AN: I apologize for mistakes ect, but I really just wanted to update this, I'm really behind in my college assignments so I'm going to be even slower updating, but I will still contiune to update.
Thank to everyone who's reviewing and still reading this =)
Sasori and Deidara entered the Akatsuki base after three days of walking. Deidara let the Jinchuuriki drop onto the ground before melting his clay into a messy substance on the floor.
"I'd rather you did that else where Deidara." Leader stated coolly as his hologram flashed onto the statue.
"Sorry un..It was that or I exploded it. Which would you prefer un?" Deidara asked, his voice slightly cocky, he'd been more free with Leader since their meeting in the kitchen.
"Don't take that tone with me and don't talk in such manners or I'll punish you with insubordination." Leader said dangerously.
"Un...Sorry Leader Sama." Deidara didn't really sound sorry though.
"Where's your arm Deidara?"
"In Sunagakure somewhere un?" Deidara said with a slight shrug.
"No, I got it when you were in the sky acting like a brat." Sasori said from within Hiruko.
"Really? So I can have my arm back un?" Deidara asked, his voice slightly more happy now.
"I'll have Kakuzu sew it back on.. Sasori put Deidara's arm in the freezer for now." Leader stated.
"Hn." Sasori moved out of the large room and headed to the kitchen.
The red haired male opened the large freeze, shifting packaged meats, tubs of ice-cream and...a dead squirrel with a kunai embedded through its head. Sasori looked throughly disgusted. He pulled the brat's arm out of one of his compartments and placed it among the frozen objects and let the freezer lid drop with a soft thump. Sasori made his way back to the summoning cave, realizing everyone was already there he quickly jumped up onto the right thumb of the statue of 'king of hell'. Sasori noted that everyone but Deidara and himself were holograms. Leader seemed more intent on everyone constantly being on a mission to find the Jinchuuriki.
"Genryuu Kyuu Fuujin." Leader formed a hand sign and the dragon spectrals began emerging from the mouth of the statue.
The dragons opened their mouths and grabbed hold of the Jinchuuriki. Bringing him into the air and slowly ripping the Ichibi out of him. Deidara remained silent, not wanting to waste his energy. He was somewhat jealous of the other members, even though their holograms were standing, no doubt they were all at least sitting down. Deidara would have to stand standing for three days and three nights and his missing arm was making him feel rather nauseous. He didn't complain though. He concentrated on exerting the right amount of chakra in a steady pace. Deidara was unsure how long had passed when the silence was broken.
"There are enemies closing in on the base." Zetsu stated with not much interest.
"Enemies un?" Deidara almost swore, Leader would punish him and Sasori if he suspected they lead a trail back to the base.
"They seem to be strong.. One of them is called Maito Gai." Zetsu's dark side added.
"Who's that?" Leader asked.
"A Konaha jounin.. He's skilled in tai jutsu." Itachi answered with a monotone and bored voice... "Don't take him lightly."
"Ah.. That wild animal again?" Kisame chuckled lightly. "We can use that technique."
"Alright let me fucking go. I've had a hell of time finding my Jinchuuriki and it's starting to piss me off badly." Hidan huffed with annoyance, his fuchsia eyes glinting in the darkness.
"No I'll go, I've got a score to settle with him. After all he did kick me." Kisame stated with slight annoyance.
"What the fuck ever. I guess the technique suits you better anyway. Seriously you have the most chakra in the Akatsuki." Hidan muttered out.
"Indeed I do."
"I'll still need about thirty percent of your chakra." Leader reminded.
Kisame nodded and closed his eyes again.
"There's more coming." Zetsu said darkly, annoyed with the amount of enemies.
"Things haven't been as quiet as last time Deidara. " Leader stated accusingly.
"Of course they haven't. You left Deidara in charge of a Jinchuuriki." Itachi stated coolly. Crimson eyes blazing dangerously.
"Oh get fucked Itachi un. I've at least caught my Jinchuuriki, who was a Kazekage by the way. You can't even capture your beast when it's only a genin un!" Deidara yelled out furiously.
"I told you brat, your techniques aren't good for stealth." Sasori called out to his blonde haired partner.
"Your traps were pretty excessive themselves un!" Deidara snapped out, his voice filled with rage at been berated by everyone.
"What did you say brat?" Sasori replied with equal rage.
"Shut up all of you!" Leader yelled out over top of the bickering members. "Just focus. Now who else is going?"
"I want to fucking go this time." Hidan whined out slightly.
"It's more Konaha shinobi." Zetsu informed blankly.
