  A/N I so totally FORGOT to mention that this is no longer NaruTobi… It is what it was when I very first begun writing it – FRIENDSHIP fic… Sorry, but I just think that it is better just being friendship.
Pein, Konan, Itachi and Kisame had already fulfilled their roles – it was up to the remaining four to find their missing teammate. With a rabid – literally – Jinchuriki on the loose, it would be dangerous.
Deidara looked at his temporary partner. Zetsu wasn’t having an easy time – he was still injured from the attack that had separated Tobi from them.
“Are you okay, Zetsu?” Deidara asked.
Hidan snorted. “Oh, suck it the fuck up, bitch – we’ve all had to do missions injured, and now it’s his turn, fuckface!”
“Shut up, Hidan.” Kakuzu growled.
“Make me, bitchface!”
“Shut up, un!” Deidara snapped, feeling a headache coming on because of Hidan. He turned to Kakuzu. “Can we leave him here?”
“I would love to, but sadly, we need him.”
“I heard--!”
“Shut up!” Deidara and Kakuzu shouted, almost at the end of their patience with the Jashinist.
   The four of them had eventually made it to the interrogation rooms after close to ten minutes later. They listened carefully, waiting for the right time to rush in and take them all by surprise.
“So the Akatsuki’s being set up?” A voice from behind the door asked.
The Akatsuki members shared confused glances as they heard this.
“Yes. We need to report this to Lady Tsunade straight away.”
The Akatsuki fell through the doorway once the piece of wood that they had been leaning against was removed without warning. They glanced up, finding a shocked-looking Leaf Shinobi looking down at them.
“What the fuck was that about, shithead?” Hidan growled, referring to the conversation they had just overheard. “No one uses me and gets the fuck away with it! Zetsu – get your fat ass off me!”
“Shut up, Hidan, yeah!” Deidara shouted as he tried to crawl out from underneath Kakuzu.
“Who’s using us?” Kakuzu growled, getting off of the pile of Akatsuki members that he had been laying on.
“We don’t know.” The man Kakuzu knew as Ibiki said. “We need to report it back to Lady Tsunade right away.”
“How do we know that it’s not a trick?” Zetsu asked, speaking for the first time since they had arrived at the interrogation rooms. He was nursing a wound on his arm from the fall, not paying too much attention to his surroundings.
“Look, if it were a trick, we would have killed you when you were in shock.” Ibiki muttered. “We don’t like you, and you don’t like us -- but if your leader is around, we need to work together. This sounds like a well-planned attack, and it could be enough to bring all of us down if we don’t work together.
“Where is Tobi?” Zetsu asked. “Give him to us and then we’ll tell Leader-sama.”
Ibiki sighed. He disappeared back into the room before returning with an unconscious Tobi in his arms. “We need to work together for this. Tell your Leader to gather all of your members and meet us at the Hokage Tower.”
And with that, Ibiki was gone.
-XX-
  “What?!” Tsunade slammed her fists upon the desk as he glared at Ibiki. “You’re kidding?! It’s not only the Akatsuki who are invading, but another unknown group?! And both the Akatsuki and us have been set up?!”
At that moment, every member of the Akatsuki walked in, watching the Hokage warily. So Pein did listen? But at what cost? Was he here to negotiate, or…?
“Some of my subordinates have told me that we’ve been played.” The ginger said quietly. “So right from the beginning? It wasn’t a random attack on Zetsu and Tobi?”
“No.” Ibiki explained. “It was a well-planned attack.”
“You want our help defending your village.” It wasn’t a question.
“It’s not so much the Hidden Leaf as it is the Akatsuki, Pein.” Tsunade growled, disgusted that she was forced to ally with criminals. “We believe that it concerns you all, too – and under normal circumstances, we would let you all get yourselves killed, but… It seems that we need to work together on this one – for all of our lives.”
“…” Pein’s eyes narrowed. He knew that it was just selfish reasoning on the Leaf’s behalf, but… He had to protect those under him, too. “I don’t let my subordinates get hurt, Tsunade – not while they’re under my care.”
“They took Tobi in, Leader…” Zetsu said quietly, holding said boy close to him.
“Zetsu...” Pein studied his subordinate carefully before a loud explosion had silenced them all.
-XX-
“Don’t let any escape!” Hitori shouted to her army, watching as thousands of rogue Shinobi poured into the Hidden Village, destroying anything and everything in their way. “Lead or Akatsuki; woman or child – slay them all!”
Hitori herself was perched up upon the Hidden Leaf’s front gate, watching the destruction unfold. There was just no way that anyone in this village was going to be spared.
Even with the Akatsuki here as well – nine of the strongest ninja in the world – the Hidden Leaf was just too outnumbered.
Hitori smirked as she watched the Leaf Shinobi try and defend their village. What she would find the most amusing would be watching the Akatsuki try and help.
Speak of the devil – the Akatsuki had just joined the fight.
Hitori smirked. This was going to be… entertaining.
-XX-
“My men will be wary of yours, Pein.” Tsunade stated, aware of the fighting going on around the tower. “They will attack the Akatsuki on sight, blaming them for the attack.”
Pein nodded. “Sign a form. Explain the situation. I’ll sign it too, and Zetsu will take it around as fast as he can, explaining the situation – with your signature, they cannot ignore an ignore to work together with the enemy. Deidara shall accompany him.”
Tsunade nodded, getting a form from the stack of papers hidden beneath her desk. She quickly scribbled out a message and signed it before sliding the paper across the desk towards Pein.
Pein signed it before handing it to Zetsu.
