Itachi's POV

As team Chibi walked down the market place, Sakura had a serious thinking mask adjourned her face. I couldn't help but chuckle internally as I kept my emotionless façade.

"Ita-kun, the Hokage pays for all of the expenses on a mission right?" I was asked sweetly by Sakura with her head slightly tilted.

"Yes that's correct." I answered in a monotone.

"Can you put me down?" She asked politely . As her feet were set on the ground, she turned to the boys and gave them instructions. "Boys, grab all the sweets you can eat: ice cream, candy, cookies, mochi, and stuff." She then turned to me, "Taichou-sensei you can come with me to get ingredients!"

"ALRIGHT!" Kiba-san shouted as he sprinted down the aisles holding a basket in one hand and shoving cookies into the basket with the other hand as Akamaru chased after him and yipped happily.

"Che, how troublesome. Are we even going to eat everything?" Shikamaru-san inquired as he lazily grabbed a basket and made his way towards the candy aisle.

"Well I was kind of thinking we could give so Naruto-kun. He doesn't seem to get sweets often so I thought it would be a good gesture to show that not everyone dislikes him and that we could be friends" Sakura explained.

The gleam in her eyes that shined even brighter at the thought of blessing someone warmed my heart. It gratifying to know that not everyone was heartless and showed compassion for the Kyuubi holder.

"Well then Sakura-chan, Itachi-sama what flavor ice cream should we get?" Neji-san asked politely.

"Um. How about a pint of each flavor? That way we can try all of them!" Sakura decided after having a moment to think about it.

Neji-san nodded and walked off to the freezer section with a basket in tow.

"Okay off to the produce section Ita-kun!" Sakura exclaimed as she turned towards me.

"Lead the way blossom." I gestured towards the fruits and vegetables with a basket in my other hand.

She happily skipped around looking for the freshest fruits. Her eyes lit up when she found ripe fruit and scowled as she found some that she disliked. She shopped for fruits then milk, cream, flour, sugar, honey, and condensed milk. I couldn't help but wonder what she had planned.

Soon enough the rest of team finished gathering their assigned sweets and we made our way to the cash register.

"Ita-kun the scroll please." Sakura-chan requested so I handed her the scroll.

"Your total is $110.00" the cashier told us.

They boy's jaws dropped, but Sakura was unfazed.

She presented the scroll to the cashier "The expenses will be paid for by the Hokage. This is an official mission ordered by Hokage-sama himself."

The cashier nodded her head and consented.

"Taichou-sensei, do you happen to have an empty storage scroll with you?" Sakura-chan asked.

I nodded and pulled the scroll from my pouch and handed it to her.

"Kiba-kun and Shika-kun can you put the groceries into the scroll?" She asked as she put a package of cookies, candy, and a pint of ice cream into a separate bag.

"Ita-kun, when there are done can you show them to your house and put away groceries? Me and Neji-kun are going to give this to Naruto-kun" She said holding up the bag.

"Hn. Give me your pack" I held out my hand waiting for her to remove the pack off her back. As she set the strap on my hand, the weight of the pack surprised me. It almost weighed as much as she did.

"I'll send Shisui-san to escort you back to the compound then." I told her leaving no room for disagreements.

"Hai Taichou-sensei." She smiled and turned around making her way towards the Kyuubi holder's apartment.

I turned to Kiba-san and Shikamaru-san, "Ready?"

They nodded simultaneously and we setted off for home.
