Hey guys. Before we get started, I wanted to apologize for not getting this out sooner. Life hasn't given me a break in a while and when it has it was over in the blink of an eye. Thanks for waiting and here ya go. Hope you enjoy.

As the rain continued to rain down on the pair, Konan took this time to assess the situation. Standing before her was someone who had invaded her home with an army of just himself, managed to incapacitate an S rank criminal with one attack, seemed to be able to go in and out of a golden aura almost at will, deduced that Pein was Nagato, seemed to know Jiraiya personally, and now revealed that he knew about someone who had kept his identity hidden from the world for decades. She knew she had to tread carefully now.

"What did you say?"

"Madara...Where. Is. He?..." Arashi asked again stopping to put emphasis on each word.

" Madara Uchiha died a long time ago. I don't understand what you mean."

Arashi let out a little chuckle at this. One that put Konan on edge.

" Konan...You're putting me in an awkward position here..." As he finished the sentence, bits and pieces of the skyscraper began to lift into the air and the ground began to crack as an immeasurable amount of chakra leaked out of the smiling red head.

" I don't want to fight you. Really. But if you don't tell me where he is right now... I'm going to beat it out of you."

Arashi's smile faded, replaced with a look that promised pain if she didn't answer his question.

Konan's response came in the form of origami spear.

" I will not be threatened by- Gwha!"

A powerful punch into her stomach silenced her save for the breath leaving her stomach.

" I warned you."

Arashi reactivated his golden aura and then proceeded to let loose some frustration that had been built up within him.

Hidan was not a happy man. His Sanin prey had been right in front of him for the longest time and he wasn't able to kill him. When he was finally cornered,he was told to retreat. When the NaArashi bastard showed up, he was told he could finally sacrifice Jiraiya's soul but that was scrapped when he got blasted with something called Rasengan which resulted in more fucking injuries. And when he finally brushed off the pain, Jiraiya was gone. Leaving Hidan to contemplate what tortures the one who interfered would suffer.

"When I get my hands on that NaArashi bastard..."

"You'll what... Shout profanities maniacally while he proceeds to hit you with another Rasengan? Because I'm pretty sure you can check that of your list of stupid things you've done."

" Fuck off Kakazu!"

" Shut Up!" Kakazu shouted in a rare show of anger. "I've had enough of your idiotics to last three lifetimes! You make mistake after mistake, you still somehow live through them, and then you act like nothing happened!"

This outburst only fueled Hidan's own rage. "In case you forgot Bitch, I'm Fucking immortal! And unlike a certain masked bastard, I don't have to rob the dead of their hearts to stay that way, again like a certain fucking money whore !

Kakazu growled as he moved into a fighting position. Hidan did the same and pointed his scythe to his partner.

" I'm going to enjoy this."

"Likewise Fucker." Hidan replied

Before either could attack however, a shout of pain from Konan echoed all the way down to where the two were.

Both looked up at a skyscraper to confirm the origin, and with a simple look and a nod to each other, they knew what to do.

"The golden bastard first!"

If Arashi's was planning to let up he made no sign of showing it. Every punch, every kick, was so quick that it almost impossible to counterattack. Normally that wouldn't matter because of Konan's ability to fade into paper and appear farther away but this person seem to know about It and just kept on her. Never giving a chance to attempt it.

With one strong punch to the jaw, Konan was sent soaring though the air.

"Just tell me where he is!" Arashi yelled toward Konan's direction

"Now's my chance!"

However, once again, Arashi appeared beside to her grabbing her hand this time.

"Going somewhere?"

Not letting her answer, Arashi began to channel chakra into his hand until a small spinning orb appeared.

"I warned you." He shouted in frustration as he thrust his hand down towards her stomach.

The attack never made contact however and the Rasengan smashed into the ground creating a sizable hole and sending ruble out in all directions.

"What?"

"Miss me Fucker?!"

Arashi recognized the voice just in time to sidestep a crimson scythe. But not a powerful kick to the head that catapulted him across the roof.

Konan didn't recognize who saved her until the smoke cleared and saw a familiar mask.

"Kakazu?"

"I'm getting paid extra for this ." He replied setting her down. "Understand?"

"Konan! What the fuck was that?!" Hidan asked appearing beside them.

"He surprised me. Nothing more." Konan said indignant returning to her feet.

"Sur-fucking-prised you?! It's a Jashin miracle. The Blue Bitch can be surprised!"

