"You lose, un." Deidara said. "Katsu!" With that, the clay bombs attached to the moth exploded.

The dust cleared away, but no buck tooth can be seen. "Where is he?" Kisame asked, scanning the area. Hidan went to Sakura and carried her on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Forget the f**kin' pest. Let's hurry and f**king find the sh**ty person that wants us dead." Hidan said.

To Konan and Pein...

"ARGH!" A cry of agony was heard. Pein and Konan jumped off a roof and landed on the fluffy street. They turned and saw a bruised old dwarf angel being corned by an angel with brown wings. Konan took out a kunai but Pein stopped her.

"You just messed with my robe. Do you know how expensive this is?! You better pay for this, geezer!" The angel shouted, pulling the old angel's collar. "I-I'm sorry. But I d-don't have enough clen." The old man said. "Why you!" The angel said, pulling his fist.

"Hey! Leave grampa alone!" A small voice shouted. "Cici!" The old man shouted as he spotted a little girl running towards them. "Oh? I'm sure Kami-sama would accept the kid as an apology." The angel said, smirking as he made his ways towards the kid, pulling out his weapon. The girl looked at the angel with fear. "Cici! Get out of here!" The old man shouted.

The little girl shut her eyes awaiting for the pain, but none came. She opened her eyes only to see herself in the arms of Konan. She turned her head and saw her grandpa being carried piggyback style by Pein. She looked back and saw the angel lying on his own pool of blood. "It's best not to take the image in." Konan said as she noticed the girl staring at the angel.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the old man's house. "Please come in. We must thank you for saving my grand daughter." The old man said, bowing. "Can you fill us up more about this village?" Konan asked, smiling. "My pleasure." The old man said, smiling back at Konan.

"Cici, please ready the tea and snacks for our guests." Cici nodded and ran off towards the kitchen as Pein and Konan sat on the fluffy couch. "Thank you for saving us from the rock dweller." The old man said, bowing. "Rock dweller?" Pein asked.

"They are known as the soldiers of Kami-sama. But 40 years ago, everything suddenly changed. The rock dwellers along with the cloud guardians became tyrannical. Nobody knows why. But when that happened the clouds in the cloud tree became dark." The old man explained as Cici came back with the tea and snacks. "Cloud tree? Does this happen to be the tree at the heart of the village?" Konan asked, the old man nodded.

"It's not the heart of the village. It's where the village ends." Cici said, making Konan's eyes widen. "The rest are probably by the tree now." Pein said. "Thank you for the information. We'll be taking our leave now." Konan said, bowing. "Take care. Come back anytime." The old man said as he waved goodbye. With that, Pein and Konan ran full speed towards the tree.
