Revenge Gone Awry
Chapter 1
The newly reformed Team 7 leapt though the trees, chasing after a certain renegade ninja. Uchiha Itachi was on the run after failing, once again, to kill the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade.
"Foolish brother" he shouted behind him at the chuunin's that followed closely. "Do you honestly think you can beat me this time, when you have failed miserably every single time?" A quick glance back told him he had received no response other than Uchiha Sasuke's trademark scowl. Smirking to himself, Itachi quickly increased his speed, leaving more distance between him and the children.
The rage that seeped from Sasuke's body was immediately caught by his teammates, Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura. Catching the nervous look in each other's eyes, the each reached out their hands and attempted to stop Sasuke.
Hesitantly, Sakura began to speak to her furious friend. "Come on Sasuke. He's go-"
"NO!" Sasuke interrupted. "I WILL catch him! It's my duty. Now let GO!" With that, Sasuke sent a pulse of chakra through his body, momentarily stunning his teammates long enough for him to dash away after his brother.
Itachi. I will get you if it's the LAST thing I do
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 seconds after Sasuke ran, Naruto shook himself out of his daze. CRAP! He's gone after Itachi without us!!!!
"Sakura! Wake up!" he screamed at the pink-haired kunoichi, "The teme's gone after him!"
Sakura slowly started to shake off the feeling that the chakra left within her body. "Of course he did baka! What else would he do!?" she shouted back.
"I'm going after him…wait about 5 minutes then follow me. I'm going to try to talk him out of it." Naruto stated once he found she was coherent. "Lord knows, he listens to me more than you." He finished with a smirk.
"Fine…just go" Sakura said, with tears shimmering in her green eyes. "Just bring him back."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jumping from branch to branch, Itachi sensed the chakra of his baby brother following him, alone. Smirking to himself, he turned and stood on his branch, awaiting the arrival of the parrot-haired Uchiha. I have waited a long time for this moment Sasuke…Just don't disappoint me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bounding quickly through the dense forest, Sasuke knew his stunning wouldn't last too long. Damn Itachi. You are not getting away this time
"Wait! What?!" Abruptly stopping, Sasuke's heart skipped a beat. Activating his sharingan, he said mockingly "Oh, are you waiting for me nee-chan?"
Glaring at his little brother, Itachi's cold red eyes burned into Sasuke's. Keeping to the normal sharingan and getting into a battle stance, he smoothly replied "You've kept me waiting long enough."
With that, Itachi threw a kunai straight at his younger brother
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must get to him! Naruto chanted in his head as he pushed himself to catch up with the Uchiha brothers. If I don't get to him soon, he'll be dead…and I'll have let Sakura-chan down. No! I can make it!
With an extra burst of speed, Naruto jumped through a particularly dense bush into a slight clearing. Looking above him, he saw his targets, the man who has kept him busy for the past 4 years, and the man who kept HIM busy. Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha stood on the branches above him, glaring at each other. Suddenly, Itachi threw the kunai.
"Sasuke! WATCH OUT!" Naruto yelled at his best friend, who dodged the first kunai thrown. Unbeknownst to either of the chuunins, Itachi had thrown a shuriken boomerang style.
Smirking at his older brother, Sasuke relaxed slightly. "Is that all you ca-" is all he managed to get out before he was hit from behind with the shuriken. Piercing his heart, Sasuke let out a desperate scream before falling from the branch.
As Naruto ran to catch his friend, Itachi turned to leave. As he readied himself to tear away, he glanced back over his shoulder and simply said, "I win."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Catching Sasuke, Naruto carefully lowered him to the ground. Blinking away tears, he cradled his friend in his arms. A second later, Sakura burst through the trees. Seeing her beloved dying, she broke down and cried.
Opening his eyes slowly, Sasuke looked up at naruto softly. With his last bit of energy, he lightly said "Naruto, kill that bastard for me" before falling limp in Naruto's arms.
Nodding at Sakura, Naruto turned and dashed away, a cold, hard glare setting itself upon his features. This time Itachi, Naruto thought bitterly, you die.
