*~*~*~*

Looking over at his partner for their assignment, Neji nodded his head and jumped down to land on a boulder, just over the snake that watched them with black eyes. She hissed before she slithered off. She had been one of Orochimaru’s summons and had been there to mark where it was best, and safest, to land.

Kotetsu followed after him and landed next to him, giving him a smirk and a knowing look. The chunin pulled out a sealing scroll, laying it out onto the ground, Neji using Konoha’s specialized hand language so that they didn’t tip anyone off. Ready? he asked.

Kotetsu waved one hand in a movement to ask for a moment before he started to unseal the parts to the traps that would be laid out around the various exits. He laid them out on the ground, putting the pieces together as needed. Once he was done with them, Kotetsu handed Neji his sets before he nodded his head to where the black and red snake was watching them.

Nodding his head, Neji followed after the summons to each of the safe spots, noticing that they were skirting the tags and various statues that had been made to look like rocks and fake nature scenes. He could just barely feel chakra in each of the statues though and he had no doubt that if they were tripped just right, they would explode.

Mentally reviewing the information that he had on the duo, Deidara and Sasori, he wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the explosions were made to be big. And that all of the statues and nature scenes were interconnected to all go off.

Landing on a rock, he knelt down and started to lay his half of the traps, watching as Kotetsu followed a different path to get him to another entrance. Ignoring him for the moment, he bit at his bottom lip and mentally recited what they had been told about the two nin that they were after.

Deidara was a missing nin from Iwagakure, and was well known to say, and annoy people with, his motto “Art is a bang!”. To most it was much more annoying than Naruto with his ‘dattebayo’ verbal tic. He also had a kekkei genkai called the Bakuton, or Explosion Release. From what they knew, only those who could mix Earth and Lightning chakra together could do it and usually only those who came from Iwagakure.

He had also apparently stolen Iwagakure’s well protected kinjutsu, a technique that gave him mouths on his hands that could chew the clay that he used, molding his chakra into the clay.

It was what made him even more dangerous after he left Iwagakure. Especially since he was just a single point shy of certifiably insane, and was unpredictable in a fight.

Thus why Neji had him as a target. Using the seals that Naruto had supplied them, he was to shut down his tenketsu and hopefully kill him in the process. Hopefully without setting off any of the damn statues that were laid out around the land.

Kotetsu on the other hand would be going after the man known as Akasuna no Sasori. The red headed man was something of a dangerous legend among certain circles. Due to this it had been decided that Kotetsu would be going after him since Genma wasn’t able to be there. Gaara had been nice enough to have information sent about him after he and Deidara had tried to capture the young Kazekage nearly a year before.

To learn that he had been a loyal shinobi of Suna had been a surprise for all of them. To also learn that he had been working on turning his very body into a puppet had made all of them wonder just what was going on in his head.

As far as they knew, the guy was a full puppet and the only living part of him was in his chest, they decided that someone with senbon knowledge would go best against him. He mused that it was a good thing that Kotetsu had trained with Genma in assassination with senbon before he had settled into the life of a desk chunin.

Looking down at the now hissing snake, Neji laid the last of the traps before nodding, standing to follow after the black and red serpent. She hissed softly, the sound of the pitches that he and Kotetsu had learned to listen for, telling him when he would need to hop up onto walls and crawl like a spider for the rest of the way.

‘Why me?’ he mentally whined, pulling on a set of thin, protective gloves before hopping onto the wall carefully. He crawled along it carefully, taking his time. He paused only once to pin his braid up and out of the way before he continued on his way, finding Kotetsu waiting for him. A senbon that was thinner than normal was tucked up into the corner of his mouth. ‘What is he? The second coming of Genma?’ he wondered.

Ready? Neji signed. Kotetsu nodded before he bounced over to the opposite wall, pointing to one of the doors that sat at the end of the long hallway. Neji nodded, continuing on his way, his eyes narrowed as he focused on keeping his chakra hidden even more than what the seal around his wrist provided him. Coming to perch over the doorway, he shifted enough to watch Kotetsu work his way over to another door, pulling out a seal.

Trading looks with each other, they pressed the seals to the tops of the doors and fed a bit of chakra to them, watching as they flared. They waited, wondering if the two men would come out suddenly and attack them. When there wasn’t any movement after the first two minutes, the two shared another look before nodding.

Neji carefully twisted his body around before he used his grip on the wall to move so that he could plant his feet on one side of the door. He eyed the clay that sat around the doorway. ‘This guy is paranoid,’ he moaned, shaking his head before he pushed the door open carefully.

He smirked at finding that Deidara was indeed dead, as promised, and jumped down into the room, being careful of where he landed. A small sand snake slithered out of his weapons pouch, most likely hissing insults at having to travel in such a way as it slithered to the floor. It took a moment to explore but found the right path to the body. Walking up to him, he activated his Byakugan and found that Deidara had just enough chakra to jump start his heart.

“Damn paranoid bastards,” he muttered. He closed all the points around the heart and the spot of fake skin and muscles, then jabbing two more spots that were hard to hit on a moving human.

Watching as the chakra died, cut off from the rest of the bodies natural flow and with nowhere to go, Neji checked Deidara’s pulse before he nodded. He pulled off the specialized sealing scroll that he had brought, unrolling it enough to seal Deidara away. “You know that we’ve lost our way when something like this comes easier to us than a damn battlefield,” he sighed. Rolling up the scroll, he gathered the small summons at his feet, tucking it into his pouch again, before taking to the walls.

He crawled over to Sasori’s room and raised an eyebrow at finding Kotetsu growling as he wiped his cheek. He didn’t look to be hurt by any of the man’s poisons, but he did have a few nicks that looked to be kunai misses. Sasori on the other hand had apparently attached chakra strings to his own damn body and ended up with senbon in all of his joints and a cluster in his heart.

“Fucker had a backup just in case his heart stopped. Luckily the asshole hadn’t had time to create new poisons to tip the damn things with,” Kotetsu grunted. “And he almost got away with restarting his heart. But I think he was more puppet and had three spots on his body with chakra to restart it,” he said.

“We’ll have to tell Naruto about that later on then,” Neji mused. “He wasn’t sure as to how the seal would react with a mostly puppet body.” Kotetsu nodded as he removed the cylinder that was all that was physically left of Sasori out of the puppet. He sealed the body and the cylinder into two different scrolls. “We need to return Sasori’s body and...bits to Suna after we get back, right?” he asked.

Kotetsu nodded as he rolled the scroll up. “Naruto and Kankuro are actually going to travel to Suna to give them the full report. At least after they have had a few days to rest. Gaara understands that we’re taking care of it.”

“Indeed.” Sighing, he smiled at the small green snake that was curled around Kotetsu’s ankle like a living anklet. “Let’s get going. We need to send a check in and still write our reports when we get home. And I have no urge to be found with this asshole’s body on me,” he said, Kotetsu snickering softly.

“If you behave, Hyuuga-chan, me and ‘Zumo will show you a good time,” Kotetsu drawled. He watched as Neji blushed and followed him when he jumped onto the wall to leave the cave system. Once they had dismantled their own traps, they found the edge of the statues and tripped one, letting them take out the hidden base for them. With a shared look, the two nin left the rubble and headed on home.

Neji had a feeling that somehow, someway, he had been passed on by death when someone not himself had made a very different decision for him. He decided that he would take up Kotetsu on that offer before he started to look for a serious relationship. One that wasn’t just a one night stand or a fuck buddy.
