"Sasori? And...who's that?" Kisame stared at the two.
"That, is Pein. His real body. His real name is Nagato. What are you doing here?" Sasori explained.
"Got thrown out of heaven, duh. I was able to keep a low-profile until now," Kisame smirked.
"Of course," Nagato rolled his eyes.
"Hey, can you get me down? I think I broke my ankle," Kisame grumbled.
After they got Kisame down and treated his ankle, they sat down to rest.
"So, what's up with this world?" Kisame asked.
"It's the afterlife of a different world. I got sent here by chance, and Nagato got sent here by Itachi's Susanoo," Sasori explained.
"Eh? You're going to have to explain everything to me," Kisame sighed.
"This is going to take a while..."
TIME-SKIP: 2 HOURS
Finally, Sasori and Nagato finished explaining to Kisame.
"That's way different from our world's heaven," the blue-skinned man whistled.
"Yeah, probably," Nagato smirked.
"So are you going to be a shinigami?" Sasori asked.
"Yeah, I'd be bored as hell if I didn't," Kisame said in a 'duh' tone.
"Oh, yeah, what's 'our' heaven like?" Nagato asked.
"Um...it's pretty peaceful. There's obviously the gods to keep order, but we're mostly left to our own devices. Yep. Boring. Until the gods noticed me that is. They looked me up and were all shocked and stuff. They summoned me immediately and had a trial. I just shrugged and they went and chucked me out. That was probably the most interesting thing that happened to me. I didn't see any of the others though. By the way, what happened in the war?" Kisame questioned.
The two shinigami filled him in, and the former shinobi frowned, "I didn't see the others anywhere in heaven. Not even in the 'waiting zone'."
"Maybe they stayed in the living world. Well, we know Deidara's in Hueco Mundo being a happy little hollow," Sasori said sarcastically.
"Do you think that we can find him?" Nagato asked.
"Dunno, ask me in fifty years. I might have an answer," the red head shrugged.
Kisame piped up after a minute, "Was that sarcasm?"
"Depends on how you want to look at it," Sasori said.
After another minute, the former Mist shinobi growled, "That's not helpful at all."
Sasori smirked then grabbed Kisame and flash stepped away, fully expecting Nagato to follow.
They stopped in front of the Shinigami Academy registration area, and Sasori pointed, "That's where you go to learn to be a shinigami. See ya."
The two shinigami then returned to their respective divisions, leaving Kisame to register by himself.
"Thanks a lot, you two," Kisame growled to thin air before sighing and heading to the line.
TIME SKIP: THIRTY YEARS LATER
"Kisame! The hollow is going your way!" Sasori called as the hollow fled from him.
"Got it," the Eleventh Division Shinigami started to get ready.
Once the hollow was within range, Kisame called out, "Hide the truth, Shiro Kyogi!"
His giant sword glowed with reiatsu before three slits with jagged edges appeared in the center. The rest of the sword was blunt and maintained the shape of a traditional katana.
"Ha! What are you going to do with that thing? It can't even cut properly!" the hollow cackled.
Smirking, Kisame swung his sword straight at the hollows mask. Upon contact, the zanpakuto revealed tiny, hidden blades on the entire sword, and it shredded the hollow's mask to pieces.
The three then flash stepped back to the home of the shinigami, and they each went their own ways. However, soon, they were called on another mission; this time in the living world.
"Nagato, you'll be going to the living world with Akasuna and Hoshigaki to investigate these missing souls. While you're there eliminate any hollows you encounter," Captain Ukitake said.
"Yes, Captain Ukitake," Nagato nodded, and the three shinigami dashed through the Senkaimon, hell butterflies flying ahead of them.
The three shinigami stepped through the gate into the living world, and the gate closed behind them, hell butterflies going back to Seireitei.
"Say, Sasori, Nagato, notice anything familiar lately?" Kisame asked lightly.
"Yeah, I've been sensing Hidan around," Nagato nodded.
"Do you think he's the one behind the missing souls?" the Eleventh Division member glanced at the other two momentarily.
"No, his reiatsu isn't tainted, but it is higher than normal souls. He's probably too busy fending off hollows," Sasori shook his head.
"Should we send him to Soul Society?" Kisame suggested.
"I guess we should, but we can't go out of our way to do it. We have to focus on our mission first," the former Akatsuki leader said with finality, and he started to walk down the streets.
However, a person popped out of nowhere and tackled Nagato to the ground.
"Hey, redhead! You wanna become immortal?! Yeah? I know you fucking do, so I'll make you immortal immediately! All you have to do is believe in Jashin-sama, got it? Good, now I'll fucking send you to Jashin-sama immedia–. Hey, Sasori, Kisame, what are you two fuckers doing here?" the silver-haired man called from his awkward position on top of the former Akatsuki leader, not that he knew that Nagato was Pein.
