Chapter 5 Meeting Pein and Konan

'Where is she' I thought. 'Damn, when was she going to tell me that she sleep walks,' I kept thinking of possibilities of what might have happened to her. I looked around me and still couldn't find her. So I walked on trying to think that she was in the next town, looking for some breakfast. When I got to the next town she wasn't there either. I sighed and stayed on task on staying and moving away from the village. So I was walking down a path to the next town, and I bumped into two people in strange cloaks. The cloaks were all black, save for the red cloud pattern on them. One of them was a female, the other was a male, from what I could tell. The female looked at me and I saw a pair of hurtful and sad looking eyes. The male then turns to look at me. I ignored him and kept walking towards the next town.

"Hey! Are you a ninja?" I hear the female call to me. I kept on my way trying to ignore her but her jutsu stopped me from continuing my journey. I looked at her, and turned around. Then I stopped in my tracks due to the man being in my way.

"Yeah, what about it?" I responded with the same iciness that I used towards the men who fell in love with my best friend. I looked around to find an escape route, and…

"Are you a rogue ninja?" the man interrupted my thoughts. 'How did they know?' I thought to myself although it felt like I whispered it out loud. I don't remember if I did or not. I looked around me again. After a couple of minutes of awkward silence, I decided to answer.

"So what about me being a rogue ninja? I mean I ran away to look for my best friend," I half-heartily said to them.

"Follow us," the female commanded me. I stare at them in disbelief. I reluctantly followed them even though they didn't know about me and I didn't know about them. After traveling for a couple of minutes, I found myself looking at the base in front of me. It was small, but it was very well hidden. I stayed in the front not following them inside, until the lady noticed me outside. "Are you coming in or not? I prefer that I talk to you inside than outside. The trees have ears, so you really never have privacy until you have walls around you that you absolutely trust," she replies. I followed her inside. She took me to their living room.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about? Not to be rude or anything, but I don't know you and you don't know anything about me," I replied as I sat down on the couch.

"Well, aren't you a smart one. My name is Konan. The man you saw with me is Nagato, but the world knows him as Pein," she replies. I just nodded at that.

"I'm Uchiha Itachi," I responded as casually as I could. "So, what did you really want to talk to me about?" I continued. I looked around the room.

"Well, we wanted you to help us, and we would help you look for your friend," the man in the corner, Pein, I think his name was, says. I looked in his direction.

"What do you mean I help you and you help me?" I asked slightly confused. I looked at them both, and started getting a little crept out by the way they were looking at me expecting me to answer right away.

"Well… if you decide to join us and show the world what true pain and hurt is, we would gladly help you with looking for your friend," the lady named Konan explained.

"Why do you want me to help you?" I asked again. I looked for more explanations but couldn't find the answer on their faces.

"The world is one big sphere, we need to show them what we've all been through. You have been hurt badly not to long ago. We could see it in your eyes," the lady continued. She looked at me, with hopeful eyes that they had convinced me to join them. But sadly she was mistaken, I had one more question.

"If I join, how do you plan on helping me find my friend?" I asked my final question with certain that they had no clue on how to help me look for her.

"We would send you on many missions and we could put up wanted posters," Pein said from his corner.

"So do we have a deal?" Konan said.

"Umm…. I guess we do have a deal," I replied. This was better than my plan. I was going to continue to stay away from the village and I wanted to find Hisaga right now. So I reluctantly agreed to play along with what ever they had planned for me.

The Next Morning…

The news about my whole clan being murdered, had caught up to me. I didn't like thinking about how my parents looked like, but they knew it was a mission. I went outside for some fresh air, then Konan came up to me saying that there was someone from the village hidden in the mist, that they wanted me to convince. I was surprised that they didn't ask about what had happened to my clan. So I left for the Hidden in the Mist Village. Later that afternoon, I stopped by a coffee place and drank coffee, that way I have enough energy to walk all day. When I started down the path, I ran into a blue faced man. It was rather interesting, he looked like the man, Konan wanted me to convince. I turned around and he was about to say something, when I activated my sharigan. He was now trapped in my jutsu. I told him not to say a word, or call for help, I took him to a more private place to try and convince him to join the group.

Well that is chapter 5 for all of you. Hope you enjoyed it, and I'll try to post quicker than this time. Mid-terms are coming up, so I'm stuck on studying. Please Review!
