Previous chapter:
Sasuke had been released from the hospital after the small fight with Itachi and Naruto decided to help cheer him up. Kisame had really bad news for Itachi. They got a new mission. Konoha needed to be destroyed.

Chapter 4:
Problem's arise! The new mission!

Sasuke's pov:

"Friend and rivals, hm?" Sasuke looked at Naruto, who still smiled brightly, but his smile did soften a bit.

"Yeah, Sasuke. Of course we are friends, but we are also rivals. There is a thin line between those tow, right?"

'I wonder how thin the line between family and a lover is?' Sasuke thought.

"Hey, Sasuke"

Sasuke looked up again, to see Naruto looking at him. Naruto looked kind of worried.

"You alright? After everything that has happened?"

"Dobe. I'm here for a reason. To not get such stupid question." Sasuke said visible irritated.

"Sorry Sasuke. I just am kind of worried about you". Naruto said sincerely.

Sasuke sighed, looking down to his feet, that didn't touch the ground because he was on the tree stump.

"Please don't look so depressed Sasuke." Naruto said.

Sasuke cringed inwardly at the stupid blond, but he knew he didn't mean any harm.

"Naruto..?" Sasuke started, still looking at his feet.

"Hai?"

Sasuke smiled a bit, thinking about him.

"How do you know if someone loves you back?" Then Sasuke remembered at who he asked this question and said. "Never mind. I doubt you will know the answer."

"What will you do if I do know the answers?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke looked up a bit shocked.

Naruto smiled sadly at him, wondering if he should answer the question.

"I suppose you can't really know if I a person loves you, Sasuke. But you can ask the person though? Is it someone I know, Sasuke?" The last part Naruto was teasing him and Sasuke noticed it and smiled(a true smile this time).

"I wish I could ask the person. But I'm not on really good terms with him, Naruto."

"Him?" Naruto said.

Sasuke then realized his misstep and a blush crept up his face.

'Damm, gladly Naruto isn't so clever, otherwise he could already know who it is.'

Naruto laughed when he saw the blush on Sasuke's face.

"Oh My God. You are so blushing" Naruto said while pointing at the Uchiha. Sasuke knew the blond was teasing him and he could take it right now. He could even use it, cause he didn't feel so sad anymore. The blond could always lift everyone's spirit.

Sasuke looked at Naruto who was still laughing a bit. Sasuke laughed at Naruto's reaction saying:

"Like you have never been in love with someone. Do you also act like this with Sakura?" Sasuke teased back and Naruto took the bait immediately.

"Hey teme. The conversation was your love life not mine". Sasuke simply grinned as Naruto pointed accusingly towards him.

"Naruto".

Naruto looked at Sasuke, when he sounded serious again.

Sasuke also looked at him, but his face had become unreadable again.

Naruto gave a small nod, as a sign that Sasuke could continue.

"Let's go. There is a meeting of our team in just a few minutes."

Naruto nodded saying.

"Alright. Let's go. I wonder if Kakashi-sensei is already out of the hospital though."

Sasuke looked shocked at Naruto. He had forgotten about their sensei in the hospital. It all started when he wanted to visit him, but he never imagined it would turn out like this. Sasuke closed his eyes briefly trying not to think about anything of that subject and started walking after Naruto, who was already ahead.

'Naruto. Something tells me you know more, than you let through? I wonder if it's about Itachi though?'Sasuke thought as he looked at the back of the said blond.

Itachi's pov:
Itachi was furious to say the least. He couldn't simply accept this mission. He knew he couldn't.

That does explain why Kisame was so hesitant when he said it, he knew that he couldn't take anymore.

They had failed to bring Naruto here, but to go so far. Itachi wouldn't accept it.

He wouldn't destroy whole Konoha, but also not…

He just couldn't. He walked angry throughout the headquarters of the Akatsuki towards the room of the leader. Pain.

He really needed to talk about this with him. He wasn't planning on going this far.

He didn't even knock. No Itachi just barged into the room and shut the door hard behind him.

Pain who was the only one in the room looked up, from the couch he was sitting on.

"I knew you would come, Itachi." He stated softly.

"I assume you heard about the new mission. There will be no problem at all. Konoha will be destroyed and we will kill everyone."

"How can you fucking sit there so calm and say that!", Itachi almost screamed, but he remained calm still. He was an Uchiha after all.

Pain smiled softly and turned a bit so he was facing the Uchiha head-on.

"I know deep down you still care for your hometown, Itachi. But I don't really understand why.."

Pain couldn't finish the sentence as Itachi said:

"It's my personal life, so you don't need to know. But I don't accept this mission." Itachi said cold.

Pain looked at the Uchiha. He knew Itachi never revealed how he really felt.

"It's no my choice, Uchiha Itachi. You know I'm just following orders from higher-up. If you want this mission cancelled, then you must speak with Uchiha Madara." Pain stated softly, knowing deep down the Uchiha might break down completely. He saw Itachi was tired. His eyes had become dull like something horrible had happened.

