Itachi watched as the birds slipped into the room through the half opened window, flying towards his blue haired partner who would shoo them off with the flick of his wrist. It had already been a good week since they've arrived in Konoha and he, Kisame, & Sasuke were still in the hospital. Once the pink haired medic allowed Shisui to leave Kisame was put in the room with him and Sasuke.
"Itachi I just realized something." Kisame said from his bed
"What is it?" Itachi asked
"My ring is gone."
Itachi looked to Kisames raised left hand, and indeed his ring finger vacant, his ring was gone. Looking to his right hand he found that his ring finger was also vacant of any ring, not even a mark was left from the ring.
"Ah so you finally noticed." A voice said from the doorway. Looking up both men found Tsunade walking towards them
"How?" Itachi asked
"We are connected to those rings, they wont come off us unless we die." Kisame said
"We know this...we came up with the idea of just cutting your fingers off and regrowing them back with your hair. Jiraiya has been researching them, seeing how they work, what their made from, since the two of you have been in here resting." Tsunade said
"You cut off my finger!" Kisame said hysterically
"Yes, don't be such a baby we did regrow the thing for you!" Tsunade yelled back.
"Tsunade-sama did you need something?" Itachi asked as he looked back at the busty blonde
"I just came to check up on the two of you, and there's something Kisame here needs to know." Tsunade said
"Ah."
"Kisame I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not but, the elders that had sent you on the mission had passed away ten years ago, the Mizukage of that time that also knew of this, passed away two years ago, your secret gone with them. Therefore we are not sure if the Kirigakure council will believe you when they hear this, because of the reputation you've made of your self, and since we are at war with them we highley doubt that our opinion matters at the moment." Tsunade said
"So what you're trying to say is that I might not be able go back to Kiri, and if I do I will most likely be executed." Kisame said
"Yes that is what we think, and since there is high possibility of you being executed, the council of Konoha has decided to let you make a choice of what you wish to do. Your first choice is that you may be allowed to leave and return to Kirigakure where they council makes your life or death decision...or you may stay here if you wish and become a shinobi here." Tsunade said
"The people of Konoha will not except me." Kisame replied
"They will if they knew that it was a mission that was served to you, they've already excepted Itachi & even Sasuke back, I'm sure it wont be hard for you to be excepted as well, Konoha may be the strongest of all the villages but we are not ruthless judgmental people like others think we would be, I asure you that you will have a good life." Tsunade continued
"How long do I have to think about it?" Kisame asked
"Well lets see if you do decide to stay with us you & Itachi will still be going to serve in Kemuri for five months, you'll be leaving three days from then which is only a week and a half from now, if a week is good for you." Tsunade stated
"Yeah a week will be good enough." Kisame said
"Good." Tsunade said as she walked next him her hands glowing green before they touched his rib cage area.
"Sakura did a number on you...you must have said something to piss her off." Tsunade said
"Well from the twitching of her left eye at the time, the reaction itself said she was either pissed or annoyed at what I call her." Kisame said with a grin.