"Its decided then." Leader said and looked at Itachi who closed his eyes.
"Oh for fuck sake. Of course the fucking prodigy gets to fucking go." Hidan muttered with annoyance.
"Shut up now and focus." Leader snapped out, getting sick of all his bitchy members.
The members stayed quiet for an hour or so until Kisame and Itachi re-opened there eyes.
"The techniques finished?" Leader asked before adding. "Good job Itachi, Kisame. That should have brought us enough time."
"How about some gratitude? You just sacrificed my subordinates." Sasori ground out with annoyance.
"Hm. If it wasn't for my shape shifting technique they'd never be able to come full Akatsuki members..even if it was only for a little while." Leader said coolly. "Zetsu, clean up the sacrifices."
Zetsu nodded and closed his eyes.
"You know eating humans is just wrong un." Deidara stated, making a disgusted face.
"Itachi, who are the enemies?" Leader asked, ignoring Deidara.
"It's a four man cell. There's Hatake Kakashi, Haruno Sakura, the Kyuubi and... " Itachi paused and looked at Sasori.. " Suna's senior councilor Chiyo."
"Hn.. Granny Chiyo.." Sasori muttered softly.
"The fuck? Did you just call someone Granny?" Hidan stated with shock.
"They're nearing the base again." Zetsu stated with annoyance and cutting Hidan off before he sent Sasori into a flying rage.
"Doesn't matter. We're in the final stage. Besides we have a back up plan." Leader looked at Deidara pointedly.
"Meaning we have to finish them off un." Deidara filled in the blanks.
"Let's hurry up and get this done brat." Sasori grunted out. "We've got guests on the way."
"Un..We need to give them a good welcoming." Deidara nodded and bowed his head slightly.
"They're annoying aren't they?" Kisame chuckled.
"Fucking hell, 'Kuzu I'm fucking bored and we still haven't found either of our Jinchuuriki yet." Hidan complained.
"Settle down. We'll get them." Kakuzu replied in his baritone voice.
"Enough! Stop talking and focus! I won't forgive any mistakes from now on." Leader replied with annoyance and cruelty. Effectively shutting his members up.
The statue's eyes began widening more and showing three iris's already in the nine eyes. The dragons were furiously pulling out the bijuu and one of the eyes began to form a iris as the Jinchuuriki began choking. The sealing ended suddenly and the dragons disappeared. The body of the Jinchuuriki began to fall to the ground, his body making a sickening thud as it smashed into the rocky cave floor.
"Seriously, that took for fucking ever." Hidan complained and moved his head side to side.
"Three days and three nights un. Same as the other three times Hidan un. Stop complaining." Deidara muttered out at his zealous friend.
"Oh shove it you one armed bitch. Seriously you're lucky it wasn't your right arm. How would you jerk off then?"
"It's too soon to be making jokes Hidan un.." Deidara sulked slightly.
"Good job everyone." Leader stated, cutting across Hidan and Deidara's arguments. He learnt quickly rather than wait or try and tell them to shut up that it was just easier to keep talking and pretend they didn't exist. "You may leave. Deidara and Sasori, stay behind and take care of the pests." Leader demanded.
"Un.. Itachi, which one's the Jinchuuriki un?" Deidara asked smugly.
"Tell him Itachi." Leader snapped out after the deafening silence of Itachi refusing to speak.
"He's the one who shouts and charges first." Itachi's hologram flicker and disappeared.
"What kind of help is that un?" Deidara muttered out sourly but pleased that he'd managed to piss Itachi off. Deidara was set on taking Itachi's Jinchuuriki for himself now.
"When you two finish head back to the Ame base. We will no longer be using this one. Zetsu will collect everyone's possessions later." Leader's hologram flickered and left too.
"Well, it's just us again un." Deidara stated the obvious and jumped down from the statue at the same time as Sasori did. The statue sunk back into the ground again. "I'm so stiff, I feel like all my muscles have cramped up un!"
"Like I care brat." Sasori rolled his eyes at the brats whining but silently agreed. Even though parts of him were now made of wood those that weren't were extremely stiff.
"I'm sick of standing up un." Deidara just continued to whine for the sake of ignoring Sasori. "I know un!" Deidara dropped down on the soft body of the deceased Kazekage with a slightly sadist smile plastered on his face.
"You have no respect for the dead brat."
"Who cares un? He's dead, he doesn't care what I do to him un."
"Tch." Sasori agreed once again silently.
