Bring it on, little brother.

They were almost there. Orochimaru and Itachi were already ready. Sasuke was ready. He drew his hand with the blue ball of chacra and aimed it tward his older brother. He struck his Itachi multiple times and Sasuke missed every time. " Little brother you are still very weak". Said Itachi dodging another one of Sasukes blows.

Sasukes Chidori was weakining from all teh missed blows. He had one more shot. It was now or never. He drew his hand back and slamed it right into Itachis stomach. All the air inside of Itachi drained from his body and he dropped to his knees. He looked stunned. Sasuke looked down at his older brother. He had finally done what he wanted to do for years. Beat his older brother. Now all he had to do was finish him off. He wished Sakura was here to congradulate him. But first he had to see how Naruto was doing with Orochimaru. He turned to where Naruto and Orochiamru were fighting.

Sasuke was stunned at the way Naruto looked. He was covered in his blood. He had deep wounds ing his chest and arms. Strangly he was still counsious. Sasuke thought it was because of the nine tailed foxes will not to give up and lose, and because Naruto was stuborn." Naruto stop, please!" Said a familiar voice running tward Naruto and Orochiamru. It was Sakura! Naruto and Orochiamru turned to see her running tward Naruto. Naruto instantly changed back to himself." Sakura your ok". Said Naruto dropping to his knees from lack of energy and blood." Naruto"! Said Sakura. She came up to him and knelt down in front of Naruto. Sasuke became jelous. So to try and get Sakuras attencion he ran over to her and Naruto.

When Sakura saw Sasuke she stood up after cleaning and bandiging up Naruto. "Sasuke". Said Sakura when Sasuke reached her. Her eyes filled up with tears." Sob, Sasuke im sorry, but you have to believe me i dident betray..." She stopped. Sasuke grabbed her arms, pulling her close to him and hugged her. She was suprised at first but then she hugged him back. She could feel how warm he was. Meanwhile while Naruto was watching them, he was as jelous as ever." oh thats all sweet little brother, but dont you remember that Sakura is mine".Said Itachi walking over to Orochimaru.

Naruto stood up and Sasuke and Sakura backed away from them." I got you last time, this time ill finish you off for good". Said Sasuke standing in front of Sakura. "That was a lucky shot, it wont happen again". Said Itachi getting angry and putting his hand on the spot where Sasuke struck him." That may have been a lucky shot Itachi, but it looks like Sasuke did some damage to you". Said Sakura. Sasuke and Naruto looked at her in amazement. She blushed. Itachi and Orochimaru both looked at her the same way. Her face became sturn.

" Well Sasuke today is the day that I finally kill you". Said Itachi. This angered SAkura. She was so mad because of what Itachi did to Sasuke and his clan in the past." Sasuke, Im sorry but I have to do this". Said Sakura. Sasuke turned around to face her. He was confused. She ran around Sasuke and headed for Itachi." Sakura stop!!" Screamed Sasuke and Naruto." Foolish girl". Said Orochimaru." Itachi let me teach her a leason". Said Orochiamru." Fine but I warn you if you kill her I will kill you".Warned Itachi.

Orochimaru walked up a couple steps and then he pulled one of his sleeves up and bit his thumb until it started to bleed.Meanwhile Sakura took out a lot of kunai and shurken and kept them in her hands and kept running tward her target. Orochimaru took his bleeding thumb and put his arm out.Sasuke and Naruto knew what was comming but Sakura dident even notice. He started from the inside of his elbow to all the way down to his palm, a red strip of blood running down his arm. He put his hands together and made hand signs." Ninja art, summining justu"! He screamed. Suddenly this huge snake appeared and Orochiamru was standing on the head of the snake. " Sakura".! Screamed Naruto." Get out of there!"Finished Sasuke.

But Sakura wasent afraid. She drew back both of her hands that were full of kunai and shuriken and threw them all at Orochiamru and his big snake. The snakes tail swated them all and they fell to the ground and without making even a scratch on the tail of the snake." What?!" Said a suprised Sakura." Your next Sakura". Said Orochiamru. The snakes tail swung right back tward Sakura. It hit her right in the side and she went flying.She coughed up blood.

