Sakon was intrested in conversation, but Ukon had awoken on his back and was already angry.
"We're still here!? Get the last entry and get moving!"
Ukon wnet back to sleep, Sakon didn't want him to awake again and yell at him.
"We better find one more before he wakes up again, I'll wait here. Go back into Konoha and get one more. I can't go in for obvious reasons."

Sirius says, "Naruto would be a bad idea to bring. We want to kee him as far away from Akatsuki as we can. Anyone seen Neji lately?"

Meanwhile back in the deepest part of the Land of Fire, the Arena of Champions stood there. A relic that dated back to the first Shinobi wars to honor the first Kages. Inside was the hall of fame, showing a statue of every champion of the Arena, the first Kages repectfully have statues for their deeds in the middle of the chamber. Afer that lied two entrances, one for the public and another for the comabnants. Deep in the combanat chambers, stood a short man with sun glasses and grey hair speaking to a tall man covered in a rock armor, Koudo from the Stone Village. With them was the famous thief Touzoku, a well known assasin from the Hidden Shadow Village. The short man spoke first out of the three.
"The pieces are set and the time draws near, Zetsu-sama will be most pleased with our work."
The giant man seemingly made of rock spoke next.
"Good, I can't wait to crush someone. This tournament will be my passage to even more fame."
"Your ego gets too inflated Koudo, being a crowd favorite doesn't help you win."
"The moral boost gives me a blood rush, I like it."
The small man hushed them both and spoke again.
"Just remeber that this won't be an ordinary tournament, Manriki Kin will be present at the arena in the honors seat. The crows will go insane if he even rises from his seat. Try to impress him, but don't over do it."

Neji looked at the group from where he hid and said to Naruto "go back to Konoha. i don't think you'll wanna come."{ he then emerged from his hiding spot and said "yah, i'm right here. what am i needed for?" Kikyo looked at Neji and said "we need another shinobi to help us infiltrate the Akatsuki. you wanna help? Sirius needs a partner." Rin just smiled and sat down in the grass, watching it grow!

 "Huh?" Naruto looks at the area and the people Neji was talking to. "It's the two other people we went with 3 years ago!! Kikyo and that other guy... hm.. maybe I should just stay hidden but follow them anyways."

the veins around Neji's eyes bulged and he said "go back to Konoha, Naruto. this isn't a mission for you!" he was speaking coolly, but had hostility in his voice

"Actaully he can come if he wants, he just can't win the tournament. If he does win, the Akatsuki will capture him and we would need another to be his partner. I think it would be best for him to come anyway, the Akatsuki maybe using the tournement as a distraction."
Sakon also wanted to tell them the crowds of the arena loved outlaws or any kind of evil, Orochimaru himself once entered the tournement and he was very popular. Having the Kyuubi in the tournement would no doubt raise many tournement viewers from their seats. Keeping that in mind, Sakon had to think who could possibly take up that position as the last member.
"This will be a tough one, wit so many of us, we might end up facing each other."

"then we'll decide on winners while we travel" Kikyo said "and the groups fighting against one another will need to make it as convincing as possible. Naruto! come on over here" she was looking at where Naruto was hidden

The short man went over the roster for the tournement, it seemed there were some uncounted spots in the roster.
"Sakon sai he would provide more combatants for the arena. Koudo!"
Koudo emerged from his chambers, still fully covered in his Earth made armor.
"Yeah Kane-same?"
The small man was revealed as Kane, a country wide crime synicate leader. He had been running the arena since his brother Gato died in the Land of Water. He was almost identical to Gato, though he was oldder and slightly taller.
"Go to Konoha and get Sakon, I'm not waiting for him to get here. Be carful, I don't want any of them unable to fight."
Koudo said nothing and continued to the Hall of Fame and then into the exit hall of the arena. As soon as he left the flooring of the arena, his body sunk into the dirt ground below him and a noticeable bump in the ground could be seen mving south to the Village of Leaf.

The moving hill came crashing through the forest, knocking trees down and creating havok along its path. Koudo could sense his targets uphead, his speed was unimaginable for someone who had to dig through the ground to travel. He was almost to his destination, the village Konoha in sight. The targets were already outside and ready to go it seemes, maybe Koudo wasn't required to come.

Kikyo saw a bump in the ground and threw a few senbon at it. "someone's coming!" she said as she got ready for a fight Rin stood up, now alert, and grabbed some of her black senbon

Koudo stopped as he felt the minor vibrations hit his formation above the earth. Seeing that he was immediantly regonized as an enemy, he would have to retaliate against them. Koudo rose from the ground, the senbon stuck in his stone armor on his helmet.
"Do all Konoha Shinobi greet others with weapons to the head? I guess I'll show you how I greet rude people."
Koudo held out his right hand before Kikyo and Rin, something forming in his palm. Before he could finish, Sakon stepped in.
"Wait Koudo, they just misunderstood your arrival!"
Koudo considered Sakon worthy enough to be listened to, Koudo only listened to those that had proven themselves in his views. It was hard to get Koudo's respect, but once recieved it was almost ever lasting.
"Fine Sakon, but you should have really warned me earlier these two were so...Jumpy."
Koudo closed his hand, whatever was forming there would have stopped and and crumbled back to dirt. Koudo stepped forward and inspected the group.
"Lets see...Not bad I suppose, I expected the Sound Five, not just you and your leader."

"hey we are the temporary Sound/Konoha 7" Rin said, an idiotic smile on her face. Kikyo just sighed and said "we aren't jumpy, we are just being cautious. last time i trusted someone i didn't know, i got stuck with the Curse seal of Earth"

"Of Earth you say? Let me see it."
Koudo stepped forward, the ground below him cracked under his weight with each step. He stoped infro of Kikyo, his hand reached out for her.
"He put it on your neck right?"
