For lack of being able to come up with more, this chapter has two takes instead of three. Still, I hope you enjoy! ^^

~Take 30, and ACTION!~

"I know he's the one you're really after," Jiraiya said, referring to Naruto.

Sasuke looked up at Itachi, disbelief and even more betrayal evident in his expression from where he lay prostrate on the floor, his arm broken or at least close enough to it.

Itachi glanced down at his younger brother, then knelt beside him, tears flowing down his cheeks in rivers. "Sasuke, forgive me! You know I really did come after you! Naruto and the demon inside him was just an excuse I used! Master Jiraiya was misinformed, that's all!" he insisted. "What reason wouldn't I have for wanting to see my little baby brother again after all this time!"

Kisame and Naruto sighed, the same thing running through both their minds: Here we go again. Jiraiya's jaw hit the floor the way Naruto's had the first time Itachi had broken character. Sasuke's eye twitched once again.

"And to prove it, I'll let you get your revenge! Stand, O Mighty Sasuke the Great, and claim my life to avenge our clan!" Itachi stood, still crying, and the background suddenly became the ocean at sunset, Itachi standing on a large boulder. Waves crashed high behind him.

"Iiiitaaachiiiii," Sasuke complained.

The Gai-and-Lee-copyrighted background faded and Itachi looked down at Sasuke again. "Oh, right. I probably need to stop doing this type of thing, huh?"

"Probably," Naruto muttered next to a still-gaping Jiraiya.

~Take 31, and ACTION!~

"I know he's the one you're really after," Jiraiya repeated, still talking about Naruto.

Sasuke glared up at Itachi, the same expression as before etched in his face.

Itachi didn't even twitch. "That explains how Kakashi knew. Now I understand. He learned it from you," Itachi said. "You're right. Naruto is the prize that the Akatski are after."

Naruto's eyes were wide.

"…PSYCHE!" Itachi then shouted. "You really think I meant that, even after saying I came for my dear little brother?" He knelt next to Sasuke again and huggled him.

Naruto stared. "Uh, yeah, I think we got the general message."

Sasuke glared at the wall over Itachi's shoulder, since he couldn't very well glare at Itachi from this position. "You did it again," he told Itachi, annoyed.

"I did, didn't I?" Itachi sat back and studied Sasuke for a few minutes.

"Is this why it took so long for me to enter?" Jiraiya asked, pointing at the two.

Kisame sighed. "Pretty much."

Okay, so I think that unless I come up with some totally awesome ideas that absolutely demand to be written, or unless I get ideas from readers/reviewers, this is going to be my last chapter. Sorry! :/

Anyways, even if you don't have any ideas, don't let that stop you from reviewing this chapter! xP I still wanna know what you think! ^_^
