Attack of the Akatsuki

Akatsuki members:
Ari
Hidan


HIdan sat in the middle of a feild completing his meditation ritual required of jashin followers after a kill. A rogue ninja sat completely slaughtered a few feet away, so bloody it was barely distinguishable. The soft wind blew across the feild rustling the grass and his blonde hair as well.

Ari sat in tree near by and watched intently. She smirked when she saw the the slaughtered rouge ninja in front of Hidan.

Hidan finally got up and brushed the grass of his cloak. 'Well now that Jashin id pleased lets bag this guy." Hidan bent down and scooped the guy into a bag. He straightened back up and streched when he was done. "Ari! wanna carry this?"

Ari jumps down"of course!!!!!"she picks up the body"so where we going again?" Ari cocked her head.

"To anounamos clientel." Hidan smirked as he started of through the feild. A mountian loomed in the distance, it seemed to be where he was headed.

Ari nodded and followed behind him slowly than her normal pace only because she was spaced out.

(after a while)

Hidan stops at the base of a cliff and knocks on a seemingly harmless . It suddenly lifts up and kabuto peeks out from underneath. Hidan grabs the body and shoves it into the hole, grabbing a pouch of money int eh turn. "Heres your body, now take it and tell your freakin boss to stop raping boys!" He turns and stalks off.

Ari stiffles giggles and turns around to try and help that.

Hidan and his new partner had been walking awhile before he finally spoke. "So Ari, you replaced Kazuka when they reassembled me. Whats your story?"

"well wen i was 9 i was sent away on a false mission, and was labled a rouge a nin. i was on meh own for awhile then wen i was 16 Pein found me and had me join the akatsuki" she looked shy word while she continued to walk.

"Oh great. stuck with a rookie...whats your jutsu?"Hidan asked not really interested just wanting to find out some info about his new teammate.

Xerin suddenly appaired from out of no where. "Awesome it worked....but ummm where am I?? Hello random people I have never met wearing strange puffy red cloud." he thought to himself puffy red clouds puffy red clouds...why dose that give me a weird vibe..hmmm oh well.

"DONT CALL ME THAT!!!!! i was an anbu at 8 years old! so" she stuck her tounge out at Hidan. She turned around and looked at Xerin"hi random person" she turned back to Hidan" fire type, that and my kekei genkei(sp)."

"Great a bloodline brat. Freakin Kekkei Genkais(This be right)" He turned to face the newcomer with an pure evil face, but ment it out of sport. "And what might you want?"

Ari sighed. she had her back to hida as she glared into space.

"Ah now dont be that way Ari." Hidan walked up and placed his hand on Her shoulder in earnest.

She continues to glare off into space not paying any attention to Hidan."why people always judge me?"she asked herself.

"Hey i hated Kazuka to begin with...well i actuallly i hated him when he died to...well i judged tobi, but it turned out he was one of the only ones i liked." Hidan tried to make up completely forgetting about the new guy. "It will just take a while to get used to a new partner."

She still paid no mind to hidan, now studying the leaf and cloud patterns above her.

"Eh fine, aint like you can run off, Pain would kill you." Hidan turned his attention back to the new guy.

"let 'im kill me" she looked down at the ground now" not like i have family to care."

"OH...aint we dark?" Hidan mocked sarcastically.

"my entire family is dead except for my sister and i cant find her" she snapped back.

"Let me play you a sad sad tune on the world's smallest violine." Hidan rubbed his thumb and forefinger together and hummed a sad tune in sarcasm. But suddenly his eyes fogged over as his face appeared to descend into deep philosophy. "The world is like that. Everyone has their troubles and trajedies. This world is just false hope and dispair."

"tell me something i dont already know. and I DONT WANT UR SYMPATHY!!!" ari had just about had it with hidan and was ready to snap.

"Who said anything about sympathy? Your the one who started to rant off their biography." Hidan muttered under his breath. "Why couldnt i have ended up with tobi? Instead of an emo like Sasuke."

"ur the one who asked! IM NOT LIKE SASUKE! I HATE THE ASSHOLE!" ari bite her lip to stop.

