And On
-------------------------------------------------
“What can we do know?” Kiba sighed.
“Why do you say that?” Shino wondered.
“He’s right, we have nothing else to do now, considering they are gone and we don’t have Sakura,” Shikamaru agreed with Kiba.
“Are you basically saying that it’s hopeless to find her!?” Rock Lee questioned him frantically.
“Yeah, for the most part...” Shikamaru smirked. Rock Lee glared at Shikamaru. He put a fist up in anger, but then looked away as if he lost hope.
“What we need to do is report back to the 5th Hokage,” Neji planned.
“Then we’ll go,” Naruto seemed very serious, but at the same time like he didn’t care that Sakura, whom he loved, is gone. Everyone paused for a bit, but then agreed to follow Neji and Naruto as they left. But, they almost forgot Sasuke. Hikaru and Yumiko stayed to pick him up. But, for the most part Yumiko picked him up.
“Come on, dear sister, let’s get back to Naruto,” Yumiko requested of Hikaru. Hikaru stared at the sky.
“I know where they are…” Hikaru mumbled.
“Where who are?” Yumiko turned to Hikaru, a confused look on her face.
“N-nobody,” Hikaru returned to Yumiko with a smile. Yumiko shook her head and just continued on with Sasuke on her back. Brother…, Hikaru thought to herself as she looked to the sky.
They all continued walking until they reached Konoha.
“FINALLY!” Yumiko fell to the ground. “I had no idea that Sasuke was this heavy!!” Yumiko continued complaining as she crawled for a soft place.
“Gah! Sasuke!” Hikaru ran to him. He finally woke up.
“Sa…ku…ra…!?” Sasuke murmured. He jumped up. “Wha!? Where am I!? The leaf village…take me back!” Sasuke demanded as he looked around the entrance to Konohagakure. Naruto ran to him and hugged him.
“Sasuke! Sasuke! I thought you were dead!” Naruto hugged him.
“Yeah, you took a bad fall…” Tenten explained.
“But, we got you back safely,” Hinata nodded.
“Yes, and we cleared a path from the sand to the leaf!” Temari and Kankurou both said showing off their weapons. Naruto backed away from Sasuke. He then punched him in the face.
“Why’d you have to kiss Sakura!?” Naruto seemed pretty mad about that. Rock Lee, Sazaki, and Kensuke gathered around him, angered. Sasuke was very confused. HE kissed Sakura? What happened there? Sasuke touched his lips.
“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Sasuke blushed, in anger and embarrassment.
“How do you not know!?” everybody except Hikaru, who was lost in thought, exclaimed.
“He probably hit his head,” Chouji pointed out.
“Or he is too stupid to remember!!” Sazaki was furious.
“Sazaki, where is this coming from!?” Sasuke backed away. This has gotta be a nightmare, Sasuke thought.
“You know I—“ Sazaki was interrupeted.
“Hey! There you guys are, we’ve been waiting…” Jiraiya exclaimed from a tree branch. There, standing beside him, Tsunade stood overlooking them.
“Jiraiya! Sakura…” Naruto tried to explain.
“We know, we have plans,” Tsunade assured them.
The next day, they all gathered at the doors of Konoha. They were in teams each with team leaders.
“Okay, Here are you teams and team names that we will be referring to on walky-talky,” Tsunade explained showing off the black walky-talkies that they will use.
“Team Jiraiya: Jiraiya, Kensuke, Sai, Narikawa
Team Hikaru: Hikaru, Konohamaru(and his friends who I refer to as the “others”)
Team Offense: Gaara, Sanosuke, Iaara, Rock Lee
Team Defense: Shikamaru, Neji, Sazaki, Hinata
Team 7 Renewed: Kakashi, Sasuke, Hana, Naruto
Team Desert: Kurenai, Temari, Kankurou, Hisaki

Team MX4: Kai, Rico, Teraki, Kiba
Team Save: Tsunade, Shino, Chouji, Nasuke
We’ll all be searching for the Elite Teams hideout.”

