The wind tousled the boys blonde hair as he stood peaceful across the way from Itachi Uchiha. It was ironic how a smile graced his lips and clashed with the criminals mournful eyes, ironic that he was the one that found the man that had been searching for him, ironic that his worst enemy was the only way to help his best friend. Ironic.
Itachi sat down on the damp green grass, his hands in his lap and draped across his bent and folding legs. "It all started when I met her, three days from the village gates at a normal pace.
"I was coming to capture you again but I saw a girl with pink hair running faster than any usual genin. Faster than any jounin to be frank." He stopped, his throat clenching as he remembered her, the swollen eyes inflated by tears and her red cheeks, wind burned. How the sweat crowed her brilliant pink hairline, and how her body moved. He snapped his eyes back into the presence.
"I saw potential in her and approached her. She told me about her weakness and I told her of her talent. She injured me and I offered leadership, a trainer. She accepted and I trained her.
"I set her up with missions and challenges and she improved rapidly. She reminded me of a old lady I knew when I was young, a woman with a formidable bloodline, so much that in one of her challenges I tested to see if there was any possibility and it turned out she was her relative. I brought her to the woman and she trained her. Along the coarse we fell in love and came here so no harm would happen to her, I proposed she accepted."
Itachi's serene face turned into an uncharacteristic scowl, "And then my foolish brother got involved. And she protected me, and I made my escape. Now I'm waiting for hers."
He finished, mulling over his worries for the young pink haired kunoichi.
Naruto furrowed his brow in confusion. "What was the bloodline?"
The man looked up at the Kyuubi container… now would be the perfect time to capture him, but he knew he wouldn't. Now was not the time.
"That you would have to ask her, I'm in no position to reveal her secrets." The Uchiha stood up from his seat and shifted his weight to his left foot.
Fiery, the blonde looked at the man straight in his eye, daringly he growled as he looked away. "You tricked me. She tricked to me." He sighed as he reopened his eyes and clenched his fist, "Do you love her?"
"Yes."
"I don't mean love her… do you really really LOVE her?"
A silence settled over the two as Itachi took a step forward, his face an inch from Naruto's. He took his onyx eyes and stared down at the boys cerulean blue eyes, letting his brow crinkle in concentration and sincerity.
"Yes."
…
Naruto stepped back, breaking the eye contact, "That's all I needed to know." With that the boy disappeared in a cloud of smoke, leaving the black haired man to himself, in the breeze of a deep forests chill.

The moisture in the air gathered over the stones, pooling in there crevices and slowly overflowed, letting the crystal water fall down to the floor with one clank after another. Drip drop, each small splash Sakura counted, keeping her sanity as counting the seconds in each day. Once again her thoughts were stirred by the sound of footsteps, yet these were heavier, and quicker, some steps wit ha slight hesitation as she heard the intruders heartbeat quiver outside of her particular cement door.
The sound of metal unlocking and the smell and taste of chakra hit her full force as she tensed in her lotus position, legs crossed applesauce, hands rested on her knees, posture upright and stiff, yet relaxed.
"S-Sakura?" One eye opened and looked at the boy before her. Visibly relaxing, Sakura leaned backwards and gathered her legs to her chest, wrapping her arms around herself as she huddled back, a soft smile gathered at her lips as she looked up at her friend.
"Yes Naruto."
The blonde sighed as he walked closer to the prisoner and sat in front of her, his own legs bent sturdily and his arms laid lazily across them, making a surface for him to rest his chin
"I came for answers, Sakura-chan." His voice dropped to a whisper, his left hand half-way cupped his mouth, "Itachi-san wouldn't tell me your secrets… he also sais he loves you." Naruto smiled as he saw how much more relaxed and softer Sakura looked after he said this.
Hesitantly looking around the cell she lowered her own voice. "What do you want to know."
Naruto relayed what Itachi told him, hoping she would fill in the blanks. Sakura tensed and relaxed during his story, knowing no lies passed his playful and smiling lips.
"Alright. He pretty much told you everything… except about my bloodline. Naruto, if I tell you this you must swear to secrecy. Promise me that much."
Naruto smiled seriously as he held his fist out and chuckled to himself about the irony, he settled his chuckles and took on a serious note.
"I swear."
"Alright. My bloodline. Syarongan. Like the Sharingan its, for the most part and eye technique… and like the Uchiha's there are only two remaining holders of my bloodline. Myself and Kana, my great great great grandmother."
Naruto scratched his head, "Wouldn't she be dead?"
"Baka." Sakura glared, "I'm getting to it." She paused, "Syarongan consists of at least three stages. Three because know one has gotten past the third. The first allows you to read your opponents thought, also in the Syarongan form, your hair grows longer and your eyes fade out. The second faze allows you to read your opponents past present and future thoughts, adding a diamond to you forehead… and the third allows…allows you to see the future. Know everything, and gives you the reflexes to prevent it. But there are two extra factors, the sacrifice and the form which I have yet to get to.
"As you should know you have to sacrifice to gain power, like how Itachi killed his best friend to obtain the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan I too had a sacrifice. The sacrifice of seeing people who died, the sacrifice of dying, those who go into the third phase are immortal, being forced to live through the rest of eternity. Being forced to outlive all that you love and watch as they die. Living in loneliness for something as trivial as forced power."
Tears stinging at the back of her eyes caused her to catch her breath. Sighing she continued.
"You see once you activate the first stage of the Syarongan for the first time the power picks you, if you don't excel in the bloodline the suppressing of power will kill you like a disease, eating up your chakra and killing you from the inside out… its how my mother died."
Shaking the thought from her head she breathed deeply, letting the oxygen flow through her and give her energy to continue, "The form of the third phase is basically a complete remodel of your physical being and you don't go back to yourself when your done. Your bloodline is always activated. Thus you are always in your form, which would be long hair, paler then before. Your skin glows, unblemished and flawless. Yore eyes glow and are pupiless, resembling Hyuuga eyes and there's a permanent diamond in the center of your forehead. You stop aging and the body will never change."
Naruto looked her up and down as she quivered.
"But."
"yes."
"So.."
"yes."
"That means…"
"Hai. I'm in the third phase. I'm stuck in the body of a flawless teenager forever. And probably stuck in this prison for the rest of eternity if I wasn't so focused on getting out. Though the longer I stay in this prison the longer I know Itachi is safe."
Naruto scrutinized the girl, this girl he knew as a happy girl in love immaturely with A bastard. Now her shining smile was now a solemn frown and though the sparkle in her eye was still there, somehow it dulled.
"Naruto… you don't understand what its like. Knowing everyone will die." She looked up at him, "Knowing your going to watch all of your loved ones die before you and not be able to see the one you love most for as long as they may live." Another set of shivers racked her body, "especially with Sasuke coming in everyday to torture and play with me. I cant even fight back without giving away my secret."
Naruto lifted her chin, staring into her eyes, "Ill help."

The man shook with excitement, "My clan will be strong…" Laughing he turned off the hearing devices and hidden speakers, "Soon my Sakura, soon you will be mine, you will carry my children whether you like it or not, and soon I will take you."
The man smirked to himself, "And thank you Naruto, for helping me find out the secret of her strength. "Arigato big brother, you helped make my cherry blossom strong so that I might restore my clan. Too bad you wont see your nephews… you'll die soon."
The black haired boy chuckled to himself as he walked out from the building, breathing in the air of the night. "Soon."
