Can Love Overcome All Obstacles

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…except for the OCs

Summary: What if Itachi ain't the one who killed the Uchiha clan? It was just a misunderstanding? While chasing after Naruto, would he be able to find someone he can open up to? Some facts had been changed. But hope you will still like it! Read and Review! Enjoy!

At the entrance of Sedano,

"Move aside!" a voice sounded. The two Chunnins guarding the gates of Sedano turned to see two kunais at a high speed, moving towards them.

Splat! Splat!

The sound of blood splattering reached their ears.

"Let's go." Itachi commanded walking into the town of Sedano, barely flinching at the sight of the two dead bodies.

With Naruto and Jiraiya,

"Come on Naruto! Let's go faster. We have to find Tsunade before the stupid snake, Orochimaru does!" Jiraiya exclaimed.

"NANI? Can't she protect herself?" Naruto asked. No answer came. Gritting his teeth, Naruto had no choice but to go faster to catch up with Jiraiya.

Bam!

Fruits flew all over the place. The juice that the female was holding had been spilt all over…

"S-Sorry… sorry! I was n-not watching where I-I was heading … Gomen…" came a soft voice of a female.

"ARGH! Watch where you're going! Understand?" Yakashimi cried out in frustration. (Yep... poor Yakashimi…)

"Sorry… sorry… I'll help y—" but before the female could complete her sentence, Itachi cut in.

"Forget it Yakashimi, she's a female." Itachi said coldly.

"I'm re-really s-sorry… is t-there anything I c-can do to h-help?" the female asked with a trembling voice.

"Who are you? It's rather late. Why are you still out here?" Itachi asked suspiciously.

The female lifted her head to show a beautiful young face.

"Gomen… I really did not mean to bang into you…" she said to the sulking Yakashimi. "I'm Yingxue… my sensei wanted to drink fruit juices. Thus I came out to get her some." The female named Yingxue said.

Itachi looked at her. There was a slight pause before he said. "Yingxue. That's a nice name." he complimented.

Yakashimi's jaw dropped. It's not common to hear Itachi complimenting people. 'Haha… Itachi... you like her don't you?' Yakashimi thought to himself with a stupid grin plastered on his face.

"Thank you." was all Yingxue could say. Itachi felt something tingle in his heart. A feeling he had never had before for any girl. 'This one is special…' Itachi told himself.

"Dear lord! I'm late! Sorry I have to go…" with that Yingxue sped away.

"HEY! Remember that you still owe me for dirtying my clothes!" Yakashimi shouted out to Yingxue. "Darn! I hate washing!" he grumbled.

While walking, Yakashimi broke the silence.

"So… she is special huh?" Yakashimi asked.

"Nani?" Itachi calmly countered.

"AHA! Finally… Uchiha Itachi is falling in love!" Yakashimi said as he grinned and walked away.

"What nonsense!" Itachi exclaimed. But deep down, he knew that there was some truth in that sentence. Grinning, Itachi thought to himself, 'what an extraordinary guy...'

Yingxue sat beside the window, thinking of the guy she just bumped into just now. But in all that hustle, she only heard his name distantly. 'Itachi. That's his name…I think…if I didn't hear wrongly.' Yingxue thought as she twirled her hair and played with her fingers, wondering if she would ever get to meet them again.

"Yingxue? Where are you? Tsunade's voice rang throughout the whole house. But, being in deep thought, Yingxue could not hear her.

"Ying—" Tsunade walked into Yingxue's room to see her daydreaming.

"Who are you dreaming about?" Tsunade asked jokingly.

"Huh? Tsunade sensei" Yingxue cried out and bowed her head blushingly.

"You can tell me you know? It's a guy. Am I right?" Tsunade teased.

"I-I… erm…" Yingxue blushed, trying to change the topic.

"Never mind. Sleep early dear." Tsunade said and left the room. Leaving poor Yingxue, blushing like a tomato, thinking, 'is sensei alright?'

