Chapter Fifteen

The two tailed cat's fate:

The Village hidden in the clouds

The oldest of the last of the Uchiha clan stood tall and proud in his black with red cloud coat overlooking the cloud village. He turned to see his shark partner come up behind him.

"They are here."

"Alright."

Itachi and Kisame walked up to meet up with Tobi, Deidara, and Zetsu. Deidara was currently trying to strangle Tobi due to the fact he had made comment about his hair making him look like the girl from the leaf village they were tracking. It wouldn't have been so bad if Tobi hadn't said that the girl was prettier than him.

"Cut it out Deidara." Growled Zetsu as the other two approached them.

"Well, are they near?" said Deidara as he let Tobi go.

"Right on schedule." Said Itachi.

"Good, so who gets who?" asked Tobi enthusiastic.

"I get Sasuke." Stated Itachi.

"Hmph, I want that shadow justsu guy and the fat kid." Smirked Deidara. ((All who know that Deidara is already dead say "He dead" Neji/shika/ten: He dead.))

"I want to take on Kakashi." Said Tobi.

Itachi raised an eyebrow but Deidara nodded and Itachi said nothing to object.

"Fine, then I get Yamato." Said Zetsu.

"Goodie, that leaves me with the little girls." Said Kisame.

"Wait what about the nine-tailed kid?" asked Tobi getting up from his spot.

Itachi said simply,

"What ever he does or teams up with, make sure that you injury him severely but DO NOT KILL HIM. Or I will kill you myself."

"I will keep after him." Suddenly came a voice.

The five turned to see a woman come towards them. She was almost as tall as Kisame and had blue hair with lily type flower in her hair.

"Well, well, if it isn't Moroiko, the forest child from the village hidden in the grass. What do we own the pleasure of your presence?" laughed Deidara. Behind her was another man, he was extremely tall and had black eyes and maroon colored hair.

"And her little toad, Masuyo, the ant freak also of the grass village."

"Shut it Deidara or I'll feed you to my flowers either that or have Moroiko's red ants bite you to death slowly." She snapped in her deep voice that had air of calmness like Itachi's voice.

"Masuyo will take care of the shadow kid that took out Hiden with Deidara." She said looking at blonde who glared but said nothing.

"Why did he send you and why Masuyo, he isn't officially part of Akatsuki." Kisame growled glancing at Moroiko.

"Simple, he is going to earn his ring and get it from one of those ninja or find where the others are. And our leader wants to make sure this is done right."

"But bring you in too isn't that a bit over kill?" asked Tobi.

"Considering that the kyuubi has escaped even our golden boy Uchiha here," She nodded towards Itachi.

"It's better safe than sorry." And with that, she teleported off.

"Just stay out of my way or else." Growled Kisume as he too disappeared. Itachi turned to the blonde and his dim witted companion.

"Don't fail or else." And with that he was gone.

Tobi nodded, Deidara snorted.

"What's up with the almighty Uchiha? Must be all testy about seeing his little brother. Either that or Moroiko and he are having romantic problems."

"What are they going out?" asked Tobi.

Deidara sighed.

"No you baka, it was a joke. Move it."

Tobi disappered and Deidara glared at Masuyo.

"Do you talk at all?"

"Not really." He said in a deep voice.

"That'll be a nice change." Deidara muttered under his breath as the two teleported away.

A little ways off Itachi caught up with Moroiko.

"You think you can just come and…."

"Look, there is a reason why I am the leader's right hand man. Don't push it just because you are the next to last Uchiha and you have that Sharigan eye doesn't make up for the mess ups."

"Just make sure you don't mess up Moroiko." Growled Itachi turning and leaving.

"Look, if you're worried that I'll take your glory from you to kill your brother you have nothing to worry about."

Itachi didn't turn as he said,

"I know you, stay away from Sasuke or else."

"Huh, even as strong as I am I would never pick a fight with an Uchiha not even your dumb little brother. He's all yours Itachi. I just want to meet the Uzumaki boy, I heard some fascinating things about him…" and with that Itachi jumped off.

"Your time is up little brother." Thought Itachi as they all got into spots waiting for the leaf ninja.

Speaking of….

The leaf ninja awoke to a…not too nice smell to put it nicely.

"Gyahh….what is that smell?!" said Ino covering her nose. Choji showed her a weird looking dish.

"It's a special dish from the sand village. Gaara-sama said it was his favorite."

"Why do I have a feeling he was pulling your leg?" muttered Shikamaru.

"If I didn't know better I'd say that Gaara-sama has gotten a sense of humor." Chuckled Kakashi as he went to pack.

