Ch. 3 Brothers Collide

Sakuya and Natsumi were running through the forest dodging the tree branches. Sakuya was worried about something and it showed on his face.

Natsumi asked "What's wrong?"

Sakuya replied "Since Itachi has returned I worry about Sasuke."

"But wasn't this the whole point of this mission, to make Sasuke prepared for what might happen."

"Yeah, but what if Itachi strikes now?"

"Keiko is looking after him so you don't have to worry.

"Yeah, your right."

Just then a block of ice flew right in front of them.

Natsumi exclaimed "Keiko's signal, lets go!"

They ran through the forest from where they came cutting down trees that lay in their path. They came to the clearing where they found Keiko protecting Sasuke from Itachi. Natsumi ran and picked up both Sasuke and Keiko and put then on a tree branch, while Sakuya rushed in front of Itachi.

"I knew you would come back Itachi."

"So you are taking care of little baby Sasuke."

"Yeah, like you never did."

"So…what's your problem?"

"You bastard!"

Sakuya raced in front of Itachi and landed a kick knocking Itachi back. At the time he unleashed the "Quicksand in the Style of a Waterfall" jutsu quickly covering Itachi. Sakuya then dissipated the sand discovering that Itachi was gone.

A voice entered Sakuya's ear saying "Another time."

Sakuya's voice sounded through the forest screaming "Ahhhhh!"
