In the Akatsuki Base about 3 days later, Sidra had already been keeping up with training and basic rules, she met and got to know most of the Akatsuki.
Pain came up to her one day and "Sidra, I see that you're quite the Shinobi and I want to give you your first mission."
"Okay Pain." Sidra said wanting to get on with it.
Pain gave Sidra a bounty picture "Your task is to infiltrate the Leaf Village and kidnap Hanabi Hyuga of the Hyuga clan."
Pain continued "Deidara, Sasori, Kakuzu, Hidan, and Itachi will go with you for back-up."
Sidra questioned this. "Why, I am perfectly capable of guarding myself?"
"I know, but if you are captured the leaf will clearly squeeze out of you all the information on the Akatsuki." Pain stated.
"Fine."
Sidra gave Pain a slight nod and went off.
'Let's see if she was worth bringing in.' Pain thought to himself.

In the living quarters of the Akatsuki Base.
"Ah man, I hate bounties, it's a total waste, I'm supposed to kill." Hidan said annoyed at another bounty hunt.
"Hidan, ask anyone, they know the world revolves around money." Kakuzu said to his annoyed partner.
"I couldn't care less, as long as I get to express my art." Deidara added.
"Too bad your art is not true art." Sasori debated.
Deidara said back "Well Sasori my man, we'll settle this one day."
Sasori walked off to prepare. Sidra walked in.
"Hey kid are you ready for your first mission?" Deidara asked the newest member.
"I'm more than ready, but then again aren't we all." Sidra replied thinking that was a stupid question.
Kakuzu warned Sidra, "If you cost me a bounty I won't hesitate to punish you."
Hidan laughed. "Haha, you say that to me every time Kakuzu yet you never do it."
"Big talk for someone who hides behind in immortality."
"Watch your tongue!" Hidan reacted.
"Let's go time is money." Sidra said.
"Ugh, why can't you be more like her!" Kakuzu pointed out.
"Why don't you just have her as your partner then!"
"Our leader apparently only wants you as my partner, so I'm stuck."
"Ahhhh..." Hidan said dragging himself to go on the mission.

That night, Leaf Village gates, no one was awake in the lead except for a few.
"Well now quite the village here, quite artistic, which means it's worth destroying." Deidara said readying his bombs.
Sidra knocks Deidara's bombs out of his hands and into the bushes "We are here in stealth, not to destroy, you shouldn't use those bombs of yours." Sidra said. Sidra though she was new she acted as a leader.
Deidara clenches, but then cools himself, think it's no big deal. 'Why you, whatever it's only one art over many.'
Sidra warps herself to the Hyuga complex gates, she peeks through the doors and sees 2 figures there.
"Our turn." Deidara says and the rest of the Akatsuki jumps along the roofs making no sound so that no one will ever suspect a thing, if they were coming or not was unknown.
Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga battled their focused palm chakra clashing with the other's it was only training "You need to be more aggressive Hinata, even if it means hurting me, you need to fight as if your life depended on it."
"Okay brother." Hinata responded.
Sidra gets angry 'They're training even this late at night.'
Sidra was about to ambush them, but a figure on the roof suddenly swooped in a tackled Hinata to the ground.
Neji immediately reacted and threw the figure off Hinata and then helped his cousin back up.
"Well now what's 2 ninja doing up at this hour?" Hidan laughed.
'Idiot, why would he do this.' Sidra thought to herself still looking through the gates.
Kakuzu, Deidara, Sasori and Itachi stood on the roof of the complex they all aimed their weapons at the 2 Hyuga, the Akatsuki cloak flowed in the wind.
'Now's my chance.' Sidra used this as the chance to warp below the ground and she went around the complex interior looking for Hanabi Hyuga.
Neji stood in combat position, Hinata stood at his back in the same position ready to attack or defend. Hidan just laughed insanely.
"What makes you think you 2 can take on all 6 of us?"
'6, I only count 5.' Neji thought to himself. 'One might be hidden from us.'
Hidan charges at Neji and Hinata, they both jump and dodge the scythe as it cut the air like a jet wing. Neji lands and hits Hidan in the chest sending him flying back, though Hidan gets back up and wipes the dust from his cloak, then goes back on the attack.
Kakuzu, Itachi, Sasori and Deidara all jumped into the battle they had Neji and Hinata on the defensive stance, the 2 Hyuga just couldn't take on 5 Akatsuki members.
Hidan and Kakuzu began to fight Neji, Hidan's scythe swung all over the court making Neji use his Byakugan to the fullest in order to dodge all the attacks, though Hidan was really just aiming to get some of Neji's blood for his ritual jutsu.
Kakuzu launches his 2 hands at Neji making there be 2 more things for Neji to dodge, Neji had 2 very close calls with the scythe as he ducked and the scythe slashed off just one hair, but next it could be his head.
'Okay I need to get round those long range attacks.' Neji thought to himself as he continued to dodge the scythe and 2 arms.
