Hey. It's 10/15/10 today and I want you all to know that I could have not done this without all of you, Thank you!

Chapter 14

"He shouldn't have let her leave…He could have protected her while he was fighting the Uchiha…Who knows what is happening to her right now! Why? Why her!" he thought as the only Minamoto left alive started to run towards her scent and began to transform…

Karakuto and his team, 2:00 a.m. …

"So let's see…Kisame…Itachi…" Karakuto looked behind him at the playful Tobi playing patty cake with the only female member of the team…"Hehehe…Tobi…Well, that just leaves 6 more Akatsuki members to go. You guys ready?" Karakuto asked his team. He looked at his team as he turned around and noticed that everyone was ready except Tobi and his new playmate. Karakuto was not one that wanted to split up the duo but then again right now was not that time to play around. He walked to the two and looked down at them. The ANBU was the first to notice something was not like it was before.

"Is it me or did it just get darker?" She thought as she kept playing with her new friend. She then noticed that Tobi started to mess up and miss her hand movements.

"Ha! I win Tobi! Nice try though…" She said.

"Ugh…Marina…" Tobi began as he started to stand up.

"Yeah Tobi?" Marina, the ANBU that was soon to be in trouble, asked.

"I think its time to go…" Tobi said as he stood up completely. Marina looked at Tobi and then noticed why it got darker. She slowly turned her head and put on a nervous smile. Karakuto just laughed and started to move to the center of the village with the ANBU following close behind.

Serikuna 2:16 a.m. …

"Something's not right…Every branch I'm passing by has long claw marks and every tree as I move deeper in the forest starts getting bigger and bigger claw marks until they are totally broken…Wait…" Serikuna stopped suddenly and crouched on one knee. She looked closer at the marks and removed her long glove from her hand. She then started to run her soft, ungloved hand on the deep claw marks. She then got a brief flashback of what had made the claw marks…She quickly put on her glove and began to run towards the direction of where Gakuto headed.

"If Kagome knew what was headed towards them, she would have wished she never met Gakuto!" Serikuna thought as she ran even faster.

Kagome in Tsukuyomi (Time unknown)…

"Die Itachi Uchiha!" Kagome yelled as she raised the kitchen knife over her head. She was about to thrust it down on Itachi's neck when she felt a switching movement. Now she was the one on the ground and Itachi stood over her with the long sword pointed to her neck. Kagome looked at Itachi with pure hatred. She had taken longer than she wanted to stab the man that killed her family and caused her so much pain. Itachi then started to run his sword along her neck, causing her to yelp in surprise and pain as the action caused her neck to rise reflexively. He ran the sword right to left and deep enough so it could bleed but not enough to kill or leave a notable scar. Kagome got even angrier as he smiled as he did this.

"Bastard! You're going to pay for what you've done! Just you wait!" Kagome thought as she kept looking at the man. She then got surprised when Itachi disappeared. Before he disappeared though, he had a surprised and then questioning look. Kagome tried to get up but everything turned black again.

Itachi's and Kagome's location…2:20 a.m.

Kagome was strong but she wasn't strong enough to break his genjutsu. He was, though, distracted by what happened next. Kagome started to glow white and green for a long, bright minute. What surprised him next was just plain weird. Kagome no longer had her leaf village uniform on. But now she had a white and green school uniform. He was about to go into Tsukuyomi again to ask what did she do when a movement in the trees caught his eyes. He held on to the limp Kagome in one hand and prepared a fireball jutsu with the other. When it was finished in no time flat, he waited 5 more seconds before he unleashed it into the trees in front of him. The fire burned everything in its path and went in about what looked like 30 ft into the forest. Itachi had not noticed anything suspicious and threw the still limp Kagome Higurashi over his shoulder and turned around to meet the eyes of another Uchiha, Madara Uchiha.

"So I see you're a little jumpy Itachi…And I also see that you were able to get the girl, nice job…Now hand her over." Madara told Itachi, eyeing him. Itachi stared at Madara and then looked down to the head of Kagome. He thought about what to do and was about to throw her to Madara when there was another noise. This noise didn't come from one direction though. This noise came from above, behind, all around them, and even under them. The noise was a low, sinister growl.

