Chapter 7
The mission
"Are you okay Naruto," Hinata asked from behind him. Naruto turns to his wife. "I'm fine. Just a little tired is all," he said as he walks to her. They were in their house. He cups her face in his hands and kiss her softly on the lips. She kisses him back. Then he leans back and walks over to the crib where his son, Minato is. Hinata walks over there too. "He's going to be strong just like his father," she said looking at her baby. Naruto smirks. "Yeah, but he's going to look like his mother," he said as he grabbed her hand. She smiles.
"I wish Sakura could see him. Saki would've loved him." Naruto's eyes got sad. Hinata leans on him. "you miss her don't you?" He nodded. "She's my best friend." Her pale eyes show understanding as she looks into his ocean blue eyes. Just then ANBU appears in the room. "Naruto Uzumaki. Lady Hokage wants to see you. ASAP." Naruto nodded squeeze Hinata's hand before leaving with them. Few minutes later they were in the Tsunade's office.
Sasuke was also there. "What's going on grandma," he asked, when he saw how she was looking. She signed. "I have receive a report from one my messagers in Stone village. It says that Sakura Haruno is with Itachi Uchiha." Naruto widen his eyes as Sasuke froze. "Wha…t. That can't be possible. Sakura would never-" Tsunade shows pictures of Sakura, Itachi together kissing. Another one of Saki and Itachi with Sakura in the background.
Naruto put a hand to his head. "No… that can't be. Why? Why would she do that," he asked pain in his blue eyes. Tsunade gave him a look that said "You know why". Sasuke wasn't paying attention. He was looking at the pictures. Mainly the one with Saki. "Naruto and Sasuke. I need you to round up rookie 9. We are going to bring back Sakura with or without force," she said as she stacks the pictures back in the folder.
"Right," Naruto said ready to take off at any minute. Sasuke wasn't paying attention. Naruto ran to the door opens it and ran through shouting "Hurry teme!" "is something wrong Sasuke," she asked when he didn't leave. He got right to the point. "Is that my child in that picture?" 'Damn so he did notice,' she thought. He was staring into her eyes for any sign when she didn't answer. He closes his eyes. "So it is huh. Why didn't she tell me?"
Tsunade glared at him. "Because she didn't want to trouble you. Thinking that you'll come home early without completing your goal." He bawled up his fist as guilt tore at him. He left without another word.
"Where are you going Sasuke," a very pregnant Karin asked putting down her book that she was reading. "To kill Itachi. I don't know when I'll be back," he answered as he put on battle gear. They were in the Uchiha compound. "Be careful," she said. He looks at her before walking towards the door. The look he gave her was pure coldness. Before she could stop herself she yelled, "I love you!" He didn't answer back already gone.
Of course she knew he wouldn't answer. He ran to the gates of Konoha and out before the others. 'Sakura you got a lot of explaining to do when I get my hands on you,' he thought angrily. 'Itachi your days are numbered.'