Hidan throws his scythe at Neji with all his strength, hitting would slice Neji's limbs off, "Rotation!" Neji rotated his arms and the scythe was repelled from hitting him, instead it was repelled directly at Kakuzu.
Kakuzu dodged the scythe easily with a slight sidestep, he looks back at the scythe that almost hit him, he was angered by this.
"You fool, watch where you throw that thing!" Kakuzu said mad at Hidan.
Hidan jumped and continued his onslaught of slashes on Neji and wasn't going to listen "Oh you want me to stop throwing randomly, well I don't see a reason to care!" Hidan snapped back.
Hidan on the offense actually swinging his scythe at Neji with quick and decisive blows the attacks ripped the wind like air cutters. Neji jumped over one attack and then landed in front of Hidan readying his next attack.
Neji called out his attack "Eight-Trigrams 2 Palms!"
"4 Palms!"
"8 Palms!"
"16 Palms!"
"32 Palms!"
"64 Palms!"
Neji landed 64 direct hits at Hidan closing his chakra points and rendering him unable to move, Neji's land palm sends Hidan flying backwards and onto the ground, Hidan tightened his eyes and growls. "Grrrr."
Kakuzu took advantage of this and fired a punch with his 2 arms on tentacles, they were like bullets however it was only to have Neji dodge and for the punch to hit Hidan.
"You idiot, Kakuzu watch out!" Hidan yelled back to his partner.
"You're immortal besides you don't watch a thing so neither will I." Kakuzu debated back.
Sasori came down from the roof and through off his cloak revealing several blades dripping poison. Hinata looks at what seems to be a deadly opponent.
Hinata was having a hard time, Sasori was attacking with the 6 blades on his back, they were smeared with poison, she had to use all her techniques to make sure those didn't cut her skin or else it would be game over for sure.
Sasori's blades slashed aboved Hinata making her duck to dodge, then the blades went above making her jump to avoid the blade, Sasori keeps up his pattern getting Hinata on the defensive.
Deidara and Itachi chose to simply stand and watch, Itachi observed the 2 Hyuga's techniques while Deidara couldn't attack without waking up everyone in the area with his explosions.
Hinata retreated back as Sasori then fired his long cable from his stomach. The attack just barely missed cutting Hinata, Hinata grabbed hold of the cable and pulled it.
"Eight-Trigrams Defense 64 Palms!" Hinata rotated her palms as Neji did with his rotation, the attack repelled Sasori and Sasori was being pulled by Hinata by the cable, the cable was ripped forcefully into 2 pieces rendering it useless.
"Why you, I have to replace that!" Sasori yells at Hinata who ended her rotation.
Hinata unleashed a barrage of shuriken at Sasori, but Sasori avoided it by jumping high into the sky. Sasori dives down with his foot landing a down kick at Hinata. Hinata put up her palm in defense and stopped most of the force of Sasori's kick, despite that she was flung back. Sasori took out a scroll from his belt and a large smoke ball emerged. the 3rd Kazekage puppet came out, and Sasori opened up its blades, the dripped with the fire water Sidra gave him.
The puppet went directly at Hinata, the puppet slashed it's blades at Hinata, making her jump and duck to avoid them, she couldn't catch them with her palms the blades were too sharp and overheated. The puppet strikes the ground making Hinata fall over in the tremble. The puppet strikes Hinata who rolls over on the ground and back up to avoid the inferno blade. Puppet came again and slashes horizontally, Hinata jumps over the puppet, but the puppet got a shred of her coat and it burned instantly. Hinata looked at her coat slice instantly turned to ashes and tightens up her focus.
Hinata could do nothing but dodge the attacks it was too risky to try and attack a puppet with no chakra points and contained burned blades.
XXXXXX
Inside the Hyuga Mansion.
Sidra creeps around the halls using her chakra to eliminate any sounds she might make, she soon came across the small room with Hanabi sleeping quietly and soundly.
'So this girl is the heir to the Hyuga, and yet worth so much at a young age.' Sidra thought to herself.
Sidra warps herself and Hanabi into the courtyard using her Kamui ability.
XXXXXX
In the courtyard, Neji got scorched by a flame jutsu by Kakuzu, Hinata was wounded by a fireball jutsu from Itachi wounded by the Akatsuki members that had them cornered and surrounded, the 2 Hyuga stood back to back seeing that they both might be killed at the hands of the Akatsuki.
"I call the girl for my ritual!" Hidan said with a very happy yet menacing voice. Hidan was back on his feet as the Chakra points block wore off.
"I will sell the other I guess." Kakuzu said about Neji.
Sidra and Hanabi warped into the courtyard, it caught the attention of all of them.
"Hanabi!" Neji and Hinata both said in unison.
Hanabi was still sleeping soundly and was not aware of where she was or the danger she was in.
Sidra took out her Kunai and was ready to kill, in the case Hanabi woke up and resisted.
Neji and Hinata acted quick.
"Eight-Trigrams Air Palm!" Neji shouted as the attack went right to Sidra, however the attack went right through her body thanks to the Kamui technique. The attack then crashed into the wall with an explosion, it made all the Akatsuki look over as a distraction.
