Tsunade's Pov

I couldn't get information from Naozumi on where he went for that medicine but I believe Y/n had taken it before, she once mentioned she was running low to me by accident. So I have to research what it is Y/n has. I also have a mission but I hope it's not too difficult for her, maybe I should send someone else….

"You called?" Too late. I nod to Y/n. "I got a mission, simple stealth and information gathering." She nods, "Give it to me." She states and I hand her a scroll. Reading it over she shows no reaction whatsoever, "Just try to gather information on the Akatsuki?" I nod, "That's not too much is it?" She shakes her head, "Of course not."

"Oh if you can too, try to find out who the Cloaked Warrior is." She nods, "Sure. Anything else?" I think, "I guess if you have time, I'm sending Team Guy out to the Star Village." She nods again, "Got it."

Y/n's Pov

3 missions, only a few days, yeah, that's fine, nothing to worry about, I got this. I think with a sigh as I prepare my stuff, Guess it's sorta my fault but oh well. I finish getting ready and start out the door when…

"Y/n!" I turn to find Shisui and Yahiko looking at me, "What guys? I'm kinda pressed for time right no-"

"Take us with you!" Yahiko says, "We're bored." I facepalm, "Right, right." I take a breath, "Anyone else wanna hitchhike?!" I yell and but of course…

"Hmm~?" I sigh, "Hey Takashi. Naozumi." I greet as their heads poke out of their rooms, after that story with Itachi and everything… do I really want to being Naozumi-nii with me to the Akatsuki?

"What's going on Y/n?" Naozumi asks and I jump slightly, "Oh I'm just going out on a quick mission…" I respond and he nods, "I take it these two are coming along?" I sigh and nod, "Well why not a team of 4." He asks and I shrug, "So you're coming too?" He nods and I roll my eyes, "Fineeee."

"Oh wow, just assuming I'm not tagging along?" Takashi asks and we all nod, "Yes." We all reply. He chuckles, "Rude. But correct."

"Then let's goooo!" I say and the 3 all nod, "Bye you lot~" Takashi waves.

"Don't burn down my house." I reply and Yahiko lets out a snicker as we walk out the door. I look at Naozumi-nii, Shisui and Yahiko, "Ok, so mother gave me like 3 things to do."

"Didn't you just get better?" Yahiko questions and I nod, giving a small shrug, "So what?" He shrugs, putting his hands behind his head, "Nevermind~" I giggle, "Sure Yahiko, sure." Naozumi-nii looks over, "Sooo, what is this mission?" He questions and they all look at me expectantly, "Oh… Yeah…" They all facepalm, "Really?"

"It's me." I state, "Ok so first we're going to the Akatsuki base." Naozumi-nii gives a small look of worry, "Something up?" I ask and he shakes his head, "N-No, of course not." I nod, "Uh-huh." I say not believing a word that came out of his mouth and the look on my face said that. He chuckles nervously, "What are we doing at the Akatsuki base?" He questions and I roll my eyes, "We're gathering intell." They all nod, "Easy."

"NO YOU CAN'T BE CAUGHT!" I say looking at a guilty looking Yahiko. Said orange haired boy chuckles, "Alright, alright."

"Second part?" Naozumi-nii asks, "Oh… Well try to figure out who the cloaked hero is… but, hey, we also need to help Naruto so, that's just a side thing."

"Just a side thing?" Naozumi-nii questions, "Really, Y/n?" I nod, "Yup!" Shisui and Yahiko know, so they better keep their darn mouths shut. I think look sideways at the two, who seemed very interested in the buildings we were passing.

3rd Pov

Shisui and Yahiko knew what secrets both siblings were keeping from each other. And they best hope they keep their mouth shut, at least until the end of this mission. And hope that the word doesn't get out before then.

"So the Akatsuki…. do we even know where to look?" Naozumi asks and Y/n shrugs, "I have a few hunches." He nods, "Better that than nothing… like I've got." Shisui sighs silently looking between the two, This is just sad… Yahiko nods looking at Shisui, No kidding. Both boys look to the siblings, "Y/n, lead on." She nods and pulls out a scroll, "So there could be bases here, here and here." She points to different parts on a now reveled map.

