Naruto and the other woke up early with just enough time to see that sun beginning to rise over the horizon. He slowly turned his gaze to see that Yuugao wasn't in her bed and sighed thinking she had been out all night. Naruto saw Shizune waking up with him while her tail slightly swayed around. Naruto sighed and touched Shizune's shoulder bringing the raven haired beauty to his presence.
"Shizune, maybe you should henge that tail. With the power you have, I think you scared Yuugao away," Naruto said chuckling at the thought of an anbu fleeing from a massive chakra source. Shizune turned her head to see that tail moving around and blushed with a nod. After making the tail vanish, Shizune and Naruto had a quick shower and changed back into their regular clothes for their mission. Naruto opened the door and escorted Shizune out to see that Kurenai and Kiba walked out also at basically the same time.
"Wow it makes me wonder if we woke up at the same time," Kiba said with a slight yawn. Naruto shrugged his shoulder while Kurenai looked inside the vacant room.
"Umm Naruto, where is Yuugao?" She asked a little worried. Naruto sighed and rubbed the back of his head not being able to answer that question, but decided to simply get it over with.
"Well Kurenai-chan. We had a small talk last night and I don't know where she is right now, though I we can all check," Naruto said revealing his fox ears. Naruto closed his eyes for a few seconds while the group watched his ears move in all directions before stopping at a specific spot.
"Found her. It seems she's training right now. Either that or she's really pissed since she's cutting off trees," Naruto said while everyone chuckled. Naruto sighed and turned back to everyone else.
"Alright guys, I'll go get Yuugao-chan. Shizune, you take Kurenai and Kiba to Kiri. Yuugao and I will catch up with you guys," Naruto told her. Shizune nodded while the three walked off. Naruto watched them disappear before teleporting to Yuugao's location.
Kin and Haku were still having their fun with three of the Sound Ninja Four who seemed a bit worse for wear. Kin cracked her neck and her knuckles waiting of either of the three to come charging at her again.
How the hell is this bitch so strong?" Sakon asked as he covered for his left arm that had been shattered by one of Kin's punches. Kidomaru wasn't doing any better as he had bruises all over his body. Jirobo cursed since he wondered just how powerful Kin had gotten over the short time she had been gone. Kin advanced towards the three men while giving a weird and twisted smile.
"I hope your not done. I've faced a lot of abuse from you guys and I've come to collect on that suffering. So get up and fight me right now so I can break your necks in half," Kin said as the guys steadily rose to their feet. Kin chuckled while Haku leaned on the side of a destroyed building simply watching her raven haired companion. Haku was simply twirling an ice senbon with a bored look on her face as she watched Kin toy with the guys.
"Kin don't you think they've lived long enough? I mean come on, there wasting precious air," Haku said keeping up her bored look. Kin chuckled then fake pouted and turned to Haku in some childish tone.
"Aw come on Haku. It's just starting to fun," Kin said, but she was suddenly launched through the air into a building causing it to crash into the ground. Haku raised an eyebrow and turned her head to see Jirobo with a smirk on his face.
"Take that bitch. You let your guard down. Now I'm gonna take care of your little friend here," Jirobo said while his gaze turned to Haku. Sakon ad Kidomaru got their second wind and began to feel that they had a chance as they neared Haku. Haku sighed before turning her gaze to Kin who was emerging from the rubble without a scratch on her body which astounded the three.
"Man, some people have no respect. Here I am trying to talk and he tries to hit me. What is the world coming to?" Kin asked before lunging at Jirobo. Jirobo being heavy couldn't dodge in time as Kin pierced his stomach with her hand. Sakon and Kidomaru gasped as the blood dripped across Kin's hand. Kin gave a foxy grin showing her canines while Jirobo slumped to the ground. Kin smirked as she slowly took out her hand from the fat man's stomach causing the man to nearly scream out in pain. When Kin took out her hand, Jirobo fell to the ground while placing his hands at the hole in his stomach.
