Recap:

"He won't be alone! I'll be with him!" Jiraiya said giving one of his annoying smiles.

"That's what I'm afraid of." I said finishing up bandaging Naruto's stomach.

"Hey you should come to; you're a lot like the person we're looking for."

"Fine but I'm only going to make sure nothing bad happens." I said walking out of the room.

End of recap.


As soon as Naruto got out of the hospital and we both went to go and back our bags so we could go with Jiraiya to find the new Hokkage.

I was finished packing about an hour later and waiting at the gate for the blonde idiot and the perverted toad sage. I had to wait for several hours. HOURS! Jeez, how long could it possibly take for two men to pack a bag?

Finally they arrived, deciding not to question about why they were late; Sakura started walking out the gates the men following her.

After a long time of walking Naruto finally burst.

"WHERE ARE WE EVEN GOING? I'M NEVER GONNA GET ANY TRAINING DONE!" He yelled.

"Calm down kiddo. I have no clue where were going, but you can train on our way!" Jiraiya said giving one of his weird smiles.

Sakura rubbed her temples sighing, "What do you mean you don't know where we're going?" She hissed.

"Well, you see the person we are looking for is Tsunade who sort of disappeared a while ago and I have no clue where to find her. So we're just going around to all the villages in the Leaf 'till we find her." Jiraiya smiled again.

Holding back a burst of anger Sakura sighed once more then left in the direction of the closest village once again with the other two following her.

When they reached the first village and saw Tsunade wasn't there, they decided to take a break.

"Hey pervey sage? What does this lady look like anyways?"Naruto asked.

"Well she's as old as me and as short-tempered as Sakura!" The sage toad laughed.

Sakura ignored the comment and ordered something to eat from the café they were currently at.


****Satoshi's POV**** ( there is a picture of him on my profile)

"Pein, go tell everyone that there is a meeting now and to get here as soon as possible." Satoshi ordered. Pein nodded then left to get everyone in the meeting room.

As soon as everyone was present Satoshi started.

"Everyone, you can all take a break from catching the tailed beasts." Satoshi announced. They all stared in disbelief.

"But leader-sama, what are we supposed to do then? We still kill right?" Kisame asked. Satoshi looked at him an evil smile spreading across his face. "Don't worry. You still get to kill. However there is a special person you have to kill. In order to kill him though you need to work together got it?" everybody nodded their heads once more and Satoshi continued, "The person needing to be killed is Brendon Haruno." Shock was plastered on everyone's face; they knew Brendon was his brother whom he hated. They just never knew they would get to fight him together or alone.

All was quiet until Kakuzu finally spoke, "What information do we have on him? What is his bounty? Where is he at the moment? Are there any special techniques we should use? Anything we should be aware of? Do you want us to kill those around him, or lure him away from them? Is this all?"

"Answering your questions in order, He is very powerful and specializes in water along with all the other elements. Only a Haruno can specialize in all elements but we mainly specialize in one ultimately however all can use lightning as a second specialty. His bounty is unknown for he has been missing for years. At the moment his location is unidentified. Techniques are up to you as long as you work together. You should be aware of just how strong he is and don't fall for any of his tricks. Catch him when he is with a pink haired emerald eyed girl. Pein and Konan you will know them when you see them. Oh and don't kill the girl, bring her here. Anymore questions?" Satoshi stared around the room looking at each of their faces all filled with hidden shock even Pein and Konan's faces. Especially Pein and Konan's faces.

When no one spoke Satoshi flicked his hand in the air dismissing them. Everyone was out of the room except Satoshi, Pein, and Konan.

"Satoshi, would this pink haired girl be Sakura Haruno?" Konan asked.

"Yes. I felt her presence not so long ago, indicating that she had entered the leaf village." Satoshi answered.

"The Leaf village. I thought the Hokkage died only a couple of days ago." Konan said more to herself than to the two men in front of her.

"What are you planning on doing with her once we bring her back?" Pein asked his deep voice drowning throughout the room.

"She will join us, after a lot of training that is." Satoshi answered, his hand brushing back the black hair in his face only to have it fall back into place.

Pein only nodded and left, Konan following soon after. Satoshi smirked to himself his eyes turning red. In only a few days would she be back again. Satoshi chuckled darkly. 'The Akatsuki will be a really big help. Especially with Pein and Konan going. This is going to be easy.'
