Chapter 11

The meeting room was completely silent as everyone awaited the blood shed that was sure to come. Arianna's face was completely calm but they all could feel the swirling black chakra ready to pour out at any minute if pushed the wrong way.

After about 20 minutes of pure silence Pein finally spoke, "We have two options." Everyone looked to him, "One we go after Naruto and attempt to rescue him or two we continue with our plans for the jyuubi and then go and rescue Naruto."

"The first." Arianna and Itachi said simultaneously as both glared death at Pein. Arianna then stood and glared even more at everyone else. "However I don't think I'm enough to stop Raiden."

"Why? Aren't you more powerful than him?" Deidara asked from beside Sora. "I mean you're the daughter of Jyuubi right?"

"Yes I am but...so is Raiden." she admitted quietly.

"What do you mean Arianna-koi," Madara asked in his tobi voice, "Raiden can't your brother...can he?"

"I'm afraid he is." she said sadly, "But he is only half my brother. His mother died in childbirth."

"Why is your own brother after you?" Pein demanded.

"Because," Arianna began, "I inherited the Ultimate Sharingan from my father...and he didn't."

"You WHAT?" The Akatsuki side yelled. Madara was silent as though he were in shock, but Arianna knew he wasn't.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Konan asked in a quiet but shocked voice.

"You didn't ask." she pointed out and everyone face-palmed. "It won't make a difference anyways It would probably be harder to master than my beast was."

"You mean you've never used it?" cried the Akatsuki again.

"No," The room fell silent, "I only know I have it because when I opened my eyes for the first time they where there."

"So Raiden wants the ultimate Sharingan?" I nodded, "And that means he's trying to steal your eyes." At that I shook my head.

"The ultimate sharingan cannot be stolen, only given" she said looking over to Pein, "ANd mine would always be the more powerful."

"So how do we awaken yours up?" Hidan asked.

"We can't, It will only awaken when I can control it's power." Arianna said.

"Well this sucks!" Kisame yelled, "So what do we do?"

"The only logical option is to summon Jyuubi." Pein said.

"But What about Naruto!" Arianna shouted angrily. "He might not have that much time!"

"Then so be it!" Pein said glaring at Arianna, "We are S-class missing ninja we die all the time. It's why we don't get attached. Naruto wasn't strong enough and he'll pay the price."

"Arianna wanted to kill him as he and Konan walked out of the room. Konan throwing an apologetic look over her shoulder as she went.

"So that is the answer?" Arianna asked her red eyes sweeping over the others. Everyone looked away. "Fine." And she swept out of the room.

Time skip:

Machiko's P.O.V.

It was around 9PM and Arianna still had yet to emerge from her room. Even Tobi hadn't heard from her and I was officially worried, so using a trick she taught me I picked her lock and entered her room only to find it completely empty.

AT first I was confused. That is until I saw a small ring sitting on the desk. An Akatsuki ring. Her Akatsuki ring.

Taking off running I quickly ran to peins room and burst through the door not even caring about the fact Tobi was in there I screamed, "Arianna's missing!" and all hell broke loose.
