Chapter 16: Conspiracy in Akatsuki’s ranks part 5
“It worked.” Neji said, leaning against the wall of a restaurant they’d stopped at to make the call…and eat. “J. Haijari didn’t answer, but someone else did and I was able to get information by posing as a member of Akatsuki.”
Kiba got up from his seat, a bowl of Ramen in hand and walked over to Neji along with Sasuke. “So, what did you get?”
“I got a location, the Mist village.”
“The Mist Village? I thought it was destroyed.”
“It was, but Akatsuki’s Headquarters is underground and it was about the only thing that did survive. The woman said that they “Have Itachi.” what do you think that means?”
Sasuke folded his arms, “They say it like they’ve captured him.”
“They are trying to kill him, that’s exactly what it means.” Kiba said, taking in another mouth full of the Ramen.
“Then they must have Konohamaru, we need to get there now.” Sasuke said, his word’s hasted by realization that they probably would kill Konohamaru.
! - ! - !
Konohamaru lay still with his hands tied behind his back, Reedamaru had made good on Lewis’s request and tortured him first. It involved a knife and some salt, Konohamaru could tell the ninja had enjoyed it…a little to much. But Konohamaru knew nothing so after 10 minutes or so Reedamaru said he had to take care of Itachi first and he’d be back.
Someone was supposed to be coming to take him to Headquarters so Reedamaru could ‘continue’. But instead he heard sound of fighting from above him, giving him some idea of where he was. He had to be in some type of basement.
‘What’s…going to happen to me?….Are they going to keep torturing me? No…I can’t take this anymore.’ Konohamaru curled up to a ball and clinched his eyes tightly, the sounds of the fight upstairs growing louder.
Then they suddenly stopped. Konohamaru felt a strong light on him from above, he rolled on to his back, feeling the hard ground on his bareback made the cut he’d received hurt a little more. The light was blinding at first, he couldn’t see anything until someone stepped into the doorway, even then the person was only a figure.
‘Great…their taking me…guess this is the end.’
“Hey kid, you alright.”
‘K-Kisame.’ He immediately recognized that voice, and realized that that Kisame must have been the cause of the fighting sounds. Konohamaru looked up with wide as and Kisame jumped down from the doorway, knelling over him. That was the last thing he saw, the wound on the back of his head made him pass out again.
! - ! - !
! - ! - !
Konohamaru woke up again, find that the wound on his back no longer hurt and had been bandaged. He was alone in a large bed with warm covers over him and a soft pillow under him. ‘This feels really good…’ He was comfortable, to the point where he didn’t want to move an inch.
As more of his senses awakened Konohamaru was able to hear a shower running, most likely Kisame who really needed it after all of that fighting. With a soft yawn Konohamaru pulled himself out of the bed and looked around the hotel room he was staying in. Which raised the question of how Kisame obtained it if he didn’t have any money.
“Huh?” Konohamaru finally realized that he was wearing nothing but his boxers, ’Where are my pants?’ He looked closer around the room, finding them folded on a nightstand nearby. With a small sigh of relief the boy put them on, noting the small twinge of from the gash cross his back that was bandaged with gauze.
“Hey, the kid’s up.”
Konohamaru turned around and saw Kisame walking into the room in robe, drying his hair with a towel. “Kisame?”
Kisame walked up to him, peering over his head and looking at his back. The wound was bleeding again from Konohamaru’s sudden movements. “Your seeping, look at me.” In a completely surprising move Kisame opened his robe leaving Konohamaru standing there wide eyed.
Then Kisame lent over him and pulled off the bandage getting a howl of pain from Konohamaru before discarding the bloodily fabric and closing his robe again. “What was that!” Konohamaru asked, looking up confusedly. “That hurt.”
“I know, that’s why I distracted you.” Kisame smirked amusedly at the boy‘s reaction which was mainly why he did it, finding his clothing laid across a dresser where he‘d left them. “The same principle goes for deflowering virgins--”
“Virgins? Huh--Wha?”
“I read this book once, this guy bite’s them on the ear to distract them from the pain. You ever try that?” Kisame asked with a hint of undetectable sarcasm and the smirk on his face growing into a wide grin.
Konohamaru shook his head realizing that Kisame was messing with him again. “No.”
“You should try it some time, maybe I’ll try it on you.” Kisame gave a small laugh.
Konohamaru stared at him blankly.
“Anyway, do you still have that number from before?”
