Tamako could admit a lot of things, she's honest to herself and those around her. Cruel when needed, gentle when called. It's almost in her nature to pity anything. To the horror stories of the Elemental Nations to the little bird who quite didn't quite fly high enough.
She eyed the clipboard on her lap, reading the words carefully. It was a psychology check-box. She was worried for her mental health recently, and while [Gamer's Mind] kept her calm and collected, she's been feeling deader and deader on the inside. Good acts made her feel warm, horrible acts did not make her cold. So what exactly is wrong with her?
Being a murderer, well…That's her job.
Possibility of sociopathy, well that's something she's been off putting for awhile. Nothing a little white-lie couldn't hurt. What matters is that her motive is for the greater good of everyone.
Repeat violator of the law, pervasive in lying and deception, physically aggressive, well all of these attributes is something required in her particular line of work. Reckless disregard for safety of self. Well, all of this just sounds like a normal shinobi.
Yeah, if she got hurt, she could heal herself or sleep it off. Not many could just sleep off with a nearly severed arm, tourniquet it and wake up fully rested and healed.
Consistent irresponsibility in work and family environments.
Well, she did technically quit her job as a Suna kunoichi and she cut off all of her 'family' and friends, her only companionship being missing-nins alike.
And especially.
Lack of remorse.
This, was what she was worried about. Back then, every murder she committed as a Shinobi of Suna was justified. Bandits ravaged the countryside and needed to be put down, missing-nin were hazards and she was protecting the village with each slice, each drop of blood. But after losing that idea of what she was protecting, each murder felt more and more unjustified. She needed EXP, that's true, but was it right to cut down enemies for the sake of numbers that only she can conceptualize? Every time she killed someone she didn't really feel anything. Just the normal "Oh they needed to disappear for the sake of the world."
And despite all that, she still doesn't feel any guilt.
Sure, if she hurts someone she's close to, she feels something. The death of Itachi, the insanity of Sasuke, the stress of Kakashi. But the thing is, if she met her former teammates or friends on the opposing side, she wouldn't hesitate to end their life. They weren't present in canon, their conversations with her were lackluster and she quickly quit ties after her promotion of chunin.
But if she was told to end Ino's life, she hesitates, she thinks. She'd feel remorse.
But what if that's only because they are important in a world that has yet to be completed?
Oh well.
. . .
From her little own little personal grape-vine, she watched in vivid detail as Gaara attacked Deidara at Sunagakure, sacrificing himself to shield his city from an impressive bomb that honestly shouldn't be in the hands of a nineteen-year old, but what can you do about it?
It came to her as a surprise when Pein summoned her to a discrete location, one just a little ways off from Sunagakure and deep into the heart of Kusa. By a lake marked by a massive red torii gate. There's a boulder with a simple paper seal in the middle. The boulder seemed to be mechanized with the correct chakra sequence, making the user move it at will.
She slowly signed through the correct sequence, and the boulder moved aside with enough space for the younger girl to squeeze in. She's early, of course she is. This is the first time in a while since Pein had summoned her, and she knew exactly for what.
They needed chakra to extract Shukaku, and they can't be so picky. Her reserves are not so bad, nothing like Kisame who's monstrous chakra-reserves are nearly equal to a seasoned Uzumaki. She's been serving Pein as an informant, and he knew that she knew a lot of the Akatsuki, this summon would let her get a deeper grasp of the infamous group while he put a leash on her.
It was an equivalent exchange, and she'll take it.
She carefully eyed the Gedō statue in the middle, all ten-fingers into the air that had projections of the members she's been carefully taking note of. At her presence, the projection of both Pein and Konan turned to her, with Pein's voice echoing in the cave.
"Good you're here." He turned his head, "Stand on the left of the fifth digit."
She nods and jumps into the air, landing softly on the Gedō statue's left pinky. There, she spots a ring, it's a darker cerulean with the characters that mean sky and void. Next to it, is the infamous cloak.
+220 Relationship with the Akatsuki!

"Don the cloak and ring. We begin the extraction once Deidara and Sasori arrive." Pein says this with a light scowl in his voice, upset that the two artists haven't arrived yet. They were late, but Tamako brushed his attitude away.

She slides the ring into her pinky, watching the ring size down like magic. Some sort of seal perhaps. She can feel Pein's chakra course through her system, and she lets the ring infiltrate. Learning her chakra, memorizing and even imbuing herself. She accepts this leash. Then, she inelegantly shoves herself into the cloak, it's a little too big and drags on the ground. She ignores the smirk that Kisame gives her just a few feet away to her right and folds the fabric.
