Kakashi was right, like he usually was. Akatsuki came on stage, earning a flood of cheers and applause from the crowd. Lead vocalist Hidan, wearing black jeans and black sneakers and no shirt so you could see his many tattoos, grabbed the mic and tested it by screaming 'Are You Ready!?' and maintaining it for twenty seconds, earning an even bigger wave of cheers.

Hidan's scream had given lead guitarist Uchiha Itachi, wearing a black tank top and black pants with a chain attached to its left side and a pair of black and white sneakers, bass guitarist Deidara, who had put on a black suit with a white skull-printed tie and dark grey sneakers, keyboardist Kakuzu in his black coat and black pants with white shoes and drummer Hoshigaki Kisame, wearing a dark blue t-shirt with a black vest and regular jeans, time to get ready. And so, Akatsuki started their most famous song: Stricken.

You walk on like a woman in suffering
Won't even bother now, to tell me why
You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken, another time
You come on like a blood stained hurricane
Leave me alone let me be this time
You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption
I don't want to mention, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope in me
Know that I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss, will I run

You don't know what your power has done to me
I want to know if i'll heal inside
I can't go on, with the holocaust about to happen
Seeing you laughing, another time
You'll never know why your face has haunted me
My very soul has to bleed this time
Another hole in the wall of my inner defenses
Leaving me breathless, the reason i know

That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope in me
Know that I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run

Into the abyss will I run

You walk on like a woman in suffering
Won't even bother now, to tell me why
You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken, another time
You come on like a blood stained hurricane
Leave me alone let me be this time
You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption
I don't want to mention, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope in me
Know that I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run

Into the abyss will I run

I can't let you go
Yes, I am stricken and can't let you go

The guys had been singing along with Hidan the whole time, as well as the crowd. Speaking of which, the crowd suddenly started whistling and the stage revealed the reason. Akatsuki's second lead vocalist Konan had entered the stage and was showing off her body, that most guys would describe as perfect. She wore a long slick black satin dress and black pumps, dark make-up surrounding her tempting eyes. She had dyed her originally blue hair black too. She took the mic from her stand and greeted the crowd. Sasuke already knew which song was coming by now, so he had an amused look in his eyes and a small smirk on his face when his thoughts were confirmed by Hidan and Itachi switching places. Itachi smirked at his little brother and his friends and Konan winked to the boys before telling the crowd the obvious.

"This one is called 'What Have You Done, now hit it people!"

What have you done now

I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy
on you now
I
know I should stop believing
I know that there's no retrieving
It's over now

What have you done

What have you done now

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you

What have you done
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done now
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done now

Would you mind if I killed you
Would you mind if I tried to
Cause you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I feel
It's over now
What have you done

What have you done now

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you

What have you done
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done now
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done now

I will not fall
Won't let it go
We will be free
When it ends

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you

I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you


Everybody yelled and jumped and Itachi smirked. He was planning something, Sasuke could see it in his eyes. It was the fact he couldn't read what his brother was planning that bothered the younger Uchiha. During the next song, 'I Stand Alone', on which Itachi was back at the guitar, Sasuke tried to read his brother, but in vain; he was just too good at hiding what he was planning. Sasuke gave up on it and fell in sync with Hidan's lyrics for their song 'Eye Of The Storm'.

The next song came as a surprise to the boys as well as to the fans. Hidan grabbed the mic and a guitar and tested it.

"Alright people, we're gonna try something now. I'm not sure..." He sighed. "You know what? Forget it. This next song is called 'One Step Closer' by Strike Point Zero."

I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again…

Just like before...

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to...

Break!

Shut up when i'm talking to you!
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up when i'm talking to you!
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
I'm about to break!

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to...

Break!
