I would like to start off by thanking everyone for their support for me during my time of recovery, it really meant a lot to me. I just gotta keep in mind that I still have Kujo (my other dog) and he's just a bundle of sunshine X3 Well I don't have much else to say except here's Ch. 9, sorry if i made you wait so long and please forgive grammer errors.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Many students gazed in terror at the sight before them. Gaara Shubaku was walking with a girl! Yet none of them had the guts to look at the sight for long, they said that if you so much as look at him in the eye you'll die that very night by the demon that possess his body. Gaara was not a man you should mess with, he's never actually cause trouble in class, nor has he ever purposefully done mischief. However many of the students were petrified of him.
Only one student in Konoha High history has ever been on friendly terms with him, and that would be Naruto Uzumaki. Before the two were friends though Gaara and Naruto had a huge fight in which both individuals were sent to the hospital. Naruto had suffered perhaps the worst injuries; three broken ribs one which had actually punctured his lung forcing him to go into surgery, his face needed several stitches, 56 total, and some internal bleeding. Of course Gaara had his share of battle scars too, not as serious but he stayed hospitalized for several weeks. He received a broken jaw, and a slight concussion from a terrible head butt that Naruto had slammed on him.
That was in the past now, Naruto found out that he and Gaara had more in common then they thought. Naruto was previously ostracized because his parents were a famous pair of serial murderers in Konoha known as 'The Nine Foxes'. They were given this title because when they'd kill it was always nine selected people. They'd gather their victims together and sit them in a circle, and kill them one by one; each victim would watch the other die until it was their turn. Their only child Naruto would often stay home alone; unaware of the monstrosities his parents were committing, all that he knew was that they loved him very much. But one day the police burst into his home and shot down his parents, he didn't see this because a man to whom everyone referred to as 'Sir Hokage' held him closely, covering his innocent eyes. He was a child, small and scared, there was so much noise but the man continued whispering in his ear, telling him everything would be okay. The Nine Foxes had killed exactly 90 people; each had a family with at least one child or more, each were upstanding citizens with no criminal record, all of them innocent and maniacally murdered. In the end after his parents were long gone Naruto found himself an orphan and once the news got out about the murderers everyone looked at Naruto with a new sense of fear and hatred. So when he fought Gaara Naruto realized that they weren't that different. Gaara was hated by everyone too; the cold cruel look that people would give Naruto would be given just as much to Gaara.
"Hey Gaara! You know Hinata?" Naruto came bounding up the hallway, students moving hastily out of his way. His blonde hair sparkled like yellow diamonds. Hinata who had been following Gaara quietly smiled at Naruto.
"Naruto… how do you know her?" Gaara asked suspiciously.
"I'm going to help her out today" Naruto said, "What about you! Don't tell me you're going to deliver her to me, what a nice guy, thanks Gaara I was going to spend all morning looking for her"
"I'm not handing her over to you" Gaara lifted a brow. "She's my girlfriend"
Naruto for once in his life had nothing to say. His face went from cheery to plain blank; it took him a moment to compute what Gaara had said.
Girlfriend?
"But I promised a friend I'd help her out" he countered.
"You won't be needed then, I think I can show my own girlfriend around school" Gaara retorted.
"Well then I'll join you guys, hope you don't mind a third wheel" Naruto laughed as he scooted between them, practically wrenching Gaara's hand from Hinata's and slinging his arm around their shoulders. Gaara growled in anger but refrained from hitting Naruto.
"So Hinata how do you know Gaara, come one tell me, I didn't know this ice cube could actually talk to girls" laughed Naruto, smacking Gaara on the back in sport. Gaara hissed maniacally, emerald eyes shooting lethal daggers at Naruto.
Hinata looked at Naruto quietly, she didn't feel comfortable explaining her whole life story and she looked at Gaara for help. He only glanced at her with a blank face and looked away.
"We used to talk a lot when we were kids" was her only answer.
"Oh… how come you didn't mention her Gaara?" Naruto turned his head dramatically towards Gaara. Gaara decided to ignore the question and turned his emerald eyes away.
BRIIINNNG !!!
The bell suddenly rang and Naruto quickly grabbed Hinata's hand and rushed towards the mass of students, looking mischievously behind him Naruto smiled innocently.
