Recap
"I have accomplished my goal…should we get going now Itachi-sama?"
"Hn, lets go…you have done well. Leader-sama will be pleased" He let a smirk tug at his lips.
"Sakura take my hand"
"Yes Itachi-sama" Sakura took hold of his hand and did a set of handseals with his spare hand and with a poof they were gone. They reappeared far in the forest near a cabin. Itachi let Sakura's hand go and walked coolly to the cabin. Sakura walked cautiously behind him…she had a feeling something bad was going to happen…not to her but to Itachi.
End recap
:: In Konoha ::
The village of Konoha was in mourning, the fifth Hokage Tsunade had just been brutally murdered, be her apprentice Sakura Haruno no less . No one would have thought it would have been her, out of all people. Only a select few expected it.
The sky was dark, strong winds blowing dark storm clouds, casting a dark shadow over the village. Men, woman and children stood in rows, black clothing replacing their normal attire. Jonin, chunin, genin, ANBU and elders had also gathered to say their farewells' to Tsunade.
At the alter an elder stood, the wind ruffling his black robe, behind him was the coffin of the first female hokage Tsunade, a picture of her was place on top of the coffin. One by one Shinobi and civilians stepped forth and placed a white rose on the black coffin.
Kakashi slowly trudged to the dull coloured coffin, his eye down cast. In his left hand he was holding a rose and in the other a speech. He laid the white rose gently onto the coffin next to the beautiful blonde's picture. He walked to the alter, and balled his fists.
'It's my fault she went and did this; I should have helped her train and comforted her when Sasuke left. I should have paid more attention to her and maybe the Hokage would still be alive and Sakura would still be here.'
"I would like to say a few things about our beloved 6th Hokage Tsunade."
'Drip'
'Drip'
'Drip, Drip, Drip'
Ran poured from the dark clouded sky, pelting onto everything.
"First off all, I would like to say that Hokage Tsunade was a kind and generous woman. She helped us through a lot of hard times, she came to out rescue when Orochimaru killed the 3rd. She has helped konoha in many ways; she wasn't half bad for an old bag in her 50's as we all know she hated to look old." Kakashi chuckled sadly at the memory. "She was one of the three legendary, and the best medic in the Shinobi world. She served us well, and would try her best to save as many people as she could. Just because she isn't her in body, doesn't mean she isn't here in spirit watching over us all."
The burial ceremony continued without a hitch, but no one knew that a pair of murderous sharingan eyes was watching.
"Hn, so Tsunade was murdered eh?" And with that said the ninja disappeared.
:: With Sakura and Itachi ::
Sakura was sat at the table, her long, slender fingers grazing across the dark mahogany wood. That gut feeling she had wouldn't go away! If anything…it was getting stronger! She also felt like she was going to get pulled into something as well.
"Itachi-sama?" She asked, she had to say something about this feeling she was getting.
Itachi looked up from the scroll he was reading, giving Sakura his undivided attention.
"Hn, what is it Sakura?"
"I've had this weird gut feeling…ever since we have arrived here. I feel like something bad is going to happen. And every minute it's getting stronger." Sakura said without emotion, but on the inside she was worried.
"So you had that feeling too, I guess something big going to happen. Go get prepared, just in case." Itachi responded and rolled up the scroll and walked out from the room.
:: Itachi's Pov ::
'Hn, should of known…Sasuke must be up to something. He probably knows that Sakura killed Tsunade by now.'
:: End Itachi's Pov ::
Itachi opened the desk draw, and pulled out a katana, The hilt was black and had the sharingan eye at the end. He quickly gathered other weapons he would need and some medical gear. It wouldn't be long in until Sasuke arrived.
The sharingan master was soon ready; the only question on his mind now was "Is Sakura ready?"
He turned his head to the door as he heard a knock.
"Itachi-Sama…Sasuke's here, but he is with Orochimaru. Im ready to fight by your side." Sakura said emotionlessly.
"Come, it would be rude to keep our guests waiting." Was all that Itachi said before walking past the kuniochi.
Sakura turned on her heel, her stride matching Itachi's. She new that she would have to fight either Orochimaru or Sasuke, there was no other choice.
The song for this chapter is Fighter by Christina Aguilera
When I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust
'Cause your bluff time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm
Sakura hoped that it could be Sasuke she was going to fight, she wanted payback for all the time he had hurt her, and stabbed her in the back. Itachi on the other hand wasn't in the mood for fighting but since there was no way out of it he was going to try and make that fight as short as possible.
After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
Soon they reached the cabins front door, Itachi pushed the door open and was immediately attacked by Sasuke with a katana. Itachi quickly dodged the attack and grabbed Sasuke's wrist and threw him back.