"They're taking along time un. I wish they'd hurry up un." Deidara generally didn't care about time but he really wanted to get his arm stitched back on. Deidara frowned slightly at Sasori's quietness. "What's wrong Sasori Danna un? I thought you hated waiting?"
"I hate it.." Sasori said with a slight sigh.
The two were interrupted as the rock that was their entry to the base was smashed open, bits of rock flying everywhere. The two Akatsuki nin didn't move though. Waiting for the inevitable fight. Deidara almost enjoyed watching the shocked and horrified faces of the ninja that entered the base. A masked man with silver hair, a pink haired Kunoichi which Deidara deduced to be Haruno Sakura, a blonde haired shinobi who looked full of rage and an old lady who Deidara guessed to be 'Granny Chiyo." He snorted internally at Sasori saying that.
"So, I wonder which one is the Jinchuuriki un?" Deidara asked with interest.
"You bastards! I'm going to fucking kill you!" The blonde shinobi screamed with rage, his eyes turning red and his canines growing.
"That him? The one who screams and charges first?" Sasori grunted out.
"Un..I think so." Deidara said and smirked.
"Where the fuck do you think you're sitting?" The blonde screamed and pulled out a kunai, rushing towards the Akatsuki nin.
He was blocked by the silver haired man. Who narrowed his one showing eye dangerously at the missing nin.
"Sasori Danna un."
"What brat?"
"I think you're gonna be pissed at me un but I'm taking the Jinchuuriki un."
"What? Like hell you are, you've got your Jinchuuriki now its my turn."
"He's not yours though, he's Itachi's un. I want him."
"Enough with your childish rivalries. You're in no condition to take on another Jinchuuriki."
"Is that concern Danna un?"
"You wish brat."
"Un. Whatever. I still need to improve my training and this will be a perfect opportunity, besides my art has been lacking lately un. This will be a good chance for me to better it un."
"You're still calling those explosions art?" Sasori sighed and looked away. "It's meant to last forever, it endures the trials off life." Sasori made eye contact with Deidara again. "True art is eternal."
"You're wrong Danna un and you know it! It's supposed to blossom only for a few moments before withering away un!"
"You still don't understand true art you brat!"
"That's you un. You don't understand!"
"Eternal art is the only true art!"
"That's absurd! You're delusional Danna un. It's withering beauty!"
"Stop it! Stop screwing with us." The blonde haired Jinchuuriki screamed.
The blonde Jinchuuriki summoned a demon shuriken and hurtled it at the Akatsuki nin. Sasori deflected it with his scorpion tail with even glancing at it. Both males acted like the attack never happened.
"Are you trying to piss me off brat?"
"I already said this would probably piss you off un! I did warn you!"
"You know what happens when you piss me off brat."
"Un... " Deidara stood up, his back cracking slightly and he ignored the stiffness in his muscles. "The essence of true art is my explosions un. Not your stupid dolls." Deidara smirked.
Sasori didn't bother replying he just sent his scorpion tail after his brat of a partner. Missing the blonde who had already created a parrot type clay sculpture that picked the dead Jinchuuriki up in its mouth. Deidara jumped onto the bird and commanded it to fly upwards.
"I'll see you later Danna un." Deidara smirked and flew out of the cave. He knew if Sasori really wanted to he could have stopped him leaving but Sasori seemed to be letting him have his chance at taking on a second Jinchuuriki in a week.
Sasori sighed internally. Freaking brat, acting by himself. There was reason for Leader partnering them. So they could work together and double their chances of succession. Sasori watched the Jinchuuriki chase his brat partner out of the base, closely followed by the silver haired man. Sasori looked back at the two remaining ninja. Haruno Sakura and his Granny Chiyo. It wasn't going to be an easy fight, he could tell that already. He sighed again and wish the brat wasn't so disobedient. It would make things so much easier. Well, nothing could be done about it now. If they both made their way out of this Sasori would take care of the brat's other arm.
Sasori smirked inside Hiruko, already the pink haired Kunoichi was frightened and they hadn't even begun to fight. Chiyo stepped towards him and informed that she'd fight by herself. Sasori couldn't help the sarcasm that leaked into his, how noble of his old Granny Chiyo. Again, he reminded himself that he really needed to stop been around the brat so much.
"Sou Shuu Jin!" Chiyo called out loudly.
Flying kunai pierced the air and Sasori flicked his scorpion tail up to block the attacks. Chiyo manipulated the blades to dodge and try and land a hit but Sasori just kept knocking them out of the air like flies.
