"So that means the two of you are related ewwww incest yeah."
"No you baka the Rinnegan isn't passed down through blood, the gods choose a child every century to hold the Rinnegan." Sasori explained from his partner's side.
"How could something like this have been kept so secretly from us?" Madara asked from his desk
"Because they kept the books hidden securely; not to mention that only a person of blood can open them." Pein stated
"Anything else you found out?" Madara asked
"Actually, one of the very first head members wrote about how the Haruno kekki genkai works." Sakura said
"Why would they write about that?" Konan asked from Madara's side
"Because there just happens to be some side effects to the Hai Saisei." Itachi replied
"So that's what they call it." Kakazu stated
"Hai." Sakura said
"What do you mean by side effects?" Sasori asked eyes focused intensely on Sakuras form.
"Hai Saisei as it is called was long ago known for the fact that anyone who carried the kekki genkai was known to be youthful looking. Basically what I'm trying to say is that when this kekki genkai is used on someone that person no longer ages neither on the outside nor on the inside." Sakura explained
"So their forever young looking." Madara asked
"Hai not only do they become immortals, people who have been subjected to the kekki genkai are forever young and live as immortals, but they die just as easily as mortals do. Furthermore when subjected to this the user and the soul to the victim become bound. If the user were to die, the person that was subjected to the kekki genkai will die as well just not as gruesome, it would be more like a heart attack." Sakura continued
"So what you're saying is that all though we are immortal we can still die just as easily as a mortal? But what happens if we have kekki genkai's as well that keeps us alive ?" Kakazu asked
"Then I would think that death would come to you the same way as before." Itachi retorted
"So what you're saying is that if you die then we die?" Sasori asked
"Hai." Sakura replied
"And that were immortals now, and we'll never age yeah?" Deidara asked
"Hai." Sakura answered again
"Awesome yeah."
Sakura sighed; Diedara still didn't understand what that would mean. A life where you would have to watch all your loved ones die, the years pass and any friends you made die as well. A life like that was something nobody should ever want to live or have to.
'If you ask me it's just a curse, a gift is something that you and all your friends can enjoy.' Sakura thought.
'Yeah but hey, does this mean we'll live longer than Pein-kun?' Naka asked
'No if Pein finds out how to tap into all of the Rinnegan without having it consume him then he'll become immortal as well.' Sakura replied to her green haired opposite
'Huh ohhhhhhh you're keeping a secret from Pein, ohhhhh your gonna be in trouble when he finds out.' Naka teased
'Your me so you better keep your mouth shut, beside he never asked me so it doesn't mean I'm keeping something from him.' Sakura pointed out
'Ohhhhh that is so kawaii you're starting to think like Pein-kun'
'Urasai.'
Sakura looked around the circular room to find that all of the projections of everyone had left Sakura, Pein, & Madara were the only ones in the room.
"Something bothering you Sakura?" Madara asked in a fatherly voice
"No I was just thinking about how I'll now have to be really cautious when I'm on missions since you probably don't want your men to die once again." Sakura said.
Madara smirked at her clever answer. He knew she was planning something for the Kyubi jinchurriki but he didn't know what not to mention she was zoning out during the meeting indicating she was thinking hard about something.
"We'll at least after all this is over, Akatsuki will forever rein over the world for all generations to come." Madara said
"Especially now that we know what the easy way is to becoming immortals…………So have you found the ring yet?" he continued
"Hai, Uchiha Sasuke has taken it, it is now being worn by the future bride." Pein stated
"Hm…………….Sakura I hope you & Itachi know how to act, since we'll have to come up with a way to get that ring, she can't have it, we can't afford Sasuke to become the head of the Uchiha clan." Madara said
"So what do you need me to do?" Sakura asked
The day of the wedding has come…………..
Sasuke stood inside his old bedroom. The wedding was going to be in the Uchiha manor in his mother's garden. He should have been happy; he'd been working so hard for this day to come, he'd trained so hard for this, and yet he wasn't. The door slide open and his golden haired friend stepped in, with his lazy mentor.
