Before long, night had fallen in Konoha, and the Akatsuki members were sitting in a dark alleyway in one of Konoha's most deserted areas.
"So…Uhh…Why are we all here again? I mean, we fish hate the darkness."
"I am hungry. Leader-sama, what do we do now?"
"I dunno…Maybe because two idiots named Kisame and Hidan forgot to buy a house. Damn, what will we do now?"
"Hnn…Look at the profits of killing your clan: no house, no food, and a fever."
"Yeah, but look at the beauty, Itachi; you should be optimistic. I, as your leader, will help us get what we desire."
"Hnn…"
Naruto, tired and hungry after the day's events, addressed his team.
"Kisame and Hidan, you are both idiots. We were supposed to rent or buy a house. What were you guys doing?"
"Well, I was eating…" Kisame answered.
"I think I was doing something…Can't really remember," Hidan said.
"That's why we're all here, in an alleyway, eating nothing but leftover corn that Kisame brought. So, none of you better complain about food, or our lack of shelter."
"Hnn…Why not just sneak into someone's house?"
"How dare you, Itachi, telling me, the leader of the Akatsuki, to do such horrendous things…" Suddenly, Naruto had an idea, "Guys, why don't we sneak into a house, tie up the residents, and stay for the night?"
"Hnn…Did I not just suggest that?"
"No, you didn't."
"I did."
"Yea, uhh…Leader-Sama, I think he did…"
"Yea well shut up Hidan."
"Hnn…So how do you propose we carry out this infiltration?"
"Well…" Naruto replied, " Itachi, why don't you answer that question, since I obviously thought of the idea?"
"Since we know that you did not think of the idea, I will carry on. I propose we go into a house with only one person since we do not want trouble: if there is more than one resident, one can scream and alert the village. Two, we want to infiltrate a house with one child. Why? They are weaker, and if we accidentally sneak into a Jounin's house, they'll fight us and alert the village. Now, who'll go looking for the house?"
"As your leader, I think Kisame should do it, since he was obviously the stupid one who forgot to rent a house."
"Yeah, well, what about Hidan? He doesn't even know what he was doing today. Does everyone discriminate against me because I'm a fish?"
"Now, now, Kisame," Naruto replied, "We don't hate you just because you're a fish; We have other reasons. But anyway, Hidan, you should also accompany Kisame. Itachi and I will go hunting for food to steal from stores in the mean time."
"Alright…Damn…Why is it always me..?"
"Okay Leader-Sama."
Kisame and Hidan quickly left the area.
"Come on Itachi, Aid me in the survival for food."
" Hnn…"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a while, Naruto and Itachi had reached the Konoha markets.
"Damn, it feels so quiet here in the night."
"Hnn, it does, does it not?"
"So, what do we think we should get?
"I think corn, tomatoes, lettuce, chips, peppers…"
"Okay, okay, Itachi. Just grab things from a grocery. However, if we overdo it, people will know that they have a robber."
Naruto and Itachi parted ways. Eventually, they were back at the same area with bags of food.
"Hnn…I think this will last for a long time; perhaps we will not shop for a year."
"Wow, we have $8,000 dollars of food. Itachi, you think they will recognize?"
"Yes…I mean…No, they won't. It was not one store, we went into 15...Atleast, I think we went into 15."
"Alright… Let's go back."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto and Itachi went back into the alleyway; Kisame and Hidan were there already.
"Leader-Sama, we found the perfect house, with only a girl in it. We already put tape around her head, so she can't see us."
"You did? Well, that's good."
"Hey, leader, you guys got the food?" Kisame asked.
"Well…Why do we have literally 40 full bags with us?"
" Hnn…We have a year's worth of food. Now, hurry, where's the house?"
Kisame and Hidan started to move towards the house, while Naruto and Itachi followed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eventuyally, the four members went into the house.
"Wow. This house is pretty big." Naruto exclaimed.
Itachi and Naruto quickly dropped the food, and Kisame and Hidan began to eat.
"Hnn. Don't eat them all, we'll need them for tomorrow."
Naruto and Itachi joined the other two Akatsuki members and began to eat the food. After a while, Naruto asked:
" So.. About the house…Who owns it?"
"Just some pink haired girl." Kisame replied.
"Pink haired, are you sure?" Naruto asked.
"Leader-Sama, she asked us who we were. I told them our real names."
"Hnn…You idiot…Ah well…She won't know who we are tomorrow."
"Wait…What's her name?" Naruto asked Kisame and Hidan.
" She wouldn't say…But it's written on one of her books. I think it's Sakuga…No..Sakura…Yea, that's right, it's Sakura Haruno."
Naruto started coughing violently.