"SAKURA!!" Said Sasuke and Naruto. She started to fall to the ground when someone swooped up and caught her. They both drooped to the ground. Sakura was uncouncious in his arms. Sasuke and Naruto ran over to the figure and Sakura. They came up to them." Kakashi"! Said Naruto."Here Said Kakashi handing Sakura to Sasuke." Naruto are you ok to fight"?" Ya"." Lets go Naruto".

Sasuke looked down at the sleeping Sakura. She had become so strong and brave and he dident even notice tell now. But he could tell that she was tierd because she was under that curse for so long and even after that she had the strength to challenge Orochimaru and hold her own. He looked up to see Kakashi fighting Itachi and Naruto back at it with Orochimaru. " Kakashi, do you really think you can beat me"? Asked Itachi." Well i wont know until its all over". SAid Kakashi lifting up his head band to revel his Sharingan." You think that will help you think again. Dont forget that i have it to but in both eyes". Reminded Itachi." I dont need to be reminded Itachi". Said Kakashi.

Kakashi charged for Itachi with full force. " Itachi". Said Orochiamru." We should retreat". SAid Orochiamru with Naruto striking him. Then Naruto hit Orochimaru in the shoulder almost breaking his arm. Itachi knew that he was almost out of chacra himself. And he became angry because of this." Okay". Said an Angry Itachi who nearly dodged a blow to the head by Kakashi. Itachi lept back of off Kakashi and waited for Orochiamru. Oroachiamru saw Itachi and punched Naruto right in the gut and he flew landing on his back on the hard ground uncouncious." Naruto!" Said Kakashi running over to Naruto. Sasuke joined them with Sakura in his arms still uncouncious. He had held her close to him. He looked up at his older brother and saw Orochaimru who had joined him. Thats odd, why would he retreat. Thought Sasuke." Mark my words, we will be back for you little brother, and Sakura to". Hissed Itachi and then they left. Kakashi picked up a very baddly beaten up and wounded Naruto.

And well be ready Itachi. Said Sasuke." Sasuke come on I think we should take Sakura and Naruto to the hospital. You to have to go because i see that you also have some cuts that have to be healed. That goes for me as well". Said Kakashi." Okay. Im just glad that the village wasent destroyed by Itachi and Orochaimru, and that i have Sakura back". SAid Sasuke And with that Sasuke and Kakashi walked tward the hospital.

Naruto woke up and found himself in a hospital bed all bandeged up on his arms and tightly aroiund his chest. He sat up and his chest shot up an amazing amout of pain on Naruto. He winced and sat back a little bit." Dont move around alot Naruto". Said Kakashi. Naruto looked at Kakashi and Sasuke on his right side." You are such a loser". Said Sasuke." Sasuke Shut up!" Said Naruto. " Calm down".Said Kakashi. Naruto saw them being bandeged by two nurses." Hey wheres SAkura?" Asked Naruto looking around the room." Shes in another room". Said Sasuke.

" Sakura is being treated by a specail doctor for the bruse inflicted by Orochiamrus snake on her right side. Its pritty bad she also has deep wounds on her arms from fighting with the jonin". Said the nurse treating Sasuke. "Okay Sasuke your all done"." You too Kakashi".Said the nurses." Thank you". Said Kakashi. " We will go and see how Sakura is doing". Said the nurses and then they left the room.

Meanwhile in Sakuras room. Sakura was still asleep. The doctor was still healing her side. Finally Sakura woke up." Where am I?" She asked looking at the doctor." you are at the hospital and i am healing your wounds so please stay as still as possible i am almost finished". Said the doctor." Okay". Said Sakura and she became as still as she possibly could. The nurses came into the room just as the doctor was finishing up." There im done, so Sakura how do you feel"? Asked the doctor. Sakura got up and out of her bed and walked around the room." I feel great". Said Sakura bending and stretching." thats good so your all finished and im going to heal another patcient" Sid the doctor." Um doctor do you know if my friends are here"? Asked Sakura.

