Sasuke: I want NaruSasu!

Hime: :p

Sasuke: F*CK U!

Hime: You know what? For that, I'm going to punish you in this chapter you bitch!

Sakura: *sweatdrop* Hime does not own Naruto...


The next night

Sasuke's shift was almost over hence she decided now was the perfect time to launch her plan. The dark-haired girl softly knocked on the royal twin's door, she did not want her teammates to wake up and find out what she was up to.

The door opened slightly to see the male twin looking at her in curiosity "Is something the matter?"

"May I come in?"

"What is this about?" Akira asked.

Sasuke frowned slightly, she had hoped the twins trusted her enough to let her in at her request.

"I wanted to ask you guys some questions."

"What about?" the redhead asked, getting slightly agitated by the kuniochi.

"I want to ask you about your connection to Naruto."

Sasuke saw the prince freeze and knew she was on the right track.

"I'm afraid you are mistaken, my sister and I have no connection to Uzumaki-kun or whatsoever now if you'll excuse-"

Sasuke stuck her foot out, preventing the door from closing.

"I saw you guys exchange a greeting the moment when we entered the Hokage's office. Plus, how you are acting right now is just proving my point even more that you're hiding something. Now, tell me what I want to know."

Akira clicked his tongue in annoyance; there was no way he could get out of this one…

Unless…

It all happened so fast; Akira pushed the door open, startling Sasuke who staggered back. The redhead pulled the pale-skinned girl toward him and kissed her, hard on the mouth.

The next thing the prince knew, he was on the floor and his cheek was stinging with pain. She looked up to see Sasuke, completely red in the face.

"SON OF A BITCH!"

Sasuke stomped off, leaving a smirking Akira behind.

Good thing that worked.


The next morning, Naruto confronted Akira about what happened last night, much to the redhead's surprise.

"She told you?" he asked in disbelief.

Naruto shook his head, "No, I heard. I was replying a message sent to me so I hadn't slept yet."

"I see but you know I did it only-"

"To protect me, thank you and I appreciate it. You should consider yourself really lucky that you were our client or Sasuke would have killed you on the spot."

Akira smirked, "Oh I am. Besides it's not like it was her first kiss right?"

At that moment, Akira was shocked to see the blonde's ears turn a shade of red in response with an embarrassed look on his face to match.

"Naruto…you-?"

"Let's get moving kids!" Kakashi called.

"We should go" the redhead heard his ninja friend say before walking towards his sensei.

Seriously? Him and Sasuke?!


They were closing in to the city, just a few more miles but Naruto stopped short suddenly.

"Naruto, what wrong?" Sakura asked, worried.

"Shh, I think I hear something…"

Then it happened, a fog began to form around them, disabling their vision to see. Naruto wasted no time in panicking and activated his demon eyes; the usual cerulean blue shade of the boy's eyes turned dried blood red.

Naruto could then see the perpetrators and recognized them immediately but before he could warn Kakashi, the fog cleared, enabling everyone to see.

Itachi and Kisame

Sasuke's Sharingan activated immediately in anger but Kakashi held her back.

"You, Naruto and Sakura have to get the clients out of here."

"But-!"

"Now Sasuke!"

Seeing that Kakashi was not going to budge, Sasuke scowled, "Fine"

Kakashi nodded and turned back to the Akatsuki members who were making handsigns already. Kakashi lifted up his headband to expose his Sharingan eye in preparation of the battle ahead whilst Team 7 took the opportunity to take the twins away from the area and to safety, hoping that Kakashi makes it out of there as well.


Naruto was leading the twins and his teammates through the forest but he stopped short when an enemy appeared.

"Hey kiddies! How about we get this over and done with and let me kill you?" Kisame asked, smirking.

"What happened to Hatake-san?" asked Akiko asked, alarmed.

"Oh, I let Itachi have him so I came to take care of you brats. Now-"

Suddenly, the sound of chirping birds was heard and Kisame looked up, just in time to see Sasuke coming at him with chidori. Sasuke's eyes widened when Kisame grabbed her hand, stopping the attack but before she could defend herself, Kisame flung the pale skinned girl far behind him.

The teens heard first a rustle of bushes followed by a very loud grunt of pain and then silence.

Kisame laughed, "Ha! That kid is never gonna get up to Akatsuki level seeing how weak she is. Whether boy or girl, that kid ain't ever going to be able to beat Itachi!"

He turned back to finish off the rest of Team 7 but Naruto stopped him mid-turn.

"RASENGAN!" Naruto, with his eyes blazing with fury, sent Kisame into the air and several miles backward causing Akira to whistle.

"W-wow" Akiko couldn't help but say in awe.

But Naruto didn't hear her because he had run off to where Sasuke was.

Naruto found her lying on the ground; he immediately ran over to her and tried to shake her awake, "Sasuke? HEY SASUKE!"

He heard Sasuke murmur something and took her pulse, her heart rate was normal but there was no doubt that bones were broken. Naruto deadpanned until he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"Naruto, let me."

Naruto nodded and gave Sakura the space she needed.

Sakura closed her eyes and concentrated on her chakra. Akira and Akiko watched in fascination as Sakura's hands began to glow green. Naruto helped Sasuke into an upright position so that Sakura could heal their teammate's back.

As Sakura healed, she tried to talk sense to Naruto, "Naruto, you need to get the twins back home, it's only a few more miles. Sasuke and I will catch up so-"

"No way. I am not leaving you." It was obvious from his stern tone that there was no room for argument but Sakura tried anyway.

"But Naruto-! "

"Well well…aren't you lot in a pickle?"

Naruto and Sakura looked up and Naruto grinned immediately.

"I swear Sai, this is the first time I have ever been so happy to see you in my entire life!"

Sai rolled his eyes in response, "Don't get used to it."


Kakashi was getting frustrated; his body was tired, his chakra was running out and he had only just realized that he forgot to restock his supply of chakra pills. Not to mention the fact that it really annoyed him that Itachi was just standing there in front of him with not a scratch on him and looking as nonchalant as ever.

Suddenly, Itachi ducked and Kakashi saw kunais with explosive tags come his way. He too ducked and an explosion went off behind him but when he got up again, he saw raven feathers lay where Itachi stood.

Bastard left.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Kakashi looked up to see his student running toward him, "Naruto? Where is-?"

"Oh they're fine Hatake" a voice from above reassured him.

Kakashi looked up to see his team, the royal teens and Sai on a large white bird.

They're safe…

That's good…

Then, everything went black.


Sasuke: I got kissed by another AND I get injured?!

Hime: That's what you get for cussing me at me...

Naruto: *shakes his head* Please review..
