"Welcome to the home of the Akatsuki," A new voice said.*

Frederick tried to turn and look at the voice but he was shackled up and tied to something.

He signed…He did not want to be burned at the stake today… Then he would have felt that he failed Sophie and her last wish to him.

"Thank You." Was the only response Frederick gave; he had to be cautious or he would be dead in a second's notice.

He could feel daggers being glared into his face, heart and soul.

"Disrespectful little bitch ain't he? Give him to me Leader-sama! He'll make an excellent sacrifice to Lord Jashin!"

Frederick didn't want to show any emotion, but he knew that Hidan could really mess him up and he didn't want any part of that.

"I could use another puppet for my collection honestly…Art is such a beauty when the young last forever."

"You're an idiot Sasori-dana! un; Let me have him Leader-sama! I'll show Sasori-dana what true art is un!

"We should try and get ransom for him; make up for the fact that he had no money on him."

Leader-sama simply signed loudly and everyone grew quiet.

"What is our name boy? Who are you acquainted to?"

Frederick looked directly at Pein. He knew that if he lied he would die, simple as that. Hopefully someone showed him mercy.

"My name is Frederick. I'm fifteen years old, I am apart of no village, group, or organization. I was heading to Konoha to attempt to fit in somewhere when I ran into the Sannin Jiraiya and his student Naruto Uzumaki. I traveled with them until we were ambushed. I was gagged up and now here I am; tied up speaking to the numerous members of the Akatsuki."

Everything was silent for a second before Kisame spoke up.

"Spoken like a true leaf spy. I say we kill him now."

Frederick looked at where Kisame's voice had come from and knew he was screwed.

"He is no leaf spy Kisame; I knew everyone that Danzo had been bringing up and this boy was definitely not one of them."

It was Pein who spoke next.

"You still haven't told us where you came from."

Frederick knew this question was coming and was thinking… he wasn't sure how to give a good answer but he would give it his best shot.

"I don't remember my past. I woke up in a stream a day ago or so."

"Then how did you know to go towards Konoha?"

"I ran along the stream until I found a cottage. The people in the cottage spoke of Orochimaru. I remembered his name and quickly sought out for where the people said Konoha was located. I remember names, abilities and other things but any information specially regarding myself I've forgotten."

The Akatsuki were quiet for a moment as if processing the information. Finally Pein spoke.

"Itachi, you know what to do."

Frederick froze; Itachi was going to penetrate his mind. He only hoped that Itachi was as good as he had been in the manga or this entire situation would be his downfall.

Suddenly Frederick found himself staring into deep, powerful red eyes. He felt sleepy, and he couldn't control himself as he dazed off.*

Jiraiya and Naruto stormed to the front gates of Konoha. Jiraiya was carrying the bodies of the two retrieved rogue chunin. Immediately people were watching the two of them, citizens pointed and whispered to themselves, as Jiraiya spoke to the Chunin assigned to gate duty.

"Jiraiya-same! This is quite the surprise! I'll check you in myself; please go right on in."

Jiraiya simply nodded at the man in approval as he placed the bodies next to the Chunin.

"Get some Anbu to take these bodies. The live one I need interrogated my Inochi, the dead one an autopsy."

"Yes sir!

Then, Jiraiya and Naruto bolted off to the main hokage building.*

When Jiraiya and Naruto reached the Hokage building, a familiar face was loitering around out in front.

"Kakashi Sensei!"

"Oh? Hello Naruto. It's a great honor to see your Jiraiya-sama."

"No time to talk Kakashi; we need to talk to Tsunade."

Kakashi simply nodded and opened the door; as Jiraiya entered he turned around and called out to Naruto.

"Hey Naruto, do me a favor and hang out here; catch up with Kakashi and we'll go get ramen later, my treat."

"But Pervy Sage! I wanted to talk to Granny Tsunade too!"

"It's alright Naruto, is it so bad to talk to me?"

Kakashi looked at Naruto with the ever familiar glint in his eye.

"Well…No...But…ugh! Hurry up Pervy Sage!"

Jiraiya simply smiled at Naruto and waved; he would be right back.*

Kakashi quickly changed his mind about how he felt regarding Naruto and talking. Whether it be about a new technique or how much stronger he had gotten Kakashi couldn't stop hearing about it. Whenever he would try to read his book, Naruto would complain with a, "HEY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?" and Kakashi was forced to listen to more rambling about insignificant topics.

Sometimes he wondered how he ever ended up with the world's number one knucklehead ninja on his trio. Still, every time he thought of Naruto he couldn't help but see the resemblance between him and Minato or even Obito for that manner.

Kakashi signed and smiled from under his mask; this was truly an interesting world.*

Tsunade had been finally so close to the quickest day she ever encountered. She was finally going to have a night off where she could think some sake and maybe have a girl's night out for the first time in months. That was until a certain colleague of hers popped right into her door.

As soon as Jiraiya slammed open her door she knew all her plans and her wonderful evening were gone. Jiraiya was not scheduled to come home to Konoha for at least another year.

"What is it?"

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and smiled. He always did love the way she looked…particularly around the …

*SLAM*

Jiraiya had received a mega punch from Tsunade.

"Guess I was staring too long?"

Tsunade merely glared at Jiraiya as her fist steamed from the force of the punch.

Jiraiya laughed as he pulled himself together and looked at Tsunade; this time in her eyes.

"You won't believe what I'm about to tell you"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya intently. It wasn't often she received new like this.*

Yay! I did finish in time! It's only 1am! Woohooo! If you liked it let me know JThanks for reading!