"Teme it's almost time." Naruto said his voice was a mixture of happiness, and sincerity.
"Well now that I've seen that you're ready I'll leave the two of you alone while I check on the bride." The lazy nin said as he walked out the room sliding the shoji screen shut.
"Sasuke you don't seem to happy." Naruto said as he moved to sit on the bed
"I am, this is what I've been working towards since I can remember this and avenging my clan. But since Itachi has been keeping a low profile, it's hard to take revenge on what he did to me."
"Sasuke ………… you shouldn't care whether he is alive or not, he lives a shity life, he's an S-class criminal woman don't want to be with him because their too afraid of getting their heads chopped off, same goes for men, it would be hard for someone to even befriend him. Besides you have something he probably yearns for." Naruto exclaimed
"Yeah and what's that?"
"People who love you and care about you."
Sasuke turned to face his brother like friend. Naruto was right he did have something that Itachi didn't, something many outcast wanted, precious people, who cared about him no matter what.
"Finally something useful comes out of your big mouth." Sasuke said as a smirk formed on his lips.
"Teme……" Naruto growled out.
"Pein when are the others com-ing" Sakura stopped in her tracks as she walked into the room to find her boyfriend in a light gold colored feudal lord outfit
"Wow." Sakura said
"This is the only time you'll ever see me like this so enjoy it if you like. I know I won't." Pein said the last part under his breath.
"Wait don't tell me you're going to the wedding to"
"Madara wants us there."
"Oh well have fun then."
"You're not going?"
"Why should I? If I go people will think I've gone to steal the groom away, if I keep my distance with those people then maybe everyone will realize that I want nothing to do with them." Sakura explained
"But if you go and people see that you haven't gone to kidnap the groom everyone will realize that you indeed don't care for him."
"If I don't care for him then why would I go?"
"Just think about going, I do want to see the kimono Deidara made you."
"Fine I'll think about it."
"Now, I need to find that damn ring."
Sakura lifted a brow "What ring?"
"Well Jiriaya made a stop in Ame when he was on his way to Oto, after some convincing he finally gave us the ingredients in making the metal, and then we made a few upgrades to the original idea." Pein answered
"You copied my ankle bracelet!"
"We made it better." Pein exclaimed
"But still you stole my idea."
"It's your own fault for allowing us to find out about it."
"You're unbelievable!"
"Found it." Pein said as he pulled out a metal ring out of the confines of his Akatsuki cloak, Slipping it on to the middle finger of his right hand.
A cloud of smoke covered his appearance, as soon as it dissipated, he looked up to look at Sakura.
"Dear Kami-sama, I must be seeing things." Sakura said as she looked at Peins henj.
Golden Blonde bed head hair, tanned skin, piercingless , the dark circles around his eyes was gone showing perfect bright blue symmetrical eyes. He looked like an older Naruto, and that was scary.
"You are gonna have everyone's attention with this henj." Sakura said as she left the room.
Naruto and Sasuke walked down to the aisle together, everyone watched the two with curiosity, and both boys in black and red suits, Sasuke had the Uchiha clan fan write in the middle of his jacket for all to see.
Guest were still coming in little by little everyone was coming. Only the people from their genin days did the boys recognize, the other people were politicians, or from other countries. Wanting to be a part of the Uchiha wedding.
"Jeez how many people did Baa-chan invite?" Naruto asked as he took his place next to Sasuke.
"You are asking the wrong person." Sasuke replied
Tsunade appeared next to the two boys, with Shizune behind her. Dressed in the Hokage robe, Tsunade appeared to be extremely moody at the moment
"Uchiha I'm gonna do the quick version of this thing, since I want to head to the reception soon." Tsunade said as she threw the book of the stand on the altar.
"Now where is that apprentice of mi- Oh Kami-sama!" Tsunade said as her eyes widened.
Naruto and Sasuke turned towards the people coming in and saw something that was quite a shock to both of them.
