Chapter 12
Disclaimer: I don't own naruto, but if I did, Karin wouldn't exist.
(with naruto)
To get to the Uchiha compound from Naruto's house you have to either go through the market or over it on the roof tops. Usually Naruto would take the roof tops, however he spotted a white eyed, blue haired heiress holding a bouquet of yellow daffodils while trying to weave around the hustle and bustle of Konoha without damaging the flowers.
Forgetting all about his teammates and the compound, Naruto advanced toward the distressed woman.
"HINATA-CHAN!" bellowed the blonde ninja.
Naruto must have startled her cause when Hinata Hyuuga turned around she dropped her precious flowers.
Instantly Naruto felt guilty for ruining her flowers so he decided to make conversation before she could hit him like Sakura-chan would.
"Oh Hinata-chan sorry about your flowers!" chirped Naruto.
"Stupid!" thought Naruto.
"Flowers, what flowers?" Hinata questioned dreamily.
Hinata glanced down at the now trampled flowers and the color drained from her face.
"Those were for Sakura-chan.." she trailed off.
"For Sakura-chan?" Naruto questioned, confused.
"You don't know?" Hinata asked, eyes wide.

Itachi and Shisui found Sasuke in the kitchen of their family home eating lunch and drinking tea with Mikoto.
Noticing the men were back, Mikoto promptly spoke.
"Back so soon? How is Sakura?" Mikoto asked.
Sasuke froze hearing his mother. "What about Sakura-chan?"
Itachi and Shisui both bristled at the affectionate ending Sasuke gave her.
Shisui glanced at Itachi and read his body language, he assessed that Itachi was still not fully in check, his mask was still not on.
Shisui decided to take Itachi out of the situation.
Within seconds, Shisui flash-stepped both himself and Itachi outside into a nearby field.
Before Itachi could even speak, Shisui spoke.
"We can't just recklessly jump into battle.." he said.
"You are right cousin.." said Itachi in an eerily calm voice.
Itachi smirked the infamous Uchiha smirk.
"You've got a plan I presume?" replied Shisui along with his own smirk.