" And who are your friends dear". asked the nurse." their names are Kakashi Hataki, Naruto Uzumaki, and..." She stopped and began to blushed." And Sasuke Uchiha". Finished Sakura." Oh them their two doors down from you". Said one of the nurses." Actally I was just on my way there to heal your friend Naruto". Said the doctor." Oh thank yu". SAid Sakura.CHA! Ya i wonder what Sasuke thinks of me know ya go Sakura! Said inner Sakura. They all four walked out of the room and two doors down to Narutos room. They entered the room. Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke looked up. They were suprised to see Sakura out of bed so soon." Sakura-san your okay". Said Naruto. " Ya im fine". SAid Sakura.

SAkura walked over to Sasuke and bent down to his level(he was sitting in a chair),and put her hands on Sasukes thighs. He blushed." Sakura im glad your okay" Said Sasuke. Meanwhile the doctor and the two nerses started to heal Naruto." Sasuke..Sob, Im so sorry that you got hurt because of me". Sobbed Sakura and she turned her head to the side because she knew Sasuke would not want to see her crying. All Sasuke did was smiled at her. He lifted his hand and turned Sakuras head back around." I would do anything for you Sakura". Said Sasuke grabbing her and held her close to him. Sakura just hugged him back and cryed on Sasukes shoulder." Its okay Sakura im here". Said Sasuke. But in the outside window Itachi was looking inside." Enjoy it while you can, Sasuke.

While Sakura was cring on Sasukes shoulder Kakashi was looking at the curse mark on Sakuras neck. It was changing the colors black and then red. This ment that Itachi was some where near by. He looked around the room looking for him." okay Naruto im done, how do you feel"? Asked the doctor. Naruto jumped out of bed almost nocking down the doctor." I fell great i feel bran new believe it"! Anounced Naruto. By now Sakura had stopped crying." Allright i think were all set to go". Said Kakashi.

" Okay". They Said. Sakura walked over to the doctor and nurses." thank you for healing me sir". Said Sakura politly." Your welcome". He Said. Then they walked out of the room and out of the hospital." Allright everyone we have had a ruf couple of days so lets take it easy for a while". Said Kakashi." Naruto and Sasuke I need to talk to you two, Sakura you can go home and ill see you tomorrow in the forest". Said Kakashi." Okay see you tomorrow Kakashi and Naruto".She Said. She walked over to Sasuke and kissed him on the cheek. After Sasuke put his hand where Sakura had kissed it and blushed." Bye Sasuke see you tomorrow". She said and then started to run to her house waving at the boys." Ya bye". Said Sasuke still blushing.

They waved back until they couldent see her anymore. then Sasuke and Naruto turned their heads tward Kakashi." We need to be extra carful". Started Kakashi." What do you mean"? Asked Naruto." I mean we have to watch Sakura and make sure Itachi doesent come in any kind of contact with Sakura or this hole thing will start over again and i dont think this village can take another attach like the last one". Said Kakashi." So what do you want us to do"? Asked Sasuke." we will have to keep a eye on her all the time intil itachi gives up on her".Said Kakashi." So tonight Ill start and keep an eye on her for the whole night btu tomorrow it will be your guys turn you need to watch her the hole day after pratice".He said." But Kakashi wont you get tired staying up all night"? Asked Naruto.

" Ill be fine ill see you tommorrow". Said Kakashi and then he left to Sakuras house. Sasuke was woried for Sakura, he did nto want to lose her again, and voved to do whatever it took to keep her safe." Well im going home, see you tomorrow Sasuke". Said Naruto ." ya me too".Said Sasuke. And they went their seprate ways. Meanwhile at itachis little house. Orochiamru was laying on a small bed a bandage around his shoulder. itachi poffed into the room. Orochiamru opeaned his snake like eyes" So"? Asked Orochiamru." their all fully healed and went home". Said Itachi." So then why dont you go and get her then". Asked Orochiamru." Because the boys are keeping a watchful eye on her". Said Itachi." So how do plan to get her back then"? Asked Orochiamru." Well, I think that because they are keeping such a watchful eye on her that she will begin to drift away from them". He Said." And thats when ill get her". He said." Good plan". Said Orochiamru and then closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
