And here it is! The chapter featuring the three!

"Karasu…" Karasu turned to face Itami.

"Do you have a plan for this?" Itami asked. "We definitely aren't strong enough to overpower the Akatsuki, so we need a strategy. You're the most intelligent out of us. I was hoping you had come up with a plan."

Karasu remained silent for a while before replying, "I need to know how many there are and who they are." Raising her voice slightly, she called, "Shiro!"

Shiro appeared from a nearby tree. "Give us the details of the Akatsuki members," Karasu ordered.

"There are five of them. Itachi…" Karasu blinked, "…Sasori, Zetsu, Deidara…" Nendo flinched slightly, "…and someone called Tobi."

"This Tobi…wasn't mentioned in any of our files…"Karasu said slowly, "…but we know Sasori's and Zetsu's skills."

"What about Itachi's and Deidara's?" Itami asked.

Karasu shook her head. "Nendo and I haven't had our abilities show up yet. We may just have to base some of this mission on luck." She beckoned the rest of her team to a clearing, "We'll deal with the other three like this…" They bent their heads to listen to Karasu's idea.

"She really looks like Sasori-san, doesn't she?" Tobi asked his fellow Akatsuki members, oblivious to the significance of their discovery.

Deidara's mouth was working up and down, but his shock prevented him from saying anything. Sasori stared, unable to look away. Itachi seemed to be paying the surroundings more attention than Ningyou.

"We should take her to Leader-sama," White Zetsu suggested.

"Tobi can carry her," Itachi said, turning to head back to the Akatsuki hideout.

However, as Tobi scooped up Ningyou in his arms, Itachi halted. Half-turning, he said, "We've got company."

All of them whipped around to stare at a part in the trees. An orange-haired girl stepped out from the shadows. She said nothing, but merely stared back at the Akatsukis.

A long silence stretched out, broken by Tobi. "Leader-sama? Is that you? Why did you take your piercings out? And when did you turn into a girl?"

Deidara slugged Tobi. "That's not Leader-sama, you idiot! She's the copy, hmm!"

At this, the girl's face contorted slightly. "You have sharp eyes…Deidara-san."

"How do you know my name, hmm?" Deidara eyed his leader's look-alike curiously.

She didn't answer, only raised her hand. All of the Akatsuki members, with the exception of Tobi, narrowed their eyes and got into a fighting stance. They were so focused on the one in front; they didn't notice the second one behind them.

Now, Karasu. Itami tried not look past her opponents to see if Karasu was ready. She didn't need to worry.

Earth Style: Crushing Earth Dragon!

A gargantuan dragon made completely of soil and rocks rose up behind the surprised Akatsuki. Letting out a roar, it dove at Tobi. Tobi screamed and dove aside. In the midst of the confusion, Itami snatched up Ningyou and fled, Karasu right behind her. Nendo paused to throw a couple explosives which were filled with Itami's Asura Path's power as well as Nendo's own chakra-made explosive force. The smoke made the Akatsuki even more confused.

Once the smoke cleared, the first thing the five of them noticed was that Ningyou was gone, and so was the orange-haired girl.

"How could you let your guard down, Tobi?" Deidara yelled.

"Idiot…" Black Zetsu commented.

Tobi was in tears, "Tobi is sorry! Tobi was frightened by that scary dragon!"

"We need to follow them," Itachi said.

The group followed their targets' path through the trees.

Back at the house, Ningyou was woken up by Karasu. As she was apologizing for causing so much trouble, Karasu stood. All eyes followed her movements apprehensively.

"We've got company," Karasu announced.

Excellent. The Akatsuki saw a couple of the copies themselves. How come I'm not getting any reviews? The next chapter will come out after I get another review, so whether or not this story continues is up to you guys!
