Finally, all of them have settled down. Like good little boys and girls, they sat quietly on their beds.
Oh, and Kisame's back to normal too.
"Sigh. It's a good thing you're all behaving right now. It took forever for me to wait for you guys to settle down!"
Pein just stared at Tsunade, still feeling intimidated by her strong chakra.
"May we now know why we're here? We all demand a good explanation from you."
She looked carefully at Pein.
"Heh. That oversized blanket goes so well with his tiny body. Tch. Too bad he has an intimidating aura that even I am worried of."
Tsunade stood up, and looked very serious at the Chibi Akatsuki. They looked all very fragile now. But despite the fact that they're all kids at the moment, she was still somewhat scared of what was going to happen if her plans would go wrong.
"Okay. Listen carefully. I won't give you a thorough explanation unless you guys would tell me how you ended up in Konoha's forests!"
Right after she spoke, Deidara raised her hand… his hand. He looked even more like a girl now that she's… he's regressed.
"Yes, Deidara?"
"The last thing I remembered doing is using my final trick on that #$$% Sasuke, yeah!"
Itachi gave a cold stare.
"But I don't know the outcome, un. Did I kill him?" he asked eagerly.
"No."
"WHAT?"
"No, you did not kill him."
Deidara now looked furious. He wanted to punch somebody.
"I even sacrificed my own life, hmm! Yet he didn't DIE? What a waste of effort, yeah!"
He seemed too stunned to collect his thoughts. I mean, he sacrificed his own life for nothing.
The Hokage was starting to get tense. One of them was already angry. Well, she might as well continue, right?
"Deidara, now is not the time to be thinking of wasted efforts. One of my medic nins told me that you were found in our forest, already as kids. Is this some kind of strange jutsu one of you has done before death? I don't even know why all of you are alive!"
"So who the ^%$ cares anyway. What's important is that I get my %#&$^$ hands on that $&#^ SHADOW USER!"
Tsunade then gave Hidan a cold stare, which brought cold chills down to his backbone.
"This is not going well at all" thought Pein. He then stood up, and asked permission to speak.
"Yes you may." said Tsunade.
"Why don't we just set the past aside, and figure what's going to happen to us?"
"Yeah, I agree with that!" said a rather cheerful Kisame. He was fiddling with his blankets like a very troubled puppy.
The Hokage then told everyone her plans.
"Alright. Listen up because I'm only going to say it once. You are now official citizens of Konoha."
"What?"
"F***"
"No way, yeah!"
"This couldn't be happening!"
"S***!"
"Okay, I know it may sound unbelievably ridiculous, but it's true. Since I know you guys have an immense amount of chakra, and I know that you're going to use it for bad purposes, I took it all away with all of your capabilities, kekkei genkai, and forbidden jutsus."
"She's right!" screamed Deidara. He continuously stared at his mouthless hands. "Lefty! Righty! Even chesty's gone!"
Kakuzu too, was in the same state of shock. He no longer had his forbidden jutsu.
Since kekkei genkais were taken away, both Itachi and Pein couldn't activate their eye techniques.
"This is horrible!" cried Konan. Her skills with paper have been taken, like the rest of them.
"This had to be done," said Tsunade. "I know that you could only create chaos to this village, so I took every single skill from you. This means, you are all back to zero. Back to being genins."
All of them were too shocked to move. Tsunade realized that she had to hurry up. There was still a lot of things to do.
"Listen. This is what I want to happen. You will all be retrained under some teams I will call later. And you, would have to play along. OR ELSE!"
"Play along?" asked Sasori.
"Yes. I want you to be as unrecognizable as you can be. Maybe some of you can change their personality, some can cross-dress *cough Deidara cough* or some can change the color of their eyes or hair. I don't want a single villager to recognize you. All I want you to do is to follow the rules of the village, and restart your life here."
"Then what the f*** happens if we don't follow your stupid rules, b****?"
"Then you could say goodbye to both Jashin and your immortality."
That left Hidan speechless for a full minute.
"Yes. If you don't follow, then goodbye to all you power. So, do we have a deal?"
"How long should we play this game?" asked Pein.
"For a few months."
"Deal."
They shook each other's hands like two business men. Tsunade seemed to be so pleased with her plans, and the poor Akatsuki were now under her shadow.
"I'm going to leave you guys for a sec. I have to get some new clothes for you."
With that, she walked towards the doorway.
With every single step she made, each member was thinking of a flawless plan to escape.
She turned the knob, and made her first step outside. She stopped, and faced them again.
"Oh, just so you know, my chakra surrounds the room. Try to escape, your dead. Remember, we already made a deal."
And with that, she left them.
After she took care of their clothes, Tsunade went back to her room.
Was she really Tsunade?
There was another woman seated on the chair, and she had white hair, and looked very weak.
"About time you came in, Shizune."
The so-called 'Tsunade' smiled, and with a poof of smoke, revealed her real self.
"Lady Tsunade," said Shizune. "Is it really a good idea to let them become a part of us?"
"Don't worry. I have a lot of plans in mind. In the mean time, you have to act as me for a few months. I nearly died doing that forbidden jutsu!"
