First of all, Big shout out to sladerules, who apparently drew inspiration from this fic and made his persona in his own reading fic. It brings joy to my heart knowing that one of my favorite authors drew inspiration from something I wrote. Anyway since I tend to have a lot of ideas in my head, I will be working on this on the side while also working on my other fics.
Disclaimer: I do not own, Naruto or RWBY. Those are owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Rooster Teeth respectively. I also do not own Team Akatsuki, that is owned by Israel Pena. He's a nice guy by the way. Completely understanding on why I had to delay this originally.
Rio came back from the bathroom to find, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Ruby looking rather annoyed at him. "Where have you been?" asked Naruto. "It doesn't take that long to take a crap!"
"My apologies," said Rio looking genuinely sorry, as he pulled out a few sheets of paper, "Hopefully this will explain where I've been."
He then tossed the sheets to each of them.
They all got wide eyes.
"Chester Bennington NOOOOOOO!" shouted Ruby.
"Zero feeling in your right arm?" asked Sakura.
"Your computer shat on itself?!" Sasuke asked.
"This chapter of Shadows of Remnant being dedicated to Chester Bennington is a nice thing to do at least," said Naruto.
"I felt some sort of explanation was needed," said Rio.
"And to make it up to all of you, I will read the next chapter."
Rio then picked up the book and began.
Chapter 2: Akatsuki in Vale
When the Akatsuki arrived in the City of Vale, they expected a village similar to the ones they have in their world. They didn't expect a giant city with lots of technology they've never seen before or some of the population to have animal parts.
"You mean don't have any of that technology or any faunus in your world?" asked Ruby.
"Well we have close to the technology NOW," said Naruto.
"But back when they were around, we were less advanced," said Sasuke.
"As for Faunus, well I guess people like Kiba could be sort of like a faunus," said Naruto thinking.
"You know Naruto, by Remnant standards Naruto, YOU are a faunus," said Rio.
"Wait what?" said everyone.
"Well Naruto, you can see in the dark, thanks to your shinobi training, you have whisker marks as well as slight fangs, you have heightened senses, in combined thanks to Kurama and your Shinobi training, all qualities of a faunus," Rio explained.
"Huh he's right," said Ruby.
"Heck faunus tend to get treated the same way as jinchuriki," said Rio before continuing.
The Akatsuki felt really uncomfortable being in the city, but they knew that they needed information about this world to understand it.
"Information is important," said Sasuke, who was currently investigating the Otsutsuki's back home.
"Alright, I don't want any of you to attract unwanted attention to us," Nagato told the rest of the Akatsuki. Despite the group being teenagers in a whole different world, Nagato is still the leader of the Akatsuki. After all, he is the most powerful member of the group and the one who helped started the organization.
"Well except for Obito, but he's not there," said Naruto.
"Probably for the best," said Sasuke.
"That will be a problem because mostly everyone is looking at us," Itachi stated. It was true. People have been giving the Akatsuki weird looks. Mostly because the eight teens are wearing the exact same cloaks, making people assume they're some sort of gang.
"Well they do stand out when they're together like that," said Naruto.
"That was even how they were identified back home," said Sakura.
"They would be mistaken for a gang," said Ruby.
"Also, they're mostly looking at Kisame," Sasori added. That's another thing that's true. People are thinking that Kisame is a Faunus due to his shark-like appearance. In the world of Remnant, the most common type of Faunus is mammal Faunus. Therefore, fish, insect, and bird Faunus are rare to see.
"That is true," said Ruby.
"I suppose it was inevitable for Kisame to be mistaken for a faunus," said Sasuke.
"Being in this city was already making me feel uncomfortable. Now, knowing that people are mostly watching me out of all of us is starting to get on my nerves," Kisame muttered out loud.
"Just ignore them Kisame. I doubt they'll do anything to us," Konan told the blue skinned shinobi.
"Well, let's not attract more attention than we already have," Nagato said.
"Smart plan," said Naruto.
Once the Akatsuki were at the center of the city, Nagato decided to brief them on their new missions. "All right, we will split up into our usual two man teams.
"What are those?" Ruby asked.
"Hidan and Kakuzu, Itachi and Kisame, Nagato and Konan, Sasori and Deidara," Naruto explained.
We are to gather as much information about this world as we can before we come back to this exact spot. Do not, and I repeat, do not cause any trouble. I rather not have our lives end up like it was in our former world. If you need to fight back, you may only fight back in self-defense. Am I clear?"
