*DISCONTINUED* From The Ashes (Naruto x Akame ga Kill x Scorpion male reader)

Book II, Chapter 11: The Hunt Begins

3rd POV

It was dawn in the center of ruins. A woman was nailed to the wall. Two people were sitting down. One had a scythe and the other had a mask on and was holding some sort of paper. These two were Hidan and Kakuzu of the Akatsuki.

They heard movement and they perk their heads up. At the same time, a black substance was rising out of the ground.

Hidan: (scoffs) Zetsu, huh?

Black Zetsu: It appears to be done. Finally finished with your drawn-out ritual, huh?

Hidan: Grrr. Nothing but annoying atheist jerks who don't understand prayer!

???: No one could care about your bloody religion.

Hidan and Kakuzu look to the new voice and they see a buff man with a futuristic robotic eye.

Hidan: Who the hell are you?

Kano: You're new business partner. (sees body) So...these are those so called jinchuriki? They don't look like much.

Kakuzu: Leave before I kill you.

White Zetsu: Calm down now. The boss hired this man. He has information on this clan that will soon be a problem in the future with our plans.

Hidan: So? Do you have any?

Kano: Calm down there mate. (clears throat) I met this bastard at the Mortal Kombat Tournament.

Hidan: The one held at Shang Tsung's island.

Kano: Yeah. That one.

Kakuzu: So? How is this clan leader going to be a problem?

Kano: (laughs slightly) Tell me...have you heard of the hellish ninja, Scorpion?

In Konoha

Y/N POV

It was now morning. About 10 in the morning to be exact. I don't remember much from last night. Father had left for the Himalayan mountains in the more modernized of the world, or so he said. What I can remember was Sakura had met father and she stayed over.

I lift my head slightly and I'm met with my adorable girlfriend, sleeping with her head on my chest while she wore some more comfortable clothing fit for sleeping. I kiss the top of her head and I lift her off carefully, making sure I didn't wake her up. Before I left the hospital yesterday, Naruto had asked me to help supervise the training he was going to do with Kakashi-sensei and Captain Yamato. I put on the my armor and clan clothing and grab my gear. 

I left the house and I see Poney up at the gate with a packed up bag and her katana by her waist.

Y/N: Leaving already?

Poney: Yeah. I picked up Najasho's trail a few hours ago so I'm about to depart.

I could already feel the tears welling up in my eyes. I may have met Poney a few days ago, but she already felt like family.

Y/N: Well...i-it was good seeing you.

Poney: (notices tears) Hey...don't worry. I'll come by and visit. There's no need to cry. (opens up arms) Come here.

I took a step forward and lean into her embrace. I hug her tightly, not wanting to let go.

Poney: Just keep your head held up high, alright?

Y/N: Yeah. You just stay safe, okay?

Poney: Will do little brother.

We release the hug and picks her bag up and leaves through the open gates. She stops before turning around.
