Ok. Basically this is set at the beginning of Shippuden, after Naruto returns to the village but after the normal series, after Sasuke leaves the leaf village.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.


"What a pain." Kisame said as they headed to the sand village in search of the 'kitties'. Every pair had an allocated country to search. Itachi and Kisame was ordered to search the sand village.

"Hm..But this is to your advantage, since you have the samehada..." Itachi said.

"Yes. He's going to have a good time." Kisame said, smiling.

"Here we come fire assholes. We're headin for the kitty~~" Hidan sang.

"Hidan, shut the fuck up."

Hidan continues to sing...

"This is just going to be so fun..."

They make progress to the fire country.

*woosh* Deidara and sasori sits on the clay bird.

"So Sasori-sama. I have a feeling this is going to be interesting.. hm?"

"..."

The bird heads to the lightning country.

It was a beautiful bright and sunny day at Konoha, but not so in the Hokage's office...

Tsunade slumped her fist down the table hard, causing the surrounding people to step backwards. "How could the Akatsuki find out?" she said in such a voice that threatened to explode. "This was kept secret by every village and a treaty was signed to protect these remaining sage cats. Natsu, Nami, Jukai and Sukai."

"I say we just kill them and make sure the Akatsuki doesn't get them." Naruto said carelessly.

There was a quick movement and BANG.

Followed by swearing.

Naruto was under the pile of rubble of the wall which now had a massive hole in it.

"ouch" Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sanins whispered under his breath.

"Naruto, enough of your stupid ideas and comments." Tsunade said, walking back to where she was standing before. "These cats are very important and sacred to our world. There are only four left"

Naruto stood up slowly, one hand on the wall to keep him steady and the other on his head, making sure it was still there. This woman is crazy he thought. A finger and I came flying into the wall; fortunately my head is still on my body.

"Can't they make more cats?" Naruto said after he checked every part of his body was still in place. "I mean male and female... you know..."

He didn't get to finish what he was saying because Tsunade snapped.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA HOW IMPORTANT THESE SAGE CATS ARE ???!!?! AND YOU GO AROUND MAKING JOKES ABOUT THEM AS IF THEY WERE NORMAL ONES ON THE STREET?" The place seemed to be shaking. "NARUTO, ONE MORE INSULT AND YOUR HEAD WILL BE COMING OFF YOUR HEAD NEXT TIME."

"WHOA, whoa. Chill lady. You can't do that! I'm the nine ta-."

Tsunade charged forward with incredible speed and knocked Naruto backwards. Everyone looked out the second hole in the wall and saw Naruto crashing through several glass walls and finally lay limp on the ground, knocked out cold.

"Any other comments before we continue?" Tsunade inquired, still steaming.

"There goes her shit fit of the day." Someone muttered under their breath.

"WHAT WAS THAT KORTETSU?" Tsunade shot at one of her assistants.

Backing away, he answered "Umm... nothing important Tsunade-sama. My work here is done I should be..."

BANG. CRASH.

And he ended up next to Naruto, out cold.

"The Organisation has been quiet lately, and we predicted that they were planning for something and we were right. My spies tell me that they're on the move. At first we didn't know what they're plan was but after their location and direction they were heading to, we're sure they're after the legendary sage cats."

"Hm. This is a bad situation. If the Akatsuki gets their hands on the cats..." Kakashi said.

"We have to notify the villages first." Jiraiya said. "Then prepare to do whatever we can to help protect the kitties."

"I've already sent a message to the villages to keep their guard up and look out for Akatsuki." Tsunade said.

"Maybe we should also tell the sage kitties that there are people looking for them?" Sakura said.

"Yes, Nami, Jukai and Sukai have all being told." Tsunade said.

"Thats only three! What about the other one?" Sakura asked.

"The other one, is here in Konoha."

Most people in the room looked shocked. Some remained emotionless.

"Sakura, Shikamaru"

"yes" They echoed.

"Your next mission will be to explain to Natsu what has happened and warn him of Akatsuki."

"Understood." And with that they left the office. Tsunade picked up a document of some sort and started reading.

More people left, the meeting was over. Only Kakashi, Jiraiya and Tsunade was left in the room. There was silence, only to be broken by Kakashi.

"Um..." Kakashi looked beyond Tsunade with a concerned and worried face. "Tsunade-sama..."

Tsunade was in thought, and didn't look up from the paper she was holding.

Jiraiya must've seen it too. "Uh, Tsunade, theres a bir-"

"Jiraiya, give me one second."

Now the faces of the two men were of shock and fear.

There was a MASSIVE pigeon right on top of Tsunade, no one had noticed it in the meeting. It looked like it was about to...

Kakashi said his goodbye and quickly bounded out of the room, leaving Jiraiya to deal with the situation.

Jiraiya only just realised that he was stuck in a room with Tsunade, with a pigeon about to...

Jiraiya heard a soft squish sound, and the pigeon flew off, sastisfied. Tsunade felt it as well. She lifted her hand and...

"JIRAIYA, YOU LITTLE BASTARD"
