new chapter, enjoy.

The library of beacon academy was silent during this time of day. In the morning not many people would be here, normally students would've slept.

This big room full of knowledge was completely devoid of people, except for two Akatsuki members who fell asleep during there studies last night. Nagato and Sasori slowly woke up as they slowly rose there heads from the tables. They sat across from each other and scattered on the table were books notes, science books and philosophy books all dealing with the topic of Grimm.

Nagato popped is neck back into shape while Sasori rubbed his eyes and went over his nots from last night. "Alright, we have concluded jack shit about the Grimm." The puppet master said as he curled the papers into a ball and threw it across the room into the garbage bin.

"At least we know that something extremely messed up is going on with those things." Nagato added.

Sasori slumped into his chair. "Yes, we know that you can't link yourself to them with your chakra rods without feeling immense pain."

Nagato crossed his arms. "I'm telling you, I could here voices during this short moment. I can't really tell what they wanted but I could have sworn some of them wanted to kill me while others begged me to kill them."

Sasori scuffed. "That can't be proven and has no scientific meaning. What is worth noting is that the Grimm staggered as much as you did during your link. That means they can be influenced."

They remained quiet again. This conversation was one they already had in length last night. Nagato was strongly convinced that there was something spiritual with the Grimm, like lost souls ore the manifestation of hatred while Sasori embraced the idea that these creatures have an extremely odd biological basis which gives them all those benefits.

Sasori looked at his scroll to check the time and sighed. "We should start packing, class is about to start."

Nagato nodded and helped the puppet master to return the books back to there originally location. "We will need to capture a Grimm if we want to figure more out."

Sasori nodded as both of them exited the library and moved towards there next class. Today they had combat practice, which would be nice to see what kind of warriors this school had to offer.

The lesson wasn't really what the Akatsuki were expecting. After they regrouped with her teammates Glynda goodwitch proceeded to teach the students about the rules and guidelines on how to fight in a tournament, specifically the vital festival tournament which is supposed to start in a couple of months.

The lesson proceeded with tow students being randomly chosen and fight one another. The lucky candidates were Jaune arc and Cardin Winchester. Cardin had burnt-orange hair which is combed backwards with a slight peak at the front, his eyes were indigo colored. He wore a silver-gray armor with gold trim.

The chestplate sports a bird with its wings outstretched. Underneath the armor, he wore a black shirt with red trimmings and black pants with a red belt tied around his waist. The matchup looked unfair right from the beginning since Cardin was towering over Jaune with pure body size, no making him look any less threatening was his black mace with ridiculous head design.

During the mach the blonde boy was pushed around and couldn't even attempt to hit Cardin. "Kick him in the nuts! That's his weak spot!" Hidan called out. For some reason the immortal was extremely hipped to see a fight and cheering for the blonde boy, weirdly enough his behavior was infectious.

"Use your shield to stager him!" Kisame called.

"Do you have any bombs!? If so use it." Deidara called with a smile. He knew that Jaune didn't have any bombs, but this would make him think twice not taking bombs with him in his next fight. Bombs were art after all.

Back on the battlefield the still going at each other. Cardin pressed his mace strongly onto Jaune who barely blocked the attack with his shield. "This is the part were you loose."

Jaune looked up to Cardin with fire in his eyes. "Over my dead -." Jaune was cut of as Cardin kicked the blonde boy between his legs.

"OH! What a dirty trick to just kick a dude in the nuts!" Hidan called out in protest.

Kakuzu stood next to him and rose an eyebrow. "Didn't you just tell Jaune to kick him between the legs?"

Hidan looked over to his partner and crooked his head. "Yes. That's exactly the point I said to Jaune that he should do it." The immortal returned to cheer for Jaune.

Kakuzu just shook his head as he was proven again that Hidan's brain obviously didn't function like normal people do.

On the battlefield Jaune was laying on the ground while Cardin prepared his finishing blow. Before anything els could happen Glynda ended the fight. "That is enough."

