Watch My Back As I Move On

Chapter 15: Village Hidden In The Clouds

The Following day...

Sakura lied on the couch, facing the television. 'Such a boring day.' Sakura thought. Zetsu emerged from the ground and said "Leader-sama asks for you." Sakura nodded and made her way to he office. 'Cha! Finally! Something to do!' Inner shouted.

The duo made their way towards the office. "Now that you're all here, let's starIt the meeting." Pein started. "I recently found a village with no leader. Perhaps, this is the right time for the Akatsuki to own another village besides Amegakure." Pein said.

"Where is this sh**ty village then?" Hidan asked. Pein simply gave him a smirk and pointed up, making everyone look at him in confusion. "Are you f**king messing with me, you sh**ty leader?!" Hidan shouted. "Shut up, Hidan." Kakuzu said.

"Could it be the village hidden in the clouds?" Sakura asked. "Hidden in the clouds?" Sasori asked. "Tobi knows! Tobi knows! There was a legend that the villagers residing in that village are too barbaric. They incessantly destroyed nearby villages. That's why God sent them to the sky!" Tobi said.

"Never thought that village could be real." Kisame said. "Pack everything you need. We leave in two hours." Pein said. "We're all going, un?" Deidara asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes." Konan answered. "Dismissed." Pein said. "I'm hungry, let's make snacks first." Kisame said, rubbing his stomach. "Hn." Itachi said. "Agreed." Sakura said, grinning. "I'll eat if it's Sakura that's cooking." Sasori said standing from his seat.

"You want anything, leader?" Sakura asked. "Anything will do." Pein said as Konan took loads of paperwork, making Pein groan.

In the kitchen...

Sakura entered with the others. Sakura unintentionally stepped on the wet area and slipped. Hidan caught her, his arms were shaking. "Oi, f**king pink b**ch. What have you been f**king eating?! You're too damn heavy!" Hidan said as Sakura stood up with such ease. Sakura looked at him and grinned. "Sorry. I forgot I have some weights on." Sakura said, continuing on her merry way.

'She already adapted to the weights.' Itachi thought. "Why the f**king f**k would you wear weights?!" Hidan asked, twitching. "Training." Sakura said, grinning.

Two hours later...

"We go with our partners when we get to the village. Gather as much information as you can." Konan said. "In Sakura's case, go with Itachi and Kisame." Pein said.

"We have to fly to get there?" Kisame asked, pointing up. "My art will do the work, un!" Deidara said, grinning. Deidara fished out his clay and molded them into 5 huge birds. Each partner hopped onto one bird.

A few minutes later, the village hidden the clouds is seen by the naked eye. "Deidara, Sasori. Head West. Kakuzu, Hidan. Head South. Itachi, Kisame, Sakura. Head North. Zetsu, Tobi. Head East. We meet up at the heart of the village within three hours." Pein ordered. "Dismissed." "Hai!" Everyone answered, parting ways.

"There's something odd here." Sakura said, eyeing the village resting upon the cloud as the trio hopped off the bird. Sakura looked around, feeling uneasy. "Sakura." Itachi called out. Sakura grinned and caught up to them.

"What's been bothering ya?" Kisame asked, looking at Sakura worriedly. "It's nothing, fish face." Sakura said, smiling as she walked between the two.

Kakuzu and Hidan...

"What the f**k is that?!" Hidan whispered as Kakuzu and Hidan hid beneath some bushes, staring at a winged kid puffing up a cigerette. "Shut up." Kakuzu whispered back.

Deidara and Sasori...

"Danna, un." Deidara said. "What brat?" Sasori answered. "I'm not drunk am I, un?" Deidara asked as the artists sat on the bird, looking down at a village full of winged creatures, some are puffing up a cigerette. "If you are, then that must mean so am I." Sasori asnwered, staring blankly below them.

Zetsu and Tobi...

"They're winged." Zetsu said. "They're angels, Zetsu-senpai!" Tobi whispered happily as they hid atop a tree.

Pein and Konan...

"What the hell are they?" Pein asked, looking at the creatures as they live their daily lives.
