Chapter16: Help from an S ranked Criminal!
Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi and Gai's team were all packed and ready to leave. Even Kakashi decided to arrive early, thanks to the help of Sakura. They stared at the large gate that divided Konoha from the rest of the land.

"Let's go we have no time to waste!" Kakashi said, as he led the group on its way.

"Wow, my rival is so hip." Gai said striking a cool guy pose and following right after. Everyone else started to engage in their own little conversations. Knowing that this was the only was to get the fear feeling surrounding them.

"Sakura, maybe you should give Thi a break." TenTen suggested. TenTen noticed Sakura changed her gaze from her to the floor now. She was probably thinking the same thing. In a few minutes, Sakura returned her gaze back at TenTen.

"Yeah. I guess I'll try." Sakura said giving an unsure smile. While TenTen and Sakura we're in there own little conversations, so were Rock-Lee, Naruto and Neji.

"Who is this Thi girl anyways?" Neji asked.

"She's a member of the shin clan. Also the head family member now." Naruto explained.

"Sasuke really cares for her." Lee added. Neji nodded understanding but he still didn't understand why Sasuke would go so far for a girl. Whoever she was she must be important and pretty strong, if everyone wanted her.

On their way to Hidden Village of water, they fought a few battles. Most were pretty easy because they all knew not to play around and get straight to business. It was nightfall when they finally decided to set up camp. It would be another day when they arrive at the village. Each of them knew this wouldn't be an easy task.


Back at the Village.

Thi and Sasuke waited for the whole day. Doing nothing, just hoping for someone to save them. They we're both in a mess from what happened earlier.

"Sasuke, do you think we will get out?" Thi asked, leaning against the wall beside Sasuke. He looked at her, reaching to grab onto her hand.

"What's wrong. You don't enjoy spending all this time with me?" He replied. Thi knew he was trying to make light of the situation.

"You know I like spending time with you. But not like this."

"...I'll make it alittle more enjoyable for you." Sasuke said, leaning forward to kiss Thi. But was soon cut off when the door swung open. Both of them turned their heads looking at the visitor. The person quickly moved right up close to Thi, grabbing onto her neck. Her eyes widen at the figure.

"Tsk, Tsk Thi. You know better then kissing other people when you belong to me." Fai said smirking.

"I'm not your property." Thi yelled, breathing slowly due to Fai's grip.

"I'll kill you." Sasuke yelled. He grabbed a kunai andstroke Fai in the back. His blood slowly dripped onto the floor. Fai let go of Thi, turning his body to face Sasuke. He gave a light chuckle and started to make seals. Out ofnowhere, a light blue aura started to form around his hands. Hesmirked andslowly moulded it into a large Ice shard and throughitat Sasuke. The shard hurled towards Sasuke, Sasuke couldn't react fast enough. He stood there, as the ice shard was a few inches away from him. Out of the blue Thi appeared grabbing onto the shard with her fire-covered hands. Soon enough the shard disappeared, but what was left was Thi. She was bent down, blood covered her hands. She quickly did a few seals, closing the wound. Dragon blood appeared again down the sleeve of her shirt. But this time the size of the demon was much smaller, as small as a pet lizard. The demon hovered over the blood and went up her sleeve again, disappearing, but also making the blood disappear.

"Pitiful." Fai laughed, closing the door of the room.

It was almost midnight when the door creaked open. Sasuke was sound asleep resting his head against the wall, while Thi laid wide-awake. Resting against Sasuke's body, while she sat on his lap.

"Shin Thi." The figure said, walking closer. She stared at the person, moving back slowly.

"Who are you? And what do you want?" She said, terrified. Getting ready to set her Sharingan on. The figure walked closer, in a few steps the person bent down in front of her.

"Uchiha Itachi…" Thi whispered. She clutched her hand into a tight fist, throwing it towards Itachi when he caught it.

"Why is my foolish brother sleeping still?" asked said looking at Sasuke.

"Let me go!" Thi yelled, but finding Itachi covering her mouth with one hand and holding onto her wrist with the other. Sasuke then woke up, his eyes widen as he stared at his brother holding onto Thi. Both Uchiha's stared at each other. Sasuke's face filled with an angry emotion while Itachi just simply smirked.

"Let her go." Sasuke demanded. Itachi just throw Thi towards Sasuke, making him catch her before she landed onto the hard ground.

"You have a weakness I see." Itachi smirked. Walking towards the door. Before he was completely out he stopped, noticing a grasp on his hands.

"You're here for me aren't you?" Thi questioned, lowering her gaze so she would be looking at the ground.

"Yes." Itachi said beginning to walk again. But stopping when he noticed that she wasn't going. Why did he care anyways? He could just leave her and let her suffer. But then again this wasn't a mission from the Akatsuki. But he knew later it would be, but why bother now. On his spare time when instead he could be training and gaining more power.

"Would you rather live or let Fai kill both of you?" Itachi questioned and continued to walk.

"Let's go." Thi said pulling Sasuke along. But stopping when Sasuke wouldn't move.

"Sasuke, let's go. We have to go now. It's too good of a opportunity." Thi continued, but finding Sasuke still didn't move,

"Sasuke, I know you want to get revenge. But can it at least wait. Let's at least get rid of Fai first. Please?" She asked again. Sasuke nodded and they both began to run as well. They noticed that the guard was dead, and soon if they didn't leave now, Fai would be after them. All three of them ran as fast as they could. As if their lives depended on it, with the war going on security was tight. But with three strong ninja's no one could surpass them.


Once they reached outside, they we're surrounded. It was nine against three. Each of them decided to take three each. In 5minutes, Itachi easily took care of his batch. Sasuke was finishing off the last one, as well for Thi.

"It's ashame that you sided with that brat." Lee said to Thi when they were face to face. She gave a simple laugh, as she increased the dark enengy around her hand.

"His better then you."Thi smirked as she broke Lee's neck. Killing him.

"Are you done yet?"Itachi asked rolling his eyes.

"Can't a girl have her fun?" Thi smiled.

"Right now is not the time to play." Itachi said, beginning to formulate a plan. But was quickly cut off when a kunai darted his way. He quickly caught it when it was one inch from his face. The figure appeared to the three. A large wave of water whirled around him. His brown hair blew through the wind.

"Your so predictable Thi." Fai laughed.

"But, I have to admit. I never expected Uchiha Itachi to be here to help you. Seems like you have a couple of people wanting your heart." Fai continued.

"You got the wrong idea. Itachi is only here because Akatsuki needs me." Thi explained, as she activated her Sharingan. She did the dragon hand seal and out of nowhere a large gust of wind blew across the four ninjas. Grey clouds started to roll in, lightening flash. Threatening to rain. Sasuke and Fai started to prepare to stand there ground, before the wind blew them away. As for Itachi, he stood there as if nothing was happening.

"Don't do anything, this is my battle." Thi said to Sasuke and Itachi. Both Uchihas nodded in understanding. As for Sasuke he was thinking that if things got bad he would jump in even though Thi said not to. But he hoped she would be all right. The wind started to increase, Thi slowly closed her eyes. Concentrating. She put her hands out when a large long shadow appeared. It came right out from her and started to surround her. Its long scaly black skin started to shine against the lightening. Large amount of black aura surrounded her.

"You want to play?" Thi asked, slowly lifting her head so you could see her face.She flicking her eyes open. Her eyes twisted to the Sharingan. Dragon Blood was circled around her like a shield.

"Let's play." She said, giving a evil laugh.
