Chapter 3 Oh Boy

Normal POV

"Hiro are you done getting ready yet?!" Mariah yelled at poor little Hiro.

"I'm coming!" He said practically ripping down the stairs.

"Do you always have to wear that?" Mariah asked as she looked at Hiro's clothes. Since Hiro's father wouldn't train him, he trained with Mariah and Mashi. Hiro always wore Sasuke's old clothes that the younger Sasuke had worn. It annoyed Mariah seeing Hiro copy her strict father.

"What's wrong with this?" Hiro asked as Mariah shook her head at him.

"Let's go, their probably at the gates by now." Mashi commanded and with that, they left.

A little while later, at the gates……

"There they are." Mariah whispered, they were all hiding and masking their chakra.

"Yeah, let's hear what they're saying." Mashi commanded as they all listened in.

"Yay, Sakura-chan's coming!" Naruto shouted as he looked at Sakura.

"Yeah..." Sakura said knowing that he would get excited

"So, Sasuke finally let you come on a mission?" Kakashi asked in surprise

"In a way." She said trying not to lock eyes with her husband.

"She asked Tsunade without me knowing." Sasuke said glaring at her.

"Well, glad she's still alive!" Naruto shouted glaring at Sasuke who was still glaring at Sakura.

"Of course she's alive, but we are going to discuss this." Sasuke said watching Sakura closely.

"More like argue if you ask me!" Naruto shouted, turning his back to the male Uchiha.

"Why don't we just get going?" Kakashi said noticing how tense Sakura had been getting. Kakashi looked at Sasuke who had seemed to notice to.

"Sounds good…" Sakura said walking through the gates.

"You know, you can't just keep her in the prison you call a house forever right?" Naruto asked in a low voice, so only Sasuke could hear.



"We'll see about that." Sasuke said with the same voice level as Naruto, and then he walked past the gates. Naruto gave a small sigh before following them.

"Let's move." Mashi commanded as him and his younger siblings followed team Kakashi.

"I'm still surprised you let Sakura come on this mission!" Naruto said knowing that the mission was to take out Uchiha Itachi.

"I didn't have a say in the matter." Sasuke said hatefully, he didn't want her to get hurt.

"You can't blame her for wanting to go on a mission!" Naruto said looking ahead.

"Yeah, but did it have to be this one?" Sasuke asked, knowing full well that Sakura was listing to the conversation. He was mad, not at Sakura but at the Hokage for letting Sakura come.

"You can't expect her to just hope you come back alive, she wants to make sure you do!" Naruto said now glaring at Sasuke for being an idiot. 'And people say I'm the idiot' Naruto thought knowing that Sakura was unhappy.

"This doesn't concern you, so stay out of it!" Sasuke said raising his voice. Sasuke wondered how Naruto should know what he was feeling, after all Naruto just didn't get it. Sakura was his, she was his to protect. Sakura and the kids were more important than Uchiha Itachi at the moment!

"Okay we'll camp here tonight and move in the morning!" Kakashi announced after a good 6 hours.

"Naruto will share a tent with me and Sasuke will share with Sakura!" Kakashi said as they all got into their tents.

"Sakura…" Sasuke began as he looked at his pink haired wife.

"I know you're mad, but I just wanted to come…" Sakura said hoping to defend herself, but she knew it wouldn't work.

"Did it have to be this mission?" Sasuke began getting madder. Before Sakura could answer he began again. "No it didn't!" "Did you care to ask me?!" "No!" Sakura was growing more scared for he now had the sharingan glaring at her.

"I knew you would have said no!" she said before he continued.

"Then why did you take this mission?!" He yelled with a killing intent.

"It's because I wanted to help!" Sakura yelled to him.

"That's your excuse?!" He yelled, his sharingan growing redder.

"Please stop…" Sakura whispered, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

"Why should I?!" He yelled getting closer to her. Sakura backed up now scared that he would kill her.



"Y-you're scaring me!" She screamed backing up even more. He kept moving closer.

"Do you have any idea how scared I am at the idea of you fighting Itachi?!" He yelled still going closer.

"I'm scared for you to you know!" She said closing her eyes and letting the tears fall.

"I can handle myself; you are what I'm concerned about!" He said truthfully. It was true; Sasuke wanted Itachi to keep away from Sakura.

"…" Sakura was too caught up in crying to respond. Sakura wearily picked herself up and ran as fast as she could out of the tent.

"Sakura come back here!" Sasuke yelled now fully mad at her. He heard no answer and ran out cursing to himself. He hoped he would find her and she would be okay. He heard water and ran towards it. As he reached a small stream, he saw Sakura in a ball by a large rock. She was crying her heart out as she held tighter to herself. Sasuke didn't speak, but he kept walking towards her. Sakura noticed and scooted back while still in a ball.

"Go away!" she shouted hugging herself as tight as she could.

"No…" Sasuke said while still walking towards her.