"Freakin sound like him. Im find with just hearing name, age, jutsu, and how your jutsu can help mine." Hidan responded bluntly.

"fine" her words sounded like poison,"Ari Miharu, 16, fire style, and u deside the last 1 for ur god damn self!" and with that she vanished into a near-by tree.

"I wonder if she knows i can kill her right now..." Hidan mumbled to him self holding up a vile of her blood. He always got a sample of his partners just in case they went awall.

Xerin blinked."umm ok are you two going out or are you two just always this crazy?"

Hidan's face flushed, but he spun around and it was gone. "Over my dead body, wich is impossible. What do you want?" He asked hotly as if the newcomer had touched a nerve.

"Whoa I was just asking." Xerin laughed alittle. "But your names would be a good start. Which reminds me I'm Xerin the outcast of both of my clans because well Uchihas and Hyugas don't get along and I'm both."

"I thought madar....uh..itachi killed them all." Hidan responded a little puzzeled and redirecting the topic all at the same time.

"Yeah but he told me quote "Your not worth my time your just a mut who will be shunned and cast away when they learn what you are." unquote he was right as soon as I could us my sharingan they killed my mother and I became an outcast so now I trained to defeat those who ruined my life. anyways enough of this background crap....what are you planing on doing to the leaf village? if you think I'm just some care free fool like naruto then your wrong I know your Akatsuki."

"Then you also know i can kill you instantly. I have no intention with the leaf, thats Itachi's area." Hidan waved the boy away as if he were a bad fart.

Xerin laughed alittle."You may be able to....or you might not. But I have no quarrel with you so I don't tend to find out. But if your not after the leaf then what are you after?"

"I have collected my tailed beast now we are simply awaiting the orders for the next step." HIdan yawned then sat down in the grass.

"I see...well that mess up my plans oh well" Xerin shrugs."I guess I'll go find someone whose actually important in the Akatsuki."

"What the hell? You cocky little shrimp. I am one of the most important members of the organization were are simply awaiting Pains orders then swarm the leaf and kill the ho.....i think i just said to much...." Hidan had started off pissed but his little slip made his face go blank.

"Seems someones a bit touchy..you know thats a bad trait for a ninja and no please continue swarm the leaf and kill the hokage right? eh I'm not that loyal to the leaf village so don't worry so much why do you think I haven't just alerted them or dealt with you myself. For someone whose high up in the Akatsuki you don't catch on to quickly, but where can I find this Pain? I'd like to meet him." Xerin smirked a slightly evil smile.

"Just like miss moody here, you cant find Pain, only pain can find you." Hidan managed through grinned teeth in an attempt no to obliterate this guy.

Ari jumped down from the tree "im fine now, really." she gave Hidan's back an almost happy smile and then turned around to face Xerin, "why should we trust you, we don't even know u?"

"Remember and watch what you reveal Ari, Pain is not lenient." Hidan whirled and faced Xerin. "What do you want with Pain and the Akatsuki?"

Ari looked over her shoulder and smirked at hidan.

Xerin smirked."I never asked for your trust and honestly if I was looking for your leader would it matter if I found him? I mean I'm just some punk kid right." Xerin laughed alittle."As for why I have an interest to Pain and the Akatsuki is actually quite obvious."

"We have no openings so get lost!" Hidan Shouted pointing towards the woods. Suddenly his vision blurred and a swirling picture of Pain solidified in his mind. Hidan...Itachi is dead. His target is now your teams. Its suddenly vanished. "Um....itachi's dead?"

"Actually you do.Did they finally realized it yet?. That Itachi died or do they not care?" said Xerin.

"Actually...i just got the memo..." hidan said in disbelieve. Who was this guy and how did he know Itachi was dead?

"I was fallowing his trail and I finally found him and some guy with a white kimono and they were fighting and the guy in the white kimono kicked his ass. So now how do I talk to Pain? Cause I know all of Itachi's jutsus and I can learn any just by watching one once."said Xerin.

