Konoha's #1 Prankster: Akatsuki's Revenge (KPAR)

Chapter 3- Keep it in the Family

*I don't own any of the characters except Hyō*

*previously on KPAR*

"Okay but don't freak out or try and use any of your attacks in the house" Naruto said quickly as the trio became visible and Sasuke's eyes widen in shock.

"Itachi" Sasuke said as he looked up at his brother.

"Hello Sasuke" Itachi said as the rest stood on edge, waiting to see what would happen after the long reunion of family members came to an end.

All was quiet in the room, barely the sound of their breathing as a lot of them were holding their breaths as they waited for Sasuke to hit the fan, pun intended, as the brothers looked at each other. Sasuke's eyes returned to normal as they saw him mentally putting the pieces together. What they wasn't expecting was for Sasuke to snicker, which made them blink, thinking they had imagined it before he snickered again that soon turned to laughter. The group exchanged a look with Itachi who look the same, the only sign he was curious was brow that was raised as he stared at his brother.

"So that's why you never told me" Sasuke said between laughs as he looked up back at his brother, a unreadable look in his eye. "I never would have figured it out" Sasuke said as he tried to get his laughter under control while Hyou just shrugged and smiled.

"I guess it's a hidden secret in the Uchiha family and they act the way they do to hide it" Hyou said, looking up at the group who was seriously confused right now.

"What are you talking about?" Itachi finally asked, trying to figure out the inside joke of their conversation while Sasuke stopped laughing and looked at them, eyes gleaming with understanding.

"Oh, I just never guessed it would be my brother who was the one pulling pranks on the Akatsuki" Sasuke said with a smirk as he noticed the shock looks on all of their faces.

"How do you know?" they all asked while Sasuke blinked and grinned.

"You didn't tell them yet?" he said to the air which made the others wonder what he meant while Konan, Deidara, and Itachi looked at Hyou with a suspicious feeling. The others notice this and looked at her too, who was wearing a feline grin as she spoke up.

"I didn't want to spoil the surprise for you Sasuke besides its more fun to see their reactions" Hyou stated casually while the others pieced the facts together in their mind.

"You were the one who left us the letter" Naruto gasped as he looked at Hyou who grinned, eyes glowing behind her shades.

"Maybe" she responded, grin still on her face.

"You were the one who told me what to do for the prank" Matsuri said as she stood up, thinking how she recognized her voice from yesterday.

"Maybe"

Gaara just looked at her with a suspicious look as he voiced his thoughts.

"You were the one who tucked us in that night"

"Huh, what do you mean?" everybody asked as turned to the redhead with highlights in his head who was looking at Naruto and Hinata.

"Remember the night of the finale prank we were too tired to even move so how did we get into our beds underneath the covers?" Gaara asked which made everybody look quiet as they remembered that night before they all turned to Hyou. This time Hyou had a sheepish look as lightly shook her head.

"Okay, that one wasn't me directly but I did help some" Hyou explained while Hinata frowned and asked who she was. Itachi just stared at his brother, an unaired question on his face that Sasuke seemed to have understood.

"Yes, she is very much involved with the pranking" Sasuke said calmly, secretly enjoying the shock looks on the group's faces before they turned to look at Hyou and ask just how much involved she was in the pranking.

"Best start from the beginning. Let me properly introduce myself, my name is Yukan Hyou but I go by Hyou. I am or was from the crescent moon country but now live in Konoha and dating Sasuke. I got kicked out of the crescent moon country for my kekkei genkai,-"

"We know all that, what we want to know is how you're involved with the pranking" Konohamaru asked loudly before Matsuri slightly bopped him on the head and told him to say it in a nicer way while Hyou waved away his comment.

"I'm getting to that. Now as I was saying, I got my kekkei genkai, or my feline eyes as a lot of people like to call them, from a chimera I saved from my village. The chimera, turns out, was a deity's pet and came down to her our realm to retrieve a lost scroll my village had found which was the reason they attacked it, thinking that was trying to destroy them for finding the scroll. Well I stole the scroll and returned it to the chimera that took it and flew off but instead of being thanked for saving the village from an attack there wasn't going to happen, they kicked me out, saying I was a traitor. Yea, lot of love from my village" Hyou said sarcastically before she continued as she saw how antsy the group was to learn the secret. "So after I was kicked out of my village, the chimera came back and talked to me, yes talked to me, saying it was grateful that I saved her life and gave me the doujutsu before she told me that her deity wanted to see me so I went, seeing as I didn't have many choices.