Cardin growled as he couldn't continuing beating up Jaune, but obeyed nonetheless. With a sigh Glynda addressed the other students. "As you can see mister Arc's Aura is now in the red. In a tournament style dull this would indicate that he wouldn't be able to continue fighting and therefore loose the match. Mister Arc it has been weeks now, try to use your combat lessons more seriously and avoid unnecessary damage to yourself. We wouldn't want you to be ripped apart by a Beowulf now would we?"

"Speak for yourself." Cardin said as he left the stage. Glynda ignored that inappropriate behavior and continued speaking.

"Now, since this fight finished unexpected fast we will have another sparing match." The teacher looked at there scroll to pick to random students. "Mister Itachi uchiha and Mister Sasori redsand. Please prepare your weapons and enter the stage."

Both Akatsuki members did as they were told and called for there rocked lockers. Within seconds they were both prepared and stood on the stage. Sasori had Minerva wrapped in with cloth next to him while Itachi stood at the ready with his new weapon, two twin sized katanas were on either side of his hip. Something that should be noted is that he wore black leather gloves with Maschine parts in there palms, while the blade grip ends were completely flat instead of the traditional rounded out grips.

There was a logo on the backsides of the gloves and on the sheaths of a red Scorpio, Sasori's trade mark symbol.

In the crowd Blake tapped against Kisame to get his attention. "What are those weapons Itachi got? He didn't have those during the initiation exam." She asked after the shark ninja turned to here.

Kisame grind before he answered. "Well, those blades are the called 'the flying twin blades' after Sasori. I don't know much about them but since Sasori invented them, he gets to name them."

Ruby's ears peaked up as she heard 'weapons' and 'inventing'. "Why did Sasori made those weapons for Itachi? They looked really cool and of such good quality. Why would someone create such a weapon to just give it away. I mean are you guys really this close?"

Kisame just chuckled. "Maybe we are but Itachi asked Sasori to make him a weapon since he didn't have any. Apparently he created those after he decided that the original idea for the weapon wouldn't fit to Minerva, so he changed the idea to benefit Itachi's fighting style in form of a weapon."

Glynda was actually interested to see the Akatsuki members fight and see there abilities in person, but the tow weren't activating there aura to start the match. "Would you tow activate your Aura now so we can start the match?"

Sasori rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah about that, we and our teammates don't have Aura."

Whispers were heard throughout the room. How could they not have Aura? Everyone has Aura and if they really don't have Aura than how did they survive the initiation exam?

Glynda walked up to Sasori and tried to activate his Aura, without any success. She tried the same with Itachi but it failed again. "How is that possible? Every living thing has Aura.

Itachi rolled his eyes. "Please, it's not a big deal. I have fought countless battles already and didn't even hear of Aura."

Glynda started at Itachi with the rest of the room. "How could you never have heard about the strongest force in existence, the power that changed mankind's way of living forever?"

Hidan called out from the crowd with a laugh. "You need to be more specific, you might as well just described my dick."

Kakuzu didn't hesitate to punch Hidan in his ribs to shut him up. The immortal clutches his and hissed at Kakuzu. "Take a joke asshole."

Sasori sighed. "As Itachi was saying, we never used nor will we ever need to acquire something like Aura."

Glynda put her hands to her hips with a stern expression. "Do I look like I'm taking this lightly?"

Again Hidan's voice could be heard from the crowd. "Actually you look like you would take it hard."

This time not only Kakuzu was punching the immortal, but also Nagato and Konan took a few shots at him until he was on the floor.

"Alright, how about this, we will fight each other and you can see that we don't need Aura." Itachi offered. The teacher thought for a moment before agreeing to Itachi's offer.

With one tug on the white cloth Sasori completely revealed Minerva standing there in her full height. "Let's see how well my weapons work."

Itachi was about to pull out his swords but Glynda jet again interrupted the fight. "Wait, what is this? Robots aren't allowed in tournaments and they definitely don't qualify as hunter weapons. One EMP bomb ore grande would neutralize your combat operations."

Sasori sighed and scratched the back of his head. "This is not a robot, it Hase no means to work ore think for itself. Since this puppet has no electronic parts a EMP grenade would have no effect on her. The only thing that influences her are my strings." Sasori said that as he connected his chakra strings to Minerva to make her walk a few steps and to bring her into a fighting position.