"I'm going to steal your girlfriend for a moment, if we don't hurry we'll be late for class" Naruto comically saluted Gaara and went sprinting before Gaara could get his murderous hands on him. Damn you Naruto, next time I see you I'm going to punish you for touching her.
Hinata ran furiously behind Naruto her feet slightly dragging as he sped quickly towards class. He swiftly dodged students, apologizing frantically. His grip on her was firm and strong, and he slowed down a little to allow her time to catch up. They continued their frivolous race until they finally arrived to their first class.
"Kakashi! I'm not late! I still have three minutes see" he yelled pointing frantically to the clock ticking quietly on the wall. Everyone in class looked at him with angry and annoyed looks on their faces. It seemed their teacher wasn't there, which wasn't much of a surprise considering Kakashi taught the class.
"Naruto why are you yelling so early in the morning?" grunted Sasuke. Relief swept over him like a soft breeze, behind Naruto stood a flustered Hinata trying to catch her breath. Sasuke was worried that Hinata might have gotten lost or run away once she saw a girl.
"I was looking for Hinata," smiled Naruto pushing her forward to a desk diagonal from Sasuke, and Naruto sat himself to the desk behind her, which was parallel to Sasuke. Some of the girls in class looked curiously at her causing shivers and chills to run up and down Hinata's back. Sasuke looked at her with gentle eyes, and smiled very softly. To smile openly would cause uproar and Sasuke knew that many of his female classmates were watching him like lusty harpies, no, it was best to smile quietly so that only Hinata would see. Hinata however didn't return the gesture. She was actually very frightened and worried. She didn't take Gaara's threat lightly, she knew that being around Sasuke made Gaara uneasy but she had no idea that he felt so threatened by Sasuke that he was willing to kill him. She looked at the board with shaky eyes pretending that Sasuke wasn't staring at her heatedly.
"Okay class, settle down" Their teacher Mr. Hatake walked in and threw his firm rump on his desk. "Take out your text books and begin on problems 2- 40"
"Hey you're late Kakashi!" blurted Naruto.
"That's Mr. Hatake to you Naruto, and for you information I was making copies of your class assignment for you so that you wouldn't have to write down all the problems, but perhaps I should make you all write these quadratic problems on your own since you seem so worried about my tardiness" drawled Kakashi, waving the papers carelessly in his hands.
"Naruto!" the class snarled at him, causing him to pout childishly and purse his lips. He folded his arms and sulked into his seat.
"He's always so strict on my tardies" he huffed silently so that only he could hear.
Hinata looked over her paper for perhaps the tenth time. She finished it very quickly but decided to hold on to it. When she had finished she looked around her to find that everyone else were still in the first couple of problems, others hadn't even bothered to start. I finished really fast, did I do something wrong? She glanced nervously at her paper. She had the Quadratic Formula memorized by heart and had often done mental drills in her head when she had nothing to do in the basement. So this work seemed really simple to her, she turned to Sasuke who had his paper turned down on his desk. It seemed like he finished too. After a while of waiting the bell had finally rang.
"If you didn't finish the work I want it on my desk first thing tomorrow morning!" shouted Kakashi to the speedy students already dashing out the door. After most of the students left Sasuke got up and handed Kakashi his paper, which he purposefully turned in to the end of class out of habit.
"Here" he threw the paper on his desk and glanced around the classroom to find Naruto still scribbling furiously at his paper, trying desperately to finish the last problem and then he looked at Hinata who was sitting patiently at her desk looking a little fidgety as a fellow female student passed by her accidentally bumping her arm as she attempted to leave the classroom. Hinata froze when she got bumped, all the color left her face.
"Sorry" spoke the girl double taking when she hit her, and quickly rushed out of the room. Hinata still continued to pale. After Sasuke was assured that he and Naruto were the only people left in the room, excluding Kakashi of course. He walked quickly towards Hinata and leaned closely to her face.
"Are you okay?" he whispered, worry lathered all other his tongue. Hinata bit her lip and nodded. She craned her neck around her like a nervous hen, expecting Gaara to leap out of no where and snap Sasuke's neck.
"Let's go to our next class then" he grabbed her things and shoved them in Naruto's arms. "Carry these for her" he commanded.
Hinata hesitated before she got up; Sasuke and Naruto were already walking outside the door.
"Are you coming or what?" scoffed Sasuke, eyeing her impatiently.
