"Why are we still doing this? How would I know? Ask Leader. But he'll get mad…You're a wuss. Hey, I remember what happened the last time we got him mad! Of course you wouldn't, since you passed out screaming straight away…Did not! Did too! Not! Too!"

"Can you two shut up, you're worse than Hidan."

Kakuzu sighed as he sat down, stretching out his arms leisurely as he did.

"…So what are you here for?"

"Personal Finance."

"What? Ha, sucker! Shut up. Fine."

"Apparently there's this thing called taxes that Leader says I should know about. He claims it's very important to anyone who deals with money."

"True that, true that. Dude. You don't know what taxes are? Hey, don't judge! We're S-Ranked criminals, it doesn't even make sense that we have taxes. Of course he wouldn't know. More like he's gone completely senile. The medicine's in my hand. Okay, I'll shut up. Thank you. Now, basically, taxes are money you pay to the government. How much you pay depends on how much you earn, and how high your tax rates are. So since you're filthy rich, they're gonna try and make you give them about half of your money."

"N-NO! THEY CAN"T TAKE MY MONEY! I WON"T LET THEM!"

"Um…Kakuzu, are you okay"

"DESTROY ALL TAXES! ARRRRGGGGHHHH!"

Zetsu leaned back, narrowly dodging a flying chair to the head.

"Dude, calm down!"

"THEY"LL NEVER TAKE MY MONEY!"

Kakuzu roared once more, then stormed out of the room. Zetsu listened, slightly perplexed, to the sounds of complete and utter destruction wafting into the room from the outside world.

"Um…Leader's going to kill us. You think? I know."

"Zetsu!"

"Oh, hi Kisame. What do you want?"

"What did you do to Kakuzu? He's gone insane!"

"Um, well, you see, Leader told us to teach him about taxes, so we did. Yeah, I don't think he was too happy…"

"Did you tell him that he doesn't have to pay them"

"No…But we implied it…"

"Kakuzu's thick, you need to tell him straight-forwards! Now he thinks we're trying to take his money!"

"AHHH! GET OFF ME, YOU CREEP!"

Kisame glared at Zetsu before running back out.

"GET OFF OF KONAN!"

There was a loud thunk, then silence.

"Why are we still sitting here? Um…No clue. Then get moving! We need to leave, now! Agreed."

He stood up and let himself sink into the floor just seconds before Leader came storming into the room.

"ZETSU!"

Sorry this took so long! Well it's done now, and thank you to everyone who sent me ideas! So, Kakuzu's officially gone insane, and Zetsu's on last minute vacation. All because of taxes. But seriously, I'll be reading a story and it'll say something about Kakuzu doing taxes, and I'll just be like What? These are criminals we're talking about! They don't pay taxes! Some tax collector comes to their house, Kakuzu would kill him and take all the money he's already collected. Haha, take that, tax system! But, yeah. Next chapter is going to be Hidan, so I'm going to put the rating up because he swears and I'm not going to censor it since I feel it would detract from the story. So sorry if you can't read T-rated stories, but technically you'd have to be a really little kid to not be allowed to, I mean my 6-year old sister's allowed to read T-rated stories, but then again she swears like a 16-year old and other 6-year olds probably don't, so…Yeah. See ya!
