Hello reader! I told you I'd update and I stay true to things like that! JI hope you enjoy this chapter as well as the story!

The last thing he heard was Hidan's whiny voice.*

The next time Shin heard anything was when he was in a large dark room with just one single torch lighting up the room. He attempted to move but was seemingly chained to a wall. To his left was Ami; he could barely make out who it was at first but once her eyes opened he was certain; no other person processed eyes as blue as hers.

Her eyes looked empty…as if she had been infiltrated mentally.

"Ami…are you okay?"

Her weak expression she gave didn't make Shin feel any better. How were they going to escape? Why were they still alive in the first place…did the akatsuki want them to talk? In that case… they would have no choice.

"Shin…we have to take our pills...for that is the only way we can protect our knowledge."

From the corner of the room a deep and dark voice laughed at them cruelly.

"Don't worry about that…they've already been removed; compliments of having an ex-anbu in our organization."

Ami nodded her head slowly. She began thinking of Itachi…it was no surprise their secret fail safe plan had been discovered. This was it then…her theory of peace never truly existing had come true in time to send her and Shin to their demise.

The strange thing was that as Ami looked to Shin he didn't seem down, like he was confident that they would survive.

"Oh wow! You're so big and strong! You have to chain me up because you're scarred to fight me!"

Ami looked at him; he had completely lost his mind…and his life.

The man merely laughed coldly at him. He had a deep voice even though Ami couldn't identify him. It definitely wasn't the man that had ambushed them in the woods. She was also certain that Itachi Uchiha didn't speak or laugh in this fashion.

"Tell me everything you know about Konoha's jinchuriki and Konoha's defenses and I may kill you quickly rather than slowly."

Shin and Ami exchanged looks; they had both been trained in resisting torture, but they couldn't help but feel as if their lives for going to end.

Ami was truly upset with herself; if only she had trained more or tried harder…then perhaps she could have prevented this whole situation.

Shin on the other hand was smiling; it seemed even being in a situation this fragile and desperate was not enough to tone him down.

The man who sat in the shadows gave off another bone chilling laugh as he spoke.

"Kuku kuku…you have chosen my favorite of the two options; I hope you enjoy torture."

Ami took at deep breath; this wouldn't be easy.*

Frederick then walked out and Kisame followed him out the door.*

Frederick knew that Kisame was extremely powerful; not only had Pein once bragged and said he processed the most chakra in the akatsuki, but he was incredibly powerful. He completely understood why he had been chosen as the taijustu trainer for not only was he great friends with Itachi, but he was superior to the taijustu master of Guy.

"Itachi spoke very highly of you, kid; I hope you're not just some one hit wonder."

Frederick took a moment to think about it. He hadn't ever really been the sporty type of person. He did notice that he had more energy in this world but he wasn't very adept at running around or moving at great speeds. He did notice he could jump higher and his overall speed was better but he didn't understand how he could be trained in taijustu…what would he have to do five hundred punches or something?

Finally they arrived at a large open plain. Frederick had no idea where this place was but it was large and he couldn't make out the end to it. Overall the plain was just simple grass as far as the eye could see with the forest they emerged from behind them.

Kisame who had been carrying his signature sword cast it to the side.

"You have until night to land a punch on me; you may not use any justu except for your own physical abilities. It has been said that to learn something properly you have to dive head first into it; in this case try not to splatter your head too badly."

Kisame grinned as he stood still; waiting for Frederick to attack.

"I don't get any hints or anything?"

Kisame laughed at Frederick.

"That was your hint."

Frederick frowned as he took a position ready to strike at Kisame.

Frederick ran forward towards the clearly amused Kisame. His speed wasn't anything exceptional but it was considerably faster than how he used to be able to run.

As Frederick got close enough to Kisame he formed a fist and attempted to punch him in the face, but as his punch got to Kisame; he simply moved his fist and twirled around Frederick's arm, ultimately bringing Frederick down to a knee from the pain he now felt in his arm.

Kisame grinned at how easy this was.

"Wow kid, you're worse than I thought if you're going to punch like that."

Frederick didn't hesitate as he lifted his other leg and attempted to knee Kisame in the stomach. Frederick surprised himself with how terrific his strength was now that he was in this world; a move like this would have been terrific on the subway.

The knee to Kisame's stomach made impact as Kisame laughed after the blow.

"Not bad kid, you have some force, but you still didn't punch m-"

Kisame was interrupted with Frederick's other arm slamming into his face.

Kisame immediately let go of Frederick's arm as he jumped back quickly from Kisame. Frederick smiled; not only had he been successful but he found out that he could do some really cool defensive moves.

"Wow kid, you've actually impressed me; I guess I underestimated you. Well I have an idea and I hope you like presents."

Frederick looked at Kisame with a confused look as Kisame began to perform a summoning from a scroll he had pulled out.

Frederick watched as from the smoke appeared a small sword wrapped in a similar way to Samahada.

"This was the blade I used to slay Fuguki Suikazan! That's when I got Samahada. In all honesty I will never need this blade again, and a katana like this suits your style. You're very resourceful and pull off quick kills. When I eliminated the squad I was supposed to protect I needed to be quick so they wouldn't get the intelligence Fuguki attempted to give away."

Frederick nodded slowly; he had a basic understanding of Kisame but he had trouble remembering what had happened in his past.

Kisame handed the blade over to Frederick, who then unwrapped the newly received blade from its bandaging.

Frederick observed the small blade; in a way it was similar to Sasuke's but different.

Frederick then proceeded to swing it around lightly as he got a feel for the blade.

Kisame then picked up Samahada.

"The way you're built you'll never be a true taijustu threat nut if you can learn how fight smart when up close; you'll be a real threat."

Frederick nodded slowly as he placed the holster to his back.

"You're next challenge is to defeat me in a sword fight."

Frederick and Kisame exchanged grins at each other.

This was turning out to be something really special.*
