Shadows danced across the rooftops above the sleepy village of Konoha. The moonless sky aiding them, they moved with ease.

Two of the shadows stopped at a certain window, watching the occupants that lay asleep, or so they thought.

Danzō sat in his cell waiting, smiling at the moonless night. A slight noise caught his attention.

"You are late Fū, Torune." His voice was low and stern. The door to his cell melted open, and his rescuers bowed.

"Lord Danzō we apologize for being late, we had to watch our target closely. He is asleep as we speak." Fū answered.

"Why not eliminate him, he is a threat to the village." Danzō raised a brow.

They transported him to the compound before they were found out. "He was made special Jonin by the Hokage Lord Danzō."

Danzō rubbed his chin, his arm throbbing. "If he did not know too much, I would let him join the organization."

"As if I'd join 'your organization' Danzō" All three of them spun, facing a masked Arashi.

His cool blue eyes gave an eerie glow through the mask. Danzō visibly paled at the site, his guards standing in front of him.

"Relax, Yamanaka Fū, Aburame Torune. Do your clans know you're here?" Arashi playfully tossed a kunai in the air, his whole body relaxed.

"How do you know us!" Fū demanded.

"A lot of reading can take you places Fū." Arashi mused. "Anyway let's talk shall we Danzō, and if I were you I wouldn't try anything stupid."

"Talk about what, your out numbered here." Arashi began chuckleing, turning into dark laughter. Danzō took a step back, fear creeping up his spine.

"You've should have stayed put in your cell Danzō. You think I'll waltz in here." Arashi gestured to the building. "Without a full proof plan, Ha! You make me laugh Danzō. I'll show you how much of a threat I can be..."

"I-if you kill me, I'll kill those you hold dear!" He threatened, Arashi stopped gazing at him.

"You mean..." A puff of smoke faded away, revealing four emotional less bodies. "These? Yeah took care of them pretty easily."

Danzō fell back onto the cold floor, shock clear on his features." LORD DANZŌ!" His guards rushed to him.

"Now lets have that talk Danzō." Arashi moved a little closer, "Glad you know true fear, oh I wish Jiji was here to see this very moment."

Realzation struck Danzō. "H-how, I-I watched you died?" He was visably shacking.

"It didn't stick, and you've should have burned the body." Arashi took another step closer.

Torune removed his gloves, his hands purple. "You Torune specialize in poisonous insects. Resulting in your hands and part of your body to become purple."

Torune rushed him, Fū placed his hands in front of him. "Secret Art: Mind transfer."

Fū switched bodies with Arashi, making him stand in place as Torune placed a hand on him.

Fū went back to his own body. "Ha, not much of a threat." Arashi's body fell to the ground with a thud.

Danzō felt relieved seeing the body cold on the floor. "Finally, truly not a threat at all, such a shame."

Danzō walked over placing a foot on Arashi's head, placing pressure on it. "This time I will burn the body, making sure you don't come back again."

He stommed on his head hard, laughing as he did. "Now we just need to get the eyes back."
