"Fuck!" Pein bellowed, sprinting over to the door. It was locked. "Fuck!" he bellowed again, ramming it. It didn't budge. Undeterred, Pein performed a basic earth technique to blast a hole in the wall.

"Orochimaru!" he roared as he sprinted down the corridor.

"I have a really horrible feeling that something's about to happen," Deidara said. Sasori glared at the teen. "What?" Deidara asked.

"Last time you had a feeling that something was happening, we ended up here with a half dead Hidan and Kakuzu," the red head said, rolling his eyes. "Knowing our luck, something's going to have to happen now."

CRASH!

"Is that what you meant you felt something was about to happen?" Zetsu yelled over the sound.

"I think so!" Deidara yelled back, almost choking on the dust that somehow gathered in his mouth. As the debris was pushed off various Akatsuki members and the dust cleared, a large misshapen thing was revealed. After all the dust had cleared, the thing was revealed to be a large snake.

"Holy crap!" Deidara yelled. "What does that thing eat?"

"That's the first thing to comes to mind?" Sasori asked. "Shouldn't you be more worried about the guy standing on top of it?"

Deidara glanced at the top of the snake's head. Then he clicked his fingers in annoyance. "Ummm...Orochimaru! That's Orochimaru!" he finally yelled.

"An afterthought?" Itachi muttered.

"I cannot believe you guys..." Kisame mumbled. "Hurry up and run already!"

"Way ahead of you!" Zetsu yelled from down the corridor, where he was with Tobi and Konan.

"What are you doing down there?" Deidara yelled, already sprinting towards them.

"Thinking ahead!" Zetsu yelled back. "Now hurry up and run, that thing's chasing you!"

He was right, the snake had turned and was now slithering towards them, seemingly going a lot faster than any snake should. Obviously, the chase was decorated by a lot of cursing and swearing as the snake made attempts to bit the Akatsuki's legs off, or just swallow them whole.

"Hey, guys?" Tobi said. "I just realized two things. One, we're lost. Two, surely there should be some traps in this place, shouldn't we be looking out for them as well?"

"Don't be stupid Tobi, why would Orochimaru lay traps in a place where a lot of his henchmen where walking and running around?" Sasori asked.

"Well surely they would know," Tobi argued. "Besides, this could also be a place where prisoners or people like that are kept, so traps are needed to keep them in."

"You're over thinking things," Sasori dismissed, just as he stumbled over something. And of course, a trapdoor had to open up underneath the Akatsuki's feet.

"AAAHHHH!" all seven awake Akatsuki screamed as they fell six meters or so. Five of them landed with barely any pain, only slightly shaken up. Sasori was not one of those five, having landed first and therefore having nothing to stop him hitting the hard stone floor. Deidara was also unlucky, having crashed into Sasori and wracking his head painfully on the puppet's chest, which also knocked all the breath out of Sasori. And then everyone else crashed into them.

"Owww," Sasori and Deidara muttered as the others got up.

"I told you," Tobi said, looking in Sasori's direction.

"Well this is convenient," a horrible voice calmly said. "You're all in one place."

"Orochimaru!" Kisame cried out. "Well this a pleasant surprise, how have you been?"

"Stop trying to save yourself!" the others yelled, Sasori even jumping up and backhanding Kisame across the face to get the point across. Kisame wasn't put off however.

"Nice thing you've got going here. And you even have your own village...impressive. We never really spoke, but I have to admit, this is good," he said.

"Flattery will get you nowhere," Orochimaru said.

"But will the truth?" Kisame asked mysteriously. "The fact that you're trying to suppress Pein? That mean anything? Because I think you are. Let's review, Pein has a village, you have a lot of control over a country. Pein's the leader of an organisation, you're the leader of an even bigger organisation. Shall I go on?"

Orochimaru ha something that could be called rage in his eyes. "Kill him," he commanded the snake as he jumped off its head. The snake instantly shot downwards towards Kisame. The blue haired man stood there, eyes shut, completely calm. Then he opened them.

"Don't compare yourself to a better man," he said, his voice full of rage as he tossed Hidan up into the air and produced something from his pocket. He placed part of it in his mouth and pulled, before throwing it into the snake's open mouth. He caught Hidan as he fell.

"JUMP!" he bellowed. Startled, everyone in the hole did so.

BOOM!

The snake literally exploded. Scales, meat, guts, even teeth, they covered the hole and sprayed the ceiling. Kisame had flung a small bomb into the snake. The Akatsuki fled down the corridor, wiping snake from their faces.

"I think I got covered in part of its heart," Tobi mumbled, peeling a large piece of flesh from his arm.

"Shut up and run!" Kisame bellowed. "We aren't going to fight Orochimaru in such a small space! Get outside!"
