Author's Note: I love hyper-typing. Hehehe...

Sasuke took a stroll down Konoha. He was on his way to Sakura's house to apologize...again. I feel stupid. Why am I doing this again?

Because you need to learn how to say sorry POLITELY.

Hn.

Such a colorful answer, Sasuke-KUN.

Will you quit it with the obvious stuff? I'm grumpy today.

Hmph. You're always grumpy.

I said quit it.

Loner.

Loser.

Ha! You're talking to yourself. So technically, you're saying that YOU'RE a loser! Haha!

Shut up, baka.

Sasuke stopped when he saw the scene before him. ANBU and jounins were all over Sakura's house. Kakashi was there, too, so Sasuke decided to ask him what was going on. "Kakashi!" he called from the ground.

Kakashi was on a tree looking serious and upset. He looked down at his former student. He jumped down from the tree and greeted, "Yo."

"What's going on here Kakashi?" Sasuke asked with worry in his eyes, "Where's Sakura?"

Kakashi sighed and sadly looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke...Sakura..." He closed his eyes and bowed his head.

"What?" Sasuke asked, his voice rising, "What happened to Sakura? Where is she?"

Kakashi looked at Sasuke and answered deeply, "We believe that she was kidnapped yesterday."

Sasuke felt his body freeze. "By who?"

"Kakashi, by WHO?"

"Uchiha Itachi."

"...!"Sasuke stood frozen. "I-Itachi?"

"Yes. His chakra was all over the living room."

Sasuke stayed silent. "That low creep!" he shouted in rage, "He kidnapped Sakura! She could've been killed by now! Once I find him, I will show him no mercy and KILL him!" His sharingan slowly appeared in his eyes as he shook in anger.

"Sasuke calm down. He's probably only doing this to get to you."

"I don't care. I'll kill him."

"Sasuke Uchiha," a woman's voice toned sternly.

Sasuke turned around and bowed. "Tsunade-sama."

Kakashi bowed as well. "Greetings, Tsunade-sama."

Tsunade returned their bows and motioned Sasuke to follow her. "I need to ask a favor of you," she stated. He nodded and followed her to a nearby cherry tree.

"What is your favor, Tsunade-sama?" Sasuke asked.

"I need you to go on a mission, along with Naruto, to find your brother and bring back Sakura. But..."

"But?"

"Can I trust you to keep youself under control?"

Sasuke blinked a few times and answered solemnly, "Yes."

Tsunade looked at him worriedly for a moment, but then nodded. "Okay then. Lets go to the Hokage tower to get you and Naruto started." Sasuke gave her a...smile? Tsunade smiled back. He's actually smiling for once. I missed that smile. They both leapt back to the tower.

"Sasuke-teme!" Naruto greeted when Tsunade and Sasuke arrived at the tower, "Ready to go on the mission?"

"Of course I am," Sasuke replied smugly. I've been getting ready since I was 8.

"Okay you two," Tsunade interrupted, "There have been claims of a green house in the forest. It's deep in, but I'm sure both of you can find it in no time. Good luck."

Sasuke and Naruto nodded once as a sign of approval and left the tower and entered the forest afterwards. It WAS a deep forest. It was dark, green, and very silent. The very reason why it was called the Forest of Death.

Naruto gulped. "Sasuke-teme...remember this place as part of our chunnin exams when we were twelve?"

"Yeah...so?"

"We almost died."

Hours passed, and Sasuke and Naruto were getting tired. "Ghaa!" Naruto yelled as quietly as possible to Sasuke, "I don't see a green house anywhere!" He held his head in frustration.

"You're standing on it you idiot," Sasuke mumbled.

Naruto looked down and sweatdropped. "I-I knew that." He gave Sasuke a nervous grin and jumped on a branch next to Sasuke's.

"Let's have a look," Sasuke suggested. He and Naruto jumped stealthily by an open window and peeked inside.There was little light so they were able to see inside the dark room a bit. Sakura! And she's sleeping...with ITACHI? Sasuke's eyes widened in shock. His brother was shirtless, and Sakura was asleep like nothing wrong is going on.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted through the window, "Why are you sleeping with that guy?"

Sasuke punched Naruto on the face and cursed, "Damn you Naruto! You are the loudest ninja on Earth! Now it's mission failed for us! Baka!"

"Little brother. How nice to see you here."

Cliffhanger: Well, you already know who's talking. But what will he do? heeheehee...
