Nine shadowy figures stood before each finger of a rock sculpture. All were dressed up in a black cloak, with red clouds. Only through their different eyes and body builds could they be distinguished from each other. Amongst them was the leader, who possessed the Rinnengan. He started the meeting.

"I expect that all of you have devised a plan on how we can capture the Kyuubi," the leader said, with the voice of a real authority.

Some nodded, and some just shook their heads for an answer. The only woman there did neither, as the statement wasn't directed at her.

"I see..." the leader concluded. "Amongst all of you, I would like to hear first from our elite, Uchiha. Next, from Sasori and Zetsu. Then, from Kakuzu, Kisame, and lastly, the both of you... Hidan and Deidara" he said, sarcastically at the end.

All nodded.

"It-" The elite Uchiha started, but he was cut off by the mischievous underling of the group as he crashed into the room...

*BAM*

"Tobi hurt" the childish masked man whined as he scratched the back of his head.

"Tobi!" the long haired man with sapphire eyes said angrily.

"Deidara-senpai!" he replied as he jumped to the person's side. "Look," he searched for something under his cloak, and grabbed a small tube of green substance.

"And what would that be, un?" Deidara asked.

"Tobi has his assignment! Tobi wants to report!" he said enthusiastically.

The leader nodded in approval.

"Damn, always making special allowances for a fucking kid" the pink eyed man said.

"Tobi stole this from Orochimaru-ex-senpai's lab! This formula is said to destroy an entire village, consuming it with wild fire that can't be extinguished!" he reported.

"I see..." the leader responded, while some fidgeted, especially Deidara and the pink eyed man.

"Let me have it, un" Deidra commanded, as he reached for the tube. "You're reckless! You might drop it!"

The two of them started to have a tug-of-war with the deadly formula.

"Deidara-senpai, Tobi wants you to do your own assignment, and not steal Tobi's!" Tobi begged, gritting his teeth.

"What the? I'm not stealing your assignment at all!" Deidara defended.

"Then tell Tobi that you did your assignment!"

"..." Deidara looked upward, feeling a little defeated.

"See! Tobi is correct" Tobi said, grinning.

"Shut the hell up!" Deidara cursed. "I'm confiscating this for now! Tell me, what would happen if you suddenly dropped this, un?" Deidara clarified.

The two continued on, gripping and pulling the glass test tube toward them in turns. Deidara tried to focus all his chakra on his hands, which resulted in him winning again, tugging the tube closer.

The other shadowed men and woman just watched the two bickering idiots, all trying to decide who should be the one to be blamed when something bad happened, or who should be capable of handling the formula.

"Hey Kisame, who do you bet would win? Kakuzu chatted.

"The kid" the largely built man answered.

"Fuck you! Why the hell did you say something like that?" the pink eyed man cursed. "Put it on me" he said, also placing his bet.

And so the others bet as well. A few minutes later, Deidara was announced as the winner. Tobi then bit Deidara's arm to release his hold.

"Damn you!" Deidara shrieked angrily.

"U-um... D-Deidara-senpai, where is the tube?" Tobi stuttered.

"Fuck all of you!" the pink eyed man cursed, as his eyes looked down at the ground.

A few sighs echoed in the room, as they all noticed that the tube was still in good condition...

*Crack*

*Crack*

*Crack*

Everyone came froze as little cracks were heard. Green gas spread through the whole place. Everyone started coughing from the green smoke.

"Wasn't this supposed to be some sort of explosive?" the female asked.

"Tobi, where the hell did you get this really, un?" Deidara asked, still coughing.

"Well, Tobi got it from one of the abandoned labs, and that formula was deeply located in the... Botched Room?" Tobi answered honestly.

"FUCK!" the pink eyed man said, along with some others, who cursed as well. "What the hell is a Botched Room?" he added, which made the others form an 'is-he-that-stupid?' look.

Ten shinobis of the Hidden Village of Leaf were standing outside, the pink haired kunoichi in front. "This is the place where the spy reported as one of the Akatsuki's hideouts" she said, as she stopped beyond a large boulder.

"Get ready" she commanded. She focused all her chakra to her fist as she run towards the huge boulder blocking the cave. "Here goes!" Her fist slammed the boulder, and it began to crack and fall into pieces.

All other nine shinobis came up beside her, walking into the cleared space...

...

...

...There was nothing...

...

...

Only a piece of the broken tube, and also the enormous sculpture of a twelve eyed head, with two hands held in front of it, was visible.

"There's nothing here" one of the tall men observed.

A chocolate brown haired guy went in front, and knelt down to the floor. "There's no chakra trace."

The pink haired kunoichi bit her thumb. "We missed them, tsk" she said agitatedly. "Let's head back."

"Hai!" all the men answered.

All of them started sprinting from tree to tree as they head back to their village. The pink haired kunoichi was in front, leading all the older men in her team.

Her emerald eyes looked to what was ahead... She then took ahold of her holster, and she grabbed out one kunai to prepare... Without a word, all her team members grabbed their weapons.

"Everyone..." the pink haired kunoichi whispered as she sped ahead.

To be continued...
