AN: so here I am with another chapter…extremely late update…but the weather and computers wait for no one… well this one is split with half Hana and half Itachi…let me explain this now cause it will be in all my Itachi FF…I DON'T THINK ITACHI KILLED HIS MOTHER…I really think his father did because when you're parents, you probably have the room where you can hear everything…inside and out…Itachi killed his parents last so they could have heard the others getting killed…why didn't they go outside or hide?.. how did the parents manage to be on top of each other when Itachi only made one swoop…the answer: daddy killed mommy and oldest killed daddy…that's it I guess…at the bottom is some teasers from the Rihanna series because of the lateness…I have no idea of the actual name of the series but that's the nickname…I wont post it until this story is mostly done…

Hana's POV

Dinner, 'dinner' –an interrogation's more like it. The elders of Suna plus the honorable children now know everything from my weight to the shampoo I like to use on my dogs. I didn't mind the questions at first, but then:

"What do you think about that meddlesome freak who teaches Rock Lee?"

"Why do they let that weird lady, Anko I think, proctor the dangerous part of the exam?"

"What do you think about the elder's decisions to allow a gambling drunk to be the Hokage?"

My personal favorite: "Is everyone in Konoha as messed up as the genin?"

Hopefully I answered them right. The elders also told me more about being a diplomat. I'm not just going to be in Suna, but around most of the Wind Country. I have to 'establish a trusting relationship with the actual people of the land'. Hidden villages protect the people within their country and their village. I'm not actually going out of Suna until Friday, when a three day celebration begins. I have no idea what they are celebrating, but festivals have great food. I have a whole day to explore Suna, I doubt Itachi would actually come inside the village unless he has to, so I can just explore with my dogs.

Itachi's POV

We weren't even in the Wind Country before Kisame started complaining. If my eyes were better, I would kill him instantly. I actually plan on waiting until the last possible moment before getting the nine tails brat. I'm almost grateful the boy's so protected and hardheaded. All those interruptions make it easier to not try. Now that he has left the village, I can do nothing and get away with it.

When we actually got into the country, Kisame was attempting to appeal to my better nature and use reverse psychology. He's no longer complaining, but stumbling and wheezing loudly. Being the nice killer I am, I stopped in the third town we passed. It is bustling with people, so we can easily remain unnoticed. The entire town appeared to getting ready for something.

"Excuse me mister?" I looked down and noticed a little person (I mean a child). I naturally took a step back, these things cry and draw attention, something I don't need. "How'd you get a shark to walk? Are you part of the festival?"

Had I been Deidara, I would have laughed out loud at this funny little kid. Kisame was about to retort and draw attention, so I quickly interjected and responded. "I am not part of the festival," even though he's behind me, I can sense his arrogance, "that's my pet and we have to go now."

I know Kisame wants to kill me, yet I don't care. The little boy was satisfied because he left us alone; he was very useful, though. The people obviously don't see shark-like things walking around everyday. Note to self: Get rid of Kisame.

"Huh, festival" Kisame huffed. I forgot about that little detail. Festivals have ninja showcases, a scheme to get more kids enrolled in the academy. I will have access to numerous jutsu and be able to eat dumplings. I won't have to worry about Kisame either; I'm beginning to like the Wind Country.

There's the extremely short chapter that is only to set up the next chapter…I don't want to go any farther because the next good stopping place is too far for me to do with 4 projects in my schedule…anyways here's the teasers…I really want to know if you guys would be interested in reading it…and I'm not sure if I said this but I know you're supposed to use an in front of a vowel or vowel sound…but an Uchiha sounds…horrible to me

"You know…it's like a curse. Once you fall in love a Uchiha, you never fall out...and they both have a thing for flowers."

Itachi tuned out the violent scolding, courtesy of Tsunade, and brushed his hair out of his face –"Where's my ring? Did one of your nurses take my ring?"

"Itachi Uchiha, you are charged with the slaying of 87 Uchihas. How do you plead?" "Not guilty, I only killed 86. My father killed my mother."

"Itachi…why did you do it, massacre your family? You made Sasuke suffer, and through that, I suffered."

"Sasuke, I forgive you, but don't think it's for you. It's for me because I deserve to live my life without being stuck on the pain you brought."

"YOU LEFT HER ON A BENCH!" "I COULD HAVE LEFT HER ON THE STREET!"

"Just one question: was it worth it?"

Kakashi was only there on a hunch; he didn't know what to expect. What he found was two half dead men lying side by side in a sorrowful tomb.
