Oh no! There's crisis in the village, not only did Itachi returns to the village, but he, along with his partner, Kisame, are seeking out and capture Naruto. Yet, instead, they captured Sakura, not only to use her to lure the fox demon right to them, but also decided to take her to the Akatsuki's because of her unknown powers; right after they capture Naruto. Although Naruto is kind of in a middle of dealing with Sasuke, since they're little love triangle is getting a bit out of hand, because they're about to end up fighting over Sakura. As for everyone else, they're kind of…

Village, somewhere in the forest…

Naruto and Sasuke are at an open field, as they're about to start…

"Shadow Clone jutsu!" Naruto said as he multiple of clones appeared, all in their fighting position, "You're going down teme," they all said. Sasuke got into his fighting stance, with his Sharingan still activated, "I don't think so," he said with a smirk on his face. Then without a second thought, Naruto and his clones charged at him, Sasuke saw them coming as they started throwing attacks at him. He dodged and blocked their punches and kicks, when dodged the last punched, he grabbed one of the clones and threw him to the other. By the time they 'poofed' away, Sasuke was about to reach out his weapons… until the clones stopped him as they grabbed hold of his arms, legs, and body; which leaves his face wide open for Naruto to throw a punch at him. Then…

Punch! (Poof!)

When he punched him, he's the one who's feeling the pain, that his fist is cover in splinters… from a log!

"What the…?!" he said,

"He used a Substitution jutsu," one of the clones said

"That bastard!"

"Where's that creep hiding?"

Just when they're about search for him… a bunch of shuriken were thrown out of the trees, and heading right towards Naruto and his clones. Each clone got hit…

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Three clones 'poofed' away…

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

Five clones 'poofed' away…

Poof! Poof! Poof!

There was smoke everywhere, as the real Naruto was left standing, "Shit," his said, as the smoke slowly cleared away. Suddenly… Sasuke appeared behind with his kunai knife to strike him, fortunately Naruto already sensed his presence and got out his kunai knife out, as they blocked their attacks. They faced each other, as their kunais are clinging,

"You're pretty quick, for a moron," Sasuke said,

"The only moron I see is you," Naruto said. They pushed away from each other, and both pulled out and threw their shurikens at the same time. By the time the shurikens deflected each other and the two rivals got in their fighting stance,

"Get it over your head, she choose me and you're just an interference," Sasuke said,

"You're the one to talk, you liked her because I liked her first," Naruto said.

Little did they know, Jiraya was walking through the forest, all soaked and wet, "That's the first time I ever met a woman with a killer punch…" he said to himself while rubbing his jaw, "Above all women I ever met, her's is over 180," he said. Then…

"Like I care about who likes her first, we made out," he heard a voice from a stubborn Genin not very far, which made him stop,

"Well we made out," he heard another voice but from a keen knuckle-head, "Heh… is that who I think it is?" Jiraya said. Then he walked through the bushes, and saw… two Genins, as they're fighting with kunai knifes, "Oh it's Naruto and that Uchiha kid, are they like training or something?" he said as thought that they're sparring.

"You're just interfering, so how about you do us a favor and step-off," Sasuke yelled,

"How about you back-off!" Naruto yelled,

"I see what's going on," Jiraya said as he knows what they're doing.

Village…

Racarsu was walking through the village, hoping to find his pink-haired girlfriend around, by the time he reached to the corner…

"AAAHHHH!!!!!"

"Eh!" he responded as he recognized that scream from anyone, he quickly ran up to the corner as he saw… two complete strangers in black cloths with small red clouds, and one of them is holding an unconscious pink-haired kunoichi in his arms.

"Sarla!" he responded when he saw his girlfriend in trouble, "Hey!" he yelled, Kisame and Itachi heard him as they turned to him, Racarsu got into his fighting stance and gathered up his chakra.

"I don't know who you guys are, but I suggest you give me back my girlfriend and I won't have to bury you guys through the earth's core," Racarsu said in an anger tone. Whenever his brothers, let alone his girlfriend, are in trouble, he takes action of taking out anyone who harmed the people cared about.

"Great, another little brat," Kisame said as he grabbed his wrapped-up sword, "… His chakras the same as the girl," Itachi said while holding the unconscious Sakura in bridal style, and also see more spirits around Racarsu with his Sharingan. "You wanna bring him as well?" Kisame asked, "…No, he'll just slow us down," Itachi answered.

