I know it's been a while since I've updated my story. I've just felt like no one was reading it but I vow to finish what I started. Anyway it would be nice for whoever is reading this to leave a review for constructive criticism so here. We. Go!
Sasori sat in his chair trying to recover from the idiotic words that just came from his leader's mouth. Sasori turned to the ripple eyed man across the desk and asked, "You want me…. To apologize?"
"Yes that is exactly what I want you to do." Pein answered.
"What for?" the redhead responded.
Pein looked at the artist sternly "If I do remember correctly. You assaulted Tobi on the day of your return."
A grin crept upon Sasori's face "I guess you can say I was a bit jealous seeing that you have replaced me with a complete and utter idiot."
Pein glared at the puppet master while Konan looked in slight distaste of Sasori's tone.
The others were reminded of the masked Akatsuki's presence as he replied back to the redhead. "HEY Tobi is not an idiot!"
Sasori's smirk faded as he looked directly at the childish man next to him. "I don't see why I should apologize to this fool just because I took back what was mine. If anything you should tell Hidan and Kakuzu to apologize to each other, seeing as they are the ones who are always fighting."
"They are an extremely effective team no matter how much they argue. I want you to apologize so you and Tobi can get off on the right foot and become an effective team as well. But of course if you don't like that. Then you can always die." Pein stated darkly.
Sasori swallowed his pride and faced Tobi. "I am sorry for what I did I hope…. That you can forgive me and that we can move on so we can co operate." Sasori stood from his chair and walked out of the office. He walked up to his room and closed the door. "What the hell was up with leader-samma? He never did anything that petty or idiotic. I wonder if…" The red head's thoughts were interrupted by someone entering his room. He turned to see who it was only to see the masked man.
"Hi Sasori-sempai. Tobi wanted to know if you were going to be his new friend.
The annoyed artist looked at the weirdo and responded "Tobi we are not friends. I don't like you and I damn sure don't trust you."
"B-but Tobi is very trust worthy sempai." Tobi stuttered.
"If you are so trust worthy then why are you wearing a mask?" Sasori hissed.
"B-be-be-because Tobi doesn't like his f-face." Tobi replied.
"Well Tobi I don't trust people with masks because they have the tendency to lie. And it usually means they have something to hide. Hell I bet Tobi isn't even your real name." Sasori started to chuckle but stopped when he saw to flinch as his last words sank in.
"THat Is my real name." and with that Tobi exited the room.
The puppeteer stood with a puzzled look upon his face. "What the hell was that all about?" Did his voice just crack?" "There is something up with that guy and I'm going to find out what it is. But first I should go see Kakuzu.
Kakuzu was in his room stashing away a lot of money "That should be enough to cover whatever we need for a few months. I should collect that bounty soon." Kakuzu's solitude was disturbed by knocking on his door. The tall man approached the door and opened it to see a short redhead. "Hey Sasori, what is it that you want?" Sasori entered the room and took a seat on the bead while Kakuzu leaned on the door.
"I wanted to talk about that Izurou guy me and Hidan killed earlier."
"Yea what about him?" Kakuzu asked.
"I want his heart." Sasori stated bluntly
Kakuzu looked at his comrade in curiosity "What do you want with his heart?"
"Originally I wanted his body so I can make him a part of my new collection but you need the body for the money. So I started thinking about how your hearts work and I wanted to see if I could do that with puppets."
The immortal Akatsuki looked intrigued by his colleague's idea. "Alright. I don't need the heart anyway. I'll get you the heart right now." With that Kakuzu went into a drawer and pulled out a container. He then walked to the the wall and pulled s hidden drawer, revealing Izurou's corpse.
"I didn know you kept bodies in here." Sasori said
Kakuzu rolled up his sleeve and hardened his hand. He then plunged it deep into the dead man's chest. "I keep them in that drawer so they won't start stinking. By the way this will take a while I want to get the heart out as saaafely as possible for you."
"Thanks I appreciate it." Sasori said gratefully.
"No problem." Kakuzu responded.
"So any big missions coming up?" The artist asked
"Yea. We have to go kidnap the Fire daimyo's daughter next weekend."
Sasori looked at his friend in confusion
"You were dead when we were informed about this." Kakuzu stated answering Sasori's unspoken question.
"Why are we kidnapping the fire daimyo's daughter?" The redhead questioned
"Actually we aren't going to kidnap her, more like break into a secret compound and hold her for ransom." Kakuzu answered
"That doesn't really sound like something we would do. Doing this will give us a lot of attention."
Kakuzu continued working on retrieving the heart and replied "Well we do need the money but that isn't the only reason. Leader-samma wants us to draw the fire daimyo and wind daimyo to the compound and assassinate them when they arrive. After that we execute the daughter and leave with the money.
Sasori's face scrunched in confusion "All of this killing over money? You and Hidan make enough capturing bounties.
"It's not just the money. If we do this both Konoha and Suna will not be able to make as much money as they used to. There Kages will have to spread their ninjas thin for low paying missions. When most of the ninja are out and about we will swoop in on Konoha and capture the kyuubi jinchuriki and get away before their reinforcements can arrive." Kakuzu explained.
"Hmph that sounds smart." Sasori stated. So what's the security of this compound look like?
"The daughter will be heavily guarded by a shitload Konoha chunin and Jonin and a handful of anbu are the daughter's personal escorts. Of course when the fire daimyo and wind daimyo get there an attempt on that place will be futile with our numbers." Kakuzu informed
"So who's going?"The puppeteer asked
"Everyone except for leader-samma and Konan" Kakuzu replied.
"So how are we getting in the place?" Sasori questioned.
"Frontal assault." Kakuzu stated bluntly.
"You're kidding right?"
"Nope."
"Why are we going in without a plan."
"Don't worry we aren't going to charge in like idiots. There are two guard towers Deidara and is going to have Tobi plant some explosive clay on the towers' bases. On my nark Deidara will blow them and cause the towers to fall to the courtyard crushing our enemies. Me you Kisame Itachi and Hidan will fight in the front courtyard while Deidara and Tobi take out any stragglers. Once we take out most of their forces they will most likely retreat. So then we split up and storm the compound separately. Wipe out anyone in our way and find the Girl. Once the compound is secured we will contact both Daimyos and demand that they deliver the ransom alone. We kill them take the money and have Deidara bomb the compound then he will fly us out. Annnnd done." As Kakuzu finished his explination he withdrew the heart and put it in the container and handed it to Sasori.
Sasori grabed the Container and looked at Kakuzu. "That sounds like an okay plan I guess I should start getting some puppets together for our little weekend event. Thanks again Kakuzu."
Kakuzu wrapped up the body once more and then cleaned his hand. "No problem."
Sasori exited the room and walked back to his. He lifted the jarred heart in the air and smiled. "This idea maybe the birth of the ultimate puppets." He walked into his room and closed the door with a loud bang.
