Conflicted. (A Naruto joins Akatsuki fanfic)

Chapter 2: The Journey, The Base, New People and The Challenge

Naruto looked at the sky and then down again at Sasori and Itachi. Kisame was ahead looking for a camp sight. He would come back lead them too it and Deidara was with Naruto on his bird 'supposedly' doing Aerial search. When really he was talking to Naruto.

"So who was the guy in the green spandex jumpsuit and the kid with the dog" "Lee was the one is spandex I call him Bushy Brow and Kiba was the one with dog" "Really and you were friends with them" "Yeah, but i'm in a way glad I left" Deidara looked at him and smirked "Good, Now how about that fat kid" "Choji, Boy, i'm glad he wasn't here to hear that" "Why" Naruto grimaced at the last time he called Choji fat.

"Let's just say I'm glad I got to keep my limbs'' Deidara's eyes widened at this and smiled even bigger "Dude, So this pink haired chick hits you constantly for doing things she doesn't like and your Sensei pawned you off to another teacher during the chuunin exams to teach this kid Sasuke and the villagers hate you, Shit and I thought Mai and Akira lived a harsh life"

Itachi and Sasori looked up and sighed and went back to their conversation "Mai is insane.She enjoys playing games while Akira protects her from people or does he protect other people from her" Itachi thought for a moment and replied.

"I don't know but she needs help maybe Naruto could help her. I don't think she's insane. I think she puts it on as a mask to keep people away from her. Her Kekkai Genkai is strong, stronger than my Mangekyo. When I put her under. She reversed the afffects and as soon as she came out. She had my Sharingan all levels stating that this is one of her Kekkai's now. When I asked her what she meant".

He paused took a breath and continued.

''She replied that her Kekkai genkai allows her to copy other Kekkai's or steal them then she said she copied mine and she thanked me stating she needed a Sharingan added to her collection. That is what bothers me. She needs to learn how to properly control it because when she left and went down the hall. She froze in pain and then she started walking again as if nothing happened"

Sasori looked at Itachi and nodded."Hmm, Remember what Leader Sama said his Kekkai Genkai is the same but theirs deals with life his deals with death" "Yes, I remember and yes his does deal with death and theirs deals with life. I'm just concerned if he loses control"

Sasori and Itachi lapsed into silence and walked a few more yards.When Kisame came running out "Hey,Found our campsite" "Okay, DEIDARA, NARUTO, KISAME FOUND THE CAMPSITE, GET OFF YOUR FLYING ASSES AND MEET US DOWN HERE" "OK, SASORI"

---------------------------A jump, A crash, and Several beating's later--------------------------------

A bruised Naruto and Deidara sat rubbing their injuries in front of a campfire and a pissed Sasori was getting more branches and Itachi and Kisame were making dinner and putting up tents. "Maybe we shouldn't have landed on Sasori"

Naruto looked at Deidara and replied "Yeah and maybe we shouldn't have called him a puppet loving dork" They both started to laugh and quickly shut up when Sasori came in. His arms piled high with branches. He glared at them and said "Brats,Help me" They got up and each took an arm load and dumped it into the fire.

---A little while later---They sat in front of the fire and mapped out the route to the base "We need to go through Suna and then we should reach base." "Naruto don't you know the Jinchuriki there" "Yes, I don't think they know of my defection yet so if we leave early, We could theoretically pass through without notice well little notice" "Hmm, All right we go early then and hopefully they don't know of the defection, Now Let's go to bed " "Ok,Good night" "Good night"

--------------------------------------------Konoha------------------------------------------------------------

"Kakashi, Sakura, Ino, Naruto defected today. He went to the Akatsuki." Kakashi looked down along with Ino in shame and shock but Sakura just smiled at Rookie eleven and their sensei's standing in the back of the room."Naruto said something to Asuma, Gai and Kurenai before he left the Hokage building and went with the Akatsuki. I've already informed Jiraiya and tomorrow we will inform Gaara and the other Kage."