"Hidan...," Sasori's eyebrow twitched as he pointed at Nagato, "You're sitting on Pein-sama..."
"Ehhh?" Hidan looked back down at the person he was sitting on.
Nagato's ringed eyes glared dangerously at the supposed immortal, and he proceeded to say, "Protect, Seishichi. Third God: Jiki."
Nagato flung Hidan down the street, who then skidded for another two blocks.
"What the fuck was that for, Pein?!" Hidan shouted, but Nagato ignored him.
Hidan eventually got back to the group and proceeded to ask, "How come you guys are here? Jashin-sama said that I was in a fucking different dimension!"
"I stumbled upon a crossover point, Nagato was sealed by Itachi, and Kisame got kicked out of heaven and just so happened to land here," Sasori explained.
"...what?"
So another round of explaining began, and, a few hours later, Hidan was up to speed.
"And since you're the cause of the disappearing souls, we'll have to get rid of you," Sasori finished.
"Wait, how about I just go to this Hueco Mundo place and gather followers? I get the followers for Jashin-sama, and you fuckers get less of those hollow things," Hidan suggested.
"Since when were you smart?" Kisame commented.
"Hey!"
"That is a good idea. However, I don't think Soul Society will be very happy about that. Hidan is still messing with the balance here after all, and we're associated with him," Sasori pointed out.
"Perhaps it's time we left Soul Society. It was getting dull over there anyway. We can also look for Deidara in Hueco Mundo," Nagato stated.
"Then it's settled. We all fucking go to this Hueco Mundo place and find Deidara-chan!" Hidan threw his hands up in exasperation and started stalking in a random direction.
Sasori looped a spiritual string around the Jashinist's neck before yanking him back causing him to yell, "Ow! What the hell was that for?!"
"We can't get into Hueco Mundo without a gargantua! We'll have to wait for a hollow to appear then go back to Hueco Mundo," Sasori explained.
Just then, the shinigami Akatsuki's cell phones made a beeping noise.
"And there's one now. Let's go," Sasori nodded dragging Hidan behind him.
The four former shinobi arrived at the hollow's location and waited nearby, with their reiatsu suppressed, for the hollow to go back to Hueco Mundo. Soon, the hollow finished feeding and opened a gargantua, and the four darted in after it. They kept hidden until the gargantua once again opened, and the former shinobi were dropped into a forest.
"Hmm...nice place they have here...," Kisame mused.
"I sense Deidara, along with the others, strongly now. They seem to be above us," Nagato stated.
"Let's go!" Hidan shouted and jumped upwards, shinobi training unforgotten.
The shinigami Akatsuki followed, and they soon blasted their way out of the forest beneath Hueco Mundo.
"Now what?" Hidan questioned looking at the sandy expanse.
Nagato shrugged, "Their reiatsu is very faint now. I can't pinpoint it, and there's too much reiatsu in the air to use tracking kido."
"I guess we're stuck wandering around looking for followers with Hidan. Any specifications, Hidan?" Sasori called.
"Nope. I just have to fucking convince them to follow Jashin-sama," Hidan grinned.
"Not if we eat you first!" a voice snarled behind the group.
Immediately, the four shinobi jumped out of the way of the enormous spiked tail.
"Hold still!" the winged-lizard like hollow roared.
"Like hell!" Hidan grinned maniacally and shot forward.
"Well, he hasn't changed," Kisame rolled his eyes.
"Take over, Shussou!" Sasori shouted and used flash step to land a hit.
"What was that?! Such a small cut isn't going to do anything to me!" the hollow laughed.
"They all say that," Sasori smirked.
Suddenly, the hollow roared, "W-what is this?!"
"My zanpakuto's power. It's entirely coated in poison that causes the victim to lose their mind," the puppet master released his shikai and sheathed his zanpakuto, letting the others finish him off.
The hollow, now reduced to an writhing heap on the sand, was easily killed by Hidan.
TIME-SKIP: FIVE YEARS SEVEN DAYS
"Hey, what's that?" Hidan squinted towards the horizon.
The group had recently returned from a raid to Rukongai for food. They didn't want to risk ingesting hollow flesh.
"Dunno, first thing besides trees I've seen since coming here though," Kisame shrugged.
Suddenly, all of them felt two bursts of familiar reiatsu.
"That's Konan!" Nagato said.
"And...Aizen?! What the hell is he doing here?!" Sasori flinched back.
All five of them nodded to each other and began sprinting towards the small white dot on the horizon.
TIME-SKIP: THREE DAYS
"When...the fuck...are we...going...to get...there?!" Hidan panted for the umpteenth time since they started running.
"No...clue...," Kisame huffed back.
"That's one...huge...building...if it's only...the size of...a normal building...and we're...still not...near it," Sasori stated.
After another several hours of running, they finally stopped at the entrance.
"Holy...shit," Hidan panted, hands on his knees, as he stared at the fortress.