Glynda studied the puppet for a moment before silently walking out of the way. The puppet master turned back to the uchiha with a small smile. "Now were wer we?"

"I think I was about to put these blades to good use and hold them against your neck." Itachi said as he pulled out the two beautifully polished blades.

The smile of Sasori slightly widened. "How scary, but there is a rule in the world. A master cannot be defeated by a weapon he created." As he said that Minerva launched at Itachi with full force.

While she ran towards Itachi here claws were dug deep into the wooden floor, easily ripping it open. As she reached the uchiha, tried to male him with said claws.

Itachi noticed that Minerva had unnatural amount of strength unlike the puppets from there home world, so he dogged her swipes instead of blocking.

After a few swings Itachi saw an opening and slashed Minerva with a sword. However the gash that appeared on her stomach seemed to disappeared just as fast.

"A special sort of rubber is covering Minerva. Simply little scratches will heal almost automatically." Sasori said with a smile as he continued to slash at Sasori with Minerva.

The uchiha dogged further away from the puppet and looked at his swords. "Let's see how good these things are." With a loud clicking sound he brought the two flat end parts of the katanas grip together to have now a double bladed katana. With his might he threw the blade not unlike a shuriken at Sasori.

The blade spun fast and went past Minerva even faster towards Sasori. As the puppet master saw the blade coming he dogged it, however the blade stopped mid way and returned to Itachi.

While the blade flew and Sasori concentrated on it Itachi ran after the blade and passed Minerva. Thanks to the magnate in the gloves, which are stimulated to the Katanas the blade just flew back into his palms. Now that Itachi was passed Minerva he simply ran up to Sasori and put his blade to the puppet masters throat. "I like those blades." The uchiha said with a smirk.

"Don't think that you have already won. Right now it's simply a draw." Sasori said while smiling and pointing to his right hand with his left hand. Itachi noticed that he was pointing towards the uchiha's head, on closer inspection he could see the barrel of a gun strapped around the puppet masters wrist. "What is faster? Your are ore my bullet?"

"The real question is we're i'm actually standing." Itachi suddenly disappeared to Sasori's surprise. Not even a second later he could feel the sharingan eyes burning behind him. It seemed that Itachi never stood in front of the puppet master, rather he was walking behind him and simply let one of his famous illusions be the bait.

Sasori chuckled. "It seems that the best way to beat a trickster is to surprise him." After Sasori said those words he threw himself to the ground and quickly pulled some of his chakra strings.

Minerva quickly turned around and pointed at Itachi with her right arm. Said arm quickly snapped into several parts revealing a cavalry worth of gun barrels. The puppet didn't even take a second before completely on loading the ammunition on Itachi.

The uchiha had to move away to doge the barrage of bullets. It took some time but after a while it appeared that Minerva was out of ammunition. Her arm snapped back into her original from and was pulled to Sasori's side again.

"Seems like we should start being serious." Sasori said with a smirk as Minerva started to rumble. Something big was about to happen.

Itachi separated the two swords again and prepared for the worst as his sharingan started to glow brightly again. "Come and get it."

Just before they started to fight serious the bell rung loudly, announcing that the lesson was over. "Alright students, please enjoy your break." Glynda announced as the students started to leave the room.

Itachi put his blades back into the his sheaths and smiled at the puppet master. "You were saved by the bell."

Sasori except the challenge and smiled back. "Those are my lines. I was only starting with surprise."

They both walked down the stage and meet up with there teammates. Together they went to the cafeteria to have a nice meal.

As the cafeteria was crowded with almost all students, four teams were silently eating there meals. For no apparent reason the teams NIKK, KSDH, JNPR and RWBY weren't speaking a word while they ate there food.

Nora however seemed extremely nervous, like she wanted to say something really important but couldn't bring herself to say anything. Konan noticed this and confronted the energetic girl with concern. "Nora? Is everything alright?"

