Alright… here we are… chapter three…

Let's get to the reviews.

Honorwolf1: "You're getting pretty clever with the story. I look forward to the next chapter; this story is defiantly a win."

Thanks! I haven't been known to be a clever person, but here's the next chapter anyway, so I hope you like it!

Oh and did you mean "definitely"?

X-ShikaTemaLuv-X: "I like how you added in a team nine; me and my sis noticed that there wasn't any team nine mentioned too. It's a good addition. I like the development of the fic so far =) Oh and you know how Naruko is like Naruto but female so she essentially replaces him? Well, does Hinata like anyone in this story? If you don't mind me asking for a sorta spoiler. Thanks (:"

Haha, yeah! Thanks for the review.

Um, well… I forgot all about Hinata. Interesting as it may be, Hinata likes Sasuke, but not in the same way as Sakura or Ino. She stalks from afar (lol) and dodges all contact with him (like she did with Naruto).

Oh and, Naruko is actually friends with Hinata, so I could make some more scenes with them and stuff so the bond between dimensions doesn't really break.

Thanks!

busty-beauty solar girl: "Nice second chapter. I like the part when Sasuke told Sakura to move so Naruko could sit; Sakura is my least favorite character. If the Massacre hasn't happen yet then Sasuke would be affected more wouldn't he? Anyways keep it up looking forward to the next chapter."

I know I keep saying this, but thanks! Sorry about the confusion, but it was Ino who was told to move instead of Sakura… so yeah.

Also, I didn't quite understand the question "If the Massacre hasn't happen yet then Sasuke would be affected more wouldn't he?"

I think he would be happier, actually; he'd probably be less brooding then if he has a family and stuff then if his family got killed. I think I get your logic… he probably would be more affected since he's the opposite of what he is in the canon. Get my logic?

Now one more thing to all of my fans… I'm sorry about my story's next chapter coming in so late; it's just that I that I've been busy. I hope you all would still like to read this.

On with the story!

As Sasuke and I sat upon one of the benches outside, we pulled out our lunches, exchanged smiles and eventually I spoke up.

"... Hey, Sasuke... do you think... I'm a good enough ninja? You know, to pass our sensei's test?" I said nervously, and with the beginning of the conversation, we didn't start eating.

"Haha, I think so. Why?" he said indecently. He laughed at me to, which made me glare at the fool.

As me and Sasuke sat, I stared at Sakura who was on the bench right across from us, alone. Sakura never had any friends, but at least Sasuke tried to be her friend, though I never paid any mind to her. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her... you know, to be alone at school with no one caring enough to give her their time. Trust me... I know how that feels. Sakura saw me staring and threw me a nasty glare. I looked back to Sasuke.

"Come on Sasuke; be serious with me." I said, "I don't know if I can do this, so that's why I'm asking you. Pretty please."

"I don't know why you're so worried." said Sasuke irritably, "This test is for all three of us; if they really wanted to fail us, we'd have to work terrible as a team, right?"

"Yeah!" I said.

"We all know each other, and the only problem I see is that Sakura won't get along with you. Just try to get along with her and we'll probably pass. Okay?" he sighed, "There's no way they'll send back any student without their team. If it will make you feel better, I'll to talk to Sakura about this."

"Okay..."

After we ate lunch, I went back inside to sit while Sasuke went to talk to Sakura. I looked out the window to see Sasuke sitting with Sakura, and when I kept watching, they seemed to be enjoying themselves. They didn't seem to notice me staring at them through the window, which was good. Then it came... one big kiss to the lips that held for about seven seconds. I hid my face in my arms the next second. I should have been crying, but my eyes felt dry for some reason... was this right? Or totally wrong? My eyes couldn't decide. I was upset, insincere as it may be, but maybe I wasn't sad that Sasuke cheated on me. I was angry. I had to stand up for myself.

I burst from my seat angrily and trampled out of the classroom. Coming outside I confronted Sasuke and Sakura, who happened to be making out once more. I tore whimsy old Sasuke from Sakura's mouth and dragged him out into the dirt.

"Sasuke!" said Sakura. I threw her a nasty glare.

"Sasuke, there must be a reason why I'm not slapping in the face you right know." I said, "Tell it to me, now."

"Hey... come on now. This is not what it seems." he said nervously.

"Then what is it you back-stabbing jerk?" I said.

"Look. I'm tired of you. You're the—" I stopped him before he could say anything and threw a punch.

"Class~ It's time to go ba-" said Iruka-sensei. Then he looked to the scene. Sasuke was dazed from the blow but still conscious and standing while Sakura and I were having a cat fight for punching Sasuke. Iruka ran over and broke us up.

"What is going on here? Sasuke, can you explain?" said Iruka-sensei. Sasuke didn't answer. Then Iruka-sensei looked to me, now crying.

"Sasuke... I've broke up with him. He cheated on me with Sakura, so now we're through." I said to Iruka-sensei, who only could stand with mouth agape.

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. You have to meet your sensei now... he's already inside." said Iruka-sensei. I went under his arm and walked with him. I looked back to Sasuke and Sakura.

"Come on Sakura, let's go." said Sasuke darkly. However, Sakura walked away with her nose turned up.

(Several hours before...)

"Itachi, you may come in now." said Minato solemly. Itachi was let in by the anbu black-ops member guarding the door.

As the door closed behind Itachi, he sat down, and the conversation between the 4th hokage and the new leader of Uchiha clan commenced. "What's your status, Itachi?"

"I've obviously gained father's trust. In that, I've been dubbed Leader of the Uchiha Clan." he said, he sighed. "But things look chaotic. My family has been planning to lay siege to Konoha... and their looking to kill you, and your daughter. Their agenda looks very bleak."

"I... I see." said Minato, "I see their motives in killing me and my daughter. This is indeed, very bleak."

"So there is no hope, then." said Itachi. "So when should I—?"

Minato sharply cut in. "It is I that will carry out the business." he said, straightening papers and laying them on his desk. "I want you to go into protection, you and your brother. You'll keep your first names, but your last names will be changed. As for the murderers, leave that to me."

Itachi's eyes grew wide. "But Hokage-sama... why you? There's no reason to—"

"Your family is a threat to my village. There is not any choice now but to kill them myself. No one will dirty their hands for the sake of the village." said Minato.

"I would, but if you are set on it, then I will go with it." said Itachi.

"Agreed."

"Dad?" I questioned the blond man that was sitting in my desk seat. Sakura, Sasuke and I made sure we got off to a good start by deciding that we all hate each other. When my dad saw all our scowls he started to frown as well.

"Oh, sweetie... I've been thinking it's time for me to retire," he said, "So I've been thinking I'll be your sensei from now on. How's that?"

Literally every eye in the classroom was on the former Hokage. My classmates whispered something like this.

"He's not the Hokage anymore? Who is?"

"Oh my god... I can't believe this..."

I honestly thought it was expected of the Hokage to retire, but apparently that's not so. "Just why are you doing that?" I asked.

"It's not your concern. It's now my job to protect you at all costs." he said seriously. Protect me? Why?

"Why—" I said, but I was cut off by my father putting his hand on my lips. "Shh. I'll tell you later..." he said. For some reason he was looking at a scowling Sasuke. I looked at him to for a brief second, but out of the corner of my eye I saw that my dad looked away. I did as well.

"Minato-sensei. When are we going to start our test?" said Sakura.

"Much later. Right now, let's go up on the roof and get to know each other." said my dad.

Sup. Well, as always, review 3 reviews and I'll continue, no trolls, and tell me if something is wrong with my fanfiction. Thanks!
