Kakuzu?" "Um, I'm sorry Leader-sama, but they didn't know anything, they just laughed at us ...", Kisame said guiltily. Pein raised an eyebrow. “That was all?” Kakuzu nodded. “And what did you find out?” Now he grinned cheekily under his mask. Pain flushed slightly. "Uh ... I still have to sort files." Pein disappeared into his office.

"Tell me Itachi, does the leader always say that when he is embarrassed?" Itachi just nodded. "I think we still have to go to Kumo, we have a lot of information about the mountain, but not about the stone." I also nodded. So the Uchiha and I made our way.

arrived in Kumo:

“I already have a plan.” I saw Itachi with a look that should read: Go ahead. He got it right and began to say, "The way I know the others, they'll have acted differently. One will have looked in the library, the other cross-examined everyone who came by, the next somewhere in asked a house, and so on and so on. I think we will- "" Look there! "I interrupted the black-haired man. Itachi followed my gaze or my index finger, which pointed to a shop that said "Mysterious". "Why not?" He said to himself and followed me into the store.

I was immediately struck by the oriental decor. Did I mention that I hate that?Don't believe The air was rather stuffy, there was a strong smell of "new". I hated that. // Wow, I didn't even know that there was something like that here. // I grimaced in disgust. "Come on now.", Itachi said and went ahead to take a look around this huge shop. Everywhere, allegedly flying carpets, magic balls, in between also precious stones, but not this one. When ER came into view, I quickly pulled Itachi behind one of the shelves. // What is HE doing here? We can't really use that now. // HE, was talking to a redhead who was wearing glasses. "What is it?" Itachi said now when he saw my pensive and at the same time panicked look. "Psst! Otherwise HE and this Katrin or whatever her name is you!" I whispered to Itachi softly. "Who the hell is HE? And who is Katrin?" Itachi asked me completely confused. "Oh no, that's right Karin was her name! And HE, well, he means your little brother, and we probably have better things to do at the moment." Itachi started briefly when he heard the words> little <and> brother <, and nodded but then. "And what about the stone?" He asked. "You go back to HQ and I'll keep looking for him." Itachi seemed like the next best thing. "Oh yes, take it here, otherwise he'll talk to me about you when he sees me.", I said and pressed my Akatsuki coat (dress) into his hand. Itachi nodded and disappeared from the store.

Out of danger, I went looking again. I rolled my eyes when I happened to see that Karin wanted to approach Sasuke again. but then I let that be his problem for the time being and kept looking. When I had worked my way to the cash register, which was strangely at the back, I saw it. The shopkeeper was just polishing it. -This one stone. // He really has an aura, just like Mr. Raiton (Masaru) said. So it has to be the real one. // So I went to the checkout. "Hello." the landowner looked up at me."Konnichi wa." Confused looks on my part. "Excuse me, is this gem for sale?" I asked the shopkeeper, who was wearing a sombrero and sunglasses, which gave a rather strange picture. He shook his head. "Nonono. This stone is for sale!" I looked at him crookedly. “What are they actually?” He tilted his head too. "Ich del gloße Mitopewata! I have something from every country! Switzerland, Germany, Italia, Fronkreisch, Mexico and many other Moncheriiiie ..." "Umm yes. I think you got it wrong in the dimension." The what-also -always-he-was nodding violently, so that his slombrero fell down and a turban came to the fore. // What a freak ... // "Yes I have! And I want to get into my dimension! That's why I have this stone!"

// One more word about this three-way language, and I'll knock him out and take the stone! Wait a minute ... not a bad idea at all! // "Do you know what is common in this world when someone like me is so pissed off?" "Nada. What then?" I prepared myself briefly inside. "That!", I shouted and simply hit him with a targeted blow that I had once copied from a movie K.O. and took the gem. "Hehe! Well!" I smiled.

I made my way back with the stone and everything went smoothly. When I arrived at the HQ, I also met Itachi, who luckily did not have to go through an encounter with Sasuke. "And?" Asked Pein expectantly. I proudly presented the stone to him. "Then it can go on. Was it difficult to get it?" I thought for a moment. Itachi did it for me. “It could have been difficult.” “Oh. More details?” I told him everything that happened. Pein nodded after I finished. (They often nod today!) "Then you've got around it again. And you didn't invent these Mitoding Churches freely?" I grinned. "Aren't we all made up?" (Exactly!xD) Pein couldn't tell me anything about that. I burst out laughing. "What's so funny now, un?" Asked Deidara. "That was an insider. But it doesn't matter. When are we actually going to set off for the Element Soul Mountain?" "Go to bed now. It's getting late." Everyone agreed.

um, the shopkeeper wasn't my idea! * innocent whistle *
ok, it will slowly come to an end, but you are not completely rid of the FF, there is again a lot of action (in a few more Kapis xD)! And in the epilogue there will probably be something to laugh about again, I don't know yet.
