Chapter Thirteen: Akatsuki's Revenge

Everything went well in Konoha now… Ryumi, Natsume, Aya and Rin live together in the house where Yumi and Yondaime lived. Naruto would sometimes sleep over in Sasuke's place, the fact that the Uchiha compound is so huge, it's every kid's delight to roam around it, Itachi made Sasuke a training ground full of traps and whatsoever… poor Naruto.. nweize Itachi and Sasuke live together now… well that's sweet… but the thing is there were many ANBU who joined the new Police Force… the ones headed by the Uchiha, of course this was headed by Itachi and is fully supported by everyone.

The purpose of the Police Force is to defend the country while the ANBU's and jounins do the attack… that's how Tsunade sees it. Ryumi and Itachi.. Well they are not formally a couple unlike Rin and Kakashi…what's taking Itachi so long! Well.. Ino has finally gotten over Sasuke and Sakura well now that there is Aya with her long, beautiful hair is a threat enough. Neji and Hinata are as close as ever somehow Neji's dad explained to him his responsibilities as Hinata's cousin that he took gratefully of course as Rock Lee sees it Tenten and Neji are spending a lot more time together. His chances with Sakura are also brightening, somehow Sakura is sweet with him now… is it because finally she realized she has no chances with Sasuke or worst.. She pities Rock Lee.. This thought keeps him awake at night but he realized whatever is the source of Sakura's affection might as well it take it.. Another funny thing going on is Shikamaru and Temari's long distance relationship. Of course Ino got a little jealous now that Shikamaru has another woman in his life. But Shikamaru told her "You'll always be my number one" in a brotherly tone. Ino would smile coyly and reply, "That's right!" Well Shikamaru matured for sure but he is still clueless about girls and is still lazy. Now the only thing Ino is capable of doing is helping Chouji slim down and find him a girlfriend.

I don't know with Shino and Kiba… looks like Kiba has no plans of getting a girlfriend.. Is Akamaru a girl puppy? (JOKE SORRY!) Shino is already destined to marry someone else that' why he is not that emotionally attached to girls and Hinata? Well same old so so, her undying crush for the biggest brat there is Naruto.. Another funny thing is the jounins, Asuma and Kurenai thought trying to hide it are seeing each other.. Genma also has the thing for Natsume. Problem is Natsume cant commit to a relationship; she never had a boyfriend ever! Even is she is so beautiful and sexy she never had one… she is just plain scared (go Genma!) Gai… oh don't know he is a number one bachelor! He said he would concentrate on his students first "Yeah right" Jiraiya would reply.

And now that Ryumi and Itachi are sanins, Konoha is feared by many nations, the country is respected and looked up to. No one know the danger that awaits them…

It was only days before they became sanins when Itachi reported to Tsunade the possible things that can happened… and that's Orochimaru joining forces with the Akatsuki against Konoha, "I have thought about that" Tsunade replied, "We must be ready" she said, "They will attack today" Itachi said, "How can you be sure?" Ryumi asked shocked. "I just know…" Itachi replied. The jounins were present; it was a confidential meeting, Asuma, Kurenai, Anko, Izumo, Idate, Kotetsu, Genma, Shizune, Kakashi, Iruka and Gai. There was silence; Ryumi knew how Itachi got the information.

"How strong are they?" Kurenai asked, "They were chosen by Yondaime-sensei himself, they are for sure stronger than us" Asuma said in an irritable tone. "We'll take them down by numbers" Kakashi said, "How many are they?" he asked, "Seven Akatsuki's and probably more form the Sound country" Itachi answered. "It would be wise to protect the country on all possible entrances" "the Police Force can repel the enemies from the Sound the ANBU will do the attacks" Idate said. Tsunade after deep thinking opened her eyes. "Right!" she began, "Anko, evacuate everyone" "Right" Anko replied as she teleported "Izumo, Kotetsu, gather up the jounins around Konoha report to them the current situation" "Yes" they chorused as they too teleported. "Asuma, Gai tell the ANBU to be ready and report to me their tactics" "YES!" they chorused then they were gone. "Shizune, tell Rin the situation and she will head the medical ninjas, Sakura will join them" "Right1" Shizune said as she headed on. "Iruka, Kakashi, lead the Chuunins, it's about time w see the potential in them" Tsunade said, "But!" Iruka protested, "They are ready" Itachi said, "Their batch is strong" Tsunade said. Hearing this Kkashi and Iruka smiled and they too were gone. "Idate, Genma call for the reinforcements" "Yes" they replied.

Tsunade clenched her fists "Now the two of you, we'll need your skills" She aid as she clenched her fists, "Go! You know what you should do!" she yelled, "Right on!" Ryumi replied as Itachi smiled at her. They got out with their spirits full and Tsunade was left alone. "This country cannot be destroyed by anyone" Tsunade said, "I and the ones who live here will protect this country" she thought.

And in no time everyone is ready as usual woman and children were with Anko. Shizune Sakura and Rin headed the medical ninjas; Aya and Natsume were with Sasuke and Naruto. The village was just getting ready when they heard a loud crash, the northern gates of Konoha was blasted open. "Here they come!" Kakashi said, with another loud bang that destroyed the southern gates and like swallows the enemies dove to attack the villagers. But there was no civilian present; everyone in Konoha was ready for battle.

And in the midst of them all giant snakes were summoned and another three-headed snake, "Long time no see" Orochimaru sneered with Kabuto on his side. "Finally" Jiraiya said on the distant. The Akstsuki's were easily recognized, wearing their red-clouded coats. Deidara, Zetsu, Sasori, Kisame, Kamatari…
