Sasuke grit his teeth as he leaped from brunch to brunch with sakura in his arms, He had activated his mangekyou sharingan as soon as they entered the Whirlpool lands : The Uzumaki's lands.
Who knows what kind of threat can they face before reaching the village.
"Where are we? This is not our forests " The woman in his arms murmured and Sasuke couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes at her.
" We were out of the Senjus lands for two days now, You'v been Unconscious the whole time princess."
A gasp escaped the Pinkett mouth, and then she Screamed. " What!"
" Hey, don't scream my ears out, I'v been carrying you the whole time , you should be thanking me. " he said, a proud smug on his face.
Sakura's felt a bit dizzy, she didn't know were was she, and who was this man carrying her? She looked at his face : oh, it's ichiro, ichiro who turned out to be Uchiha Sasuke! The Pinkett eyes went wide as she finally understood what happened " You... You kidnapped me, I can't believe you did it, put me down this instant Uchiha "
The Uchiha sighed " I'm not sure it's still called kidnapping when the victim pleads for it, and putting you down in this forest is not a good idea, unless you are friendly with snakes."
" I didn't plead for you to kidnappe me, I mean I did, but I wasn't expecting you to do it, It was to scare them and..." she trailed off and Sasuke continued for her " You wanted to escape the Senju village , and be with me, you basically begged me to take you" He said with a hint of amusement in his voice
" Hey, I didn't beg to be with you jerk, It's true that I wanted to get out of the Senju lands and I asked for your help, but that didn't mean I wanted to be with you in any way, I had my reasons to escape , also, I asked for your help before I knew who you really are , you lied to me Uchiha Sasuke" saying his name out loud scared her, this man was an enemy to her clan, the man who probably killed more Senjus than she could count.
Sasuke smirked " does it make a difference?, you lied to me too at first princess remember? " he paused for a minute then added. " I promised to help the lonely girl i met near the river, before knowing her true , Senju or not I don't go Back on a word I gave, that's why I did it. "
There was other reasons too , but he wasn't ready to go there yet.
"So where are we going? My parents and uncle must be looking for us now" She asked him still unsure of what to do.
" They are indeed. that's why we are headed to the Uzumaki's village" he said.
Sakura's face went blank " The Uzumaki's! Are you out of your mind ?, they are our allies, my mother family, they'll return me home immediately and you... You will be killed" She wishperd the last part as if saying it would hurt her, she shouldn't care, this man wasn't ichiro, he was Sasuke, and Sasuke is an Uchiha, she shouldn't be worried about Uchihas.
Sasuke watched her frown, thinking
" Don't worry princess , I know what I'm doing, I thought we could hide in the Uzumaki's village for a while, nobody will suspect that we are here, not even your Albino of an uncle "
Sakura Shoot him a glare" watch your tongue Uchiha, my uncle isn't an albino it's he's natrual color ."
" Hin "
11111111111111111111111111111111
" Sasuke teme, long time no see " beamed the blond Uzumaki as soon as he saw his long time friend approaching, though the girl next to him? He didn't expect that.
" What the heck!, sakura?"
The Pinkett face turned from unsure to surprised " Naruto? "
She looked at the Uchiha beside her " Your friend is Naruto?"
" unfortunately yes, wait, you two know each other?" he looked between the two in confusion.
Naruto hugged the Pinkett lightly " Well of course we do, she is my cousine"
"You're here for my wedding I assume , but why with Sasuke? Where are the others? : Uncle Hashirama and aunt Mito ?" Blubberd the blond.
" I'm afraid they won't be able to attend Naruto ,I guess they are very busy right now" muttered Sasuke.
Naruto looked at the duo in suspicion.
" Okay, what's going on here . last time I checked Uchiha and Senju were not on the best of terms, I don't believe they sent you : Uchiha heir as an escort to their daughter"
Sakura took a deep breath before saying " No, I run away, he helped me, that's all. "
" Not so true princess , it's more like you begged me to kidnapp you and I did"
Muttered the Uchiha earning himself another suspicious look from his blond friend.
Naruto looked at his cousin " Sakura I know how bad is your taste when in come to man, but choosing this arrogant jerk still escapes my understanding"
Sakura was about to defend herself, she didn't choose this guy, in fact he lied to her, she chose another guy, who's very nice and handsome and most importantly not a Uchiha.
" I didn't I..." she started but was cut off by Sasuke " a lot of things escape your understanding Naruto, now we want to stay here for a while, will you help us?"
" Not until you tell me what's happening here ?, I can't hide something like this from uncle Hashirama and aunt Mito "
The blond was serious but Sasuke wasn't worried at all, he knew his friend better than that, Naruto would never refuse helping him, it's why he came here.
" Sakura is tired, perhaps you can tell someone to show her the guest quarters, and I'll tell you everything you need to know" he said.
11111111111111111111111111111111
Sasuke was too tired to tell Naruto anything at the moment, that's why he bathed, ate a bit of food and collapsed into the bed for hours.
The night had fallen by the time he has awoken, and it was the right time to tell the Uzumaki's young leader what happened exactly.
Both friends sat in Naruto's study, Sasuke wasn't fan of sake but he took what his friend offered anyway and started his story.
" I met her by coincidence, near the Naka river that devides our lands, she wanted someone to rescue her from her over protective parents and arranged marriage, I wanted to help her out, and here we are"
Naruto raised a blond eyebrow and muttered.
" So?"
" That's it dobe, it's not a fairy-tale "
" Details Sasuke, détails, you don't expect me to believe that you would kidnappe a girl just because she wanted you to help her, If you want my actual help you better start talking"
The Uchiha sighed " guess there's no other choice"
The story...
He was having a bad day when the elders asked to meet him , he lost a spar to obito and Sasuke was a bad looser, he hated losing , but If there was something he hated more than loosing it was probably his clan elders.
" Sasuke, you will be married within six months" Anounced one of elders
Sasuke was seated next to his father the current leader of the clan looking blankly at the group of elders assembled before him
" Excuse me?" he said
Collectively all of the elders looked at him with Uchiha frowns that says ( I know you heard me the first time and I hate to repeat myself "
Sasuke looked at his father for help" tou san " he murmured.
" No " Madara said firmly" Not this time Sasuke, I'v helped you enough, you're getting old you need a wife and a hier "
" What !, I don't think you know how old I am dad, I'm only 18, 18 isn't old. "
Madara glared at his son" It is old when you are the only heir to an important clan such as ours, you need to secure our bloodline and If you don't find a wife in 6 months I'm choosing another heir "
This time Sasuke snapped " You can't be serious! "
" It's not his choice Sasuke " an elderly woman spoke " it's the rules "
Sasuke was furious, how dare they threaten him?
" we will be making a list of the Uchiha's respectable girl for you to .. "
" No " Sasuke cut off the old man who spoke.
The elders eyes went wide at being cut off " What? "
Sasuke had a hard look on his face" No, I will acquiesce to your demand of getting married, but I will choose my wife alone, and I'm not sure I want an Uchiha wife. "
Murmurs filled the room.
" How dare you kid " " You ignorant child "
some of them said.
Sasuke was going to défend himself when his father stood and gave the elders his famous glare that means ( Don't even try to refuse or you'll be dead)
"That's it ! Your only request is for him to get married, as for who is she, it's his own damn choice. "
Sasuke smirked he knew that his father was always by his side. All he had to do now is to figure out how can he find the right girl in 6 months, shouldn't be hard right?
Two weeks passed since his meeting with the elders and he still couldn't find a way out of this marriage thing , he has no idea on how to find the right woman.
That day he decided to take a walk in the forest, it was supposed to be a simple walk in the Uchiha lands, he had never intended to cross the borders to the Senju lands, but a mop of pink hair forced him to.