"Mutt uchiha...." Hidan closed his eyes and tried his best to connect with Pain. P:What is it?!?!? H:Pain theres a punk here that wants to talk to you.... P:So what tell him to go play in traffic or somthing. H:I think he wants to join, he saw Itachi Get killed...and he is a mutt Uchiha/hyuga. P:We have new members as it is....fine whatever dedaria is dead to. A image of A shadowed covered pain appeared before them. "Who do you think you are trying to seek me out?"

Xerin bowed."The names Xerin. I am the ultimate fighter since with the power of my sharingan and byakugan I can master any jutsu by seeing it once. But if you need a demonstration of my strength I would be more then happy to oblige."

"Just because you can sopy normal jutsu and see everything doesnt mean crap. If you dont have the chakra for the jutsu you cant pull it off, and the Sharingan cant copy curses or kekkei genkais either you litle freak." Hidan shot at him.
Pain held his hand up in silence. "Hidan, calm down we know the limitations of the sharingan."

Ari didnt want to be come part of this so she walked over to a tree, crossed her arms and leaned against it. She sighed and though how could hidan not no that itachi died i knew that?

Pain suddenly entered Ari's mind. Remember you joined while Hidan was still buried in that hole. What do you think of this Xerin character ari?

I don't think he can be trusted, but u know me well enough that i cant trust most peopleAri responded then started to glare at the ground for no apparent reason.

Xerin stayed bowed with his eyes closed waiting for their decision.

"You will fight either Ari or Hidan take your pick." Pain said with a smile.

Ari smirked at the ground now.

Xerin stood up and cracked his knuckles then his neck."Then I'll fight Ari. Hidan might no see it but you are strong indeed. Now shall we begin?" he said slightly turning sideways then suddenly disappearing and reappearing behind her left shoulder and then he smirked.

Ari looked up but closed her eyes,"of course"she turned her head sideways and then was gone.

Xerin blinked."Hmmmm maybe shes better then I thought..."he then jumped down from the tree and stood in the middle of the field."Now where did she go...hmm."

In the same tree as before Ari opened her eyes and they were different. the whites were black, the iris was white with a a hollow black diamond in the center that had her pupil in the center. The space between them was white. Ari jumped to another spot after levitating several kunai, senbon and suriken(sp) where she was standing.

Xerin started fiddling with his pants the took off his weights on his legs then took of his shirt and threw the weight shirt and his weight belt to the ground then he took off his gloves and his boots and opened the 1st gate."Since your taken so long I'll come at you first." he appeared in front of her and threw several hundred mixed attacks(normal kicks and punches and chakra kicks and punches)at her.

A cloud of smoke appeared, it was a clone.

Xerin made a bunch of hand signs quickly then turned to where Ari was hiding then said."Katon Housenka." and he shot about 32 huge fireballs.

Ari closed her eyes and a chakra shield appeared around her" u know the person able to kill a a miharu was zabuza, and he was only able to kill my mom cuz she injured herself training, and my dad cuz he was blinded by revenge."

"Well then it sounds easy to kill a miharu."Xerin smirked and walked up to Ari's shield then cut it with two fingers."You forget I am a Hyuga and I can cut chakra and see it as well." Xerin then shook his head and started to sway then he fell to his knees and started coughing up blood he then wiped the blood away from his mouth and got back up breathing heavily and his sharingan and byakugan faded away."Shit I over did it."he was breathing heavily still and coughing a few times. "Damnit I can't lose." Xerin balled his fists up and released all 7 gates he then charged at Ari moving at an incredible speed and right as he was going to connect blood shot out of his body from old wounds and he fell to the ground and lied there motionless.

"And u forgot im a miharu," ari jumped doen from the tree and wiped her hair out of her face,"and i remain unbeaten."

"Ill take this for future refernce." HIdan bent down and colected a bit of blood from both ninja and stored them in viles under his cloak. "Insurance policy." Hidan smiled.

Ari smiled back and then turned to look at the sky. She sighed at the clouds and contiued to look up.

Xerin suddenly jumped up and used a Jyuken on Ari's heart."Take that." Xerin was barely standing.

Ari looked down at her heart then at Xerin and then back at her heart. She sighed as her clone made a cloud of smoke.

"I hate clones...I really do."Xerin activated his byakugan."Now theres no hiding from me." he took his stance and focused on finding her.

