Chapter 1 THE CHALLENGE

Monday (December 14, 10am)

Dear: Uchiha-san & Kakashi-san

You may not believe the content of this letter. But I advise that you do not ignore this warning. 3 days after receiving this letter, death shall befall seven (7) deadly shinobis from all aspect of life and clan. And I shall devour their carcasses. I challenge you to stop this madness of mine, this sickness that has been plaguing me. I am a mad man seeking your service to stop my nature to kill and desire to devour the innocent.

Lovingly yours,

SHINIGAMI-SAMA

"Well Uchiha-aniki and Uchiha-ototo, who do you think Shinigami-sama is addressing?" Kakashi asked nonchantly. Sasuke frowned and pointed at the older Uchiha. "I do not have time for this prank, I have better things to do" Sasuke muttered. "Do? Like Naruto-kun perhaps?" Kakashi suggestively said to the younger Uchiha.

"Kakashi-sensei, your just jealous, dumb sensei" Sasuke muttered heading toward the door.

"You should not embarrass him like that, Kakashi-san. He's been through a lot. What do you think of this latest development?" Itachi asked. "We should keep this under wraps for the meantime. It would not do for innocent civilians to panic this early on." Kakashi then turned to Itachi and said "You've grown soft, Itachi."

And before Itachi could answer, the jounin disappeared with a thick layer of smoke. "Soft eh?"

"Aniki, would you ever hate me?"

"Baka, ototo what kind of question is that?"

"I think I am in love with…."

"Sasuke, I don't care who you choose. I will always accept anyone that you love"

"Aniki!"

"You are my cute ototo, are you not?" *poke to the forehead*

"Stop it! I'm not a baby" *blush*

"I'll tell you when I'm ready okay?"

"Okay Sasuke, you can tell me anytime that you love Uzumaki Naruto"

"W-w-what?"

"Hokage-sama, With regard to the new assignment. It is being handled by the Uchiha Police Force" Kakashi explained.

" Keep this quiet, I don't want anyone to know about this. I'll ask the Anbu to report to you and Itachi directly. Have the letter be sent to Shikamaru for analysis. I expect a report tomorrow morning" Tsunade said.

"Hai, Hokage-sama"

"So Sasu-teme, what's with your face? So broody in the morning. I don't know why I go out with you" Naruto sighed.

Sasuke glared at the blonde. " Nothing dobe."

"Dumb bastard, think he's so high and almighty, sitting on the clouds with chirping birds all over. Thinks he's the man in this relationship. That's why he's name is Sas-UKE" Naruto muttered while eating his Ramen.

"That's not what you were shouting out-loud last night, dobe-chan" Sasuke smirked and licked Naruto's earlobe.

Naruto spitted his half eaten Ramen out while coughing right next to an innocent bystander. " Y-you, teme!! Have you no shame?"

"Only when it comes to you Naru-chan. Only you" Sasuke softly says while looking at the blushing blonde.

Naruto, I love you! Is it so hard for you to understand?

What about your dreams? Are you going to throw everything away?

My dream changed when I met you. they spiraled and centered to one crazy dobe

S-sasuke, you'll hate me one day for this

No usarontachi, I'll hate you if you lie to us about your feelings

You teme, how dare you! I'm not like that. It's not normal..

Don't cry, Naruto. I'll leave you alone if it will make you happy. I'll die a thousand deaths for you.

You! Your not Sasuke..Sasuke wouldn't say things like that..

You've ruined me, Naruto. So you have to marry me and be my wife.

Baka! What do you mean wife?! You have to be my boyfriend first.

Okay.

I'll be your boyfriend.

Huh? You tricked me teme

All is fair in love and war. You wont go back on your word. Right? That's your nindo. (A/N way of the ninja)

"Sasuke." Naruto lovingly said. Sasuke was about to kiss the blonde when HE, the bane of his existence coughed and loudly said: "Whoo, it's getting hot in here. Go ahead kids, go naked and roll on the ground"

"KAKASHI-SENSEI!!! What are you doing here?" Naruto exclaimed pointing at the jounin while slowly peeling Sasuke's arms around him. Sasuke frowned and shoved his hands inside his pockets.

" I'm here for Sasuke. His brother is asking for him to return to the base." Kakahi informed the two.

"Why? Did he wet his bed?" Naruto innocently asked.

Sasuke ignored Naruto, and turned to Kakashi with a serious look on his face "This better be good, sensei."

"Of course, Sasu-chan. Itachi wants you to examine the letter with Shikamaru at the station. So no hank-panky tonight. I'm sure Naruto's scream was heard all through-out the streets last night. We REALLY don't want a repeat of that later" Kakashi said with a deadpanned expression.

Naruto blushed and hide behind the stoic Uchiha's back. Sasuke sighed and said to the blonde " I better go now, here's the payment for you food, wife." Sasauke smirked and kissed Naruto quickly before he disappeared.

Naruto blinked innocently and turned to Kakashi who said" Maa, your such a cute, dutiful wife, Naru-chan" before he too disappeared.

"Ha?" Naruto muttered before fully realizing what the Uchiha has said. " WIFE?? TEME-SASUKE, you'll be sleeping on the couch for a week."

At the Uchiha Police Force

"Achoo, Someone must have been talking about me" Sasuke murmured. Shikamaru shrugged lazily and said "Everybody talks about you"

"Now returning to that letter, Shikamaru, what have you got?" Itachi asked.

" Captain, from what I've read, the writer knows you and Kakashi-san. There is a high possibility, that he/she is from Konoha. He/She was able to locate you in-

"Shikamaru, if I may, the letter was mailed. No address was-

"Sasuke, yes I know, that the letter was mailed without the proper address. However, the letter that was used can only be found in Konoha. This is manufactured only by the Yamanaka clan. This is the Ai paper, no finger prints will be found, this I know because Ino wrote you a love letter years ago using the very same one." Shikamaru answered

"Now I know who the writer is.." Sasuke muttered. "There is also a possibility, that an outsider could have infiltrated us without the gate guards detecting them. If so, they might be highly skilled."

"Yes, there's a possibility. Shikamaru, go to the Yamanaka's and ask for the list of the customers that bought the Ai paper." Itachi suggested. He then turned to Sasuke and said, " Go to the gates, and ask for the visitors logbook. I want a list of all possible suspects"

"I want all the list and report summarized before daybreak tomorrow. I've analyzed the letter, and the ink is 2 months old. Start your search 3 months prior."

"Hai, Captain"

"First stop, the Yamanakas" Kakashi said.
