Blind
The look in Naruto's eyes flashed with countless emotions. There was shock, fear, sadness, and confusion all at once. "No," he murmured in disbelief. He shook his head in doubt before yelling, "STOP THE CAR NOW!" He was about to scoot himself over to the door next to him and open it to get out, but Sasuke wrapped his arms around his waist and held him just in time. Naruto immediately struggled to break free and screamed, "LET ME GO BASTARD! My dad needs me!"
"Naruto, calm down," Sasuke scowled. Naruto slid his hands in-between both their chests and tried to push him away.
Mikoto looked back at Naruto from the passenger seat. Sasuke tried to calm him down, but he kept struggling to get away. The hurt in Naruto's eyes pained her to see. If something terrible happens to Minato, his only family will be gone forever. I guess she understands why he was acting like that and couldn't say anything against it.
"Naruto," Fugaku called. "I promised Gaara I'd take you to the airport and take care of you. I can't stop the car now, but I'm sure your father will be okay."
"No," Naruto cried. "Sasuke, please, I have to go to him. I can't leave him," he begged, pushing him away relentlessly. Sasuke held a strong grip though. His dad wasn't going to stop the car and he wasn't going to risk him getting hurt if he just decided to jump out.
"Naruto, we don't even know what's happened to him or where he is," Sasuke bitted.
Both Fugaku and Mikoto looked back at Naruto with worried eyes. "Sweetie," Mikoto sighed, turning her attention to her husband as he focused his eyes on the road. "What's happened to Minato?" she asked, feeling a bit hesitant.
"Gaara received a call from Minato when he was on his way to the airport. He said he sounded as if he were injured and could barely speak. Gaara called me immediately afterward in order to tell me just that and that he didn't think he'd make it to the airport." Fugaku informed; his voice low so as to not let the blonde hear.
Sasuke kept whispering reassuring words to Naruto until he slowly quit resisting him. "I promise you everything will be alright. I'm certain that your father will call you once he gets the chance. That best you can do right now is to remain calm okay?" he said, while embracing the sobbing blonde closer to his chest.
Naruto nodded and cried silently in the back seat with a feeling of helplessness. Tears that ran endlessly down his cheeks had stained the raven's shirt, so he apologized for it. "I'm sorry about your shirt Sasuke," he said in a shaky voice.
"It's alright Naruto," Sasuke replied, while running a hand through golden locks soothingly.
Mikoto looked back at Naruto once more. "If he doesn't call back after a while, you can call Gaara, so you can speak to your father, alright honey?"
Naruto nodded and hid his face into Sasuke's chest. He hated crying like this in front of others. He felt sort of embarrassed, but couldn't help the tears that continued to stream down his face.

Minato woke up in a hospital bed. He felt intense pain in his left shoulder where he had been shot. The loud beeping in the white room intimidated him. He saw a bunch of people starring down at him with masks that covered both their mouth and noses. 'Where am I?' he thought.
The doctor immediately noticed his patient gained consciousness and assured him that he'd be alright. "Sir, you are in hospital. You have been shot in the left shoulder and were immediately taken into the OR. I will inject you with Methohexital, so you'll feel a light sting. That will help put you to sleep while we do surgery. You won't feel a thing, I promise," the doctor informed.
Minato nodded weakly and watched as the world before him slowly began to fade. ***
Gaara was speaking to a police officer who had heard gunshots a few distances away from Minato's apartment. They were talking right outside the operating room. The officer said he had arrived right when he saw two men jump into the back seat of a black vehicle. The officer radioed back up while he instantly headed inside the apartment to check if anyone had been hurt.
Gaara spoke with an emotionless façade. He was currently angry with himself for not getting there in time to help Minato. When Gaara arrived in the apartment, the hinges on the door had been broken. The door had apparently been kicked down by one of those mobsters before the cop arrived. He just couldn't believe he didn't see it coming. His job alone was to save Naruto's family, but he was too late.
"Did you find the crooks?" Gaara asked.
The officer shook his head in disappointment. "They are out their searching for them right now."
"Did you manage to witness how they looked like?" Gaara continued.
The officer shook his head once more. "I'm sorry sir. All I managed to see was the shoulder of a man as he jumped into the vehicle. It was covered with snake tattoos."
Gaara nodded. "That'll be all then. Thanks."
"Yes sir." With that, the officer made his leave.
