A Ninja's Road To Pain
                                               -Part 4-

Pain: Kill the Hokage...

Konan: My lord..are you sure? That is quite a dangerous mission to give to them..they are only Genin, and new members..they might get killed.

Pain: I'm sure they can handle it, if they get into trouble, you'll help them, won't you please, Konan?

Konan: *Looks down shyly* Y-yes my lord..as you wish.

Pain: Thank you, Lady Angel. Now then, do you all understand the importance of this mission?

Aukun: Yes, we do, we will not fail you, Lord Pain.

Pain: Very good, now get ready, the mission starts tomorrow morning.

Tobi: Oh! Kale, I almost forgot, Naruto wants to see you about something..

Deidara: Naruto?

Pain: Ah yes, the Jinchuriki, Kale you should go see what he wants.

Deidara: Yeah..he isn't shutting up...maybe you can make him? Hmmm?

Kale: Okay, I'll go see him..

After that, Kale followed Zetsu down to the prison chambers, so she could have a chance to talk to Naruto. When they finally arrived at his cell, Kale saw that he was chained to a wall with chakra restraining locks, and when he saw her, Naruto's eyes were full of hate and sorrow when he saw her uniform, the uniform symbolizing that she joined the Akatsuki.

Kale: Y-you wanted to see me..Naruto?

Naruto: Yeah...

Kale: What was it you wanted to see me about?

Naruto: Why...

Kale: Why?

Naruto: Why did you join them..why did you join the Akatsuki?

Kale: I-I had no choice, and Lord Pain sa--

Naruto: Don't call him that in front of me!

Kale: Sorry..Pain said that he was going to create a world of peace..with the Akatsuki..

Naruto: Look at me...does this look like peace to you?

Kale: No..not at all..

Naruto: You were my student..how could you betray me..betray the Hidden Leaf village?

Kale: No no! I didn't betray you or them! I'm still on your side!

Naruto: *Looks up at Kale* That uniform says you did..

Kale: *Hugs Naruto* I'm sorry..but, I am here to help you escape.

Naruto: Escape? How?

Kale: I know a secret passageway..it leads outside, you can make your get-away from there.

Naruto: What about you?

Kale: I still believe in Pain..Lord Pain, so I have to stay here, as a member of the Akatsuki.

Naruto: Alright..

Later........

Kale: See, we're outside, now if you take that path, you'll get back to the Hidden Leaf village in no time.

Naruto: Okay, thank you, Kale.

Kale: *blushes* O-oh..uhm, n-no problem Naruto..

???: Kale! Watch out! That's not Naruto!

Kale looked up to see Aukun preparing a jutsu, and Keitan with a kunai ready in her hand. Then Kale turned to see it wasn't Naruto standing beside her, but it was Orochimaru.

Aukun: Ice Style! Crystal Shard Jutsu!

Orochimaru had gotten lucky, the jutsu just missed him by a few inches.

Orochimaru: Hehehe...how did you see through my disguise?

Keitan: Go to Hell! Water Style! Water Shuriken Jutsu!

As Keitan's fatal blow to Orochimaru was about to land, someone deflected the jutsu at the very last second. Aukun and Keitan then saw who it was, Kabuto.

Orochimaru: That one was too close, try to make it a lil' sooner next time, will you Kabuto?

Kabuto: Sorry, her jutsu was a little faster then I expected.

Aukun: What kind of stunt were you trying to pull? You are right in the middle of Lord Pain's hideout. You might be an ex-member of the Akatsuki, but that doesn't mean I can't kill you, Orochimaru, you traitorous snake..

Kabuto: You shut your mouth! You think you can talk to Lord Orochimaru like that? Well you c--

With her extremely fast and swift movements, Keitan stabbed Kabuto in the chest with her kunai.

Keitan: Heh, and do YOU think that you can talk to Aukun like that?

Kabuto: You're quick, we could've used you on our team.

Aukun: Lay one hand on her, and you'll regret it.

Kabuto: Oh? Someone's getting protective...

Kabuto then moved in for the kill, one strike in ther neck would finish Keitan.

Aukun: *whispers* Ice Style...Dragon Claw Jutsu..

Kabuto then heard a terrible shout. He looked over to see Orochimaru laying on the ground, covered in blood, and realized he couldn't move his hands, both of them had kunai pierced in them.

Keitan: I told you if you talked to Aukun like that, you'd regret it.

Kabuto: Why you little--

And with one quick kick from Aukun, it broke Kabuto's neck.

Kale was still in shock, realizing that she had been just that close to Orochimaru.

Pain: Well well, I didn't expect that you two would catch on that he wasn't the real Jinchuriki, your Sensei Naruto Uzamaki, well done you two.

Aukun & Keitan: Thank you, Lord Pain.

Keitan: And what do we do with the bodies, Lord Pain?

Pain: Get rid of them.

Aukun: Yes, my lord.

Pain: Kale..

Kale: Y-yes? Lord Pain?

Pain: You knew that it wasn't Naruto, and you had also planned for this to happen to Orochimaru and Kabuto, so they would both get caught, right?

Kale: ....

Pain: Well?

Kale:  *Nods* Yes, I knew it was not Naruto..but it was Orochimaru.

Pain: I had hope so. Oh, Aukun, Keitan?

Keitan: Yes Lord Pain?

Aukun: What is it master?

Pain: Come with me, I have a new jutsu I would like to teach you.

Keitan: R-really?

Aukun: T-thank you, my lord.

Pain: *Smiles* It will help you greatly in the battlefeild....and it will also help you with your real mission.

Aukun: Real mission?

Pain: *Nods* Yes, your real mission...

Aukun: Is it...?

Pain: To capture the Jinchuriki..the real Jinchuriki...Naruto Uzamaki, host of the Nine Tailed Fox Demon..
