Reviews make me happy!

Chapter 4

Pakkun and Kakashi-Sensei jumped through the trees, from tree branch to tree branch. "How much farther are they Pakkun?" Kakashi-Sensei asked.

"Well, we should be able to get there in another day or two if we don't hurry!" Pakkun answered.

"But if we do hurry?"

"Well, if we do hurry, we'll get there in about twelve hours or maybe more then that, but less then a day!" Pakkun replied as Kakashi-Sensei nodded.

…

Naruto walked around the halls of the Akatsuki Base, trying to become familiar with it. He opened a door and there was nothing inside but a bed. He closed it and continued walking until he found three more doors. He opened the first, nothing, he moved on to the second, nothing, so he moved on to the third, and there was a scene of Deidara strangling Tobi with his legs. Tobi raised his left palm up towards Naruto.

"HELP ME! HELP! HELP ME PLEAAASSEE!" Tobi cried. His eyes widened when he looked at Naruto's hair. "AAAGGHHH! YOU! Can't fool me with that Deidara! You gave yourself away when you made that clay puppet have blonde hair! Just like yours! BE GONE FILTH!" Tobi announced. Naruto sweat-dropped and closed the door ever so slowly.

…

Sakura was also walking around the halls of the Akatsuki Base, trying to become familiar with it. She opened various doors to various rooms and found nothing. Soon enough, she opened a door of the same room in which Tobi was being strangled by Deidara's legs. By now the orange-masked boy's orange mask had even turned blue from the lack of air. Sakura sweat-dropped and closed the door and continued walking, but in a more disturbed way.

….

"Alright, let's stop here, it's getting dark!" Kakashi-Sensei announced as he and Pakkun dropped down into an open field. As soon as they did, Kakashi-Sensei noticed a pile of burnt woods in the middle of the clearing. Pakkun noticed it as well.

"Do you think they were here?" Kakashi-Sensei wondered.

"It's possible…" Pakkun said as he took a sniff around the entire clearing and the burnt wood. "Yes, they were definitely here, I can smell the scent of Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke."

"Well, we learned from the gate-keepers that Naruto and Sakura were in Sasuke's arms, so he must've somehow managed to knock them both out, and, if I know my students well enough, that's not an easy thing to do!" Kakashi-Sensei pondered. "But, don't you think they would have awakened on the way?"

"They probably did! Do you think they continued to go along with Sasuke on their own free will?" Pakkun replied.

"It can't be, Naruto and Sakura are just too loyal to the Leaf Village to do something like that, besides, Naruto's dream is…" Kakashi-Sensei started.

"Is?" Pakkun pressed.

"Is to become the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village." Kakashi-Sensei finished. Pakkun's eyes widened.

"Hokage, Huh? Do you think he'll ever be able to be become Hokage?"

…..

Naruto had walked into a room which didn't have any lights. He walked in and closed the door. In his search for a switch, he bumped into someone. Both quickly looked around for a switch, bumping again and again into each other, but apologizing again and again. "Oh, Sorry!" Naruto said.

"No, sorry! It was my fault!"

"Ughhh! Darn it! Sorry!"

"Sorry!"

Finally Naruto found the switch and turned the lights on. He put his hands in front of his eyes, the light blinding him. When he was able to see clearly, he spotted the other person, who had also apparently been blinded by the light.

"Uhhh…." Naruto mumbled. "Tobi?"

"YESSSSSSSSAAAAHHHH…." Tobi squeaked as Naruto sweat-dropped.

"What are….you doing?" Naruto asked, Tobi's strangeness creeping him out.

"I'm hiddinnngggaaahhh…from Deidaraaaaahhhhh!" he squeaked. "Heeeeehhh Wantsaaaahh mynah throaaattaah!"

Naruto sweat-dropped. "Ooookaaay…" Naruto dragged the word out and slowly made his way to the door. "Well, see ya!" Naruto called opening the door.

"SSEEEEEE YAAAAHHHHH!" Tobi called. That was when Deidara burst in from the other door across the room.

