Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto, or any of the characters.
Tsume, Shio, Temo, and Meo however are mine, and if you would like to use them, please ask me 1st. Thank you.
Side Note: This is the 1st Naruto Fanfic that I have ever done, and the 1st one in a very long time. (In 5 years) Please be nice, however I would still like to hear/read, what you think and have to say about it. It's the only way to improve.
About the Story: This is an AU story line. I have not seen all of the shows and I have not read any of the mangas so I am unsure as to what happens in the real story line.
I do know about the Characters and I have done some reading so I hope I won't let anyone down.
In this story, there will be Adventure, Drama, Romance and a lot of other stuff. There is a main plot, with some small ones worked in to keep it going. It's going to take a few chapters to get the ball rolling and in order to allow everything to fall into place.
I love Sakura and what she stands for and I tell the truth I don't know who I am going to pear her up with, as the store builds, please let me know who you would like to see her end up with.
This Story tells about the Akatsuki and how it came to be, and the history that is behind it. About the truth behind it, and everything that they have done, it explains the history of Orochimaru, Tsunade, the 4th Hokage, Jiraiya, and the leader of Akatsuki. How over time, something that started out as just a goal to become more powerful, has affected so many and started a war.

Part ONE
Chapter FIVE
"Prepare For War"
"Shizune, would you please send these scrolls to every head member of every clan." Tsunade asked as she handed her twenty small scrolls. She had been up all night writing all the scrolls by hand, Jiraiya held as much he could. She had insisted they know in full what was going on, and had asked that they all be present at the meeting that would take place in a few hours.
"Yes ma'am." Without wasting any time she took the scrolls and left.
"You should go home and shower before you have to address the village." Jiraiya said looking over this old teammate.
"I don't have time to take a shower, there is still too much I need to get done before the meeting." She answered still reading over some more scrolls.
With a sigh he walked around the desk and picked her up, not lessening to her telling him to out her down, he walked over to the window and jumped out, making his way to her house. Once he got there he put her down and looked at her.
"Oh look, how did we get here? Well seeing as how we are here, you should go in and take a shower and relax of then next few hours." Before she could argue with him, he was gone.
"Crazy old man." She thought to herself. "What would I do without him?"
Some where outside Konoha
Jumping from tree to tree Kabuto took his time thinking about how he was going to get into the village. He was a known criminal, and he was more then wanted in Konoha. So he thought it best to stop by a small village the was on the outskirts and see if he could pick up on any rumors that where floating around; something, anything to give him a way in.
Leaping from the tree to the ground he looked around to see if there was anyone around, and did a jutsu to hide who se was. Instead of having silver hair and blue eyes, he took on black hair and brown eyes, nothing that would turn any heads. He also took off his gear and put it into a pack and pulled out a long traveling cloak.
Walking into the village, he looked around and saw that everyone keeping to there own business.
"Hey you there, are you lost?" Came a voice behind him, he knew that he had to come up with something fast or he would be found out.
"Oh, I'm not from around here, I'm here looking for someone." He said, lying came easy to him and it was something that he was good at.
"Oh you must be looking for that boy." The man said walking up to him. "The one that was found outside of Konoha about a month ago, poor kid was in really bad shape. I hear that he has been under the care of Konoha's top medic."
"Lady Tsunade, yes I have heard of her."
"No, not her, she is far too busy with running the village to do things like that. Her student, Sakura Haruno has been taking care of him. She has been trying real hard to find his family." The man said with a smile.
'Oh this is way too good.' Kabuto thought to himself. "Oh it good to know that he has been taken care of, I'm his uncle, I've been looking for him for some time now." He said acting like a great weight had been lifted.
"Well I'll tell you what, I was just on my way to the village to gather some things, why don't you come with me and I'll walk to the hospital. If you haven't been to Konoha before you could be lost real fast.
"Oh I don't want to bother you. I'm sure I can find it on my own."
"Oh no, It'll have someone nice to talk to on the way there." The older man said.
'You have no idea.' Kabuto thought. This was going better then he would have liked it to have. Not only was he going to walk right into the village, he had already found out that Tsunade had thought someone else how to heal as good as her… and not only that… it was Sakura… Sasuke's old teammate and best friend to the Kyubi container.
They walked to the man's house where he grabbed a few things and then they where off.
Inside the Council Hall
"What do you mean?" A councilman asked as he stood.
"I mean that this isn't going to be a easy battle, it's going to be a war! Orochimaru has been teaching Sasuke all his forbidden jutsu's, we won't be just fighting Orochimaru, but someone who could very well be stronger then him. We need to be ready for anything." Tsunade said. It had only been a few minutes and they had already started to question her. She was glad the she had taken that shower…. She would never have been able to last this long had she not taken it.
Looking around she saw that all the head clan members where on one side, the councilmen on another and the squad leaders in the back. Shikamaru was on her right and where Jiraiya was yesterday sat Naruto. Sakura was in the back taking everything in, waiting for her time to step in to say something if it was needed.
"And what are we going to do to get ready for it, Lady Tsunade?" Came the voice of one of the clan members. Before she could say anything, Naruto took this as his queue to step in.
"We train and train hard. Every Genin, Chuunin, Jounin and ANBU well be training every day, however they well not be training with the same team every day. Each ANBU member will over see the training and make sure that everything is balanced. I think it is also very important that one member of each team train in the art of healing. Right now we only have a hand full of medic-nins who know what they are doing. There is going to come a time when Lady Tsunade and Sakura are not going to be able to heal, so we need ninja to be able to not only heal themselves, but other's."
"I know that you all have questions, but we have told you everything that we, ourselves know. We are just wasting time here sitting around." He addressed the council.
Those who knew him couldn't help but smile. He had just proven to the whole room why Lady Tsunade had chosen him to be the Sixth Hokage.
"Naruto is right." Shikamaru said standing up. "We are wasting time." And before anyone knew what was going on, he had gotten up, and walked over to the door, Naruto following. Soon the rest of the Shinobi in the room stood, bowing to the councilmen, and then walked out.
"Well it looks like that ends the meeting." Jiraiya said as he looked to Sakura.
"Yeah, guess I get to play teacher." She laughed. She knew that Shizune, Lady Tsunade, and herself where the only ones that could really teach what the others need to know.
In a Cave Somewhere in the Land of Rock
"You're late." A calm yet strong voice said.
Bowing a figure in a black cloak with red clouds, stopped with his partner close behind him. "I am sorry for being so late, yeah. It would seem that we may have a small problem."
"What Deidara is trying to say, Lord, is Orochimaru has a small army now. Not that it's a big deal to us, more for us to kill, but we didn't want to do anything without your orders. Sir." The man said that was standing behind Deidara.
Looking back to the Deidara, the man stood up from where he was sitting, the others in the room also stood. "Is this true Deidara?" He asked as he walked around the two men. "Is Orochimaru stupid in thinking that a small army will keep us from getting the ring back?"
The others gave a small laugh.
"Um, I don't think that's why he has a army, I mean we all know that he is scared of us, well ok not all of us, but Itachi." Deidara said. "It looks like he is planning on attacking. We don't know who, but he has been training Sasuke himself, so it would be safe to say that he may be after The Leaf Village."
At the sound of his brothers name Itachi let out a small growl. IT was clear to everyone in the room, that he wasn't pleased in what he had learned.
"This could work for us." He walked back over to his chair and sat down. "We will let Orochimaru attack the Hidden Leaf Village, and then when they defeat him, as he slithers away, all we need to do is walk up and pull it off his finger."
