Kankuro, Gaara and Temari
"I'm not dying now!" Kankuro slid under Gaara's legs and tied Gaara's feet together at the same time.
"Yah Kankuro!" Temari cheered. I thought I heard mother's voice calling to Kankuro.
"Temari? You heard me?" The voice came.
"Yes. I did. Are you my mother?"
"No. I am not. But I would love to be."
"Where are you? I can't see you."
"I am a dead soul. Call me Sunaka."
"Why did you cheer for-"
Kankuro was hit in the stomach with Gaara's own fist.
He's never done that before. He always relied on his sand. Kankuro thought as he fell to his knees. I think I'm gonna- Kankuro puked up blood.
"What's wrong. Are you giving up to me. Stand up so I can knock you back down." Gaara pulled Kankuro to his feet with sand.
"GAARA! THAT'S NOT FAIR! YOU CAN'T FORCE HIM TO FIGHT!" Temari yelled to Gaara.
"I can if I want." Gaara let go of one of his sand blades and it sliced Kankuro's arm.
Kankuro fell and slid down the wall to sit and use the wall as balance. The sand blade had badly injured his right arm.
"Get up." Gaara pushed the sand below Kankuro up to make Kankuro stand.
"GAARA! STOP!"
"No." Gaara sent another wave of sand at Kankuro. Kankuro was pushed off the edge.
"KANKURO!" Temari ran over to where her brother just fell off. (The sand gates disappeared.)
"Temari…" Kankuro was hanging on by his good arm.
"You're alive?"
"We'll help you." Gaara walked over to Kankuro and Temari.
"Gaara?" Temari stared at her little brother.
"Step aside Temari." Gaara said. Temari did as she was told.
"Gaara…" Kankuro looked up at Gaara. A sudden flash of Gaara as his monster ran into Kankuro's eyes.
Gaara pulled a blade out of his gourd and sliced Kankuro's face. (Kankuro can't protect himself because he can't move the other hand.)
"GAARA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Temari was put in a clear sand cage.
"I'm killing our brother." Gaara pulled out another blade and sliced at Kankuro's fingers. Before they could get hit… Kankuro let go of the edge and fell.
"I'm done." Gaara let out Temari and let the field down. He then walked away.

Asuma's burnt down house
"Ino. Shikamaru is a lazy Bum and a little stubborn, but you of all people should know that he would never sleep with-" Chouji began.
"I don't want to talk about it Chouji."
"You'll have to some time."
"Tomorrow morning."
"What?"
"Chouji, you wake me up tomorrow morning and we'll talk then. OK."
"Sure."
Asuma walked over.
"Ino. Are you okay?" Asuma asked.
"Yah."
"Are you sure?"
"I just need some time to think."
"Ok. Take all the time you need away from that Bastard."
"Thanks." Ino walked away.
"SHIKAMARU!" Chouji and Asuma yelled.
"Yah." Shikamaru turned his head to them.
"COME HERE!" They yelled.
"Coming." Shikamaru ran over to them.
"YOU DID THAT TO INO!" Chouji yelled at him. "POOR INO IS ALL ALONE NOW!"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SLEPT WITH TEMARI LAST WEEK AND THOUGHT YOU COULD KEEP IT A SECRET!" Asuma punched Shikamaru in the head.
"It wasn't on purpose! She snuck into my room while I was sleeping!"
"SURE SHE DID!" They said together.
"She did!"
"LIAR!" Chouji hit him in the head.
"Stop hitting me!"
"NNNNNOOOOO!" They said together.
"OK." Shikamaru said in a scared voice. "Keep hitting me."
"GLADLY!" They started hitting him over and over again.
"WE'RE STAYING IN THAT HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET! IT'S NUMBER 125! WE USED TO STAY IN 124! BUT NOW IT'S 125! OK!" Asuma yelled and pointed to the house.
"Ok." Shikamaru said in his scared voice.
"NOW GO IN THERE AND MARCH UP TO YOUR ROOM! I'TS ON THE LEFT OF THE STAIRS!" Asuma yelled.
"Stop treating me like a kid!"
