Chapter 15: Conspiracy in Akatsuki’s ranks part 4
Sasuke pushed his way to the front of the crowd surrounding city hall, only to find that a lot of smoke was rising out of it. “Is this the place?”
Neji shook his head, “It was the place at lest….” He knelt down next to the body of a hunter-nin laying outside. He was from the lighting village just as the other’s back at Itachi’s house, all of Akatsuki’s hunters seemed to be from there. “He died recently, anywhere in a half hour range.”
Sasuke sighed, “So we’re close.”
“Yes, as soon as Kiba finds out what direction they went we can go…” Neji looked at the man again. “He was also from Akatsuki, I’m completely sure Itachi and Kisame’s organization wants them dead.”
“So what dose all of this have to do with Konohamaru?” Sasuke asked, walking through the crowd with Neji following behind.
“Nothing, none of this has any ties to Konohamaru. From what I can tell the only reason for telling Itachi and Kisame to take Konohamaru was to get them in the path of the storm. But that attempt to kill them clearly failed.” Neji sat down on a bench next to Sasuke, resting his head in his hands while he thought.
“This is very dangerous, we’re dealing with people stronger then your brother.”
“They can have him, I wanna know why they picked Konohamaru out of everyone in Konoha. This couldn’t have been random.”
“…Konohamaru is…was the Hokage’s grandson. Who better to take then the leader of the village in the path of the worst storm in history’s only living relative when the leader is dead if you want Itachi and Kisame to be in the path of the storm with out getting suspicious.”
Sasuke raised an eyebrow and looked at Neji. “Wow, Simple.” he said sarcastically. “I’m not even sure of you know what you just said.”
Kiba emerged from his search with Akamaru at his heals, “I got something. 3 pairs of footprints, one Konohamaru’s size, met and follow a forth set of prints. I found them over by the lake on the other side of the building.”
! - ! - !
Konohamaru had become oriented again after almost blacking out a few times. He was on his feet and able to walk now, once again struggling to keep up with the other 3’s steps across the roof tops of the city.
“We jumped out of a exploding building!” Konohamaru said hastily.
“Yes that’s very exciting and tomorrow we go to the zoo.” Lewis said sarcastically
“Your Lewis?” Kisame asked.
“Who else would I be?” Lewis pulled a “Here, make sure no one’s following us.” pulled a holder out of his coat that was filled with Shrunkens and tossed it abruptly back to Itachi.
“You help.” Lewis pulled another out and gave it to Kisame.
“Damn old man, how many of those thing you got!?” Kisame asked.
“One shoulder, one hip and one next to Mr. Lewis. Most pat downs don’t reveal it because most agents are often reluctant to feel up another man’s groin. Any other questions?” Lewis asked.
Kisame raised an eyebrow, “Yeah, what’s the weather like on your world?”
Lewis glanced back at Konohamaru, “If you want me to talk in front of him you may have to kill him later.”
“Huh? What!” Konohamaru almost stumbled in surprise but lost speed trying to keep his balance. Itachi saw he obviously couldn’t keep up and it was a miracle he hadn’t fallen yet, he stopped and lifted the boy on to his back.
“No.” Itachi said plainly.
“Fine I’ll do it.” Lewis said with a sigh, getting fierce looks from both Kisame and Itachi
“No one’s killing the kid.” Kisame said firmly, surprising Konohamaru a little considering how little care of his life he had when they started. “Now what the hell is going on?”
“As you may have realized Akatsuki wants you dead, the reasons aren’t clear but if you give me some details I can piece it together.” Lewis said, “First we need to get away from this place.”
! - ! - !
They stopped someplace relatively safe outside the city near a forest, it was a small clearing near a road. Itachi knelt down and Konohamaru jumped off his back, “Thank you.” The boy said reluctantly, getting a small discarding nod from Itachi.
“Alright, tell me what’s happened so far, I should be able to tell you why they want you dead then.” Lewis said.
That’s when Konohamaru notice something. “Wait a minute… You’re the only person they called, I was right there when they did it.”
Lewis looked down at him annoyedly. “What are you talking about?”
Konohamaru pointed an accusing finger at him, “If you’re the only person they talked to, how did all of those Hunter-nins know where we were going to be?” it was times like this when Konohamaru surprised everyone including himself.
Kisame and Itachi looked up at him, “He’s right, you must have told them where we were going to be.” Kisame pulled his sword off his back and held it outward towards Lewis.
“What? That’s preposterous!” Lewis said in his defense.
“So they tapped your phone?” Itachi asked, slowly advancing toward Lewis.
“It’s possible, you must stop jumping to conclusions.” Lewis said, right before Kisame sent a kick to his stomach and knocked him to the ground. Lewis tried to strike back with a punch but Kisame grabbed his arm, sending a sharp chop to his neck and knocking him unconscious.
“I have to hand it to you kid, that was pretty smart thinking.” Kisame said, checking into Lewis’s pockets for anything useful. All he found was a slip of paper with a phone number and a name. “Who the hell is J. Haijari…?”
“The C.O. who gave us this mission.” Itachi explained, looking over the phone number.
