Author's Note: Some people ask me how I update so fast, but to tell the truth I don't know. All of the chapters and stories just pop into myhead and I just put them in I update at least 2 things in 3-4 hours, while at the same time reading reviews. I love reviews!
Sasuke and Naruto looked up to see Itachi looking down at them from the window. "Itachi!" Sasuke spat angrily, his sharingan turning a bit redder.
"Foolish little brother," Itachi hummed, "What are you doing here with that demon fox?"
"We're here for Sakura!" Naruto exclaimed heroically, "And my name's Naruto Uzumaki. Remember it!"
"Shut up dobe," Sasuke chided and Naruto piped down with a pout.
"Leave," Itachi threatened, "The kunoichi is staying with me. She's happier and more well-rested now than how she used to be back in your pitiful little village." His sharingan appeared and he bore deep within Sasuke's sharingan.
"I'll fight you for her," Sasuke muttered, "Winner gets Sakura."
Itachi chuckled. "Is this some joke of yours? You couldn't beat me before, and you won't beat me now." He smirked. "Have the fox help you out. Because the loser... loses the kunoichi forever!" Silence. A very long and tense silence.
"We'll do it!" Naruto replied confidently. He balled up his hands into fists and put on a serious face.
Sasuke turned to Naruto and fumed, "Naruto! This is no ordinary opponent! Think before you answer!"
Itachi's smirk widened. "It's a deal." He jumped out of his window and positioned himself to a fighting position.
"Don't worry Sasuke-teme," said Naruto, "We'll win Sakura-chan back. Believe it!" He made a hand sign and cried, "Shadow clone jutsu!" In a puff of many smokes, at least twenty Narutos were surrounding Itachi. All at once, they all attacked at the same time.
Sasuke flinched when there was a big thud and saw puffs of smoke everywhere. Naruto collapsed on the ground and removed a kunai from his shoulder.
"Where is he?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke looked up towards the roof and quickly dodged Itachi's ground-kick. He's too fast!
Itachi threw a shuriken at Sasuke, and Sasuke dodged it; only to get caught by Itachi's clone.
"Argh!" Itachi hissed in agony. He turned around and found a kunai on his back. Sasuke. He then looked at the 'Sasuke' he was holding. It disappeared within a puff of smoke. I didn't know Sasuke could do shadow clones as well. He turned to his brother.
"Thanks Naruto," Sasuke declared as hejumped off from his hiding spot- a tree branch- and charged at Itachi with his chidori. "Chidori!" he cried.
Itachi smirked and grabbed Sasuke's arm. Sasuke gasped as Itachi redirected his attack to the ground.
Oh no! My Chidori! I'm defenseless now! Sasuke plunged into the dirt and laid there for a while.
"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted as he charged at Itachi with his Rasengan.
Itachi lifted his foot and effortlessly kicked Naruto right into a tree. Hard.
Naruto groaned and slid down the tree. With a sigh, he fell unconscious.
"I expected more after four years," Itachi melowed, "But I can see that you're still weak."
Sasuke struggled to rise. "Itachi...,"he grunted. Itachi smirked and kicked him in the stomach. Sasuke coughed out some blood and laid on the ground unconscious.
"Pathetic," Itachi murmured. He went back into his window and reappeared outside with Sakura in his arms. "Looks like I get to keep the kunoichi."
"Itachi," a deep voice grumbled. It was Kisame.
"Where have you been?" Itachi askedangrily.
"Uh...lunch."
Itachi rose an eyebrow at him.
"I was hungry." Kisame looked at the two fallen ninjas. "What happened here?"
"I'll explain on our way back to headquarters."
Kisame nodded and they both disappeared- along with Sakura.
A few minutes later, Naruto and Sasuke started to stir. Naruto was the first to remember the fight and shouted, "Sasuke-teme! Sakura-chan's gone! Itachi too!"
That snapped Sasuke back to reality. "Sakura!" he shouted. His voice echoed through the forest. No response. He stood up, but suddenly dropped to his knees when he felt pain slice through his whole body. Without even thinking, he burst into a silent sob. I lost her.
Naruto looked at Sasuke sympathetically. "Sasuke...," he whispered. He sadly looked away. Sakura-chan...we lost. We're so sorry. As these thoughts came to him, tears flowed down his cheeks as well.
Authors Note: There's a sequel to this! Yay cliffhanger! Hehe...
