Many months has gone by and we've managed to gain up to the sixth-tailed beast. Kisame had captured the fourth beast and had brought him to the extraction location. The fifth beast was captured by Maasaki himself.

I was quite surprised that he was able to do such a thing on his own. But then again, I did say he was strong. However, I didn't think he was strong enough to take down a beast on how own. That worries me a bit... he could be an even bigger threat than I anticipated.

The sixth beast was captured by Pein. I believe he used his Six Paths of Pain to retrieve him. From what he said, it wasn't a difficult fight to begin with. I thought that was a bit cocky of him to say, but he stronger than I am if you don't count my eyes. Well, I mean I don't think I even par with his strength... but that could be me being insecure with my own strength.

Right now we were waiting for Kakuzu and Hidan to return with the seventh beast. I was in my room with Maasaki. He was on his own bed, writing on a scroll. He's been writing on scrolls lately, but I never got a chance to see what he writes in them. He would take them with him and would return later on without the scroll he wrote on that day. I mean he could be writing information down and handing them to Madara! That would truly be a handful of trouble.

"Satoshi, Maasaki, it's time for the extraction." Pein said outside our door.

Maasaki and I stopped what we were doing and walked out of our room. Even though we were somewhat safe in the base, we still like to leave to a more secluded area to perform the mind link. We sat on the grassy ground as Pein prepared the mind link. Maasaki and I then closed our eyes as we reopened our eyes, everyone seemed to be in their place already.

Pein and I jumped into our positions as Maasaki and Madara watched from down below. They made sure there were no interruptions or allow any enemy to barge in during an extraction. That is they ever find out where we are or perhaps close by.

"Are you all ready?" Pein asked sternly.

We all nodded our heads in response.

"Alright, let's begin."

We all held the same hand sign signifying that the extraction has finally begun.

'This is going to take another three days to fully extract this beast... my muscles are going to be sore.. again.'

"Extraction complete." Pein said.

"Finally!" Hidan said as he stretched his arms. "These things are such a pain in the as-"

"Shut up..." Kakuzu said, interrupting his partner.

"Tsk, buzz kill." Hidan muttered.

"Just return back to the base and we can discuss more about the jinchuriki's." Pein said.

The two of them nodded their heads and cut off the call.

"Satoshi, do you think you can try to capture the eight-tailed beast?" Pein asked.

"Isn't the junchuriki of the eight-tailed beast live in the Cloud village?" I asked.

"Your point?"

"Despite me having my kekkeigenkai, it would be bad if I try to go up against him. Not to mention his brother is the Raikage. It would probably lower my chakra down immensely." I explained.

"You still have your eyes-"

"My eyes need chakra to be activated and to sustain it. Which means if I lose my chakra, not only am I doomed to fight them off, but I lose all chance of escape." I said.

"I see... I'll have to find another solution to gaining the eight-tailed beast." he said to himself.

Even though I was telling the truth, I was hoping that he wouldn't send me. I didn't want to capture the damn thing.

"Everyone, dismiss." Pein said.

Everyone began to take their leave, but Maasaki stood in his place waiting for me. I yawned and sleepily walked to the base with Maasaki by my side.

"You alright bud?" Maasaki asked.

"If had to continue the same position for three days straight without any sleep, you'd be like this as well." I said a bit sleepy. "You're lucky enough to just stand there and watch. You even get to move around.."

"Well, you go and get some rest. I don't think we're going to get a mission any time soon." he said.

"Alright." I said with a yawn as I waved him off.

I made my way over to my room ready for a good night's rest.

I followed Satoshi back to our room. He had gotten himself ready for bed and wasted no time to finally get the rest he deserved. Before I went to my own bed, I watched Satoshi's sleeping form. His chest slowly rising and falling. He was laying on his stomach with his face facing me. His left arm supporting face while the other arm was under his pillow. He looked fairly peaceful yet it was a bit furrowed. I scowled at the sight of him.

Everything about him made me angry. I scoffed at him and went back to my writing. These scrolls that I write are very personal. I keep them well hidden within the forest around our hideout. They contained the life I have lived in this organization and how things were going. By writing my everyday life, it helped ease my mind. You would write down your life too if you lived in a cave with a bunch of strangers who could care less about you and you the same for them.

I grabbed my ink brush and dipped it in my black ink that sat on my bed side. I took a deep breath in and began to write:

So far we have finished gathering all seven jinchuriki's. Obito and I's plan is going smoothly. But I'm a bit skeptical about Obito despite us being partners for so long. I know how his mind is set and he'll probably kill me off and steal Satoshi's eyes for himself.. or he could be trying to allow me to use Satoshi's eyes to get rid of the hindrances.

But the joke is on him, I will be the one who will make that move first. With Satoshi's eyes, I will kill off Obito and resurrect Madara himself when the time comes. Maybe then I will finally be praised by Madara himself as the two of use trap everyone in an almighty Tsukuyomi.

Everyone will be happy and then... there will be no more war! Ha-ha! Just watch, everyone will thank us for this. They'll regret for never seeing what we planned to do! They'll be kissing the ground Madara and I walk on... begging us for their forgiveness. Heh, yeah... that's going to be the life! Now all we need is the eight and nine-tailed beast. I believe that getting those two will be a hassle.

I need to come up with a plan to retrieve them somehow. Tsk, we would have gotten them easily if Satoshi would actually go out and get them.. insolent boy! I know he doesn't want to get the eight-tailed beast, seeing that he made a poor excuse to get out of it.

I also know that he wouldn't get the nine-tails either. He's still loyal to the Leaf. That is something we are going to have to deal with. However, he will be dealt with soon.. HAHAHA! Looks like he was right about him not surviving!

He was nothing but a nuisance! A walking travesty he is! I can't wait to get rid of him! I'm just waiting for the order... heh heh.. the clock is ticking, Satoshi. What will you do now?

Ito Masaaki

I looked at my note and smiled evilly. I placed my brush on my bedside and sat there quietly waiting for the ink to dry a little bit more. I looked up to see Satoshi still sleeping, but this time I ignored his presence. I had already lashed out my anger on him in this scroll. There was no need to go overboard with my hatred. I decided that I should distract myself by looking around the plain room. There wasn't much to look at but it was the only thing to do here for me.

"" Zetsu said popping out of the ground.

"What is it." I said sternly.

"It's about Hidan and Kakuzu." he said.

"What about them?" I asked with a slight glare.

"Well..." he began. ""

"Tsk, not a surprise.." I scoffed. "How were they killed?"

"By the Leaf shinobi's." he answered.

'Those damn Leaf shinobi's! They're becoming a huge problem! Once I take Satoshi out, I'll make sure to pay them a visit before going to Obito.. heh heh.'

"Have you told ?" I asked.

"I was just on my way to see him."

"Very well, dismissed."

Zetsu began to disappear back into the floor as I rolled up my scroll. A devilish smile appeared on my face as I stood up on my feet.

'Things are about to get interesting...'