"Kakazu, would Hidan survive if he was cut into so many pieces that Hyuga couldn't find them all?

"I'm not sure. I'm willing to give it a try though."

"Both of you, fuck off!"

Arashi took notice of the three arguing before him and recognized the sycthe man he had previously had previously take a Rasengan to.

"What the hell?! I thought I took care of the scythe guy!"

"Don't you remember?! Your friend Shikamaru mentioned he was immortal."

"Oh yeah….. Damn it!"

While Kurama began to insult him for forgetting that fact, Arashi began to notice something about the three standing before him. Something that immediately put him on edge even more so than he already was. Konan and Kakazu were way too familiar with eachother. It seemed like they knew eachother for a while but he knew that couldn't have been the case.

"Hey Kurama, when exactly was the Akatsuki founded again?"

"What makes you think I know?"

"But didin't Ero Senin say anything about it back in our time?"

"I wasn't a friend of yours back then remember? I only started tolerating you during the war….. Hell, even now it' still a challenge."

"Thanks buddy."

"If we're done insulting each other, I do believe we have some business to take care of." Konan stated turning her attention back to her assailant.

"Ah yes. The Golden Fucker, NaArashi….."

"Actually it's just Arashi."

"Then why the fuck did you add Na at the beginning of it?!" Hidan retored back to his enemy.

"It just slipped out!" Arashi yelled back as he created more clones."

"No more of that."

Kakazu unleashed a wave of fire towards his direction incinerating any clones that had materialized but leaving no scorched Arashi.

"He's fast."

"Damn right." Arashi's voice said through the smoke.

Kakazu turned around in time to block a powerful kick from his golden assailant.

"Not fast enough. It would seem."

"Shut the fuck up Kakazu! He's mine!"

Hidan swiped at an immobile Arashi only for him to burst in to smoke. The reaction from Hidan was almost instantaneous.

"Fucking clones!"

The scream reached the real Arashi from his new standing point on the ground.

"Well looks like scythe guy finished me off."

"I'll never understand why they needed him for this organization."

"Yeah me neither. The guy seems like an idiot."

"Speaking of idiots…..What. The. Hell ?"

"What?"

"We agreed a simple retrieval mission. In and out. Rescue your sensei and leave. What part of that plan had ask about Madara in it?!"

"Look. If we're here we might as well deal with him now save us some trouble later."

"Arashi this is a bad idea. We already discussed this."

"Remember this isn't the actual Madara we have to deal with it's just Obito. We can fight him easily."

"Oh yes. Quite right. What was I thinking?"

"See? You should trust me more often."

"Answer me this, and I will."

"Ok shoot."

"Exactly how do you intend on killing Obito when he can enter a dimension that is only accessible by the Sharingan?"

"…."

"I'm waiting."

"….."

"Come on let's hear it. You said to trust you more after all. What's your plan for fighting someone we can't hit?"

"….SON OF A BITCH!" Arashi screamed aloud.

"It thought so."

The yell was so loud it got the notice of Hidan who looked out towards Ame and saw the golden teen standing in the street.

"How the fuck did he get down there?"

"Again with the stupid questions….."

"Shut up bastard!"

While those two began to dissolve into another argument, Konan looked over towards Arashi's direction and saw a familiar figure racing towards him.

"It doesn't really matter how he did anything now."

"What the fuck do you mean?" Hidan asked turning away from his partner.

"He's about to meet Pein."

"Oh….He's fucked."

"It appears so. Still, we've underestimated him. Spread out and cover all the escape routes."

"No problem blue bitch." Hidan replied leaping off the building.

"We're still gonna look into that whole cutting to pieces idea right?" Kakazu asked turning back to her.

"Absolutely."

Kakazu nodded before following his partner.

Konan followed suit but instead of after Hidan, it was towards her oldest comrade.

"DAMN IT! How could I forget that?!"

"You done yet?!"

"Why?! Got anymore news you gonna holdback for a bad time?"

"Well Pein is coming pretty close to you."

"Shit!"

Arashi tried to turn around but was immobilized almost immediately. He stood there unmoving for a split second before being lifted off the ground and sent hurling towards the very skyscraper he had moved away from.

"Oh this is gonna hurt." He said to himself as he drew closer and closer to the outer wall.

Arashi crashed into the building at a speed that would make the Raikage jealous carving a path of destruction through the interior before erupting through the other side and plowing into the metal ground below.

