I can do that then. And put up blast shields if they're nearby.

Thanks. 

And he heads out to where Naruto, Cam, and Kurama are, Karin trailing behind him.

"Yo."

"Hey."

Naruto bounces up to him, giving him a sideways half-hug. "Hey Sasuke! What're the Land of Snow shinobi going to be doing, do you know yet?"

He puts up with the hug. "That Sagami Mariko's preparing some kind of counter-seal."

"That's good." He lets go. "You up for a stick-together plan? Instead of trying to split them up."

"We've gotten used enough to each other's powers, so."

To Cam: "Naruto and I will take point on any fighting. I'll have Kosuke and Daisuke actually in any lines of fire, though, and Karin next to me, so chances of me getting killed are hopefully low."

"This is Genuine Article Cam here so feel free to fling me in lines of fire as applicable."

"We'll see."

And then to settle in to wait, pretty much.

Waaaiting.

It is a very long and boring wait! 

And then they get news that the Akatsuki attacked four non-Leaf targets, apparently securing jinchuuriki in all four times: Sand (taking Gaara, the jinchuuriki of the One Tails, Shukaku), Cloud (taking the jinchuuriki of the Two Tails, Nekomatta), the loose Three Tails, and one itinerant jinchuuriki - though they're uncertain on that last. The undead Hokage and teams from the Leaf and Sand are in pursuit, but only the Sand actually told anyone their jinchuuriki had been taken - they only know about the others from Tobirama's sensory range.

Naruto twitches when he hears about Gaara, and: "Gaara's my friend. Him, the other jinchuuriki and Tailed Beasts - I can't let Akatsuki have them."

"That's, you know, valid, but what's your plan?"

"Kurama and I are strong, and I think Kurama's a better sensor than the second and has a connection to the other Tailed Beasts. We should be able to find where they've taken the jinchuuriki, and stop them."

"In principle aren't the others also really strong? 'Be strong' is a good step one... Finding them's not an issue, I can do that with forensic conjuration."

"They've figured out some way to hide themselves from a lot of chakra senses - forensic conjuration might help but they might also already have your Leaf clone on that?"

"If they do he's being kept very compellingly busy, I don't have an email yet and keeping in sync with myself is a high priority."

"Yeah, I dunno. Wouldn't hurt to help though..."

"I can start finding them but you do need a plan other than 'be strong'."

"...Go meet up with the undead Hokage and maybe bring Sasuke? And Sasuke could maybe make a couple more undead really quick?"

Cam looks at Sasuke.

"I don't mind helping with rescuing the jinchuuriki, and more undead reinforcements could tip the balance." He rattles off names he's discussed with the other undead: Uzumaki Mito, Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Kagami...

"Here, now?"

"If we want to move quick, that's best."

Bodies. Vials.