“Leader…” Zetsu whispered, looking uncertain about something.
“What is it?” Pein sounded understanding – caring – as he answered Zetsu, and it was then that Tsunade realised that the Akatsuki weren’t just a group of rogue ninja – they were a family.
“What about Tobi…?”
“He’ll be safe here.” Tsunade explained, feeling rather… confused about the Akatsuki at this moment. “Are you ready to do your job?”
Zetsu nodded, and he and Deidara quickly left through the now-smashed window.
“Hidan.” Pein turned to face the rest of his subordinates. “No killing Leaf Shinobi. Keep an eye on him, Kakuzu. Now – you two are to go to the largest wave and intercept as many as possible. Itachi, Kisame – your job is to look for injured Shinobi and bring them to the hospital for healing. Kill as many enemies as you see, but don’t go out of your way – your assignment is to rescue today.”
“Hai!” And with that, the other four were gone, leaving Pein and Konan alone with the Hokage.
“And what about you?” Tsunade asked the two leaders of the Akatsuki.
“We’re going to fight by your side.”
-XX-
Hitori had never been so amused before. It had been over three hours since the invading had begun, and even though she had started off with almost four-thousand Shinobi and was down to one-hundred-and-fifty, the Leaf was down to two-hundred-and-one, and only Pein and Konan were left standing out of the Akatsuki.
“Hmm…” Hitori mumbled. She realised now that she had underestimated her opponents. “They’re still too strong… The Leaf went down rather quick, but as for the Akatsuki… They’re frightfully powerful! And their leader if the strongest of all… But they are with Tsunade, the legendary Sannin… She must be healing them…”
Jumping down from her seat, she knew that she was going to have to get involved in this – her ‘army’ was depleting quicker than the Leaf was, and if this kept up, she would be out of forces. There was only one thing left to do – especially now that she was only down to thirty men.
-XX-
Pein knew that he had to finish this quickly or he would be out of chakra. He was just about to use Shinra Tensei and put an end to the fighting when a loud, familiar scream from behind him grabbed his attention.
Pein turned and looked behind him, and he couldn’t believe what he saw. Both Tsunade and Konan were on the ground, and neither was moving. A woman with dirty blonde hair was standing before them, a sneer on her face.
“What would you expect from the mastermind behind all of this?” The woman taunted.
Pein didn’t even remember doing it, but he knew that all he could about was losing Konan – and that’s why he formed hand-signs.
“Catastrophic Planetary Construction!” Pein screamed, his body shaking.
And just like that, the stress-induced haze that Pein had been experiencing had all but disappeared. He looked at the corpse of the woman who had caused all of this trouble before running to Konan’s side.
“Konan…!” Pein whispered, picking the woman up and cradling her in his arms. “Please be okay…!”
The Akatsuki Leader was unaware of Tsunade getting to her feet, but he heard her when the woman spoke.
“Pein…” Tsunade whispered, surveying what was left of her village. “…You did this…”
“I know – and I’ll make up for it – but you’ve got to help Konan…!” Pein pleaded – Konan was the one person in the world who could reduce Pein to a pleading mess.
“Pein--”
“We’ll help you rebuild – we’ll do anything – just please – please save Konan!”
Tsunade nodded, taking Konan from Pein’s arms and laying her on the ground. She observed her injuries, checking them for a few minutes before making a prognosis.
“She’ll be alright.” Tsunade explained. “I can fix some of the life-threatening injuries now, but we need to get her to the hospital. Go and find your other subordinates and bring them to the hospital. I’ll send for Naruto to go and get Tobi from the tower and take care of him.”
“Hai.”
Pein disappeared as Tsunade lifted Konan, taking her to the hospital.
-XX-
Tobi lay, shivering, underneath the Hokage’s desk. He was crying hysterically as his small hands covered his ears – Naruto could only guess that he had been trying to block out the noise of the previous fighting.
When Tobi saw feet walking towards him, he screamed and scampered farther underneath the desk, quivering violently – all he could think was that he was going to be hurt.
“Tobi…” Naruto called, leaning down to look at the younger boy. “…It’s only me.”
Tobi took a minute to register Naruto in his mind before crying out happily and reaching for the blonde.
Naruto chuckled at Tobi’s childish position – the small boy was laying on his back with his arms in the air, as if he were a baby wanting to be picked up.
“Naru-kun…” Tobi murmured as Naruto picked him up. He rested his face in the blonde’s shoulder.
“Naru-kun, huh?” Naruto asked slowly, admiring the new nickname. He smiled. “I like the sound of it – but you should be calling me Hokage! Believe it!”
Tobi giggled, tightening his hold on Naruto. “Silly Naru-kun! Naru-kun isn’t strong enough to be Hokage!”
Naruto’s mood dampened, but Naruto knew that Tobi didn’t mean it cruelly or anything of the sort – he was just speaking his mind. He carried the Akatsuki member out of the building, but he stopped by the front door. There were bodies and blood everywhere, and he wasn’t sure if Tobi would be able to handle it.
“Tobi.” Naruto called.
“Hmm?”
“When I open this door, I want you to close your eyes and not open them until I tell you to. Okay? It’s a game that I like to play. We have to get home without bumping into anything. It’s fun game. You’ll like it.”
Tobi giggled. “Okay!”
Naruto sighed in relief. Thank God the kid would buy anything.
After making sure that Tobi’s eye was really closed, he opened the door and ran as quick as he could past all of the carnage. Thankfully, Tobi had kept his eye closed the entire way. It was only one more disaster avoided, in Naruto’s opinion.
