In the Hokage's office, Tsunade was reading some reports. When he was about to take a glass to drink, suddenly the glass cracked.
"..." Tsunade just stared silently at the glass.
She then stood up, and looked at the lottery paper that was on her desk. She looked at the paper for a moment.
"Of course," she whispered, "This is a really bad feeling."
Then she started to move, "Shizune! Are you there, Shizune?!"
"What do you think you're thinking there, Tsunade?" Jiraiya asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I feel that one team is not enough," Tsunade replied.
"Yes, I also agree. The opponent is Akatsuki, we can't be half-hearted," Shizune said.
"Hmm, there's a chance you'll add a team," Jiraiya said while rubbing his chin.
"Probably so."
At Suna, Baki manages to persuade the siblings, and takes them to Suna's hospital where Kankurou is being treated. The Grandmother was currently checking on Kankurou's condition, after a while she spoke to Baki, "Poison is my specialty, but I didn't even know about this. Sasori grew in large numbers."
"Even Chiyo-baasama too," Kankurou said tiredly.
"We are really behind on medical terms," Temari said.
Tsunade looked at the suna trio out of the corner of her eye, she could form a collaboration in the medical field to improve their performance, but for now she wouldn't say it. It was still too early, she wasn't sure if it was good or bad.
"What should we do?" Ask Baki.
"Well, the one who has more knowledge about neutralizing poison than me, it's the Konoha slug, Tsunade-hime. During the great war, she was able to find out the poison I made, and immediately mixed the antidote, which embarrassed me," said the Grandmother, "All you can do is call her here now and ask her to check him out. You guys are allied with Konoha now, right?"
"But now, that person is Hokage, she can't leave her village that easily, can she? Even so, even if she came, it would take her three days to reach the sands from Konoha. But, in that case..." Baki said before continuing, "For now, we have sent a request to Konoha for a specialist team. And it takes all our strength waiting for them to arrive."
"Hmph, stop relying on other people," Grandma retorted, "You are depended so much on your alliances with other countries, you got careless with your own training, and this is what happened!"
"Wow, she's a tough granny isn't she?" Kiba said.
"Yeah, she is," Kankurou replied with a sigh.
"Being dependent, that's not what we meant at all.."
"It can't be helped, it's because he lost his composure and chased them too far that he's like this. Even for a shinobi," said the old man while looking at Kankurou in pain.
The medical officer could only be silent and could not say anything.
"Why do you all depend and rely on Konoha? Because you didn't put the advancement of your own village's strength as the first priority. They are them, we are us!" Grandma snapped, "Yes. A friendly alliance is just a fabrication. During a time like this, all they could do was officially dispatch useless subordinates. The point is, I can't stand that slug woman!"
A check mark formed on Tsunade's forehead.
"It seems she still hates you, Tsunade-sama," Shizune said sweating slightly.
"It seems so," said Tsunade in annoyance.
"I understand how she feels," Sakura said with a sigh.
But it was a fatal mistake for her.
"Hmm? Did you say something, Sakura?" Tsunade asked sharply.
Immediately Sakura felt a chill down her spine and she sweated profusely, "N-No, I didn't say anything."
"Hmm..." Tsunade kept her gaze fixed on Sakura before she finally looked back at the screen.
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief when she had just avoided the death penalty.
"Stop digging your own grave," Ino whispered.
"I-I know."
"Achoo!"
In Konoha, Tsunade suddenly sneezed while she was working in her office.
"Are you alright, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked.
"Yeah," replied Tsunade while rubbing her nose, "More importantly, I want to send a team of reinforcements to the sand immediately. They're still not here?"
"Well, it'll just be a little.. um.." Shizune replied hesitantly.
"Achoo!"
Elsewhere in Konoha, Ebisu who was leading Konohamaru's team suddenly sneezed.
Many raised their eyebrows at the sudden change.
"Don't tell me you're going to send them?" Jiraiya represented the question that everyone wanted.
"No way, you idiot!" Tsunade snapped.
"Ebisu-sensei, are you okay?" Moegi asked.
"No, I was in the hot spring too long yesterday."
"This is our first mission after becoming a ninja and you just peeked and caught a cold?! What a pervert!" shouted Konohamaru impatiently.
"What is that Ebisu doing," Iruka muttered, out of the corner of his eye he could see Konohamaru sighing in annoyance.
