-Sakura's front door-
"What do you mean Naruto is gone!?" Sakura shouted at Kakashi. Once again he looked down in dismay, "Yes, he was kidnapped by Akatsuki last night". "What the hell are those ANBU and shinobi guards doing?! Sleeping on the job!?" "The Hokage is about to host a meeting for all Chunin and Jonin for the matter of Naruto-" but Sakura did not even let Kakashi finish, "Good! Let's go!"
-Off the boarders of the Fire country-
Itachi and Kisame run through tree-top to tree-top while carrying the Jinchurki Naruto. "Let's hurry so we can extract this kid's demon so we can go after my Jinchurki Itachi". Itachi looked like he was going to pass out. "Are you alright Itachi?" "We need to stop and rest; I used my Mangekyo too much".
-Hokage office-
"Well that's all the information I have on Akatsuki," Jiraiya said, "we have about three days before they extract the demon from Naruto thus killing him". "Alright listen up everyone!" Tsunade said, "This is a rescue mission. Find and save Uzumaki Naruto! The kidnappers are all S-Class Bingo book criminals, so be very careful but try your very best to avoid combat at all costs! Teams ten, seven, and eight and team Guy, search the country up to its boards. All other Chunin and Jonin stay on alert; we can't leave the village defenseless. Go!" "I'll go get some more information on Akatsuki" Jiraiya said as he jumped out the window.
"Wait, Hokage-sama," Shikamaru said, "Since our opponent is Akatuski, may I go get some help?" "From whom"? Shikamaru smiled.
-Akatuski HQ-
"Those two are late, yeah" a blond guy said. "I'm sure they have a good reason, right Leader-sir?" But before the Leader could answer their gates opened. "Sorry we're late," Kisame said, "Itachi over did it again". "Did you get it?" "Yeah, here" he said as he tossed Naruto to the floor. "Excellent, let us begin the extraction jutsu".
-Hokage office-
"Good idea Shikamaru" Tsunade said. "May I take Ino and Choji with me?" "Yes and also, Kakashi, accompany them" Tsunade ordered. Kakashi agreed and so the Teams and everyone went to work.
Team seven took care of the north, team eight the west, and team guy split into two groups sense Neji is a Jonin which covered the east and south areas. Shikamaru and his team went off to a far off country.
-Akatuski HQ, first day of extraction-
The Akastuki members gather around the giant statue which they seal the Tailed-Beasts in. "So what took you guys so long, hmm?!" "We had a bit of interference". "Hey, hey Leader-sir, am I helping? I am a good boy, is the jutsu going any better?" "No, no, no for the last time! In fact we are going slower. We lost four members". "It is a real shame Leader". "No, no it's not! We are Akastuki, the best there ever was and ever will be. If we want to archive our goal of world domination we need to be undefeatable!" "I guess those four just aren't Akastuki material, yeah". "Sasori, Kakuzu, Hidan, and Orochimaru…….Like I said Leader-san: it is a real shame". "Hmph, yeah I guess your right Zetsu-san". "Can we stop blabbing already and finish this up?! The faster this is over the faster I can go get my Jinchurki!" Kisame says.
-Second day of extraction-
"Anything?" Sakura asked the others. They all gave the same reply, just like her, "Me neither, nothing here also". "Oh Naruto…..Where are you……."
"Are we getting any closer Shikamaru?" Ino asked. "If we don't stop now, we can make it by nightfall". "But that will leave us with only one day to search for Naruto" Choji said. "Don't worry, these guys are experts in the ground, they do ten times more then what we could do all together".
As Tsunade stands in front of the graves of the Hokages she thinks to herself, "Am I as great as anyone you?" She goes over to the 4th's grave and whispers, "Please Yondaime, help us. Your legacy is in grave danger".
