Shikamaru's POV

I was going to get revenge for what Hidan and Kakuzu did to Miki. I had Team Asuma except for Asuma. He was busy with Kurenai and her pregnancy. We were at the front gates before we could go, someone interrupted us. "Where are you guys going?" Miki said.

I turned around and looked at her now dull blue eyes. "We are going to go after Hidan and Kakuzu." I said. "I want to go to then." She said. I was surprised. I didn't think she would want to come with us. "Are you sure you want to go?" I asked.

She now had a anime vein on her forehead. "JUST BECAUSE I'M BLIND DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T FIGHT!" She yelled. "Ok. Ok. I was just making sure." I said and then another figured showed up. It was Tsunade. What a drag! "What do you guys think you are doing?" She said.

"We are going to go after the Akatsuki members. I already have a plan made." I said with confidence. "You can not go unless you have a jounin with you." Tsunade said. I saw Miki smile. Why is she smiling? "Tsunade." Miki said. Tsunade looked at Miki. "What is it, Miki?" She said.

"You forgot that I am a jounin and an Anbu. I can go with them." She said. She's an Anbu and Jounin. I don't remember her telling us that. Unless I forgot, but I guess we are lucky then. "Fine, but you three must watch her." Tsunade said and Miki pouted. 'I don't need to be babysat by people my own age!" Miki yelled, but Tsunade already left.

We were now going towards where we heard Hidan and Kakuzu's whereabouts. I told the team the plan to isolate them. "Here." Miki said while handing us something. "What is it?" Ino asked. I smiled. She's smart. "This is a syringe. If you have the chance, put Kakuzu's blood in it. Just in case if Hidan tries to hit you with a scythe, you can use Kakuzu's blood." She said.

I nodded. "She's right. This way Hidan would destroy his partner leaving only him, which I can deal with." I said.

Miki's POV

I really didn't want to go after the Akatsuki, but they are a threat to the village. Even though they treated me like family, I can't have them hurting my friends. We had arrived and we saw two figures up ahead. It's Hidan and Kakuzu. We landed close enough to let them see us.

"Are you guys here to get revenge on us?" Hidan said. They didn't notice that I was there too. I walked up and I felt their face muscles move meaning that they were surprised that I was there. "How are you guys?" I said. "Fine. Just fine." Kazuku said.

Just right after that, we started our battle. Shikamaru was to fight Hidan once we had gotten Kakuzu's blood. Some of us were badly injured. Especially Ino, she was panting and covered with scratches. I went up to her and started healing her. "Thanks, Miki." She said. "No problem." I said.

Shikamaru and Ino were fighting Hidan while Choji and I were fighting Kakuzu. I had a better chance to get closer to him then the rest. I had not used my doujutsu yet, I could sense where everybody was. I did some hand seals, I was forming my Chidori. I went towards Kakuzu and punctured him right through his heart.

He has five hearts. Four more to go. I quickly pulled out my syringe and got some blood. He kicked me right after I got his blood. I flew a few meters away from him. "MIKI!" Choji yelled. I was able to get back on my feet. "I'm fine." I said. I did a hand sign behind my back.

It was a sign that would tell the others if we got the blood. Kazuku noticed what I was doing and came up to me and started a taijutsu battle with me. I didn't have time to give the syringe to Shikamaru or the others. I pulled some punches and kicks, while he dodged.

Kazuku punched me right in the stomach and I flew towards Choji. We both fell on the ground. I suddenly felt familiar chakra signatures. A few more minutes and they will be here. "We have to hold for a few minutes!" I yelled. They seemed confused, but just did as I told them.

Shikamaru and Ino tried their best to fight Hidan.

Naruto's POV

We were heading towards the place where Team Asuma and Miki went. By 'We' I meant Team Kakashi except for Sai and Miki. "How long before we get there?" I asked Kakashi. "Just a few more minutes." He said. "Let's hope they can hold them off long enough until we get there." Sakura said.

Kakashi smiled. "Why are you smiling in this situation, Kakashi-sensei?" I said. Sakura noticed it too. "I know they will hold them off, especially Miki." He said. I was going to say something, but I kept quiet about it.

**Time Skip**

We were just a mile away from the Miki and the rest. "I feel their chakra. Ino is injured the most, but so is the rest. Miki is also hurt but not as bad as the rest. She didn't take much damage." Sakura said. I was relieved that Miki wasn't hurt that badly, but it looked bad for the rest.