He saw her walking by the river, she was at the other side of the river but he could see that she was a young lady. Sasuke activated his sharingan to see her better, and that was all it took to make him run the river to the other side.
She didn't feel his presence at first , either she was a bad sensor or he was so good at hiding his Chakra. However when he approached her she jumped out of her place.
Long Pink locks of hair were flying around her. Her eyes were a cat like shape, as green as the forest around them, or that's what he thought at first cause when she looked into the river they changed color : emerald green
" You startled me" She murmured still looking at the river.
" has my father sent you?"
Sasuke raised one eyebrow at the question, she thinks he's a servant or something?, how dare she?
Looking at her again, he noticed her elegant red kimono, and her creamy white skin, she must be someone important, but who?, A Senju? Must be a senju or else what brings her here .
" I don't know who is your father, lady. And I'm certainly not a servant" he said and Sakura noticed the frown on his face as he spoke , It's impressive, the layers of arrogance he manages to get into that one sentence. Who was this guy? She thought.
"Oh, I'm sorry if I offended you, I just thought you to be one of my father's... Guards"
"And who might your father be?" he asked.
Sakura frowned.
"I'm not sure it's appropriate to ask others personal questions when you are strangers"
"Fair enough" murmured the Uchiha as he
sat on the ground and asked the question that would decide his next move " you are a Senju aren't you ?"
" No I'm not " she answered quickly.
Sasuke's frown deepened . " But these are the Senju lands, if you are not a Senju, what brings you here?"
" am a marchent daughter, we are here to trad with the Senju, and we'r staying for a while." She answered while seating across from him and looking fully at his face, he was handsome, she'll give him that, but not as handsome as her lover.
Sasuke knows a lie when he hears it, and this girl was hiding her identity, but he wasn't going to press it.
" How about you? Are you a Senju?" she asked him.
Sasuke chuckled. " No, I'm a Shinobi though, but certainly not a Senju." anything but a senju! He said to himself.
The girl bit her pink lips before saying " then what clan do you hail from?"
" I'd rather not say, you know it's dangerous for us shinobis to be recognized"
"Humm I see, but these are the Senju lands, for you to be here, you must be one of the Senju's allies, or the clans who live within the Senju village. "
Sasuke stopped himself from laughing In the last minute " you can say that we have a long history with the Senju , a very long one "
The Pinkett smiled at him and god was she beautiful (he thought)
" What's your name Mr shinobi, or is that also classified?"
He smirked " I'm ichiro, you ?"
" I'm hana"
1111111111111111111111111111111
For the next few days they met regularly, Sasuke refrained from providing her with any vital information that may help her figure out who he was.
On the other hand she talked about her family, her protective parents and best friends , she told him about how boring is her life inside the Senju village and how much she wishs for a change.
Normally Sasuke won't waist his time lessening to a teenage girl whining about her mother, but hana was different.
She was unlike any other lady he had ever met : beautiful to the beyond, charming and witty, she knows a lot of things and he could bet that there's no Uchiha girl as knowledgeable as her in the matters of politics and commerce, he bets she can teach the elder in his clan a lesson or two about good money management. ,she was very smart, and yet not boring, most of all she was spontaneous and funny to argue with, Sasuke had never enjoyed talking to someone that much before.
In the 8th day of their meetings she told him that she won't be able to see him for a while, Sasuke would be lying if he denied his disappointment.
It took him three days of hesitation before he decided to write her a letter to see if they can meet each other any time soon.
Dear Hanna
I hope this scroll find you well. I'm writing this letter to ask about your well-being, how are you? I'm hoping your business ends soon and we can meet again, remember the book we talked about? I found a copy in my library, I'll bring it to you in our next meeting.
My regards ichiro.
He read the letter twice before sending it, Next he received her answer.
Dear ichiro
Thank you for the letter, actually it was my highlight of the day.
As for my well being, I'm fine, bored to death but fine, I find myself wondering of the amazing adventures you must be having now..
As for the book, thank you so much, I'm already excited about reading it, I hope it will be soon.
By the way you have a beautiful bird, I was surprised to see such a creature in my window
My regards
Hanna
Sasuke couldn't stop himself from smiling at the letter, receiving it had probably been the highlight of his day as well, and he couldn't help but write back to her.
Dear Hanna
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but no adventures awaited me upon my return, just the usual duties and training . I'm pleased to know that we will be meeting soon
As for the bird :Izara is his name and he is a summon.
Regads
Ichiro.
Sakura and Sasuke exchanged letters for the next couple of weeks, over the time the Uchiha felt more attached to the pink haired girl, between his boring days, her letters made him feel better, after returning from a mission covered in blood, he re-read her letter where she talks about her new cat, and he feels human again, after meeting the hateful elders, he remembers the funny way she described the senju elders and smiles, and when he feels down, he writes to her about it, and she always says something that makes him feel better.
Everything was alright until he received her last letter.
Dear ichiro
I'm writing you this letter while I'm crying, I'm afraid that I won't be able to write to you anymore, my parents had decide upon my marriage with one of the young lords and I feel like dying ichiro, I don't want to be married off to this stranger, I really don't, my marriage will be in the coming spring, but father wants to send me to spend the winter with my future husband clan! .
Ichiro can I ask you a favor? Could you please help me out of here? Please, you are the only friend I have outside of here.
If I mean anything to you, meet me tomorrow in the same place at the same time and take me out of here.
Sasuke's eyes went red with anger, who the hell was this guy she's going to marry ? Probably one of the other clans heirs who wanted to be the Senju allies.
A week ago Sasuke did a small investigation and figured out Hana's real identity :Senju Sakura, daughter of Senju Hashirama and Uzumaki Mito.
The Senju princess , and now he had made his decision, Senju or not he wants her to be his.
11111111111111111111111111111111
When he saw her standing in their usual place he couldn't stop himself from staring. Decked in a gown of deep emerled that matched her eyes stood the most beautiful woman he had ever seen
As soon as she saw him she run and hugged him " you came"
He took her face in his hands and murmured " I said I will, and I never go back on my word"
Sakura smiled at him and he leand closer, his face mere inches from hers, he had to fight the urge to kiss her.
His hand felt warm against her cheek, and
She stared at him.
Sasuke's concentration was off when he heard his name
" UCHIHA Sasuke! Step away from her immediately "
3 Senju guards were in front of him, all looking at him with hostility.
Sakura's eyes went wide with réalisation
" You are... The Uchiha Sasuke!"
" I'm sorry princess " he murmured before using his sharingan to put her to sleep, if he was going to help her escape this place he needs her to stay silent .
At the Uchiha compound
Madara sat coolly against the tree trunk in his backyard, he was calm thinking about his son, the boy hadn't shown his face at the compound for 4 days now, where the hell is he?.
" Madara Sama" à familiar voice called him.
The Uchiha leader turned to look at his nephew.
" shisui"
"I have an important news for you"
"Hin"
" apparently the Senju heiress was kidnapped few days ago. "
Madara's 's eyes went wide with surprise.
" Hashirama's daughter?, that's a..."
" They say Sasuke did it" the younger Uchiha cut him off.
"sooding Hell!... What did you just said?"
Snapped the elder Uchiha as he jumped down and stood in front of his nephew demanding answers.
" They say that Sasuke did it, saw him running away with the girl, all the nerby villages are talking about it now,
the Senju are looking for Sasuke everywhere, and we received a letter from Hashirama Senju, he wants to see you immediately sir. "
Not in his wildest dreams has Madara dreamed of this happening, he was speechless for a minute, what on earth possessed his son to do such a thing?
Civilians were not to be hurt, and he was pretty sure Hashirama's daughter isn't a Shinobi.
