Sealed Destiny.
Name: Hidan
Occupation: S-Rank Shinobi (Presumed / Not Verified)
Status: Sealed / KIA (Presumed / Not Verified)
An experienced fighter with an unidentified actual age, presumed to have an immortal physical body, making verifying any information about his origins drastically harder. Wields a scythe and wears a black coat ordained with red clouds. Confirmed to be a member of the 'Akatsuki' mercenary organization.
Evaluation: Could very easily be regarded as an undying close combat specialist with infinite stamina and extreme durability. An individual with low intelligence that doesn't plan his actions, easy to take advantage of. A group of experienced jonin could easily keep him busy for hours before retreating if they know about his abilities beforehand and keep their distance from his effective range.
--------------------------------
Name: Kakuzu
Occupation: S-Rank Shinobi
Status: KIA
An experienced shinobi that has been alive since the time of the first Hokage when he first became renown, following a failed assassination on Hashirama Senju. Using a forbidden technique he gained a limited type of immortality. A very experienced shinobi that will do anything for the right amount of money. Wears a black coat ordained with red clouds. Confirmed to be a member of the 'Akatsuki' mercenary organization.
Evaluation: A powerful shinobi with limited weaknesses. Doesn't pick battles that he cannot win and will retreat if necessary to preserve his life. Amounts of chakra easily surpass normal Kage-level combatants. Smart, durable, strong, fast, excelling in both taijutsu and ninjutsu paint Kakuzu as an almost unsurmountable shinobi. The best course of action is to surround and outnumber him with sheer numbers or overpower him, taking him by surprise before he can retreat.

'Another one bites, and another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust.' – Kei was singing in his head as he looked at the updated report regarding his upcoming experiment and the now-deceased ex-partner.
'Kakuzu was such a waste though, the guy was the perfect tool, maybe just a little too costly… though considering how many times I hired Akatsuki over the years… oh well.'
Dark flames consumed the papers in his hand as he studied them.
'Quite below the level of Amaterasu but quite more ferocious and hotter than the normal flames.'
Looking down at the dirt in front of him Kei's leg expanded slightly and immediately contracted, compressing and directing the greatly pressurized air to be exerted from the sole of his foot…
*BOOM*
Dirt and stone were thrown violently as the area in front of Kei were unearthed. Among the rubble, Kei's Sharingan easily captured different body parts flying through the air, and countless dark gold chains flew from the ground, capturing each as they brought them to the side one by one… only for them to stop halfway.
Kei looked at the pieces of body retrieved, noticing the decaying flesh and visible bone in some of the parts. Leaning down Kei extended his hands as he got ready to grab the head, prepared to open it up only for it to be reduced to ash as soon as he picked it up.
"Easy comes, easy goes… Guess your so-called 'god' didn't want to waste his power on someone whose fate you could say was… sealed. So much for an all-powerful 'god'." – Kei said as he was careful to sweep his surroundings.
'No reaction from the body or the surrounding. Either This 'Jashin' can't hear me or doesn't care.' – Kei thought as he looked at the decomposed body once more.
'Such a waste. I could have used him as an eternal dummy. I was really looking forward to testing the dark chakra on him… hmm…. Just in case.'
Kei raised his hand as he pointed his palm in the direction of the body and channeled dark chakra through his body.
'Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu'
Dark chakra surged with ferocity as Kei felt it rush to be released, already determining that he had overcharged the technique way past its limits, the dark chakra coursing to the technique. Different from Shinno, Kei put the amount of chakra equivalent to a tailed beast bomb into the technique that was meant to take care of one body.
With a flesh, Kei felt his body turn to ash, cells disappearing from his senses as he only saw white before even that was taken from him.
---------------------------------
(3rd Person POV, Konoha – Hokage Office)
The Hokage was taking a nap on his surprisingly empty desk… until his eyes suddenly opened.
Raising his head different thoughts passed through the Hokage's mind.
'Controlling another body directly takes quite the effort at this distance, not to mention controlling the dark chakra as well. Even with the chakra receivers, it's still a challenge... though in hindsight I don't get to dismantle myself permanently so that is nice. Kushina will have to wait for a new body though.' – Kei thought as a knock could be heard on the door with hurried footsteps behind.
"Jiraya-sama, I already told you the Hokage is unavailable at this moment, please wait downstairs or come back tomorrow for your appointment." – A secretary, most likely, was desperately trying to stop Jiraya from entering.
The door was opened a second after he knocked by Jiraya himself as he welcomed himself inside. As he took two steps inside, clearing the doorframe, five swords descended on him from five different directions.
Dodging promptly, Jiraya got out of the predicament with a single scratch in his arm to show for it.
Kei raised his hand as the Anbu stopped their swords next to Jiraya, stopping their attack but prompting to restrain his movements.
"Quite a greeting Hokage-sama." – Jiraya greeted with a smirk on his face.
"Sufficient for a useless shinobi of Konoha. Our meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, meaning you need something urgently or you wouldn't be this stupid... unless I am overestimating your intelligence. Take this." –The Hokage responded as he played with a pencil in his desk while reaching into his vest and throwing a small bag to the Sannin.
Catching the bag and opening it, the Sannin saw multiple herbs inside, realization dawning upon him as he looked at the scratch on his arm.
"Poison…"
A sigh escaped Jiraya as he rubbed his eyes tiredly.
"So what do you want?" – Kei asked as he threw a glance at the Sannin.
"It is possible Naruto is coming into Akatsuki's crosshairs once again. This time they will quite surely send that Red Demon, possibly with two other S-Rank Shinobi. If they come to Konoha… the damage would be severe to the village even if it only lasts 5 minutes."
"And you are suggesting what exactly?"
"Lure them somewhere out of the village and straight into an ambush." – Jiraya said determinedly as Kei looked at him and sighed.
"Well, it's not a bad plan but for how long are you planning to stay on the defensive?"
"What do you mean?"
"The meeting tomorrow was meant to pass on you some information to verify… regarding Akatsuki."
That certainly got Jiraya's attention.
------------------------------
(20 min later)
Jiraya left the Hokage's office, prompting the Anbu to retreat as only one remained, his pupilless eyes scanning around as he finally made sure it was clear.
A chuckle came from behind him as he turned around and looked at the Hokage.
"Even the head of the Hyuga clan can't say with certainty that he can come to a draw with the Toad Sannin… but you Neji… you have effectively killed him, sealed his destiny if you will, hahaha." – Kei laughed as he looked at the stunned Neji, still unable to come to terms with how easy it was to end the life of one of the most powerful individuals he had met.
