Early next morning, at the hokage office.
.
"Lady Tsunade, they've completed their mission, they should already be back in the village by now", shizune ran into the office seeing tsunade standing at the window.
"Umm, lady Tsunade", tsunade was eating something when she turned around, "uhmm, shizune, what did you expect, I bet even that massive thing in sky was dealt with by him".
Tsunade felt something off though, "that little brat, I sent with him didn't do anything outrageous did she".
"Shizune, let's finish with the rest of the paper work and head back, I've stayed hold up in this place, too much over these days".
"Ah, that", tsunade glared at shizune, so shizune just sighed and nodded, as to not cause an argument.
.
At the sajuu residence.
.
kuraiya awoke in bed with ino and Sakura next to him, his face changed remembering their competitive relationship, it's no worse than tenten and Temari.
Eventually they were cooperating and even began to see each other as more than rivals, but they still saw each other as a competition in winning over kuraiya.
Kuraiya smiled and wiggled his way out of their embrace to go and wash up.
.
Meanwhile at the akatsuki organization.
.
Pain was having a headache, he had been getting a lot of crane origami's recently, most of them are telling him, to stay out the way of a certain individual, he was glad he listened, especially seeing what happened in the sky.
At the time, he even questioned his own identity as a god.
But he still got his objective done soundly, so he was glad, his subordinates didn't get tied up with such a beast either.
But what annoyed him was that his two other subordinates, were attacked trying to gather information, "that damn might guy, I should find some time to settle accounts with him".
Yes, he's talking about might guy and his small team fighting kisame, but unlike in the anime, he was severely injured by tenten's onslaught, before he could use a fake body.
He didn't care about sasori dying, he already had a guess he wanted it to happen, so he left it be, yes sasori died from the shockwaves from Goku and frieza's fight, it completely shattered him into atoms.
As for deidara, he fled the moment he saw the fight in the sky, he almost died from kakashi's upgraded sharingan though, upon fleeing, he left Gaara behind, after losing his two arms.
Yes Naruto didn't transform into his evil state, due to kurama being completely afraid of the monster's in the sky.
Right now, his hand was on his face, but Pain was staring at the group below, "it's your turn to go and get the next jinchuuriki, you should wait for an opportunity to capture her alone".
He stared at the two below him and they replied with eagerness, "bout time".
.
Back to kuraiya.
.
He was frowning, tapping the knee like he had forgotten something, a light bulb quickly appeared in his mind and he stood up.
"That's it, I completely understand now", he was staring at a large fish in front of him, cooking on a large fire.
"See it isn't so difficult to understand right", to his right was Goku, with his arms crossed, well half way, one of his hands were pointing upward, like he was the one who found out the problem.
To his left was Vegeta who actually had his arms fully crossed, he scoffed before saying, "isn't it obvious, to cook this perfectly, we just have to wait for the smell".
Goku turned the fish over before saying, "if it's burnt on one side, we'll just burn the other, that way we'll get both crispy and delicious flavors".
Kuraiya crossed his arms, "I gotta go with Vegeta on this one, burning a fish is bit over the top".
"On my honor, I will not allow you to burn this fish", Vegeta stood up and turned the fish back in the middle.
"Ahh!, Vegeta! You can't, even my son's like it this way of doing one side burnt and the other soft", Vegeta scoffed before placing himself over the fish, "absolutely not, I won't let you tarnish this with your monstrous creation ideas".
Kuraiya already cut himself some, "mm, it's already cooked", they both turned to face kuraiya, with incredulous expression's.
He turned to face their gazes as well, "what?, if you wait any longer, I'll be sure to eat it all".
Their breath hitched and they quickly began their own picking too.
In the back, behind them, was nawaki with an confused face, [what am I even seeing.] He thought to himself in disbelief.
It wasn't long until he felt a gust of wind and four kids appeared out of nowhere, due to the smell wafting in their noses.
Nawaki was once again stunned, the fish in front of them was left with nothing but bones in an instant.
Vegeta seeing the little guy's, widened his eyes, "what, saiyan's..., saiyan children", he stared at kuraiya with a face of disbelief as well.
Especially when he felt their energy and seeing their tails, his mind was in turmoil, Goku chuckled, "guess, I'll have to grab another fish for all of us", he disappeared as he said this.
Kuraiya saw Vegeta's face and he smiled, "don't be so shocked just yet, I have more than just these four".
Vegeta instantly tensed up and he stared at kuraiya with an incredible feeling, [impossible, more than four kid's, but they look less than three years old.]
Kuraiya, seeing him look speechless continued, "I have at least, more than twenty".
"Ahh!", Vegeta let out a startled voice, he quickly masked it up after, he coughed, wiped some sweat on his face, then he replied dryly but in slow tone, "what a stud".
It wasn't long until Goku reappeared with two more fish, "yo! I got more fis.., huh?", Goku stared at Vegeta who's face was slightly red.
"What's up Vegeta, why's your face all red, was the fish not to your liking", Vegeta immediately tensed up, "shut up, idiot! Get the fish cooking already".
.
Some time later.
.
Th group all ate till they were full, out of the corner of kuraiya's eye, he saw kakashi spying on the group, Vegeta lifted up his arm and aimed it towards kakashi, he too sensed him.
