“Are you sure we got the right person, Sasori?” Deidararemaineddoubtful.
Sasori grumbled, “I think we can trust Kakuzuin this matter. His tracking skills are excellent. He is Akatsuki''s loyal bloodhound.”
...
...
...
“Fair enough.” Deidara shrugged his shoulders and knocked on the door. They found her inn and asked the innkeeper for her room. The owner reluctantly assisted. The fear in his eyes was visible.
Deidara knocked. No reaction.
Heknockeda second time.No reaction.
He knocked once more ...
“I hear you, you fucking dimwitted cretins!!! Stop disturbing my peace.” Asami barked. The girl sounded pissed off.
The door opened anda girl in a fluffy satin pyjamagreeted them. Herlong unkempthair touchedthe floor.
The girl yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes. Her eyes felt tired, and her hungry stomach roared, demanding a breakfast.
Asamired at her guests, narrowingher eyes.“Who are you to disturb my precious sleep? Why do you wake meup at such an uncivilisedhour?”Her illustrious guests were once again from Akatsuki. They probably didn''t learn their lessonst time.
Deidara blinked. Kakuzu informedthem their targetwas a girl, ... but notabout her actual age. The girl was bloody young. Petiteand innocent, a fragile porcin doll. This girl was supposedto be ck Princess, Konoha''s fearsome kunoichi.
Deidara remained cautious. “Pardon our intrusion, but we arrived to discuss matters of great importance with you.”
Asami tilted her head. “To discuss what? What do you want?”
Deidara cleared his throat. “We are searching for a certain girl.”
Asami feigned ignorance while herreached for hertrustedsword. They wanted trouble. They would get trouble. “Good for you, but what does the girl have to do with me?”
Deidara smiled. “You might know her.Her name is Asami. Her hair is ck andshe loves kimonos.”
“Asami ... Asami ... Asami ...”
“Her name sounds familiar.” Asami tilted her head. “Why are you searching for her?”
“We are interestedin her joiningour organisation. Her abilities and capabilites would prove useful.” Deidara smiled. Negotiations proceeded smoothly.
Asami studied her new friends. Her distrustdidn''tdiminish, but they seemed reliable. Herdoor opened, and they were permittedto enterher private kingdom. “You may enter.”
Deidara nodded and invaded her room together with master Sasori. Empty bottles littered and the sweet fruity smell of wine permeated the air.
Asami tiptoed across herminefield without tripping and snatched the nearest chairand bottle. The girl filled her ss and crossed her legs.“Might I offer you a ss?Not poisoned. Promise.”
Deidara respondedwith a smile. “We must sadly decline.”
“Such a shame.” Their rejection hurt Asami. “The wine. An excellent year.” Her lips tasted the ruby liquor, a heavy red wine.
“Tell me more about your little organisation?What do I gain from joining your side?” Asami leaned back in her chairand swirled her ss. Melodrama never hurt. “What can the famed Akatsukioffer me?I heard rumours. I heard that you strike fear into the hearts of yourenemies.”
...
...
...
Deidara contemted. “Protection. We can offer you protection.”
Asami raised her eyebrow. His response amused her. “Protection ... Uninteresting. Do I look as if I need protection? The entire world hunts me, but I am still alive. I neither require, nor desire your paltry protection. I want more. So, try again, what do I gain from joining?”
“Money, I guess.”
Asami dismissed him. “Moneydoesn''t interest me. I have my ways to get everything I desire without a single coin.”
“...” Deidara fell silent,and Asamifrowned. Akatsuki bored her. They offered her nothing of interest.
Asami sighed in disappointment. “I think we should end this fruitless discussion, but for the sake of curiosity, whatis Akatsuki''s goal?”
Deidara hesitated. “Pain never specified, but his goal is to changethe world.”
Assami halted her ss. Her guests elicited her undivided attention. “To change... the world ... This Pain is certainly an ambitious man. Please tell me more about him.”
...
...
...
Asami admiredher bewitching figure in themirror. Hernewcoat fit her. Thered cloudsentuated her eyes.
Her sleeves were loose as they didn''t have her size. Her figure was too short, but Akatsuki had a decent sense of fashion at least.
When arriving at Amegakure, she would arrange for a properkimono version tobe tailored.

“Come on, Ero Sennin!” Narutoined. “Let''s get started with the training. I can''t wait to get stronger!”
Jiraiya sighed, shaking his head. “Calm down, Naruto. Don''t get fired up. Dutye first. We need to gather information about Tsunade and her location first. Finding her must be our foremost priority. There is no point in starting your training before we do so.”
“Hmm ...” Naruto crossed his arms, clearly dissatisfied with the arrangement, but he relented, albeit only grudgingly. Ero Sennin was right, duty came first.
