Recap:
"Deidara, that's so sad!" Ino and Hinata said as they looked at him
"But I don't really care, I can do whatever I want really, there aren't any rules" He said with a smirk
"Good point." Ino said as Hinata quieted them
"there is someone in the bushes" She said quietly to them as the three prepared for who might come out of the bushes
As the three prepared they saw a raven-haired boy walk out of the bushes. His eyes were that of the Sharingan.
"Sasuke-kun!" Ino said surprised. Hinata was surprised, along with Sasuke
"Ino, Hinata! What are you two doing! Get away from him! He is dangerous!" Sasuke yelled out, clearly meaning Deidara. He lunged at Deidara and Hinata blocked him
"no" She said
"What?" Sasuke asked, shocked that Hinata was actually protecting a missing nin
"Why are you protecting him? He is the enemy!" He yelled
"Sasuke, look at what we are wearing" Ino said to him as Sasuke studied their clothing, that of the Akatsuki.
"You can't be serious" he muttered
"Sasuke, you don't think that this is good, but really, it is the best thing so far in my life" Ino said as Hinata nodded in agreement. He stared wide-eyed at the two. They used to be those people that you wouldn't think that they would do something like this, but they surprised him by joining the most feared league of ninja's in the whole world.
"Why?" Was his only question that he wanted, no, could ask
"To not be considered as weaklings anymore" The two said to him as they were still in front of Deidara.
"But you could have trained with Tsunade" Sasuke said as his Sharingan eye's went away and turned into his usual onyx color.
"She had no time" Hinata said " she was to busy with missions, assigning missions.. you know, Hokage stuff." Hinata replied
"What about Kurenai and Asuma?" Sasuke asked
"Asuma is to busy training with Shikamaru and Chouji" Ino replied bitterly
"And Kurenai is injured again, making her unable to train me, nor Kiba or Shino" Hinata replied
"now, if you don't want to get caught by Itachi or Kisame, I recommend that you split" Deidara said as Sasuke jumped away, seeing how he wouldn't attack yet. Not when Hinata and Ino were still there.
"Sasuke isn't cold hearted. I think that he is just misled" Hinata said
"anyways, lets go inside, its getting chilly out here" Deidara said as the group of three went inside, and soon fell asleep.
Not to far away from their camp, Uchiha Sasuke was sitting there, wondering how he could get Ino and Hinata away long enough for him to kill his brother. He sighed, seeing how Hinata is really smart and would know about what would happen if there was a trick happening. Ino would sense it for sure, because she clearly had one of those Sasuke tracking devices implanted on her someplace. He sighed, there would be a lot of planning before he could try and kill his brother… and the fact that he might endanger his fellow friends. He soon drifted off into a sleep as well, leaving the world of reality to fend off from its worries which it would have to over come some day.
In the morning Hinata and Ino rose early to start to prepare the meal that they would serve the Akatsuki. They had begun to make eggs and cut up some fruit. As they were finishing up the meal Itachi strolled in and sat down at the table. Hinata took some water to him, along with the meal.
"Here you are Itachi-sama" She said politely
"Thanks" he grunted in reply as he started to eat the meal. Soon after, Kisame came down and Ino served him his meal. Sasori and Deidara both came at the same time and both girls served them meals.
"Ah, yet again, another one of god's creations" Deidara said happily as he ate the food that was set in front of him.
"So we shall start your training today." Itachi and Kisame said together.
"Which means, eat up" Deidara said as he finished his serving of food and went to get seconds. Ino and Hinata both took their share of food and sat down at the table, eating up their food. Once everyone was done, they all went outside. Itachi and Kisame brought out two robes and handed them to the two girls
"Put them on under your robes, they will help you get faster and stronger" The two said as they handed them some very heavy robes. Hinata took off her robe and placed the weighted robe over her black shirt and pants, then put the Akatsuki robe on overtop. Ino did the same thing as Hinata and then the two stood in front of the Akatsuki members.
"So for the start, we will be starting with some dodging, Hinata, you should be good at this, so you can't use your Byakugan, and Ino, you can do whatever you want to try and dodge." Kisame said
"what are we dodging?" Ino asked
"Clay needles" Deidara replied as him and Sasori set up a firing station and Deidara started to make clay needles and put them into Sasori's body, so then Sasori fired the needles at the two girls continuously. Hinata started to dodge the needles, like how she did when she fought with Neji. Side, side, down, jump, side, side, down, jump. That was her pattern. Ino however was running, rolling, jump, running, rolling, jump. It was continuous for her as well. As they continued their dodging, Sasori started to mix kunai in with the clay needles, so now they had to dodge the needles and the sharp Kunai. Ino yelled out as a needle pierced her leg, then a kunai went into her arm. Hinata quickly stood in front of her friend and performed the Shugohakke Rokujuyon Sho (Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms). The needles and kunai started falling down to the ground in large clumps, seeing how she had perfected using the technique without having to use Byakugan. Sasori and Deidara stopped the attack when Hinata fell down after using her technique
"Impressive" Itachi said as he noted Hinata's technique
"Saved yourself and Ino from the needle's and kunai" He said as Hinata looked at her hands and saw that they were cut up from the needle's.
"we will have lunch, then we will train with camoflauge." Sasori said as the group sat down together in the middle of the field and took out a meal that Ino and Hinata made before they left to go train. They took out the meal and handed everyone their own portions. Deidara, as usual, complimented on the food and ate it lovingly as Sasori, Kisame and Itachi just ate it, along with Ino and Hinata. After everyone was finished, they begun their camoflauging.
"So basically I am going to let you hide, and on the tenth count, I will come and try to find you." Sasori said as Deidar, Itachi and Kisame sat to the side, speculating. Hinata and Ino ran towards the forest. Hinata jumped up into a tree, and hid herself behind the main stump, on a larger branch. Ino hid inside of the bushes.
"ten.." They heard Sasori call out as his footsteps were heard comging towards where they were. Ino held her breath and started getting closer inside of a bush, her hair acting being hidden. She held her breath as Sasori walked by, she watched as he looked around the area that she was in, then he left. Once he was far away she let her breath go and she continued to watch.
Hinata watched Sasori on the pathway, leaving her back open. She held her breath as he was underneath the tree that she was in.
"Found you!" Said a voice from behind her. She turned around and saw Naruto, but then the next thing that she remembered was falling into a dark abyss.