Everybody at this moment started to get a bad feeling as Hyou's grin got bigger along with Sasuke that really freaked Naruto out, seeing as he never saw him grin like that.

"So I rode on her back and met with the deity at a special place, seeing as I wasn't permitted to go to the deity realm but does anybody want to guess who the deity was that I met?" Hyou said as she removed her shades to peer at them with shining yellow-green eyes as the others frowned, a couple of biju shaking slightly as they figured it out. "Well funny enough the deity I met was none other than…Itazura-sama, the pranking deity who really does exist" Hyou said with a smile while everybody else went cold. Sasuke hid his laugh behind a cough at the shock and uneasy faces of the others while Naruto and Gaara were talking to a pair of whimpering biju.

'What's wrong with you?' they asked while Kurama was sitting far back in his cage and Shukaku was being extremely quiet which made Gaara nervous.

"What do you mean what's wrong with us? Do you know how much deep shit we are in? We impersonated a deity, A DEITY of all people and you think he's going to accept that we pretended to be him. We're all dead" Kurama and Shukaku whimpered as they tried to make themselves small while Naruto and Gaara shivered before they returned to the real world, scared looks on their faces before Naruto gulped and Gaara twitched nervously. The rest of the group was in similar situations as they realized what that could mean for them while Sasuke looked at their expressions in curiosity while Hyou sighed, grinning a bit at their reactions.

"Calm down, he's not angry or thinking of ways to mutilate you. In fact it's quite the opposite and he's happy that you pulled pranks in his name."

This snapped everybody out of their dark thoughts as they looked up to the grinning kunoichi before they asked why.

"Well due to your pranks, he is being remembered for he became a forgotten deity, one people believe is a myth, and so few people pull pranks in the world anymore. The only ones he really like was Kurama and Shukaku who lived up to their legend of being animal pranksters."

"Oh please don't tell them that, they'll get a swell head" Naruto muttered under his breath before he chuckled as the Kyuubi snapped out that was not true before he and Kurama got into a bickering battle when Kurama said a swelled head was better than an empty one like Naruto's. Gaara remained quiet as the Shukaku praised himself for living up to his tanuki name, not wanting to get into a pointless argument with the sandy tanuki.

"Itazura-sama saw them as true pranksters and gave them the knowledge to create the prankster scrolls" Hyou continued which had everybody stunned.

"He also saw what you did last April Fool's Day, which was dedicated to him, and wanted you to continue to prank in his name so that he can be remembered by the mortals of this realm. Now you're wondering why doesn't he just come down here and do it, well, the thing is he can't because he's kind of on probation and not allowed to leave the deity realm so you can see how that works. So will you do it?" Hyou asked and gave the group enough time to digest what they had just learned before they looked at each other and grinned, nodding their heads in answer.

"I have a quick question? Exactly what are you to the pranking deity, Itazura-sama?" Matsuri asked out of curiosity.

"Oh, hm, I guess I'm his personal assistant, in a way, of the mortal realm. I was sent here to watch over all of you and help out when I can so that you can keep honoring him with pranks."

Everybody nodded in understanding before they went quiet, an unaired question emitting from Naruto until he couldn't hold it in any longer.

"So you pretended to be teme's girlfriend to get close and watch over us" Naruto asked, a blonde brow raise before he grinned when Hyou blushed, sending a quick glance toward the younger Uchiha who was sitting calmly.

"Well no, I'm really his girlfriend. I didn't even know he knew all of you, I just saw how annoyed he was at some fangirls after I had left the Hokage's office to fill out my citizen papers, so I decided to help him out by warping them to a different dimension for a while but I brought them back" Hyou said as if it was nothing while everybody else sweat dropped at how calmly she talked about opening up voids and sending people through them.