"YOU ARE A KID!" Asuma yelled.
"Hey Asuma. You don't have to get that lazy bum upset.." Chouji hid behind Asuma.
"YES I DO! GET UP THERE NOW!"
"But Asuma-"
"NOW!"
"Fine." Shikamaru walked into the house.
"Chouji? Chouji? Where are you?" Asuma searched for his little companion.
"Over here." Chouji was attached to his leg.
"Are you okay?"
"Just fine."
"Then why are you back there?"
"You scared me."
"C'mon."
"Aren't we staying at Kurenai's?"
"No. We need to give her time alone with her students."
"OK."

Zaku and Kin
"Dosu! Are you okay! Wake up! You Bastard! Wake Up!" Kin shook Dosu madly.
"He's not gonna! We buried him for too long!" Zaku's head fell.
"Wake up Dosu! Wake up! Please! Just wake up!"
"He's dead. We killed him.
"No! We didn't!"
"Yes. We did. He's dead and we did it."
Dosu. Do you want revenge? Do you want to kill your team-mates for what they did to you? Do you want power to destroy everything in sight?
Yes. I do. Who are you?
I am Itachi. I can bring you power and life. You will have your revenge.
Do it, Master Itachi.

Hospital
"Tell me Kisame! Where is Itachi!" The Hokage zapped the fish-man.
"I'll never tell you!" Kisame took the zapping.
"Where is Itachi!"
"I'm over here." A voice came from the high window.
"Itachi? You came?" Kisame looked up at his partner in astonishment.
"Let him out and you get me."
"Itachi! No! Don't do it!"
"Sure. We have a deal." The Hokage let out Kisame.
Itachi grabbed his partner and ran.
"HEY! THAT WAS A DIRTY TRICK!" The Hokage sat down to sulk.
Itachi ran until he was snatched up by a large steel cage. Kisame quickly broke him free and began to run.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Temari
"Kankuro! Where are you!" Temari ran around looking for her brother.
"He's dead…"
"Gaara! Why did you let him fall!"
"So he could die."
"Why!"
"You ask too much…"
"KANKURO! WHERE ARE YOU!"
"It's no use…"
You hate your sister and brother, Kankuro. You would love to show them what you can do. I can help you. I will bring you life and strength. What do you say?
Yes. I will join you.
Good. Then you now call me master Itachi.
Yes, master Itachi.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Itachi and Kisame
Kisame lay on the cave floor, panting.
"That… was….so….FAST!"
"Get used to it."
"Itachi. What's the next plan?"
"We will have some new recruits coming."
"How many?"
"6 of them. I only have 2 so far."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi
"Sasuke! Come help make supper!"
"Not now Kakashi."
"NOW!"
"Coming."
Sasuke left the room to the kitchen, leaving Sakura and Naruto watching T.V.
"Hey Sakura!"
"Yes Kakashi sensei!"
"Come set the table!"
"OK!"
Sakura left the room too, leaving Naruto all alone. Naruto saw a flash of something outside.
What was that? Naruto thought as he walked outside.
Naruto. You want to become the strongest Hokage ever, but your team-mates think you're the weakling.
They do?
Yes. They do. Join me and show them who's wrong. I can give you more power then a Hokage could have. Join me.
But… who are you?
Your master, Itachi.
Yes master Itachi.
Sasuke looked towards a direction.
"Sasuke. What's wrong?" Kakashi asked him.
"I sense Itachi."
"Itachi?"
Naruto walked in.
"Did you sense Itachi too?" Sakura asked Naruto.
"Itachi? No. No sign of him."
Sasuke glared at his team-mate.
"You sure?" He asked.
"Sure of it." Naruto gave one of his goofy smiles.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kurenai, Shino, Kiba, Akamaru and Hinata
"You started a fire!" Kurenai yelled at her students.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry…" Hinata repeated over and over again.
"ARF! ARF!" Akamaru barked to Kiba.
Kiba looked at his sensei.
"Akamaru is right." He began. "It was Shino's fault. He was the one carrying around a lighter."
Kurenai looked at Shino.
"YOU CARRY A LIGHTER WITH YOU!"
