Chapter 2. The Alliance
"An interesting proposal, but what do I have to gain besides crushing the Leaf Village?" asked an anonymous voice.
"Good of you to ask." said Konan. "Once we acquire the nine tails we could use the tailed beasts' power to help you develop as many jutsu as you wish."
"So that's all I have to do?" asked the voice?
"That is all." said Pain "I suppose it's safe to assume we have a deal then?"
"Why not? It's time to get revenge for that feeble old man sealing my jutsu! Together we shall destroy the Leaf Village! Wahahahahahahaha! Said Orochimaru appearing from the shadows.
"Sasuke, I'm afraid you'll have to sit this one out. Your grudge with Itachi may hinder our progress.
Sasuke:………….
"So, when do we put this plan into motion?" asked Orochimaru.
"Gather your village shinobi at the Hidden Leaf entrance and on our signal, make your move." said Pain "Do you think that you can work in your condition?"
"Don't worry, I'll have Kabuto by my side." said Orochimaru.