Naozumi points to the base he was at, then guides his finger around to the others, "Where do we check first…?" He asks looking at the map with at least 17 different marks. Y/n points to the mark next to the actual base, "I want to check this area first. If not, we go here." She drags her finger to the opposite side. Internally Naozumi jaw drops, Gotta think of something. She'll barely miss it, but if she realizes I know where it is…. His mind thinks, while Y/n is worrying about similar things, I don't want to go to the otherside…. So if I just 'accidentally run across' the base….

They should just talk to each other. Shisui thinks looking sideways. Yahiko shrugs slightly, This makes it more entertaining. Shisui nods, But once they find out, Y/n'll know we knew-

Eh, worth it. Yahiko thinks back with a smile. Shisui rolls his eyes, Alright, alright. "Uhh… guys?" Y/n asks, giving them a quizzical look, "What do you think?" They both blink, "Err…." Y/n sighs and shakes her head, "Never mind let's just get going." Shisui gives Yahiko a playfully punch with a small glare and a smile. With that everyone jumps off, into the trees, vanishing as if no one was there in the first place.

Naozumi's Pov

So I'm thinking of just looking a little 'too far' off and finding the base… but I don't know. What if Y/n has us stick together…. No I can just 'use the bathroom' or something. I think, mind racing as we reach the first point.

Y/n's Pov

What if I put the points to far off…. Maybe I'm trying too hard, normally you should check the nearby points first then go further away… Gosh i'm stupid sometimes. I think and look to the others, "Change in plansss." I say with a goofy smile, trying to hide any and all embarrassment. The three of them stop and look at me, "Heh?"

"I-I was still not fully thinking… soo basically, we just check out all the points on the way, and nearby. So we just search around, just incase." Everyone facepalms at me, "Brilliant." Shisui mocks, "Oh by the lord, how ever did you think of that one~?" Naozumi-nii says with a chuckle.

"Well if you lot are so smart, then why didn't you mention it earlier!" I pout crossing my arms with a small blush. Naozumi-nii puts his hands up in defence, "Hey, hey, I'm not saying I thought of it!" I roll my eyes, "Well then, let's just go!" I say, shooting them all a small glare.

We eventually reach the original spot that I had designated to search first, "Okie groups of 2 or separate 1 by 1 searches?"

"1 by 1 searches." Naozumi-nii states, "It'll be faster. We can take care of ourselves." I nod, "Right! Let's go!" They all nod and jump off in different directions. I sigh, OK… this way… I start off towards the original marked point, Easy… easy… I look around do a 'thorough' look around and start off towards the actual base. That is until I noticed Naozumi-nii very near it. I blink a few times and watch him as he looks around, but seems like he knows what he's doing. Maybe he does! No...no… how could he?

I jump down besides him. He seemed intently focused on other things, until I tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped and hit me right in the gut. My eyes widen and I let out a small cough, his eyes widen as well, "Y/n?!"

"S-Sorry… g-geez... d-didn't think you could hit t-that hard…" I mutter. He looks me over, "I'm so so sorry! I-I didn't know it was you! I thought you were one of the members or something!"

"Haven't you heard of LOOK BEFORE YOU HIT- or are you the reason grandma had a broken arm?!" I say with a roll of my eyes. He sighs, "You never knew grandmothe-"

"NOT THE POINT!" I flick him, "Honestly." He smiles nervously, "Nevermind that. Do you sense the chakra from here?" I nod, "Well it's hard to miss-"

"Well, would you two like to come in?" We both jump and turn to find Pein behind us. Well schist. "Hey, Naozumi…. Did you mask your chakra?" I ask through gritted teeth. He shakes his head, "Oops?" Pein takes us both by the arm and drags us inside forcefully. As soon as we got in, all heads turned to us.

3rd Pov

The tension in the air was great. Everyone noticed it. But it wasn't between the Akatsuki members and Y/n's team. It was between Y/n and Naozumi. And maybe a bit between Naozumi and Zetsu. Shisui and Yahiko had shown up after a very… urgent message from Y/n. Silence. Stares. And finally someone speaks.

