Akatsuki Fundraising Idea #21


"Kazekage, sir. You have mail."

Gaara accepted the letters from his aide and began leafing through them. A large, plain envelope fell from the stack onto his desk, catching his attention. His name was printed in carefully constructed letters, as if the writer was trying to hide their identity, and where there was usually a stamp in the corner, someone had pasted a red cloud.

Growing increasingly suspicious, Gaara used his sand to open the envelope, ready to construct a barrier if it proved to be dangerous. The contents fell out onto the desk, one lone sheet of paper and a dozen photographs.

A dangerous glint entered Gaara's eyes as he stared at those photos. He stood from the desk and stormed out of the room, calling for Kankuro and the council of Elders.


"Where the hell is Deidara?" Konan yelled, storming through the building, a single sheet of paper clenched in one fist. The only answers she received were uninterested shrugs, though Kisame felt a twinge of unease, so he followed Konan on her rampage.

The door to Deidara's room slammed open, illuminating the angry Konan in the doorway.

"You blond idiot! Now, we're at war with Suna!"

"We're a criminal organization." Deidara replied, a satisfied smirk on his face, "We're at war with everyone."

"But we don't start the battles, you moron!"


Down at the gate to the city, Tobi was playing sentry, just like his Senpai had asked. There was a loud noise outside and he peered over the parapet.

"Hello, Mr Sasori, sir!" He called, waving happily, "Did you want your ring back?"


Blackmailing the Kazekage: Fail!