Meanwhile, Naruto and the others had arrived at Suna, they were then greeted by the shinobi guarding the gate.
Temari sighed, she was relieved that they had arrived at suna without a hitch, but she still couldn't get excited too soon, there was still Kankurou that needed to be healed. And she hoped they would be on time.
"Temari-san with you? We have been waiting. Please, this way," said the shinobi.
"Okay," replied Naruto.
"But, Kazekage-sama was kidnapped. After that, Kankurou chased after them, but he was injured," explained the suna shinobi to them as they walked.
"What?! They got Kankurou too?!" Temari said in surprise.
"Yes, and he was caught by the enemy's poison. And we have no way of neutralizing it. At this rate, he has half a day at most."
Temari widened her eyes worriedly.
"Shit," she said, gritting her teeth.
"Let's hurry, Temari-dan," said Sakura suddenly.
"!"
"I'll check him out," she continued seriously.
Several people looked at Sakura curiously and wondered if she could save Kankurou. They knew that Sakura was Tsunade's student, but they didn't know how great she was.
But for Tsunade, Shizune, and Ino, they weren't too worried. Because they know the most about Sakura's development in the medical field in these 3 years.
They all immediately rushed to where Kankurou was being treated.
"Kankurou!" shouted Temari when they got there, startling the occupants inside. Temari and Sakura immediately rushed in while Naruto and Kakashi followed behind.
The grandmother who saw the newcomer was immediately shocked and widened her eyes when she saw Kakashi, "Th-That…. Konoha's White Fangs!"
Kakashi took a deep breath and his body stiffened, preparing for what happened next.
Without thinking, the grandmother immediately attacked Kakashi, Kakashi who was completely unaware of the situation was just shocked and silent while putting on a stupid face, "Eh?"
"Huh?!"
"Wha-?"
"Whoa…"
Of course, almost the whole room was shocked to see the Grandma's actions, seeing her actions suddenly attacking Kakashi made people confused.
But before the Granny got to Kakashi, Naruto immediately moved quickly and stopped the Granny's attack with one of his clones. The grandmother immediately kept her distance.
The other occupants of the room were shocked and widened their eyes at Grandma's actions.
"Why did you attack Kakashi-sensei all of a sudden? You wrinkled old woman" shouted Naruto, "This granny, she is so great."
That was the question everyone wanted to ask, except for those who knew the truth.
They wondered why Chiyo suddenly attacked Kakashi, and more importantly why Chiyo thought Kakashi was Konoha's White Fang. Who are the White Fangs?
Only the older Shinobi knew the situation for now.
"I remember that time, Konoha's White Fang. My son's enemy, I will avenge him today," said the old woman sharply to Kakashi.
Almost everyone suddenly looked at Kakashi after hearing Chiyo's words, Kakashi immediately felt cold when everyone saw him.
"No, no, that's not me. I've never even met her," he said hastily.
After hearing Kakashi's words, they looked back at the screen. But that raises one more question, who is Chiyo referring to?
"Ah, I'm not-"
"There's no point in arguing!"
Kakashi tried to explain but was immediately cut off by the grandmother. Luckily, Grandpa stood in front of Grandmother and stopped her.
"Nee-chan, take a good look. There is a strong resemblance but he is not Konoha's White Fang."
"Hah?" Grandma was surprised and looked at Kakashi once again carefully. After a while…
"No way, I was just pretending to be stupid. Gya ha ha ha," said the grandmother, laughing. The tense atmosphere in the room immediately subsided.
"Phew..." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.
Same with Kakashi, everyone in the room also heaved a sigh of relief. Well, not all of them. Some of them were sure that Chiyo did intend to attack Kakashi.
"Hah, so it's misidentify," said Kiba as he leaned back on the sofa.
"I think age affects her eyesight," said Shino.
"It was quite tense, I was surprised because of the attack," said Hinata who breathed a sigh of relief.
But unlike the others, Shikamaru glanced at Kakashi before returning to the screen.
"The Konoha White Fang is Kakashi-sensei's father, right? I guess it's their resemblance that granny misunderstood," he thought as he drank his juice.
"More importantly, Kankuro-san must be helped quickly," said Sakura after seeing the tense atmosphere had subsided.
"Yes, please," Temari said.
