This chapter is...interesting to say the least. I won't be updating nearly as much compared to what I used to do, but I will do my best to at least try. Most of this content is filler stuff but has some importance regarding Ai's jutsu ability.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.


After a few days of hounding around the village I began going away from Fire Country. Deidara and Sasori were heading to Suna to capture the one tailed Jinchuuriki. According to a reliable source of mine they would be reaching their destination later tonight. I was about to leave the vicinity when screeching caught my attention. I looked up and saw black creatures with short limbs and a lizard-like bodies; despite their limbs they were about ten feet tall when standing. Their wings were similar to a black dragon's, strong, webbed, and pure black. The creatures' mouths were wide, their jaws and skin crevice reaching the base of the neck. Sharp, pointy teeth rested on their red gums. Their eyes were an eerie, pupiless white. I recognized these creatures as Fire Lizards. I got in a defensive position and prepared for the worst. However, nothing happened.

The Fire Lizards flew past me and continued Northeast; I found this odd considering my brother controlled them. I felt like something was off so I decided to silently follow the flock. Every time I came across these creatures I had fought with them; this has never happened and it got me worried. Kenta was planning something and I wanted to know what it was. I continued to follow the group and noticed we crossed Yu Country and we kept on traveling. The terrain began to look more familiar as we continued on and I grew more anxious; we were heading for Lightning Country. Along the journey the Fire Lizards had caught onto me following them and had sped to incredible speeds and pulled ahead of me. With the suspected destination in mind I continued on my way. When I arrived I hated the sight and myself more than ever.

I was back in my home town and I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. The lizards showed no mercy on this defenseless town and I wasn't here to protect them. I hadn't realized how far behind I fell until now. Every building was either smoking or still burning to the ground Tears pricked the corners of my eyes as I saw the villagers' bodies laying lifeless on the ground. I clenched my fists before running through to spot anyone still alive. I have known each and every one of the people here for at least thirty years and were the closest thing to a family that I had; I couldn't lose them. After searching around I finally accepted the fact that my old friends were now at peace. Cackling made my head snap to my old store that had burned down. Kenta was standing triumphantly above the ruble with a satisfied, sadistic grin across his face. "Why the towns' people?! They were innocent and had nothing to do with either of us!" I shouted in pure rage.

"Ah, but they did. If you don't recall they celebrated your damn protection and whether you admit it or not you had grown very attached to the humans. I simply just made things a little easier for you since you like to be alone anyways," Kenta sneered.

I glared at him before a growl ripped through my throat, "One of these days you will regret everything you've done and I will be the one to make sure that happens."

Something seemed to say 'I'm joking' because he began cracking up, "You honestly think you can make me regret any of my decisions?! Thanks to that Madara asking me to create you I was able to become immortal and now I'm practically well known throughout the entire world and I'm the most feared being. Demons, creations, and even your natural enemy obey me without hesitation and you think you will make me regret?!"

His eye sockets looked deeper than they were since his back was facing the full moon. "Trust me, dear sister, there is nothing like hearing the screams of the people closest to a freak in the dead of night and hearing them beg for the 'guardian' to come and save them! It's pure ecstasy!" he exclaimed.

My glare hardened before I bit my thumb, "Unfortunately for you, you picked a fight with this freak on the wrong night; you forget that my power and strength increase when there is a full moon. You may have been successful with pissing me off and hurting me emotionally, but you didn't think this plan through completely and blindly went forward with it. You foolishly challenged me without second thoughts and now you have to face my wrath which decreases my usual choice to be careful; you know perfectly well that pissing me off and picking a fight with me during this type of night normally ends with you running away nearly dead!" After that was said I slid my bloodied thumb over the gold crest on my necklace's jewel and I had transformed.

