Kyuusaiha no Ranmyaku- Yeah when I came up with the story I decided to make every a darker not just Naruto.

Alexwill22- With this story you never know who will die or in what order they will die in.

Chapter11:Can't stop this crazy world spinning round

'So I was right, it is her, and by the looks of it she's a member of Akatsuki, but why the hell were those ninja after her?' Jiraiya thought as for the first time he noticed the smell of burning bodies, looking up he noticed the smoke billowing into the evening sky form the village in the distance.

'What the hell did I stumble into...' His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of muted footsteps heading towards their position at a rapid pace. Thinking quickly he noticed a small alcove of trees, deciding discretion was the better part of valor he performed some quick hand signs and disappeared, then he grabbed the woman's cloak making her vanish as well while dragging her unconscious form to the improvised hiding spot.

"What the hell do you mean the Akatsuki female was able to take out a whole team, and you lost her, she's heavily wounded she couldn't have gotten that far... fan out, take your men, and find her...now!" Lust spat in frustration, not believing how incompetent Soifon's ninja were.

"Of course Lust-sama, teams two, and four fan out, and search the forests...team one you're with me." The blacked clothed ninja ordered as he, and team one doubled back towards the still burning village.

'I have to get her back to Konoha, and Tsunade for medical treatment before she dies on me.' The toad sage thought angrily as he watched the woman who's black dress, and pale skin had been stained with blood from his hiding spot within the alcove.

"Where the hell are you little Akatsuki bitch." The Homunculus whispered while kneeling down having just noticed small droplets of fresh blood, and the faint indention on the ground which she followed with her eyes back to the small alcove.

"There you are!" Lust yelled with a psychotic grin, her purple-slitted eyes twinkling with malice while raising her right black-gloved hand extending her claws.

'Shit we've been spotted!' The toad sage thought as he performed a series of quick hand seals which transported them a half mile away the two shinobi barely escaping as her sharp black claws tore through their former hiding spot slicing through the trees, and foliage like butter.

"Damn it, looks like there wasn't anyone here after all." The Homunculus thought angrily.

'Where the hell could she have gone.' Her thoughts were interrupted as she felt Sloth approaching her location.

"What the hell are you doing Lust we have what we came for." Sloth said as she raised her purple gloved hand revealing a glowing jewel shard.

"What are you talking about we still haven't found the Akatsuki bitch yet."

"It doesn't matter, luckily for us she chose to keep the shard in the arm that you cut off, Tsubaki has already taken the one from that Pein Akatsuki back to Soifon-sama it won't be long before the fires, and smell of burning flesh attract unwanted attention ...now come on let's go." She said as she performed a one handed seal opening up a black vortex.

"Tell the rest of the ninja to pull out, and head back to the compound we're leaving." Sloth said to one of the ninja as she turned and walked through the vortex.

'Damn it, I can't believe she got away!' Lust thought angrily as she took one last look around before she too vanished into the vortex...

Jiraiya, and Konan materialized near a small lake deeper within the forest, laying the heavily injured

nukenin carefully on the ground next to him as he needed a moment to catch his breath, and assess the situation.

'Damn it she's lost a lot of blood, and chakra I have to get her to Konoha...I can't summon Gamabunta he's the size of a damn mountain, and would draw way to much attention, I know.' The white-haired man thought as he went through some hand signs, and slammed his palm onto the ground.

Suddenly they were engulfed by a huge plume of smoke which dissipated revealing an orange toad the size of a large building with red radioactive markings on it's stomach and face.

"Jiraiya-sama why have you summoned me here?"

"No time to explain, we need to get to Konoha as fast as possible."

"Alright, but you owe me a bottle of sake." The toad said as it began to hop as fast as it could in the direction of Konoha.

Kagura, and Toran watched from a small clearing just outside the village as Karan, and several of her fellow Panther-demons raced through slaughtering any, and every Ningen ( human ) they saw.

"C-Cat-demons!" An old man shouted.

"Cat demons?" She repeated incredulously.

"My friends and I are Panther-demons, How dare you lump us together with common cats!" She hissed dangerously.

"W-Why a-are y-you attacking us?" He stuttered in fear as his old bones quaked.

