Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any candy in that case.

"Well? What are you still doing here? GO!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Kakashi Sensei.

"B-But why does she need to see me?" asked the confused Sasuke.

"How in the world am I supposed to know!?! Now, get out of here!" repeated the annoyed Sensei. Sasuke shrugged and replied, "You don't have to tell me twice."

"Yeah, cuz' its obviously three times! Now, for the final time, LEAVE!!!!"

Sasuke turned and began a steady jog back to the village. Kakashi sighed very deeply and pulled out his perverted book. Naruto came up to his Sensei and asked him on hands and knees, "Since Sasuke is gone, can I get the day off?"

"No, Naruto." replied Kakashi, not leaving his focus of the book.

"Well, what about Chidori? Could ya' teach me how to do that?"

"Naruto, you know Rasengan, which is in fact more powerful than the Lightning Blade. (another name for Chidori) Now just leave me alone and start 500 laps around this training ground"

"Aww Man!"

Nearby, Sakura was laughing at Naruto as he solemnly started his laps. Kakashi appeared behind Sakura and said to her, "You may join him, Miss Haruno."

Now, it was Naruto's turn to laugh.

After already passing the ramen shop about 50 times, Sasuke gave up on his search for Tsunade. He sat on a nearby bench to catch his breath. The last place he needed to look was the Hokage Mountainside. Now, instead of jogging, Sasuke went there at a fare walking pace. He honestly thought it was pointless and didn't care, but if Lady Tsunade needs to see them: they come.(Well she is the fifth Hokage.)

As soon as he got up the last step, to the top, a woman wearing a black and white shirt, dark capris, and a thin light-green coat, spoke to the tired Sasuke, "Well, took your sweet time, didn't you Uchiha?"

"I was looking for you all over the freakin' village, Tsunade!" yelled the raven-haired teen to the old blonde sannin. He glared at her.

"You did not have to do that, I was here the whole time."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and crossed his bandaged arms (its a style). Tsunade grinned at him and thought, 'Teenagers are very rude at this age, oh well.'

Aloud she said, "Hopefully, this will change your mood: you have a visitor."

"Really..." he responded, with a lack of interest in his voice. He looked at the ground. Sasuke thought to himself, ' I haven't had any visitors ever since this dreaded curse mark. It must be a prank.' He uncrossed his arms and rubbed the curse mark, on the back of his neck. It left a very faint pain of where Orochimaru sunk his teeth in. That curse mark was the only thing thing that separated him from the light side.(A/N: I like refering to a 'light' and 'dark' side, and unfortunatly Sasuke is on the dark side.) Rubbing the other side of his neck, he asked, "Who is it?"

"If you escort me to the main gate, I will tell you who it is."

Sasuke took one of the deepest breaths ever and calmly said,"Fine..."

"Good! Now, if you just follow me and ask the first question." Sasuke obediently followed her down the steps and began the walk that would forever influence his life.

It was mid-afternoon on the rolling seas. Itachi and Kisame were near the front of the ship. As the Shark-man rolled his sword up in white strips of cloth, Itachi was staring at the ocean in front of them. He used his Mangekyou Sharingan to look ahead at the approaching Land of Stone. Itachi turned his head to Kisame and asked, bitterly regretting, "What were you dreaming about, Kisame?"

Kisame stopped and looked at him saying,"Trying to kill time, eh? Alright, I was dreaming about blah blah blah blah. Blah blah...etc...etc...etc."

'Sorry I asked,' he thought. Itachi diverted his attention from the Blahing-fool and heard the captain saying,"Yar, land be awaitin' in a few 'ours. Be prepared to stop soon, mates!"

"Aye, Cap'n!" shouted the relieved crew.

Kisame finally stopped talking. Itachi took advantage of this moment to say, "Kisame, I never told you about our family secret..."
