Chapter Three- Weapon Store

Meena

All Itachi could do was look at the old Uchiha 'weapon shop' or as his little sister would call it a 'hide out'. He'd been able to somehow get away from his partner, dropping him off at an 'all you can eat' sushi place in the closet village. He'd already paid for it, so he didn't have to worry about the blue man killing anyone.

"Brother it's been awhile," a voice says and he turns to see a female version of himself. The same lines near their eyes, but she looks more feminine than he does. Both looked like their Mum, while Sasuke took after their Dad. "I've already talked to granny. We thought it might be best if I'm not seen in my henge, but I'll fake my death… soon."

"Mina it's been years since I've seen you," Itachi tells her a smile on his lips. "The last time I saw you, you were still under that henge. Somehow father wasn't able to draw the lines between your names and the day you disappeared."

"You know you would've done the same thing."

"I would've."

"I tried to help him."

"Don't worry, sister, you can show yourself to him after my death."

"I don't think so," a small pink cat said. She was one of Mina's familiars and kept on eye on Sasuke when he was with Orochimaru. "He'll be after you anyway, after all you did kill Danzo."

"Is that the reason you're missing?" Itachi asked looking into her dark grey eyes, while she just looked at his bloody red ones, he never turned off his Sharingan. "Mina what happened?"

"Danzo was planning to kill the fifth and took over the village," Mina told him a small, sad, smile on her face. She hadn't thought about it for a while, but she knew it was going to hunt her for the rest of her life. Like Itachi's did him, but he would die soon. "So I killed him and his 'root' I asked Tsunade not to tell anyone, it's easy to think I went nuts."

"Then you better hide."

"So should you. Sakura might put two and two together soon."

"The pink haired one?"

"Pretty much. After all Sasuke is after you."

"I better get going."

"I'll be there. Just to make sure nothing happens to your body."

Sasuke

"So what are we going to do?" Juugo asked. He still wondered why the Uchiha said he would be his prison, it didn't sound like something the raven would do, but he did.

"From now on, we're team Hebi," Sasuke said looking at them. They weren't far from a town, but he wanted to make sure they knew what they were doing. A team, one where he was the sensei and he wanted to do a better job than Kakashi. "We're going to find Itachi Uchiha and I'm going to ultimate him."

"Anything else?" Suigetsu asked leaning against his sword and taking a drink. Since he was made of water he had to keep a bottle on him, he really hated that snake. "Like a missing girlfriend we have to find?"

"Suigetsu!" Karin said while kicking his head. Soon she was kicking water, since Suigetsu's head turned into the liquid.

"Karin, Suigetsu stop it," Sasuke said looking at the two of them, white snakes wrapping around his body. They were looking for information about Itachi and it has been two weeks getting to this village from Juugo's hide out. "We're here to look for Itachi, also to find information about Mina Uchiha."

"Mina?"

"Doesn't concern you."

Meena

"Itachi are you sure?" Mina asked hiding her blonde hair behind her cape. She had felt Sakura's chakra, this means she can give her brother some time to get to Sasuke, if she needed to, she would use Shisui's eyes. He had given them to her, when he felt that Danzo was going to stop him. Before going to Naka River where he told Itachi and commented suicide.

"I'm sure."

"As your sister, I'm sad to see this."

"I know Mina."

"I will stop those from Konah, good luck." She looked at him a smile on her face. Not Meena's or Minato's, but her mother's. One she wasn't allowed to use since she was three, or around those who knew her true identity.

Sasuke

"Sasuke did you know?" Suigetsu asked once they made it make to the hotel room. Sasuke somehow having enough money for them to stay for a week.

"Know what?" he asked looking at the whtite hair male, before looking at the orange that belonged to Juugo. Meena would've loved him, if she actually liked the colour orange. "Suigetsu what did you find?"

"That teammate of yours? Meena Uzumaki," Suigetsu said and when Sasuke nodded he continued. "Well, you're no longer the only missing nin of Team Seven, it said that she kill more than a thousand ANBU and three of your village's elders."

"She what?!" Karin said looking at him. Over a thousand men? How did no one notice this many people being killed. She had to be in the books, she wondered how much was over the girl's head. No one could do that without Konah's enemy wanting to accept her into their village. Smaller villagers would. "No one can kill that many people."

"Itachi Uchiha did," Suigetsu pointed out ignoring Sasuke's look, before said raven noticed a crow looking at him, he knew this crow. It was one of Itachi's summons, so he was in the area.

Meena

"If it isn't my team mate," Meena said looking at both Sakura and Kakashi, she had to keep up her act. Not that it was hard, after all she acted like an idiot for around sixteen years. "It almost like Team Seven is together again, but we're just missing Sasuke. Is that who you're looking for?"

"Meena," Sakura said looking at the girl who had promised to bring Sasuke back, but instead went missing herself. She regrated putting so much pressure on her friend, but when Tsunade told them what she did, none of them wanted to believe it, it was the word of the ANBU which made them believe it. "Why did you do it?"

"Do what? I've done plenty."

"Why did you kill the ANBU members and the elders?" Kakashi asked. Two of his students had become missing nin. Between Sakura and Meena, he thought there was more a change of Sakura becoming a missing nin then Sakura, like Itachi, something didn't add up.

"Because they were a torn in my side," Meena told him, smiling as everyone else joined, all of them looking at her with shock, before putting a hand on their weapons, they had heard what she had said. She was missing and needed to brought back to the village. If they were willing to give Sasuke a change then they had to give the same one to Meena. "The rest of little puppies are here. What do I owe the pleasure?"

"Do you know where Sasuke is?" Sakura asked.

"Look a missing nin, they must know where another missing nin is," Meena said rolling her eyes. "Let's go ask. Well at least this one we know!"

"Meena stop acting like an idiot."

"I promised something, so goodnight."

Sasuke

"Itachi," Sasuke growled looking at his brother who only looked at him. Itachi was slightly worried for Mina, it was silly, but he was still her older brother. "Who is Mina?"

"She's your older sister. She should show herself to you soon," Itachi said, he had sent a clone to tell Sasuke this, while he went to the meeting place. It was easier, since Mina had most likely knocked out the shinobi from Konah. "She went missing sixteen years ago, but she didn't die. She just wanted to protect everyone. So she hide herself."

"Why did she hide? Dad would've protected her."

"She'll have to tell you. Besides come to the old Uchiha shelter."

Meena

"I'm guessing you told him?" Mina asked her brother as he sat on his 'throne'. Sasuke had stopped to get weapons and clothes for his team. She had knocked out the Leaf team, it was a good thing she hide the fact that she was a master when it came to genjutsu, or else she wouldn't have been able to knock out both the ANBU and her old 'friends'. "How long do you think it'll take him? And are you sure about this?"

"I'm sure. I just hope he doesn't learn the truth."

"He might've been able to help. He'll the truth Itachi, even if you don't want him to," Mina told him before disappearing through butterflies, since she felt her brother coming towards them and she didn't want to be seen… yet.
