All right! More anti-Leaf chappies yet to come! Here's another one.

Chapter Two: Enhancement and Training

Sesshoumaru and his group, plus the two young shinobi-in-training finally arrived at the River country, sensing any intruders along the way. As the group had opened a secret doorway leading into a dark chamber.

"Naruto, welcome to the Akatsuki base, our home. Same words apply to you, Neji." Sesshoumaru replied.

The Hyuga prodigy scanned the base for anyone, and found only four people. Naruto was clutching his stomach, seeing as he didn't eat anything when they left that hellhole of a village the old man of a Kage called Konoha. However, Sesshoumaru gestured the two youngsters to follow him.

"Fellow Akatsuki members. I have brought to our base the container of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and a member of the Hyuga clan." he announced.

Immediately the rest of the Akatsuki members had gathered around the demon lord, and looked at Naruto and Neji.

"Well, leader-sama. We should extract the beast right away." a blond haired former Iwa shinobi said.

"No. I plan to train this demon container to his full potential, along with this Hyuga right here." Sesshoumaru replied. "Now our organization has two shinobi that possess the most feared kekkei genkai."

"You've got a good point there, leader-sama." a shinobi with his face covered replied.

"However, I think that we should enhance these two, along with the girl that Kagura would bring along." the demon lord said. "We've got four years to collect kekkei genkei from anyone, including ourselves. However, I'm making this mission an A-rank, because you will be extracting DNA from any ninja around the world."

"Why don't we get started on that?" a certain ex-Suna puppeteer asked.

"Because the two need some rest after traveling from that hellhole." Itachi said. "I hope that we have enough money to do this project."

"A good pint there, Itachi. But our goal is bigger than that. We should build ourselves an empire. A modern empire, which will surpass all countries." Sesshoumaru said with a glint in his eyes.

"An empire. Then, we'll be so powerful, it'll make that traitorous snake's hidey hole look like that trash can of a village those morons called Konoha." Kisame replied with a grin.

the enhancement project for the Hyuga and the Uzumaki had begun with some success. Every day for the past four years, numerous DNA had been extracted, mainly from any clan around the world. Some DNA were acquired by bribing a certain traitorous serpent of a Sannin with money. By the end of those four years, Naruto and Neji, plus a girl called Kana were now extremely powerful, with Neji being a new demon container of an eight-tailed snow dragon, and Kana a container of the seven-tailed phoenix. Also, after four years, the Akatsuki have acquired seven more members, each of them were unique. Those seven were a serpent sword wielder, an expert poison maker, an undead gigantic human, a siege-tank like human, an explosives expert and efficient fire breather (more powerful than a Fire style jutsu), a man with two personalities, and a leader with a gigantic halberd.

[fours years later

The newly recruited Band of Seven were training the three new genin in ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu in another part of the chamber, while the rest of the Akatsuki members were away, purchasing land from the countries of Earth and Wind, plus acquiring a few more territories in between. Akatsuki now grew from a mere organization to a new nation of Light, with a population of a whooping 729,000 people, with a new shinobi city called Akatsukidaitoshi, with a population of 252,000 people. It was a new sight, with tall modern skyscrapers, electric trains, and many modern innovations.

[At the new city

"I believe it's time we call the three new genin, and the Band of Seven to come to the new city." Itachi said.

An hour later, the said group had arrived. Naruto was so excited, and yet he was calm. Neji was staring at the city in sheer utter shock.

"This new city was constructed the same time as your enhancement period." Sesshoumaru said, as he wore a hat of a Kage. "From now on, I'll be the Hikage. But I'm also your sensei, Naruto."

"Do we have a new mission, Sesshoumaru-sensei?" Kana asked.

"Yes, we do. An assassination mission. You three are to go to Wave, and kill a bridge builder. Be careful, I've sensed that the foolish Konoha nin are going to protect this bridge builder as well." he replied. "I'll be going with you, while Bankotsu here will temporarily take over as Hikage."

The leader of the Band of Seven grinned. "Hey, I'll do a good job here, Sesshoumaru-sama."

"WE'd better go to it." the demon Hikage replied.

And here's another chapter! Inuyasha and company will appear in the Chunin exam arc. Plus the Band of Seven is introduced. Kagura will appear in the next chappie, and Team Sesshoumaru, as the new squad of Naruto-Neji-Kana are now referred to, will unlock their new kekkei genkai. Also, the introduction to the new eye, the Tengugan. Practically the Byakugan and Sharingan combined. Itachi will undergo the combo of Byakugan/Sharingan as well. That's more support for Akatsuki.
