AUTHORS NOTE
Sorry about the late update. School starts Tuesday, anyone who cares I modeled Sakura's disguise after me. The golden blonde hair and grayish eyes anyway. Updates slower due to school maybe every week or so, more or less when I have song Love and Truth by Yui play it helps if you listen to it during that one part!

Disclaimer: Me no own Naruto or the song, sadly, only my odd ideas…
Recap
"Okay before all of you start asking questions I will tell you now that you are not to harm any of my Akatsuki teammates for as of now there is an alliance between Konoha and the Akatsuki. Sasuke that means you can't kill your brother, Itachi-san, during the alliance." Sakura said.
Sasuke grit his teeth. His brother was right there but he couldn't fight or kill him.
Sakura wasn't finished yet, "I'm not finished yet. The Akatsuki will be living in Konoha for the time being so I will also be staying here for who knows how long."
Sakura then said, "I'm going for a walk around the village if anyone needs me come find me." She then procceded to walk away from the group to go explore and see what changed in the village.
End Recap.
With Sakura
Sakura was walking through the streets of her old home while getting strange looks from the villagers. While the pinkette was walking she saw something that caught her eye. She looked at the old park she used to play in when she was a kid and noticed a small piece of red fabric in the sandbox. She walked over and pulled out the little piece of ribbon that brought back so many memories from when she was a child and held it in her hand. All those mean children that used to make fun of her, if only they saw her now, in the Akatsuki and practically the Uchiha Madara's boyfriend, under the guise of Tobi of course.
Sakura put the red ribbon into one of the pockets in her Akatsuki cloak and continued her walk through Konoha. She took all the sights for granted when she lived there for she saw them every day. Apparently nothing had changed since she left. Except for the return of a certain Uchiha.
With the Akatsuki and Konoha nins.
"Hello little brother, are you happy to see me?" Itachi asked hoping to annoy Sasuke by talking to him in such a calm matter.
"Of course not." 'Because I can't kill you.' Sasuke added in his thoughts even though he so badly wanted to say it aloud.
'Seems as if my presence is annoying him. Hn, I guess I'll leave him be for now. I wonder how much has changed in this village.' Itachi thought. The security of the village really seemed to go downhill considering that they just let in three dangerous S-Class Akatsuki criminals in.
The second eldest Uchiha turned and walked away from his brother walking into a random direction. He just happened to be heading towards the Hokage Mountain.
Tobi, being the childish person he was, spoke up and began to say, more or less yell by the way Rookie 9 and Team Gai put it, "Tobi has to go find Sakura-chan!" He announced with a mock solute turning to the direction Sakura headed off into.
All of the ninjas had similar thoughts running throughout their minds, 'Who in the world is that Tobi guy and why is he calling Sakura Sakura-chan?'
With Sakura
The emerald eyed kunoichi stared at the cherry blossom tree that was in full bloom right in front of her. She would always sit underneath it or on one of the branches to just sit back and relax. Using her chakra she hopped up to one of the middle branches and began to sit back and sing softly.
"Konna ni omotte iru Jikan wa tomatte kurenai
Karappo no kokoro wa anata no kimochi wo mada mitsukerarenai
Onaji e wo nido to egaku koto wa dekinai no ni
Atashi no kanjou wa tada kurikaeshite bakari
"Ai no uta" wo kikasete yo sono yokogao mitsumeta
Anata no koto shiritai yo mou deatte shimatta no
Donna ni sabishikute mo mata aeru ki ga shite iru kara
Riyuu nante iranai hiki kaesenai koto wo shitte iru
Kono mama ja wasuremono ni natte shimau desho?