Hinata uses this opportunity to throw 2 shuriken one at Sidra the other right before Hanabi.
The first shuriken passes right through Sidra the other lands directly in front of Hanabi enough to make her spring her eyes wide open.
Hanabi instantly wakes up and jumped away from Sidra, but Kakuzu went after her and unleashed multiple tentacles from his body and restrained Hanabi grabbing her arms and legs along with her neck.
"Sister!" Hinata jumped above the other Akatsuki members stepping on Sasori's face and rushed to help Hanabi.
"Fireball Jutsu." Sidra said taking action.
Sidra took action and blasted Hinata with a fireball and made her fall face down on the court just before she could make it. Sidra jumped high and like a falling boulder slams down on Hinata with a spinning attack similar to Itachi's technique. The attack makes Hinata spit a small amount of blood, although it was enough to completely render her unable to fight back.
Sidra held a Kunai to Hinata's neck just barely touching skin and starting to cut in.
Hidan went over to Kakuzu and held his scythe to Hanabi's neck ready to slash at any moment. Neji tried to stop Hidan before he reached Hanabi, but Sasori and Itachi didn't let him easily.
"If you make a sudden move, they both die." Deidara said.
Neji was in total paralysis, his 2 closest siblings could be killed at any moment.
'Why you bastard, release them!" Neji demanded.
"No, I don't let a cash cow get away." Kakuzu said while his tentacles squeezes tighter.
Hanabi struggled to breathe as she was suffocated by Kakuzu's tentacles. "Help cousin Neji." Neji was completely anger now.
"Neji, don't worry about us!" Hinata said desperate.
Sidra cut a little more into her neck, slight blood came out. Hinata felt like screaming at the top of her lungs, but she couldn't if she wanted to live.
"Grr.. What do you want?!" Neji said in anger and despair.
Sidra responded. "We want Hanabi for the bounty she has on her head."
"If I give you the money the Hyuga has will you let Hinata and Hanabi go?" Neji said looking desperate to make sure Hinata and Hanabi were safe.
"We might, get us the money first." Kakuzu said, only caring about money once again.
Neji went into the mansion to the Hyuga vault and took out all the money there was 100 million ryo, Neji brought it out hating the entire idea, but it was worth the money to save his 2 cousins. Neji first brought out 10 million ryo, it wasn't enough for Kakuzu, so he restrained Hanabi further.
"NEJI!" She shrieked at this point.
"Sister!" Hinata wanted to help, but she couldn't move under the kunai to her neck.
Sidra dug in slightly more, it was only 1 mm, but it was enough to make Hinata's eyes bulge and shake in fear.
Neji brought out another 30 Million. "More now." Kakuzu wanted as much as he could get. "Or." Kakuzu's mask went out and fire started burning from it, Neji knew what was going to go down next so he went back in.
Neji brought out the money the rest of it. Itachi and Deidara scanned the money to make sure there was no counterfeits or substitutions. Kakuzu was satisfied with almost 3 times the money he would have made off Hanabi. Kakuzu let Hanabi go from her suffocation state. Hanabi fell to the ground now unconscious.
Sidra let Hinata off her pin. Hinata instantly fainted, and hit the ground hard, Neji went to Hanabi's aid first and Hinata looked only at him thinking. 'Neji why her first?' Blood dripped from her cut, it wasn't much, but it was blood.
Sidra was satisfied at her first mission. "Neji you are not to talk about this to anyone, as for the money you are to say someone from the hidden cloud stole it." I'm not all about hurting the innocent so I think you deserve this, Sidra goes over to Hinata and takes out a patch it was like a bandage, but it glowed with blue energy.
"Stop!" Neji tries to rush over, but Itachi got in the way, and Itachi's glare was like a stone wall it stopped Neji in his tracks.
Sidra puts the patch on Hinata's wound in an instant Hinata felt her chakra returning and the wound was healed.
"oh." Hinata was both relieved and in shock, the Akatsuki just helped her, it was crazy.
"But why?" Hinata asks quietly.
"Let's just say I see something in you, something pure and kind, a light spirit, like a beautiful flower." Sidra responds.
Hinata's thoughts were racing, first the girl in the Akatsuki almost kills her, then she heals her completely was if they were friends.
"We shall meet again." Sidra says, while Kakuzu gathers up all the money Neji brought outside.
"A pleasure doing business" Kakuzu said before all 6 Akatsuki members disappeared in smoke.
Neji instantly went over to Hinata and got her and Hanabi inside for medical treatment, Hanabi woke up hours later and Hinata's wound healed fully in a matter of minutes that's to the medicine Sidra gave, but Neji couldn't get the thought of what could have happened otherwise.
"I will have my revenge on you, whoever you are!" Neji yelled in the night.

On the route back to Akatsuki Base
"Why did you save that kid Sidra?" Hidan asks.
"There's something I want, and she might be something I need." Sidra says back.
Neji is mad now, can't blame him.