" Sir? What do we do?" asked shisui.
The older Uchiha took a deep breath before saying "Dash it if I know Shisui. for the time being take a small squad and go to the whirlpool land immediately, see if you can find Sasuke there "
Shisui raised one eyebrow " The Uzumaki's land? You think he went there? "
" I believe so, the golden brat is his only friend outside of the Uchiha's, he must be there, or where the hell could he be? "
The Uchiha leader paused for a moment then added " And shisui, I need you to bring my son back immediately, before the Senju could catch him "
Shisui nodded " What about the girl sir?"
"bring her too, unharmed."
" Yes sir"
The Uzumaki's village
Sasuke changed his simple clothes with the fancy kimono Naruto's servent brought.
Attending the blond wedding wasn't on his list of things to do but here he was playing the groom best man.
There he could see his best friend dressed in his finest robes and standing there all nervous. Sasuke looked upon the man he called friend and shoot him a smirk. Which the blond returned with a grin.
The Uchiha watched as the heiress of one of the most powerful clans in the fire land entered the room : Huyga Hinata.
Dressed in bridal kimono Hinata radiated grace and elegance as she walked to the altar. in the glancing at side he noticed Sakura's dreamy eyes as she watched the bride.
" Oh how beautiful" she murmured to herself but that didn't escape her companion notice.
" If you keep talking to yourself like that people will start wandering to which world you belong princess. " He commented.
Sakura frowned " The same one as you, except mine is nicer, you Uchihas don't exist in there " She was trying to sound hursh but Sasuke wasn't fazed at all
" Is that so?, Well then it's a place I must visit" he said.
"Well I'm afraid you can't Uchiha " she sneered " I'm putting a rule that forbids you from coming"
A faint smile ghosted his lips " I was born to break the rules it's my second best pastime princess, And you gave me no choice but to be the king of your world. "
Her eyes were wide in disbelief " Are you kidding me? You can't just go in there and make yourself a king, it's my world"
He pressed his lips together before saying " I can and I will, I can do anything I want "
"YOU.. ..." she stopped herself from saying anything nasty, something told her to be careful, this man words speaks volumes about his character and actions, clearly this guy has no qualms taking what's not his, typical Uchiha, now she can see why they were called the arrogant clan, and no body loves them.
"You know what Uchiha, I didn't think it was possible for someone to be this delusional and arrogant, but congratulations you made." with that being said she walked away from him to stand next to her cousin.
...
The wedding banquet was an extravagant, lively affair as expected from the Uzumaki's, Everyone was there, the huyga clan members , some clans leaders as the Sartoubis, the fuma, the Nara, the Uzumaki's elders and of course Naruto's remaining family : His first cousin Nagato and his wife mitsuki . Naruto's parents died at the kuybi's attack on the village 18 year ago and therefore he has no siblings.
Seated next to the blond Sasuke could feel the eyes of at least a dozen women on him, of course they will look at him, he was the only single clan heir in the wedding, and not just any clan, the Uchiha, the richest most famous clan. Next to him sakura picked at her food completely obvious to the eye rapes that were happening to him.
He sighed ( what good was a woman companionship if she didn't sheild him against other females.
" Are you okay?" she asked him.
" Yes"
" Are you sure? You look uncomfortable"
Sasuke glared at her " Do you not see them?"
Sakura wonderd what could have brought his anger " See who?"
" Those girls! For god sake keep up woman "
She raised a pink eyebrow paused for a minute and then went back to her food.
That earned her another glare.
" Oh relax Sasuke they're not going to eat you, they are fans, you should enjoy it, that is if you Uchihas knows what does enjoy mean."
He snorted " How would you know they won't eat me ?, from where I stand it seems very luckily "
Sakura chukeld, he didn't have to tell her about the hopeful young girls who has been watching him the whole night, not that she could blame them, Sasuke was a sight to see, very handsome, if only they knew how arrogant he was, he's not half bad as a friend, in fact he can make a good friend, she enjoyed ichiro's company, however she doubt it he can be a good lover, he's an Uchiha after all.
" You'r such a drama king" she said
" I assure you that I'm not, do you have any idea what can those girls do ?" he sounded serious and she laughed at his expense but he didn't mind.
" No, enlighten me Mr I know it all."
He moved his head closer to her face, too close that if she turned around she might kiss him, he smelled of Parfums mixed with another smell, the smell of ash and fire.
" They confuse a man with their smiles and parfume and false charm " he started murmuring to her.
"and when they finally got him they give birth to little monsters called babies, and finely they show their true ugly faces. "
Sakura tried to muffle her laugh and Sasuke wondered what could be funny in his words.
" What's funny? "
"You" she said trying to stop herself from laughing harder " i'v never thought, the famous Uchiha Sasuke can be this funny"
He frowned and got back to eating, only to notice that he wasn't the only one being watched now, they were watching the both of them in suspension : he and Sakura.
It was early in the morning when sishui arrived at the Uzumaki's lands.
He wasn't a sensor but he can feel Sasuke's présence, his cousin was certainly in here.
...
Sasuke woke up to a thundering noise, damn it, whoever was at the door was really gonna get get!, it's still so early in the morning and he was still enjoying his sleep before being rudely awakened by a very soon to be sorry imbecile. The Uchiha stormed to the door and opened it to find non other than his blond friend.
He raised one eyebrow before snapping.
"Dobe, aren't you supposed to be in your room enjoying the company of your new wife?"
Naruto frowned " Well thanks to you best friend , I can't , an Uchiha squad entered our borders "
Sasuke tensed " Who?"
" We don't know yet, they didn't reach the village, a squad of five. Sasuke your clan isn't our enemy anymore ,and therfore I can't attack them if they did nothing wrong, can't stop them from reaching the village. "
" I'll be out of here in 5 minutes, don't worry, where's Sakura? " murmured the Uchiha.
" I woke her up too "
In five minutes Sasuke was fully dressed and standing with sakura next to him.
" We better get going , thanks for your hospitality Naruto " Anounced the Uchiha.
Naruto nodded to his friend and looked at Pinkett .
" Sakura chan, you sure wanna go with him?"
The Senju girl glanced at the dark haird man next to her for a minute.
" They gave me no other choice Naruto , if I go back home, they're going to continue with the marriage thing, I need to reach suna" she said, naruto wanted to ask her why was she going to suna? But he got busy with the wedding thing, and now seems like a bad time to ask, it's why he stepped simply stepped closer and hugged her.
" Have you tried talking to them instead of running ?" he muttered into her hair.
" Don't you think I tried Naruto? Nothing worked .. . To me going back home and marrying that man is the same as death. "
Naruto patted sakura's hair in affection " I'm so sorry sakura chan, I wish there was something I can do... "
He glanced at Sasuke.
" Will you be back? "
The Uchiha nodded.
Naruto throw a scroll at Sasuke " this will help you, if you entered the wind land."
"Shisui" murmured Sasuke as soon as he saw his cousin.
The older Uchiha smiled at him " Cousin, long time no see, I missed you man. " His ton was chearfull as he approached the duo.
But Sasuke knew better than to believe his cousin happy mood, this is shisui after all , he took a fighting stand immediately.
"Sakura stay behind me. " He ordered her.
" Sakura! What a fitting name" commented shisui.
He looked over the pinkett before adding " So it's true, you run away with the Senju princess hin? , allow me to say cousin that she's a bomb, a siren, worth the trouble. you know what they say, chasing after a girl will prevent old age, having a crush on someone means your heart will always be young, being love sick is the cure of insomnia, loving..."
Sasuke cut off his flirting cousin.
