Yugito slowly opened her eyes as she woke up. Immediately she realized that she was in a hospital, knowing well what happened after she passed out. She tried to move but flinched in pain.

"Whoa there Yugito, you got some nasty burns." A familiar voice spoke. Yugito moved her head as she saw non other then her best friend killer Bee.

A faint smile came across her face. "Hey there."

Bee sat closer to her. "Don't move so much Yugito. You got some nasty burns but the tailed beast power is healing you like nothing."

Yugito had to laugh a bit. "Did your rapping skills deteriorate to the point were you decided to speak normally?"

"No." Killer Bee answered with a serious look on his face. It was a face that Yugito didn't like in the slightest. Bee was always the guy who cheered her up, was always there for her. They went together through hell as kids but he always smiled for her.

Yugito sat up in her bed. "What's wrong Bee? Did something happen?"

The eight tailed jinchuuriki let out a sigh. "You were hurt Yugito and I wasn't there. I can't live with the thought of you being seriously injured and I'm not there to help. We are jinchuuriki, people are hunting us."

Yugito placed her hand on his hand. "Bee. You can't protect me always, the only way for us to never let this happen again is to become stronger together. I however can't get stronger without that smile of yours, so please. Smile for me."

Bee smiled before jumping up. "Yeah! The jinchuuriki two and eight, Yugito and killer bee. We will fight and defeat all the hate, together we won't miss a beat. Wheeeeee!"

Yugito had to laugh as Bee returned to his normal self.

While the two continued to laugh the door suddenly open. Both jinchuuriki saw how Kaguya and Yagura entered the room. The three tailed jinchuuriki however didn't look like he should be out of bed, he was walking on crutches and most noticeable was white bandage around his torso.

"Yugito my child, are you feeling alright?" Kaguya asked in a sweet motherly voice.

Yugito nodded to wich Kaguya smiled. "That's good to hear, could you and bee help me? We are moving."

Itachi and Danzo were starting at each other in the eyes as all remained silent. Behind the old war hawk were his loyal Shinobi. Behind Itachi, the four tailed jinchuuriki holding a basically nude injured girl in his arms.

Danzo simply gave his cane to one of his minions. "Last chance Itachi. Give back the girl and walk away."

Tayuya dreaded to think what would happen to her once she gose back into that prison. She clutched herself closer to Roshi. The jinchuuriki noticed that and also held her closer. The Akatsuki member simply took a step forward. "You can try to intimidate me as much as you want, but simply having a sharingan will not be enough to defeat me."

"We will see." With those words Danzo started to run towards Itachi. He didn't wait for a moment but suddenly stopped half way there. Itachi shook his head and walked towards Danzo.

"How foolish. You stared me directly into my eyes and didn't think of me doing this?" Itachi stopped in front of Danzo and took out one of his kunai.

With one simple movement he stabbed Danzo directly into his throat. Blood immediately started to flow out of his wound. "Never underestimate the Uchiha."

Suddenly Itachi felt a stabbing pain in his side. It was like his eyes deceived him, the Danzo before him dematerialized and another Danzo re appeared next to were the first one was. The only difference was that this Danzo had his own kunai plunged in Itachi side. "The Hubris of the Uchiha is truly incredible."

Itachi jumped away and was holding his side. How did Danzo manage that? Was Itachi trapped in a illusion? No that's impossible. Did Danzo manage to avoid his tsukoyomi? No he was definitely trapped, but it was like he rewrote reality.

Itachi looked at Danzo's sharingan, it was still intact. The only jutsu Itachi knew of that rewrote reality was Izanagi, but that required to blind a sharingan for a longer period of time. "The only logical conclusion is that you have a jutsu that reverses the use of illusions against you."

Danzo simply laughed. "Maybe but i would be more concerned about yourself. I mean that was a pathetic stab, are you feeling sick?"

Itachi was actually feeling a little bit sick for a while but now wasn't the time to think about it. Since illusions will be useless he'd have to return to more traditional ways of fighting.

Itachi took his kunai again and charged towards Danzo, who simply smirked. Itachi started of with a kick but was surprised that his opponent didn't block, he simply let himself get hit.

Like last time Danzo disappears into nothing and suddenly Itachi felt a sharp pain in his back. He looked behind him to see Danzo with a kunai stabbing Itachi. "Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is the kidney or the liver?"

Itachi was unable to move as Danzo started to twist the knife. "I was wrong. This is Izanagi, but how?"

