Reaching the Northern Hideout was a bit rougher then that of the Southern since it was located mostly on mountain ranges due to it being the place where most of the more dangerous creatures where being hold for experimentation and also due in part to Suigetsu Hozuki stopping every so often to take a rest and have Charlotte Faith refill his water bottles for him.

"Hey, Can't we take a rest just for a minute."

"Suigetsu, You keep coming up with a different excuse every few minutes to stop...Damn just how lazy are you? We are almost there, So just suck it up and Shut Up!"

As those two were arguing a man came walking out towards all of them barely able to stand and he ended up collapsing silencing both Suigetsu and Karin. They made their way over to the poor guy, Karin checked his pulse as he tried to talk to them.

"Y-You're Sasuke Uchiha...T-Then the rumors are true...O-Orochimaru is dead...O-Once we heard that a riot broke out and allot were killed...Y-You have to help us..." That was all he was able to say before he gagged on his last breath dying right there in Karin's arms.

"Well will you look at that, He just died." Suigetsu stated the obvious but none of them had any time to say anything about it because a mutated creature of some sort jumped down off a nearby cliff growling at Sasuke. Letting Charlotte Faith see the 2ed level up close and personal as Sasuke drew his blade slicing the man-beast across his chest turning him back into his human form.

"The Northern Hideout is just up head...Let's hurry and get Juugo...Faith due to what happened last time you stay out here."

When they got to the entrance, it was full of escaped crazy transformed inmates just wanting to rip all their heads off. Sasuke had Karin use her sensor ability to search for Juugo and when she told them he was not among those out there. Sasuke and Suigetsu want to work clearing them out but not killing them.

Once they were all down and out Suigetsu leaned on his big blade before complaining to Sasuke: "Man, You really are from the Hidden Leaf...You should loosen up and killed them and you should of killed that first one also...You are way to soft."

Sasuke ignored his complaints instead he went inside taking out the ones in their way before Suigetsu and Karin joined him leaving Charlotte Faith outside by herself much to Sasuke disliking even though it was his order to begin with, he still didn't like leaving her out there with all those Cursed Sealed Beasts running wild which made him want to work even faster in order to locate Juugo. He demanded that Karin tell them which way Juugo was, she apparently didn't like having Suigetsu with her and Sasuke so she purposely lied to them sending Suigetsu down the wrong corridor as she dragged Sasuke down the right path so that she could have some alone time with him.

Once Suigetsu came back to the entrance and seen Faith he knew he was lost, So he just decided to go on out there with her since he didn't really want to go searching for Juugo to begin with.

"Man, I can't stand that damn woman, She flat out lied to me so that she could spend time with only Sasuke...It's creepy the way she tries to attach herself to him and the dumb Bitch is too stupid to realize he is not the least bit interested in her in a romantic way."

"Nope, Doesn't seem like he is." was all Charlotte said on the matter which made Suigetsu laugh."Well, You don't say much but you do get your point across in those few words, Don't you...I think I'm starting to like you Faith, I know I like you more than I like Karin and maybe even more than I like Sasuke at this point...At least you are not trying to order me around all the time like him."

He stopped talking as they heard commotion coming from inside the hideout. They could clearly hear Karin screaming out Sasuke's name followed by what sounded like walls crashing down. Suigetsu moved closer to Faith pulling his Executioner's Blade off his back where he kept it strapped and readied himself to protect her from Juugo since the sounds were moving closer towards where they were.

He was entirely right, first they seen Sasuke running out of the hideout followed by a crazed looking Juugo who was half transformed into a beast trying to kill him. Suigetsu blocked Juugo's arm from crushing Sasuke with his sword just as Karin made it out of the falling down hideout behind them.

"No Suigetsu, We are not here to fight Juugo...We're here to talk to him and that's all."

"It seems to me Juugo is not seeing it that way Sasuke...It looks to me like all he wants to do is kill us."

Juugo shaped his arm into a blade knocking Suigetsu backward almost as if he was trying to prove his point that he was in fact wanting to kill them. He took that blade arm and was about to chop off Karin's head when Charlotte stepped in front of her holding up her gloved hand and simply said:"That's enough, Juugo." surprisingly he stopped mere inches from her own neck that she could feel his blade touching her skin. He just stood there watching her as his monstrous side receded back and he fell to his knees much like what she done earlier but without the tears.

"I'm so sorry, Please forgive me...I don't want to kill, I just can't control it, Only Kimimaro was able to control it... So, Lock me back in my cell, I beg of you before it's too late."

Sasuke took this as his chance to talk to Juugo before his urge to kill came back: " Kimimaro died for me Juugo and I don't believe he was the only one who could control your rages... Faith just proved she can and I know that I will be able to with my Sharingan... Join me Juugo, I will be your cage, if you need one so badly."

"Wait, Kimimaro died for you...Then that must make you Sasuke Uchiha...If he had that much faith in your abilities that he was willing to give his life for yours then I will trust in you as well and go with you as your protector Sasuke...It's the least I can do for Kimimaro."

"Who the hell is Kimimaro?" asked Suigetsu while sheathing his blade now that Juugo's monster side was gone.

It was Sasuke who answered his question:"Kimimaro was Juugo's best friend while he was locked away in the hideout and as he said the only person who was able to control him...Kimimaro had an amazing ability as well, He was able to use the bones in his body as weapons, Unfortunately he was also very sick and died before he got to fulfill his goal which was to become the host body for Orochimaru instead of me Suigetsu...He ended up risking what was lift of his life force in order to bring me to be his replacement."

"Yes, He meant allot to me and one day he came to me telling me all about you Sasuke Uchiha and how he believed you to be his reincarnation and that's enough for me...I will join your team if it means keeping you safe because then it will be like I am keeping a part of Kimimaro alive as well."

"Good, With Juugo that makes the team whole...Now I will explain to all of you why I have been gathering you...I have a goal I want to achieve and all of you are going to get me to this goal...You see there is a certain man that I have wanted to kill since I was young...Team Hawk's ultimate goal will be the assassination of my so called brother Itachi Uchiha of the Akatsuki."
