Chapter Nineteen

The Return of Kakuzu
Musica: Hurry! We have to get back to the village or he won’t make it!
Raikou: Shit! (starts running faster)
Kagami: (carrying Gama on his back) *Why did this happen!?* (speeds up)
Matasa: Faster! (catches up with Raikou) Do you think he’ll be alright?
Raikou: As long as we can get him to Sakura, he’ll be fine.
Gama: (opens his eyes) I’d rather see Tsunade.
Raikou: *Shocked* You’re awake!? How are you feeling?
Gama: Besides this giant freakin hole in my ches-(passes out again)
Musica: *Most of his internal organs are blown out yet he can still speak? What the hell is up with him?*
Kagami: What are we going to tell Hokage-Sama? The akatsuki is now in possession of The Six Tailed Beast!
Nagato: The Konoha council will deal with this matter, it’s in their hands now.
Musica: I’m the leader of this squad, I’ll take full responsibility for the failure of this mission.
Nagato: It’s not your fault, don’t blame yourself man.
Matasa: We’re about a mile from the Gate! Move it!
(Two medical-nin appear and take Gama)
Medical-Nin 1: He’ll be taken to Tsunade, Room 106.
Medical-Nin 2: He should be fine.
Matasa: Whew, that’s a relief I couldn’t handle being on a team with just Mr. Uchiha
Raikou: *Glares at him* Shut up.
-The Next Day-
Tsunade: Your all healed up, but you need lots of rest.
Gama: Laying around sure sounds good when you’re my personal doctor. *Grins*
Tsunade: Quite the lady’s man as always, Gama.
Gama: Hahaha. (Team 3 walks in)
Matasa: Yo Gama!
Gama: Yo! How’s everybody doing?
Matasa: Good, no major injuries, unlike yourself.
Gama: You wish you had battle scars like these.
Raikou: Hahaha.
Matagi: The Hokage has decided to send an all Jonin Team to retrieve Raito, it was a mistake sending you chunin.
Gama: Sorry sensei-
Matagi: But what’s done is done, and you guys are all ok. More importantly, in one week we will be going on a mission to Yugakure.
Gama: Great I’ll be all healed up by then.
Matagi: Sorry Gama, but you won’t be a part of this mission, you have something else to do.
Gama: Ohh, you mean “that”.
Matagi: For this mission Roshi will be taking Gama’s place.
Gama: Roshi, Eh?
Matagi: Roshi has mastered the taijutsu fighting style “Strong Fist” and can release six of the eight gates, he is a worthy replacement for Gama.
Tsunade: Alright visiting hours are over you guys gotta go, good luck with the mission.
Matasa: Thanks Tsunade-Hime.
-Scene Changes To The Akatsuki Base-
Taka: We have retrieved the host.
Kakuzu: Good.

Kakuzu Lives!? What is “That”, Gama and Matagi were speaking of!? Next Chapter: C2!