"I'm not gonna tell you again, let her go or you both have to deal with me," Racarsu said as he placed his hand on the ground, Itachi noticed his chakra spreading all over the ground, as he and Kisame are standing right under it. "I'm warning you," he said as he ain't playing around, and about to unleash his secret technique, Itachi saw an amount of chakra charging at him and Kisame. Itachi quickly got off the ground, carrying Sakura with him, Kisame also got off the ground, but wasn't quick enough when sharp rocks merged out of the ground, and charging at Kisame in full speed. In the air, Kisame was able to dodge in time, except…

Spikes emerged out of the ground and charged at Kisame, Kisame tried to dodged them even in the air… though, he got scratched on his lower torso, which tore a piece of his clothe. Before he land back the ground… Racarsu appeared behind him with a kunai, and is about to strike him. Kisame saw him, and quickly used his sword to clash to his kunai knife, "You're pretty quick for some brat who's going to get cut," he said, "Well at least I'm not born with a fish-face," Racarsu said. "Why you!" Kisame as he swung sword at him, but clashed into his kunai again, they faced each other as Kisame begin to push down his sword on Racarsu. Racarsu tried his best to push back, though the amount of Kisame's sword's weight is heavy enough to overcome his kunai knife. Little did he know… when Kisame's sword it at the middle between his neck and shoulder on his right side, Kisame smirked,

"Got cha'," he said as he slid his sword… it's wrap came off… and…

SCRATCH!!

"AAAHH!!!" Racarsu screamed in pain, as Kisame's weapon, Samehada, scratched the middle of his right shoulder. He pulled himself away from him, as his shoulder's bleeding, he placed his hand on it to prevent losing anymore blood. Kisame chuckled, "You actually think a brat like you can beat me, I killed over a thousand weaklings like you, you're good as dead once I finish you," he said as he set his weapon towards him,

"That bastard," Racarsu thought while he glaring at him. Then…

"Enough Kisame," Kisame turned and saw Itachi appeared behind, with the unconscious Sakura in his right arm,

"Leave this one alive," Itachi said. Racarsu saw Sakura in his arm as he started glaring at him, "What have you done to Sar—Eh!" he was interrupted by a jutsu taking over his body, "A Paralaze jutsu," he thought as he can't move his body. By that time…

Itachi walked up and stood in front of him,

"The reason I'm letting you live is because I needed you to send a message to a certain ninja," Itachi said as he looked at him with his Sharingan.

"Now listen…" he started…

Back to Naruto vs. Sasuke…

They continued fighting, unaware of Jiraya's presence, they jumped away from each other,

"It's always about you teme, there are plenty of fan girls who could be your girlfriend, and yet you choose someone who doesn't give a damn about you," Naruto said,

"Now that's when you're wrong dobe, I know something that not even an idiot like you would understand," Sasuke stated.

"I rather not know what you're talking about, but I rather finish you off so I can get back on my date," Naruto said as he clenched on his kunai,

"This ends now," Sasuke said as he did the same on his kunai. Then, they both charged at full speed, they both intimidate as their kunai's are targeting each other's…

"Knock it off!" Jiraya yelled as he appeared in the middle… grabbed both their heads… and…

BAM!

"AAAAHHHHH!!!!!" they both screamed in pain, they both got 'head-butt' to each other, and it hurts their head (a lot).

"My head," Naruto cried,

"My head," Sasuke provoked, then Jiraya stood among them, as they're still in pain

"You know… I've seen two boys fighting over a girl from time to time, but I never seen two comrades fighting over a comrade," Jiraya stated. They both turned to him, "What's the big deal of you two blockheads fighting over a girl, who already has a boyfriend? Does it ever occur to you that she doesn't want to see neither of you killing each other for her affection? Both of you should know better than to treat a girl like she's some prize to be won and I'll bet she won't like neither of you if she saw you two like this," Jiraya clarified. Naruto and Sasuke became silent after listening to his lecture,

"He's right," Sasuke thought,

"Ah man," Naruto thought,

To think that their anger and jealousy would come to this, they forgot they're team 7, and that they're friends, not enemies.

"As for this fight, we'll call this a draw," Jiraya said,

"I can't believe I turn out like this," Sasuke said,

"Well I can't believe I listened to a lecture from a pervert who stare at women all day," Naruto said.

"I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Jiraya yelled at him, Naruto ignored him as he turned to Sasuke,

"Say teme, what is it that you know something I won't understand?" he asked,

"It's just… something I discovered yesterday," Sasuke answered as he looked away.