Hinata walked to the door and peered outside, most of the students were jostling each other in order to reach their classroom. She saw no signs of Gaara and sighed softly to herself. It wasn't that she feared him, no she cared about Gaara a lot, it was Sasuke she worried about. Sasuke meant too much to her, he had done so much for her and she truly feared seeing Gaara act so hostile towards him. After the coast was clear she walked happily towards the two men waiting for her outside the hallway.
"Sasuke!"
"Sasuke!"
Sasuke flinched and took several steps away from Naruto and Hinata. He looked behind him to see the girl he really, really didn't want to see.
Shit it's Kin
A girl with a waterfall of black hair falling all the way to her waist came prancing towards Sasuke. Everyone knew Kin, she was a vicious girl that a criminal record to match. Konoha High wasn't a school known for gangs or trouble makers, as a matter of fact because most of the teachers have military experience no one would dream of causing a riot. But Kin was something completely different, she controlled her peers with a mere glance, there was no need to threaten them. She and Sakura had gotten into a rather lethal fight in a park once, no serious damage, but Sakura was forced to defend herself and her right for Sasuke's friendship. The same thing happened to Ino and Ten Ten. Both females of course earned their right to hang with whom ever they please, including Sasuke. Tension would rise when ever Kin saw a girl talking to Sasuke, especially when they didn't fight her for the right to.
"Sasuke I haven't seen you in so many days!" she chirped, throwing dirty looks at Naruto and Hinata who were standing a little too close to 'her' Sasuke.
"Leave me alone" responded Sasuke coldly. He stalked past Naruto and Hinata heading towards class. Hinata stood near Naruto paralyzed at the sight of Kin. She clenched Naruto's jacket and practiced her breathing exercises.
"Aww… Sasuke don't be like that. Who got you angry, was it that Sakura girl, do you want me to teach her a lesson for you?" Kin walked behind Sasuke like a bitch in heat.
"Naruto hurry up and get to class, if Orochimaru catches us tardy on the first day back he'll ass rape us" Sasuke spoke, completely ignoring Kin, however, Naruto sensed the tension in his voice, he was actually using a secretive code which translated to 'Naruto get Hinata to fuckin class before Kin gets suspicious' he looked at Naruto with grave eyes and continued his brooding walk, ignoring Hinata as well. Sasuke could already see Kin eyeing Hinata, her eyes were turning lethal and envious.
"Holy Shit you're right, come on!" Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand yet again and went off sprinting, as soon as he had gotten a nice good distance away from Kin Naruto shout back.
"Hey Kin…" Kin tore her possessive eyes from Sasuke and looked maliciously at Naruto.
"What the hell do you want?"
"The dog pound called me, they said they want their Bitch back" and as soon as Naruto finished his sentence he flipped her off and ran like a fox from a swarm of trained hunting hounds, his laugh echoed like a madman through the hallway, Hinata practically being dragged behind him.
Kin snarled menacingly and took off in the opposite direction, legs stiff and lips raised showing off her teeth leaving Sasuke completely alone, which he took advantage of and quickly hastened his pace so that he wouldn't be late to class.

All through class Hinata felt several heated stares at her, some from some female students who glared due to the fact that she sat right next to Sasuke. Her teacher Mr. Orochimaru had given her the assigned seat, hence the venomous eyes. But perhaps the most flustering stare came from the teacher himself. Mr. Orochimaru, he gave the class an assignment to write the life cycle of a virus and several other pathogens. As Hinata worked on the paper she would often glance at the Orochimaru, at first she smiled at him, but he would return the smile with dark eyes. He sat behind his desk, leaning back on his chair in a lethargic manner resting his head on his pale palm. The small creaking of his chair echoed through out the room as he rocked back and forth. She was very happy that he was acknowledging her, but his look was very dangerous and cold. She chose to ignore it and smiled innocently at him, sweet as a newborn puppy. He was after all the man who saved her, her life was in debt to him.
What the hell is his fuckin problem!
Sasuke glared not daggers, but sleek swords at the teacher. Since Hinata stepped in class Orochimaru had not moved his predator-like eyes from her. It set Sasuke in a horrible rage, he felt like a bull pawing the ground just waiting to shove his horns into anything. He clenched the side of the desk, his knuckles turning white from the intensity and just as quickly as the class had started it ended with the bells shrill shriek.
BRIIINNNGGG!!