Next morning:

"We're here! Jiraiya exclaimed, smiling. Finally, he could now find Tsunade.

"Ar! … I-I…" Naruto whined and fell down.

"Silly boy!" Jiraiya said with a smile, picked up Naruto and headed for the nearest hotel.

At the Gambling Den,

"S-Sensei… I think you should s-stop…" Yingxue tried coaxing Tsunade softly.

"Shh! don't disturb me! I'm lucky today." Tsunade shooed Yingxue.

As usual, Tsunade and Yingxue were at the gambling den. But, the thing that was surprising was Tsunade's luck! Her luck today was amazing! But Tsunade knew that something was about to happen… something strange. But she just couldn't figure out what's going to happen.

"Tsunade! You really should stop!" Jiraiya said, appearing behind her.

Tsunade paused. "Jiraiya! I was waiting for you. Come let's go some where else to talk." Tsunade said walking out of the gambling den.

At the restaurant,

"NO! I am not going to be the Fifth Hokage!" Tsunade's voice boomed.

"Come on Tsunade! You're the best candidate! You know it!" Jiraiya pleaded.

"Ano sa! Ano sa! What is this all about? Ero-sennin? You want this obbachan to be the Godaime Hokage?" Naruto shouted out ridiculously.

"NANI? Who are you calling obbachan?" Tsunade asked with her hands clenched together preparing to beat up Naruto.

"Naruto!" Jiraiya scolded. "The post of the Godaime Hokage must be given to Tsunade!" Jiraiya said with a strict voice.

"B-But… why?" Naruto asked. A little disappointed. Tsunade clamed down a little by now, as Yingxue tried all means to calm her down.

"Tsunade was the First Hokage's granddaughter. And during the war, she contributed greatly to Konoha and is also the best medic Nin Konoha has ever produced." Jiraiya said.

"B-But… she is a gambler! Is that allowed if she is made the Hokage?" Naruto asked unhappily.

"S-Sorry to interrupt… I-I need to go to the ladies." Yingxue said asking permission from Tsunade. Only receiving a nod to show that she could.

"No matter what. Konoha now needs a Hokage to rule the village!" Jiraiya said shutting Naruto.

Suddenly, there was a black out. The winds howled and two cloaked people walked into the restaurant.

The electricity fizzled and sparked before returning to its original brightness.

"… You are…" Jiraiya's voice questioned.

"None of your business." Itachi's voice replied. "We're here to get Uzumaki."

"Yep! We're here to get Uzumaki!" chirped Yakashimi.

"Uchiha Itachi." Jiraiya said, realizing who they were.

"Ahh… the famous sennin… Jiraiya." Itachi drawled. At that point of time, Yingxue came out of the toilet.

"Get lost before I kill you!" Tsunade said with a cold voice.

Realizing who Tsunade was talking about, Yingxue rushed out and held on to Tsunade's hand.

"Tsunade-sama…" Yingxue said softly. "Calm down…"

"Arr! You? You're not holding any kind of juices are you?" Yakashimi asked clinging onto Itachi. "I hate washing clothes!"

"No… I'm n-not…" Yingxue said, laughter slipping quietly into her voice. That really calmed Yakashimi down.

"Give me a good reason why I should not kill them! Tsunade demanded.

"T-That's because… B-Because…. Sensei… p-please…" Yingxue begged. Seeing that her sensei was unhappy, she really wanted to give in… but something. Something in her made her preserver in her decision.

"Yingxue! What's wrong with you? Do you know who are they?" Tsunade asked with a angry voice.

"Sensei… I… I…" Yingxue said falling to her knees, tugging at Tsunade's clothes. Suddenly, a hand grabbed hers and pulled her away.

"There's no point… no point begging… Yingxue…" Itachi said softly. Stunned, Yingxue kept quiet and stayed aside.

"Itachi…" was all Yingxue could manage.

Finally! The second chappie completed. Hope you liked it! Review and give me your comments!