"THERE YOU ARE YOU FOOL! YOU WONT ESCAPE FROM MEEEE!" Deidara yelled, and that was when Naruto had had enough and shut the door and ran off.

…..

Kakashi-Sensei and Pakkun jumped from tree branch to tree branch, nearing their desired location. "We're getting closer!" Pakkun announced.

"To Sasuke?" Kakashi-Sensei asked.

"No, well, yes and no, we're getting closer to the place Sasuke's at." Pakkun explained as the white-haired Jounin nodded.

"I've got a bad feeling about this…" Kakashi-Sensei remarked as they neared their location, spotting a cave.

"Why?"

"This looks too much like the cave the Akatsuki were hiding in when we were sent to rescue the Kazekage…." Kakashi-Sensei didn't know how right he was.

"Your right…We better keep our guard up!" Pakkun said as Kakashi-Sensei nodded.

When they landed in-front of the cave they were standing in a small river. "Well, we're here!" Pakkun said.

"Alright, Pakkun, Lady Tsunade said that she'd send a back up squad after me, so I need you to-"

"Go find them and bring them here." Pakkun finished for Kakashi-Sensei who sweat-dropped and nodded.

"Uhh, yeah."

"Alright, be careful!" Pakkun said as Kakashi-Sensei nodded. Pakkun disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Kakashi-Sensei walked forward towards the giant rock and put his right palm on it. "It doesn't look like it has a seal on it…" he observed.

"Very good observation Kakashi, however it will not aid you in any way for what's about to happen to you." Kakashi-Sensei shot his head towards the source of the familiar voice to his right. Standing there was none other then Itachi.

"Why is it that every time I go after anything that's related to the Akatsuki, whether I know it's related to the Akatsuki or not, you're the one I have to face? Not that I'm complaining!" Kakashi-Sensei said as he raised his head-band with his left palm, revealing his Mangekyou Sharingan.

"So I Deidara was not lying when he said you had acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan!" Itachi said. He closed his eyes, and then after a few seconds, his eyes shot open his Mangekyou Sharingan blazing.

"Alright, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, where's Sasuke? And why did he take off with Naruto and Sakura? Naruto I know you want the Nine-Tailed Fox but Sakura? Why did you take her?" Kakashi-Sensei questioned.

"For the question of Sasuke's whereabouts, I cannot disclose, as for your second question, well, we thought that if we had the complete trio, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, it would aid us in our mission, plus, we also thought that if we had their beloved Sensei, it would be an even bigger aid, we knew you would be the one sent to rescue them, and you fell right into our trap." Itachi explained, as Kakashi-Sensei's eyes widened.

He turned around and saw a giant wooden-log coming towards him. He jumped into the air, the log barely missing him. He jumped on top of the log, holding the ropes on the right side of the log, glaring down at Itachi.

"Impressive, but it is futile." Itachi commented.

"Enough! What makes you think Naruto and Sakura, and I are going to help you even if you capture us?"

"We have our ways, I cannot discuss this any further, prepare to fall!" Itachi said as he in an instant brought his right index and middle fingers together and grunted. Kakashi-Sensei's eyes widened as the log exploded. He jumped on to a nearby tree's top and jumped towards Itachi. He started making hand-signs.

"Water Style: - Mouth of the Dragon!" Kakashi-Sensei yelled as the water in the river rose up and caught Kakashi-Sensei. It then turned into the shape of a dragon and launched itself towards Itachi who also made hand signs.

"Fire Style: - Fire Ball Jutsu!" Itachi called as he shot a giant fire ball from his mouth at the water dragon which caused steam to erupt. When the steam cleared, Itachi was the only one standing. "Humph." He smirked, but suddenly his eyes widened.

Kakashi-Sensei shot out of the ground and pulled Itachi into it. "Earth Style: - Head-Hunter Jutsu!" he called. Kakashi-Sensei crouched and held a Kunai with his right hand to Itachi's throat.

"Now, tell me, why have you taken Naruto and Sakura?" Kakashi-Sensei demanded. Itachi closed his eyes and smirked.

