I know this took forever to come out but I couldn't get in the writing mood. I didn't have the next chapter planned in my head so I couldn't write it. But now I'm back in the mood. Let's hope updates are faster from now on. My apologies again. D: Happy reading peeps.
"You want me to go and capture you this cat?" Sasuke said, dumbfounded. "Why can't he---pointing at the four eyes.—do it?"
Kabuto death stared at him, unable to do anything. Orochimaru-sama wouldn't be happy...
"Not just any cat Sasuke-kun." The snake Sanin said. "It's the sage cat. There are four left and my spies have told me the exact location of one...but on the other hand, we only need one..."
"Piece. Of. Cake." Sasuke said as he turned to go.
"Wait, but you haven't—" Kabuto started but Orochimaru stopped him.
"Let him go." He said after Sasuke left. "And let him figure it out himself."
Sasuke walked out into the sunlight and appreciated breathing air. After being stuck in an underground hell hole, anyone would appreciate the landscape and the sun.
He wasn't especially interested in this mission. First of all, he undervalued his opponent. It was damaging to his dignity. Sending someone strong like him to get some cat. Second, it was in Konoha. If he wasn't careful, he'd run into annoying leaf brats that would slow down his process...
But of course, there was a chance he might meet the ninetails, whom he itched to pick a fight with. But that's just a rare bonus. It all depended on his luck.

"What do you want?" the booming voice rang through the hole.
Sakura and Shikamaru exchanged nervous glances and finally Sakura answered.
"Um... We are here on orders of Tsunade-sama to, uh...inform you of something... Natsu-sama." Sakura said cautiously, trying to be as polite as possible.
A dark figure appeared at the bottom of the hole and Shikamaru could sense a pair of eyes on him.
"Then what are you waiting for?" A much softer, sweeter and feminine voice came out from the hole. "Come on down."
Sakura and Shikamaru didn't know what to do. Was this some kind of trick?
After much consideration, Shikamaru sighed and said to Sakura "What are our chances? We take the risk and be prepared to fight."
Sakura nodded and they jumped.

Hidan lay in the symbol he drew on the ground, with a sword sticking out of his heart. Kakuzu sat close by, inspecting his dagger.
"I hate you, did I ever tell you that?" Kakuzu said to the sky.
"Yes, yes. That's the fifth time this hour." Hidan said, smiling to himself. "I love you too."
Kakuzu was annoyed. He was stuck with a slow poke asshole. The pair was always the last to complete their missions.
"Sometimes I just want to kill you..."
"But you can't." Hidan finished and laughed at himself.
Kakuzu sighed and shook his head. At least he had sometime of peace... And Hidan started singing.

Itachi and Kisame sat in a tea cafe, staring at the splashing rain outside. They'd decided to stop for a while and wait the rain out before continuing. They weren't in any particular rush.
"Hm. This is a good idea after all, Itachi-san." Kisame said, sipping some warm tea.
The waitress came over with a menu, smiled and introduced their lunch special.
"Since our store is located near the ocean, we have lots of sea food and our chefs have a speciality in cooking fish.
Shit. Itachi thought. He remembered last time Kisame had fish.
A big Shark-man ran around killing everyone in sight. If it wasn't for Itachi's mangekyou sharingan, who knows what would've happened...
Kisame seemed to enjoy himself, looking at the menu excitedly.
"hm... Everything looks delicious here. Itachi-san, what do you want?"
"Uh..." Itachi had to turn Kisame's attention off fish dishes. "What's today's special?" He attempted.
"Shark fin soup!" The girl sang.
"I'll have that! Thanks Itachi-san."
I should have known... Itachi thought.

BANG.
BANG. BANG.
Explosions ran out through the forest.
"Your aim is shocking." Sasori sighed.
"Hn. I don't need to be exact." Deidara said as he concentrated and produced a mass of clay.
He was pursuing some shinobis patrolling the radius of the Lightning village. He was just playing with them. Without effort, he took one out. His clay birds flew next to the shinobis and exploded just like that. One of them avoided the explosions, but was injured. As his teammates distracted the blonde, he ran the other way, to the village to inform them of an attack.
He had gone quite a way, thinking he had lost the attackers; only to be stopped by Sasori, whose tail went through the center of his heart.
"That's what I call accuracy."
"Yes Sasori-sama." Deidara smirked.

Shikamaru and Sakura fell.
Suddenly they were stopped by the hard ground underneath. As they regained their balance, a small figure stood a few feet infront of them.
"Move into the light. I can't see in the dark." It said. It was the voice of a little girl.
The pair did as they're told. They stepped into the light and—
"What the?"
"Holy-"
In front of them stood a small cat, with beautiful long white fur.
"Hi I'm Natsu."
More Akatsuki or leaf shinobis in action?
Does anyone want Tobi to be part of it?
TELL ME?
:D