Kakashi's pupils dilated, he immediately came forward with his hands up, "woah.. easy, I'm just here for a message, lady Tsunade has asked for you", he pointed at kuraiya before fleeing.
Kuraiya grunted, "I hope it's not another mission, she should let someone else take it, I had my hands full the last time".
Kuraiya felt something was wrong with the timing's, Frieza coming here, may have been luck, but kuraiya didn't think it was.
He felt another powerful figure, would walk over and say, "dirty Saiyan, I'm gonna destroy you and this planet", he felt a massive headache coming, but he relented and flew off to the hokage building.
Vegeta seeing him fly off, turned to the younger saiyan's, his face was a little strange, he even had the thought of testing their strength, but quickly shook it off.
.
At the hokage office.
.
Tsunade was standing in front of two people and shizune was outside the office.
Kuraiya finally arrived and he saw shizune seated, asleep behind the desk.
He snuck behind her and blew on her ear, she shivered in her sleep, kuraiya not seeing her wake up, decided to go straight to the office instead, on the way around the desk, he saw tonton and he instinctively licked his lips, sending a shiver down its spine, unknowingly the pig started following him.
(Kuraiya is thinking about bacon)
He muttered before turning back to shizune, "I should probably let her rest, she must've worked all night again".
He walked straight into the office and saw tsunade with a ferocious expression, she turned to he newcomer and she calmed down quickly.
"Tch", after seeing Kuraiya's figure, she went straight to her desk and sat down, tapping her table.
"I don't need to explain anything, as you can see, you should already know", she pointed to the two who were in kowtow.
Kuraiya's lips twitched, "ah this, you shouldn't have them like this, it's too much".
Tsunade snorted and leaned back, "too much, they should've thought about that before they targeted you".
Kuraiya walked over to the two and helped them up, "sorry about this".
They looked up at kuraiya with stars in their eyes, as if their savior had come to save them.
They stood up, but their backs were sore from the kowtow, kuraiya helped them to the seats before sitting himself.
Tsunade and kuraiya were seen staring at each other, after a while tsunade turned her gaze away, before she sighed.
She crossed her arms in defeat, "it's fine, it seems you'll always bring in more, no matter what happens anyway".
Kuraiya's lips twitched again, he turned to the two opposite him, "Tsuna, you should at least apologize to them".
Her face squinted, she waved her hand before saying, "fine, sorry Sakura and ino, it won't happen again, but if you try anything, I'll definitely make sure it does happen again".
She turned to kuraiya when she said 'try anything', Sakura and ino, breathed a sigh of relief, "we won't try anything".
Kuraiya scratched his cheek, then asked tsunade, "so umm, Tsuna, what did you want to tell me".
Tsunade leaned forward with a smile, "I've got a mission for you take".
Kuraiya stood up immediately after hearing that, tsunade seeing this also stood up, "don't even think about it".
Kuraiya forced out a smile, "huh, I was just going to get a drink, there's no need to be so jumpy".
Tsunade scoffed before walking over, "stop talking nonsense, you think I can't see through it".
She forced him to sit again and sat on the table in front of him, her gaze flickered to the pig that was hiding behind the chair near kuraiya, [the hell, since when did tonton arrive, wasn't she with shizune.]
She turned back to kuraiya and spoke, "the mission is for you to go to the rain village", tsunade stared for a moment.
"And I want you, shizuka and Kurenai to go on this mission".
As tsunade was speaking with kuraiya, the door to the office was slammed open, it was hiashi, he stared intently at kuraiya, "kuraiya! My daughter hanabi.. has been taken by the..".
He saw the other's and swallowed, "I'm sorry lady hokage, but..", kuraiya stood up, "don't worry, I already have her ki signature".
'Bang'
"Hmm", kuraiya looked out and saw a few people attacking the village entrance, a defense barrier was quickly wrapped around the village.
Kuraiya frowned then disappeared, hiashi seeing this felt relieved, "sorry for the intrusion", he apologized to tsunade and he quickly left himself.
.
Meanwhile with kuraiya.
.
Kuraiya was in front of the barrier, he didn't hesitate to push through it, this shattered the barrier completely.
Kuraiya narrowed his eyes and saw a group of people carrying a sack, in the distance, "found ya".
'Whoosh'
"What the hell is happening, we do this and someone else is attacking, I'd say we got lucky with this".
"Uhm, indeed, let's go back to the village, the raikage is expecting our return", they stopped moving, when their backs felt a cold chill.
They couldn't even see or feel what happened the next moment, as their bodies collapsed before they could even process what had happened to them.
Kuraiya who had arrived, cut them down and landed himself near the sack, "what do we have here".
He opened it and he indeed saw hanabi, who had flinched upon seeing kuraiya's face, "hoh hoh, the proud and noble hanabi was captured and scared, huh?".
Hanabi just stared blankly at kuraiya, she didn't hear him nor had she responded, kuraiya reached in and pulled her out.
"Alright there you go", he tapped her shoulder, before turning back to the village, "I wonder what's going on, back there, it smells like death".
He felt a small tug on his clothes, so he turned back to hanabi, "hmm..?".