"Hey, me too," Sasuke turned back to Naruto,

"Like what?" he said,

"What about you?" Naruto asked,

"I asked you first," Sasuke said, there was silence between them again.

"About a village… in a forest… " Sasuke's eyes slowly widened as Naruto continues, "With spirits… along with--"

"Crystals," Sasuke said, now Naruto's eyes became widen, "Secrete… sister… Nanako Komogoto," he said. They both became shocked, as they both knew Sakura's secret but never told each other about it, until now!

"You knew?!" Naruto asked,

"You knew?!" Sasuke asked,

"Knew what?" Jiraya asked as he has no idea what they're talking about.

"Who told you?" Sasuke asked,

"Her mother, who told you?" Naruto answered and asked,

"Herself," Sasuke answered.

"But then… Gah! I almost forgot that Sakura is waiting for me at the Ichiraku's," Naruto said as he just remembered his ramen date with Sakura,

"Would someone tell me what's going on?" Jiraya said as he's really confused. Then suddenly…

KABOOM!

They all heard an explosion as they turned to where they saw smoke, coming through the other side of the village.

"What the hell!" Naruto said,

"It's coming from over there," Jiraya said as they immediately left the area and followed the smoke in the village.

Few minutes later…

They all made it to the other side of the village, and saw…

Damaged buildings and a huge pile of large bricks and everything from it, "There was a fight here," Jiraya thought as he can sensed amount of chakra left behind… but one still remains. Then they noticed something coming out of the pile, a person trying to get out of the pile… a Genin… with brown eyes… brown hair… and a bleeding shoulder…

"Hey, it's Racarsu," Naruto said, then he and Sasuke ran up to remove the brick, the woods, and everything to get him out of there. During that time… Racardu and Racarnu appeared and saw their brother in the pile hurt,

"Brother," Racarnu yelled as he and Racardu immediately ran up and help Naruto and Sasuke get Racarsu out of the pile. After they did it, Jiraya picked him up out of the pile, Racarsu groan in pain, not just on his bleeding shoulder, but also his broken hip, along with his twisted left ankle. Jiraya placed him on the ground, "He's in bad condition," he said,

"Brother what happened?" Racardu asked,

"T-there were… two people here… intruders in the village… and they took Sarla," Racarsu managed to answer.

"Sarla… you mean Sakura?! Two people took Sakura-chan?!" Naruto said as he's shocked, then he grabbed his left shoulder and faced him,

"Who are they, and what do they want with Sakura-chan?" he asked in demand, Racarsu looked at him,

"…T-there's a message, one of them inform me… to tell you," he said. Naruto became silent,

"What happened was…"

Flashback, few minutes earlier…

"Now listen, I want you to tell Naruto Uzumaki that if he wants to see this girl alive, he'll need to surrender himself and meet us at the mountains away from the village around noon. Be sure he comes alone and no funny business, if he brought anyone, an Anbu or one of the Jounins, with him, I won't hesitate to kill her," Itachi said as Racarsu is still paralyzed. "Be sure to tell him that if he ever wants to see this girl again, and by then…" he released the jutsu, Racarsu was about to attack but…

Kick!

Itachi beat him to it as he kicked him to the stomach, with a side-thrust, which made him flew into the opposite direction until he hit the wall. "Don't even think about following us," he said as he unleashed…

Paper-bombs, attached to the building above them, as they're all lit-up and…

KABOOM!

The buildings exploded, Itachi, with the unconscious Sakura in him arm, and Kisame quickly disappeared and left the area. The building collapsed as it's falling on towards Racarsu, Racarsu saw the building falling towards him as he's about to be crushed. He thinks fast as he had his free hand placed on the ground,

"Shield!" he said as the ground quickly formed a shield around and over him, as he's safe inside. Though he thought, that by the time the build collapsed on it, it wasn't strong enough as some broke through and fell on Racarsu, some bricks on his right hip, and large wood on his left foot. Apparently he was trapped inside a pile of large bricks, woods, and everything on top of him,

"Sarla," he thought of his girlfriend, as he couldn't rescue her time. That's when a few minutes later, Naruto, Sasuke, Jiraya and his brothers came to get him out.

Flashback over…

"I-I couldn't stop them, I wasn't strong enough to save Sarla," he said.

"Do you at least, have a description on those two people?" Sasuke asked,

"All I know is… one of them looks like a shark, with blue skin and hair, and carried a big wrapped up sword… and his partner who took Sarla is…" Racarsu hesitated as he looked at Sasuke, "What?" he asked as he's staring at him.

