A/N: Ok, like I promised, I'm updating two days early to make up for the two days that I was late last week. XD

First important thing about this chapter: It is in Deidara's point of view

I won't often do POV swaps, but I needed to in this case. There may or may not be a few more chapters in different POV's.

Second, and the most important thing about this chapter! I marked on here with (*) to signify where I started using actual quotes from the actual anime and I used the same sign to signify where I stopped. You will see where, but I want to clarify (like I really need to? Everyone knows this isnt my series) that Naruto (c) Masashi Kishimoto and I am simply writing this for my own amusement.

So now, you may all enjoy the next chapter!


Chapter Eleven: The Meeting

(This chapter is in Deidara's Point of View)

"Hey, Tobi hurry up!" I yelled, walking into our room. "Jeez, what an annoying partner."

"Hold on Senpai! Wait for me!" Tobi yelled, clumsily running into the room after me.

"Hurry up, idiot! If we're late Lord Pein won't be very happy."

"Alright alright! Ready Senpai!" Tobi scratched his mask with a finger. "Eehhh… But, Senpai… Why do we have to be in our room for the meeting? It doesn't matter where we are when he calls us."

"Idiot!" I yelled at him even though I knew he didn't deserve it. He was right. I hadn't told him my reason yet so it's only natural for him to be confused. "I have a few things to talk to Lord Pein about, things concerning Reika so I didn't want her to hear."

"Oooh?" Tobi stepped toward me. "Don't tell me! You're gonna confess your love for her aren't you?" He made a dramatic motion with his arms. "You're gonna tell Pein-sama that you don't wanna put your beloved Reika's life in danger!" Then he lowered his head and whispered. "Oh Deidara-senpai, you're so naughty!"

"I-IDIOT!" I screamed at him and hit him on the head as hard as I could. My face was burning with embarrassment. "What the hell is your problem, idiot!?" I would have blown him up with a bomb right then if we weren't inside. "Don't go making up stories like that! It pisses me off! This is important, don't joke around, hm!" Tobi looked up from the ground and said,

"Oh Senpai, your face is all red! Are you embarra—"

BAM!

I stepped on his head and smashed it into the ground, then continued to stomp on his head repeatedly until I suddenly felt an energy in the room.

"Hey, Tobi! Get up, Lord Pein's calling us."

"O-Ow Senpai, you're so mean." Tobi complained standing up. We stood still, made the signs with our hands and closed our eyes until we found our minds in the cave where we extracted the Bijuu from their vessels. Once everyone was present, Zetsu announced to everyone that Hidan and Kakuzu had been defeated in battle.

"That's surprising." Kisame commented blankly. "Those two were practically an undefeatable team, with Hidan's immortality and Kakuzu's multiple hearts." I nodded in agreement. I'd been surprised when Zetsu had told me and I didn't entirely believe it was possible. Our discussion continued as Lord Pein gave us our orders and instructions and Zetsu gave us further information.

"So the ones who killed Hidan's team back then were…" Kisame started.

"They were people from Konoha." White Zetsu finished for him. Then Black Zetsu added, "It was Kakashi and the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki's platoon."

"That platoon is strong, isn't it?" Tobi asked. "They punched Deidara-san full of holes too."

His unnecessary comment infuriated me and I quickly turned to yell at him.

"Tobi! You asshole, just say another word! My patience container is about to explode, hm!"

"Easy, easy, easy." Tobi chuckled. "If your patience container is a bag of your patience, Deidara-san, then like your bag of exploding clay, you'd just shred it to pieces immediately."

"Damn you, Tobi! I'll kill—"

"Deidara, calm down." Lord Pein stepped in. "You'll only prove Tobi right."

"Tch!" I turned away from Tobi. Tobi started laughing.

"I made Senpai angry. Ahaha—"

"And Tobi, you're always saying too much." Lord Pein interrupted his laughter. "You're angering your Senpai." Tobi cheerfully raised his hand and replied,

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

Irritated, I reluctantly listened through the rest of what needed to be discussed then left the discussion. I knew Tobi would leave right after me, so I stood there in our room waiting, ready to kick his ass for his idiocy. I saw his head start to turn toward me and without giving him even a second to react, I kicked him in the head and sent him smashing into the wall.