Gaara watched the officer's retreating back as it disappeared through the exit doors. He felt infuriated with himself. "Damn it!" he growled as he kicked the chair beside him. ***
"Come on Naruto," Sasuke ordered as he stepped out of the car. "Let's go. The sooner we get on the plane, the sooner we can arrive in Mexico. Are you alright?" he asked, as he extended his hand to help the blonde out of the car.
Naruto took Sasuke's offered hand and got out. "Yeah," he nodded. "I'm fine."
"Good." Fugaku told them, gaining their attention. "Sasuke, me and your mother will go get the plane tickets. You go ahead without us and we'll catch up with you later. Take Naruto with you," he ordered.
Sasuke nodded and went around to the back of the car to get his and Naruto's things. Once Sasuke opened the trunk, he handed Naruto his backpack while he slung his over his shoulder.
Naruto watched as Sasuke took out two suitcases and set them on the ground beside him before slamming the trunk shut with a loud 'THUNK'. He flinched at the sound and smiled nervously when Sasuke looked at him. "Let me help you with one Sasuke," he said, walking over to pick one up.
"It's alright. I've got them." ***
Once everybody was set on the plane, they got themselves comfortable. Both Sasuke's parents were two seats away from Naruto's and Sasuke's. Fugaku listened to his iPod as Mikoto flipped through what was on television.
"At what time will we arrive in Mexico, Sasuke?" Naruto wondered, moving a little as Sasuke got a little more comfortable.
Sasuke shifted in his sit into a more comfortable position before answering. "We'll get there around 3 p.m. tomorrow."
"Damn it," Naruto grumbled angrily.
"Just enjoy the long time we're going to spend together dobe," Sasuke suggested.
"Long straight 18hrs with you… on this plane? I'm gonna die of boredom." Naruto huffed.
Sasuke rolled his eyes at the comment. "Well excuse me for being so boring! We'll be changing airlines anyway, so you can sit next to my mother when the time comes." With that, he picked up a book and began reading it.
"Aw, come on Sasuke, entertain me." Naruto whined, pouting cutely.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the pouting blonde. "Okay, fine."
"Pardon me," a woman with a cart interrupted. "Would you like anything to eat?"
Naruto looked up at her and shook his head. "Not now, thanks. What about you Sasuke?" he asked, turning his head in Sasuke's direction.
Sasuke nodded, looking up at the lady. "No, but do you happen to have a movie called 'Armageddon'?" he asked.
The woman smiled. The man who spoke to her was gorgeous! "Actually, umm…?"
"It's Sasuke," Naruto said, looking up at her once again. He was confused by the odd look she was giving his boyfriend. He couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy as she continued look at him that way.
"Sasuke," she repeated with a slight giggle. "We don't, I'm sorry."
Sasuke nodded, unfazed by her sudden actions. He was used to girls acting that way around him. "It's alright. Thank you any-"
"But," the woman said, cutting him off. "I do own that movie and I happen to have it with me as well. I'm willing to let you borrow it if you want?" she offered.
"That'd be great, thank you." Sasuke said, shooting her a sexy smile.
Naruto turned around to look up at the raven as he said this. He didn't miss that flirty smile he shot her. Naruto drew his eyebrows together and looked up at the woman once more.
"Anything for you," she said seductively. "Be right back."
Naruto glared daggers at the woman after she gave the raven a wink and walked away.
Sasuke noticed the way Naruto looked at the lady and smirked knowingly. "Hn, what's wrong?"
Naruto turned his attention toward the raven and continued to glare. "What was that?" he asked irritably, pointing at the woman's direction.
Sasuke shrugged and turned his attention back to his book.
Naruto snatched the book away. "You were flirting with her!" Naruto accused.
Sasuke smiled before shaking his head. He knew the dobe was jealous, it was pretty obvious. "I only did it so she'd let me borrow the movie. You wanted to be entertained didn't you? It's a good movie." He told him.
Naruto huffed and turned his head in the opposite direction as he handed back his book. "You didn't have to smile at her that way though," he mumbled.
"Did you want me to be me my usual self and completely ignore her existence?" he asked.
"…"
"I love only you, Naruto. No need to get jealous." Sasuke teased.
Naruto blushed after he said this. "I wasn't jealous," Naruto scoffed.
Sasuke put his book away and turned Naruto's chin to face him. Blue eyes instantly stared into dark coal one's. The way their faces were merely inches apart and how Naruto's plump lips looked deliciously kissable at that moment, Sasuke really couldn't resist.
