The Budget- Kakuzu's cheapness.

{}{}{}


Kakuzu looked over the base once more. He glared at the couch which if he got rid of, it would save $75. The Akatsuki could sit on the floor, couldn't they? Didn't Itachi's book collection cost some?

"The hell are you doing?" Hidan questioned.

"Lowering our budget. I'm trying to get it to $80 by the end of the week. Hey...how much did your bed cost?" Hidan glared at him.

"We aren't getting rid of my bed, I make sacrifices on that!" Kakuzu sighed. Maybe everyone would have to start skipping breakfast.

"Then none of us shall eat breakfast and dinner anymore." Hidan and Kakuzu turned to hear a familiar snicker. To reveal Deidara and his annoying face.

"Like hell I'm skipping dinner, hm. Why don't you just sell Sasori's other puppets, hm?" Hidan and Kakuzu sweat dropped. They remember the last time they attempted to sell one of those. Ended in an exploded base, a bald Kisame, and many bad memories. Didn't help that it was Konan's time of the month back then.

"I don't want a timely demise. I'm gonna sell Itachi's books." Kakuzu decided, until he heard a yawn from the doorway turned into a laugh.

"You wouldn't be able too. He put a barrier of Ametarasu around them. Only he can get through." Kisame lamented. Kakuzu cursed. Maybe he could sell Kisame's Samehada. It was a valuable sword. It would go for 115 or maybe $200.

"Let me sell your sword." Kisame laughed bitterly.

"Touch my sword and you'll die." He blinked.

"I can't, remember?" Kakuzu teased.

"I'll rip out one of your hearts and feed it to Zetsu." Kisame dead panned. Kakuzu shuddered.

"I'd lend you my heart, hm!" Deidara smiled. Hidan laughed. "No one wants your heart Deidara. Not until we figure out what gender you are!" Deidara glared.

"You guys only say that because I have long hair, hm!" Kisame scratched the back of his head and shrugged. "Yeah, but you're also very girlish." Deidara glared.

"Hidan can be girlish!" Hidan pointed his blade at him. "Fuck off Dei." Deidara brought out his bombs.

"You wanna go?" Kakuzu glared and brought out his tentacles. "I'm not paying off any more damages, so both of you shut up." They refrained from killing each other.

"Why don't you sell Leader-sama's adult books?" They turned to see Tobi at the doorway. They sweat dropped.

"No way..! Pain in the ass has adult books?" Hidan snorted. Tobi nodded eagerly.

"Tobi knows where they are, wanna see?!" Kisame shook his head, Hidan gave an eager yes, Deidara laughed, and Kakuzu contemplated it. But he didn't want to be on the end of an angry Shinra Tensei.

"No, that's not a good idea..." Kakuzu shuddered.

"You all are hopeless, just sell Deidara's clay." Sasori spoke up, entering though the doorway as well. Deidara jumped.

"No I don't think so! Let's sell your puppets, hm?!" Deidara warned. Sasori gloomed.

"Touch them and you're dead." Kisame rolled his eyes. Kakuzu growled in frustration.

"Can any of you give good ideas!?" He shouted.

"What's with the ruckus? We are trying to sleep." Zetsu sighed. They all groaned.

"OOh great, another arriver! Do you have an idea as to what we can sell?" Deidara growled angrily, losing his patience.

"Adult books..." Tobi reminded and earned a glare from all.

"You all are hysterical." They turned to see Konan.

"Oh for fuck sake!" Hidan cursed. "Hey...can we sell Konan's body?" Konan pointed deadly paper bombs at him. "What was that?" Hidan gulped. "N-nothing.." Konan smirked and hid her bombs, "As I thought."

"Does anyone have any smart ideas!?" Kakuzu asked, now getting hysterical himself. They heard a sigh from the window, they turned to see Itachi had been seated on the window sill the entire time.

"If you really want to save money, then request more missions from Leader-sama." Itachi closed his eyes and crossed his arms.

...

...

"Huh.." Kakuzu stated. "It was that easy. Well thanks Itachi, you were actually useful, I guess." Kakuzu ran off to request more missions, but he wished he had knocked before entering Pains room.

"Holy CRAP! Sorry, sorry!" Kakuzu stammered.

"Kakuzu..." Pain growled. "SHINRA TENSEI!"