Atashi no kanjou wa namida no oku kagayaita
"Ai no uta" wo kikasete yo sono yokogao sono saki ni
Anata ga ima mitsumeteru hito ga iru to wakatte mo
Tsubasa wo kudasai to shinjite utau you ni atashi datte chikau yo
Kako no zenbu uke ireru tte kimeta
"Ai no uta" wo kuchizusamu sono egao ni furetai
Anata ga ima mitsumeteru hito ga iru to wakatte mo
"Ai no uta" wa owaranai mou deatte shimatta no
... Owaranai... Love & Truth"
Sakura finished her song only to hear a faint clapping behind her. She turned around to see Madara there without his mask on. He jumped up and landed on the same branch Sakura was sitting on and sat down next to her.
Madara's POV
As I walked away from the Konoha nin I began to locate Sakura's chakra signature. She was in the far east side of Konoha. I used one of my space time ninjutsu's when I got far enough away from the ninjas and felt no other chakra I warped over to Sakura's location.
I started to hear a faint singing and noticed it was my sweet cherry blossom sitting in a cherry blossom tree singing ironically enough. I started to get closer and was able to hear what she was singing clearly now.
"Ai no uta" wo kikasete yo sono yokogao mitsumeta
Anata no koto shiritai yo mou deatte shimatta no
Donna ni sabishikute mo mata aeru ki ga shite iru kara
Riyuu nante iranai hiki kaesenai koto wo shitte iru
Kono mama ja wasuremono ni natte shimau desho?
Atashi no kanjou wa namida no oku kagayaita
"Ai no uta" wo kikasete yo sono yokogao sono saki ni
Anata ga ima mitsumeteru hito ga iru to wakatte mo
Tsubasa wo kudasai to shinjite utau you ni atashi datte chikau yo
Kako no zenbu uke ireru tte kimeta
"Ai no uta" wo kuchizusamu sono egao ni furetai
Anata ga ima mitsumeteru hito ga iru to wakatte mo
"Ai no uta" wa owaranai mou deatte shimatta no
... Owaranai... Love & Truth"
I began clapping after I took of the swirly orange lollipop mask and laid it onto the ground. She turned around and looked at me surprise clearly showing on her face. I gathered chakra into my feet and hopped up onto the tree branch Sakura-chan was sitting on.
Normal POV
"You have a really pretty voice Saku-chan." Madara said with sincerity. He wished he heard he singing earlier so he could comment on it.
"Th- Thanks. No one ever heard me sing before. It was just something I do when I need to escape the troubles of the world." Sakura spoke while watching a cherry blossom petal float down to the ground.
"No problem, Oh!" The eldest Uchiha said suddenly surprising Sakura.
"What is it Mada-kun?" Sakura asked suddenly concerned.
"Nothing, I just remember that I need to complement you on how you handled Sasuke, or as you call him 'Duckbutt'. That look on his face was priceless!" Madara exclaimed while starting to laugh.
Sakura started to laugh too. Where she came up with the insult she doesn't know but she does know it fits Sasuke, his hair AND personality perfectly.
"We should get going Tsunade-shishou should have the scroll almost done by now." Sakura said after they finished their laughing. She knew she loved his laugh. The pink haired kunoichi would have to make him laugh more often when they were alone.
Madara sighed, "Yeah your probably right." He wasn't ready to go back into being an idiot so soon. At least with Sakura around he was acting less like Tobi then usual. He should be happy for that at least.
They both hopped off the tree limb, Sakura going one way Madara going the other to retrieve his dreaded mask of idiocy. He felt as if even now when he was not acting as Tobi he still had some of his personality added into his own. He put the mask back on and began to walk back towards the village, hand in hand.
With Itachi
Itachi was walking around the village heading toward the Hokage's Mountain. 'Hn. Few things have changed from when I have last been here.' He mentally noted. There were a few more shops opened but that was about all. There were kids chasing each other around the streets while the citizens gather groceries and chatted about whatever civilians chat about.
The Uchiha had been so caught up in his musings he barely noticed how quickly he made his way over to the huge rock face containing the carved faces of the Hokages. The Shodaime Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Nidaime Hokage, Tobirama Senju, the Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Yondaime Hokage , Minato Namikaze, and finally the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade Senju.
