A/N: The Power of Three, Naruto of Spira and Naruto the Parody will be the next updated, in any given order. I feel sorry for Hidan. He is still alive but in many pieces.
This is the remodeled Chapter Four.
I Do Not Own Naruto or BloodRayne.
Chapter 4 Akatsuki's Plans, the Spy and the New Mission
In a dark cave, eight figures stood around a platform as a plant like man appeared in the room, besides a man with grey eyes, spiky auburn hair and piercings covering his face. The said man looked towards the plant before speaking in a malicious voice.
"Zetsu, where is Hidan and Kakuzu?"
Zetsu flinched a bit before responding in a raspy voice. "They are gone Leader-sama. I have to devour their bodies to keep them from being used as evidence."
The leader narrowed his eyes hearing this. Though he may not have liked Hidan for his blatant disrespect, he was still useful. And without Kakuzu, they had all these scrolls full of ryo, but no way of opening them. Gritting his teeth and refraining from throttling Zetsu for devouring Kakuzu's body, he growled out. "What happened?
Feeling the killing intent laced in his words, Zetsu quickly answered to keep from ending up as a stain on the bottom of his boot. "They had all but defeated the Nibi jinchuuriki when a young boy with blonde hair with red streaks in it appeared. He single handily killed Kakuzu and tore Hidan to shreds before taking the Nibi vessel with him."
The leader's eyes narrowed even further at this. A child had beaten two S-rank nukenins. It was ridiculous, but he knew Zetsu did not lie. "Zetsu, what else did you notice about the boy?"
"Other than his sunshine blonde hair, he had emerald pupils and red on the outside. He had tanned skin with three whisker marks on his cheek. He wore pitch black and red clothing…"
"Whoa. Whisker marks you say." The leader asked as he heard this. Seeing Zetsu nod, he thought a bit more on this. 'Hm. Whisker marks on his cheeks. That the possession mark for a fox demon and the only fox demon I know of is Kyuubi.'
A small smirked graced his lips as he turned towards two figures, one near seven feet tall, the other more normal sized. "Fuguku, your target has been spotted. Take Kisame with you to observe him and if possible, capture him."
The smaller of the two men crimson eyes with three tomoe surrounding a black pupil nodded as a slight smirked developed on his face. He motioned for the large blue man with a gigantic sword on his back to follow him when Zetsu whispered something in the leader's ear. He nodded and spoke to Kisame and Fuguku as they were about to leave the room.
"But beware; it seems that he has learned the famed jutsu of Konoha no Kiroi Senko. Also from what was reported by Zetsu, it seems that your old friend Itachi and some person named Rayne seem to know him. And from what he had said, both are stronger than he is and he is extremely dangers for killing Kakuzu and practically ending Hidan's ability to ever do anything again."
Fuguku's Sharingan eyes narrowed as he heard this. He gritted his teeth tightly as he heard the deserters and turned around with his Sharingan spinning wildly. On the other side of the room, an energetic teen wearing a spiral orange mask stop jumping around and looked the leader into the eyes. The said leader started sweating bullets as he noticed crimson eye and knew he need to get everyone out of here.
"Everyone, you know your assignments, dismissed." The Akatsuki members quickly left the room except for the orange masked teen, the leader and a blue haired woman who was seated on a rock as she looked passively around. She glanced over towards the leader and noticed his worried face.
"Pein, what's wrong?" She asked, slightly nervous that something was getting to him. After all, he considered himself a god, and a god shouldn't be worried. Turning around to see what he was staring at, she noticed the energetic teen known as Tobi, though he didn't look so energetic at the moment. Not seeing him as the cause of Pein's worry, she looked around to find what was worrying him when Tobi spoke in a voice that was not his normal one playful one, but one with commanding authority.
"Pein, call them back. We can't go near the Kyuubi vessel yet with her around."
