Returning Uchihas
For the past few minutes, Sasuke has been jumping branch to branch at quick speed, still annoyed with Kitsumaru and the fact that Konoha was being invaded by rain ninjas. He sighed to himself. Pfsh, this will be a piece of cake.
But for strange reasons, it seemed all too quiet for an invasion. Even if he was probably far away from the real invasion, it just seem too quiet. The village silent as if dead...
"No way the village could have gone down in that short period of time." Sasuke said to himself. "Besides, if there was an invasion, why didn't I hear it?"
"Oy rooster-head, do you talk to yourself all the time?!" cried out a voice.
Sasuke glanced back and his eyes widen.
"What the heck?" Sasuke whispered.
It was the unexpected. Behind him, he saw Kitsumaru jumping branch to branch trying to catch up to him. There was a courageous smirk across his face as he soon caught up to Sasuke. In return, the Uchiha prodigy glared at him.
"You idiot!" He cursed. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
"I'm gonna help you!" Kitsumaru protested. "I don't care what you say, I'm gonna help fight for my village!"
"Right now, I don't care about that!" Sasuke retorted. "Shouting like that would give away our position to the enemy-"
Suddenly, a kunai flew right past Kitsumaru's cheek. The two stopped at a nearby branch as the kunai landed on the tree. Sasuke immediately took out his Kusunagi, eyes moving back and forth.
"Shit!" Sasuke cursed once again. "Oy, kid! Get behind me!" Where is the enemy?
"I'm not a kid, you rooster-"
"There's no time to argue now!" Sasuke whispered harshly. "If you wanna help, shut up right now!"
Agreeing with Sasuke, Kitsumaru quickly stood behind Sasuke with a face mixed with fear and excited. Sasuke had no time to worry about the kid. Right now, he needed to find the enemy.
"Oh, how lucky." A deep voice said.
Rashfully, Sasuke turned around as he brought his sword up as one hand slid to his pouch.
"Oy kid," Sasuke said softly. "Should you get attacked, do not hesistate to harm or kill if you must. For protection, use this."
Before Kitsumaru could understand what was going on, Sasuke threw a kunai to him as the boy caught up. He stared at the kunai in wonder.
"Ne, rooster head, what's going on?" Kitsumaru responded.
However, before anybody could speak, thousands of kunais were being targeted at the two. Kitsumaru's eyes widen as he stared at it now in complete fear. Sasuke turned around to face the young boy.
"You idiot! Dodge it now!" Sasuke ordered quickly.
But Kitsumaru did not obey. He only stood there frozen. Sweat fell down from his forehead. I'm going to die..
But that was not what happened. Instead, Kitsumaru felt like a pair of arms encircled his small body and dragged him to the side, dodging the kunais. He found himself slammed into the tree trunk as he sat there in complete fear of what just happened.
Kitsumaru looked down and saw his savior Sasuke, whom had just saved him from the kunais. To his amazement, there wasn't a single scratch on the Uchiha.
"You brat," Sasuke muttered. "If you plan on fighting, then don't get that scared. Didn't you learn this in the Academy?"
"Did you think we would learn a thing or two with you making us run and reading boring books?!" Kitsumaru retorted loudly.
Sasuke glared at the kid.
"Oh, how lucky." Said a deep voice.
Instantly, Sasuke and Kitsumaru turned around looking for the voice. In return, three figures immediately appeared in front of them, all of them wearing the rain village head protector, breathers among their mouth, and the same wetsuits. One of them, though under his breather, smirked.
"Oh? This is really lucky!" He exclaimed through the breather. "Looks like we meet again, eh Uchiha?"
"That's right!" The other one agreed. "Wait till you see our power after what you did to us back in the Chuunin exams!"
"And back in Tea country letting that Idate win the race!" The third one exclaimed.
"We will get our revenge..."
"Who are you guys?" Sasuke asked in a rather plain tone.
