Sakura and her team were now ten feet from Konoha's gates. They were looking around to make sure that Itachi didn't bring some other comrades or maybe they would find some other things that would lead them to the Class S criminal.
"I wonder why he came here." Hinata muttered. Sakura looked at her.
"Probably finding a wife." Sakura said. This made Ino laugh.
"Find a wife! That's the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard!" Ino said, laughing. Sakura looked at the ground.
'Ridiculous but true.'
"Hey I found something!" Tenten said as they went to Tenten. She found a dead Jounin. Sakura realized that he was really cold, meaning he was dead for a long time now.
"This is one of the Jounins who were supposed to be on guard by the time he was spotted." Sakura muttered.
"Ino, get some other Jounins or maybe Chuunins to get this body."
"Yes ma'am!" Ino said and jumped off.
"Sakura, who was the one who spotted him and sent the alarm to Tsunade-sama?" Tenten asked. Sakura looked at her.
"It was one of his comrades. Surprisingly, he was able to reach the Hokage tower without getting assassinated. If I were Itachi, I would've killed the guy. But I think he wants all of Konoha to know that he's around."
A moment of silence…
"I saw Sasuke in your room earlier? What was he doing there? And he looked really upset!" Hinata said. Sakura was still thinking of a lie to tell Hinata when Ino arrived with a couple of Medical Chuunins and brought the body inside Konoha.
Sakura thanked Ino inwardly for saving her from telling Hinata.
"Sakura, have you found the criminal yet?"
"No Tsunade-sama. But we have leads." Sakura said. Tsunade looked at her. Sakura saw ton-ton when the pig jumped to her arms. Sakura caught ton-ton as Shizune entered the room.
"Sakura-sama, good evening."
"Good evening Shizune." Sakura said, giving ton-ton to her.
"Does Uchiha Sasuke know that his brother is here?"
Sakura nodded.
"And? What was his reaction?" Tsunade asked.
"What do you think?" Sakura smirked.
Sasuke sat down on one swing at Konoha's park.
'Of all women, why would Itachi want her? Maybe Itachi knew that I also like Sakura and maybe he just wants to take Sakura from me…'
He stared at the black sky dotted by yellow sparkling stars and he sighed.
"Star gazing at a night like this? You're calmer than I have expected little brother."
Sasuke looked up and saw his brother, smirking at him. He stood up and went into a fighting stance.
"Whoa, easy on there. I don't need a fight right now Sasuke. I just want to warn you." Itachi said. Sasuke ignored him and charged on his brother, his chidori on his right hand.
"Do you honestly think that you would defeat me with Kakashi's useless technique?" Itachi muttered as Sasuke hit him. Then, he turned into a log and appeared behind him.
"Stay out of Sakura or else I would kill you."
And Sasuke's vision blacked out.
A.N.: Sasuke's vision blacked out because Itachi pressed a pressure point making him lose consciousness k?