Itachi just looked at him.

"Where is Madara by the way?" Itachi asked, tying to recollect his thoughts to get the mission cancelled.

Madara looked at Itachi and stood up, walking towards a door slowl opening it.

"Madara-sama. Uchiha Itachi wants to speak with you."

Itachi looked in wonder when the answer came.

"Let him in." A cold voice stated, but there was also amusement heard in the voice. And it pissed Itachi off.

Pain turned around.

"Go ahead. Itachi", Pain said softly.

Itachi walked towards Pain who walked backwards so he could pass. Then he went inside to see Madara reading some scrolls on his couch. He was laying on his back and had a scroll in his hands.

"Itachi. It has been a long time since you came to me, but I assume you're here for a reason." Madara stated already knowing how he would react to this mission.

Itachi heard that Pain had closed the door behind him and he walked forward, without an invitation he sat down on the chair by the bookshelf in the corner.

"I would like you to cancel the mission of the destruction of Konoha." Itachi asked polite, trying to remain calm, despite the anger in him.

Madara looked up and smirked.

"You know I can't cancel the mission. It's for the sake of the entire world, Itachi. Konoha will have to fall."

Itachi watched angered at Madara.

Madara just remained clam and watched the other Uchiha.

"Is this about Uchiha Sasuke, Itachi?" Madara asked, trying to read why Itachi wants to cancel the mission.

"I would have given my life for Konoha, but I care more about Sasuke than my life. I would give everything I have to protect him. So yes. It's about Sasuke". Itachi stated softly the anger fading slowly.

"So the only problem with the mission is the annihilation of all people inside Konoha." Madara asked.

"What will you do if I say I want Uchiha Sasuke dead. Cause he isn't worthy of remaining alive."

Itachi was visible shocked by this, but then his eyes became hard again as he said.

"If that's the case, then I will destroy the Akatsuki. I don't care. My brother means much more to me than any of you. No one can compare to Sasuke." Itachi said as he tried to understand where Madara was aiming at.

"You will destroy us, hm? Then I change the mission. Destroy Konoha, the annihilation of all people, except one Sasuke Uchiha may remain alive. And also I want the Kyuubi caught."

Itachi was shocked by this answer, but Madara went on.

"We can't have to deal with a traitor inside the Akatsuki." Madara grinned at Itachi.

"Especially no Uchiha. Cause you are strong enough to kill us all, maybe." The grin never left Madara's face.

Itachi visible relaxed, Sasuke would stay alive.

He closed his eyes and let a small smile across his face.

Madara looked at Itachi as the smile vanished just as quickly as it was never even there.

Itachi opened his eyes and looked at the elder Uchiha.

"Arigatou, Madara-sama." Itachi said softly while he stood up and left.

Itachi walked towards the door without waiting for an answer.

Pain looked up when the door opened again to reveal a relaxed Itachi.

Itachi walked past Pain not even acknowledging him.

When Itachi was also outside his room Pain stood up to ask what the mission was now.

He was kind of curious, cause Itachi had clearly heard good news.

He saw that Madara hadn't even moved during their conversation, but Madara did look up when he felt that Pain was inside the door opening.

"I assume you want to know the new mission." Madara asked while smirking.

"Hai, Madara-sama." Pain answered truthfully.

Madara smirked and looked back towards his scroll.

"There isn't any change." He stated softly.

"What! But what did you tell Itachi then?" Pain asked kind of confused.

Madara looked up again and saw the confused look on Pain's face. It was priceless.

"I told him we can let Sasuke live. But the others won't know anything about this. So one of the others get the permission to kill him. I don't want such a weak Uchiha alive. I don't care if Itachi leave us, after he helps with the destruction of Konoha." Madara grinned evilly.

Pain looked at Madara and understood the plan completely.

"Who do you want to give the permission to kill Sasuke Uchiha?" Pain asked.

Madara looked up eyeing Pain.

"I can entrust only one person with it. You, Pain." Madara stated serious.

"Why me, Madara-sama?"

"Because you are the only one who would be able to stand before Itachi and live through it. You are, beside me, the strongest member of the Akatsuki."

Pain gave a small smile and nod.

"I understand. I will accept this mission. And keep it a secret from everyone."

"Alright, dismissed Pain". Madara said and he went back to reading the scroll.

Pain bowed. "Understand."

Pain walked backwards and closed the door.

'Itachi will kill all of us, correction he will kill me, if he knows about this. And also Madara. I can't fail this secret mission.' Pain thought while still standing again the door.

Madara grinned as he felt that Pain was still standing against his door, thinking.

What fools they all were. They were just pawns, being used. Now it was time for the big clash and destruction of Konoha.

Madara grinned, reading the scroll, for the capture of the Kyuubi. He would use the Kyuubi again the whole City Hidden in the Leaves.

End of chapter 4!
