Chapter 11-Akatsuki makes it's move

Location: Unknown/Cave found somewhere in Amegakure

Nine holograms were gathered in meeting, waiting for someone.

In the midst of the darkness, a voice broke the silence.

"Akatsuki has been assembled." -Pain's voice echoed around room.

The members turned to look at Pain seriously.

"Konan, Itachi, Sasori, Deidara, and those among us that had not yet meet Kokushibo; Kisame, Orochimaru, Kakuzu, Hidan, and Zetsu... I am pleased to introduce a new member of our organisation."-Pain's voice remained stoic as his head turn to one side gesturing to everyone to look at the revered Upper Moon. "He joins us, the Akatsuki, today to help reach our goals. He is known by many titles, but his name is Kokushibo and he joins us as an ally."

Some of the members eyes seem to widen once they found out who was standing with them, before their lips curled into a smile. They were happy at the member they had just gained.

Time-skip: (Unknown amount of time passes)

Naruto walks calmly with his temporary teammates along the dirt road leading them to Konoha, Their mission was a simple one, capture the twin jinchurikis of the nine-tailed Kyūbi.

"It seems that we have arrived."-Itachi broke the silence between them as they glanced at the great walls surrounding Konoha.

Kisame's eyebrows rose as he looked upwards at the walls of the supposed glorious and beloved Konoha.

"Whoa....So this is Konoha huh. It's interesting don't you think so Kokushibo."-Kisame's voice was laced in poorly hidden excitement.

Naruto's eye held little interest staring at the walls.

"I guess so, yes."-Naruto dryly responded, before he turned to look at Itachi who had approached the wall and stretched out his hand.

"I can't tell what you're doing."-Kisame said looking at the Uchiha, who appeared to be feeling up the wall.

"Nothing big Kisame, I'm just deactivating the barrier around Konoha so we can enter without detection."-Itachi said, his voice laced in concentration as he poured chakra through the palm of his hand.

"I see, But how are you supposed to do that? How do you know where the barrier even is?"-Kisame said while curiously looking at Itachi.

"I use to be an Anbu agent remember, besides it's just moose code Kisame, with Chaka pulses I'm sending it'll remove the barrier so there won't be a chance of us getting detected."

Itachi sent one last pulse of chakra before they saw a ripple in the air symbolising that the barrier had dropped.

"Ok, we're clear. Let's move."-Itachi's voice was heard before they all entered Konoha without issue.