"Is that all you have otouto?" Itachi said mocking Sasuke
"Not even close, you WILL die today nii-san" Sasuke spat, venom dripping from eat syllable. "And you!" Sasuke turned his head to Sakura, his sharingan flaring further. "YOU BETRAYED ME!" He hissed, the tomoe's spinning rapidly within his red eyes.
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Oh, ohh'
"Ah, Sakura-Chan, having you grown, you'll defiantly be a challenge. We can't have you helping Itachi out now can we, so I will be the one you will be fighting." Orochimaru said, while he licked his lips with the giant pink tongue of his.
Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh
"I guess so, let's get started then." Sakura replied back tonelessly.
The battle has started. Konoha's ex Cherry blossom vs. The snake sannin Orochimaru!
Itachi looked at Sasuke, totally bored. He inwardly yawned. 'Is this going to turn out like the last three times..?'
"So I guess im your opponent…" Itachi voiced…STILL bored.
After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
"Pay attention bastard! This will be your LAST battle; you will DIE today even if I have to drag you to hell with me!" Sasuke hisses darkly, and charged at Itachi. Sasuke drew his katana again and swung it at Itachi, Itachi dodged the blade swiftly while pulling out his own katana.
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Sakura growled silently, sending chakra to her hands. She would not loose to him, to OROCHIMARU! Sakura slammed her fist down onto the ground, the ground started to shake, tearing apart, and pieces of debris flying everywhere.
Orochimaru jumped back just in time and glared at the kuniochi. 'Such raw power, I guess what they said was true. She truly did surpass Tsunade.' He quickly made the handseals for Kuchiyose no Jutsu.
'POOF'
once the cloud of smoke cleared, a giant purple snake with yellow eyes appeared. He tasted the air with his tongue and looked intensely at Sakura.
"What is it you need, master Orochimaru?" Manda hissed, his hungry eyes still fixed on Sakura.
"Go play with Sakura; she can be your new chew toy." Orochimaru said, with a sick smirk.
Manda hissed in approval and dived forward to attack Sakura, the pink haired girl was trapped she couldn't dodge, her eyes widened as the giants snakes head came straight at her.
----X-------X-------X-------X-----X-----X-----X---X------X----X---X----X----X---X---X-
Sasuke swung his blade once again at the older Uchiha, they had been fighting for only a few minutes and Sasuke had already taken a few hits. Itachi on the other hand had not a single scratch on him.
"Oh come on, are you seriously THIS weak? You haven't gotten stronger at all!" Itachi said, and swung his blade chopping off some of Sasuke's hair. "And I thought you had potential Sasuke, seems that I was wrong." He said while dodging another attack. Sasuke attacked again, but Itachi blocked his katana with his own and knocked Sasuke's out of his grasp.
----X-------X-------X-------X-----X-----X-----X---X------X----X---X----X----X---X---X-
Sakura's cold emerald looked around frantically for something to protect herself with. From the corner of her eye she saw a katana with a blue hilt. 'This is Sasuke's.' Sakura quickly grabbed the blade; Manda was just about to strike when Sakura stabbed him in the eye with Sasuke's katana.
Manda hisses in pain and fell to the ground, causing the ground to shift and wobble a bit. Manda thrashed about in pain, his tail nearly hitting Orochimaru. The snake sannin growled at Sakura, and turned his head back to Manda.
"Manda, you may go."
"Thank you massster Orochimaru." Once great snake vanished, leaving a cloud of smoke after him.
"Hn, looks like time to face each other face one wouldn't you say so…Orochimaru." Sakura said while getting into a fighting stance, Orochimaru mirrored her movements.
----X-------X-------X-------X-----X-----X-----X---X-----X----X---X----X----X---X---X-
Sasuke stopped attacking and glared at Itachi.
"I want answers and I want them now, what do mean by you thought I had potential?" Sasuke barked, narrowing his blood red eyes.
"You are in no position to demand anything from me, Sasuke. But I shall tell you anyway." Itachi said, while smirking behind his cloak. "When we were living in Konoha, before I slaughtered our clan…" Sasuke flinched visibly at Itachi's words.
"I, only I saw the potential you held, no one but me saw it. I knew that someday your sharingan would surpass my own, that it would even be stronger than our clans founder…Uchiha Madara's. But only with hate would you awaken this potential you needed someone to close to you to direct your hatred at." Itachi paused and looked at Sasuke.
"I decided that I would be that person, the one you would hate with all your soul. Therefore, I planned the Uchiha clan massacre…"
----X-------X-------X-------X-----X-----X-----X---X-----X----X---X----X----X---X---X-
Sakura panted lightly, she had only taken a few hits. She had landed more onto Orochimaru though, he was wiping blood from his mouth and he charged at the kuniochi again, he opened his mouth, his pink tongue shot out and wrapped around her.