"Yes."
"WHY!"
"I don't know."
"Kurenai." Asuma walked in the door.
"Oh. Asuma. Nice to see you."
"Still yelling at them?"
"Yah. Hang on. I'll be done in one sec. SHINO!"
"Yah…"
"GO MARCH UP THOSE STAIRS AND GO TO YOUR ROOM!"
"But-"
"NO 'BUTS'! GO!"
Shino walked up the stairs and flopped onto his bed.
This sucks. He thought.
It does suck, doesn't it.
Who is that?
I am Itachi.
Itachi?
You always get blamed and treated like crap. Isn't it time to get revenge.
Could you help me?
That's why I'm here. Join me and I will give you strength, power. All you have to say is 'yes master Itachi.'
Yes master Itachi.

Neji, Rock Lee and Gai
"Neji. Lee. These are the list of chores you need to do today." Gai stuck the list to Neji's forehead.
Rock Lee read the first thing on the list and walked away.
You got to be kidding me. Neji thought as he read the second thing on the list. (He read it through the mirror because it won't come off his head.) I have to do the toilets!
Are you always treated this badly?
Most of the time. What do you want Itachi?
Smart. You knew it was me. I heard Tenten went home until next Summer. Is that true?
She got mad at me. What's your point?
Why did she?
She thought I was cheating on her. Where is this going?
Do you believe in uncontained power?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Shikamaru
How could he treat me like a kid. Shikamaru looked at the picture of the Chunin exams. Something was missing again!
He looked closer.
I knew it! He thought He is missing!
He looked at the middle row. His best friend, Neji, was gone once more. Then he appeared again.
Are you tired of them treating you badly and treating you like a kid.
Itachi?
You're as smart as the other one.
What do you want?
I've gained a new team, but I have no leader.
So?
Don't you like to be a leader? Don't you want power, revenge, respect?
Yes. I do.
Join me.
Whatever.
That night Shikamaru snuck out the window to the cave to meet his new team-mates.
Neji glared at Naruto.(The list finally came off his forehead)
"What is it?" Naruto tried to ignore him.
"LISTEN GOOD!" Kisame yelled through the cave. "WHEN WE CALL YOUR NAME YOU COME UP AND TOUCH THIS POT! IF YOU WERE BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD…THEN DO THE SAME! WE WILL ALSO GIVE YOU AN IMPORTANT POSITION! THESE POSITIONS COULD BE USEFUL IF YOU EVER GET TO GO ON A MISSION AS A TEAM!"
"FIRST! NARUTO UZAMAKI! DISTRACTER!" Kisame yelled.
Naruto walked up to the pot and touched it. An orange puff of smoke flew out of the pot and soaked into Naruto's marking. (The marking on his stomach from the nine-tailed fox) Naruto walked away and stood on the other side of the cave then the other ninjas.
"SECOND! SHINO ABURAME! STRATAGIZER!"
Shino walked over to the pot and touched it. A green puff of smoke flew out and soaked into the bugs on and around Shino. Shino walked off and stood near Naruto.
"THIRD! DOSU! FAR RANGE ATTACKER!"
Dosu walked up and touched the pot. A Grey puff of smoke soaked into his arm, creating a new wrist thing.(Y'know. The one that shoot out sound and was broken by Shikamaru. I guess Dosu's not gonna like his leader.)
"FOURTH! NEJI HYUGA! LOOKOUT!"
Neji touched the pot and Blue smoke soaked into his curse mark. (Y'know. The one on his forehead.)
"FIFTH! KANKURO! CLOSE RANGE ATTACKER!"
Kankuro touched the pot. Red smoke soaked into his markings. (Y'know. The markings on his face.)
"AND SIXTH! SHIKAMARU NARA! LEADER!"
Shikamaru touched the pot. Yellow smoke soaked into his shoulder creating a symbol. The symbol was a star with a flame sprouting off of each point.
"PLEASE! GO TO THE PARK AND THEN SPLIT UP! YOUR TEAMS WILL BE SENT THERE AND YOU CAN HAVE YOUR REVENGE!"
The group ran off, awaiting their vengeance.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