Akatsuki Cloak - Rare (Equipable Cloak)
- Will draw aggro from enemies immediately when spotted

She's always carried extra thread with her, just in case she ripped her outfit, but it was finally coming in handy. With a crystal needle she conjured, she waved her finger in circles, watching lazily as the folded fabric was sewed together, shorten its length to a few inches above her ankles. The large rimmed collar, she finds, is a bit annoying, so high that it nearly covers her eyes. With a huff, she shortens that too and zips down, just low enough where her slashed hitaiate can be seen wrapped around her neck as if it would deter any knives to her neck.
It's not very form fitting, but it'll have to do. She does enjoy the oversized sleeves that hide her one-handed signs.
Not long after, the boulder slides open once more, before shutting and sealing completely. The cave is incredibly dark and by streaming just a little bit of chakra to her eyes, she could make out the silhouettes of Deidara and his clay bird, as well as Sasori to his side.
"You're late." Pein says, "Place the Ichibi Jinchūriki on the ground, and we can finally start."
Deidara waves off the leader but obediently flickers to his position, Sasori following. Pein forms a few hand signs, with the rest following the same. Tamako copies and feel's the ring guide her chakra. Slowly, Gaara rises to the area, his comatose body denying gravity and his mouth opened into a silent scream. Red chakra escaped from both eyes and mouth, feeding the Gedō statue. Its eyes creepily open slowly, glancing around the room before slumping once more.
Tamako forced herself not to shutter, and continued to feed her chakra to both the ring and statue. It's a delicate procedure, one where she needs to fluently glide her chakra and mold them to the rest of the group.
It takes all of her concentration to memorize the steady stream, equalizing her output and guiding it slowly into the larger stream that Pein created himself. Then, it's easy.
Once in a while, the members speak up to kill the silence that permeated the cave, their voices distorted from the projection. First, it begins with Hidan complaining, his chakra faltering as he loses patience.
Kakazu's steady stream becomes static-like as he berates his partner, and Pein cuts in to stop the Zombie duo from messing up the process.
Three days, three nights.
Once in a while, she sees a few members leave for just a few minutes, returning back from either a meal or bathroom break. At the sixteenth hour, she pulls out onigiri and snacks on it. At the nineteenth, she takes a break to relieve herself.
By the third day, she's absolutely bored and feeling chakra-strained. Her output wasn't so high where she'd feel exhausted, but tugging on one's coils continuously for several days on out without a long break meant she felt the strain. Tamako stays quiet and unassuming, not voicing her displeasure before returning her attention to the statue, then to the rest of the members. Hidan yawns, Kakazu seems irritated somehow. Kisame looks bored, but not fidgeting, diligently his hands clasped together in a sign. She turns her attention, snapping towards Zetsu who breaks the fragile silence.
"An enemy is nearing the hideout." Zetsu announced, his voice bellowed sounding a bit disoriented.
"An enemy, you say?" Deidara says with interest, glancing at Zetsu.
"And a highly skilled one at that." Zetsu continues, his eyes narrowing. "His name is Maito Gai."
"Who's that?" Pein finally speaks, his voice commanding an answer, but laced with interest.
Tamako chose this moment to finally speak, "Might Gai of Konohagakure." She offers, "He's a Jonin level shinobi who specializes in Taijutsu." Itachi nods at her words and adds his own two cents.
"He's a clever operator. Don't underestimate him."
The Kisame to her side seems to chuckle, his large shoulders shaking just slightly as interest peeks through his eyes, "Aah, that freak of freak beast, huh" She's not surprised someone like Kisame was the first to offer to fight.
"We'll use that jutsu." Pein continued.
"In that case, I'll go... I was getting tired, I had no fucking luck for finding those beast bitches."
Kisame cuts in, "No, I'll go. I have something of a personal quarrel with him you see..." His smirked grew even larger while his eyes gleamed.
Tamako would like to go, it would be nice to see the Konoha Shinobi after years of radio silence. She wondered what they would think of her, siding with the Akatsuki and taking part in this kidnapping, and murder. Would they look at her with those betrayed eyes? Would Naruto forgive her in his state of Kyuubi infused anger?
She grinned, but stayed silent.