“Number?” Konohamaru though about it for a second, then he remembered the piece of paper Lewis had. “No, I left it behind but I remember what was on it. 565-9032 ext. 457”
Kisame looked back at him with a raised eyebrow, “You remembered it?”
“Uh-huh.”
With a shrug Kisame put the phone on speaker and put in the first 7 numbers, then waited exactly 10 seconds until he heard a small click the put in the extension. “What are you calling that for?” Konohamaru asked.
“You’ll see. Just count of 2 minutes and tell me when your almost there.”
A man answered on the other end, “Haijari.” Giving his last name as the standard greeting instead of a regular Hello.
“This is Kisame. I finished my assignment and I got the kind”
They heard a semi long pause on the other end before the man said something, even then he sounded surprised. “I thought you were dead because of the storm, what happened to you?”
“I was babysitting, don’t ask.”
“Bring him in as soon as possible.”
“That’s not how it works, if you want him It’ll be on my terms.” Konohamaru tapped him on the shoulder telling him time was almost up.
“Of course.”
“I’ll be in touch.” Kisame hung of the phone.
“What’d you need me to count for?” Konohamaru asked.
“So they wont trace the call. Why else?”
Konohamaru shrugged “Where is Itachi?”
Kisame became suddenly serous when that name was mentioned. “They took him back to headquarters.”
“They have him? So why aren’t we trying to rescue him.” Konohamaru didn’t like being kidnapped, but he’d gained some level respect for both of them considering the situation they were in and how Itachi and Kisame had been ‘nice’ in their own, strange way.
“We can’t go now, we’ll be to close. They’ll catch us and we’ll be in the same mess he’s in.”
“So when can we go?”
“A few hours…Why are you so interested.”
Konohamaru shrugged “I don’t know, Why haven’t you killed me yet? Itachi’s not here and you could have left me down there.”
Kisame snorted, sliding his shirt on to him then putting on his black robe “The only reason your still alive is because Itachi wants you that way.”
“But…Itachi got captured, if your going to get him back then I’d just be in the way.”
“Keep pushing it and you will be dead.” Kisame growled annoyedly, he didn’t have that amused undertone he usual had when he made death threats to Konohamaru. He must have really been mad.
Konohamaru didn’t seem to notice it though, he actually wanted to know why Kisame had saved him “Why did you save me?”
Kisame sighed with even more annoyment, “Do you ever shut up? I’m going to go take a walk before I actually do kill you. Stay. Put. You understand kid?”
Konohamaru didn’t even have time to respond before Kisame walked out of the room. “What’s with him?”
! - ! - !
! - ! -!
Kisame wandered carelessly through the streets of the Snow Village, trying not to think to much. He mainly did this just to kill time, a few hours seemed longer when you were sitting in one spot.
He felt a kunai pressing against his neck and a body behind him. “Why don’t you take a small trip with me?”
Kisame looked back to see a hunter-nin only with out the uniform in plain clothes. “Haijari sent you didn’t he?” He asked, being pushed into a nearby alley. “Damnit, he traced us anyway, your early why don’t you leave and come back in a few hours.”
The knife pressed harder against him. “Don’t get smart.”
“Drop it.”
Kisame and the hunter looked over to the side to see Konohamaru hanging off a fire escape ladder high enough to be at their height with a shrunken press against the back of the hunter’s neck.
“Damn kid.” Kisame growled angrily. “What the hell are you doing here
“Saving you.” Konohamaru shot back.
“I don’t need your help, your just putting your self in danger.” Kisame told him.
“How?” Konohamaru’s voice was in a slightly angry tone.
“Hunters never travel alone. What, do you take stupid lessens?”
Konohamaru glared at him “Yes!” he yelled sarcastically.
The hunter press the knife harder, “Hey!”
Konohamaru and Kisame looked at him, answering at the same time. “What!”
“I still have this knife.”
Kisame rolled his eyes, shifting a his body little and grabbing the hunter’s arm, then sending a sharp kick backwards. Easily dropping the man to the ground with one blow. As soon as he was down 3 more appeared on the 2 roof tops above them. “Now you don’t, so shut up already.”
A fury of Kunais began raining on them, Konohamaru let go of the ladder and pressed his body against a dumpster for cover while Kisame waited in the open. Flicking his arms outward and releasing two Kunais with a thin almost invisible wire tied around them from his wrist.
