Sasori jumped down from the cliff and landed gracefully on the water before the boulder hiding the Akatsuki base; He had just gotten back from a simple solo mission near the Hidden Sand. He walked closer and formed the seal necessary to make the boulder slide away before walking in, letting the huge rock slide shut behind him.

A holographic projection of Pein had appeared on one of the rocks. It looked over the cave with his Rinnengan eyes until they locked on Sasori.

Sasori - said the figure - Your partner Deidara has left to capture the Jinchuuriki. You will go and assist him

Sasori took a few steps before actually noticing the projection of Pein.

Is that so... In Suna, right? he asked. Though he already knew which Jinchuuriki his partner was assigned he wanted to be sure.

You know the answer, Sasori - said Pein, without any emotion in his voice - Any problems?

Sasori nodded -No

He turned around and headed back to the rock, quickly opening it before continuing out.

Watch out for Konoha shimobi - said Pein as his hologram faded

Sasori gave no sign as of whether he had heard Pein or not, just walked across the river as the rock once again blocked the entrance.

Better get to Suna quick; knowing Deidara right he has already began attacking

Once on top of the cliff again Sasori let a scroll fall from his sleve and into his hand. He summoned Hiruko and got inside the puppet before heading for Suna.

Watching from the unseen shadows, Ryuke took the news and prepared to leaves

So they are going to claim the sand kage....

With that he was off

cool and pein is my partner awsome