"I see. That jutsu is more suited to someone like you among the Akatsuki, you are more heavily loaded with chakra, Kisame"
"Yes..." Kisame trailed off, chuckling a bit.
"Even so, I'll keep thirty percent of your chakra."
Hidan grunted in distaste, unhappy of not being chosen.
"My my, it looks like I'll be getting some payback for that kick he gave me." His eyes turned to the girl. "Any other information I should know about, Little Miss?"
Tamako paused for a moment, talking carefully now that she was the center of attention and ignoring his nickname for her. "Maito Gai is physically strong and fast. Unpredictable at some times, but he has a set of basic moves he rotates between. I would watch out for his technique called Eight Gates, it improves his stats to the extreme, but at the cost of his health." Then breathed deeply, her eyes calculative and continued, "Most likely, he would be with his former Genin Team, now promoted. A Hyuuga, a weapon specialist, as well as his own pupil."
She tilts her head to the side, "If my information is correct, Hatake Kakashi and his team are also in pursuit. Expect one of Hatake's ninken, be wary of trying any ambush."
The shark-man nodded slowly, preparing himself for Pein's jutsu when Zetsu spoke again. "Another guest."
"It's a bit noisy this time, isn't it Deidara!" Pein glared at Deidara, his Rinnegan piercing through the young blonde who nervously responded.
"W-well, the Jinchuriki was stronger than the other two...hm."
"I told you from the start, didn't I." Sasori responded, annoyance laced in his voice. "Your jutsu wasn't suited for covert operations."
"Heh! I'd say your traps were pretty loud too, weren't they? Hm!" Deidara said, feeling smug.
"What!?" Sasori stepped and growled, itching for a fight.
"Stop fighting among yourselves! Concentrate on the Jutsu!" Pein added chakra to his voice, amplifying even more in the dark cave. "Now then, who shall we send next?"
"This fucking time is my turn, no doubt."
"Another Konoha shinobi." Zetsu added his cent.
Both Tamako and Itachi shared a glance, silently agreeing.
"Damn it!" Hidan muttered under his breath.
"Tamako shall join Itachi. The two will go. With Tamako's knowledge and Itachi's skill, both will buy us plenty of time." Pein nodded once more. "It's been decided."
The two mentioned missing-nin nodded and closed their eyes, feeling Pein's chakra pull the two apart from their bodies and inserted into another. It was an uncomfortable sensation, being ripped out of her own body but the foreign body that now housed her spirit slowly converted it into a familiar one.
She opened her eyes, meeting a quaint forest filled with trees that seemed to touch the sky, beside her, Itachi. He, too, was frowning at the sensation, but he seemed to breathe much easier, no longer being tormented by heavy lungs and a heavier heart.
Tamako turns to the older Uchiha, "Don't use any Mangekyou abilities, just show it to intimidate them. We just need to buy a little time for Pein."
He nodded back, and the two to the main path. It only took a few more seconds until the infamous Team 7 stopped at their tracks.
Kakashi's eyes widened before skidding to a stop, raising an arm to the side, "Everyone, halt!"
She stood side-by-side with the Mass Murderer, and cocked her head at them.
They never found her, haven't heard a lick of her until now. Joined with the Akatsuki, attacking the village and stealing her old friend. Tamako licked her lips, she wondered what they thought of her.
Konoha Shinobi seemed to wear their heart on their sleeves, and Naruto was no different. His eyes widened, tracing her figure. From her hair, to her eyes, down to the slashed hitaiate and the fresh cloak. "Out of the blue..." Kakashi muttered, his eyes narrowing at the missing-nin's form.
"That guy, those eyes... and that girl..." Lady Chiyo spoke with a scowl. She had recognized the girl and held no love.
"You're..." Sakura trailed off, with Chiyo finishing her sentence.
"Itachi." Chiyo gathered the groups attention with her next words, "Ah, so he's the brat who killed his entire clan." Then without mercy, "And Suna's very own traitor." She spat that word as if Tamako herself murdered her only child.
"It's been awhile, Naruto-kun, Kakashi-san." Itachi was everso calm, his velvet voice was clear and held no anger. It sounded as if he was greeting some old friends, not the enemy shinobi they would have to team up against.
"You bastard...! Not just me, but Gaara too!" Naruto's face squirmed into a disgusted look, pointing at Tamako, "How could you target a friend!"