"D-Damn bitch. You won't get away with this. Orochimaru-sama will avenge us and you will be left as ashes to the wind," Jirobo said while Kin sharpened her claws. Sakon and Kidomaru tried to interfere, but were stopped by Haku as they could only watch when Kin slashed Jirobo's throat causing the rest of his blood to slosh out as he hit the floor lifeless. Haku smirked as Kin held up her hand and gave it a small lick.
"This blood is cold. It's got no feeling to it at all. Maybe these guys are different," Kin said as she neared Sakon and Kidomaru. Both backed away from the insane looking girl and mentally cursed that their curse marks were gone. As they backed away, Sakon bumped into Haku who had her hair covering her eyes.
"Well looks like you guys have no more reasons to be alive," Haku said planting a senbon in Kidomaru's throat. Kidomaru gasped and fell to the floor while Kin slashed Sakon's throat causing both Oto nin to hit the floor. Kin chuckled and swatted the blood from her hand while Haku retrieved her senbon from Kidomaru's throat.
"I've always wanted to do that to them. Damn pricks always thought they were high and mighty. Well I fuckin showed them. Come on, Tayuya is probably somewhere around here. Let's get her and get start the panic in this place. Naruto-kun has his sights on this place and who are we to disappoint him?" Kin asked with an innocent smile. Haku chuckled with a nod as they two girls disappeared from view leaving the bodies of three sound nin on the road.
Meanwhile, Sasuke and Sakura had just made it out of Konoha and were quite a distance away from the pathetic village. Sakura, thanks to her training, managed to keep up with Sasuke as the two ran off to find their way to Oto. Both knew that Sarutobi might have already sent a recovery team after them, but they didn't care. Both knew how to fight very well, unless against two other people, so they could look after themselves.
"So Sasuke-kun, how long till we're out of Hi no Kuni?" Sakura asked him. Sasuke smirked and took out a small map of the surrounding boarders. Sakura peeked over his shoulder while Sasuke pointed to a small spot.
"We are right here now. We have about another three hours. We've been running all night so it shouldn't be long now. Let's hurry up before we have some insects to deal with," Sasuke told her. Sakura nodded as they two picked up their stuff and ran off leaving no trail behind them.
"So Sasuke-kun, I remember from Kakashi that if you went to Orochimaru, he would try and take your body to gain the sharingan, what are you going to do in that time?" Sakura asked him. Sasuke narrowed his eyes while looking forward before turning back to Sakura.
"Until that time I'm going to get all the training I can from his ass and then I am going to end him. He'll never be able to posses by sacred dojutsu. I won't turn over my revenge for anything. You said you wanted revenge to, then train Sakura and show the people who killed your mother no mercy when you confront them," Sasuke spoke. Sakura instantly scowled at the thought of the damned person who killed her mother. Sakura clenched her fists tightly until blood dripped from her hands.
"I'll kill them. Whoever did this to my mother I'm going to kill them without mercy Sasuke-kun," Sakura said which made the last Uchiha smile. Maybe being this girl's boyfriend wasn't such a bad thought after all. She certainly knew how to be dramatic in that sense. She seemed to be the girl version of him now.
"Well then Sakura, let's go and get that power that will make all the nations bow before us. I'll personally make that dobe bow before his superior," Sasuke said while Sakura gave a hidden grin.
"And I'll make his bitch bow before me. The only thing she is fit to do is lick my sandals," Sakura said as the two shot off.
After about 15 minutes of running, Sasuke and Sakura came to an open plain where they saw a man with white hair and the standard white shirt and blue pants with a purple belt typed in a knot.
"Are you Sasuke Uchiha?" He asked. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the man, but didn't cower and stepped forward with a smug grin on his face.
"I am. Are you from Orochimaru?" Sasuke asked the man.
"That's right. I'm Kimimaro. Orochimaru-sama has requested that I bring you to Oto. He has gone in search of Tsunade Senju, but hasn't returned yet. I'm sure he will be back shortly. Who is the woman with you?" He asked the Uchiha. Sakura stepped forward and gave a confident smile that made Sasuke raise an eyebrow, but he didn't say anything.
