The Beast Inside (A Naruto Fanfiction) #Wattys2016

Something I had to do

*** continue music ***

The snake comes down and takes off Deidara's left arm. I look over to Gaara and saw that he was beat up from the last few explosions from Deidara.

I look back over to see that I am surrounded by clay bombs. "You thought you were so smart with that snake. Hn. You will pay for it, yeah!" Deidara said looking mad!

Just a second after he said that I feel all of the bombs go off, and me falling to the ground. Without even knowing it I was on the back of Deidaras bird, wrapped in its tail. "Your mine three tails!" He said as a grin showed up on his face.

"Can I make a offer with you?" I ask weakly.

Deidara comes in and I whisper. "I want to talk to the Akatsuki leader. I want to come, just leave Gaara behind and I won't give you any problems."

Deidara thought it over and agreed.

I told you Gaara that I would protect you no matter what! Even if it costs me my life! I thought as the bird fly's away and I see Gaara staring at me with shock. I then shake my head telling him not to come after me. At first he didn't agree. But I gave him a glare and he stayed.

"So why do you wish to see the leader?" Deidara asked.

"First I wanted to know why you are gathering the tailed beasts. Second I want to ask he/she if I can join for immunity of Gaara. You saw that I battle great for a 12 year old." I explained.

"You know, that is pretty smart for someone your age." He said as we started landing.

Then Sasori came on and saw me.

"Where is the Jinchuuriki of the one tail?" He asked impatiently.

"He sacrificed himself for Gaara. He said if I took him instead of Gaara he would come without any problems. Never did get your name?" Deidara explained.

"My name is Hanshu Ryuza." I said.

"Hanshu, huh, I thought it would be something like Kami or Ura or something along those lines." Deidara responded.

*** one day later ***

"We are here!" Deidara announced.

He took me off the bird and walked me into this hall behind a rock. It took me down to a room with a person statue with nine eyes and two hands. When I walked in I saw a man with orange hair and rods in his ears, and on his nose, and under his bottom lip. He walked up to me and nodded to Sasori and Deidara.

"So this is the three tails? Why is he still up?" He asked Deidara.

"She said she would like come to here and ask if she can join the Akatsuki, in exchange for the one tails immunity." Deidara explained.

"Very well." He said and walked away

"I know he was the leader but who was he? Since I am new, can you introduce me?" I asked Deidara.

"He is Pein, the leader. Sure I'll introduce you." We walked over Tobi and Zetsu.

"This is Tobi and Zetsu. Tobi isn't a member but he wants to be." Deidara said.

"Tobi wants to play with the boy!" Tobi shouted.

Something feels weird about Tobi Isobu said deep into thought

"Sorry about Tobi, nice to meet you!" Zetsu said.

"I am Hanshu." I said and Deidara walked me over to another two. One was wearing a mask and the other had silver hair and a sythe.

"This is Kakuzu and Hidan. Hidan is the one with the sythe." Deidara said as we walked up to them.

"Hello." Kakuzu said and looked back down to count his money.

"Hello, can I sacrifice him for Lord Jashin?" Hidan asked creeping me out.

"No thank you." I said wanting to get away from him.

Then we walked over to a man with black hair and a man with blue skin and blue hair with a big bandaged sword, he looked like a shark.

"This is Itachi the one with black hair and Kisame is the one with the sword and looks like a shark. He can also turn into one." Deidara said

"Cool you can transform into a shark right? I can turn into any reptile." I said that and he looked surprised.

Itachi didn't say anything, he just looked at me through red eyes.

The Sharingan! Isobu shouts.

"The Sharingan. You are a Uchiha." I say.

Then Deidara took me over Pein, and a woman with a origami flower in her blue hair.

"Hanshu this is Pein as you remember and that lady over there is Konan." Deidara said.

"Hello I am Konan, what type of jutsus do you use?" She asked

"I use my clans specialty Scale Style. I can see that you can you paper style." I said making her smile.

They all took me over to a table where I took off my headband, but I didn't want to take it off showing my eye.

When I did everyone stared at it. I crossed out the Sand symbol with my brace on my right arm. And then I put it back on.

"So who will I be teamed up with?" I asked as Tobi came forward.

I forgot Maguma. I hope I will be able to get him.

"What's wrong?" I hear Tobi ask from behind.

"I left my pet at home. I need him for some of the attacks I can do. Kind of like double team attacks, transformation attacks and he also can battle on his own." I explain to the man child and Pein walks up.

"Fine you can go back to your village just for the dragon but nothing else. If you leave us we will be forced to kill you as soon as we can find you. You have two days. Go!" Pein said then I transformed into a Iguana and left.