Tamako grinned, waving cheerfully and dragging her oversized sleeves with the motion, "Long time no see, Naruto." She acknowledged Kakashi with a chirpy senpai before turning to Sakura with a bigger grin. "You got us all wrong. Me and Itachi? We didn't attack the Ichibi. We're just following orders."
Unable to contain his anger, Naruto's eyes turned red and red chakra bursted from his body, he no longer could see reason. "I'll destroy you guys!" He believed her act, this was fine. She needed this.
At Naruto's words, Itachi's eyes bled red, his three tomoe spinning beautifully. Kakashi responded by lifting his headband, revealing his red eye.
"Everyone! Don't look directly in his eyes, it's dangerous."
Kakashi has learned from his mistake, suffering torture from Tsukiyomi three years prior.
Her mind ran rampant, trying to think of something witty before a lightbulb went off in her head. "I see that you have failed to bring back Sasuke, is the old lady his replacement?" That comment clearly ticked off Naruto who almost lunged at her, only stopping when Sakura gripped his forearm.
She formed a one-handed sign, Itachi mirroring her. The group instead, stared at her eyes, watching for any sudden movements, focusing their chakra at any given moment.
"Decipher his actions just by how he moves his body and feet. "
"The Uchiha clan huh? It's been awhile since I've fought against Sharingan" Chiyo commented, feeling herself to be a bit old. Naruto snapped his neck towards her. "Don't be so surprised, there are a few fighting techniques to counter his visual jutsu."
"W-what should we do?" Naruto stuttered, still shocked at the new fact.
" 'If it's one against one, then you must flee. If it's two against one, take the back.' "
"What?"
"If it's two against one, even if one is caught by the genjutsu, the other will take his back and hit him, then the genjutsu would be released. Even if that's impossible, if you can hit your teammate, then you can end the genjutsu. So, if there's more than one of us, then one will distract him. The rest of us will constantly attack him on the back where the Sharingan cannot see."
"I see..." Sakura continued, "But Itachi isn't alone."
Tamako blinked at their monologue. "That would be a nice plan if you haven't said it out loud and your enemy can clearly hear you, and are you forgetting about me? Besides, there's no way that plan could even dream to actually defeat Itachi by himself or not, his Sharingan is advanced. Once you look into his eyes, you'll be trapped in a genjutsu for seventy-two hours, and it will pass in the real world for less than a second. I'm sure Kakashi would love to explain all the details."
Without missing a beat, Kakashi nodded at her explanation and added more details as if she was just a comrade providing information.
"What a troublesome boy. Who exactly is he?"
Itachi spoke solemnly, "Impressive Kakashi-san. It seems you didn't suffer enough in my realm in vain.
"That is not all I know..."
Then he frowned.
"After using that technique, you were quite exhausted and you ended the battle immediately and tried to escape. In addition to using quite a lot of chakra, it seems to come with a risk to your eyes as well, Itachi."
"From one match, you have analyzed it quite well. Unfortunately, one piece of information is wrong. That 'risk' you have spoken of doesn't exist anymore."
Tamako chuckled at his bold statement.
Kakashi's eyes widened before lifting his hand to the headband he adorned, and lifted it.
Itachi grunted in surprise and Tamako noted the unique pattern of Kakashi's own Mangekyou.
"Kakashi-san...could it be that you..?"
"Hatake Kakashi has obtained Mangekyou Sharingan for some time. I apologize, I forgot to mention it. Don't worry, he can't use it that well and using his unique ability once will keep him out of commission." Tamako added cheerfully.
"Maa, I underestimated you back then but now I'm not that pathetic."
"It's a huge mistake to think this is gonna end the same way as last time!" Naruto cried out confidently.
"Naruto, I'll deal with Itachi. You and Sakura will deal with Tamako."
Naruto and Sakura both gave each side glances before preparing themselves.
"It's about time you come with us, " Itachi raised his hand and pointed. "Naruto-kun."
Without letting the blonde respond, Kakashi lunged first, "I'll go first!". His fist in the air, aiming a solid punch that Itachi caught easily. At the older jounin's movement, Tamako ran forward with a tanto she had formed discreetly, sliding out from her sleeve and into her hands. With a clash, Sakura held a kunai and sparks flew in the air.
In the corner of her eye, Tamako spotted Naruto running at her in full-speed, Rasengan in hand and ready to slam it into her. She ducked low, abandoning her weapon equally fast in a movement that Sakura clearly didn't expect and low kicked, tripping the girl before using that same momentum to spin her grounded hand and somersault into the air.
