Chapter 7: Bombs away!: The secret of an Uchiha

At Orochimaru's base Naruto's team are beat up and tired out from the battle against the unnamed member but the battle is far from over at this point. The unnamed member had been using time manipulation jutsu's against them and they haven't been able to solve how to get through her abilities.

"Naruto…h-how will we beat her? She's so powerful." Hinata was coughing and seemed to even struggle uttering those few words to Naruto.

"I don't know if we can Hinata…all we can do is hope for survival right now." Naruto laid on the ground uttering what few words he could with his strength.

"Naruto! don't talk like that, if we try harder w can and we will win!" Lee started to come to his feet and tried to rally Naruto and his team behind him trying to light a beacon of hope inside of them.

"You may have some pretty impressive abilities and you may be stronger than all of us but our burning fire inside will never die and you can never kill that!" Lee then stared down the unnamed member and then Naruto, Hinata, Sakura and Kiba came to their feet.

Lee began to lead the team on a full on assault against the unnamed member and they all attacked her at once with their attacks.

"first gate open!…second gate open!…Third gate open!…Fourth gate open…Fifth gate open!" Lee had opened the five gates and was now at his maximum power and at his limit.

"Clone ramming suicide attack!" Naruto formed to many clones to count and they all charged straight ahead at the unnamed member sending a barrage of taijutsu techniques at her.

"Garouga!" Kiba and Akamaru used their double fang attack against the unnamed member trying to penetrate her defences.

"Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand!" Hinata activated her clans jutsu to stop the unnamed members flow of chakra.

"Strong arm technique!" Sakura gathered her chakra in her hand and then released it at the unnamed member with a direct hit.

The unnamed member tried to dodge all of the attacks and it seemed she had been defending herself against almost all of Naruto's clones for a while but then Hinata got a direct hit on the unnamed members shoulder and stopped her chakra flow to her left arm. Then when Sakura used her strong arm technique she hit the ground and the unnamed member went flying into the air and in mid air lee caught the unnamed member.

"Strong thunder lotus chain!" Lee used his most powerful technique against the unnamed member plummeting her into the ground head first.

Once she hit the ground Kiba and Akamaru didn't waste any time attacking the unnamed member. They used their Garouga straight into the ground onto the unnamed member. "Well it was a nice try…but all of you never even bothered to try and realize you were under one of my dimension placement jutsu's." The unnamed member began to explain to everyone what exactly she was talking about.

"Right after your team-mate Rock Lee activated the fifth gate I performed a hand seal in my cloak that transferred you five to a dimension that I control and I can make you three see anything I want. So the real me was still in Orochimaru's base controlling the visual clone of me in the dimension I created while you five were using your strongest techniques. I kind of pity you though because through the whole fight none of your strategies would work and none of your strongest techniques would even scratch me. But now its time to end this." The unnamed member had tricked Naruto's team again and crushed their hopes again.

"Wait!…that's enough, you'll ruin our plans if you take on more step!" The leader had entered the base now to stop the unnamed member.

"You can't kill them right now…especially not the blond headed boy…he's Itachi's jinchuuriki and we need to extract him instead of killing him." The leader warned the unnamed member just in time so that they could continue their plans of world domination.

"I'm sorry sir leader, please forgive me it will never happen again." The unnamed member's attitude had sharply changed when the leader had arrived.

If she's not even the leader of Akatsuki and she's that strong, how strong will this guy be…will his powers have a limit? Naruto thought to himself that it might be impossible to fight the Akatsuki at this point.

"We're leaving so don't even think about following us or you will die at my hands…let's go!" The leader sounded pretty upset at the unnamed member for some reason.

As the leader and unnamed member headed off for the base he began to ask her some question as to what happened.

"Did you tell them anything about us?" The leader was curious that maybe their identities may have been revealed.

"No sir leader, I kept out identities a secret so they don't know anything right now." The unnamed member "Did you mention him?" The leader asked the unnamed member.

"Sir leader please forgive, I didn't intend on mentioning that swine in our battle." The unnamed member then seemed a bit worried.

Dammit, if they know of his existence this could ruin everything, and if he knows where that jinchuuriki is he will seek him out without a doubt… this is not good. The leader thought to himself not answering the unnamed member.

In Orochimaru's base Naruto's team was to tired out to move back to Konoha let alone even get up. Naruto and everyone else was so worn out from their battle and hurt from their injuries they had sustained.

"Is everyone okay? Can you stand up?" Sakura asked everyone if they were able to at least stand on their feet.

"I don't think we have the strength to get back to Konoha…we have to find a way to get some help." Naruto was to tired from his fight and everyone else also used up to much chakra to continue on, they had to find another way to get out of there.

