The mission Hidan and Kakuzu had been given--to find a scroll--hadn't been one that had seemed exciting. But in order to get it, they needed a key--and when they stumbled upon you in the meantime, then things certainly began to get a lot more interesting. Hidan just hadn't been expecting everything else that might happen along the way...

Pein comes across something he never thought he'd see, and something he doesn't know what to do with. Can the situation work out in his favour? Or will it grant him much more than he ever expected?

I do not own any of the Naruto characters, etc. etc. You know the drill.

It was just another mission. There was nothing to suggest it would be like any other. However, Kisame finds himself a crucial part to completing it--but it's not quite how he expected.

Revenge is all that's on Sasuke's mind. It's what he lives for. But he has to be ready, and in order to do that, he might just have to reach out for help, and find something else entirely in the meantime. Something that might change his life-and him-forever.

A bounty coincides with a mission for Kakuzu, and it becomes a matter of revenge as well as money. But the only way to track the ninja down and kill him is to go to outside help, and it turns out they have a lot more in common than he had expected. It's only through working together that they'll be able to find the ninja and complete the mission-and maybe even discovering more than they thought in the meantime.