"It started with me getting rid of his girls that he took interest and then when I showed him my ability to change my eyes he was stunned and asked me to be his girlfriend"

"How did you learn to use your eyes and what do you call them anyway?" Itachi asked curiously, looking at his brother who was avoiding his gaze by looking at Hyou.

"Well, all chimeras have the ability so they didn't come up with a name but I guess I'll call it neko no me (feline eyes) or nekonome for short and as how did I learn, the chimera named Kimera taught me how to activate it and explained to me all the uses like copying blood-lines. I can only do eye blood-lines for now but with lots of practice I can do even non eye-related jutsus like the Nara's clan shadow manipulation. It would also help if I could get them to train me so that I can learn how to use it better but for now I can only give the illusion that I can use it but the eye jutsu I can do now thanks to Sasuke, the Hyuuga clan, and 'Pain'."

"So you were kicked out of your village only to be gifted by a chimera, become the assistant of a pranking deity, and managed to become Itachi's younger brother's girlfriend…I wish my luck was that good when I left my village, un" Deidara grumbled as Hyou giggled at his words.

"Well since you're such a miracle worker maybe you can find Itachi a girl-"

"No" Itachi said quickly, frowning at his grinning brother while everybody laughed at how fast he responded before they all went quiet when they heard someone knocking at the door.

"I'll get it, you three disappear" Hyou said before she fueled chakra and disappeared in a blur that surprised everybody. Hinata asked about that while Itachi, Konan, and Deidara disappeared from view, also curious at the strange ability.

"It's her swift style which takes water and lightning chakra, so fast even the sharingan can barely keep up with it" Sasuke said proudly while the others say wow before they heard the sound of footsteps and watched as Neji appeared. He told Hinata it was time to go home before he turned to the rest.

"Gaara-san, you're siblings want you to send a letter to know they're okay and Sasuke, Naruto, you two need to see Tsunade about a mission" he informed as the group nodded and said went to grab their things before heading toward their designated locations.

"How's Tenten doing Neji?" Naruto said slyly as he watched the stoic Hyuuga blush and clear his throat before he said well as he continued to look forward, missing the group's grins as they got ready to go.

"Later everybody" Konohamaru said cheerily as he went to find his team-mates while the rest followed Sasuke out of the house before Hinata and Neji split to return to the Hyuuga Manor as the rest made their way to the Hokage's office. Naruto, being his usual rude self, was about to barge in when Gaara grabbed him with his sand and dragged him back, making the blonde cry out in surprise.

"Hey" Naruto said as he turned toward the frowning redhead who told him to knock which made Naruto raise a brow before he did just that. From inside they heard mumbling coming from Tsunade who was talking with somebody.

"Aw, it didn't work. Maybe next time Sai" they heard Tsunade mumble which made Naruto realize that they had planned to prank him and he thanked Gaara before he mentally asked how he knew. He responded that Itachi had told him and he mentally thanked the Uchiha before he opened the door to show a frowning Tsunade and a calm looking Sai.

"Hey baachan" Naruto said loudly as he walked into the room before he felt something land on his head and start to move around. "Waah" Naruto cried out as he grabbed whatever was on his head and threw it down to see an ink snake that slithered away and back to Sai who was smiling while Tsunade let out a laugh.

"SAI…that was a good job" Naruto said as he gave him thumbs up while everybody else laughed at this before Tsunade dismissed Sai who thanked Naruto and left. They watched as he left before the group, consisting of Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, Matsuri, and secretly Itachi, Deidara, and Konan, turned back to Tsunade whose lips were twitching before Sasuke asked what kind of mission they was assigned. They watched as the seriousness returned in Tsunade's face and she shifted some papers that were on her desk before she looked up at them.

"It's more of a favor actually" Tsunade said, avoiding eye contact, as Naruto eyes went half-lidded and he asked what she meant. "You and Sasuke will be gone at least a week but you will be back before Halloween" she said, looking up at them. She noticed the suspicious look in Naruto's face as he said that it sounded like she was trying to get rid of him. Tsunade quickly said that it wasn't like that but Naruto's face expression never changed as he didn't believe her, so he read her mind to get the real truth.

