"Take that you little bitches, that's what you get for underestimating me!"

"Pft, you got one ball in, let's not get to cocky. hn?"

"Then there's the fact that your going for solids, the ball you hit in was stripped dumbass."

"Shit, just shut your mouths and stop acting like a bunch of bitchy little girls."

The blue skinned man just smiled, taking the stick from the blonde. "You know Hidan, your kind of a sore loser when it comes to pool." He stated smugly. "When it comes to fighting I'm sure your use to losing, but games really aren't your forte." he aimed the stick at a ball and waited for a moment, before swinging it forward, forcing the ball into a pocket.

"Shut up you fucking fish face, keep talking and I'll make you my bitch." he glared at the two men who were smirking at him. He lifted up his hand, showing his middle finger. "Same goes for you Deidara, seriously."

"Who can't take a joke now, hm?" muttered Deidara under his breath.

"What was that you fucker!?"

"hm? What are you talking about?"

"Stupid son-of a-bitch…" he growled. He turned to the black haired man that stood beside him. "And what the fucks wrong with you? Your suppose to stand up for me you stupid piece of shit! Don't just stand there all fucking quite you little pussy! You're my god damn partner!"

Itachi starred blankly at him, his arms were crossed against his bare chest as he learned casually against a poll. He said nothing, and then looked away from him as if he had lost interest.

Hidan narrowed his eyes. "Fuck this shit; give me the god damn stick." He stated, while reaching for it from Kisame. He stopped though when a hand was placed before him. He turned his head to see Itachi walking forward. "The hell…" he muttered.

"I believe it's my turn…partner." He stated simply, while taking the stick from Kisame.

"Bout time you step up…seriously." He took a step back and smiled smugly at his two frowning opponents.

Deidara pouted. "This so isn't fair, yeah" he crossed his arms in front of him and watched as Itachi leaned over, aiming the stick towards the que ball.

It seemed like it took hours before the Uchiha finally shot, but when he did, the room filled with hidan's booming laughter.

Deidara and Kisame watched as all the stripped balls made their way into a pocket.

"Take that again you stupid sissy fuckers! That's the power of jashan!" Hidan ignored Itachi's heated glance, signaling he clearly didn't want to be associated with his 'god' that he worshipped.

Itachi stood up and set the stick on the table, ignoring Deidara's glare. "We should get to work now, enough games." He muttered. He made his way over to a small sitting area, taking a seat in a dark leather chair.

The room was fairly small, it appeared to be a basement. There was a pool table in the middle, a large lamp hanging from the ceiling over it, a staircase that ascended into darkness, and a sitting area that was placed before a fire place. There was a small coffee table between the couches that currently held three files. Other than that, the room was empty, no art, and no rugs. Bare.

The other three followed suite, taking their seats around him. Itachi reached for the files and sighed. "Since you three are the only ones who decided to show up, I will have to make due with what we have." He stated.

Deidara smirked. He was more than glad that Sasori and Tobi were gone. "Good."

"Stupid fuckers, who the hell do they think they are? Leaving the dirty work to us?" Hidan retorted angrily.

Kisame just snorted and leaned back in his chair.

"Anyways." The Uchiha stated. "Leader has informed me that there is a mission he wishes us to take part in, and from the sounds of it, it may be worth your while." He explained.

"Our while, hm?" Deidara cocked his head. "Why not your while?"

Kisame snorted again at Deidara's stupidity, which was followed by a glare from said man.

Hidan sighed. "What the hell do we have to do now? And the only way it will be worth my while is if I get to kill some stupid fucker."

Kisame then piped up. "So why isn't leader telling us this directly?"

Itachi closed his eyes for a moment; they were being rather irritating with all their questions. He figured the best way to go about it was to ignore them. "Our mission is to train for the battle." He stated calmly. He waited for it to sink in, watching his teammate's expressions.

Deidara furrowed his brow in though. Maybe this mission will involve me blowing something up. his face brightened and he smiled to himself.

Itachi continued on.

