The Pickup

Ichiku was waiting out near the front door of the Leaf Village. It's huge doors were always left open for anyone to come and go as they please. The many trees gave a lot of shade from the cruel sun's heat.
Ichi decided he'd wait there near some bushes and hide himself. A few people came by to gather some goods and leave the village. Nowhere in site was the mysterious person that he meet a few weeks ago.

"Where the hell is this guy? I'm not going to wait out here all day to find out that he'd not coming to get me."
Ichiku was getting a little impatient. He wanted to leave and leave now. He really did love his home but he wanted to leave. He wanted to see what it was like outside of the village doors. Only five mintues had passed and already Ichi was working up a sweat.

"Are you serious?" He said as he talked to himself quietly. "I've only been out here for five minutes and I'm sweating like a pig." Ichiku took a little bottle of water and drank some while he wiped of the sweat.

"I hope this guy gets here like right now or I'll have a hissy fit." Ichiku was starting to get agitated.

Renjiro was looking around the village for his nephew since he had missed a few classes and was acting rather stange. He arrived at teh main gate where teh guards were. He started chatting to teh men there and then noticed a shinobi in teh forest. "Byakugan!" he said while his eyes changed. he loook around and noticed it was his nephew "Hay nephew Get out here now" he said ina rather assertive vioce.

Ichi stood in the bushes but came out far enough to be seen.

"What? I can't get out of the village for a bit?"

"Come here" he said with a rather angry tone with his byakugan still activated. "Little nephew get here rigfht NOW!" he shouted.

Ichiku walked over to his Uncle before he had a stroke.

"Yes oh great one?"

"You have been acting strange of late WHY!" he guards were glaring at renjiro. He then looked at them and gave them the famous renjiro Shut up or kill put you in hospital look.

"Um...I'm not sure myself. I've just been trying to grow out of my old skin I guess."

Ichiku he was in trouble.

"Why is something wrong?"

"Just let me say this if you desert this village you will be killed with no remorse. Nephew or no Nephew"

raven was lookig down from a roof top watching Renjiro Hyuuga and his Nephew .raven did handsigns and made a clone while the real raven walked away as the clone had two kunis in his hand.the clone throw the kunis at the ground and just stood on the roof top.

he saw the kunais commin to at teh floor at 10 feet away from himself. he saw it saw going to miss him and his nephew he then said "What have you done!" saying that he span around and threw three shuriken and a kunai with an explosiuve tag on wire at the man

"I didn't do anything! I don't even know who that is!"

Ichiku was just as confused as his Unlce was. He knew for a fact that it wasn't Zack and that he'd never attack. At any rate, Ichi stood his distance near the big doors in case he needed to go get his father.

"Enough of this..."A voice echoed from nowhere.Hashi then in a flash appeared in the middle of Renjiro and Ichiku. "I read the note...you didn't say who it was and trust me your not getting out of here if its a missing nin.. you gotta tell me now who you were waiting for...actually tell yor uncle while i deal with this bastard" Hashi chuckled as he did a few handsigns and staffs appered.He launched tornadoes of wind at the mand and lightning storms over him. "Shit..Akatsuki..."He said as he yelled over all the noise. "Brother...take Ichiku away from here and warn the village elders, ANBU and Jounin we are being attacked"He yelled loud at his brother. "Graaaa....its happening...."He said as his chakra overflew him and he was growing a tail. "That damned Bijuu...."He grumbled. "Go Renjiro Hurry!" He yelled as his voice and body changed.

Ave apeared in a puff of wind and smoke next to Hashi "Just because I left the village doesnt mean I am not loyal to it" Ave smiled and looked at the Hokage. "Do you require any assistance?"

"....Well well...if it isn't Ave..."He said with a smirk. Actually..yes...hes the Akatsuki Leader i presume so scan the area for other Akatsuki Members.."He said in a hurry. "Go..this match is gonne get ugly.."He said as he prepered for the next move.

"Ill get reinforcments" before Ave ran in the direction of the village he said to Hashi "And by the way I am not a missing nin, I like to think of myself as a wandering nin I have doen nothing wrong. I simply just wnated to train on my own and see other places"

Ichiku was tring not to panik but fear griped his mind, body and soul.

"Uncle let's go! We need to move like now!" Ichi was near his uncle and began to pull on his arm to signal to get a move on. The day seemed to drip into darkness and the sun was no longer alive.

Renjiro formed 25 handsigns and trusted down both hands "Summoning jutsu - Battle toad!" with that a huge toad appeared through tehs moke with its huge sword and shield. Renjiro and Ichiku was on top of it. Renjiro grabbed Ichiku and lifted him underneath his left armpit and then jumped down to the toads nose so he could speak to him "Ok i have to go things here are going to get really ugly here so keep an eye out and be prepared for anything, we are dealing with Akatsuki here" the giant 10 ft toad said "Yes sir" in a very deep voice. Renjiro then jumped down at high speed with Ichiku still with him but as he landed on the floor he released a loud of chakra to soften his landing and stopping him from getting any injuries. Renjiro then headed for the Hyuuga household and placed Ichiku at the doorstep "Stay there and don't move unless you need to get out of the way of a fight" before he could answer he ran off in the direction of the Hokage office here all the ANBU and Jounins where as they just finished their exam checks. "Hi... guys.. and ... girls... trouble.. now.. follow... now to.. main... gates!" with that he ran back to the main gates hoping he wasn't too late to help Hashi with Akatsuki.

Ichiku was left at his door step. "But Uncle, what if someone comes here?!" It looked like it was too late. Renjiro was already too far away.

"Well I better be on my guard but I should stay quite as well." Ichiku went running to his room instead of staying in his father's office. There he kept a little collection of weapons under his bed.

"I was always saving this and I guess this is the time I'll need it." Ichiku pulled out a box with a bunch of ninja weaponry like smoke bombs, kunia, shurikin the works.

Renjiro arrived where hashi was before he had to leave but couldnt see hashi anywhere. "Hmm" he said to himself looking in a 50 meter radius of his current location with nobody in sight.
