Having escaped the horde of fangirls who always followed him after school Sasuke was returning to his apartment when he noticed something lying in the street. Feeling oddly curious he picked it up.
"Death Note?" he muttered. Opening it he saw some instructions written on the inside cover. "The Human whose name is written in this notebook shall die." Hn, what a weird joke. He idly scanned some of the other rules that were listed.
"If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen… After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds." Well whoever came up with this certainly thought it out. He had no idea who would go to the trouble of coming up with such an elaborate joke. But since someone had he figured there would be no harm in having a little bit of fun. Putting the book underneath his arm he brought it inside his apartment.

Seven Minutes Later
Itachi and his partner Kisame were walking along a stretch of road somewhere in Rain. Suddenly Itachi came to an abrupt halt and took out his sword. He drove it hilt first into the earth so that it's point was aimed skyward.
Kisame looked over at him. "What are you doing?"
Ignoring him Itachi shouted at the top of his lungs. "I am a murdering bastard who should never have been born! And I am truly, truly sorry for all that I have done!"
He then leapt into the air and performed a perfect leg split so that the seat of his pants landed perfectly on the tip of his sword.
Needless to say the sword went straight in from the entry point.

The next morning Sasuke strolled into the classroom just like always. He was surprised to find it about half empty and the students who were there were talking to one another with a look of shock on their faces. The only girl he spotted was Hinata.
"What's going on sensei?"
Iruka looked at him with a pale face. "I suppose you haven't heard, nearly all the girls in class died yesterday in an apparent mass suicide."
"What?" It couldn't be! "How did they die?"
"They all choked to death while swallowing their own beauty products like lipsticks and bottles of perfume."
Sasuke looked about the room. "I don't see Naruto anywhere, by any chance did he…"
Iruka nodded sadly. "His death wasn't a suicide though. It's being ruled a tragic accident. He apparently found a wallet filled with money and went to Ichiraku's to eat all the ramen he could buy. He wound up exploding, it's very sad."
Naruto eats ramen until he explodes! That was what he'd written in the Death Note yesterday. "It's real then," Sasuke whispered. "It's really real." He realized that meant Itachi had to be dead then too. His older brother, the horde of screeching fan girls, and the annoying dobe were all gone. Murdered by his own hand.
"Did you say something Sasuke?' Iruka asked.
He immediately pumped a fist in the air and gave a happy shout. "Yahoo! This is the best day ever!!"
