**PROLOGUE**

This is the Akatsuki. While most of us are only associated to being murders, we have other ambitions. Yes, we are out seeking the jinchuuriki, but we have other things to attend to. Naruto, he is the Kyuubi- or the Nine tailed fox- jinchuuriki. We know where he is located. We know he is surrounded by some of the strongest ninja in this world. The Akatsuki plans on breaking him down before time to catch and extract the demon from him. We want him to have his guard and his defenses down, to do this we will take down those who are close to him.

We are rogue ninja who fled from their home country.

We are S-class ninjas.

We are going to murder those close to Naruto.

We are murders.

Pain had called the Akatsuki members to the main corridor of their hideout. They were all sitting at a large table with Pain at the head of the table and Konan standing beside him. To his left was, in order, Itachi, Kisame, and Sasori. To Pain's right was, in order, Kakuzu, Hidan, and Deidara. On the other side of the table was their newest recruit, Tobi. The room was silent, all the members were waiting for their leader to speak.

"We have a new mission. All of us." Pain spoke up getting straight to the point. Everyone started looking around at each other, wondering what kind of mission would require all of them to be involved.

"I am sure that many of you are aware that Konoha has some of the strongest and most capable ninja and kunoichi." Pain took note in the change of Itachi's aura at the mentioning of his home village, "I have tasked many of you with capturing many jinchuuriki, even though I have not given you specific times on when I want you to capture said jinchuuriki. For this mission we are going to work ahead to capturing one of the powerful hosts, Naruto, who is the host for the Nine-Tailed Fox demon. We have intel of the newest group of ninjas that have been raised, many of them are leveled as jounin. The mission I am about to give you is going to be very difficult in its own way. I do not want any questions as to why I am giving you your new assignments until after they have been given. Do I make myself clear?"

The group was listening very closely. Many of them, besides Itachi, have never heard of Naruto. The kid has got to be powerful considering he is the host of the most powerful demon, the Kyuubi.

"I am going to split you up into different pairs, most of you will be with your usual partners. Others will either be on their own or will be with someone their not usually with." Pain turned to his right and looked down the table at Deidara.

"Deidara, you and Sasori will be going to Konoha to capture a Kunoichi by the Name of Ino Yamanaka. She specializes in the Shintenshin no Jutsu, or other wise known as the mind transfer Jutsu. I have chosen you two for very simple reasons: Sasori, you are a puppet and cannot be affected by said jutsu, while if Deidara is caught in it, her body is left immobile. Sasori, you could easily take over after that, I am assuming. I would go about using a strategy based around this." Pain finished looking between the two at the end of the table on both sides.

"Hai" Sasori and Deidara said in unison. Deidara couldn't understand why he had been choosen as the one to be caught in the stupid jutsu. Oh yeah, because Pain knew how much he despised being in the Akatsuki in the first place, Deidara was forced to join. He was not going to disagree with Pain, however, because he knew it would only cause a lot of grief and destruction by doing so.

"Kisame," He turned to look at Kisame who was sitting between Itachi and Sasori, "You and Konan will be working together this time." Konan and Kisame looked at each other and nodded in unison. "You will be going to Konoha to capture a Kunoichi by the name of Tenten. This girl is part of the oldest group in the Konoha 12. She specializes with weapons; she attacks her opponents from afar. She has extremely good accuracy, deadly almost, with her kunai and shuriken. I believe you two can find a weakness in her and take her down without any issues, I expect your capture to be the least difficult. I need you both back as fast as possible, I have other things I need you to do."

"Hai." The two said in unison. Konan knew what Pain needed her for, but Kisame was left wondering what it was he was exactly needed for. He would not dare to ask while he is giving missions though.

