Naruto and co. are +Anima. They later meet Cooro and Co. All are being hunted by Sasuke and co. who work for the government, and Orochimaru and co. who are all evil and hidden (no-one knows they're even involved) . The group are hunted by the government because they are +Anima, but what if some of the people on their side are also +Anima?

"I have a very pretty fish that got caught in my net..."

"This is a circus, not a fish market!"

Six-year old eyes watched the scene with interest from amidst the darkness. Maybe he could steal the fish when their backs were turned? He was definately hungry enough. He could cook it on a fire. But lighting a fire would be bad. They would find him. Then he would be like the fish, he mused. Caught, with no chance of escape, to later be hurt, most definately killed.

Or maybe not. He wasn't sure what happened after he got mad at them, it could've been anything.

"What?! This is no fish! It's a baby! ...And it's dead!"

The boys ears twitched. A baby? What?!?!

"Do not worry. He is very much alive."

A small, scaly hand protruded from the water. The crimson-orbs widened and filled with hope. Someone like him! Someone like him...

As quickly as his hope rose, it plummeted. No-one was like him... no-one was a monster. He was still alone. Still alone...

He twisted on his heel and ran swiftly through the night, the same thought spinning through his tired mind.

No-one... no-one...

Uchiha Itachi was the boss.

If Sasuke was not Sasuke, he would've pouted.

Itachi this, Itachi that; his parents had been the same. They only loved Itachi. Itachi the good one, Itachi the intelligent, Itachi the prodigy. Stupid Itachi!

Sasuke was currently in his brothers office, glaring across the desk, not at his brother, but at the wooden plaque that said "Leitenant(sp?) Uchiha". He wanted his name on that stupid meddling wooden plaque! Well, technically it was exactly the same as it would've been if he were boss, but-

"Sasuke," Itachi's calm, oceanic voice broke like a wave through his mutiny-filled thoughts. He looked up and tried to stop his eye from twitching. The calm globes of crimson and black drilled holes in his skull.

"Yes nii-san?" He answered stiffly. His brother insisted he be called nii-san, instead of the usual 'Uchiha-Sama' he should've used, as second-in command.

"I've just received a letter from Ren-jii." Technically he should've said Mukai-Dono, or at least Ren-jii-Dono, but the two had been friends, or acquaintances, so long he didn't bother. He was second-to-Dono, the head of battle, economy, foreign relations and everything else.

"... Any questions?" Sasuke blinked. It seemed like he should've been paying attention. A sigh told him his brother had known he wasn't paying mind.

His brother smirked, seemingly knowing his dilemma. "We have a new ... Project." This angered Sasuke. He knew that! He also knew his brother knew this, and was just being mean, childish as it sounded. His stupid nii-san was toying with him! Stupid!

"... +Anima hunt." Sasuke's eyes twitched. His brother was doing it on purpose! Giving him something to think about and telling him important while he was distracted. And-

The full force of what Itachi just said hit him. +Anima hunt?

"...Travel in a pack." From what he gathered, they were going to go stop a group who traveled in a pack and hunted +Anima. He didn't want to help them though. They killed his family, they were beasts of hell the lot of them! And-

"So, mind going to tell the others of the new project?"

Sasuke's eye twitched. Crazy nii-san! He did this on purpose. Sasuke suddenly smirked. The thing was, they were both Uchiha's. So they could both play dirty.

"We're hunting a group who seem to chase down and kill +Anima and arrest them. It will be a long-term trip so we should pack clothing. Warm clothing." Oh, he was good. So, so good. And hot. And mysterious. In fact, he was The Sasuke Uchiha. " 'Cause we'll be traveling through mountains. and because we will faced dangers it will be a large group, with everyone; Temari, Kankuro, Shikamaru, Sakura, Neji, Shino, Sakura Tenten, Kakashi, Gai, Kurenai, Asuma-"

Sasuke stopped speaking when he saw his brothers look; one eyebrow raised, hands in cliche-ed evil-pose position. He had that special glare that only Uchiha's could achieve, too; their eyes seemed to burn into you, and they seem to smirk, but they don't really move at all. Scary.

What he next said threw Sasuke off-guard. "Congratulations little brother." Sasuke's eyes widened. Congratulations? Itachi was congratulating him Whhaaaah- "You seem to be able to at leat attempt to lie well enough. Though what you said was completely wrong."

Sasukes InnerSelf's face fell. That was mean.

"We're hunting a group of +Anima and arrest them. It will be a medium-length mission, one month, we should pack a few changes of clothing only because we will not be able to stay in hotels and the like, and we're traveling on foot. The clothing should not be to heavy because the temperature will be quite humid to slightly dry and over-heated. We will travel through forest and farm-land and the trip will be of low, if not non-existent, danger. But you were right about one thing; well need a full group, the +Anima group is quite large. So keep practicing your lies and humility, Otouto. And go tell everyone of the mission. Goodbye now."

Sasuke turned and strutted out the door, eye switching at record-breaking speed. He was just stepping out when the (melodic, not that he'd admit it) voice of his older brother. "Oh, and Sasuke?"

Hand on the mahogany door frame to keep his balance, he turned, face showing signs of irritation only his brother could spot. "Hn?"

His brother smirked, and a sudden feeling of dread filled Sasuke. "This trip... interests me. So... I shall join you."

Sasuke was an Uchiha; Uchiha's are calm and accepting. Sasuke is, as is expected of an Uchiha, calm sand accepting.

That's why said Uchiha chose to shout at the top of his lungs, suddenly slap himself in the face to stop the shrill sound, and prompty start beating himself over the head with the small wooden triangular prism that had his brothers name engraved on a metal plate stuck to it, in stead of going with the initial plan to beat his brother over the head with said prism.

So, ya like it? This' just intoducing Sasu-chan and 'Tachi-chan. The other's will come later.

Also, I'm unsure of pairings. I know I want ItaGaa, and maybe Sasunaru, and maybe InoSaku, or InoHina (If so I'll move Hinata to the other side) (1st Yuri Fanfic), and KakaIru's always a possibility, but the others? Also, if you want me to add in a charrie, just ask and tell me which side (I might change the side, though). Also, Temari and Kankuro are on the other side for a reason. And you think I should put Hina-chan on Sasuke and Itachi and so on's side? You know, the cute little stutterer who sits in the backround and sometimes does the really important stuff? My storyline could go either way.
