CHAPTER 3
Sasuke was furious.Not annoyed, not angry, not pissed. Furious. "What interest does my brother have with Sakura?" Sasuke hissed in his mind as he flung more kunai at the unfortunate training post. Flipping back Sasuke quickly executed a medium sized fireball and of course it torched the wooden training stump. Anger and sweat poured off of him in waves. It had been like this since Itachi had gone to bed. Sasuke mulling over all the possible reasons why Itachi suddenly had taken interest in his pink haired and -useless- he growled, teammate. Scowling, Sasuke quickly sprang into a rigorous taijutsu combo. Crouching down Sasuke promptly attached exploding tags to a few kunai before sending them to the clone he created. Already expecting his clone to dodge to the left, he immediately sent another fireball. As the clone dodged, Sakura's face on the mission where he fought Haku and thought he was dead came to the for front of his mind. His temper flared as he pictured that it was his brother she was crying over instead of him and he accidentally flared his chakra too much making him off balanced. His clone then took the opportunity to be on the offensive for the first time since dawn. Unable to dodge, Sasuke attempted to block but he was too tired and the clone was not. Sasuke was thrown back into a tree. With exhaustion finally taken its toll on him, he dispelled the clone and decided to rest where he crashed for awhile when suddenly Itachi appeared. Too tired to stand, Sasuke settled on (death) glaring up at his brother's shadow. "Hn" Itachi said before he lifted Sasuke on his shoulder and headed towards the Uchiha main house. "Foolish brother." was the last thing Sasuke heard before he passed out from chakra exhaustion.
When Itachi neared the main household, Shisui flickered in front of him, "So I heard about your recent focus" Shisui said as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. Itachi would of scoff if he wasn't Anbu Captain, but he was and Itachi doesn't waste his mind on "Ifs."
"Hn." Itachi grunted
"Sasuke-chan is pretty worked up about you being interested in his teammate" Shisui laughed.
"I'm merely curious of the pink haired ninja that all the Uchiha seem to be smitten with." Itachi said evenly. Itachi didn't know why he didn't mention that he was doing it only as a favor to his mother. "Well don't hurt her Itachi, Sakura-chan is the best thing Uchiha has seen since your mother." Shisui stated seriously.
"Hn." Itachi replied. "I have never seen Shisui serious outside of battle, this kuniochi really is something." He thought. " Maybe I will go see her magic myself." Itachi continued. "Take Sasuke home Shisui I have someone to see." Itachi said aloud. "Sure Itachi I'll take baby cousin home." Shisui winked, already knowing where Itachi was going. "Tell the blossom I said hi!" And after another wink, Shisui flickered away with Sasuke in tow.
Itachi was heading towards the town center when Naruto's voice popped into his head. "Sakura-chan has perfect chakra control and works at the hospital." Naruto said proudly." Spinning on his heel, he strolled passed the Hokage Tower intending on heading North to the hospital. Suddenly a pink blur raced by him and towards the training ground Seven. Remembering that Sakura was the only person in Konoha who has pink hair, Itachi once again turned on his heel, and headed East: destination: training ground Seven.
