The town of Magnolia was spectacle rarely seen; it held a certain charm to it that people flocked around. The landscape was dotted with huge mansions and large guild buildings. Naturally, these places were not where Ryou lived. Where she did live though, was her own lively little apartment. This apartment was yellow in colour, and only had four or so rooms; there was even a balcony, hanging overhead the footpath beneath.

It wasn't rare, that people walking past would take sneak peeks at the balcony. Right now, there was a scantily dressed red head drying her hair with a towel. Now normally, people would simply blush and walk right past. However, Ryou was an exception. Why? Because she had beauty easily surpassing that of the current Miss Fiore. Naturally, she had no idea about this; because it was most likely, that the counterpart Uchiha didn't even give a shit.

'People are staring at you again… It's making me feel uncomfortable.' Tayuya exclaimed, her thoughts echoed by the other spirits in the red heads consciousness.

Ryou sighed, "Does it look like I care in the slightest?" she muttered under her breath, "It's used to this, you should know."

Of course, they knew, but it didn't mean that they were used to it. It had been a year and a half, since new Fairy Tail got its first SS-class job. The guild was regaining its previous reputation, with rumours of its new super team spreading across the continent. Even with this reputation, the guild chose not to participate in the Grand Magic Games. None of the original members really knew how powerful their newest members were. Shisui and Itachi had only just finished mastering the Preta path of their respective Rinnegan. Sasuke, under the guidance of Ryou was studying wood release. Ryou spent most of her time, researching all the vegetation and animals; ancient bloodlines, chakra mixes and magic mutations.

Ryou looked back behind her, walking over to one of the other rooms. She picked up a bucket, before walking into her own personal greenhouse. She carefully started watering various different plants, some of which had never been discovered, or were otherwise presumed extinct. She licked her finger before pointing it into the air, "Wind speed, with 0.03 kilometres/hour. Humidity, average. Temperature, room temperature."

'Very good, it seems you're now used to my body.' Orochimaru stated, clearly proud.

There was a sound of appreciation coming from Rasa, 'Though, none of you have exactly told us what these plants are for. Not counting the DNA that you have been extracting from fossils.' He complained, right afterwards with a change of expression.

*Shhhhh*

Ryou held a finger to her lips, slowly pushing it down, deep in thought, "You're disturbing my train of thought. I'm simply developing a plant to passively harvest magic for me. The Venus flytrap over there is unique. It creates a specific enzyme that allows it to attract rather intelligent prey. Many of the chemical reactions inside of it mimic that of the average mages body. The sunflowers over there with the purplish hue, they are also very unique."

'What do they do?' the third Kazekage inquired, his interest in the subject already at the maximum; after all, what else could he do but observe his host body.

Ryou paused for a few second, as if trying to collect a few other memories, "These sunflowers don't absorb sunlight. They absorb magic particles, specifically… something incredibly close to magic. After genetically engineering them, and merging them… I think I got them to absorb pure and natural magic energy." The red head smirked at her own genius, "It is identical to those in the guild, I checked with my Sharingan. The next problem, was harvesting this energy. At first, I thought I could simply harvest the seeds, but that obviously did not work. Therefore, I gathered something similar to an apricot tree. Not only is it easy to grow, but the fruits allow for easy and simple harvesting."

'So why aren't you done yet…' Tayuya asked stupidly, ignoring the moans of annoyance from the other spirits, 'It's obvious? It's obvious isn't it…?'

"It isn't exactly easy to merge things from different families is it?" Ryou responded, rolling her eyes, "Also, I have to wait for these plants to mature before collecting fresh materials."

Ryou went over to wash her hands in the sink. Carefully, she cupped her hands and splashed water onto her face; only to stare into her own reflection. She noticed the single black coloured lock in her hair, before she beamed at her own reflection.

"I must say, I was expecting your appearance to look bad on me… but after a while, I realise how much better it has made me." The red head stated, but with no response, she smirked, "Still not talking to me after all this time. Soon you will realise, the reality of the chance I have given you."

All she got was a low sounding grunt. The red head then waltzed out of the room, diving over her couch and missing it entirely; instead, she met head first with the floor. She ignored the annoying laughs of Tayuya, and the disappointed sounds that Orochimaru made. It didn't help, that the two Kazekage made absolutely no reaction.