After a while, all the equipment was ready. A bucket full of clean water is placed on the table.
Sakura came closer and stuck her palm out to the surface of the water, after a while she raised her hand and was followed by the water that stuck to her hand so that it formed water bubble.
Sakura then slowly put her hand which was filled with water bubble onto Kankurou's body, Kankurou's body stiffened and he groaned in pain from the sudden contact.
Sakura remained focused and continued to examine the poison in Kankurou's body, after finding the location of the poison, Sakura carefully removed the poison using the water bubble in her hand. From inside Kankurou's body, several dark purple liquids emerged from his body towards the water bubbles in her hands. After feeling all the poison in Kankurou's body had been removed, Sakura took her hand away from Kankurou's body.
"Finally got it," she said with a sigh of relief, "I think we no longer have to worry about his life, I've directly removed the poison."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they realized the tension had subsided, they were very tense when they saw Sakura doing the treatment, but now happy that everything was going well.
The Suna trio were the most relieved of them all, because one of them was the victim himself.
"Thank you for saving Kankurou, Sakura," Temari said to Sakura.
"Yes, so do I. I don't know if I can live without your help," said Kankurou.
"N-No need to thank me, I haven't done anything yet," Sakura replied shyly.
"Still, we have to thank you," said Gaara.
Unable to deal with those genuine feelings, Sakura finally accepted their thanks. She then sighed.
"Good job, Sakura. You've grown better," Tsunade said suddenly.
Sakura turned to the Hokage, after a while she smiled.
"Yes, thank you sensei."
After hearing Sakura's words, Temari leaned her body against the wall and slumped down while heaving a sigh of relief.
"Now that I have to make an antidote for the little poison left in his body, we still can't relax. Please heed my words," continued Sakura.
Naruto looked at Sakura in admiration after what the kunoichi did, "Sakura-chan, you're great."
Sakura smiled at Naruto's words.
All this time, she had been a burden to Naruto and Sasuke. The two of them always protected her, she was just a weak girl who couldn't do anything about it.
That's why she was determined to be strong, she had promised Naruto that she would not let Naruto bear the burden alone again, this time it was the two of them who would save Sasuke.
And she hoped that one day she would be able to catch up with them both.
"You look so much like that snail woman, that a girl like you is coming..." said the grandmother.
"That's because Tsunade-sama is my teacher, and my teacher said I had to come here," said Sakura with a smile.
"…." Grandma didn't say anything, she seemed to be thinking about something.
"Nee-chan.." Grandpa said to his sister, making Grandma go out of her mind, "Time really slowly flows."
Grandma just smiled sadly.
"Right! But we won't be slow. Let's go to Akatsuki," Naruto said excitedly.
Everyone was finally reminded of the reason Kakashi and his team headed to Suna, the tension of the situation because Kankurou's life was in danger almost made them forget the most important thing, their main goal was to save Gaara.
Maybe because the difference in the situation between seeing and feeling directly caught them off guard.
Meanwhile in Konoha.
"You all will be on the same mission as Team Kakashi," Tsunade said to the people in front of her, "Your mission is to go to the land of sand and support them with Team Kakashi, understand?"
"I wonder which team to send?" Ino asked quietly.
"Well, I guess I have an answer," Shikamaru replied lazily.
"?"
Ino sent a questioning look but Shikamaru just ignored her, as everything would soon be revealed.
"Suna is currently in an emergency situation, and we can't send just any team. It takes a team that has strong cooperation and coordination, of course also fast. Well, I guess that team is the only match," Shikamaru thought.
"Okay," Might Guy replied with a thumbs up, with him were his team members, consisting of Hyuuga Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee.
"OOOOHHHHH!" shouted Lee and Guy at the same time.
"It's finally our turn, Lee!" said Guy, giving Lee a thumbs up.
"Yes, sensei!" said Lee excitedly, then he turned to his teammates, "Neji, Tenten, let's go through this with passion!"
"We're not the ones going, you idiot," Neji grumbled.
Tenten just sighed annoyed.
"A-Achoo!" Guy suddenly sneezed.
"Do you have a cold?" Tsunade asked.
"Well, I've had a fever for a while now, hahaha," Guy said with a laugh, he then turned to his team, "Alright, everyone. Let's head to the land of sand in one day!"
"No, sensei. Let's go there in half a day," said Lee.
