Losing Control Chapter 7: A kind of bird with a spot in its neck, a naruto fanfic

A kind of bird with a spot on its neck... makes you wonder

(Kakashi)

The red light suddenly died down. What is the meaning of this? I picked up my pace to reach Neji and asked him "Neji could you use you're Byakugan for a second something's not right.

"Okay… Byakugan"

"What seems to be the problem Kakashi-sensei?" Shikamaru asked glancing at Neji.

"Did you notice that red light is not there anymore? Red light usually signifies a Kyuubi's chakra so I just wanted to see if there is still a large amount of chakra Naruto is using or not."

"Kakashi-sensei, Naruto's chakra level has diminished a lot and there are two other people with him!"

"We have to catch up to Naruto and get to Jiraya and Tsunade with him… Akatsuki!" if the Akatsuki are controlling Tsunade and Jiraya… The Akatsuki will kill Naruto… We'll have to take some serious measures.

"Shikamaru tell the others to be prepared to fight we may encounter the Akatsuki."

"Right" Shikamaru dodge the branches and lead the group. He finally stopped and signaled to me to explain the crisis. The others stopped too.

"Alright I think the Akatsuki may be behind this even though we know Tsunade and Jiraya might have Naruto-."

.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"They have figured it out Deidara-kun. When do you think we should make our move?"

"… Just wait. Stop being so impatient all the time! Deidara-kun can I have some cookies, Deidara-Kun can we go out for a walk, bla, bla, bla!"

"I was just politely asking you. I think you are the greater thinker here!"

"Shut up! We're only in the trees of the hidden rock and not even near that damned Kyuubi!"

(Hinata)

I kept moving alongside but away from Naruto and his two hypnotized Sanin.

"Jiraya did you here that. I thought I heard someone giggle?" Tsunade zapped.

"We don't have time for looking around I already wasted time looking for someone else who didn't even show up"

Thank God Jiraya-sama didn't look further into the tree or I would have been toast!

Tsunade was right I did hear someone giggle… this place looks like the hidden rock.

(Kakashi)

I thought I heard someone giggle and paused for second ...then went on making the preparations.

"Since Sakura and Shikamaru have figured out that the Akatsuki are controlling Tsunade and Jiraya. They must have at least something to do with this. I need everyone to be prepared incase the Akatsuki show up. If we do come across them then I need to make groups now. Ok. Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Shino, Gaara, Temari, Sakura, Kurenai. This team will defeat the Akatsuki and stay in front with me. The next team. Lee, Gai, Izumo, Kiba, Neji, Kankurou, Kotetsu, Iruka, Ibiki, Yamato and Tenten. This team will go on and look for Naruto further ahead while the other team will fight the Akatsuki." I hastily decided.

"HAI (okay)!" Everyone roared after my incredulously long speech.

The teams took their positions and we moved on rapidly through the hidden rock.

"Wait for it… hmm hmm hmm… ok get set… NOW"

"I see someone familiar…someone we both know Deidara-kun"

(Kakashi)

I could sense chakra nearby. I didn't need Neji for that but he seemed to notice the chakr and used his Byakugan again and took a look around.

"I see two other people approaching us from the east!"

"Okay team one in position!" The team I lead let team two pass and continue their search for Tsunade, Jiraya and Naruto and headed to the west because the Akatsuki seemed to head that way.

"Team two in position Kakashi" Lee shouted to me with his thumbs up and… and face wet with tears… and turned back around to face his teammates. That boy is one of a kind. The trees shook feircely and the unexpected appeared before team one's eyes.

"So you're the pathetic team from Konoha trying to retrieve the Jinchuriki… I've already seen half of you and as you can see Kakashi… I'm still alive!" Deidara laughed with only one arm attached to his body. He must have medically stitched it back on. My Mangekyou Sharingan didn't work that well. There was another member of the Akatsuki hiding behind him. The shy member peered out at team one. He wore strangely twisted orange mask with a small hole poked into the right side of it.

"Oh come on out already Tobi."

"Okay Deidara-kun." The man glumly replied and stood out beside him. He was taller than he seemed from before when he hid behind Deidara.

"I'll take the orange masked member. Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Gaara, Sakura, Temari, Kurenai … you take Deidara."

"But Kakashi-…" Ino was about to say when I interrupted her.

