Akatsuki Allies

Ch5

Summary: this is what happens when the Akatsuki survive and they become awesome-er.

"We need to go after Tobi now," Tsunade said.

Sasuke and Itachi had just returned hours ago from killing Kabuto and ending the edo tensei. Most of the Zetsu clones were gone and Zetsu was resting at Home. Two of Kakuzu's hearts were dead so the rest returned and Kakuzu was with them. The rest of Team Taka were gone with Sasuke, who'd over used his mangekyo.

Pein nodded. "My Akatsuki can work well together as a unit," he said. "We'll need that against Tobi."

"I don't trust Akatsuki by themselves," Mei said casually, speaking her mind but not creating an argument.

"Kakashi, Gai, and Naruto will join them," Tsunade said.

"Same with Bee," Raikage added.

"I and my siblings will go," Gaara said. "I will leave Baki in charge of my Division and Suna until I return."

"We'll need a medic other than myself and Sasori; Kakuzu can only do lacerations," Konan said.

"Sakura and Hinata, with Neji to protect them," Tsunade replied.

"Agreed," the others said.
