8 Akatsuki

"Are you serious?"Asked Kimimaro, he wasn't prepared for that in the slightest.His master was always a man who didn't cared about risk, but kidnapping the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki.....

"Yes i'm.You, Karin, Juugo and Suigetsu will go to Konoha and kidnap him.No actually, try to convince him first.Offering him a real home and power to protect those he loves, should be enough to lure him.Of course if he refuses kidnap him."Said Orochimaru.

"But what about the Anbu, and the Hokage?They're certainly taking extra mesures to protect him.

"Yes and no.Who was Uzumaki Naruto before ?"

"A prankster and a happy kid, from what i heard."

"Who did he prank?"

"...The Hokage and the Anbu..."

"Exactly!And it's not because he's incredibly stealthy, it's because they're too lax!If worst comes to worst, use your curse marks to beat them.You can do that in any way that you want, but i want him."Said Orochimaru in a commanding voice.

"Yes Master!"Said Kimimaro, he bowed and left the room.

'*Sigh*It should be easy given that the security in Konoha doesn't seem to be better than in the Manga.The problem is wave, it could truly become dangerous there, hmmm....Maybe i should go and observe from the shadows.But first i need to go to the Akatsuki HQ'Thought Retsu.

He got up and walked towards his own room.He entered it and avoided the sleeping girls to grab his equipment.After that he exited his laboratory and asked the location of Ame to the System.

[It should be in.....This direction!Yeah, walk in that direction for two hours and then you should see the village in the distance.]

Orochimaru followed the direction given by the system and walked for two hours.It was pretty calm actually, there was no bandits or beasts, just Orochimaru and the dense forest.After two hours he noticed that it started to rain, showing that he was nearing the village.He climbed a tree and saw the village in the distance.He travelled to it at Chunin speed and reached it.

'SS, what's my level right now?'

[Since you now have the seals, you're level 30 ]

'Should be good for now.The more powerful i'll become, the more difficult it will be to grow even more.'

He had his Akatsuki's cloak on him so the guards let him in, but not without shooting him a nasty glare.He chuckled and walked to the Amekage tower.After he entered it he saw a blue-haired woman waiting for him.

'Konan, as beautiful as i thought she would be!'Said Orochimaru, while Konan felt weird.She usually felt disgusted towards Orochimaru, but now the disgust had disappeared, letting place to another thing......Lust?

She shook her head and walked to him.

"You're late, Leader Pein is waiting for you.Most of the members are there, but it seems that Hidan and Kakuzu couldn't make it in time, they're still going for Sanbi."Said Konan, Orochimaru followed her as she lead him to a big room, in which could be seen a giant table surrounded by 10 seats, while the last one was at the front.

4 of those seats were empty, but it seemed that Orochimaru was the only one late.

"Take a seat."Said a powerful voice, coming from the last seat.There sat Pein,the leader(Not really) of the Akatsuki, watching the Snake with his dangerous purple ringed eyes.

Orochimaru sat down and listened to them.

"I have decided to step up the plan.We'll be actively recruiting for more members, which would lead to us having an army, or atleast an extremely big group.You'll all stay as main members of the organization, and as such you'll be able to command the lower ranked ones.You'll train those recruits if they need it, and use them to accomplish missions.We need more funds for the organization and most importantly, we needs to make a name for ourselves.The Akatsuki shall be known by everyone throughout the entire Elemental Nations!"Said Pein.

"Might i add that we needs to recruit talented individuals?I don't think that recruiting anyone with a big ninja rank or who seems 'good' is the best idea.We should scout for talents!"Said Orochimaru, stunning everyone a bit.Usually he was a lot creepier and less.....Energetic?

"Indeed, it's a good idea Orochimaru.Every members will be scouting for talented ninja to recruit , and when i'm talking about talent, i mean overall talent and abilities.We don't need people who're good only because of bloodlines."Said Pein as they all nodded.

"Very well then, dismissed!!"

They all began to exit the room as Orochimaru was soon the last one inside, besides......

"Why have you been looking at me during the whole meeting Orochimaru-Senpai?~"Said the 'Way too joyous to be a member of Akatsuki, good boy Tobi'.

"You can drop the act.......Madara."Said Orochimaru shocking Tobi.

[Host what are you doing?!]

'Playing with him.He will think that i'm still my arrogant self who thinks he knows everything, as such since i'm not supposed to know who he is,he won't suspect me as much, only thinking that i know too little to be a threat.Revealing a little, to hide something big.'

"........This brain of yours is way too dangerous, Orochimaru."Said the now serious 'Madara'.

"*Snort*Don't take me for a fool!I know everything about you, i'm not the Snake Sage for nothing!Even though i may not know every aspect of the story, i know enough to ask myself, why?What's your goal Uchiha Madara?"

"........My goal?"Said Madara in a low voice, even though Orochimaru heard him.He just hoped that Obito was as stupid as he was in the manga.

"MY GOAL!NO! MY DREAM!!IS WORLD PEACE!!"
