Ch 3

Akatenchii looked up at the sky as darkness began to fill the forest, she knew the danger of trying to traverse the forest in the night, especially if you had no knowledge of it she sighed she had found a clearing near a river this was a good spot for her right now.

She dropped from the trees and looked at the water closing her eyes for a moment before she sighed and sat down where she was leaning against a tree.

"I have been going for 10 hours and nothing." She muttered, she was taking this mission serious just like all of her missions but for some reason this one was different it just felt different.

On all of her other missions she was the last person sent out, she rarely got the chance to stop things from going bad as she mainly saw things once they had already gone bad.

She concentrated and did a few quick hand sighs "Mizu Bushin no jutsu" She commanded calmly making three water clones.

She looked at one "You go back to the Mizukage and let her know our status." She stated turning to the next one "You continue the search for the Akatsuki members; remember the orders only observe them." She watched the two with orders take off in their respective paths. She turned to the last one "Guard the area while I sleep." She commanded hopping up into a tree the leaves surrounding me as I propped against the tree.

The clone said nothing just nodded and started walking around the perimeter. Akatenchii closed her eyes and started to go into a half sleep state half awake state.

Zetsu who had been watching the entire time blinked as all of the clones dispersed, he had been following the Anbu for several hours now and he had gathered that it was going after Akatsuki who were currently hunting it by orders of Leader, and that the Anbu was feminine, so he was fairly certain it was a she also he knew from the mask and the cloak this Anbu had to be the Red Angel of Death.

"Hunting your hunters Anbu and you do not even know it." He muttered.

"This Anbu is very interesting; she doesn't even know that she is being hunted." He chuckled darkly.

"She is indeed interesting; I do want to know if the Anbu is a female." His conversation continued.

"I wonder what the Anbu taste like." He blinked

"Well she smells like blood, sweat, the sea, very female." This analysis just fueled the other side.

"I know she smells nice, but I wonder if she taste as good as she smells." He growled.

"Well let's find Kakuzu, Hidan, Deidara, and Tobi and let them know we found the target." He chuckled looking down from the tree he was part of the Anbu was sleeping peacefully in the darkness leaning against his tree.

"It would be so easy to take the Anbu right now." He protested.

"But it will be even easier in a few hours when the others are with use, and she earned her name for a reason, I want to see that potential." He sighed and reached down gentle so as not to wake the Anbu he touched the chest and confirmed that the Anbu was female, he groped her and felt her squirm and he retracted his hand from her body retracting her form into the tree.

Akatenchii opened her eyes looked around she could have sworn something just touched her chest, after a minute or two passed she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Zetsu came out of the ground right next to Tobi.

"Hello Zetsu Senpai." Tobi almost yelled seeing Zetsu.

"Hello Tobi Kun," Zetsu muttered looking around, everyone was looking at him.

"Great another hell bound Atheist." Hidan muttered.

"What do you want Zetsu?" Kakuzu asked the presence of the sylvan criminal meant something was up.

"Your target has been located." Zetsu stated simply.

"Oh, how far away is he?" Hidan raised an eyebrow in question.

"She is about a mile up that river." Zetsu stated pointing to the river they were camped next to.

"She hmm, so Tobi was right for once yeah." Deidara stated.

"How did you discover our target was female?" Kakuzu asked looking at Zetsu.

"Well I have been following her all day, so I picked up on her scent, she has the feminine scent, and after darkness started to set in she made several clones and sent them out, there is currently a clone looking for us, a clone going to the Mizukage, and a clone somewhere around her body, protecting her so she can sleep." Zetsu chuckled darkly and Kakuzu tilted his head. "What are you amused by?" He asked.

"The clone did a rotten job of protecting here I got close enough to grope her." Zetsu was amused and he wanted to return to his target.

"Wow un." Deidara stated hearing this.

"If you got close enough to grope her why if the hell didn't you capture her?" Kakuzu growled in annoyance.

"I am going to assist you in capturing her as I want to see her fight when she is outnumbered and will lose." Zetsu stated.

"Then assist us we will capture her tonight since you say she is so close." Kakuzu stated standing up.

"This will be an interesting hunt." Zetsu muttered disappearing into the ground.

Deidara made a bird and took to the sky over the river.

Tobi took off jumping through the trees following the river.

Hidan looked at Kakuzu "Man those two get on my fucking nerves."

Kakuzu nodded "They are very annoying."