Naruto swerved, nearly tripping over Sakura's prone body before giving chase. She maneuvered in the air, landing softly onto the ground with her arms out. At the last given moment, she grabbed Naruto's arm and forcefully unleashed his Rasengan onto the ground, creating a crater that shook the ground. Taking advantage of his shock, she swung her heel into a crescent kick, knocking the boy back.
Stunned for just a moment, Naruto recovered and folded his body into a flip, landing back a few meters and skidding back. He eyed her warily, now knowing that throwing himself without a plan wouldn't do him good.
If he didn't come to her, she'll come to him. With a wider grin, she shouted, "Let's play tag!"
She lunged forward, crystal forming in the air as she stepped to gaining higher leverage. The crystal created beams of light that blinded her opponents and she successfully grabbed the blonde Jinchūriki. With a tight grasp, she flipped the boy onto the ground, messing with his balance before tossing him like a sack of potatoes towards Itachi.
In Naruto's panic, he was caught in a Genjutsu and froze, his eyes glazed over as he calmly walked back to Sakura. It wasn't until the pinkette grabbed his shoulder that he broke out in a sweat. "Wha- where's the kage bunshin?"
Itachi didn't let them have enough time to respond and formed hand-signs faster than Tamako could read, spewing out multiple shuriken sized fireballs. Taking note, she one-handed signed beneath her sleeve and waved her arm into an arc. Dozens of senbon spawned, taking up the majority of the air.
The group dodged the mini fireballs before Kakashi called out, "Here comes the second attack!"
He dodged some of the senbon, deflected the ones that got too close and they landed on the ground with a clatter. With a quick shunshin, she appeared behind the silver haired man who read her movements and blocked her first kick.
They exchanged blows into the air, Kakashi's Sharingan reading each movement and intent and successfully blocked each jab and butterfly kicks, not even a quick rotation of her chakra could disrupt his view. He read them too well.
With a huff, she clashed against his kunai with tanto, feeling warmth that quickly got close. Using the weight of her tanto, she pushed it against the older man and backflipped away, dodging the massive Uchiha fireball that consumed Kakashi.
What was left was a scorched log, a well-timed kawarimi.
While in the air, Tamako felt a presence to her left and whipped her head, spotting the pinkette with an outreached fist. "Shannnaro!"
Her eyes widened, flexing her body in the air in a way only the most flexible could execute. Her body stung with the way she carelessly moved her body, but she dodged the deadly punch. She placed her palm onto the other girl's shoulders, her legs high in the air before using the girl as a launchpad higher into the air.
Then, the atmosphere damned, the air staticky humming. She heard the loud chirping before she sensed it, a raikiri aimed to pierce her chest. She's gotten used to countering chidori, seeing it so many times. With a triple layer crystal shield forming, Kakashi pierced through two and Tamako used the last to launch herself away, just missing his raikiri by a hair. If it was slightly faster, she wouldn't have had time to get away.
That was actually a close one.
She finally planted her feet onto the ground after dodging killer moves, her back against Itachi's as mist consumed the battle scene. "This mist is targeting me." She spoke. Foreign chakra laced in the mist made it almost impossible to sense any other presence. Everything felt like Kakashi, to her left, right and even in the air.
"Could we please stop this childish game of hide and seek, Kakashi-san!?" Itachi shouted, hands at his side.
Kakashi walked out into the opening in front of the duo before stopping at a reasonable distance, his body relaxing into a calmer stance.
"I suppose we could..." The two both stared, getting ready for any movement, and Kakashi started out first, throwing a couple kunai at the two missing-nin's way. This was an obvious trap, and Kakashi was using himself as a decoy.
Where the hell did Sakura and Naruto go?
Itachi gracefully dodge them without moving a step and Tamako picked a few from the air and threw them back, crystal birds followed up by a well timed Uchiha fireball, courtesy by the only local Uchiha in the area.
She missed Sasuke, just a little. They haven't physically met in nearly a year and a half, just exchanging notes and updates. Moreso, Tamako was sending notes, she didn't really have a return address.
Shaking her head from the thought, she went back to increasing the pressure, clapping her hands and formed a decent sized crystal ball that wizzed towards Kakashi. "Shouton: Crystal Bomb!" The ball instantly exploded into hundreds of tiny bullets, but Kakashi never let her attack get too close and formed a doton wall to cover him.
