I do not own Naruto but I DO own all of the OCs and this fanfiction.

Regardless of the obvious danger ahead, everyone our favorite three S-rank criminals had met over the past months were interested in having a part in stopping those annoying witches once and for all. That's when Kakuzu, Hidan and Sasori started thinking that maybe having people who actually knew about them was a good thing. Yeah, that statement only applies to select people. That was proven on the very day they had first thought that as now, they were sitting in the courtyard face to face with those five little girls they had met not too long before who had all the answers that they had been seeking before. How did it end up this way? Well…

Earlier that morning…

Mari spun in her friend Michiko's chair impatiently. She fumbled with her auburn pigtails. "Is it loaded yet, Michi-chan?" Mari groaned.

"Almost," the blonde replied.

"This is stupid," Chie complained.

"It's not," Mari huffed.

Chie blew her dark bangs off her face, annoyed. "You're not gonna find anything. Why the flip would you put a spy camera on Hidan-san's jacket?"

"Because I am 100% sure there's proof. It's on this video; I can feel it. If it would just freakin' load!"

Chie rolled her eyes. Michiko just giggled at her two friends; Kei was occupied jumping rope, her floppy, dirty-blonde bangs bouncing.

A moment later, Michiko clapped her hands together. "Ah, it's loaded."

Mari was at her side at once, Kei coming over second and finally-reluctantly-Chie. So they watched the footage recorded of all the events that went on in scope of the camera-which would be all of the living room-over the last 3 days (fast forwarding anything useless, of course).

And so here we are.

Kakuzu massaged his temples. These five, (well actually four; little Cho was just being babysat by her big sister Chie) nosy, neighborhood brats had footage of so much proof it was ridiculous. From the converstation he and Sasori had about the witches and Hidan's pregnancy all the way down to Jack O. Lantern's speech.

"I can tell what you are thinking, you know," Mari said, grinning. "You're thinking, 'They have so much proof' and such, am I right?"

"You know, we don't mind killing you guys, right?" Kakuzu narrowed his eyes.

"We know," Mari said in a proud tone. "But, nonetheless, we have unanimously decided we want to help."

Silence.

Finally, Sasori spoke, a bit incredulous. "You want to help…?"

"Hai!" Mari said. "This is the destiny that has been bestowed upon us!"

"It just doesn't seem like we should just sit and do nothing," Kei agreed.

"Helping people is good!" Michiko added.

Chie kept a sour facial expression. "Normally, I would just leave this as it is, but Jack-san said that anyone involved would be eliminated…I have a little sister to protect so…"

Regardless of how annoying or nosy they were they seemed to be genuinely good little girls.

"Fine then," Kakuzu surprised everyone by replying.

They could probably be of some "help".

"Yosh!" Mari pumped her fist into the air.

Chie scowled. "Oh shut up, Haruhi Suzumiya!"

Sorami perked up. "OMG, it is like-!"

Sasori facepalmed. "No anime references!"

A little while later, the five girls were out of their hair, off on a "mission" assigned to them by Kakuzu. Now, they could finally get down to serious business.

"Simply put," Kakuzu started. "We can't just go to the witches' so called 'banquet' unprepared."

"Well that was downright obvious, Kakuzu-kun," Hareta said. "We already know a lot about the witches, what they want and what not, but what we need to know is the answers to the things we haven't figured out enough about to actually beat them."

"Jack-san basically handed us most of the answers on a silver platter," Sasori thought aloud. "We don't know what kind of powers the three head witches have, we have no idea if the address Jack-san gave us is phony or what this 'banquet' actually is although it's obvious it's not actually a banquet. Those are the main problems here."

"Well, if all witches possess some kind of elemental power we can assume the three lead witches will too," Genmaru suggested. "Y'know, like Shinzouko possessed the power of lightning and Kaori and that cloaked-woman that chased Hidan that time possessed the power of wind."

"No, the witches Izuno-kun and I fought didn't possess elemental powers," Fuyumi said.

Genmaru snapped his fingers, feeling a bit defeated.

"What the flip?" Hidan exclaimed out of the blue.

"What?" Kakuzu asked.

"When did Fuyumi-chan and Izuno-kun fight witches?"

Izuno rolled his eyes and shot a knowing look at Fuyumi.

"What?" Fuyumi shot back. "It didn't seem that important at the time!"

Kakuzu sighed. "So then they possessed what?"

"Poison and sound," Izuno replied. "And sex appeal."

Most everyone facepalmed at the last comment.

"Well at least we've been able to group the witches and their powers," Suzuki sighed. "All except for the twins."

What was the twins' power? They had never figured that out and they had left without barely a word last time. Everyone was silent, as they were in deep thought.

Hidan finally broke the silence, "Kanjou and Seishin."

"Yes, we know their names, Hidan," Kakuzu said, mockingly.

"No, I mean, Kanjou and Seishin, that's their names. It makes sense. Their names mean emotion and mind. I think they have the power to take over your emotions and mind.

"That's actually a good observation, surprisingly."

Surprisingly, he says.

"So that settles that then," Taemi said. "We know as much as we can for what information we've been given. The key to beating these witches is obviously to counter their main power. You've all probably noticed that once the power of a witch is foiled it's virtually impossible for them to fight back so when confronting these witches we need to uncover their powers as soon as possible while keeping in mind the powers of the witches we've fought previously. All we need is supplies and a few illegal weapons."

Taemi gave a knowing look towards Erena.

Erena smirked. "Illegal guns are my specialty. I'm sure two yankies we know would probably be able to cover any other areas of illegal weaponry."

"No prob," Kuromi and Akako said coolly.

"Then it's settled," Kakuzu announced. "Make all preperations within the next 24 hours if possible. The banquet is in less than 48-hours."

So, everyone went to prepare.

And what were Mari and her friends doing during all this? they were at the convinience store on a "mission", buying snacks.

A/N: All right! Thanks for reading everyone! :)
