Land of Fire

Reiko

Reiko was roaming the Land of Fire with her usual unamused expression. She had recently killed a few assassins that were sent from Takigakure and wasn't pleased with how things were now. She heard some people say that the old Akatsuki are coming back which for her would be a big pain in the ass, as if she would sit back and let the Akatsuki take away her best friend and source of her power.

Tsukimaru

Tsukimaru had a meeting with two of the other Akatsuki members, Daiki and Ichinan. "Remember your assignment you two. You have to missions, one is to find powerful rogue ninja to join our cause and the other is of course, to find and capture the Jinchuriki. Four have been identified: Sandra Nara and Akito of Konoha, Tsume Higashi of Iwa and Reiko who was part of Taki but she fled so finding her will likely be the most difficult. Now that you know your assignments, I will leave you to them."

Ichinan Udewa

Ichinan sighed. Daiki was always leaving her behind. It was starting to get old. "Geez, this is getting aggravating," she muttered. Note to self: Blow up Daiki's ass later when I don't need him.

Making a clay bird, Ichinan flies up up and away, heading for Konoha. It would make sense to go after the Nara girl first. After all, the Nara clan was full of slackers, this girl surely isn't different. Why seal away a powerful beast inside someone like her? It was beyond her.

Sandra Nara

Ah, lazing the day away is the perfect pastime for me, Sandra thought to herself while laying on a rooftop. No one can disturb her now. Or at least without bugging her, which wouldn't be a good idea. If someone was to annoy her, she'll make them jump off this roof and go splat!
