Itachi's Mission

Chapter 3

"Very good Sakura" Kakashi congratulated her on the mastered technique team 7 were currently working on. Kakashi had instructed them to make multiple clones of themselves, except the clones were not to look like them, but other people. Of course all of Sakura's clones looked like Sasuke. However, Naruto and Sasuke were having a bit more trouble. Naruto couldn't make more than one clone who did not resemble himself; and Sasuke had no problem making more than one clone but they all had on his signature Uchiha shirt and blue shorts. They were both eyeing each other making sure the other did not succeed in the technique.

"Come on Sasuke!" Sakura cheered "just try to think of ME, and you'll have no problem".

"Why the HELL would I want to see more of YOU!" Sasuke bellowed at the top of his lungs. Even Kakashi was a bit startled at the outburst. Sure Sasuke wasn't the nicest guy you would meet, but he was never this rude, or loud for that matter. Sakura just whispered a "sorry" and didn't say another word.

"What's wrong with you" Naruto screamed at Sasuke "she was only trying to help".

"Well maybe I don't need any help" he then grabbed a kunai ready to attack Naruto.

"Hey calm down Sasuke" Kaskashi tried to calm the little too emotional ninja down.

"I think this is enough practice for one day, I don't want you guys to start killing each other over a simple clone technique.

"Fine with me" Naruto replied. "Hey Sakura, do you want to go get some ramen with me?"

"Okay".

As Sasuke was about to leave, Kakashi called for him to stay.

"Sasuke, can I talk to you for a moment?"

Sasuke turned around to face his sensei.

"Is there something bothering you, maybe I could help".

"I'm fine" he grunted.

"I know you Sasuke there is definitely something on your mind, and talking about it can sometimes help". Kakashi motioned Sasuke to come over to where he was standing, he really wanted to make sure the troubled boy was alright. He knew about his family situation and what his older brother had done. Sasuke was now living alone in his abandoned house, and he didn't have the biggest circle of friends to talk to. Kakashi knew it could be tough to try and handle everything on your own. He was afraid if the boy didn't talk to him then he wouldn't talk to anyone.

Sasuke was currently leaning on a tree in front of Kakashi refusing to speak.

"If you don't tell me then I can't help you".

"…"

"Okay fine if you really don't want to tell me, then I won't force you". But before the jonin turned to leave he heard a quiet "wait". He turned around to face his now nervous and fidgety student.

Okay can you guess what is troubling Sasuke?

Next chapter will be the conversation between Kakashi and Sasuke, and Sasuke might find a little surprise on his way back home. And I promise there will be some action in here during later chapters, maybe when I introduce Orochimaru into the picture.