"Fuck it… we're going to Fairy Tail. I have nothing else to do, plus the bloodline samples in the basement just aren't ready yet." The red head pondered, before rushing out her front door.

"This isn't any better!" Ryou yelled out, causing a few cursive glances at her from the other mages, "I'm so bored… no missions, not even small ones!"

Sasuke swung his body around, glaring at his counterpart, "Please don't rub it into our faces…"

Shisui and Itachi sat quietly in the corner, both playing an unending game of chess. It didn't help that they were both genius's. Romeo was practicing sword fighting with a wooden sword, looking to any of the Uchiha for any approval in general. Laki was in the background mumbling about perverts and chopping hair. Kinana was serving beer to Warren and Nab. Vijeeter was happily dancing away stupidly. Reedus was sitting in the back corner, drawing anything that he wanted to. Max and Wakaba were playing cards with one another, on one of the nearby tables.

Ryou went over to Kinana, holding up a hand for a drink. The barmaid simply nodded, and got something for the red head to drink.

"We don't talk much do we?" the barmaid asked with a weary smile, "I guess you don't spend much time in the guild anyways."

Ryou paused in the middle of her drink, "I always see you in a different light when I see you." She simply added in response, a slight grin on her face, "I wonder what type of snake you were back then…"

Kinana looked at her in shock, backing away slightly before seeing the calming smile of her fellow guild member. Ryou gave a nod of approval, with Kinana wondering how the red head knew of her transformation.

"This smarts…" Shisui growled, "checkmate…"

"I'm seriously bored. I need something to do!" Itachi yelled out in frustration, "I can't play anymore chess No more chess please!"

*Thud*

"Then let me give you something to do…"

The entire guild looked over to the doorway, only to see twenty standing figures cloaked in black. The middle figure had multiple magic formations surrounding his figure; he was the only one with his face visible. Everyone in the guild slowly stood to his or her feet, with the exception of the four Uchiha.

"Pinwheel! You're going to regret what you did to my brother!"

Sasuke's ears twitched before, he motioned for the other three living Uchiha to follow him. The four of them went over to confront the strangers, "The fact that you refer to me as pinwheel… is very surprising." The avenger simply stated.

Another one of the intruders, standing off by the leader's side shifted his hands slightly, "Who are these three? I thought that there was only one… from the other land." He whispered to the intermediary.

Ryou catching note of everything that they said, shrugged her shoulders before cracking her knuckles, "Don't you know who we are?"

"Frankly I don't care if you wield Chakra, as long as you don't have the pinwheel… you are no threat." Another one of the intruders said.

Romeo rushed forward only to be held back by Macao's hand. The guild master shook his head at his son.

Shisui laughed aloud, going down to one knee, "Do your research. From what I understand… we're all pinwheels." The teleporter's expression changed to one of malicious intent, "So I'm going to ask this time. Don't you know who we are?"

With the single activation of his Sharingan, more than three quarters of the enemy squad fell to the floor in agonizing screams. Shisui smirked before appearing right in front of the leader of the group. Almost in an instant, the leader activated a magic shield, easily blocking Shisui's blade. In a blur of movements, the leader made a quick series of hand seals before firing off a fireball jutsu.

Shisui easily used a water dragon to block the incoming attack, his face in utter shock either way, "Magic and Chakra… so that's the deal. Must be what my Sharingan just detected…" his face darkened, just as his muscles tensed and he finally got serious. His red eyes darted around, analysing the surrounding enemies beginning to get up from the genjutsu attack.

"You believe it will be so easy to take us down? We are the Raiders of Adetokunbo! We are all that is of the elite quadrant, and we will eliminate you all today! All the members here instantly adapted, from a young age to go against Genjutsu… that is our ability." The leader of the group gave cursed glances to all his other allies, "Five for each pinwheel, I'll take this idiotic looking one here. You four, with me!" he pointed at four of his allies to his right, nodding over to Shisui in front of him.

"Well then…" Itachi began, a wide grin on his face, "We won't be getting bored anymore. New Akatsuki… begin."

In a massive blur of motion, the walls around the guild smashed to pieces within the second. The mages in Fairy Tail, unable to keep up with any of the movements shown by friend or foe.

