The Anbu captain found himself sliding a few feet away from the large explosion. His eyes were keen on his previous location. He'd never found himself so interested in anyone like this before...Well actually a better word for it would probably be curious. Yes curious that's a much better word... He wanted to learn more about this weird pink haired female...How she work...What ticked her off...How good of a Kunochi she was. His crimson red eyes pierced through the dust and particles.

Itachi didn't feel like himself in the slightest, not at all in any way, he felt as if all of his rational thinking and self control was..gone..or submerge deep within him somewhere. It was weird to say the least and Itachi didn't understand. Why?

He was still the same person he was yesterday or prior to him and this strange girls encounter, but yet in this short amount of time, his total way of thinking and preconception of who he was, changed..If not temporary.

He had totally defiled the Uchiha hand book in more ways than one, which was a huge issue. However, something inside of him, didn't care in the slightest. Not to mention that they had totally destroyed village property,scared groups of civilians off and probably injured a few people. Also, they'd surely be paying for

And all for what? He questioned this as he scanned the room for the now missing pink haired Jounin, who was now of top priority at this moment..

He found himself, questioning himself. What did he do all of this for? What was the answer? If so was it ratinal and or accurate? Damn it..He was suppose to be a genius and yet he couldn't even figure out himself.. He was a mystery to even himself, it was unsettling...

He could decipher so many people's personalities, just by one encounter. One conversation. Hey, maybe even one word...But the one person who he couldn't understand in the long run, was himself.

"Itachi, I thought you had her! What the hell's going- aagghh..", His cousin was unable to finish his statement, for some apparent reason, but he became tense at the sudden and unexpected scream from his cousin.. Itachi assumed the dilemma with his cousin to have almost everything to do with that pinked haired jouinin...Sakura..As he remembered it.

A loud crash could be heard from miles away after.

Shisui's chakra flared painfully, as he yelled in in agony, and Itachi winced at that, he could feel the pain through the impulse of chakra.

There were two things wrong with this situation... One, Shisui's pain tolerance is that of a solid rock. Rocks do not show pain, or any emotions for that matter -Like majority of the Uchihas-. So Shisui in pain wasn't a good thought or reality to dwell on.

Itachi's Crimsion red eyes scanned the entire area of the now void of any one, be Shinobi or be civilian, they had totally and utterly disappeared.

But that wasn't of importance to him, he still needed to feed his curiosity about this girl. Why hadn't he noticed her before? Her being his little brother's teammate and all, you would think that he would have at-least acknowledged her power.

He'd never really considered it actually...When he asked Sasuke about his team oh so many years ago, the young Sasuke had replied simply that the copy ninja, the nine tailed vessel, and himself were the only people importance and use on the team. So Itachi had taken his Brother's word...

"Shit, Itachi, I think she broke my ribs.",

Itachi turned around in surprise..Shisui was crawling on his knees to reach Itachi. Shisui responded with a raised eyebrow, pain still stuck to his features.

"Can you walk?",

"No damnit! I can't feel my fucking ribs!", Shisui grabbed the side of his body in pain, and jerked forward "I should have been more aware of my surroundings... That asshole, I'll get her now...Yeah 17 years in the Kotoamatsukami, should be a reasonable punishment!",

Itachi's became less tense as her sighed.

"Let's not resort to such self damaging jutsu when fighting our allies, Shisui. We'll either have to finish this with the basics, or hold out until an Anbu squad comes to give us our punishment, for our... disorderly conduct.",

"Itachi, I honestly, underestimated the damn girl entirely...I fucked up so badly...And not only do my ribs hurt so damn bad, I haven't eaten since we got here. How can this get any worse?",

"Hn, we're about to be removed from our most recent mission for one..", He added.

"AWWWWW!", Shisui, said, which seemed to cause him even more pain, since he yelled it.

And in that second the air became riddle with chakra particles, both the Anbu members only had a split second to anticipate the thunderous speed of a small fist.