"Humph, alright, fine, the reason we took them is the same as I told you before, but, as for how we're going to make them help us, is by erasing their memories of the Leaf Village, which, by the way, we've already done." Itachi said, as Kakashi-Sensei's eyes widened.

"Darn it, but what does Sasuke have to do with all of this?"

"Oh, Sasuke? He's joined us." Itachi said as the white-haired Jounin gasped, his eyes widening in horror.

"But, didn't he want to kill you?"

"I convinced him to join us, and he doesn't want to kill me by his own choice."

"Darn it…DARN IT!" Kakashi-Sensei growled. He stood up and threw his Kunai to his right side. He made hand-seals and held his right wrist with his left hand, as lightning started to gather. "LIGHTNING BLADE!" He yelled as he jumped back ten feet and started running towards Itachi.

At that moment, Team Guy appeared on the scene in the tree-branches. They jumped down into the field just in time to see Kakashi-Sensei smash his lightning blade onto Itachi's head which caused an explosion to occur. When it cleared, Itachi was there, dead. Kakashi-Sensei panted.

"Oh my god! Kakashi, you killed Itachi!" Guy said shocked.

"No…I didn't…" Kakashi-Sensei sighed.

"What do you mean?" Guy asked, but as soon as he did, Itachi turned into a flock of birds which flew away.

"Darn it, we arrived on the scene too late!" Guy sighed.

"Pakkun, you can go now." Kakashi-Sensei called to the Pakkun who was still in the trees, who nodded and disappeared in a puff of smo

"What exactly happened here Kakashi? And what about Naruto and Sakura?" Guy questioned. Kakashi-Sensei sighed and relayed whatever Itachi had told to Team Guy, which caused Ten-Ten to gasp.

"So they wanted to capture and brain-wash you as well?" Guy exclaimed as Kakashi-Sensei knocked.

"I've failed to save my comrades…DARN IT!" Kakashi-Sensei roared.

"Don't worry Kakashi, hope is not lost, have you forgotten? Just because Itachi ran doesn't mean the rest of the Akatsuki did!" Guy said and pointed at the cave boulder with his right index finger as Kakashi-Sensei's eyes widened as realization dawned upon him.

"You're right...As much as I hate to admit it..." Kakashi-Sensei said, standing up. He made hand-seals and grabbed his right wrist again as lightning formed. "LIGHTNING BLADE!" He called and smashed it into the bolder, which cracked and was destroyed. When the smoke cleared, a holographic Itachi appeared causing everyone's eyes to widen.

"If you've made it this far, well done, but, just to let you know, Naruto and Sakura have already left this place along with the rest of the Akatsuki, so your efforts have unfortunately been wasted, and don't try to follow us, other-wise it will spell trouble for you, but I have a feeling you will anyway." The holographic Itachi finished and disappeared into a small disc.

This only made Kakashi-Sensei's frustrations rise as he lowered his head-band onto his Sharingan eye with his left palm. "Neji!" Guy called as Neji nodded. He brought his right middle and index fingers together in front of his face and grunted.

"Byakugan!" he called. He scanned the entire cave for any person or trap that was potentially said. He looked around it for a few minutes before speaking up. "There's no one and no trap set." He said and de-activated his Byakugan.

Lee walked to the door of the cave and picked up the small disc. He pressed a button on top of it, and the holographic Itachi appeared again and replayed the message. Kakashi-Sensei walked into the cave followed by Team Guy. All of them looked around the cave, and looked inside every room, including a room where it looked like meetings were held, including a giant room with a control room on top of it.

Kakashi-Sensei found a small room with a blue pod with two small machines and inspected it. "Hmm…Annoying….Temper…" He read all the traits out loud. When they looked around the whole cave, they met back at the entrance.

"Find anything?" Guy asked as Kakashi-Sensei nodded.

"We need to send a report back to Lady Tsunade and wait for further instructions." Kakashi-Sensei said. Ten-Ten pulled out a scroll and threw it towards Kakashi-Sensei who caught it and laid it out on the ground. She pulled out a pen and an ink pot and put it next to the scroll. Kakashi-Sensei quickly scribbled down the report. He motioned for Lee to hand him the holographic message disc. Lee threw it at Kakashi-Sensei who caught it, put it into the scroll and rolled up the scroll and threw the ink pot and pen back at Ten-Ten who caught them and sealed them in a scroll.