In a second, the three rain ninjas stared at the Uchiha prodigy in disbelief. Their eyes widen to the size of golf balls.
"YOU BASTARD! YOU DON'T REMEMBER US??!" One of them cried.
"WE FOUGHT YOU GUYS BACK IN THE CHUUNIN EXAMS! WHERE YOU BEAT US TWICE!!"
"AND IN TEA COUNTRY WHEN YOU HUMILIATED US!"
Unfortunately, Sasuke was not about to remember the three rain ninjas he had perviously fought in the past along with Naruto and sakura with these words:
"Nope, don't remember you guys."
Once again, the rain ninjas grunted in anger.
"Uchiha...you're just trying to act cool huh?" One of them muttered harshly.
"YOU SURE YOU DON'T REMEMBER US RAIN NINJAS?? YOU MEAN YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME: OBORO?!"
"KAGARI!!"
"AND MUBI!!"
As the three rain ninjas did their little pose, there was a long silence.
"Oy Sasuke-sensei, who are these weirdos?" Kitsumaru asked rather bored from the pose.
"Don't know. Their names don't ring a bell."
"DAMN YOU UCHIHA!! WE WILL HAVE OUR REVENGE!!"
"They sent this lame guys on an invasion?" Sasuke said to himself rather bored. "Man, what is the rain village thinking?"
Oboro smirked. "Don't you dare underestimate us, Uchiha. You will face the fury the rain ninjas have brought to you."
"Are you guys just all talk?" A voice said from behind the three rain ninjas.
The three rain ninjas turned behind them only to meet the fists of Uchiha Sasuke. The three jerked back as the Sasuke's fist collided into all of their faces and slammed into a nearby trunk. Oboro gritted his teeth.
"Damn you...how unlucky..." Oboro muttered angrily.
However, behind his back, Oboro was quietly taking out a kunai as he smirked under his breather.
"Uchiha, you may have gotten us before, but don't you dare underestimate us!" He shouted as he thrusted a kunai towards Sasuke.
Quick as ever, Sasuke side stepped the kunai as it landed at a nearby tree trunk. He stared at it as if it was nothing special.
"If that's all you've got, even the brat could take you down." Sasuke said plainly as he stared at the kunai.
"Oy Sasuke-sensei! Check this out!"
Sasuke quickly responded to the voice as he turned around. The sight already made his eyes widen. He found all three rain ninjas tied to the tree trunk knocked unconscious...by Kitsumaru. The red-haired kid stood there with the end of the rope smirking.
"So? What do you think?" Kitsumaru asked coolly.
Sasuke cringed. How the hell did this kid did this in just a few seconds? But it's as Shikamaru said: He's got me and Naruto inside of him. Unpredictable and a genius.
In return, a smirk formed across the Uchiha's face. "Not bad for an Academy student." He noted.
"What do you mean not bad for an academy student?!" Kitsumaru shouted. "I think that was pretty good since I've capture the enemies of Konohagakure!"
"After I beated them up." Sasuke corrected with a bored tone. "You just tied them to the rope."
"Whatever! I was able to do something at the very least to defend this village!"
Sasuke sighed. Let the kid be a kid...
"Anyway, there's no time in deciding who gets credit. We have a village to defend here. Now if you want to do something, let's get going!" Sasuke ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Kitsumaru replied cheesily.
In a few seconds, Sasuke and Kitsumaru began to jump from tree to tree once again and yet again having another conversation.
"Ne, Sasuke-sensei? Do you have anybody special to you?" Kitsumaru asked out of the blue as he jumped off a branch.
Sasuke glanced at the young boy strangely. "Yes. I have an idiot older sister, a dumb teammate, one power-killing girl, a perverted jounin, and many others that I can call idiots."
"No, I mean like somebody you like." Kitsumaru explained.
"What do you mean by 'like?'" Sasuke asked.
"As in like a girlfriend or something! You know? Is it that one girl you tried to ask out?" Kitsumaru asked slyly.
