Akatsuki Move Out! [All Akatsuki in Kiri Report]

 

The Great Naruto Bridge, a structure that connected the archipelago islands that made up Water Country to Fire Country. It had been built over a century ago, a symbolic landmark of the Water Country. The bridge had received its name due to a young boy having helped the people build the courage needed to rise against the tyrannical business man that had ruled their lands. A cute backstory to say the least, but a backstory she could hardly care for. Besides, she would not be using the bridge for she planned to head straight for Sound, and thus taking a boat would be much better than traveling through the outskirts of Fire Country, on top of that, faster. The only reason Saika was even at the bridge was because she had instructed the other members of her group that happened to be in Kiri to go there. And when they arrived, the group would be taking a boat to Sound.

Thus, she leaned against the structure of the bridge, an occasional glance at the waters below as well as the path that led to the bridge. She was excited for this meeting that would commence in Sound, especially since after the meeting she and her group would seize Sound as their own country. And it was due to the invasion in Sound that her children would not be present, not wanting the two girls getting in the way or worse, getting themselves killed. Thus once the invasion was over, she would make the journey back to Kiri to pick them up or request that their caretaker bring them to Sound, until than her children would remain in the hands of Neru.

She sighed deeply as her eyes opened, narrowing slightly as she could see a figure approach the bridge. A smile graced her lips, someone had finally arrived.

A smile would cross the lips of Saika at the words of Junpei, a boy that despite his skills was still a normal boy of seventeen, of course except for his taste for human flesh. “Hello to you too, Junpei,” she would say before he continued on with talking. His concern was not about the plans of Akatsuki nor what had been planned within the land of Sounds, but about the girl that had been kidnapped from Konoha a couple days ago. Of course this young boy assumed that Kami would be serving as a pawn in the chess game constructed by her. And though he may be somewhat right about her intentions with Kami, it was not the only reason why she had kidnapped the youngling. She would had answered the inquiries of the boy, but one of her trusted members soon arrived, his comment towards the boy meant to shut Junpei up. And made her chuckle at how direct Saito was.

She desired to see how this would play out, but Saika had not the time to watch whatever events would occur upon Saito’s comment. “Now, now Saito. Junpei is merely curious, though he should be warned that curiosity killed the cat,” Saika said, her voice filled with amusement as she glanced between the two males. “But since I really have nothing to hide from Junpei, especially since it merely pertains to what I desire to do with little Nori, I shall tell you since you seem to care for the girl.” She would pause, sigh deeply, before she would resume talking. “I merely desire a playmate for my little girl, Haruna. Nori served as an excellent candidate, thus she was taken from her home. The fact that she has a strong desire to burn Konoha to the ground is merely a lucky bonus.”

She smirked softly, pushing herself off the structure of the bridge. “Now if there’s no more inquiries, shall we be heading to Sound. I am afraid that those within the country have been waiting far enough for our arrival, and I do not desire to keep them waiting. Do you not agree, Saito?” Her gaze would primarily turn onto the face of Saito, that smirk never leaving her face. "I promise the faster we arrive within the country, the faster you shall receive the fun I have in-store for everyone." That comment had not been directed at Saito, but Junpei. It was as if she was saying that asking anymore question would slow them down, and thus she was advising against them.