Now naturally that would attack would have killed any normal ninja. But Arashi was anything but normal. So instead of screaming in pain of any injuries he was racking his brain to try and remember Pein's weakness while laying in ground.

"Ok…..if I'm remembering this right, he has a ten second recharge time for the Rinnegan."

"Five seconds."

"I hate you."

Arashi proceeded to shout every obscenity he knew as he was picked up again and launched into the sky. At first Arashi figured he'd be thrown through another building or into the one of the many large lakes around Ame but to his surprise and dismay he just kept ascending higher and higher into the sky.

"The hell is he trying to do?! Send me into space?!"

"That might be his exact idea. It's what I would do."

"NOT HELPING."

"Relax. Madara couldn't do it so I don't think Nagato can."

"THEN WHY AM I STILL GOING UP!" Arashi yelled aloud to nobody but the falling rain drops as he flew by them."

After a few more seconds of flying, he began to feel himself slow down before coming to a complete stop. As the rain continued to pour down on him while floating maybe thousands of feet in the air he tried to calm himself down and catch his breath.

"Ok…. He hasn't hurled me back down yet so what's he up to?"

"Pein?" Konan asked her leader who was staring up with his hand stretched out.

"I'm deciding whether he should live or die." The orange haired Rinnegan wielder replied.

"He knows too much. Who we are, about Madara, he even knew that Jiraiya was here. he needs to die."

"True. But that aura of his…I haven't felt anything like it before." Pein replied the smallest bit astonished. 'Did he say anything when you were fighting him?"

"He just kept asking where Madara was. Seemed to have a grudge agaisnt him."

"Interesting... Anything else?"

"Well, I did notice he was wearing a Konoha headband. He could have been part of a team with Jiraiya sensei...

"Perhaps..."

"So what do you think?"

"Let's ask him...

Pein then shouted a familiar phrase.

"Banshou Tenshi!"

"How long can he even hold me up here?!" Arashi screamed in his head. Not a second later he began to fall like he was tied to an achor.

"Nice work you jinxed it."

"I really hate you."

Arashi held his breath as he descended back to the ground and prepared himself for the pain of crashing into the ground. But neither the pain nor the sound of hitting the ground came. He opened his eyes to see that he was floating maybe an inch off it and facing someone he had very mixed feelings about meeting.

"Woah...Man, I'll admit, that Rinnegan really is useful."

"Indeed it is." Pein replied to Arashi. "You don't seemed to be surprised by its abilities."

"Yeah. I guess you could say it's kind of been spoiled for me.."

Konan noticed Arashi wasn't acting scared or tough or really like anybody would being suspened in the air. Then she noticed what really put her on edge.

"He's smiling...Why?"

"Spoiled? You see the Rinnegan often?" Pein asked with a hint of curiosity.

"It's kind of hard to explain." Arashi said with a small laugh.

"Arashi..."

"I'm not gonna tell him. Relax. Doesn't seem like the best time."

"So what the hell are you goinng to do?!"

"I'm just gonna mess with thier heads." He told his friend inwardly smiling.

"Moving along, tell me why do you think you are still alive?" Pein asked.

"I know about Madara?" Arashi said in a joking tone.

"Correct. Without that we wouldn't be having this conversation."

"Who are you? The only ones who knew about that are Pein and I." Konan asked making her presence known.

"What? You mean he never mentioned me?"

If by the slightest chance Konan and Pein weren't confused about the young man before them they were now.

"Mention you?" Konan repeated.

"Well yeah, I mean I knew the guy for a while."

Konan and Pein looked to each other and back to their captive.

"Explain."

"Well I guess it all started in the Land of Snow. I had just saved a princess there and was planning on taking a vaction to the Moon Kingdom. Then I met this really old bastard who called himself Madara the Maniacal...

"What the fuck are they doing?"

"For the first time today, that wasn't a stupid question."

"Fu..." Hidan started to say before catching that it wasn't as big of an insult. Seeing as how the masked bastard had toned it down. He figured he could find the the tiniest bit of humanity left in him as well.

"Eh. Kiss my ass Kakazu."

"Anyway...It looks like Pein and Konan are interrogating him.

"What the fuck for? He's just some golden asshole."

"A golden asshole who knew about us and still charged in headfirst to save Jiraiya."

"Ok, so he's a stupid asshole."