"We are under the orders of our mistress, Kagura...wait." The red-headed demoness paused. "Why the hell am I explaining myself to a pathetic Ningen like you anyway?" She asked herself as she drove her sharp claws through his chest.

She snapped her blood stained fingers summoning several of her fellow panther-demons to her location.

"I grow bored here, finish off the rest of the Ningen...Remember leave the buildings intact we'll use them to hide the bodies, that means no fires... we don't want to alert this Akatsuki of our presence until it is too late." With that she disappeared in a swirl of black flame reappearing next to her mistress Kagura, and her sister Toran...

"The Ningen have all been disposed of." One of the panther-demons said as they kneeled before the three demoness'.

"Excellent, you may all leave now the three of us are more than enough to take care of the Akatsuki." Kagura said, watching calmly as they all bowed before vanishing in swirls of flame.

'Now nothing left to do but wait for the Akatsuki Ningen to show up looking to collect on the bounty.'

"Man I think I may be able to collect at least sixty-thousand ryou for this fat teme ( bastard ), hell while I'm here maybe I can sell this damn jewel shard." Kakuzu said to himself as he carried the rather large man over his shoulder while approaching the small village, but stopped when he sensed something was wrong.

'I feel as though I'm being spied on.' The missing-nin from Takigakure ( Waterfall ) thought as he sped up slightly. He had managed to calm down though once he finally made it through the gates of the small village.

'This place seems like a ghost town, where the hell is everybody?' The Takigakure nuke-nin thought to himself as he headed towards the bounty station.

"I've caught a real big fish this time." Kakuzu said as he opened the door to the back room, but dropped the corpse he was carrying when he noticed the man he came to see dead on the ground in a pool of his own blood.

"Shit what the fucks going on?!" He spat as he quickly scanned the room, then began looking for any cash or other valuables.

"Well you won't be needing this where you're headed... poor teme." The masked man said as he found a small duffel bag filled to the hilt with ryou.

The green-eyed man raced out of the building, and down the dirt road that exited the small village only to stop as a huge wall of ice appeared out of nowhere blocking his path.

"Whoever is out there show yourselves...now!" He yelled out in frustration.

Suddenly three swirls of black fire appeared on top of the thick ice block revealing three demoness'.

"So you're one of the Akatsuki, I believe your names Kakuzu if I'm not mistaken?" The woman in the middle asked as her blood red eyes seemed to stare into his very soul, she wore a three-layer kimono, and earrings which were made up of a string of light green beads. Her jet-black hair was was worn up, tied by a hair band which had two small feathers attached.

"Who the hell are you?!" He spat looking at the demoness'.

"Oh how rude of me, my name is Kagura, and these are my loyal servants Toran, and her sister Karan of the panther-demon tribe."

The nukenin dropped the bag of ryou he was carrying, and took a step back narrowing his eyes slightly.

"From the look in your eyes Ningen, I see that you have heard of me." The demoness mocked causing the man to clench his fist with rage as he took on a fighting stance.

"I hear you fancy yourself an immortal, let's test that theory shall we." Kagura said snapping her right wrist dropping a small folding fan from the sleeve of her kimono into her hand.

"Shikabane-Mai." ( Dance of the dead ) She said as she unfolded the fan raising it slightly suddenly corpses all over the village started to rise, and leave the various buildings.

"What the hell?!" The nuke-nin spat as the corpses staggered slowly towards him while starring at him blankly with their now dead glowing red eyes.

"Oh I just thought I would have some of your fellow Ningen help me test just how strong you are." She said as she flicked her fan downward which immediately sent the reanimated bodies racing towards him...

The Takigakure nuke-nin was on one knee panting it had been a relatively short, but ferocious battle. Between the dead villagers, Toran's ice abilities, and Karan's fire techniques he was barely able to stitch his body back together, and replace his hearts with the hearts of the dead villagers. Worse yet he knew that they were just playing with him the whole time as that damn demoness, Kagura just kept watching him smugly from atop the thick ice wall.

"Well it seems you are rather hard to kill after all Kakuzu, but I believe I know your weakness." She said while gently flapping open her fan in front of her.