Ari stayed silent.

Xerin was breathing heavily then shifted his feet slightly and threw several shuriken around himself with explosive tags engulfing the area around him in dust and smoke then he made six kage bunshin and had them spread out with the cover of the smoke till he got outside the smoke then all six clones and Xerin started making hand signs then they all stop and said/used at the same time."Katon Housenka." (Mythical Fire Flower) 

Ari sighed and closed her eyes making a chakra shield appear around her.

Xerin smirked and the other six clones made more hand signs then said/used"Katon Goukakyuu" (Grand Fireball) Xerin then walked up to Ari's shield."Its over. I concede." Xerin put his fist in his hand and bowed and his kage bushins dissipated in a cloud of smoke.

Ari cocked her head and gave the smoke cloud a questioning look as the chakra shield weakened a little bit.

Xerin stood back up. "What? Your not gonna kill me?"

"Why should i wen u can train to be stronger and then fight me again?" Ari smiled at him,"that and the fact that i think it would be a waste of energy to kill something as pathetic as you are."

Xerin laughed."You should never show mercy to your enemies cause it just might come back to bite you. Besides I got bored with fighting you all you do is hide behind that shield which makes the fight boring without bloodshed isn't that right Hidan. I would of fought you but an enemy that cannot die isn't much fun ether."

"Well theres always incapacitation.." Hidan laughed.

Xerin held his chin and thought for a moment."Hmmm that is a good point." he grinned then laughed as he turned around and walked away then suddenly threw a kunai with an explosive tag.

Hidan simply flicked his scythe knocking the kunia off course embedding it in a tree, then blowing it to smithereens. "Trust me, you don't want to fight me. Jashin is not forgiving if i don't kill my opponents."

Xerin laughed alittle."Thats why I could never fallow you religion your god wants the blood of your opponents whether weak or strong. Which means you have to win every fight cause you have no other option. Your a slave with no free will is how I see it. You can never die nor truly know defeat and wheres the fun in that wheres the thrill of your heart pounding your body pulsing the fear of death putting you on edge. You can never feel those things cause you know you cannot die so long as your a puppet and a slave to your god and fallow your commandments like a good dog. Besides you have no real talent you couldn't even touch me out of all the akatsuki your the weakest yet at the same time the strongest." Xerin shrugged. "By the way when you speak to again Pein tell him that I'm tired of these games."

"ill be sure i wont" ari said giving him a sarcastic smile.

Xerin had crossed the line and Hidan had snapped. "Your blood will rain from the sky as retribution for your blasphemy insolent fuck!" HIdan eyes were full of blood lust as a few strands of his well kept hair shook from place in his rage. "Ill show you my power courtesy of lord Jashin! Seisoku nai jutsu!" Hidan performed a one handed hand sign, then suddenly two skeletal hands of hidans fallen foes erupted from underneath Xerin grabbing his ankles therefor anchoring him to the ground. "Now die!" He swung his scythe releasing the retractable blade aiming it right at Xerin.

Xerin was laughing the whole time and right before the scythe hit him he grabbed it. "I already told you, you'll never touch me." Xerin twisted his legs and broke the arms of and stood in a defensive stance waiting for Hidan to withdraw his scythe and come at him.

"Your so screwed." Hidan jerked the scythe back right after flicking the cord getting it to make a loop around xerin. He jerked him towards him trying to pull him through the air and launched a punch aiming to floor him in mid air.

Xerin smirked then spun to untangle himself then stabed the scythe into the ground and did an back flip off of it as well as throwing it straight at Hidan he then made several handsigns and used/said."Katon Karyuu Endan"(Fire Dragon Flame Blast)

Hidan quickly reached for the vile of blood he had collected earlier, and swigged a bit(leaving some for later) with his free hand and used the momentum from the pull to swing around and sketch the curse seal in the ground in one movement. "You insulted me, my religion, and worst yet you mocked my partner....even though i dont show it i have taken a liking to her." Hidan opened his arms wide to accept the raging inferno of a blast as his skin turned their black and white skeletal pattern. "Now die by your own attack!"

