Chapter 6

"Encounter: Itachi Uchiha"

"Ahhh!" Someone grosaned. "D-damn it... I-I wasn't strong enough..." the voice said. "Neji!" Ino screamed. "Oh... just a dream..." Ino gasped. "Ino! Are you ok!? I heard you screaming" Inoichi asked. "Sorry dad, just a bad dream..." Ino said in a low voice. "What's wrong baby girl?" "I had a bad dream..." "about what?" "...Neji..." "i'm sure he's going to be ok, he is Neji Hyuga after all" Inoichi said trying to make her smile. "You're right!" 'I hope...' Ino thought to herself. "I'm sure he's doing fine sweet heart" Inoichi gave Ino a small smile and walked away. "I promise i'll come back, I won't fail not as long as I have you Ino, Ilove you so much" She remembered all the things Neji had said to her yesterday night. She smiled, but she was still worried.

"We're almost at the border of the Hidden Grass Village, but still a long way to go" Fox said. "Captain" Neji said. "I know" he replied. "Everyone on your guard" Fox said. They all nodded. A thousand kunai came from above them, the left of them, the right of them, and behind them. "Everyone get close" Neji commanded. "Why?! We're gonna die here!" Rat said. "Not on my watch, get close hurry!" Neji yelled. They all did as he said. "Rotation!" Neji deflected all the kunai. "No one dies as long as i'm here" Neji smirked. Fox looked at Neji and smiled behind his mask. "What are the Leaf's ANBU doing near the Hiddne Grass's border?" A strange voice called out. "This has nothing to do with the Hidden Grass, we're simply going to the Hidden Waterfall Village" Fox told the voice. "The Hidden Water Village huh?" The Grass ninja asked. "Would be a shame if you all died here" he continued "and also-... what the... when did you..." "we have no time for distractions, die!" Neji stabbed him with the sword. "Aghhh" "Falcon! When did you? How did you?" Bear asked. "It was easy, the guy was only a Chunin" Neji explained. "All the other ones were clones, I just had to take out the real one" "very well lets go" Fox said. They nodded.

"Ahh! That's the best ramen ever!" Naruto said sluroing down his ramen. "I guess" Sasuke said. "Fianlly tomorrw I get my first mission, well I also get to meet my sensei but yeah" Naruto said. "Yeah, tell me about it I haven't had a mission in months" Sasuke agreed. "Soooo Sasuke, you and Sakura you know" Naruto winked. "Shut up you dobe!" Sasuke yelled. "Oh so you have?" Naruto laughed. "Well, not yet..." "ohhhh yet?" Naruto laughed again. "Yeah Sasuke yet?" Sakura's voice was behind them. "Oh! Uh h-hi S-sakura" Sasuke said with his eyes opened wide. "So what are you guys talking about hmm?" Sakura asked looking at Sasuke. "Oh uh it was nothing really Sakura" Naruto explained. "Yeah it was nothing" Sasuke agreed. "Hmmmm" Sakura wondered. 'Phew' Naruto and Sasuke both thought. "Anyways, what are you doing here Sakura?" Naruto asked. "I was just wondering by then I over heard Sasuke and you talking, so I came here" Sakura explained. 'Gulp' "you didn't happen to hear out conversation... by any chance?" Naruto asked. "Oh nope nothing... hey Sasuke?" "Y-yeah Sakura?" Sasuke asked. "Can't wait for tonight" Sakura smiled. "What's to night?" "You know, it" Sakura winked. Naruto was making thumbs up signs beind Sakura's back. 'Get it bro!' He thought to himself. "It?" Sasuke asked. "Yes silly it" "oh ok" Sasuke agreed. "See you tonight Sasuke" Sakura gave him a kiss and left. "Ahh man! Get it Sasuke!" Naruto said giving Sasuke a high five. "I don't even know what just happened" Sasuke said. "Isn't it obvious?" Naruto said. Sasuke shook his head. "Come closer" Naruto said "you're gonna get laid" Naruto whispered.

"W-what!? Are you sure?!" Sasuke yelled. "Oh trust me, i'm positive" Naruto responded. "Oh shit! I'm lucky" "Yes you are Sasuke". 'Ha I probably left Sasuke wondering, i'm so mean but he's so cute when he doesn't know what's going on' Sakura thought to herself. "Oh hey Ino" Sakura shouted. "Huh? Oh hey Sakura" Ino said feeling depressed. "Are you ok Ino?" "Yeah why wouldn't I be?" "Well, you look kind of down... is there something bothering you?" "No" "well if there's anything I can do to help just call me, we are friends after all" "ok Sakura I will" "bye Ino" "bye Saku- wait" "Huh?" "Sakura I have to tell you something, but lets go to the dumpling store" Ino suggested. "Oh, ok" Sakura agreed. "What did you want to tell me?" Sakura asked curiously. "Well... me and Neji... had sex..." she whsipered.

"A...achu!" Neji sneezed. "You catching a cold there?" Bear asked. "No it just came out of no where" Neji said. "Looks like someone is talking about you" Cat joked. They all laughed. "C'mon lets keep moving" Fox said. "Right!" They all said.

