Chapter 3-Rescuing Sasuke, er, Sora
Sakura ran over to a house that was down the street and banged on the door. A silver-haired Jounin peeked outside and saw who it was.
"Konnichiwa Sakura-chan." Kakashi greeted. "What do you want at..." he checked his watch "8:30 in the morning? Some people sleep in you know."
"Hai, hai I know." The pink-haired Chuunin waved her hand impatiently. "Does Sasuke-kun have a mission today??"
"Hn...sou, he does..." her teacher replied.
"What about Naruto??" Sakura asked.
"He's probably training." Kakashi told her, "Why do you want to know?? It's not really like you to be so impatient about your two teammates. Well, except when they fight and get annoying..."
"Oh..." Sakura said, a bit down, "Well, sensei, I was wondering if you could get a team mission for us to do together. Team Seven hasn't really done anything with teamwork for a while and...I kinda miss it..."
"Hn..." her sensei said, thoughtfully scratching his chin, "Sasuke's mission ends in two weeks. But I guess after that I can get you guys a team mission."
"Really?!?!? ARIGATOU SENSEI!!!" Sakura lit up and hugged him. Kakashi looked stunned for a second then patted her on the head. She pulled away and called over her shoulder as she ran, "I'm going to go train for a while!! JA!!!!"
Kakashi watched as his student ran happily to the forest to train. 'They've grown a lot.' He thought, 'They're getting farther apart with these missions. It would e nice to get them a team mission once in a while...have them stay in touch with one another...'
There was the rustling of cloth somewhere in the room. It was silent, except for the muffled voices of people outside doing whatnot.
Sasuke groggily opened his eyes and stared above him, trying to recall what happened before he passed out. Yeah, that was right, Itachi was chasing him and knocked him out...
"GAH!!!" he quickly sat up, kunai quivering in his hand. Shimata!! That meant Itachi basically kidnapped him and for what reason...he didn't want to know.
"I see you are awake, brother." Sasuke looked to the corner of the room to see his aniki hanging up his discarded cloak. "What are you so afraid of?"
"D-don't come n-near me." Sasuke threatenedly held the knife in front, ready to attack if his brother took a step closer. Itachi sighed and walked over, slapping away the kunai and sat down next to him. Sasuke took the time to see his surroundings for any means of escape.
He was in a bed, full dressed (thank god) covered with a light blanket. The place seemed to be that rickety worn down house his brother tried to force him into. The curtains were ragged and closed but the place seemed like it had been used recently. Itachi grabbed his chin and forced the boy to look into his red eyes.
"Now tell me." He whispered, "Where is the kyuubi?" Sasuke blinked.
"W-wait a minute. Is that the ONLY reason you dragged me over here?" the younger Uchiha asked, hopefully. Itachi raised an eyebrow.
"Why else?" he asked.
"Oh, so you weren't going to rape me?" Sasuke said in relief.
"And I would do that because...?" Itachi was now looking strangely at his younger brother. "You're a lot more weirder than the last time I saw you."
"Hn."
"So, where is the Kyuubi??" Itachi asked again.
"Why do you want to know??" his younger brother huffed, "It's not like I would tell YOU and can't you just find out yourself?? It's not that hard...considering he's the number one loudest ninja..."
"Hn..." Itachi looked at him thoughtfully for a while then leaned over to whisper in his ear, "There are people after me in Konoha, you know. Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll have the Kyuubi come to me."
"Eh?" Sasuke blinked again, "And how are you going to do that?"
"And they call you the Uchiha prodigy." His older brother shook his head as if someone had just died...not like he would care, "Clearly, they probably mistaken you for me."
"Urusei!! I'm NOTHING like you!!" Sasuke hissed. "What do you mean you'll have Naruto come to you? Why would Naruto come to you anyways?"
"Well, brother, let's just say I'm not going to let you go for a while." Itachi smirked. The younger Uchiha blinked as these words registered in his mind.
"NANI?!?!?!?!?!" He yelled as realization hit. "So you're using me as bait?!?!?!?! Just to get that Dobe over here???"
"That would be correct." His brother nodded, "NOW you finally get it."
"NANI?!?!?!?" Sasuke screeched again, "I'm on a mission you know!! You know what? Screw the mission, I'm going to kill you right here right now!!"
"Why are you acting so stupid, otouto?" Itachi sighed, "I'm disappointed, I expected more of you...at least plan out your strategies..."
"........." After a long pause, Sasuke asked, "How'd you know it was me?"
"How could I not know?" his older brother smirked, "No matter how girlish you look, you're still Sasuke. Oh that and the fact you forgot to hide your chakra..."
