…...

Sasuke knew. That was what I was thinking as we flew through the treetops. He knew that I could use my chakra without hand signs. I was terrified because he still hadn't confronted me with it. I hoped he wouldn't. My memories flicked back to that night for split second but I hardened myself off from my emotions and stared ahead, thinking about the evil things I would do to the Uchiha brat if he told anyone about my signless jutsu. Heheh this was entertaining… I was just in the middle of freezing off Sasuke's-*cough* when a shuriken flipped past my face and embedded itself in the tree across from me.

Everyone froze and we stared in the bush. We had planned to keep travelling. Stopping to fight wasn't part of the plan, nor could our time limit afford it. These ninja can't have been very low rank if they could manage to narrowly avoid hitting me with a shuriken while I was running.

The trees across the path were dark like midnight and Naruto growled, "Come out and fight!" There was no reply, only silence and the very faint sound of retreating footsteps. "We have to leave," Sasuke started. I glared into the trees and unsheathed my sharingan from its depths. I could see a faint group of cloaked figures heading into the far side of the forest to hide, as I figured. I sent a shuriken after them and saw it flick through the trees. I held my breath and let out a smile as a cloaked figure near the back shrunk down off the branches and the others halted for a minute to help their comrade.

I was pretty sure I had struck them in the back which would hold them up a while at least. Naruto with eyes wide went running straight for the tree line to attack them. I saw them just as he reached the trees and swiped my special kunai at him with much reluctance. Sasuke gasped and went to deflect it but I stopped him with a flick of my fingers, freezing his hand to his knife. Naruto turned too late and kunai ripped through the back of his arm, pinning him to the tree nearby. He slumped down.

Sakura meanwhile had made her way to Naruto, and Sasuke had used his iced kunai hand to corner me against a trunk… stupid Uchiha. They all turned to stare at me bewilderedly including Naruto who had woken up out of his daze. They looked betrayed and I let out a slight laugh at their ignorance. I pointed to the glint that shimmered barely visible in the darkness. Cutting wires… they turned to me relieved, I had saved Naruto from a certain death trap. I pushed Sasuke's kunai away from my throat. (This was the second time he had held a knife to my throat and I had known him barely 3 days ) I gave him a 'one-more-time-and-I-will-actually-kill-you!' look. He shrugged, gave me a quick wink and then looked down at his frozen hand and knife and then back at me knowingly. I didn't bother doing and fake hand signs because he already saw me control my chakra without them. I melted away the ice and it evaporated into steam. My eyes were still in sharingan mode which helped because I needed them prominent to be able to control my chakra for some reason.

Uchiha's eyes widened slightly after seeing me perform my jutsu willingly in front of him without hesitation. But his composure came back to him and after giving me a thank you glance he leapt over to tend to Naruto's arm. Bugger. I hadn't actually meant to hit him. I gave him an apologetic smile and noticed he was mesmerized with my grandmother's gem that hung from my kunai knife. I held his shoulder firmly and said sorry before whipping my knife out of his arm and cutting the wires down in one quick motion. He grimaced. I didn't want Naruto of all people getting into my personal life. I focused my violet sharingan on the team of cloaked ninja in the distance. The injured one seemed to be a female by the look of her long blonde ponytail and the others 2 were still hidden beneath their large hats. Sasuke had his sharingan focused on them, same as me. His face was contorted in a horrific sneer at the hidden face of a 4th member that sulked almost at the back. I noticed his hair at first, longish and as far as I could tell with my sharingan it was midnight black. It spiked at the back ever so slightly less than Sasuke's did- I gulped. It was him.

It had been a rainy week. The storm clouds billowed in from the rain nation and it was no condition for snow or ice which was unfortunate for Sasha as she was currently face to face with a ninja she had stumbled into who seemed to be running out of the hidden leaf village. It was a high class ninja and by the look of his red eyes, he was an Uchiha. They were a very strong and noble bloodline that lived only in the leaf village. I wondered why he was running away in such a rush, tears were streaming down his face over two faint scars that ran from his tear ducts to the middle of his cheeks. I didn't recognize him. He had just smacked into me as I walked along the road and when he stood closer, that was when I saw the blood that coated his clothes, his hands and his face even.

It was all over him. He shoved me away from him and tried to get past me but I refused and stood my ground. I was only 12 and he looked about 17 or 18 but even so he withdrew a large blood covered blade and with lightning speed slashed out at me. I had 4 years of practice since my first kill, honing my jutsu to the fullest potential I could manage, I was good. I jumped to the side just a bit slow as fire erupted across my back. My adrenaline kicked in and my own violet sharingan burst forth and I remembered the other times I had fought since the first night I had killed that man. I raised my arms into the air as he threw 3 shuriken in quick succession, dodging each one I focused my eyes into his body and found the water within. It was the first time I had tried to freeze the water inside a body and it had worked well other than the huge cut it took from my chakra.

As he grimaced at the cold shock spreading through his veins, a few thumps sounded behind me. "Hey Itachi! Getting beaten by a little girlie? For Jashin's sake!" A voice came from the shadows as a bluish man stepped forward followed by 2 others. The red head behind him growled, "Hurry up and let's get back to base. This is taking too long. We have been waiting for you a long time Itachi." The third ninja was dressed in a black cloak with red clouds and large straw hat that brimmed down over his eyes. The only thing I could see was an orange, swirly mask and black hair, "Yeah we get it Pein-chan!" he growled. Another voice, "Get it over with," muttered the blue guy again. It was the Akatsuki. I braced myself and flicked out my kunai to protect myself only to see Itachi's eyes lock on mine. They widened only slightly at my sharingan appearance before my minds walls were crushed to a powder and I was under his genjutsu in a small dark room. Before I could use my sharingan to break out of it there was an adjourning slash of pain across my back forming an x and then I woke up on the empty road hours later.

The scars on my back gave a twitch of recognition at the blade on Itachi's back. Sasuke zoomed into the trees after his brother. It was only after that night that I found out about the slaughter of the Uchiha clan. I took off after Sasuke and came up along beside him. He looked at me, confused.

Normally people would try to stop him I guess, but not me. I was with him all the way. The Itachi son of a bitch was going to die! I gave him a nod of approval, "I have some unfinished business with him too," I growled pulling the neck of my jacket down slightly at the back to reveal the top of the puckered scar Itachi had bestowed upon my skin, with an evil, humorless smile. Sasuke's sharingan eyes hardened at the sight. He gave me a smirk and chucked a few extra shuriken over to me.

The cloaked figures jumped up as we approached, both of us glaring at them with our sharingan eyes. The injured one at a closer glance wasn't in fact a girl but just a cute young guy with long blonde hair swept into a high pony tail with a large fringe covering half his face. He winced, half closing one eye and glancing at the shuriken I had embedded in his shoulder. He gave me a glare, "You the one that got me, yeah?" he squinted out from under his yellow flop of hair.

He was bleeding heavily down his back, soaking the cloak. Sasuke coughed and I turned my attention back to Itachi who was being heavily guarded by fish guy and a white haired guy that I remembered talking about Jashin something those many years ago. Pity I still couldn't remember my father's face, I grumbled. Sasuke was staring his brother down with a look of pure black hatred, his kunai held at elbow height across in front of him. Itachi however kept his cool gaze off him but was staring blankly at me. I felt a cold shiver run down my spine across the two scars, anticipating Itachi's blades. "It's been a long time, Sasha Uchiha." He spoke with a sly smile spreading across his face. "Uchiha?"
