[Scene opens on the interior of the Akatsuki base. Hidan is lying in bed, covered in red spots and scratching furiously. Deidara enters the room, snickering.]
Deidara: "Looks like you're not so immortal after all, Hidan."
Hidan: *glaring at Deidara* "Shut up, Deidara."
[He breaks out into a coughing fit, which causes him to wince in pain.[
Deidara: "You know, I always thought your skin was tough enough to withstand anything. But it looks like even a little virus can take you down."
Hidan: *still coughing* "I said shut up, Deidara!"
[Deidara continues to chuckle as he exits the room. Hidan leans back against his pillow, feeling frustrated and embarrassed.]
[Cut to a montage of the other members of the Akatsuki falling ill. We see them coughing and scratching, confined to their rooms as the virus takes hold.]
[Back in Hidan's room, he is now feeling a bit better, but Deidara has come down with the virus.]
Hidan: *smiling mischievously* "Looks like you're not so tough after all, Deidara."
Deidara: *scratching furiously* "Shut up, Hidan. This is terrible."
Hidan: "Ha! You were laughing at me just a few days ago."
Deidara: "I know, I know. Karma's a bitch, I guess."
[They both chuckle before breaking out into coughing fits.]
[Cut to a scene of the whole Akatsuki base in disarray. Everyone is coughing and scratching, and the atmosphere is tense and uncomfortable.]
Pain: *entering the room, looking visibly ill* "We need to get this virus under control. We can't afford to be weakened like this."
Hidan: "Relax, Pain. It's just chickenpox. We'll all recover eventually."
Pain: "I know that. But we need to be cautious. We can't let this virus spread any further."
[They all nod in agreement, but their expressions betray their exhaustion and discomfort.]
[Cut to a scene of the Akatsuki members gathered in the bathroom, all looking miserable and scratching at their red spots. Hidan is sitting in the oatmeal bath, looking relieved to finally have some relief from the itching.]
Hidan: "Oh man, this feels amazing. Why didn't we think of this sooner?"
Deidara: *grimacing* "Because we're not used to being sick. We're ninjas, remember?"
Hidan: "Pfft. Even ninjas need to take care of themselves sometimes. And this oatmeal bath is just what the doctor ordered."
[Konan, who is also in the bath, nods in agreement.]
Konan: "It's definitely helping with the itching."
Pain: "We should have done this sooner. It might have prevented the virus from spreading so much."
Sasori: *entering the bathroom* "I don't think the oatmeal bath would have done much for me."
Itachi: *also entering the bathroom* "Yes, Sasori and I are immune to the virus. But I do have some home remedies that my mother used to use."
Hidan: "Like what?"
Itachi: "Well, she used to make a tea out of chamomile and honey, which helped with the itching and sore throat. And she also had a salve made from calendula flowers that was good for the skin."
Deidara: *sarcastically* "Oh great, now we're taking medical advice from Itachi's mom."
Itachi: *ignoring Deidara's comment* "And she also used to make a soup with ginger and garlic, which was good for boosting the immune system."
