Chapter 8

I don't own Naruto; I only own my characters and story!

This chapter is short but the next is the one you want!

Enjoy…


At the evening there was a party at the Hokage's house. All the genins and their families went there to celebrate the end of the first nine matches.

Naruto invited the kids from Suna, too. Akira was the only one missing; she was still in the hospital.

Shikamaru was very angry.

"…and that beast, treating a girl like that! He didn't even give her a chance to think of a plan!"

Naruto hadn't understood what happened during Akira's match.

"What was that in the end?"

Sasuke looked carefully at Shinji. Suddenly there was complete silence and everyone looked Shinji.

"I just got a little angry!"

"That was a little? You almost burnt the man!"

"Someone who hits a girl like that is not a man!"

"He is right!"

"How did you do it?"

"I can control fire with my Sharingan."

"Didn't you spend a lot of chakra to control so much fire?"

He just smirked and Daisuke was the one to answer.

"Shinji has a special ability. His chakra never ends. The jutsus he uses require very little chakra!"

"Amazing!"

"He can fight all the time and never get tired!"

"Wow!"

"So for the next round we have Kenji, Sorao, Miki, Shinji, Rami, a man from the Wave and two from the Sound."

"I just fell sorry for the guy that will fight Shinji"

"I will fight that Wave thing."

"You can't say for sure!"

"Oh, I can!"

Kenji noticed that the girls were away and said: "I want to fight your sister."

Miki heard that and came closer. "You think you can beat me?"

"I'm sure I can!"

"You think you are too good for the Exam, but I watched the matches and I tell you that there is none here that can beat me!"

"Then you will fight me?"

"With pleasure, princess!"

Sasuke was not very pleased by the conversation. Kenji was known to be playboy and he could feel the tension between the two. His daughter was very pretty and he obviously liked her a lot.


Later that night the three kids went to Sasuke's mansion to stay there for the night. Sasuke was very anxious for that and gave the best rooms in the house.

They were impressed by the place.

"So, do you like it?"

"It's amazing! Huge!"

"Then you can spend some time here in the summer!"

"Mmm… We should ask mum for that!"

Sasuke felt worst after that. Daisuke saw it and started to talk.

"Shinji had told us for Konoha and now I am here and feel like this is heaven. I never liked the desert and I find that place amazing, beautiful like… home!"

"This is the place you should live, this is your home, both your mother and I come from Konoha!"

"We can stay here for a while in summer but we have a house in the Sand."

"I understand."

"And a mother!"

"Hn."

"And a step-father…"

Sasuke started to feel uneasy, but he was very curious about Sakura's husband and wanted to know some things.

"How is he like?"

It was obvious that Daisuke didn't like him. He got angry and started to yell.

"Maruo? He is an old pervert! I don't know the reason mum married him. She is young and pretty and many would like to have her!"

"…"

"He is a doctor, but he is stupid! He's playing romantic but he really doesn't know how to treat a woman!"

"Can Sakura be happy like that?"

All three children looked at him and couldn't find words to talk about their mother.


Sasuke was enjoying the silence of the night lost in his thoughts. The current state of Sakura made him very worried. He didn't believe Daisuke; Sakura wouldn't have married someone like that.

Was she in love with the guy?

Then she had moved on. She didn't think of him any more. He should have done the same; there were many women that liked him.

Sasuke was angry. Shinji was right. That feeling was jealousy. He couldn't believe that she was with another man now. The picture in his mind of him touching his Sakura could drive him crazy.

Suddenly a bird interrupted the silence and flew to the window. It left a letter on the kitchen table and left.

Sasuke took it in his hands.

To:

Daisuke

Shinji

Miki

That small and cute letters. He recognized them very easily after all these years. He knew it was wrong, but couldn't resist the urge to read her letter.

My dear babies,

Congratulations for your matches! I wish I was there to see you fighting. Daisuke, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's all about participating.

Miki and Shinji, be careful and never underestimate the opponent, because you will fight to death.

What happened to Akira was awful and cruel, but you must remain calm and concentrate.

Don't kill the poor guy!

I was very happy to hear names that I've not heard for years and I felt nostalgic.

It's a miracle that you met Sasuke and liked him so much. I was very worried about that.

Maruo will be in Konoha next week to buy herbs and he would like you to meet him there. He is going to stay for the weekend.

I'm fine but I miss you all too much! I hope we will meet again soon…

Love, mum.

"So, mister Nakamura, here we meet!"


That's it for now!

Next chapter is coming soon…