Kakashi-Sensei performed hand-seals and a carrier pigeon appeared on the ground. It flew up to Kakashi-Sensei's right shoulder and he petted it with his left hand. He opened his left palm in front of it, close to its mouth with bird food in it. The carrier pigeon ate it happily. Kakashi-Sensei petted its head again with his left hand and picked up the scroll with his left hand and tied a rope to it and placed it back down on the ground. He performed several hand-seals as a puff of smoke covered it. When it cleared, it looked the same but clearly Kakashi-Sensei had done something to it. He picked it up again with his left hand and put it into the carrier pigeon's mouth. He performed several hand-seals and brought his left middle and index fingers in front his face and grunted. A puff of smoke covered the carrier pigeon as it flew out of the smoke and into the air.

"Now what do we do?" Lee asked.

"Now…" Kakashi-Sensei paused, raising the other's tensions. "We wait…" Kakashi-Sensei said as Neji, Lee and Ten-Ten fell over.

"Building up our tensions for no reason…" Ten-Ten grumbled.

…

Tsunade sighed as she looked out the window of the Hokage Tower, her paper work finally finished for the day.

Knock, Knock.

"Come In!" She sighed. She prayed that it wasn't more paper-work.

"Lady Tsunade! Kakashi and Team Guy have sent a report!" Shizune exclaimed running in with a scroll in her right hand.

"Let me see!" Tsunade said as Shizune handed it to Tsunade who took it with her right hand. She opened the scroll and held it up with her right hand and began reading it. Her eyes widened.

"Darn it, Darn those Akatsuki!" Tsunade growled.

"What happened, Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked, worried. Tsunade relayed all the information which Itachi had relayed to Kakashi-Sensei.

"Oh no…this is bad!" Shizune said, worried.

"And there's more….They've apparently used a special machine to ready them for something, but it's unknown what, and now their waiting for further orders…" Tsunade sighed.

"So...What are you going to do, Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked, worried.

"I'm not sure…" Tsunade sighed. She picked up the holographic message disc and pressed the button on it and put it down on the table. A holographic Itachi appeared and started relaying the same message again.

Tsunade sighed and put her elbows on the table and joined her hands and stared at them in thought. "Hmm…If I tell Kakashi and Team Guy to return, we might not be able to find Naruto and Sakura…" she thought out-loud.

"Just what are you suggesting Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked, already having an idea of what Tsunade was thinking.

"Ordering Kakashi and Team Guy to pursue the Akatsuki."

"What?" Shizune exclaimed. "Forgive me, Lady Tsunade, but didn't you see what Itachi said in the holographic message? He said not to follow them or it'll mean trouble!"

"Don't you think I know that already?" Tsunade snapped causing Shizune to flinch. "Don't you think I already know the dangers of ordering them to follow the AKATSUKI? I haven't forgotten what happened to Asuma if you don't know!" Shizune realized her mistake. "But I have no choice! It's either order them to come back and lose Naruto and Sakura or send them after those two and save them! I will NOT let the Akatsuki have their hands on Naruto and Sakura, DO YOU HEAR ME? I WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN! I'll go after them myself if I have to!"

'Lady Tsunade…' Shizune thought sadly. "I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade, I ..." Shizune started, unable to find the correct words.

"No...I'm sorry, Shizune, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that, you were only worried...I…I'm sorry Shizune…" Tsunade apologized, putting her head into her hands. Shizune's eyes softened.

"It's okay, Lady Tsunade, it was my fault, I was just so worried, I care about Naruto and Sakura as well, it's just that…I just don't want what happened to Asuma to happen to anyone else.." Shizune said, sighing.

"It's alright, Shizune, both of us are worried, so let's just forget that this happened, Okay?" Tsunade asked as Shizune nodded.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade, but, what are you going to do now?" Shizune asked.

"Shizune!" Tsunade alerted her.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked, alert.

