Chapter 14: A mission
Shikazu laid his head in his hands on the table of his brother kitchen Shikaku looked at him worried " Hey what's wrong I know something bothering you beside your woman going to hang out with her best friend " Shikazu sighed "it's a gut feeling that something will happen, but I can't pin point yet " " ah I see can you try and describe it?" "no" He didn't know what it was, but it was a very bad feeling he had in the pit of his stomach and he wanted it gone than he thought back when Cho and him went to save his Teammate because of the bad feeling he had and felt exactly like that. He closed his eyes to think and concentrate on what that bad feeling would possibly be something was really bothering him and now that he thought about it the feeling was nothing to do with Orochimaru, but had no idea on who was really towards.
Later on that day I left the village to think and put things together when I heard yelling in the distance I went in that direction ignoring the fact that my injuries where still healing. I ran over there and saw a twelve year old running for his life yelling for help than I saw a man chasing with Kunai's in his hands I dashed over there and tackled the man to the ground Sharingan activated I was shoving his own two kunai's to his throat his eyes showing full of fear, but I knew his fear was a facade the true fear was on the teen's face I leaned my head to his ear and retorted coldly to him " Why are you chasing this poor teen?" "He's the murderer of his clan" the man replied gulping I knew now he was showing how scared he actually was ' this is the first time I've seen a Uchiha with red Sharingan and not purple ' I looked to the boy and he said " that's my father, but he murdered my whole clan " I turned to him " you don't deserve to live " and I brought both of his kunai's into his throat he gurgled abit, but soon after that died.
I went to the boy and placed a hand on his shoulder "What's your name?" "Jericho Uchiha" "Hey there I'm Emiko Uchiha and I'm wondering did he really slaughter your whole clan on his own?" "yes " "alright I believe you come with me" I said with a kind smile " okay" he replied the walk only took twenty minutes and the trip to Tsunade office was five minutes " Tsunade I need your help?" "Emiko what is it?" "this here boy clan was slaughter " "What's the clan name?" "Uchiha of a different branch of them that didn't leave here in Konoha or they might be from here just farther away from my clan position in the village" "What's his name" "Why don't you introduce yourself?" " My name is Jericho Uchiha" a few minutes after introducing himself Shikazu walked in looking like he saw a ghost " what the hell is wrong with you Shikazu?" I asked confused he went to me and grabbed my arm and pulled me out into the hall I was about to speak, but he spoke first " I just figured something while I was at my brothers and I don't like and it has something to do with you and your brothers " "What!" I said " I can't exactly pinpoint it, but be careful I have a feeling your brothers will be fine as long as they keep up their guard, but with your wedding coming up it'll be difficult for you to be aware and you'd want your attention on your man of the hour and vice versa " he explained.
Shikazu was very worried that something deeper was going on in the Uchiha family than just the slaughter of the clan and he didn't like for all he knew whatever it was; was to lure me into it he knew I wasn't like Itachi or Sasuke I was a very caring person very odd to most people of the village who saw her like her problems was wiped cleaned, but on the inside I was angry seeking for some type of vengence he also knew that I didn't blame Itachi for killing the clan, but someone else "Shikazu you alright?" I asked pulling him out of his reverie "eh.. yea" he replied I placed a hand on his shoulder " you sure?" "yes" ' such a drag for worrying ' he thought I was just about to ask Shikazu to come eat some dangos with me when the boy Jericho came out of Tsunade office I noticed he looked lost and I smiled a small one towards him "Shikazu I'm going to the training fields with this kid gonna train him under my clan jutsus" "but don't you have a student already? " "..how do you know about that?" "Tsu told me" " oh well I taught what I could so " "I get you on that " " ok well see you later" I said with a wave of my hand guiding the boy outside.
Across the village Shikamaru was with Chouji finally able to hang out " man Chouji Tenten sure does hog you from me " "same with Ino " "but that's different Ino wants to hang out with you too she keeps talking about it when we're together" "you've really been trying to keep her happy?" "yea she's my world she keeps it spinning " " I guess we're both love sick puppies" Chouji said with a laugh " heh true and the worse part of it is I think I'm turning out to be like my dad" Chouji choked on his chip with laughter Shikamaru patted his patted "man Shikamaru I'm sorry " " it's not that bad actually I think the Nara men are cursed in that department " "how so?" "well my dad got my mom and you know how she gets" "yea " "and my Uncle apparently is dating the Hokage" "Wow" Chouji replied with shock.
Shikamaru sighed " yep we're cursed" "now I'm more sorry than I was before" Chouji replied " eh Ino not that bad" Shikamaru said Chouji and Shikamaru ate a few chips together before Ino found them she hugged Chouji and gave Shikamaru a kiss "What brings you here Ino?" "I was with Sakura earlier and I tried cheering her up, but she won't have any of it " "still over Sasuke leaving" "yea " Ino finished with her head down Shikamaru pulled Ino to his lap and embraced her. Shikamaru knew Ino was hurting because her best friend was so depressed and he knew that half the time Ino tried not to bother her much when they went on mission which was true enough, but he knew it was still there Shikamaru was pulled out his thoughts when he heard a shout of " Let us train Youthful teammates" know it was from Lee talking to Neji and Tenten Chouji smiled " well it seems that we know where Tenten is at" Shikamaru said with a teasing smile.
Chouji acted like he was offended, but in truth he was laughing Ino stood up and stretched "Well come on let's get something to eat" Chouji stood immediately and shouted "BBQ!"
