Chapter 4:
Itachi had just left the Hokage's office and his mind was still reeling with all the information he had just received about that girl, Sakura and who her family really was and then there was the fact that Orochimaru had dared to touch his otouto. It seemed as there was more to the story than what the Hokage was telling him but it didn't matter he would soon know everything he needed to destroy that thing that thought he could get away with laying a hand on something he swore to protect. Thats when he paused in his thoughts as well in his walk when the sudden thought came to the for front of his mind 'hmmm... this might actually be a benafit to me, that girl seemed to really want to protect her team and if that is the case then she just might be an assit . That is if she is able to endure my training and since she has Uchiha blood and Hyuga blood running through her vains than it should be no problem, that way I will not have to worry as much when otouto is out on missions with his team. Hmmm... perfect now to find Asume and then to deal with father.' Once Itachi had his plan he took off to where he knew Asume would be with the other genin sensei's in the pub.
It didn't take Itachi long to arrive at the pub and just like he expected there was Asume and Kakashi as well. Once inside the pub, Itachi noticed that it wasn't as busy as normal and for that he was greatful, he did not like a crowd, when there was a crowd people always tended to stare at him just because he was the hair to the Uchiha clan. It didn't take him long to find the two he was looking for, he knew Jiraiya-san would be off doing what he considered to be "research", which Itachi thought was more along of the lines of being a peeping-tom than anything, to remember to tell Kakashi to be at the Hokage's office in two hours time.
"Ah Itachi-san care to join us?" Kakashi asked as he motioned his hand towards Itachi since he was the first one to noticed the young man.
"Neigh, I am only here to relay a message from the Hokage. Asume-san the Hokage wishes to speak with you at once and Kakashi-san the Hokage also wishes to see you in two hours so I would advise you not to be late since it deals with your team. Now if you will excuse me, Good day." Itachi said as he once again turned and resume his way back to the Uchiha Compound to inform his father of the Hokage's order's.
Once arriving home his mother greated him with that smile of her's that was only for otouto and my self.
"Ah your home early. Will you be able to have dinner with us tonight or are you leaving for another mission?" Mikoto was a loving woman who was nice until you messed with one of her children or someone she see's as one of her children and then she is the kunoichi that she once was and a force to be reckon with.
"No mother I do not have a mission tonight but I will be leaving on a mission in two days time and will be gone for alittle over a month. Is Father home, I have a message to relay to you and him from the Hokage."
"Hai, his in the study I will be the shortly just let me get the tea." All pleasent tone gone from her voice and it had turn to a chilling sharp tone of voice. This was the kunoichi that was to fear.
"Hai" Itachi nodded his head and moved to the study he knew his father was in, it was the one he spent most of his time in now adays. Apon aprouching the door and before he was able to knock, his was interrupted by the deep rumble of his father telling him to come in.
"Father" Itachi did not allow any emotion to enter his voice when speaking to his father like he did to his mother. To Itachi, Fugaku was nothing more than the sperm that helped created him and that was all nothing more nothing less.
"Itachi, sit, what brings you here." It was not a question more of a statement than anything.
"I have a message from the Hokage for you and mother." As soon as Itachi had finished speaking Mikoto walked in carrying a tray with rose tea and snack's to tie them over til dinner was ready. Once the tray and tea passed Mikoto nodded her head to Itachi to go ahead and tell them what the message was.
"I am to inform you that during the tournament in two months that the Police Force is to be on high alert due to the fact that Orochimaru was spotted in the Forest of Death during the exam. Foruntaly no one was killed. But the Hokage is worried and does not want to take a chance that he may try something during the Tournament and he wants the Police Force as well as ANBU to stay on high alert and if something should arise for us to be ready and he also wants the lower ranking ninja to be ready to help lead people to safety. And I also wanted to inform you that in two days time I will be leaving on a mission and wont be back until right before the Tournament."
"Alright if that is all I will inform the Counsel as well as the Force to be on high alert. You may go." Fugaku said standing to go and do just what he said.
"Hai father, mother." Itachi said nodding to both before leaving and heading to his room to get a shower. After all he had just gotten back from a mission that had taken longer than he had excepted it to.
Back in the Hokage's Office
'Now comes the hard part,telling Sakura that she must go train with Itachi and Asume. I'm not to worried about her reaction about Asume but Itachi is another story altogether. And I believe it's time for her to finially know the truth about her mother and for me to give her the scrolls that was left to her by Raven.' thought Sarutobi as he walked over to the couch where Sakura still slept. Just as he was about to approached the couch Asume appeared.
"Father, you wanted... Happened to Sakura, is she alright, whats wrong?" Asume asked concern entering his voice over the health and well being of his niece, the only thing he has left of his baby sister.
"Hai, hai Asume she is alright. But please be quite so she can sleep and follow me to the sitting room, there is thing we must discuss and before you even start yes it concerns Sakura and Konoha."
"Hai father alright as long as you are sure she is alright." Asume said as he walked over to where Sakura still slept on the couch and made sure the hokage robes covered her completely as well as moved her hair away from her forehead and softly left a kiss there, man did she hate it when he did that but atleast this time she wouldn't know anything about it. He snickered as he walked back to his father and they left the room to talk in the sitting room as not to wake Sakura up. If they would have only paid better attention they both would have notice that she was only faking to be asleep.
The sitting room was a small room inside the hokage's office with just a end table with two love seats, one on each side of the end table. The room was a cream color with picture's of the past Hokage's and of Konoha through the age's.
Just as soon as both of them were inside and the door closed behind them. Asume whirled around on his father with a look that would probably have an Uchiha even a little worried.
"Father, what the hell is going on? And what does it have to do with Sakura?"
"Asume sit and calm down. Then I will explain everything to you... Now first I need you to listen to me before you below off the handle, alright?"
"Hai, I'm sorry father it's just when it comes to Sakura you know how I get sometimes."
"Hai that is why I need you to stay calm while I explain the things that have taken place just recently." Sarutobi said as he rubbed his face thinking that this was the third longest day of his life, the first two were when his two children were born. "Now Asume you know it's about time for Sakura to be train by an Uchiha, right?" Sarutobi paused long enough for Asume to nod his head. "Well before I tell you who I have chosen I would like your opinion on who you think would be a good choice for her; given the fact that there are not many we can trust with this information."
"Father there is only one I would ever consider and even trust with my life let alone with Sakura's life and that is Itachi. You should you know that Father."
"Hai, I thought that would be your choice, but due to the event's that have happen recently, which I will get to in a moment, I have already told Itachi about Sakura and her eye's and he has seen them as well. Also he understand's the risks that is to come with knowing about her and her relations to us and has given his word to not let anyone else know unless he has to. Now before I contiue I will let you in on something our little Sakura blossom is growing up she has already abtain the Mangekyo Sharingan. I am sending Itachi, Sakura and you on a mission I need the two of you to train her in the Sharingan as well as teach her how to use the summoning scroll. Now you three will be leaving in two days time but you need to be back in time for the tournament. You understand?"
"Hai father I understand. But are you really going to give her the scrolls? Do you think that is wise?" Asume asked not sure why the sudden change in everything.
"Hai, I do, she will be needing it soon because Orochimaru attacked Sakura and her team in the Forest of Death..."