"What the hell are they thinking, it took three days," Neji said with a frown.
"Please stop saying such nonsense," Tenten scolded the excited duo.
"Haaah, it wasn't our team that was sent, huh," said Kiba sighing in disappointment.
"It can't be helped, judging from the situation, their team is the most suitable for this," said Shino.
Hinata lowered her head slightly, she was a little disappointed that it wasn't their team that was sent and she hadn't even met Naruto yet, but as Shino said, she agreed that Guy's team was the most suitable because of their speed.
In Suna, Sakura is currently in a greenhouse full of cultivated medicinal plants.
"Wow, the sand has a lot of medicinal herbs, I didn't expect this," said Sakura while grinding some medicinal herbs.
"Forgive us, it is very difficult for medicinal plants to grow in this climate. Especially we only have a little Tomoshiri-sou," replied the officer who takes care of the medicinal plants.
"No, there are quite a few here. I will prepare three antidotes," said Sakura.
"Eh, only three? Can't you make more?" Chouji asked.
"Given the circumstances, three is more than enough," replied Sakura, "I hope I'm right."
Actually, she wasn't too sure whether 3 antidote was enough or not, considering that one of the enemies was a poison specialist.
In the treatment room, everyone was still gathered while Sakura was making the antidote.
"After Sakura-chan is done, let's go," said Naruto while stretching his body.
"Naruto, wait a minute," interrupted Kakashi, before turning to Suna's people, "Um, excuse me, I have something to ask. What happened to the pursuit of Akatsuki after that?"
"Kankurou went alone after them, nothing else," Baki replied.
"Then, we completely lost them?"
"Yes…"
"So, we just lost them?" Ino asked in disbelief.
"They've gone a long way, so it'll be hard to find them," Chouji said.
"I'm not sure about that…" Shikamaru muttered quietly to himself. He remembered that Kankurou had some parts of Sasori's clothes, so they could trace their whereabouts.
"Shit, am I not awake yet. If I don't tell them quickly, it will be a waste of time," thought Kankurou.
"Hmm, well, can you guide me to the place where Kankurou fought before? Even though I didn't see it, I'm an expert in pursuit. Even a small amount of their smell is left behind…"
"No need.." said Kankurou who slowly got up cutting Kakashi's words, "There are two enemies. The one that kidnapped Gaara, you have to follow Gaara's smell. Even assuming they split up, I caught quite a bit of their clothes in Karasu's hands."
Hearing Kankurou's words, some of the onlookers who were in confusion immediately became enlightened.
"Oh, that's right. I remember that time Kankurou-san tore off Sasori's mask and took it," Sakura said excitedly.
"Yeah, with that we need to bother again and can catch up with them," added Ino.
"You don't seem surprised at all Shikamaru," said Chouji, drawing the attention of the two kunoichis.
"Well, I was aware of it from the start. Some of us have noticed it too," Shikamaru replied.
"Making success out of failure, you are of course a shinobi from the Sand Country," Kakashi praised.
"Kankurou, are you alright?" Temari asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm a little better now," Kankurou said while holding back the pain, then his gaze caught Naruto, "Uzumaki… Naruto?"
Naruto smirked when he found out there were clues about Akatsuki and Gaara.
"Kankurou, are you sure that one of the two you're following is Sasori?" Grandma asked.
Kankurou turned his head and was surprised when he saw the person who asked him, "Chiyo-baasama, and Ebizou-jiisama?!"
"How about that, Kankurou?" Asked the Grandpa who was now named Ebizou.
"Yes, it's Sasori the Red Sand. He himself said it."
"….." The granny Chiyo didn't say anything.
"Chiyo-baasama, does she still see Sasori as her grandson?" Kankurou asked.
"It seems so, from what I heard, she used to really love Sasori. Maybe the love is still there after all this time," Temari replied.
"I see," Kankurou muttered under his breath.
"Sasori the Red Sand. Can we hear more about Akatsuki? Please," said Kakashi.
A few moments later, Sakura returned with an antidote. She then told Kankurou to drink it.
"Drink it all, I trust you are fine now. Now, until the paralysis ends, please don't move much. Please rest," Sakura said to Kankurou.
"Alright, let's hurry," said Naruto after seeing Kankurou's condition had improved.
Kankurou tried to move his hands but couldn't because his hands were shaking so badly, he gritted his teeth.
