Chapter 1: Interesting

Sakura's POV

I was called in by Tsunade Shishou for a mission early in the morning. I had my usual ninja outfit on which was just a red sleeveless shirt with the clan symbol in the back along with a pair of shorts that were covered by a light pink skirt and ninja boots.

"Shishou," I sighed walking into her office.

"Sakura good now everyone's here let's get down to business,"

I looked around to see Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shuishi and Shiranui-san.

"Sakura-chan," Shisui greeted.

"Shisui, Uchiha-san, Shiranui-san," I greeted.

"Haruno-san," The Uchiha heir greeted.

"Oh come on Sakura-chan you know you can call me Genma," Shiranui-san commented.

"HEY…now quiet down you all have a mission…escort the Daimyo's daughter to the Village hidden by clouds," Shishou commented.

"Hai Hokage-sama,"

"Itachi you are the captain for this mission, Sakura you are the medic and second in command you depart in one hour,"

"Hai Hokage-sama," we responded before walking out.

"SAKURA-CHAN," I heard someone familiar call out.

I turned to be met with my blonde hyper active teammate Naruto. I moved to the side missing the hug he was about to give me.

"Che Dobe," I heard Sasuke smirk.

"Shut up Teme,"

"Ugh guys what do you need," I asked wondering.

"We looked for you at your house but they said you left early," Naruto commented.

"Oh I have a mission…Sorry guys but I have to go pack I leave in an hour," I smiled.

"When you come back we shall go to Ichiraku," Naruto said.

"Yeah once we return," I smiled as I started my way back to the compound.

"Sakura-sama your teammates arrived a while ago I told them you were out," one of the servants stated.

"Thank you Ryuu I have a mission so I need to get my stuff," I sighed walking to my room.

"Okaasan, Okaasan," I heard someone call out. I turned around to see a twi year old little boy with onyx blue hair and green eyes running up to me.

"Hello Kauro wanna help me pack," I asked bending down to his height.

"Uh huh,"

"Well come on," I smiled taking hold on his hand.

We walked to my room. I closed the door and placed the little boy on the bed. I walked to my closet and pulled out several scrolls, kunais, shuriken, tent, sleeping bag and some medical supplies. I grabbed my pack and stuffed everything in it.

"Okaasan how long are you going to be way," Kauro asked wondering.

"I don't know but Naruto and Sasuke are going to take care of you while I'm away alright," I responded with a smile.

"Okay," he smiled.

I quickly changed into my Anbu uniform and strapped on my weapon pouch and pack. I took hold of Kauro's hand as we walked out of the room.

"Ah Sakura-sama, Kauro-kun where are you off too today," another servant asked.

"I will be heading off to a mission. I am leaving Kauro with Sasuke, Naruto and the clan's hands if anything happens to him they know the consequences," I said sternly.

"Yes, Sakura-sama good luck on your mission," he said before walking away.

"Come Kauro it is almost time for me to depart," I said as we walked out of the compound.

I could feel the clan members glare at Kauro. I glared back at them. I looked down to see that Kauro was smiling happily.

"Why are you so happy today," I asked a smirk plastered on my face.

"Cause I get two spend time with Uncle Sasuke and Uncle Naruto," he smiled cheekily.

"Haha that's true you haven't been able to spend time with them lately," I smiled as we walked to the village gates. Once we got there we found Itachi waiting.

"Uchiha-san," I greeted as Kauro and I took a seat by the tree.

"I did not know that we were taking a child with us," he smirked.

"He's not going with us," I sneered

"SAKURA-CHAN," I heard a familiar voice call out.

"Look Okaasan its Uncle Sasuke and Uncle Naruto," he smiled.

I turned to see that Sasuke, Naruto and Shuishi were walking our way.

"Hi Sasuke, Naruto, Shuishi," I greeted softly

"Uncle Sasuke, Uncle Naruto," Kauro smiled cheekily.

"Hey Kauro ready to have some fun," Naruto asked.

"Remember Naruto anything happens to him and you are dead," I smiled evilly.

"Don't worry Sakura-chan,"

"Remember don't let him go to the compound for anything. If he needs something one of you go buy it because I don't want him on the compound at any cost," I stated.

"Don't worry Sakura-chan teme and I will make sure your clan don't get near him at all cost and plus you know you can trust us," Naruto grinned.

"Alright well I leave in a couple of minutes Kauro remember do not go to the compound ok and if Naruto or Sasuke treat you bad you go to Tsunade-Shishou ok," I said.