"I'm Sakura Haruno. I've left the village with Sasuke-kun in search of power. I take it you can put me through some rigorous training to bring out my power. I will use it to end the life of someone who deserves to be dead," Sakura said in a tone that made Kimimaro shudder slightly as he looked at the two kids. They didn't seem to be all talk, but they did seem a little dark, just perfect for Orochimaru to have for a host body.
"Alright let's go. I'll escort you both to Oto immediately," Kimimaro said as the three left as fast as they came.
"So how long till we're out of Hi no Kuni?" Sakura asked one more time to be certain.
"In another 2 hours or so. Come on we don't have the time to slow down Sakura," Sasuke said to her Sakura nodded as the three ran off through the trees.
Naruto managed to find Yuugao in time and continued to watch her train for awhile. Naruto admired her kenjutsu forms and the power behind each technique. She would make a perfect ally and mate if not for some of that snobby attitude that so many anbu possessed, but it was probably unavoidable. Naruto knew what that kind of work was like. He had done it multiple times in the future, but the job never really got to him like it did with most people. Maybe Yuugao was just venting some type of frustration.
Naruto was suddenly brought out of his stupor when he saw a sword pass by him grazing his cheek and sticking to a tree. Naruto smirked as he wiped a small trail of blood from his cheek while seeing the Anbu's hard gaze on him.
"I could write you up for endangerment to your superior officer," Naruto said as he came down from the tree. Yuugao scoffed as she appeared behind Naruto with her sword at his throat.
"Don't you think I'm the superior here?" She asked with a small grin. Naruto gave a sly grin and turned his head slightly to see Yuugao with the smile on her face. It was a new expression to Naruto, but it certainly wasn't a bad one.
"Nope, I'm still the superior. Simply because, your surrounded," Naruto said to her. Before Yuugao realized it, she really was surrounded by twelve kage bunshins of Naruto, each with it's own sword aimed at a specific point on her body. Yuugao turned her head to Naruto who still had a smile on his face. Unfortunately for him, Yuugao was a kenjutsu master and quickly disposed of every clone near her.
"I'm not an anbu captain for nothing Naruto-san, I'm your superior on and off the battlefield, you should remember that," Yuugao said while Naruto laughed which caused her to raise an eyebrow at him. Naruto instantly disappeared in a flash of yellow lightning and appeared behind a surprised Yuugao with his sword at her throat.
"Lowing your guard isn't like an anbu captain Yuugao-chan. It could mean the difference between life and death. I sure you know that," Naruto said as Yuugao brought her finger to the tip of Naruto's blade.
"I didn't know you had a sword Naruto-san, let alone knew the Hiraishin of the Yondaime," Yuugao said giving Naruto a suspicious look. Naruto smirked and leaned his head on Yuugao's shoulder causing the purple haired woman to slightly blush even if Naruto didn't see it.
"Oh I thought Anbu knew all sorts of things. Apparently, Hokage-Jiji didn't tell you that I'm the Yondaime's son. I've got the compound now also. Then there is the kenjutsu, well let's just say that I've always been 'interested' in the multiple uses of a sword such as mine," Naruto told her. Yuugao raised an eyebrow at the way Naruto said that, but didn't pay it much mind.
"So Yuugao-chan, when did you start to get into the flirting game?" Naruto asked her. Yuugao's blush deepened, though only slightly as she turned to face Naruto who had the biggest grin across his face. It slightly irritated Yuugao that maybe he was right about the flirting thing. Maybe she was unconsciously flirting?
"Naruto-san, I have no idea what your talking about. Your far too young for me. What makes you think you have a shot with me?" Yuugao asked him. Naruto smirked as he adopted a thinking pose for a few minutes as he contemplated on how to answer Yuugao question.