"I don't want to die!" she screamed as more tears came flowing down her face. Sasuke was shocked at what she said, but kept walking towards her. He didn't want her to think he was going to kill her that was the last thing he wanted.

"It's okay…" Sasuke said in a whispering voice. Sakura began to uncurl a little, but kept herself in ball. Sasuke walked over to her and sat next to her. She kept crying and her eyes stayed closed.

"I'm sorry!" Sakura screamed as even more tears ran down her face.

"For what?" Sasuke asked Sakura softly, moving his hand in her hair a little.

"For being so weak and for making you worry!" Sakura said in muffled sobs.

"What did I tell you, about apologizing for things that aren't your fault?" Sasuke asked as he looked up at him. "Listen, I'm the one who should be sorry, but…" he thought about how to say what he wanted.

"But?" Sakura asked looking at him.

"You can't just decide all of this stuff without me knowing." Sasuke said now looking at the creek.

"I know, but you would have said no…" Sakura answered trying to pick herself up from her lying down position. Sasuke pulled her over to him and set her on his lap.

"Yes, but you know I have reasons for it…" Sasuke said holding tighter.



"Yeah I know, but I wanted to make sure you lived through this mission." She said closing her eyes. Sasuke Hned and Sakura fell asleep. Sasuke picked up the sleeping female Uchiha and carried her back to the tent. The kids accidentally fell asleep in the spot where they had heard the conversation from the tent. Kakashi and Naruto had gone to their tent without noticing.

"No…" Sasuke whispered as he looked at his three sleeping children. He put Sakura in the tent then the children one by one. "We're going to have to head back; I won't let them get involved…" Sasuke whispered as he stood guard.

Morning-

"Mashi wake up…" Mariah whispered to her half awakened brother.

"What?" He asked rubbing his eyes and looking at his surroundings. "Where are we?" He asked.

"We're in Father and Mothers tent, which means they know we're here…" Mariah said beginning to panic.

"Uh oh…" Mashi said and looked over at Hiro. Hiro was in sitting position thinking about what had happened.
-Hiro's Flashback-

Sasuke walked over and picked up Hiro. Hiro had slightly opened his eyes to see what was carrying him. 'Father?' he thought as he closed his eyes. He had thought it was a dream.

-End of flashback-

"Father…" Hiro whispered to himself.

"What about him?" Mashi asked his little brother seeing that Hiro had just noticed them.

"Oh, he brought using here; I thought it was a dream so I let him…" Hiro told his older brother and sister.

"You guys are away?" The three turned to see their mother.

"Uh yeah." Mariah answered nervously.

"Alright, then we can eat breakfast and head back." Sakura said as the kids gave her a questioning look.

-At breakfast-

"Hurry and eat so we can head back." Sasuke told the group while eating.

"Why are we going back, aren't you on a mission Father?" Hiro asked his father with a lot of pride.

"Yes, but you three aren't part of the mission." He said with a hint of anger in his voice.



"So what, we can take care of ourselves." Hiro said hoping he would change his mind. Hiro knew his Father had not known about his training with his older siblings. Hiro was actually the skilled one in the family; he had surpassed his brother and sister a year ago. It was true that his brother was a Chunin and his sister was a genin, but Hiro was jonin level.

"You have never even fought someone before, so how would you defend yourself?" Sasuke asked with a hint of amusement.

"I'm better on offence then defense…" Hiro responded hoping his father wouldn't get suspicious.

"It's true father…" Mashi said looking at Hiro with a smile. Hiro had been waiting to tell his father how strong he was, and he finally did it.

"How would you two know?" Sasuke said growing suspicious, though the question was more to Hiro then Mashi.

"I've been training with Mashi and Mariah for the past three years…" He responded like it was no big deal.

"You what?!" Sasuke was now angry. He still believed that Hiro was too young to train.

"I trained with them, and I surpassed them a year ago." Hiro said finally letting it all out. The reason he knew to wake up a little when his father was carrying him was because of his senses,

"Yeah right, it doesn't matter how much you lie to me because we're going back!" Sasuke said now very angry. How dare his son lie to him, Hiro doesn't even know what he was saying according to Sasuke.

"I'm not lying!" Hiro yelled now at the same level of anger as his father.

"Prove it!" Sasuke said getting up and pointing to a small clearing. Hiro grew excited; this was Hiro's chance to prove himself!

"Oh boy…" Sakura said as the two male Uchiha's walked to the clearing.

Thanks for reading and I need more reviews! The next chapter will be the fight between the two. Will Hiro Prove himself? Well I guess you'll have to wait - Yes being evil is one of my good Qualities.

Sakura: It's true.

Me: Shut up or else…

Sakura: Or else….

Me: Or else I'll make this a SakuShino story!

Sakura: But you hate SakuShino!

Me: That doesn't stop me from doing it!



Sasuke hugs Sakura from behind

Sasuke: She's mine! Shino can go marry one of his bugs!
