Pein sent Kakuzu on a bounty hunt with Hidan as his partner. I insisted for him to let me go but Pein asked that I hold back. Itachi and Kisame went out on a mission as well for some hidden scroll in the Cloud Village.
"Would Juno like a blow pop from Tobi?" My head swung around face to face with an orange mask. I smiled warmly at the swirls. "Juno would like that very much." I took a purple one instantly taking the wrapper off and sticking it in my mouth. Tobi did the same with a orange flavored one I'm guessing since his back was turned..
After doing some research, I found out my purpose for being part of the Akatsuki. It took years of gaining their trust to finally crack the code. All I had to do was figure out a way to leave without being suspicious. I marched over to Pein's office giving the door a strong three knocks. He said come in and that's what I did. Inside, Konan shuffled through papers while Pein examined something on his desk.
"Make it quick I'm busy." He neither moved his eye nor head to see who was about to speak.
"Master Pein, I would like to prescribe time off this weekend. My time will be occupied with various studies from our neighboring villages and I heard from Kakuzu a considerate bounty is supposedly centered in the hidden sand." I gave my proposal hoping for recommendation.
"You make an appropriate case. I'll give my consent seeing if there's no matters to handle before that time." His words echoed through my head.
I bowed in respect. "Arigato Master Pein." I left his office feeling like a heavily boulder was lifted off my shoulders.
Itachi and Kisame made it back later on that night so I welcomed them home like some housewife. Something I felt was much easier doing.
Few days later, we gotten news that two more of our squad have been taken down by no one other than the leaf shinobi. We were able to find bits of Kakuzu but Hidan was no where to be found.
Another loss. Another pang in my heart. My chest burned as my eyes grew puffy. Why was I getting so emotional? . I tried to recall Itachi's words about dealing with this sort of stuff, bout having something better to look forward to. What do I have to look forward to? There's nothing on the other side of the god damn rainbow for me. His empty words were just bull shit clogging up my brain. This will never end and nothing good will ever result from this madness.
The price to pay is too great, but somehow I endure it. Somehow.
The rest of the day I grew restless. For hours I walked back and forth in my room thinking on whatever came to mind. Every thought was sickening.
The Leaf shall pay.
Sorry if this was rushed. I'm kind of getting writers block over here.