"I can't take it anymore! Who are you people?!" Nora screamed at the top of here lungs. The Akatsuki members were surprised at the sudden burst and that now everyone els was now looking over as well. Strangely enough it seems that the other tables didn't even notice Nora's screaming.

"Pardon?" Nagato asked with a confused expression. Immediately Pyrrha tried to explain what was going on.

"Well you see, we have a lot of questions about you guys. Like about your and Itachi's eyes, but non of us could really bring themselves to ask in fear we might anger you ore ask about sensitive subjects. Apparently Nora couldn't wait any longer since we now know that you all apparently don't have Aura."

Nagato nodded. "I understand and assure you that you can ask whatever you want. In fact, why don't we get all those questions out of the way now?" The Rinegan user looked over to his teammates who all nodded in agreement.

Yang was the first one to ask a question. "Let's get the most obvious one out of the way fist. Immortality. What's up with that?"

Hidan smiled with pride. "Well, I am a devoted follower to lord jashin and as a reward for my loyalty he has given me immortality in order to purge the world of all heathens."

"Translation: he has no idea." Kakuzu bluntly stated. Hidan looked over to Kakuzu with a frown, but kept his mouth shut.

Now Weiss asked a question towards Kakuzu. "And what's with you? We saw that your body is covered in scars, you have Grimm masks on your back and you permanently cover your face."

Kakuzu answered immediately and without hesitation as he removed the surgical mask and revealed the scars on his face witch made his face look like a twisted smile. "The mask is simply to avoid unnecessary attention. As for the scars they are more like my weapons."

Black looked concerned at Kakuzu. "While I don't understand what you mean by weapon I have noticed, and I hope I'm not asking something sensitive, that some of your skin color doesn't really match with some other parts of your body."

Itachi smiled. "Good eyes, not many people notice that." This comment made Blake realize that maybe she shouldn't have asked that. If they realized that she had good eyes than maybe they would realize that she was a Fanus.

Kakuzu continued explaining as he rolled up one of his sleeves and pulled off his arm to reveal the black tendrils in his arms. "This is basically my body. These scars are actually simply Stiches that hold my body together and hide my insides, however these are just a small portion of what i have in store. If I would show you more I would cause a panic. As for the skin i sometimes lost some parts of my body, so I had to scrap it from my... bounty."

Ruby looked with amazement as Kakuzu simply let his separate limb snap back into place. While the others were slightly nervous at the fact that Kakuzu apparently has body parts of other people she remembered something Hidan once told her. "Aren't you two called the zombie duo? Dose that mean you are immortal too?

Everyone's eyes were turned at Kakuzu again. He couldn't be also immortal right? They just coped with the fact that Hidan was immortal. "Immortality is something hard to define, if you go with the textbook definition than neither of us is immortal. Hidan is immortal to wounds but can still die. I can't survive mortal wounds but have... extra lives." Kakuzu explained.

This time Ren asked a question. "So if someone wanted to kill you they would need to kill you several times?"

Kakuzu nodded. "Yes. My immortality is based of on extra lives that I can refill if I wish. At the moment I have four extra lives, so if there aren't people who permanently want to kill me than it's save to assume that I will outlive you all."

Ruby actually look kinda said as Kakuzu mentioned that. "That must be a horrible way of life, knowing that you will outlive your friends." She whispers.

Yang put a finger to her chin. "So if Hidan is immortal to wounds but can still die, that means that the only way he could die is through old age?"

"Our being buried alive." Hidan grumbled as he remembered how that pineapple looking smart ass killed him.

Weiss clapped in her hands. "Alright, enough talk about immortality. What is with those eyes you two have?" The heiress asked as she pointed at Nagato and Itachi.

Itachi answered as he activated his sharingan. "My eyes give me enhanced vision and allow me to analyze situations a lot faster, I can basically predict what my opponent is going to do next. Furthermore I can cast powerful illusions and if the situation is dire summon black flames that are in extinguishable and summon something what is basically a giant monster as tank."

Nora snorting at that. "Yeah right, what els can you do? Breath fire?"

Kisame grind. "Actually just fire balls."

