"Pathetic isn't it, yeah?" Deidara said looking at blasted remains of over 20 Konohagakure shinobi. A few who still were alive were suffering even more from Sasori's "homemade" poison. "Did anyone escape? We can't let them reveal our hideout, yeah."

"Hm..." Sasori said. He had abandoned that creepy puppet shell. He used it only when needed. Why should he hide while everyone else had all the fun? However, he did not show any sign of being excited. Suddenly Sasori noticed a small girl amidst the corpse. "Hey Deidara...how come that girl escaped your explosions? Are you that weak?"

Deidara's face reddened as he stared at the girl. She had light brown hair, down to her waist-line, and her violet eyes seemed to be noticed every move. "Hey little girl, come over here, yeah," Deidara called to her.

"No."

Deidara's eyes widened. How dare she, a weak little girl, insult him! He made a small spider and sent it to kill her. "Katsu" and a big cloud of smoke and ashes rose into the air.

"Weak. Pathetic. Is that all you've got?" the girl was still there, untouched by the explosion. "If that's all you've got, I feel sorry for your partner." Then the girl bowed. Well, not to Deidara. To Sasori. "Sasori no Danna."

Sasori's mouth curved into a small smile. "Who are you?" He asked the girl.

Smiling, the girl answered "Does it matter?" Wind rustled their hair, swaying the girl's hair back and forth. Suddenly, without warning, all the Akatsukis appeared, surrounding the girl. "Mm? Trying to kill me? I'm afraid it not that easy." The girl had a quiet voice. Deidara looked at her more carefully. She was most likely around the age of 5, maybe just over one meter tall.

"You're getting beat up by...that?" Kisame asked, amazed. "Wow Deidara, you're really losing your touch." Kisame snickered. "Well, since it's only a child, I'll take care of it." With that, Kisame charged at the girl. He swung his....sword thingy...only to smack it into the ground.

"You missed." That girl said, now with obvious glee that the Akatsukis can't hurt her. Kisame turned a violet colour. How did he miss? It was impossible.

"Hah, who's losing his touch now, yeah?" Deidara mocked. "So, little brat, who are you?"

The girl seemed to ponder whether or not she should tell. She caught Itachi's eyes as she scanned the Akatsukis. However, she seemed unaffected. "Tsuki. I'm 6 years old in form, however, I am much older in experience than that. I have no relationship with anyone here. However, I wish to join the Akatsukis. As a backup member perhaps. If you say no, I'll go tell everyone where your hideout is. But if you say yes and promise you won't try sneak attacks, I'll follow you quietly."

Pein looked around for any supporting thoughts. "I suppose you could try coming with us. However, you must tell us where you are from, and we will have to test you."

The girl tilted her head. "Alright. But you should already know where I come from. "

"?"

The girl sighed and muttered something that sounded like, " I thought the Akatsukis were geniuses too..." She shook her long bangs from her eyes, "I am Tsuki Fuutaruki of Suna." Tsuki's eyes darted to Sasori. Itachi did not miss that. "My only friend is Gaara. I think you know of him. Now, are you going to test me?"

Kunai knives tipped with poison came slicing at Tsuki. Tsuki easily side stepped them, and turned around to look at Sasori. Sasori held one of his puppets. "Not bad. She passes my test."

Deidara brushed his long blonde hair away. "Katsu" Without any notice, a bomb exploded right behind Tsuki. To their shock, she did not seem harmed. "Aw man, she passes my test too, yeah"

Pein turned to look at Itachi. "Itachi? What do you think of her?"

Itachi studied Tsuki for a moment. Tsuki met his eyes coolly. "She passes." And he said nothing more.

Pein nodded, "Alright, you may come with us." He turned to leave.

"Wait"

"Yes?" Pein asked, turning around to face her again.

"I have one more request. I would like to study with Sasori no Danna." Tsuki said fearlessly.

"Hah! See you as a puppet by tomorrow!" Hidan said bursting into his weird problematic laughing fits.

"I'll take her."

"WHAT THE ****???? WHY ARE YOU ACCEPTING A LITTLE ***** AS YOUR ******* APPRENTICE???" Hidan roared. Tsuki smiled her mischievous smile.

"Shut up," Tsuki warned.

"OH? NOW YOU ******* ***** IS TELLING ME WHAT TO DO?" Hidan was cussing like he had never cussed before.

"Asshole"

"****er"

"Son of a female dog" Deidara couldn't suppress a grin. He had never seen anyone out swear Hidan before.

Hidan lept at Tsuki. "YOU FRIGGING LITTLE –"

"Mmmmm oh? You missed again? Pathetic." Tsuki was really enjoying this now. "I'm gonna go now, see ya." With that, she followed Pein into the house which surprisingly was the Akatsuki's new house, because Deidara had "accidently" blown up the cave they used to reside in.