"D-d-d-dad?" Naruto whispered/stuttered
"That's impossible, he's dead!" Tsunade said loud enough for only the four of them to hear.
"Tsunade-sama that can't be Minato-san that man is wearing feudal lord robes, perhaps he is the feudal lord from Yukigakure he is the only one we haven't actually seen out of all the feudal lords."
"Yes perhaps we'll see when this thing is over."
Everything got quiet as soon as they heard the wedding song start. All eyes focused to the end of the long white carpet, Hinata came out in a dark strapless dress that covered only to the middle of her calves and was very tight fighting. White roses were in her small bouquet. Then finally the Bride appeared in a very unique dress than had white and pink layered ruffles that started at the waist and went down in a puffed out form that was floor length, her hair was in a tight bun with a pink feather sticking out, and a pink feathery like choker around her neck.
"Sakura-chan was chosen over that thing yeah!" Deidara whispered to Sasori although, neither of the artist look like themselves. Deiadara's hair was in a long blue ponytail with deep black eyes, while his partner was disguised with sort messy brown hair with light blue eyes. Both were in white and black suites as were the rest of the men, other than Pein.
"It seems as though he doesn't have any taste in women, unlike his brother and the jinchurriki." Sasori whispered back
"Obviously yeah."
Sakura laid in her parents bed, her head was at the edge of the bed hair, flowing over it, facing the ceiling. She laid their trapped in her thoughts.
'Dammit Kura you have to go I wan0t to blow them all away with our dress!' Naka said/yelled
'No, I don't want everyone watching just because they think I'm still in love with that ass.' Sakura replied
'Who cares if they think that, at least we know the truth, it doesn't matter if they do or don't.'
'But still everyone's gonna be on their guard thinking I'm gonna try to either kill the bride or kidnap the groom.'
'So prove them wrong, put a smile on and muster up all the sincere and honest look you can and wish them a happy life.'
'But everyone will know it's a total lie.'
'Kura you're a kunoichi remember acting is what you're taught to do, you haven't done it because you haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but trust me I know you can do it, you've done almost everything else, but act & seduce, and so far you have passed all others, this is us we can do anything. For Christ sakes her dating the leader of Akatsuki! " Naka yelled
'But what if I slip somewhere?'
'You won't I guarantee everything will go smoothly.'
Sakura got off the bed; walking over to the closet she slide it open pulling out a box with the dress Deidara made for her.
The ceremony had ended finally and everyone was at the reception drinking and talking.
"Teme I thought you said you were gonna put some ramen out for me!" Naruto whined as he sat next to his best friend
"I did you must have not made it fast enough, you're not the only one who likes ramen dobe." Sasuke said
Sasuke looked around the ballroom he rented Karin was going around talking to all the guest and thanking them.
'Sakura isn't here.' Sasuke though as he looked in the crowd for the pink haired girl.
"Sasuke you can't blame her, she was head over heels in love with you, and everything she did was for you in some way. She won't get over you that fast." Kakashi said as he walked over to the two
"How'd you know?" Sasuke asked
"You were looking around with a dazed look, it was only obvious." Kakashi replied
"Sasuke-kun!" A voiced screeched before the groom was glomped by white and pink.
"Karin calm down." Sasuke said calmly
"How can I be calm it's our wedding day, and now I'm an Uchiha just like you wanted me to be, why are you standing around looking all broody you should be happy." Karin said as she sat down
Someone cleared there throat , saving Sasuke from explaining anything. He turned around to face the feudal lord that was a replica of the Yondaime.
"Uchiha-san, I'd like to congratulate you on your marriage." The man older man said as he held out his hand to shake.
Sasuke stood up and shook the man's hand, as his eyes bleed to red, scanning the man to see if he ever used any chakra. He was pleased to see that there wasn't and the man was not a shinobi.
"Arigato, but you still haven't said who you are, but I can tell you're a feudal lord by your robes." Sasuke said as he allowed his eyes to go back to normal color.
