Naruto had finally mastered kenjutsu. It had been 2 years since he's started training with the group, and he finally mastered the last thing he was required to. He smiled at Pein and said, "I'm ready." The orange haired man pulled out two rods and nodded, and they began to battle.

The human eye could not follow the movements of the two. Not even the sharingan would have been able to, as seen by Itachi who had given up on trying to track it. And when the battle was over, both Pein and Naruto collapsed on the ground and Pein said, "G, good job Naruto. You p, pass."

Naruto nodded, finally catching his breathe. Then he said, "Alright, Pein, i'd like to thank you for taking me in three years ago and helping me train."

Pein smiled and said, "No need." But Naruto shook his head and turned to the crowd of other Akatsuki members before he began to sing.

First things first
I'mma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh
The way that things have been, oh ooh

Second things second
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh ooh
The master of my sea, oh ooh.

He looked back at Pein and continued.

I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...

Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer.

Pein let out a laugh at the irony surrounding the song lyrics. And smiled at the truth in them.

Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh ooh
Your spirit up above, oh ooh.

It began to rain.

I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and rained down
And rained down, like...

Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer.

He walked over to Pein's form, laying on the ground and continued.

Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh
The blood in my veins, oh ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and rained down
And rained down, like...

He smirked at the hidden meaning to his words that only Pein and Konan would understand.

Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer.

Naruto hugged Pein and said, "I'm gonna go now. I have a goal and i can't reach it from within the Akatsuki. You guys will always be my family, and i'll keep in contact, but i need to make my own path."

Everyone nodded and gave happy smiles to Naruto. He let go of Pein and gave everyone else a hug, one at a time. When he got to Itachi, he whispered, "I'll let you know when I find Sasuke. And i'll knock some sense into him, or drive him absolutely mad."

Itachi smiles and whispered back, "Knowing you, it'll probably be option number two."

Finishing up his conversations, he went back inside. He quickly grabbed his tote and went to Nagato's room. He walked in, gave him a hug and said, "I'll miss you Naga-nii."

Nagato nodded and said, "Just promise me you won't attack Konoha without us."

Naruto sighed and nodded, "I promise. Goodbye." Handing over his cloak, he walked out of the room.

He then walked out of the hideout, and into the now dry weather. The blonde gave everyone a curt nod before turning away and running as fast as he could.

His face turned up in his insane grin and his eyes went the same as he whispered, "I'm coming for you Sasuke."
