I hope you all enjoy this latest chapter and enjoy the trip into the deepest recesses of Sasu-chan's heart! Mwahahaha Enjoy everyone!
She continued leaping from tree to tree. Her eyes stung with tears. She couldn't believe it. She felt the chakra in Naruto. She knew he was holding back...But Her Chidori was at ¼ its normal power...and she knew. She knew he was only using 1/8th the power in his Rasengan. And it hurt. It hurt her heart to know he cared that much that he wasn't even giving his all.
"You bastard...You kind caring bastard..."
She muttered to herself as she stopped her hopping and landed near a small lake she sat on one of the rocks and hugged herself as the tears started to flow. She couldn't believe it. Her rock hard grip on her emotions where now shattered. She wanted to cry and to pound Naruto. Why the hell was this happening to her.
"Damn you Naruto...Damn you to hell..."
She was starting to cry hard now. Until a rustling of the branches caused her to pull a kunai in defense but she froze as her tear filled eyes took in the one sight she didn't want to see. Her sister, Itachi.
"Why are you crying, Sasuke?" Her sister had been the only other one to survive the holocaust that hit the Uchiha clan. When Itachi's best friend turned on the clan and slaughtered them all. Itachi managed to save herself and her sister thanks to the Mangenkyo sharingan waking in her. But it still was a hard blow to the older girl. She became colder and distant, even to Sasuke. Even now she caught Sasuke crying.
She lowered her Kunai as Sasuke wiped her eyes with her arm bracer's and turned her black eyes back to her sister. Would she understand? Sasuke decided to take the risk.
"I don't know, Onee-san, if you will understand. .But, I want Naruto…to notice me. He sees me as a friend. But I want him to notice me as something more. I want that smile of his to be for me and no one else. It hurts...I challenged him to a spar to prove I was strong enough for him. But...He only used 1/8th of his power for his Rasengan...While I used a ¼th the power of my Chidori...and they canceled each other out. He is stronger than me. And I don't know how I can get him to submit to me..."
Smiling slightly, the older girl nodded as Sasuke spoke and then moved over and lightly poked Sasuke in the forehead before kneeling down lightly in front of the younger girl. Her now constant red eyes gaze at her.
"Sasuke-chan, you may think I don't understand, but I do. I loved Shisui and he turned on us. I know what it is like to want the attention of the person you care for Sasuke-chan. And I wish I could help you but the only thing I can do for you is to give you encouragement. Make Naruto see you for who you really are. Not just his friend and team mate. Make him see you as a woman."
Sasuke nodded she was glad her sister was sharing information but she needed to ask her another thing.
"Onee-san? Naruto doesn't seem to notice anything on my body. In fact he tries to go out of his way not to look at any part of my body but my face. Why is that?"
Smiling again, Itachi ruffled Sasuke's hair. She then stood up and sighed quietly.
"Sadly, Sasuke, the boy has a heart of gold and the soul of an angel...But...He is about as dense as a rock. He probably wouldn't know you are interested in him unless you beat it into his head. Even Shisui was like that."
Sasuke went a bit wide eyed as she remembered that Naruto revered to her as teme. She then lowered her head.
"Onee-chan...Naruto...Probably thinks...I am a boy. He calls me Teme..."
Smirking lightly Itachi kneeled down and whispered into Sasuke's ear. "Then break that thought before you lose him to Sakura, Gaara or even worse Ino."
Sasuke now glared at Itachi as her chakra flared surrounding her slightly. As her thoughts went to Sakura with Naruto, she couldn't doubt that may happen. And hell, Sakura would probably even share him if she asked. Even Ino probably would. But Gaara. She would be damned to hell if she was going to let that red headed bitch get
HER Naruto.
"NO! I won't let Gaara have him! That sand bitch better not touch him!"
Itachi grinned she knew she had lit the fire in Sasuke now. In fact, it would probably only take a bit more pushing.
"In fact Sasuke-chan...I think Naruto likes smaller chested girls and Sakura and Gaara are smaller in the bust than you."
At this, Sasuke lunged at Itachi in rage; she hated being reminded that she was pretty well endowed. It was why she wore such baggy clothing. It helped hide the developments on her chest, and now Itachi had enraged her.
"ONEE-CHAN!"
Itachi smirked and continued to easily dodge the sloppy angry kicks and punches of Sasuke. "You're not going to get Naruto with this sloppy form!"
Sasuke growled now as she jumped back and began to go through the hand signs needed and Itachi recognized the signs immediately and she knew she had crossed the line. Sasuke was going to use Ninjutsu on her.
"Damn it!" She herself began the same hand signs it always was such fun to watch as Sasuke's and her Katon jutsu's would clash it made her feel like she was helping her sister doing this.
"
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu !"
"
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu !"
They both took in huge deep breaths of air and then released the fire ball breath at each other. As the fireballs connected, they started to swirl around with each other as Sasuke and Itachi pumped more chakra into it. Itachi knew Sasuke's limit and pushed the equal amount of Chakra into the fireball as Sasuke did. Soon the Fireballs exploded into a pillar of fire as Sasuke and Itachi where a little bit winded Sasuke continued to glare at Itachi as she stood.
"That was mean and uncalled for, Onee-chan..."
"True, but it was worth it, Sasuke-chan, to get you to open up. You haven't gone all out on me with a Katon Jutsu in months and you at last did. Now just take that anger and turn it into a drive. A drive to prove to Naruto that you are worth his attention."
Sasuke stood there as the realization passed through her. Itachi-nee-chan was right. She would become a huntress. She would make him submit to her. And she had an Idea exactly how.
"I got an Idea, Onee-chan. I will let you know how it goes! But I have to act now! Sayonara!"
She again took to the trees towards her destination as another person stepped out of the trees lighting their pipe gently.
"Ho-hokage-sama!" Itachi quickly went to her knee in front of the wizened old leader.
"Stand Weasel. You are off duty right now. I witnessed you giving Sasuke-chan a desire and goal. You have a kind heart for your sister and you are correct. Naruto sadly is blind as a bat to both Sasuke and Gaara. He in fact just told me Gaara and Sasuke were acting strangely for guys."
Itachi now face faulted Naruto was truly dense her thoughts were confirmed. He didn't know Sasuke and Gaara were girls. Girls who wanted his attention and Girls who were known not to give up and always got what they wanted.
"You're kidding, Hokage-sama...Naruto can't be that dense."
"He is, Itachi. He is. You should know that. When you guarded him when he was a little boy, he often called you a guy to. He is stunted in his social life. I just pray that your sister and Gaara will help him."
Itachi nodded as she looked over her shoulder towards the direction Sasuke took off towards.
"And May Kami have mercy on his soul, Itachi, because Sasuke and Gaara won't. I just fear what the children will look like."
At that Itachi pictured her little sister pregnant and started laughing lightly till she smiled fondly at the Hokage.
"If that ever does come to pass, Hokage-sama, I will watch over all of them. It is my duty as a big sister."
Smiling the Hokage turned to head back towards the village.
"I look forward to the next couple days Itachi. If my hunch is correct, Sasuke and Gaara are going to be having a fight over that boy. Well, he deserves love. If those two wanna give it to him, I will do everything I can to make sure he keeps it. I will handle the Council, Itachi, should anything arise from them."
She smiled again and nodded. "Thank you, Hokage-sama."
He nodded and disappeared back into the forest as Itachi then took to the trees herself, her long hair blowing lightly in the breeze as she jumped from tree to tree. She needed to keep an eye on Gaara and Sasuke. And she hoped that neither of them would do something dumb...