But then again…they are always on my ass about blowing shit up… he frowned. Then again, do I ever really listen to them, yeah? He smiled to himself and shook his head. Ya I'll blow some shit up.

Kisame starred at deidara warily. He watched as he smiled, then frowned, then smiled again. He shook his head. What a fuckin creeper, what the hell is he thinking about? He cocked his head as he watched a smile play on his face. God he's like a child…it's so…interesting to watch… Kisame cocked his head the other way, starring at him. Can't….look…away.

Hidan starred up at the ceiling, counting the indents that he saw. 1…2…3…4…5. He blinked. 6…fuck I already counted that one! Shit this is gay, seriously. He looked up and saw Kisame starring at Deidara. He raised an eyebrow. So he's a fag now too? Well aint that fucked up…

"Is the mission clear?" asked Itachi while putting the files back on the table, looking at everyone intently.

"What, hm?"

"Huh?"

"wha'd the fuck you say man?"

"…"

Sun…

Fresh air…

Mmmm hot pool boy

-sip- ahhh lemonade, with a hint of paprika. Just the way I like it.

"Sakura?"

Ooo and I cant forget about my gorgeous tan!

"um…Sakrua?"

Is he looking at me!?

"Good god are you drooling?!"

Shit! He's coming towards me! How's my hair?

"Dammit, Ino! She's doing it again"

Perfect, as always…smile pretty Sakrua. Wait…what if there's something in my teeth?

What is she doing no- wait…is she drooling?

Yes!

Ok, smile without showing teeth!

Should I hit her?

NO Tenten what a horrible thing to do! Just get a little water and…

Man, he's even hotter closer up! god and look at the size of his-"HOLT SHIT THAT'S FUCKKING COLD!!!"

Sakura jumped up and gasped, spilling her drink on the ground. "What…the hell Ino!" she growled while looking at her friend, who was lounching on the long chair beside her. She heard a snicker come from behind her and turned around, seeing Tenten on the chair to her left.

"S-sorry Sakura…we…just didn't w-want you to eat that guy…" she said between snickers. She burst out laughing then, holding her stomach. "Damn you looked ridiculous!" she muttered.

"I think that guy wouldn't mind you eating him…" added Ino under her breath, causing Tenten to break out in a hysterical laughing fit.

Sakura just glared, having no words that could possible describe what she was feeling.

She watched as the boy walked right by her, sitting down on a brunettes chair a little further down, which caused –you guessed it- Tenten to laugh even harder. If that was at all possible.

Sakura sat down in huff. "How is it that I own this place and yet I don't get the respect I deserve!?" she asked while crossing her arms. "I mean, I should be surrounded by guys!" she exclaimed while pulling her sunglasses down from their resting spot atop her head.

"Speaking of…" muttered Ino in disgust.

Sakura and Tenten looked up to see Kiba, Naruto, and Lee walking towards them.

"You have got to be kidding me…" muttered Tenten. She reached for a magazine and stuck her nose in it, looking as if she hadn't noticed anything.

Ino rolled her eyes. "That's great, we get the goon squad again today, where are the others? You know the cute ones? The ones I wouldn't mind being seen with?" she shook her head. "This is absurd."

Sakura just smiled at the approaching blonde as he waved frantically at her, now running towards them. "They aren't so bad once you get-

"Don't even utter those words!" snapped Ino while holding up a hand.

Sakura sighed. "Yes all great one." She muttered sarcastically.

"What was that?!"

"Hey Naruto!" Sakrua exclaimed while waving him over, ignoring Ino's comment.

"Hey Sakura-Chan!" He ran up to her and smiled. He was wearing orange swimming trunks and no shirt. His blond unruly hair was blowing slightly in the breeze. He placed a hand behind his head nervously, an old habit he had kept from their younger days. "whatcha doin?" he asked while taking a seat on the edge of her chair.

She shrugged. "Nothing really…" she stated much to her disappointment. That was all she had been doing lately. Nothing.

