Title: Bait

Author's note: This is set on a modern universe. The Uchihas and Namikazes are neighbour.

Itachi was reading the newspaper silently. His younger brother was elsewhere playing with a pink haired girl. Which would leave him with a bored Namikaze Naruto who refused to look after his two best friends claiming that he wanted to accompany Itachi.

'He probably got into a fight with Sasuke again.' The 14 year old boy thought silently. As he turned the pages of the newspaper he noticed that there were a lot of kidnapping cases. He looked at the seven year old beside him. Putting down the newspaper he looked at Naruto.

"Naruto-kun.. If stranger gave you this," he took out 1000 yen from his pocket,"and ask for you to follow him,would you follow him?"

The blond boy immediately snorted. "No way! I'd never fall for that. Kaa-san said I shouldn't go near strangers." And to add effect Naruto crossed his arms an shook his head dramaticly. The elder boy raised an eyebrow. He then took out 50 000 yen out of his wallet and waving it in front of Naruto.

"How about this?"

Naruto stared intensely at the money. He thought deeply. Itachi looked very annoyed. Giving a deep sigh he smacked Naruto's lightly. Said boy flinched.

"ITAI! What did you do that?"

"Next time don't let people bait you so easily. And why would a kid like you need money?"

Naruto shook his head at Itachi's question as if it was the most simple and easy question in the world.

"I need the money. That way I can bribe Sakura-chan to marry me. And I also need pocket money to bribr the police so they'll capture Sasuke-teme."

Itachi twitched..

SMACK

Naruto,again, rubbed his head muttering how painful it is. Itachi ignored Naruto and once again opened the newspaper to continue his reading. Suddenly Naruto snatched the newspaper from Itachi. The elder boy looked at the blonde bewildred at his sudden interest.

"Ne,Itachi nii-san, this girl looked pretty eh? Maybe I could marry her if things don't work out with Sakura-chan"

Naruto exclaimed while pointing to the picture of the kidnapped girl.

SMACK

"Itaiiiiiiii !"

Somewhere in a nearby park..

"Ne,Sasuke-kun,did you hear that?" Sakura asked her black haired friend. Sasuke looked at her in question.

"You mean like someone yelling 'Itai' with a painful voice?"

Yees,exactly like that.." the pinkette said suspiciously.

"Nah,I didn't hear it."