Orochimaru stood up, his eyes still digging deeply into Hinata. I don't think she told anyone, if she did my ass would have been in jail by now, Perhaps she kept it a secret, its strange though, Kabuto had told me her mother died, I killed her mother, shouldn't she hate me but it's the opposite with her she seemed quiet eager to meet me in fact, but I should still continue with my plan, it's best not to leave any witnesses, although if she does die I'm sure Itachi will immediately suspect someone from the school… maybe I should wait and see where this all leads to, my plan of course is fool proof, I just have to make it so that Gaara Shubaku looks like he did it all, it shouldn't be that hard, especially since he has already murdered someone in the past.
Orochimaru snapped back into reality and dismissed his class.
"Turn in your assignment and leave" he hissed, by now several students noticed that he stared at Hinata, they didn't question his strange infatuation but bolted towards the door, ignoring him completely.
Hinata walked towards Orochimaru. She smiled and gently handed him the paper, his eyes narrowed into slits as he took the paper. His cold clammy hand grasped it and pried it from her soft ones. Then he looked behind her to find Sasuke seething, his paper was gritted in his palm, his knuckles had gone from white to almost purple. Orochimaru took his paper apprehensively. He was always cautious around Sasuke, for one his brother was the head of ANBU the very man hunting him down, if Sasuke were to get suspicious of anything he could easily report Itachi and get Orochimaru caught.
"Come one Hinata, our next class is on the second floor and you'll get lost if you don't hurry"
Orochimaru almost, repeat almost, had a stroke when he heard Sasuke talking to Hinata so familiarly. Fuck… don't tell me Sasuke is friends with her.
Sasuke glared maliciously at Orochimaru and placed his hand on Hinata's shoulder instinctively.
Double fuck, he is, shit that completely messes everything up, no no no no… Wait what if he isn't that close to her, maybe he was just asked to be an escort. From what I've noticed in the past Sasuke doesn't usually bond with his female peers.
"Ah, Hinata, I didn't realize you and Mr. Uchiha were friends" he pointed out, praying to Lucifer that she would deny it.
"So what if we are, it doesn't concern you" sneered Sasuke. He prodded Hinata out the door, glancing back at Orochimaru with lethal ruby red eyes, the Sharingan glowed with a new sense of hatred.
Orochimaru paled like a man about to jump to his death. This is not good! Fuck not only does she know him, but from his actions he's acting like some sort of bodyguard. I have to find a way to get rid of her without involving Sasuke.

Lunch time had arrived quickly and Hinata's stomach growled and whimpered for food. She followed Naruto and Sasuke, well mostly Naruto since so many girls gathered around Sasuke and gave her dirty looks if she tried talking to him.
"Man I'm so hungry, I hope the food is good today" complained Naruto, caressing his stomach.
Hinata walked happily behind him looking at the other student's as they walked blankly through the hallways, there were a lot of girls but none of them had tried to do anything to her. Relief swept over her like a cool ocean, she felt at great peace being near Sasuke, and although she did miss Gaara's companionship terribly he simply didn't have any classes with her, which did bring her sadness, but she was still happy all the same, Kiba would often talk to her in class he was a kind boy, when he spoke to her he looked straight into her eyes and every other minute he'd crack a wolfish grin and scratch his tattooed cheeks.
"Hey Hinata did you know that there's a new transfer student who's eyes look exactly like yours, I thought that he was you but when I called out your name he turned around and looked at me all surprised, I felt to embarrassed so I just turned around and ran, hahahahaha, kinda silly" grinned Kiba, he flushed in embarrassment at the incident.
But Hinata looked at him with a gaping mouth What did he say, that's impossible, no, could it be that my family has found me? "Kiba do you know his name by any chance?" she grabbed his thick jacket into her small hands and gave him pleading eyes.
"Sorry I didn't get his name, I just ran off when I realized he wasn't you." Blushed Kiba.
As they arrived into the cafeteria they met up with Ten Ten, Sakura, and Ino. They all greeted Hinata with cheery smiles.
"Hi Hinata, how has the day been so far? I hope nobody has been bothering you" popped in Ten Ten draping a sisterly arm around Hinata's small shoulders. Hinata shuttered a bit at the contact but settled down, slowly getting used to the affection and care that Ten Ten was expressing.