"Do I really wanna know what's in it?" asked Sakura cocking an eyebrow.

"Uh…acutely I don't know."

Sakura and Ino sweatdropped.

"Leave it to Choji…" sighed Ino.

"Well at least our enemies won't have trouble finding us." Chuckled Sasuke.

"We could always throw that at them." Smirked Naruto.

Choji just ignored them and ate it.

"Choji is there anything that you've ever eaten that you never liked?" asked Naruto as they started to move.

"Uh…nope."

Shikamaru chuckled as Naruto rolled his eyes.

Back in Konoha…

Tsunade sighed as she read the latest report. She turned to look at Jiraiya.

"I don't like the sounds of the latest report…There's word that they have gotten another demon…"

"Are you going to send Kunernai's team out?"

"Yeah, I just don't like the feel of this…oh could you go with them? I'd send Neji with them but he is out with Sai and TenTen of course so would you?"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow at her.

"Why can't…?"

Tsunade laughed.

"You can thank Asuma for that."

For a second Jiraiya didn't quite get it but then a light bulb flashed on.

"Oh…I got ya. Can't blame him being a good husband! Sure I'll go. It's probably better that I go anyway."

Tsunade chuckled and nodded and watched as her old teammate went to find Hinata, Kiba, and Shino.

"Wow, it's foggy." Said Naruto casually.

"Duh lame brain why do you think it's called the "village hidden in the clouds?"

"Oh shut it Shikamaru you smart ass, I was just making a comment!"

"How about both of you shut it?" grumbled Sakura as she was being helped by Sasuke up the steep rock hill they were going up. Choji was assisting Ino. All of them were somewhat dirty from all the climbing that they had been doing.

When they reached the top they all had to stop to take a breath.

"Why is hard to breath?" complained Choji.

"Higher altitude." Explained Kakashi. He looked around and said looking over his shoulder to Naruto,

"Did you notice that we are being followed?" Naruto looked up and nodded.

"Looks about two of them, and I'm pretty sure it's Akatsuki members." Muttered Sasuke.

"Should we grab them?" asked Ino crouching down beside Sakura who had her hands on her knees.

"Nah, I don't think so, if they waited a fight they would have attacked long ago. Let's leave them for the moment." Suggested Shikamaru lightly.

"I agree let's go." Said Kakashi and the group kept going.

When the group got to the edge of the village, after climb a large stairway that was build into the side of the mountain. Sakura looked around and asked,

"Where is the village?"

Yamato pointed up.

"Up that way, it is built were they have a 360 degree view all around so that no matter what they can see who's coming.

Naruto was looking around when he spotted something. He saw a little girl looking at them in the scarce bushes.

"Hi there…hey wait!"

When he called out the girl, her bright blue eyes got wide and she ran. And Naruto therefore went after her.

"Naruto! Where are you…? Naruto!" called Sakura after him then followed with the others behind her.

Naruto followed the young red haired girl along a winding path and then came to a stop to a small clearing. Naruto saw the young girl crouching and crying in front of a grave. There was a large amount of flowers laid in front of it. When Naruto walked towards her the girl's braid wiped around as she turned her head. Her eyes were blue and wide with fear. She shank back to the head stone.

"W-who are you?" she whimpered.

"My name is Naruto." He said quietly, kneeing in front of her so he could look at her better.

"I'm from the village hidden in the leaves." He said kindly.

The girl looked over him then pointed at his head band.

"Y-you're a ninja."

"Yep!" he smiled. Just then, the others came up behind them. The girl grew fearful but Naruto quickly said,

"No it's okay they're my friends, they're from the hidden leaf village too." He told her. Sakura saw the girl and slowly walked over and crouched beside Naruto and said in a soft voice.

"That's right. We're friends. My name is Sakura. What's yours?"

She relaxed a little when she realized that they weren't going to harm her and said in a slightly stronger voice,

"My name is Makoto and I'm from here, the village hidden in the clouds."

"Makoto, why did you run away from us?" asked Sakura gently.

"I-I thought that you were maybe those ninja from before that-that…" she looked miserably at the grave behind her.

"What ninja Makoto?" asked Kakashi lightly walking a little forward.

"I don't know…they had head bands but they were scratched…"

Naruto and Sakura glanced at each then Sakura asked,

"Did they have black coats with red clouds?"

She nodded.

"When they came, I was going to give Yugito flowers but some men came and…these two men came…one was from I think the waterfall village the other one I don't know. They both were really strange looking."

"I bet it was Hidan and Kakuzu." Muttered Shikamaru, a nasty taste in his mouth.