"Yes, Nagato," the rest of the Akatsuki answered. Using their ninja speed, they dispersed. Nagato and Konan went on one path. Kakuzu and Hidan went on another. Sasori and Deidara went on their path. That left only Kisame and Itachi to go their path.
"So, where to Itachi?" Kisame asked. The raven haired teen shrugged.
"Somewhere useful like a bookstore," Itachi replied. "Books always have lots of information."
"That is true, books are very useful," said Sakura.
"NOOO books are boring!" shouted Ruby.
Everyone just stared at her.
"I'll be quiet now," said Ruby.
"Alright then…Any idea where to find the bookstore?" the shark ninja asked.
"Nope," Itachi simply replied. With no directions to any bookstore, Kisame and Itachi went on a different path that the rest of the Akatsuki didn't take. Some more people continued to give the two looks and glances, but the two decided to ignore them. They didn't want to admit though, but the two Akatsuki members are now lost within the city.
"This is getting us nowhere. Why can't we ask people for directions?" Kisame asked.
"Because that would be attracting attention to us," Itachi answered. Just before they were about to continue walking, they heard a cry for help.
"Please stop!" yelled a female voice.
"Why does that voice sound familiar?" asked Ruby.
The two Akatsuki members looked towards the location of the voice and saw a young teenage girl being harassed by three older guys. The girl has long, brown hair and brown eyes. The feature that caught their attention is the girl's long, brown rabbit ears.
"Oh my gosh it's Vevlet!" shouted Ruby excitedly.
"She's one of my friend's at Beacon academy," she explained, "One of the upper classmen."
Everyone nodded.
"She's also a faunus hence the rabbit ears," Ruby added before Rio continued reading.
The rabbit girl is wearing a short, long-sleeved brown jacket with a golden zipper, brown pants and black leggings with golden detail. She's also wearing a black, semi-translucent undershirt beneath her jacket, along with golden spaulders and vambraces on both arms, as well as a similar belt. The tops of her leggings are edged with a similar band, and her heel and toe are likewise protected.
"What a freak!" the leader of the trio exclaimed.
The everyone suddenly got a chill down their spine as they looked at Naruto who looked like he was trying so hard not to jump through the screen at the trio.
The rabbit girl wanted to get away from them, but she was surrounded by the trio. Kisame frowned when he saw the scene.
"It's one of those animal people," the shark ninja muttered.
"And it seems that she's in a dire situation," Itachi replied.
"I'm going to go help her," Kisame declared.
"Nagato specifically said not to cause any trouble," Itachi told his partner. While he did want to help out the rabbit girl, he also didn't want to disobey orders and bring unwanted attention to them. That unwanted attention can either be good or bad.
"Yes, but he also said that we can fight back in self-defense, and he wasn't specific about the self-defense part," Kisame countered with a grin. Itachi responded with a shrug, knowing he couldn't argue with his partner any further.
"Let's see if these ears are real," the leader of the trio told his friends. Before he knew it, the guy was suddenly grabbed by the throat and slammed against the wall by none other than Kisame.
"Leave her alone and disappear," the shark ninja growled.
"Get him Kisame!" shouted Naruto.
"Let go of me you freak!" the man managed to say while gasping for breath.
"I don't think you heard me," Kisame told the man as he squeezed the man's throat tighter.
"Okay is this guy brain dead?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah you'd think that he's be less cocky when somebody like Kisame has him by the throat," Sakura added.
"What will you do if I don't?" the man asked. The shark ninja gave a smirk.
"Then I'll have to introduce you to my sword Samehada,"
Ruby suddenly got stars in her eyes.
"Ooh are we going to get to see his weapon?" asked Ruby excitedly.
Kisame replied, gesturing to his bandaged sword. "It does slice…it shreds you into ribbons!" The man was scared when he heard that. "And don't get me started on my friend over here. He's a prodigy." Itachi raised an eyebrow on how that last statement was supposed to be a threat, but it worked. Kisame threw the man to the ground and gave him and his friends a glare. "Get out of here." The trio quickly ran in fear, leaving the two Akatsuki members and the rabbit girl.
"T-Thank you for saving me…" the rabbit girl told the two, specifically Kisame.
"Yes Thank you Kisame, I never thought I'd be thanking a member of Akatsuki but thank you," said Naruto.
"No problem. Why were they picking on you though?" the shark ninja asked.
"It's because I'm a Faunus," the rabbit girl.
"THOSE BASTARDS!" shouted Naruto.
"A what?" Kisame asked in confusion. Itachi was also confused yet interested. He never heard of that word before.