"Hi Okaasan," he smiled giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Good," I smiled softly at him.

I watched as he walked around me and walked to Itachi. I looked at him as he asked Itachi to bend down to his height. He whispered something in Itachi's ear that caused him to twitch. He smiled at him before running back to me. He smiled up at me before pulling my arms so I could bend down to his height. He placed his hands around my ear.

"Tou-san promised to protect Okaasan be safe," he smiled before running to Sasuke and Naruto.

I slipped on my mask and sighed. I looked to Naruto then to Sasuke then to Kauro. "Take care of him," I said before walking to the group.

We took off into the forest and headed to the Daimyo's house. I looked at everyone Itachi was up front Shuishi was on my left and Genma was at my right.

"So Sakura-chan I didn't know you had a kid," Shuishi asked.

"He's not mine. I found him after a mission a year ago. He was only a couple of months old. He considers me his mother and my teammates his uncles," I responded.

"And why don't you want him to go to the compound,"

"Because the Clan elders have tried several times to kill him," I said remembering the last time they tried to kill him.

"Why would they want to kill him? He is just a little boy right,"

"Actually he is not just a little boy," I stated.

"What do you mean?"

"After I found him I did some research and tried to find out who his parents were and where he came from,"

"And what did you find?"

"Kauro is not just a little boy. He has the ability to control people with just the change of eye color,"

"What?! How did you find out," Genma asked wondering.

"When he was nine his eyes turned red and controlled my movements. I later found out that Kauro came from the Hikari clan," I responded doing a back flip on a branch.

"What the Hikari clan I've never heard of them," Shuishi said confused.

"The Hikari clan has the ability to control whatever they want with the change of their eye color," I answered.

"Wow no wonder your clan elders hate him,"

"We've arrived," Itachi said.

We stood in front of a huge gate. A couple of guards stood in front of the gate protecting it. "State your business," they asked.

"We are Shinobi from the village hidden in the leaves," Itachi answered.

"The Daimyo is waiting for you," they said letting us pass.

We walked into the huge mansion and were greeted by the Daimyo and his daughter. We were explained everything about the mission and were even escorted out. The Daimyo's daughter sat in her carriage as we walked around it.

"Wolf-san do you feel that," I asked.

"Yes Cat-san prepare to battle," Itachi responded.

Out of nowhere a bunch of rogue ninja appeared. I stood still while the others did their battle stance.

"What are you doing here," Itachi commanded.

"Sir they're Anbu Shinobi of the leaf," one said.

"Look sir they even have a women, sadly her face is covered by a mask," another smirked.

"Why don't you take off that mask so we can see your pretty face," the same one smirked walking up to me.

"Hn,"

"Oh the silent type are we," he grinned evilly.

"Just give us the girl and we will be on our way," the leader commanded.

"The girl is under our protection no one is to harm her," Itachi responded.

"You give us no choice…kill them all, but the girl," the leader commanded.

I punched the guy that had walked up to me to a tree before they could move. I was annoyed as hell. I walked slowly to the group and started to beat them all up into a pulp. I tied them around a tree and dusted imaginary dust off my cloths.

"Shall we continue," I sighed annoyed.

"You could have left some for us Cat-chan," Shuishi smirked.

"They were getting on my nerves,"

"Let's continue," Itachi commanded as we continued to walk.

It took us a couple of days to get to the Village hidden in the clouds. Once we entered the village we left the daimyo's daughter at the castle.

"Thank you for brining the daimyo's daughter to the palace safely," one of the servants thanked.

We bowed and dismissed ourselves. As we were heading back to the village I felt a familiar chakra following behind us. I felt a kunai being aimed at my back. I quickly moved causing the kunai to scrap my arm. The scratch healed rather quickly as I did a back flip allowing me to land perfectly on the ground.

"I see you found me once more," I smirked standing up straight.

"Sakura-chan why don't you come with us now,"

"I will never go with you," I sneered grabbing a kunai from my pouch.

"Now, now Sakura-chan Orochimaru-sama won't like that you are disobeying him,"

"Kabuto what makes you think that I will go with you plus I know what Orochimaru wants and he will never get it," I sneered.

"Now who said we had to take you without using some force," he smirked.

