Sasuke looked at the items, "Are these all of it?"

Chouji nodded, "Everything is here, Sasuke - kun. We even grabbed the broken fish bowl."

Sasuke used forceps to pick up a broken piece of the bowl, "Curious thing. What was in it?"

Ino turned a page on her board, "The owner claimed it was an octopus she was planning on making calamari. I find it suspicious though, if it was an octopus."

Sasuke, "Find it and bring it to me."

Chouji, "It? You mean the octopus?"

Sasuke, "If it really is an innocent little octopus then she is free to go as an innocent. But if it is not then.... "

Ino, "Ah! Understood! I will have it done in a few minutes."

Naruto meanwhile was running through the seal formation with Nagato who was looking at it curiously. The older Uzumaki knew that the younger one was a genius but to see it in person was a completely different matter. The seal in question was an air type seal to create a shield over cultivation areas which required a certain amount of dryness to be useful for certain plants to grow. Konan and Itachi were watching from a distance giving the two Uzumakis space to themselves. Sakura was on the other hand working with the merchants of Ame to make the seals that the two Uzumakis were working on saleable at a decent rate.

Sakura presented the contract she and the group created, "Itachi - san, Konan - san, we have come to an agreement."

Itachi took it, "I see, this is a good price for the seal."

Konan nodded, "Yes, this is acceptable for now. In the future, I expect the price to increase."

The dark haired man beside Sakura nodded, "Of course Lady Konan, that is our hope too. The two Uzumaki Lords have created multiple seals for us to sell slowly and steadily."

Konan, "Good, good, Makoto - san, I expect positive results."

Makoto nodded, "I shall take my leave now, my ladies, Lord Uchiha."

Itachi nodded, "Very well. Good day Makoto - san."

Sakura, "They look like they are having fun."

Konan chuckled looking at where Sakura was watching, "True, I have not seen Ato - chan this relaxed in years."

Itachi, "Naruto looks very happy too, I hope this alliance works out for their sake."

Konan picked up a cup of sake, "To a hopeful alliance."

Sakura did the same, "To a bountiful future."

Itachi, "To happy friends and family."

Konan's eyes twinkled at that as she drank the sake, perhaps making an alliance with Konoha would be easier than an enmity. Though that did end up causing a fall out between them and Tobi who was not at all happy with how things were going. The man wanted to extract the Kyuubi from the younger Uzumaki. Something that was completely unnecessary if Naruto himself was allying themselves with the rest of them. It had caused the Akatsuki to split into two groups a few weeks ago, with Tobi taking Zetsu, Orochimaru, Hidan and Sasori with him. On the other hand Kakuzu, Kisame and Deidara had decided to stay in Ame as long as they were treated right.

Konan sighed thinking about the fall out that happened not too long ago, though Pein or Nagato did not look like he cared much. He was always happy to welcome shinobi into his village and give them a place to call home, though Konan believes the main reason he was not so openly distraught was because of Naruto. The young man was a ray of sunshine with his bright smile, positive attitude and unlimited energy. He was always greeting them with a happy smile and had some idea or seal to talk about that could help people live better and easier lives. They had expected him to ask about the S - ranked nins that were obviously around the village but they had not.