"… His partner looked exactly like you… but older, with long black hair, and red eyes," Racarsu said. Sasuke frosted after he said that, "Older… long black hair… red eyes…" he thought as he figure out,

"Itachi," he said as he discovered his brother is here.

"Say… do they by any chance wear black cloths with red clouds on them?" Jiraya asked, "Yeah, that's right," Racarsu answered.

"Shit," he whispered as he found out the members of the Akatsuki's are here, and knows they're after Naruto.

"He needs to be taken to the hospital, Naruto you come with me," Jiraya said as Racardu and Racarnu helped Racarsu up and carried him on their shoulders. "What gives pervy-sage? I need to go rescue Sakura-chan," Naruto protest,

"Not without me you won't," Sasuke said,

"This is a serious business kid," Jiraya said,

"It is a serious business, for me and my brother," Sasuke said to him as he's dead serious.

Jiraya sighed, "Listen, I can understand this is family business, but this is a serious matter of saving your comrade from an S-rank criminal,"

"Well if anyone is gonna deal with Itachi, it's me," Sasuke protest,

"Look, I don't care who's gonna deal with who, Sakura-chan is in trouble and I need to go rescue her," Naruto said.

"And we will, I already got a plan," Jiraya said, then turned to Sasuke, "You can come, just don't get in our way," Jiraya said,

"I'll stay out of yours, you stay out of mine," Sasuke said as he's about to settle the score.

Racardu and Racarnu helped their brother up, and placed his arms over their shoulders,

"Should we inform Erlu-sensei about this?" Racarnu asked,

"No time, his wounds need to be treated immediately," Racardu said as he, along with his brother disappeared and left the area to take their brother to the hospital.

"You both come with me," Jiraya said as he, Naruto, and Sasuke quickly left the area, in order to save their pink-haired kunoichi.

Somewhere at the mountains, near the village…

"Ugh…" Sakura muttered as she's regaining consciousness, she opened her eyes as she found herself all tied up, and somewhere in the mountains,

"Look who's finally awake," she turned to… Kisame and Itachi as she's being held captive by Itachi and Kisame,

"Don't be alarm little girl, we won't hurt you just yet," Itachi said.

"…You guys won't get away with this… my friends will come for me and they'll…" Sakura said until Kisame interrupted,

"Keep talkin' all you want pinky, that's what we're hoping for, you're the live bait that will lure the fox demon right to us, and there's nothing you can do about it, and, besides, even if your friends come for you, you'll be dead if they ever show up," he said with an evil smirk. Sakura glare at him and clenched both her hands, then…

"Hm…" Itachi respond as something caught his eye, he spotted… a red crystal on a diamond-shape silver necklace around Sakura's neck,

"Hn," he said as he reached over and held the necklace,

"Keep your hands off it," she yelled, but Itachi ignored her as he…

Rip!

He ripped off her necklace.

"Give it back," she yelled but he still ignore her as he's observing the crystal,

"This is an interesting mineral, unlike anything I ever seen," he said, then turned to Sakura,

"Where did you get this?" he asked,

"Like I'll tell an S-rank criminal about it," Sakura said, Itachi crooked his eye-brow then turned his back on her.

"I said give it ba--" Kisame struck his sword in front of her,

"Shut your mouth, or I'll have to break your arms, your legs, and that pretty little face of yours if you don't do as we say," he threaten her, then turned to Itachi.

"You think he'll come?" Kisame asked, Itachi was staring at the crystal for a moment… then covered it in his grasp,

"He'll come," he answered, Sakura on the other is more worried of what they'll do to Naruto… or her. She tilted her head down with guilt as it's her fault she got herself captured, and putting Naruto in danger,

"I don't know what to do," she thought as she's being hopeless.

Somewhere in the village…

Kom and Erlu are walking together, hoping to find the Ichiba brothers or Sarla, until… Kom suddenly frost as her sensory occurred to her.

"What's the matter?" Erlu asked,

"Something doesn't feel right… I'm sensing trouble," Kom answered, Erlu can tell if there's trouble, it either involves her students… or Sarla.

To be continued…

Sorry for the wait for this story, I was about to post the third or fourth story, but I think you guys waited long enough for this. I would have updated this the other day but my hands got tied doing a lot, and I mean a lot of essays and articles for biology. All thanks to the wicked witch of the lab, it's her first time this semester and I already don't like her. But I rather not talk about it, since I have other chapters such as this to update. So please review, thanks. Babykat out!