Naruto was shocked when the raven instantly kissed him without a warning. He felt as Sasuke's tongue slid between his lips and pushed its way into his mouth. He instantly grabbed the raven's shoulders and struggled to push him away. "Sas- mgh, what are you- !? Mmm, STOP IT!" he groaned, speaking in between kisses.
But Sasuke didn't pull away. His slick muscle continued to explore every inch of Naruto's mouth. The taste of Naruto's tongue was intoxicating. For someone who never liked sweet things, this time, he was willing to make an exception. The blonde's sweet taste was enough to make him go crazy. Although he had heard Naruto ask him to stop, as the kiss got deeper, he couldn't bring himself to do so.
Naruto felt the kiss deepen. He gripped Sasuke's shoulders tighter and tried to push him away. It wasn't that he honestly disliked his boyfriend kissing him like that, but he caught him of guard and he found himself quickly running out of breath. "Sas…ke, I can't- mgh, I can't BREATH!" He said angrily.
The raven pulled back and leaned his forehead against the other. A thin string of saliva still connected them but Sasuke broke it when he licked his lips to say 'sorry'.
Naruto breathed heavily, desperately trying to catch his breath. "Bastard…" he murmured. "You completely screwed up my real first kiss!" Sasuke glowered as Naruto pushed him back angrily.
"What?" He asked, sitting back into his seat. "Did you expect a large sunset in the background, almost like a fairy tale, or did you want it to be with someone else?"
Naruto glared at the raven more intensely; his eyes glazed with disbelief. "That's not it, bastard! Why would I want to kiss a girl when I have you? And just so you know, I actually did want to have a really big sunset in the background because it would have been more romantic than being kissed on a plane with a bunch of old people!" He growled.
Sasuke cleared his throat after a few seconds when he noticed a bunch of old people starring at them. It took a few seconds for Naruto to realize it too. Maybe he shouldn't have said that out loud.
Naruto laughed nervously and apologized, but the old people kept starring at them. Some had angry looks and some had 'what-the-heck-is-going-on-and-why-are-we-all-starring-at-those-young-kids-over-there' looks. "Sasuke," Naruto whispered. "Do something!"
"Hn, this is your fault. Why should I fix it?" He replied.
Naruto sweat dropped. "Use that scary glare of yours, quickly! I think I'm beginning to feel uncomfortable," Naruto whined.
Did he just say 'scary glare'? Sasuke sighed while standing a little in order to look at everyone around him. He kneeled with one leg on his seat, while the other was flat on the ground, and had his hand holding onto the top of his seat. He closed his eyes for a second and opened them back up with the most frightening glare any Uchiha could ever muster. It was enough to send chills go down your back is if you've just witnessed a ghost. It was scary, indeed.
Naruto watched as all the old people quickly went about their business. He was surprised none of them got a heart. He knew he certainly would if he was that old. But then again, if he gets to be with Sasuke until he was that old, it probably wouldn't take effect and the glare would be pretty much useless. "Thanks Sasuke, but I don't think it worked on your dad."
Sasuke rolled his eyes and sat back down. As he did so, Fugaku shrugged and began to listen to his IPod again. He had paused whatever he was listening too when he noticed what was going on, but he was as clueless as ever. He just figured it was his son just being his son again.
"Naruto," Sasuke began, slightly irritated. He hated apologizing when he didn't mean it, but he truly felt sorry for ruining Naruto's real romantic kiss with a sunset in the background. "I'm sorry for ruining your real first kiss."
Naruto looked at him surprised. "You're apologizing?" he asked, bewildered.
Sasuke looked at him and glared. "Yeah, isn't it obvious? I figured it meant a lot to you."
Naruto made an 'o' with his lips. "Well, actually, that's why I wanted you to come with me to the beach. It's okay though. Apology accepted. Girls fantasize about that kind of stuff anyway. I'm a man, so it's no big deal."
Sasuke nodded sadly. He could tell Naruto was using an excuse to cover up how he truly felt. "Naruto, how about I make it up to you?"
Naruto rolled his eyes. "I told you it was okay Sasuke, geez."
"No really. How about you lose your virginity to me in front of a large sunset? We could do it on the beach!" He smirked. He flinched away when Naruto raised an angry fist.
"Shut up Sasuke! I'm not ruining that special moment too, ESPECIALLY NOT IN PUBLIC!" He yelled, almost popping a vein on his forehead.
