Comments - I'M SOOOOOOOO SORRY!! THIS TOOK FOREVER TO COME OUT!! BUT I HAVE A REALLY GOOD EXCUSE!!
SEE WHAT HAPPENED WAS...

I planned on having this chapter up on like the 5th or 6th... possibly the 4th... but on the 4th (Wednesday) I went out with my mom for some "mother-daughter-time"... it actually was really fun... we went to the movies and what-not... ANYWAY!... then on the 5th (Thursday) I was sick (for some odd reason I was puking my guts out on a perfectly normal summer day)... on the 6th (Friday) I was really determined to get on the computer and work my butt off... but of course I couldn't!... we had a really bad storm here and so my internet was down!! I nearly died!!... On the 7th (Saturday) I had already made plans to go with my mom up to Indiana from our place in Missouri to pick up my two little sisters and bring them to our place from my ex-step dad's house... But I knew that we were going to be back at like nine and I would have plenty of time to type... But the really bad storm turned out to be REALLY bad!... We were stuck in traffic for twelve straight hours!!... So Saturday night mom and I stayed at this really crappy motel which didn't have internet connection!!... On the 8th (Sunday) we picked up my sisters and brought them home but I wasn't able to get on the computer until like 11:00 p.m... so I worked on the first half of the chapter... Then on the 9th (Monday) I got up early and wrote like heck... And that's where we are now!

So see! I have a really good (and long) Excuse!

Dedications - I'd like to dedicate this chapter to i.cry.cause.im.not.happy! She helped me a lot when I was stuck on this chapter...

THANKS BETHANY! YOU'RE A LIFESAVER!!


"Get in!" Sakura says harshly pushing Itachi through the door. We walks in and goes to sit on the bed, staring at Sakura with anticipation.

She's got her ear to the door and is listening intently for the three stooges to come fumbling down to listen in on her and Itachi. When they finally come an evil looking grin creeps across Sakura's face and she turns to Itachi. Walking over to him, she sits next to him, that evil grin still plastered on her face.

Then, with that evil smile still there, Sakura...

Starts to moan.

Itachi, completely and utterly confused, just stares at her and her moans get louder and louder. Then with a loud gasp she yells out, "Itachi! Oh god! Itachi!"

"Uhm... Cherry Blossom?" Itachi asks reaching a hand slowing out to touch her shoulder. Before he can touch her, though, she looks at him and gives him a wide grin.

"Harder Itachi! Harder!" she says almost letting out a giggle at the end.

She winks at Itachi and points to the door, where sounds of excitement can be heard. Then Itachi gets what she's doing. A smirk creeps up to his mouth and he looks at Sakura, clearly having figured out her reason for the sex sounds.

"Sakura," Itachi moans when she calms down. She has to hold back her laugh with her hand as she turns away from him on the bed, her back shaking from the controlled laughter.

"Oh god I'm coming!" Sakura yells out in a high-pitched voice as she falls back onto the bed, laughter starting to creep out.

His smirk coming back to his face, Itachi crawls over to Sakura and lays his head in the middle of her stomach, his eyes staring at her with curiosity. As though trying some new toy out, Itachi reaches up his hand and strokes Sakura's right cheek lightly. She leans into his hand and smiles a small smile as she closes her eyes.

Still with light movements, Itachi slides his hand down to the spot he found the night before, right under her ribs where Sakura is most ticklish. Using his index finger, he makes small circles around the spot, making Sakura squirm underneath him.

"Stop that," she says playfully without opening her eyes.

"I don't want to," Itachi replies while pushing a little harder on the ticklish spot.

"Uchiha," she warns referring back to her old name for him.

"Don't be like that Cherry Blossom," Itachi jokes. "Stop calling me Uchiha."

" Itachi , you're a real pain in the ass," she says rolling her eyes and emphasizing the Itachi part.

In a second Itachi is on top of Sakura, straddling her waist with his knees and a hand on each side of her face. A low growl that sounds inhuman comes form his throat as he leans his head down to Sakura's ear.

"You know, when you say it like that it makes it sound all the more sexy," he says while nibbling on her ear.

"Is that a compliment?" Sakura whispers back while tracing her finger around his muscular chest through his Akatsuki robe.

"Maybe... Maybe not," he responds and moves his mouth down to suck gently on her collarbone.

A low moan escapes her lips as his hands slide down her sides, moving with every curve. She quickly slaps a hand over her mouth in embarrassment but Itachi just lifts up his head and smirks down at her.

"You're so cute Cherry Blossom," he says picking her hand off of her mouth and setting it to her side.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she replies indignantly.

"It means," Itachi says looking Sakura in the eye, "that I can hardly resist you."

A deep blush sneaks its way up to Sakura's cheeks, making Itachi's smirk widen. When Sakura's eyes widen at Itachi's smirk it pushes him over the edge and he slams his lips against hers. She kisses back firmly and pulls his body against hers.

Itachi's tongue slides out and licks Sakura's bottom lip, begging for entrance (wow... now he's actually letting her decide... amazing!). After a moment Sakura opens her mouth and lets his tongue slide in. The two fight for dominance until Sakura lets Itachi win and he searches every crevice of her mouth while she starts to unbutton his Akatsuki robe.

She's just about to unbutton the last button when...

Who else but the three stooge come tumbling into the room, all yelling in surprise as the door collapses.

No one moves as the three stooges stare in wonder at Itachi and Sakura's position. The two in question are lying there, staring in shock at the three intruders. Itachi's Akatsuki robe is almost off and Sakura's cheeks are bright red both from embarrassment and the intense atmosphere and kiss.

"I thought you said they weren't doing anything!" Deidara yells as he runs madly out the door, Sasori and Tobi quickly following suit.