"Well Anko-chan, Kurenai-chan, Tsume-chan, and Hana-chan don't seem to mind so I think your fine if you want to go out with a hot blond like myself," Naruto said which made Yuugao gasp at the fact that some of her friends dated Naruto and even more surprising what that they never told her about it. Sure she never asked about their love lives since she didn't want to be reminded that she didn't really have one after Hayate's death. Yuugao chuckled and it shortly turned into a laugh that startled the hanyou.
"And here I thought the anbu never laughed," Naruto joked while Yuugao turned to him not being able to get the rare smile off her face.
"I'm not sure I can ever forget Hayate, but I'm willing to try and find something new. He wouldn't want me to be alone like this working myself to death," Yuugao said with a shrug of her shoulders. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the anbu captain.
"So I take it you wanna go out with me then?" Naruto asked her. Yuugao chuckled and turned to face 'her' superior.
"I suppose I am, though aren't you supposed to ask me out?" Yuugao asked with a childish joke. Naruto sheepishly chuckle and rubbed the back of his head.
"Well if I did, I would have waited when you weren't carrying a deadly weapon in your hand," Naruto said cautiously staring at the weapon Yuugao still hand in her hand. Yuugao chuckled since she knew he was probably right. Many of the guys who asked her out ended up in the hospital for about two weeks and she was in a good mood when most of those happened.
"Touche Naruto-san, but before you even think about dating me, we have a mission to finish," Yuugao reminded him. Naruto chuckled, but nodded as he told her that he sent Shizune, Kiba, and Kurenai ahead. After receiving that information, Yuugao and Naruto disappeared into the trees in an attempt to catch up to the others.
"So then Naruto-san tell me. How good are you with that sword of yours?" Yuugao asked with a gleam in her eye that she was ready to bring Naruto down at the earliest convenience. Naruto smirked and decided to tell Yuugao about his exploits with his sword while also learning some of her own.
Back in Konoha, there was rapid talking at the Namikaze compound as it seemed that Kushina Uzumaki and Mikoto Uchiha had finally met. It seemed that both women had missed each other those times and just now realized that the other was back. Mikoto already knew Minato was back, but the two didn't really talk much since Kushina was basically their friendship mold.
"So Mikoto, how does it feel to be alive?" Kushina asked. Mikoto took a sip of some tea and gave a small smile while looking at the cup.
"Honestly I don't know. It feels weird to be back here. I have Naruto-kun to thank for it though," Mikoto said surprising Kushina at the words that came out of her mouth.
"Did you just say 'Naruto-kun'? Kushina asked still in complete shock. Mikoto blushed and averted Kushina's gaze while she gave a nervous chuckle that Kushina picked up on. Kushina narrowed her eyes at her best friend and placed her hand on Mikoto's shoulder.
"What happened Mi-ko-to-chan?" Kushina asked as her gripped tightened. Mikoto gulped slowly and turned back to Kushina with a sigh.
"Well, Naruto-kun made me a new woman and it was one of the best times of my life. Oh look at the time bye Kushina," Mikoto quickly said before vanishing in a shunshin leaving a near irritable Kushina in the room. Kushina breathed a small sigh before summoning her favorite sword to her hands. Kushina slowly stood to her feet and slowly sheathed the metal while admiring it. The Uzumaki woman suddenly took off in an insane dash after her best friend.
"MIKOTO GET BACK HERE! IT WON'T HURT FOR LONG DATTEBANE!" Kushina yelled as he ran after Mikoto.
While this was going on, Minato was outback training with Tsume and Hana since both girls wondered what it would be like to fight the Yondaime. Needless to say, even without the added power that Naruto could give him, Minato was more or less an equal to both the Inuzukas.
"Well Minato, you certainly live up to your reputation," Hana said while a smile. Tsume nodded while Minato appeared on top of a tree branch along with his three-pronged kunai.
"Well ladies, you know...I try," Minato said with a grin. Hana chuckled and disappeared fast behind Minato only for the blond to vanish in yellow lightning away from the woman. Hana slightly cursed the damned Hiraishin, but knew it was good for getting to opponents faster and...ending their lives with her oh so sharp claws that just wanted to rip something apart. Minato appeared on the ground with a huff only to dodge a Tsūga from Tsume again while he disappeared into the house leaving Tsume and Hana outside.