Sakura could understand how Kankurou was feeling right now, the feeling of helplessness when a loved one was in danger when you couldn't do anything about yourself.
Sakura had experienced it in the past, when Sasuke decided to leave the village and she just hoped and cried at Naruto like a helpless girl.
Therefore, she decided to become strong and went with Naruto to save Sasuke.
"Work hard and make your own way, that's the only way. Without escaping to lonely isolation. If I do that, then one day… just like him."
Gaara's past words echoed in Kankurou's head, he then quietly turned to Naruto.
"I don't think of you as a sibling, if you get in my way then I will kill you."
"Relationships with other people, until now for me were nothing but hatred and the aim of killing."
"And now. Even I understand something."
"Suffering and sorrow….and joy. They can all be shared with others."
"Uzumaki Naruto. After fighting and interacting with him, this is how I felt when he taught me."
"He knows the same suffering as me, and he taught me that I can change the course of my life."
Kankurou lowered his head and pondered, he couldn't move for now, so he only had one thing he could do.
"Uzumaki Naruto," he said.
"?"
"Please save my brother," Kankurou said earnestly.
Naruto was silent for a moment, then he smiled.
"Leave it to me," Naruto said confidently, "Because I'll be Hokage too someday, so I'll get some advice from the Kazekage."
Many smiled at Naruto's answer, even after so long he would not give up on achieving his dream.
"When one day you become Hokage, let's work together Naruto," thought Gaara happily. He didn't mind helping Naruto, as they were friends.
In a dimly lit room, Chiyo opened a chest in the room. Inside the chest, there are two scrolls.
"That scroll..." Kankurou muttered with immediate interest, he immediately recognized that the scroll was for the summoning of the kugutsu, plus the scroll seemed to be kept safe, maybe it was a very important scroll for Grandma Chiyo, "But, what is she planning with the scroll?"
"Are you planning to bring that?" asked Ebizou who was standing behind her.
"This must be fate, because there is nothing better to fight him than this," Chiyo replied, "I lived too long too."
"Wait…" said Kankurou who couldn't contain his surprise.
"Don't tell me, she…" Temari was as surprised as Kankurou was.
"Yeah, looks like she'll be going too," said Gaara, finishing the two siblings' intentions.
This was a shock to them, because they had known all along that Suna's two siblings had distanced themselves from the village and no longer wanted to get into any trouble that was happening in the village.
The fact that Grandma Chiyo wanted to be directly involved in this matter showed how important Sasori's existence was to her.
Team Kakashi had gathered outside and was intent on pursuing Akatsuki when a shinobi Suna approached them.
"If you guys wait a bit, we can have skilled ninja here too," said the shinobi.
"Really?"
"I'm going too!" Temari said as she approached them, but someone thought of something else.
"Temari, stay here and work for the defense of the Nation's borders."
They all immediately turned to the source of the sound and were startled by Grandma Chiyo who was standing on top of a building.
"Hah? What was that granny doing up there?" said a confused Kiba, he didn't really know what Chiyo's actions meant.
"That's obvious, right," said Shino in response to Kiba's confusion. He didn't need to explain further because all of Chiyo's actions were clear from the moment she took the secret scroll.
"From the Sand shinobi, I've had more than enough," she continued.
"But, Chiyo-sama…." Temari tried to argue.
"That would be too difficult for you," said the shinobi Suna.
Chiyo didn't listen and she jumped from the building "Don't treat me like an old hag!"
"She jumped!" shouted Naruto.
Chiyo landed in front of them, looking fine but surprising Naruto and Sakura.
"I want to give my cute grandson some love for a while now."
"We can see if that granny can have a psychological effect on Sasori," said Shizune.
"Maybe, but I'm not too sure about that," replied Tsunade.
"Yeah, Sasori has left the village for 20 years and has committed countless crimes. I doubt something like a family gathering would be able to catch him off guard," Jiraiya said.
"Well, but it's worth trying," Kakashi added.
They nodded, this screen could be a clue for them to see if this batch of S-class criminals still had a conscience or not.
While Naruto and the others were preparing to depart, the Akatsuki duo had already arrived at their destination.
Everyone tensed up again when they saw the two Akatsuki members, but they were also curious as to where they were headed.
