Chapter 10: Emiko's Old & New Genjutsu

Deidara, Tobi, and Emiko had arrived at the house of Jirocho Wasabi. Before they went inside, they ensured that Emiko was still up to the mission and when she nodded, they entered.

There were some guards, but not a whole lot. Deidara and Tobi nodded at Emiko and she entered the hallway to look for the scroll. Tobi glanced at Deidara.

"Deidara-senpai, was it a good idea to let Emiko-chan look for the scroll all by herself? I know her genjutsu's good, but it is her first mission with this memory set."

"She'll be fine, un. If something happens, she just gives the signal and we'll burst in, un."

Emiko encountered no one when she got to Jirocho's room. Mostly empty, but she walked towards a drawer and when she opened it, she was greeting by a variety of scrolls. The one with the lock around it proved to be the Scroll of Moonlight. Just as she was about to head out, someone entered the room. "What makes you think that you can just take the scroll eh, Akatsuki?"

Emiko whipped around and saw the man, Jirocho. She glanced at him; he did not look like a ninja at all, but she could not afford to underestimate him or waste her chakra. I have to use this technique. Emiko's pointing fingers went to her temples and her eyes locked onto Jirocho's. "Secret Art: Pleasure-Pain Illusion." Both of their eyes went big and Jirocho entered the genjutsu world.

The Leaf Ninja finally arrived at Jirocho's house only to be created by a shower of clay birds. Naruto cursed, "Damn, they beat us here. We have to fight." He started making shadow clones, Sai pulled his sword out, and Sakura put on her gloves."

Tobi jumped down onto the ground. "Sorry, but we have to occupy you until Emiko-chan finishes her mission."

Deidara swooped down on the ninja but he became less focused on flying when the following words were spoken. "Do you even know who Emiko is because we do."

Tobi and Deidara stopped fighting and looked at Yamato who had spoken. "Her real name is Princess Kimiko Fushigi. She is part of the Blood Village's royal family. She is an S ranked missing nin because she destroyed the whole village in cold blood. How long do you think it will be before she turns on the Akatsuki like she turned on her family?"

Tobi looked at Deidara. "So, Kimiko is the evil Emiko I guess. Well, as long as she keeps her seal on, she would never hurt anyone of us. Especially Tobi because he's a good boy!"

Deidara rolled his eyes. "Kimiko, Emiko. It doesn't matter, un. Either way, she is our teammate and friend and we trust her, un." With that, Deidara launched more clay birds at the Leaf shinobi.

Jirocho had fallen unconscious and although Emiko had the scroll, she felt faint. That took a bit of chakra, but I guess that is predictable after you modify and strengthen a genjutsu. She opened the door to see a fight scene erupting around her. When Naruto saw her, he charged immediately. Tobi and Deidara were too occupied to defend her. As Naruto got close, she put her pointing fingers on Naruto's temples. He froze in place and she muttered the words, "Secret Art: Pain-Pleasure Illusion." With that, Naruto's eyes diluted. Although the genjutsu lasted only for a second in real life, soon Naruto crumpled on the ground in response to the genjutsu. Yamato looked at her with wonder at what sort of genjutsu could be that devastating.

Emiko smiled and turned towards her fellow members. "I have the scroll guys. Let us take our leave." Deidara nodded and they jumped on his giant clay bird back to base.

Sakura ran to Naruto and examined him with her chakra. "His body is in shock. That was a powerful mental attack that she launched at him. I cannot calm his body down; it's too unstable, his mind is. We need to rush him to Tsunade."

Sai nodded, "We need to check on Jirocho." The other ninja nodded and headed towards the house. Yamato was carrying Naruto and when they arrived at the scene, they saw a very distraught looking man. Jirocho was shaking horribly and when the ninja entered the room, he backed into the corner, eyes full of fear. Sakura tried to walk closer to him, but he squeaked and tried to go further back into the corner although he was unable to.

"Sakura, we need to get Tsunade to come. Emiko used some vastly powerful genjutsu on Nrauto and Jirocho that none of us can dispel. Summon a slug to reach her."

Sakura nodded and started making the hand signs.

Hidan was restless. How fucking long was this mission supposed to take? Just grab a stupid scroll and come back. That should be easy, but I guess Emiko is new… Emiko… Damn it I miss you… Hidan walked into the room that Aina was in and was shocked at what he witnessed. The delicate orchid that Zetsu had bought for Emiko as a gift was covered in something that looked like blood. He rushed forward with a cloth and began cleaning it.

"How did you get so close to Aina? Without its barrier repelling you?" Zetsu asked as he emerged from the ground.

Hidan shrugged. "Damned if I know. What matters is to clean this up before Emiko-chan comes home. I don't want her to think we neglected anything of hers."

Zetsu nodded, but was unable to approach the plant. "Interesting. The plant is only letting you of all the members to get close to it. I wonder if that is how Emiko feels like… Or is it because you have feelings for Emiko?"

At this, Hidan glared at Zetsu, but said nothing. Damn. This blood stuff is weird. Chakra is coming from it, but it feels… evil… Does this mean that Emiko is evil or that she bleeding herself of all evilness?