Ari leaned against a tree and smirked to herself. She then closed her eyes and mumbled something and all her through/launched weapons returned to her. Ari licked the blood off of them and the hid them under her cloak.

Xerin was laughing quite crazily to a normal person it would make their skin crawl his figure stood in the smoke and when the smoke cleared he was burnt all over but his wounds were healing fast. "I told you I can master any jutsu after seeing it once so I know alot of healing jutsus as well." Xerin then opened three gates rushed to Hidan and grabbed him and flung him out of his circle. "I'm no fool I know that as long as your in that cursed symbol I will be hurt ever time you are, Now then how about I rip you to pieces? Hmmmm? or maybe I should use that little curse of yours?" Xerin laughed evilly. "And yes I know non believers will die or be judge by god right? but if I start fallowing your commandments then what will happen hmmm? all I have to do is give my body to him and preform the ritual right? but there would be a problem then. neither of us would be able to die. Hmmm thats not really to much fun then is it? ah well" Xerin shrugged and began to walk away. "Thanks for the demonstration I'll remember it if I ever get into a jam. May Jashin kill your enemies swiftly and guide your blade. I never insulted your religion only you Hidan insulting Jashin is a foolish thing to do. I am a follower as well I am just not ready to give my life to our lord yet."

"You are the fool." Hidan laughed snapping his neck back into place. "You will never become a follower of lord Jashin because you never gave your life at his alter, you haven't placed your own still beating heart apon his sacrificial table. And you cant copy my curse because it is simply thus, it is a curse not a jutsu you imbreed uchiha." Hidan bit his thumb causing a trickle of blood. He then slammed it into the ground open palmed. "Summon the great ring of Jashin!" A huge three mile wide symbol of Jashin made of steel appeared around the area. "Now how bout those precious eyes hmm scum bag?" Hidan pulled out a kunia and thrust it into his own eye, Xerin's corresponding sharingan eye. "Heal that you sarcastic fuck."

Ari laughed under her breath to herself. She pinched her finger to contain herself from going after all the blood covering the ground. It didnt work to well so Ari bit her lip, then her thumb, and then finaly stabbed herself in the leg with a senbon. Ari closed her eyes as her temptation was releaved.

Xerin laughed hysterically then looked at Hidan and had his byukugan activated then it suddenly changed into mangekyo sharingan."I can change it between eyes but thats not the best part." Xerin began looking like a great strain was upon his head slowly his veins began popping out near his eye and he then had the mangekyo sharingan inside the byukugan. "I may be a half breed but I am still stronger then any uchiha will ever be. By the way Hidan you talk to much." Xerin then turned his eye to normal and sat on the ground and closed his eyes then started meditating/praying. "If you wish to kill me then do it, but be quick about it will ya I don't have all day to play with you ya know." 

There is something he does not know about using the sharingan and byyakugan at the same time. Itachis told me once...this boy is going to kill himself. Hidan Smirked then plunged a kunia deep into his own chest piercing his heart. "Sweet dreams mutt."

Xerin was still sitting there meditating then coughed up blood and smiled while laughing after 5 minutes of laughing he stopped and then suddenly appeared behind Hidan and chopped him into hundreds of pieces but after Hidan blinked he was back together again. "I should thank Itachi for showing me this move I've changed it alittle bit that way I can play with my prey without them even knowing their in my world." Xerin then stuck his hand through the back of Hidan's head with his hand coming out Hidan's forehead. "Don't worry I haven't really done this, but it would kill you wouldn't it? I'm miles away now and Ari is fine shes to weak minded to handle something like this. So take that as a complement that I wouldn't fight you without tricks cause I myself am scared of death. I still have great things to do Hidan and I won't be killed just yet, but if you would like to fight for real after I am done then I won't deni you. Oh and Hidan, work on that anger of yours and your cockiness cause it will be the death of you." Xerin's body turned into a bunch of crows and flew away.

Hidan's skin turned back to normal as he sewed himself back up cursing under his breath. "Ari...ever feel like you just got punked?" Hidan slicked his hair back then walked over to his partner. "I hate those cocky genjutsu bastards.'