"Ah you're right Sakata Daiki, I'm one of the feudal lords from Yukigakure."
"I Thought That Yukigakure had a princess?" Naruto asked as he stood up next to Sasuke.
"Uzumaki shut it!" Tsunade said in a voice that made Naruto sit back down immediately.
A soft chuckle was heard from Daiki/Pein,
"The hime only rules over so much of Yuki, the rest is mine and another's." Daiki explained
"I'm sorry but I have to say this, you look exactly like the Yondaime Hokage Namikaze Minato, and it's really creepy." Kakashi said before he got hit on the head by Tsunade
"Yes I know and it's the main reason why no one's ever seen me, well at least until now that his." Daiki said
"Oh Kami-sama I think I'm in heaven."
"Who would've thought she looked that good underneath those big clothes.
"What the hell is wrong with that Uchiha, I don't think I would ever choose Karin over her."
"She's a goddess."
"She gorgeous."
"Uchiha-san is a dumbass."
Sasuke lifted a brow at what he heard, men were crowded around the doors to the ballroom. Everyone at the table were looking at the crowd of men with curiosity. The crowd only got bigger and longer as people wanted to see the so called goddess.
Jaws dropped after the crowed of people went back to their seats to watch the gorgeous woman from their tables. A green Kimono with light green pinstripes, the shoulders fell off and showed some cleavage, and flawless tanned skin. Cherry colored tresses were crimped, only lip-gloss and light blush were the only cosmetics noticeable
Deidara moved to stand next to a smirking Pein to see if he was in trouble for his newest masterpiece
"When we get back to Ame remind me to give you a bonus." Pein whispered
"Gomen nasai , I would've come earlier but I got caught up on some scrolls." Sakura said as she did a quick bow to Tsunade
"S-s-s-s-a-kur-ra y-you look am-a-z-zing" Naruto stuttered out
Sasuke quickly recomposed himself.
"Sakura I wasn't expecting you to come." Sasuke said
"Me either but I think it's gonna be a while before I ever need to get dressed up like this, and I didn't want the only dress I had to go to waste."
"………"
"And I also came to wish the two of you a happy life." Sakura said
Sasuke stared into her eyes, the sheer sincerity, and honesty was shinning bright in her emerald eyes.
'I really made a fools mistake this time' Sasuke thought as he watched Sakura turn and walk away.
"Yes you did." Naruto said as he turned to face Sasuke
Two hours later……….
Sakura sat at Anko's table listening to Yamato and her dear friend fight about their future wedding.
The sun was setting. The table got quite everyone's eyes were on something behind her. She tuned to find Daiki/Pein behind her.
"Haruno-san I was wondering if you would like a dance?" he asked
"Sure." Sakura said as she got out of her seat. Pein took her hand and led her to the dance floor. A slow song with a lullaby beat begun. Peins long fingers clutched atly into her material as he grabbed her waist while the other stayed in her hand, & she placed her hand on his shoulder. And with that they began their slow dance.
"I thought you didn't like dancing in public." Sakura said
"Perhaps I should rephrase that. 'I won't dance in the rain' " Pein said as a small smirk appeared on his face.
"I think I'm gonna have Deidara make more dresses for you, for when your with me." He continued.
"I bet you will."
With Naruto & Sasuke…….
"Sasuke look." Naruto said as he nudged his friend in the side
"What I'm busy."
"That feudal lord from Yukigakure is dancing with Sakura."
Sasuke turned away from the elders and quickly looked to what Naruto was talking about. A crowd of people watched as the two danced.
"Dear Kami-sama their making love on the dance floor." Tsunade said as she took another swig of sake
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked
"When people dance they usually tell a story with their moves. They way they are dancing is sensuous, erotic, & gentle, they're in sync with each other, which some say is what love making is described as. Men that have such grace on the dance floor are usually the ones that get all the girls." Tsunade said as she watched the two secret lovers dance.