"Minato get back out here and help us train dammit!" Tsume yelled as Minato appeared with a sheepish grin and rubbed the back of his head which only served to make Hana and Tsume remember Naruto and his time with them both.
"Sorry about that ladies. Now then, I'll get serious," Minato said as he disappeared while Tsume felt a small pain in her side to see Minato had kicked her into a tree and disappeared before pushing a rasengan into Hana blasting her a few feet away. Hana smirked and got up with some ripped clothes while Tsume softly rubbed her side.
"That's the way Minato. Don't hold back on our account," They said as both charged him again. Minato sighed, but kept up his smirk before continuing his training with the two Inuzukas. He had invited Anko to join in the spar, but she couldn't though she wanted to. She had patrol in a few hours and she wanted to spend the few hours resting and relaxing.
"Anko, stop being lazy and give me some help here," Minato said as he dodged Tsume and Hana left and right. Anko chuckled while she read a book on using the best way to make someone scream, cry, or even beg for death by using torture. Coincidentally, it was a book she 'borrowed' from Shizune and began on the series of books also. Some of the things in the book she didn't even know. It was more or less very interesting.
"Sorry Yondaime-sama, I'm occupied at the moment and can't lift myself off the couch," Anko said then laughed when she heard a sigh of frustration from Minato. Anko smirked and smirked, but she ultimately got up and unsheathed her sword before walking towards the training field.
"Alright then, I guess I can have some fun too," Anko said before charging into the training with all intentions of helping out the ex-Hokage.
Haku and Kin continued to hop along the rooftops of Oto while seeing some of the fires blaze around the village. Kin marveled at it all while wondering where the hell Tayuya was. She was Kin's only friend. She had a real mouth, but she was loyal to her friends. Kin didn't want her dying. Not to mention Tayuya needed someone and who better than Naruto.
"So Haku are you ready to enter? We might meet some more people," Kin said to her. Haku smirked with a nod as the two girls entered the building.
"Alright Kin, you know the layout the best. I'll follow your lead," Haku said as the two girls raced through the building opening random doors in a hope to find Tayuya. Oto didn't have that many allies so they didn't have to worry about any reinforcements not that they could be a problem, but it would be too troublesome to kill every single last one of them. Plus Naruto told them that Oto had something that he wanted, so they very well couldn't completely destroy Oto. Kin opened one door and Haku opened the other, but both still came up with nothing.
"Alright let's check the very bottom. Trust me it goes down a long ways. I'm sure Tayuya is somewhere. She rarely goes out," Kin said as she punched the floor causing both to fall through the levels of the building.
Both girls went down seven floor until they hit rock bottom with a loud crash. Haku coughed at the excess dust in the air and slightly punched Kin on the arm.
"Warn someone the next time you do that. Damn we probably attracted so much attention with your stunt," Haku said with a sigh. Kin chuckled and shrugged her shoulders.
"Hey it's an efficient method. Now let's go and find Tayuya," Kin said to Haku, but both suddenly smirked when a shadow came into view.
"And what do you two shitheads want with me?" someone asked them. Kin smirked while Haku turned her gaze to a redhead woman.
"Hey Tayuya, I see you've been good," Kin said as Tayuya came into view. Tayuya gasped as she saw Kin in the midst of the rubble. Tayuya ran up to her and suddenly bonked Kin on her head only getting a chuckle for a response.
"Dammit Kin, do you know how fuckin worried I was. I had to deal with so much shit that it wasn't even funny. These damn cocksuckers still breathing makes me sick. I just wish I could send the motherfuckers straight to hell," Tayuya said while Kin laughed. Haku, however was cleaning out her ears from the unnecessary and very unpleasant cussing, but she was a hanyou who seemed to like killing people, especially Konoha people. Who was she to judge?
"Who's she?" Tayuya asked pointing to Haku. Kin smirked before releasing Tayuya's hold on her before turning to Haku.