Pein nodded in fright and used his telepathic powers to contact the others. The women just blink in confusion as she had no clue on what was going on. After a few more moments of confusion, seeing that Pein wasn't going to say anything to her, she turned back to Tobi and decided to get to the bottom of this. "Okay, what the well is going on here? And what is with your change in attitude and why are you telling Pein what to do?"
Tobi slowly turned towards her and looked her dead in the eyes with his one visible eye. The blue hair female paled as she stepped back in fear as she saw a four tomoe Sharingan spinning wildly at her. "Konan, I will answer your question when the others arrive."
Konan nodded numbly and slowly scooted over to Pein, feeling unusually unnerved by the sight of his Sharingan. It was if he was searching through her mind through her eyes. Minutes later, Zetsu arrived shortly followed by Deidara and Sasori, mainly because Sasori couldn't move extremely fast in his puppet. After waiting for about fifteen more minutes Fuguku and Kisame arrived, looking confused to why they were called back. Well Kisame was Fuguku looked absolutely pissed.
Fuguku glared at Pein with his Sharingan spinning madly while Zetsu's eyes were examining Tobi with interest, having an idea of what was going to happen. "Speak quickly for I need to kill that traitorous scum I once called a son."
As he waited for an answer, Tobi stepped up instead Pein and spoke up in a voice that was most certainly the one they heard a few moments ago. "If you are in such a hurry to die then, go ahead."
His Sharingan eyes locked onto Tobi in glared at him, wanting to get this over. He was so fixed on finding and killing Itachi, he didn't even notice Tobi's different voice. Tobi looked over everyone in the room before speaking out loud to them.
"As all of you have figured by now, my name isn't Tobi. That is just an alias I go by to keep a certain person of my trail. My real name is Uchiha Madara, one of the founders of the Uchiha clan and the strongest shinobi to ever exist, even greater than that of the Yondaime Hokage." Fuguku narrowed his eyes at the young teen in front of him. It was ridiculous to think that this boy was the founder of his clan.
"Secondly, I founded Akatsuki but allowed Pein to be my active head to keep the same person from finding me. Now Fuguku, if you go after the Kyuubi vessel, you death is insured. Rayne is the strongest entity to ever exist. She destroyed my original body in attempt to keep me from reaching my goal of world domination."
Fuguku's eyes widen as he remembered the story of a women saving the Shodaime and slaying Madara in battle at the Valley of the End. "After she easily defeated me, I realized that I could not beat her on my own power. So I wandered the planet without a body for over sixty years, till I found Zetsu trying to revive a fallen Uchiha, one that was crushed underneath a boulder. He succeeded, but the body had no soul, allowing myself to take it over. For this reason, my power is nowhere near what it used to be, but make no mistake, I am strong enough to defeat everyone here and survive."
As his story continued, the others had to wonder. Orochimaru had the ability to claim new host, so it wasn't too farfetched. "Soon after my resurrection, I ran into Pein and defeated him. Once I did, I decided to make use of him and made him my subordinate and told him my plans. I knew that if Rayne were to find out I was still alive, she would come after me; therefore I used Pein as the figure head of Akatsuki. He gathered the strongest nukenin, money and a mercenary army to help my plan succeed."
Fuguku snorted at Madara, not believing a word he said. The fact that he hadn't been listening the majority time really didn't help. "Hn. There is no way you're my ancestor and the strong..."
He was instantly shut up as he was slammed into the cave wall as Madara his throat in his hands. Fuguku's skin paled to Orochimaru white as he noticed the four tomoe Sharingan spinning at him. But this wasn't what was frightening him. It was the fact that his lips were moved and he uttered one word that even the best shinobi feared.
"Tsukiyomi."
Within seconds, Fuguku was screaming in agony as his arms and legs flailed around, trying to break free of the genjutsu. Kisame backed up in fear and shock as he knew that was an Uchiha only genjutsu. After a moment, Madara let go of Fuguku and turned around as the former head of the clan slumped to the ground in a coma. Madara looked at the rest of the Akatsuki members with his one visible eye and noticed they were still reeling from shock of what he did. A slow smirk graced his lips under his mask before he spoke.