"Time to die Ningen, Ryuuja no Mai!" ( Dance of the Dragon ) She yelled waving her fan creating three localized tornadoes barely giving Toran, and Karan enough time to get out of the way before all three twisters converged onto the Akatsuki.

"Ahhh!" He yelled as the tornadoes ripped him limb from limb destroying all of his hearts at once.

"Well now, looks like you weren't as immortal as you thought." She said smugly as she jumped down, and walked over to where his shredded remains were. She bent over to pick up the jewel shard from the scattered body parts that were left behind she stood back up nodding to the two sisters as they all disappeared in swirls of black flame leaving the destroyed village behind.

A young Jounin was sitting at her kitchen table in her apartment on the fifth floor of the newly renovated apartment building in the shinobi housing district enjoying a small breakfast. Her dark eyes absentmindedly watching as people went about their daily routines as she took a bite of her buttered toast.

'I can't believe we have a jinchuuriki as our new Kage.' She thought as she ran her left hand through her short brown hair.

The kunoichi didn't have a problem with the fact that her new kage was a jinchuuriki in fact she welcomed it, she had long hated the way the village had treated Gaara in the past in fact she attributed his random psychotic rampages as a consequence of the way the village had treated him.

She had long given up on the villagers ever being able to see past their hatred of Gaara, she certainly never in her wildest dreams thought he would ever be made Kazekage, but from what she had heard through the various gossip that had spread throughout the village he had saved a woman and her son from an horrible attack by two of their own shinobi.

'Filthy animals..."

Her thoughts about the two rogue shinobi were interrupted as a figure appeared in a swirl of smoke.

"Yes, what is it...it's supposed to be my day off."

"Kazekage-sama wishes to see you in his office in thirty minutes." The nin said curtly before vanishing.

"So much for my day off." She muttered to herself as she decided to take a quick shower before going to the tower.

"Are you sure you want to do this Gaara, I mean if Suna gets caught breaking into the Hokage tower it could throw us into war..." Temari started, but was interrupted by Chiyo.

"Temari I have a long history of dealing with their new Hokage, Tsunade in the past...Trust me when I say that this so called treaty they signed with us is only temporary, their just buying time until they can rebuild their village, and replenish their ninja ranks. That woman can not be trusted she will turn on us the minute they fully regain their strength." The aged woman said with conviction.

"Sister is right you've already seen the damage Orochimaru has done to us, one of the biggest mistakes you're father ever made was trusting a Sannin, and it cost him his life as well as almost bringing Sunagakure to ruin." Ebizou added.

"Sorry Temari I have to agree with Chiyo-baasama, and Ebizou-sama on this one we have to strengthen our village in preparation for a possible war with Konoha even if it means going against your 'boy friends' village." Kankuro said with cocky smile sitting on the windowsill behind Gaara making the blond kunoichi glare over at him.

"My objection to this course of action has nothing to do with my feelings about Nara Shikamaru, and you know it...I'm just concerned about the possibility of bringing more war to this village."

"I think that it's worth the risk..." The young Kazekage spoke up for the first time. "..I'm hoping with the addition of Uzumaki into Suna's ranks it will work as an deterrent. Any village would think twice about attacking us..even Konoha."

'And it would be nice to see my friend again.' He thought to himself.

"Besides the chances of someone of Matsuri's caliber being caught are slim to none." The aged woman responded.

They stopped their conversation as they felt the chakra signature of the young Jounin right before she appeared before Gaara's desk in a puff of smoke.

"You wished to see me Kazekage-sama?" The brawn-haired kunoichi asked bowing slightly.

"Hai, Matsuri." Gaara answered in his usual monotone voice. "I have called you here because I need you for a very important mission, you are Sunagakure's top infiltration specialist are you not?"

"Hai, Kazekage-sama." She answered making Gaara nod in response.

"This is considered an S-class mission, you are to infiltrate Konoha, and find out if they have any leads or information on the possible whereabouts of a former Konoha-nin named Uzumaki Naruto, I also want you to break in, and steal his file from the shinobi records office in the Hokage tower..."