Itachi landed neatly on the rooftops of several buildings, he calmly looked up to the five panting magi ninja's in front of him. He slowly parted one of his locks of hair to his ears, the Sharingan very much active.

"I'm not allowed to kill. But I will not hold back on maiming you…" he simply stated, carefully studying his opponents state and posture.

"And we will have our freedom, in the name of our all father!" the one who yelled out suddenly charged at him with a single kunai at hand.

Itachi dodged a fireball launched at him by diving below it; he blitzed a couple of hand signs before disappearing in a storm of crows. The enemy looked around them in confusion, before spotting the Ninja falling from above them; a look of horror when noticing black fire circling around them.

"Amaterasu…"

Strangely, the black flame did not approach them. Instead only having Itachi land in front of them. He steadied himself before making the hand motions for hand-to-hand combat. The magi ninja hesitated for a moment, before blindly rushing in to tackle the ninja.

Itachi dodged and weaved through the fluidic movements of his opponents strikes, before landing some precise strikes to their undersides. In the wave of his arm, a curved wave of shuriken and kunai fell upon the unsuspecting magi. The five stood their ground before using one of their own as a meat shield. The man yelled in pain as he fell to the ground, bleeding all over the ground. Itachi looked down in disgust at the actions of these men. The Uchiha regained his composure, when he noticed a barrage of lightning heading towards him. With a flick of his wrist, he allowed any remaining kunai to absorb the effects in midair before awakening his Rinnegan.

"Your actions have disgusted me. You are not worth keeping alive. Moreover, you will now know my third and last only Rinnegan technique, unique to me only." As Itachi slowly pronounced his words, the flames around them died out; with the Rinnegan in his eyes generating three Tomoe, "Demon of the Three Paths: Transcendance"

In a firework of power and energy, the area around Itachi flared an orange tinge; the screams of the magi ending shortly after.

The avenger streaked past the first magi in front of him, blood pouring from the wound inflicted by him. In a flurry of blades mixed with lightning, another three were cut down. Leaving only one magus left to face the Uchiha.

"I recommend you surrender at this point… if you elite are so weak, I don't really wish to bother with the rest of your organization." The avenger blatantly spoke, his face now wearing a blank expression.

The magus in front of him panted, before dropping to the ground in a heap, "No… fuck you! Fuck you!" the man yelled until he was breathless, a look of hatred finally enveloping his face, "Don't you mock us! How dare you mock us!"

The magus's body began to transform, it would seem he was proficient with transformation magic. His body morphed into that of a large man like tiger. Curse markings appeared across his body, furthering the process and power.

The avenger sighed before drawing out his blade in a neat like manner, not allowing it to even make a single sound, "You leave me no choice."

The magus charged at him at incredible speeds, causing a sonic boom as soon as he started moving. Sasuke's eyes widened, before roundhouse kicking the incoming figure at the head. Within seconds of impact, two fists flew into his stomach before he was sent flying meters away. He felt the blood leaking from his wounds, before looking back at his enemy's sharp claws.

"Get back here!" the magus yelled, bouncing from building to building before leaping up into the air. Like a small meteor, the magus fell to the ground, causing a miniature shockwave of rubble to push the avenger back several feet.

Sasuke simply stood his ground, not attempting to harm or fight his opponent, instead just simply observing him. The magus then proceeded to make hand signs for a clone jutsu, revealing itself the Haze Clone Technique.

Sasuke shook his head, "I thought you trained your whole life to defeat a pin wheel like me. Don't you know… I can see you already."

The avenger lifted his arms before pulling it down to the ground. There was a twang sound, before the wires he was holding, were visible. Like a camouflaged insect getting pulled from its habitat, the body of the magus peeled away from the wall like a piece of paper.

"Damn it… the leader will finish you! The leader will finish you all! Damn you, damn you all to he-"

*Smash*

The foot of Sasuke stomped onto the face of the magus, the sounds of bones breaking could be heard. The avenger stepped away from the near lifeless figure before walking off, back to the guild. A look of disappointment evident.

"It looks like; it's time to see what the rest have been up to…"

I'm sorry about the quality of this chapter, I will definitely make up for the lack of fighting with the next one. I just have so much going one, that it's a bit difficult to keep up with everything. As always, thank you very much for reading!
