ooooooooooooo
After a Gaara had caught up with Naruto they headed to the Hospital to pick up Sakura and then headed to the Hokage tower.
"...What?! Are you crazy! Absolutely NOT!" Tsunade yelled at the three.
"It would help us with our investigation. Plus we wouldn't go alone." Gaara said in his non-emotional tone.
"Wait. Who would...?" "I asked the Akatsuki if they'd help us since they know where one of the entrances to his hideout are." Gaara interrupted and as he said that the Akatsuki walked into the room along with Shikamaru and Temari.
"Konan, Deidara, Itachi, Sasori and I are the ones going on this mission. The others will stay and look after Kaiten. Is that alright with you Hokage?" Pein said in his emotionless toned voice.
Lady Tsunade sighed. "Fine...This is an S-rank mission. Your mission is to get information on Kaiten from Orochimaru and anyone else who has sided with him." Tsunade announced to the teams
"Meet at the main entrance in an hour." Gaara said to the other seven and walked out. "Dismissed." Lady Tsunade sighed as they left.
An hour passed and the teams were waiting at the gate for Naruto.
"Is he always late?" Gaara asked Sakura and got a nod from her as she was fixing her equipment in her pouch. They then heard yelling from the street and saw that it was Naruto. When he ran up to the gate he was panting.
"Sorry...I-I'm...Late...Had to find...my...j-jacket..." Naruto panted.
"Alright now that everyone is here let me assign teams." Gaara said as he walked in front of the seven. "Why do you get to assign teams?" Deidara sassed. "Because he's the Kazekage Danna..." Sasori said to his partner. Deidara huffed.
Gaara sighed then looked at the others. "Itachi...would you mind being on my team?" He asked Itachi.
"Sure..." Itachi shrugged. "Sakura and Naruto will also be on my team." Gaara said, turning to his friends.
"Alright my team will seek out Kabuto and Sasuke. Your team, Pein, will find Orochimaru and get information on Kaiten. Do whatever you can to get the information. Just...don't kill him..." Gaara said to the teams and they all agreed.
"Deidara and Naruto, you two know where to go so we're counting on you two." Gaara said and turned to the gates. "Lets move out!" Gaara announced to the seven and they all headed out.
ooooooooooooo
As the others went on the mission Kakazu, Kisame, Hidan, and Tobi went with Shikamaru to the hospital as directed by Pein to watch over Kit. When they got to her room Temari was already waiting for them.
"Took you long enough." Temari teased as she approached Shikamaru and took his hand. "Come on boys. She's been waiting for you." Temari smiled as she opened the door and saw Kit slam Hidan against the floor. When Hidan looked up at Kit, he saw that she was crying.
"Kit what's the matter?" Hidan asked the tiny child that had managed to knock him down. "If you don't say what's wrong we can't help you Kaiten." Kakazu said as he picked her up off of Hidan and cradled her as he walked over to her bed and sad down, Kit still in his arms.
"She probably missed you guys." Shikamaru said as she sat onto a chair and sighed. Kit gave Kakazu a small nod in hearing her answer. Hidan laughed as he put his scythe aside. He then took a chair and dragged it to where Kit and Kakazu were.
"We aren't going anywhere Kit." Hidan said to her. Kit looked up and turned her head to Hidan, who was smiling at her and giggled a little. Kit smiled at Hidan and scooted from Kakazu's lap onto Hidan's lap and stayed there.
"What happened to Kitty-Kat's arm?" Tobi asked as he loomed over Kakazu's shoulders. Kakazu grabbed Tobi and flipped him off of the bed and off of him. "Yea what happened to your arm Kit?" Hidan asked and went to touch her arm but Kit flinched her arm away and looked down at the ground and began to cry again.
"Gaara said she punched a television. If you want to know..." Temari began. "She...got a video from someone and watched it. She um...got angry at what was on the DVD and punched the TV. Sakura said she had healed it. Lady Tsunade had said that some of the tendons were torn when the glass stuck into her hand and arm." Temari explained to the others as the others looked down at Kit who had her head curled into Hidan's chest.
