minimize the mistakes.
Prologue: A new target
Like every day in this specific hour the rain was falling down heavily on Amegakure. However, the villagers were already used to it so they had quickly fled into their houses or in the nearest bar to wait until their God Pain would make the rain stop once again.
At the highest tower in the village a figure was standing on a giant tongue, looking down onto the houses and streets, his arms raised, unaffected by the rain. Still like a statue he was standing there for half an hour until the rain stopped in the exact moment he lowered his arms.
The villagers looked out of their windows and doors were opened. "Punctual like every day" a man with a rain headband said to his companion laughing.
The orange haired figure who was dressed in a black cloak with red clouds let his violet, ringed eyes wander over the village for a moment longer until he turned and entered the high building through which several pipes were running. Droplets of rain dripped down from his soaked clothes, his spikey hair and the several piercings in his face glistered, reflecting the light coming from within the room. A woman stood there, already waiting for him. She had blue hair, a paper flower was stuck in it and her expression was cold and detached.
Without a word the man stepped to a table standing in the corner, picking up a book lying in the middle of the table board. It said Bingo Book on the cover.
"Did you find anyone interesting?" a deep voice suddenly asked. Neither of the two winced or was surprised by the third man's sudden appearance, like he just had teleportated into the room.
A single red eye flashed behind a swirly mask which hid his face.
"There are indeed several persons who could be beneficial to Akatsuki but I doubt that their potential will be worth searching for them and forcing them to join" the orange haired man said and turned the book.
"In that case, I have a suggestion" the masked man replied, took the bingo book from the other's hands and turned the pages. The orange haired man as well as the woman stepped closer and looked down at the picture of a black haired, well trained young woman with a hard and cold expression, wearing a Konoha headband tied around her forehead and a red neckerchief. Two pair of eyes looked then to the left side of the page showing the capabilities of the woman whose name was Beni.
"Not too ordinary…" the man commented. Sure, she seemed to be more skilled than average in all three jutsu-types, had joined the ANBU black ops in a very young age, had fled the village two years ago, was ranked s-class and there was quite a high bounty on her head but that alone didn't perk the interest of Akatsuki's leader.
"That's the point" the other man replied. "She doesn't seem too ordinary, but still is an S-class ninja with over 50 thousand ryo as reward."
The ginger pondered it. "She fled the village and probably has important information about Konoha. Maybe some about the Jinchuriki… We could question her" he thought out loud.
"I think there's more about that girl than it's shown in this entry."
"Hm. Maybe Itachi knows something about her."
"I already contacted him. He worked together with her once and said she did show some promising skill. However, he couldn't quite judge her because he had the feeling she was holding back in that mission."
"I see… I'll contact the other members and tell them about the girl. We'll find her and bring her to cooperate." The masked man nodded satisfied. The air surrounding him began to swirl and he slowly disappeared.
The orange haired man brought his hands up and made a hand sign, contacting the other members of the criminal group called Akatsuki. Their new mission was to find the girl called Beni and bring her back to the hideout.
I hope you liked it! The next chapters will be longer of course. It would be nice to receive some reviews to let me know what you guys think. I'm always open to criticism.