"Leave this one to me if I need help I'll call you…"

"H-hai (O-okay)" she hesitated to agree and faced her opponent.

He just stood still waiting for me to make my move. I guess I should do what he wants me to or he'll never move. I lifted my forehead protector and let my sharingan eye breath and use its power. The moment I lifted it up, the orange masked man completely froze in shock.

"Sh-sharingan…?"

"What… you thought both my eyes had Sharingan?" Well how could he know.

"I know you don't" he told me in a rather polite manner. "An incident took place in this very area… the hidden rock. You lost you're best friend. And I lost mine"

"Hmm… How do you know that?" I asked him. How could this Akatsuki member know that he was my best friend? Of course Itachi knows of his relatives but it seems so absurd.

"You could say that I am a man who knows of centuries and has lived long."

What does he mean by a man who knows of centuries and had lived long? He couldn't be eighty… he looks thirty but I remember what Sasori and Kakuzu had under their huge robes so don't judge a book by its cover. Or should I say don't judge an Akatsuki by what's covering him…

"I am sorry but you do not need to know more unless I want you to."

Why is he apologizing? Is this guy a member of the Akatsuki or is he just nice? What kind of man would want to kill people to take over the world but be nice to them at the same time? Does he know who I am?

I couldn't play nice and let him ask questions all day so I made my first move forgetting what he had said earlier about my 'best friend'. I ran to him at the speed of light, our kunai's clashed and sparked. The motionless man stood by and waited for me a second time. Just a Kunai guarding his face. I darted towards him once more. I prepared a Chidori in my right hand accumulating heaps of lightning chakra.

"Chidori!" I forced it into his stomach and he… just let it hit him! He banged into the large tree stump and sank down. I jumped back and watched his body trembled due to the shockwave, as blood seeped through his long black and red clouded robe. He just got back up life nothing hit him. This is not like… well… anyone.

"Do you want to fight or not?"

"… Sharingan" his voice deepened. What he has Sharingan too!… but only using one eye? Now I know how it feels like to wonder about that. This is a bit absurd. We have the same scenario. I glanced into the whole on the right side of his mask. I recognized it immediately. I could see the Sharingan but it wasn't just any Sharingan technique it was

Mangekyou Sharingan. It took him a few seconds to activate it. I always have to wait a while before I can use it and I just mastered the technique. I think he's getting a little serious now.

"You know of Kisame-kun?"

"Yes I do." Why does he ask such strange questions?

"I hear the Mizukage of his village was pretty tough… no wonder Kisame is in the Akatsuki organization." he cheerfully said.

"Speaking of kage's… You knew the fourth… right? Hehe… I knew him well too. I know you're not an Uchiha, in fact I know you are Kakashi Hatake."

"H-how do you know my name?" How the hell does he know who I am?

"I told you before I am a man who knows of centuries and has lived long"

"Since you're a sensei do you know… Those who don't follow the rules and regulations are trash". "But those who don't care about their companions are worse than trash!"

I remember. I remember him. I remember those same words. Those words stung my heart like a poison arrow. The bridge I built was being walked all over... all over again. I used to care about the mission more than my companions. He valued friendship a hell lot more than I used to. Like Naruto. He cared about me and Rin more than anyone else… I changed my entire life because of him… Why am I hearing this again… from another person… This can't be a Genjutsu.

"W-wha… did you say… y-you didn't come back to life… did you… Answer my question. I answered all of you're questions!" I felt a lock on my throat. I couldn't swallow the bulge down properly. I held my emotions from leaking out. My hands turned to clenched fists. I didn't know what was going on. How did he know all this! He said he live long and he knew of centuries but he should be about my age so how could he live through centuries?!

"Who are you?"

"You know who I am. I do not wish to meet you all over again as I already have. I'm sorry if I upset you. W-when did you come up with that Chidori?" he sweetly asked. How could he just move onto another subject?

"You know what… I made that technique for a friend who supposedly died here in the Hidden Rock. Maybe I don't need Chidori anymore." I ran back to the original subject.

"I am a complex person." He chuckled. His right foot clumsily twisted in his other leg and he fell from the tree he asked oh so many questions on. I grabbed his neck and slammed him against the tree, my face just a few inches apart from his.

"WHO ARE YOU!?"