"A Faunus, a race of humanoid people who possess physical animal traits," the rabbit girl explained.
"Oh. I guess we don't have to call you animal people then," Kisame replied with a small chuckle. The rabbit girl tilted her head in confusion.
"Aren't you a Faunus?" she asked.
"What? No," the shark ninja answered. "I'm a human, but I was born like this."
"Are you sure? You have the features of a shark. Your skin is even blue," the rabbit girl pointed out.
"Genetic mutation," Kisame quickly replied, using it as a good excuse to explain his features.
"Oh. Sorry for the confusion," the rabbit girl said, buying the excuse.
"This is going to come up a lot isn't it?" asked Sakura.
"Yep," Rio replied.
"If you don't mind me asking, what is your name?" the shark ninja asked.
"My name is Velvet Scarlatina," the rabbit girl answered.
"Oh hello Velvet. My name is Kisame Hoshigaki and this is my friend Itachi Uchiha," Kisame introduced, gesturing to his partner. Itachi gave a quick nod to the rabbit Faunus before allowing Kisame to continue the conversation with the girl. They already received a piece of information about this world. It's seems there are two races living on this world, humans and human lookalikes with animal features known as Faunus.
"Well Velvet, can you tell me where you're going? Itachi and I can walk you there just in case no one tries to hurt you. By the way, what does having to be a Faunus gets you to be picked on?" Kisame asked.
"For the first part, I'm going to an airship that will take me to Beacon Academy so I can start my first year. As for the second part, the Faunus race is usually faced with discrimination because of the way we look. Humans see us as freaks," Velvet explained.
"I swear no matter what the universe, there are problems like these," said Naruto angrily.
Itachi frowned. So this new race is faced with discrimination? This reminds the Uchiha of jinchurikis and how they would be discriminated due to having the Tailed Beasts sealed inside of them.
Ruby's eyes suddenly widen as she puts two and two together based on Naruto's reactions and the conversation on Jinchuriki earlier, she suddenly tackles Naruto into a great big hug.
"It's okay I'm here for you," she said.
Naruto's eyes just widened wondering how to deal with this.
This girl has a lot of information about this world, and she's willing to tell them everything she knows. Itachi wants to know more about the Faunus race, airships, and this Beacon Academy.
Meanwhile, Kakuzu and Hidan are looking for information about the world just like their fellow members. While any information will serve them well, Kakuzu was specifically interested on the currency that this world uses.
"Of course he is," said Sakura.
Sasuke just nodded.
Naruro was still being smothered by Ruby.
Even in a different world, Kakuzu's main interest will always be the same: Money.
"Oi, Kakuzu. Do you even know where you're even going?" Hidan asked.
"Yes. We're going to a bar," Kakuzu replied.
"Eh? Since when do you fucking drink you old fart?" Hidan responded.
"First of all, refrain from calling me old or anything related to the term. We're teenagers now, specifically seventeen years old according to Sasori. Second of all, I don't drink, especially during a mission. Third of all and finally, we're going to a bar to look for information," Kakuzu explained.
"Oh, so what kind of information are we going to get?" Hidan asked.
"Money," Kakuzu simply replied.
"Money?! Of course you're going to your heathen ways of money. Not everything is about money you fucking bastard!" Hidan ranted to his partner.
"That is where you're wrong. Money is what keeps the world going. Without money, society collapses. Besides, whatever Nagato plans to do with the Akatsuki is going to involve money," Kakuzu explained. "I don't expect you to understand. You're still going with your sick, twisted religion."
"Don't you dare insult the Way of Jashinism you heathen fucker!" Hidan angrily shouted at his partner.
"Language!" shouted Ruby who had finally disengaged herself from Naruto.
"As much as I want try to find another way to kill you, we still have a mission to do. I rather not have it compromised because of your idiocy," Kakuzu stated. "Besides, we're here." The two Akatsuki members arrived at a bar known as the Crow Bar.
"I think I know who they are going to meet," said Ruby.
As they entered, they could only find two occupants. One is of course the bartender while the other is a somewhat older man.
The man has graying black, spiky hair, red eyes, slight stubble along his jawline, with a red tattered cloak. He's wearing a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants, and black dress shoes.
"IT'S MY UNCLE QROW!" Ruby shouted.
Kakuzu noticed that the man is carrying some sort of weapon, making him a valuable source of information. Kakuzu sat next to the man while Hidan inspected the bar.
"Aren't you a little young to be in a place like this?" the man asked Kakuzu. The miser could already tell that the occupant is drunk. Hopefully this won't take long.