Sakura cursed, but she wasn't about to give up. She grabbed Orochimaru's tongue that was around her waist and pulled it away from her, Sakura still held his tongue. Orochimaru's eyes widened. 'FUCK!'. Sakura smirked and tightened her grip on his snake like tongue and started to spin around.
Orochimaru tried to pull his tongue out of her grasp, but was failing miserably. Soon he found him self thirty feet in the air. 'Damn BITCH!'. Sakura pulled out some shuriken and launched them at the snake sannin, three pierced the skin on his arms and one cut him below his eye. The snake sannin began to fall from the air faster…
----X-------X-------X-------X-----X-----X-----X---X-----X----X---X----X----X---X---X-
Itachi Uchiha smirked as his brother laid on the floor, clutching his head. He had explained the reason for the massacre just like Sasuke had asked.
Flashback
" I was hoping that you would prove me right, so the slaughter of clan wouldn't have been in vein. I saw so much more in you…unlike everyone else. The reason I killed the clan Sasuke…was for you, for no one else but you, not to test my capacity like I said.
I was seriously hoping that the potential I saw in you would show, but at the minute..All I see is huge mistake, I expected to much of you Sasuke, and now you know the truth just like you wanted. But now you have to live with the fact that it's because of you OUR clan is dead." Itachi smirk widened when Sasuke clutched his head and fell to the floor into a crumpled heap.
Sasuke cursed silently, images from his childhood flashed through his mind.
End flashback
"Ah, there you Sasuke-chan! How was your first day of school?" I woman called Mikoto asked as an eight year old Sasuke walked through the main house gates with his older brother Itachi.
Another image played.
"Aniki! Can you teach me how to throw shuriken today? You promised you would!" Sasuke asked Itachi with a smile on his face.
"Sorry Sasuke, not today im busy I'll help you tomorrow I promise" A thirteen year old Itachi replied and Poked Sasuke's forehead before standing up.
"Ouch…that hurt Aniki, and you ALWAYS promise to help me but you never do." Sasuke replied his eyes downcast.
Images flashes faster and faster in his mind…then they stopped on one he would NEVER forget.
Sasuke had just returned from shuriken practise, it was already dark he had to hurry home or his father would be angry. Sasuke stopped, the smile he had slipping from his face. Bodies…bodies of his family littered the ground. Blood, splattered everywhere, weapons covered the place.
A horrified gasp left the onyx eyed boy. "What happened…who could do such a thing…" He whispered barely audible. He shakily walked forward and slid the front door to his home open. He froze, he blood ran cold and his eyes wide with fear.
"Mother! Father!..not you too…" He said, his voice withering into a whisper. Mikoto lay on the floor her black hair sprawled around her, blood dripped from her lip. His father Fagaku was also dead, his body tossed carelessly on top of his wives, blood pooling from several head wounds. Sasuke's eyes were glued to his parent's bloodied bodies.
"…Who did this….?"
A shadowy figure stepped forward, Sasuke couldn't see his face. Sasuke gasped and stumbled back when the figured showed their identity.
"Foolish otouto, Isn't it obvious?" Sasuke didn't reply, he started up at his Aniki with tears tickling his eyes. "I-it…was you? Sasuke stuttered, fear pulsing through his veins.
Sasuke didn't see the rest of the vision, all the images stopped and he felt nothing but scorching hatred. He ground his teeth together and stood from the ground, the tomoe's whirling rapidly within his red eyes. Sasuke said nothing, but with amazing speed he charged at the elder Uchiha pulling a spare katana from the rope around his waist. And finally spoke up.
"DIE! YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH!"
----X-------X-------X-------X-----X-----X-----X---X-----X----X---X----X----X---X---X-
Sakura growled, she wasn't going to let Orochimaru win this! She grabbed a kunai and ran at the falling snake sannin. 'This is the end for you OROCHIMARU!' Sakura jumped off of the ground and thrust the kunai into the snake sannins heart. He gave out a hiss of pain before his body felt to the ground, lifeless.
Sakura landed swiftly onto the ground and smirked. That was easier than I thought it would be.'
"DIE! YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH!" Sakura heard Sasuke bellow, her head swung to the direction of Itachi and Sasuke, her eyes widened. 'NO!' Sakura spirited forward to Itachi
Itachicouldn't dodge the attack, there was nowhere to go, he closed his eyes awaiting to feel pain, instead he felt warm liquid splatter onto his face and heard a shrill scream of pain…