"This is Haku Momochi. We're here to capture Oto in the name of the Namikaze clan. Tayuya we want you to join us. Trust me Tayuya, Orochimaru is gone and he is never coming back. Our leader has seen to that and the rest of this place is going to be Naruto-kun's country," Kin said never having the smile leave her face. Tayuya dropped her jaw while looking at her friend while she thought the girl was insane. The words 'Orochimaru' 'killed' and 'never coming back' were all never used in the same sentence before. It seemed more impossible than Tayuya to actually stop cursing which just wasn't possible.
"What have you been drinking Kin to make you believe that. I've been with Orochimaru all these years and the motherfucker has never come close to dying not even once. And this little group you have, I don't know how stronger you got, but your leader much be one hell of a fuckin idiot if he thinks he can take Oto," Tayuya said not noticing the glare she was getting from Haku and Kin.
"Tayuya don't you ever talk about Naruto-kun that way. Naruto-kun saved me from this life. Here I will show you something wonderful," Kin said and unhenged her appearance. Tayuya gasped at the fox looking Kin, but even backed up when she felt the immense chakra she was emitting. It was easily able to rival Orochimaru's.
"Kin how in the hell did you get that much power?" Tayuya asked her. Kin smirked and henged her appearance again.
"It's because of Naruto-kun that I can be this way. He's much more stronger than me that there's no comparison. The only one who could probably rival him is the alpha female of our compound, Shizune Uzumaki-Namikaze. Trust me Kin, Orochimaru is never coming back. Naruto-kun has assured us of that. Haven't you wondered why your curse mark was gone?" Kin asked while Tayuya widened her eyes at the revelation. Tayuya absently nodded while Kin placed her hand on Tayuya's shoulder.
"Trust me Tayuya, you should be with us. No one is more powerful than Naruto-kun. We are going to fulfill his ambition which is pretty much similar to one of Orochimaru's plans," Kin said to her. Tayuya raised an eyebrow at Kin's word, but the raven haired girl continued.
"We are going to destroy Konoha Tayuya. We're going to kill ever civilian and shinobi in it's ranks and watch it burn to the ground. Tayuya wouldn't you want to watch the fires blaze around Konoha and the streets filled with the blood of many people who died at our hands. It makes my blood boil each time. Well Tayuya will you join?" Kin asked as she extended her hand. Tayuya looked at the hand and back at Kin. She wasn't sure what to do, but Kin seemed so sure of herself and she had no reason to lie to Tayuya at least not one that she could think of.
"I still think your way of doing this is seriously fucked up Kin, but I'd at least like to see what I'm getting myself into before I make my decision so for now I'll go with you," Tayuya said with a grin. Kin nodded with a smile before the girls turned their heads to see Zabuza and Yagura come from around a corner.
"Well looks like we all made it," Yagura said to them. Tayuya tensed, but settled down when Kin placed her hand on Tayuya's shoulder.
"So what do we do now?" Haku asked since everyone knew that the village was in a state of complete alarm right now. Zabuza adopted a thinking pose and turned suddenly smirked.
"We are going to over them all a proposition. And if they deny...well then we'll just make it so that they don't," Zabuza said before everyone disappeared from view.
Naruto and Yuugao managed to catch up with Shizune, Kurenai, and Kiba, but since they were quite a ways behind it was already close to nighttime as the five made it to Kirigakure. Naruto recognized the gate guards and told them that he needed to speak to the Mizukage right away. The guards recognizing the person who helped them save Kiri quickly informed Mei Terumi of the visitors though Yuugao had on a suspicious look since she wondered about the connection between Naruto and the Mizukage. The team was suddenly allowed an audience with the Mizukage as they were escorted by Ao and Chojuro. Both guards wanted to say something, but Naruto stopped them when he softly pointed to Yuugao which they knew said that she wasn't apart of the group that helped them save Kiri, so the two stayed quiet.
