"Sasuke-kun after your chat with Itachi-kun ... Please go immediately to our training room ... You need to tell me ... how was your walk." Orochimaru ordered while smiling before he left them alone. In that moment Sasuke knew, he's in trouble.

Sasuke nodded, and waited a little bit more to make sure that Orochimaru is away enough. The younger Uchiha pull out his sword and push Itachi to the tree. The sharp weapon was dangerously close to his neck, Itachi and his partner didn't bother to stop him.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that." The said partner warned him.

He removed the strawhat he was wearing. By now, Sasuke can fully see his face. He had the same features as the blonde teen he know.

Just like his Naruto, this guy also had blue eyes.

But his eyes have glint mischief in them, while Sasuke's Naruto have a some passion and determination on them, it was warm. “I've been looking over thousands of pair of eyes, trying if I can see the same determination and passion, but I couldn't. I couldn't see the same warmness, I only find it on Naruto. I love it when I see my reflection on his eyes.”

They also had the same shade of blond hair but his was longer, he had bangs that cover his left eye, that reminds Sasuke a certain kunoichi, this guy also ties his hair on a high ponytail.

Sasuke completely ignore his warning and thrust his sword deeper on Itachi's neck, Sasuke felt contented when he see some blood oozing out from his brother's neck.

Sasuke noticed that Itachi has no intention of fighting back, Itachi just stood there and allowed his otouto do whatever he wanted. Well, Sasuke couldn't waste the chance Itachi's giving him, right? Sasuke was about to slash his sword forward when he again heard the blonde's annoying voice.

"Just tell him Itachi! Before he really kills you." He warned.

"Patience, Deidara." Itachi said while pushing away the sword that was pointed on his neck, He even refused to check the deep wound on his neck.

"Follow me Sasuke ... Wait us here, Deidara." Itachi ordered, and started to walk away.

Sasuke glared at Deidara for interrupting him to kill his brother, he was so close on doing it. Sasuke grudgingly followed his brother. But before he can pass Deidara, the said adult just childishly stuck his tounge out.

Sasuke was itching to punch Deidara's annoying face, he take back all the things he said earlier, Naruto was way more attractive than this parasite.

After a while of walking, Sasuke grew impatient like he always do and demands for answers, he decided voice his confusion and asked Itachi.

"What do you want to talk about?." Sasuke asked and stopped walking, Itachi did the same and faced him. Itachi sigh like he was having a hard time choosing the right words he's going to use, as if he knows Sasuke won't understand him easily.

"What. Do. You. Want." Sasuke hissed, he feels like he's head would explode on how many questions he was dying to ask his brother, he was so close on gripping his hair off.

“I can't believe how can Itachi be so ... so calm? This is the first time we met since he slaughtered the whole Uchiha clan, after he murdered our parents, and left the village. Then now, he would just randomly come and say he wants to talk to me? How fucked up is that?.”

"It's about Uzumaki." Itachi said and looked straight down to his brother, Sasuke look confused for a while before his Sharingan suddenly flare, familiar pattern appearing on his eyes.

"What did you do to him?." Sasuke growled, as he tighten his grip on his sword, he clearly is not going to hesitate to use that to his brother.

"Calm down, Sasuke ..." Itachi said, as he closed his eyes. Itachi sure knows that this will not be easy.

"Listen, Itachi. Touch Naruto and I will not hesitate to kill you, I don't care if you're my brother ... The only one who will kill Naruto is me, no one else." Sasuke croaked, and slightly shaking.

Itachi raise one of his brows, “Kill Naruto, huh?.”

"Do not worry, Sasuke. I didn't touch Naruto ... not yet atleast." Itachi bit back a groaned when he suddenly met the grassy ground, Sasuke was hovering him. Clearly had him cornered, "Die."

When Sasuke was about to thrust his sword on Itachi, he was suddenly thrown on the three when a something suddenly explode on his face. It looks like small spiders. Sasuke grunted, and wiped the blood on the side of his lips.

"Can't you just hear him out?!." Deidara exclaimed, while he stood proudly beside Itachi.

"I know you're ... interested on the Jinchūriki of the Nine Tails -" Itachi was cut off by his own partner's exagged loud gasp.

"You like him? Now, that's shocking. Considering what your brother's tell me - he said you tried to kill him." Deidara ranted, Sasuke didn't said anything and just stare at the two of them.

"That's not important. The reason why we're here because we're ordered to Kidnap all the nine Jinchūriki. Including Naruto." Itachi explained.

"And why are you telling me all of this?." Sasuke question, suddenly feeling suspicious on how his brother behave.

"It's not important why I'm telling you this now. Pein wants to collect all of the nine tailed beasts." Itachi explained.

"Naruto is a Jinchūriki ...?" Sasuke whispered in disbelief.

"He's the container of the Nine Tails, Kyuubi." Itachi stated, as he narrow his ebony eyes at his brother,

Sasuke understand it now, In that moment in Forest of Death and in the Land of Waves was not Naruto, Those demonic red eyes that staring back at him, itwas not Naruto. That was the very eyes of the demon fox itself.

"What if we give him the nine tails? He would leave Naruto alone, right?." Sasuke asked as he seathed back his sword.

"Yes he would, but ... When you retract a bijuū from it's Jinchūriki, there's a high possibility that the said Jinchūriki won't survive." Deidara explained, he don't act childish anymore.

Sasuke then started to laugh hysterically, and wiped the tears starting to form from his eyes. Deidara turn confusedly Itachi to ask why his brother is acting like that. Deidara then shivered when Sasuke stopped laughing and just stare at them cold-ly.

"Don't you think it's a little too late to start acting like a caring big brother?." Sasuke hissed.

"This doesn't mean anything." Sasuke stated, "I still plan on fighting you, Itachi. And when that day comes, I will make sure you'll die."