"Sakura won't fall for him he has to be old to be a feudal lord." Naruto said
"Naruto not all lords are old. Besides this lord, is quiet young, he's at least nine years older than you, and he's handsome, he's got a sex appeal that is crazily strong, smart, & has money. What more would a girl want." Tsunade continued
"Sasuke, what are you going to do? If you want her then you're gonna have to make sure she doesn't fall for this guy." Naruto said
"There's nothing I can do, I'm married now." Sasuke said as he watched as Sakura danced with the lord.
"Well that's not entirely true." Suigetsu said as he appeared next to him.
"Oh so do you know what I can do to have her and keep my wife?" Sasuke asked
"One word my dear friend mistress." Suigetsu said
"A mistress huh." Sasuke repeated as his stare intensified .
With Sakura & Pein……..
"Have they announced if he becomes the head of the clan?" Sakura asked
"Not yet."
"That's weird there suppose to do it Before the reception."
"I know they're probably up to something."
BOOM
Sakura & Pein separated when something crashed into the ballroom. The smoke cleared revealing a big snake and two men standing on it.
"Orochimaru!" someone screamed
The man smiled evilly as he let a chuckle out Everyone pulled out their weapons. When they heard the crazed laughter.
"If I were you I'd put your weapons down." He hissed out
"Do you honestly think were stupid enough to put them down" Naruto asked
"I have something that belongs to Konoha." Orochimaru hissed
Sakura looked up at the darkening sky afraid of what she was about to see, when she turned her attention back to Orochimaru; just as she predicted, Orochimaru held out for all to see, Jiraiya's corpse. Gasp were heard in the ballroom it quited down when a murderous aura filled the room. The only thing they could here was Orochimaru's sickening laughter.
"You bastard! He was the only one that loved you still, you were his brother!" Naruto yelled, Kyubi already taking hold of him.
"Naruto get a hold of yourself." A calm voice said
Everyone turned their attention to Sakura her head hung down and pink bangs hid her face. Her frame was shaking terribly and her fist were clenched tightly knuckles turning white, & blood dripping down landing on the floor.
"Is little Sakura trying to hold in her tears, that is quite honorful don't you think Kabuto?" Orochimaru said
Sakura lifted her head up, showing off just how dead her soul really was. Surprising everyone in the room.
Before anyone could move a Katana appeared clutched in her hands, the metal of the blade was black with gold kanji's engraved onto it that glowed brightly. The hilt was also black but had two long white strips of silk hanging down.
"What is that?" Sasuke asked as he moved closer to Naruto.
They watched as Sakura dissapeared only to appear a few feet away from the snake like man, the tip of her Katana blade pointed at his collar bone.
"'He may be corrupted in the mind, but his heart isn't, for all his crimes he has commited do not proceed in killing him, defeat him if you must but do not kill him, for the forces of nature will come together and he will pay for his acts' Jiraiya-sensei once told me that he was talking about you, but now that you have proven to us that your heart is also corrupted I'm sure he wouldn't mind me taking your life, you know eye for an eye don't you think." Sakura said in a sickly sweet voice
"Has reality finally caught up to you little Sakura? a beautiful woman as yourself should not have such empty eyes." Orochimaru replied
Sakura pushed only the tip of the blade into the skin, the smell of burning flesh filling the air. Orochimaru hissed in pain this time as he felt the white hot sensation of his flesh buring.
"If I allow this this katana to go any deeper, and if I let go do you know what'll happen?" Sakura asked as she pushed the Katana a little deeper
"If I at anytime let go, you will turn into ashes, dust, maybe then we'll finally be rid of your pathetic self." Sakura said still in that sweet voice.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." Orochimaru replied
"That's exactly what it says on this Katana do you want to know her name?" Sakura asked
"Mai Megami" Sakura said lazily
Orochimarus eyes widened at the name.
"That's impossible no human can hold it, it would burn them alive, not even Kami himself can hold it!" Orochimaru exclaimed
Sakura didn't reply she only pushed it further into the skin eliciting another hiss from the man before her.