'Please Naruto don't take it like last time. I'm concerned for your safety this time, especially with sights of the Akatsuki, especially Itachi, around Konoha. It's not good for you or Sasuke to be around-'

"Naruto…NARUTO" Tsunade screamed as the blonde snapped out of reading her mind and slowly recalled the chakra bridge and looked up at Tsunade, now calm, as he said okay and asked where they were going. Tsunade seemed surprised at the sudden change in decision but wasn't going to question it yet as she said the hot spring country and that some suspicious activity has been happening around there.

"They believe somebody is trying to tamper with their natural hot springs and asked for assistance, since it doesn't require that many shinobi, so I decided to send my two best to take care of the problem."

"Aren't they having a festival around this time?" Naruto asked suddenly that had everybody looking at him while Tsunade had to think about it before she said she thinks so and asked why. "Well I was wondering if we could stay a little longer if we finished up early" Naruto asked, eyes wide as Tsunade sighed and said sure if they would take the mission. Naruto said sure before he looked at Sasuke who just nodded in answer.

"Hey can we bring Hinata-chan and Hyou too, I bet they will enjoy a vaca- I mean they can be very helpful with the use of their eyes" Naruto said grinning as Tsunade raised a brow, clearing hearing his true reason for wanting to invite the kunoichi.

"Fine" Tsunade gave in as she watched the blonde jump up and down in joy as Sasuke's lips barely twitched into a smile. "But you have to clear it with Hiashi first" Tsunade stated quickly as Naruto said alright and rushed out of the room, yelling out a bye behind his back. "Impatient as ever" Tsunade muttered as Sasuke took the mission report and left, he and Hyou going to go back for the trip while Gaara and Matsuri stayed to talk to Tsunade.

"Well this makes it easier for them to pull pranks" Hyou said as she, Sasuke, and the three invisible Akatsuki members followed them back to the Uchiha Compound. Elsewhere, Naruto was asking Hiashi about Hinata joining in which he gave his permission as long as Naruto promised to keep her safe which he said he would with his life.

"Come on Hinata-chan, let's go out for some cinnamon buns" Naruto said as he grabbed Hinata's hand and almost dragged her all the way to the fame dango shop that sold the sticky treats. "Hey Tenten" Naruto said as he walked pass the weapon mistress who was on her way to see Neji.

"Hey Naruto, Hinata, Gaara and Matsuri are looking for you" Tenten shouted out to the retreating duo.

"Thanks for the heads up Tenten" Hinata said before Naruto nearly dragged her around a corner where they almost ran into Itachi who was sent to look for them. They told the older Uchiha to meet them at the dango shop where he and the rest of the group met up, ordering cinnamon buns, dangos, and green tea.

"So what did baachan want?" Naruto asked as Gaara and Matsuri got comfortable as they ate their treats.

"She suggested that I join your group to keep me safe until the threat is over"

"What threat?" they all asked while Gaara grinned and Matsuri giggled.

"Just that a couple of Akatsuki members have been spotted near here, I wonder who they could be?" Naruto said as if thinking about it which had them all chuckling at the irony of it all. Said Akatsuki members, under a henge, snorted as they ate their sweet treats before Naruto jumped up and said they needed to get a move on.

"We still got to prank Deidara today remember" Naruto said as they nodded before the blonde rushed off to pack.

"Matsuri and I will be back. We're heading to Suna to get some more things" Gaara stated as they left the dango shop and hiding in a nearby alley, teleported back to their rooms where they grabbed some more clothes and anything else they thought they would need.

"Gaara-sama I'm ready" Matsuri said as she joined the redhead in his room in his room.

"Okay, let's go" Gaara said as he was about to open the door that led to his office but stopped when he heard voices in his office. "That's Kankuro and Temari's voice" Gaara whispered before he used his third eye to spy on his siblings while Matsuri cracked the door the tiniest bit to see what was about to happen.

"Hey look, we actually got a letter from Gaara" Kankuro said, sounding impress before Temari snatched it from his hands, saying that was mean as she straightened it. Matsuri and Gaara grinned to each other as they heard Kankuro ask Temari what the letter said before it went quiet for a minute.