"I would like to see this video." Kakazu said as he got up. "I'd like to see it as well." Kisame sighed as he put Samehada to the side by Hidan's scythe. "Fine. Come on." Temari said as the two followed Temari out of the room, leaving Shikamaru, Tobi, and Hidan in the room with Kit.
oooooooooooooo
Gaara and Pein's team found the cave where they escaped from last and climbed the mountain and into the cave.
"Alright Naruto where do we go?" Sakura asked as they entered the layer.
"Uh...it's a lone door at the end of a hall. I forget where though." Naruto told her, giggling a little as he put his hand to the back of his neck.
"UHG! Follow me...Hmph!" Deidara said as he walked in front of the group and down many halls to a hall with a lone metal door at the end. "There..Hmph." Deidara said as he pointed to the door.
"Want me to blow it up?" He asked them but was stopped by Sasori and Itachi.
"We want to be quiet Danna." Sasori said as Pein ran up to the door and opened it.
"What the hell..." Deidara said as they heard Sakura gag a little.
The room was an operating room. Blood was everywhere. Some of the blood was dry. Tools in trays and on hooks on the walls. Pein went into the room and look at the operating table. He looked over it then saw a small pile of clothing off to the side of the room.
"Hey! This is my shirt! That snake bastard shredded my shirt! Hmph." Deidara ran up to his the pile and took his torn shirt then threw it down onto the pile again in rage.
"Calm down Danna. It's just a shirt." Sasori said, trying to comfort his partner.
"YEA!? But who was wearing it before it got like this?! Tell me Sasori! WHO!?" Deidara shouted, tears forming in his eyes. Sasori put his puppet arm down as he lowered his gaze a little, remembering what had happened and what state Kit was in before they took her out of the cave-like layer.
"Quite you two. Come on. Sasori and I will stay here and see what we can find. There are a few rooms that look suspicious" Konan said as she put a hand on Deidara's shoulder.
"Deidara." Konan smiled at the blond haired boy. "You have my permission to kick that snake's ass. Hokage Tsunade said 'Whatever it takes' right?" She smiled at him. He nodded in agreement.
"Alright. Naruto, you go with Pein and Deidara since they're short one person." Gaara said to his Jinchuuriki friend who nodded and went with the remaining Akatsuki members to seek out Orochimaru.
oooooooooo
Kakazu's POV
I walked with a blond haired girl and Kisame down the halls of Konoha hospital to a blocked off room. The blond let Kisame and I into the room and explained that Little Kit had punched a huge crack into the poor TV. From the way the TV looked like it was dropped from a high place. I made a mental note not to make Kit angry or I may end up like the television.
The woman then brought us to the next room and put a disk into the player.
When the video started playing I saw a small child with light blond hair singing along with a puppet playing an instrument in the background. "Puppet?...oh that's right the sand village specializes in puppets. Seems like Sasori has a successor..." I thought as I watched the video.
"You're smilin' Kakazu." Kisame told me and I punched him in the shoulder. "Shut up you smurf..." I said as I continued to watch the video.
As quickly the video ended, it started again with a man who had red hair talking to a white haired man with glasses. I started to clench my fists in remembering what those bastards had done to the poor child. I was the only one who saw Kaiten's helpless, lifeless body laying on a bloody operation table. The child had Iv's and wired stuck into and onto her that her small body was barely recognizable. The only thing that was recognizable on her was a shredded black shirt and small child-like underpants. I felt sick when I remembered that but what I heard made me want to punch the television as well.
"Take this child out of my village. Do whatever you want with it. I don't care." The red-haired man said to Kabuto as he gave the child to Kabuto. That was the end on the video.
"...I can see why she was angry." I finally said to the other two.
"What do you mean Kakazu. This isn't like you. Do...you know something we don't?" Kisame asked, confused.
"Yea...When we were on the mission to capture the child. Orochimaru managed to manipulate her mind and lead her to him and..." I paused and gulped.
