"The talking ends here. Does anyone have any questions?" Tsunade asked.

Asuma raised his hand.

"What is it?" Tsunade asked.

"Shouldn't former member of the 12 guarding ninjas Chiriku be over there? What happened to him?" Asuma asked.

"Chiriku-sama was taken down by those fiends and is now dead."

"We need to work on finding out what their goals are. If holding back seems impossible, obliterate them. They won't escape the Fire Country. Find them out promptly. GO! DISPERSE!" Tsunade ordered.

The 80 Leaf ninjas leapt off of the building and headed out of the village.

AFTER THE BATTLE AT THE FIRE TEMPLE

Hidan and Kakuzu were walking through the forest. They were still in the Fire Country and were still on their mission to find the Fire Country's Jinchuuriki. However their mission was on hold due to their leader requested their appearance so they could seal the Two and Three Tailed Bijus.

"Those Leaf ninjas are so annoying. They try so hard for disappointment." Hidan said.

"Sorry to be so annoying." A voice said behind them.

The two Akatsuki members looked back to see another Leaf ninja team. Shiranui Satori stood out front with Nara Arihiro, Shinsetsu Suzume and Kamizuki Nori. Satori pulled his two sai from their holdsters.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to kill you four just like I killed that annoying smoker."

The Leaf ninjas' eyes widened.

"He's not talking about Asuma is he?" Arihiro asked.

"He's bluffing." Satori said.

"Am I?" Hidan asked.

Hidan looked at his partner. "Stand back. I'll take care of these brats."

"Figures. Just don't take all day." Kakuzu said.

Hidan smiled at his partner. "I never take too long."

Hidan turned back around just in time to see Satori's fist connect with his face. Hidan stumbled back a few feet. He touched his chin with his fingers.

"That's going to leave a bruise." Hidan said.

"I'll leave more than a bruise." Satori shot back.

"I'll make you choke on that toothpick." Hidan said.

"Bring it."

Hidan charged with his triple bladed scythe. Arihiro put his hands in the form of the rat seal. His shadow shot from him and headed towards Hidan. Hidan saw it coming and leapt over the shadow.

"Another one attempted that same technique." Hidan said.

"That would be my cousin." Arihiro said.

"Are all of you Leaf ninjas so inbred that you're related to each other?" Hidan asked.

"Bastard." Satori said.

Nori and Suzume leapt at him at the same time. Hidan swung and hit Nori with the backside of his scythe and knocked Nori into Suzume, sending them both into a tree. Nori was unconscious. Suzume stumbled to her feet. Arihiro leapt at Hidan with his short kitana drawn. He thrust at him but Hidan just moved out of the way. He punched Arihiro in the face, knocking him backwards a few feet. He then spun around and kicked the charging Suzume across the face. Suzume flipped onto her back. Hidan lifted his weapon and brought it down on Suzume. Satori came in and kicked the weapon out of his hands. That gave Suzume enough time to get up and out of attack range. Suzume charged again but was grabbed by Hidan and thrown against a rock. Suzume was out cold. All that were left were Satori and Arihiro. Arihiro put his hands together and did the seal of the Snake.

"Kage Kusari no Justu." (Shadow Chains Technique)

His shadow reformed into chains and shot at Hidan. Hidan didn't see the shadow chains coming at him and by the time he noticed it was too late. The chains had already wrapped themselves around him. He couldn't move. Arihiro ran up and stabbed Hidan in the throat with his kitana blade.

"NOW, SATORI!" Arihiro shouted.

Satori ran up and leapt into the air. Hidan turned his head around enough to see Satori's hand catch fire.

"Katon: Ryu-ken no jutsu." (Fire Element: Dragonfist Technique)

Satori's fist shot through Hidan's back and out through his chest. Satori smirked. Satori's smile faded when he noticed Hidan was smiling.

"Why are you laughing?" Satori asked.

Hidan didn't answer. With Satori's hand still through his torso, Hidan reached out and grabbed Arihiro and pulled him in close. Satori's hand was still on fire and Hidan had pulled Arihiro in and caused Satori to impale his teammate. Satori's eyes widened. Hidan began to laugh.

"Lord Jashin will bring judgement upon all of you." Hidan said.

Hidan pushed Arihiro away, who instantly fell to the ground once he lost stability and momentum. Satori quickly pulled his hand out from Hidan and ran to his comrade's side.

"Do you know how much that hole in my torso stings?" Hidan asked.

Satori ignored him, his attention was on his teammate. Hidan grabbed his weapon and raised it for an attack on the Leaf ninjas.

"HIDAN!" Kakuzu yelled.

Hidan turned around and faced his partner.

"It's time to go. Leave these brats. You've killed enough people today. Besides, our leader is waiting." Kakuzu said.

Hidan lowered his weapon in disappointment and walked away with his partner, leaving the Leaf ninjas on the battlefield.

"ARIHIRO! ARIHIRO!" Satori cried.

"Satori,….I…want you to……tell…..Hina…."

Arhiro died before he could finish his sentence.

"ARIHIRO! ARIHIRO!" Satori yelled.

There was no response from Arihiro. Satori clutched him in his arms. Tears strolled down Satori's face. He looked over to his other teammates, who were still unconscious.

"Why is it always me who kills my friends?" Satori said to himself.
