Masago awoke early another birthday had passed her and she was now 16, Sunagakure had changed massively in the last two years, one being Temari's brother Gaara becoming Kazekage. Masago was happy for him, he got nothing but neglect growing up, all because of a one tailed demon called Shukaku, Gaara was scary when he lost control back in the day though.
She got out of bed, skipped breakfast, and made her way to the Kazekage tower, with most villagers staring at her as she walked past, they knew she was a Uchiha now, and a lot of agro actually came with it, villagers thought she was a liability because Orochimaru or Itachi Uchiha could come terrorise the village to take her away. Whatever though, she didn't care, village life had become extremely tedious to her.
She got to the top of the Kage tower and before knocking on Gaara's door she ran her fingers through her long blond hair and rolled her eyes, just another long boring meeting she thought. She knocked and the door flew open she was surprised, what was Temari Kankuro and Baki doing here?
"Masago, please listen carefully there is something important we all need to discuss." Gaara spoke seriously. "We all know you're an Uchiha now, and you're the last of your kind, have you ever heard of a group called the Akatsuki?"
She shook her head. "I've heard their name, and I know Uchiha Itachi is amongst them, but that's all I could tell you about them."
Baki then spoke up. "We believe them to be after you, they've been recruiting, we think it's best we send you to Konohagakure because they're most experienced with the organisation."
Masago looked at Temari, then to Gaara, who just nodded his head, and dismissed Baki, who left without question.
"Konoha tells me that the Akatsuki are after the tailed beats, which means they'll be coming here to attack. Going to Konoha won't just be safer for you, it will be safer for the village all round." Gaara said
Temari then spoke up "Masago! It doesn't mean we don't want you here, it's just for the villages safety, you're our friend, but we can't put our village in danger."
Masago was staring at the floor at this point, what they where saying made no sense to her, they're sending me away but the Akatsuki will come for Gaara anyway! "When do I leave then."
Gaara had his eyes closed, and Temari was staring at the floor, Kankuro then spoke for the first time, "We have a team to escort you, tonight..."
Out of anger her Sharingan flared in her eyes, she turned around, and left the Kage tower without another word. Once she got home she started to cry, she didn't even know why! She slumped down and just sat and stared for over an hour until she realised this was real, and she needed to pack her things up.
Her life, was packed up into two bags, that's all her life was, two medium lowsey bags! She took one last look around her old house and left for the gate.
In her empty house a figure emerged from the floor, one that wasn't human looking, "Leader-sama Masago Uchiha will be on the move tonight, Kisame and Itachi are stalking the border waiting to attack, everything looks good." The plant like man said to a hologram in front of him.
"Very well, Zetsu, you're dismissed." The hologram said, then vanished.
"hehehe what do you think of the new member ehh?" White Zetsu asked his Black half. "I don't care, hopefully she dies so I can eat her! I'm hungry, let's go pick off a villager." Zetsu then disappeared.
Masago got to the entrance to Suna quicker than she had wanted, her anger had died down, but she was still upset, her boring village life seemed to have resurrected in her mind as the best life ever, but she knew deep down this wasn't true, she didn't belong here now, and going to Konoha would further her aspects regarding the Sharingan.
Temari, Kankuro and Gaara where waiting for her at the gate, along with Baki and some nin who she guessed would be her escorts. Temari spoke first, telling her she'd see her soon being the ambassador of Suna, she traveled monthly to Konoha to keep the peace between the two villages, the two friends hugged goodbye. Next was Kankuro, which was awkward, Masago always had a little school girl crush on Kankuro, thankfully she'd grown up and realised he was a... Well... Idiot. They awkwardly hugged goodbye and laughed it off. Gaara was next, just a formal handshake and a nod of the head, the two where never that close.
"Its time to depart." Baki said "Masago these ninja are your escorts, we believe you will arrive successfully in Konoha within three days."
Masago nodded her head in acceptance, "Thank you."
And with that Masago and the three nin set off into the desert of Sunagakure, It was half a day in when she realised this was going to be the most plain journey in her lifetime, nobody talked, it was just straight running. After the first day the team set up camp, ate food, and went to bed, Masago was seriously doubting if these men had their voice boxes intact.
It was during the middle of the second day when it happened. The team where nearing closer to the border of the Fire country, when they where ambushed, and they where all dead. Masago looked around franticly, thousands of thoughts rushing through her head, until a figure appeared in front of her, he was only a bit taller than she was, with long dark hair, and the signature Akatsuki cloak, she looked up into his eyes and shock spread across her face as she took a step back only to bump into another person, a weird blue man! With blue hair and gills?
It was then who she had already guessed to be Itachi Uchiha spoke. "Masago Uchiha, we're here to recruit you into the Akatsuki, you have no choice, either come with us now, or you shall die."
"Oh Itachi-sama you don't have to be so mean to the little girl." The blue ninja spoke.
"Quite Kisame. Uchiha Masago, you're a mistake that wasn't supposed to happen. Now you're alone and you need to master your kekei genkai to its full ability, I can teach you that." Itachi spoke without emotion.
Masago thought about it within herself, there was really no way out of this, either she went with these men, or she died. "Okay. I'll go with you."
Kisame then clapped. "Oh excellent! Can you cook?"
"Kisame!" Itachi glared at his partner.
You just looked the other way, thinking how weird this idiot was. It was then Itachi who spoke again.
"Sorry, but you can't know the location of our hideout until you're proven trust-worthy."
She looked up to Itachi, big mistake. The black was spinning around the red of his eyes and Masago was knocked out immediately.
"So she's the last female Uchiha, you'd think she'd know not to look into the eyes of you eh Itachi-kun?" Kisame spoke to Itachi.
"She's half Uchiha, and she's not as strong as one either. But maybe in time, I can fix that." Itachi replied as he walked away.
"ohohoh? I guess I am carrying you then." Kisame said as he picked up Masago and followed Itachi.
Far away in a secret location a figure emerged from the floor, "Leader-sama, Uchiha Masago has been successfully recruited. There was no fight, everything has gone to plan."
"Good, she will be an asset to this organisation, whilst she lasts." The Leader then looked at his female partner, "Konan, I am in trusting you will look after her well being whilst she's inside the base."
Konan nodded in response.
"Zetsu" Leader spoke "Masago will act as a assistant spy and assassin to you, try not to eat her."
"heh" Zetsu muttered as he disappeared into the ground once more.
"Leader-sama, can Zetsu be trusted with the new member?" Konan asked.
"If he knows what's best for him he will follow orders. Now Itachi and Kisame should be arriving here any minute, meet them and Masago and settle her in. Then bring her to me." Leader ordered as he walked out of the room, Konan walked to the entrance of the base, and sat down on one of the wooden benches, and waited.
AngelicEvangelion here: I've finnally planned the whole story out in writing, So this will definatly have an end, thats figured out already... I cant stand "Mary-Sues" and I hope Masago wont be one, even though shes an Uchiha... Although I really believe this sort of person could happen, its not like all the Uchihas where interbred with each other? mmm anyway...