Danzo chuckled. "I was worried you'd figure it out after my first time using it but I'm glad you didn't. If you did figure it out sooner you might've been able to defeat me."

Danzo nodded at his subordinates who simply walked past Itachi towards the jinchuuriki. Itachi growled in anger. "Roshi! Take her and run!"

Roshi was holding her close while Tayuya was shaking in his arms. He was stuck in a dilemma. Save Tayuya and leave Itachi behind or try to fight and potentially save them both or lose everything. "I can't leave you!"

"Yes you can! Go!" Itachi screamed. He was planning on using the Susan'o once Roshi got out of harms way. It was loud and dangerous, Danzo couldn't get to him and everyone in the village would focus on him while the Akatsuki and jinchuuriki could get away.

Danzo moved closer to Itachi and let go of the kunai. He walked around him and bend down. "Now. I believe you have something I want."

Danzo moved closer to Itachi's eyes when suddenly a white clay caterpillar came from the ground and wrapped itself around Danzo. Only a second later, iron sand wrapped around Danzo.

Itachi looked up to see a white clay bird above there head. it was hard to see who was sitting on it but suddenly black tendrils came down and grabbed Itachi, Roshi and Tayuya. Kakuzu pulled them on the bird were Sasori, Deidara and kisame were already seated.

As everyone was on bored the pice of art, it started to gain altitude. Just as they were far enough away the blond artists detonated the art that was holding Danzo. The explosion was powerful but the iron sand cage muffled the explosion.

Kisame smirked and turned to Itachi. "Did you really think I would let you die without me at your side? I'm honestly hurt."

Itachi smiled but noticed that Deidara wasn't flying away from the village , he was flying toward the Hokage mountain. "What's going on? Didn't we plan on running away?"

Sasori looked over to Tayuya who was still held closer by Roshi. "If our plan works. We won't have to."

—

It didn't take long as the bird slowly descended back to the ground. As it disappeared the rest of the Akatsuki and jinchuuriki approached them with Tsunade and the third Hokage. kisame helped his wounded partner.

Nagato was the first to approach Itachi. "Next time could you wait for a plan before heading to a suicide mission? we have Hidan for those."

"Aw come on! Am I just a laughing stock of the fucking group?!" Hidan screamed.

Itachi bowed down to Nagato. "I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

Kisame let out a howl of laughter. "Better Not or your mother is going to kick my ass."

Itachi was confused before Konan explained. "Your mother came to us and demanded to speak to you. When we told her we didn't know were you went she started to threaten kisame."

"How did you find me?" Itachi asked confused.

"Shark nose. I just can't get enough of the smell of blood." Kisame said while tapping his nose.

Now the current Hokage joined the conversation. "I'm sure Danzo won't be pleased about this conversation so we should hurry and hope this works."

As the whole group Walked along the Hokage mountain Itachi could only watch confused. Everyone except for him, Roshi and Tayuya seemed to know what's going on. "Were are we going?"

The former Hokage explained. "We figured the only way to actually keep the Akatsuki and jinchuuriki here and safe would be for a clan to adopt your group, taking you in and making you a part of it. However no clan head would allow something like that, but then your friend Sasori and Kakuzu came up with a plan."

The group continued until they came to a small statue that seemed to be part of the mountain. It appeared to be a old small man with a spiral on his forehead. It was so unwell kept and covered in vegetation that Itachi never actually registered that something like this was here.

Kakuzu walked up to the small statue and began to explain. "Many years ago I had the mission to kill the first Hokage. Naturally I wanted to prepare and infiltrated the village to gain information. During that time i noticed that the Uzumaki clan was extremely secretive and barely showed themselves and even if they did they just disappeared again. They didn't have a clan estate nor actually houses were Uzumaki lived, I wasn't even aware that they had a crest. They were like ghosts."

Tsunade walked up to the statue and rested her hand on its forehead. The mark glowed for a moment before simply returning to normal. "My mother was a Uzumaki and explained to me the secret of this statue. This is the image of the founding father of the Uzumaki clan and he awaits the touch of a pure blood Uzumaki to call the clan back to life."

The third Hokage walked next to Tayuya. "The Uzumaki were a wise and important clan but they believed that there generation wasn't ready to step out of the secrecy. They hoped that one day a pure blood Uzumaki will return and awaken the clan as there leader."

Everyone was looking at Tayuya. "I-I don't understand. Me, a clan head?"

Nagato nodded. "Apparently in the older times half blooded Uzumaki like the current Hokage, Naruto and myself were welcomed but now only you can open the door to this secret."