"Send orders to Kakashi and Team Guy to pursue the Akatsuki, call Team Kurenai to my office at once!" Tsunade ordered as Shizune nodded and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Tsunade sighed and looked out of the window.

"Do you have to creep up on me like this all the time?" Tsunade asked, sighing.

"Hey, what works works! Besides, you were having a moment there." Jiraiya said, standing on the window sill, opening the window and walking in. Tsunade sighed; Jiraiya noticed this and decided to cut straight to the point.

"You called for me?" Jiraiya asked.

"Yes, Naruto and Sakura have been captured by the Akatsuki…" Tsunade explained causing Jiraiya's eyes widened in horror.

"WHAT? HOW?" Jiraiya demanded. Tsunade explained everything that was in the scroll and then picked the disc containing the holographic message up, and pushed the button on top of it and placed it on the table. Itachi appeared and gave the same message.

"I see…but how were they captured?"

"Well, Sasuke had seemingly returned, but soon after he knocked them out, snuck up on the gate-keepers and knocked them out. Before they were completely knocked out, they were able to see Sasuke running off with Naruto and Sakura in his arms.

"I see….So…Sasuke has joined the Akatsuki after all…" Jiraiya said thinking out loud as Tsunade's eyes widened.

"What? You knew of this already?" Tsunade exclaimed.

"No, there were just rumors, and I was in the middle of investigating this when I heard you were calling for me" Jiraiya explained as Tsunade nodded.

"I see…" Tsunade said.

"So what orders did you give Kakashi and Team Guy?" Jiraiya asked.

"To pursue the Akatsuki, and I've sent for Team Kurenai, I have a mission for them, to investigate the Akatsuki Base further, Kakashi and the others found a special machine which looked to something which was used on Naruto and Sakura for some reason…"

"I see, and what tells you that the Akatsuki used them on Naruto and Sakura?"

"They found two strands of blonde and pink hair in the blue pod inside the smaller room and another five in a giant room with a control room above it." Tsunade explained as Jiraiya nodded.

"So what do you want me to do?" Jiraiya asked. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come In!" Tsunade called.

"Team Kurenai reporting, for what did you summon us Ma Lady?" Kurenai asked as she entered the room and stood in-front of Tsunade with her team behind her. Tsunade explained what was going on to Tsunade and what was found in the cave, which shocked Kurenai and her team.

"N-Naruto and S-Sakura have been captured?" Hinata asked in dis-belief.

"Yes, and I want you to head to the Akatsuki cave and investigate further and report back if you find anything else, you will be accompanied by Jiraiya." Tsunade said as Jiraiya waved at them with his right hand.

"Alright then, you three!" Tsunade called out to Shino, Kiba and Hinata. Hinata flinched. "Get ready in ten minutes and meet your sensei at the gate, now GO!" Tsunade yelled as the three nodded, but Hinata flinched first, and all of them disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Now, Kurenai, the reason I told them to leave before you could was because I wanted to discuss something with you." Tsunade explained as Kurenai nodded.

"What is it?" Kurenai asked.

…..

Lee, Ten-Ten and Neji were sitting in a circle, playing a game of rock-paper-scissors. Kakashi-Sensei and Guy were both sitting about an elephant's distance away from them to their right. "So you had no idea they had been captured when they were?" Guy asked as Kakashi-Sensei shook his head.

"No, I had no idea, I was waiting for them at the Training Grounds, and when they didn't show up, and I didn't find them anywhere in the village, I had a feeling that something was wrong…" Kakashi-Sensei said. Just then Kakashi-Sensei spotted a messenger pigeon coming.

"We've heard back from Lady Tsunade!" Kakashi-Sensei announced as he stood up. The messenger pigeon landed on his left shoulder. He took the scroll from the pigeon's mouth with his right hand and opened it and read it. After he was done, he put the scroll in his pocket. "You did well!" Kakashi-Sensei said to the pigeon and gave it some more food after petting it, both with his right hand. He then did some hand-seals and the pigeon disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Alright, we've been given orders by Lady Tsunade to pursue the Akatsuki, so let's head out!" Kakashi-Sensei announced.