"...Excuse me Kazekage-sama, but aren't Konoha our allies, couldn't we just ask for the information besides wouldn't stealing records be a violation of the new treaty?"

"Your place is not to question the Kazekage's orders or how it effects the treaty, your only concern is how to carry them out. No one must know that you were ever there..." Chiyo snapped. "...Do you have a problem with this mission?"

"Of course not Chiyo-sama, please forgive my forwardness Kazekage-sama." She said bowing.

"It's quite alright." Gaara reassured the young kunoichi. "I would like for you to leave as soon as possible you will have a month and a half to complete your mission...as Chiyo said you are to avoid detection at all cost."

"I understand Kazekage-sama." She bowed one last time before vanishing in a cloud of smoke.

The jinchuuriki swiveled his chair around looking at his siblings

"Once we get Uzumaki's file we will be able to view his previous missions there by determining where we should concentrate our search."

"So you believe the files may contain information that might help us find the Kyubi jinchuuriki?" Ebizou asked.

"It's certainly a possibility by following his mission history contain in the files we'll find him, at the very least Matsuri should be able to find out why the Leaf would just let him leave, and if they even want him back."

Jiraiya knelt down by the blue-haired Akatsuki females side as the building sized toad sped towards Konoha as fast as it could.

'Damn maybe I should have used Gamabunta after all.' He thought as he saw Konan taking pained measured breaths. The toad sage had done all he could to treat his former pupils wounds, but the truth of the matter was that for all his accomplishments he was not a medic-nin...hell he only had rudimentary knowledge of first aid at best.

It would have taken Gamabunta only six hours to reach Konoha from Amegakure, but the toad boss was just too large and would have drawn way too much attention, this toad was smaller, but took all night, and part of the morning at top speed just to get this far.

As he looked at Konan he couldn't help but think of how they met all those years ago.

--Flashback--

A younger Jiraiya was sitting on a small bench with Tsunade on his left eating a small bundle of crackers while Orochimaru stood next to them.

"Who are you?" The toad sage asked as a boy probably no more than twelve walked up to them.

"C-Can I have some, please?"

"Where are your parents?"

"They were killed in the war." The young blond replied.

"Sure you can have some." Jiraiya replied holding the small bundle out so he could get some.

"Hey Nagato, Konan you can come out...he's not a bad guy."

"Thank you, please accept this." The young girl with blue hair said as she held up a beautiful origami rose as thanks for the food.

...

"We already gave you food , Why are you still following us!?" Tsunade yelled looking over her shoulder at the three kids.

"Teach us Ninjutsu, please...you guys are Leaf Ninja aren't you.?"

"We should kill them, and be done with it..." Orochimaru spat. "...All these kids orphaned by this war will all just suffer anyway...it would be much more merciful to just kill them, and be done with it."

The three kids took a small step back in fear.

"What the hell is wrong with you Orochimaru. Jiraiya snapped. "Look you, and Tsunade just go on ahead, I'll take care of them for a little while."

"Wha?" Tsunade started but was quickly cut off by Jiraiya.

"Just for a little while until they can take care of themselves...it's the least I can do to make things right."

...

They all sat around a small table as they let their clothes hang on a line strung in the small room.

"Time to eat!" Jiraiya yelled clapping his hands together happily.

"Wow so you can cook a whole fish in one shot with fire Jutsu?" Yahiko asked excitedly.

"Jiraiya-sensei I remember the special fishing trick you taught us...What's wrong Nagato?" The energetic blond asked.

"This reminds me of my family and..."

"...Stop crying damn it!" The Yahiko spat."...Everyone will think Amegakure is full of cry babies."

The blond continued slamming his chopsticks down on the table.

The toad sage sighed. "Look the war between the three countries surrounding Amegakure can't last forever...I hope when you're older the other countries will have settled their differences, and their will be piece."

"That's crap!..They killed our families...We have to have our revenge!" Yahiko spat venomously.

"It always rains here, and I hate it...I'm going to be strong, and protect everyone! Please Jiraiya-sensei, Train Us!!"

...

Jiraiya was deep in thought when Konan came bursting through the door.

"Jiraiya-sensei, Help Yahiko, and Nagato are in trouble!" She yelled desperately.