The woman that stood beside them cleared her throat and gained both of the couple's attention. "Here's the movie, Sasuke." She giggled.
"Thanks." Naruto said, snatching away the movie from her grip angrily.
The woman huffed and made her way down the aisle. ***
Riiiiing. Riiiiing. Riiii- beep.
Gaara answered his phone with an irate 'hello.' "Oh, it's you. What is it? …Figures, who told you? …Yeah, he's still in the hospital. ….Grrr, well I'm not capable of taking care of both of them at once! …And how do you want me to cope with this situation? ….Fine, I've got some important news. The Uchiha's haven't heard from Itachi ever since he joined the Akatsuki. The Snakes weren't the one's that killed more than half of the Uchiha clan to seek revenge on Itachi as well. …I'm not sure why Itachi would want to do that. …Right, I'll call you when I know something."
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Mr. Uzumaki, can I come in?" Gaara asked.
"Go head Gaara, come in," said Minato, his voice sounding a bit strained.
Gaara opened the door to the hospital room and looked over at Minato who was resting on the hospital bed. He was shirtless and had bandages on his left shoulder where he had been shot. He looked tired and helpless. It almost hurt to see such a cheerful man so depressed.
"I still don't understand why the Akatsuki murdered my wife," Minato began, sadly. "Nor why The Snakes are after us as well. I've been sitting here trying to figure that out, but I haven't come up with a solution -God!" he gritted out in frustration. He was on the verge of tears. He still couldn't believe that what Gaara had told him was true. "Forgive me if I've done anything wrong to deserve this. I don't want my son to get hurt," he cried.
"You haven't done anything wrong Minato. Naruto is safe; he's with Mr. Uchiha, a trained officer. I'm sure he'll take good care of him," Gaara assured.
Minato nodded slowly and got off the bed.
"Mr. Uzumaki, what are you doing!? The doctor said you need your rest." Gaara told him.
"I was shot on the left arm. That's it. I don't need to rest because of that," he said in a matter fact. "We need to track down those Snakes somehow and get a hold of Itachi. I knew him since he was a child. He grew up in the small town I lived in. He has to let me speak to him long enough to convince him that this is wrong. I will not have my son get hurt. He's all that I have left from Kushina!" He said, determined.
"Sir, it won't be easy, you-"
"I know it won't, but I'm willing to do anything to protect those I love and cherish," he explained.
Gaara watched as Minato pulled on a white t-shirt that he got from a small closet in the room and slipped on his shoes. "But what if Itachi won't listen and ends up killing you? You can't just abandon Naruto like that," he tried to reason.
"I understand, but I'm willing to make sacrifices," he persisted. "As long as I've done the best that I can to protect my family, I will rest in peace. Although Itachi has done wrong, I still have little faith in him; I know that he always had perfectly good explanations for his wrongdoings."
"Mr. Uzumaki," Gaara gritted out, completely against Minato's choice of going after Itachi.
"I won't listen to anymore of this, Gaara. We must leave and get to Mexico, pronto." With that, Minato took his exit, leaving Gaara behind. Minato felt impelled to take a stand against the issue and there was nothing anyone could do or say to stop him.
Riiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing. Riiiii- beep.
"Hello? …You again, what do you want?! …They what!? …But how is that possible? I thought that the Akatsuki was found here in Konoha… No! Naruto is on his way there right now, so is Mr. Uzumaki. I can't stop them! …Don't you understand? They're not safe here anyway. Mr. Uzumaki was shot by a member of that damned Snake mafia! …Fine, just don't get yourself caught. And don't let them find out that you and the others are fallowing around both the Uzumaki's and the Uchiha's too. ...Yes, bye," Gaara said, hanging up and putting the cell into his pocket. Now, time to get Mr. Uzumaki and head toward Mexico, he thought. ***
"Neji…?" Said Minato, looking at the man before him a bit perplexed. "What are you doing here?"
"I heard about what happened to you Mr. Uzumaki. Are you alright?" a boy with white eyes and long brown hair tied up into a low ponytail, wondered aloud.
Minato nodded. "How did you know?" he asked, surprised.
"Hn, it's a small town, so word gets around quick." He stated.
Gaara stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted Minato and a familiar guy about his age near the exit. 'Him…' he thought with a grim set look on his face.
Minato spotted Gaara as he came up beside him. "Oh, Gaara, are you ready to go? I've already checked out."