"Any more questions about me." The others quickly shook their heads letting him finish what he had to say.
"Now as I was saying before I was interrupted, I knew I couldn't take over the world on my own power. Even with the best shinobi wouldn't be able to take her down. As such I knew I need the power of bijuus to help bring her down. But I do not plan on using them on her since she can pick them apart, especially with the Kyuubi and Nibi containers with her now. I need to revive Beliar, the strongest being to ever live. His power was to be unlimited. And there is only one way to resurrect him."
"You have to reunite all nine bijuu around this statue, as this statue is where his heart is sealed so he would never become a threat for humanity again. The nine bijuu were born and/or created in order to protect this statue for the same reason. In the past Rayne defeated Beliar, but it was before he could completely revive and regain his full power. In essence, she barely faced five percent of his full power. His full power is double that of the nine bijuus combined."
"And from what I know from the stories, she barely escaped the ordeal alive. Granted she is much more powerful then back then, she is still no match for him once he is fully resurrected."
All Akatsuki members were still reeling from what he did to Fuguku were now in shock, besides Pein as he seemingly knew all this. They were going to resurrect a being even more powerful than even the strongest bijuu Kyuubi, who the founder of Akatsuki says wouldn't be enough to defeat Rayne by himself. Being the first to come out of his thought, Sasori looked towards Madara. "So what do you need us to do?"
Madara smirked as the others, one by one, nodded to what he said.
"Deidara, Sasori. You go to Suna and collect the Ichibi container. Kisame, since your partner is unable to do anything for now, I want you to collect the Yonbi vessel. It should be no problem since he is nothing but an old man. Zetsu, I want you to try and locate Sanbi and Gobi. After we get all of them we will go after the Nibi and Kyuubi containers together, so that we may stand a chance at as one. Pein you will stay here and act as the leader till then. Konan, heal Fuguku as fast as you can."
Everyone nodded and was about to leave when Madara spoke up once more. "Now before you leave, know this. There is a spy amongst us. There was a possibility that it was Kakuzu or Hidan, but after their deaths I doubt it. If you find out it is your partner, eliminate them before they give more information away. I do not like the gamma sennin knowing what we are up to. So don't let your partner go off to far by them selves unless dealing the bijuu or their vessel."
As soon as he said this, each Akatsuki member looked around at each other as distrust began to rise between them. Once they stopped staring, everyone nodded and rushed off to their assignments, unless they wanted to end up as Fuguku, who was being dragged off by Konan.
Naruto walked down the wide stone stair case of the mansion with Yugito following him. As they continued walking down, Naruto put his hand in front of his face so that the sun rays wouldn't bother his eyes. "Damn sun, go down already. You're annoying enough as it is."
As he rubbed his eyes in annoyance, he heard Yugito trying to repress her laughter, most likely from his statement. Naruto turned around and tilted his head at her a bit. After a moment of his staring, Yugito backed up, being some somewhat crept out by his red eyes and green pupils. "Um... Why are you looking at me like that?"
Once he realized what he was doing Naruto quickly turned away with a light blush on his face. Yugito blinked in confusion at him and now was staring at him oddly, trying to figure out why he was blushing. "Um... It's just you have a nice laugh."
Yugito blinked a few times and blushed very slightly hearing that, as she wasn't used to getting compliments. "T-thank you."
Once again, her growling stomach interrupted their bonding as it roared, demanding food. Both Naruto and Yugito couldn't help but laugh out loud as they headed towards the kitchen.
As they reached the kitchen, both noticed a black haired women sitting at the bar, reading a book as she took a bite of what looked to be a cooked flounder. After a few seconds, Naruto instantly recognized her from last night as Nibi no Nekomata. Yugito on the other hand was curious as to who she was. She leaned over on Narutos shoulder and whispered into his ear. "Is this your kaa-san.?"
