Chapter 9

Itachi's secret

A/N: I do not own the Naruto characters -

"Shiroi Dori Jutsu!" Sasuke waited patiently to see the effects but there was nothing… 'Kusa! What's going on?'

Sasuke thought. Right after he thought this a thousand Naruto came out of nowhere! They jumped towards Itachi,

Sasuke's patience was running out. "Naruto Baka! Get the hell out of here or I'll kill you!" Naruto ignored him and

punched Itachi. 'He didn't miss…why?' Sasuke was surprised Naruto turned to face Sasuke, "You bastard your own

revenge is more Important to you than Sakura. Your next." He said with a death glare. "Sasuke ignored what Naruto

said and thought, 'He must have learned that technique while he was with Jiraya.' Sakura was unconscious, 'she

should be safe there.' He picked her up and lay her gently under a tree.

"Sasuke…" Itachi said with cold eyes. "Why is this shrimp stronger than you?"

Sasuke's eyes twitched and an angry/ serious expression formed on his face. "He's not stronger than me." He was

really irritated by Naruto's presence he couldn't even concentrate on the battle. "Naruto I said get out of here!"

Sasuke threw his arm carelessly while he spoke this. Naruto didn't even turn to face Sasuke, but spoke nevertheless,

"If you cant protect Sakura from danger than I will," after a 5 second pause he said, " Your useless from when the time

you ran and hid from your brother while he slaughtered the clan to now where you put your own team member in

danger." Sasuke was tired of Naruto's blah blah for some reason what Naruto said didn't hurt him not even a bit he

just said, "Naruto orusai! You don't even know the beginning of it all." Saying this he ran past Naruto and formed 4

seals and gave his jutsu another shot, "Shiroi Dori Jutsu!" He called, This time it had worked Sasuke gave a smirk and

said , "Its over." Not even ten seconds later Itachi stood behind Sasuke and held on hard to his throat. Naruto threw a

kunai to stop him from gripping so tight but it was useless. Itachi too was beginning to lose his patience. "It was useless

to let you survive. You're a weakling like all the others…,"he said ," Your weaker." Itachi closed his eyes and

tightened his grip.

Meanwhile Naruto was observing the log that was in flames, 'No one…could survive that." He thought ,'Sasuke…got

so strong… Its scary.' Of course he only thought that he would never admit it. He could hear "naghwuto bawka!" it

was then that he realized Sasuke was in a grave situation, 'Maybe he wasn't thaaaat strong.' Naruto jumped to Itachi

and with one thrust of Itachi's arm fell back against the tree. Itachi dropped Sasuke on the floor.

3 days later…

Sasuke woke up in a room full of banners and party stuff. He rubbed his eye and sat up. Sakura who wasn't sitting far

from him gave him a smile. 'Whats going on?' It was then that he remembered the battle with Itachi. "Sakura! Where is

he!" Sasuke stood up. Sakura's expression changed. "Itachi… He's… dead." Sakura was afraid to look him in the

face. "You told me to live… I woke up and saw both Naruto and you Unconscious… then…" She stopped to see his

expression it was like 'WHAT!' … "But Sasuke the worst part is… it wasn't Itachi." Sasuke closed his eyes for a

moment and said, "What do you mean it wasn't Itachi?" Sasuke saw a tear drop on her hand. " He … Didn't kill you

clan!" She burst out and jumped in his arms. "Sasuke just stood there with his eyes blinking. " Sakura that's not true…

I saw it with my own eyes." She continued to weep.

"Sasuke- If only you knew!" She hugged him tighter and cried more. Sasuke embraced her back and said, "Sakura tell

me."