That group laughed as they thought that at this point the Akatsuki were only making fun of them. "And your eyes Nagato? Can they summon demons too?" Weiss asked.

Nagato thought for a moment before answering. "To be honest they feel a bit weaker for a while. They should regain there strength after a while but until then I would prefer not to talk about them. I don't want to give you information that could be wrong ore only half true."

Pyrrah looked over to Kisame. "Do you have anything special Kisame?"

The shark chuckled. "Me? No. I'm just a simple shark Fanus. My real specialty is my sword, a true blade fit to kill any opponent which is only able to be wielded by my hands."

This time Hidan chuckled. "He was once the freak of our group but since we have other Fanus in this school I guess Deidara is our new freak."

Blake glared daggers into Hidan as he referred to Kisame, a Fanus, as a freak. However weiss slammed her hand on the table on that statement. "What the hell do you mean!? Deidara is no freak, he is way better looking than you mister immortal!"

"Umm, weiss." Everyone turned to Deidara as he said that. Slowly Deidara held up his hands and reviled the mouths on each of his palms. "I use these to make my sculpture with heist."

Everyone was quiet as they saw this. Having hands one ones palms was certainly nothing ordinary, and he claimed that he made statues with these mouths. However Nora wasn't to concerned with the fact of Deidara art. "So it you pray is it like making out with yourself?"

Hidan laughed loudly. "Yup, he can even give himself a blowjob."

"Sicko." Deidara said with disgust at the immortal. The artist new that arguing would only encourage Hidan to continue this treatment.

Ruby looked over to Konan. "So what is your ability?"

Konan smiled as she stretched her hand out to Ruby. The silver eyed girl watched in amazement as pieces of paper seem to simply peal of her body and form a rose in her hand. The rose remained for a while before drifting away. "I'm simply a paper angel."

Ruby squealed with delight as she saw how easily Konan made a beautiful paper flower and how it simply drifted away.

Pyrrha tapped on Jaunes shoulder to get his attention. "Jaune, is everything alright? You are vert quite."

Jaune was snapped back into reality. "Huh, no im fine see? What is your special ability Sasori?"

The puppet master was actually concentrating on food as he herd Jaune's question. He looked up to the blonde boy and put his fork to the side. " I'm very, very smart."

An silence followed. Jaune wanted to break the silence by doing a follow up question ore something but was interrupted by a scream.

"Ow, that hurts stop!" The group looked over to another table to see Cardin and the rest of his teammates. With him was a girl with long brown hair and bunny ears. Cardin was currently holding one of her ears and pulled on it. "Please stop." She whimpered.

While Jaune curled his hand into a fist in rage at the scene before him Pyrrha could only shake her head. "Atrocious. I can't stand people like him."

"You are not the only one." Blake said saddened.

Yang sighed. "It must be hard to live as a Fanus."

They all returned to there meals and avoided to look in the general direction. The Akatsuki looked at each other, not sure if they were missing out on some unspoken rule ore wired custom. "Are we suppose to be quiet about this?" Nagato asked confused.

Ren looked up with a saddened expression. "What can we do? If we intervene it's clear that it will end in a fight. Cardin is one of those people who would go all out in a fight and that is prohibited."

"How about acting tougher and more dangerous than him?" Kakuzu asked.

Ruby shook her head. "I for one don't really know how to act though."

Kisame grind and stood up. "Watch and learn."

The shark walked up to the other table while trying to puff out his chest to look extra terrifying. Cardin and his team noticed him walking over and the twisted grin he had on his face.

"Hey! How about you try to pick on someone as ugly as you... wait that came out wrong." Kisame cursed himself that he had to say that stupid thing.

"Awesome how you screwed that one up jackass!" Hidan called over to the group. That certainly didn't help the situation.

Cardin let go of the of the bunny girls ears and stood up from his chair. He wasn't as big as Kisame but he had enough balls to invade his personal space. "What? Is the shark freak trying to save the bunny freak?"

"Yeah, shark freak, really creative there buddy." Kisame grumbled.

Cardin only continued smirking. "Aren't you one of those weirdos that don't even have Aura? Man, you are a freak under freaks."