"It says he and Matsuri are happy in Konoha, they're joining Naruto and some friends on a trip because a couple of Akatsuki was spotted nearby" at this Temari coughed to hide the chuckle that had escaped as she guessed with Akatsuki it was. Kankuro looked at his sister and asked what was wrong in which she responded with nothing before she turned back to the letter, her smile turning into a frown as she continued to read.

"Glad you're not here? Had fun without you two!"

Temari growled as she handed the letter to Kankuro who snarled about "cruel little brothers" before he read something Temari had missed.

"Hey, it says that he won a costume contest at the Uchiha's house…what did he dress up as then?" Kankuro muttered as they turned back to the desk where a scroll laid innocently. Exchanging a look, Temari picked up the scroll and unsealed it before several pictures appeared in which they picked up one to show the same thing.

"WHAT THE/DID HE…Gaara does look good though" Kankuro admitted while Temari was looking at something else in the photo.

"What's wrong with his hair?" Temari said squinting a bit which made Kankuro say 'huh' and look closer at the picture before Temari and Kankuro gasped at the same time.

"GAARA GOT HIGHLIGHTS IN HIS HAIR!"

This was too much for Gaara and Matsuri as they let out a low laugh which the two older siblings picked up on as they turned toward the bedroom door.

"GAARA, MATSURI" they screamed, advancing toward the door just as Matsuri closed it shut, Gaara deactivated his 3rd eye, and they both returned to Konoha, knowing they were in deep trouble.

*Konoha gates*

Naruto, Hinata, Sasuke, and Hyou were already at the gate while Konan, Itachi, and Deidara hid in the woods just a little ways ahead. The four-man team looked around as they were waiting for the Sun nin to join them.

"Where's-" Naruto started to say when there was a sudden poof sound and said sand nin appeared, already heading for the gate.

"Whoa, where's the fir-"

"We're caught, Temari and Kankuro are mad, we need to go NOW!" Matsuri yelled as she and Gaara were already halfway down the road before the others started to chase after them, waving bye to the guards.

"They can't be that mad?" Hinata said, running base the hidden Akatsuki before they all heard a loud cry behind them.

"GAARA WHERE ARE YOU?" the group heard Kankuro and Temari yell, anger running deep in their voice.

"…or maybe they can, un" Deidara said as they had joined the running four who could sense the anger coming closer which put them on edge.

"Get us out of here" Sasuke said as the aura of anger was coming at them at a fast pace before Deidara, Itachi, Konan, and Hyou grabbed Gaara, Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke before they teleported away just as the sand siblings appeared, looking around for the group. The group had warped just in time to a dock that was thankfully empty as they looked around before asking where they were.

"Port City" Hyou answered before they looked at her and asked what they were doing there in which she gave them a sheepish look. "It was the first place that came to mind and its closer to the hot spring so that will cut down on time" Hyou said scratching her head. The group shrugged and said okay before they looked at each other, saying it was time to split.

"We really should go and do the prank now, we've wasted more than enough time" Konan stated, knowing she was going to have to come up with a huge lie to tell Pain later. They agreed as Naruto, Matsuri, Itachi, Konan, and Deidara moved to one side as the others watched them about to leave. As they were about to say bye, Sasuke said 'wait' and asked who they were pranking today which made Naruto and Itachi look at him while Deidara responded that it was him. Sasuke stood there for a minute thinking before he nodded and told them to have fun which only increased the look he got from Itachi and Naruto which he noticed.

"…what?" Sasuke asked uncomfortable as he watched Itachi and Naruto exchange a look before Itachi pulled out a small scroll from inside his cloak which he handed to Sasuke.

"Look at it and tell me if you can read it" Itachi said, looking at Sasuke who frowned and looked at the scroll.

"Yea I can read…" Sasuke started to say until he realized their plan as he read at the bottom the point where it said that only a true prankster could read and sign. Naruto's eyes grew wide as he stared at Sasuke who was avoiding their eyesight as he rolled up the scroll.

"You're a prankster?" Naruto yelled loudly while Sasuke just remained quiet. Itachi muttered I thought so which got a reaction out of Sasuke as he told him to hush, the barest of blushes on his face which only confirmed the truth. Sasuke frowned and tried to hand the scroll back but was surprised when his brother told him to sign it.

