Alright, Chapter 5 is up and ready to read.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Bleach and I am in no way or form generating any profit from this, all material belong to their respective owners.

"Alright Gaara, I'm sorry. Please don't kill me!"

"Apologies don't cut it Naruto, you'll be repairing the damage you've done to the village walls."

"Okay, just put me down!"

Kankuro dreaded entering the Kazekage office but figured the information he could learn inside could be worth it.

Maybe.

It was with great resignation almost of a man going to his death that he opened the door.

The scene Kankuro walked into was chaos.

Taka was standing by the door and well away from the irate Gaara who was holding Naruto up and was trying to throttle the life out of him with said Uzumaki trapped in a packed sphere of sand.

Gaara was stronger than most people gave him credit for, what he was lifting was at least four maybe five hundred pounds of sand and Uzumaki.

"Please Gaara, don't kill me! I have a wife!"

"No you don't, you're not even dating anyone!"

"I might start after this and…wait second, how the hell do you even know about my personal life!"

"How long has Naruto been in that sphere of sand?" Kankuro asked Taka who checked the clock on the wall.

"Around twelve minutes, give or take." Taka answered as he pushed himself off the wall." He said get him out in fifteen."

He pressed his hand to a shadow on the wall and his gloved hand seemed to sink into it before dragging out a blade of shadows.

Taka walked up to the trapped Naruto and cut him out of the sand holding him after Naruto agreed to repair the damage down to Suna's defenses.

"So besides my brother trying to kill you, what do you have to report Naruto?" Kankuro asked the Uzumaki after a few moments of silence passed in the office.

"The Akatsuki is a bigger threat than I thought. One of my clones dealt with one of its newer members, Sasori of the Red Sand. The clone won in the end but only after going Bankai with one of my stronger Zanpakuto and I'm still not so sure that Sasori is dead. I already have clones looking over the site and if you would allow me, could I examine his puppets and see a sample of the poison used by them as well, Akatsuki is most likely employing it for their foot soldiers to use." Naruto answered and Gaara stapled his hands together and leaned forward at his desk.

"Who are their foot soldiers?" Gaara asked." I've thought they were simply a group of nine extremely powerful Shinobi."

"They've only recently brought this in and so far I've encountered Taki, and Ame-nin. I've had to move the Nanabi's Jinchuriki away from the village and to a village that owes me a few favors from problems I solved a few years ago." Naruto answered and Gaara cursed." But I doubt she'll be safe there for long, Akatsuki has begun conflicts between and in lands before and they've probably nearly finished the planning for something big in the place where I have her stashed."

"What of the Bloodline War in Kiri, were they behind it as well?" Gaara asked, dreading the answer.

"I don't know if it was by choice or manipulation but the Mizukage is under control by the Akstsuki and they were backing his army. I've assisted the rebels from time to time and heard they finally won maybe nine or ten months ago. I defeated the Mizukage and Sanbi Jinchuriki Yagura a few weeks before I left and helped them seal off his Chakra. It was around eighteen months ago so I wasn't as strong as I am now." Naruto answered after a moment of thought and Kankuro cursed.

"That Spy Network I set up is borderline worthless half the time, how can you being one person know thing my Spy Network doesn't even know happened?" Kankuro asked Naruto and he simply pointed to Taka.

"Ask him, he's my Spy Network, the entire thing." Naruto answered and Kankuro sighed.

"That doesn't help at all Naruto, it really is more embarrassing than anything." Kankuro told Naruto who grinned.

"It was supposed to embarrass you." Naruto answered as Kankuro seemed to gain an aura of depression around him.

"Let's get back to business, what does your agent Taka know?" Gaara spoke up and Naruto looked towards Taka who took a step forward.

"I've tracked the Akatsuki's movements and have a rough idea of what they do and how they do it. They work in two men teams and those I know of are Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, one of the most effective teams as most don't have teamwork or can even tolerate each other and they've been assigned to capture the Kyubi, they have attempted three times and failed all three times." Taka answered and Gaara cursed under his breath as he began writing something.

"What about their abilities?" Kankuro asked and Taka thought for a moment before beginning to speak again.

"Itachi Uchiha is the support member of the team, complementing the brute force style of his partner Kisame Hoshigaki with either mid to long range Ninjutsu, ANBU style close quarters Taijutsu, or suppressive Genjutsu. Kisame Hoshigaki has one of the largest Chakra Reserves in recorded history and has been called the Tailed Beast without a Tail and makes use of the Seven Swordsmen Blade named Samehada to great effect in combat and has a large number of Water Release Ninjutsu and from my own personal experience he possess massive amount of strength, endurance, and exceptional prowess in Taijutsu."

"Do you have Intel on another team? I've heard it's a large group in strength but not in numbers." Gaara asked and Taka immediately responded.

"Another team I know of is Kakuzu of Takigakure and Hidan of Yugakure and I've heard they are called the Zombie Duo because of their respective techniques. Kakuzu possesses a technique named Earth Grudge Fear, allowing him to have a maximum of five hearts and my most recent information lists him having all five Chakra Natures by it and he may have several Kekkai Genkai, he is also Akatsuki's banker and manages their money. He is primarily a bounty hunter and due to his partner he rarely brings in a bounty live." Taka answered before tossing a scroll to Kankuro who slid it into a pouch on his leg.

