So here are some things I forgot to put in the last chapter.
Title: Akatsuki for Hire
Author: ilikeswordfish
Fandom: Naruto
Rating: T for Hidan and his involvement in the story
Pairing: mystery (I don't even know)
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. It belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I do not mean to cause harm, confusion or headaches. Now on with the story
(Oh and this DDDDDDDDD will mean a scene change of some sort)
"So… what makes you appropriate for this job?" Spoke the cold voice of Hiashi Hyuuga. He was not intentionally cold, but he did not trust this rag tag group of twenty something's who had walked in claiming to be here for the job interviews. Did the only girl among them have, a Piercing? Odd, and in such an in-your-face place as well. And the tall one, Kakuzu was it? Was eyeing of the small statuette made of marble, and worth a small fortune? He was stirred from his reverie when the tall orange one spoke.
"You see sir we have each devoted the last five years training to become proficient in many areas, then for the last year or so we trained in the area that interested us most. i have a CV for all of us, if you're interested." As Nagato finished speaking he shuffled through his satchel and pulled out a small sheaf of papers, then flicked through them to ensure that they were what he wanted, with a small self-satisfied grin he handed them to Hiashi.
Hiashi opened his mouth as if to say something but just closed his mouth again and then said "This is an impressive wad of paper, but what have you done to prepare yourselves for this job?" with mild impressed-ness on his face
"Well, Mr Hyuuga, Sasori, head of intelligence, has read Ms Hyuuga's file that you sent us in preparation for this meeting. He has followed any leads available and tied of any loose ends. He has told us that Hinata need not know that we are her body guards here to protect her. We have come up with a back story for us to infiltrate her new school." Konan said speaking for the first time since entering the room. She spoke coolly and kept eye contact for the whole mini speech of hers.
"And this plan is..?" Hiashi asked, once again slightly awed that a group so... young, was taking this so seriously. Maybe after weeks of searching he had found the ideal group to protect his heir from the world.
"Well Mr Hyuuga, Kisame and I would be siblings, our parents would be a casual acquaintance, they just recently died in a car crash. With no relatives we would have to come and live with you, therefore allowing us to protect her whilst at home, and the rest of the group would be students. We would ensure that we each make friends with her, thus ensuring her safety out of the Hyuuga compound, and at social events." Konan spoke again for Nagato. She had just made that all up. Would he notice? He obviously didn't because a small smile played around his lips. One more push and he would be their future employer and gateway to a better future.
"Shall I introduce each member of our team, then?" Konan asked after a prolonged silence
Hiashi was shocked, and wanted to say that, hey wasn't he the one who was conducting the interview then noted that she had a small smirk on her face. Probably reading his mind in the way women always seemed to.
"Yes. I believe you should. "Hiashi said after a small sigh.
"Maybe I should explain how our team works. We each have a partner who we generally work with on jobs, because they give us a good balance of skills. So, first up is Deidara and Sasori. Sasori is our man for intelligence, but has reasonable skill with fighting; Deidara uses a… explosive fighting style, which is good for distracting the threat or disabling the threat. Next up are Kakuzu and Hidan, Kakuzu is the group financier, and is highly skilled with technology; Hidan is a fighter trained in the fighting style of brawling he generally is unarmed, but carries a scythe. He only uses the scythe if the fight becomes serious and the threat needs to be… eliminated. Kisame and Zetsu are the only other partnership in our group. I'll explain in a second. Kisame uses a sword that can generally be concealed under what he wears. Zetsu is the groups professional actor and is good in the field of infiltration." Konan finished, seemingly having not breathed at all the entire time she was speaking. How did she do that? It was impressive.
"That's not all of you, I only heard about three partnerships, and there are eight of you. What about you…Nagato …and Konan?" he said whilst raising an eyebrow.
Konan was about to answer when Nagato spoke up.
"you see sir, konan and I are behind the scenes planning and all that, but we can also pair up with any member of akatsuki because we are the jack-of-all-trades.
"thank you for coming today" he said whilst shooing them "I'll think about it."
Without a word they walked out. Out of the compound and down to where the van was parked.
"Akatsuki, Guys, come back!" Hiashi said whilst running to catch them.
"You guys are hired." He said with a smile.
"Excuse me?"
"You're hired, you got the job, you guys start on Monday." Hiashi spoke normally now he had caught up with them.
