Though it was a clean shot, it was not without casualty. As the bullet went through the victim and imbedded itself into the wall, Fugaku fell. A trickle of blood already making its way from his mouth onto the carpet.
"Fugaku-sama, your wife called. She wants to know when you are coming home for din- shriek -What happened here!" Hana Inuzaku, Fugaku's secretary (or, she once was his secretary) just
walked into his office, staying late as she usually did.
She had always thought staying late had its perks; the extra cash in her paycheck was one of them, a promotion for errand-girl to a higher-up's secretary was another. It also got her to meet her now present day boyfriend Itachi. But she had not foreseen a dead body in the "staying late extras".
"Oh, goodness. Little miss Itachi's girlfriend has seen to much. Won't this be interesting office gossip." the figure in the shadows of the corner of the room said, unaffected by the dead body in the center of the office. With the gun in the figure's hand, it was obvious who had done the bloody deed.
"Unfortunately, gossip has been proven to interfere with our workers progress with their paperwork." Reaching out from the shadows to the now shaking girl, he pulled her to his chest, shoving the gun into her mouth. By now, tear had begun to fall from Hana's eyes and light sobs became evident. "I'll be sure that little gossip doesn't get out." the figure continued.
Quiet footfall could be heard outside the office door.
"Hana, are you in here? I called you two times already. You should really leave your phone on." The new guest said as he walked into the office only to stop dead in his tracks as the saw the scene before him. Yes folks, the new guest was Itachi.
"What are you doing." he voice clam and controlled, but his eyes betrayed the inner panic that was quickly settling in.
"Is this really going to be a party?" the shadowed figure asked, his voice still casual with a wicked tone to it. "Is there anyone else in the building?"
Itachi only shook his head.
"Good," the figure said, his voice gained a bit of cheer, as if things were looking up for him. "Now here is what is going to happen," the figure strolled into the dim light of the office, dragging Hana in tow, gun still in her mouth. "You are going to be the nice little murderer of your dear old man, and run away. Being the kind uncle that I am, I will give you nine minutes to get away before I call in all the active cops on the chief of polices oldest son for the murder of his father and the major explosives heist." The cheer still evident in the gunman's voice.
Itachi took a step forward, as he did so, the figure shifted his hold on the girl in his arms who whimpered a bit.
"No, no little Itachi. Try and act hero and Miss Hana will have her brains blown out. Also courtesy of you."
A growl escaped the younger mans lips. "Why are you doing this? What explosives heist?"
A light chuckle fell from the figures lips, "It looks lit my dear younger brother didn't inform you of the suspicion of the Akatsuki in the area."
Itachi winced at the name.
"Looks like he didn't." the figure sighed. Then his voice hardened. "Your nine minutes starts now. You know how I dislike leaving loose ends, so I would start running."
Itachi looked at his girlfriend who was still tearing up in fear. "Hana-"
"-will be fine. I will be keeping her from the public though so that pretty mouth of hers doesn't let anything slip." the figure cut in. "Eight minutes now."
With one last look at the shaking girl, he dashed out the building. Wind whipping in his face, the only thought now was finding a place out of public view. If his uncle found him, he would easily manipulate the strings for an early execution status.

Back at office, the figure quickly pulled out a phone, "Zetsu, get over here. I need you to transport a guest of mine to one of our warehouses. Yes, the deal will still go as planned. " A smile was evident on the figures face. Everything was working out for him, even with the road bumps. Bringing his lips down to the shaking girls ear, he whispered, "Stay silent and you may just stay alive." Before he brought the handle of the gun down on the back of her head, efficiently knocking her out.
Next he picked up a walky-talky on the side of the recently deceased Fugaku's desk, "Calling all units, calling all units. We have a murderer on the loose. A Itachi Uchiha has just murdered the chief. He is now on the run. I repeat, Itachi Uchiha is on the run."
Not four minutes after the call was made did sirens ring in the sleepy Konoha city. The rise of a new day, and a recent murder.
LlLlLl
As Itachi ran through the streets, sirens rang behind him. The blasting noises only made his feet go faster.
Soon shouts were also heard as well as the accompanied barking of dogs.
'Left turn as the ramen stand, then left turn at the flower shop would bring me to a sewer hole. If I get in there maybe I can follow it till I get out of the town.' Itachi thought.
Following the map in his head, he made it past the ramen shop, but the odds were coming against him as more and more of the officers caught sight of his tail. The noises were ringing in his head, as well as a few shots that had recently been fired. None of them made it in hitting range. But with the gap between the officers and him, it was only a matter of time before one hit him.
'Thirty yards!' Itachi thought. The sewer hole in sight. Still the bullets came closer to his body.
'Twenty yards!' A sudden pain went through him as a bullet hit his left arm. Gritting his teeth, he clutched the bleeding arm and kept on running.
'Ten yards!' right as he was about to reach his destination, a net of bullets was shot. Some of the hit Itachi in the arms, others in the legs. One went straight through his left side. He paused, coughed up some blood before he fell to his knees and tipped forward, heading face first into the man hole.
Some of the officers could be seen looking into the darkness of the sewer hole. Darkness stared right back at them.
