Desperate times | | Akatsuki

You left me alone.[51]

|The next day|

I had my weapons secured to my body, breathing deeply as my Black vest top and tight black trousers stuck to my body. Bits of my near shoulder length hair caressed my cheek despite having thrown it into a low pony tail. I adjusted my fingerless gloves before making sure my silenced ACR along with my throwing knives. Even my brass knuckles were in place under my gloves. I had my intercom attached to my ear, Itachi and Kisami were close behind me as we kept hidden behind the complex.

"They had to have seen us coming." Armored men stood on guard around the building. "You think the serum Kakazu and Sasori made wore off." Kisame uttered in reference to Karin. We had been let the girl go months ago and put a tracker device on her as we expected she ended up getting picked up by Orochimaru but we didnt expect Karin to regain her memories so quickly. "Must be her blood. Uzumakis do tend to heal quickly." Itachi commented. Sasukes team was on the west side of the complex. Sasoris team which was compromised of Deidara and Tobi were in the trees backing up up from afar. Kakazu was at the rendevous point with Pein just in case anyone got hurt. The sand had lended us Gaaras aid whom was our eyes and ears and gave us coordinates through the intercom.

I silently flung two knives into the neck of two patrolling men. The entire complex was surrounded by woodland which would make it easier to get away. Itachi checked the next corner, shooting his silenced dual wield pistol into the neck of two more men. I heard a loud explosion from the west side courtesy of deidaras bombs. It signaled for Sasukes squad to start their assault and alot of the armored men left their stations to assist tbe main defence.

I smirked ushering them to the side doorway of a darkened section as Konan gave us directions. Soon as we walk through the door, My reflexes make me tilt my head, narrowly avoiding a bullet. Kisame swiftly shoots forward, grabbing the man in a head lock. I snatch the males gun and toss it away as Kisame snaps the mans neck. "Watch yourself kid." Kisame sends me a toothy grin, taking off in a specific direction. Itachi searched the male, stealing a keycard that resided in his front pocket. "What is that?" I mumble.
"Its a key that gives you access to the control center. One of you has to go to the center and unlock the levels for the other that heads for Orochimaru." Gaara asseses causing me and Itachi to glance at eachother momentarily. "There is a high chance that Kabuto or the remaining members of the sound 4 are guarding the center." Konan adds.

I go rigid at that mention of the silver haired male. "Im going for the center." I make a move to split but tense at Itachis firm grip. "We dont have time for this Uchiha."

"The last time you ran off, you compromised the mission and ended up stranded in the mountains for nearly a week."

I scowl at his point, glancing away as time was of the essence. "Promise me. Promise me you wont do anything. Reckless." my brows widen at his stern expression before nodding. I take off but pause in my steps. "Itachi!" He stops and turns his head in question. "Kick his ass for me."

The raven haired male male smirks knowing that was her way of telling him to be careful.

I unlock the door to the control room and aim my gun on alert.

Scanning the room for any enemies, i find none and immediately rush forward toward the security cameras. Itachi had tooken out six people and was waiting by the electronic door. I glance down and press the button for the door. After a few minutes of Itachi taking out men left and right whilst i opened doors for him; i take notice of how Itachi seemed to be slowing. I hesitate opening the last door which would lead to Orochimaru whom was cooped up on the highest floor. "Itachi,...you alright?" I could hear his heavy breathing through the intercom.

"Is that worry, i hear Yakuza-san?"

I click my tongue and roll my eyes."as if, just dont get yourself killed idiot."