"What the hell is that?" Madara asked no one in particular. Itachi and Madara started to look around them in the tall, almost 60 ft., some even reaching amazing heights like 100 ft., trees when they noticed a pair of red eyes staring at them. The eyes glowed red as if it glowed from inside the eyes which made it more frightening. Both Uchiha were surprised at the level of charka coming off the thing in the trees. They both took a step back as the thing made the most evil, hungry, and scary smile they have ever seen. The smile was wide and massive, almost as big as a tree in the area. The smile was just down right scary. Wide, sharp teeth lined the smile and the Uchiha's almost booked it when the thing took a step toward them, enough to shake the ground. The thing took another step towards them and this time reveling its gigantic paw. The paw itself was the size of a bus a, black, and furry bus. The hairs on the paw were standing up in a pointy way (Like when you spike up your hair) and looked like it would cut and stab you if you touched it.

"Itachi, you got this right?" Madara said as he ran off. Itachi then noticed a slight change in weight. He looked at his shoulder and noticed that Kagome wasn't there anymore. He looked at his shoulder with a blank face and was going to laugh nervously when the thing in the forest used its paw and swing it at him. He was not expecting it and he went flying through the forest, making a HUGE sonic boom and making a long dust cloud in the night.

Serikuna, a few miles from Gakuto's location...

Serikuna was getting closer and closer to Gakuto's location when a sonic boom caught her off guard. She stumbled on her footing and fell to the ground below, unable to stop herself, as she fell to the earth below…all 60-100 ft. of it…

Karakuto and his team heading toward the center of the village…

The earth below them rocked as they ran towards the center of the village and they could clearly hear and see the sonic boom and dust cloud respectively.

"Be safe my friends…" Karakuto thought as he motioned for his team to keep moving towards the center of the village.

Serikuna, deep in the forest…

"Ugh…what was that just now?" Serikuna asked a she started to feel the pain in her bones again, which meant that they were fractured not broken. "It felt like a sonic boom…with some immense source of energy behind it." Serikuna tried to stand up but she immediately fell down, with an enormous pain in her left leg. "Damnit! Ahhh! It hurts…" Serikuna seethed in pain as she reached over to her fractured leg. She sat on her good leg and put her left leg on her right one, so now she could see the damage herself. Her eyes began to glow white behind her mask as she looked through her armor, skin and finally finding the fractured bone. She tried to heal it but if she did that, her power would be drained and she would need as much of her power if she was going to help Gakuto, Kagome, and the others. But she couldn't just stay there either so she started to look around for something that could help her stand. The only thing she saw was trees and vegetation. She looked deeper with her advanced sight and she looked around for anything that may be well hidden in the vegetation. She saw what looked to be a large log and started to crawl over to it because of her left leg being fractured and she couldn't stand without help. She reached the log with minimal effort and began to look at the log, seeing if it was wide and big enough. She then looked inside and saw it was hollow but the other end was covered up by something. She reached inside and felt what seemed like hair. She moved her gloved hand across it and took her hand out as quickly as she could and started to crawl backwards. The log then started to rise into the air. Serikuna almost lost it when she saw that the bottom part of the log, the thing that was blocking the other end of the log, was actually a human being.

Serikuna yelped in surprise as the thing mumbled something. She then heard what the thing was saying.

"Get me out of this thing Damnit!" it yelled inside the log.

Serikuna stopped laughing and tried to get up she got on one leg and started to move towards the human. She got a hand on each end and with the help of the other person they were able to take of the log from the human's head. Serikuna then looked at the 'human' as it opened its black eyes. Its skin was blue and looked like it had scales.

"Kisame right?" Serikuna asked at the Akatsuki member. He looked at the person that said his name but only saw a snake's mask.

"ANBU. This shouldn't take to long… and look! Her leg is broken so this means it wouldn't take that long." Kisame thought as he raised his sword from behind him and brought his sword down on her head.

