Back at the lair, Itachi helped Kisame up, and Pein vanished. Making sure that Itachi knows that if he screws up once more, it's over for him and Kisame.

"That bitch...broke my ribs!!" Kisame yelled out.

"Kisame, I can't take you with me to bring Naruto. But, that won't be a problem. I'll simply be serious for once against him." Itachi said....

Mean while, we see Eliza and Kyuuketsuki running through a forest at top speeds.

"Where are we going, Kyuuketsuki?" Eliza asked.

"I want to see who this Kakashi person is, who killed master." Kyuuketsuki said.

"Is that a wise move? We didn't come to Konoha to start any kind of war here...." Eliza warned.

"I'm not Kisame, Eliza. I know not to make a scene!" Kyuuketsuki said.

"Very well. (I don't want to take you down if you do make a scene, Kyuuketsuki, but I will if I must. Though, I too am curious as to what this Kakashi shinobi is like, who killed Kakuzu...)" Eliza said and thought to herself.

Ah, so we learn that Kakuzu, a former Akatsuki member, a man who once fought the first Hokage of Konoha, was the sensei of Kyuuketsuki. This strange, semi-beastly character. And, what is this talk of branches of Akatsuki?

"Kakashi, does he really still need help against Itachi? You saw first hand what he can do with his Mangekyou Sharingan." Gai said.

"Sasuke doesn't know what Itachi's true power is like. I've seen what he's capable of. Back when he was in ANBU..." Kakashi said.

The hospital room door slammed open!

"We've got trouble!" Jiraiya shouted.

"What is it?" Kakashi asked.

"Are you sure?" Tsunade asked one of the Konoha guards.

"Y..yes Tsunade-sama! There are two Akatsuki members on their way here as we speak!" He shouted.

"We don't need this right now. Damn!" Tsunade said, as she stood up from her desk, turned around, and looked outside of her window. "Get Naruto, and keep him near Jiraiya." Tsunade said.

"Who is coming? Which ones?" Gai asked.

"I, don't know. But they're entering the area pretty fast. We need to get out there in case they plan on attacking!" Jiraiya said. "Gai, you come with me. We'll get..." Jiraiya said.

"I'm coming, too." Kakashi said, as he slowly got up from his bed.

"You're in no condition Kakashi. We'll handle it." Jiraiya said.

Mean while, the scene changes to the hospital roof top.

"We should probably get going and see if master has any missions lined up for us. Maybe we'll go off in search for Sasuke." Sakura said.

"Yeah. Let's go." Naruto said, standing up, but still looking down.

At the village entrance....

"So this is the baby village, Konoha." Kyuuketsuki said, mockingly.

"Byakugan!" Eliza said softly, as she began to scan the village. Kyuuketsuki walked forward into the entrance as she stood behind scanning.

"Hey! Hey you! Stop right there!" Two Konoha entrance guards walked towards Kyuuketsuki.

"Two large chakra supplies....one very large on up top.....and over there, another rather large supply...." She said. "The largest one must be the Jinchuuriki Itachi is targeting." She said, as she noticed Kyuuketsuki went ahead of her.

"Mmmnn..." Kyuuketsuki mumbled, as he was on the ground, on top of the two Konoha guards.

"Don't you ever stop feasting? Get up!" Eliza commanded.

"Yeah, yeah." Kyuuketsuki said, as he wiped his mouth from blood, and licked that same blood off of his hands.

"Disgusting." Eliza said as she rolled her eyes.

"Then don't look!" Kyuuketsuki shouted at her, as he began to form a hand seal. "Now come to my, my pretties!" He said, as he completed his hand seal. "Akkanka Dedoko: Anchuu Fukkatsu no Jutsu! (Evil Release: Dark Resurrection)" He shouted. He then looked upwards, opened his mouth, and a purple cloud rose out of his mouth, in the shape of a grim reaper kind of character, and took the souls of the two guards, and brought them into Kyuuketsuki.

"Seriously, they're just guards." Eliza said, again rolling her eyes.

"STOP CRITICIZING ME!" Kyuuketsuki shouted with a funny but angry face.

"You'll be getting more than that." Gai said, as he appeared infront of Kyuuketsuki and Eliza, along with Jiraiya.

"OOooooohhh, a welcoming commity." Kyuuketsuki said with a smile.

"We're not here to fight." Eliza said.

"You don't look like typical Akatsuki members. Who are you exactly?" Jiraiya asked, as he noticed all of the red parts of the typical Akatsuki outfit were replaced with a sky blue color instead.

"That's most likely because we're not your typical Akatsuki members." Eliza said, as she looked up a bit and revealed her Hyuuga eyes to Jiraiya and Gai. They both had O_O looks on their faces.

"Y..you're a Hyuuga??" Gai asked, a bit puzzled.

"Yes." Eliza answered.

"I think he likes you." Kyuuketsuki whispered to Eliza.

"Shut up!" Eliza said as she slapped Kyuuketsuki away.

(This isn't good. I can only imagine the skill level of taijutsu she carries if she's an Akatsuki member.) Gai thought to himself.

"What do you two want here?" Jiraiya asked.

"Where is Hatake Kakashi?" Kyuuketsuki asked.

"That is none of your concern!" Gai said defensively.

"Heh! As we said, we're not here to fight. I just want to see who it was that killed my master." Kyuuketsuki said, with a grin.

"You're not welcome here. I recommend you both leave. Now!" Jiraiya said.

"There is no need to be rude about this. We aren't being unreasonable. We just wish to..." Eliza said as she was cut off.

"You'll be leaving now. We won't say it again!" Tsunade said, as she appeared next to Jiraiya.

"Heh......well now..." Kyuuketsuki said, a bit irritated this time.

There were a few moments of silence, both sides ready for battle. And Tsunade noticed that the strange female Akatsuki member had Hyuuga eyes. (Can she be...??) Tsunade thought to herself.

"So, it seems you're the Hokage now." Eliza said to Tsunade.

"I knew it." Tsunade said.

"I'm flattered that you would remember me." Eliza said.

"You were an S-Class criminal. Of the Hyuuga clan. You escaped after a failed attempt at the Fourth Hokage!" Tsunade said, with an angry face.

"Yes, well, I was weak then. It's certainly a shame he isn't around now, though." Eliza said.

"This reunion isn't very much fun without any blood shed." Kyuuketsuki said, in a very excited manner, releasing trickles of purple chakra from his body.

(What, frightening chakra!) Gai thought to himself, with a sweat drop pouring down his cheek.

"Do you still have that Herculean strength?" Eliza asked.

"Of course." Tsunade said, as she went for one of her hard hitting punches to drive them back. A large explosion could be felt, seen, and heard, from atop the hospital roof top. It caught the attentions of Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura.

"What the hell was that?!" Naruto yelled, as he saw Kakashi zip out of the hospital window.

End Chapter 8