"That contains information on their current funds but it changes constantly so I don't know how reliable it is." Taka told the Puppeteer who nodded and reminded himself to look it over tonight.

"What else can you tell us, what about his partner?" Kankuro asked and Taka sighed and hesitated before speaking again.

"His partner, Hidan, in the barest statement I have come up with, is a psychopath who is also immortal. He follows a religion named Jashin, a cult which believes in mindless slaughter and his devotion to it has allowed him access to a technique that has made him immortal. The technique doesn't use Chakra but uses a ritual to power itself and the ritual demands that he ingest the blood of his victims and paint the symbol of Jashin in blood at his feet, once he steps into the symbol then wounds inflicted on himself transfer to his victim and vice versa but due to his immortality he is unaffected by it."

"Those two sound terrifying." Gaara commented and Taka simply nodded.

"They are, Kakuzu repertoire of techniques either matches of exceeds that of the likes of Hiruzen Sarutobi multiplied over several villages. He is a master of Ninjutsu and proficient in Taijutsu and is comparable in strength to Hoshigaki. Hidan himself is dangerous with a specially made Triple Blades Scythe, made to collect blood instead of wound severely. He has capability to use it as a weapon at any range due to swordsmanship skills and a cable attached to the weapon. He also carries a retractable spear he commonly uses to finish off his victims.

"Anything else about we should know about that bastard?" Kankuro asked as he was writing down everything Taka said." Do you have anything else on Kakuzu?"

"Very little besides their abilities, to gather that information I was nearly killed. Clones and mercenaries can only do so much before I most involve myself in gathering the information.

"Understandable, it is always best to see things yourself, written information can be misinterpreted and that misinterpretation can prove fatal for not just yourself but everyone under your command or relying on you in the Shinobi World." Gaara spoke up in agreement as Naruto nodded along with him.

"Besides those four and the two defeated today we have information on Akatsuki's spy, a creature known as Zetsu that is part plant, allowing it to enter restricted areas by traveling through the ground. A seal array Uzumaki-san has created will keep him out. Other than that I know very little of the remaining two members."

"I thought there were ten members." Gaara spoke up and Naruto nodded.

"Use to be but that bastard Orochimaru stole his ring when he fled the organization." Naruto answered.

"Why, you would think he would feel right at home with them?" Kankuro asked and Naruto smirked.

"I don't know for sure but it involved him trying to steal the Sharingan from Itachi Uchiha when he joined and Itachi took one of his hands as payment for the attempt." Naruto answered and both Gaara and Kankuro grinned.

"Serves the bastard right for what he tried to do to Suna." Kankuro told the two Shinobi." I hope he suffered."

"With it being Orochimaru we are talking about, it is highly likely he suffered for some time, he always takes large risks for large payoffs or in this case a great punishment." Taka told Kankuro before drawing a scroll out of a pouch at his back and tossed it to Gaara.

"What is this?" the Kazekage asked as a tendril of sand shot out of his open gourd and snatched the scroll out the air half a meter from Gaara

"A scroll linked to several others, with it we can transfer information easier." Naruto spoke up as he pulled out a identical one." I made them for Jinchuriki so we can stick together and for the Kage and leaders of the villages that I know are targets for Akatsuki."

"That actually brings up another point for me, I believe Sunagakure and the Land of Wind as a whole is under threat from the Akatsuki for reasons beyond you being a Jinchuriki Kazekage-sama." Taka spoke up as he stepped forward and laid three scrolls down on Gaara's desk.

"How so, I would think the danger has been averted for now with the defeat of two of their members but you are telling me there is more on the way from the Akatsuki even when they've already been defeated here, correct?" Gaara asked, completely serious at the continued threat Akatsuki was to his village.

"I'm afraid so and the main reason is that the Land of Wind is the perfect staging grounds for an invasion to the Land of Fire and Konohagakure itself to retrieve the Kyubi sealed into Uzumaki-san and destroy a village Akatsuki has deemed a nuisance." Taka spoke up as Gaara only sighed as he rubbed his temple.

"It would seem this generation has inherited the problems of the previous ones." Gaara commented as all those in the room could only nod in agreement at such words.

"Gaara, do you think we should inform the council about this?" Kankuro asked and Gaara shook his head.

"The council is annoying to me, inform only Baki, he being in charge of the village's military in my stead needs to know what to plan for. Also when Temari returns inform her, she must know of the possible problems relating to the Chunin Exams, we may need battle ready Chunin fresh out of the exams so inform her that she will be working with several veteran Jonin to assist in creating the exams." Gaara spoke up after a few moments of thought." And I will have a long rest once this meeting is over with, I am sure that I have not fully recovered from my battle with Deidara."

"Speaking of Deidara, where is the mad bomber?" Naruto asked and Gaara simply laid his head down and pointed to the floor.