Kagome and Madara Uchiha 3:00 a.m. …

"So what the hell was that back there? It had so much charka…Was it the Nine-Tails? No it couldn't have been because when I tried and control it with my Mangekyo Sharingan and teleport it to somewhere else, it just got angrier and took a step forward." Just then he heard and felt the sonic boom, "What the hell?" Madara stopped and looked around him. He didn't sense anything and he didn't know exactly where he was. He started to run again when he reached a much bigger clearing than he was before. The area was massive in size and was probably big enough to fit a small village. He began to walk forward with the girl on his shoulder when he felt a sudden violent breeze. It felt like a small hurricane went by. And then there was another gust of wind followed by a thunderous wolf howl. The howl was so loud that it made Madara cover his ears and drop Kagome to the ground. The howl also was able to wake Kagome up from her trauma state of trance in the Tsukuyomi world. She began to move on the ground and immediately held her ears in pain. She had heard the howl and could tell it was extremely close. She started to stand up when she noticed she wasn't in the other world she so much frightened about. She looked around and saw it was almost early morning in a massive clearing. She also noticed that she didn't have her leaf village uniform. She instead had her school uniform from Tokyo.

"What the…what's this? When did I change? I thought I burned this so I didn't have to remember my past and my family…" Kagome thought as she started to look at herself and run her hands across her cloths to see that she wasn't seeing things. She then noticed a man that was getting closer to her. He held onto one of his ears as he stumbled to walk towards her. She immediately saw his red eyes and moved away from the man, no way was she about to trust an Uchiha. He was about to take another step when something swung at him. He went flying but he was able to catch himself a few yards away from Kagome as he started to stand. She looked to her right and almost screamed at what she saw. The thing that made Itachi (she doesn't know about him yet) and Madara Uchiha fly, and probably broke some of their bones, was a gigantic, black and red wolf. The wolf was probably a couple of feet bigger than Inuyasha's father, if it was standing up, and looked mad as hell. He first looked at the Uchiha and then turned its giant head towards Kagome. Kagome looked at the giants head and noticed designs on the forehead and muzzle. The designs were red themselves, with the designs going around its eyes and making a long 'U', with the long parts extending towards it nose. On the forehead was a red circle. She looked at the circle more and noticed it was a New moon design. The wolf had piercing, blood red eyes that would make the bravest of men run. The fur was completely jet black and spiked up, which was probably because of all the energy and anger that came off of it.

Kagome took a step back and the wolf took an enormous one forward. It then began to lower its head and was mere inches from her. Kagome also noticed that the hairs on its fur started to lower themselves and the wolf started to get calm. Kagome looked at the wolf's eyes and slowly raised her hand and started to run her hand over its long, surprisingly soft, hair. The wolf then started to hum in approval and happiness as Kagome kept petting the giant wolf. The wolf's ears suddenly shot up and turned to its right. The wolf then raised its head and immediately jumped in front of Kagome as a giant fireball was shot at both of them. The wolf made a low growl at the man that made the fireball as it shook of the ash of its midnight black fur. Madara wasn't going to leave without killing the only being that could stop him, even if it meant getting pass this beast and reaching to the girl's neck just to break it in two.

He threw some very fast kunai at the girl, hoping it would hit her but the wolf used its massive head to take all the damage. The girl looked on in amazement as the wolf kept protecting her.

"Why is this wolf protecting me?" Kagome thought as she kept looking at the wolf and the Uchiha. She didn't know who he was and she didn't know who he was when she woke up but she knew he was an Uchiha and because of what Itachi did, she wasn't in a very good mood with any Uchiha, well maybe except Sasuke. She noticed that the Uchiha tried to put on a genjutsu on her but before she was caught in it or stop the genjutsu, something came in front of her and wrapped itself around her, blocking her view of the battle but not the noises.

Serikuna and Kisame…

The birds in the trees got spooked because of the loud slashing sound. Kisame looked down at the small pile of scales on the ground as if it wasn't that much of an effort to kill an ANBU but as he looked up at the female ANBU he thought otherwise. She moved out of the way the last second but was unable to move all the way, therefore, her shoulder's armor was cut almost half a hands size deep. She cringed in pain as she knew that the attack would leave an enormous bruise tomorrow.