Nibi with her excellent hearing easily caught what Yugito said and snickered a bit from it. Shaking her head, Nibi answered her with a slight smile on her face. "No kitten, or should I say Kat, I would be your former prisoner."
Taking a moment to digest the information, realization dawned on Yugito as her eyes widened before she ran behind Naruto and screamed. "NIBI!"
Of course Naruto had no clue what was going on so he did the only he could do, he sweat dropped. "Um... Why are you hiding behind me?"
Yugito looked up at him with as she whimpered in fear as Nibi looked at the scene, looking somewhat surprised and confused. Yugito clang closer to Naruto, hoping somehow he would be able to protect her from Nib. "She said she would eat me when she was released."
Nibi blinked as she heard this and placed her hand on her chin as she went to thinking as she obviously did not remembering say that. Then again, being chained up inside somebody for thirteen years would do that to you. As she was thinking, the memory flashed in her mind and she snapped her fingers. "Oh yeah! I remember that. I think I was in heat at that very moment, and I was extremely pissed that I didn't have a male container."
At this, Naruto sweat dropped and slowly started to back away from Nibi, knowing that cat demons would go in and out of heat constantly and had a tendency to viscously mate with the nearest male no matter the race. Nibi glared at him with her eyes twitching in rage. "I'm not in heat now mutt. Besides I can control mine better than most others."
Naruto sighed in relief at that fact as he was sure he didn't want to be mate as he was only ten. And the other reason he sighed in relief had walked into the kitchen, heading straight to the cabinet to raid the pocky stash. Itachi pushed Nibi off the chair, not caring who she was, and opened the cabinet and pulled out a few dozen boxes of pocky before cradling them in his arms like a baby. After a moment of hugging his pocky, he walked out of the room looking like a kid in a candy store while he ignored the twitching Nibi.
She glared at him before replacing it on Naruto, who in response just shrugged. "Don't ask me. Nothing gets in the way of his pocky. Hell he has pushed Kyuubi and kaa-san out of the way to get to it. I swear at times he would kill us if he could get a life time supply of it."
Of course this made Nibi twitch even worse before she stormed off to find and probably beat the hell out of Itachi. Naruto shrugged once more knowing she wouldn't find him and walked over to the refrigerator. He opened the freezer and pulled out six 18 ounce t-bone steaks before closing it up. This of course made Yugito look at Naruto with curiosity.
Naruto shook his head as he noticed the look and decided to enlighten her. "Your wondering why I'm getting six of them right." Yugito nodded her head as Naruto continued. "Simple really, I'm a hanyou and I need to eat real food, but as a dhampir I need blood to feed. So I normally eat rare steaks as they have enough blood to cure my thirst and it food to quench my hunger. Plus, Kyuubi will eat about three of them once he smells I'm cooking again."
Yugito nodded as she believed him as he spoke up once more. "It will take about 30 minutes for your steak to be ready, so you can do whatever you like, except no breaking anything."
Yugito nodded and was about to walk out when she realized she had no clue to where see was going. She took a look at herself and noticed she was still wearing the bloody and slightly torn clothes from her fight with Hidan and Kakuzu. She looked up and turned towards Naruto. "Um... where is the bathroom."
Naruto shook his head and chuckled at her response. "There is one right across from your room, the room you came out of, so feel free to use it." Yugito nodded and headed off in that direction.
Konan stood in a clearing about ten miles from the base and sighed as she looked around. They had let her out since she was the most trusted of Akatsuki along with Pein and Zetsu. They also knew not to stop her unless they wanted to face her wrath, which was displayed after Kisame tried to peep on her as she took a shower. After that event, they all learned to give Konan her own space unless the wanted to end up like Kisame, who had Samehada shoved up his ass...
Blade first.
She sighed one more as she looked around the clearing, as if waiting for someone. "I hate waiting for that perverted freak to show up."
"Someone call for me." Came a voice from behind her. Konan wheeled around with kunai in hand and held it at the man's throat, who was waving his hands passively at her. "Easy Akira, it's me."