"Why?" Sasuke asked before he grew uneasy when he saw everybody grinning

"Well you're joining us right teme?" Naruto said with the largest grin while Sasuke looked shock before he looked at the scroll, then up again, eyes landing on Hyou who was smiling, before he looked back at Itachi and asked why.

"I know I can't make up for when we were young but at least we can spend time together now" Itachi said with a small smile before he turned to Konan who asked if that was a wise choice and what if they spilled about the Akatsuki. "The Akatsuki's end is drawing near anyway, also I know the truth" Itachi stated as he looked Konan in the eye.

"What do you mean?" she asked confused, a sense of easiness coming over her.

"I know the truth on 'leader'" Itachi said a catch in his voice that they all picked up on which made Konan blink before her eyes widen in shock and she mind-linked with Itachi to talk in privacy, putting barriers up to keep out Deidara and everybody else.

'You mean you the truth about Pain?'

'Yes, I know he's the redhead that controls the 6 bodies and that his main body is your former team-mate'

'So you do know the truth about Nagato'

'Yes and a lot more, Tobi is the real leader, he's using the Akatsuki to collect them biju for him but in the end he will get rid of all of us. It's best to make him forget about Akatsuki and world peace in his mind'

"How" Konan asked out loud a brow raised as Itachi smirked and said it was all part of his plan. "You're sneaky" Konan said before she said fine and Sasuke signed the scroll, muttering about how he can't believe he was doing it as he put the scroll away.

"So when do I start?" Sasuke asked, sounding uninterested but Itachi knew he was secretly excited even if he was trying to hide it.

"You'll start tomorrow, we're behind today" Itachi said as Sasuke nodded and was about to step back when Matsuri spoke up and said he could switch with her today. Sasuke seemed surprise as this while Naruto dragged him over with them, thanking Matsuri as he did. Sasuke turned to Hyou and asked if she was okay with it in which she answered she was and told them to have fun. The group grinned as they said they would before they left to get started on the prank. All the kunoichi sighed before they cheered at their good fortune.

"Woohoo vacation time, come on Gaara-sama" Matsuri said as she grabbed the redhead with silver highlights in his hair as they took off in the direction of the hot spring country.

*Akatsuki base*

The group once again appeared in Itachi's room which Sasuke instantly looked around at before he snorted, saying it was exactly like Itachi's room at home. The older Uchiha ignored the urge to roll his eyes as Sasuke turned toward them and asked what they do now. They all pulled out their scrolls, Sasuke following their example, before looking at it, Sasuke asking about the prank on the scroll.

"We're about to show, un" Deidara sighed as he looked down at the prank. "Here goes nothing" he muttered as he did the jutsu and called out, "Prank Style: Everybody's Fool" as the air charged up like last time before dying down. They looked around and noticed that two people were missing this time. "Great now Sasuke and Naruto are gone, un" Deidara sighed as the others looked at him.

"I'm sure they will reappear when they're done with their prank" Konan stated as they left the room to grab some lunch, unaware that the duo was still there.

*switch views*

"So this is what it's like" Naruto said as he looked around at the room, which took on a light glow, before he looked at Sasuke who was equally amazed.

"Where are we?" Sasuke asked before a voice ran out, answering his question.

"You're in a split dimension where you're invisible to those around you" the voice said which they recognized instantly.

"Hyou?" they cried out and watched as the feline-like kunoichi appeared in front of them a smile on her face.

"So are you ready for Deidara's fake prank?" Hyou asked, smiling as the boys said yea and asked what they were going to do for his prank. "…well, I don't really know yet. I haven't come up with a good prank for him mostly I was just going to mess with his clay" Hyou said sheepish as she looked at the boys, hoping they could come up with a prank. They thought for a minute and Naruto suggested they made animal sculptors from the clay in which Hyou grinned and said that it sounded like fun.

"We can leave different animals all over their rooms"

"We can't make clay animals if we don't know how to" Sasuke said as if making a point but noticed the grin on Hyou's face as her eyes glowed for a second before he and Naruto got a headache suddenly.

"Now you can, so have fun" Hyou said on a wink before she disappeared back to the kunoichi as the boys looked at each other with a grin.