"That's some amazing armor miss. It was strong enough to take some scales off my sword…Too bad it doesn't cover your entire body though…" Kisame said as he regained his composer. She looked at Kisame that was getting closer and preparing to swing at her again when she used her gold claws to block the attack. She looked at Kisame and noticed he was smiling. She wondered what was so funny until she felt it, not saw it. Her fractured leg gave way to Kisame's weight and strength. She screamed in pain as she fell to the floor and landed on her leg, the fractured one. She tried to get up but couldn't because of the immense pain coming from her leg. She then started to slide away from Kisame as she couldn't move her leg. She hit something solid behind her and noticed it was Kisame. She looked up at him and then looked back at the other Kisame in front of her.

"Damn…water clones. I should have known he would carry at least some water with him." Serikuna thought as she looked up at Kisame. He swung his sword down and she rolled to her left. She hit a tree on her ribs and she grunted in pain. She then noticed a small shiny thing within her reach. It was a small golden box that had dragons for handles.

"Aha! What luck! It's the Golden Little Dragon or whatever Karakuto called it. Now I can use this to help me out!" Serikuna thought as her spirits rose and her hand reached the small wish granting statue. She flipped around, sat up on the tree's trunk and she held the object near her stomach when she noticed something was off. She looked up and noticed that there was only one Kisame but he was on one knee and looking at the object on her stomach.

"Hey that's the wishing thing right? So that means…Oh your with that other wolf ANBU huh? My bad here let me help you up, miss…?" Kisame asked.

"Aneway, (a/n: said as it sounds, ahh-knew-way) Serikuna Aneway, and yes it is the wishing thing, and yes I'm with the wolf guy. Speaking of the wolf guy, have you seen him around?" Serikuna asked as Kisame helped her up and put her arm over his shoulder.

"Actually, to tell you the truth Ms. Akneway, the last place I saw him was when he was about to fight with someone. After that we took the girl to a safe place and then I was ordered by Itachi to go out and guard the surrounding area. I wasn't out guarding more then 20 minutes when I was hit by some sort of sound and I went flying into a tree. The tree broke off before I hit it with my head and then got it, instead, in the tree, funny huh? The last thing I remembered was you helping me out of the log, sorry about trying to kill you and all…" Kisame said helping Serikuna get even more comfortable.

"Its all right Kisame and yes it is pretty funny…" She said as they stared at each other and laughed. After they laughed they heard a tremendous wolf howl.

"Let's head that way ok?" Serikuna asked. Kisame looked at her like she was crazy. "You want to head to the direction of that thing?" He asked. Serikuna nodded and got ready to move. Kisame shook his head in disapproval but followed her orders to the letter and started to head towards the noise of the howl.

Madara, Kagome, and the wolf 3:30 a.m. …

Madara Uchiha got frustrated with the dumb wolf's tactics of blocking his attacks for the sake of the girl. He unleashed his Mangekyo Sharingan and tried to focus it on Kagome but the massive wolf was in the way, not only that but the wolf knew what he was trying to do so it covered Kagome with its tail completely. The wolf, though, could not move from its position unless it wanted to leave the girl wide open. So it kept looking at Madara's Sharingan and took whatever the Uchiha threw at him. The wolf itself did not feel pain but it still could be hurt. It looked at the Uchiha one more time before it threw its head back and took in a deep breath through its nose. Madara didn't expect what was coming next so he just prepared his best defense and used the Space-Time Ninjutsu. But no one noticed Kagome crawling out of the wolf's tail and going into the trees. The wolf then threw its head forward and let out a bigger, stronger, and more effective howl that broke the sound barrier again and making a sonic boom that could have killed anyone in its path, breaking the trees behind Madara for what seemed like miles, and making Kagome cringe in pain as she continued to move in the forest. The howl itself lasted for 4 and half minutes, almost to the limit of Madara's Ninjutsu.