"Yeah," he uttered, glowering at the other man.
Minato noticed and laughed nervously. "Right, um… this is Neji. Neji," he introduced, with a grin very similar to Naruto's plastered on his face, "this is Gaara."
"Hey," Neji said with small smirk.
Gaara just turned his head and ignored him.
"Eheh, you'll have to excuse him," Minato said nervously. "He's kind of hard to talk to."
"It's alright. So, where are you both headed off to?" he asked, dismissing it.
Minato opened his mouth to speak, but Gaara beat him to it.
"Mexico," Gaara replied bluntly, "you coming?"
Minato tensed as Gaara said this and instantly excused them both in order to have a private word. With their backs turned to the brunette, Minato and Gaara began whispering to one another.
"Gaara, I don't think that's such a great idea. It's too dangerous, maybe he shouldn't come?"
"He has a private jet." Gaara reasoned, trying to keep his voice down.
"That might be so, but- Wait a minute, how do you know that?" Minato asked, confused.
"He's a Hyuga. I'm sure many have heard of him and the fact that he's a stubborn, careless, impudent, rich guy."
Neji glared holes into Gaara's back. "You do realize I can hear everything your saying?"
Minato sweat dropped and instantly turned around to face him with an innocent expression. "Eheh, sorry Neji. He didn't mean it," he apologized.
Gaara glared up at Minato. "Yes I did." He argued.
Minato instantly elbowed him in the right arm and made the red head groan in slight pain.
"Look," Neji began. Gaara averted his gaze while rubbing his shoulder from where he had been hit. "I have great respect for you Mr. Uzumaki. After what I heard, I'm not willing to let that pass. I'll help you track down who ever did it and make them pay," he swore, with a determined gleam in his eyes.
"Thanks Neji," Minato said kindly, "but that really isn't necessary. All I-"
"I'm not taking 'no' for answer. I'll go with you and we'll travel on my private jet. That way, it'll be at no cost to you and maybe we can get there faster," he offered.
Minato held a thoughtful expression for a few moments before shaking his head slowly. "I'm sorry; I can't put you in danger."
Gaara rolled his eyes. "Let him come with us, sir. Neji is pretty popular. I'm sure he can help us track down those crooks faster than we can on our own."
"…"
"Please Mr. Uzumaki, let me help," Neji pleaded as Minato averted his gaze.
"Fine," Minato replied sternly. "But we must hurry."
Both Neji and Gaara nodded at once and all three instantly rushed through the exit doors. ***
"Look at you Naruto," Sasuke said in disbelief. He grabbed a few tissues from somewhere beside him and handed them to the blonde. "You're an emotional wreck!"
"W-Well excuse me for being sentimental over someone who is just about to die," he sniffled, taking the tissue from Sasuke's hand and blowing his nose.
Sasuke rolled his eyes as Naruto threw the used tissue away and grabbed another one. He turned his attention back to the screen after witnessing a few more tears stream down Naruto's face.
'Harry,' the main character in the movie, Armageddon, had sacrificed himself in order to safe humanity and died. It was really a sad ending, but after witnessing the bright smiles on the faces of the people on earth, to him, made it all worth it. Imagine the world ending before your life has even begun? Harry had given those people a second chance to start anew and appreciate life a little better. Don't just sit around waiting for something amazing to happen, go out and search for it because you may never know when a meteor, the size of Texas, will decide to strike us down and destroy us all. A man like Harry may not be there to save us. But if you can't find what you're searching for, wait patiently and let it come to you.
When the credits came on, Naruto turned off the screen and whipped his tears away. "That was a really good movie, I honestly loved it." Naruto commented.
Sasuke smirked, "told you it was a good movie."
Naruto nodded and leaned his head against Sasuke shoulder. "You were right," he whispered, closing his eyes with a small smile plastered on his face.
Sasuke snaked an arm around the blonde's waist and pulled him close. "Are you sleepy?"
"A little bit," he replied. "Hey Sasuke, what would you do if the world was going to end in 12 days?" he asked, curiously.
"I'd do what I'm doing now, that is… finding my brother and seeking answers, and make love to you as much as possible," he replied.
"Sasuke, we hadn't even had sex yet and you're already fantasying about it. Get your mind out of the gutter!" he said angrily.
"Hn. And what would you do if the world were to end in 12 days?" he asked.
