Thanks for the reviews! ^^

"Hatori, where are you going?"

"I'm sorry Hinata...but I can't tell you." the Uchiha doing a check on his ninja gear." I'm going on a ANBU black OP solo mission. I will be back soon." caressing her cheek.

Hinata blushed, rubbing his arm," Come back as soon as you can."

Hatori nodded," You got it, hn."

Hinata watched him leave, saddened by his departure.


"I'm off to the hidden leaf." said Itachi to Kisame." Really? Why would you go there?"

"Hn. I have my reasons." heading off to his former village.

"Alright Itachi." Kisame replied.

The brothers soon came across each other's path." Hatori."

"Itachi...what are you doing here?" quizzed the younger raven haired male." I came to see you."

"What for?"

"You and Sasuke...I miss you two."

"Sasuke," Hatori sighed," left the hidden leaf and became a rogue ninja. I'm sick of Sakura begging me to find him."

"Sasuke left?" Itachi repeated.

"Hn." Hatori nodded." I could capture you onniisan...but I can't."

Itachi narrowed his eyes," Because you're weak."

Hatori scoffed," Because I see you as you are. A hero."

A crunching sound of a twig interjected the moment." There you are Itachi san." Tobi replied.

Hatori sniffed the air, catching Tobi's scent.' he's another Uchiha...why is he keeping his face hidden...unless he's - it can't be.'

"Itachi, he's come here to infrutrate the Akatsuki."

"By myself?" Hatori questioned him." I mean you no harm."

Tobi nodded back, accepting the answer.

A few days later...

Hatori returned to Hinata, hugging her ," I missed you." Sakura saw their PDA and sighed.' If only Sasuke was here.'

Hatori pulled away from Hinata's lips," I have to report to lady Tsunde." turning in his heels and leaving his kobito behind.

TBC...

Kobito- beloved.