"ya, me too hidan, me too," Ari took the senbon out of her leg and put it in her pouch. She then placed her hand on her leg for a moment and pulled it away, the wound was gone.

"Wait your a frakin med ninja! Now i know why he partnered you with me. We may just get along after all........If you would please heal my eye?" Hidan burst then tappered off from the end.

Ari walked over to hidan and placed her hand on his eye,"well im that considered a med nin i just no sum cuz mari, my sis taught me some basic shit wen she was training with the hokage, and i picked it up pretty quick to, so i kinda have always carried the jutsu in my mind to use," she pulled her hand away and his eye was completly healed.

"Well lucky me." Hidan poked Ari. "Well im just glad we have a good looking girl besides Konan in the organization."

Ari smiled and poked him back, "who? cuz the other pretty cant be me, i look like butt."

"UH....hrmm..i was talking about dedaria." Hidan looked away in mock slyness, scratching his cheeck.

Ari smiled and laughed under her breath, "Yeah diedara is pretty hot isnt he?"

Suddenly the shadows converged to form a figure with ringed eyes. "Hidan, you can get Dedarias number when you get back, for now you two have an assignment..."

Hidan looked back bluntly. "Um no thanks....what assignment do you want done now?"

A raven fell from the trees with a parchment attached to its leg, hidan unraveled it and took a quick scan. He looked up at Ari. "This is gonna be fun, how good are you at stealth?"

"Well conidering the fact that i lived in clouds and that i was an anbu and all well ... exelent." Ari smiled then cracked her neck, "so wats the assing ment?"

Hidan came up and whispered the mission in his partners ear. "Just in case there are any unwanted ears here."

Ari nodded understandingly and smiled, "well lets get goin!" she jumped up in a tree.

Hidan slung his scythe across his back and took off after Ari in the direction of konohagakure. "This is going to be fun."

"You bet!" ari smiled even wider making her eyes close, and she ran face first into a tree, "GOD DAMN IT HOW CAN I BE SO STOPID!!!!!!" she shook back into her sense and then caught up hidan.

Hida actually missed a tree branch from laughing so hard. He instictivly released his retrachable scythe to pull him back up unto the branch. He started to jump again between rib pounding chuckles. "Holy...pffft...cow..hahha are you ok?"

Ari lughed a little at her stupidity, "probably not," puts nose back in place, " but i never am so that should be no suprize."

"Fair enough..." Hidan laughed but fell silent as they aproached the high walls of the village.

Ari's expression turned blank. She sundenly stopped, "Hidan this must sound really sad, but i dont know if i do this."

"Dont get cold feet on me besides no here comes the cool part, we cant go through barrier without setting off the alarm because we arnt kono ninja but..." Hidan plunged his hand into the dirt using the same jutsu he ahd used earlier. Two half decade konohagakure ninjas erupted from the ground. Hidan placed the skull on top of his head wearing it like a cape. "Come on."

Ari took a step back, "NO hidan u dont understand. wen i was forced to leave the cloud village tsunade took me in and was my mother,and i dont know if i could do that to her," her voiced cracked several times, and a tear slid down ari's cheek. she quickly qiped it away, "u probably rhink im sucha fuckin pussy now, " she laughed a little at herself and bit her lip.

Hidan was struck cold. "Um well...im not thinking that...thats a tuffy." He tapped his chin in thought. "Just wear your collar up so she dont recognize you. Besides its not like we are going to kill her, only temporarily kidnap."

"you're rite hidan, thanks," ari smiled slightly then closed her cloak all the way up and flipped the collar up, "ready?"

HIdan strode through the barrier without a hitch, then disguarded the sksleton. "Just tell me if you want to bail during this."

"I will," follows close behind and also nothing happens, "that was fairly easy, wat happened to the security?"

Hidan smiled at her. "I know a few cracks in the defenses watch this." He walks up and knocks three times on a normal looking brick in the wall. A concealed door swings up reveiling a corridor. "How do you think oro snuck around?"

"Very nice." walks in the coridor,"u coming?"

"Yeah but from here on out u lead because im not to familiar with the leaf's lay out." Hidan lights a tourch and walks down the way emerging into a bush that covered the exit. "Here we are."

