"What happened to you?" Kakuzu asked Hidan.
"Hell if I know. One moment I am walking around the village then I am locked up in a fucking cage all tied up. If this is one of your fucked up jokes then you better start running." Hidan yelled as the attention of the other present Akatsuki members was now on Hidan.
"What are you talking about?" Kisame said.
"What the fuck you think I mean shark shit? I was tied up in a fucking cage. Who did that?" Hidan asked again.
"None of us." Itachi said.
"Check the Kyubi." A voice said from the other side of the room.
"I am on it yeah." Deidra said as he left the room.
"I feel fucking humiliated." Hidan said.
"Wouldn't be the first time would it?" Kakuzu said.
"What the fuck do you mean by that?" Hidan asked as he approached Kakuzu.
"Nothing. Just the times when your head fell off keep coming back to me." Kakuzu replied.
As Hidan was about to reply to that statement, Deidra walked into the room with a worried look on his face.
"Umm, he isn't there yeah." Deidra said.
"What do you mean he isn't there? Where is he?"
"Not there yeah. Ask Hidan, he might know." Deidra said.
"What do you mean I would know?" Hidan asked.
"It means that wherever you woke up in that cage, that is where we should look." Itachi said.
"Fuck you." Hidan said.
"He is right. Kakuzu, Hidan, go to the place where you were and look around for any clues."
"Yes sir." Kakuzu said. "Lets go Hidan."
"Oh what the fuck man. I just get here from a traumatizing event and you want me to go and look for shit." Hidan said as Kakuzu grabbed him and dragged him away. "Let go of me you ugly fuck." Hidan's scream was heard from the other room.
"Where is Zetsu and Tobi?" A voice came from a blue haired person.
"They are not here yet. They should get back any time now."
"Zetsu would be helpful here." Kisame said.
"Forget about that now. How did the war go Deidra?"
"Good yeah. The two villages were wiped out yeah." Deidra said as he sat down and took out his bag of remaining clay. "The one tailed demon was more than willing to destroy the villages yeah."
"What of the host?"
"He will be fine. But he is getting more unstable yeah. Maybe we should remove it and put it into another host?" Deidra asked.
"That would be good. Hidan would go yelling again when he hears that." Kisame said while drinking some tea.
"Forget about that. One more use of that host and then we will transfer the demon to another host."
Meanwhile, Hidan and Kakuzu approached the place where Hidan was tied up. The two members began to search without any luck.
"Can we go now? Its fucking obvious that there isn't anything here." Hidan said.
"Fine." Kakuzu replied.
Just as the two were about to go back, they sensed a familiar chakra.
"Holy fucking shit. What the fuck happened to you?" Hidan said as he and Kakuzu approached the injured figure.
"We got ambushed by something." Zetsu said. It just came out of the trees."
"You sound like some fucking leprechaun." Hidan said.
"Shut up Hidan. Go get a medical team here." Kakuzu said as Hidan left cursing at Kakuzu. "What happened to you? Where is Tobi?"
"I don't know. We were returning back from the cave when poison gas filled the air around us. I tried to go underground and see what was happening but I was attacked by some sort of sealing jutsu which cut off my chakra. I was a sitting duck while Tobi was trying to get the poison away from me." Zetsu said coughing as Hidan came back with a medical team. The medical team took Zetsu and put him on the stretcher and took him away with Hidan and Kakuzu following them.
After being treated from his injuries, Zetsu was resting in a bed with the other members of Akatsuki surrounding him.
"Kakuzu old us what you told him." Itachi said.
"What else happened?" The blue haired member asked.
"Well, while Tobi was getting the poison gas away from me, wires surrounded Tobi and he was dragged into the trees. After that, I heard nothing and remained motionless for a while. A couple of hours passed by when a person came upon me and helped me get out of the seal. Apparently, while I was motionless, the seal was injuring me from the inside. Some sort of seal which drained me of all my chakra then used that chakra to attack my internal organs." Zetsu said.
"And no news of Tobi?" Deidra asked.
"No. I don't know where he is." Zetsu said.
"When you get better, look for Tobi with your longest range. We need to find him fast."
"Yes sir." Zetsu replied.
Meanwhile, Tobi was chained up to a wall in a dark cave.
"So you are Deidra's partner. What art do you use?"
"Who are you?" Tobi asked.
"Me? I am no one you know. But you took something from me and I want it back with interest."
Tobi couldn't move or use any jutsu.
"Don't bother moving. I used a seal on you to prevent you from using any chakra. Not as powerful as the one I used on Zetsu but this one is doing its job."
"How do you know Zetsu? What is it that you want?" Tobi asked.
"I want that ring of yours. After that, I will need your life energy to give me back what I foolishly got rid of."
"Why do you want my ring. It won't make you join Akatsuki." Tobi said.
"Fool, You got into Akatsuki by finding that ring. And I don't want to go to that damned organization. It takes too much of your free time."
"How do you know of Akatsuki? Were you in it?" Tobi asked.
"Yes. But I was defeated by my own carelessness. And this time, I will fix that problem. I know of a jutsu which will give me back my body." The mysterious figure said while releasing the chains on Tobi's arms. "For this jutsu, I will need your arms since I cannot do it myself."
Tobi began to form hand signs which Tobi did not know of.
"This jutsu was developed by someone I know. She used it herself to bring back someone else back. She developed it to bring me back but never got the chance. Now I will use that jutsu to fulfill her lost dream. And your life force is needed for it."
The seal around Tobi fell off as Tobi could feel his chakra returning to him. Unluckily for Tobi, he couldn't move at all. It was as if someone else was controlling him.
"With this, my body will be back and that ring of yours will be returned to its original owner."

Author's Notes
1. I know I didn't put that disclaimer stuff before, but you all know Naruto doesn't belong to me.
2. Thanks to those who have read this and to those who have reviewed.
3. I am trying to keep this as close to the story as possible, but Kishimoto is too slow. I am now moving away from the stroy and making it in my own way now. You see this in this chapter.
4. If you cannot figure out who this person is, dont worry it will be explained in the next chapter, obviously.
thanks again to those who have read.