Sasuke's face turned a small tint of pink. "W-w-w-what the hell do you mean?! I was blackmailed into asking her out! Besides, Sakura is just a good friend and teammate that I care for like a sister!"
"Oh, I didn't mention a Sakura, ne Sasuke-sensei?" Kitsumaru smirked. "I bet she was the same girl you tried to ask out!"
Sasuke glared at the little boy, but turned his attention to getting to the other ninjas.
"We have no time to talk about this stuff while our village is being invaded." Sasuke said in a emotionless tone.
"Pfsh! What a chicken in girls! It really does match your chicken head!" Kitsumaru teased.
"You want me to beat you up?"
"Let me see you try!"
"Too bad! I'm too busy trying to help the village unlike somebody who rather talk about girls when he doesn't even have a girlfriend."
"I do have a girlfriend!"
Sasuke smirked. "Prove it. What's her name?"
"Her name is A-" Suddenly, Kitsumaru paused in both words and landed on a nearby tree.
"Ha! You don't have a girlfriend if you don't even know her own name!" Sasuke snorted.
"That's not it! Look!" Kitsumaru said as he pointed to somewhere.
As Sasuke landed nearby Kitsumaru, he looked to the direction Kitsumaru was pointing. There on the ground was the Hokage Tsunade, Iruka, the weapon mistress Tenten, the ever so cute-that-even-Sasuke-can't-deny-it Ayaki and Chiyo, and unfortunately, the elder Uchiha Shizuka. For strange reasons, they all seem to have a too happy face at a time of invasion. Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"What the hell are they doing over there when the village is being invaded?" Sasuke asked Kitsumaru silently.
"Don't know; let's go to them." Kitsumaru replied as he jumped off quickly followed by Sasuke.
Once the two jumped down, the whole group turned to them with smiling faces as they ran to them.
"Ah! So you two are okay!" Shizuka exclaimed as she stood beside her little brother.
"Okay, what the hell are you guys doing here when the village is being invaded by rain ninjas?" Sasuke asked cluelessly.
"Invaded by rain ninjas?" Tsunade said as she raised an eyebrow. "Tenten, was that the excuse you gave him?"
"Hai, Tsunade-sama." Tenten replied. "It worked rather well."
"Excuse? What do you mean by that?" Sasuke said curiously.
"To tell you the truth, Sasuke, the village isn't being invaded by rain ninjas." Iruka explained. "In fact, it was all an act set by Hokage-sama and Shizuka-san."
Both Sasuke and Kitsumaru's eyes widen. "Huh? Then why were there rain ninjas back there?" Kitsumaru asked.
"Even though Sasuke was doing well in teaching, Iruka and Shikamaru couldn't help notice but the bad relationship you and Sasuke were having as pupil and teacher." Tsunade explained. "Actually, it was to the point your arguments were disrupting other classes back in the academy."
Immediately, Kitsumaru and Sasuke both pointed an accused finger at each other.
"He started all of them." The both said at the same time with a dark tone.
"In order to see what would it become, we decided to set up a small test for the two of you. We wanted to see how you guys would work together." Shizuka continued Tsunade's explanations. "So, we decided to hire some rain ninjas and pretend something bad was going on enough for Kitsumaru to actually help you Sasuke."
"So did we pass?" Kitsumaru asked.
Iruka smiled. "Yes, Kitsumaru. You guys did well."
Smiling, Kitsumaru jumped in joy. "Yes! I knew I could beat those rain ninjas three to one!"
"Hey, I beat them up. You just tied them up to the rope." Sasuke argued.
"Oh stop being a show-off, rooster head! It's okay to not be cool like me!" Kitsumaru grinned.
"Why you little-"
"Ah! Sasu-niichan!" Chiyo cried. "Ne ne, after all of this, can we play ball?"
Sasuke chuckled. "Yeah, let me get some rest. By the way, where's your sister?"