"I'm not here to drink. My…colleague and I are looking for information," Kakuzu replied. Colleague was the best thing Kakuzu could describe Hidan. It's a known fact that they don't like each other, so the miser wouldn't call him a friend or acquaintance. Just like Sasori and Deidara, they would argue a lot. However, they would also go at each other's throats.
"What's with the mask and the hood? Are you ugly?" the drunken man asked Kakuzu.
"Very much so," said Naruto laughing at this guy's bluntness.
The Akatsuki was caught off guard, and Hidan laughed at the question. Kakuzu never really cared about his appearance, but he would rather wear his mask and hood.
"Hell yeah he is! You should see his fucking face!" Hidan laughed. Kakuzu growled in anger. The drunken man turned to see Hidan and noticed the scythe that the zealot was carrying on his back.
"Nice scythe," the drunken man commented. Hidan replied with a nod of thanks. Kakuzu cleared his throat, catching the attention of the drunken man.
"Why is he interested in the Scythe?" asked Sakura.
"Because he and I also use a Scythe," said Ruby.
"As I was saying before, we're looking for information and you seem like a good candidate who knows a lot," Kakuzu stated. The drunken man eyed the Akatsuki, seeing if it's safe to go along.
"What kind of information?" the drunken man asked carefully.
"Money. What is the currency of this world, and what offers a big pay?" Kakuzu asked. The drunken man stared the Akatsuki member dumbfounded. He wasn't sure if the teen was kidding or not. It was probably in the alcohol in his system. Nevertheless, there seems nothing wrong with the question and decided to answer.
"The type of currency that we use is called Lien," the drunken man stated. He took out a plastic card with a black magnetic reader strip on the back and a small notation on the front. The card was colored turquoise. An L crossed with two horizontal lines can be seen on the card. Kakuzu's green and red eyes gazed at the card. "They come in several different colors; turquoise, pink, yellow, and blue."
"I see," Kakuzu muttered in awe. Hidan, meanwhile, wasn't paying attention. Money wasn't his interest so he is going to let Kakuzu gather the information.
"As for the job that pays the most, there are several. The one's you're looking for are government official, high rankings in military and business, teacher, and hunter and huntress," the drunken man explained.
Kakuzu took a thought about those positions. He doubted the Akatsuki would be able to get any position in the government due to their current age. Plus, only Nagato and Konan have experience in government as they used to be leaders of a ninja village. Kakuzu also doubted Nagato would allow them to join the world's military as the Akatsuki were their own military. As for business, the chances of running a successful one isn't that high, plus there are risks, despite Kakuzu's knowledge in money. As for teacher, Kakuzu knew that not all the members of the Akatsuki possess the qualifications to be teachers. Deidara and Hidan lack the knowledge and experience to teach properly. Sasori is too impatient. Kakuzu himself has a bad temper. Only Nagato, Konan, Itachi, and Kisame have the qualifications to be good teachers. The last occupation is hunter and huntress.
"Tell me about the last occupation, hunter and huntress," Kakuzu told the man. The statement caught Hidan's interest, so he decided to listen this time. The drunken man gave the two a smirk.
Sasori and Deidara are walking in their direction through Vale. For their mission, Sasori knew that it wouldn't be that hard to simply gather information. Despite being in a new world as teenagers, the red head believed they can get some useful knowledge of where they are. Back in their world, Sasori developed a large and successful spy network.
"How do you think the others are doing, hmm?" Deidara asked his partner.
"No doubt Kakuzu is looking for information about the money that this world uses. The others are doing better no doubt," Sasori replied.
"What do you think of Nagato's plans for peace? This city already looks peaceful," the blonde said.
"Usually, villages back in our world always look peaceful but what about the world as a whole? Plus, those creatures that we fought earlier tell me otherwise. They seemed demonic," the red head stated.
"Yeah, their eyes reminds me of Itachi's Sharingan. Man, I can't stand that guy," Deidara muttered.
"Enough with your rivalry with Itachi. Remember, it was your recklessness and foolishness that got you killed," Sasori told his partner. "Do you want to die young again?"
Sasuke suddenly smirked.
"No," the blonde muttered. The blonde was disappointed and angry that his ultimate jutsu failed to kill Itachi's younger brother, but now there's nothing he can do. However, he's in a new world with new possibilities.
Naruto and Sakura now knew what the smirk was about.
