Hey everyone! So I read your guesses on who the mystery man is. They were all really good guesses! Here is the next chapter. I hope you like it!

Chapter 21

"So are you the reason why we are here, the reason why we can 'scadoo'?" Alasia asked.

"Precisely. I cannot give you any more information now but I will when the time comes. Now, sign the summoning scroll. I want you two to use the summons to take out all of Konoha's enemies out while keeping Konoha nin safe. Any wounded, I want you to take to the hospital. Got it? We won't make any big changes yet." His tone was serious, not leaving any room for questions.

They nodded and opened the scroll. They both signed the contract then closed it. "Good. I have to go now but I will be back to tell you what you have to do next soon. Good luck." Then he vanished.

"What. . . the hell just happened."

"I have no Idea." Joe slowly shook her head.

"Get a move on you two." His voice echoed around them. They turned around looking for him but he was nowhere to be seen.

"You know, I would make a joke about hearing God right now but somehow I feel like it wouldn't be a joke." Joe scratched the back of her head.

"Well we better get started then." Alasia bit her thumb, making it bleed a little and did the hand signs to for the summoning. She slammed her hand down on the ground and a huge cloud of smoke appeared. Joe leaned forward in anticipation. She couldn't help but be excited and wonder what animal they made a contract with.

When the smoke cleared, they got another surprise. There stood . . . a yellow shovel and a red bucket.

". . ."

~5 minutes later~

". . ."

"Well. . . at least we can make sand castles if we ever go to Suna. Hey! Maybe we can play with Gaara, you know when he's not all psycho and what not!" Joe chuckled. Alasia slowly stood up and walked away without looking back or saying a word.

"You know if you talk to us we could help you."

"Yeah!" The look of shock on the two ninja's faces is indescribable. They looked at the shovel and bucket only to see FACES!

"Wait a second. . . no it can't be."

"Joe. . . I think it is." The two talking objects gave the girls hug smiles and laughed.

"I'm shovel and this is pail. It's nice to meet you!"

"HOLY CRAP IT'S SHOVEL AND PAIL FROM BLUES CLUES!" Joe pointed at the two talking objects with one hand while holding her head with the other.

"No offense but what was that hooded guy thinking. How the hell is a shovel and pail going to help us fight ninja?" Alasia shook her head and sighed

~In the village~

"Crap! We need back up! All of Joe and Alasia's clones are left with the wounded and we are running out of man power!" A konoha ninja yelled to his team leader. They were currently fighting the giant snake and other enemy ninja.

"I can send for back-" another shinobi was interrupted by the sudden vibrations coming from the ground. All of the shinobi there stopped at the sound of pounding in the distance. It was coming closer at an alarming rate.

"THE FUN HAS AAA-RIIIIIIVVED!"

"Joe, you're weird."

" hehehe I know."

~Joe POV~

The look on everyone's faces when we showed up was priceless! Of course showing up on a giant blue dog would surprise anybody. No, you didn't read that wrong, we are currently sitting on a giant blue dog.

Flashback

"Don't worry! We have another form!" Shovel gleefully explained. Shovel nodded to pail then a white light surrounded them. When the light dispersed, a golden katana and blood red sheath were gleaming in the place shovel and pail just was.

"Well I'll be damned." Joe had the 'not bad' look on her face.

"We should be able to help like this." The sheath, Pail said. Alasia picked them up. She tied Pail onto her back and slip shovel inside. She then looked over at Joe and smirk with excitement in her eyes.

"Let's go."

"Wait! I want to summon something!" She bit her thumb, drawing blood and copied the hand signs that Alasia had used. She slammed her hand on the ground and with a big pop and a huge cloud a smoke, Joe found herself sitting on top of a giant blue dog.

"Wow! Looks like I'm finally summoned! Hi up there! I'm Blue!"

End of Flashback

"Hey Alasia, you ready to try out that sword of yours?" I glanced over and smirked.

"Hell yeah." She returned the smirk. Shovel and Pail started giggling in excitement.

With great enthusiasm, Alasia jumped off of Blue and started wiping the floor with the ememy. "I'll leave the snake to you!" She called out. I gave her a quick nod then turned my attention to my new companion.

"Alright Blue, Let's take this thing down." I gave her a quick rub behind her ear.

"Okay! What's the plan Joe?" She looked over her shoulder. I contemplated for a moment.

"Well for now, I want you to immobilize it. I will think of how to take care of it from there. Think you can handle that?" She turned her head toward the snake and bared her teeth, growling. "No problem." I grabbed onto her fur as she leaped into action. She really was quite vicious when in the heat of battle. She latched onto the middle head of the giant snake with her teeth as she ripped it's left head off with her claws. The scaly monster gave out a shriek that echoed over the village.

"Well looks like I don't need to worry about taking care of anything." Blue's body vibrated from her chuckle. Since it was clearly obvious she could handle the situation, I jumped off her back and joined Alasia in the frenzy. Once safely on the ground, I created more clones and immediately went into action.