He smiled wider. "wanna go for a swim!?" he asked excitedly as the other two grouped behind them.

They had all been friends at one time; they still were technically, just not as close as they use to be. Before Sakura's dad struck it rich by creating his own Fighting Dojo underneath his Manufacturing company. They had spent ever waking moment together. Soon after, Tenten's and Ino's fathers both built a casino. Kiba's dad was rather wealthy as well; he owned the worlds leading dog Shampoo Company. Lee and his Uncle Gai ran a karate doom just out side the hotel they were in. Naruto on the other hand, had…them really. His parents abandoned him when he was born, which is when he was placed in the care of Iruka, a friend of the families. He was happy not having much, he didn't really need anything but his friends and maybe a bowl of ramen.-oh I don't know…every hour!-

Ino wrinkled her nose. "No I don't want to go for a swim that's just crazy!" she snorted. "Why would someone swim at a swimming pool?" she asked. She looked down at her own magazine, unaware of the stares she was receiving.

"…"

"…"

"I wasn't talking to you." Grumbled Naruto. He turned to Sakrua. "Your already wet, come on!" he begged. He leaned over her, a little to close for her comfort, but she didn't move away.

She looked down at herself, and sure enough, she was wet. She had forgotten about that little accident. "Sure Naruto, why not." She said, standing up.

She wore a two piece pink bikini, nothing to over the top, she figured if she had a nice body, why not show it off. The same went for Ino, except it was more like. I have a fucking awesome body I should go around in a skimpy two piece and show it off'. Her 'swimsuit' was a light purple.

Tenten on the other hand, chose to wear a black one piece, simple, yet inviting.

"Yes!"

Everyone turned to Lee, who was wearing –to their horror- a green Speedo. "Sakura-Chan will be swimming with us!" he turned around and divided into the water, splashing Kiba in the process.

"H-hey!" he coughed while glaring at his submerged form. "That's it; I'm going to kick your youthful ass!"

He too then jumped in, a little more elegant then his, keeping the water in the pool.

Tenten smiled. "I wanna go to!" she stood up, throwing her magazine in Ino's face, before she slipped into the pool as well.

Naruto's smiled widened. "Just like the old days!" he turned to Ino, his smile fading. "Well except you, but you've kinda always been a party pooper…" Before Ino could say anything, he took Sakrua's hand and they both ran for the water.

"CANNONBAL!!!!" they both yelled before their voices faded.

Ino sat alone, her face beet red from anger. "NAAARUUUTOOO!!" she growled.

Naruto's head bobbed back up, seeing Ino dripping with water. He hesitantly smiled, scratching the back of his head. "hehe, Sorry bout that…"

A dark haired man stood looking out of a large window. He was in a rather large office, at the top of a tall building. His arms were crossed behind his back, his face was expressionless. He was in his early fifties, good shape, well kept. He ran this whole building, all 15 floors. He was the founder of this company over twenty years ago. They were one of the most famous industries of all time, yet hardly anyone knew what was actually done here.

Sure, there were offices here, coffee rooms, storage closets, the same things that you find in an actual office building. But in the depths of the 15 floors, lay yet another 4. This is where the real work took place.

Tasogare is what he had named it long ago, due to his rival business, the Akatsuki. Tasogare means twilight, while Akatsuki means Dawn. He was young a foolish at the time he had created the name, though it had sparked even more flames between the two groups.

You see, the last four floors were where the dojo was held, where he created his most dangerous fighters for the underground fighting ring held in the middle of the City, Konoha. Of course it was all done illegally, fighting was banned way back before he was born, it was said that it was a waste of life, since in this arena, you fought to the death. Only the strong survived, if you were not strong then you had no business being there in the first place.

A battle was held ever four years, since after the losers lost, they would have to find a new fighter, and train them to try and be the best. The rules were rather simple, since there was only one. And that was to Win. You could use what ever weapons you chose, whatever jutsu you could muster.

