Sakura opened the door to her home. She sighed. "Tadaima kaa-chan." Sakura mumbled. "Konnichiwa, musume-chan (daughter). How did the meeting go with Tsunade-godaime?" her mother asked casually as she washed the dishes. "...Mom, I, I wanted to talk to you about that." Sakura studdered slightly nervous. Mrs. Haruno put the dishes down and wiped her hand on her apron. She walked over to Sakura (who was presently sitting at the table). "Sure sweetie. What do you want to talk about?" her mother asked smiling sweetly. Sakura wandered if that was the same way she smiled at people. It made her even more nervous. After all, Sakura was the splitting image of her mother. Her mother had pink hair and a very curvy figure. That was probably why her tou-san was attracted to her so much. The wierd thing about it, was that her eyes were purple, an exotic eyecolor befitting the Haruno name.
"Alright...it's like this. I-no, how do I wanna say this? During the meeting I had today with Tsunade-sama, she went through our history and found documents of a forbidden kekke genkai that we used to have, but was forbidden and soon lost through time." Sakura started off. Her mother had eyes that gestured her to go on. Sakura kept rambling on. "And so, Tsunade-sama said that it was only taught to a few generations after you, but she doesn't think you both know it."
Mrs. Haruno laughed, which caused Sakura to have a bewildered look on her face. "You mean Tsunade-godaime thinks that your father doesn't know it." Mrs. Harno replied. "So..what are you saying kaa-chan?" Sakura asked. "I'm saying..I know the jutsu your talking about musume-chan." her mother responded. "But that's not possible. It was only taught to a couple generations after our ancestor." Sakura said logically. "Well, I think it's about time you know. baa-chan, taught me the technique when I was...hmm..around your age. The technique is called Kurai seisho jutsu. The advanced form of the technique is called the Kurai Senton Seisho jutsu. The only reason why I know it, was that this trait was specifically for women in the Haruno clan, although, some men could use the jutsu as well, but that was rare---" Mrs. Haruno explained, before she was cut off by Sakura's high-pitched squeals of joy. "Oh my gosh! YOU CAN TEACH IT TO ME!! Yes! Oh my God! Yes! Thank you Kami! Woot!" Sakura shouted as she jumped up and down.
"Sakura...SAKURA!" her mother said sternly. "H-hai kaa-chan?" Sakura asked. "I can't teach you the jutsu." her mother replied. "B-but you know it, so what's stopping you from teaching it to me." Sakura asked dissapointed. "Oh, sweetheart," Mrs. Haruno said as she hugged her daughter. "It's not that I don't want to teach the jutsu to you. If I had it my way, I would, but you see, the jutsu must be acquired. You have to earn the jutsu, your own way. No one else's. I can guide you along the way musume-chan. I can even give Tsunade-godaime some tips on how to release the jutsu, but overall, it's all up to you." Mrs. Haruno explained. "Hai kaa-chan." Sakura said. "Now, the dishes need your attention. You know that we don't have a maid service. Those dishes won't get cleaned themselves." Mrs. Haruno replied while she laughed evily. "I'll be out! Itte kimasu!!!" she managed to say in between giggles, as she left out the door. "KAA-CHAN!!! H-hey! KAA-CHAN THAT'S NOT RIGHT!!!!!!!" Sakura yelled. All she could hear was the revving of a car's wheels. Damn her...Sakura thought silently. Thunder crackled. "Sorry Kami!" Sakura said as she scrubbed the remaining dishes in the sink.
Meanwhile...
Sasuke put his katana around his waist. He couldn't think about his cherry blossom anymore. Itachi was near, and he could feel it. His base was set in a territory that belonged to no village. The perfect place to hide and complete any unfinished business. There were no towns nearby so no innocent people could get hurt. "Juugo, I'm calling a meeting. Get Karin and Suigetsu out her now." Sasuke commanded. "Right away Sasuke-sama." Juugo said, and with that, he disappeared. We have to be careful. We can't draw any unneccesary attention to ourselves, or that will put all of the work we did in vain. Sasuke thought as he looked to the sky. It was getting late. Nightfall was coming, and it wasn't good for an S-rank criminal to be staying out in an unmarked territory. Ninja belonging the leaf village could be sent out to retrieve him at any minute. "And I'm not ready to go back, yet."
Juugo returned with Karin and Suigetsu at both of his sides. "This had better be good Uchiha." Suigetsu said as he sat down on the bark of an old tree. He had an annoyed yet calm expression on his face. Karin slapped him on his head. "Don't talk to Sasuke-kun like that you fucktard. I don't see you doing anything around here of importance." Karin said. "Frankly, I don't Sasuke's doing anything either. Sneaking off to be with some----" Suigetsu said before Juugo put a kunai to his throat. "Doumo Juugo. I called you here because we need to find a way to get to Itachi without drawing so much attention to ourselves. One powerful move and that will send Konoha nin spurring out here as well as the ANBU. We'll have too much to handle. You have any information we could use to keep the Konoha nin away?" Sasuke asked. Karin shook her head signaling "no." However, Suigetsu just smiled. "I think I got some info for you Uchiha." Suigetsu smiled. He pulled out a jug of water and drank it all in one gulp. After that he took out a folder. "Seems like Konoha nin are one step ahead of us. Or should I say the kunoichi of the village are." Suigetsu replied cooly as he slammed the folder down to the ground. Karin's ears twitiched. She hated competiton. "What do you mean the kunoichi..." Karin asked sternly. "Seems like Tsunade got the top kunoichi, who have been recently donned as jounin, to move on out to the Akatsuki as a mission." Suigetsu explained. "What kunoichi?" Sasuke asked. If it's who I think it is, then we have a problem. Sasuke thought to himself. "I haven't seen what's inside of the folder, so let's see who the mysterious ladies are." Suigetsu said as he opened the folder.
Suigetsu whistled. "Damn, those are some fine girls. Liking the blondie and the girls with buns. Shit, look at the size of those girl's jugs with the white eyes. Fuck.The pink headed girl...her curves...damn, I could do her in a minute." Suigetsu cooed. Even Juugo took notice to the girls. "They look like a piece of shit that's been eaten, then thrown up again." Karin said flatly. Sasuke looked at Karin and smirked. Karin blushed. "Karin..." Sasuke replied. "Hai, Sasuke-kun.." Karin said as she twirled a piece of her red hair. "Green...is not your best color. Stop with the jealousy act. It doesn't look good." Sasuke said as he retorted with a frown. Suigetsu laughed. Karin stormed off. "You think she will be okay?" Juugo asked. "She'll be fine." Sasuke answered.
"Well, you lived in Konoha. You know these girls?" Suigetsu asked. "Yea, I do." Sasuke responded.

Sasuke smiled. That's Tenten alright. The basic information is all there. he thought. "I like her. She's cute on the outside, tough on the inside. Deadly girl." Suigetsu said. Juugo slapped him on the head again. "Alright, sheesh!!!" Suigetsu replied.

"And we meet a blondie. Hot one too." Suigetsu said. He laughed. "Uchiha, I don't see why you left the village, just so that you could kill your brother. Look at these girls. I'm pretty sure you could've had anyone of them, and you gave that life up so you could kill your nii-san? That's just---" Suigetsu said before he could even finish. He had a katana up to his neck. "You don't know the type of life I lived. You try watching your family die right before your eyes. Women are not on my mind right now (lie). Only Itachi is (lie)." Sasuke snarled evily. Juugo put a hand on Sasuke's back. "Let's just read the last record." Juugo said trying to calm Sasuke down.