"Joe! Some of my clones released. Your clones should be doing the same soon." Alasia yelled as she stabbed a guy in the chest. Just as she pulled her sword out, I got the information from my clones. It seems that the rest of the village is secured. Also Naruto and Gaara or should I say Shukaku are now fighting.

"Sweet! Let's hurry and finish this!" I maneuvered to the side, dodging a bunch of scales that came flying. "Blue be careful! You almost hit me with those damn scales!"

"Sorry!" I saw Blue take that thing down right before dodging a punch from a Shinobi from Suna. I saw an opening so I grabbed his head and shoved it into the ground.

"Retreat!" All of a sudden, the Sand ninja started running for the border. The invasion was finally come to a close.

~2 Days later~

It's the day of Third's funeral. Alasia and I sit on top the carving of his head engraved on the side of the mountain over looking the village. Down below we could see everyone gathering, mourning for the loss of a great leader, friend, family member, and teacher. It was raining that day. It seemed as though the heavens were crying. I could help but shed some tears of my own. I was glad the rain hid them.

We sat there quietly, wanting to have a moment of silence for the man we have come to know and respect. Neither of us wanted to talk in fear of ruining the moment.

Good bye old man. It was an honor to meet you. We will look after the village so no worries.

After a few more minutes, Alasia spoke. "If I remember correctly, Jiraiya should be taking Naruto to get Tsunade soon." She kept looking out over the village with a calculating look in her eyes.

"Right. That also means Itachi and Kisame should be paying a visit too." I stopped watching the villagers down below, turning to Alasia. "So what's the plan?"

"Divide and conquer."

~Next day~

~Alasia's POV~

The plan was to split up so we have someone keeping an eye on Naruto and Jiraiya and another person looking out for Itachi and Kisame. I sent Joe to find Jiraiya. I figured she would enjoy being with him and Naruto. Besides, can't have Joe running her mouth again in front of Akatsuki members. If I find Kakashi then I should be able to find Itachi eventually.

Sure enough, I found Kakashi talking to Kurenai and Asuma in front of a little restaurant and inside were two men with black cloaks with red clouds. Bingo!

"Hey Guys." Kakashi looked up and waved his hand. Both Kurenai and Asuma waved as well.

"Yo. Where is Joe? This is the first time I have seen you guys apart." Kakashi asked. Asuma and Kurenai also looked curious. I shrugged.

"She had to do something." I gave them a 'can't say what' look then quickly glanced at the two rouge nin near by. All three of them caught on. Asuma quickly changed the subject.

"So Kakashi, what are you doing here?"

Kakashi gave a quick glance behind him into the restaurant. "Nothing much. I'm here waiting for Sasuke."

"Hey Kakashi Sensei. It's unusual for you to be first." Speak of the devil. Sasuke walked toward us. He looked pretty relaxed with his hand in his pocket. If only he knew that Itachi is right there. . . or was. When I looked back into the restaurant, Itachi and Kisame were gone.

~Joe's POV~

So Alasia and I decided to split up for now. It is a less conspicuous plan then have us in two places at once using kage bunshin.

"Now if I was Jiraiya, where would I be . . . oh duh! The hot springs!" I smacked my forehead at the simplicity of the answer. So I ran over there as fast as I could to make sure I didn't miss him.

When I got there, he wasn't alone. The two old council people were there with him. I never did like those guys. I can't even remember their names

"Jiraiya, we need a strong leader and since you are one of the Sannin, we feel that you should be the Hokage." The old lady emotionlessly said.

"I object!" All eyes turned towards me as I walked up next to the Sage. "Who are you and what authority gives you the right to say anything on the matter?" The old guy sneered. The old hag nodded in agreement. I swear I saw Jiraiya roll his eyes.

I crossed my arms and cocked my brow. "I'm surprised you haven't heard of me. . . oh well if you don't know then that's too damn bad. I don't feel like talkin' " Both of them growled in annoyance. "Alright I'll tell ya geez. Don't get you panties in a bunch. My name is Joe and my partner, who isn't here at the moment, is Alasia. We are both special intel. Jounin. There should be information about us in the Hakage's office if you want to know more." I sighed.

Both of them looked at me with suspicion. ". . . Fine. Now tells us why you object the notion of Jiraiya being Hokage?" I looked over at Jiraiya, giving him a smile and a wink. "This perv wouldn't make a good Hokage. It just isn't his thing. Besides, he is too good at collection info for the village while on his travels."

"Then who would be Hokage if not him?"

"Tsunade. I can bring her here. She is just as capable as I am." The Sannin cut in. Both councilmen pondered over the idea and reluctantly agreed.

"Fine but we want AMBU to go with you." The old stupid lady informed.

"No need for that. Me and my partner can go." I gave them my best smile. I clapped my hand on the pervy-sage's back. He chuckled next to me.

"I would also like to take someone else with me if that's alright." He added.

Oh boy! Itachi is back! hahaha
