AN: Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy! I got reviews! I got reviews! Ehem. . .Uhh, sorry. Okay. Well, thanks for all the reviewers! You guys made my heart all nice and fluffy. . . .lol. jkjkjk. But I really did appreciate all of your reviews, most of them good. Well, for 'Baby Kakashi', I will but the review if I can remember it. . . . .hmm. I hate it when they cut off the summary. . . .It's so short! Hmm, for 'Sakurachild', yeah, I do get what you mean, but that's why I made it three years. And yep, it's one heck of a mission! Lol. Well you see, it's a big part. It shows how loyal and loving Sakura is. So, that's why they are gone. Believe me, I don't think Naruto can die that easy. . . . .As for the thing with Sakura with Neji. . . .NEVER! lol. I think you're right with the strict Sakura and Sasuke thing. If Sakura was with Lee, I think it would have made more sense with that, but otherwise, I'm a strict Sas/Saku fan. How did Sakura end up with Neji anyways? But it's fanfiction. Anything can happen! On with the story and the summary for 'Baby Kakashi'. .

Summary

Eight years ago, Sasuke had finally come back. After being asked to become the head of the ANBU Squad, he had to go on a mission. Before he left, he asked Sakura to marry him and always carry the ring he gave her. Now, it's been three years, and Sasuke, Naruto, and Lee have not come back. It seems as if everyone has stopped believing. Will Sakura go with the flow? Or will she keep her stand about her fiancé, her colleges still alive? After all, it has been three years. . . .Will they ever have a happy ending?

Chapter 3

The Final Battle

The sound of feet running through the forest was clear, as it rustled the leaves as they feet flew by. It was dark, and they were near. They wore their ANBU uniform with the distinctive mask that hid their identity. The three men stopped, leaving the forest silent with their secrets folded within. The silence was soon broken as three kunai were thrown through the forest. For a fast reflex, the taijustu master threw three shuriken returning the three kunai. The other two dodged the kunai swiftly as if nothing had come at all. They continued their path, rustling past the trees once more into the vast forest. Once more, they came to a stop at the clearing. The forest grew silent once more, but too silent. . . . .(hahah! Sounds so cheesy!)

"Little brother. . . .you have grown. . . . . .So, you have finally come to seek me, I see." Said a deep voice in the woods. The voices echoed through the forest, but there was no way to tell where the voice had come from since it rung in all directions.

"Itachi. . . ." Breathed Sasuke. This was the moment, he thought. The moment where he would finally face off Itachi, and finally go home.

"Don't get too cocky, Sasuke." Said the voice that belonged to no other than his older brother.

"Hn."

Out of nowhere, shuriken and kunai were shot through the forest at the three standing men. They easily blocked it with their own kunai. (no duh. . .I'm so pathetic. . . .not good with fighting thing) Out of the forest, Itachi came charging after Sasuke. Sasuke shot out two shrunken which plastered Itachi. Way too easy. . . .Another Itachi came out from behind, and Naruto quickly defeated him too.

"Naruto! I told you! Now this is all my moves! I have to do this!" Hissed Sasuke.

"I know. It's just a clone!" Said Naruto annoyed. He was just trying to help his best friend out a bit, because he and Lee were here for a reason. Finally, the real Itachi came down from the treetop.

"My, little brother. . . .Have you grown. So you seek me out to kill me, I see. . . ."

"Hn. I've come to finish you off, Itachi. I've come to avenge our parents and our clan."

"I no longer see myself as apart of that foolish clan."

"Good. You're no good to be an Uchiha anyways."

Out of nowhere, Itachi brought a kunai out in attempt to hurt Sasuke. With fast reflexes, Sasuke quickly jumped out of reach. He came up behind Itachi for a surprise attack, as he held a kunai up to his neck. Itachi smirked.

"Foolish little brother. . . " He muttered as he flipped Sasuke onto the ground. He shot a kunai through his heart, but the clone of Sasuke disappeared as Sasuke came at Itachi once again. Then he began to use Chidori for a final strike at his older brother. As Sasuke came at Itachi, his face remained emotionless as he was slashed deeply across his chest. He fell to his knees with blood dripping. He smiled.

"Heh. So, you have defeated me, Sasuke. . . . Isn't this what you always wanted?" Asked Itachi through heavy breathes. He coughed up blood as he fell to the ground. His pulse stopped. Sasuke remained quiet. Finally, he went over to check his pulse. Itachi was dead.

"We're finally done." Said Sasuke as he stood up after checking his older brother's pulse.

"See Sasuke, we finally completed the mission." Said Naruto beaming at his friend. "Let's go home so you can see Sakura-Chan." Lee and Naruto walked up to their friend and gave him a pat on the back. They were finally finished. It meant that Sasuke could finally see Sakura again after three years. He could finally marry her. The three-man team darted back in the woods, eager to get back home again. However, deep in the lush forest, stood an evil man chuckling to himself.

"Foolish little brother. . . . .Think you could defeat me so easily? Heheh. I'll leave you at peace for a while. . . .Then give you the biggest surprise of a lifetime. . . . . ."

End for now!

AN: Haha! How was this one? I know it's kinda short, and VERY cheesy. . . . .Is this a cliffhanger? Hmmm. . . . .I wonder.
