❀The 3rd great ninja war has been raging on for 2 years now. Effort in the Leaf village is at a maximum but dwindling severely, meaning younger shinobi are being shoved out sooner and sooner, some straight out of the academy and onto the battle fiel...
≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾ -1st person- A lot of time had passed since that day in the pillow fort with Tobi. Thanks to him I now had a place to call home again, even more so comforting was the fact I wouldn't be branded as a monster. Though that didn't mean my mind wouldn't do that for me.
Their ginger leader gave me my own black and red branded cloak. It was a bit big on me which only granted googly eyes and coos from both Deidara and Tobi as they folded over from my cute attire.
One thing I didn't quite enjoy about it was the fact I had to carve over my head band. Another detail I hadn't noticed was that they all had their own headbands carved out. Each of them, some from the same village, all had a line dragged across its native symbol. It was almost sad to see, so many casted out from their villages.
I was hesitant at first but Tobis words reminded me that I did indeed have nothing to go back to. My mother was dead and I was wanted by the leaf no doubt. Better to just not worry about going back even though I deeply missed my friends.
Subconsciously my fingers trailed up to my neck and traced the frame of those old comforting goggles. Obito if you're watching I hope your not too disappointed in me. (As it turned out Obito was more that happy to see you do this)
Without a word everyone stood around me as my fingers left the relec and traveled north. Carefully my fingers unraveled that knot and untied the headband from my head. Placing it on the solid rock below, I took out a kunai and dragged it across. The scraping of the metal was deafening and with every scrape and spark I felt something in me tinge.

With the sudden burst of a party popper confetti erupted into the air. With the sound of cheers the akatsuki welcomed me as their newest addition.
"(Y/n)-chan congrats! Tobi baked you a special cake just for this!" Tobi cheered as he held a cute little cake above his head. It was all black with the same red clouds scattered over our cloaks. On top the cake were little clay figures of all of us. They were all grouped together all holding hands, it was adorable.
"Hey don't take all the credit! I helped too, hope you like it, hn" Deidara nodded to me with a reluctant grin.
"Enjoy it up, after this i'll be assigning you some missions." Pain spoke up ruining the good moment.
With a slight bonk Konan hit him across the head. "Oh hush let her enjoy this." She said cooly with closed eyes and a gentle smile.
The ginger huffed and waved the rest of the group to continue on.
Immediately we all dug into the cake, surprisingly it was my favorite flavor too. How did those idiots even guess it?
Munching on the cake with a look of ecstasy on my face I hadn't noticed the fact that Hidan was anxiously eyeing me. Sensing eyes on me I looked up instantly meeting with the gentle gaze of Hidan.
