The sight that greeted the group that afternoon was amusing to say the least. Sasori was pulling Saiya out of the room by her shirt and tossed her into the sitting area with a glare, "One of you try to wake her."
"What's wrong Danna, un?" Deidara questioned as he looked the girl over carefully.
Sasori growled, "Every time I try to wake her, she keeps trying to hit me."
Konan chuckled, "It's probably to deal with everything she's went through within the past few days."
Itachi walked over to where she lay on the couch and sighed, "We need to go get my brother. Wake up." When he got no response he sighed again, stood up, crossed his arms and eyes narrowed, then spoke louder, "Wake up Saiya."
She jumped and quickly fell off the couch in a groaning heap, "Dammit brother, why do you have to do that everytime I'm taking a nap?!"
"Brother?" he asked confused.
Saiya's head snapped up and looked at the other raven with large eyes until they registered who he was and stood slowly, "Yeah, that's the same thing my brother use to do to me when I was younger. But he had moved away when I was 17 and I haven't heard from him since."
"I say you guys are related," Deidara grumbled.
Saiya looked at the blonde, "How when I'm older than him?" That's when they remembered she was older than him as she sighed, "Well, I'm up now. Let's get this over with. I hate that creepy snake." They noticed the determined look on her face as her eyes narrowed, "I'm killing them two quicker than Madara. I'm not toying with them." She looked at Sasori and Itachi, "I just need you two to help keep Sasuke distracted once I find them. Hopefully I can catch Kabuto first and finish him, that way I'd only have to concentrate on the snake."
They nodded as she sent everyone a quick nod then left with Itachi and Sasori following closely behind until they were far enough away then pulled out a scroll she had snatched then handed it to Itachi, "Write a letter to Tsunade. Let her know we've killed Madara, the Akatsuki have disbanded, and we're going to kill Orochimaru and Kabuto, and bring your brother back. Tell her we'll have the proof she needs but don't tell her about me yet. That's going to take a bit to explain and I figured it'd be better with Ino's dad looking in my mind."
Itachi nodded and wrote quickly then whistled for a crow to show up and sent it towards Konoha. "Since we're not in the Akatsuki any longer, we should get rid of this cloaks and rings." Sasori nodded as they both shed those items, leaving them at the base of a tree where Itachi burned them quickly.
Saiya watched this quietly then thought of something, "I can give directions to the hideout but I can't run like you guys can. Itachi quickly caught her and tossed her on his back then the two men of the group took off with her telling when to turn.
Two fun-filled days later and Itachi was trying to keep Saiya from killing Sasori with her bare hands while he goaded her to try. Thankfully for the Uchiha, they reached the hideout by the beginning of the third day and were hiding far enough away. Saiya looked between the two, "If we see Sasuke first, I can freeze him so he can't attack until you guys can bind him. Just hope we find him first Itachi."
"Why?" he asked with narrowed eyes.
She frowned as she watched the entrance, "Because I've got enough chakra stored up to squeeze everyone in that base into the size of a bean if I have to."
They nodded and quietly swept through the opening, making their way through the many halls, not splitting up to keep cover over Saiya. They heard footsteps and quickly slid around a corner, waiting to see if it was one of the three. Itachi watched the hallway as Sasori watched Saiya, he eyes flashed when she could see silver hair and round glasses then grinned and snapped her fingers making him still mid-step. Sasori pulled him into the hallway with them as Saiya grinned at the panicked look on Kabuto's face, then whispered, "Goodbye creep." She slammed a fist into his chest and watched as he gasped out what air he had in his lungs and fell over. "He's not completely dead yet. But he has no air left in his lungs. Itachi, watch over us. It shouldn't take too long to change him."
He looked between the two as the red head nodded and got to work. Since his body wasn't as old as Madara's, it didn't take nowhere near as long to deal with his changes. They quickly sealed him in another scroll and took off again until they came to the doorway to what looked like a large battle room. Saiya watched Itachi narrow his eyes at the other end and Sasori tense up. She looked back in time to hear the creepy chuckle that would always make her skin crawl, "It seems you found Kabuto. What are you three doing here?"
Saiya didn't look away from the shadow across the field from them and whispered, not moving her mouth, "Can you see Sasuke?" He nodded just the slightest as she noticed a second shadow near the first and sighed as she took a small step forward, "I wanted to visit you."
"Oh?" some torches lit near the snake king, making it all the more easy for what needed to be done. "And who might you be my dear?"
She suppressed a shudder and grinned sweetly, "Saiya." That grin didn't fool Sasori or Itachi but it seemed to fool the other two as they seemed to relax the slightest bit.
"That's a beautiful name. But how did you find this place?" he asked as he began to walk towards her as she walked closer as well. Sasori followed her movements while Itachi watched his brother, who didn't seem to notice him…yet.
Saiya shrugged, "I stumbled across it traveling."
Orochimaru chuckled, "It's sad you do not have any chakra. You would have made a wonderful kunoichi. You do not seem to fear me. But that is naïve of you." He walked closer still as she did. Sasuke watched as he could see the woman clearly and blinked at the black hair that reminded him so much of his family and blue eyes that were so close to his rival's.
"How does that make me naïve?" she asked confused.
The older man laughed, "Because you will have to die now."