" Shisui, I would love to listen to your... .proverbes, but there's a place we'd like to be, so if you'll excuse us "
The older Uchiha shrugged before activating his sharingan " your loss cousin"
He took a fighting stand and added.
" As much as I'd like to help in your love story little cousin , I'm afraid I can not, my mission involves taking you and the senju princess home. "
Sasuke and Shisui locked eyes in an instance and it seemed like the two of them were on the same page : fight
However even with Sasuke 's current adrenaline rush, he was not prone to stupidity. He knew better than to just jump right into a fight against shisui and 4 other Uchiha's when he have a girl to protect, it was a lost battle, he needed to gain time.
Sakura swallowed hard, hiding a bit behind Sasuke , eyes never leaving the other Uchiha before them : shisui the teleporter she had heard about him before, a very dangerous man.
Still staring down at shisui , Sasuke slowly moved his arm, grabbing Sakura's hand and resting it on the tool pouch strapped to his leg. She blinked, confused at first before realizing he intended to give her a
weapon if she needed to defend herself. Nodding, she slipped the hand in and grabbed a kunai.
"My.. my... Sasuke, trying to protect the woman you love hin? , Don't worry little cousin my orders are not to harm her. You on the other hand I'm not so sure."
As he spoke sishui noticed something about the pink haird girl a strange aura surrounding her. Was it chakra? She wasn't cut or bruised, Glancing down, he noticed her hands.
" Watch out! " he Screamed to his man.
" Shannnarooo " screamd the Pinkett as she punshed the ground.
It cracked, the whole ground under them cracked as if it was an earthquake ... , both Sasuke and shisui were speechless for a minute, wasn't she supposed to be a civilian?!
" Sasuke Take care of your cousin, and leave the others to me. " She yelled at the still stunned Uchiha.
" Nice show Sakura Sama, it's what I exactly expected from Hashirama's daughter. " Commented shisui with a smirk on his face.
"The girl," he said addressing his man. "Capture her alive and as unharmed as possible. Leave Sasuke to me. "
with a wave of his hand, his men scattered. Sasuke was clearly outnumbered, and while the young man could easily fend for himself, he wasn't too sure just how much could sakura handle, for all he knows she had never been in a real fight.
The battle began, all Uchiha's activated their sharingans, fast paced, hearts racing, metal clinking against metal, hatred, technics sakura had only Heard about were being used in front of her.
The Pinkett tried her best, following what her uncle and father taught her : don't look into the eyes, follow the legs, be careful of the fire jutsue.
" Sakura look up" she heard Sasuke's voice, a huge fire ball was in her way
(Act sakura, do something, she told herself)
"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!" Water Dragon Bullet.
She used the technic in the last minute and it worked, the fire was too close, in fact she cold still smell it.
" Sakura, your leg."
It was burning, there was fire in her pants and she couldn't do anything but stare in shock.
Shisui run toward her, but Sasuke was faster, clouded with worry Sasuke put off the fire and hugged the trembling girl.
" I told you not to hurt her "Snapped shisui at his man.
They were about to continue there fight when a huge rock landed between them.
" Nagato" murmured shisui with a frown on his face.
" Uchiha what do you think yourselves doing in our lands?"
The redhead asked in his calm menacing voice.
" It's a personal issue Nagato San , the Uzumaki's have nothing to do with it, we. ... " shisui tried to explain.
But Nagato raised a hand to stop him from continuing. "Your personal issues is not to be solved in our lands Uchiha ,now if you have nothing else to say, get out of here, or else... You won't like it shisui San"
Shisui knew what was happening, Nagato was trying to help Sasuke escape , it was obvious that the Uzumaki's supported whatever was happening between the two heirs, he can't possibly stand against nagato, and that's for two reasons, first the man was a legend by himself, second they were in peace with the Uzumakis and madara would skin him alive if he destroyed that..
" Alright Nagato san, I'll be reporting to my leader what have you just said."
...
Sasuke would have to tread carefully. Moving the tissue from her burned lower leg.
"I can heal that" she told him.
" Really?"
The Pinkett smiled at him " yeah of course"
A green light could be seen out of her little palms and in 10 minutes her skin was as good as new.
Sasuke was positively shocked.
"You didn't tell me about your healings abilities. "
" You didn't tell me you were the Uchiha heir either ." She snapped .
" Oh that crap again, it's not like you told me your real name either"
" It's not the same I.." she stopped talking when Sasuke carried her
" we should be going, shisui will be after us. " he said.
" Put me down Uchiha, I can walk you know"
Sasuke ignored her and kept running " You'r slow princess. "
Sakura frowned " I'm not that slow" ...
She protested for few minutes before giving up
"was that guy shisui the teleporter?"
Sasuke's eyes were wide with surprise. "yes, how did you know?"
"Uncle Tobirama told me about the most dangerous Uchiha's, Shisui is called the teleporter because of his body flicker technique , he also possess one of the most deadly genjutsus. "
" Bravo princesse, I'm impressed,. Who else do you know? " He asked as if talking to a small child, but she didn't notice .
" Obito , and of course the most dangerous blood thirsty Uchiha, the monster Uchiha Madara" Her voice held a comical effect.
Sasuke chuckled. " In case you didn't know princess , that's my father you're talking about "
Sakura shrugged "I only said the truth, your father is a killer"
He raised one eyebrow " Aren't we all princess?"
" It's different, your father wiped out all the fuma's in one day, That's inhumane even for a Shinobi. "
Sasuke huffed " They attacked us first sakura , they killed our people , it was just an act of self defense"
Sakura glared at him " Seriously, he kills a whole clan all by himself and calls it a self-defense act!"
" First, he wasn't alone obito was with him"
And he was with them too, but he won't be telling her that.
" is that supposed to make a difference? I mean this obito guy participation "
" Well of course it does , you didn't see what can obito do, my father isn't actually any match to Obito, but you shouldn't tell him I said that . And we didn't kill all of the fuma , the children were sent to the civilian villages that are under our control"
He explained. It wasn't his intention to tell her that Obito might be stronger than his father, but he did, this girl innocence makes him forget that she's the enemy daughter.
The Pinkett looked at him suspiciously " Really ?, Sasuke are you trying to make me like the Uchiha's?, cause it won't work, saving some kids after killing their clan isn't enough."
The Uchiha smirked " No, you don't need to like the Uchiha clan, you only need to like one Uchiha " he meant it as a joke, but when her cheeks turned pink, he was eager to hear her respond.
" Don't worry, l'v already liked one of you Uchihas" She stated.
Sasuke raised one eyebrow " really? And who might that be? "
She giggled before saying. " Shisui he's funny and handsome too. And he knows poetry "
Madara watched as his eternal rival fumed with anger, he can feel Hashirama's dark aura around them.
"You better prepare your son funeral Madara, because when I catch him, I'll kill him immediately." The senju muttered, voice deep and full of anger, but Madara wasn't worried, in fact this was somehow amusing to him.
The Uchiha smirked " I'm sorry Hashirama, I know how you feel, I'd be angry myself if my daughter run away with my enemie."
The letters Madara showed the senju leader had sakura's handwriting, her signature on all of the letters, but why? Why would she choose to run away with an Uchiha? Sasuke no less, Hashirama wondered refusing to believe that his cherry blosom did that on her own.
"As you can see Hashirama your daughter was obviously in a secret relationship with my son, they were using fake names to send letters, probably so they won't get caught , and therefore you can not accuse my son of kidnapping, there's no kidnapping in here"
Madara's voice brought the Senju out of his thoughts, and he glared at the smirking Uchiha, not once in his life had he wished to kill madara, but now he does, he wants to smash his hands in the Uchiha smirking face .
" it's simple, they are in love, and they run away to be together ." Added the Uchiha.
