"YOU DID WHAT?!" the Hokage's voice boomed throughout her office.
"I WAS TRYING TO SAVE HER! SHIKIMARU AND NEJI WERE GETTING THEIR BUTTS KICKED BACK THERE!" Naruto yelled back at her.
"You….lost….Sakura….to the Akatskui….." her voice quivered with anger.
Kakashi stood between Naruto and the Hokage's desk prepared to break up a fight.
"We got ambushed by hundreds of shadow clones and then the group was separated, by the time we got—"
"You rushed in like a fool without thinking about the consequences. Of all the missions to act recklessly and foolish you pick one dealing with the Akatskui's top Ninja. I thought you were smarter than this in battle, you proved that when you saved the village from Pein. However, maybe I was wrong. If you wouldn't have let your emotions get the best of you and rushed in blindly Sakura would still be here."
For once in his life Naruto was speechless.
"Naruto…" Kakashi warned, visibly seeing the buildup of the explosion inside of Naruto that was about to happen.
Naruto instead looked the Hokage right in her eyes saying "You're one to talk about acting recklessly Granny. You are the one who sent Jiriyah Sensai to his death after all."
His words cut like a knife.
It took Naruto a few moments to realize what the hell had happened and why his cheek was throbbing ferociously. He picked himself up from the sprawled position he was in on the floor and yelped as he stared at a red faced Hokage through a hole in the wall…three rooms away!
She had hit him with a chakra infused punch so hard it sent him flying through the walls of three different rooms. Naruto was certain his cheek was broken. Recalling what he said before she punched him, he instantly felt bad for what he had said to her.
"I went too far…that was a low blow" he thought to himself.
Once again Naruto had let his emotions control him causing him to act recklessly.
"Naruto, go check yourself into the hospital and get that cheek tended to. I'll check on you later." Kakashi said.
"Hai, sensai" he said holding his swollen cheek and he made his way through the debris.
Suddenly, a group of ANBU silently swooped down into the Hokage's office ready for a fight.
"Lady Hokeage what is going—"the ANBU wearing the fox mask cut himself off as he caught a glance of the Hokage's face. She was red as a tomato with her fist still balled up staring viciously at a hole in the wall. Kakashi Hatake was standing with his hands in his pockets with his head slumped down, and at the other end of the hole in the wall was Naruto Uzamaki holding a swollen cheek. It was clear what had happened here.
"Go get someone to fix my wall" she ordered.
"Hai, Lady Hokage" the fox mask ANBU nodded as he and the rest of the group disappeared as quickly as they came.
Kakashi let out a long sigh "Tsunade, you know this wasn't all his fault. We were in over our heads the second Itachi showed up unexpectedly."
"I know, I will apologize to him later. That was childish of me." She said as she slumped down into her desk chair.
"Tsunade….there is something that I noticed on this mission. I may understand why Sakura was kidnapped." Kakashi started. "I understand that the focus of this mission was to eliminate threat to Naruto, however Itachi showed interest only in Sakura.
"What are you getting at Kakashi?" Tsunade asked.
"Sakura is your student, you and I both know that she is on the rise as the Kohona's top medical ninja. If it weren't for you still being alive she would be Kohona's top medical ninja. Now, if the Akatskui plan on abducting Naruto and extracting the Nine Tails from him they will need their most powerful shinobi to do so. Now that Pein is gone, Itachi is the Akatskui's strongest shinobi.
"What does any of that have to do with Sakura, Kakashi?" Tsunade wasn't sure if Kakashi actually had a point to all of this.
"The Uchiha clan are the only one's known to be able to control the tailed beasts with their eyes using the mangekyo sharigan. No doubt Itachi has been training to do exactly that, so that if they accomplish summoning the Ten tails, Itachi will be the one able to control it. However, using the mangekyo sharigan comes with a price; blindness. They more you use it the more it causes permanent damage to the wielders eyes, eventually resulting in total blindness. Now, the Itachi I know would have killed Shikimaru and Neji without hesitation. He did no such thing, which leads me to believe Itachi had no intention of kidnapping Naruto, nor fighting to kill. Itachi came to obtain something and leave, and if he had no interest in taking Naruto that only means one thing, he was not in the condition to fight Naruto." Kakashi waited for Tsunade to process everything he just said.