"Let's check here," Sasori said, pointing to a building in front of them. The title of the building is read From Dust Till Dawn. The two entered the building and saw an old man standing behind a counter. The counter contains a glass display case of differently colored crystals. On the walls are a set of tubes that contains differently colored powders. Despite the fact that there are other products inside the ship, the colorful products were what caught the eyes of the Akatsuki members.
"I swear that guy runs every shop," said Ruby.
"Hello, how may I serve you," the old shopkeeper asked.
"We would like to know what those colorful things are," Sasori replied.
"You mean Dust?" the shopkeeper asked.
"Yes," Sasori answered.
"Dust is an energy source widely used in Remnant. They exist in four basic types with the four basic colors being red, blue, yellow, and green. However, there are more types in different other colors. Each type of Dust has unique properties. The colors correspond to their different natures or effects. Examples include Red corresponding to fire and Green corresponding to wind. They can be combined for different abilities, such as water and wind dust being combined for ice effects," the shopkeeper explained.
"So kind of like crystalized Chakra," said Naruto.
"What is the extent of their abilities?" Sasori asked. This Dust information is becoming very interesting. Not only does this Dust can be used as an energy source, they can also be used for different effects similar to chakra natures.
"Dust can be found in crystalline and powdered states. It serves as a power source for the majority of technology in Remnant and can be used extensively in combat. They can be used through weapons or by itself. They are also explosive too," the shopkeeper stated.
This time, Deidara's interest was caught as well when he heard the world 'explosive.' He can use these colorful materials to use for his art. The blonde smiled at the thought. Deidara can express his art, this time in color!
This information will be important to report back to Nagato. Sasori always wondered what supported the vast amount of technology the Akatsuki has witnessed. There's also the fact that this Dust can be used in combat. The red head knew that he also needs to look for a place where he can get supplies to create new puppets. Sasori will do that right after Kakuzu finds a way on how to make money.
"Where can Dust be found, hmm?" Deidara asked.
"It's usually found in mines. The Schnee Dust Company is one of the largest producers of Dust in the world," the shop owner answered.
"I see. Thank you for your time," Sasori told the shopkeeper. The two Akatsuki members exited the Dust shop, leaving the old shopkeeper wondering why the two teens have never heard or knew what Dust is before.
"This seems like a good place to find information," Nagato said.
"I'm surprised that not even Itachi thought about coming here considering this is a bookstore," Konan replied.
"Except he did think to come there, he just couldn't find it," said Sasuke.
The two leading members of the Akatsuki are standing at the front of a bookstore called Tuskon's Book Trade. They entered the bookstore and is greeted by the owner.
"Welcome to Tuskon's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun. My name is Tuskon, how may I help you?" the store owner, Tuskon, greeted. He's wearing a short-sleeved beige shirt with black accents and a zipper on it, pulled down to a point below his collarbone. Beneath it is a white undershirt. His hair is cleanly cut, and he has noticeable sideburns, along with hairy, muscular arms.
"We are looking for books about the history of this world," Nagato replied.
"Oh, do you need them for school or something?" Tuskon asked.
"No, just for information," Nagato answered. That seemed like an odd question to Tuskon. Normally whenever people ask him for history books, they're either teachers or students. This young man, who looks about seventeen years old, is none of them. It's as if he isn't of this world.
"Because he isn't," said Naruto smirking.
Meanwhile, Konan was looking through the books the store has on shelf. One book caught her eyes. She picked up the book and looked at it. It has a black cover with a picture of a red mask and a red title.
"Ninjas of Love," Konan read to herself, raising an eyebrow in interest.
"NOOO!" shouted Ruby, "THAT IS FILTH! FILTH!"
Everyone just stared at her.
It seems ninjas exist in this world as well, yet she never saw any. She wondered what kind of ninjas that this world has. Konan opened the book at a random page and read a small piece of the story. Suddenly, her eyes widened and her face turned red. She quickly closed the book and placed it back to where it was. That book was a smut book, the kind of books her former sensei, Jiraiya, used to write.
"Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh," said Naruto and Sakura in unison.
Nagato received the history books from Tuskon before he was joined by Konan. The red head noticed that his partner's face is unusually red for some reason.
"Is everything alright Konan?" Nagato asked.
"Yes," the blue haired girl quickly responded. As Tuskon is inspecting his inventory, Nagato opened the book and began reading the contents.
"Huh, it seems that the world's name is Remnant. Good start," the red head muttered.
"It also seems that the world is composed of four kingdoms. It's just like the Five Great Shinobi Countries and their hidden villages," Konan replied.
