Chapter 4

Masago Uchiha was standing in front of the Leader of the Akatsuki. There, Konan stood by his side, as he continued to stare into your eyes.

"Uchiha Masago of the Sand, you have been brought to the Akatsuki to become one of us, if you are not willing to assist this organisation, you will die." The Leader spoke with no emotion whatsoever.

She remained silent, this man was scary, he wasn't even blinking as he stared, silence lurked in the room, was she supposed to speak? She couldn't figure it out.

"Uchiha, are you willing?" Leader spoke.

Masago nodded her head in response, fearful to even speak, as the wrong words would mean certain death.

"You're a quite one, child. Try not to fear me, I only wish to bring this world to peace, do you know why you are here Masago-san?" Leader spoke, almost sounding human.

Masago had to bite her tongue. She was nearly going to shout out, 'Yes I know why I am here! You got people to drag me here!' but she decided in her best interests that wouldn't go down well. So she bit her tongue and said.

"No, Leader-sama."

The Leader leaned back, relaxing. "Well, you where a spy for Suna, and your information gathering is at top form, Although Zetsu is a excellent spy for us, it would be better suited to have a human looking spy."

"...Human looking spy?" She asked with an eyebrow raised, 'why doesn't Zetsu look human?' Masago thought.

Konan then spoke up. "Pain-sama, Masago has yet to meet Zetsu-san."

Leader or Pain as Konan called him then made a hand sign and a weird figure started to form from the ground. Once it was fully visible Masago understood immediately why the Akatsuki needed someone human looking to spy for them, how the hell would this plant looking guy be able to close range spy?

"What can I do for you, Leader-sama." The voice asked, surprisingly polite to her ears.

"Zetsu. This will be your new partner, Uchiha Masago." Pain said.

"Uchiha? The brat doesn't look like an Uchiha." Zetsu said, but then he also said "Don't be so rude!"

Masago was confused... her partner seems to be a bi-polar plant. It also seemed that the White side of Zetsu was the polite one, and the Black side was the rude one.

"Masago-san, please to be working with you." The White side of Zetsu said respectfully. "Yeah just dont get in my way." Black Zetsu... Charming.

"Of course, Zetsu-san." Masago answered, she didn't think that it would be too smart to be on the wrong side of this guy.

"Masago, whilst you're here you'll also be working with the other members when needed, and its vital that you have training with Itachi-san so you can improve your kekkei genkai to its full ability. You've never trained will a real Uchiha before, so I am sure it will be productive." Leader spoke.

"Yes Leader-sama." she answered.

"Right well that is all. You're willing to join the Akatsuki, I know you will be a asset to this organisation, Konan can you take Masago to Itachi-san please." Pain said.

"Of course, this way Masago-san." Konan said as she started walking towards you beckoning you to follow her. Masago nodded her head to the leader and then followed Konan out into the main meeting room.

Inside Leaders office his conversation continued with Zetsu.

"I must ask you not to kill Masago-san, she is wanted by him." Pain told Zetsu

"By him." White Zetsu said "Anything for our leader." Black Zetsu finished off and then sunk into the ground.

'Such a waste.' Where Pains thoughts.

Back outside Konan had taken Masago to Itachi's room and said she would see her later and went back to Pain's room. She wasn't really sure what to do at this point. So she opened the door to a tunnel like the one from her room, walked down the candle lit tube, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Itachi's cold hollow voice came from behind the door.

Masago let herself into a dimly lit room, Itachi was sitting at his desk reading some old scrolls when he turned around to face her.

"Masago-san, how was your meeting with Leader?" Itachi asked, she wondered why he didn't use the respectful term.

"It was fine, Itachi-sama."

"Masago, please don't feel you need to be so formal with me. We're Uchihas, and I will be proud to teach you more about the clan." Itachi said.

'Yeah the one you butchered.' she though to herself, but didn't dare say something like that.

"The only thing I have been taught, Sharingan wise, was from Kakashi Hatake, from the Leaf." Masago said.

"How is are your abilities?"

"Being mentored by Kakashi, using the Sharingan to copy nin tai and genjutsu is above avarage, it was his speciality so he taught me a lot. My Insight has to be the worst, and my abilities to hypnotise and manipulate are okay, I've gotten by with them, but I think they can be stronger, I just don't know how to achieve this." Masago said, she was quite aware of the names of the foundations that make up the Sharingan, but Kakashi wasn't able to go into depts about them.

"ah, Kakashi, for not being born Uchiha, welded the Sharingan well. However the effects of using that slows him down incredibly. As you can see I have my Sharingan activated permanently, I do this by exerting my chakra levels in a way. Something I think you should learn, but it takes a lot of effort."

"I'm only half Uchiha, do you even think my chakra levels would be able to withstand that?" she asked.

"Perhaps, you have a good flow of chakra, and a lot of it, you must get that from your Uchiha bloodlines."

Masago looked to the floor. She did not know anything really when it came to her blood father, he was dead now anyway, probably killed by the man in front of her, but she felt nothing, she was from Sunagakure, and that's all she ever knew.

"I would like to go test your Insight out, we can go to the lounge to do this." Itachi said as he walked past her and out of the door, where he held it opened for her as she walked out. They walked side by side until they got to the lounge, Masago wondered why they would be training in the lounge, that's the place for the sofa and the TV... not to train, right? This was the strangest lounge she had ever seen, it was a training room, was it a joke?

"When Konan-san said this was the lounge, I thought she meant like... a lounge." Masago said.

Itachi chuckled. "Yeah, lounging isn't really on the agenda here. We just call it the lounge as an inside joke."

Masago cocked an eyebrow, Itachi just laughed. I guess these guys are human after all, well most of them anyway.

A few hours past, and Masago had already imrpoved her Insight immensly. Itachi was a very good teacher, in a different leauge to Kakashi. She could see his chakra flow quite clearly. He also showed her how to use the sharingan to read lip movements more clearly, which will come in handy with her being a spy.

Four hours into the training Kisame came into the 'Lounge' and said Hello to her, she liked Kisame, he was a funny guy. But Itachi and Kisame had to go away on a mission to capture Naruto from the Leaf village. Kisame shouted a friendly goodbye too her and even Itachi said nice goodbyes.

She left the lounge after Itachi and Kisame. And made her way to the kitchen, she hadn't eaten since Konan gave her those nice rice balls this morning, and she was starving. She walked into the kitchen diner to see Deidara eating what looked like dango. Her mouth started to water as she stared at the sweet treat.

"Hey Uchiha, un. There is more in the fridge yeah." The blonde boy spoke

"Ah, thanks..." she said as she nearly ran to the fridge.

Masago got five dango sticks with three balls on each, and sat down opposite Deidara. Who looked at her amused.

"Uchiha, un, dango is really fattening, yeah, wanna watch what you eat hmm." He chuckled.

Masago glared at Deidara, "Are you calling me fat, blondie?" she said.

"oh oh speak for yourself blonde Uchiha, un."

"...whatever, I haven't even eaten since this morning so I don't care how much fat I shovel into my face. dango tastes nice and I'm hungry." she said.

"haha hmm, whatever un, Goodnight Uchiha." Deidara said as he left the kitchen.

'Bastard' she thought as she ate the rest of the dango and left the kitchen to go to her room. All that training with Itachi had made her tiered. She stripped her clothes off, put on pyjamas and got into bed, falling asleep almost immediately.

AngelicEvangelion here: I wasn't going to put in any Deidara in this chapter but I decided to throw in a Dango scene at the end there :) I've updated a chapter a day so far, might not have the time to do one a day but maybe one every other day :)