Kenta still looked slightly shocked about the fact that he indeed didn't fully think things through, but once he saw me charging at him he began dodging my snapping jaws and my claws I was trying to slash him with. Shrieking from the Fire Lizards made me split my attention between the two as I leaped out of the way just as one of them spit a fire ball at my person. My jaws clamped shut on one of the lizards that flew a little too close and I ducked another fire attack. I dropped the large lizard in my mouth as I roared in pain from an attack from behind. I used my chakra-filled tail and smacked the ground causing it to crack and crumble around the fire-breathers and forcing them to fly into the air. I spread my wings and jumped into the air before rapidly spinning as I forced my chakra outward to form a deadly chakra tornado. A few of the creatures didn't have time to avoid the path of the monstrous attack and resulted in them being torn apart from the sudden force of energy. As soon as the tornado broke apart I swiftly flew to the nearest creature and crushed its thighs in my mouth since I didn't have access to the fleeing creature's head. It screeched in pain before digging its claws into my skull to force me to let go; a growl ripped through my throat before I let go and shot a beam of silver chakra at the creature and successfully killing it.

I looked around at the growing number of the lizards and knew that retreating was my only option unless I wanted to suffer from severe damage. As if fate decided it agreed, Pein's voice rang loud and clear inside my head, "We have started the sealing and you ignored me the first time; you need to report."

"Give me a damn minute," I growled in response.

The reason Pein can communicate with me like he can with the other members is because I had allowed him to give me an ear-piercing similar to an industrial piercing that had the same effects that the Akatsuki rings had. The bar was in my right ear and extended from the top cartilage to my ear-lobe. I added a bit of a twist so that it grew when I transformed instead of it ripping through my ear. "Hurry up," he instructed.

I huffed in irritation before letting my chakra cloak and hide me from the Fire Lizards and I left the fight that had taken place. I was more than aggravated that Kenta had fled even before I got to land a blow. Once I was a safe distance away from my old village and from the danger I sat down near a riverbank and concentrated my chakra into my earring. I soon found my hologram demon form looking around at the other members. "Took you fucking long enough!" I heard Hidan shout.

I growled as my fur bristled, "I'm sorry, I was fucking under attack!"

"Enough!" Pein demanded.

My growling softened, but I was still glaring at Hidan; fucker was going to get it sooner or later from me. "Ai, have you found anything out?" Pein asked with authority.

I snorted, "The nin-tailed Jinchuuriki had been away for about two years and the two-tailed Jinchuuriki is in Lightning Country. I would have gotten more if Kenta hadn't decided to ambush me."

"You should always be prepared," I heard Sasori said.

I glared at the puppet master, "I hadn't expected him to set me up indirectly; he normally has a pattern and yet after ninety or so years he finally broke the pattern."

"Had he always been predictable, yeah?" Deidara asked.

I looked over at the bomber and was about to reply when I noticed something and my eyes narrowed, "Your left arm is missing."

"Like you, the brat wasn't prepared; the Jinchuuriki was able to take his arm," Sasori said.

My eyes wondered to the human that was currently having the Jinchuuriki being extracted, "How long have you guys been doing this?"

"Almost three days," Pein answered. "These two didn't cover their tracks well and were being followed. Itachi and Kisame delayed them enough for now. Zetsu, dispose of the two used for the Shouten Jutsu."

"Understood," Zetsu replied.

"Itachi, how many are there and who are they?" Pein demanded.

"From Konoha, Kakashi Hatake, Sakura Haruno, and the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki, Naruto Uzumaki. Also, with an adviser from the sand, Chiyo, they make up a four-person party," Itachi replied.

"Almost finished," Pein remarked.

I thought for a moment before looking over to Deidara and Sasori, " I'll be making my way to you. I'm getting a bad feeling about this and I feel like things will go off course here shortly."

I then released the jutsu and once again began making my journey, however, this time I was looking for the location of the two artists.


Okay, if you're wondering how or thinking it's a bit Mary-Sue for Ai to be able to create natural disasters, allow me to explain. In the manga and anime, it talks about how Kurama could create tidal waves and earthquakes with his tails and I did some research on it. I figured since the tailed beasts have this ability and Ai's demon is a mixture of all their chakra I thought the attacks were fitting.
On a random note, my cold is both getting better and worse if that makes any sense what-so-ever. Anyways my lovelies, please review~
