Dawning Defects: What doesn't Kill You...Must Die

Fuck this. Sasuke said it and all of team 7 echoed it their Sensei included. They had enough. The leaf village went to hell. Tsunade's never sober. Danzo's in full control. The council just won't keel over even though their older than the hokage stone faces. The villagers are just awful. Orochimaru's back and doing creepy experiments....it wasn't safe. Not for Naruto. Not for Sasuke. Not even for Sakura. Kakashi didn't want anything to happen to his precious genin. He lost one team to that village. He would not lose another. So they left. All of them. Together. And they joined the Akatsuki. Because that was a perfectly sane decision. Oh yes.

Or the fic where team 7 defects to the Akatsuki, they thrive as nuke nins, and the hidden villages all get what they deserve.
