I hope you are enjoying the story thus far. Preview tell me what you think. I'm trying to decide how it should go, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know!
"Sakura! What are you doing?" Naruto exclaimed as he continued to pry on the door.
"Getting Sasuke back is the most important thing to me, too, but freeing Itachi won't help us reach that goal. If you want to go through with it, I have no choice but to lock you in there with him." She responded through the barrier.
The blond was baffled at her reply. He was well aware that his actions seemed rash, but Sakura's response was cruel.
"I'm going to tell Lady Hokage about this... I'm sorry, Naruto." The two that were in the room could hear footsteps heading off down the hall. Naruto walked over to Itachi and broke the bindings that held him down.
"Looks like we're going to have to break out of here, then." He said solemnly.
"It seems like you didn't listen to me earlier. I warned you that telling any one of my back story would prove to create problems." Itachi states as he got up. "Either way, I believe you are right. The only question is how to get out."
"That's easy; I'll use my rasengan to break through the wall."
"Do that and everyone will hear. It would cause many shinobi to come running, especially since your friend is informing the hokage as we speak."
"We'll it's all we've got." Naruto shouted desperately.
"I know that, but I'm still considerably weak right now. I don't know that we could win in a fight at the present time."
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"I'm not entirely sure at the moment..." Itachi admitted. "However, we need to figure out something fast. I can assure you that the Akatsuki is already planning their next move."
Naruto groaned. This situation could not get worse. "Well, we better start to come up with a solution."
The two conversed for a short period of time before reaching a decision. "I guess this is our best shot, then." Itachi said as Naruto nodded his head in agreement.
Tsunade stared wide eyed at Sakura as she spoke.
"Naruto was trying to free Itachi?" The hokage asked for clarification. Surely not even Naruto could be that much of a fool.
"He thinks that doing that will bring Sasuke back. He tried to explain it to me, but it really doesn't make any sense."
"Where is he now?"
"I locked him in the same chamber as Itachi. It was the only way I could think of to stop him."
"I want you to get Kakashi right away. Tell him to get over there and get to the bottom of this. If Naruto stays in there with Itachi, he may be incapacitated and taken back to the Akatsuki base. You need to hurry!"
"Yes ma'am!" Sakura agreed. She dashed down the streets to her sensei's dwelling. She approached the door and banged her fist against it. It took several minutes before the man emerged.
"Sakura?" Kakashi wondered. "It's not even five yet; what's going on?"
"Lady Tsunade needs you to get to Itachi's holding cell right away. Naruto is locked in there with him, and we believe they are going to escape."
"What? Why is-"
"I'll explain on the way; we don't have much time to spare."
The teacher and student raced towards the compound. When it came into sight, a large blast on the western wall could be seen; that side of the building was where Naruto was located. "What's going on over there?" Sakura asked frantically.
"I'm not entirely sure, but I'll bet it's not good." The pair picked up the pace and rushed to the building. They could see members of the anbu heading towards the area as well.
When Sakura and Kakashi finally arrived at the building, they saw exactly what was happening. At least ten clones of both Naruto and Itachi were scattering in different directions.
"Sakura, we need to find the real ones before they get away from the village! If they manage to escape, it could he the end of Naruto!" Kakashi shouted and began to chase after a pair of clones. The anbu members also attacked, and when the replications were all demolished, the shinobi realized the disappointing truth: the real Itachi and Naruto were gone."