"Itachi," Pain was now looking at him. Everyones was listening in, considering Itachi's partner was with someone else for this mission. "You will be working alone on this mission. You will be going into Konoha to capture the Kunoichi by the name of Sakura Haruno. As I am sure you know she was once teammates with your younger brother. She is one of the closest people to Naruto, the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. She was placed on Kakashi Hatake's team when she was a genin and when she was a chunin. Also, she is the Legendary Sanin, Tsunade's apprentice. She fights much like Tsunade, she has a lot of strength and specializes in medical ninjutsu. She chakra control is considered to be better than that of the Sanin, Tsunade. Do not underestimate her, Itachi, she is very intelligent. She is known to be able to sense when a genjutsu is in use and release herself from it. I have chosen you because I think you need to not rely solely on your genjutsu, which I know you are able to do. This will be a challenge, but I believe you should be find handling her by yourself."

"Hai." Itachi said nodding his head at the same time. Itachi had to admit, going to Konoha did not seem like something that was at the top of his to-do list. He especially did not want to run the risk of being caught there. He would be going in alone, not that he was worried they would over power him, but that he will start to remember what things used to be like in his life. He will, however, do as Pain says and retrieve the girl without fail.

"Kakuzu," Pain turned and looked at him to his right, "You and Hidan will be going to konoha to catch a Kunoichi by the name of Hinata Hyuuga. This girl is the heir to the main family of the Hyuuga Clan, one of the major clans of Konoha. The girl has an ability known as the Byakugan. She is able to see far off into the distance and through things. She is part of the best tracking team in Konoha. Her clan is known for being able to see the tenketsu points, or chakra pathways, of their opponents. She is able to close off chakra points using a taijutsu technique known as the Sixty Four Palms, protecting herself 360 degrees. She is easily able to give a fatal blow in one shot. I have chosen you two for simple reasons: Hidan, you are immortal, you cannot die and Hidan, you have four hearts. I believe the two of you can bring her in easily."

"Hai." Kakuzu and Hidan nodded in unison. Hidan was upset that he would not be able to sacrifice the girl. He was looking forward to some fucking action, and the girl they were given to capture seems like a very good opponent. Kakuzu knew of the Hyuuga clan, he was wishing he could capture her and sell her eyes for a profit. But he would never go against Pain's orders.

"Are there any questions about the assignments I have given you?" Pain asked looking around the table at his members.

"Yes, un. Why did Tobi not get a mission, un?" Deidara spoke up first.

"Aw Deidara Senpai, I knew you were thinking about me!" Tobi said getting ready to get up and walk over to Deidara and hug him annoyingly.

"Tobi. Sit. Down." Pain's voice roared. Tobi did just that. "Tobi was not assigned a mission simply because he is still new to this organization. He needs to prove himself able to take on a mission such as this one. He will be busy doing a simpler mission." Deidara nodded his head approvingly. He was glad that Pain silenced Tobi before he had a chance to get over to him.

"I have a question." Everyone turned and looked at Kisame. "I noticed you are having us capture all females. Is there a reason why or is it just a coincidence?" No one else really paid attention to that detail besides Kisame and Itachi. Kisame just spoke up about it quicker.

"Hey Kisame, don't fucking complain. It's about time we got some more chicks around her. The only one here is already taken under someone's wing. I'm more fucking excited to do this mission. I fucking-"

"HIDAN." Pain's voice roared again. Hidan shut his mouth quickly. "The reason I have chosen the ones I have is actually quite simple. I am going to answer your question, with another question."

Everyone looked around to each other, wondering what Pain was talking about.

"If all the kunoichi from Konoha 12 are taken from said group, what do you think their teams- which are all men- would do to try and save their comrades, which are all the females?"

"I know I would fucking go crazy if the only girls I knew were fucking kidnapped." Hidan spoke up again.

"So, you want them to come after us?" Itachi asked knowing that was what everyone was thinking

"Yes, they will come after us with the rest of Konoha 12 and a couple of other Jounin such as Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy, so I am assuming. When that happens, we will flee to another country. I will tell you more after we have achieved this first step of our mission."

A/N: Hey guys! Just a reminder this is a rated M fic. So there will possibly be some character deaths, lemons, gore, etc. Crack pairings are also bound to happen. I love the idea of a good girl being with a bad guy ;) Enjoy! I will try and update in the next day or so.