Tsunade's eyes widened in realization.
"Kakashi….if Itachi Uchiah has been overusing this mangekyo sharigan like you say and it is damaging his eyes then he wouldn't be able to fight to the best of his ability. Which means he wouldn't waste his time on Naruto if he knew he wasn't in the condition to succeed at abducting him and extracting the Nine Tails. The only reason he would show interest in Sakura is for him to—"she stopped mid-sentence when she finally realized what Kakashi was getting at.
"Itachi Uchiha is going blind." Kakashi finished for her.
I awoke to no headache, much to my delight. I felt a bit stronger too, I could tell I had regained a significant amount of chakra. However my injuries still remained the same. I flinched at the memory of my ribs breaking as Kisame threw me against the stone wall. Remembering the extent of my injuries, I decided to try and heal my broken ribs first so that I could sit myself up without a significant amount of pain and discomfort.
i summoned the familiar green glow to my fingertips and sent her chakra flowing throughout my chest. The cooling sensation of my chakra somewhat soothed the pain as I felt my broken bones fuse themselves back together.
About thirty minutes passed before I had fully healed my ribcage. It exhausted me completely. Determined to tend to my shattered leg next I summoned the green glow once again. This was even more painful than my ribcage injury! I sent my chakra flowing carefully and precisely, tending to torn ligaments, and fractures bones. A grueling two hours passed before my leg was completely healed. I slumped back onto the headboard panting.
"There….that should do it for now." I said aloud to myself.
"I'll just rest my eyes for a little bit and then I'll heal my shoulder" I thought.
Closing her eyes, Sakura drifted off into an accidental slumber.
I jolted awake at the sensation of falling into a hot pool of water.
I scrambled to position myself upwards and clung to the side of the bathtub, dazed and confused.
"You've been here for five days and all you have done is sleep. Bathe yourself and report back to your room in thirty minutes. I've left clean clothes on the sink." He said calmly.
Fixing my eyes on him I spoke without thinking.
"Are you crazy!? You could have woken me up instead of throwing me unconscious into a hot bath!" I shouted.
Once again, did I have a death wish speaking to him like that?
"You do not tell me what I can and cannot do, Kunoichi." He responded.
Infuriated, I balled my fist up ready to jump out the bath and punch him in his face, and then I realized….I was naked! I yelped and immediately used my hands to cover myself. How dare he undress me! I didn't care who he was my temper was flaring as usual and I was ready to knock his head right off his shoulders.
"You undressed me!? You pervert! How dare you?! Don't you ever touch me again!" I screamed.
In the blink of an eye his hand was around my throat forcing my head underwater.
My arms and legs flailed around as I tried to fight to come up for air but his grip was too strong. A few long moments passed before he let up on his grip and pulled me above the surface.
I choked as I spit up water and gasped for air.
With his hand still around my throat he forced me to look him in his crimson eyes.
"I said, you do not tell me what I can and cannot do, Kunoichi. I hate repeating myself. I won't say it a third time."
Letting go my neck he looked my naked body up and down in its entirety before saying "You've now wasted five minutes of your time screaming about something I've seen many times in my life before. You have 25 minutes, do not be late." He said as he turned to walk out of the bathroom.
Stunned, I sat for another five minutes trying to wrap my head around the situation I was in. Snapping myself back into reality I decided to savor the hot bath and how it felt against my sore battered body. I grabbed the bottle of shampoo conveniently sitting at the edge of the tub and worked out the caked in knots of blood and dirt out of my long pink strands. I was really regretting the decision to grow my hair back out right now.
After successfully washing my hair, I stepped out of the bath and walked over to the clothes Itachi has left for me. I put on the pair of black slacks that were obviously Itachi's because they were way to long in the legs, and a mesh shirt that was Itachi's as well, seeing how it was about two sizes too big on my small petite frame.
I exited the bathroom with my long pink locks still dripping wet down my back and headed to my room as ordered.
I walked in to see Itachi sitting in the chair next to my bed with his arms crossed and his legs extended, crossed at the ankles.
"Thank you for the clothes" Is how I greeted him.
"You will heal my eyes, starting now." He responded.
I sighed "I told you, I cannot do that."
"What makes you think I am giving you a choice?" he asked calmly.
"Everyone has a choice, I am willing to deal with the consequences."