She lead him to the sight of a fallen shinobi...

"I brought Sensei!"

"Yahiko, what happened?"

"Th-The refugees...t-tried to take our money, and food...Nagato...he killed him."

'Those eyes!...It couldn't be...the boy has, the ripple like pattern... the eyes are one of the three great Doujutsu...The Rin'Negan! He thought amazed.

--End Flashback--

After that day he had decided to train the three, several months later he left them having been confident that they were able to take care of themselves.

'Konan, you truly have become quite beautiful...just hang on we're almost to the hospital.' He thought as the building sized toad jumped over the gates hopping towards the hospital.

The doctors and nurses were all going about their morning shifts when all of the sudden the whole building shook making them all rush to the windows.

"Jiraiya-sama?" A doctor said opening a window.

The toad sage jumped through holding the injured woman as the giant toad vanished in a large puff of smoke.

"Someone get Tsunade here now!" He yelled hoping it wasn't too late.

"Hokage-sama come to the hospital quick,Jiraiya-sama has brought in a wounded shinobi!" A female chuunin yelled interrupting her morning paperwork.

"Shizune follow me!" The buxom blond ordered as they took off for the hospital.

xxxxxxxxxx Konoha hospital xxxxxxxxxx

As the doctors, and nursing staff were feverishly buzzing around the gurney performing diagnostic tests on the injured nukenin when suddenly her whole body started to spasm. Luckily Tsunade had just burst into the room with Shizune close behind.

"What's happening, is she going to be alright?" The toad sage asked moving to her side.

"Out of the way Jiraiya!" The Godaime said pushing him out of the way.

"She's going into shock!" Tsunade yelled as she began to bark orders while her hands began to glow as she started to try to save the Nukenins life as the toad sage quietly left to go wait outside.

xxxxxxxxxx Hospital waiting room two hours later xxxxxxxxxx

"How is she?" Jiraiya asked earnestly as the Tsunade, and Shizune walked into the waiting room, both women looking exhausted.

"We managed to stabilize her for now... she's in a coma, but as a precaution I've ordered an ANBU squad stationed outside her room." The Godaime replied.

"How long do you think she'll be in a coma?"

"It's hard to say." The blond started as she craned her neck from side to side trying to work the kinks out. "Could be a week could be several months. What the hell happened?"

"Perhaps we should discuss this in your office." Jiraiya suggested not wanting to discuss this in a public place. "Shizune can you get Sarutobi-sensei, and have him meet us there."

"Hai, Jiraiya-sama." She bowed slightly as she went to get Sarutobi.

xxxxxxxxxx Hokage tower xxxxxxxxxx

Tsunade had just poured herself, and Jiraiya some sake when their sensei walked into the office fallowed by Shizune.

"So what's this I hear about you racing through the village with a wounded nukenin?" The elderly shinobi asked as he sat down in front of Tsunade's desk taking a puff of his pipe.

"Yes Jiraiya, what the hell happened, and is that young woman who I think she is?" His old teammate, and fellow Sannin asked.

"Yes Tsunade, that was Konan, and she is a member of Akatsuki...as for what happened, Amegakure has been completely destroyed."

Gasps were heard from the other three occupants in the room at the toad sages revelation.

"How, who?" The Godaime asked shocked. I mean sure Amegakure wasn't one of the five major shinobi villages, but still to be completely wiped out.

"Do you know who it was?" Sarutobi asked not quite believing his ears.

"Funny you should ask that sensei." Jiraiya responded as he went over to Sarutobi's old crystal ball that sat on top of Tsunade's desk. He Performed a set of hand signs then grabbed the sides lifting it up, and let his chakra flow into the orb which projected an image of the toad sages memories.

"That's the woman that killed the Chuunin, and attacked me in Naruto's old apartment." He gasped as his pipe fell out of his mouth onto the floor.

"Yes, and as you can see she wasn't alone."

"This changes everything we have to tell the council, and put the village on hire alert, they might be after the Biju...What if they come here again looking for info on Naruto we have to take precaution."

"I agree." Sarutobi said reluctantly. "This is far to serious to keep hidden."
