Kadaj sat in a tree he'd taken a break from Akatsuki for a while. He'd already did more than enough for Deidara. Catching Nibi and retrieving Zeo without him asking. Finally he'd managed to get onto Deidara's good side.

He layed back and sighed. "Finally." He closes his eyes but opens them once he hears someone coming. What now?

Luko walked through the rogue forest. His senses alert for anything out of the ordinary. He soon stopped when he heard something move. Someone's here.

Kadaj grins. He knows I'm here. From his apperance he must be Luko of the rogue Clan. Hump.

Luko looks up. "I know you're there. Come out."

Kadaj stands up. "Alright." He jumps out of the tree. "Don't get all tense ebacuse I don't wanna fight you. Not yet atleast."

Luko looks at Kadaj. "You're an Akatsuki aren't you. Are you here for Mikey?"

"Yes. As for the girl I'm not here for her. Yet."

Artix sat in a tree watching them. It looked as if the tensions between the two groups were bad. He knew the akutski probably hated him....and he wasnt sure about the rouges.

"If you touch Mikey I'll kill you. Unless she agrees to come along."

Kadaj smiles. "I'll be looking forward to fighting you then." he looks up. "What so great about taking care of her anyway. Let me take her and you'll never have to worry about dealing with that little brat again."

Artix leans forward to listen more because Kadaj got quieter. He leans to far and falls out of the tree.

Luko looks at Artix. "What are you doing here?"

Kadaj sighes. "Where the hell did he come from?"

Artix sits up. "Thats my reason, not yours to know."

Luko looks at him. "If you're in the Rogue Forest and you're only a ninja. Then it's my business because I'm a Rogue of the Rogue Clan."

Kadaj frowns at Artix. "This is rediculous." He walks towards Artix.

Artix walks towards Kadaj. "So what if it is?"

Luko grabs Kadaj's arm. "Don't touch him."

Artix motions Luko to let go. "No. I wanna see if he's as good as his once great title of Magumakage."

Kadaj looks at Luko. "For a rogue you sure are attached to village ninja." He pushes him away and looks at Artix. "You're getting on my nerves."

Artix sighs. "Oh well..." He sits down. "So why exactly to you try to kidnap kids? If you beat me, youve got a much more powerful water element."

Luko looks at the two of them. Then to Kadaj. "I'm no more attached to them than you are." He takes a step back. "Don't fight him if you know it's impossible to beat him. I know you've just obtained the rank of Kage."

I know it isnt impossible to beat him. Its possible to beat anyone. Even a one year old has a chance of beating a kage. I would like to fight the entire akutski, but then my chances of winning are slim to none. You know Kadaj, your best friend was the leader of the akutski when it first started.

Kadaj lshakes his head. " I know, but our new leader Deidara's requests are not questioned nor challenged. That would be a mistake."

"To fight them all? I bet you i can. All id need is Roxl's help, and you guys have a very low chance of winning. The problem is that im not sure where Roxl even went.