"The twitching of the eye means she's annoyed, what was the name?" Tsunade asked
"Little Hana." Kisame replied
"That's a new one." Tsunade said
"Anyways your ribs are healed but you back bones were splintered & some are still fractured...she must have unconsciously added her medical chakra into the punch since it's taking a while too heal." Tsunade said
"Your apprentice my be small, bewitchingly captivating even...but she's very scary when she loses her temper." Kisame said
"Your not the first to point this out." Tsunade said as she turned to Itachi pulling some pain killers out & handing him them
"She's grown into a very powerful & intelligent kunoichi..and an attractive woman, even if she doesn't have her kekki genkai." Itachi said after gulping down the pills
Tsunade chuckled softly at this "Powerful & intelligent yes, attractive of course, but you wanna know something your father doesn't know?" Tsunade asked
"She unsealed her kekki genkai on her own around the time your bratish brother left...her grandfather told her to tell no one, but when she became my apprentice she began to tell me all her secrets, & because she is like a daughter to me I understand why her grandfather told her to keep it a secret." Tsunade continued
"If otou-san knew he'd surely convince the council that she should be used as a cattle and breed for her kekki genakai...and they'd most likely want her to be with one of the strongest clan, which is the Uchiha clan." Itachi finished
"So if your apprentice was lying about her kekki genkai, does that mean she was also lying about not being able to reproduce." Kisame asked
"No that was actually the truth, she can't reproduce. During a certain time in Konoha there was a break out of a new virus, it killed only five people all civilians, but the shinobi who caught the virus suffered horribly, some became blind, some were put into comas, and some have become mentally ill, those ones lost their minds literlly and have been locked away since, when I came back & became the Hokage I realized that I couldn't help those ones out, the others we did though. Sakura on the other hand didn't get anything like that, the virus messed her up in the most absurd way; it somehow made it to where she can no longer have children, the symptoms were almost as if the virus speed up her aging process in her female body parts, making her hit menopause at the extremely young age of twelve." Tsunade explained
"I remember that time the whole Uchiha clan stayed in the district never coming out unless someone was sent on a mission or do to work in village." Itachi exclaimed
"Well I should be going now I really don't want to wake up the brat." Tsunade announced as she left the room, the door shutting softly behind her.
Looking to his left side he found that Sasuke was still asleep, along with the red headed girl, he forgot that they were also in the room.
"You know the little hana sure did make your little otooto look like a fool before she left." Kisame said
"Hai...but someone needed to make him & Naruto-kun see the truth." Itachi said as he remembered the last time Sakura had stopped by.
-Flashback-
Itachi, Shisui, & Kisame watched as the blonde dressed in orange and black continued to talk with Sasuke, who looked as though he wasn't listening to half of the things Naruto was saying. The door opened and the three men watched as Sakura, & Nami walked into the room, closing the door softly behind them.
"Konban wa Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as Sakura took a seat next to Shisui who had been released the day before, he sat in a chair next to Itachis bed, while Nami sat in the bed with Itachi, as her fingers combed through his mid-back length raven colored locks.
"I was just telling Teme here how I can't wait till he's off probation, cause then we'll be able to be a team together you know like we used to be in the old days, the days 'Team 7' ruled all of Konoha, the days we used to hang aound and just be lazy,." Naruto said his face a lit with happiness.
"The days we used to make promises to each other about being team forever." Sasuke said in a mocking tone.
"Yeah I remember those days." Sakura said as a small smiled appeared on her face, although only a few could see the sadness it held.
"I thought we were so good together, I guess forever didn't really mean always." Sakura continued her smile gone and her tone went to that quiet whisper of hers.
"Hey Sakura-chan that's not true we're all together again, & this time we wont be torn apart like the last." Naruto said
"Why do you believe that?" Sakura asked, not receiving any answer she spoke what was probably meant to stay in her head. "It's a simple question and you can't answer it."
"Sakura you know you should just be happy that the Dobe brought me back, in all reality I would've ran when I had the first chance to." Sasuke said
"Sasuke why are you bothering with me? weren't you the one who said that the dream of 'Team 7' being reunited is over with, & that you don't care about us, didn't you tell us that three years ago? So tell me Sasuke in all reality since you've had plenty of times to run, what are you doing here still?" Sakura asked her voice taking on an edge not many were used to hearing from the small pinkette.
"Can't you just put on a smile and act as though nothing happened like everyone else?!" Sasuke asked as he got off his bed and stood up.
"No! Don't you dare try to tell me to act like nothing ever happened, you can't just come back and try to pick up where you left off, you can't come back and just expect me to let you put me down forever!" Sakura said as she got out of her chair walking up to Sasuke.
"Stop trying to act tough Sakura, we all know that you want us, the team, to get back together."Sasuke said as he straightened his back to stand at his tallest which just happened to be a good foot taller than the kunoichi.
