The Black Leaf (Part 1)

Chapter 35: Kakuzu and Hidan

The next day, I woke up early and gather my stuff, Itachi did the same. We walked outside together, he waited on Kisame and I waited on the so called Zombie Duo. I sat on a rock and looked at the big creepy statue at he entrance of the hideout. "That thing is so creepy," I told Itachi.

He looked at me and sighed, "you have no idea," he said in a low voice.

"Itachi, what is wrong?" I asked him, I knew he was worried but me, but being on missions with the other members of the Akatsuki was something he needed to get used to.

"Listen Izumi, Hidan can't die, he wont die," he turned to look at me, "if he tries anything on you, genjutsu is the only way out."

I sighed, "Itachi you don't have to worry about it, I'll be fine."

He cupped my face with his hands, "you don't get it, It's him I don't trust, he is a sadistic, perverted person." He whispered almost in my lips. "If he or any of them dares to lay hands on you, I kill them myself," bloodlust radiated from his whole body is was something scary.

"Itachi, it will be fine," I whispered back with a smile. He took a deep breath and pressed his soft lips against mine, slowly and gently. I brushed his face with my fingers and slowly pulled away, "they are coming," I said. Kisame walked out first and Kakuzu and Hidan followed him. Kakazu sealed the exit with the bolder and I turned to face Itachi, "I'll see you in two weeks then?" I said and he hugged me tight.

"Don't forget what I told you," he whispered in my ear before pulling away.

"I won't," I said with a smile.

He looked at me one more time, "please take care," he said as poked my forehead with his middle and index finger. 

"Oh come on, new girl, we got a long way to go," Hidan complained.

"Don't get poisoned," Kisame said before we walked our separate ways, "these two aren't as smart as Sasori, you will die."

"Fuck you Fish boy," Hidan snarled.

"He is not wrong Hidan," Kakuzu said. I ignored them and turned to see Itachi one last time before walking away, towards the Land of Fire. I felt uneasy about crossing the Land of Fire but that was the only way towards the Land of Rice. The first few hours I walked mainly in silent, Kakuzu and Hidan, complained and argued about every single thing.

"So, new girl," Hidan called.

"It's Izumi," I looked at him dead in the eyes, "Izumi Uchiha, since we are going to be working together might as well learn my name." Hidan's smudged faced turned in to a pissed off one.

Kakuzu laughed, "Izumi tell us about your abilities?" he said.

"What do you want to know?" I asked.

"I don't know, every single fucking thing," Hidan responded.

"Can you do the visual jutsu like Itachi?" Kakazu asked.

"Yes, but it's just a genjutsu, his Tsukuyomi is unique to him," I said and they looked at each other.

"Tobi mentioned you were a Black Leaf," Hidan asked looking at me, "what the fuck is that?" Kakuzu looked at me as well.

"A Black Leaf is an elite shinobi in charged of gathering information," I said not trying to give away so much information.

"So in in other words you are a badass spy?" Hidan asked with a stupid smile on his face.

"Something like that," I said.

"So that is why the leader assigned you to this mission, then?" Kakuzu said, "we are gathering information on Orochimaru and looking around the Land of Rice for his hideout."