Madara lay on the ground as he started to put his body in this time. The wolf looked extremely angry but looked as it was fatigued so Madara decided now was the time to try and take advantage. He started to get up and began his most powerful attack: he began to absorb the wolf. The wolf tried to lie down and move back but the absorption was too strong and the earth underneath began to get loose and fly into the Uchiha. The wolf was about to loose all hope when he noticed something behind his enemy, Kagome. The wolf made a move toward Kagome but he looked at the Uchiha. If he moved toward Kagome he would be absorbed into him but if he didn't move, and the Uchiha noticed Kagome, she might get hurt or even killed. It growled in disappointment and kept tying to pull away from the absorbing power, trying to get the full attention of Madara. The wolf and Madara were surprised when the Ninjutsu stopped. Madara looked behind him and noticed the girl he wanted to kill so badly, Kagome Higurashi had an empty bow with no arrow on it. Madara looked at the bow and then at the exhausted girl and then at his gut. He had an arrow in his gut and his eyes began to widen as there was a pink, bright glow coming from the arrow head. He then started to disintegrate and he howled in pain. He watched on as the wolf moved beside Kagome. He knew it was pointless to do anything so he used what little time he had to say something that he hoped he could accomplish but probably couldn't.

"You think you are so safe behind that giant mutt of yours but just you wait Higurashi…I will be back…and next time your dog won't be there to protect you." Madara said as he disintegrated completely but before he did he used his Mangekyo Sharingan again and used it on Kagome. Kagome didn't expect it and neither did the wolf. Kagome was caught in the Tsukuyomi again but this one was worse, much worse. Kagome's pupils disappeared, leaving only her chocolate brown eyes, and her eyelids got heavier, but didn't fully close them. Her body went limp and was about to fall when the wolf used its muzzle to catch her. The wolf lowered her to the ground and then started to whine. It knew what was wrong but knew it couldn't do anything at the moment. So it did what most canines did when their masters where hurt, it started to whine even louder and licked her arm and face with its big pink tongue. Its eyes turned blue and its fur went soft and silky as it began to transform back…

Serikuna and Kisame…

"Were closing in on the last location of the second sonic boom…did you here the howl in it?" Kisame said jumping another tree and trying his best to put all the weight on his left side so Serikuna didn't make the leg get more fractured.

"Actually yes I did." Serikuna responded as she looked at her leg. It was bad but she didn't want to admit it, but her leg was starting to get infected. She looked in front of her when everything turned brighter and noticed they reached a clearing. The clearing was in a total mess and looked like a tornado went through it. Some of the ground looked extremely awkward, like it was forcibly pushed or sucked into something. There was also huge paw prints on the floor and some trees missing from one end of the clearing. They both landed near where they broke into the clearing and started to look all around the clearing. They both noticed a figure hunched over another figure. The figure that was on the ground didn't move at all and Serikuna could tell it was Kagome because of her uniform from the present, but that was the strange part. How did Kagome get the school uniform without going to the cave or castle? The other figure had a black and red cloak on it. Serikuna and Kisame started to get near the duo and noticed the other figure was a sweating Gakuto. He had both of his hands on Kagome trying to heal her. Serikuna lowered herself and told Kisame to look for his partner, Itachi. He followed orders and went back into the forest. Serikuna then looked at the broken trees and ground on the right of Gakuto.

"What happened here Gakuto" she asked as she got closer and looked at what kind of damage Kagome had.

"I transformed to save Kagome but even after I got her back that blasted Uchiha used his Sharingan to trap Kagome in an endless Tsukuyomi. I hope that bastard is burning in hell right now." Gakuto explained as he kept on trying to heal Kagome. Serikuna knew that Madara Uchiha was now dead and knew what kind of trouble Kagome was in. But nothing could be done. Serikuna laid her gloved hand on her brother's shoulder and spoke to him in the kindest, softest voice she could.

"Gakuto…she's gone. Just give up…she'll never get out of this, she's basically in a deep coma and unable to get out of it." She tried to explain. Gakuto kept trying as he started to lose even more energy. He then spoke in a soft, but very nervous voice. "I know I can do something, I can try the wishing statue!" Gakuto reached into his cloak inner-pockets but didn't feel anything but the bottom of the pocket.