Madara couldn't deny the satisfaction he felt at the sight of tobirama's face when he saw the letters, though he felt sorry for hashirama.
" Our Sakura would never do something as reckless as that, your son did something and he'll pay for it" Snapped Tobirama.
Madara shoot the white haired Senju a glare and mentioned for shisui to approach.
" Shisui, tell them what did you know "
Tobirama gritted his teeth at the sight of the famous body flecker.
Shisui stepped in front of guards, cleared his throat and said "I encounterd Sasuke and the senju princess at the Uzumaki's lands, apparently they were hiding in there, and they managed to escape me and my team with the help of Uzumaki Nagato the princess didn't seem to be forced to go with Sasuke, she even broke one of my man hands. "
Silence filled the space between the two clans, untill madara decided to break it.
"See what I mean hashirama? Isn't the blond jinchuruki a nephew to your wife? Or what? I believe this escape was planned by your own daughter. "
Hashirama's face darkened as he turned around to walk away, but not before saying one last thing " Prepare your son funeral Madara"
When he went back to the uchiha village, madara tried to calm his worried wife, Sasuke wouldn't die, or at least not at the hands of Hashirama, he was sure of that.
"Madara sama"
The Uchiha leader glanced behind him
"Obito, what's wrong "
"shouldn't we be worried ?"
Obito doesn't usually care, but Sasuke was his student.
" Nah, hashirama won't kill sasuke, even if manages to find him before we do, he won't kill him, he'll probably beat the shit out of him, which I'll do if he didn't" Madara answered casually.
Obito raised one eyebrow at his leader
"You seem to have a lot of faith in your childhood friend?"
The uchiha leader shook his head in a no
"I'm sure Hashirama is capable of killing not just Sasuke, but anyone who threaten his family, but in this case Sasuke and his daughter escaped together, they are most likely lovers, his daughter will never forgive him if he killed her lover, and that's what will keep Sasuke alive. "
Obito wasn't convinced "What if they are not lovers?"
The uchiha looked at younger Uchiha as if he was lunatic "Why on earth would Sasuke take the girl if they weren't lovers?, heck the girl might be carrying my grandson now" he snapped
Obito rolled his eyes at his leader "A half Senju, really ?"
"No, an uchiha with great powers " he said a smirk forming on his face "
" Tell me Obito, is your hatake friend still reading his perverted books? " he added
Obito could see where was this going " No Kakashi isn't part of our war, he won't accept "
Madara frowned " it's not war, i'm hiring him to track my son, it's work , he has one of your eyes doesn't he? Then he should help us when needed, go fetch him "
Sakura couldn't stop herself from sneaking peaks at the man carrying her
By god he was magnificent.
They say Uchiha's are handsome worriors, but handsome wasn't enough to describe Sasuke , he was more like a work of art.
" We will stop here for now" he said snapping her out of her thoughts
" Oh, in here?" she asked looking at the sign that said "Inn"
" Yeah, do you have a problem with that?"
Sakura shock her head in a no, and they walked in. Sasuke talked to the man in the reception for few minutes and then led her down the hall into a moderately sized quarter
He strode into the main room "you like it?"
He asked.
" Yeah, I'v never been in an inn before" she said while inspecting the sleeping quarters.
" Hey, there's only one bed!"
Sasuke sat down on the chair and started taking off his shoes .
"So?" he muttered without looking at her.
She shoot him a glare " because I agreed to come with you, doesn't mean you can have any ideas Uchiha's "
Sasuke looked at her as if she slapped him or something, He looked as if offended.
" First you didn't agree on anything princess." he said voice deep with anger
"you asked... no you begged me to take you, in fact , I'm the one who agreed to this, And i don't have any ideas, because unlike you Senjus, I'm a gentleman. "
Right now the Pinkett was red with anger
"havens help me! , for god sake Uchiha, stop saying that I begged you, cause I didn't, I didn't know who you were at the time " At this moments she hated him the most.
Sasuke shrugged " that doesn't change the fact that you begged me to kidnappe you princesse, the act still happened,"
" Why you _" a knock on the door interrupted them
Sasuke turned to the door " Hold that thought, will you?"
A woman bowed politely " the meal as requested for the master and his wife, anything else Uchiha Sama?"
" No, thank you" replied Sasuke.
By now sakura was fuming, as soon as the door was closed she snapped " Your wife!! What the hell is wrong with you Uchiha. "
" What would you have me tell them?" the Uchiha sounded like if he was enjoying himself.
Sakura growled " I don't know, anything but that"
"and you gave them your real name, bravo, so smart lord Sasuke " she added in sarcasm.
" Fine, next time I'll let them assume that you are my company for the night, excuse me for trying to protect your reputation. "
He teased
Sakura's eyes winded in shock " You'r a jerk sasuke, a real jerk"
" Never said otherwise"
Sakura took a deep breath to calm herself,
He was toying with her and that's an Uchiha trait as danzo says, all she needs is to reach suna, in suna she'll be safe, she'll finally be with Garra, her parents will forgive her.
" couldn't you tell them anything that will assure us two beds? Mr smart Or better yet two rooms. "
He gave her one of his smirks " Why would I do that princess? It goes against my interests as a man."
Now Sakura was panicking, was he implying something ?... Really... Is he that kind of guys? Is he going to take her and then leave her alone to face her family, was this his plan all along, to bring shame to her family... oh god.
" Oh my... what would everyone think now?, my family would hate me for life... No... No "
She murmured while packing restlessly around the room.
Sensing that matters was getting out of hand Sasuke decided to calm her down " Look it's the only room they had here princess , and since I don't have any money on me, I was obliged to use my family name, got it?, I would never hurt you or use you, relax. "
She glared at him " You'r not lying to me right?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes and muttered a curse " Of course not sakura, why would I do that, I'm helping you out of your arranged marriage and that's all , now can we eat, take a shower and sleep "
Okay, what other choices does she have other than trusting the Uchiha? She had already been following him, he was nice to her, and Naruto trusted him, that means she can trust him too.
" Yes sure" she muttered
Sakura has forgotten her anger as soon as she started eating, the Pinkett helped herself into a generous amount of food and started shoving it down, unlike her the Uchiha was used to long terme Missions and lack of food. he observed her with amusement.
Few minutes passed.
" Emm Sasuke" she murmured
" hin"
" You think... You think my parents will change their minds about the arranged marriage after this "
Sasuke raised one eyebrow, he wasn't stranger to arranged marriaged, they happen all the time.
A mischievous look flitted across his eyes as he spoke "Even if they didn't, they'll be unable to find you a husband now "
Her green eyes widening "Why?"
" in few days all the fire country will be talking about our escape, your reputation will be destroyed princess, no one will want you anymore "
Sakura gasped" but... But..we didn't do anything wrong"
The uchiha smirked" We still have time if you want to "
Her face went à shade darker and she stepped away from hip" you get any closer I kill you "
He chuckled " Relax, I'm joking, anyways princess , even if we didn't do anything, people will assume we did "
Sakura pressed her lips and frowned, gaara won't doubt her loyalty to him, all she needs is to talk to him.
" Dad and mom will never believe that, they know I wouldn't do that, I just wanted to cancel my wedding "
Sasuke crossed his arms in an Uchiha like manner " I hate to disappoint you princess but they will think just like the others"
" No, father will never dishone me, he loves me"
"Shut up"
The Senju village.
" damn it" cursed Tobirama as he slammed his Hand to the table. "Naruto, he was hiding the Uchiha all this time, that brat"
" You believe that Uchiha over my own nephew Tobirama" Mito frowned giving the younger Senju one of her deadly glares .