Naruto shrugged. "I wouldn't want that to happen. There's so much I haven't seen nor done. If the world were to end in 12 days than maybe I should've died when my mom was killed… but then, I wouldn't have met you," he finished.
Naruto looked up at the raven with warm eyes. The way the blonde looked at him gave him an odd feeling inside. It was a good feeling. Almost as if he had butterflies in his stomach. Sasuke leaned down and drew Naruto into a passionate kiss. It wasn't a heated kiss like before. This one was more gentle and loving. Like, it should have been at first. God he was an idiot.
Naruto pulled back a little and sighed. He remembered about his father and wondered if he was okay, if anything happened to him, and where he was now.
Sasuke immediately noticed the sad look in Naruto's eyes and wondered what was wrong. "Are you okay Naruto?" he asked, softly.
Naruto shook his head and spoke sadly. "My dad… I want to talk to him," he told him.
Sasuke nodded in understanding and gave Naruto a chaste kiss. "Be right back. I'll see what I can do."
Naruto nodded as Sasuke got up and walked down the aisle toward his parent's direction.
After Sakura annoyed the hell out of him for calling him to many times, he decided to throw his cell phone away after intentionally breaking it. He hadn't gotten a new one since, mainly because he didn't feel the need to. "Dad, I need your phone."
"For what?" he asked, putting away his IPod.
"Naruto wants to speak with Mr. Uzumaki. He's worried about him."
Fugaku nodded and reached his cell phone from his back pocket and took it out. "Here you go."
Sasuke grabbed it and gave him a 'thanks.' He was about to leave, but his mother stopped him before he could.
"Oh, Sasuke wait! Have you guys eaten anything?" she asked.
Sasuke turned his head to look at her. "Not yet, but I'll order something right now." With that, he made his way back toward his seat.
***
Mexico, Colima; Akatsuki headquarters…
"Hahah, guess what Itachi?" A man with a shock of black hair and who wore an odd mask that covered his face except for his right eye, asked excitedly.
"Shut up Tobi." Itachi growled; annoyance evident in his tone of voice and facial features.
The room they were in was dark, illuminated with only a dim candle light. Itachi sat across a long table from where Tobi sat in front of him chuckling.
"You shouldn't be so spiteful, Itachi. I just wanted to tell you the great news!" he announced, cheerfully. When Itachi didn't respond, Tobi decided to continue. "I heard that your little brother was on his way here to Mexico. Aren't you excited?" he asked.
Itachi drew his eyebrows together and stood, angrily slamming his hands against the table's hard surface with the palms of his hands. "What did you say!?"
"Heh, well, it turns out that he's not coming alone." Tobi explained, unfazed by Itachi's reaction. "You're entire family is on their way over here too." Tobi shifted in his seat and crossed his arms in front of his chest before continuing. "The Snakes mafia found Uzumaki's location as well."
Itachi's eye's partially widened in surprise.
"The Snakes only attacked Mr. Uzumaki." Tobi declared. "He was shot in the left shoulder, but apparently a cop showed up as the snakes took their escape. They must have heard them coming. The Snakes mafia knows nothing about your family though. As far as I know, they think you killed them all."
Itachi gulped silently and turned his head away.
"Your family hiding in Konoha will be for nothing if they find them here in Mexico. Turns out that your family followed Naruto on his flight back to Mexico, so if they find him…" Tobi quit talking and let Itachi figure out the rest on his own.
They find Sasuke, Itachi thought angrily, finishing Tobi's words. I can't let that happen… if they find Sasuke they will find the rest of my family as well and realize that I hadn't indeed killed my entire family.
"It's going to be a nice family reunion, won't it…?" Tobi teased.
Itachi sat back down and looked at Tobi furiously. "Since when did you know about this?"
"Relax, I just found out from a soldier(1) a few moments ago." Tobi defended.
"Call the boss." Itachi ordered.
TBC
A/N: (1)A soldier in a mafia is no doubt the dirtiest rank to hold within the Mafia. They do all of the ugly work, including collecting outstanding payments, tracking down people who have wronged the Mafia, and doing whatever it takes to protect the higher-ranking members. While they may seem to have the most difficult and grittiest work, they actually don't make a lot of money and don't have much power within the family.
Next chapter I'll explain more about the Akatsuki Mafia. Please review and tell me if you love it, hate it, or if you think it's really nothing special. I might also reveal who that mystery person is that Gaara was speaking to on the phone if you hadn't figured it out already.