"Let's hurry." I said. We sped up our pace and we finally reached them. I can see Shikamaru and Ino fighting a guy with a scythe, while Choji and Miki was fighting another guy. We landed in front of them.

"NARUTO!" Miki yelled. Before I could do anything Miki went in front of me and she was hit with the scythe. "MIKI!" I yelled.

Miki's POV

I felt Naruto's chakra closer now and finally they were here. I heard them land right in front of us. "NARUTO!" I yelled as I hear Hidan's foot steps heading towards him. I went in front of Naruto and I got hit by the scythe. "MIKI!" Naruto yelled.

I fell backwards and I felt someone's arm catch me. I felt the scythe slowly be pulled out. I used my sleeve to wipe the scythe and I spilled Kakuzu's blood on the scythe before anyone could notice it. "Miki! Are you ok?" Ino asked. "I'm fine." I lied.

I felt pain all over my body from the wound. I started to cough up blood. "Sakura. Help heal me before my wound gets infected.' I said and I started to heal myself. Sakura came up to me and she started to heal me too. I was heal in no time, but I still felt the pain.

"Let's get this over with." Naruto said. I walked over to Shikamaru. "I placed Kakuzu's blood on the scythe." I whispered to Shikamaru. "Sakura! Go fight Hidan with Shikamaru. The rest will fight Kakuzu, we will need more people to battle Kakuzu." I said. Shikamaru used his shadow to hold on to Hidan and they headed somewhere else with Sakura following them.

I sensed the chakra of the people I had left. There's Kakashi, Naruto, Choji, and Ino. Ok. We can do this. I stood in front of them. "Kazuku has five hearts, each containing a chakra nature. I already destroyed one heart that contained lightning chakra." I said. "How do you know this, Miki?" Choji asked.

"You will find out sooner or later. Right now, you don't need to know." I said. I heard the vibrations of Naruto making a clone. He had now mastered his new jutsu. I smiled. The jutsu was now ready and Naruto threw it towards Kakuzu. "Rasen Shuriken!' Naruto yelled.

It missed Kakuzu. "Naruto! You need to practice your aiming with your new jutsu." Ino said. I was a bit worried about Naruto. I had activated my Byakugan to see Naruto's jutsu. Rasen Shuriken is injuring his arm. The more he uses the more damages it takes on his arms. Naruto was making another Rasen Shuriken and this time I felt it hit Kakuzu.

It didn't destroy one of his hearts though. "Naruto. I'm proud. You finally completed your new jutsu. Just don't use it too much." I said with a smile. He just nodded and we all charged towards Kakuzu. Kakashi had pulled his headband up to reveal his Sharingan. I deactivated my Byakugan and activated my Sharingan.

Sakura's POV

I was helping Shikamaru fight Hidan. I heard that if Hidan gets a hold of your blood you're finished. I was worried about Miki since he had her blood on his scythe. Shikamaru seemed calm. How can he be so calm about this situation?! Hidan licked the blood from his weapon and Shikamaru smiled. "Why are you smiling, brat?' Hidan said.

"You'll find out soon enough." Shikamaru said. I was confused. What is he talking about? Hidan started to form his ritual circle. Shikamaru was doing something too, but I didn't know what. Hidan had now finished his circle and he stepped in it. His skin changed colors. His skin was now black and white.

He impaled himself. NO! Shikamaru didn't even move, instead he was smiling. I looked up and saw wires around us. "Just to let you know, the blood you just ingested wasn't Miki's. It was you partner's blood." Shikamaru said. No wonder he was so confident.

**Time Skip**

We finished fighting Hidan. He was in a whole buried beneath piles of rocks while cursing.

Miki's POV

Our planned work. One of the hearts got destroyed. I used my Thunder God Jutsu and instantly destroyed the rest of the hearts. "Miki-chan how did you do that?" Naruto asked. "It's a jutsu from the Fourth Hokage. The Third Hokage taught it to me." I said. I was falling and someone caught me. I looked up and saw Kakashi. "You should rest. You did use a lot of chakra." He said.

I nodded. "Thanks Kakashi. Also sorry that you have to carry me." I said before I fell asleep in Kakashi's arm.