"It's been really good." Hinata tried terribly not to flinch at Sakura's eyes, the emerald sphere's glistened with a aura of jealousy.
"Have you girl's seen that new transfer student, they say he's a foreign model with the most gorgeous eyes and the hottest body" interrupted Ino, practically drooling at the mere image of him.
"Oh look! There he is, wow look at him, his hair is so beautiful, do you think that he has a girlfriend?" Ino squealed as the very man came in the lunch room, holding a rather poor excuse for a lunch, half a sandwich and an apple. He looked around the cafeteria as if he were looking for something, his eyes swept across the room looking at each person's face, his frown growing more and more apparent when he obviously didn't find the thing he was looking for, that is of course until he looked at Hinata. His lovely framed jaw dropped when their eyes met.
That's him! Hinata gasped loudly, and Sasuke turned to face her surprised at her reaction.
It's her! Finally after looking for her all morning I found her
What would he be doing here? Did my father come as well, I don't have my plan thought out yet, I can't look at my father yet until my vengeance is complete. But why is my cousin here? How does he even know about me?
Neji gallantly strode to Hinata, his stoic face lighting up. Hinata could only stare, what would he do? Finally he came up to her and wrapped his smooth arms around her.
"Hinata Hyuuga, I've come to take you back to Kumo, you won't be hurt ever, little cousin, Uncle has wronged you in the worst way a parent could to his child. But if you never want to see him I can make it happen, Kumo is so large that you'll never have to see that man ever. I've come to save you from this place, rest easy Hinata"
Who is this guy, he looks very similar to Hinata but she has no records of having relatives, I doubt her family would come now of all times, after they deserted her! But their eyes, it has to be a relative. There's no way I'm letting this guy take her.
The next thing she knew he was being ripped from her body, Sasuke grew murderous with hatred throwing Neji on the floor and kicking his rippled stomach.
"Who the fuck do you think you are, you abandon her and then come back to take her away from me!"
Neji having recovered lunged at Sasuke, knocking the air from his lungs with the strength of a powerful G-Force.
"The question here is who do you think you are! This miserable city has done nothing to help her; I'm not leaving her here to die!"
Who is this guy, he expects me to back down after I just found out about her, never!
"Get off him you'll hurt him" cried Hinata. She felt a fierce grip grab her; she turned around to find Gaara livid behind her, his eyes glinted with insanity.
"He's dead" he snarled, his eyes locked on Sasuke like a mad wolverine. He pushed her roughly to the side and hurled his mad body at Sasuke, who was already tussling with Neji in a vicious fist fight. Both getting injured and bruised. Gaara knocked down Sasuke with a brute force and thrust his elbow into his sternum causing Sasuke to double over in pain cringing as he gasped for breath.
"Gaara what the hell are you doing!?" yelled Naruto, shock and surprise plastered over his face he then threw himself at Gaara knocking him off Sasuke, once Sasuke had gotten up however he continued to pound Neji. Neji dodged his first couple of punches, but got a terrible fist to his cheek. Naruto desperately tried holding off Gaara, purposely tangling his limbs with Gaara so that it was impossible for him to get up.
"Gaara what's wrong with you stop!"
"Naruto let go of me or I'll kill you too"
Gaara reached out and grabbed Neji's foot, which happened to be the closest thing to grab, and thrust him down on the floor. Neji stumbled and fell with a groan, he kicked Gaara in the head for making him fall but received a more ferocious kick from Sasuke who by then grabbed a nearby tray and hurled it at Gaara, making Gaara howl in pain and thrust his knee into Naruto who let go of him and rolled clenching his stomach in pain.
All four men were tangled in a locked battle of power and hatred. The student's took fearful steps back as they witnessed some blood- whose owner was unknown from the malicious mass of men- smeared on the floor.
"Somebody get a teacher" cried Ten Ten. Ino and Sakura looked at each other, adrenaline rushing through their veins like an explosive, and took of sprinting to a nearby classroom. Not soon after they had left three teachers came racing in, Kurenai the girls Dorm Mother, Mr. Miato the P.E. instructor, and Mr. Hatake the Math teacher.
"Gai get Shubaku and Uzumaki! I'll hold down Uchiha and Hyuuga!"
"Got it Kakashi, Kurenai keep the other student's away from them!"
Gai lunged in and ripped Gaara off Sasuke with one hand, and with his other hand he tore Naruto from Gaara.
