"Ohhhh Sakura-chan!" called Naruto. Sakura's ears pricked up at the voice. She started walking a little faster, pretending not to hear Naruto.

"Oi, Sakura-chan!" Naruto called again, louder this time. Sakura walked faster then- smack!

With a poof of smoke Naruto appeared in front of her. "Sakura-chan! Why are you ignoring me?" he asked, hurt showing in his voice. "I have a letter for you!"

Sakura glanced at the letter in his hand. 'It must be from Itachi!' she thought excitedly. Her face instantly lighting up with a smile she grinned at Naruto and said, "Sorry Naruto! I didn't hear you!" When Naruto looked at her with one eyebrow raised, Sakura plucked the letter out of his hand. "Thanks Naruto!"

Trying to control the excitement, she slowly ripped the envelope open. At the end of the letter, it was signed – "Itachi." Noticing that a few people were trying to read her letter, Sakura hastily stuffed the paper back into the envelope and then she excused herself.

"Ahh… I think I'll start training now! Bye!" she called. Without waiting for answer from her friends, she ran off.

Sakura didn't notice that Sasuke had been watching her all day. 'There's something wrong with Sakura' he thought to himself. 'And the letter looked pretty suspicious.' Turning to Naruto he grabbed him by the jacket.

"Who gave you the letter?" he demanded not realizing that Naruto's feet were slightly lifting off the ground. Naruto struggled out of Sauske's grip.

"Why should I tell you?" he pouted, not liking the sudden attack.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. He really could not be bothered explaining to a dim-wit like Naruto.

"Maybe it has anthrax in it or something." He said sarcastically, "and when Sakura breathes that stuff in, she's gonna die…"

Naruto looked at Sasuke with disbelieving eyes. "Are. You. Serious?" he breathed.

Sasuke didn't bother replying.

"But-but-" stammered Naruto, "It was just an old women who wanted Sakura to baby sit a cat for her or something."

Sasuke retrained himself from rolling his eyes. Anyone could have transformed into an innocent old lady. Naruto kept on talking.

"I peeked over her shoulders when she opened the letter. It was signed something like- Inata or Ichigo or something like that…"

A name flashed up before Sasuke's eyes.

Itachi.

"NARUTO! WHICH WAY DID SAKURA GO?"


After memorizing the letter, Sakura scrunched up the letter and set it alight. Making sure that every bit of the letter had turned into ash, she turned around to go.

Suddenly she stopped and sharpened her senses. Someone was coming. Then she forced herself to smile.

"Sasuke! What a pleasant surprise! Are you going to train with me today?" she asked, making her voice high and flirty.

Sasuke ignored her question. "Show me the letter!" he demanded, madness showing in his eyes.

"What letter?" asked Sakura innocently, opening her eyes wide with confusion.

"The letter that Naruto gave you!"

"Oh that one!" exclaimed Sakura, as if she just caught on to what Sasuke was saying, "That was just a letter from Grannie Inoru asking me if I could look after her house while she goes away."

Sasuke noticed a smell of burning. He spotted the ashes at once. "Why did you burn it?" he questioned, eyes narrowing in suspicion. Sakura faltered for a second.

"I- uhh- I –" she stammered. "I was practising a jutsu when it suddenly caught alight. It was an accident. Silly me huh?" she giggled.

"Right." Sasuke said, even though he didn't believe her. In a poof he disappeared.

Instantly Sakura dropped her smile. Walking over to the pile of embers, she stepped on it to crush the paper into powdery residue.

'Itachi-sama,' she thought, 'I'll do my best.'