Ari sighed and took a step forward, " this place is ...... what happened to this place?"

Hidan steps foward. "What?"

"it's changed so much since ive seen it."Ari shook her head in disbelief

"Oh, well that sure helps our mission.." Hidan chuckled then died off. "Think you know where your going?"

"Ya the hokage's office is still infront of the hokage face MT. thing," makes a handsigh and truns into a neko(1/2 cat ninja),"this is normally how i walk around here wen i dont want to be dicovered, and it hasnt failed me yet," she smiled, " too bad i was too tupid to think of this earlier," jumps on the rof of a building and starts tword the hokahe's office.

"Um wait..." Hidan grabs the nearest bystander and pinches his nech knocking him out. He steals the persons clothes, and catches up to ari. "What the hwck? these people have no sense of style." He looks down at the green jumpsuite.

"ya i no. that's y i'm a neko. no need 4 clothes, just fur," ari did a pose and started laughing.

A scream in the back alley could be heard. "What in the name of the power of youth? Im naked?" Hidan chuckled to himself. "That guy was weird anyway."

Ari laughed a little harder, "well we should get goin," starts to head to the hokage's office again.

Hidan follows the leader carefully.

Ari suddenly stopped and stuck her arm to make hidan stop," get low," she comanded and then fell to the ground.

Hidan was already down slidding on his face in mid run. "Whats up?'

"him" she pointed at a annoying blonde ninja in a orange jumpsuit.

"Now this is just plain retarted. Hes who we are after in the first place." Hidan sighed at the stoke of luck.

"wanna go get im? go ahead an try, but u aint getting mey help. u dont no naruto like i do."

"He whopped kazuka and can heal fast...id rather take on the fraky strong granny." Hidan weighed his options,

Naruto looked up at ari and waved"HEY ARI!!!" he called.

Ari dropped her head in her hands,"hey naruto," she said weakly," i forgot he knows this form for me."

"Jashin sakes. Good thing he only saw kazuka." Hidan pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger.

Naruto jumped up on the roof next to ari," wacha doin? and who's ur boyfriend???" he raised an eyebrow.

Ari blushed and stood up," laying around and wat boy friend?"

Naruto pointed at Hidan,"him."

Ari twitched the punched him and he flew to the other side of the village, "annoying little fuck."

"Looks like you have him covered...wait i got it! Convince him to come for a walk then we will capture him when he is in a false sense of security." Hidan brainstormed.

Ari hangs head, "im to lazy to fetch his annoying ass, pluss im a cat not a dog!"

Hidan did a double take. "Wait what?"

"He's on the other side of the village now hidan," ari explained.

Xerin was walking through the village when suddenly Naruto landed on his head."Ow what the hell!? Naruto? What happen did you make Sakura mad again?"

Hidan sighed again. He started to make his way toward the mountain again. "Back to plan A i guess."

"yeah, sorry," she scratched her arm vigorously," i dont think i can handel walking around this way like i used to, hold on," she made a hand sigh and turned back into her human form, but now was wearing a black corset with a fishnet shirt underneith and a pair of normal ninja pants. Ari shook out," ahh much better well ay ready to go?" ari smiled at hidan.

naruto rubbed the lump on his head," no just an old friend, she kinda did the sakura thing."

"Lets move then." Hidan jumped down and followed after ari, ducking and weaving through the crowd.

Ari stopped wen they had reched the front of the building," well, after you hidan," she took out the ribbon that held back her hair making her jet black hair fall down to her waist,"just so noone in there recinzes me,"

Hidan ducked in the building and knocked out the guard on the other side. He snuck from shadow to shadow until they were outside the door to the room next to the main office. "We will go in here then hop across the balcony then ambush from the window."

Ari nadded and then wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Hidan gently pushed the door in and found the room empty. He wisped inside and rushed to the window. From there he lept acroos the five ffot gap and landed with catlike reflexs hodling his back to the wall and waited on his partner.

Xerin laughed alittle."I guess thats all the Naruto charm dose. Wait a minute you didn't try feeling up Hinata again did you?"

