Everyone grabbed a kunai and after walking for a peaceful 34 minutes... They were suddenly covered with a dark fog. Suddenly, Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs and the scream faded.

"Sakura, where are you?!" Kurenai shouted.

"SHARINGAN!" Sasuke and Naruto said at the same time.

"BYAKUGAN!" Neji and Hinata, too.

"See anything, fellas?" Anko asked.

"Nothing." the four replied.

What they didn't know was that Sakura was kidnapped.

"Who are you?!" she asked a man infront of her.

"Sasuke?" she mumbled. The man exactly looked like the man she used to love. The man placed his hands on her cheeks and stared at her emerald eyes.

"I know that you are the one that Sasuke treasures the most. Aren't you a member of the Stealth Rams?"

"SO WHAT IF I AM?!"

She grabbed a kunai and swung it in his direction but he evaded her attack. He laughed and told her, "You don't know me?"

"Who cares if I don't? I don't give a damn on whatever your name is! My duty here is to protect the scroll that Anko has!"

"Actually, I don't have any intention of getting the scroll that Anko has. I know that you're one of the fifteen guardians of one of the ancient scrolls that the Stealth Rams have. So, can you kindly give it to me?"

"Are you stupid?! Why would I give it to someone like you?! And what did you do to the others?!"

"Others? You mean those who are trapped in my night fog? They're doing fine. Don't worry, I won't leave a scratch on them. That is... As of now, they don't have any foes yet, but if you don't give the scroll that you and the other Stealth Rams are protecting, I will be forced to send assassins to your friends and to your soulmate, my brother, Uchiha Sasuke."

Her eyes widened and she bellowed, "I see... If I'm not mistaken, you're Uchiha Itachi, am I correct? And another thing, Sasuke is getting married to Ino and I have no feelings for him! One more reminder, okay, I AM one of the guardians of the scroll you're looking for. You're looking for the scroll of the ancient jutsus from the Land of Mist, right? But unfortunately, the scroll's not with me so if I were you, I'll go for a chicken run now before a feather gets lost."

"Really? You're such an arrogant girl who doesn't know what she's talking about and what kind of trouble you've just gotten in to."

Sakura is now holding a kunai in both hands. She goes into a defensive position.

"I bet you're as skillful as the captain of the Stealth Rams. This is going to be fun! It would be an honor for me to kill someone as beautiful as you!"

"SHUT YOUR CRAP!"

Meanwhile, ninjas started attacking the others. Anko was placed in the middle of the group and she is being protected. Suddenly a ninja was heading for her and she looked up. Kurenai was busy handling other ninjas so she yelled, "KIBA!!! WATCH OVER ANKO!!!"

"Certainly!" he replied as he threw several shurikens to the ninja that was about to attack Anko.

"How many are they?!!! They just keep coming!" Naruto complained.

"If you just continue fighting, the numbers will decrease. So might as well shut your mouth to save energy for fighting, idiot." Neji told him.

"Don't call me an idiot, bastard!"

"Hey, hey! Stop fighting, Neji and Naruto! The enemies here are these ninjas!" Ten-Ten warned. The two boys just remained quiet after hearing this and continued fighting the ninjas.

"Minna, I can sense chakras far east." Hinata told them.

"Then, we better hurry up." Shino added as he commanded a swarm of killer bees to attack the ninjas.

Shikamaru attacked the last ninja then he asked him before dying out, "What do you want from us?!"

"I don't know. We're just obeying our boss's orders..." the ninja replied.

"And who is your boss?" Sasuke surveyed.

Before dying his last word was "....Uchiha..."

"Itachi." Sasuke muttered, clenching his fists.

"Like what Hinata-sama said, I can also sense those chakras now. They're in the east. It must be Sakura and the one who's responsible for kidnapping her! Let's go!" Neji told them. When they reached the place...

"Just tell me, where is the scroll!!!" Itachi said, throwing balls of fire to Sakura who was now injured and is still evading it.

"Like I said, why would a Stealth Ram like me, tell a complete idiot like YOU?!"

"Itachi!!!" Sasuke yelled as he came to attack him.

"Oh hello there, my dear brother! So nice to see you! You see, I'm about to finish the girl of your dreams! She's very stubborn!" Itachi told him.

"Are you looking for the scroll that we have?" Kurenai asked.

"No, I'm looking for the scroll that this girl has." Itachi said dodging the attacks of Sasuke and aiming a shuriken at Sakura. She wasn't able to evade it and this thing made a cut on her right shoulder.

Itachi kicked Sasuke away and Sasuke was caught by his arms by his friends. Itachi punched Sakura on her abdomen and cornered her to a tree. She choked out some blood and he laughed again.
