The two were not only strange looking, but were also vastly more powerful than the average shinobi with an odd mix of techniques she had never seen and powers she did not know existed.
One of them was a tan skinned man with a bandana like Hitea-ate; it had a waterfall symbol with a slash mark through it showing he was a missing ninja from Takigakure (Village Hidden in the Water Falls). His irises were a greenish color and pupil less while the rest of the eyes were red. He wore a black mask leaving everything covered except his cheeks and eyes visible. The thing that got to her however were the four masks the man had on his back, if that was not odd enough then the fact that those masks could detach themselves and fight independently certainly was. Not only that but it appeared that each mask was linked to a specific element and the man would often combine two elements into a collaboration jutsu of some kind, making the fight not only six on one but also twelve times harder.
The other person she was faced with was even weirder, despite being the more normal looking of the two. He had slicked back white hair with purple eyes, while he held a three bladed scythe in one of his hands. Despite this seemingly normal look, she had found out the man was anything but. When she had first attacked him he had been severely injured, with Yugito managing to puncture one of his lungs with her Signature Kaizuki assassination attack. Despite that injury nothing had happened except for him to start cursing her out about how he was going to sacrifice her to Jashin, apparently he had gained some form of immortality by becoming a zealot for a religion known as Jashinism. While Yugito had not quite believed what he had said, his religion was later proven to be much more then she had first thought. After making some kind of weird occult symbol on the ground, the man had proceeded to ingest her blood which he had gotten with a lucky hit. As soon as he did the man's entire appearance had changed, his skin turned black with a white exoskeleton over it. He had then used the scythe he had been carrying to impale himself through the leg, and somehow much to the blond woman's shock that same injury appeared on her own leg. It wasn't hard for her to figure out that anyone who's blood eat ingested became injured when he injured himself, so long as he was in the middle of that symbol. Knowing this Yugito had used Nibi's chakra to and blasted the man out of the symbol, before ruining it and running.
It was then she had headed into a village she recognized from the few times she had been there, and then headed straight for the sewers. Just a little bit further… she thought as she ran into an open room. Just as Yugito reached her destination instincts kicked in, causing her to duck just as a large scythe passed through where she had been standing. Spinning around she looked over to see the two that had been chasing her walking in, the scythe being yanked back into the white haired man's hands.
"That was pretty good of you to dodge Neko-chan," he said with a grin, "though I am the slowest member of Akatsuki."
"Careful Hidan," said the one with the mask in a gravelly voice, "she might kill you, if you're not careful."
Hidan merely smirked, "pft you know that's not possible, if she could kill me I'd let her."
Yugito took several deep breaths as she slowed her heart rate, "I'm going to make you regret underestimating me." she reached into her pouch and pulled out on of her kunai which had a explosive note attached to it. At the same time she felt a ring on her finger shift as it pressed against the fabric of her pouch, she recognized it as the proposal ring that Naruto had given to her about a month after the blond had spent a week with her, to make up for being in the Icha Icha Movie. Like Mei's it also had the seals on the underside, so that she could use it to call him when she needed him and never lose it.
She personally did not want to get Naruto involved in this and possibly get hurt, but she knew he would not only be pissed if she did not call him, but that he was also more powerful than her. Besides that she had promised Naruto that she would call him if she ever ran into Akatsuki, "Now I'm gonna show you why I'm the second strongest ninja in Kumo!" Yugito threw a kunai at the gate behind them; the sharp sizzling sound was the only warning as the kunai exploded causing the gate to collapse and the way out to be sealed shut. When the two were distracted by the explosion she channeled some chakra into her ring, sending a single pulse to let Naruto know she needed him.

Naruto stopped as he and Jiraiya were walking to their next destination, Jiraiya walked along for a little ways before noticing his student had stopped and was staring into space. Stopping as well Jiraiya turned to look at him, "Naruto is there a problem?"
Naruto looked at his sensei, "one of my Hiraishin seals went off, the one with Yugito. I'll see you later sensei," Naruto disappeared in a yellow flash before Jiraiya could even speak.
"Just like his father," Jiraiya mused as he continued on his journey

"Kaiton: Zukoku! (Fire Release: Infinite hard work)"
Several compressed fire balls shot out of the mouth of the mask Yugito had come to recognize as the fire one. The fire balls soon turned into a large fire storm that enveloped the area in front of her.
"Fuuton: Atsugi! (Wind Release: Severing Wind Pressure)"
A large maelstrom of pressurized wind was launched out of another mask, catching up to the flame and increasing its size and power. Yugito was just about to jump out of the way when a figure appeared right in front of her, the blond woman smiled as she recognized the familiar mop of spiky blond hair.
'Suiton: Suejinheki. (Water Release: Water Encampment Wall)'
As Naruto spread his arms out in front of him a giant wall of water began forming from the moisture in the air, in less than a second he and Yugito were surrounded by water as the collaboration jutsu smashed into the protective shield. There was a hiss of steam as the two jutsu clashed, the fire jutsu trying and failing to overpower Naruto's water wall. When the fire was completely put out Naruto pointed a finger at the two cloaked Akatsuki members.
'Suiton: Dabakufu No Jutsu. (Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu)'
The wall of water soon swirled around in a vortex before it launched itself at Kakazu and Hidan, the two jumped out of the way as the water drilled straight through the cement they were standing on.
"And you told me to be careful," Naruto said with a smirk as he turned his head to look at Yugito. "Yet here you are picking a fight with Akatsuki, really now Yugi-chan how hypocritical of you…"
"It's not like I went out of my way to find them," Yugito mumbled in embarrassment about her own words being turned on her. "Besides I called you didn't I?"
"True, and I'm gonna have to find some way to Thank you, as I was just getting bored from not having a challenge," Naruto grinned at her. "So how would you like to go on a date later tonight and then maybe afterwards we can take a nice trip to a communal hot springs…"
"That sounds nice…" Yugito said with a small blush.
