Sasuke chuckled again. "That's a good joke. C'mon, who are you. Stop pretending to be someone you're not. I knew that you weren't Sakura from the moment I saw these trees that were torn down."

"You underestimate me, Sasuke-Kun." Replied Sakura angrily.

"I created this illusion when I was little, to protect myself. It was from fear... of someone. The only reason why you never realized my genjutsu even when we were on the team together, was because you never looked at me with your sharingan." Sakura explained.

"Fine. I believe you. Whatever. Just show your real identity then." Sasuke demanded

"Why should I? It could put me in more danger than I was in before." Sakura shot back.

"You've changed. A lot, Sakura... if it even is you." Smirked Sasuke.

"Yeah, well, of course I changed. I'm a jounin, thank you very much."

"A jounin?" Sasuke raised his eyebrows, "What happened to Naruto?"

"He's off on A class missions all the time now. Of course, he's a jounin too."

"That bastard. Anyways, if you show me your real identity that you've kept secret all these years, maybe I won't go back to Orichimaru's place." Sasuke bribed.

As Sakura was just about to give in, a voice suddenly penetrated the air.

"Oh, little brother, you humor me so often." A thick voice drawled out of nowhere.

Sasuke realized immediately who was speaking and growled.

"You finally decided to show yourself... Itachi...why at this moment? Have you been spying on me?" Sasuke spat.

"Oh no no, rather, I chose to spy on your little girlfriend here." Itachi's voice said.

Sasuke looked over at Sakura, and he noticed that she was shaking.

"Oh shit, Itachi has identified me. Damnit, I thought that this cover would hide me away for the rest of his existence." She thought in a panicky way.

Sakura... Sasuke frowned... something's wrong. "You coward, why don't you just show yourself to us." Sasuke yelled.

"Why not..." a voice suddenly said behind him. Sasuke's eyes widened with surprise, and quickly disappeared and reappeared on a tree. Itach stood there, with a dark colored jacket. His hair hung over his face similar to Sasuke's, and his sharingans were blood red. Sakura, still stood there, silent, with her hair over her face, and her whole body shaking.

Itachi looked at Sakura and smirked. "Long time, no see..." he cooed mysteriously. Sakura didn't reply, and Sasuke took this time to try some new jutsus he had learned from Orichimaru.

Flames, suddenly darted at Itachi who easily blocked them with a flick of his hand. "Pathetic. Brother, you were always pathetic. What makes you think you can beat me?" Itachi asked.

Itachi went back to terrorizing Sakura. "Did you really think, I would never be able to find you?"

Sakura's body shook harder.

"Guess what. I found you... Sakura-chan...are you still as weak as when I last saw you?" Itachi asked slyly.

Suddenly, Sakura tilted her head toward Itachi, her pink hair falling in one direction, and her green eyes shone brightly in a determined manner.

"Hell no.", She spat back softly. Then swiftly her hands were together, dancing in rhythm to perform a great jutsu. One that removed her genjutsu. Suddenly, a strong wind blew around Sakura's body, and the wind was so strong that dirt and bushes were picked up.

As quickly as it had begun. The wind stopped. And a black haired girl stood in front of Sasuke and Itachi. Hair shadowed her expression and face. Her body was the same height as Haruno Sakura, but the hair style was the same, long, layered hair. She wore a dark blue tank top and tight shorts that consisted of a lot of chakra bandages.

Finally, the mysterious girl lifted her head, for all to see.

Sasuke stared in disbelief.

Itachi chuckled, "I knew it", he said simply.