"Who should we start with first?" Naruto asked as he opened the door and looked back at Sasuke who had an evil grin on his face.

"Itachi of course" Sasuke said which made Naruto laugh and said of course before they snuck off to Deidara's room and swiped his giant bowl of clay that he had hidden under his bed. "Off to Itachi's room" Sasuke said with a dark chuckle that made Naruto wonder just how much of his vengeful self was still laying around in the Uchiha as Naruto made clones to help carry the clay as they snuck into the rooms. In Itachi's room they left ravens and weasels all over and in his drawers, Konan's room they left cat figures all over her bed, in Pain's room they had wolves coming out from under the bed, and just for fun had little scorpions on Sasori's table before then used almost all of the last of the clay to make a badger flying on the back of a bird lying in the middle of the bowl on Deidara's bed.

"That was fun" Naruto said with laugh before looked at his hands and said he had an idea before he scooped up the last of the clay and rubbed it on all the door knobs and some furniture except for a few, making it more convincing. "Now, how do we get everybody's attention?" Naruto muttered before he saw Sasuke making some familiar hand seals and knew exactly what to do as he threw the clay in the air just as Sasuke let out a small fire at the clay.

"Let's go" Sasuke said quickly as he nearly dragged Naruto into Itachi's room and closed the door just as there was a loud explosion and footsteps could be heard. They bit their knuckles to hide their laughter as they felt the jutsu wear off as they heard someone ask what the hell happen before someone else answered that it sounded like the brat's clay exploding.

"Let the fun begin"

*switch views*

"Deidara, why in the hell did you activate your fucking clay in the damn base again" Hidan yelled out as the frowning blonde said it wasn't him and shouldn't have been his clay.

"I was with you bozos when the explosion happened and can't explode unless I activate it" Deidara growled as he went toward his room and noticed the leftover clay on his door. The others watched as he opened the door and went quiet before a dark aura shrouded him. "Who did it?" he said menacingly as he turned toward them, anger shining brightly in his visible eye. They all looked confused, except Konan and Itachi, as they asked what he meant and opened the door wider to show them the clay badger and bird sitting in the bowl, a grin on its face as if taunting Deidara.

"Wow Deidara-sempai, that's really good" Tobi said, eye hole smiling while the blonde growled and said he didn't do it as he let go of the door to see clay on it.

'Look at the door handles' Naruto and Sasuke mentally told him as he turned to look at the group and pointed a finger at them, saying he believed that they were behind it all. They started arguing, saying how could he blame them and he said that to check the door knobs that didn't have clay on them.

"I bet there will be clay all over the place from when you messed with my clay"

"How do we know it's not you trying to set us up" Kisame said angry while Deidara snorted and rolled his eyes.

"Why would I waste my precious clay on making figures when I could just blow all of you up" Deidara stated calmly which led to another argument as Konan went inside her room, Pain noticing the clay on the door before she came back with one of the clay figures in her hands.

"Still you got to admit it's cute though" Konan said as she held up the feline figure to show everybody just as Deidara twitched at what happened to his clay.

"All my clay…is gone…and been turned…into clay animals…I should activate it right now" Deidara muttered looking down, not wanting them to see the smug look on his face as he heard them cry out no and frantically trying to talk some sense into him. "But I won't because I would only be hurting those who had no part in it" he continued which made everybody calm down. "But now all of you except Konan, Leader-sama, Sasori no danna, and Itachi owe me for new clay" Deidara said with a grin which resulted in more arguing as they said that they weren't paying for it.

"You bastards planned this I bet" Deidara shouted.

"How know not set-up?" Kakuzu answered back.

"Yes, in fact where have you been since you skipped breakfast and haven't been seen around all day" Sasori asked, curious as to his partner's disappearances lately.

"I was with Konan and Itachi, if you don't believe me than ask them" Deidara said as Pain turned toward said Akatsuki members and asked if he was telling the truth. They both nodded, saying he was before Konan suggest they check all the rooms for the missing clay which opened up another set of complaints that was cute off by Konan's glare.