"That fools last words were all his children would revenge his death but I only see one perhaps he wasn't really loved" Orochimaru hissed out
Sakura stopped what she was doing and looked up, but she didn't expect to see red eyes when she looked up.
"Kuso" Sakura cursed before she was pulled into a black and purple world.
Everyone watched as the Sakura froze up, the stench of burned skin still filled the air.
"What the hell is going on up there, she needs to hurry the hell up I'm gonna be the one to kill him not her!" Naruto roared
"The smell is obviously coming from up there, so one of them is injured." Tsuande said
Sasuke activated his sharingan his eyes widened when he looked at Orochimarus eyes
"How the hell did he get the Mangekyou Sharingan?!" Sasuke yelled out for all to hear
Pein watched from the shadows, he no longer had his henj on or the robes; neither did any of the other Akatsuki.
"What are the orders?" Itachi asked
"Wait if she could brake away from you then she should have no problem with him, if she doesn't then we'll have to interfere." Pein replied
"Here's a question how did Orochimaru get the Sharingan in the first place?" Sasori asked
Before anyone could reply Orochimaru was thrown across the ballroom, going straight through the concrete wall, and skidding into the streets of Konoha. Sakura jumped off of Manda and onto the dance floor,she took her time as she walked across the room and outside it. Everyone watched as she grabbed the trader by his collar and dragged him back into the room. Handing him to Naruto she walked away.
"What you aren't going to even try to finish or is it that you can't?" Orochimaru asked
Sakura stopped walking and turned around to reveal her smirking face
"As you said Jiraiya's last words were that all his children would get revenge on you for what you have done, I have had my fun, & now that I have I'm passing you to one of his sons." Sakura replied before she disappeared again.
She reappeared next to Pein although no one knew she did.
"Orochimaru likes to talk alot when he thinks he has the upperhand did he say anything about the Sharingan?" he asked as he watched Naruto beat the bastard.
"He says that someone we, by we I mean Konoha, trust, gave him willingly Sasuke's DNA and that he found it from there and inserted it into himself." Sakura replied quietly
"Ah...it seems as though we are not the only ones with a spy here." Pein said mostly to himself
"Will you be joining in or will you allow Naruto to finish the job?" Sakura asked
"I'll take over if he looses to much control, from what I've been told his emotions trigger the kyubi's power, so we haev to watch him carefully." Pein replied
"Do you care?" Sakura whispered for only him to hear
"Do I care about Jiraiya being killed...no" he replied
Narutos sprouted another tail adding to four making it hard for anyone to be near him. Sakura looked up at the sky as to not have to watch her friend in such a terrifying state. But what she saw was something that was probably worst.
"Pein...we have another problem now." Sakura said in a shaky voice
Pein and the rest of the Akatsuki looked up at the glass ceiling only to see that the moon had already risen and was beginning to turn black.
"The kuro tsuki." Sakura said as she backed up against the wall.
"Itachi take the north side, Kisame & Deidara, will take the east, Sasori you have the south, Hidan & Kakazu will take the west of the building now go." Pein said and in a blink of an eye they disappeared to their ordered post.
Pein turned to see Sakura sitting on the floor against the wall.
"He sprouted another tail." Sakura said, Pein turned ariund to find the Kyubi jinchurriki at five tails now.
"Sakura stay where you are, this post gives you the look out of the floor." Pein said
"Pein we don't even know what we're up against, for all we know these things could be demons from the underworld, we can't go up against something like that." Sakura said
"I have to go finish the job since the jinchurriki has lost control." Pein said before he disappeared
Reappering in front of all the Konoha shinobi,
"Shit now Akatsuki is here could this day get any worse?" Tsunade asked
The lights began to flicker and finally they turned off the only light was coming from the moon and even then it was scarce since it was turning black. Naruto began to turn back to to his human form as the moon became darker and darker, everyone watched in awe as he transformed. Too soon for them to blink the ceiling was shattered and many forms descended upon them.