"What happened when the men appeared?" asked Ino who also walking slightly forward towards the young cloud villager.

"Yugito lured them off and then a few d-days later…they found h-her dead…" at this point she burst into tears.

"Was she your friend?" asked Naruto sadly.

Makoto nodded and kept crying.

"S-she was like my b-big sister." She sniffed.

"I wanted to be a ninja like her when I was older because she was so strong. She didn't have any other family and said I was her l-little sister."

Naruto just looked at her sadly and inside his anger toward Akatsuki got stronger.

"So they got the two cat demon…" said the Kyuubi wondering into his own thoughts and did not say anything more to Naruto.

Kakashi glanced behind him and nodded when Yamato looked at him. Kakashi looked back to Makoto and said,

"Why don't I take you back to the village?" he asked lightly. Makoto looked at him then at Naruto, who chuckled,

"It's okay; he's my old sensei, he may look creepy but he's okay."

"Gee, thanks Naruto." Thought Kakashi as Makoto took the lead with Kakashi not far behind.

Naruto watched them go then turned back to Yugito's grave. He paid his respects to her then said still looking at grave,

"They are going to pay for this. They are going to pay for what they did to Yugito-san."

Ino looked at his back then said,

"But, you didn't even know her Naruto…"

"So what? I feel like I knew her…she had a demon and grew up just like me…and Makoto is just like Konohamaru…."

"Oh…" Both Sasuke and Sakura kneeled beside him and gave a pray too and Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru silently did as Yamato turned his head to see if Kakashi was back yet.

Suddenly, all of them looked up and jumped back away from the grave. Kakashi watched Makoto enter the village and as he was heading back he stopped suddenly in his tracks and looked around listening.

The others glared around listing. Suddenly, the blonde known as Deidara appeared in front of them on top of Yugito's grave.

"Well, well, what do we have here…?"

"You…." Glared Naruto pulling out his kunai.

"Heh, yeah it's me kid."

"Now is a perfect time to give you some pay back for Gaara-san." Growled Naruto.

"Sorry to disappoint you kid but I'm not the one who I got to fight. Normally I would love to rip you apart but I'm under orders."

"Whose orders?" asked Shikamaru taking a step forward.

Deidara smiled a twisted smile at him.

"Hmph, Sorry, but I'm afraid you won't live long enough for me to tell you." And with that, Deidara threw one of his mini clay bombs. They tried to jump but it was too late; Sasuke and Sakura flew in one direction, Ino not far from them, Yamato flew way back by himself, and Naruto, Choji and Shikamaru went the other way opposite of Sasuke and Sakura.

Kakashi heard the explosion and went to run but suddenly someone appeared in front of the copy cat ninja. The figure straightened up and looked at him. He was wearing a weird mask and had black hair.

"Tobi I presume?" asked Kakashi lightly as got into a fight stance.

The man smirked.

"The one and only Kakashi." The ninja went to jump but tripped and fell flat on his face.

He quickly got up and in a very humorous fashion said,

"You didn't see that!"

Kakashi sweatdropped.

"Why do I always get the nut jobs?"

Naruto, Shikamaru and Choji all dusted off and stood up looking around.

"Damn it, I hate it when he does that." He growled. He went to go find everyone else when suddenly a woman with a flower in her hair and Deidara jumped in front of them.

"Sad to hear that." He smirked.

"You get the kyuubi right?" he said looking at the strange woman who was wearing a grass head band a scratch across it.

She smiled and jumped right behind Naruto.

"You know," she whispered into his ear, freaking out all three boys,

"You're kinda cute for only a fifteen year old.

Naruto smirked and swung a Rasengan punch at her making her retreat.

"I just turned sixteen three months ago."

"To bad you won't make it to your seventeenth year." She grinned doing a hand sign and bringing forth a large sword made of chakra and vines.

Naruto smirked and pulled out his kunai.

"Alright fatso, you first." Said Deidara pulling out a clay figure. When he said that Shikamaru cringed and Naruto sweatdropped.

"Well it was nice knowing ya." Said Shikamaru putting his hands behind his head and looking at him with pity.

"Why….?" Deidara cringed when he saw the death glare he was getting from Choji.

"Oh shi-"

Choji charged forward with a chakra empowered arm and swung, hitting the blonde Akatsuki member and sending him flying.

"Your teammate isn't too bright." Said Naruto looking at the girl.

"Don't have to tell me that." The two then turned back to each other and started to duel.

Shikamaru sweatdropped and sighed.