"Damnit! I must have dropped when I started to transform…" Gakuto stared on as Serikuna took out the statue and hand it over to him. He thanked her and tried to wish for Kagome's return but nothing happened. Gakuto tried again but the same result happened.

"What the hell! Why won't it work?" Gakuto yelled as he threw the thing to the ground as hard as he could. It landed with a clang and stopped near Serikuna which tried to wish on it to but nothing happened. She was about to tell Gakuto that it was over when something pushed her away from her brother and friend. She regained her composer and noticed a barrier around Gakuto and Kagome. She then noticed what he was about to do and yelled at him with disapproval, "Gakuto! What are you doing! If you do that you will be killed! Not only that but she might be too! Gakuto!"

Gakuto was smart to put up a barrier or else Serikuna would have killed him herself for what he was about to do. He added another barrier for protection and a sound proof one between the other 2 barriers. He got on his knees and put his hand on Kagome's forehead and the other on his heart and started the forbidden technique. Gakuto began to say some words that where untranslatable, an old mystic language, and he started to glow pure white, while Kagome started to glow all the colors of the rainbow. Gakuto did this for about 10 minutes and then used an understandable dialect.

"We, Gakuto Minamoto and…Kagome Higurashi willfully give our immortality to the Kami's to reawaken the human Kagome Higurashi…Know Kami's that now that we no longer have our immortality we are willing to give our spirits to you when our time comes…I pray upon the Kami's to allow the life of Kagome Higurashi to continue and not be taken away until death. I pray for this to come to fruition as I am using the Forbidden Technique!" Gakuto had finished the incantation and felt a jolt of immense pain go from his legs that went up his spine and into his head. He looked down at Kagome and saw that the incantation worked as he wanted, as she started to blink.

"I hope my brother and sister can understand that this isn't a job anymore…I've now gotten too emotionally involved in this procurement. Hehehe…I guess Kagome and Serikuna are going to scream their heads off when this is over. Well at least she's safe…Huh, I guess I have to thank you Kagome…for teaching me how to be a human and have these emotions."Gakuto said to himself as he blacked out and fell on Kagome's stomach. Serikuna looked on as her brother fell on her friend and his barrier broke down one by one. She then hastily crawled to her brother and friend with deep concern for both of them.

The leaf village…

Hidan and Zetsu were in the west side of the village, Deidara and Sasori were in the east side, Pain in the North and Konan in the south. They were all instructed by pain to do as much damage to the village while looking for the Nine-Tails, a specific group of ANBU, and a girl named Kagome Higurashi. They had not met much resistance and had looked through almost all the village when they felt and heard the sonic booms and howls of what sounded like a wolf.

East side of village…

Deidara and Sasori had just blown up another group of buildings when they heard the first sonic boom. At first they thought it was just a massive explosion from one of their bombs or their comrades but the howl and the second sonic boom convinced them otherwise. They looked at each other and followed procedure. They headed to the center of the village.

West side of the village…

Zetsu was the first of the two that heard the sonic boom, being part plant and able to sense things in the ground. Hidan then heard it and they both looked at each other.

"What the fuck was that?" Hidan asked.

"I don't know, probably Deidara messing around with bigger explosives…" Zetsu said. Hidan just shook his head and kept destroying buildings until he heard the howl.

"Again, What the fuck was that?" Hidan asked irritated.

"I don't' Know but it sounded like a wolf's howl." Zetsu answered. Before Hidan could make a response or comment, the second sonic boom came. Before Hidan asked what that was, Zetsu just shook his head and pointed at the center of the village.

"You really got to stop asking stupid questions Hidan..." Zetsu said as he sprinted to the center of the village. Hidan just laughed and followed his partner to the center of the village.

"And Hidan," Zetsu began, as Hidan looked at him to continue, "You really got to stop cursing so much…" They laughed as they got closer to the village center.