"When I found her she was wired up in an unsanitary operating room with Intravenous's stuck into both arms, multiple in each. She had a pained expression on her face as she slept. They...were taking blood and cutting her...and...I couldn't stand there and watch as she was in pain. So I knocked them out and pulled all the wires and Iv's out of her and sewed a blanket around her. She woke up when I was about to run out. I..." I stopped again.
"I grabbed the nearest sedative and knocked her out then left the room. When I got out of the room I found the others without even realizing it and ran as fast as I could with her." I finished, holding in my urge to kill something. The blond haired woman seemed speechless and Kisame just stared at me.
"Is that what happened. Well then..." Someone said and I finished. When I looked at the door leading out into the hall I saw the Hokage. "I thank you. The child had told me that she didn't know how she got to the room but she thought it had something to do with Orochimaru. The masked man said she just walked off with and saw her taking Sasuke Uchiha's hand." Tsunade explained to the three and turned heal and walked away.
ooooooooooooo
Normal Pov
Pein, Deidara, and Naruto headed down the rock-like walls of the cave, carefully opening every door to find Orochimaru.
"Where is he!?" Naruto yelled, throwing his hands up in rage.
"Where is who?!" Someone said behind them. They turned around to find Kabuto Yakushi. Naruto growled at him as if in tailed beast mode.
"Such bad manners. I'll have to fix that." Kabuto said and threw a scalpel at Naruto. It was blocked by Pein who seemed to have caught it in mid air.
Kabuto tisked. He then ran at them.
"Almighty Push!" Pein yelled as then Kabuto was sent back into the back wall, which was about twenty feet away. Kabuto got back up and laughed.
"Well you seem to have an interesting jutsu. I bet Lord Orochimaru would love to have it!" Kabuto yelled as he ran at them again. He threw scalpels at Naruto again. This time he hit him, pining him to the wall next to him and tried to get to the blond spike-head but was blinded by a flash of light
"What the hell?! AH! oof." Kabuto fell and tired to get up but was held down by something. That something was Naruto clones. Clay held his hands and feet together in a bind. Pein picked the white haired man up and went into an empty room with the other two and closed the door behind him.
ooooooooo
While Pein, Deidara, and Naruto went after who they thought was the way to find Orochimaru, Gaara, Sakura, and Itachi went to find who they thought was Kabuto.
They went through every door and turned up dry. That is until they heard talking on the other side of one door. Itachi gave a hush sound before the door opened on its own.
"Stop playing hide and seek brother." Sasuke said in his monotone voice as he looked at the intruders. Gaara stared back, his arms folded in front of his chest. Sakura at the ready to attack, a kunai in her right hand. Itachi stood there, staring eye-to-eye with his kid brother.
"We weren't playing little brother. We need information. Where is Orochimaru?" Itachi said nonchalantly to his kid brother. "...he's behind me. In this room...If you need info I won't stop you. I'm not in the mood to fight anyway..." Sasuke said as he turned heal and went back into the room where Orochimaru was.
Orochimaru sat in a lone bed in a dimly lit room. It was somewhat decorated with a pattern of a snake, like his summoning tattoo, on the lower part of the walls. By his bed was a table with medicine boiling in a beaker. In the corner of the room sat a bookshelf and a chair.
"What brings the young Kazekage to my home?" Orochimaru asked, smiling and sounding hostly to them but non of them were buying it.
"We want information on a young child you had ten years ago..." Gaara stated, getting right to the point.
"A child...ten years ago...Hmm..." Orochimaru thought, putting his thumb and index finger on his chin, gripping it. Then went to pinching the bridge of his nose.
"What...was the childs' name?..." Orochimaru asked after a few minutes of thinking.
"The name is Kaiten..." Itachi blankly said, never taking his eyes off Sasuke.
"Kaiten...Kaiten...Rings some bells...OH! The Kazekaze's child! I remember her. The child was so tiny and frail. But its a shame you missed her. The truth is. She ran away about a month and a half ago...I haven't seen her since." Orochimaru exclaimed, making Gaara throw a sand shurikin, intentionally missing his head.
"Tell us everything you know. From the beginning and if you leave out any detail. Next time I wont miss." Gaara said, his anger growing a little.
oooooooooooo
