Hitomi's POV
The moon glistened in the dark as the warm light of the Sand Village was in view. Only a couple houses were lit, for most of them were pitch black and silent. Nobody was out in the streets, for they were either sleeping or at the Leaf Village watching the Chunin Exams. I also knew the Kagekage wasn't in town, for he too was at the Chunin Exams, watching his three children compete against others.

I looked around just in case there were some bandits nearby, and then got up and walked onto the streets of the Village. It was cold now, and I was ridiculously tired. I wanted to fall down and close my eyes, but I had to wait for an hour or so until I could finally sleep. I forced myself to stay awake by constantly counting in my mind.

My eyes looked around for the puppet shop, and soon found it next to the nearby bakery. It was closed, but I had a plan to let the owner buy me a puppet during this time of night.

However, I first had to disguise myself so that the owner wouldn't recognize me as Hitomi Uchiha. I had to do this just in case he was questioned whether he had seen a girl who escaped from her home and left her village.

I formed my hands into a simple disguise jutsu and imagined myself looking like a tall grown woman with short brown hair and dark pink eyes. I also imagined myself having black tattoos on my eyes that resembled bulky lines.

A cloud of chakra surrounded me as I felt my features change dramatically. I grew tall, and soon my transformation was complete.

I took a deep breath before entering into the store. I knocked on the door and waited for a response.

Soon, it opened to reveal a grumpy old woman in her pajamas.

"Do you have any idea how late it is?" she coldly said, "My god, adults these days, thinking they could stay up all night..."

I bowed down my head. "I'm very sorry to disturb you miss, I just wanted to get a puppet a friend. Please let me purchase one, I'll pay extra."

The old lady raised an eyebrow as she glared at me intensely. Her eyes glanced at my pocket before speaking again.

"And how much?"

"I'll pay 8460.60 extra." I paused, "Please?"

Her eyes widened as a smile appeared on her face. Her wrinkled eyes lit up as she opened the door and let me in.

"Come in, come in. Buy any puppet you like!"

I smiled as I looked at the shelves full of puppets. The store had a large variety, ranging from mini puppets to full on male adult sized ones.

I needed one that was both flexible and durable, and even better, fire proof. Wood wouldn't work, but metal wouldn't either. Metal would be too stiff for a whole body. I had to look for a clay based puppet.

After a bit of scanning around the store, I finally found one that met all of my requirements.

It was a tall, muted red puppet that was made out of strong and bulky clay. It had strong supporting legs and 'bones,' and was very sturdy. It had flexible joints, making it very easy to move around.

I pointed at the puppet and watched the lady get if down and take it to the register.

I paid for the puppet and then went on. I could feel Hidan bouncing around in my bag, anxious to finally get a body again. I needed to go somewhere far though, just in case someone would see.

After a little bit of running, I found a dark corner of dead shrubs and cacti. You couldn't see anything behind the plants, for it was too dark to even see a outline of somebody. So, I took out my bag and took Hidan out of it.

"About time you take me out of that fucking bag." he groaned, "And what's up with your face? You look uglier."

I twitched as my jutsu wore off. I tried to ignore his comment as I took the puppet out of its bag. I saw Hidan's eyes light up when the puppet came into view.

"You actually got me a body...huh." he smirked, "I expected something like you burning me of something."

"I could if I want to." I coldly said, glaring. "And I will burn your future body right in front of you if you keep making rude remarks."

His eyes widened by my comment. He frowned as he sheepishly looked away. I smiled at his sudden obedience.

I took his head and flipped him upside down. I put my hand against his scarred neck and started focusing a small amount of chakra into him.

"What the he-" he started, then pausing. Hidan took back his words and spoke again. "What are you doing?"

"I'm tapping my chakra into you so that you could connect to the puppet. Once you're connected, I'll spend a couple of days rebuilding your chakra system with my chakra in your body so that you could move and regain your lost energy."

"Won't that wipe out your own chakra then?"

I nodded. "It'll be worth it. You will protect me for the next couple of days so that I could start my training."

Hidan raised an eyebrow in admiration. Interest lit up in his face as I laid him on my lap to continue building up chakra.

"You're a smart kid. Even though I don't completely understand your plans."

My smile disappeared as I nodded again. Hidan closed his eyes as I took a deep breath. This would be a long couple of days...and I would have to travel every morning with such a low amount of chakra each day.

I watched Hidan fall asleep as a light illuminated in my head. The good thing about giving him my chakra is that it will guarantee that there will always be a large amount of my own chakra in his system. That would mean that I could control him with any jutsu...either to burn him up from the inside or to make him fly up in the air. This method would give me ultimate control over Hidan.

I smiled.

And with Hidan under my demand soon...the second part of my plan would take place.
