Thanks to all those who reviewed, in my personal opinion I didn't expect this fanfic to be as popular as it is being --;;

Chapter 4

After searching for sakura

7:30 am

Hokage's office

"So your saying that Sakura's was kidnapped?" the Hokage asked after hearing their story.

"Hai." Kakashi said

"Well from all that we know, her parents didn't leave the house once last night, and what your saying is that it looked like she struggled a bit, which should've caused her parents to notice and come to report it to me." the Hokage concluded, it just didn't make sense.

"It could have happened this morning," Naruto said. Sakura's parents always left early in the morning to go do their jobs,

"No." Sasuke said "Her scent in the room wasn't very fresh."

"Hm." the Hokage said rubbing her chin, this was very interesting.

"Looks like we're going to have to confront her parents, until then, Kakashi you should take your group and go do some training, I will send someone for her parents." Tsunade said very sternly, although she was sort of happy because that means she got a break from doing all that stupid paper work.

Kakashi nodded and then they left.

"Poor Sakura-chan." Naruto said, instantly losing that hyper personality of his.

Modern day Konoha

7:45 am

Konoha forest

"ITACHI!" her eyes went really wide and then in the area where the chakra was, a person appeared.

He was chuckling to himself as he walked out. It was a teenager, he looked around the age of 17. He was wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it that covered from his feet to his mouth and a Konoha forehead protector tied around his head. He had sharingan eyes and his hair was black and put into a ponytail.

"Very good Sakura." he said, no one could mistake her for someone else because of her bubblegum pink hair and her emerald eyes.

Sakura knew very well that after she had heard the news, he would come looking for her, probably to kill her. What surprised her most was the fact that she was still alive, he could of easily killed her back there when she was pretty much defenceless and wasn't expecting anything.

"Why did you keep my alive?" Sakura said, she was a bit surprised to see that her voice wasn't shaky like it should have been, after all she was talking to the one and only Uchiha Itachi, the one that killed his entire clan besides Sasuke, Sasuke's evil brother.

He stood there for a while before deciding that he didn't want to answer it. He, himself didn't even know why he kept her alive, he just did.

Sakura was about to ask the question again until he was face to face with her. She decided that it would be best if she pulled out a kunai for protection, but before her hand could reach the pocket he said "Sleep." again and she fell to the ground asleep.

He thought to himself that travelling would be a lot easier if he just put her to sleep and carried her.

Konoha

8:30 am

Training grounds

Almost everyone was finding it a bit difficult to train because the pink haired Genin wasn't there. She usually made things a bit difficult by asking all these questions, which was always answered by Sasuke, causing Naruto to try to show off, but she wasn't there so almost everything was silent.

Kakashi cleared his throat signalling for them to finish up and then come over to where he was.

"I can tell that neither of you are focused, so to continue on training would be pointless. Lets say we just go to Ichiraku, and have something to eat." he said

They always trained for at least 2 more hours but this time they thought it was just best if they did that.

It was the sign of apocalypse, Naruto wasn't really in the mood for ramen; he had a hard time finishing that bowl to be specific.

Sasuke just stared down at the ramen bowl and looked at his reflection, then all of a sudden a picture of the pink haired ninja appeared, he quickly splashed it out.

Why was he thinking of her? It was odd because he always seemed to be there to save her from danger but this time, she was gone and there was nothing he could do. It had to be a pretty strong ninja, because even Sakura could easily defeat a robber or someone with no ninja experience.

Then an idea hit him. "Kakashi, I'm not hungry, I just ate breakfast." he said then pushing his bowl towards Naruto who he expected to be asking Kakashi for another bowl but he noticed that he was only halfway through his first and it had already been 20 minutes.

Kakashi nodded, he really knew why he wasn't hungry, because he had told them not to eat breakfast yesterday, for there training would be gruelling, but because of the happenings they didn't do that training, successfully.

Sasuke walked away pretending to go back to the training grounds as if to do real training but as soon as he was out of view he quickly turned and went into the direction of Sakura's house.

Upon arrival at the house he checked to make sure that her parents weren't home then he snuck into her window and landed on the floor. He closed his eyes and started checking all the chakra that was in the room since yesterday.

He stopped when he sensed one from last night, it couldn't place it until he remembered his brother

"ITACHI!" he said eyes wide.

What did he want with Sakura?

Was it to lure me out?

Well if it was it was going to work. He went off and followed the trail of chakra until it lead him to the Konoha gates, he decided it be best if he told someone where he was going and then in the morning he would depart ALONE to go find Sakura.