Konan glared at him as she contemplated on just ending his life, but decided against it as she removed her kunai from the man's throat. "Don't do that Jiraiya-sensei. And don't call me by my real name. You now what would happen if they found out."
Jiraiya smiled perversely as he looked at her before nodding. "Well I am sorry, but I couldn't help but admire such a gorgeous women as you."
Soon as he finished his sentence, Konan had here kunai pointed at a much lower region and spoke in a deadly and serious tone. "If you ever use me for one of your books, I WILL castrate you and will enjoy every second of it."
His faced pale and nodded in fear as that was one thing he wished not to happen. Soon as he got over his fear of being castrated, he turned deadly serious as he looked at Akira's face. "So what has happened for you to call me out here so quickly, and personally I might add."
Konan sighed deeply before turning to look Jiraiya in the eyes. "You might want to get comfortable for this. This is going to be hard to understand and digest."
Jiraiya nodded at her before lying back on a tree and listened to Konan as she went over everything that had happened from Madara to how he was resurrected and how he created Akatsuki and their plans.
"So in other words, he wants to unleash a supreme being on Rayne, just so she can't interfere so he can take over the world." Jiraiya said with an agitated tone.
Konan nodded at Jiraiya's assessment as she looked up at the sky before looking back down at Jiraiya and gave him a glare filled with hatred. "Yes. Now tell me why you didn't inform me that MY son was living has been living with her this entire time."
Jiraiya sighed deeply knowing that she wasn't going to like what he had to say and was preparing himself for the second worse beating of his life. "Yes I knew where he was for a while now."
Konan's eyes narrowed as she heard this and quickly stood up from the tree and grabbed Jiraiya by his vest before slamming him against the tree. She snarled at him while glaring at him viciously.
"And you didn't tell me why." Jiraiya winced at the venom laced in her voice and the fact that she had him pinned against a tree, and a tree branch just happened to be going up his ass.
"I didn't tell you because he was safe and he was training to stop Akatsuki, and probably give Konoha a piece of his mind... or blade. And before you say anything else, he is Rayne flesh and blood. Her sister was Minato's ancestor. She had all the rights to take him away from Konoha, just as you did." Jiraiya responded while wincing in pain as he was pushed further on the tree branch.
"Bull shit! They wouldn't fucking let me near him after the sealing! Sarutobi did everything he could to have given Naruto to me! But that no fucking good council backstabbed him and forced him into a corner since the villagers agreed with them! The only reason he managed to keep Naruto alive was by saying the seal would break if he died before he turned fifteen!" Jiraiya winced at her words and held back his tears knowing it was true. And the fact that the branch was lodged deeply up his ass.
"Do you know what it is like to watch your own child being tortured like he was some kind of animal?! Why did you think I left that God forsaken place?! Most of the Anbu would have come with me if I didn't tell them to say behind and protect my child after the council tried to assassinate me! Hell, a few of them actually tried to take Naruto and come with me even after I told them to stay!"
Jiraiya flinched at her words and the branch, though he was glad it could go in much further. "I know that Akira. That's why both Tsunade and I left the village. Hell, even Orochimaru left the village under both Minato's and Sarutobi-sensei's orders, just to prevent something like this from happening. Or did you forget the council tried to assassinate him and nearly succeed if both he and Minato didn't come up with that immortality jutsu."
"We know that the village has become rotten. But there are still a few there that are worth protecting and saving as they have the Will of the Fire. And don't try to pin the blame on us. We each at one time tried to take him with us. Hell, Orochimaru came to take Naruto away from the village a few days after Rayne took him. Needless to say, he wasn't very happy and nearly went on a killing spree, though I think it was more likely in fear of your wrath."
After hearing this, Konan had settled down a bit but kept Jiraiya firmly pinned to the tree. "Alright, I let that slide for now sensei. But why not tell me that he was with her from the beginning?"
