"So, so far, all we know is that the demons are disappearing randomly where ever they are and someone's trying to force chakra into people's bodies?" Naruto asked quickly and Itachi nodded. "And the guy wasn't consciously doing the tattoos and had no knowledge of it?" Sai nodded. "Someone bring me some good news."

"There's a new statue." Kisame said walking into the conference room with Zetsu behind him.

"It appeared, absorbed a demon in a blink of an eye, and sank into the ground. It was an exact replica of the Akatsuki statue except there were not arms and the eyes were arranged in a different pattern."

Zetsu said quickly and he turned to Kisame who looked at his arm. "Three, four and seven tails were absorbed. If two tails went missing in that thing, they took it back out. The eye was closed."

"I'm wondering about something… If they can steal them out of thin air, can they steal me out of Naruto?" Kyuubi asked quickly. They all stopped and looked at the tiny fox on top of Naruto's head. "And if they can do that, then I suppose they have a way of keeping the chakra separate in the statue so they can collect them as they please."

"Don't worry nine tails; the seal is designed to keep the chakra flow constant. There's no possible way that all the chakra can be taken at once." Kaiyomi said reassuringly. "With your amount being the strongest I imagine it would take five hours to dissolve you from the Hokage. That would give you plenty of time to have him completely sealed off stopping the chakra completely."

"So, does any one have any ideas on what they're doing?" Naruto asked. "Any at all, because all we have right now is a bunch of information that we knows goes together but we don't know how."

"Putting things together takes time, Naruto." Itachi said slowly. "We do need to inform the eight tails Jinchuriki." Sasuke snickered quickly. "Then we'd probably need to get into contact with Nagito, he's very good at planning out strategies. We should also contact the Kazekage and get his ideas on this seeing as the two countries work closely together."

Naruto sighed quickly. "Sakura, call all of them and schedule it for two days from now. We'll have it here. Kaiyomi, could you prepare a full presentation on the burnt hearts?"

"Of course, Lord Hokage." Kaiyomi said quickly.

"Kisame, since you saw the statue, could you give a quick run down on it? Kaiyomi could give you footage of three and four tails disappearing." Kisame nodded. "Sai, I want your team to go and stake out the house, keep constant shifts, I want photos of who comes and who goes from every angle. Zetsu, could you go with them and keep a tab underground?"

"Can I get paid?"

"I don't see why not." Naruto said quickly. "I want this person captured, dead or alive. I am not dealing with another Akatsuki situation! Does everyone understand this?" The room went quiet. "You're all dismissed, except Sakura."

The room empty quickly and Naruto turned to Sakura, "two tails was captured for a time, right?" Sakura nodded. "But it's not in the statue anymore, right?" She nodded again. "And the cat's not running around anywhere in the world."

"Maybe it died." Sakura said quickly.

"Kyuubi, why aren't you captured or running around freely?"

"Because… I get your theory Naruto, just be careful with it. Last time, it meant an all out war." Kyuubi said vanishing from his head. Sakura looked up at him. "You're worried a country has the power and are manufacturing Jinchuriki aren't you?"

"It happened last time. I'm almost positive, I just didn't want to be the person bringing in news of coming war." Naruto said standing and walking over to the window, "Konoha's been through so much in the past eight years, I'll be damned if I let them suffer anymore."

Sakura got up and stood next to him. "That's why you're a good Hokage, Naruto." She quickly pecked him on the cheek and began walking out. "And before you ask, no, I haven't thought about it yet."

Naruto heard the door shut and he smiled. "She likes me."

Katsuna felt a tugging on her pant leg and looked down to see Mokuza. "Aunt Katsuna will you tuck me in?" She pulled her hands out of the dishes and wiped them off to pick him up. She walked into the living room and saw everyone. "Stressed… a lot of stress. Kaiyomi! What are you doing here?"

"Delivering bad news." She said quickly as Ruki popped out from behind her and walked over and smiled. "Hi Katsuna, you got taller."

"That's the new heels. Ruki you should probably go to bed too. Where's everyone sleeping?"

"Ruki can sleep in Mokuza's room; he has a spare bed mat in the closet." Itachi said quickly. "Kai, you can sleep in Sasuke's old room and Kisame, you can sleep on the couch."

"Oh, the lovely couch." Kisame said throwing himself down on it. "You need to get a sleeper sofa."

Sasuke pressed into the room and walked back with Katsuna taking Mokuza from her. "Hey there little guy. Don't mind if I tuck you in to, do you?"

"I like it when you tuck me in, Uncle Sasuke, can you tell me a bed time story?" Mokuza said as Sasuke set him down on the bed and took off his shoes. "I like the one about the giant snake."

"Not tonight, I have to go back to work in a little bit. I just came to say goodnight to everyone." Sasuke said laying him down and kissing him on the forehead. "I'll be back as soon as I can and then we can play with the airplanes I got you." Mokuza nodded and Sasuke patted him on the head. He turned and saw Katsuna messing up Ruki's hair on purpose as she made her get on the spare mat. "I'll see you in the morning Ruki."

Katsuna took Sasuke hand and shut off the light and closed the door. "I have to take off…"

"Can I talk to you in the bathroom for a second?" Katsuna said and dragged him in there locking it quickly. After a minute or two passed Sasuke stepped out and Katsuna passed him. "I'll be at home, you tell them." She kissed him and walked out hugging Kaiyomi and left.

Sasuke thought for a second and walked out and leaned over Itachi in his chair. "Hey Itachi, you're going to be an uncle." Itachi looked up at him for a second and smiled grabbing him and pulled him into the seat rubbing his knuckles on Sasuke's head. "Alright, let go, let go, I have to go on my mission."

"Now you've got a really good reason to come home, huh?" Itachi said. "This means no more stunts."

Sasuke shoved him off and walked out while Kaiyomi followed him with her eyes. "Wait, is my Kat pregnant?"

"I take it you haven't spoken to them in a while; they've been engaged for a bit now."