"Agh,"

He grabbed his scalpel and headed my way. I quickly moved to the side and punched him only for it to be a clone. He came behind me only to be kicked to a nearby tree. He threw a round of kunais only to have them blocked. I could feel his chakra run low as I did some hand seals. I tapped his arms quickly before pulling away.

"AHHH WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" he yelled in pain.

"I closed your chakra reserves you won't be able to use them for twenty-four hours," I said standing back.

"Kabuto you will be taken to the Village hidden in the leaf to be interrogated," I sighed taking out a scroll.

Right when I had opened the scroll someone appeared next to Kabuto. I looked up to see Orochimaru standing next to him. I growled as he took hold of Kabuto and disappeared.

"We shall meet again Sakura-chan," Orochimaru said evilly.

I growled as my team finally fell at my side. "What happened," Shuishi asked wondering.

"Grr…Orochimaru," I growled as they all looked at me weird.

"I have to talk to Tsunade-Shishou," I said quickly turning around.

We ran all the way back to the village full speed and little amount of chakra left because of the battle with Kabuto. I could feel my body scream in pain but I ignored it. Once we reached the village I fell to my knees. I coughed several times only to see blood smear the dirt floor.

"Ah Sakura-chan are you alright," Shuishi asked concerned.

"I need to see the Hokage agh," I growled as I quickly took my water and added some herbs into it. I quickly mixed it with a bit of my chakra and gulped it down. I grabbed my kunai and slit my wrist. I pulled a test tube from my pocket and placed it under the cut. I could see the black liquid slip out of the cut and into the tube.

"What is that," Shuishi asked confused.

"Poison…Kabuto probably poisoned me when he scratched me with the scalpel. I need to analysis it,"

"But won't it kill you,"

"No I have taken all the poison out of my system I just need to find an antidote,"

"I don't understand…why do you need an antidote now that it is out of your system,"

"You see Shuishi the Haruno clan has many different types of medical skills such as my own. We can remove any poison in our system with the help of some water, herbs and our chakra. At times the process is indeed quite difficult because of the different types of herbs that are needed," I explained.

"Wow your clan sure has a lot of knowledge,"

"Yes, it does. Now I need to talk to the Hokage immediately," I said as Itachi helped me up.

"I'll report to the Hokage you guys can leave," Itachi ordered.

"Alright later guys, Bye Sakura-chan," they smiled walking away.

We walked to the Hokage tower together still thinking about the mission and the interruptions.

We walked into the office to be greeted with the Hokage and the usual Anbu. I bowed before starting my report.

"Tsunade-Shishou they attacked again this time I took care of Kabuto sadly Orochimaru appeared before I could bring him into to custody," I stated.

"Not again was the mission successful,"

"Yes I managed to seal Kabuto's arms but it will only last for twenty-four hours,"

"Alright you have a week off of work duty…you're dismissed,"

"Hai,"

As we walked out of the office and down the steps I could feel the Uchiha tense besides me.

"Is there something wrong Uchiha-san," I asked.

"Just one thing…If I may can I ask you a question,"

"Go ahead,"

"Why is Orochimaru after you,"

"Hm I knew you were going to ask that…Ha well you see as the Haruno clan heir and being the Hokage's apprentice I have the knowledge and skill of every medical jutsu created as well as the skills to create any poison or antidote in under any sort of pressure," I answered.

"OKKAS-SAN, TOU-SAN," we heard someone call out happily.

I turned to the noise to see Kauro running up to us a bandage on his arm and a band aid on his forehead. He continued to run up to us as Naruto and Sasuke ran behind him. He had a smile plastered on his tiny face. I bent down and opened my arms in order to catch him. He jumped into my arms happily as we twirled around in a circle.

"Hello Kauro why do you have a band aid on your forehead and bandage on your arm," I asked wondering.

"Ah Aunt Tsunade was showing me how to heal a wound on my arm and the band aid was for fun," he smiled cheekily.

"Did you have a good time with the guys," I smiled.

"Yup Uncle Naruto took me to Ichiraku and to the mountain oh and Uncle Sasuke let me stay at his house and Aunt Mikoto made me lots of onigir and dango," he smiled cheekily.

"That's good now how about we head home," I smiled cheekily.

"Ah Sakura-chan you promised to go with us to Ichiraku when you came back," Naruto whined.

"Oh well then let's get going," I smiled "See you around Uchiha-san,"

"Bye Tou-san," Kauro smiled waving good bye to Itachi.

That was the first day that Itachi Uchiha took interest in the Haruno heir.
