Disclamer: I do not own Naruto or any characters.
Chapter 2
Sakura was exhausted, but she had made it to the Land of Fire's port in less than 2 days so she was happy. She had stopped half way there to use genjutsu to change her appearance. Her pink hair changed to solid black, and her eyes went from bright green to onyx. Happy with the change she continued on her way. When Sakura was finally on the boat she took a room, sealed it with genjutsu, and she slept not knowing that she had been spotted. Waking up 1 hour later Sakura took in her surroundings. She was in the Land of Water. Walking off the boat she immediately went in search of a place to eat. After a few minutes she decided to stop at a ramen stand, regrettably it was the only thing that looked decent here thinking of how many times Naruto had dragged her to Ichiraku.
After finishing her lunch it was nightfall so Sakura headed to an inn to rest up before her mission started tomorrow. While walking to the inn she felt a rather large chakra source behind her. She couldn't quite figure it out so she detoured to the woods behind the inn so she could take care of this problem and sleep. She stopped when she heard a familiar voice. It was none other than Itachi Uchiha, heir to the clan he murdered one night long ago.
"You are a long way from home Haruno of the leaf village."
Itachi had a voice like chocolate and she had to stop herself from shivering. What was wrong with her? Although she no longer loved Sasuke as anything other than a brother she was not into the serial killer thing. Still in her head she heard him move closer to her so she turned around. She had to look at his feet so as not to be caught by his sharingan. She remembered what it had done to Sasuke and Kakashi when they fought him and started thinking of how she was going to get out of this alive. Disrupting her thoughts he said "Do not make me repeat myself."
"Just attack already." Crap did I really just tell Itachi Uchiha to attack me, what should I say. Too late he was already casting a genjutsu on her which she promptly released with kai. She lunged forward with her chakra enhanced fist and his right through his clone. Damn he was really fast, she tries to dodge out of the way but he kicks her off balance. She quickly gets up and lunges again and when he moved to avoid she kneed him in the stomach. She discovered that this was yet another clone. Where could he be? He then came from above and she blocked his blow breaking her wrist on her left hand. He kicked her ankle knocking her backwards and then punched her in the stomach. She quickly made the hand symbols for a clone to swap with. While Itachi is looking at her clone Sakura comes up behind him, cloaking what little charka she has left, and gathered the remaining chakra her right fist. She punches him hard fracturing at minimum 3 ribs.
Happy with herself she finds a hiding spot and assesses the damage done to her. She is going to need a healer to look at her to fix her wrist. Looking at him from her spot in the trees he has a slight hitch to his breath and is angry. Sakura feels a light tapping her on the shoulder and it forces her to look in Itachi's eyes. This is all he needed to capture her with the Mangekyo Sharingan. He feels Kisame behind him and hands him the girl. Kisame takes one look at Itachi and laughs. "You got bested by this brat."
Saying nothing Itachi looks at the girl. He knows that she broke 4 of his ribs and anger runs through him. He hasn't been hit in such a long time that both the pain and his emotion is foreign to him. All of a sudden she cries out in pain and blood runs from her nose and her mouth. Smirking on the inside he knows she is still trapped in his world. Shortly after her breathing evens out and he hears her whisper kai he can hardly keep the surprise out of his eyes. Nobody can break my jutsu, he thinks to himself.
Kisame looks down and asks, "Did she just break out of your Mangekyo, Leader will want to know about this."
Ignoring the urge to rub his side Itachi gives the slightest of nods to Kisame and keeps walking; they are heading back to the inn they are staying at.