"Fine" they all grumbled as they went to all the rooms to find clay in all of them the victims rooms with the figures and everybody else with clay clinging to the doorknobs, dresser, and bathroom as if they went to wash their hands of the crime. The group was stunned while Pain frowned and looked at a seemingly mad Deidara who was keeping up the appearance by thinking of Tobi annoying him later about the clay figures. Pain sighed as the truth was in front of him (or so he thought) and told the rest of them to pay Deidara which resulted in a protest which Deidara countered with the threat of blowing up the base. Pain, who was now irritated to the mad, ordered them to pay up in which they all did, except for Sasori, Konan, and Itachi, as they handed over the money.

"Thank you" Deidara said with a big smile on his face as he said that he was heading down to the town to buy some more. "Konan, Itachi, want to come, I'll treat you guys to dessert" Deidara said as he left the hall with Konan and Itachi in tow as Pain left to "get away from the idiots for a while". Sasuke and Naruto, seeing a job well done, was about to follow the trio when they heard the others talking about Deidara.

"That little sissy girly boy needs to find a real hobby" Kisame grumbled as the others agreed before they left for their rooms.

'I think it's time for another lesson' Naruto thought which surprised Sasuke who nodded as he and Naruto snuck back into Itachi's room and locked the door. If anybody had left that room at the moment they would have heard the low sound of a camera, the sound of clones being made, and the laughter of two mischievious boys who were pulling a little side prank.

*in town*

"Dangos have nearly tasted so good. I guess when you buy it with someone else's money it make is so much sweeter, un" Deidara said happily as they enjoyed their dangos in front of a traditional café.

"Hey, where are Sasuke and Naruto at?" Konan asked as she looked around for them while Itachi calmly said that they would appear when they were done with the prank. They had just finished their dangos when they saw the duo running toward them, huge grins on their faces.

'That's not good' the trio thought as they asked what they did this time.

"Well…you'll see when you get back" Sasuke said smugly which concerned Itachi as he never saw his brother like this. The group sighed and decided to stay in the town a little longer before it was time to return as it was getting late. "Dobe, we should be heading to hot spring country" Sasuke said, they having taught him some of the jutsus from the previous prank style scrolls and could now teleport by himself.

"Alright teme, it was fun today and sorry about wasting all your clay Deidara but hopefully the pictures in the camera can make up for it" Naruto said as he and Sasuke started to fuel chakra while the three Akatsuki members asked what he meant.

"Nothing, later" the duo said at the same time before they quickly disappeared, a large grin on their faces. Konan, Itachi, and Deidara looked at the spot Naruto and Sasuke had occupied just a second ago before they blinked.

"I think we better hurry back" Itachi said as the others nodded in agreement before they warped to the entrance of the base where they heard a loud commotion coming from inside which concerned them as they opened the door to see pictures all over the place. What was even funnier was that all the Akatsuki except for Pain and Sasori were struggling to remove the pictures.

"What happened?" Konan and Deidara asked as they went over to the quiet duo who staring at the others.

"Something strange is going on around here, everybody goes in their room and when they come out these pictures appear out of nowhere" Sasori stated as he looked at Deidara who staring as Kisame and Kakuzu were used as stepping stools to get the pictures that was on the ceiling. Konan was about to ask what he meant when there was a crashing sound and they all turned to look at the now large pile of Akatsuki members who were groaning and cursing as they tried to get up. As they fell, a large stack of photos they had already collected went flying all in the air. The standing 5 picked a photo out of the air to see what the fuss about and was shocked at what they saw. Itachi was quiet while Konan's lips were twitching and Deidara just went out in full laughter as he showed them the picture of Hidan in a tutu while Konan showed him one of Kakuzu tending an herb garden.

"Okay, these are priceless" Deidara stated as he started to pick up as many as he could before jetting off to his room, laughter heard as he ran away.

"What the fuck is happening around here" Hidan cried out as Konan, Itachi, Pain, and Sasori decided to leave the group to play clean up and headed back to their rooms for the night. Out of the 4, 2 of them were thinking the same thing that Deidara was thinking of as he created a scrapbook on the pictures that had been taken.

'Those two are truly evil, I know it's going to be a sweet Halloween this year' they thought, hiding a smirk as they went to their rooms, thinking about what the rest of the week would bring.
