A/N: ok I have long since planned to write a new Naruto fic and now I finally brought myself to actually do one. Why do I have this deja vu feeling that I have already used this sentence? Ah screw it and lets start with the fiction…

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto it only belongs to Kisimoto Maszasi-sempai, but Riako is mine and I have all the credits for her.

P.S.: I will not follow the original Naruto time line in this fic so don't be confused that both Sasori and Tobi are in this. Tobi mainly because he is a cute little idiot and Sasori because…hey you will find it out soon enough…

I. Prologue/Mission


It all started like a normal mission, well with the only difference that Leader-sama went with his partner on a long since planed vacation seeing that there were no important missions they need to do. Even this one was not hard so Leader-sama sent Itachi and Deidara together on this mission and not with they usual partners before leaving.

The mission was so simple that even Tobi could have made it alone, well with some other Akatsuki member keeping one eye on him from a hidden spot. In the last time were some ninjas strolling around in the forest which hid they hideout. Well not near it, but the ninjas made Leader-sama still worry so he sent the two out to get rid of them.

Both were looking around since a while, but there was nothing, not a single person.

"I'm bored un. And I wanted so badly to show those ninjas my art un…" the blond whined, but his mouth was suddenly cowered by Itachi's hand.

"I heard something." suddenly a wind come up and they could hear many screams. Suddenly Itachi let go of Deidara and run in the voices direction, the bomb-artist after him.

When they reached the source of the screams both ninjas stopped. In front of them lied many blood cowered ninjas, the terror of they death still visible on they death faces. The stench of blood and death filled the air. Both Akatsuki members separated to find out what could have happened. Deidara was looking around in the trees when he suddenly spotted to figures, one of them a man had several injuries, in front of him stood a young woman with long black hair which ended in silver colored strains. Her skin was pale and her eyes a deep emerald-lavender color.

"Yo…you managed to kill…my commerades, but…I'm still standing…" the man sat and was about to attack her as he suddenly fell death to the ground.

"Ignorant fool, if you would have rested maybe you would have lasted for one more hour." she said, her tone emotionless. Dei was impressed by her skills, but also frightened, even he didn't know why.

Suddenly the woman saw up and looked at the place where the ex-Iwanin was hiding. Deidara left his hidingplace.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Hmm…the ones who know my name don't live to long." she said and attacked.

Deidara formed immediately one of his clay bombs and threw it at her, but she dodged it with ease. Dei felt the fear return as the strange woman begun to smile. 'Oh a fellow artist, what a nice surprise and that cloak reminds me on something…' she thought and formed strange finger symbols with her hand and pressed it to Deidara's chest which made the blond loose his balance. He would have probably hit the ground if Itachi didn't catch him before he hit the ground.

"Ugh…thanks Itachi-san un…" he said, but then fainted. Itachi looked down at the out cold blond then up at the tree, but the mysterious ninja was gone.

The Sharingan user sighed and begun to walk back to they hideout. He would need to wait until the blond woke up and told him what happened before he arrived.

To be continued…


A/N: so what do you think about the start, I know not much action, but there will be some interesting surprises and what do you think was the jutsu which sent Dei-chan out cold?