Jutsu, was banned way before he was born. Almost one hundred years ago. The city of Konoha was meant for civilians only, no 'ninja' as they were called. Any person seen using jutsu outside of the dojo was immediately terminated. At least those were the rules for his Dojo, the others were more lenient. Such as the Akatsuki.

The man grimaced.

They were the most evil and sinister beings of them all. He despised them, detested them will all his being. They were rivals, the two strongest organizations alive. And they always won…because they had a weapon…his old weapon.

"Itachi Uchiha…" he muttered to himself. He shook his head and sighed. He was once apart of his Dojo, but eight years ago, he turned on his comrades, taking all of their lives. His friends and his family. He killed them all. He barely got away unharmed.

A few years ago he had asked him. Why he had done it. And his words ate him alive everyday.

"To see if I could."

Since then, the Akatsuki has taken him under their wing. His brother Sasuke has devoted his life to revenging his comrades, his old friends, and his family. Nothing could be done to him legally, and he wasn't one for fighting dirty. So he did the only thing he could. He trained Sasuke to be the best fighter, to defeat Itachi.

But there was yet another problem…

Snake.

Orochimaru's team. He had wanted to get his hands on Sasuke for years. And last year he almost succeeded.

A knock on the door made him flinch. He had been deep in thought, the sound startling him. "Come in." he stated.

The door opened and in came one of his oldest friends. "Ah, Kakashi hataka!" he exclaimed. He motioned for him to close the door and take a seat.

He gave a little wave before walking towards him, not sitting down. "I have some important information we need to discus Haruno." He stated lazily.

He had his mask pulled up, covering half his face. They had been friends for years, yet he had never seen his true appearance, sure it bothered him, but nothing to get all wound up about. "And what would that be?" he asked curiously while taking a seat in his own chair.

Kakashi placed his hands in his pockets and sighed. "I want to talk to you about my team this year." Haruno gave his own sigh, knowing what was coming. "As you know, my team consist of Naruto uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha -Haruno flinched- and your daughter Sakura." He waited to see if he would say anything. He did not. "I want to request that you let me enter them into the battle this year. I know their ready." He paused, seeing the look of anger flash across his face, but he didn't stop.

"I have taught Sasuke the Chidori, and he has mastered it well, he is excellent in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. His Sharingan is working to his advantage as well. He has grown over the years, and is entirely focused on his training. Naruto is much the same, he trained with Jiraiya over the summer, and he taught him his Rasengan. He is also skilled in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. He is very strong, stronger than you probably know." He stopped and saw that he was starring at his desk. Not a sign that he wasn't listening, but a sign he was thinking, a good sign.

And your daughter, who as you know was trained by Tsunade, is incredibly talented herself. She has amazing chakra control, and the things she can do with are amazing !" he could feel himself filling with energy, talking about his students achievements made him all giddy, he couldn't help it. He was old; there wasn't much else to get all woohoo about these days. "Not only can she heal with it, but she can-

"That's enough."

Kakashi shut his mouth.

"I know everything there is to know about every ninja in my Dojo, I may be old but I have not yet lost my memory, I do not need to be reminded." He hissed. He was obviously angry. He placed his hands on the desk and took a deep breath. "What you are asking of me…is too much…to have my own Daughter fight in a death match is just…too…much…" he whispered. He closed his eyes, he had lost his wife recently in an accident, and he didn't want to lose the only other thing he loved.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "Sir with all due respect, Naruto and Sasuke can not enter the battle unless they have Sakrua, and if you wish for him to ever kill Itachi, then you will have to let her fight. She is ready, she has told me many times she wishes too." He explained. He was about to continue further he stopped, because he saw tears flowing down the man's face. Now look what you've done…

"The words you speak are true, and I know that I will have to eventually let her fight…but…this soon?" he shook his head, opening his tortured filled eyes. "My little girl fighting…my angel…fighting those retched men?" he stood up and turned away, whipping the tears from his eyes. "Do what you must…but if anything happens to her…"

There was no need for him to continue. He took a bow and vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving the man to his thoughts.

She will surly perish…
