In a flash if golden lightning, Itachi and Naruko appeared in the outskirt to the village.
Itachi has his ANBU gear on, without the mask(Naruko saying something about letting them see their face to lure them out), a black hooded cloak with the Uchiha fan at the back
Naruko wore a light blue mini yukata, a navy blue platted skirt that reach her thighs, a black legging and black Shinobi sandal, her blueish black cloak is sleeveless and open while her hood covered her hair. In the back of her hood is the Namikaze and Uzumaki clan symbol.
"Alright, lets go" Naruko said as she used her sensoring skills to detect Jiraiya.
"This rain....something is off" Naruko said as she could seechakra on the rain, its unnoticeable but its there
"The original Akatsuki base is located in Ame. Although i have never been inside but all members are aware of every base, he will be there but so will be Tobi" Itachi said
"I see.......Pervy Sage is west of here about.....6.5 kilometres away" Naruko said
"Alright. Lets go" Itachi followed the blonde one shadows
.....
"Well....infiltration is a success. It was easier than i thought. Too easy" Jiraiya said, looking around grimly
'Ame hasn't changed a bit since the last time i was here. The heavy rain. It brings up bad and good memories'
......
In the tower, Pein stood there like a statue, gazing out at the landscape of Amegakure. Sensing a chakra signature, his head whipped around to face the direction it came from.
"What's the matter, Pein?" Konan asked, she was reading when she sense her childhood friend's sudden movement
"Someone has entered my Rain Barrier. From the feeling if the owner's chajra, he is a powerful individual" he answered, his Rinnengan glowed oninously
"Konan.....when i stopped the rain, life out the intruder with you your jutsu" Pein ordered
"Leave it to me" Konan nodded as she stood up
".....are you ready?" Pein asked as he we've through hand signs before the rain stopped
"I'm on it" Konan answered as she weave through handsigns before disintegrating into thousands of origami butterflies that began to scatter and search the village
......
"The rain stopped but another chakra signature replaced it. Its searching throughout the village" Naruko whispered to her partner, both perching in the balcony railing of an empty apartment and hidden out if view
"Its probably Konan" Itachi assumed
"Hide!" Naruko hissed as she tackled the Uchiha and duck under the table
.......
Jiraiya was immediately detected py Ko nan's flying origami.
'Jiraiya sensie? Why is Jiraiya sensie here? Did he caught a wind of us? Is it possible he could help us?.....i need to inform Nagato' Konan thought as she broke apart and reassumbled next to Pein
"Well? Who is it?" Pein asked, not even turning to her direction
"Its Jiraiya" Konan answered simply, waiting for his reaction
"I see. So Jiraiya sensie, huh." Pein mused
"What will you do?" Konan asked
"I think a reunion is in order." Pein said as he turned to Konan
"Lead me to him" Pein ordered
"Very well then, i will go a head and stall him until you get there" she said before teleporting away
..........
"Well.....i have been trying to lure out this Pein fellow, but i never imagine you would show up. You've honed your Kiekai Genkai magnificently, Konan. A one of my spy network told me you had died but i never would have guessed you turned into sheets if paper though. So who is it? Is it Nagato or Yahiko who is behind this so called God that this village preach on and on about" he asked neutrally
'Its better if she doesn't know i learned she is alive from Naruko and Itachi. I still have no idea where her side is' Jiraiya thought
Meanwhile Naruko and Itachi arrive within seeing distance but way beyond the hearing range.
"What are they doing? They're just standing there" Naruko whispered
"Shhhh" Itachi hushed at the blonde
Suddenly, Pein appeared out of nowhere making Jiraiya and the hidden two self proclaimed backup tense up and on guard.
'Forget about being the enemy. I love the orange hair, kinda like Juugo's. His eyes looks so cool. Look at at those ring- YOU'RE GETTING OUT OF FOCUS YOU IDIOT!' Kyuubi roared as Naruko's out of place thoughts were cut off
"Jiraiya sensie, this brings up memories. You haven't changed much" Pein stated
"Nagato.......you changed completely: i am also referring to your looks, as far as i remember you have red hair not orange like Yahiko's. I know you treat him like a brother but is it necessary to copy his style?" Jiraiya mused, the two in front of the Toad Sage sweat dropped
"I'm going out if the limb here and i am assuming that be cause you two haven't attacked yet. You aren't planning to.....at least not in the moment" Jiraiya said, still not letting his guard down
"Yes. We have no reason to attack you at the moment, Jiraiya" Pein answered, Jiraiya nodded
.......
While Pein explained why he and Konan joined Tobi and Yahiko's death. Naruko and Itachi waited for any hostile movements. Since they are out of hearing range, millions of scenarios swirled in the blonde's mind
"The suspense is killing me. At least they would fight now. It would rest my mind from thinking about it way too much" Naruko muttered
.......
"I see. So you two have split from the Organisation.......that's a relief! Phew. I really don't fancy fighting the two of you. One to two aren't a very good odds" Jiraiya smiled
"The odds were more in your favour than you realised......you have hidden reinforcement" Pein said, not looking at the direction if the two, the other Six of Paths appeared next to Pein making Jiriaya looked in shock
"That's the signal!" Naruko hissed and grabbed Itachi before flashing in front of Jirajya, in a stance
"You brat! What are you doing here?!" Jiraiya drilled his fist on the blonde's head
"Ow! What the heck was that for?! I came here to save your sorry ass!" Naruko yelled
"Of all the things you have done, this is the worse!" Jiraiya yelled, Naruko shrunk at the angry gaze
"Why would you do this? Itachi how could you let her go through simethbg like this! I thought you are responsible!" Jiraiya turned to the Uchiha
"Pervy Sage you know exactly why an he have no choice! I drag him along the ridec he was just looking out for me!" Naruko cut in, not wanting her teacher yelling at Itachi for some reasons
"I was looking out for your when told you to stay home!" Jiraiya hissed, making the blonde shrink again
Pein and Konan approach them as they watch Jiraiya chew on the Namikaze Uzumaki Heir who keep shrinking and shrinking.
"Ahem" Konan faked cough to draw attention to her and save the blonde at the same time
"So what are you guys talking about?" Naruko asked
"None of your business" Jiraiya said flatly
"Fine, be like that" Naruko pouted
The blonde crossed her arms emphasising her breast and showing her cleavage in the mini yukata that drawer Itachi's attention, Jiraiya drolled at the sight. Pein is also staring but at the pouted lips
'She's like a child. Its facinating that she can act so childish and still be a strong Konoichi, despite everything she went through. She's just like Yahiko. She's so innocent' Pein noted as he remembered Yahiko's childishness
"STOP STARING AT MY CHEST YOU PERVE!!!!" Naruko sucker punch Jiraiya that sent him soaring a 20 metters away
'Maybe not all that innocent' Pein did a double take
'He never dealt with Naruko's childishness before like i have. Needless to say, the simplest interactions between them could be interesting. She's a positive influence after all' Konan smiled
Itachi notice his former Leader's attention on the blonde, his thoughts were not amused