"Excuse me. What kingdom are we in, and what is its relation with the other three?" Nagato asked Tuskon. When the two Akatsuki members were reading from the history book, the store owner couldn't help but listen into their conversation. He was surprised that they didn't even know the name of the planet before, and now they don't know what kingdom they're in.
"We're in the Kingdom of Vale. As for relations, every kingdom is at peace with one another. There hasn't been a war in almost a century," Tuskon explained. Nagato and Konan smiled for the fact that the kingdoms has been at peace for such a long period of time. It seems there aren't any chances of war. As the two teens continued to read the history book, Tuskon couldn't help but feel that there was something was off about the two.
"The creatures that we fought earlier, they're called Grimm," Konan said to her partner.
"Creatures of destruction and lacking a soul? It's a good thing that we killed those creatures. According to the book, they're drawn to negative emotions. No wonder they attacked us. It was because of Deidara and Hidan's argument," Nagato stated.
"And the fact that we were releasing our built up anger and stress while we were fighting was also the reason why more came," Konan replied. "The book also says that the Grimm is at war with mankind, always attacking and destroying man's inventions."
"Peace yet no peace at the same time. That's a problem that we'll have to fix," Nagato said. Now Tuskon was starting to get nervous. They didn't even know anything about Grimm. The store owner was getting tensed and is willing to use force to get answers.
"Are they seriously having this conversation while he's right there?" said Sakura deadpanning.
"He really is an Uzumaki," said Sasuke.
"Up yours too Teme," said Naruto.
"Whatever Dobe," said Sasuke.
"Now this is interesting. It seems the people of this world have something what is called Aura. From what the book says, it's very similar to chakra," Konan told her partner.
"Alright that's it!" Tuskon shouted. Nagato and Konan turned their attention to the now angry store owner.
"Who are you two?" Tuskon asked the two.
"I'm afraid we don't understand what you're talking about," Konan replied.
"Don't act dumb! I overheard every part of your conversation! Who are you two?! Where are you two from?!" Tuskon demanded. The leader of the Akatsuki narrowed his eyes.
"I'm afraid we can't answer those questions," Nagato stated. That wasn't the answer Tuskon was looking for, and the store owner then transformed. He quickly grew claws and fangs while his appearance became more feral.
"You're one of those animal people!" Konan exclaimed. To people like Tuskon, what Konan called him is considered an insult.
Everyone just face palmed there.
"I'm a Faunus!" Tuskon roared as he leaped at the blue haired girl.
"Almighty Push!" Nagato shouted, creating a gravitational force that sent Tuskon crashing to the next room. The red headed teen was angry that someone attacked Konan out of all people. No one dares to try to lay a finger on her with him around. Tuskon slowly got up as the attack required most of his aura to heal him.
"Universal Pull!" Nagato yelled as the same force that pushed Tuskon was now pulling Fuanus towards the two teens. The store owner's throat was caught by the leader of the Akatsuki. Purple eyes with black rings stared at animalistic eyes. Not hesitating, Nagato slammed Tuskon onto the floor which created a medium sized crater as the red head didn't use that much force in the slam.
"That escalated quickly," Konan muttered.
"Yeah it really did," said Naruto.
Tuskon groaned as he felt the rest of his aura drained from the attack.
"I couldn't believe he tried to attack you. He seemed like a nice guy," Nagato replied. He placed his right hand on the front of Tuskon's head.
"What did you expect to happen, you had cryptic conversation within earshot of him and instulted him," said Sakura.
"You're going to read his mind?" Konan asked.
"Yes, he must know some information that the history book doesn't," the red head replied. After a few seconds past, Nagato let go.
"Did you find anything?" Konan asked.
"Indeed I have. It appears that our friend here is a member of a terrorist organization known as the White Fang," Nagato answered.
"Another White Fang?!" asked Naruto.
"What do you mean?" asked Ruby.
"The White Fang was the title our teacher's father went by said Naruto.
"Gather the Akatsuki. There is much to discuss."
"And that is the end of the Chapter," said Rio.
"I feel like this took a long time to read," said Ruby.
"I don't know what you're talking about," said Rio suddenly nervous.
"Here in the meantime, check out Shadows of Remnant," said Rio passing everyone a copy of a three chapter book.
"Might make an interesting read," said Naruto.
And finished. Let it be known, reading fics are harder to make than regular ones.
Also that most recent chapter of Team Akatsuki, the one where we get our first look at Penny and her…. Siblings….. for lack of better word without spoilers, I am going to have fun doing the reading of that chapter lol.
