Akatsuki Fundraising Idea #49


Kakuzu was fuming.

"Look, I never said it would pay off straight away." Hidan said lazily, ignoring his furious partner as he lounged indolently against the wall.

"You blew my money on a scheme that wouldn't pay off?" Kakuzu growled.

"Ask the little lady, you money-grubbing heathen." Hidan replied, "I'm pretty fucking sure she'll say it was "company" money?"

"What's with the air quotes?" Itachi asked quietly from his seat across the room. "You do realise they were unnecessary?"

Kakuzu mumbled, what was probably an insult towards the zealot's intelligence and mental ability, but the words were lost in the sudden arrival of a pair of singed and smoky Akatsuki-robed ninja.

"What the fuck happened to you?"

"Senpai had an accident!" Tobi declared exuberantly, happy despite the fact that his mask was crumbling around the edges. He bent down to dust some debris from his cloak and narrowly missed the blow Deidara had aimed at his head.

"The crates?" Kakuzu asked, dreading the answer. Deidara turned a hate-filled glare on him, growled angrily and stormed away. Tobi, however, cheerfully produced a charcoal-edged piece of wood with three letters stamped in red: TNT.

Kakuzu's eyes widened as he pulled at his hair, "THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT CRATE!"