"It's better to get you to away from here and cool off" he hissed as Gaara plunged his fist into Gai's side, in a frail attempt to get loose and finish off Sasuke. But Gai threw both teens over his shoulder and ran out of the cafeteria into the hallway.
Kakashi was forced to step on Neji so that he could remove Sasuke off his bloody body, Sasuke and Neji were pounding each other with murderous punches and he knew that if he had intervened just moments later both teens would be in the hospital.
"Both of you stop it!" he flung Sasuke across the cafeteria where he fell back on several tables, he stumbled a few steps dazed at the brute force, and then Kakashi hurled Neji to the opposite side, where he slipped and tumbled back crashing into chairs. Once Sasuke and Neji recovered they fell back panting, wiping blood from their faces, Sasuke suffered a swollen cheek and several cuts on his lips, his winced as he lifted his shirt to find sickly bruises all over his chest, one particular nasty one right on his sternum. Neji surprisingly had few to almost no damages to his face, but his body doubled over in pain, he was almost positive he had strained something.
"What's wrong with you!" shouted Kurenai. Both men stayed quiet, either to keep the fact that they were fighting over Hinata or perhaps just recovering from shock.
Hinata during the whole fight had hunched over in a slight fetal position crying her helpless eyes out. Hearing the sound of a fist hitting flesh brought horrible memories and she completely shut down, her mind had zoned out and she pretended she was back in the beaten old couch holding a pleasant conversation with Gaara, talking about a book she read, or maybe a new math problem she had finally figured out. Anything was better than this homicidal scene in front of her.
"Hinata are you alright? Did you accidentally get hurt?" Ten Ten reached down and touched Hinata's shoulder when she didn't get a response. But Hinata flinched and shook, she looked up at Ten Ten with eyes full of horror.
"Don't hurt me, I'm sorry!" Hinata shielded her face and took off sprinting where ever her petrified feet took her. Sasuke yelled at her to call her back but Kakashi forcibly held him down, which didn't take much effort since Sasuke's body was already so battered.

Deidara, Kisame, and Sasori were quietly sitting outside a small Café shop about a block away from Konoha High, taking a well deserved lunch break. Kisame was shamelessly wooing cat calls to women walking by.
"Hey there" he smirked making suggestive glance at the waitress taking their orders.
"Do I know you?" she asked, clearly not impressed with his jeering.
"I'm the guy you see every night in your dreams" cooed Kisame, who had obviously had a little alcohol sneaked into his drink by a mischievous Deidara who just happened to know that Kisame couldn't hold his liquor.
"Actually now that you mention it I do have nightmares time to time" she mocked and returned inside to ask another waitress to get their orders.
"BAHAhahahahahaha, Kisame you're such a stupid loser" busted out Deidara gripping his aching sides from the persistent laughing. Sasori couldn't help but chuckle at the entire scene.
"Deidara did you get the file?" asked Sasori, returning to his usual state of stoic-ness.
"Yea Itachi sent it to me as not that long ago, hmm"chirped Deidara.
"Well let me see it, this is a big step for us in ANBU we finally have a specific description of the guy" spoke Sasori, interest hinted in his deep voice.
"It says here that he's a white male, lengthy black hair past his shoulders. Amber eyes. About ()172 cm. No facial hair. ()52.3 kg…. hey guy's doesn't this description sound like someone we know?" questioned Deidara, raising a blond brow.

Itachi was on edge lately, the information Hinata had given him was really specific, so why was it taking him so long to identify the killer? For several countless hours he rummaged through Konoha's top wanted men. None of them matched the description. His bloodshot eyes had the symptoms of insomnia, small hued rings were appearing. His squad was almost frightened to even go near him for fear that he'd lash out at them, one man had already been sent to the ER for slacking off while he was supposed to look at background information for several suspects. 'Till this day no one knows if he'll ever be able to use his right hand.
"Genma! Get me the records of all men ages 40 – 60 with criminal backgrounds." snarled Itachi.
"Yes captain" Genma set off hastily to get the files, as soon as he left Izumi came in looking flustered.
"Sir I just got word from agents Deidara, Sasori, and Kisame, they say they might have a lead on our guy"
Itachi ran his shaking fingers through his hair and let out a well deserved sigh. "Send word to them… Tell them I'm on my way"
