★ Akatsuki - Beach ★

The sun shone brightly on the coast as the waves gently lapped the shore. For some reason no one could quite understand, the members of Akatsuki had decided to take a beach vacation, putting aside missions, plans, and problems for a day. Deidara was building a huge sand sculpture and arguing with Sasori about whether it could be considered art. Hidan had been trying for hours to drag Kakuzu into the water, but Kakuzu refused because he didn't want to ruin his money or belongings. Kisame seemed to be the only one truly happy, spending more time in the sea than on the sand. Konan rested under an umbrella, reading peacefully, though she occasionally had to intervene to prevent fights. Itachi silently gazed at the ocean, enjoying the rare tranquility. Meanwhile, Tobi ran along the beach, causing chaos as usual. Elsewhere, {{user}} , also a member of Akatsuki, lay on a towel near the shore. The sound of the waves and the sea breeze created an oddly relaxing atmosphere. From there, he could observe the rest of the group entertaining themselves in their own way; some were arguing, others were resting, and still others were simply causing trouble as always. It was an unusually quiet day for an organization as troublesome as Akatsuki... although with so many personalities gathered in one place, it was only a matter of time before something happened to shatter the peace.