"What was that about?" Sakura asks as the three stooges disappear from sight, their voice trailing off into nothing.

"Apparently they saw through our bluff," Itachi replies smirking at the place where the three stooges were just standing.

Sakura lets out a little laugh, causing Itachi to turn to look at her, confusion coating his eyes.

"I couldn't really care less," she says and smashes her lips against Itachi's while pulling his body back against hers.


"Everyone ready?" Kiba asks as he and his group watch Naruto's group pass by the bush that they're hiding behind.

The group nodded, their faces solemn. But they all know what they're thinking...

We have to kill them

Trying hard not to think about the subject too long, Kiba nods and the group jumps at the other group. But Naruto's group is ready and they quickly turn to face the approaching enemy.

While Asuma and Kurenai attack Kakashi and Guy, Neji goes after Shikamaru and Hinata, Tenten attacks Ino and Temari, Choji attacks Sai, Shino attacks Gaara and
Lee, and Kiba lunges at Naruto.

The fight goes on with no one really winning until it suddenly comes to a close as...

Neji and Hinata are killed.

No one moves and an air of silence envelopes them all as they stare blankly at the dead cousins, their blood mixing together and the kunais that the plunged into each other sticking out of their chests.

"They're dead!" Ino sobs as she falls to her knees, a waterfall of tears flowing steadily out of her eyes.

"Dear god," Tenten whispers as she follows Ino to her knees.

Naruto turns to his fallen comrades and it looks as if the kunais were stuck in his body and not Hinata and Neji's. With the exception of Gaara and the older ninja, everyone's eyes fill with tears and spill over. The sky seems to cloud over as they stare helplessly at the two.

"GODDAMNIT!" Naruto screams up into the sky as the others clench their fists and close their eyes in agony. "WHAT THE FUCK DID WE EVER DO?! WHY'D YOU FUCKING KILL THEM?! WHY?!"

"Naruto," Kakashi says, a lone tear falling from his right eye.

But Naruto doesn't listen and instead falls to his knees and leans over, his back shaking with the uncontrollable sobbing.

"Why?" he whispers and yet everyone seems to be able to hear him. "Why?"

"Because that's how it's supposed to be," Gaara says, his arms crossed and staring at the rest of the group. "Life and death come hand in hand."


"Something's wrong," Jiraiya says as he looks up from his post at the top of a tree. The sky above him is being darkened by luminous clouds that seem to have appeared out of no where.

That energy ...
he thinks to himself looking out at the wide forest beneath him ... It's definitely Naruto's. But I thought he was in the asylum. How did he get out?

With swift movements, Jiraiya is out of the tree and running towards Konoha, intent on asking Tsunade what's going on.

But for some odd reason ever since the great battle against Orochimaru, in which Sasuke was killed by his brother Itachi, Tsunade has been acting differently. Not that he doesn't trust one of his closest friends, but Jiraiya has a feeling that something isn't all together with her since then.

I have to find out what's happening ...
Jiraiya thinks to himself as he reaches the outskirts of Konoha ... Something is definitely up and if anyone will know what it has to be Tsunade.

Without really hearing the greetings of the guards at the entrance, Jiraiya quickly heads towards the Hokage building where Tsunade is sitting in her office, a strange look on her face.

As Jiraiya bursts in, though, her features change into that of content and she looks at the intruder with mock confusion.

"Yes Jiraiya?" she asks clasping her hands together and setting her chin on them. "How can I help you?"

"Where's Naruto?" Jiraiya asks coldly staring at Tsunade and knowing something isn't right. "Why is he out of the asylum."

"Are you saying you want him stuck in there?" Tsunade asks fake innocence coating her words.

"Where is he?" Jiraiya seethes. To him, Naruto is like a son. The two years that they spent together training to go and find Sasuke made them grow closer and closer until Jiraiya saw the blonde ninja as a mini him.

"He's on a mission," Tsunade says. "And betraying Konoha while doing it."

"Betraying Konoha?" Jiraiya asks bewildered. If there's one things Naruto would never do it would be betray Konoha. He still plans on being Hokage some day... hopefully. So what would he get from betraying Konoha? Nothing, that's what.

"A few days ago," Tsunade explains looking at Jiraiya's confused face mockingly, "Sakura left Konoha after disobeying one of my orders. We have reason to believe that she has gone to the Akatsuki. Naruto found out about this and, along with a few other ninja, left Konoha to go find her. Seeing as Sakura has committed treason against Konoha, Naruto, who is going after her, has also committed treason and will be dealt with accordingly, as well as the other ninja involved. Now please lea-"

"What the fuck!" Jiraiya exclaims slamming his palms down onto Tsunade's desk in anger. "You know as well as I do that Naruto is not betraying Konoha! What the hell has happened to you Tsunade? You've changed... drastically."

"I've done nothing of the sort!" Tsunade yells back standing up herself and returning Jiraiya's glare. "Now you will leave my office and Konoha if you know what's best for you."

The way that she's looking at him. It reminds him so much of someone else. Of how that someone looked at Naruto once. That same glare that sends shivers down your spine while causing you to want to take care of that person, protect them from themselves. In that instant everything becomes clear and Jiraiya realizes exactly who he's up against.

"You seriously think I don't know what's going on?" Jiraiya says in a forced whisper, his eyes thin slits surrounded by his long white hair. "I know exactly what happened that day Orochimaru was defeated. I know what you did, who you are, and what truly happened that day."

"You think," Tsunade says, the same amount of venom coating her words. "You are nothing but an old man with no power. I am the Hokage and as such I have the power. You know nothing."

"I know everything..." Jiraiya's voice is barely loud enough to hear as he finishes. "...Sasuke."