"And what's not to believe?, we all know that your dear nephew is a friend of the uchiha scum, he even declared being neutral in our war against the uchiha's "
Mito was about to say something to defend her nephew when Hashirama walked in
" I have news, the Uchiha are headed north from the whirlpool lands, someone spotted Sasuke in an inn there "
"Let's go" Tobirama walked out of room in a hurry while Hashirama stopped to listen to his wife who grabbed his hand to stop him.
"What?" he said, his voice deep and sad at the same time, since the disappearing of sakura the senju leader isn't the same.
Mito put her hand on his shoulder "Hashirama, what if sakura escaped with the uchiha on her own free will?"
Hashirama looked at his wife in disbelief "You think our sakura a traitorous ?"
"No, i didn't say that ,However sakura is a young woman and love knows no clans"
Hashirama's face turned as hard as a stone " Not my daughter, She knows better then that, I taught her everything in life and she believes in the will of fire, she'll never fall for an Uchiha"
"but what if it happened? , what if she was in love with the uchiha?"
"He dies" Answered her hashirama "If Madara's brat touched my daughter with or without her permission he dies"
With that being said he walked out, leaving a very shocked Mito.
On the other hand obito managed to get Kakashi and his dogs help.
"Bakashi, this is Sasuke we are talking about, he only one Sasuke loves is Sasuke , he can't be in love, certainly not with a Senju, they killed Itachi!!, "
"We will see why he did it when we find them, let's hurry though , Hashirama, jiraya, and an inuzaka are following not far behind us " The hatake said, muttering a curse, why has he agreed to this?
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Tobirama huffed as he watched his brother and jiraya dissappear, he wanted to go with them, but Hashirama had another opinion.
"Lord Tobirama" a voice he knows very well took him out if his thoughts.
"Orchimaru" he said in acknowledgment.
The snake approached and stood next to him watching the horizon. " I see you are stressed"
Tobirama side glanced at him " Aren't we all stressed?, don't you see what happened?"
"Of course, what happened with lady sakura is unfortunate"
Tobirama stopped himself from snapping at the other man " I wouldn't describe that as unfortunate"
Orchimaru took a deep breath before saying " They say Lady sakura and the uchiha brat are lovers of some kind.
Tobirama gritted his teeth in frustration " That can never be true, you should stop listening to rumors orchimaru"
"Of course my lord, most likely it's the uchiha's who spread the rumors , however all of the others clans and the nearby villages are talking about it"
Tobirama said nothing.
"i'm afraid this incident is going to ruin lady sakura's reputation my lord"
At that Tobirama turned to look at the other man, giving him a warning look " Her reputation will not be touched"
"You cannot stop that from happening even if you tried, people talk and the sartoubi had already canceled the engagement"
"Will find her a better suitor, anyone would want to be the senju allies " Said the senju.
Orchimaru smirked " No doubt my lord , major big clans suitable for our princess aren't that much though. you see the Huyga's man never marry outside of the clan, the sartoubi canceled the engagement, obviously the uchiha's are out of question, there's only the Uzumaki's left"
Tobirama knows that everything Orchimaru said was true, but he just couldn't accept it, the most important thing for him right now was getting back sakura unharmed, and then he'll think about other problems
"What do want Orchimaru, get to the point"
He said.
"Well, when we find Lady Sakura and return her safe , I have the perfect match for her, that will stop the rumors for good, and ruin whatever plan the Uchiha have "
Tobirama shoot him a glare "And that would be?"
"Sabaku no Gaara" the snake said.
Tobirama frowned "Is he somewhat related to Raasa suna's kazaakage?"
Orchimaru nodded " his son to be exact, he's heir, a wealthy nobel family that will add to the senjus, he asked for Sakura's hand in marriage last year, but unfortunately lord hashirama refused, something about not trusting the kazakage enough "
Tobirama remembered that, they also refused because Hashirama wanted his daughter to stay in the fire land.
" Hin, you think he'll still want to marry her after we refused his offer? " he asked, anything but the Uchiha brat, even if that means sending Sakura to suna.
"Leave that to me my lord" replied orchimaru
Sasuke went back to the room he shared with sakura , they need to leave now, it's still too early in the morning, but he can't risk staying in one place for too long , the Pinkett Wasn't in the room though , Sasuke was about to knock the bathroom door when she emerged in nothing but a towel, dump pink locks falling over her naked shoulders, her face and lips flushed, her green orbes fixed on him.
"Aaaaaaa" she screamed, and sasuke ruched to cover her mouth with his Hand, but she bits him, hard.
"Outch, what was that for" he said taking a step back.
"You entre without making your presence known and ask what's wrong ?"
"Excuse me for walking into my room without your permission, we are sharing the room, you know"
"Whatever" she said crossing her arms over her chest.
Sasuke tried to ignore the scene in front of him, her half naked body and now her about to fall towel giving him view of her upper breast, was she aware of her effect on him? He doubt it, Thankfully she walked back into the bathroom, giving him time to calm down and when he saw her again, she was fully clothed.
"We are leaving" he said.
"immediately?" she asked.
The Uchiha glanced at her from behind his back " I didn't think you wanted to live in here"
Sakura huffed "Of course not, I just thought that since we are going to the wind country and it's far away , we might need to get more rest" She explained, and sasuke turned to her immediately, looking a bit confused.
"Why on earth would we be going to the wind country?" he asked.
Sakura frowned " you mean we are not? But You told naruto we are going to the wind country, you said you'll help me "
The Uchiha sat next to her sighing " I said that to naruto, not to you, it was only so the dobe can let you go with me, I don't think he would let you go with me, if he was aware that we will be going to the Uchiha village, and yes I said I'll help you escape your arranged marriage, not go to the wind country."
Sakura was speechless for a minute, her face fell down " You... You lied to me, but that is just how uchihas act, I shouldn't be surprised "
The Uchiha huffed " Not that shit again"
"You said, you were going to help me " she spat.
"And that is exactly what am doing" he replied.
"By taking me to the enemies village?" she yelled
The Uchiha was getting impatient "You do realize that I'm an Uchiha right? Which means i'm the enemy, yet here you are alone with me. spent two nights alone with me "
"I thought... I thought.." she mumbled.
"You thought what?" this girl was so smart sometimes, but so stupid in other times ( he thought)
" I thought we were going to the wind country"
Sasuke chuckled " why on earth would you think that I would want to go to a God damn desert?"
The Senju's eyes hardened " maybe I misunderstood you, I'm sorry" her voice was calm and steady, unlike few minutes ago "However, I will not be going with you, i'v decided to go to the wind country"
She added determination on her face.
Sasuke was speechless, of course he was expecting some resistance, sure, but not this "You out of your mind? The wind country isn't a place for a girl like you, you'll be raped within the first few hours in there"
Sakura gritted her teeth in frustration " Oh so because I'm not a Shinobi, you think am weak and can't defend myself"
" You know am right" he deadpaned.
"Well just for your informations Uchiha , i'v been to the wind country before, I know my way and I have friends in there, also with naruto's scroll with me I should be fine, I don't need your help or anyones help for that matter. " She said, earning herself a long sighed from the Uchiha. She wanted to tell him that her lover is waiting for her and all is gonna be alright once she entre suna , but she stopped, Sasuke was a good man, but he was still an uchiha, he might use that information in his clan advantage somehow.
"Look" The uchiha started
"going to the wind country won't make things any better, okay , believe it or not, your family would rather think you were kidnapped by the enemie, forced against your will, then the idea of you running away, to live in some desert"
She narrowed her eyes at him.
"So it's better if I live in the village of our worst enemies than in a desert , that's neat, and what about your family what will think of this, they might kill me on the spot ?"