Jiraiya's eyes didn't show any other emotion other than pain as he bit his lip. Part of the reason being that he wasn't sure how she was going to react to this, and that he knew he would be receiving more pain. "It's because Naruto no longer holds Kyuubi."
Konan's eyes widen in disbelief before she slammed him further against the tree and the rest of the branch up the pervert's ass. Jiraiya winced more at this, but he spoke calmly to her, which was an impressive feet considering the pain he had to be in. "And because he is the first ever dual half breed to ever exist. He is both a dhampir and a hanyou."
Her eyes widened in shock as she lessened her grip on him and fell to her knees. Seeing this, Jiraiya took advantage of no longer being pinned and quickly destroyed the tree after he pulled himself of the damn tree branch of agony. Turning back to her, Jiraiya sighed deeply as he saw Konan looking at the ground in despair.
"They had no choice but to transform him to keep him alive, did they." Jiraiya nodded sadly at Konan who tighten her hands into fist before she punched the ground, leaving a decent sized crater, though nothing like Tsunade could have done.
After a few moments, Konan looked back up at Jiraiya with a look that promised pain and possibly castration if he didn't comply with her. "Take me to him."
Jiraiya sighed a bit as he shook his head and looked sadly at her before jumping out of Konan's reach. "No Akira."
Konan narrowed her eyes as they burned with cold fury as she glared Jiraiya in the eyes as she tried to grab him so she could torture him in a thousand ways till he agreed. "And why not?!"
The gamma sennin sighed sadly as he gave her a pitying look. He really did want to take her to him, but with the way things were at the moment, he couldn't for both of their sakes right now. "Because he is still not strong enough to take on Akatsuki by himself, if what you said is true. He will still need both yours and Deidara's help from the inside. Once we stop them, I promise you, I will take you to your son."
Konan stared at him angrily before she sighed deeply and looked towards the ground and nodded in understanding. "I'll tell Deidara once he returns from his failed mission in Suna."
Jiraiya nodded as smiled a bit at her and looked like his normally perverted self once more. "Well, it won't be a failed one if I can't get to Rayne and Itachi on time." He quickly went through a few seals and bit his thumb before slamming it to the ground to summon a large toad in armor. He jumped on top of it before turning back to Konan. "Ak… Konan, do what you can to disrupt them from the inside without being caught."
Konan nodded as Jiraiya raced off on his large toad. "I'll do my best... Jiraiya-sensei."
She sighed deeply as she looked up at the sky. 'Minato-koishii, please forgive me for not being there with Naruto...'
Closing her eyes, Konan outstretched her hand to reveal an origami bird, which began to expand into a much larger bird, one near the size that Deidara flew on before jumping on its back and flying towards the Akatsuki base.
It was about twenty minutes later as Naruto hummed lightly as he cooked the steaks. With his heighten sense of hearing and smell; he noticed Rayne had walked into the kitchen. He looked up at his mother figure and sighed lightly at her pale form and the slight crazed look in her eyes showing that she would drain a Turned of its blood within seconds. He absently wondered what would that would be like seeing that they were large and hard skinned they were.
Rayne turned towards Naruto and noticed that he was cooking and smiled a bit at him. "I'm going out to hunt. I'll be back in ten minutes. And if not, I'm probably enjoying myself."
Naruto blinked a few times at her statement before shuddering as he remembered the last time she went out and enjoyed herself. The entire clearing in the forest that she had been in, which was about a square kilometer in size, had every little inch covered in blood with a psychotic Rayne smiling in the very middle of it.
Putting that in the mentally disturbing category in his mind, he shook his head at her. "Kaa-san, maybe you shouldn't go so long without eating. I mean I know we don't have to feed that often, but still it's not healthy to starve yourself... and do what you did last time."
Rayne shook her head at him as she leaned against the window. "Yeah, yeah. I'll try, though I'm not guaranteeing anything. I love going on those rampages. And please stop calling me kaa-san. It makes me feel old...er."