Both of them flew past two hunters in a seeming miss, Kisame pulled them back with a sharp jerk, watching the wire run into and tie around their necks by the moment of the Kunai on the return trip. With little effort Kisame tugged on the wires and pulled them down to the ground. Letting go of the wire, Kisame sprinted behind the dumpster Konohamaru was waiting against. With out warning he snatched that shrunken out of his hands “Give me that.”
With Konohamaru’s shrunken, he dived out from behind the cover of the dumpster, tossing it in to the third hunter‘s head while the man reached for another kunai. Kisame springing on his hand then flipping on to his feet with a strength filled grace.
! - ! - !
! - ! - !
“He’s insane! I have to get away from him!” Konohamaru said agitatedly into the phone. “You have to get me away from Kisame, I’m at a hotel near the lake, room 6B. He’s about too but I think he said he‘s come back here around 1 in the morning. You have to get me outta here!” Konohamaru hung up with a relived sigh, turning round and finding Kisame standing behind him with his arms folded. “Why did you want me to do that?”
“I’m testing Haijari, you wait here around one, if Haijari’s wants to capture us he’ll take you hostage and tortured you for my whereabouts. In which case, *Shrug* I don’t trust him”
“Huh?! No way!!” Konohamaru shouted getting another one of Kisame’s amused smirks who was once again messing with him. He’d actually gotten quite good at it.
“Well can we go after Itachi yet?”
“No, still too early.”
“Well then if we have to wait, Train me.”
Kisame looked down at Konohamaru with a raised eyebrow. “Heh, alright kid. It’s going to be tough.” He needed to blow off some steam anyway, he couldn’t sneak in to Akatsuki headquarters with his mind clouded by anger. He needed to be at his absolute best if he stood have a chance at getting Itachi back.
! - ! - !
“I’m ready!” Konohamaru said waiting in a fighting stance. Kisame had lead him to a wooded area nearby which they could also watch the hotel from incase Haijari sent someone to ambush him.
Kisame looked at Konohamaru knowing he had no idea what he was getting himself into, “If you really wanna go through with this, come at me, I wanna see how strong you really are.” Konohamaru showed no apprehension and charged at Kisame.
Konohamaru jumped at him, pulling his arm back and throwing a punch at his head. Kisame lifted his hand easily grabbing Konohamaru’s fist and holding him in the air by it. With little strength, Kisame sent a jab into Konohamaru’s stomach, enough to sent the small body flying a few feet into a tree.
Hissing in pain Konohamaru held his stomach while he used the tree to get to his feet. Then dashed at Kisame with just as much energy as before, throwing another punch at him from ground level. Kisame let the boy hit him, the punches doing no damage at all as Konohamaru sent a flurry of them into Kisame’s stomach.
Kisame sent a soft punch into the side of Konohamaru’s head, knocking him back on to the ground. Then Kisame gave him a light kick to the chest that sent his body flying into the same tree.
Konohamaru held his head while he again got up, jumping at Kisame from where he was and sending a kick towards Kisame’s face. Kisame grabbed Konohamaru by the leg, hanging him upside down for a moment and watching Konohamaru squirm feverously to break free. Then tossing the boy aside in to another tree.
This time Konohamaru went through it completely, making Kisame cringe a little. He hadn’t meant to throw him that hard he just slipped out of his grasp. “Damnit.” Kisame sighed, walked toward the downed tree to find Konohamaru already getting up again.
Though he did so much slower and obviously in pain from being thrown through a tree. But when he was up he ran at Kisame with the same energy and persistence, “Huh?” He’d figured the boy would be quitting after that but he still was coming .
With a small yell, Konohamaru slid down on the ground feet first, attempting to give a sweep kick to Kisame. In response all he got was another kick harder then the others before it, sending Konohamaru sliding backwards along the ground to a stop a few feet away. The added strength was on purpose this time.
Yet again Konohamaru got up with out saying a word, springing toward a tree and kicking off of it diving at Kisame head first with his fist pulled back and his long scarf . Kisame held out his hand, gabbing Konohamaru out of the air by his shirt collar. Then sending a sharp knee in to his chest before tossing him away.
Konohamaru rolled to a stop against a tree, pushing himself on to his knees with his hands the wiping away a small amount of blood from his forehead. Kisame just watched as Konohamaru stumbled on to his feet and came at him again and again.
Kisame started hitting him a little harder each time, seeing how much he could take. But it seemed that Konohamaru wouldn’t stay down. He moved slower and slower because of the damaged he’d sustained, and his attacks grew weaker but not losing any persistence.
