Summary: Sasuke glared at the hyperactive blonde who had managed to land a hit on his brother. Who does that idiot think he is striking his brother like that? Zabuza won't be happy to know they failed…
Chapter One: Found
"Now what to do with these two?"
Thirteen-year-old Uchiha Sasuke pouted a bit as he watched the infuriating silver haired shinobi muse to himself talking as if they weren't here. What's with that metal headband like thing covering his eye and that ridiculous mask hiding half his face, you'd think that there was something wrong with his facial features.
He looked over to his brother on a whim only to see Itachi's emotionless face with suppressed anger. A dark bruise was forming on the side of his face where that blonde managed to land a hit while Itachi was focused on Kakashi.
Sasuke glared at the hyperactive blonde, Itachi could have taken that brat any day if only Kakashi didn't 'return for the dead.' Damn it, Sasuke was so sure that silver haired man was dead!
Thin wires bound them to the trunk of a tree, even without being bound, Sasuke had no desire to go anywhere else until he managed to get back at the blonde idiot. Who does that idiot think he is striking his brother like that?
He felt Itachi's free hand press his shoulder down, Sasuke didn't notice that he was straining against the wire and already had a thin line of blood coming down his arms. Sasuke relaxed, the wires loosened, he knew that they were now planning their escape.

Uchiha Itachi had a bad feeling about this the moment he set eyes on that silver haired man, whose name was most likely Kakashi. He gave an unnerving aura about him one that said he knew of death and the tragedies that befall the most unfortunate. Itachi felt like, that man was like him.
Shaking out those thoughts as he remembered Sasuke was waiting in the opposite tree for the signal. Their signal was the cawing of blackbirds, since bird sounds usually littered sure open areas they were in. They attacked, striking the adult first.
Once Itachi heard a satisfying crack, he turned away from Sasuke and hurried about trying to dispose of the other two. He attack the blonde first, expecting him to react, it was safest to strike out the strongest. Assuming that the boy was strong.
However, the blonde stood rooted to the spot as he made a large gash on the other's hand and watched Sasuke attacking the girl and old man. The old man was their target, but it was important to dispose of all the ninja first. An old man can't possible do anything, but trained ninjas could.
"YOU!" Sasuke's voice cried out.
Itachi turned around to see the silver haired man holding his younger brother in a death lock, not letting the younger boy escape. In his head he formulated a plan to get Sasuke away from that man when suddenly from nowhere a fist came flying at his face. He cursed out loud letting his concentration slip.
Before he knew it, they were shoved to the base of the tree and tied there in a blink of an eye. Damn.

Uzumaki Naruto laughed sheepishly as his only teammate, Haruno Sakura, congratulated him on actually managing to do something when the two rogues attacked. In truth, he froze when his eyes met the red of the other male's eyes. The red eyes flashed before him, making Naruto wonder whether he'd seen it or not.
He stared unashamed at the one with long hair and was quite surprised when the teen looked back at him giving an amused smirk as a way of saying 'you know if your teacher didn't come I would have flattened you.' The other just gave Naruto the accusing look as if spiteful that he hit his sibling.
This whole mission with the old man Tazuna was getting boring until those two ambushed them. To protect him against bandits and other things didn't seem to be that great of a challenge, but now, things seem a lot more interesting.
…Even if he still doesn't get what's going on.

"Uchiha Itachi. Age 13, male, physically fit, no diseases or familial sicknesses," he said with an even voice not betraying whatever he felt, if he felt at all.
"Uchiha Sasuke. Age 13, male, physically fit, no disease or familial sickness," the other chimed automatically after as if they've done this many times already.
Kakashi suspects they have, especially if they go around offering their services. From their lack of rank, Kakashi assumed that they belonged to no village. Everything seemed to be normal about these two, twins from every angle and it was more than a bit obvious who was older and who was the younger. At thirteen wandering around aimlessly and aiding those that can help them survive, that wasn't unusual, just a little unusual for this time of peace, but everyone has their own circumstances.
Especially if their surname is 'Uchiha.'
The Uchiha Massacre wasn't exactly a secret, but it wasn't something to over look either. The destruction of one of the most prominent clans in Konoha was a big hit to the economy and the public. If a murderer could get into Konoha and slaughter all the Uchihas, then how do you know they couldn't kill everyone in the village?
Barred windows and sealed doors were enforced every night and packed with ANBU during the day with extra enforcements at night. Those were the times of panic. No one dared go out on by himself or herself during the night in fright of being killed. Only shinobi of the jounin rank or higher were able to go outside of the village.
The whole Uchiha clan was reported dead. Only three remained. Uchiha Shusui who became a missing-nin.
And the twin brothers who were taken by Uchiha Shusui.

A/N: I give dragonmage27 all my love. The only one who reviewed. Then again, my summary isn't that catchy. I should change it shouldn't I?
Well, here's a little history about them. You learn of Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi. Tazuna is the bridge builder from the first couple of books. Where it goes on to Zabuza and Haku? Yah.
Thanks for reading to the measly two people who are reading. I KNOW YOUR READING THIS VAL, YOU BETTER BE. YOU ASKED ME FOR THE LINK AS WELL!