Naruto shuddered again as he started to slowly inch away from Rayne. Shaking her head at him, Rayne quickly jumped out of the window and headed deep into the forest.
Sighing as he turned back to the steaks, Naruto had to feel sorry for any living creature, human, animal, vampire or demon that got in her way. Because there would be no surviving for them. He sighed again as he looked at the steaks and took his two rare steaks off the pan as he continued cooking the rest.
A few minutes later in a very eerie looking clearing, Rayne was draining the blood of a very unfortunate low level vampire. She bit down harder as her eyes glowed unnaturally as she drank the blood seeping from its neck. As she finished draining the vamp, she heard a large crash from behind her and quickly turned around and snarled at it only to sigh in annoyance seeing how it was.
"What do you want pervert? You never come unless it's extremely important."
Jiraiya nodded as he jumped off of Gama and dusted himself off before looked Rayne dead in the eyes. "Well, it is. Very important. The truth behind Akatsuki." Rayne narrowed her eyes a bit as she waited for Jiraiya to continue. Shaking his head, Jiraiya sighed before asking her a question he knew would bring up bad memories for her. "What do you know of Uchiha Madara?"
Rayne's eyes widen as she heard his name and memories of the two of them flooded her mind. Closing her eyes so she didn't have to see them, she answered in a subdued tone. "He was my lover until he started sleeping around trying to build his clan to greater heights and tried to take over the world. I couldn't let him do so, so I killed him."
Jiraiya nodded a bit and noticed Rayne's tone and he knew this was going to be hard for her to accept. "He's still alive."
Rayne's head snapped up and glared demonically at Jiraiya. "That is not possible. I cut him into hundreds of pieces, and then burned his body to make sure there was nothing left."
Sighing deeply, he looked at Rayne pityingly. "You destroyed his body, not his soul, so he survived till he managed to resurrect himself. I know it's true since my inside source found out he is the true leader of Akatsuki." Her eyes narrowed at this and glared deeply at Jiraiya with an eerie glint in her eyes, but didn't speak as Jiraiya as continued on. "Did you ever tell him anything about Beliar?"
Rayne nodded as he continued glaring at the super pervert, but now with a confused glint in her eyes as she had no clue where this was going. "Yes, I told him of my fight against him and how I was lucky that he wasn't anywhere near full power. I doubt I, or anyone else could win if he was at full power. Even with the strength I possess now, I doubt I could stand up to a third of his full strength."
Jiraiya nodded before sighing deeply as he had already figuring that. "Is it possible for him to be revived?"
Thinking about it for a moment, she nodded at him. "Yeah, if someone managed to get all bijuu..."
Rayne's eyes widen as realization hit her like a ton of bricks. He face hardened as she knew this wasn't good. "He wants the bijuu to resurrect Beliar. That damn fool! Beliar can't be control!"
Jiraiya nodded sagely as he figured that himself, seeing as a being like Beliar being controlled was laughable. "I figured as much."
She sighed deeply as she rubbed her temple. "After reviving him he will come searching for the scattered pieces of his body to regain his full power. His left eye is mine. It has been activating on its own recently, so I'm guessing what they are doing is causing it."
"More than likely. They are heading to Suna and Kiri to collect Ichibi and Yonbi at this exact moment." Rayne nodded as she figured this much and was about to run towards the mansion when Jiraiya stopped her. "You know she wants to see him right."
Rayne froze in her tracks as she looked towards the ground sadly. "Yes. Ever since you told me she was alive and her situation, I've know she wanted to. I've also been trying to get Naruto to stop calling me kaa-san. Ever since I started telling him to do that, both Kyuubi and Itachi have been looking at me strangely, as if I know something and that I'm keeping them out of the loop."
Jiraiya nodded as it made sense before shaking his head.
