I cleaned the blood from the room. I looked at the guy who was passed out in the corner. I hear Zetsu rise up and I smirked. He looked around. the room was pretty much clean but the amount of blood-drenched rags was kinda scary. 

"Don't you think you went a little over the top. Shut up, I taught you well, can we eat him?" Zetsu said. 

"talk to Pein first. he might want to try and get more information." I said. 

I passed him a scroll that had all the information to Zetsu. He picked up the man and began sinking. 

"Oh I heard Kisame is coming to meet you. have fun." Zetsu said before leaving. 

I sighed and disposed of all the evidence. I would have to leave. From what I heard about the root they would be sending someone to check soon because they wouldn't have received the report. 

I left the hot springs paying. I walked through the forest nearby. My eyes narrowed and I pulled out both my katanas and jumped behind a person that snuck up on me. I held my blades to their neck before lowering them and hugging the person. 

"Dad!"  I said happily.  

He chuckled and returned my hug. I noticed a certain raven-haired ninja in the shadows and I looked at Itachi. Naruto was currently on a mission to find Itachi's kid brother but I'm sure he was already aware of that. 

Kisame pocked my nose and I poked my tongue out. He then began pinching my cheeks and I giggled. I looked up at dad lovely and I wrapped my arms around his broad frame. For I moment I thought back to that ninja and his pleading and guilt filled me. I, however, pushed it away.

~~~~Third person pov~~~~~

Itachi watched the two. he saw the guilt on Yoshie's face for a moment before she quickly pushed it away. Itachi knew full well this life was not good for her. She was only a member because of the connections she had with everyone but the guilt of her deeds would soon eat out her completely until she can't take it anymore. 

Itachi knew Kisame has begun to see it but she couldn't leave at this point without repercussions. As much as they all cared for her she knew too much and unlike her, all of them could push aside their guilt and strike her down if needed. well, all except for Kisame. He told Itachi if the Akatsuki decided to take her out he would leave and protect her. 

Itachi felt sorry for Yoshie it was only a matter of time and Tobi has become an official member meaning he would have her killed the second he saw her as a nuisance. Yoshie turned to Itachi meeting his gaze and he saw the worry in her eyes.

~~~~Yoshie's pov~~~~

I smiled at dad as he went ahead. I turned to Itachi and he walked towards me. I sighed and leaned against a tree. I couldn't get that guy Tobi out of my head. 

"Can I ask you about Tobi?" I asked. 

Itachi seemed slightly taken aback before nodding. 

"I first remember seeing him when he came into the base three years ago but I swear I've seen him before. IIt's like my emery has been messed with. Also, I can't shake this feeling that something is off about him. like he's hiding something. I'm probably just being paranoid but I just can't shake this feeling." I said in thought. 

"I can't say much but you should always trust your intuition. you're always seemed to be right." Itachi said. 

I looked up at him and he held a serious gaze. I know he always looked serious but it seemed different this time. This made me realise that there was still much I didn't know but I had to be careful not to say the wrong thing to the wrong person. I gave a small nid as more questions filled my head. Who was this Tobi?