"Mizukage-sama, the team from Konoha is here," Ao said as he opened the door. Naruto and the others walked to see a large stack of paperwork with Mei massaging her temples. Mei seeing Naruto's face wanted to hug him, but stopped when she saw Naruto's eyes moving multiple times to the right. Mei's eyes followed the movement and landed on Yuugao. Mei got the message from Naruto and gave a soft nod before placing her hands on the desk.
"Welcome Konoha, what can I do for you? I was about to send over the treaty for our villages," Mei said to Naruto. The blond hanyou knew what she meant and smirked that she was going to go along with what he told her, but gave a bow as did everyone else.
"Mizukage-sama, we were informed of the treaty, but Hokage-sama wishes to make some 'changes' to it so he sent us. It was at first only me, Kiba, Shizune, and Kurenai, but we got an anbu guard for an extra mission for dealing with our borders so we decided to bring her along," Naruto responded. Mei raised an eyebrow as she wondered what changes Naruto wanted to make to the treaty, but didn't bring them up since she would get her answers when they were alone.
"Alright Uzumaki-san. I'm sorry for having you come all the way out here. Please rest here from your trip and enjoy Kiri's hospitality. However, I would like to go over these changes with you in private if that's okay," Mei stated. Naruto immediately nodded with a smile and bowed along with everyone else as they turned to leave. Mei sighed and turned back to her paperwork simply wondering if she could just melt the entire stack into oblivion.
Ao and Chojuro brought Naruto's team to a hotel for them to stay in an were offered some deluxe accommodations. It was the same pairings as last time with Naruto, Shizune, and Yuugao in one room while Kiba and Kurenai were in the other room. Everyone sat on the beds before Naruto opened a mental link to them.
"Alright everyone. I'm going to talk to Mei in a few hours. We will probably stay here for two days then we will be on our way. We can't afford to stay here very long.
"Why not? Isn't it good that we got here?
"Yes it is, but I know two Akatsuki members are here. They aren't looking for me rather they are probably looking for Yagura. His 'body' was never found so their searching for him right now.
"So we can eliminate two Akatsuki members?"
"If I had to think, it might be one named Kakuzu and the other is Hidan. Both are immortal like us, but the difference between them and us is that one uses hearts from different affinities to live and the other is a Jashinist. They kill or sacrifice people to their god, Jashin. Whatever wound they inflict on themselves is sent back to others. You don't really have to worry about that. I don't need those two for allies, so you can kill them at your leisure,"
"Why? Would they be great allies along with the rest of Akatsuki?
"Well for one, Hidan a pathetic loser and I simply never liked him. Take away his little ritual and he's a regular human. How he's S-rank is beyond me. Kakuzu is simply a stealer. He only took techniques by putting the affinities in hearts. I don't see the difference between him and that damn teme, so you can handle them.
"Cool, I might get into the bingo book for this,"
"Alright well since Naruto-kun has made plans, let's all go to sleep. I'm sure we will be busy tomorrow," Shizune finished. Everyone cut their connection and their conversation stopped as they all went to bed since tomorrow might just get interesting for them.
"So we're here to find the body of the three-tailed jinchuuriki right?" a man with a triple scythe said while having a weird smile on his face.
"That's right, let's hurry up. I have another bounty that I want to do," the other said with his coat covering the lower half of his face.
"You and your damn bounties. This would be blasphemy in the eyes of Jashin-sama,"
"I don't believe in your damn pagan god. Just don't get in my way or I'll kill you,"
"Whatever. Let's just hurry up so I can sacrifice this guy to the great Jashin-sama," Both figures disappeared into the night as they passed Kiri's defenses without so much as a sound or disruption. However unknown to both, four people knew they were in Kiri. All four had smirks on their faces as they let the sleep claim them. Yep, tomorrow would be interesting.
A/N: I don't really have much to say to everyone except I have a new poll. I think I'm in the end of the mid stages of this story. Maybe 10-12 more chapters before I have Sasuke and Naruto fight it out. Other than that, I have a new poll up so people please vote on it. That's all, thanks. Later.
