Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, if I did, this would be the most intense episode of all...

"If you mastered the Makekyo Sharingan little brother, the number of people using it would level at three…"

Sasuke stood beside his clan's grave, remembering what his brother Itachi told him. It's been 2 years since the Uchiha brothers last met. During that time Sasuke had not mastered the Sharingan fully that even his 'Chidori' couldn't even leave a scar on Itachi. But with constant training and the recent battle against teammate Uzumaki Naruto, he finally unleashed and mastered his bloodline technique. After that battle against the Akatsuki clan at Mt.Fujiwama, Sasuke had to find out the third member who possessed the Makekyo Sharingan…

"Sasuke-kun, Kakashi sensei wants us to meet at the academy. Hurry up ok?" Sakura told him as he got up and followed. Somehow he sensed that there was someone watching him...

"Ah yes, the three of you are all here. Today we have a mission and that is to escort Gaara back to the Sand village. I'll go get him now." At the outskirts of Konoha, two Akatsuki members were watching from afar. "So he is still alive. This will really put him to the test. I will deal with him myself. We'll proceed according to plan. My deepest sympathy for Kisame…" As Sasuke and the crew went to pick up Gaara, he sensed Itachi was nearby. He told Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, I sense Itachi is back, I just know it."

"Really? Alright, you three escort Gaara back while I report this to the Hokage." Naruto than turned his attention to Sasuke. "Hey Sasuke-kun, are you sure this is not one of your tricks to lure me and you away to have another duel?" Sasuke than replied. "If I wanted a duel with you Naruto, I would have told you in the face."

"Why You…" As Naruto was fuming with rage, Sakura stopped the both of them. "Come on guys, this isn't the time to pick a fight. Let's get going."