'......kuso...' Sasuke mentally slapped himself for being so stupid. Itachi stood up.
"I'm going to get you something to eat. Escaping is useless so don't even try it." he strolled across the room and disappeared out the rickety door. Not paying mind to what his brother said, Sasuke quickly pushed back the blanket and jumped out of bed and bolted toward the window. Before he took a step, something jerked him back and he fell smacked down to the floor.
"I told you escaping is useless." Itachi's voice came from somewhere in another part of the house. Sasuke growled and colorful curses came out of his mouth as he examined the chain his brother had tied around his wrist to the bedpost. Ok, so kunai and shuriken were out of the question to cut the metal chains. Might as well try a jutsu.
"You're hopeless." Itachi had come back with a tray. "Didn't I tell you escaping is useless? And those chains absorb your chakra if you try a jutsu."
"CHIKUSO!!!" the younger Uchiha roared in anger and frustration. "WHY ARE YOU SO EVIL ANIKI?!?! I HATE YOU!!!!"
"I love you too, otouto, you might want something to eat. If you starve to death, then that's your problem." Itachi disappeared out of the room again, leaving the tray on the bed. Sasuke sat on the floor with his arms crossed for a while, breathing deeply to calm down and think. Maybe he could hack off the bedpost. A quick look told him it was impossible. The bedpost was made of metal.
"CHIKUSO!!" he slumped on the bed and glared darkly at the tray his brother left him. There were rice balls, his favorite, with a cup of water. His stomach rumbled. Might as well eat before mulling over escape plans. At first he hesitated, since his brother was capable of poisoning him. Then remembering he was bait for Naruto, so he needed to be kept alive, Sasuke took a rice ball and plopped it into his mouth. Not bad. He reached for another one.
"Tsunade-sama, will you stop pacing already, I'm sure he's fine." Kakashi said from his book. "It's not like he'll betray the village again, ne?"
"That wouldn't be unlikely though." The hokage walked around her room in another full circle, "It's just that, Sasuke-kun is never late. In fact, he's usually very early. Argh, I told him to come here at 8:00 P.M sharp!!"
"Why are yo so worried?" the silver-haired Jounin asked, "He IS an Uchiha after all."
"I'm not worried." Tsunade snapped, "Grr...the nerve of him to be late!! He didn't give me back my book!! I need it!!" Kakashi stared at her with his eyebrow raised.
"I see..." he returned to his Come Come Paradise. Suddenly, a blur of blond hair barged into the room, waving a hand enthusiastically.
"TSUNADE-BABA!!!" Naruto sang, "Is your niece here????"
"OF COURSE HE ISN'T!!!" she roared, vein popping in annoyance.
"Ano...he?" the blond cocked his head in confusion. "Wait, isn't she your niece and aren't nieces shes and so, why are you calling Kamite-san a he?"
"Ahh...I was...uh...I was thinking of the wrong person." Tsunade told him, lamely. Thank god Naruto's an idiot, since he nodded in understanding.
"So...where is she??" the blond grinned.
"Why do you want to know?" Tsunade asked, sweetly, "Are you...I don't know...attracted to her or something?" Naruto vigorously shook his head.
"Dame, dame!!" he yelled, "I just wanted to know where she is that's all."
"Are you sure??" Tsunade teased, "You've already pestered me about all her likes and dislikes this afternoon and continuously asked me where she is for three hours straight."
"Ok, I admit...she's cute." Naruto muttered, blushing. The Fifth Hokage stared, a grin spreading across her face.
"Excuse me for a second." She said and then went outside her room into the hall to laugh her ass off. A few minutes later, she returned back inside to her desk, looking as if nothing was wrong, but that grin still lingered.
"So you think she's cute?? Really?? Hn..." the Hokage said thoughtfully, "Oi, Naruto. I have a mission for you. It's a B-class mission."
"NANI?! ?!" Naruto's ears perked up, interested. "Nani desu ka?? Nani?? Nani?? Nani??"
"My niece, Sasu-I mean, Sora, was sent on a mission to spy at the Hidden Sand Village and she hasn't returned yet." Tsunade told him. "I want you to go to the Hidden Sand to see why h-she hasn't come back yet."
"So you mean she might've been caught?!?!?" Naruto gasped, "I accept!! I'm going now!! Ja!!" and he sped out of the room to rescue 'Sora'.
"AND TELL HER TO GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK!!" the fifth hokage yelled after the blond.
"Gah...iyaaa...STUPID ANIKI!! I HATE YOU!!!!"
"How many times do I have tell you, otouto, you can't escape, it's hopeless." Itachi sighed and crossed his arms, watching amusedly at his brother's failed attempts. Sasuke was breathing and panting hard and perspiration ran down his neck.