“Let me see!” Konohamaru asked, Itachi gave it to him since he was about to discard it anyway.
“Hey.. Did you hear that?” Kisame asked, looking around questioningly, he was sure he’d heard something.
“Bind No Jutsu!”
All three of them turned around to see a man…the same man from the train station from the mist village. And he was holding a thin red string that connected to Konohamaru’s neck. “Move and I kill the kid--”
‘Why didn’t I notice him coming…he must have been using a concealing Jutsu.’ Itachi though to himself, this man must have been an expert at Itachi’s level or above. And apparently he wasn’t finished yet.
“And if that’s not an incentive, there’s enough shinobi here to take both of you down easily.” As if on cue, hunter-nin’s started coming from all sides, surrounding them completely with numbers of 35 or so. “And if you even think about reaching for something--”
The man pulled the string lightly and Konohamaru screamed in pain, it didn’t just hurt in his neck but his whole body was paralyzed with pain. “You’ll hear a lot of this before you die.”
Kisame looked back towards Itachi, “What do we do?”
“We can’t fight against this many…if we didn’t have Konohamaru we could try at lest.” Itachi sighed.
“So we just stand here and get captured?”
“….”
The man eased up on Konohamaru, letting him fall to his knees. The man lifted him up by his head, getting a strong glare from the boy before he was knocked out with a sharp knee to the stomach. “Go ahead and use the Sleep Jutsu.”
All of the hunters began to do hand seals, the two could stand against one or two sleep jutsu, but not 60 at once.
“There taking us alive, got any ideas why?” Kisame asked.
Itachi shook his head no.
! - ! - !
! - ! - !
Kiba stopped at a clearing near the forest, “Damnit! They’re gone.”
Sasuke walked up behind him, “Then why don’t we just keep following the scent?”
Kiba shook his head, “There where a lot of people here at the same time, I can’t pick up their scent out of all of these. And there’s no way in hell I can follow their tracks.”
Sasuke looked around the clearing, filling with sudden rage “Damnit!” They were so close, and too late. He fell to his knees and pounded his fist into the snowy ground,
Neji walked towards Sasuke and stood over him placing a hand on his shoulder. “It looks like Itachi and Kisame were ambushed here, Kiba was there any deaths.”
“No, I don’t smell any blood or see signs of a struggle.” Kiba told him. Sasuke lifted his head, no deaths meant Konohamaru was still alive.
“Then I can give you this with out making things worse.” Neji handed Sasuke a slip of paper. “I found it nearby.”
Sasuke read over the text, the front had the name J. Haijari and phone number, the back had an actual note.
~Dear Sasuke: I know (well I hope) your looking for me. They said this number was to their C.O. whatever that is. I’m alright but some one is trying to kill Itachi and Kisame. This creepy guy who’s supposed to work with them --~
The text cut off abruptly in the middle of the next letter, as if something made him pull his hand away abruptly. Konohamaru was defiantly smarter then he acted most of the time, but it looked like the ambush happened before he could give more clues.
“This is the number to Itachi’s Commanding Officer?” Kiba asked, “How is it going to help us?”
Neji took the piece of paper from Sasuke and tucked it in his forehead protector, “This number is going to tell us who and where this person is , if we’re lucky we can use him to find Itachi and Kisame.”
! - ! - !
Kisame let out a soft groan of pain, feeling a light strain on his body. With opened eyes he could see his arms and legs were stretched out and chained to a water mill above a body of water. He seemed to be in a room like a dock or boat house because he could see a gate leading to the outside and a small port he was hanging over
He also was stripped down to nothing but his boxers and was freezing cold.
Two men were standing in front of him, Lewis and the ninja from the train station they still didn’t know who’s name was. “Look who’s finally awake.” Lewis said, walking to the edge of the water and looking over Kisame.
“What the hell!?” Kisame shouted, his voice was a little shaky from the cold.
Lewis got strait to the point, “Tell me what you know about us, and who you told.”
Kisame shook his head, “What is this some kinda torture thing?”
“He’s not talking.” The unknown man smirked, “I say drown the bastard.”
Lewis ignored him, “Tell me what you know.”
“I don’t know what your talking about.” He said this honestly now, he was so surprised that he couldn’t even thing of some smart comment to say.
Lewis shrugged, “We’ll soon know.” he said as reached over to a crank on the wall and began turning it at a steady pace. The mill also began to turn slowly, submerging Kisame into the water feet first.
He gasped at the sudden coldness, feeling it climbing up his body.
“They say someone’s face never looks quite as beautiful as when it’s contorted in pain…or something like that.” Lewis said, watching Kisame struggle as his body went farther and farther into the water. “And we’re about to witness it.”
The unknown man leaned forward until he was face to face with the sinking Kisame “Get ready, we’re going to do the torture thing .” He mocked Kisame, doing motions as if he was taking a deep breath and being submerged under water. Kisame shook his head and clinched his eyes as the water drifted above his neck and over his head until he was completely submerged.
Lewis stopped turning the crank and walked over to the ninja where they could see a barely visible and distorted Kisame struggling under the water‘s surface. The unknown man laughed, “10 minutes in this water he’ll either be crazy or dead.”
