I DO NOT OWN NARUTO AND/OR THE CHARACTERS

And Here We…Go

Sai: Do what you have to, I'll never tell you anything.

Naruto: What? I don't think you get the point of an interrogation. Where's Ibiki when you need him? I'm about to start cutting you, okay?

Konohamaru: It won't make a difference.

Naruto: Why not?

Konohamaru: Show them.

Naruto: Show us what?

Sai sticks his tongue out to show them the seal Danzo put on it.

Isamu: Sick.

Sasuke: What is that?

Konohamaru: It's a seal that Danzo puts on the tongue of all his followers.

Naruto: Seal you tounge? I always though that was a figure of speech, this guy is really covers his ass.

Itachi: What does it do?

Konohamaru: A while back, I managed to capture one of those from Root. I questioned him for hours on end until frustration set in. In my frustration, I lost my head and began torturing him for answers. After he reached his limit, he began to speak of Danzo then his body became paralyzed and his eyes looked as if his brain shut off or something.

Naruto: Damn it, just when I got good with this thing. Can any of you two do anything with your sharingan?

Itachi: Let's see.

Itachi looks Sai in the eye and enters his mind with the mangekyo sharingan.

Sai: What are you doing?

Itachi: Nothing you need to worry about.

Naruto and the other watch until Itachi finishes.

Sasuke: Well?

Itachi: It's strange, maybe it's because I was looking through his eye but Danzo seems to have good intentions.

Sasuke: Good intentions?

Itachi: At least, he believes his intentions are good.

Naruto: What does he want?

Itachi: He believes that the shinobi world is too chaotic, he wants to systematically bring every village, every shinobi under one rule, his rule.

Isamu: Including my village.

Itachi: Yes, after he's consolidated enough power. He plans to counter the Hostile Village's brutality with sheer numbers and bring them under his control, except for your clan.

Isamu: Really?

Itachi: He still bears a grudge against your grandfather for his eye and arm. Although, this one here is suspicious of his eye and arm.

Sasuke: What do you mean?

Itachi: He isn't sure but he has a strange feeling about them.

Konohamaru: Why does he want to unite the shinobi villages?

Itachi: After he takes the villages, he plans to set his sites on the rest of the world. He believes that he know what's best for everyone.

Naruto: Something's gotta be done about this guy.

Sasuke: What else did you find out?

Itachi: Well, remember what I said I about changing the minds of his followers?

Sasuke: Yeah?

Itachi: Not a possibility, these guys would die for Danzo if he wished it so.

Naruto: So what do we have to do?

Itachi: The only thing I can think of is freeing those he imprisoned. We'll need all the help we can get to combat him and his followers.

Konohamaru: Easier said than done, I've tried once or twice and the prison security is tighter than fish pussy.

Itachi: I'll see what I can pull from his mind.

He goes back into Sai's mind to search for information on the Leaf prison.

Itachi: Konohamaru's right, the prison is heavily guarded.

Sasuke: Isn't there any way in?

Itachi: It seems that they switch at dawn and sundown, which seems to be the most opportune time. We should strike about two hours before that, under the cover at night when they should be a little tired.

Isamu: Well, it's the middle of the afternoon, what should we do 'til then?

Itachi: Prepare yourselves, this begins tonight.

He gets up to leave the room.

Naruto: Where are you going?

Itachi: To get some rest.

Naruto and Sasuke look at each other as he leaves the room, Sasuke follows Itachi.

Sasuke: Hey, what's wrong?

Itachi: Nothing.

Sasuke: Don't give me that, you've been sleeping a lot lately and you look like you're always dragging. I know something's wrong with you, what is it?

Itachi: I'm sick, Sasuke.

Sasuke: What?

Itachi: Disease is starting to eat away at me, the only thing that's kept me going is this medicine and will power.

Sasuke: Isn't there anything that can be done?

Itachi: It's a rare disease and there only one person still alive that's dealt with it.

Sasuke: Who?

Itachi: Lady Tsunade.

Sasuke: Don't worry, I've just got my brother back and I'm not going to let this take you away from me. Rest up, our first order of business is to rescue her.

Sasuke leaves the room to let Itachi rest, he goes and rejoins Naruto, Konohamaru, and Isamu.

Naruto: He alright?

Itachi: He's fine.

Naruto: Okay. Hey, I just had a thought.

Sasuke: I remember when I had my first one.

Naruto: Anyway, you guys can have Danzo.

Sasuke: Why'd you change your mind?

Naruto: Because there's someone who's screwed me over more than Danzo.

Sasuke: Who?

Naruto: Your clansman, Madara?

Sasuke: How'd you come to that realization?

Naruto: Well, think about it, if it wasn't for Danzo, Itachi wouldn't have killed you family. On the flip side, if Madara hadn't summoned the Fox, my father wouldn't have had to seal it within me and he'd still be alive. He took my father and condemned me to the fucked up life I had then he has the gall to hunt me down, that's a triple whammy.

Sasuke: I guess you're right, go for it.

Later that night, they were staked out in front of the Leaf prison.

Itachi: Okay, according to Sai's information, our friends are all scattered in different sections to keep them separated. We have two choices, we could stay together which would take longer but is the safer plan.

Naruto: What's the other?

Itachi: We could split up, which would be faster but riskier.

Naruto: I think we should take the second choice, besides you aren't alone as long as you have those kunai I gave you.

Konohamaru: What's so special about these?

Naruto: If you're in trouble just through them next to your enemy and I'll appear.

Itachi: So, we're taking the second plan?

Naruto: Yeah.

Sasuke: Yeah.

Isamu: I'm easy

Konohamaru: Sound's good.

Itachi: Naruto, Isamu, you stay here.

Naruto: Why?

Itachi: I'll go in with Sasuke and Konohamaru, and then we'll throw your kunai and bring you in.

Naruto: I get it, to disguise our numbers.

Itachi: Let's go.

They approach the front gate to the prison as stealthily as they could. Itachi places a genjutsu on them which allows them to walk on in.

Konohamaru: That was eas…

Guard #1: Stop right there!

Konohamaru: Spoke too soon.

A few guards stand before them.

Guard #2: Trying again, Konohamaru? At least you've smartened up and brought help this time.

Konohamaru: Shut up.

Konohamaru throws two special kunai which the guards easily dodge.

Guard #1: Please, who do you think we are?

Naruto and Isamu sense the kunai outside.

Naruto: And here we…go.

They teleport behind guards and kill every last one of them.

Naruto: I finally got to use this thing.

Itachi: There's no going back, we either do what we came to do or die trying.