" it's better if your family think that you had nothing to do with the escape, that will make you look as a victim, and they'll still love you. " he said " Now about my family, I can assure you that they won't say a thing, as long as you are with me, you're gonna be my wife and they'll have to accept it " added the Uchiha.
" Wait, what did you say?? "
"I said they'll be nice since you are with me, and under my protection"
"No after that, the wife thing" she sounded shocked
He frowned " is the idea of marrying me that horrible? You look as if you saw a ghost " he tried not to sound offended, and it worked, just like most uchihas Sasuke was good at keeping the poker face.
"You want to marry me??!"
"Yes"
"But I'm a senju, this can't happen"
"not if I have a say in the matter"
She was silent so he spoke " You'd probably wondering why would I want a senju when I have all the other choices right?"
She nodded absently, her mind going somewhere else.
Sasuke frowned thinking for a minute " well, to start with, our union might be the first step to peace between our clans, and.." he stopped thinking of what to say next.
"And what?" she asked
" I want you, I wanted you from day one, I'm sorry it sound inappropriate, but that's the truth, I will promise you faithfulness and that all of your needs be granted " he said.
Sakura was speechless looking at the uchiha's dark eyes, no way! He wanted her, but this can not happen, she has a lover, gaara is waiting for her, what should she do? If she told him the truth he might get angry and do something to her.
Sasuke looked at the flushed pinkett for few minutes, her pink lips were open, forming a small o.
He leand closer his mouth merely inches from hers, sakura couldn't move, her body refused to move away, and he took it as sign of acceptance and kissed the corner of her mouth, the bow of her lips, the other corner. Soft, taunting kisses, she gasped and he used that to fully cover her mouth with his. His tongue brushed hers—lazy, deft strokes.
There was a low roaring sound in her ears as of sea_shells held against them and through the sound she heard the thudding of her heart, her body seemed to melt into his. Sasuke broke the kiss breathing ragged, satisfied to find sakura's own chest rising and falling in an uneven rhythm. So new—this thing between them was still so new, so … raw. Utterly consuming. The desire was only the start of it.
A knock on the door broke the magic spell , Sasuke cursed under his breath and rose to open the door ready to snap at whoever was there, but the masked man in front of him gave him no time for that.
" get the girl, we are going"
"Wait, what? Kakashi what are you doing in here?"
The hatake stood there hands in his pockets, looking as bored as ever " I'm here to save your ass kid , Hashirama and jiraya are in town, 20 minutes away from here, obito is trying to slow them down, he can't do that for long"
Sasuke walked in to grab his Katana, then turned to the stunned Senju behind him, "Sakura come, we are leaving"
"We can't loose them if they are already here" she said, and sasuke knew that already, but he has to try, hopefully obito manages to destruct them for a longer period .
"We are not leaving the normal way" Kakashi said while stepping into the room " for as you said, it's basically impossible to lose them now, they have an inuzaka with them,they already know you are in here, we need to be at least 30 minutes ahead of them"
"And?" Sasuke was getting impatient with the hatake they were wasting time
"I will use the kamui to take us out of here"
Sasuke looked at the white haired man in Suspection.
"Are you sure you can get us out of the kamui world, will you have to Chakra to do so?" he asked.
" Yes , and obito can open another portal anyway, so there's nothing to worry about"
Sakura had never felt more out of place in her life, sure she enjoyed visiting New places, meeting new people, but this!... Being in a place full of Uchiha's, all staring at her whispering about her, was the most uncomfortable moment of her life, probably more uncomfortable than the day of her engagement to the sartoubi. she felt like an alien with her pink hair in this sea of dark haired people, were all of them cousins? She wondered. Sasuke held her hand in his as they walked through the village, obito and Kakashi few steps behind them.
"obito!" a beautiful small woman with short brown hair run toward obito and hugged him tightly.
"Ouch, easy Rin"
The woman who's name Rin stepped away from him, took ln his appearance " you're injured!" she looked worried and surprised at the same time.
"I was, yes, but thanks to the princess, am not anymore, she healed me, I only have some broken bones here and there , nothing serious really " Obito murmured while scratching the back of his head and grinning, it reminded sakura of Naruto.
The Senju observed the scared man who killed many of her clan members with weary, he acted normal, as if he wasn't the monster he is. Feeling her gaze on him obito looked at her narrowing his one visible eye , he's been glaring at her the whole journey, even when she healed him ,he even refused to let her heal all of his injuries, sakura wasn't a sensor but she could tell that this man hated her and loathed her clan, he called her clan members senju scams more than once during theirs journey, and it took all of her self control not to snap at him.
the woman called Rin turned to look at her as well.
"Oh my, I'm sorry, excuse my manners, I'm Rin obito's wife, and you must be the princess"
Oh so the monster is married, and to a lovely woman who seems to be very kind
Sakura thought as she murmured "Nice to meet you Rin San"
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Madara didn't have the time to welcome his rival daughter into his house, for Obito insisted on talking to him right away.
The Uchiha leader glared at his right hand "This better be good Obito"
Obito huffed " You seem eager to meet the Senju, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you are happy with this union"
Madara smirked "Why shouldn't I be happy? I have my eternal rival daughter at my home and willingly, Hashirama must be boiling with anger, I can't even imagine his scum of a brother reaction"
Obito rolled his eyes at the very amused clan leader " So what now? What are we gonna do?"
The elder Uchiha narowed his eyes
"is that what you want to talk to me about?, what's going to happen next is sasuke's choice not ours Obito. "
"you must be kidding me, Sasuke's choice? I saw the way he looks at her, he loves her, you know what that means don't you, he'll most luckily marry her ?" obito's breath started to get heavy as he talked, on the other hand madara seemed to be relaxed, he opend a new wine bottle and filled his glass before saying " You sure? ."
" considering the way he acted around her, I'm sure he will want to marry her, heck even Kakashi noticed how protective he is of her."
Madara shrugged "Would that be so bad?"
Obito frowned "You can't be serious, she's a senju! . "
Madara took another sip of his drink "So? She's from Nobel clan, and making her sasuke's wife or lover will humiliat the senju"
Obito took a step closer to madara " They killed itachi, the senju killed itachi" his voice low and full of anger.
Madara's gaze fell from the younger Uchiha to his glass "I'm aware of that"
"If sasuke's remembers his brother, he'll never agrees to marry her, he'll go mad" muttered obito.
" He won't remember anything"
Obito shoot a glare "I know it has been 10 years since itachi's death , 10 long years and sasuke still have no memory of itachi but that doesn't mean he won't be able to remember"
The elder Uchiha took a deep breath before speaking this time.
" There's something you don't know Obito, when itachi died, 8 years old Sasuke activated his Sharingan. "
Obito had a confused expression on his face " Sasuke's Sharingan wasn't awaken until he was 12, which means four years later, I was there when it happened . "
Madara nodded "Right, that's what you and the clan think , however the truth is otherwise, he awakened it at the time of itachi's death, and I sealed it right away"
"You sealed it!!! " murmured the younger Uchiha not believing his ears.
"I did, do you think I'd allow my only son to be thrown into war at the age of 8, just because he witnessed something horrible and awakened his Sharingan?"
"I sealed it along with all of sasuke's memories of itachi" he added
Obito's dark aura could be felt even by the shitiest of sensors "How dare you" he said taking few more steps toward madara.
" how dare you erase itachi from Sasuke's memories, the only person itachi actually cared about doesn't even remember him anymore and it's all your fucking fault "
Madara's Sharingan sprang to life immediately "I saved my son" he snapped.
"I saved sasuke from the pain of losing a sibling, of being consumed by hate and revenge , and most of all, I saved him from the clan who would have demanded his participation in the war" He added looking at obito's one visible eye.