“5 minutes, he’ll give me what I need.”
“Whatever, I’m going to go work on Itachi... This is gonna be interesting.” The unknown man laughed, turning toward the door.
“Reedamaru, do the kid first. He’s the one that blew my cover he’s bound to know something.”
The unknown man deemed Reedamaru gave him a small nod and lifted two fingers to his forehead in a mock salute before he disappeared in the doorway.”
Lewis walked back over to the crank after watching the ninja leave, taking his time turning the handle backwards and lifting Kisame out of the water. Kisame let out another gasp for air, this time panting heavily, his whole body was shaking and his skin was paler then usual from the cold.
“Your turning blue already.“ The man joked “What do you know.”
Kisame shook his head violently, “Nothing! Fuck you, Bastard!” his voice was on the verge of hysterical, obviously this was getting to him. It was good news for Lewis.
“Your choice.” He shrugged, turning the crank again, submerging Kisame in the water with out any hesitation.
Kisame squirmed some when he felt the icy waters again, somewhere between when he was waist deep and when he was chest deep his hysterical demeanor lapsed back into his normal self before he went under completely. “You couldn’t have thought of a better torture then water? Do you know who I am?...Watch your back…I’m not dead yet.” Kisame grinned devilishly as his head went under again...
Kisame began looking along the water bed, finding that it was littered with metal scraps as if something had exploded and sank. A few large pieces in particular that looked like they came from the hull of a boat, which is what he guessed had sunk here and left this weakage They were similar to a rod in shape and protruded from the ground up to about a foot or so from his face, all of them were charged and had uneven and jagged surfaces. Some were particularly sharp.
If his hands weren’t tied he could reach them, but chains weren’t easy to break out of.
Kisame struggled against them, twisting and turning his arms and legs but he didn’t seem to be doing anything more then getting a few splinters from the wood he was bound too.
His only breath was starting to run low and he felt his lungs burning, his body screaming for air, he began wishing…pleading that Lewis would lift him out of the water...And thankfully the mill started to turn and Kisame breathed in desperately as soon his head rose was above water.
Lewis stood waiting at the edge of the dock, he lifted Kisame’s dripping wet chin up, looking over his trembling face. “Ready to talk?”
“Tell you what.” That same, evil smirk reappeared on Kisame’s face, and though he was shaking from the cold and bound by chains he still managed to look pretty menacing. “If you let me go now, I’ll leave you the use of your legs.”
“What do you know and who have you told?” Lewis asked firmly, ignoring Kisame‘s last comment.
“I let you touch me, I need a bath.” Kisame’s smirk grew in to a smile, even as he watched Lewis silently leave him and return to the crank laying on the wall, he started lowering him into the water for the third time.
...He waited until he was completely submerged, to the point where Lewis couldn’t see him well.
Kisame couldn’t break the chains, but he could ware down the wood. With that in mind he pushed his hands back, rubbing against the wood and feeling a dip quickly forming. Blood began to flow out of a cut formed on the back of his wrist and clouded the water with a red haze. Kisame ignored the pain, he was forced to bite down on his lip to endure the increasing instance of it that came flooding from his wrist. He started pulling his left hand down...then finally out of the chains abruptly, thickening the haze of blood drifting around him in the water.
Kisame reached outward and took some of the long metal scraps that he could reach. By the time he was done he was holding the smaller ones in his free hands and keeping two large pieces in his chained hand. He did it just in time as Lewis began to lift him out of water. ‘Heh heh...Idiot.’
Lewis, not particularly focused while he turned the crank, finally saw what Kisame had some how managed to get a hold of when the man’s shoulders lifted out of the water. “!!” With his first instinct he reached for a Kunai hidden in the sleeve of his coat but Kisame was too fast, tossing one of the jagged metal shards at Lewis with skilled aim, knocking the knife out of his hand before he could raise it. Then tossing the smaller one’s into Lewis’s stomach and knocking him to the ground.
Kisame reached over and untied the chain on his other hand, and with some interesting maneuvering, he did the same to the ones binding his feet. Kisame pushed off the stalled water mill, jumping the few feet over water surrounding him and landing on the ground. He took another look at his surroundings before he returned his focus to Lewis.
Kisame smirked again, picking up Lewis’s Kunai and lifting the injured man off the ground by his neck. He slammed Lewis against the wall and held him there, holding the Kunai to his neck.
“Tell me where Itachi and Konohamaru are.”

Then tossing the smaller one’s into Lewis’s stomach and knocking him to the ground.
Kisame reached over and untied the chain on his other hand, and with some interesting maneuvering, he did the same to the ones binding his feet. Kisame pushed off the stalled water mill, jumping the few feet over water surrounding him and landing on the ground. He took another look at his surroundings before he returned his focus to Lewis.
Kisame smirked again, picking up Lewis’s Kunai and lifting the injured man off the ground by his neck. He slammed Lewis against the wall and held him there, holding the Kunai to his neck.
“Tell me where Itachi and Konohamaru are.”