I was really playing a bad round of Russian roulette with this man.
"Kunochi you will heal my eyes." He responded.
"We can sit here all day and night, I will never heal the eyes of someone who only wants to hurt my friends and my village. I am not your slave to boss around and you cannot make me heal your eyes."
That evoked some emotion in him, and for the first time since I had been here Itachi Uchiha was displaying an actual emotion rather than his usual cool, calm, and collected demeanor.
I was sent crashing onto the bedroom floor. As I picked myself up off of the ground I grabbed the side of my face and flinched at the throbbing red hot pain. Looking up at Itachi I realized he had backhanded me!
He stood there with a dangerous fire in his eyes. Something I said had clearly pushed him to his breaking point.
"What….did I tell you….in the bathroom" he hissed.
I knew I had messed up bad, and for a moment I regretted my boldness because despite my temper I knew I was no match for Itachi, especially not a royally pissed off Itachi.
"You said I cannot tell you what you can and cannot do." I responded fearfully.
"What else did I tell you?" he asked.
"That you hate repeating yourself"
"And?" he growled.
"….that you wouldn't say it a third time…" I dropped my eyes from his fiery stare to the floor.
"I have clearly given you the wrong impression Kunoichi. You have mistaken my actions as being kind. Your defiance is not to be tolerated, you belong to me and you will do as I say without question."
Although I was afraid, hearing him speak to me as if I was his slave still sparked anger in me. I refused to let him break me and use me as leverage to betray my friends and village. I knew what I was about to do was suicide but his arrogance was pissing me off!
"No, you have not given me the wrong impression" I started. "You seem to have the wrong impression, you kidnapped me, harmed my friends, tried to drown me and you expect me to bend and break at your will? I'd rather die than heal your eyes, and you can go straight to hell, that is if you can find your way down there seeing as how you're practically blind and all."
That hit a nerve.
I found myself pinned against the wall nose to nose with Itachi staring into his deadly crimson gaze, regretting the words the moment I said them.
"You will submit to me." He told me.
I channeled chakra into my neck and sent my head flying forward delivering a chakra infused head-butt. Itachi didn't even flinch at the pain, instead for a slight moment I thought I seen a look of utter shock and surprise flash across his face before he narrowed his eyes in anger as a trail of blood dripped from his forehead down the side of his face.
"You will regret that, Kunoichi" he said before sending me flying across the room into the bed frame.
I recovered quickly jumping to my feet and sending my fist straight for his face. He side stepped my punch easily grabbing my wrists and pinning them to my sides as he forced his weight onto me, causing us to crash onto the bed.
I tried to push him off of me and free my wrists but he was too strong. His lean physique does not match how heavy he actually is.
Itachi forced my arms above my head and held them down at the wrists while forcing my legs open with his.
Panic overcame me.
"What are you doing?!" I panted from exhaustion.
"I told you that you will submit to me" he growled.
I didn't even realize I had started to cry until I felt the hot tears stream down my face.
"Please, Itachi don't !" I begged.
I knew what he was about to do wasn't for his own pleasure, it was to humiliate me. He was trying to force me into submission by humiliation and fear.
His mouth came crashing down hard on mine as he forced his tongue inside.
I paniced even more when it sunk in that this was actually going to happen and that I couldn't fight him off. I was a virgin and the thought of losing it this way, to this man, made the tears stream down my face faster.
"Get off of me you monster!" I shouted.
Itachi let out a terrifying laugh "Interesting….just a second ago you were so defiant and brave."
He ripped off my pants easily, and was already out of his. Without hesitation he thrust himself into me.
I cried out in pain as I felt him rip into me. His thrusts were fast and hard and I felt the blood drip from his face onto mine.
I was helpless, I could do nothing other than lay there and cry.
After what seemed like hours had passed Itachi gave one final thrust as I felt him release his warmth into me.
After a few moment he removed himself and hovered over me; his long black strands of hair sticking to the sides of his face.
He stared at me long and hard observing the devastation in my eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that he had just deliberately raped me I would have sworn I seen a hint of remorse in his eyes. That's impossible I reassured myself, he just violated me in the worst way possible, of course he feels no remorse.
"Clean yourself up. You will heal my eyes when I return. If you try to flee I will know, and I will find you before you can step foot outside of this building."
And with that he dressed himself and left me to cry.