South side of the village…

Konan walked through the empty streets as wind blew through her light blue hair. She hadn't seen a single living thing all through the attack, not even an ANBU. Frankly she didn't care. She wasn't the type that wanted to kill anyone anyways, so she was glad that she didn't have to kill anyone as of yet. She then heard the first sonic boom. She looked behind her as the sound came from the South and waited to get attacked but nothing happened. So she then jumped up on a roof nearby and looked at the south side of the forest surrounding the village. Nothing. Not until she heard the howl of a wolf. She stumbled back out of pure surprise.

"What could have done such an enormous howl? I better report this to Pain." Konan was about to move off the building when she felt the second sonic boom. This time she didn't expect it to be so late and she stumbled on her footing. She regained her focus but stayed on her toes just in case of another boom.

"I have a feeling that I am going to do something important today. Strange." Konan thought as she headed to the center of the village.

North side of the village…

"Huh…Pathetic. Not even a single nin in this damn village…" Pain walked through the silent streets as every house he passed by exploded. He didn't care what happened to the people inside as long as his missions were complete. As another pair of houses explodes, a sonic boom rocked the earth. Pain looked toward the south were the sound came from.

"What the hell was that? Was it the Nine-Tails? No couldn't have been…I better get to the center of the village. They are probably waiting for me right now…" Pain thought as he walked to the center, not ran like everyone else. Not until he heard the howl and second sonic boom did he start to go from walking to sprinting to full out running. He didn't want to be the last one heading towards the center; he was of course, the 'leader' of the Akatsuki. As he passed by more houses, they started to explode again. As he went through a familiar street he didn't notice the Ramen Shop, Naruto loved so much and had blown up a bridge instead.

30 minutes later, in the center of the leaf village…

The remaining 6 Akatsuki members all landed at the center of the leaf village at the same time as they knew of what each other heard and felt. No one said anything until Pain broke the silence.

"We all know what we heard and felt. I suspect there is another jinchuriki near the village and that means we will have two jinchuriki and not just one, so there has to be a new plan…" Before anyone started saying anything a giant, green barrier surrounded them. They all looked at each other and started to walk to different parts of the barrier.

"What the fuck is this?" Hidan asked as Zetsu looked at him and just shook his head as Hidan laughed.

"It looks like a barrier…and by the looks of it, it is real tough one too." Sasori said as he inspected the barrier without touching it. Hidan just scoffed and hit it with his fist. He then felt an enormous shock of pain. He stumbled back as he held his fist.

"What the fuck? This thing won't go down!" Hidan yelled.

"That's why I didn't touch it dumbass…" Sasori said shaking his head. Hidan looked at Sasori but was in no mood.

"So how do we get out, huh?" Konan asked as she sat down on the ground and leaned on the barrier. The strange thing was that it didn't shock her like Hidan, and Pain noticed this.

"Why isn't Konan being shocked Sasori?" Pain asked. Sasori looked at Pain and then at Konan. He then noticed that she was leaning on the barrier. He walked toward Konan, which started to get up when Sasori motioned for her to stand still. He reached Konan and tapped the barrier behind her. He wasn't shocked but the barrier fizzed a bit. He then had an idea but he wanted to make someone else try it, just in case it didn't work and what he expected happened.

"Hidan, hit this part of the barrier." Sasori said. Hidan walked over to the other end of the barrier and used a more then needed charka behind his fist. Again he was shocked.

"Son of a bitch! Is that what you wanted to see?" Hidan said as he backed away from the barrier. Sasori then told everyone what he had in his mind.

"This is not a normal barrier, its some sort of anti-violent-shock barrier that keeps its occupants from using violent acts, such as aggression. Well we stuck in here until the maker of this gets here or runs out of charka." Sasori said.

"I don't we have to wait that long either, look its Kisame!" Konan said as she stood up and pointed at the end of one street that met the center of the village. At the end of the street, which was very dark because of a cloud blocking the moon, was what looked liked Kisame, with the long cloak and giant sword on his back. He even had that freaky smile when he thought something was humorous. He then disappeared and everyone in the barrier looked at each other.

"Were is he un?" Deidara asked looking around the barrier for any sight of his comrade in arms. Everyone looked around and noticed an increase in charka above them. They all looked up to see what looked like Kisame still smiling.

