Kazu stood there emotionless, along with Kimido at his side.

They were about to go on a Mission to retreive the sky ring from Orochimaru.

Kimido had put him under lots of harsh training, resulting in making the Boy lean and fit, just as he was.

Kazu and Kimido excited the Akatsuki base, Kimido activating his Sharingan.

"Zetsu should tell us his location soon." Kimido informed. Kazu just nodded and sensed a chakra signature.

'He's here.'

A spiky claw like figure morphed out of the ground, its white half grinning.

"Its about 6 miles from here, hidden in the Rice Country. I heard Sasuke's there too." The black half said, the white half sporting an annoyed face.

Kazu and Kimido nodded simutanously, as Zetsu dissapeared, grinning madly.

-To the Rice Country-

Kimido, followed by Kazu, treaded across the pathway, stopping at a clearing.

Kazu nodded off to Kimido who returned the gesture,"Kai!" The raven said, a large green vault appearing.

They huddled into the vault, teleporting downstairs. Kazu and Kimido both activated their Mukoton abilities and merged with the ground.

Kazu traveled discreetly under the floor, sensing a chakra signature which he immediately recognized.

'Sasuke Uchiha.'

He morphed up and let himself be seen. Kazu wore a chakra mask, blocking his face except his eyes.

Sasuke turned around to stare at the man. His eyes widened at the red locks of hair and the Akatsuki cloak.

"Kazu? You are Naruto's brother!" He subconsciously asked, his face hinting a flash of fury.

Kazu smirked and said,"Hey Sasuke. Finally wanting to get stronger, Huh? You were nothing like him."

He dodged the fist aiming for his head flawlessly, muttering some words, he disappeared into the ground.

Sasuke narrowed his sharingan eyes in rage."Naruto is dead anyways, I killed him." He spat, forming some handseals. He shouted,"Kamui!" And a swirling distorted whoosh of air flew into a wall.

Kazu left the room and sighed, depleting his chakra."Foolish human."

He swooped across the ground below sensing anymore chakra signatures.

Then he heard voices in a room talking. 'Kimido probably already killed Orochimaru.'

Kimido activated his rinnegan."I have no time for you." He said, noticing Orochimaru's suprised state.

"Rinnegan!" Orochimaru whispered excitedly."If only I got it earlier..."

The air was thick with bloodlust, Kimido preparing his jutsu. He shouted,"Reido Tensei!" And three figures stood up.

They all rushed forward and made a diversion, as Kimido rushed over to the side and yanked the ring of the statue.

Seeing Orochimaru dead, he hurried on, wanting to waste little time. A foul stench littered the halls.

Orochimaru rose again, his body a snake-like form. Kimido stopped dead in his tracks, Kazu in front of him.

"Wha-" Kazu stopped when he took a whiff of air. He blinked in realization. Kimido nodded to him and unsheathed his swords.

Orochimaru's snake like form grinned at them both."Two? I'd like two doujutsu," He hissed launching forward."You're mine!"

Kazu was already activating his Susano when a figure appeared behind them all.

Sasuke Uchiha stood in the doorway, turning to look at them both."Orochimaru..." He muttered, full of hatred.

Kimido was prepared to make a clone, when Sasuke put his hands up in surrender."Don't worry.. I-.. was going to kill him myself earlier..."

Not fooled by the anxiety in his voice, Kimido raised his hand and a flash of black formed in his palm.

The black like sphere formed into a spear and rushed towards Orochimaru, who screamed,"Sasuke-kun!"
