Time Limit

Chapter # 11

On their way to Tsunade's; Sakura and Sasuke grew awfullu quiet, not a word passed between the two. Everything seemed normal, when in reality nothing felt normal, not yet, this needed to be solved quickly.

'Obito..' Sasuke's thoughts weren't much different from Sakura's….

'kusa' his mind cursed.

At last they reached Tsunade-Sama's, and were surprised to see a certain someone else.. Jiraya?

"Make yourselves comfortable." She said keeping a steady gaze on them.

After they seated themselves on the Tartami mats Tsunade lowered her head, shut her eyes and spoke, "…Uchiha Sasuke" She put and Emphasis on 'Uchiha' , and looked Sasuke directly in the eye.

"Uchiha Obito..Was, as you already know… Kakashi's comrade. Their relationship can easily be compared to yours and naruto's. Anyways," she broke eye contact with Sasuke. "Its important that you know, Obito was long dead before the massacre of the Uchiha clan. It makes sense for confusion to arise at this, yet… there IS an explanation-"

"Tsunade" Jiraya cut her off, standing up slowly. "Its time for that appointment now."

"ahh" she sighed and smiled a tired smile. "well then your dismissed."

Sasuke's face grew tense "Finish what you started." he demanded.

'Sasuke…' Sakura thought.

Tsunade, however, didn't hesitate a bit, and went on as smoothly as before with gathering her coat and papers. "I gave you all the information needed to figure it out," With her back facing the genins, " If you really cared about your clan, You would know."

Sasuke suppressing his anger sat quietly for a moment. He let out a grunt and walked out the room,

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura followed him.

After a moment of silence Jiraya speaks,"Tsunade, I'm going to let Naruto know about the deal Itachi and Obito had made, It'll help Sasuke remember." Saying this he exits the room.

Tsunade stares into nothingness a moment "yare yare…" she shuts the lights and also leaves.

---------------------------------

"Itadakemazu!" Naruto shouts Excitedly before gorging into the Bowl of Ramen standing in front of him. 'I wonder if anything happened between Sakura and Sasuke…. There acting differently towards one another. Maybe Sasuke likes Sakura back.. And she knows that would mean! No…Its more serious than that…hmm Maybe their planning to Elope!No maybe not. Sakura-chan….Whatever it is I hope she is ok.'

His thoughts were interrupted by a soft feminine voice. "Naruto-kun.." Naruto turned his head "hn?"

'huh?' his thoughts and her sudden appearance made him feel awkward. "Hinata.."

He said softly. She ,now too, began feeling awkward 'Oh no Naruto is acting weird." She began blushing.

Naruto shook his head and made his usual huuuuge smile, "Wanna eat some ramen?"

"Naruto- kun… I uh umm I-I" 'He's inviting me to ramen…!' " I have t-to train with Kiba-kun."

Naruto wasn't surprised, he couldn't imagine her sitting relaxed for a minute while eating ramen with him , why did she get that way anyways? Was she that way with everyone or just him… hmmm. He wondered.

"Naruto." Jiraya stood between him and Hinata. "Nani Ero-sennin? (What perverted hermit)

"You'll have to excuse us Hinata-chan." Jiraya smiled

"hm." she smiled and walked off somewhat relieved.

"Naruto. You should have already noticed the change between Sakura and Sasuke, you guys are drifting apart… You need to strengthen your team and involve yourself more with them…But more importantly, you should know something else."

Naruto was paying full attention, and was glad Jiraya was talking to him about what was bothering him so much.

"Obito and Itachi's deal."

"A deal?" Naruto had clearly been confused at this statement and stayed alert.

"Hm.." Jiraya had his arms folded on the table and closed his eyes for a moment before continuing. Obito and Itachi had been opposites, though from the same clan their characters bore not many similarities. They were neither rivals, nor friends. They were distant cousins. They both loved their clan yet both contributed largely in destroying it. sigh Itachi was very proud though and couldn't afford turning down this deal. Sasuke was there when they made the deal. A young boy of 5 years. Their deal was…."

A long pause "What was it?" Naruto was waiting intently on the answer.

"their existence over the clan's existence."

"What? I don't understand!" Naruto stood up and held a fist.

"Naruto calm down. If You want to know more remind Sasuke of this. Well then," Jiraya stands up. "I'm leaving." He smiles a dumb smile and leaves. 'Talk to Sasuke…" He sits himself heavily back down.