All of the Hokages of the Hidden Leaf were brandished upon the rock face before the second eldest Uchiha. Itachi then began to wonder, 'I never really thought about it but now that I look at this rock face I notice that 3/5 of all the Hokage's were from the Senju clan.'
It was a good question, but not yet one Itachi could figure out. There was just so much history behind it all that he didn't know, more or less, didn't have to know. It was information that was just lost within the depths of history. Maybe a select few still remembered it but as of late it seemed to have just simply faded away, like an old memory.
'Hn, while on that line of thought with the Hokages, Tsunade should have that scroll ready by now.' Itachi thought and with that he started his walk back down the mountain to head to the Hokage Tower. Hopefully his teammates are on their way there as well.
With Tsunade
'Finally! I finally finished writing this damned scroll! I never thought it possible to be that hard to write a reply for ANYTHING!' Tsunade ranted on in her head about how hard it was to write that scroll and how she needed her "Special Sake" which meant basically drinking pure alcohol. It took her 2 hours! Two fucking HOURS to write that scroll! If this wasn't the best scroll she had ever written may she be damned to a terrible life in hell. That damned scroll read,
'Akatsuki Leader,
I have read over your terms and will agree to them. It has come to my concern that many of my nin may be hostile to you. Hopefully you will take that into consideration. I have two terms of my own should you agree to them,
Our allies will become your allies. You shall not harm any of them unless being utterly provoked into no other action.
When you are in my village I ask of you to remove your cloaks.
I hope you agree to these terms and if not the alliance is off. You need not reply to this message. I will know your answer if you show up at my gates in one week time with your gang of criminals.
May I see you in 3 days if agreed,
Godaime Hokage, Tsunade.
INSERT KONOHA OFFICIAL SEAL HERE!
The female Hokage had about 5 different trash cans filled to the brim with papers. Most of them being scrolls in which she messed up and or didn't like the way they were worded. She just hoped that the three Akatsuki got here soon so she could stop glaring at the scroll in front of her. That scroll had to get out of her sight within the next ten minutes or Tsunade was going to rip it into a million pieces, light it on fire, dance in the ashed, and throw whatever was left out her window to hit whatever unlucky soul was going past.
With Itachi Tobi and Sakura
The three Akatsuki met up with each other at the front of the Hokage Tower. They nodded at each other then walked inside, up the many flights of stairs, and finally came to the door that led to the Hokage's Office. Sakura walked up to the door and knocked on it three times. After she heard a slightly aggravated "Come In!" she opened the door while Tobi and Itachi walked in, Sakura following closely behind.
"Good just the people I have been waiting for. You came just in time to stop me from destroying that stupid damned scroll. It took me TWO HOURS to write! Look at all these ruined scrolls!" Tsunade ranted pointing at the 5 trash cans. She tossed the scroll to Sakura from across her desk.
"Thanks Tsunade-shishou." Sakura said while catching the scroll.
"Now get that scroll outta my site!" The Hokage yelled in anger. Just the site of the scroll made her want to punch a hole in something.
"Hai!" Was heard from the three shinobi as they vanished from her office. Tsunade could already feel more at peace with that scroll gone and out of her site. She hoped the Akatsuki Leader would agree to her terms though, she wanted to see Sakura again. All she could do now is wait a week and see if they would come or not.
At Konoha's Gates
"Are we all ready to get going?" Sakura asked while putting the scroll in the same pocket as the red ribbon that she found in the sandbox from her childhood.
"Hn." Came from do I even need to mention his name, Itachi.
"Tobi's a good boy! We should get the scroll to Leader-sama as soon as possible!" Tobi said in his always cheery voice which can brighten every mood.
"Then let's head out!" Sakura yelled as she pumped her fist into the air. The threesome disappeared in a blur and left Konoha, heading back to their main base in Ame. They would get there in about 2 days if they rushed but they had been given a week to complete the got to Konoha in 2 days and only spent half a day actually staying in Konoha so if they took their time they would get there with half of a day to spare.