"Alright, I'm out of here. I have to feed false information to the council. Things have gone straight to hell when they assassinated sensei. They haven't even elected a new Hokage seeing that they like having the power to control everything. They even declared Naruto an S-class nukenin, but at least none of the hunter nins beside the new ones crossed Naruto's name off the list, refusing to go after him, other than for protection since they all took Akira's words to heart. If things keep going the way they are, there is going to be a civil war between the council and the Anbu."
Rayne nodded as she had seen as much on her trips to check out what was going on in the hidden villages. "I know."
Jiraiya nodded a bit before jumping back on Gama and rushed out of the forest, not wanting to stay there any longer as Rayne used her Stop Time ability and head towards the mansion at a frightening pace.
At the dinner table, everyone had sat down and started eating. Both Kyuubi and Yugito were devouring their steaks at a frightening pace Itachi munched on his pocky while Nibi glared at him, wanting to grabbed the stick and shove it down his throat.
In an instant, they all jumped up as Rayne busted into the room with a dead serious look on her face. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at her hardened face as she began giving out orders. "Naruto, you and Nibi are going to Suna to extract the Ichibi container."
At this Kyuubi jumped up with his eyes narrowed. "You know that isn't a good idea. For one thing Shukaku won't listen to me, two his vessel is a strong as Naruto if he transforms and three, Akatsuki won't be going after him for five years."
Rayne glared at him before saying something that made him and Nibi's heart stop for a moment. "You know of Beliar."
Kyuubi's eyes widen and shut up instantly as Nibi hissed loudly at the name. Naruto had no clue what was happening, but he knew of Beliar from Rayne's stories. Rayne looked at all three of them as she spoke slowly.
"From what I just learned from Jiraiya, that resurrecting him happens to be Akatsuki's goal besides that of world domination. As of now, we need to collect the other bijuu before they do. That's why Itachi will be going to get Yonbi's vessel and I'll be going to collect Gobi. You will stay here and train Yugito on how to use her some of her demonic powers."
Yugito looked confused at everyone as she had no clue on what was going on, but spoke lightly. "Um, why is Kyuubi training me? Wouldn't it be better for Nibi to do it?" Even though she was still weary of the Nekomata bijuu, she didn't understand why Kyuubi would be the one training her.
Rayne shook her head at her. "Kyuubi can train you just as well if not better in some of your abilities. The Nekomatas and Kitsunes have some similar powers and he can and will teach you how to control your fire affinity while Nibi is gone. As for why I am choosing you to go with Naruto, Nibi, is that I need to see if we can trust you. I know Naruto can't beat the Ichibi container if he releases it, so that's were you come in."
Nibi looked at Rayne for a moment before nodding, understanding Rayne's reasoning. I mean why would she trust someone that she barely knew for less than a day. Yugito nodded a bit at Rayne's answer as it did make some sense. As everyone was getting up to get ready, she sniffed the air and noticed a difference between Naruto's scent and Kyuubi's.
"Wait, then why doesn't Naruto smell like a fox since he was Kyuubi's vessel a while back?"
Nibi scoffed at her as she looked at the said person. "It's because he's not. Somehow during the transformation into his dual half breed status his demon blood, which should have been kitsune, combined with the vampiric properties. As a result Naruto is not a kitsune but an Inu. Don't ask any of us how because we don't know ourselves as it's never happened before."
Naruto nodded as he knew this already and since he had to train with Gobi for an entire year. He shivered at the memories before shaking his head as he turned to Rayne. "I guess you want us to leave as soon as possible."
Rayne nodded at Naruto statement making him sigh as he rushed upstairs to get his equipment. After a few moments, he arrived at the front door to see everyone else besides Nibi was gone. "Hurry up mutt. It's bad enough I had to be paired with you as it is."
Naruto growled deeply at her, making her she seem all the more delighted. "Now, now. Let's go. I want this done as fast as possible."
Growling a bit at her, he nodded as he muttered under his breath. Nibi glared at him heatedly as she had heard it perfectly. "What was that?"
Naruto quickly shook his head as he open the gates and rushed off into the forest leaving Nibi gritting her teeth before she raced after him.
