Riku looks over at Magix. "I don't think clones will work. We'll have to go in ourselves sooner or later. Let's get moving. We'll go slow untill the clones are taken out." He says as he starts to walk forward again.

Magix looks at Riku. "The clones are there to hold a water prision. We don't need to go slow in fact we need to make the next strike fast but not stupid either. For us to charge in would be a stupid way, but if we attack from the shadows that will cause panic and distraction so the clones can water prision. Once they catch we eliminate the others around and prepare for our final strike. Sound like a plan?" Magix waits for Rikus response.

"I really don't think you clones will be able to do a Suirou no Jutsu (water prison) on him. I don't know exactly who he is, but I know he's strong. We cannot underestimate him in any way." Riku says in a very serious tone.

Iyami sighed as she waited for them to decide on a plan. She wasn't sure which plan would work better. She then decided that either way she was eventually going to have to fight so she chose a body to use as a puppet. She choose one and then connected her chakra strings to it. She then made it stand up. "Why don't we go with Riku's plan of going slowly?" She said walking back over with the puppet.

Riku looked over at Iyami and almost smiled. He was glad SOMEONE agreed with his plan. Just as he looked at her, a bird with a message tied to its leg, landed on Riku's shoulder. Riku held out his hand to let the bird onto his finger. He pulled off the message and released the bird to fly away. Riku looked at the rolled up message. "It's from the Kurokage." He said to the team. He slowly unrolled the note and read it. After a few seconds, he rolled back up the note and burned it. "Well, it seems that the Akatsuki may be waiting for us in the Mist Village." He said calmly to the team....

Zenaku looks down slowly, a tear seems to roll down his face and fall but he looks up and his face is dry. Taking his time he makes a map in the dirt and puts his chakra, which he drops on the map. Names appeared by the rocks and they moved along the map. He sits slowly observing the rocks movements. He especially seemed to take interest in 6 of the rocks which were all still next to eachother.

He didn't mind following Rikus plan after all Riku's the leader for now but he wished they would move faster. If he we're on a mission like this alone he would've did things his way. He thinks to himself Such is the essence of teamwork I suppose. "Fine we'll go slow but I'm not letting my clones just be destroyed. I'm gonna blow em up and take some of those bastards with em. Your plan so let me know when and where to blow em up." Magix waits for Riku to tell him. "The Akatsuki. Sounds fun."

Zenaku silently watches the rocks. He sees 2 more rocks slowly move towards the 6 rocks. "What the............Riku! Their's two unidentifiable akatsuki!" Also to his surprise hundreds of rocks started to move out of a small doorway. "Shit!" Zenaku bangs his hands in the dirt. "They have a chakra barrier!"

"What?! Are you saying there's 8 members of the Akatsuki? Damn at the top of my game I could take one on my own, possibly two depending on who and the area. I'm sure Riku could do the same. I'm not sure about the rest of you." Magix activates byakugan and stands there. "They have so much chakra and its so strong I can sense it from here.. What do we do Riku? Retreat and try to get back alive or attack and risk all our lives and take a high chance at least half of us will die? Huh, where'd Zabuza go?"

Riku stares down at the rocks. "I''m gonna have to face my father." He says after a while.

Iyami looked over at Riku, confusion written across her face. "Wait, who is your father?" She asked Riku.

Riku looked up at her. "You can't tell from my Rinnegan?" He asks her curiously

Iyami thought about this and then it hit her. Duh! He was the son of Pein, the leader of the Akatsuki. “Sorry, it didn’t dawn on me.” She said and then added, “So what’s our plan of action?”

"Well, my father's going to complicate things. So I don't have a clue at the moment"

"There is no shame in a tactical retreat. The fact that they know of us complicates things however. If we can see them, then be sure as hell they can see us. Our best chance is to send for help. 2-3 of us run interference as the others escape for help. We just need to hold em off long enough for backup to get here. The only other option would be for all to fight and most of us could die. I'll stay behind to fight, I live for this shit." Magix smiles demonicly, cracks his neck, and takes out his sword.

Shadow grunted in pain as his former teacher's boot met his stomach, not really a good way to block a boot. He then smiled and did a flurry of attacks, his former master blocked them but was to slow to block the oncoming tide of water that Shadow had sent to disorient him. Shadow smiled and hiehgtened his attacks, he used moves of his own design, they were quick, powerful, and all were deadly. His former teacher wasn't able to block or dodge all of them, Shadow's last attack was a feignt and he ended up kicking the old man's chin. Shadow's former master was sent a good 30 feet away. "Your weak old man, I have grown stronger following my new master, he knows how...cold I was and still am." Shadow says sending his shadows out to take a hold on his former teacher.

"I still know you, you cannot live with that evil in your heart, my teachings won't allow it, and neither will your soul."

"Bah just die old man." Shadow says as he charges his former master, the man tries to jumpe away but is held by invisible hands, he sees their shadows connected and only grins. "You'll die too boy."

"No." Was all Shadow said as he releases his hold and lops the man's head off simultaneously. "Poor miserable old man." Shadow says and heads back towards the others, he materializes next to Riku. "What is teh situation, why hasn't the target been extracted...or exterminated." He states looking at the group. (This is why kids shouldn't be given missions like this, they're too slow in dealing with the task.)
OOC: Obviously he hasn't heard the Akastuke are here.

Riku looks over at Shadow. "It's not that simple." He says as he begins to walk towards the village. He wanted to get their quickly now. He knew the Akatsuki would be on them any minute now. He wanted to get to the village and deal with them as soon as possible.

With anticipation and slight worry in his voice Zenaku wanted to test something and asks Riku,

"Use your Rinnegan on my special rocks.......see if you can control this one *Zenaku points to the one furthest to the left slightly away from the group* if i'm right you should be connected to his chakra, and even better see and hear what they see and hear. I wouldn't normally suggest a less hand's on approach but, I will admit to being worried about all 8 of them taking the demon from within me."

"Then explain, I have been...dealing with something that needed to be dealt with. I need to know the full story." The Assassin says looking down at Riku, he hated having to speak really, especially to this many people, they seem so hesitant about everything, it amde him itchy just sitting still and not somewhere where he could rip out the throat of his target.

"Well Shadow, it appears the Akatsuki and my father are somewhere in the Mist Village, waiting for us." Riku looks at the rest of his team. "I might have to split off from you later to fight my father. Alone."