"What makes you think I want the team to get back together?" Sakura asked as she looked up to look Sasuke dead in the eyes.
" Simple because I can still get under your skin so easily, because you still have feeling for me, even if I'm with someone else." Sasuke said as he smirked down at the girl
SMACK
The sound of skin slapping against skin echoed in the larger room, Sasukes face began to turn red at the sight of the slap, he had finally broke her, and she finally allowed her true feelings to show.
"I finally got you out of my system Sasuke, and just the fact that you're using my old feelings against me just proves that now, you wish that thing were still the same...I hate to be the one to brake it to you Sasuke but It's to late." Sakura said through clenched teeth as she watched Sasuke double over in pain as he nursed his swelling cheek.
"Dammit...just give me one more chance Sakura...I promise I won't screw up this time." Sasuke said as his looked back at Sakura, his dark grey eyes unreadable to everyone in the room.
"Gomen nasai Sasuke you had your chance...now it's over, You know I still remeber when you made me cry all those times, & ain't it funny how now I'm the one who's saying goodbye." Sakura said
"What happened to you Sakura?" Sasuke asked
"What happened is that I learned something when you were gone. I learned that you have to live and learn, and when someone does you wrong, just brush it off & move on, because the tables always turn, & one day someday you will hurt, and realize that what is gone is gone." Sakura said as she turned to leave the room.
"It's like I told you when you walked away six years ago Sasuke." Sakura said before she left the room, the door shutting behind her gently.
Only two knew exactly what she was talking about Sasuke was the one she told, and Itachi was the one who had heard.
'I know you're gonna miss me.'
-End Flashback-
And Oh how Sasuke probably did miss her, even Itachi knew how close team 7 was, he had heard the rumors of how the pink haired girl would have to watch their backs as the male members of her team, would fight the rough battles, of how she would be by their side at any time, of how she had loved him even till the end, of how she was nearly killed by her first love. How she had almost killed her self when his otooto had left, Sasuke had suck amazing friends and yet he was too blind to see what a great privilege he had.
"Hey Itachi speaking of the little hana do all the kunoichis here fight like that?" Kisame asked
"Kisame I'm gonna answer a question for you since none of the others are here...all the girls look as good as Haruno-san, and all of them are filled with pride, & jealousy." Itachi replied as he remembered what had happened between Sakura & Nami.
- Flashback -
Sakura & Nami had just walked into the room, Sakura looking annoyed as he hands fondled with something in her pockets.
"Ah Sakura-chan it's good to see you so early in the morning." Shisui said as his eyes filled with amusement at sight of Sakuras twitching left eye.
"I'm not in the mood to deal with you today." Sakura said as she pulled out a small glass container with blue liquid in it and placed it on Itachis nightstand, before she walked over to the cupboards pulling out a few syringes and needles. Walking back over to Itachi she picked up the glass container and stabbed the lid with the needle. Itachi watched as the needled sucked all the blue medicine into the syringe before she removed the needle from the cap,and squirted some of the medicine out making sure to get all the air bubbles out.
Carefully she moved over to him before she lifted his arm, turning it sideways so she could push it into one of his veins, the needle broke skin and slid into the vain easily, and she pressed onto the syringe lightly & slowly, the medicine pushed passed his blood in almost a snakish way. He watched as she pushed onto the syringe all her concentration on him, her other hand was glowing green, it was placed onto his arm, he could feel her cool chakra and the way it spread the medicine out into his body, and then it was gone, he looked up to see her smiling face.
"I wish all my patients were like you when it came to shots, not many are so calm and interested on feeling how it worked through their body." Sakura said before she moved to Sasukes side of the room.
She pulled out two different glass containers, one had a pink medicine while the other had a black medicine. She was about to inject the needle Sasuke began to ask questions
"What are you putting in my body?" he asked his voice took on a rough edge to it.
"It's for the exam." Sakura said through repressed anger.