"CHIKUSO!!!" he yelled and prepared for another Chidori attack, his 3rd attempt today...not a good thing as Kakashi said that he could only do two per day.
"You're going to kill yourself if you try that again." The older Uchiha rolled his eyes and then walked out of the room. Sasuke gritted his teeth as he felt chakra being absorbed from his body to the annoying chains. His hands were already burned raw and the chains and bedposts had numerous small dents and scratched where he had tried to break them with his kunai and shuriken, none successful.
"Just...one...more...try..." the dark-haired Chuunin tried to concentrate the chakra into his hand in a lightening way. Little static of chakra made their way to his hand and they slowly build up into what looked like a ball of crackling lightening, only to be absorbed into those stupid chains. Finally, exhausted, Sasuke fell back to the bed and rested against the sheets.
Itachi, who had been watching his brother's pathetic attempts, shook his head as if someone had just died.
"When will you learn?" he walked to a broken down kitchen to prepare himself something to eat. It was getting late and he could write a ransom note tomorrow. Let them worry a bit for now...
Itachi was just adding ingredients to the Miso soup he was making when a sudden crash made him look up. Who was that...? The missing-nin quietly peered into the hall, where he saw a figure on his butt, cursing colorfully under his breath.
"Naruto-kun?" he asked, surprised that the Hokage had already sent someone to look for his brother. The blond looked up.
"Hn?" Naruto cocked his head, a bit dazed from the fall, "Oh, it's you." Itachi stared. How could Naruto speak so calmly to him when he knew why Sasuke wanted to kill him? "Hn..." the blond walked over and looked up to meet his Sharingan eyes, "When'd you get so tall, Sasuke?" The older Uchiha boy stared.
"I'm not-" he started to say.
"Ah well, I'm on a mission to rescue someone."
"I'm not Sasu-"
"I have to look for Sora, the old hag's niece, have you seen her?"
"Who-"
"People here said they saw her getting carried to this house."
"What-"
"Wait a minute, they saw someone like you carry her."
"Naru-"
"So YOU kidnapped her???"
"Who-"
"WHAT THE HELL!?!? DID YOU DO SOMETHING TO HERE???"
"Listen-"
"YOU BETTER HAVE NOT TOUCHED HER, BASTARD!!"
"I'm not-"
"I WON'T FORGIVE YOU IF YOU DID!!!"
"WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP AND LISTEN TO ME???" Itachi yelled, getting very annoyed right now. "I'M...NOT...SASUKE!!"
"I WILL KICK YOUR-wait, you're not??" Naruto blinked then took several steps back, "No way!! You're Uchiha Itachi!! What the hell are you doing here??"
"Thank you for finally realizing who I am." The Uchiha boy growled. "And who the hell is this 'Sora' person?"
"Hn? She's Tsunade's niece." The blond answered, "Wait a minute, why am I telling you, you should know, after all, you kidnapped her!!"
"I didn't kidnap anyone!! Ok, yes, I did, but it's not-"
"NANI?!?!? THEN IT MUST BE HER!!" Naruto rushed past the stunned Itachi, who was gaping at where the blond was standing moments ago. Damn, his head hurt...
"Gah, what am I doing?? The Kyuubi was just there within my grasps!!" Itachi whirled around to chase after Naruto. He suddenly ran to the room where he imprisoned his brother. There he found Naruto trying to prod an unconscious Sasuke awake.
"Oi, Kamite-san, wake up." The dark-haired Chuunin opened his eyes.
"Hn...Naruto?? What the hell are you doing here?" he blinked, trying to see if the blond in front of him was real or not.
"I'm here to rescue you!!" he said, cheerfully.
'Nani?? Rescue me my ass. I can rescue my self.' He thought bitterly and then brought his hand up and tried to whisper, "Chi...Chidor...Chido..."
"Don't worry!! I'll get you out!!" Naruto said and began to hack at the metal chains with a kunai.
"Baka, that won't work, don't you think I've tried that before." Sasuke rolled his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he remembered something, "Naruto, um...Naruto-kun?" he remembered to add that suffix, "Listen, you better get out of here. Ani-I mean, Itachi is after you, you know."
"Let him try!!" Naruto announced, boldly.
Itachi watched them, amused. 'Ah...so that's who this mysterious 'Sora' is? What a funny name, otouto...hn...I see what the cross-dressing was for...I'll play along too.' And stepped into the room to reveal himself. "So that's the girl you were talking about??" he said, smirking at his brother, who shot a death glare at him.