"Ah! Nei-chan is with her boyfriend over there!" Chiyo said pointing in Kitsumaru's direction.
Sasuke cringed. B-b-b-boyfriend? Ayaki has a boyfriend? And if the brat said he had a girlfriend, that means-
Hoping it is not what he thinks, Sasuke immediately turned around and saw the little girl Ayaki hug Kitsumaru like lovers.
"Kitsumaru-kun, I knew you could do it!" Ayaki exclaimed as she continued to hug him.
"Aw it was nothing, Ayaki-chan!" Kitsumaru said shyly.
Ayaki laughed. "Don't be modest! Besides, you are my boyfriend!"
Sasuke's jaw went wide open. "W-w-w-w-what the phoshizzle... So you're dating him... and you're dating her..."
"Oh Sasu-niichan! I forgot to tell you!" Ayaki exclaimed. "Kitsumaru is my boyfriend. I wanted to tell you but you always seemed tired when you got back like you've been yelling at somebody a lot at the academy."
"Ayaki-chan, you know this rooster-head?" Kitsumaru asked. "This guy who loves to torture kids?"
"OH Kitsumaru-kun, Sasu-niichan is not like that!" Ayaki replied. "He's so nice, he could be my big brother! He wouldn't hurt kids!"
Kitsumaru chuckled nervously. "Is that so?"
Suddenly, Kitsumaru felt a pat on his back. He turned around and gulp as he saw the face of Uchiha Sasuke, smirking.
"Well, well, kid looks like we're gonna have so much fun with you dating Ayaki since we'll be able to see each other much more than ever!!" Sasuke exclaimed a bit too happy.
Rather darkly, Sasuke leaned in to Kitsumaru's ears glaring at him. "Break her heart, I'll break your legs." He whispered harshly.
Kitsumaru gulped as Sasuke snickered evilly under his breath.
"Besides, if he does hurt you, you can tell me right away!" Ayaki exclaimed cheerfully. "And I'll get Sakura-neisan to beat him up!"
At the mention of "Sakura" and "beating up" together, Sasuke froze like a statue.
"A-a-a-a-ayaki...That wouldn't be necessary..." Sasuke stuttered.
"I know you wouldn't hurt him Sasu-niichan but just in case!" Ayaki said.
Sasuke gulped as he realized the tables are now turned. It was now Kitsumaru who was snickering like heck.
"Sasuke's right Ayaki-chan! Me and him are gonna have SO much fun!" Kitsumaru exclaimed.
With that, Sasuke glared at the little brat, I mean boy. Damn kid.
"Nei-chan! Shizuka-neisan is taking us back now! Let's go!" Chiyo chirped.
"Well Kitsumaru-kun, I'll see you later!" Ayaki said as she planted a kiss on Kitsumaru's cheek.
As Ayaki waved goodbye following Shizuka and her little sister, Kitsumaru blushed as he touched his cheek. Sasuke chuckled.
"Young love, huh? Looks like it is possible for a brat like you." Sasuke smirked.
"At least I'm better with girls than you."
"Want me to beat you up?"
"You do that, you'll get one by your lovely Sakura..."
"Heck, I can take her down anytime!" Sasuke replied even though it was so no true when face-to-face with Sakura's monstorous strength without any weapons.
"Ah choo!"
At the market, Sakura just happened to sneeze while picking out some fruit. She looked down at the apple, which she doubt was the cause of her sneeze.
"Allergies? No," Sakura said to herself. "Was Sasuke-kun...Impossible! I just hope it isn't Naruto being all perverted!"
"Ah choo!"
Back at Ichiraku, Naruto sneezed as he was eating his ramen. He looked back and forth as he gulped.
"Did Sasuke-teme find out I ate all of the rice balls back at his place...and now he wants revenge?" Naruto muttered in fear as he gulped.
"Kami, please don't let Sasuke kill me! THOSE RICE BALLS WERE SO TEMPTING!"