"How do I know that it won't kill me, black is the color of death as everyone knows." Sasuke said
"If I was going to kill you, you'd know it."
"Is that a threat?"
"No it's merely the truth." Sakura said
"Sasuke-kun just tell the elders about this, so they could get rid of her & her hideous face." The red head said
Sakuras left hand twitched a bit before she regained her composure her voice taking on that dangerously sweet tone of hers.
"And may I ask who you are to think you have any say in anything?" Sakura asked
"Who am I, I'm Karin, I'm part of Sasuke-kuns team, & I have a say in everything that has to deal with Sasuke-kun." Karin said, her voice was a screechy high pitched voice
"Sasuke's team is no more since the say he was captured." A voice said sakura and the rest turned to see Fugaku & Tsunade in the room.
"Uchiha-sama, Hokage-sama." Sakura said as she bowed before them, it was obvious that today meant serious buisness & so everyone bowed respectively towards the two figures.
"Karin was is? well just to let you know you have no say in my sons matters, you may have been part of his team out there but in this village the only person who has any say is Me & my husband." Mikoto said as she walked into the room.
"Karin I think it's time that you leave & join the rest." Tsunade said
"No Karin will stay here." Sasuke said
"I'm not going anywhere without Sasuke-kun!" Karin said as she glared at Sakura
"I'm sorry to say this Karin but it seems as though you have to." Nami said her voice becoming very professional.
"No! I will not leave Sasuke-kun especially while there's a pink haired slut running around this village." Karin yelled
Sakuras hand twitched again, and before anyway could blink Sakura had pinned Karin to the wall smashing her head into the wall repeatedly.
"WILL SOMEONE PULL HER OFF!" Tsunade yelled. Nami walked up to Sakura wrapping her arms around her she tried to peel Sakura off the red head, nearly getting elbowed in the process. Shisui himself came to help as well & together they successfully got the small girl of the red head.
"See slut they wont let you hurt me." Karin said in a sing song voice
"Kura-chan calm down, she's now worth losing control over just calm down." Nami said
"Ah ain't that cute Sasuke look your itoko is trying to calm down the slut, and she also has a pet name for her, know wonder she followes the slut around, she must be the freaks bitch." Karin exclaimed
Nami turned to look at Karin her eyes held promise for death, Nami ran at Karin successfully throwing the girl to the ground, straddling Karins hips Nami repreated to puch the disrespectful red head while Shisui was trying to keep Sakura from jump in & trying to pull Nami off of Karin.
Finally after being elbowed a few times he successfully pulled Nami off the red head.
"Uchiha Nami & Haruno Sakura!" Tsunade said through gritted teeth
"Hokage-sama don't be so mad at the girls they were only defending their dignities." Shisui explained
"Still the fact is, is that they disobeyed my direct orders!" Tsunade said her voice shaking in anger
"Outside both of you." Fugaku said, he more calm than Tsunade, everyone in the room watched as Sakura stuffed her hands in her pockets & walked out of the room calmly.
While Nami, turned around her hands at her sides clenching & unclenching as she tried to control her anger, then they watched as she slammed the door shut.
"Tsunade-sama I think you were to hard on the both of them this time." Mikoto said
BOOM
The door to the room crashed open, Namis body flew into the room, they all watched as the female Uchiha stood up & ran out of the room. Another crash was heard, they watched as the wall cracked, another crash and they saw Sakuras body fly into the room along with the fragments of the wall. Sakura landed on her butt skidding to a stop right against the other wall, that's when they saw Nami enter through the hole, Sakura stood up from her spot on the floor, dusting her self off, their eyes meet before they ran at each other, only to be thrown away from each other. The sound of skin hitting cement was heard through the room before the dust cleared.
Tsunade was standing in the middle of the room, her anger showing quiet well now, while on her far left side was Nami laying against the wall while on the far right side of her was Sakura who was leaning casually against the wall.
"And you said I was too hard on them!" Tsunade said as sge turned to look at Mikoto
"Ah well girls will be girls." Mikoto said with a sheepish smile.
