Well. This is a redo of "Me in Naruto?". I didn't really like where it was going so I am changing it. Here we go!
It was raining. Well, more like pouring. Not that Kisame minded that much. He loved when it rained but traveling in it was another story. The tall ex-Kiri nin grumbled to himself, pulling up his cloak collar even more.
His partner said nothing, only staring down at the wet ground. The taller blue man glanced over to the silent Uchiha, who was slightly worried about the turn of events concerning the youngest Uchiha. That snake bastard managed to convince his brother to defect from Konoha. Kisame knew only a little of Itachi's plans, but out of respect of family, said nothing to anyone else. Even cold-hearted criminals could appreciate that idea of "family".
With a small sigh, he tipped his head back with eyes closed, letting the harsh rain cleanse his troubled thoughts.
BOOM… CRASH…
Both Akatsuki members paused, this had been the first strike of lightning since the rain started. They could feel a spike of chakara coming in the same direction before it went cold. The two turned to each other, nodding. They would go investigate.
Kisame pulled his favorite weapon off his back, keeping it in front of him just in case someone decided to attack. Itachi had switched on his famed Sharingan, flicking them to either side as they continued north-east to where the lightning struck.
They made it to ground zero in seconds, even with the rain clouding their vision. Kisame stared in awe of the seemingly natural phenomenon, careful to not touch any of the charred and broken trees. The strike cleared about a mile of land, leaving a shallow crater that was as black as their cloaks. Cracks spider-webbed in the earth, threatening to give in at any moment.
Itachi slowly stepped closer to the lip, mindful of the tree trunks that had been nearly pulverized. Even from behind him, Kisame could tell that his Sharingan was spinning wildly as his partner was thinking of plan after plan. It was the way he was hunched over that gave the Uchiha away, he only did that when he was truly puzzled.
"What… What's down there?" Kisame still had a tight grip on Samahada, unwilling to lower his defenses.
"A body." Itachi paused, focusing. "They're alive." The black-haired man started a controlled slide to the bottom of the crater, mindful of the holes.
Kisame sighed again and followed his partner to the center, heaving his sword to his shoulder.
"What should we do with him?"
"Her." Itachi corrected quickly. He had crouched down besides the person, carefully pulling away the veil like cloth covering their face. A clink of glass against ground sounded around the quiet area as her arm fell to the side.
"Eh?" Kisame peered over Itachi's shoulder, beady eyes studying the face.
She was around 15 he guessed, still a little chubby. Her long brown hair was braided, running down her back. She was tall, even for being so young.
"I guess we could just kill her now. No use in keeping her alive if she could do this." Kisame used his free hand to motion around the newly created clearing, antsy to see some bloodshed.
Itachi slowly stood, thinking. "Go ahead." He paused, turning to fully look at his partner. "Don't take long."
A sharky smile took over Kisame's features. Finally!
The blue man strolled over to the prone figure and started to whistle, raising Samahada above his head. This was turning out to be not a half bad mission.
He swung his sword down in a swift manner. Just as it was about to tear into the girl, her eyes fluttered open, a shocking bright blue flashed, and she was gone.
The wrapped sword squelched noisily in the black mud where the girl had just been. He stood there dumbfounded, whipping his head around wildly. Itachi had made it to the rim of the crater and was staring at his partner, one eyebrow raised.
"Where the fuck did she go?!" Kisame roared, almost falling over because he was stomping his feet on the slick ground.
Itachi disappeared and then reappeared next to his outraged partner, scanning for chakara.
"Hn."
"Can you see her?" The blue man turned to his slightly shorter teammate, eyes wide.
"No." Itachi shook his head, a frown turning his mouth down. This would prove to be annoying later on.
With a sigh, Kisame placed his sword on his back. Samahada voiced its displeasure at being cheated from its fun.
"I know girl, I know." The ex-Kiri nin patted the giant weapon, as sad as it was. "I guess we should get going then."
"Ah." Itachi was still deep in thought as they continued on their way to the base. He was concerned that there was no trace of her chakara anywhere. Everyone left some behind, even if it was minuscule. But even with his Mangekyō Sharingan, activated he could not sense her at all. And that was extremely vexing. Only one person could do that, and he was long dead.
Let's see how this one goes!