"YOU AND NEJI DID WHAT?!" Sakura yelled. "Shhhh! Keep it down!" Ino told her. "U-um Sakura, Ino?" Hinata asked. "Huh? Oh Hinata hey!" Sakura greeted her. "H-hi girls, what are you guys talking about?" Hinata asked. "Oh well you see..." Ino said. Sakura leaned over to Hinata and whispered. "Neji and Ino had sex...". "WHAT!? YOU GUYS DID WHAT!?" Hinata nearly fainted. "Shhhhhh! Not so loud!" Ino warned. "When did this happen Ino?" Sakura asked. "Last night..." Ino answered. "Where is he now?" Hinata asked. "On an ANBU mission" Ino replied. "What? Already?" Sakura asked surprised. "When is he coming back?" "About 2 months" "2 months? That's terrible!" Sakura replied. "I know..." Ino said in a low voice. "He'll be ok Ino, Neji is very strong" Hinata said. "Thanks Hinata" Ino said with a smile. "Yeah, Neji is strong, don't worry about him he'll be just fine we promise you that Ino" Sakura added with a smile. "Thanks Sakura" "C'mon girls, lets go do something" Sakura suggested. "Ok" Hinata agreed. "Yea- ow" Ino said. "What's wrong Ino?" Sakura asked. "My stomach hurts, really bad" "We should take her to the hospital" Hinata suggested. "Yeah c'mon Ino let me help you up" "thanks Sakura"

"Excuse us we need a doctor" Sakura asked a lady at the front desk. "What's the matter?" The lady asked. "Her stomach started hurting really bad out of no where" Sakura explained. "That is troublesome, please go to room 119, a doctor will be with you shortly" "thank you" they all said. "Hello, i'm the doctor i'm here for Ino Yamanaka" the doctor said. "That's me" "what seems to be the problem?" "Well it all started from this morning, I had a stomach ache for a while, then it began to hurt more and I started throwing up, I thought I was sick but I didn't have a fever so I came here" Ino explained. "How old are you?" "13" "I see" "is something wrong?" Come with me, girls you two can come too" "Ok" they both said. "I'm just going to do a couple of x-rays on your stomach ok?" "Ok". "You said your 13 right?" "Yes" "um... when was the last time you have been involved in any sexual contact?" "... um last night" "well your... pregnant.." "WHAT!?" The girls all fainted.

"Falcon" Fox said. "Yes Captain?" "Use your Byakugan and scan up ahead" "Right". "What do you see?" "10 shinobi of the Hidden Waterfall it seems like they're on patrol" Neji confirmed "about 20km away and 2 shinobi, just 20ft away, not Hidden Cloud, but other shinobi" "what do you mean by other shinobi?" Wolf asked. "Well they're not Hidden Waterfall" Neji said "then what are they?" Bear asked. "We'll just have to find out" Fox suggested. "Stop right there!" Fox yelled. "..." the two shinobi followed as told. "Who are you"? Fox asked. "We're of the Akatsuki" one of them said. "Akatsuki? Never heard of it" Fox said. "The Akatsuki? I know who they are, Lord 3rd told me about them, wait... are you Itachi Uchiha?" Neji asked. "Itachi, do you know this brat?" The other Akatsuki asked. "No Kisame, I don't, who are you and how do you know my name?" Itachi asked. "Falcon, you know who they are?" Wolf asked. "No, just Itachi" Neji replied. "Itachi, I want to talk to you" Neji said. "Falcon what are you-" "it's something I have to do" Neji replied. "Alright, Kisame" Itachi said. "Hm?" Kisame answered. "No killing" "Aw thats no fun, ok ok no killing" "Lets go" Neji said. Itachi followed. "What do you want?" Itachi asked. "I want to know the truth" Neji replied. "Truth?" "Yes" "what truth?" "About your clan and Sasuke" "who are you?" Neji removed his mask. "It's me, Neji" "Neji... how you've grown but who told you about me?" "The 3rd" "I see" "did you really do all that for the village, for Sasuke?" "Yes I did" "so the Hokage was telling the truth, Itachi, you can come back, you'rre not a traitor, you're a savior" Neji told him. "I'm afraid I cannot return Neji" "why not?" "People would try to kill me, like Sasuke" "Sasuke wouldn't kill you he knows the truth as well" Itachi gasped. "Can you at least write a letter for Sasuke, to let him know the truth?" Neji asked. "Alright I suppose". "Here" "thanks" "Neji, you're a good friend" "Itachi you can come back, think about it" Itachi nodded. "Alright, lets go" Neji said. They nodded.

"Itachi, what was that about?" Kisame asked. "Just an old friend" "I see, well then we should go" Itachi nodded. "Falcon, what happened?" Fox asked. "Just an old friend" Neji looked at the letter and smiled. 'Itachi, you're a good man'. "C'mon we're almost there" Fox said. They all nodded.

Sorry it was kinda short.