"Don't come any nearer!!" Naruto sprang protectively in front of Sasuke, holding out his dented knife. "I'll...I'll kill you!! Well, I won't cause that's Sasuke's job, but I'll beat you to a pulp!!"
"My pathetic brother can't kill me, he's too weak." Itachi's lip curled, "Especially when he's feeling so helpless right now, ne?" Sasuke growled. It was true, there was nothing he could do to help Naruto. The chains would suck up his chakra and his weapons-
'Wait!! That's it!!' Sasuke thought. 'I can still throw my weapons!'
"Don't say that about Sasuke!!" Naruto spat, viciously, "He's gotten a lot stronger these past years and he will beat you someday!!" the dark- haired Chuunin looked at him in disbelief. Naruto... said that about him...? Itachi smirked.
"Hn...never knew you were so...friendly with my brother." He said. "Now, Kyuubi, I will take you power." And looked straight into the blond's eyes.
"Naruto-kun!! Look away!!" Sasuke shouted, knowing his older brother was going to do. Too late, Itachi were staring straight into the brilliant blue eyes.
"For 72 hours you will be continually stabbed with these katana." Itachi whispered, smirking. Naruto bit his lip, not to scream out, but tears ran freely down his cheeks in pain.
'Kuso!!' Sasuke grabbed his abandoned kunai and threw it at his brother, who caught it with ease.
"Gomen otouto, the Kyuubi is mine." He smirked, swinging the knife with one finger, "Oh and you have served your purpose. I have no need of you now." And directed the kunai to Sasuke, who froze at what his brother was going to do.

"I didn't kidnap anyone!! Ok, yes, I did, but it's not-"
"NANI?!?!? THEN IT MUST BE HER!!" Naruto rushed past the stunned Itachi, who was gaping at where the blond was standing moments ago. Damn, his head hurt...
"Gah, what am I doing?? The Kyuubi was just there within my grasps!!" Itachi whirled around to chase after Naruto. He suddenly ran to the room where he imprisoned his brother. There he found Naruto trying to prod an unconscious Sasuke awake.
"Oi, Kamite-san, wake up." The dark-haired Chuunin opened his eyes.
"Hn...Naruto?? What the hell are you doing here?" he blinked, trying to see if the blond in front of him was real or not.
"I'm here to rescue you!!" he said, cheerfully.
'Nani?? Rescue me my ass. I can rescue my self.' He thought bitterly and then brought his hand up and tried to whisper, "Chi...Chidor...Chido..."
"Don't worry!! I'll get you out!!" Naruto said and began to hack at the metal chains with a kunai.
"Baka, that won't work, don't you think I've tried that before." Sasuke rolled his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he remembered something, "Naruto, um...Naruto-kun?" he remembered to add that suffix, "Listen, you better get out of here. Ani-I mean, Itachi is after you, you know."
"Let him try!!" Naruto announced, boldly.
Itachi watched them, amused. 'Ah...so that's who this mysterious 'Sora' is? What a funny name, otouto...hn...I see what the cross-dressing was for...I'll play along too.' And stepped into the room to reveal himself. "So that's the girl you were talking about??" he said, smirking at his brother, who shot a death glare at him.
"Don't come any nearer!!" Naruto sprang protectively in front of Sasuke, holding out his dented knife. "I'll...I'll kill you!! Well, I won't cause that's Sasuke's job, but I'll beat you to a pulp!!"
"My pathetic brother can't kill me, he's too weak." Itachi's lip curled, "Especially when he's feeling so helpless right now, ne?" Sasuke growled. It was true, there was nothing he could do to help Naruto. The chains would suck up his chakra and his weapons-
'Wait!! That's it!!' Sasuke thought. 'I can still throw my weapons!'
"Don't say that about Sasuke!!" Naruto spat, viciously, "He's gotten a lot stronger these past years and he will beat you someday!!" the dark- haired Chuunin looked at him in disbelief. Naruto... said that about him...? Itachi smirked.
"Hn...never knew you were so...friendly with my brother." He said. "Now, Kyuubi, I will take you power." And looked straight into the blond's eyes.
"Naruto-kun!! Look away!!" Sasuke shouted, knowing his older brother was going to do. Too late, Itachi were staring straight into the brilliant blue eyes.
"For 72 hours you will be continually stabbed with these katana." Itachi whispered, smirking. Naruto bit his lip, not to scream out, but tears ran freely down his cheeks in pain.
'Kuso!!' Sasuke grabbed his abandoned kunai and threw it at his brother, who caught it with ease.
"Gomen otouto, the Kyuubi is mine." He smirked, swinging the knife with one finger, "Oh and you have served your purpose. I have no need of you now." And directed the kunai to Sasuke, who froze at what his brother was going to do.