"Hey! Kisame get us out of here you lazy ass!" Hidan yelled as he prepared to get out of the barrier. Kisame still didn't do anything but smile at the occupants in the barrier.

"Uhh…guys…I don't think that's Kisame…" Konan said backing up. Everyone tried to focus their eyes more when they had a little help from the moon. The Akatsuki members looked up at the man on top of the barrier smiling down at them. He sort of looked like Kisame but the man had a bigger sword then Kisame and had a green and silver cloak on. He had long white hair and had an ANBU mask of a tiger. He was taller than anyone in the barrier and maybe taller than anyone in the village. He then cut a hole in the barrier with his finger and jumped through it. The hole then closed again and became whole again. The Akatsuki members then backed away from the unknown person but still outnumbered him 6 to 1. Each member thought the same thing. "Who the hell is this?" As if he read their minds he answered.

"The answer to your question is I am Karakuto Karyo and I will be your new teacher slash friend." Karakuto said. Every single member in the Akatsuki looked at him with pure confusion, but of coarse it had to be Hidan to break the silence with his loud mouth.

"What the fuck do you mean new teacher slash friend? Your not my friend, so buzz off you stupid human ANBU." Hidan yelled as he ran towards Karakuto and was stopped by Karakuto. He used his gigantic sword and created pure havoc with it. He hacked, slashed, stabbed, and cut Hidan with amazing speed. To every member in the Akatsuki it just looked like a big, black blur. When Karakuto was finished he put his sword back were it was before, behind his shoulder, and looked as if nothing happened. Hidan looked at himself and noticed he had more then 100 cut and slashes across his chest and upper body and they all hurt like hell. He then began to scream in pain when he tried to heal himself but didn't work.

"You bastard, what did you do?" Hidan said holding onto his abdomen out of pure pain. Karakuto just shook his head as he looked at Hidan.

"I used a special…Damn," He then looked at each member at the Akatsuki and looked at Konan. He then laughed at himself for what he was about to say.

"What is that thing you guys call it? It's a type of energy in the body…Come on Konan you know this, you all know this…or are you just that stupid?" Karakuto laughed. Konan started to think the guy was serious so she helped him out.

"I think the word you're looking for is…Charka." Konan answered. Karakuto looked at Konan and smiled. Konan, out of habit, smiled back and blushed a bit.

"Nice job Konan." Karakuto laughed. "Now were was I, oh yes, I used a special kind of charka that allows me to disable all your techniques and skills, which sucks for you Hidan." Karakuto explained. He laughed at the face Hidan made and continued to observe the group surrounding him.

"So what is it you really want?" Pain asked Karakuto. Karakuto faced Pain with no fear and bluntly stated: "I want you to join me and my team and follow our orders to the letter or face destruction or as you put it here, death."

"Do we have any other choice?" Pain asked as he prepared a paper bomb. Karakuto already noticed this but didn't make a move.

"Well you can go to a maximum security facility, or in other words, jail." Karakuto said with a smug look behind his mask.

"Well we can't let that happen right everybody?" Pain said as he threw the paper bomb at Karakuto and every man in the team headed towards Karakuto for a close quarters attack. Karakuto just smirked and put his hands together. Time seem to slow as the Akatsuki members walked slower and slower until they fully stopped. Karakuto then walked through the group and hit each man on the back of the head, enough to knock them down because a nerve reaction. Down but not out, just like Karakuto wanted it for now. Karakuto, after he hit the last one, noticed a slight movement to his left. He knew that he left one person out of the time-space misplacement patch but he needed to talk to her so he had someone on his side during this intervention. Karakuto looked up at the only female member of the Akatsuki, Konan, and simply asked one question.

"Will you help me out with this Konan?"

I've read some reviews and happy that some of you did review. And to answer someone's question, Sakura is helping the villagers get to the Minamoto castle and will make a scene in the next or 2nd next chapter. Thank you all and please review after you have read this. I'll start writing the next chapter tomorrow, October 19, 2010.
