Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Naruto mangas but I have borrowed my friend's (a lot)
Summery: Sakura gets fed up with always being the weakest and runs away. Six years later the Hokage of the town of Konoha is holding a tournament for a mysterious weapon. What happens when a certain missing nin finds her way back? How has she changed? What will her ex-teammates think? (little sasusaku, itasaku)
AN: Special thanx to aredhel falassion (tee hee from me too for they shall meet sooner than you think!), Shinobi Darkbeak (that's so nice of you π.π), ghst.sama (boy, the wait wont be long cause I love putting people in their place), BlackSerpent13 (it's one of my favorite lines too), krista (hehe are we related cause you have no idea how many times I've said that to people!), orochikosama (thank you, you're so sweet), and Goranus (thank you for the suggestion, umm as for what the weapon is that's for you to get annoyed at trying to figure out what it is, and for me to decide before krista kills me) for their reviews. I am glad to see someone in the world likes my writing, please keep sending me reviews good or bad and I will gladly taken any suggestions you may have. All right, back to my insane rantings and ravings…By the way how do you like my constant switches of pov.'s? This chap is Naruto's pov by the way.
Recap: (Sasuke's pov) Then something caught my eye. In the corner of the place was a lone person, dressed entirely in black.
They wore a black cape that hid all of their body except for the bottom of a pair of black boots and their head was completely concealed by a large black hood.
The person, be it male or female I could not tell, was staring directly at us. I was about to get up and see who this noisy person was when Naruto slapped me on the back and said "What the hell you staring at bastard!"
I turned to him, "None of your business dope."
When I turned back to face the person again they had gone. I looked around to see were they had gone but I could find no trace of the black hooded figure…

Chapter 3: The Cloaked Man
'What the hell is that bastard staring at! And why the hell does he always do this. I mean he's always a distant, stuck up, self centered Jake ass, but today it's like he's high or something, off in his own pitiful world…wait what day is it again, oh yeah that's why. Today is the day she disappeared.'
'Well he's not the only one who misses her!'
I shook my head vigorously, I missed her a lot and I was on the verge of crying…again.
Luckily Ino interrupted my thoughts before I could cry…again.
"Hey are you both trying out for the tournament next week?"
"Of course" I said with a smile.
"What about you Sasuke-kun?" Ino said fluttering her eyelashes.
"Hn"
'Does that Bastrad say anything but that?'
"What do you guys think the prize weapon is?"
"Must be something really really big if the Hokage hasn't told anybody and I'm going to find out when I win!"
"Or it could be a trick to capture dangerous nin, since the rules state the anyone of any age, background, and form any town can enter. Dope." Sasuke muttered coldly as he looked around the room.
'What the hell has gotten into him?…Hey I'm no dope! That's it that Bastards paying for that! And, huh…'
My thoughts were interrupted by and small fight taking place in the middle of the ramen bar. On one side stood an incredibly drunken man, he was very big and muscular and was stumbling dizzily as he was egged on by his friends (or rather what I assume are his friends).
One the other side stood a lone person. A black cloak hid their body and a black hood hid their face. They were either a mid-to-tall woman or a short guy but I couldn't tell cause they were completely covered by black.
"Whad der you starin' at bubbiee" slurred the drunk man as he walked forward, being slightly pushed by his 'friends.'
The cloaked man just stood there not moving and not saying and word.
I suddenly shuddered. 'Who ever that is I have a feeling they are not someone that guy want's to mess with.'
The drunk man finally fond his footing and stepped so that he was less than a foot away from the cloaked man.
Breathing heavily he barked, "do ya wanta fight! Huh!"
Again the cloaked man held his ground not moving and not saying a word.
Aggravated at his opponent's lack of interest, the drunken man took a swing. This, of course, was easily dodged by the cloaked man.
Form no where a familiar voice called out; "I would not trouble her if I were you."
"Itachi" Sasuke growled.
Again the voice warned, "You may end up biting off more then you can chew…"
This time the voice came from behind us. But when we turn there was no one there.
Once more everyone's attention focused on the fight that had started in the middle of the room.
The drunken man looked confused but soon remembered that he had a fight to finish.
"I don't see what makes you so special!" he shouted as he longed forward with another punch.
But before the drunken idiot was even 3 feet away, the cloaked man stepped forward and with one punch sent the man flying into his 'friends' and sent all of them across the room.
I was shocked.
'Wow that person must be really powerful. I wonder what they're doing in Konoha?'
As soon as the action was completed the slender arm covered by a long black glove snaked back under the owner's cloak.
After approving of his own work the cloaked man threw some money at the own (for damage, etc.) and exited the bar out into the rain.

'Damn stupid drunks'
'So there's a tournament for a special weapon, huh? Maybe I can spare a few more days in the desolate town…'
I chuckled under my cloak.
'It's been a long time since I've had a worthy challenge and this tournament might just be the place for such.'
"Hey you, stop!" called a familiar voice, one I haven't heard in years…

AN: Okay for those of you who didn't catch on, the person speaking above is the 'cloaked man' who is also the person speaking in my first chapter. And I know I know, Itachi said her, but remember Naruto is not that bright. For Naruto fans, I'm sorry but it's the truth, it hurts for some, not for me though (hehe sorry). And I know the chapter ended on a little cliff hanger but obladi oblada. Please tell me what you think and I will try my hardest to get the next chapter up by next week. Oh and do you guy's like me thanking people individually who review before each chapter or is it annoying. If it's annoying then I'll stop if not I'll continue. Thank you please review, love you all. Bye till next time.