"SHANNARO!", the Kunochi yelled..-Which was uncanny to say the least, and Itachi thought he was Anti-social. HA.-

Shisui disappeared in a flick of his body.

With unnatural speed, Itachi rotated 180 degrees into the direction in which the girl was. His speed was lightning fast, said speed would be enough to make the fourth Hokage himself proud. The palm of his right hand collided with the girls fist and he grabbed on with all his might, hoping for no damage to be done to said hands, forcing chakra out of his fists to combat her Chakra enhanced fists.

She grunted in what Itachi guess to be frustration as he held her one hand. her super strength was canceled out by his Chakra which when it collided created equilibrium. *A/N:Oh my! Imagine!* So the results? No damage was done to Itachi's hand and now he had the advantage.

She cursed loudly

She didn't dare look into his eyes now that his sharigan was activated, instead she gazed down at his feet. The copy ninja must of taught her how to combat a user of the visual jutsu...Alright then.

Itachi's right hand garbing her right shoulder, before the more than aggravated girl had time to respond, Itachi had successfully tossed the small girl onto the now demolished floor. She rolled on the ground quickly and with that successfully recovered from the chunk.

The raven haired Uchiha smirked slightly has he quickly teleported in front of the girl, causing a surprised gasp from the young pink haired female.

This was the conclusion..


Sakura rolled side ways on the cracked and uplifted floor. Of course she'd caused the whole thing, in which she was proud of.

The girl quickly recovered from the throw in which the infamous Itachi Uchiha had given her. her body was not covered in cuts and bruises and her beautiful and almost extremely revealing outfit was torn. Revealing even more to the public.

Sakura suddenly found herself gasping in surprise at the figure who had just suddenly appeared in front of her.

"You're quite impressive, I made the mistake of basing my latter thoughts off of the preconception that you were weak.",

What?

POOF! There was a sudden cloud of smoke that formed near the Uchiha's right hand, it dissipated quickly and with that appeared a very..very.. sharp Kunai.

Two shadow clones of said Anbu captain suddenly appeared, successfully surrounding Sakura, both of which were wielding kunai of their own. Their faces as impassive and static of that of Itachi Uchiha himself.

Sakura soon came to the realization that she needed to act quick..

Cold..sharp metal pressed against the flank of Sakura's neck, her pupils dilated in shock at this a bit, before returning to the Average size.

She felt blood flowing from the area in which the Kunai was being held. Sakura found her body totally stuck in shock. Here she was fighting the two most powerful ninja in the whole village, testing her own abilities, and attempting to get recognition in the process, and she was frozen..

"It's been An interesting challenge, nonetheless, I applaud you, and I rarely do that to anyone. It's over, Saku-ra.",

Well, it looks like you're in a pickle here...

Oh? You don't say, now?

Hold on, he just complimented you on your skills though.

Inner was such an idio- wait..

He did?

Were you not listening?

KAMI! He did! Didn't he?

This is true...

Yes! the great..

And sexy..

Itachi Uchiha had just complimented my skills!

Too bad the fights over though, I'd really like it if we could show off more of our awesome abilities!

Ha, the fights far from over...

Returning back to reality, Sakura had found herself in the same position in which she'd been in earlier.

"I suggest you don't continue fight, an Anbu squad will be here soon to give us our..punishments. It would be irrational to continue this."" the elite shinobi removed the kunai from the area on her neck and took a few steps away from the pink haired girl. She watched as he dispelled his two clones...

"You've watched me before...",

He raised his eyebrows at this sudden accusation.

"Hm?",

"You had prior knowledge to my abilities. And the only way you'd be able to know that is either, if you had seen Tsunade-Shishou in battle before, which is highly unlikely, or you saw me destroy an entire training ground before.",

Itachi kept his eyebrows raised. Keeping his face impassive of course, but his eyes were uncertain.

"You had detected our chakra signatures yesterday.", he said bluntly.

Sakura nodded acknowledging him that he had the right answer..He thoughts drifted back to her idiotic teammates, in which she had almost forgot she need to toss half way across the country.