"IDIOT!" I screamed. "I'll blow you to hell!" I didn't care where we were, I was so infuriated with him that I dug my hands into my clay pouches and was ready to throw some bombs at him when I suddenly realized I'd forgotten something. "Shit! I forgot to ask Lord Pein about Reika. Damn it Tobi! You asshole, you made me forget! You're lucky I don't kill you right now!" Tobi rubbed his head as I turned to open the door. "I need to find Zetsu." I ran around the building looking for Zetsu, hoping that he hadn't left yet. When I finally came to Kakuzu's former office, Zetsu was there looking at the papers that were sprawled all over his desk.

"Oh Deidara," Zetsu looked at me. "Did you come to pay your respects to Kakuzu?"

"No, I came to ask a favor." I replied hurriedly. "Do you think you can go to Lord Pein and ask him to contact me again so that I can talk to him about Reika's strange chakra? I meant to ask at the meeting earlier but that damned Tobi distracted me." I gritted my teeth in anger. 'That idiot!'

"Ah, no problem. It won't take me long. Just wait for his call." I nodded and he disappeared through the floor.

"I hope he gets back to me quickly. I'm curious." I sat in Kakuzu's chair, deciding to wait here until I was called. "Oh well. There's nothing I can do but wait. I'm sure Zetsu will get there soon. He's able to travel faster than anyone here."

I waited about ten minutes or so before I felt Lord Pein calling to me. 'Damn, Zetsu really is fast.' I closed my eyes and found myself back in the cave. Lord Pein's projection was standing in front of me.

"You wanted to ask me something?" He asked.

"Yeah, it has to do with the girl I've taken on as my disciple." I replied. He stood silently and waited for more information. "Today we started training her. I'm sure you know by now that she was taken from the 'other world' so she isn't familiar with the shinobi world or anything having to do with chakras and jutsu." He nodded. "Well, her training today was to focus her chakra into her hands so she could see it and would actually believe it was possible. It took her a while, but when she finally did it… Her chakra… It was different." Lord Pein looked interested when I said that.

"How so?" He questioned.

"Well, first off, it was green. Not blue like normal chakra." His eyes looked curious but they were hard to read. "Zetsu was with me and he said it felt like Nature chakra… but… How could that be? How could someone survive with Nature chakra as their natural chakra?"

"That is odd." He said coolly. "I've never heard of that happening, but stranger things have appeared before, so I don't doubt that there is an explanation. I'll send a few groups to see if we can find anything out."

"Really?" I tried to contain my excitement. "Thanks Lord Pein, hm!"

"Of course." He turned away and was about to disappear when he looked back and added, "Looks like we might have found ourselves another talented member… That is, depending on how well she's trained." He turned his head away. "You can remain her primary sensei, but I will be assigning other gifted members like Itachi to teach her different types of jutsu. Perhaps she can even learn Genjutsu. If she is to become skilled enough to join the Akatsuki, she must catch up and learn as much as she can about the Shinobi world quickly."

"Right…" I nodded and he left. I was back in Kakuzu's room. I didn't like what Lord Pein had said to me at the end. Reika was supposed to be my disciple, my student, to learn my techniques. I didn't want to have a student I couldn't teach. It really pissed me off that he mentioned Itachi. I punched the table in front of me. "Damn it!" The name alone pissed me off. Those mocking eyes, always making fun of my art! He didn't deserve to teach the same student as I was! Even though his art is respectable, it isn't true art, and it's insulting! That Uchiha bastard!

"Oh, Deidara-senpai there you are!" Tobi ran in and tripped, banging his head on the table. "Ouch ouch ouch…" he rubbed his head and stood back up. I glared at him.

"What do you want you idiot?!" I snapped, in no mood to put up with his brainlessness.

"Ehehe… Well, I just wanted to tell you Reika is still out in the training room practicing." He looked out the door as if looking at Reika. "She seems to have gotten the hang of it. Before I found you she was running around on the ceiling. Hahaha, she seems funny. I like her! I think she'll be good company, don't yo—… Eh, Senpai? Senpai, where are you going? Senpai!?"

"Tobi…" I mumbled, aggravated as I walked past him and out of the room. "You talk too much."


A/N: Ok, so before I get flammed with all the mary sue stuff, I wanted to say, that little bit in there with Tobi saying stuff about Deidara liking Reika was my friend's idea and I thought it would be fun to have Tobi mess with Deidara some more. It's quite amusing!

I think that's all I really have to say about this chapter. See you all next week! ...Reviews would be nice as well...
