~ The Black Leaf ~

A/N: Hi everyone! This is my very first fic on the site, so until I get better at this, no flames please! :)

Summary: What if Sasuke didn't leave the village, and then Danzo told him the truth of Itachi, along with the Fifth Hokage and all the villagers? Team Seven then searches for Sasuke's older brother.

Disclaimer: I absolutely do not own Naruto. If I did, then Itachi wouldn't have to vanish or 'die' again because of stupid Edo Tensei. I only own this story or fic or... whatever you call it. The anime belongs to an awesome guy named Masashi Kishimoto.

Team 7 was called at the Hokage's office. I wonder why they're called?

"I wonder what mission Granny Tsunade is going to give us!", Naruto said excitedly.

"It could be any mission.", says Sakura.

"I doubt it will be like any original mission.", Sasuke said. Naruto and Sakura's eyes widen slightly.

"What makes you think that?", Sakura says in a shaky voice.

"Who knows? She just might get us to bring him back.", Sasuke said.

'Now that you think about it, Granny Tsunade might just get us to bring him back.', Naruto thought.

"Sasuke, I don't think-", Sakura was cut off mid-way. She started to think about it deeply.

"The sooner we get there, the sooner will know.", Sasuke said simply.

"Right! Let's go!", Sasuke replies the usual "Hn.", only this time, with a smirk.

~Team 7 arrives at the Hokage's office.~

"We're here, Granny!", Naruto said happily. I wonder what will be their mission today?

Someone else enters the room.

"Kakashi-sensei?", Sakura said surprisingly.

"What're you doing here, sensei? We do missions in our own now, right?", Naruto asks, "Wait! If you're here that means…", Naruto adds with slight panic in his voice.

"That's right. This mission is too difficult, even for you guys.", Kakashi said. Now, Team Seven was beginning to think that maybe what Sasuke said was right.

"Your mission is ranked S. And you do every mission with your sensei when it comes to rank S, right?", Tsunade said. Now, they're really starting to think that they're going to-

"Your mission is to bring Uchiha Itachi to the Leaf Village.", Tsunade stated.

Sasuke is as smart as ever.

"I knew it.", Sasuke stated but with little fear in his voice, although it's not that obvious.

"Sasuke, you were right.", Sakura said with panic. Gosh, Sakura, what do you expect from a ninja like him? He is, after all, his little brother.

"Kakashi will discuss everything what you all are going to do.", Tsunade stated the word 'everything' a bit sharply.

Team 7 nodded.

"Okay, all of you get ready. I'll be waiting at the village gate.", Kakashi ordered.

"Right.", Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura said in unison.

'We're really going to confront Nii-san…'

'We're going to face another Uchiha like Sasuke…'

'We're going to…'

'… definitely bring that black leaf back to the village, where he should belong.'

At the village gate…~ (A/N: they already finished preparing their stuff.)

"All right. I declare that the mission of bringing Uchiha Itachi back to the village… starts now! Do all your very best out there, and good luck!", Tsunade said with a loud voice.

"Right!", Team 7 said in unison.

"Everyone, follow me.", Kakashi ordered again. Team 7 nodded.