"Why might I ask?",

"Why what?",

"What had upset you so much prior?", he asked, before slowly clearing his throat smoothly.

Sakura's eyes met his, which were no longer crimson, but instead a nice charcoal black.

The question had surprised her actually, she hadn't expected him to ask that. It was weird, she was actually having a conversation, with the Itachi Uchiha of Squad one.

"You're really-"

"Itachi!",

Sakura was cut off by the tall spiky raven haired Uchiha known as Shisui's random yell. He was beside, Itachi at this point in time, which Sakura had no idea of how he was able to do so.

And before she was even aware of his actions, Sakrua found a kunai pressed against her throat.. What seemed to be the third time today.

These mother fuckers and their throat fetishes..

"Stay the fuck away from my baby co-...", the ninja received a death glare from his younger cousin at this. "Itachi...", he corrected himself.

Sakura gazed at the infamous ninja completely dumbfound. She let out a small gasp at this..

"Shis-", Itachi began, however before he could even finish saying his elder cousin's name, his voice was overshadowed by a familiar feminine voice, "I don't think so...". The rosette was confused at this point in time. "Shit..." Shisui muttered his sharigan activating instantly, the weapon still dangerously close to Sakura's neck.

However ironically, the blond haired female friend of hers had Shisui in the same situation she had been three times prior. Sharp weapon pressed against the neck, and rational way out.

"I think it would be smart of you to drop that little kunai of yours..", the teal eyed girl say dangerously.

"It was never smart of you ever challenge myself and my cousin, in anything..",

"One, you challenged me! With that one sexists comment..", Sakura smiled, she'd gotten him back for that, which would explain the damage to his left rib.

"Two, who says you two can beat us at everything and anything?",

"I do blonde..",

Ino's eyes filled with anger, Sakura gazed on, she was possibly five seconds away from kill said elite ninja.

"This is foolish..",

Said the emotionless Uchiha near her.

"You tell 'em, Itachi. It was foolish you two to ever even think you'd be able to defeat us.",

"..To continue on with this battle, that is. It's clear that you two are exceptional shinobi. But to continue with this, without the right conditions or place. Would be foolish.",

All three of the shinobi currently in a chain of kunais glared on at the prodigy of the Uchiha clan. He wasn't the genius of their generation for no reason.

So it's all just going to fucking end like that?

Sakura no longer felt the presence of the sharp metallic object on her throat, the feeling of freemdom returned back to the emerald eye girl, and she took a few steps forward.

Shisui had ended up beside his cousin both of them starring at the two of us. Sakura shook her head, and glared back at the Uchiha, Ino doing the same.

Shisui let a small smirk reach his face, still gripping his left rib, obviously in pain from the injury. She allowed a small smirk to reach the sides of her lips also..

We should end him now...Wipe that damn smile off his face..

Sakura rolled her eyes internally.

"But considering what I had just said, when you ever feel up to up to it.", Sakura's eyes narrowed hen she saw the small smirk stretch across Itachi's lips.

mhh.. Nice

"I think i speak for both of us when I say, we'd be more than happy to continue with this..."

She blinked at the now charcoal black eyed heir, his black seemed to be so silky, she felt jealousy, at this. It was completely unfair for a man to have such beautiful black hair, it just wasn't right. Regardless if he was an Uchiha...

"It's been quite the Sharp Encounter.",

... And before she could even blink again both of the Uchiha's had disappeared, with no trace left behind.

Two masked Anbu squads approached the Two kunochis.


*And Seane!

Shisui, Sakura, and Ino: AWWWWWWW!

Naruto: I'm still not in the damn story yet. What the hell?

Sasuke: Shut up Dobe.

Sakura: Did Itachi and Shisui just leave us with all the damage to the club on our hands?

Itachi: Hn.

*LOL

Sakura: ...

*Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this installment of Sharp encounter, finally we can move out of that dreaded nightclub and get back to the original plot.