! - ! - !
Kisame looked at the boy pulling himself on to his feet for the countless time, watching him try again to attack him. It’d been 30 minutes and Konohamaru still didn’t give up one bit, it may have taking him much longer to get up back then when he first start, last time it took a whole minute, but Konohamaru kept coming.
Just watching it made Kisame star to feel increasingly bad about doing this, and each second he lost more and more of his will to continue. ’What dose it take to make this kid stay down?’ “Alright you can stop.” Kisame said.
Konohamaru immediately fell back and sat down with pants of heavy breaths. For him showing such persistence and determination and since Kisame felt so bad about doing this to Konohamaru, he decided to give him some actual training.
Standing over him he looked over the boy, deciding he was in good enough condition to do some light training. But what was light enough? “You have a lot of Chakra that you don’t know how to use, in fact you have a lot of potential. I’m going to teach you how to bring it out.”
Konohamaru looked up at him with grin on his face. “Are you going to teach me a Jutsu?”
Kisame shook his head, “Your not ready for a jutsu, you have to learn to use all of that Chakra you have first. It’s a powerful tool, in fact you won’t need me to teach you Jutsu when your done.”
“Great! Now how do I do that?” Konohamaru asked.
“Tell me what happened the other times you brought out that Chakra?”
Konohamaru looked up with a concentrated look on his face. “The first time….I was trapped under a dead fox and I couldn’t get it off.” Just remembering that moment made Konohamaru shutter. “And the second time is when Itachi was using Sharingan on me and Sasuke.”
Kisame thought about what he said, realizing that everything that triggered that Chakra was mental. And the first incident with the demon fox had more of an effect on him. “What did you feel like when it happened?”
“I was really wanted to get that fox off of me… I guess I was scared.”
“Was it because it was dead?”
“Yeah, some of it. And it was getting blood all over me.”
“So It looks like the only way to trigger that Chakra is to make you have that feeling you had before. If you can control that, you can control the Chakra…And I think a know the Genjutsu that will get the job done.” Kisame was referring to a Jutsu that made the target hallucinate.
If he did it enough times, Konohamaru would memorize the trigger and would be able to bring out that Chakra anytime he wanted. Kisame explained it to Konohamaru who reluctantly agreed.
Each time Kisame did the Jutsu Konohamaru’s body unleashed the Chakra, along with loud cries of fear and anticipation. Konohamaru tried not to focus on the dead fox on top of him that he kept seeing and feeling…concentrating on the feeling that he felt….
After an hour or so, Konohamaru had it down packed. He knew how to bring out the Chakra by hart, now all he had to do was learn how to use it.
Before Kisame could teach him more about it they saw a horde of hunter-nins storming the hotel, it looked like they couldn’t trust anyone in Akatsuki anymore…
They had to leave abruptly though, before they got caught. And Kisame deemed they were far enough away to get to Akatsuki’s headquarters with out trouble.
“Alright kid, we have to---” Kisame looked down at Konohamaru who’d fallen asleep while he watched the hotel.
Silently Kisame strapped his Samehada to his back and lifted the boy into his arm. He had a long way to go…Converting /tmp/phpdTJrV0 to /dev/stdout
“It worked.” Neji said, leaning against the wall of a restaurant they’d stopped at to make the call…and eat. “J. Haijari didn’t answer, but someone else did and I was able to get information by posing as a member of Akatsuki.”
Kiba got up from his seat, a bowl of Ramen in hand and walked over to Neji along with Sasuke. “So, what did you get?”
“I got a location, the Mist village.”
“The Mist Village? I thought it was destroyed.”
“It was, but Akatsuki’s Headquarters is underground and it was about the only thing that did survive. The woman said that they “Have Itachi.” what do you think that means?”
Sasuke folded his arms, “They say it like they’ve captured him.”
“They are trying to kill him, that’s exactly what it means.” Kiba said, taking in another mouth full of the Ramen.
“Then they must have Konohamaru, we need to get there now.” Sasuke said, his word’s hasted by realization that they probably would kill Konohamaru.

Kisame grabbed Konohamaru by the leg, hanging him upside down for a moment and watching Konohamaru squirm feverously to break free. Then tossing the boy aside in to another tree.
This time Konohamaru went through it completely, making Kisame cringe a little. He hadn’t meant to throw him that hard he just slipped out of his grasp. “Damnit.” Kisame sighed, walked toward the downed tree to find Konohamaru already getting up again.
