All five of us arrived at the village in two days. Deidara had created birds using clay, I was truly impressed by his skill. With them we made great time.

"I sense the nine-tailed brat," Itachi said.

"Deidara, Sasori fly above to try to find Jiraiya. Itachi, Kisame you can go get the nine-tailed brat, but if any of you find Jiraiya contact me. Now go," I told them.

I watched the guys leave. I started to walk into the village when some kid with jet black hair knocked me over as he ran past. I looked up from the ground, he didn't even stop.

"Hey!" I yelled after him.

I stood up dusting myself off, men whistled at me as I walked through the village some even came up to me asking for my name and hitting on me. I wasn't interested in weak men like them.

'Itachi sent a woman off with Jiraiya,' Deidara told me telepathically.

'Yurie, we've cornered the nine-tailed brat,' Itachi told me telepathically shortly after.

I went to the hotel that I sensed Itachi from. The black haired kid that knocked me over at the main gate was also entering the hotel. I happen to follow the kid to the same floor Itachi was on. Staying out of sight, I listened to what was being said.

"It's been a long time," Itachi said "Sasuke."

"Itachi Uchiha," the kid growled.

"Itachi Uchiha?" another kid's voice shook.

"Well, the sharingan," I heard Kisame say "And he looks an awful lot like you. Itachi, who is this kid?"

"He's my younger brother," Itachi coldly stated.

'Younger brother,' I thought in disbelief.

"That's strange, 'cause the way I heard it the whole Uchiha clan was wiped out," Kisame said "By you."

"Itachi Uchiha," Sasuke spoke now "I hope you're ready to die. It's just as you said brother, I've fostered my hatred for you all this time I've lived my life for one single purpose."

The kid created a chidori in his left hand. It surprised me that he could create something so powerful at such a young age. Though, he is an Uchiha.

"To see you die!" Sasuke shouted "It ends here!"

"Sasuke," the unknown kid's voice said.

"Chidori," Itachi sounded impressed.

"Enough, you're dead!" Sasuke shouted before charging down the hall "Die!"

I then heard a loud bang and a small yelp from Sasuke. There was no way he could defeat Itachi with an attack like that.

"Ah, the air is ripe with chakra," Kisame said "This must be it, the power of the nine tails."

"Enough," Itachi said coldly.

I heard a snap and then heard Sasuke scream in pain. I winced, bones had snapped and I knew that pain well. I debated on stepping in to help then decided to wait to see where this confrontation was going to lead.

"Sasuke," the unknown voice shouted worried "All right that's it."

"Too slow," Kisame shouted.

"Come on, come on, what the heck is going on?"

"Sorry kid, my blade shark skin cuts through chakra and devours it," Kisame explained "We don't need the hassle of this kid whipping out any more jutsu. Forget the legs, maybe I 'out to start of with those arms of his. You're wasting your time. What the...?"

"You two don't know me at all, do ya?" a new voice asked "Should have done your homework. Jiraiya the toad sage falls victim to no woman's charm, rare beauties drop for me like blossoms in a storm. It isn't in my nature to be duped by the whiles of women. When you reach the stature I have, the ladies kneel and worship at your awesomeness."

I just rolled my eyes, at his long and lengthily speech. He's so full of himself. At least he told me how I can get close to him.

"Ah, don't give me that!" the kid shouted "One wink from a pretty girl and you turn into a mountain of mush! You fell for it like a ton of bricks pervy sage!"

I chuckled. The kid needed to be taught respect. Jiraiya was going to be the easiest target ever.

"I wish you really wouldn't call me that in front of other people," Jiraiya asked.

"Are you kidding me?" the kid sounded annoyed "We've got worse things to worry about then what these guys think of you! Get with it pervy sage!"

"Didn't I just ask you not to call me that?" Jiraiya yelled.

I tried to hold back a laugh when I heard Kisame start to laugh. Things were starting to get very interesting.

"Whatever name you go by master Jiraiya, I must say you're something of a disappointment. A lecherous old man with a disposition of a child, it's almost impossible to believe that you're one of the three legendary sanin."

"WHAT!" the kid shouted "Y-you already know who he is?"

"Uh, don't be fooled by appearances or, you know, anything this little squirt might say," the man replied nervously.

"So, you somehow managed to release the genjutsu that we cast on her?" Kisame asked; he seemed to be the only one talking.

"What kind of coward would do something like that? Using his sharingan to inflict an illusion jutsu on an innocent woman? All in order to separate Naruto from me?" Jiraiya asked "I know that he's the one you're really after."

'So the other kid's name is Naruto,' I thought knowing that now was definitely not the time to step in 'I now see why Pein asked me to kill Jiraiya.'

"That explained how Kakashi knew," Itachi thought out loud "Now I understand, he learned it from you. You are right, Naruto is the prize that the Akatsuki are after, and we will have him."

"No way you're getting Naruto," Jiraiya said.

"We'll see about that," Itachi told him.

"Actually, this is all very convenient, I can eliminate you both at the same time," Jiraiya sounded cocky to me.

"Stay out of this," Sasuke finally spoke "The only one who's going to eliminate him is me!"

"Go away, you don't interest me at the moment," Itachi said.

"Well get interested," Sasuke shouted.

All of a sudden Sasuke hit the wall I was facing. To be rejected by a brother, Itachi really knew how to be cruel.

"Sasuke no," Naruto yelled "Why you lousy."

"No Naruto!" Sasuke shouted "Don't butt in, mind your own business! I told you before; I've lived my whole life for this day, this moment, this fight is mine!"

Sasuke charged again down the hall and came flying back to hit the wall yet again. He didn't seem to understand that he was no match for Itachi.

"Sasuke," Naruto said in disbelief.

"Not finished," Sasuke tried to get up "This fight is mine."

"So be it," Itachi said coldly.

"You heard him old man, this fight is none of our business," Kisame warned.

I decided to step in before this Sasuke kid got killed. Itachi stopped in his tracks once he saw me. I couldn't stand seeing kids get hurt…any further then this kid was.

"Back off," I hissed.

"Kisame let's go," Itachi said.

Itachi grabbed me by the waist pulling me out of the hotel with Kisame close behind. Playing damsel in distress might work in my favor.

"Let me go!" I demanded.

Jiraiya came to my aid as the guys left. He held me tight in his arms, protectively I thought. But when he started to caress my butt, I pulled away screaming smacking his face. When I calmed down, I went over to Sasuke. Kneeling down beside him I wiped some hair out of his face and cleaned up the blood, the blond kid Itachi was after came up on the other side of Sasuke.

"Do you know who this is?" I asked pretending I didn't know and avoiding all eyes trying to read Sasuke's memories.

"His name's Sasuke Uchiha," the blond responded "My name's Naruto Uzumaki and the perverted old man is Jiraiya."

"My name is Tomoyo, nice to meet you," I half lied turning to him.

"Why was the Akatsuki after you?" Jiraiya asked coming up behind me.

All of a sudden something flashed past my eyes and Jiraiya hit the wall. A tall green figure stood there. I never thought I'd see the day when someone wore a body suit.

"I'm sorry master Jiraiya," the man dressed in green said "I thought you were an enemy."

Jiraiya returned unimpressed, he picked up Sasuke and handed him over to the one in green "Itachi was after both Naruto and the girl," Jiraiya explained "Might Guy I need you to take Sasuke back to Konoha village. I'm going to stay with these two and figure out why the Akatsuki was after the girl."

The green dressed man, named Might Guy, nodded, took Sasuke and left. I scratched my head, I don't remember seeing him while I was at Konoha. Not to mention any of these other ninja. For the time being I didn't care, things were just falling into place for me.