Yumiko's Mission

"Krrssh, Lord Hokage, we are in pursuit of the mission, any information needed?" a oice came from Tsunade's walki-talki.
"We tried, but that kid's sealed shut. I guess you'll have to do the hard way, sorry," Tsunade answered.
"Hey, Lord Hokage, where's Yumiko?" Narikawa wondered.
"Yes, and where is Catunima, Ametsu, and Teraki?" Hikaru added.
"And where are my...old...teammates!?" Sazaki pointed out.
"Yumiko is the leader of a larger tream of five. They have been order to find more information about the Elites."
"Why them?" Narikawa asked, annoyed.
"They have better stealth than most of us." Neji pointed out.
"I think we should go now, before we run out of time and it gets dark," Kakashi suggested. And they all left.
Elsewhere, Yumiko and her team found Kabuto, almost immediately. He was a genius, and apparently felt that he could just walk out in the open.
"Well, there doesn't appear to be any other ninjas around, why can't we just capture him?" Kai asked Yumiko.
"It can't be THAT easy," Yumiko answered, staring at him. Kabuto, you can't be this stupid, not now at least. You must have something up your sleeve, Yumiko thought.
"I don't need to listen to you, I'm just going," Ametsu said, annoyed.
"No, you can't you'll mess up the plan," Teraki pushed her back.
"Yes, you should listen to Miss Yumiko," Catunima added.
"Hmph, you kids are something. I've never heard such a team," Rico giggled.
"Yep, they're quite a team, that's why Lady Tsunade kept them together, or else we'd just have Catunima and you guys," Yumiko told Rico and Kai.
"You know what, there is not one soul around here except us and Kabuto, why can't we just ambush him?"
"Are you certainly sure?" Yumiko asked, still feeling a presence. She felt like she was being watched, because she was. She was being watched by a friend of Kabuto, or Orochimaru's helper, but by his enemy, his new enemy, the akatsuki.
Yumiko took a deep breath, "Alright, let's do it...1...2...3...GO!"
They all jumped down and grabbed Kabuto. Yumiko then teleported everyone to a safer place in the woods.
"That was easy..." Teraki commented in relief.
"You should have listened," Ametsu scolded her.
"I don't feel safe, that's all..." Yumiko sighed.
"Why are you capturing me? Aren't you going to interrogate me?" Kabuto interrupted their conversation.
"Oh, yeah! So, Kabuto, how'd you do it?" Rico asked, staring at Kabuto in the eyes.
"Do what? Let me guess, how did I make the Elites? Typical science. You guys need to learn how to interrogate people," Kabuto commented in disgust of how stupid they sounded.
"That's not the question that we were going to ask...Rico," Kai glared at Rico.
"Heh, sorry, I just always wanted to say that!" Rico explained.
"Kabuto...are you in any way associated with the akatsuki?" Catunima asked for them, tired of the constant arguements.
"Yes," Kabuto answered, simply.
"What are you doing for them?"
"Taking you of course," Kabuto answered in a simple tone once again.
"Why do you even want us!?" Teraki added.
"To take your powers. Why don't you ask more complex answers than simple answers. You'll get nothing out of me," Kabuto suggested.
"I'm just curious...but are you still associated with Orochimaru. I mean, do you still think of him as your lord?" Ametsu asked, somehow she felt homely talking to Kabuto.
"Now that's a better question. And, no. He is weak, too weak. Lord Pein is a much better leader than him. I can't stand Orochimaru anymore, he doesn't deserve to live, no matter how much he tries. Being too intelligent in the art of ninjutsu is too stupid."
"So, Lord Pein, is he the leader of the Akatsuki?" Kai asked.
"Of course, why would I call him Lord Pein if he weren't."
"What are the Akatsuki's plans anyway?" Kai wondered.
"It's quite simple. We just need your powers to give to Lord Pein to make him more power...in fact, almost like a god."
"So, you are saying that you are associated with the Akatsuki, they trust you and all?" Teraki asked.
"Yes--" Kabuto was interrupted.
"No, he's wrong. The Akatsuki don't care about him, they're just using him. This mission was pointless," Yumiko sighed.
"What are you talking about!? We got the information we needed! What's the problem?" Ametsu was very angry at Yumiko.
"Why would they use me?" Kabuto seemed interested in what Yumiko said.
"Because all the things you have just said have pointed to the fact that you don't really know anything. They are just trying to use your powers and knowledge to get our strength to him," Yumiko answered, trying to play him at his own game.
"How so?"
"It's so simple. You have given them all they need, don't you know that they just take and never give. What you want out of them is acceptance. You want to be in the Akatsuki, well guess what that'll never happen. I can't believe you haven't seen it. You're worthless!" Yumiko explained.
"You figured it out..." A voice said. Out of the darkness of the forest came a dark figure with red clouds all over his black trench coat. His eyes iris' were white and the rest of his eyes were black. His hair flung out a little, but mostly covered his pale face. He hade a very mysterious face. Behind him was a woman wearing a black coat that cover he body like a large blanket. Her hair was long and bright pink, while her eyes were a beatiful emerald green.
"You are pretty bright kid, no wonder we need you so much. Yep, you're one of the most needed. You've got the brains, the skill, and the power. Why are they all like that Kemu-kun?" the girl asked the man.
"Keanu...what...why?" Kabuto asked, he couldn't believe how dumb he was to believe them.
"Who are you!? The akatsuki!?" Teraki panicked.
"Nope, I'm not an Akatsuki member, I'm am agent. But, since for some reason Kemu-kun, or who you'd call Kemuri, can't talk or won't talk I have to be his voice," Keanu answered, happily.
"So, I was right, you WERE watching me....quickly everyone run!" Yumiko ordered.
"I'm not running..." Ametsu rebelled.
"Why? You'll die, or even lose your powers if you don't!" Yumiko cried to Ametsu.
"I'd die and I wouldn't care, why not stick around. You don't need me," Ametsu said, she walked behind Keanu and Kemuri.
"And here's our double agent! Good going kid, did'ja get the information?" Keanu asked.
"Yes, thank you Keanu, you helped me when I thought this wasn't going to work," Ametsu thanked her.
"Hey, no prob. So...will you go get them...Kemu-kun?" Keanu asked.
Kemuri nodded and then swept his right hand up in front of him and then back down. A blast of smoke flew out and right towards Yumiko's group.
"No, please, Ametsu, why!?" Yumiko cried as she was slowly enveloped in smoke. They all fainted, including Kabuto. Kemuri went out to retrieve their powers.
"Can you carry them all? Wow!" Keanu cheered.
Kemuri grabbed all their unconcious bodies and piled them up in his arms like twigs. Keanu did the regular hand signs and then they poofed into smoke to the new Akatsuki hideout.