Though he did so much slower and obviously in pain from being thrown through a tree. But when he was up he ran at Kisame with the same energy and persistence, “Huh?” He’d figured the boy would be quitting after that but he still was coming .
With a small yell, Konohamaru slid down on the ground feet first, attempting to give a sweep kick to Kisame. In response all he got was another kick harder then the others before it, sending Konohamaru sliding backwards along the ground to a stop a few feet away. The added strength was on purpose this time.
Yet again Konohamaru got up with out saying a word, springing toward a tree and kicking off of it diving at Kisame head first with his fist pulled back and his long scarf . Kisame held out his hand, gabbing Konohamaru out of the air by his shirt collar. Then sending a sharp knee in to his chest before tossing him away.
Konohamaru rolled to a stop against a tree, pushing himself on to his knees with his hands the wiping away a small amount of blood from his forehead. Kisame just watched as Konohamaru stumbled on to his feet and came at him again and again.
Kisame started hitting him a little harder each time, seeing how much he could take. But it seemed that Konohamaru wouldn’t stay down. He moved slower and slower because of the damaged he’d sustained, and his attacks grew weaker but not losing any persistence.
! - ! - !
Kisame looked at the boy pulling himself on to his feet for the countless time, watching him try again to attack him. It’d been 30 minutes and Konohamaru still didn’t give up one bit, it may have taking him much longer to get up back then when he first start, last time it took a whole minute, but Konohamaru kept coming.
Just watching it made Kisame star to feel increasingly bad about doing this, and each second he lost more and more of his will to continue. ’What dose it take to make this kid stay down?’ “Alright you can stop.” Kisame said.
Konohamaru immediately fell back and sat down with pants of heavy breaths. For him showing such persistence and determination and since Kisame felt so bad about doing this to Konohamaru, he decided to give him some actual training.
Standing over him he looked over the boy, deciding he was in good enough condition to do some light training. But what was light enough? “You have a lot of Chakra that you don’t know how to use, in fact you have a lot of potential. I’m going to teach you how to bring it out.”
Konohamaru looked up at him with grin on his face. “Are you going to teach me a Jutsu?”
Kisame shook his head, “Your not ready for a jutsu, you have to learn to use all of that Chakra you have first. It’s a powerful tool, in fact you won’t need me to teach you Jutsu when your done.”
“Great! Now how do I do that?” Konohamaru asked.
“Tell me what happened the other times you brought out that Chakra?”
Konohamaru looked up with a concentrated look on his face. “The first time….I was trapped under a dead fox and I couldn’t get it off.” Just remembering that moment made Konohamaru shutter. “And the second time is when Itachi was using Sharingan on me and Sasuke.”
Kisame thought about what he said, realizing that everything that triggered that Chakra was mental. And the first incident with the demon fox had more of an effect on him. “What did you feel like when it happened?”
“I was really wanted to get that fox off of me… I guess I was scared.”
“Was it because it was dead?”
“Yeah, some of it. And it was getting blood all over me.”
“So It looks like the only way to trigger that Chakra is to make you have that feeling you had before. If you can control that, you can control the Chakra…And I think a know the Genjutsu that will get the job done.” Kisame was referring to a Jutsu that made the target hallucinate.
If he did it enough times, Konohamaru would memorize the trigger and would be able to bring out that Chakra anytime he wanted. Kisame explained it to Konohamaru who reluctantly agreed.
Each time Kisame did the Jutsu Konohamaru’s body unleashed the Chakra, along with loud cries of fear and anticipation. Konohamaru tried not to focus on the dead fox on top of him that he kept seeing and feeling…concentrating on the feeling that he felt….
After an hour or so, Konohamaru had it down packed. He knew how to bring out the Chakra by hart, now all he had to do was learn how to use it.
Before Kisame could teach him more about it they saw a horde of hunter-nins storming the hotel, it looked like they couldn’t trust anyone in Akatsuki anymore…
They had to leave abruptly though, before they got caught. And Kisame deemed they were far enough away to get to Akatsuki’s headquarters with out trouble.
“Alright kid, we have to---” Kisame looked down at Konohamaru who’d fallen asleep while he watched the hotel.
Silently Kisame strapped his Samehada to his back and lifted the boy into his arm. He had a long way to go…Converting /tmp/phpdTJrV0 to /dev/stdout