Tayuya looked up to Roshi who was still holding her. The jinchuuriki nodded before walking over to the statue. Nervously she placed her hand on the statute. It glowed for a moment before returning back to normal.

As Tayuya put her hand away the statue started to crumble to dust. It was silent for a moment before the mountain rumble for and a large gate open were the old statue once stood. It led into the mountain and pure darkness as a wind was howling.

Nagato walked up to Tayuya who was still completely shocked. "Now then Tayuya Uzumaki, will you allow the Akatsuki to be put under your service?"

Tayuya only nodded without really knowing what was happening. Kisame spoke up. "Now then, I believe we can discuss this another time. For now, let's get inside and see what we will work with."

The group of Akatsuki and jinchuuriki slowly moved into the unknown darkness of the Uzumaki clan. Tsunade turned to her old teacher. "Do you really believe it's wise to leave them with the secrets of the Uzumaki?"

The old man smiled. "They may be a group of criminals, but deep down they all carry there own dreams. Those dreams will be the light that will change the world. I just hope I get to see it before my time."

—

The group continue to walk in this absolute darkness. And step after another they all got closer to one another, afraid to lose each other in the darkness. After a moment Sasori pulled up his arm and let a small flame to illuminate the path.

It was a stone man made hallway with carving and torch hilts on the walls. Refilling them would probably be priority if they decide to stay.

The wide hallway continue as they slowly saw light at the end of the tunnel. Fuu looked at the rest of the group. "Wait a minute, light? We should still be somewhere in the middle of the mountain."

The moment they reached the end everyone was shocked in awe at the sight before them. As the tunnel ended a short wide wooden bridge was before them that led over a small pond and to the front door of a humongous mansion, the Uzumaki clan estate. the source of the light were lanterns that hovered around and illuminated the entire cave. The group saw that the lanterns hovered behind the mansion, indicating that there is more.

"Incredible." Kakuzu said as he started to walk to the front door. The group followed and opened the well decorated door. As they entered they were greeted with a comfortable corridor and a ungodly amount of dust.

Nagato clapped his hands together. "Alright everyone. It seems like this will be our new home now, so let's all get ready to clean up and make ourselves comfortable."

Kaguya and Konan walked up to Roshi and Tayuya. "We will take care of her now."

Tayuya flinched. "Why? I think he took care of me quite well."

Konan smiled. "That might be true but we just wanted to look around with you for some clothes, unless you want to stay half nude in his arms."

Both Roshi and Tayuya blushed as they followed the two females deeper into the mansion.

"Hidan. We will start cleaning and seeing if the mansion is still intact. Time might have left some damages." Kakuzu simply commanded.

"Fucking fine." Hidan sighed in annoyance.

Fuu and Han followed them. "Let us help."

Deidara walked up to Gaara. "Hey, want to help me understand these lanterns?"

Yugito nudged killer bee. "Let's look around a bit, maybe we will find something interesting."

Nagato decided to follow them in case they find something more dangerous.

Kisame grabbed Itachi and Yagura. "Sasori. I'm looking for a temporary medical room if I don't find a actual one. Could you help me with these two?"

"Of course. Give me a minute." Sasori replied before turning to Utakata.

The six tails jinchuuriki looked quite happy at this new home. It had space, it was out of sight from the public eyes and you couldn't hear the noise from the city. "This is actually quite nice."

Sasori sighed. "Actually I was hoping you could help me in a delicately matter."

Utakata looked up. "What do you mean? A special mission for me?"

The puppet master nodded. "Yes. You see we might be part of a clan now but the rest of the clan heads might still oppose to the resurrection of the Uzumaki clan, especially Danzo. Basically we need proof that we are on there side."

The six tailed jinchuuriki simply blew some bubbles. "Can't you send someone els like Gaara or Han?"

"Ryuuzetsu." Sasori simply said.

That name made Utakata remember that girl he met so long ago. It was one of the first missions we had with the Akatsuki and the jinchuuriki. "What?"

"In order to gain the trust of the village we should attack Orochimaru somewhere at one of his main camps. Ryuuzetsu is my expert regarding his hideouts." Sasori explained.

"I still don't understand what I'm supposed to do." He asked confused.

"She asked for my help to infiltrate the Blood prison of Hoozuki Castel, a cesspool of dangerous criminals. The only thing more dangerous there then the inmates are the jailers who are just as twisted as the men they watch. I do not know why she wanted to go there but she hasn't returned." The puppet master finished.

Utakata though for a moment before blowing some more bubbles. "So were is that prison?"
