Hello, my name is FanFiction and I'm a storyholic. I can't get enough of all these amazing high-quality stories right here on this account. I can't help myself from reviewing, favoriting and following each and every one of them.

When the girls had returned to the table, both Sasuke and Naruto had gone silent. They knew something was up about Karin and her family, but it didn't mean it would be easy to find out. Sighing on the inside, Sasuke looked up to Karin with a fake smile when she had sat down.

"Hey, why don't we go for a walk, Karin? I can't stay sitting here forever," he stuggested, wanting to help Naruto out the best he could.

Slightly shocked by Sasuke's words, all Karin could do was nod lightly and say: "Yeah sounds like a good idea."

When the couple had left, Naruto and Hinata sat there alone, neither saying a word at first. Things had stayed silent for a few minutes before Naruro had worked up the guts to break the silence.

"So uh, I am breaking up with Sasuke's cousin."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"We never would've worked out, besides, there's another girl I like."

"Really...? I think I know who it is."

"Who?"

"Is it...me?"

Naruto blushed, and so did she.

"Would you be interested in going out with me sometime? Like, as my girlfriend?" he asked, as his blush deepened, but he choose not to hide it as Hinata blushed harder too.

"Uh, y-yeah I-I would like that, Naruto," she managed to stutter with the slight nod of her head.

She had wondered inside if this was the right thing to do, but knew she would never have the guts to ask him out after this.

Standing up, Naruto offered his hand to Hinata with a soft smile when she took it. As they were leaving the place, they bumped into Karin and Sasuke and both boys nodded at one another knowing what had happened.

Sasuke and Karin walked hand-in-hand down the street. She felt cold and uninviting, but Sasuke knew this was almost over. He was deep in thought about how happy Naruto looked being in public with Hinata and how he wanted the same with Sakura. Karin was yapping on about something; he wasn't really listening until a few names caught his attention.

"...Naruto, gheeze what a trainwreck. Oh well he's Hinata's problem now. Only one worse is that Sakura girl."

"Yeah I haven't seen her in a while. Hey, don't your parents work around here?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, why do you ask?"

"I have to go see him."

"Why? And do we really have time for that?"

"It'll only take a few minutes. It's for this boring school thing," Sasuke lied.

"Um, yeah sure. I'm gonna go find some friends."

Sasuke was more than happy to get rid of her. What Naruto told him at the table, about Tsunade disappearing, was stuck in his head. He strolled into Karin's family's investment company and headed straight for the main office and knocked on the door.

"Come in," called a voice.

Sasuke walked into the office and saw Karin's father sitng at his desk.

"Sasuke I'm so happy to see you."

"Yeah you too. I'm doing this project for my social studies class and I need to exam an acounting ledger. Do you mind if I take a look ar yours?"

"Yeah sure I just hope you're not working for the IRS now," he said, then laughed. "Just kidding. Talk to Skyler and she'll help you out."

"Thanks..."

Sasuke got out of there quick and went to an adjoining room. He was alone here, fortunetly. He thumbed through a few books until he found the records for Tsunade and the Harunos. There was no social studies class, he was just looking for evidence of the blackmail Sakura mentioned, but what he found was much more shocking...