Obito huffed "And I thought you didn't have a heart , will talk about itachi later, what about the Senju girl ? You're not seriously thinking about making her your daughter in law are you?, you can't do that "
"He can keep her as his concubine , that will be a great humiliation to the Senjus, If he insisted on marrying her, well what can I do about that? I'll allow it, on the condition that her Chakra be sealed. "
Obito wasn't sure he liked the idea of a Senju between them, he also didn't like the idea of hiding the truth of his itachi's death from Sasuke , but he didn't press.
" Hope Sasuke isn't crazy enough to insist on marrying her " he said not hiding his concern.
Madara smirked, gone all the bad mood.
"The same way you insisted on marrying Rin, even though she was a civilian ?"
Obito's face turned a shade of red with embarrassment "It's different, Rin isn't a Senju."
"Yeah yeah, just a civilian girl who managed to make you crazy in love with her, I'd say she's as dangerous as a Senju" the Uchiha leader ton held some amusement and obito grinned, Rin was the best thing that ever happened in his life, and he knows that madara likes Rin, he just loves to tease him about it from time to time.
" Uchiha prodigies seems to have weird taste in women, there's you, now Sasuke. Am starting to worry about shisui"
Madara murmured more like to himself, but the scarred man laughed heartedly "No one will want shisui anyway, he's the pervert of the fire land"
Uzumaki mito took a deep swallow of green tea then set her goblet down and strode over to the window, moving aside the tapestry to peer down at the people below, stress was killing her, her husband is back, he's lunching a war against the Uchiha, not that they were in Peace to begin with, but this time was different, this time Hashirama won't stop until he kills Madara and probably every Uchiha in his way. She sent a letter to Naruto, hoping that his intervention might stop things from getting ugly, her nephew was supposed to arrive yesterday, but he didn't.
Mito took a deep breath trying to calm herself.
(knock knock knock)
"Come in" she said not turning to see who it was.
"Mito_sama, the Uzumaki's are here"
...
When Mito arrived at the village entrance, Naruto was on the floor, some blood running down his mouth.
"Naruto" she run toward him "Are you okay, who did this?" she glared at the audience around them.
" I'm okay auntie" murmured the blond as he tried to stand.
"Stand up, fight for yourself Naruto" Shouted tobirama only to earn a deadly glare from Mito.
"No, stop it, no one is fighting" she said "Come naruto" She added taking the blond hand in hers.
Hashirama stepped in " He comes with us, I want to know everything"
Konan who was few feets away from naruto took a step closer " You can't talk to Naruto Sama like that, he's a clan leader, and you ought to respect that. he's here on the request of his aunt and he won't be obliged to do anything aside from visiting his aunt" her voice was full of authority.
Tobirama narrowed his eyes at girl and was about to say something when naruto spoke "it's fine Konan, I'll go with them, I need to clarify some things anyway " muttered the blond.
"I bet you do brat" snapped Tobirama
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Tension in the room could be felt by the worst of sensers, everyone was glaring at him, but Naruto wasn't fazed at all.
"So are you going to start talking or what?"
Tobirama was the first to cut the silence.
"Well yeah, about Sakura and sasuke escape right? Can I get a cup of water first I'm rather thirsty " the blond said while scratching the back of his head casually.
"Cut the crap and talk already"
Tsunade was getting out of mind.
Hashirama on the other hand seemed to be unusually the calmest one in the room, the Senju leader walked out for a minute only to return with a cup of water.
"Here" he said.
Naruto gulped the water in one mouth and sighed in relief "Finley, thought I was going to die of thirst, Now about what happened the day Sasuke showed up with sakura..."
When Naruto finished telling them everything he knows there was a mixture of emotions inside the room.
"So technically I have nothing to with what happened, I'm as clueless as you guys" muttered the blond.
"But you helped them escape" stated tobirama.
Naruto narrowed his eyes at the senju" if am not mistaken Uchiha shisui is still the enemy right? I helped them escape shisui not the senjus "
Hashirama hummed" Fair enough, there's something weird though " he said.
" What? " wondered the blond
" Why would Uchiha Sasuke escape his cousin only to go to the Uchiha village on his own free will, just few days later, he could have left with shisui from the start "
Tobirama agreed with his brother line of thinking "not to mention obito's help in theirs second escape, the Uchiha are up to something, and we don't know what it is"
"Shouldn't matter now, we know where my daughter is now, and we'll get her back no matter what happens "
"Uncle Hashirama, if i may say something, I know that you guys won't like it, but I believe sakura wants to be with Sasuke, she loves him"
Everyone in the room went silent.
Naruto raised one blond eyebrow "What? I thought that was obvious , I mean, it's true that I didn't have the chance to talk to her about it, but she was in my protection and decided to go with Sasuke on her own free will, that I can confirme."
"sakura is a protected child she doesn't know, how the outside world works, it's why she trusted the Uchiha " spat the white haired Senju
Naruto frowned "I don't think she'll appreciate your words uncle tobirama, and I'm sure you know better than I am what's on steak in here"
"We know. We are ready to take the risk, it's not like we were in peace anyway"
Tsunade was the one to speak this time.
"So you'll try to take her by force? What if she's already married to Sasuke, or even worst pregnant?" muttered the blond.
Heavy silence filled the room, Hashirama's dark aura could be felt anywhere in the Senju village by now "No, can't be" he murmured
Naruto hated to disappoint his uncle but some things needs to be said "You wondered why would Sasuke escape his cousin only to go to the Uchiha's on his own few days later right? Well I guess I know why"
Tobirama huffed "Of course you do, You'r that piece of shit friend after all"
"enlighten us kiddo, what's his motive?" Said tsunade.
Naruto's face took a serious look when he spoke this time "I believe he did it to protect Sakura"
"How so?" asked tobirama.
"I was getting to there uncle tobi. Imagine the senju princess in the hand of the enemy, what would they do to her? There's two options either blackmail the Senju to give them something in return of the girl, or rape, torture and kill the girl"
Hashirama gritted his teeth in frustration.
"Since, no one contacted you in the last few days, I'd say the Uchiha's aren't interested in blackmailing you, so this option is out of question" Added the blond
"What are you trying to say brat?" tsunade was getting impatient with the blond Uzumaki.
"I'm saying that option two is the most logical one, it will be a blow to the Senju's honor and something for the Uchiha's to brag about, however Sasuke knows his clan better than anyone, if he had gone with shisui chances are that sakura would be tortured and killed, no matter how much he tries, he's a one person after all, but if the girl was his wife, and better yet pregnant, no one will touch her, because if there was something good about Uchiha Madara, it must be his love for his family, he'll never risk his grandson well being, not even if he was half a Senju "
Naruto took another sip of water after his long explanation, waiting for the others reaction.
" NARUTOOO" Roared Hashirama
Mito stepped in front of her husband
" What? You can't keep denying the truth Hashirama, she went with him willingly, they spent two nights alone in that inn, four in the fourst, they are young , anything can happen "
Naruto interrupted whatever Tobirama was going to say. "Let me help uncle hashirama, I'm sure we can find a solution, that will garantie sakura's well being and the senju's honor, we might even achieve peace "
So this was the first chapter, I have the second one written already, so tell me what u think guys, I'll appreciate your comments
Notes : Sasuke might seem a bit different but that's because he was raised in a different environment in here.
You may noticed how Madara wasn't bothered by the fact that the senju killed itachi, it will be explained in the next chapter, along with the reasons behind his actions toward Sasuke and acceptance for Sakura.
And about the ages : Sasuke. Naruto and Sakura are 18
Madara and hashirama :44
Tobirama 42
Shisui 23
If itachi wasn't dead he'll be 23 as well
Rin and obito are 28, Kakashi is 27