"W-What? Pursue the Akatsuki?" Ten-Ten gasped. Kakashi-Sensei nodded.

"Now let's go!" Kakashi-Sensei said. He made hand-seals and in a puff of smoke Pakkun appeared.

"Yes, Sir? What was so important that you had to call me twice sir? Please tell me sir!" Pakkun mocked as Kakashi-Sensei sweat-dropped.

"Sorry Pakkun, but we've been given orders to pursue the Akatsuki, here!" Kakashi-Sensei explained as he took strands of both Naruto and Sakura's hair out from his right pocket with his right hand and held them near Pakkun's nose. Pakkun smelled them and smelled the open field.

"Alright, this way!" Pakkun said as he jumped up on to a tree. Kakashi-Sensei was about to jump after him when Guy stopped him.

"Not so fast, Kakashi!" Guy said.

"Huh?" Kakashi-Sensei asked, confused.

"Now that you're travelling with us, you're an official temporary member of Team Guy! And you know what that means!" Guy said as all the other members except Lee dead-panned.

"Oh no…." Ten-Ten mumbled.

"Not…Not THAT again…." Neji grumbled.

"What is it, Guy Sensei?" Lee asked.

"You know, sometimes I think Lee does that on purpose…" Ten-Ten grumbled.

"You Don't Say?" Neji asked, making a face that showed that this was obvious.

Guy put his right hand forward. He looked at Lee who apparently still didn't get it. "Hmmmmmmm…..Hmmmmmmmmm!" He made these sounds continuously until Lee understood.

"Oh!" Lee realized and ran towards Guy and put his right hand on top of Guy's right hand.

"Hm, Hm, Hm!" Guy hummed as if laughing in victory. Next he looked at Ten-Ten and started humming. Ten-Ten sighed, walked over and put her right hand over Lee and Guy's right hands.

"Hm, Hm, Hm!" Guy laughed in victory again and turned his attention to Neji.

"Hmmmmm…Hmmmmm….Hmmmmmmmmmmm!" Guy hummed but Neji wouldn't budge. Meanwhile, Kakashi-Sensei and Pakkun were sweat-dropping. When Guy saw that Neji wouldn't budge, he furrowed his eye-brows, but still had his smile.

"HHMMMMMMM! HMMMMMMMM! !" Guy hummed loudly, as Neji sighed in annoyance, walked over, and put his right hand on top of the hands of his team-mates.

"HM, HM, HM!" Guy laughed in victory. He then turned to Kakashi-Sensei who dead-panned.

"No, not me!" Kakashi-Sensei said. Guy smirked and hummed.

"HMMMMM! HMMMMM! HHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! HHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" Guy almost yelled.

Kakashi-Sensei sighed, and decided to just get it over with. He put his right hand on top of the hands of everyone else.

"HM, HM, HM, HM, HMMM, HMM, HMMM, HM, HM!" Guy laughed as if he'd won a gold prize. When everyone thought that it was over, Guy turned his head towards Pakkun on the tree. Pakkun sweat-dropped and shook his head.

"Hmmm…Hmmm…!" Guy hummed.

"HMMMMMM!" Pakkun hummed back.

"HMMM"

This continued for two minutes until Guy had had enough. "WILL YOU GET DOWN HERE ALREAAADYYY!" Guy yelled, making Pakkun flinch, who immediately jumped down and ran at them. He put his right paw on the hands of everyone else.

"TEAM GUY TEAM GUY!" Guy started as they all raised their hands up and down, Lee, Ten-Ten and Neji started chanting this as well soon enough, but, unsurprisingly, Lee was the first one, and, also unsurprisingly, Neji was the last to start. Kakashi-Sensei and Pakkun sweat-dropped as looked at each-other and then back at Team Guy. Both of them sighed and started chanting this as well.

"TEAM GUY TEAM GUUYYY! WITH KAKASHI AND PAKKUUUNNN!" Was the new chant. This continued for another five minutes until they finished.

"LET'S GOO!" All of them shouted and shot into the trees with Pakkun leading them.
