"Sakura!" everyone yelled. "Where are you Sakura?"
"…ere…" a very faint voice.
"What was that?" Zetsu asked.
"Sakura!" Naruto yelled.
"…elp…"
"We're coming Sakura!" Kakashi yelled. "Just wait until we figure out where you are!"
"…oing…die…"
"oing die?" Sasuke said. "What does that mean?"
"…oing…fall…"
"I think she's going to fall to her death," Konan said, putting the pieces together. Everyone looked at each other, then screamed "Sakura!"
"Sakura, where are you?" Naruto yelled, running around in circles.
"Call out Sakura, call out!" Kakashi bellowed.
"Our father thou art in heaven…" everyone else muttered except Konan.
"What are you doing idiots?" she yelled. Everyone stopped and stared. Konan sighed in exasperation. "Her voice came from that direction," she said very slowly, making large hand gestures. "So we should go there."
"…oh…" everyone else said slowly before sprinting off. They soon came to a large hole. As Hidan wasn't there, it had too be Naruto who looked down the hole. Sakura was hanging desperately off a branch.
"Help!" she yelled.
"Can't you just climb up the wall using chakra?" Pein asked, obviously wondering why Sakura hadn't done this.
"I can't, the wall's too weak, I'll just fall!" Sakura yelled. "Now help!"
Pein turned to Kakuzu and said, "well help her then."
Kakuzu knelt down by the edge of the hole and let some threads escape down it. They wrapped round Sakura and started to pull her upwards. Then the ground around crumbled slightly, so he made to move back, Sakura sensed that Kakuzu was moving away and pulled on the threads unconsciously, not wanting to fall again. This had the unintended effect of making Kakuzu overbalance, which made him start to fall.
"No!" Kakuzu yelled as he started to fall. He managed to stable himself, but then the ground just had to give away. Poor Kakuzu toppled forward into the hole. Kakashi made to grab him, but only managed to grab the man's ankle. And instead of saving Kakuzu he only managed to fall with him.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" the three screamed as they fell. Kakuzu flailed around wildly, and somehow defeated all the odds and caught hold of Sakura's foot, which meant that he stopped, because Sakura had grabbed hold of the branch again. Kakashi was less dignified, and managed to look like an oversized monkey by clinging to Kakuzu's leg.
"Help," they all muttered grudgingly, whilst the others roared with laughter.
"Stop…laughing…you…idiots," Pein gasped. "We have to help them."
"You sure?" Kisame said. "I mean, wouldn't it be better for Kakuzu's pride if Hidan saw this and didn't just hear about it?"
"No it would not!" Kakuzu bellowed.
"Don't leave us please!" Sakura begged. "The branch is about to snap!"
"Kakuzu!" Konan yelled, always the logical thinker. "Send us your hand!'
Kakuzu did so and very slowly the group were hauled up, with much screaming and cursing being heard.
"What do you guys eat?" Pein asked, as he lay gasping on the floor with Kisame.
"You guys weigh a whole lot more than average, that's the only thing I can say," Kisame said. Both of these remarks earned the men a punch on the head by Sakura.
"I thought S-rank criminals were stronger than…this," Naruto whispered to Sasuke, gesturing at the two men who were looking sorry for themselves and rubbing their sore heads.
"I think generally they are," Sasuke whispered back.
"All right! Let's go and find Sasori and Tobi!" Deidara yelled.
"What happened to Hidan?" Naruto quietly asked.
Sasori was wandering. After much wandering, he caught the smell of smoke, despite that he was a puppet. He wandered in the direction of the smoke and saw a light, most likely a fire.
Itachi was throwing anything he could on the fire he had made. Wood, leaves, birds, squirrels, anything he could get his hands on. The fire was getting low, so Itachi reached behind him and felt around until he found something wooden. He grabbed it and threw it over his head. It screamed. Itachi's eyes widened as Sasori landed in the fire.
"Holy mother of God!" the red head screamed. "Itachi! Help!"
Itachi rushed forward and dragged Sasori out of the fire, before stomping on him to put the fire out. Luckily, because of these quick actions, Sasori only ended up with ragged trousers, and a completely burnt jacket.
"I'm sorry!" Itachi exclaimed.
(Side story)
"I can't help but think that it wasn't a good idea to not refill that hole," Hinata said thoughtfully.
"It took us five hours to dig it, we won't going to go filling it in!" Kiba exclaimed.
"Remind me why we had to dig the thing in the first place?" Shino said.
"Some old man apparently buried some treasure there," Kiba explained. "So we had to go and dig it up. Nobody told us he had buried closer to the centre of the earth than the top!"
"Oh yeah, we never did find it did we?" Shino said.
"No," Kiba said sadly.