"Maybe Akamaru can get help from Konoha, I have one last soldier pill left and it will get him there even faster and will give him the strength he needs." Kiba had the idea of giving Akamaru the pill so he can get some help from Konoha so that they could bring them back,.

Akamaru then took the soldier pill and took headed off to Konoha. Akamaru…please be careful, and bring back some help.

Back at the Akatsuki base the unnamed member and the leader finally returned with Zetsu, Deidara and Tobi waiting for them.

"Everyone, lately we have been very unorganized and have been having a lot of trouble with ourselves due to the lack of members now. I myself can't go out as much and Kisame and Itachi are out searching for Uchiha Sasuke and his team, so that leaves us with Zetsu, and Deidara and Tobi but this will not due. This may seem to be a bit sudden but right now we need to recruit two new members to regain our ground and gain more power in this organization…and I have two perfect candidates. Tobi and Deidara I need you two to go to the wind country and bring back our first target, he was last seen there a day ago so you will have to do some searching. For now that's all, after we bring back our new recruit we will get his new partner and have a new Akatsuki team." The leader struck everybody by surprise with the announcement of the need to find a new member as soon as possible.

"Alright let's do this Tobi, let's get back here as soon as possible…I don't want to spend a lot of time over there." Deidara said to Tobi.

"Yes Deidara, I will do my best!" Tobi was very anxious to get on to the next mission and find out who their next target is.

Back in Konoha in Tsunade's office her and Shizune had to make a decision fats about when to make sure Naruto and his team are safe and when they should bring in a rescue squad.

"Shizune, when did team Naruto head out on their mission?" Tsunade was getting a time check to base her decision on.

"Tsunade it's been one full day now and they haven't returned nor given a reply…should we send in a rescue squad?" Shizune sounded very concerned about how Naruto's team still hasn't returned yet.

"Yes it seems as though we are obligated to send in someone to go help…we wont need an entire squad because I believe the two people I am thinking of can handle themselves" Tsunade sounded like she had a great idea in her head.

"Please bring in Kakashi and Gai…I think those two will get of those five back in no time." Tsunade ordered Shizune to bring them into her office.

"You called for us lord Hokage?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes, I asked for you and Gai here for a very important mission." Tsunade assembled Gai and Kakashi together to complete the mission. "I need the two of you to go and retrieve team Naruto from their mission…it's been a full day and we haven't received any word from them and they haven't returned, so I need you two to bring them back here and make sure they're alright."

"Lee! Please hang on I'm on my way!" Gai shouted at the top of his lungs and then right when he was about to run out the door to go get Lee and the rest of the team Kakashi help Gai back. "Hold on there, we don't even know where their mission was assigned to so don't be rushing out so soon Gai." Kakashi managed to cool Gai down for a few moments.

"Their mission was assigned to find clues on the Akatsuki and according to my sources their tracks were spotted heading towards the hidden village of sound." Tsunade then gave them where they are.

"Lord Hokage we will do our best!" Kakashi and Gai then started to head off to the village of sound to get team Naruto back but little did they know they were in for more trouble than they thought.

"Alright Tobi once we cut through the village of the sound we will be right outside the wind country and a step closer to getting a new member." Deidara and Tobi were right outside the sound village cutting through it to get to the wind country.

After hours of running through the forests Gai and Kakashi had finally arrived In he village of sound.

"Tobi looks like we have some company down there." Deidara looked down and could see Gai and Kakashi who had just entered the village of sound.

"Tobi I'll continue to the wind country but how about you have some fun and take care of those two." Deidara seemed as though Tobi could handle them easily.

"Yes Deidara sempai…I will get rid of them before you come back!" Tobi then hopped down from Deidara's bird and then met up face to face with Kakashi and Gai.

"Who are you? that's quite the mask you have there." Gai was surprised to see someone with a mask like that, and right when he looked him up and down he then realized he has met up with an Akatsuki member.

"Gai be careful he's an Akatsuki member so don't underestimate him." Kakashi warned Gai and then Kakashi activated his Sharingan.

"Good luck Kakashi san." Tobi said

"How do you know my name…who are you?!" Kakashi seemed frustrated and also maybe even a bit worried.

"Well it seems I found him…time to take him back to the boss." Deidara had spotted the recruit and swooped in to get him.

Who exactly is Tobi and how does he know Kakashi his identity is revealed in the next chapter, also who is the new recruit that Deidara found and who will his partner be? And is Madara still wandering in this world? Next chapter: An explosive encounter: Revival of an Uchiha
