~ The Black Leaf ~ Chapter 1

A/N: Hello again! Here is the very first chapter. Hope you enjoy it! :)

And I forgot something at the prologue:

Disclaimer: Only the story and plot are mine.


- Chapter 1: Plans -

"Finally! We are done with that cursed mission!" Naruto half-yelled.

"Yeah... that was really tiring..." Sasuke mumbled.

"I agree with the both of you..." Sakura said.

"You all did very well with this A-rank mission. You deserve a good rest." Kakashi said tiredly.


At Tsunade's office...

"I see you completed the mission, Kakashi. But where are your students?" Tsunade asked.

"I let them rest a bit early."

"I see."

"Tsunade-sama... when will we take that mission?"

"Soon... They aren't making moves yet. But if they will... We'll get that chance to strike."


The next day... at Tsunade's office...

"What is our mission today, obaa-chan?" Naruto said excitedly.

"No missions today. It's official."

"WHAT?" Team 7 all said in unison.

"How come?" Sasuke asked.

"Well... Akatsuki is starting to make moves. If they will strike, we need to have allies who are available and free of any missions. These allies are mostly jonins. But, all of you are strong enough to defeat one Akatsuki member or at least distract them, am I right? If the ANBU aren't mistaken... three Akatsuki teams will show up in the village in about a week or so. No doubt these three teams are...

Deidara and Sasori...

Hidan and Kakuzu...

and lastly...

Itachi and Kisame."

Team 7 was shocked at the last team. Especially Sasuke.

'Nii-san... is going to the village?'

Tsunade continues talking. "Those three teams will distract our free allies and give chance for their leader, Pain, to find Naruto and destroy the village. Of course, we must avoid this from happening so... that's all you need to know for now."

"Tsunade-sama?" Sakura said with her hand raised up.

"Yes, Sakura?"

"... Can you give us any information about the three teams? Like how they fight or their cooperation?"

"Good question. I'll start with Deidara and Sasori. Deidara specializes in bombs. His bombs come in forms of clay. He uses this in the form of Earth Style so it shouldn't be too hard for someone with Lighning Style. Deidara's reckless, too. Sasori either comes in a human form or a puppet form. When he's in puppet form, his metal tail is filled with poison so you better have antidotes. He isn't too threatening when he's in his human form but if there is a puppet around he will transfer his mind into that puppet. Sasori is the leader of this team. They have like an on and off cooperation. Sometimes they cooperate, sometimes they don't."

"The second team is Hidan and Kakuzu. Hidan is immortal. That is all the info we have about him so you have to find a way to hurt him. Even if you cut his head or thrust a blade into his heart, he's still alive. Kakuzu can use all five elements. He has five hearts or five lives. Kakuzu is the leader of the team. These two don't have much cooperation at all."

"And finally..." Team 7 gulped.

"... the third team, Itachi and Kisame. As we all know, Itachi has the Sharingan. He is strategic, wise, and so fast that you can't even see the signs he weaves. He uses Fire Style but there are rumors that he has Water Style, does he Sasuke?"

"Yes... he does have Water Style, Tsunade-sama." Sasuke answers firmly.

"Okay. Then he specializes in genjutsu. Kisame uses Water Style. He is also smart but not quite in par with Itachi. He has an enormous amount of chakra. Itachi is the leader of this group. And that's mostly it. Gather Konoha 12 and tell them all about this."

"Oh, and I almost forgot. The Akatsuki will be from the east. Is all of that understood?"

"Yes, Tsunade-sama." Team 7 said.


Somewhere else...

"I shall explain our plan once more."

"Deidara and Sasori, distract the west part of the village. Enter that part through the Hideout 2. Deidara, use your bombs to lure the Leaf Ninjas away from the village then destroy them there. When you're done, go back and lure more ninjas."

"Understood, un! I'll destroy those Konoha brats!"

"Understood, Leader."

"Hidan and Kakuzu, go to the east part of the village. Just fight and destroy the ninjas there since the Leaf thought we are going to come from the east when actually, it's the opposite."

"I'll destroy those fucking bitches!"

"Yes."

"Zetsu, tell any new plans the Leaf has thought of that disrupts our plans."

"Understood."

"Konan, you will accompany me."

"As you wish, Pain-sama."

"And lastly, Itachi and Kisame, you distract the center part of the village. If you want to lure them out, lure them to the west part of the village. You will most likely find Uzumaki Naruto there. Capture him if you can."

"Understood."

"Got it."

"After some time, when there are only a few ninjas, I'll enter with Konan and capture Naruto whenever the assigned team didn't get the chance to. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Leader."

A/N: I got a feeling this story will only have 5 chapters or something... oh well. Thanks for reading and tell me what you think! :D

Okay... I didn't keep my promise... You can slap me...
