"Are you two ready, we will be leaving soon. And Gaara, have you send word to the hokage?"

"Yes, Kankuro and Temari have already covered for me."

"Good, Itachi?"

"Yes Verlet-san?"

"Do you mind being held in a cell for a day or so?"

"Hn, if it helps my pack then I will."

"I see you finally came to, or is it the link the two of you share? No matter, then leave behind all your weapons. I will send for them once the truce has been made."

"Yes, Verlet-san?"

"Yes?"

"Does leader...Pein-san know of the treaty?"

"Yes, he along with the other nations have already signed the treaty between the akatsuki and their homes."

"I've finished packing leader."

"Then lets go." and with that Verlet wrapped them all around a fifth of her chakra and poofed them all to the out skirts of the village. Immediately Sasuke was in front along with the rest of the jounin leaders.

"Why so tense, we are simply here to talk to your hokage."

"Itachi, die!" yelled Sasuke while charging at him only to be stopped by a young girl with only a stare.

"Now, calm your self young Uchiha, I have brought Itachi Uchiha back to his home village not to be killed but with a scroll from his leader and I to translate the details between the new akatsuki and the four nations."

"So you are Verlet,"

"Lady hokage." everyone breathed out only to watch as the young girl smiled and bowed slightly. All the while the hokage taking in the young girls appearances. She looked nothing like what the survier's of the war had discribed her to be.

"Kureni, Kakashi, take Gaara here to our visitor squad and have them reacquainted. Oh and Sasuke follow them will you."

"No! Itachi will die!" yelled Sasuke only to be knocked out by the hokage her self.

"Annoying runt isn't he? Follow me then but we will have ANBU guard him at all times."

"Of course, shall we?" Verlet asked with yet another sly grin on her face. This was too much fun, it was like a child's game and yet she did not smile for that. She smiled because she found it all too easy, not only was she going to have the akatsuki be in truce to the entire nations but she was going to finally restore Vetis to her original state and finally bring her pack back. 'At least most of us.' she thought sadly before the demon in her stirred due to the sad memory.

'Kill, kill them all!' she called out, not caring if they were or were not responsible for her husbands death as long as blood was shed.

'Sleep.' was all she had to think before the demon slept and Verlet able to act as she should. As they talked things over and decided on what kinds of terms should be set and met the toad sage raged on how unfair this was.

"They do not deserve a truce! They're murders! Traders to their village!"

"And you toad sage, Jeriya? You left your village for "research", to spy on those who were yet to attack while your village was attacked by?"

"Orochimaru." cleared the hokage causing Verlet to stop and use all of her self restraint to hold down the demon in her. That name, that man was responsible for what had occurred those long years ago. Itachi upon noticing this tried to go near her but was stopped.

"You are not to move unless it has been okayed."

"Hn" was his only response. Quickly Verlet snapped out of it and continued with the debate. Meanwhile Vetis, Katana, Kakette and Riku were all working on their training when Sasuke suddenly left. Naruto was about to go after him when he and Sakura were asked to spar against Vetis and Riku, leaving Kakette to smile brightly, counting down the moments for her beloved to join her by her side.

"Good, now block!"

"Going, going." called Naruto while surprisingly being advised by Katana.

"You're not half bad." spoke Riku however Sakura did not respond. She was too busy thinking about Sasuke and the fact that Itachi was now in the village. Suddenly a gust of sand flew by and a yell heard. Naruto instinctively jumped back and was about to attack when he saw Kakette in Gaara's arms?

"Hey! What's going on?!"

"Gaara, where is..."

"Adjusting things, hello Naruto, Sakura."

"Hi."

"Right then shall we eat lunch. I"m sure things will..."

"I'm gonna go check up on him." spoke Vetis, wanting nothing else but to see, to make sure he was okay.

"He's not in prison."

"No.

"Where is he?"

"In the hokages tower, but..." but before Gaara or anyone could stop Vetis from foolishly joining Itachi's side she and Sasuke ran into the room. One ready to embrace the man and the other to kill. No matter how fast any of the konoha ninja would have reacted none would have made it in time to stop Sasuke from stabbing Itachi however Verlet was. Instantly she was in front of Itachi and holding Sasuke by the collar of his shirt.

"I thank you lady hokage for signing the truce but as for you Sasuke Uchiha, you must accept what has been done and move on."

"You can't tell me that, you don't know..."

"I don't know what little one? I don't know what it's like to lose everyone, everything that was precious to me. I do, far more than you will ever know. Now leave and if you attack Itachi again, wether in my presence, the presence of his soon to be wife, or any of my squad members they as well as I will ask for your containment." she hissed before sighing and sadly looking away.

"I am sorry, to all of you for this and I am sorry but I must ask you of one more thing lady hokage."

"Yes?"

"Explain to Sasuke here as well as his team and the village what this truce will mean. Also tell him what Itachi said." and with that Verlet poofed out of the hokages tower with Vetis and Itachi by her side. Once in their home Vetis strongly hugged her love and was able to finally sleep well for the night. Unaware of what was to come and the things that were going to happen.