"Ah Shishou we were just venting out our pent up anger...like you said a good spar always helps with that." Sakura said as she observed her nails lazily.
"Tsunade you have told her that so you can't get mad at her for doing something you said she could do." Jiraiya said as she nodded his head.
"Well...Fugaku I need some help here." Tsunade whispered to the eldest Uchiha.
Fugaku cleared his throat before he began to talk "By venting out your pent up anger you destroyed this side of the hospital."
"Exactly & that is why you will leave this room & we'll discuss this situation more in my office...I do not want to see your faces until then now out of my sight." Tsunade said as she turned her face away from Sakura
the others watched as Sakura lazily stood up straight stuffing her hands into her pockets before she slowly made her way out, she stopped at the door though when she realized that Nami was not following her.
"Nami-
"- That red headed bimbo is the one who caused this Sakura, she's the reason why were getting kicked out of here, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt her to take one more hit." Nami said as she walked closer to Karin.
"Nami if you hit her once you will be tempted to hit her again & again & again, if we leave now our judgment may not be as unfavorable." Sakura said
"Understandable but still I'm not just gonna be like you & let some bigheaded slattern with ugly red hair walk all over me." Nami said as she took another step forward
"Nami you're walking on thin ice at the moment if I were you I'd-
"You're not me so shut the hell up." Nami said as she cut Sakura off
"Uchiha Nami-
"Tsunade are you really gonna allow one of Orochimarus henchmen walk over any of your shinobi? It seems as though you are since usually you allow us to take hits at any enemy shinobi in your presence."
"Urasai Nami you're pushing their limits now drop it & lets go." Sakura said her voice carried an authoritative edge to it as she spoke
"Fine." Nami said as she turned to walk away
"Damn Senju always messing with my fun." Nami muttered under her breath
"What did you say Uchiha!?" Tsunade asked as her hand twitched. Nami turned around her before she spoke again.
"I said that you damn Senju are always messing with my fun." she turned around again & walked away
"You dare talk like that to me you little brat!" Tsunade said as she walked towards the girl who had stopped at Sakura side, Tsunade was stopped also when Jiraiya grabbed her by the wrist.
"Tsunade let her go she just needs to let go of her anger a little." Jiraiya said before he heard Nami speak to Sakura again.
"But then again Sakura you're not a real Senju anyway...your mom was just an orphaned infant that was taken in by the Sandaime under pity." Nami said before she walked away from Sakura.
Nami was about to open the door when she was pulled back by her hair roughly & into the wall. Kicking back at her assailant. Sakura fell to the floor, watching as Nami turned to look at her with a smug smirk across her features, Sakura swiped her feet under Namis quickly making the steely eyed girl lose her balance & fall to the floor with her.
Sakura pulled Nami forward toward her by her leg, hitting her across her face as soon as she was close enough making the girl flybackwards into the wall again. Sakura stood up again walking towards Nami before she picked the girl up by her neck, then throwing her back onto the ground like a rag doll.
"ENOUGH!" Tsunade yelled at the two girls.
"Now listen both of you, when you're in my presence there is no Senju & there is no Uchiha, no names seperate us, we're all shinobi when in my presence do you undertand?!" Tsunade yelled at the two girls
"Hai."Sakura & Nami said in unison before Nami dissapeared in a whirl of moon flowers, Sakura turned to look at Tsunade a bit a small silent message passing between them before she herself dissapears in a whirl wind if fire lilies, & sparkling dust.
"Where'd they go?" Shisui asked out of confusion when the girls dissapeared.
"Doesn't matter they'll be back shortly anyways." Tsunade said as she turned her attention went to the three people walking into the room.
The Blondie wore a sheepish smile as he took in the damage that was inflicted on the room.
"I take it someone got Sakura-chan mad." The blonde asked as he walked further into the room.