"A report a few minutes ago spoke of him screaming about art being an explosion or something, I told the guards to gag all of his mouths." Gaara answered with a tired sigh." If that doesn't work I'll have him drugged and send him to Konoha with you for interrogation."

"I can get what you need." Naruto spoke up and Gaara pointed towards Kankuro.

"He's in charge of that department as well." Gaara told the Uzumaki and Kankuro simply walked out the room making a gesture to follow him.

Naruto waved off Taka as he fell in step behind him and the masked agent immediately stopped and Naruto turned to him.

"I need you to find out who Akatsuki is making their next target. I have it on good word that the Nibi Jinchuriki is training with the Gyuki Jinchuriki in a location guarded by the Raikage so I know those two are out for not but there's still four targets for those bastards. Think you can find out who's next?" Naruto asked and Taka chuckled a bit as he nodded.

"You wound me believing I can't." Taka answered before the shadows around the room seemed to crawl towards him." I can get it done if you just give me time."

The shadows surged towards him and wrapped around him as a cocoon almost before it all collapsed and Taka was gone.

"That is always weird." Kankuro muttered.

"Leave my office, I want to go to sleep." Gaara ordered as he waved his hand and his sand moved down the blinds in his office and threw the two out, literally.

"Gaara's a jerk sometimes." Naruto muttered as he pulled Kankuro to his feet.

"Hey, give my little brother a break, he's been up the past few days working nonstop, he needs some sleep." Kankuro told the Uzumaki as the two walked down to the holding cells.

They found the eight annoyed Jonin assigned to watch Deidara either plugging their ears or banging their heads on the wall.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Naruto asked a pair playing shogi.

"He. Won't. Shut. Up." a Jonin banging his head on the wall spoke up with each word accented by another bang against the wall after it." He's been talking or making some stupid noise for almost an entire hour by now."

"I thought you gagged him through?" Kankuro asked." And there's nothing in that cell either."

The sound of something hitting the wall followed.

"He still has that stupid clay, he made it into a ball or something and he keeps throwing it at the wall." another Jonin spoke up as she unplugged her ears and noticed Kankuro about to go on a rant on taking away weapons and supplies from prisoners when they spoke up first as she pointed to the cell." Those bags have seals on them keeping them stuck on him so we couldn't take them off."

"What about interrogation, where's that at?" Kankuro asked as Naruto walked away.

"He won't tell us anything, we've tried a dozen different Genjutsu and we've even tried beating him but nothing works with that guy, we had some Medical-nin come in and heal him afterwards so he wouldn't die from his wounds." a third Jonin answered as Naruto threw Deidara against the clear glass wall.

"You're not very good at this, a fight won't make me talk." Deidara called out to Naruto who slammed his head back into the glass with his foot.

"Collapse, Sakanade." Naruto whispered as he drew his Zanpakuto and twirled it in his hands.

The Zanpakuto became a normal katana with a red hilt with the guard shaped like an hourglass and a large circle, with a diameter of at least fifteen centimeters, appeared from the pommel with the first few inches of the blade covered by an extension of the cross-guard. The blade was straight and slim with the tip ending in a slanted razor-like edge instead of being tapered at a point along with five holes along the sword's length.

Naruto spun the sword by the circle and a pink mist filled the cell in moments, the source of it being the sword.

"Can you feel it, your world shattering around you before it rebuilds just to shatter again?" Naruto asked as Deidara began stumbling around but seemed to have forgotton how to walk as he collapsed to the ground, his hands shooting out the opposite way to stop himself from hitting the ground." I control your world now Deidara and it's in your best interest to tell me all you know about Akatsuki.

"Go to hell!" the former Iwa-nin snapped only to be bombarded by a burning pain.

"That is the sun growing hotter, it's burning, isn't it?" Naruto asked, his voice seemingly all around Deidara but no source.

"What the hell are you doing to me?" Deidara demanded as he curled into a ball." What the he…."

His words were cut off as he screamed again, feeling as if his entire body had been flash frozen.

"That is the wind growing colder and colder, freezing your blood." Naruto's voice spoke up as Deidara shivered uncontrollably." If you want I can heat things up."

Before Deidara could say anything he was seemingly engulfed in flames.

Deidara screamed as he rolled on the ground in agony.

"Please, I'll tell you everything!" Deidara finally screamed and Naruto smirking face as visible in the sky of whatever hell Deidara found himself trapped in." Please, just stop it!"

"Oh you will, you'll tell me anything I want to know, believe me."

Deidara felt himself consumed by darkness and only screamed louder as the void around him grew and grew, leaving him in nothing but the dark.

AN: Well that's the end of the chapter and it got a little dark there but believe me, Deidara's interrogation is too show that Naruto is someone willing to break a prisoner through mental torture to get what he wants and I want to show Naruto's darker side and what his Zanpakuto can do and since I haven't used one like Sakanade yet I decided to try it and believe me when I tell you it all just flowed out the moment I thought about it. Well read and review on what can be better in the story or what pairing you want to see or what Zanpakuto or fights you want to see, the story is heading into a custom arc after this so I'll take suggestions on what it should be about so I may not update for a day or so.

Peace.