"Perhaps...Or perhaps we're still underestimating him."

"What makes you say that? Leader's got him right in front of him."

"True but he's still smiling like an idiot."

"Yeah? Well how the fuck can you even see it anyway? You steal eyes as well as hearts?"

"Good eyesight comes with not being a complete disgrace to society. You wouldn't know about it."

"Fuck of Kakazu!"

"After that, He and I went into to Tanzaku town to celebrate where he spent all my money on atwo headed bear he bought from a local zoo..."

Konan stood where she was completely entranced by the insanity before her. This man. No, this BOY was floating right in front of them and spinning this nonsensical story about him and Madara being drinking buddies and wasn't batting an eye.

"So after we finished the Saki he went his way and I went mine. A few days ago I heard he was in Ame so I stopped by to say hello when I met Konan."

He looked over to her with a smile. "Sorry about losing my temper on the roof. He still owes me some money."

Konan just stood there wide eyed with the only sound coming from near her being the impact of the rain.

Arashi turned his eyes back to Pein. "So we cool?"

Pein stood still for a second or two before releasing Arashi back to the ground.

"Now see that wasn't so Ha-!"

Arashi couldn't finish his sentence before he felt his breath leave him and began gasping for air.

"That was the most idiotic thing I have ever heard." Pein said to Arashi with light malice as he pushed the chakra rod further into his stomach.

Arashi responded by releasing a large amount of blood from his mouth.

"But... It's the truth...How could you not believe the the two headed bear?" Arashi said through spasms of pain.

"He still has the same idiot smile... Does he want to die?" Konan thought.

"Enough of this."

Pein stepped back leaving the rod in Arashi until he stood beside Konan.

"Kill him."

Arashi assumed the attack would come from Konan but he had forgotten about another threat. Or rather five of them.

A powerful hand came out of the ground under Arashi's and launched itself into Arashi's stomach breaking the rod apart and launching him into the air. Arashi turned in time to catch a fist from one of Pein's other bodies.

"Shit! Forgot about these guys!"

"What? You mean to say you weren't prepared?"

"Shut up Kurama!"

Arashi and the long haired path began to fall back to earth when one who had launched Arashi into the air came into to full view.

"Asura... Gotta Stay away from that one."

"What the bald head, Blank expression, dead eyes, and super strength wasn't a dead give away?"

"You know ever since we got here, you've been an asshole."

"I'm the asshole?! You're going to get us killed!"

That inward conversation had stalled Arashi long enough for the Asura path to appear before and throw another punch in his direction. Arashi however still had the long haired path which he remembered as the Human path and chucked him back towards Asura. Asura quickly changed it's position to catch Human and both fell back to the ground with Arashi landing a few feet away. Both were on him again but not before Arashi made his signature hand sign.

"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!"

A couple hundred clones appeared in the area in a blast of smoke and began to charge the Paths. Arashi himself stayed behind and charged up an attack of his own with a few clones.

"Might as well get them reacquainted with this move."

The clones continued to channel their chakra into Arashi's hand before the regular spiral orb began to shape shift into another familiar sight. Power of this technique could be sensed all where Kakazu and Hidan were.

"Shit...What's that bastard doing? Blowing himself up?" Hidan said excited at the prospect of a bloody ending.

"I doubt it. He's probably pulling out his trump card."

"Pretty fucking powerful trump card." Hidan said continuing to sense the energy.

"Yes. Yes it is." Kakazu said with a nod. "If whatever he's doing isn't his trump card however...Glad leader's facing of against him and not me."

Pein's eyes widened at the amount of chakra this Arashi was giving off from behind his clone army. He couldn't see it exactly but he knew it was powerful. He looked over to Konan who had the exact same expression of fear she had when he had shown her his strength on the skyscraper.

"Who is he?"

"In case you didn't hear me the first time, let me spell it out for ya!" Arashi yelled out toward Pein and Konan.

"My name is Arashi Uzumaki! And as of this moment, MY MISSION IS GOING TO BE TO WIPE THE AKATSUKI FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH!" Arashi screamed with all the power his lungs could muster and launched his attack from his hands. As it carved through his clone army heading straight for the paths, he screamed out its name.

"Rasen Shuriken!"

And there's the chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Again I'm really sorry about the wait. Hopefully the next won't take that long. So what did yiuu guys think? Too long? Too short? Leave me a review and let me know. See ya later.