"Your creativity doesn't know any bounds dose it?" Kisame said with another grin.

Over at the other table Konan turned to Nagato. "Should we feel insulted?" Nagato only shook his head, not trying to make anything worse.

Kisame was starting to really regret coming over hear. Cardin looked like he was about to do the first swing and the other students in the cafeteria watched, expecting a fight to erupted in any minute. The shark was certain that he could take Cardin on with his arms tied behind his back, but he also knew that a fight could get him in trouble. He should've let Kakuzu do this, he was way scarier than him.

Suddenly a loudspeaker announcement got everyone's attention. "Owner of the locker 646, please remove whatever living thing is in your locker."

"Ah, shit. I should have expected this." Kisame sighed as he got his scroll out of his pocket. He tumbled around a bit until he managed to call for his rocked locker to the cafeteria. It simply flew through the window and into the middle of the cafeteria. It was shaking widely and something was growling inside.

The students all looked at Kisame and started to whisper. Cardin crossed his arms and continued to smirk. "Don't tell me you desperately wanted to take your pet with you to scholl and decided to hide it in the locker."

Before anyone could say anything else the locker started to shake wildly and even dent in a few spots. The students all backed away and even Cardin's smirk disappeared.

Suddenly the locker burst open and shark skin slithered out. It immediately spotted Kisame and dashed towards him. This mouth Stopped right in front of Kisame and let out a horrible roar. The shark didn't move and inch as spit from sharkskin cover his face. After it stopped Kisame Kisame used one hand to get the most amount of spit of his face. "I know baby and I'm sorry. I had to try it since it's prohibited for students to carry there weapons. It's obvious that that doesn't work so I will talk with the teacher to make an exception."

Shark skin only looked away like it was insulted by Kisame.

"Come one don't be like that. See that Cardin guy over there? He has something called Aura. Maybe it tastes really amazing." Kisame tried to beg.

Shark skin slightly looked over to Kisame before turning away again.

Kisame sighed. "Alright, how about this? I will let you much on Hidan a bit and after that I will wash every last one of your scales. What to you say."

"Wait hold on what was that about me?" Hidan asked confused.

Meanwhile shark skins grip acted like a tailed and waged back and forth. Kisame chuckled as he noticed this while his sword continued to act insulted. Without a word he scratched a certain spot on its head which it loved. "Come one, get you equipment."

The sword turned to Kisame licked over his his face. Quickly is slithered over to the damage locker and brought Kisame the belt and the white cloth. While the shark strapped the belt around his shoulder the sword mummified itself with the cloth. After both were finished Kisame simply strapped the sword to his back.

Every student just stared at him as they slowly backed away. Even Cardin backed away. Satisfied with his work he returned to his seat.

The Akatsuki members didn't really react surprised at what just happened, however team RWBY and team JNPR were quite shocked.

Blake spoke Frist of the group. "Ok what, the fuck."

Kisame grind as he simply lifted his shoulders. "Everyone of us has something special. This is my special."

Hidan raised his hand worried. "Seriously what was that about me?"

Itachi decided to answer that. "He is certain that you will do something stupid and that he will punish you for it."

Hidan paled at the sword not cutting him but ripping him to shreds and eating his chakra. "Well now I certainly won't."

Sasori smirked. "O really?" Silently he wrapped a small, almost invisible threat around Hidan's wrist. With one little tug at the right moment he brought the immortal to trip and land with his hand directly on Ruby's chest.

The silver eyed girl blushed immediately and stood still in complete shock. Before yang could extract her vengeance on the immortal, Kisame dragged him out of the cafeteria.

Kakuzu sighed. "I better patch him back up afterwards." The other immortal stood up and followed the other Akatsuki members.

Meanwhile Ruby was still blushing and couldn't really process what just happened. The other Akatsuki members enjoyed the rest of there meals.

Ozpin was looking though the security cameras and analyzed the situation that accrued in the cafeteria. He noticed the thing that happened with Kisame's sword but he was more interested in Sasori. "Maybe you could help her if you are so smart."