"I guess I have no choice then.." Sasori felt his Akatsuki cloak rip apart and cringed slightly, Kakuzu was going to kill him. "Will you become a part of my collection along with the kid?" Sasori grumbled out.
Hiruko's body was revealed and he felt like killing the pink haired girl clearly for the disgust she showed the puppet body. Not even Deidara looked that disgusted. He'd kill her just for the sake of her insolence and not understanding true art. Sasori stayed quiet, watching them talk and plan attacks. He sighed inside Hiruko, getting impatient. If they weren't going to fight then he was. Sasori sent his scorpion tail flying through the air at a rapid pace. The pink haired Kunoichi only just jumped out of the way in time.
"Impatient as ever Sasori." Chiyo scolded him lightly but a dangerous glint was flickering in her eyes.
"I don't have time to waste here." Sasori muttered out.
"Whats the hurry? Don't you want to play with your Baa-Chan?"
"Tch. I'm not a child anymore, I'm beyond such things."
"Such a shame..you were an adorable child."
"Fight me already, I told you I don't have time to waste."
"What's so important that you don't want to spend sometime with me?"
"I need to make sure that idiotic blonde doesn't get himself killed."
"Oh? Sasori, do you care about someone?"
"Not really no." Sasori grunted and attacked with his tail again. Getting sick of Chiyo wasting time on such trivial matters.
Sasori aimed his tail for the weak link in the two females. Sakura jumped out of the way before flipping backwards and landing on the cave floor again. Sasori nearly twitched at having to admit that she was skilled in dodging at least. How annoying. He thought back to his brat partner who also was extremely adapt in evasive action. He sent his tail under the ground, slashing apart the rocks before coming up to attack Sakura from underneath, she jumped in shock and Sasori shot out poisoned senbon from one of Hiruko's weapon compartments. The pink haired Kunoichi's eyes widened in shock and she pulled out a kunai to deflect the weapons. She continued to evade Sasori's tail and he grunted in annoyance. If he didn't hurry this up then that idiot blonde was going to get himself killed.
Sasori ceased all his attacks and watched the pink haired girl carefully. She ran towards him with her fist raised and his eyes flicked to Chiyo. Something in his mind clicked. He pulled his tail back and swung it to swat the girl out of the air. Only he found it was stuck. His eyes followed and he noticed a feint chakra string attached to it. Sakura punched Hiruko with brute force and smashed the puppet apart. Sasori jumped out of Hiruko and landed gracefully on the ground. His blood was boiling at the destruction of his favorite puppet. It was going to take months and months to fix him again. Was it even worth it?
The Akatsuki nin stood and looked up, his muddy eyes connecting with Chiyo's shocked eyes.
"H..how?" She muttered out feebly.
"It doesn't matter how." Sasori stated boredly.
"You..you haven't aged a day Sasori.."
"Hn." Sasori released a scroll and let it drop out of his cloak arm. He pulled it out and summoned his strongest offense puppet."This may surprise you too." Sasori said with a slight smirk.
"You! You killed the Kazekage?! That's three Kazekage's you've attacked now!" Chiyo shouted out in rage on seeing Sasori's puppet; The Third Kazekage
"Three? This is the only one I've ever attacked, the Gondaime was the brats fault and the Yondaime had nothing to do with me or the organization. That was all that snake Orochimaru's doing." Sasori grunted in annoyance at been blamed for things he didn't do.
"You know Orochimaru?" Sakura question.
"Hn.. I had the unfortunate pleasure of been his partner for awhile.."
"You will tell me everything about him!" The pink haired girl yelled out with determination.
"Tch. I think not." Sasori replied unimpressed.
The red haired male commanded the Sandiame forward, pulling out two katana. Chiyo summoned two puppets of her own and Sasori halted in his attack.
"Okaa san... Otou san.." He whispered out quietly, gazing at the puppets he made when he was only a child.
Sasori glared at the puppets then Chiyo and sent the Kazekage flying at them with katana raised. His parents raised weapons of their own and the metals clashed together,sparks flew and the clanging of metal rung out through the air. The puppets attacked each other with ferocious blows. Their attacks were so fast that Sakura couldn't even see who was winning. The puppets jumped back from each other and the weapons were mangled. Sasori let the katana drop and he smirked, flicking his fingers with ease and the Kazekage's mouth began to open, something began to pour out of it and Chiyo looked horrified.
"You..can keep the original moves of the human? Sakura this is dangerous, stay out of this or you will be killed." Chiyo warned solemnly.
"Tetsu Suna." Sasori stated coldly.
