~ Toru's Hideout ~

You slowly opened your eyes and found yourself laying down on a bed in a dim room, the only source of light was a candle. You felt sharp pain on your head and rubbed the spot that Zetsu had hit to knock you out. You cursed under your breathe as you slowly remembered seeing Madara.

"Fuck, the last thing I expected was for him to show up... this mission just got a lot harder.." you say as you noticed there wasn't a door a window in the room you were in. You got up and put your ear against the wall. You heard men laughing in the distance.

"Seems like there is an exit out of here... but even if I do smash my way out of here, what then? I'll most likely alert the enemy if I did that... yet I can't just summon my way out of here, I still have to investigate the area... what should I do..." you thought as you bit your thumb. Then suddenly a piece of the wall descends to the ground forming a door. You got in a fighting stance as two men entered pointing their swords at you. Then you frowned as you saw Toru enter with a different attire on. He only smirked as he approached you.

"I see you're awake, my (Name)?" You raised your eyebrow and looked at him as if he was insane.

"Excuse me? If I remember correctly, I only belong to one man and you aren't him."

Toru only chuckled and made a hand sign. A seal appeared on your neck, causing you to feel intense, sharp pain throughout your body. You dropped to your knees and groaned as you tried to resist the pain. Toru undid the jutsu, went down on one knee, and grabbed your face and mad you look at him.

"My real name is Satoru, and you belong to me now. As for Kakashi, by now he should be dead in a river somewhere." He chuckled as he caresses your cheek.

"B-Bastard.. there's no way Kakashi would die so easily to a bunch of weaklings.." you said while breathing heavily. Satoru slapped you across your face. You spat out blood and frowned at him.

"Anymore smart remarks from you and I'll just hand you to Orochimaru. I hear he has unfinished business with the experiments he used to run on Hikairi." Satoru smirked as he notice your eyes widen from hearing your mother's name.

"How do you know her?!"

"She was supposed to be mine. That was, until that damn Riku stole her away from me. But not to worry, you're mine now." Satoru was about to pull you into a kiss, until you saw him being sent flying from being kicked. The two men panicked and ran to him.

"Boss, are you alright?!"

Satoru got up and cursed under his breathe as he saw the figure in front of you. You looked up to see the Akatsuki attire in front of you. But it wasn't Madara.

"I thought I made a deal with you Akatsuki people."

"I have no memory of being told that a deal was made with weak wannabe criminals. My orders were to retrieve (Name)." You felt relieved as you heard the man speak. The man stepped into the light, he had long raven hair tied into a pony tail with onyx eyes. Satoru frowned at the sight of him.

"Uchiha Itachi, never thought I'd meet you in my life. But I'm afraid I can't let you take her." Satoru got up and pulled out his sword. Itachi sighed, then he closed his eyes and opened them to reveal his Sharingan. Satoru and his men suddenly collapse to the ground. You blinked at the sudden defeat of Satoru.

"I'm surprised they didn't scream before they..." you felt a sudden sensation before you finished your sentence. It was like something was calling out to you.

"Look no one knows I'm here yet so let's escape while we still can. (Name)-san?" Itachi looked at you after he dragged Satoru and his men inside the room. You were focused on what you were feeling and ran out the room. Itachi was about to stop you but then put his hand on his mouth and coughed out blood.

"Shit.. I can't stay here much longer... I have to go after (Name)-san and get out of here." Itachi said as he wiped away the blood and went after you.

~ To Kakashi ~

Kakashi had returned to the hotel room to tend to his wounds and replenish his ninja tools. He knew, now that Madara was involved, that he couldn't handle saving (Name) by himself. So he made sure he had a backup plan before he left the village.

~ Flashback ~

"Yamato, I'm counting on you to help me if this mission comes spiraling down on me and (Name). Stay sharp and maintain a safe distance away from me at all times so the enemy or (Name) don't discover you. Understood?" Kakashi said as he closed 'Make-Out Paradise' and put it away in his bag. Yamato nodded his head as a response.

"Of course, Kakashi-sempai. I shall support you in any way possible. However, if I remember correctly, I believe the route (Name) is on is almost the same as Master Jiraiya's. As a precaution, I'll send a clone out to find him and ask for his assistance." Yamato shortly makes a wooden clone and sends it off in hopes of finding Jiraiya.

"Alright, but if it ends up just being us two it's alright. Just make sure you stay hidden until I give you the signal to come out."

~ End of Flashback ~

Kakashi sighs as he remembers Yamato's clone going after Jiraiya. He stood up and went to the window so he could signal Yamato to appear. But as soon as he opens it, a red wooden sandal hits Kakashi in the face as the figure is in the air in a kicking position. Luckily, Kakashi used the substitution jutsu before it actually hit him. Kakashi looked up to see Jiraiya in front of he with his arms crossed.

"Master Jiraiya, I-"

"YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD REASON FOR INTERRUPTING AND TAKING ME AWAY FROM MY RESEARCH!!"

~ Time Skip ~

After sitting down with both Jiraiya and Yamato, Kakashi managed to explain the situation to the both of them and was now only waiting for Jiraiya's response.

"Hmm... Alright, I'll help you guys out. But only because (Name) is like family to me, and I can't let the Akatsuki catch her. So what's the plan, Kakashi?" Jiraiya said as he stood up and started stretching. Kakashi went and grabbed a shirt from your bag then bit his thumb. He formed some hand signs then slammed his hand against the floor.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Poof!

After the dust faded away, eight dogs had appeared in front of Kakashi with Pakkun being one of them.

"The Eight Ninja Hounds at your service, what do you need Kakashi?" Pakkun says as he is casually sitting on top of a larger dog. Kakashi kneels down to them and extends his hand out to give them the shirt with your scent.

"I need you all to search around the area for (Name)'s scent. If you do manage to locate her, do not engage at all. Just come find me, alright?" Kakashi asks as the dogs surround the shirt and start catching (Name)'s scent. Pakkun nodded.

"You got it, we will keep you informed." The hounds scattered after they made sure they had your scent. Kakashi stood up and looked back at Jiraiya and Yamato.

"Now, we prepare until one of them finds (Name). I refuse to let her go and live my life without her."