"Troublesome idiot, any body with half a brain would know better then to call somebody the size of Choji fat…he's not really fat anyway." Suddenly Shikamaru felt something crawling up his pants. He looked down to see what looked like fire ants going up his pant leg. As he quickly swiped the bugs off, he jumped back to see a tall guy in a long black coat with maroon hair and black eyes wearing a grass head band as well with a scratch.

Shikamaru's eyes got wider when he noticed that the red ants were crawling from the opponent.

"Aw crap this guy is like Shino only he has fire ants which just by themselves can be deadly. To boot I don't know if my shadow jutsus will work on the ants!"

Suddenly the ants grouped together and went towards the Nara like a tidal wave.

"Damn!" he said as he jumped out of the way.

Sasuke shook his head and then looked around. He saw Sakura get up wipe herself off. She then ran towards him but he glanced at her in a way that made her stop and glance around.

"It's him." He muttered loud enough for her to hear. Her eyes widen then narrowed as she pulled out her kunai and went back to back with her Uchiha. He could sense his brother's strong chakra and the two barely jumped out of the way when he appeared, his arm alight with a strange fire. When the two stood glaring at the Uchiha careful not to look into his eyes, they heard Ino's scream and an explosion behind them.

"Sakura! Go help Ino."

"But…!"

"I'll handle Itachi just go help Ino!"

Sakura looked uncertainly at her boyfriend but knew better to argue and ran off to find her best friend. Itachi chuckled as the pink haired ninja left.

"You think your strong enough little brother?" Sasuke said nothing his face blank.

"You really think that? Foolish little brother you will never be strong enough. You let love blind you." Sasuke eyes narrowed.

"Yes little brother, I figured out about you and that girl. You plan to marry her? Too bad you won't live long enough."

"We'll just see, big brother." Said Sasuke drawing his sword.

"Well, little girl you ready to die? You're not much of an opponent. Too bad." He said swinging his scaled sword at Ino who was barely able to get out of the way. Just then, a kunai came whistling past Kisume cutting the former mist ninja's face.

"She may not be but I am." Came Sakura's voice. Ino stood up and smiled at the shark, Sakura also wearing a smug smile.

"So you little girls think you can compete with one of the seven sword's men? The younger Uchiha boy or the nine-tailed brat would have stood a better chance than you two." Sakura's smile didn't falter but she was thinking frankly he was right.

"From what Lee and them told me we may not stand a chance. If Neji, Lee, TenTen and Guy could barely fight him what chance does Ino and I have…unless…" Sakura smiled again then jumped over the Akatsuki member to beside Ino.

"Have a plan, billboard?"

"Yeah you could say that, Ino pig."

Kisume laughed then swung his sword again at the two who again jumped out of the way.

Yamato and Zetus only glared at each other not saying a word. Then Zetus sent vines towards Yamato.

"Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall!" yelled Yamato, trapping the large Venus fly trap of Akatsuki who some how broke through and went charging towards Yamato.

Kakashi and Tobi clashed, kunai sparking.

"He may act weird but he's no push over." Thought Kakashi as he followed the enemy ninja with his Sharigan eye.

"Come on little girls, is that all you've got?" teased the shark as he swung he sword as Ino jumped out of the way; Kisume bringing down the tree behind where Ino had been.

"Come now little brother." Smirked Itachi as he and Sasuke exchanged blows kunai against sword.

"You haven't seen anything yet." Smirked Sasuke right back which made Itachi's face go blank and charged again, sharing a blow with his younger brother.

Deidara was trying to get Choji with his bombs but Choji was moving and hitting so fast, he was having a hard time getting the large ninja. He pulled a clay bomb and flung it behind Choji, unfortunately he wasn't fast enough this time and flew backwards into the side of the mountain.

"Choji!" yelled Shikamaru.

"I would be more worried about yourself instead of your team mate." Muttered Masuyo, another wave of fire ants going towards him.

Naruto teeth were clenched as he and the girl fought.

"Who the heck are you anyway?"

The girl did a back flip and jumped onto a rock and said,

"My name is Moroiko Floradorsi. The forest child formerly of the village hidden in the grass. And you Naruto Uzumaki, are the last ticket to Akasuki's ride to power."

Naruto eyes widen.

"You mean…?"

"Yes little fox; you are the last demon we need. We have all eight other demons."

Naruto glared at her, his eyes starting to glow red.

"Boy I hope that Naruto and the others are alright." Said Hinata as she, Shino, Kiba and Jiraiya jumped quickly towards the cloud village.

"Me too." Muttered Jiraiya as Naruto dodged a large plant with teeth as Moroiko summoned it from the ground.