The iron sand began moving through the air by an unseen force, coiling and twisting as it made its way towards Chiyo who was stunned into paralysis. At the last moment she jumped out of the way and avoided the black sand. Sasori just called it back and formed weapons out of it, sending them flying together then splitting them into two groups quickly. Chiyo jumped and landed in front of Sakura before calling Sasori's parents in front of them. The iron sand slammed into the puppets with so much force that the two females had to jump out of the way still as the iron sand weapons went straight through the puppets.
Chiyo went to move her puppets but to her shock she found that they no longer move. Sasori chuckled darkly.
"Are you forgetting iron sand makes puppets useless? Are you losing your memory in old age you senile old hag?" Sasori asked bluntly.
"You will not leave here today Sasori. I will make you pay for your crimes."
Sasori's muddy eyes glinted with anger and danger. The iron sand began to form into large shapes, he dropped them towards the females and made them scatter. The iron sand slammed into the cave floor and dented the rocky floors deeply. It was a good thing that this base would no longer be used after this otherwise Leader might kill him for all the damages. No matter how long Sasori sent the iron sand after the females they continued to dodge. Sasori already knew that Sakura was been controlled like a puppet by Chiyo but he was unsure what to do with this information. No solutions were coming to him. It was frustration him because he knew if Deidara was here, then the two Akatsuki nin would have already one. Was the brats art really greater than his own?
The red haired male slowed down his attacks someone, annoyance and doubt playing at his features. He looked around and took in the broken pieces of Hiruko. Destroyed so easy. Nothing ever lasts un. It was proving to be true and Sasori hated it, he glanced at the broken puppets head. No, even if it was broken it was still going to last. Sasori attached a chakra thread to the puppet's head discreetly. Still using his other chakra threads to command the Kazekage into using the iron sand. He used to iron sand to force Chiyo to send Sakura over to where the head of Hiruko lay lifelessly. As the pink haired girl landed near it, Sasori flicked his finger up quickly and shot out poisoned senbon. The needle like weapons flew threw the air and stabbed into Sakura's body. The pink haired girl and gasped. Chiyo pulled her back until Sakura was standing at Chiyo's side.
"One down." Sasori informed boredly.
"You're to confident in your poisons and art Sasori." Chiyo pulled out a needle and stabbed it into Sakura's arm. The contents were pushed into Sakura's blood stream.
"An antidote?" The red haired male rose a thin red brow with interest.
"Yes. Sakura made it from the boy, Kankurou when you poison him." Chiyo stated bluntly.
"He's alive?"
"No.. He died before the antidote could remove the poison.." Chiyo said with anger.
"Hn. Pity." Sasori's smirk gave away the fact that he didn't care.
The Akatsuki nin sent the iron sand back after the females. Forcing them apart once again. Whilst he was commanding the Kazekage he was also attaching chakra strings to other parts of Hiruko's broken body. It was like traps lying in wait now. They'd run out of antidotes eventually. It was only a matter of time. They couldn't attack him when they were trying to avoid his attacks. Sakura jumped near Hiruko's arm which came alive and a sharp blade flew towards her. It was deflected by a kunai. Sasori was feeling himself get extremely impaitent. He wanted to end this battle now. His distraction was what the two females were waiting for. Sakura charged towards the Kazekage, fist extended and slammed it into the stomach of the Kazekage. The puppet fell apart and the iron sand fell uselessly to the ground. Sasori released his chakra strings and gazed blankly at the puppet..Another puppet..one more thing that was failing to last forever.
Sasori summoned a katana and launced an attack at Chiyo, he stabbed towards her only to have Sakura jump in front of the attack. To his disappointment it didn't even hit a vital point. Only sliced into her stomach. Still, it was poision so unless she had another antidote it didn't matter. Sakura just smirked and used another antidote which made the red head scowl. Sasori could hear the clinking of puppets coming towards him, his parents had new katana and were aiming for his heart. He knew he should dodge or deflect the attacks but he just stared blankly. His art was failing..If his art was not true and not everlasting why should he contiune living? He lived for his art and now it seemed pointless. Sasori thought about Deidara, pictures of the blonde flashing through his mind and thoughts of the blonde's ridicoulous explosions that he insited were art. Sasori couldn't allow the brat to contiune thinking that. Sasori formed a discret handsign. If he died then surely the brat would end up dead too. Another handsign just at the katana pierced his heart from in front and behind. The red haired male's heart was pierced by two kunai, his eyes started in shock before drifting shut slowly, blood trickling from his mouth. Sasori could feel his heart beat slower and slower before finally stopping.
