Chapter 2: Recruiting a new member.

Madara had gone through a difficult three years.

First he spent an entire year figuring out how to do his weird phasing in and out of reality trick without the Sharingan. He had found a way, but it took up twice as much chakra without the assistance of his doujutsu. After he finally got it to work, he taught it to Naru. It took her only two months to master it, as well as learn how to turn invisible at will. He supposed teaching her Kage Bunshin beforehand helped. The girl had inhuman chakra reserves, and even without the Kyuubi her chakra amounts were several times those of Kisame's.

The second year he spent mostly on training her in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. Her huge amounts of chakra made it impossible for her to use Genjutsu, because those required extreme precision, which was hard for the girl. Madara had also ignored her wind affinity, choosing instead to focus on her second affinity, lightning, because he considered those jutsu to be more…well, he wasn't sure why he skipped wind jutsu training. Maybe he just didn't like wind.

The last, most recent year of training was mostly theoretical and personality-wise. Madara had shown Naru how to switch from playful and annoying to serious and calculating in the span of a second. Problem was, after he told her that Tobi was the fake in his case, she permanently turned cold and manipulative and her happy, childish side became the fake aspect of her character. He had also told her his plans regarding the eight tailed beasts and explained to her exactly what the Akatsuki was. To his surprise, she just took it in stride and asked when she could become a member.

Naru looked out into the rain-covered city as she thought about the recent additions to her dad's organization, in which she was now third-in-command, even though she wasn't a member yet.

Sasori was just weird. He acted like a complete maniac, and kept on insisting that art is eternal. How he managed to put that into conversations completely unrelated to art, she had no clue. Plus, he kept on walking around in what she called "the tailed beast box". Honestly, who'd want to sit in that thing all the time? Heck, he probably slept in it as well.

She liked Orochimaru, though. The man had a sadistic and cruel personality which really appealed to her. He had also let her watch his experiments, and she even helped him out on a few occasions. She could tell that the man respected her.

Naru sighed as Pein stuck his head in her room and told her she was wanted for a meeting in the main hall.

"I received a summons for assistance from an Uchiha." Madara announced to the gathered members. Hidan and Kakuzu were out. Probably shopping for ramen for Naru, he smirked. Hidan was scared of Naru ever since she learned how to phase.

The others looked at him. "And I assume you want to go help them out?" Pein asked.

"Them?" Madara repeated. "No, no, the person who contacted me said that Konoha's elders ordered him to exterminate the Uchiha clan."

Orochimaru looked at him with interest. "And which Uchiha is it?"

Madara shook his head. "That is confidential. You'll meet him once he joins the Akatsuki, which he already said he wants to do."

"Anyway, I have an idea." Madara continued. "I originally planned to go and help out myself, but…oh, Naru, here's your ramen." He said as Hidan and Kakuzu walked in with several shopping bags.

Hidan slumped in his chair. "What'd we miss?"

Madara shrugged. "Not telling. It's your fault for not being here."

"You…but…she…ramen…" Hidan stammered. "This is bullshit! You sent us out!"

Kakuzu glared at him. "Shut up or I'll kill you."

"Like you could pull it off." Hidan scoffed.

Naru scowled at the man. "Want me to try then?"

Hidan flinched and slid lower in his chair. "I'll be good."

"Anyway, I decided to send Naru here to help the guy out." Madara stated. "This will be a good field test for her. If she does well enough, I'll make her a member of this group." He turned to his adoptive daughter. "So, Naru, you up for this?"

Naru shrugged. "Sure."

"He sent a child?" Itachi asked in disbelief. "A freaking child?"

Naru glared at him. "To quote Kakuzu: shut up or I'll kill you."

Itachi ignored that. "Let me get this straight. Madara Uchiha, THE Madara Uchiha, co-founder of Konoha and the strongest person alive, sent an eight-year-old girl instead of coming himself? My opinion of the man just sank to zero."

Naru continued glaring at him. "You ready or not? I don't have all night."

Itachi sighed. "Fine, let's go."

Itachi looked at his partner as he killed another clansman, and saw her stick a kunai into a woman's chest. He watched as the woman fell to the ground, then noticed Naru stare at her first kill before shaking her head and chucking several shuriken at another man.

Itachi smiled to himself. I guess Madara did train her well.

Itachi and Naru stood over the bodies of Itachi's parents.

Naru frowned, tired. "So is this everybody?"

Itachi sighed. "There's one left."

"Who is it?" Naru asked curiously.

"My brother." Itachi stated. "He didn't know about the planned uprising, so he's innocent."

On cue, Sasuke came rushing into the room, then froze as he saw his brother's figure in the shadow.

"Niisan?" Sasuke asked, scared. "What happened?"

Naru spoke up from the shadow concealing her. "Should I kill him?" Sasuke flinched.

"No, Naru." Itachi shook his head. "I'll deal with this."

After the Tsukuyomi, Sasuke collapsed. The last thought going through his head was revenge. Itachi…mysterious Naru person…I will kill you both…and I'll have my revenge…ha ha ha Ha HA…oh wait, I'm fainting…crap.

Naru slapped Itachi upside his head. "Idiot. Why'd you use my name in front of him?"

Itachi frowned, that was indeed a stupid mistake.

"Come on, Itachi-baka." Naru sighed. "Let's go report back to base."