Naruto sarcasticly laughed," no, she hasnt been to the village in awhile though."

Ari followed her partner and was just as stealthy, but more cat-like than he was.

"Alright, heres the plan. I will slip in and clorophorm the old bat while you cast a genjutsu to shroud me as if i wasnt even there? Cool?" Hidan layed out his plan.

Xerin leaned over Hidan's shoulder."Hmmm good plan but chloroform doesn't effect the old bat anymore, that would just give you away then would wait till you struck and launch a sneak attack on your sneak attack. Besides the old geser probably already knows your here."

Hidan opted to back fist Xerin in the face, but instead drew a kunia. Fine a kunia to the point between the shoulder and neck is instant unconcious...and the possibility of paralysis but Ari can handle that.

"Fine I'll leave...."Xerin said as he started to walk away and mumble to himself."Try and warn someone that they've been caught and what do they do pull a kunia on you."

"Ari, how did he know we were here? Ari we werent followed were we?" Hidan hissed at his comrad.

"not that i sensed hidan, but that guy is a bastard,so... ya wats the new plan then?" ari raised an eyebrow at her partner," Random qustion: why does that guy like hate me?" she motioned a a thumb in the dirction xerin walked off in.

Hidan huffed. "Beacause hes a hyuga/uchiha douche." He joked. "He said we were caught. I dont like what he ment by that."

"Neither do i .. hmmm," Ari looked skyward and closed her eyes.

"Ari get that genjutsu ready im going in." hidan clenched his kunia and softly stepped inot the room.

Ari made a hand sign and prformed the genjutsu.

Hidan glided across the carpet without making a sound. he walked right up behind the chair and peered around to confirm it was the buxomous blonde. He grinned and plunged the kunia down into the side of her neck slightly below the juggular.Tsunade clutched his arm in instinct but istantly fell over in paralysis. He drug her to the balcony and handed the unconcious victum to Ari. "Now you make tracks while I leave a calling card."

Xerin came out from the shadows and applauded Hidan. "So now that you have the ex hogake what are you gonna do with her hmmm? turn her in for her bounty? or maybe...your planing on using her to get something...or someone."

"You annoy the hell out of me you know that?" Hidan huffed burning a cloud shape into the desk along with the sign of jashin that he knew only shikamaru would recognize, since he was the only person who knew where hidan had been burried. He then turned to follow ari out the window.

Xerin blinked."Hey wait a minute were supposed to have an epic rematch." he sighed and turned around and walked off to get Shikamaru since he was the one who beat Hidan in the first place. "Umm hey Shikamaru the 5th just got kidnapped by the Akatsuki so yeah work your magic and find them."

Shikamaru sighed and fallowed Xerin back to the hokages room and saw the symbol and knew exactly what it meant."Him again how troublesome Xerin get the 7th and inform him the 5th has been kidnapped by the Akatsuki."

Xerin nodded."Gotcha." then vanished and found the hokage passed out on his desk with a bunch of paper work every where."Ummmm hokage..sir we gotta a problem and need to deal with it asap. The 5th has been kidnapped by the Akatsuki and yeah that can't be good Shikamaru knows where they probably are since its Hidan who kidnapped her hes probably gonna want revenge on Shikamaru and want him to meet him at the place he was beaten at. But yeah we need you to tell us what squad or what ninjas are gonna go get the 5th back."

Hidan was sprinting beside ari leaving the village. "Ok look, you head to the rondezous point with the fith while i relay the altimatum. When you see my signal you use the summoning jutsu to send her to me, and i will send naruto to you understand? But under no circumstances are you to come for me got it?" Hidan glanced at his teamate.

Cedric nodded."Allright then tell Shikamaru to gather a team of 3 others besides himself that he thinks would work best for the situation. I will send back up if I don't here from him within 3 hours after leaving."

Xerin bowed then disappeared to go rely the message. "Shikamaru-sensai the hokage said you could pick your group and that he'd send back up 3 hours after you left if you had not reported in."

Shikamaru nodded."Ok I need you to go get Tsome. The three of us should be more then enough to handle this matter. Meet me at the edge of the Konoha forest."

Xerin nodded and disappeared.