"What were you doing sneaking around, un?" Deidara breaks the silence and looks at the leaf ninja.

"We weren't. We were wanderin-" Naozumi starts. Only to be cut off by Pein, "No. You were talking about chakra and finding us." The orange haired man states.

"And your group looks the size of a mission." Kisame adds, grinning. Y/n shoots him a glare, most of the tension between siblings gone, but more between the groups. And by tension, it means awkwardness. And oh have the awkwardness levels been maxed out.

"Hey guys," Y/n starts. Everyone looks at her, "I'm gonna go out on a limb and sayyy… we need to talk." Pein nods calmly as Shisui and Yahiko nod rapidly.

"First, let's start off with who are these two? We already know Naozumi and Y/n." Pein says taking a seat. Y/n smiles nervously, "Of course, right, names… uhh." Good job idiot, create fake names. FORGET THE FAKE NAMES! GOOD F'n JOB! She think mentally.

"I'm Gray~" Shisui says and winks, "I remember~" She glares, No really? "And I'm Finnian." Yahiko states with a small smile. Pein eyes him as Itachi eyes Shisui and Y/n stands there deadpanning, "Sooo we'll be on our way now-" Y/n says inching towards the door way only to be stopped.

"I think not." A cold curt voice cuts in. It's a *curse words* Zetsu, "I would like to continueour chat, Naozumi."

"Umm… continue?" Y/n asks curiously. Naozumi smiles nervously, "Well… I don't know what he's talking about." Zetsu chuckles, "What, you came to us about… two days ago?" Naozumi shakes his head, "W-Wrong person!"

"That's enough!" Pein says, getting everyone's attention, "I will talk with Y/n. Alone." Surprisingly, everyone agreed. Y/n cause… it's Y/n. Naozumi because he trusted Pein more than anyone else and Shisui and Yahiko because they just know. Y/n walks behind Pein and he shuts the door behind them, "So what are you actually doing here?" He questions. She smiles sheepishly, "Secret. On a mission. Not much."

"Will it affect us in any way?" He questions with a sigh, "Probablyyyyyyyy~" Y/n drags out the word, "But it's me, nothin much you can do, right?" Pein tilts his head, "Well that's debatable."

"How so?" Y/n questions. He sits on his desk, "Well, I understand you're strong and so is… Naozumi. But what of the other two?" Y/n smirks, "You wouldn't dare hurt them if I told you who they really were, Nagato."

"Is that so? Well should you 4 get going?" He questions and Y/n nods. He gets up, "So did your brother not mention coming here to get you medicine? He mentioned to us you were a Jinchuriki too."

"He. Did. What?!" Y/n seeths. Pein makes a face that says, 'Oh dear', "I take it, you had no idea of this visit?" Y/n nods slowly, "It does explain a lot. And it makes sense. He's basically the only one that knows Zetsu-" Y/n coughs harshly, "Anywayssssssssssss, I'll be right back…" Y/n bolts out of the room and grabs Naozumi's arm, "Let's go talk." She hisses.

~A Few Moments Earlier with Naozumi~

Naozumi's Pov

Listen, I trust Y/n to deal with herself enough… but… I look at Zetsu with a glare but he just gives a smirk, "You really didn't tell her?Wooowww, what a great guy~ Finally get to see your sister again and everything~"

"Shut up! I don't want to hear it from you." I keep glaring, "Plus I'll tell her eventually." Zetsu chuckles, "Doubt you'll have to." He states.

Just then Y/n comes shooting out of Pein's office and grabs my arm, "Let's go talk." She states. I blink unsure of what just happened as I'm dragged out by my little sister.

~Back to Current time~

3rd Pov

"Oi! You came here to get medicine?!" Y/n shouts as they exit hearing range of the other's. Naozumi's eyes widen, Zetsu better not be able to see the future! "What?! No!" Y/n stares at his face for a few seconds as Naozumi puts up a nervous smile.

"Liar! You always sucked at lying!" She says poking his chest with each word. He backs up with each poke, "I'm not… lying…"