The bullets aimed at her and Itachi weaved off-course with a wave of her hand.
She couldn't see what Kakashi was doing as he took cover, but no doubt was using this to his advantage. Using the mist that was already chakra-rich, she formed hundreds of petals from the water molecules, floating daintily towards his doton wall and exploded. The blast cleared the air of the remaining mist and dirt ballooned and covered the area.
When the dirt finally settled down, her eyes widened at the vacant half-destroyed doton with a small little hole. "Watch the ground!" She cried out, jumping into the air before landing on a nearby branch.
She wasn't so quick with her warning, and a hand pierced through the ground and wrapped around Itachi's leg. The Uchiha peered down, locking eyes. "No wonder my genjutsu isn't working. This is just a kage bunshin."
Then where the hell is the realKakashi? Where is the rest of his team? It's too silent.
Then he appeared, the real Kakashi climbed out of the hole and shouted, "Now, Naruto! Destroy my kage bunshin!"
Her eyes widened and nearly snapped her neck back to the Uchiha. Kakashi's kage bunshin had a firm grip around the man's leg and wasn't anytime soon letting go.
"I got this, dattebayo!" Naruto shouted, running out from nowhere with the largest Rasengan yet.
Shit!
She formed a few senbon between her knuckles and sent them flying, watching with a little disappointment when Sakura threw out a few kunai reflecting them, sending them careening to the ground.
Without a moment's hesitation, Naruto brought his massive Rasengan through Kakashi's bunshin and into Itachi, sending the Uchiha through the air before slamming loudly into the ground, craters and fractures formed from the impact alone. There was a small smile on Itach's face before the jutsu unwinded.
"What... was up with that smile." Naruto frowned, trying to peer at 'Itachi's' body.
Tamako flickered to the crater, looking down at the shinobi that took his place. Or rather, the body that Itachi borrowed. "Caved in skull from impact, collapsed chest, no doubt some broken ribs. Broken spine?" She continued to mutter, her fingers stroking her chin. This Rasengan is leagues above her initial understanding. One hit and it'll be over.
Noted.
"Don't move! Itachi is dead and you're surrounded!" Kakashi spoke.
Tamako pointed at herself, then at the crater. "You thought you killed Itachi?" She lets out a small chuckle, "Take a closer look." The girl sidestepped, eyeing their wide eyes before smirking, "Your Rasengan has gotten even better, Naruto." She starts, crossing her arms, "I think if I was hit by that, there won't be much of my internal organs anymore."
Tamako didn't really think she could take on Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura at the same time. It was only a matter of time they dealt with this body. "Come." She waved them closer and Kakashi took her invitation.
Each blow created a draft of wind, her body spinning in the air with multiple axe kicks before her showy performance was interrupted with a surprise kawarimi and a raikiri through her chest. She blinked, her fingers clutching at the arm that pierced through her chest.
It was over so quickly and she cursed at the chidori. It was just so quick.
Her fingers wrapped around the limb that impaled her and she smiled. She opened her mouth to speak before coughing blood that splattered and stained his jounin uniform. "That fucking hurts, you asshole."
This body was running out of chakra, surely this was enough to prove she was on the Akatsuki's side.
With one last smile, her body limped, her conscience soon ripped out of the body and returned into her original one. It was an unsettling feeling, like diving into a bathtub full of lukewarm water and breaching the surface for a fresh breath of stale air.
"The jutsu wore off? Anything important you've discovered, Tamako?" Pein asked.
She coughed into her free fist, her main hand still in half a rat sign. "Kyuubi's container has learned Rasengan and was able to amplify the power to kill Itachi in one hit. It seems like Hatake Kakashi has unlocked Mangekyou Sharingan for some time but he didn't showcase it. A girl who goes by the name Haruno Sakura decided to hone her skills with the current Hokage. Her strength is quite nice. Then an old lady from Sunagakure, Chiyo, decided to tag along."
"We were able to buy enough time, this should be enough. Well done, Itachi, Kisame, Tamako."
"That's easy to say, the three who became sacrifices and gave up their body for your jutsu were both my subordinates." Sasori rasped out
"Hmf, you should be the one thanking me, with my impersonation jutsu, they were both able to become Akatsuki members, although only for a short time." Pein chuckled. "It's almost time, and Zetsu. Dispose the three bodies we used for the jutsu."
"Understood."