They were currently above the river, in front of them was a stone door marked with a torii gate in front of it. A piece of paper that said 'Forbidden' was attached to the stone door.
"Is that their hiding place? Where is it?" Shizune asked while holding the notebook.
"Hmm, I think I've been there," Jiraiya muttered while rubbing his chin.
"You know that place?" Tsunade asked.
"It's vague, but I remember that there wasn't a stone door like that at that time," Jiraiya replied, then he turned to Itachi, "Is that Akatsuki's hideout, Itachi?"
"One of them," answered Itachi curtly.
"I see."
"Well, at least we got some pretty important information. Shizune, noted that," Tsunade said.
"Roger."
Then the stone door lifted upwards, revealing the darkness of the room inside. The Akatsuki duo went inside.
Inside the room or cave, someone is waiting. There was nothing to see about that person, because that person was currently a projection.
The person turned to Sasori and Deidara who had just arrived carrying the unconscious Gaara.
"You're late, prepare immediately," the person said to the two of them.
"Who is that?" Guy asked while raising his eyebrows.
"He is the leader of Akatsuki," replied Itachi.
Itachi's short answer was like dropping a bomb, those who heard it were shocked.
"W-Wait, so he's the leader of Akatsuki and the one who ordered the capture of the Bijuu?" asked a flabbergasted Temari.
Itachi nodded slightly.
"Damn, we can't see it at all, what's with that body?!" said Kiba who was frowning.
"It's one of our ways to communicate, because we don't hang out with each other very often."
It made sense, because if a group of S-class criminals got together, it would be very easy for the five villages to corner them.
"So who is he?" Jiraiya asked, he needed this information.
"That-"
"No need to rush," said Oz suddenly cutting Itachi's words, everyone focused their attention on the speaker in the corner of the room, "That question will be answered if you continue watching."
After that Oz didn't say anything.
"Well, alright…" Jiraiya said slightly dissatisfied.
"Jinchuuriki are stronger than I thought, hm," replied Deidara.
That person then performed a summoning technique, not long after that a giant statue appeared.
The statue appears only partially from the chest to the head, the statue's hands are raised upwards while stretching their fingers, a spike like spikes on the back, the mouth is tied, and the eyes totaling 9 are currently closed.
Many people gasped for air when they saw the statue, because it was not something that was usually invoked with a summoning jutsu.
"W-What is that?" asked Hinata who stuttered a little.
"Does it even fall under the Kuchiyose jutsu category?" Kiba shouted.
"That's Gedo Mazo," Itachi said.
Everyone thought of Itachi's words, somehow the name was not foreign to them.
"W-Wait, does that mean..." Sakura widened her eyes when she came to a conclusion.
"I see, so that's where the tailed beasts' chakra is gathered," said Kakashi whose eyes narrowed at Gedo Mazo.
The person then performed a hand seal and said, "Assemble."
Shortly after, several other projections appeared above the statue's fingers. Deidara and Sasori jumped onto the remaining fingers.
Jiraiya took note of the information displayed to himself, he was happy because with this his progress to get more information about Akatsuki.
"Now it's just a matter of keeping track of their identities," he thought as he closed the note.
"Now let's get started," said the person in a cold voice.
In the darkness, a terrible ritual begins.
Temari and Kankurou couldn't contain their anxiety when they heard the Akatsuki leader's cold words.
The ritual has started and they have about 3 days, will they be able to save Gaara in that time? They just hope.
Gaara who felt the anxiety of his two siblings sighed and leaned back on the sofa.
"Don't worry about me no matter what the outcome," Gaara said to them, "I'm still here."
"I know, but…" Kankurou said weakly.
"Still, we were worried about you over there. After all he is still you, our little brother," said Temari.
Gaara slightly widened his eyes hearing his sibling's words, then he smiled in his heart, he was grateful to have siblings like them.
"Then let's do our best so that something like this doesn't happen," said Gaara.
Kankurou and Temari looked at each other before they smiled.
"Yeah."
"Definitely."
The three siblings decided that whatever fate befell Gaara on the screen, would not happen to the current Gaara.
Will never.
Thanks for reading!

In anime or manga, the eyes of akatsuki members can be seen, but I'm here deliberately not to show them. Because in some cases, Pain's eyes are not very clearly shown. So, I decided not to show their eyes and it was also useful to amplify Jiraiya's reaction later.
