Chapter Eight
I stand there with my hands on my hips. I make sure to keep my eyes up. This mission gets weirder and weirder by the day! First the Naruto and Gaara thing from last night and now this! What next is going to happen?
Then, finally after what seems like forever, I get an answer to my last question.
"I'll eat your mother." Zetsu says and I look at him.
"You'll eat my mother if I refuse to come with you?" I ask and he nods.
"To bad for you since she's already dead!" I reply with a grin.
"Then I'll eat your father." He suggests more then threatens.
"He died a few years back."
"I'll eat…ah…your sensei."
"You wouldn't want to do that." I warn him and he asks, "And why not?!"
"Because he still hasn't got a rabies shot." I answer and Zetsu's face twists into a look of disgust.
"Then I will eat Lady Hokage Tsunade." He growls out.
"For one, she will blast a hole into your chest. For two, just Hokage or Lady Tsunade will work. I would avoid calling her a hag as well." I tell him and he seems to draw into himself to argue this over.
"Well, how about we kill Gaara again?" Sasori offers and I roll my eyes as I say, "If we could bring him back once then we can do it again."
The Puppet Master lowers his eyes.
"I'll kill you." Hidan puts in and Naruto replies, "Like you could kill Sakura. You say what she did to the immortal freak."
"We will kidnap the Kyuubi." Kakuzu puts in.
"And he will talk you to death." Sai says.
"We will cut his tongue out!" Kisame declares.
"And the Kyuubi will grow it back." Gaara snorts out as he folds his arms across his chest.
"We could say please." Tobi suggests to his group and they all turn to look at him with intense, fire-freezing, glares.
"And we would say no." Kankuro answers.
"This is getting us fucking nowhere." Hidan growls out as he throws his arms up into the air.
"I had a team consisting of the most immature, annoying, people possible. One had the 'duckass' haircut and the other would cry out 'Believe it' every few minutes. Then I had a sensei that would, and still does, read porn. I don't think anything you can say will change my decision." I tell them and they look at the people standing behind me.
"That's harsh, Sakura-chan." Naruto says softly and I roll my eyes.
"I can add to this list if you want. I'll add anyway. To continue…
"Sasuke went with the pedophile snake-bastard, he tried to kill Naruto and me, he betrayed the village before that, knocked me out and put me on a bench, tries to escape us, doesn't realize that the best things he has, or ever will have, is in Konoha!!! How much do I need to yell at you for you to understand that I have had a life in HELL!!!" I roar and I slam my fist against the innocent wall next to me, which in the ripple effect, shatters.
"I'll make a deal with you then." Itachi says and I turn my attention to him to say, "You better make this good, or I will castrate you."
The others, even in my group, cover the precious area. Itachi just turns to the side slightly and I glare at him. He then says, "If you come without a fight, on your own, then we will not attack Uzumaki-kun."
I stop to look at him with a slight frown on my face. I cross my arms over my chest with a huff. Okay, that is a good reason, one point for them and a never-ending list for me.
The Akatsuki watch her with intense gazes. They all know what her decision will. She values the boy more then anything else in the world.
Deidara's tail wags from side to side. The others are calmer, their tails moving none, and their ears twitch. They all wait for the answer they will receive.
"Sakura, they are outnumber. Let alone are they naked. They'll have to guard themselves against us, the villagers, and from being…castrated…by you." Kakashi and Gaara seem to say this at the very same time.
"No, it's not a risk that is worth taking. These are S-Ranked ninja, each skilled more then we are. If only it was two or three then we would stand a chance against them, but eight is a different story." Sakura says slowly while choosing her words carefully.
"Sakura, they may-" Temari starts, but Sakura interrupts her to snap out, "I already have thought of that!"
The girl with pink hair turns to look at the eight men standing before her. They all have smug looks on their faces. Sakura then turns to look at her group.
Finally, calmly, she straightens her posture. She meets Itachi in the eyes. She then says, "I only accept if you agree to three things."
"State your orders." Zetsu snarls out.
I watch them carefully. I planned this all out from point one. I knew that he would, as in Itachi, offer not hurting Naruto if I came quietly.
"My three demands are simple. One, you will not hurt Naruto, anyone from Konoha or Suna. Two, you will allow me to see an old woman here who has information to tell me about my family. Three, you will not try, and I mean all of you, to force me into any situation that I feel uncomfortable with. Am I clear?!"
I watch as all the Akatsuki seem to look at each other before he answers, "It's a deal."
"Then shake on it." I say as I extend my hand out to him.
He reaches across the area and grips my hand in his. We shake and then he pulls away. I look at my group and I give a curt nod to Kakashi who also nods with a ghost of a smile on his face.
