Akatsuki

Her eyes snapped open as she stood. She was stuck in a cell of some sort. She held her hand out towards the bars and a strong blast of wind knocked them down.

"Pathetic." She walked out into the dark hallway and waited for a breeze.

Tsunade looked over a scroll on her desk. She was trying to figure out what Orochimaru had down with Setsuko.

"Any luck?" She shook her head at Kakashi's question. Kakashi, Jiraiya, and she had been pouring over all the forbidden scrolls they could find. Nothing. Finally she looked up at her door. Naruto burst through and barely missed running into Kakashi and Jiraiya.

"Baa-chan!" He yelled with hope in his eyes.

"Did you find something?" Kakashi asked.

"Hai! I was with a toad, looking for Setsuko!"

"Did you find her?" Tsunade asked. Naruto shook his head.

"No, but the toad asked who I was looking for and I told him. When I told him that demon's name, he freaked out! He said she only liked things related to wind and she didn't like those who knew her past. He said that I would have to find someone Bensha can't do anything to." Jiraiya sighed.

"Naruto, I don't think that helps. Who would know about Bensha? Not even the forbidden scrolls mention it." Jiraiya muttered. Tsunade was deep in thought as she tried to use the new information.

"Are you sure?" Naruto whined.

"We've looked over all the scrolls. Nothing." Kakashi answered quietly.

"No we haven't." Tsunade yelled. "The forbidden scroll of the Uzumaki!"

Bensha sent a blast of wind towards him. This time she made sure not to look him in the eye. It was almost impossible so she ended up closing her eyes and listening to the wind. Wherever it told her to attack, she attacked.

"So the mighty Bensha is here at last?" She knew that voice. It was the same as the one that tried to summon her. Bensha leapt away from the man with strange eyes and opened her eyes in the direction of Orochimaru.

"You upset the plans the wind had set out. You endanger the life of a Uindo Bensha. And once more, you believe you have the right to summon me. That you matter so? It offends me." Bensha held out her hand only for it to be caught by Itachi.

"Orochimaru is part of the Akatsuki. He has brought you back for a reason. To serve the Akatsuki." Bensha tried to close her eyes but she felt her body slowly being taken over. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her own shadow being connected with another.

"I am Bensha. I do not answer to anyone. I only answer to the wind."

"So, where are the scrolls?" Kakashi asked. Naruto fidgeted.

"Ummm . . . Setsuko said somethin' about locking them up. She said Kyuubi endangered the scrolls and village." Naruto muttered. Tsunade shook her head and sighed.

"Do you know where she kept them?" Naruto only shrugged. Kakashi closed his eyes in thought while Jiraiya yelled at Naruto for not noticing things better. Tsunade grumbled about Setsuko being paranoid while Naruto started to insult Jiraiya. Kakashi felt his eyebrow twitch. There was a crashing sound from Tsunade throwing a paperweight at Jiraiya and Naruto. The two began to argue with Tsunade. Another twitch. Naruto started to yell about pervert-sensai. Jiraiya yelled about brats who didn't know a thing about good writing. Another twitch. Tsunade yelled about staying away from the bathhouse. Another. Jiraiya yelled about gambling.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kakashi screamed. "I'M TRYING TO THINK!!!!!!!!!" A dead silence followed. Kakashi opened his eye(s?) and looked at the scene before him. Naruto had been waving his arms about frantically, Jiraiya had just ducked from flying paperweights, Tsunade had been rolling up her sleeve as she had marched towards the two. All three stared at him. "Sorry." He muttered before he went back to thinking.

"Orochimaru! Why should we allow this weakling to join us?" They were talking about her. Nine of them. She didn't bother to look at him. Merely glare ahead.

"She is the Uindo Bensha!"

"She is weak. Each Uindo Bensha had been weak willed and foolish. They follow the wind without a second thought of the effects. Their power is limited and never have they lived long. She is useless!" She felt a vein pulse in her forehead.

"SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Bensha screamed. "Humans shall never understand the wind. They are weak and petty. The wind is something beyond you. You will never know the wind. It is a right only for the Uindo Bensha. I've seen thousands of humans try to fight the wind. All destroyed. Humans are fragile. Both physically and mentally. They can never handle the power given by the wind."

Kakashi pulled up the mattress and look underneath it. After a few minutes of searching he let it drop. His sharigan eye blazed as he scanned the walls. His only idea to where the scrolls might be was somewhere in Setsuko's line of sight. Somewhere she wouldn't let people go near unless there was no other choice. The only place he could think of was her room. She nearly killed him the time he tried to look in her room while they were looking for Naruto. Tsunade had made sure that Jiraiya did not go through her clothes. She herself went through them while Naruto kept an eye on Jiraiya. Kakashi ran a hand through his hair as he sighed. Nothing. He looked over at a mirror on his wall. His face scrunched up in thought. The reflection on the mirror. It was of another mirror's reflection. He looked back to that mirror. It was of another mirror. Kakashi looked at the reflections. They were all of the same thing. Down in the courtyard, the fountain.

"Jiraiya-sama," Jiraiya looked up. His eyes followed Kakashi's before he looked out at the fountain.

"I'll go see." Tsunade looked up at Kakashi along with Naruto. She caught sight of it before waiting. Jiraiya landed in the courtyard. He made his way over to the fountain and inspected it. After a few minutes he found a loose stone on the ledge of the fountain. He grasped it and yanked it out, causing the water to let out a blinding light from the sun. The room Kakashi, Tsunade, and Naruto stood in was lit up, causing all three to shield their eyes from the sudden bright light. "There's a trunk here!" Jiraiya shouted as he pulled out a metal trunk.