"Or someone called her something they shouldn't have." the grey haired man added
"Or perhaps she was just annoyed by one of her former teammates...Tsunade-hime the test results have finished." The brunette female said
"So what's wrong with her Shizune?" Tsunade asked her other apprentice.
"Karin-san fainted do to fatigue which was cause by-
A whirlwind of fire lilies interrupted Shizune from her report & they watched as Sakura dropped an unconscious Nami onto the floor gently.
"Sorry about that as you were." Sakura said as she walked over to stand between TSunade & Jiraiya.
"Like I was saying the fatigue was caused by Karin-san being three weeks pregnant." Shizune announced
Karin squealed in delight as she hugged Sasuke. causing Nami to wake up from her unconscious state, standing on wobbly feet, her eyes looked to the squealing red head & she growled loudly before she went to lay next to Itachi.
"Uchiha Sasuke!" Fugaku said through gritted teeth
"Now, now Uchiha-sama the child may belong to one of the other boys-
"-I would never cheat on Sasuke-kun!" Karin said as she cut off Mikoto
Fugaku's anger rose as his eyes meets Sasukes, it was clear that the youngest Uchiha did not care about anything at the moment.
"I want the child terminated." Fugaku said as he turned to Tsunade
"Hai Uchiha-san." Tsunade said as she nudged Sakura forward, the cherry haired kunoichi walked up to the Karin, Shizune threw a glass container at Sakura that was filled with a red liquid in it, Sakura caught it effortlessly as she pulled out a syringe from her pocket stabbing the needle into the cap of the container. They watched as the syringe filled with the blood colored medicine before Sakura pulled the needle out & threw the container into a bin in back of her, she quirted some of the liquid out of the sryringe making sure to get out all the air bubbles in it. It was when she had positioned the needle at vein of her arm that Sasuke finally spoke up.
"Stop I'm keeping the child." and with that he took the needle out f Sakuras hand & threw it into the bin.
"You're still to young to have any say in this, and until you're eighteen you won't have anysay in anything." Fugaku said
"But it's my child I have all the say in it as the father, I can do as I wish." Sasuke countered
"Ah but you belong to my clan & as the clan leader I can do as I please when it comes down to my clans men."
"Then I'll leave the clan."
"I'm still you're father I have every right to do as I please with your unborn child, since you are my son-
"You'd allow Itachi to keep the child if it was his!"
"Itachi would never sleep with such a girl...or a girl at that, & he would never impregnate a woman unless he knew he wanted her to have his child." Fugaku said
"You always make Itachi seem like he can't do wrong!"
"He's not as foolish as you-
"Otou-san I think you should allow him to keep the child, perhaps he will learn from this & grow into the man you wish him to be." Itachi said growing tired from hearing the fight turn into a fight about him.
Fugaku looked at Itachi for a while before he looked back to Sasuke realizing that Itachi had a point.
"Fine then keep it, but know this when the child is born it will not carry the name Uchiha, it's Sharingan will be sealed away, you will be staying in the Main house, now one will train the child, & the child will not be allowed to become a shinobi at all." Fugaku said before he left the room with Mikoto trailing behind him
Everyone else left the room leaving the two Uchiha, Kisame, Karin, Naruto, & Sakura in the room. Sakura turned to walk out only to stop when she reached the door, she turned around with a small smile before she spoke.
"Welcome to Konoha Kisame-san." With that Sakura walked out of the room closing the door softly behind her.
- End Flashback -
Oh how he loved catfights, although unlike Kisame & Shisui he kept that to himself, but it was only good when you didn't have any cousins in the fights of course.
Now because of Sasuke he was going to be an uncle...Sasuke was making him seem older than he was, why Sasuke would want to sleep with the red head he did not know & did not care to know. He was already disgusted with her, even after being told that she was pregnant with his brothers child she continued to stare at him like he was a piece of meat, the girl obviously had no decency & manners, but if she was gonna be living with them his Okaa-san was obviously gonna fix that, too bad he wasn't gonna get to watch it.
