Chapter 3: The Plan

"Jiraiya, do you realize how dangerous that notebook is," cried Tsunade.

"Yes, very," Jiraiya replied, "if the wrong type of person used this with a bingo book, they could wipe out an entire village in an instant!"

"Or the right type of person could use it to rid the world of criminals," Ryuk suggested out of the blue. The sannin pondered on what the shinigami said. For he was right. They very well could just simply write the names of the world's deadliest criminals and be rid of them once and for all. And they could start with the Akatsuki.

"I think I'll do just that," Jiraiya opened the death note while grabbing his pen.

"Are you sure you want to do this," Tsunade place a hand on Jiraiya's shoulder, "there could be consequences for using it."

"Tsunade, the Akatsuki have been after my student for years. They're rotten people who don't deserve to live." Tsunade thought it over.

"You're right," she agreed, "I'll go get you a bingo book." So Tsunade left the room. Meanwhile, Jiraiya thought about who he should kill. Orochimaru had died recently, so writing his name was out of the question. He couldn't kill Itachi since Naruto and the others were the process of capturing him to get close to Saskue. So Jiraiya wrote down the name of Kabuto, Orochimaru's right-hand man, in the death note. After all, God only knows what he could be up to. Then the sannin scribbled "Kisame" in the notebook.

Tsunade reentered the room.

"I got the bingo book and bookmarked an Akatsuki member for you," she handed the book over to the old man.

"Thank you Tsunade," Jiraiya opened the book to where it was marked. The pervy sage saw a picture of a man with long, blonde hair in a ponytail, wearing a black robe with red clouds. While looking at the picture, Jiraiya wrote "Deidara," as the caption in the bingo book read, in his death note. Jiraiya then closed the notebook.

"Well, that's all the Akatsuki members we know about."

"What about the rest of them," Tsunade asked.

"Well," Jiraiya replied, "I've tracked down the Akatsuki leader's hideout to the village hidden in the rain. I'll be going there to confront them."

"Are you sure you can take them on," Tsunade asked worried.

"Of course I can," Jiraiya declared, "for I am one of the legendary sannin of the leaf, and current owner of a death note."

"Plus he's got me by his side," Ryuk pointed out. This didn't make Tsunade feel any better. For Ryuk didn't seem like the trustworthy type.

"How about this then," Jiraiya tore a page out of the death note, "if anything happens to me, use this page to finish off the Akatsuki."

"Will it still work," Tsunade asked.

"Oh yeah, totally," Ryuk nodded.

"See," said Jiraiya, "it's fool proof!" Tsunade thought bout it.

"Okay," she took the page, "but please be careful."

"I will," the pervy sage gave Tsunade a thumbs up.

With that said, Jiraiya waved good-bye to his childhood friend, then left. Soon after, Jiraiya exited the village gates, leaving the safety of his home. At this time, Ryuk was flying right beside Jiraiya. The shinigami had a big smile on his face as the sannin walked.

"Oh boy," he thought to himself, "dropping my note in this world was the best decision I ever made! The shinobi of this world are all natural born Kiras!"
