The Akatsuki House

Part 1

“Congratulations! You are the final four participants to survive the trials!!” Someone said. In the dim light of the room, one could see that this person was a man with long blonde hair in which some was kept in a ponytail and some was let down. He had the standard Akatsuki robe-jacket on and a headband across his forehead with the Stone Village insignia crossed out.

He is the man known as Deidara. And, as he stood there smirking, clipboard in hand, he was like the man he never looked like he was.

“So…” He said, looking at the clipboard, “According to the rules, all four of you have to fight one final match, hmmm.”

“Yeah, yeah, we already know.” One said.

“Hey shut up!” he snarled, “The first thing you gotta learn if you’re gonna be in the Akatsuki is to be respectful to the higher-ups, hmmm!” He pointed at them. “Especially if you’re kids!!”

All four stared at him coldly. He frowned back at them.

“State your names, hmmm.” He finally said.

“Ryko.” The first one said. He was a genin from the Cloud Village. He had brown eyes, short brown hair, and was thin. He also had glasses, which made him look very intelligent (Which was true).

“Uware.” The second boy said. He came from the Village of the Stones, where he was a chunin. He had brown hair, brown eyes, was dark-skinned, and very tall. He was very tough, like, a rock or something.

“Ryetsu.” The third one said. She came from multiple villages, but was found in the Leaf. She also had brown hair, but very long, and brown eyes. Although she was very short, her scars indicated that she had been through a lot, but she also looked very mysterious.

“Maara.” The last one said. She had long red hair, blue eyes, and looked as if she had seen better days. Nobody knows where she came from.

“Ah yes, Maara. We already know about you and your… family ties.” A voice emanated in the room. Then the door opened and in walked a man with spiky orange hair and piercings on his face. He had the Rain Village headband, which was also crossed out.

“There’s been a change of plans, children.”-The four frowned at the word ‘children’-“Instead of fighting it out, all four of you are being accepted into the Akatsuki!” He grinned, and then caught them all in one big bear hug. “Isn’t that great?!” He released them, and they started backing away.

“Oh yeah! I should introduce myself. My name is-

“Pein.” Ryetsu interrupted. “Leader of the Akatsuki, but you take orders from Tobi.”

“Well, technically-

“There’s  nothing to be technical about, Pein. Cut the act. We already know who you are.” She said.

Pein stood there for exactly one second before lunging at her. He pinned her by the neck and said “The only thing I will cut…” He tightened his grip. “Is your little neck if you don’t SHUT UP!”

He threw her aside and then went to the door again. “Come Maara. We have many preparations to do.”

She obeyed, but Pein stopped at the door and motioned to Deidara, who came as well.

“Feed them.” Pein said. Deidara nodded and tried to go forward, but he stopped him again. “And keep an eye on them. I don’t want them causing trouble.”

Deidara nodded again as Pein left, and then followed.

A few moments later, Ryko finally broke the silence. “Pein sure is enthusiastic…”

“You mean weird?” Uware replied.

“I don’t know…” Ryetsu coughed. “But I don’t like the way they call us ‘kids’.”   



A few hours later, Pein was walking down a hallway when Deidara stopped him.

“Hey, these kids may be a little much… You sure you want ‘em, hmmm?” He asked.

“Trust me, Deidara.” Pein answered. “I know what I’m doing. Besides, we picked those kids for a reason…”

The next morning…..


“WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!” Pein shouted outside. “THERE’S LOTS TO DO TODAY SO YOU NEED TO GET UP!!!”

Ryko was suddenly awakened by the sound of pots and pans banging together.  “I swear to God I’m gonna take one of those pans and shove them up his-

“Ryko!” Uware was already awake. “Wake up! We gotta go!” But it wasn’t Uware who was doing it, it was Pein! When Ryko and Uware bolted out the door they saw him parading around the front lawn yelling and banging.

Ryko started towards Pein, but Uware stopped him, “Come on!! We’re gonna miss breakfast!” So they continued onward, and when they reached the main hall they were greeted by their comrades and black cloaks thrown in their faces.

Ryetsu rushed towards them with her cloak. “Don’t you think this one’s too big?! I’ve been arguing with Dei-Dei all morning and he said it looks fine!”

“It’s perfectly fine, hmmm!” Deidara argued. “You just need to grow into it, that’s all! And stop calling me Dei-Dei, hmmm!”

“Why does mine smell like vegetables?” said Uware.

“Mine too!” said Ryetsu. “And it has the name ZETSU written on it!”

“Calm down every body, hmmm!”

“Uh… Dei-Dei?” Ryetsu stared at the door. Deidara looked too, and saw him standing in the doorway. “He” had two venus fly trap stalks on either side of him (luckily with a cloak on), and looked like he was about to go berserk. His name was Zetsu.

“Deidara!!! What did I tell you about taking my stuff you r-tarded piece of-

“IT WASN”T MY FAULT, HMMM!” Deidara pleaded.

“Whatever! Gimme those back!” He snatched the cloaks out of their hands. “You too, girl!” Ryetsu handed it back gingerly.

He turned to Deidara, who was shivering, and said “boo!”. Deidara fainted on the spot while Zetsu turned and left the room.

“Sorry about that…” A familiar voice said. Everyone turned around to find him standing in the back-The infamous Sharingan user, Itachi Uchiha!

“That happens every once in a while. And yet, they get the same results…” He gestured towards Deidara, who still wore his shocked face on the floor.

“Here.” Itachi said, as he gave out smaller uniforms. “You probably know who I am, so nice to meet you.” He smiled as came to shake their hands, except Uware, who kept staring at him.

“Um… anyway, I’ll just be heading out.” He made a hand sign, and POOF! He was gone.

“Uware?” Ryko asked.

Uware kept staring as he answered. “Something just doesn’t smell right with this guy.” “

“What?” asked Ryetsu.

“Something’s wrong with this guy, but I don’t know what…”

“Whatever.” Ryetsu waved it off. “We gotta go. They’re waiting for us on the other side.”

“What for?” asked Ryko.

“I don’t know, but I bet it’s somethin’ exciting!” she answered. The three ran out the door, hoping that their next objective would be a good one.
