In the forest . . .
They have just discussed to Sapphire how Naruto is a jinchuriki, and Kakashi has asked her to try to divise a plan to protect jinchuriki, and destroy the akatsuki, because of her brain power, when suddenly . . .
Kakashi: Stop everyone!!
They all stop to see someone standing in front of them.
Sakura: . . . who?
Kakashi: . . . so soon?
Chiyo: He's . . . those eyes . . . !
Naruto: Itachi Uchiha!
Kakashi steps back.
Kakashi: *Whisper* Sapphire, I think that you're strategic enough to keep Naruto and Sakura back, while I fight. Keep them back at all costs, got it . . . Sapphire?
Kakashi looks back to see Sapphire shocked.
Kakashi: What's wrong, now?
Sapphire: * It can't be . . . ! But they look . . . s-so much alike! The hair, the face shape . . . and the eyes!*
Itachi looks over at Sapphire and Sakura.
Itachi: And who are these two?
Sakura: T-TWO PEOPLE YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW!!! JUST LEAVE US ALONE!!!
Itachi suddenly appears in front of Sapphire.
Sakura: NO!
Naruto: HEY!
Kakashi: Rnn . . . !
Itachi: Something . . . is very familiar about you.
Itachi slowly strokes his hand down her, until her finds a small burn on her shirt. (It came from training with Sasuke.)
Itachi: Yes, chakra still resides in this burn . . . his chakra.
Itachi chuckles and leans close to Sapphire's ear.
Itachi: *Whisper* Yes, we look farto much alike, don't we?
Sapphire: ugh . . . !
Itachi: You might be a good candidate for getting him to come to me.
Itachi grabs her face and makes her look directly into his eyes.
Kakashi: Sapphire, don't!!!!
Itachi lets go of her face, and she gets off balance and falls to the ground. Itachi walks back over to where he was, and Kakashi bends down next to Sapphire.
Kakashi: Are you alright?!!
Sapphire: Y-yeah . . . why?
Kakashi: It had to have done some-
Itachi: I didn't send her to the nightmare realm. I couldn't. But you've learned very much from only experiancing it once.
Kakashi: *He . . . couldn't . . . !* Ugh! Uh, the jutsu requires a considerable amount of chakra, and it seems there's quite a risk to your eyes, too. So, . . . how much of your eyesight have you lost?
Itachi's eyes widen, and he lowers his head.
Itachi: . . . Kakashi . . . are you . . . ?
Kakashi: . . . Anyway! I dropped my guard last time. But I don't make the same mistake twice.
Naruto smirks.
Naruto: And if you think I'M the same as before, you're making a big mistake!!
Sapphire: Naruto.
Sapphire gets up and walks over to Naruto.
Sapphire: . . . *soft tone* It's okay to be proud of yourself, but be cautious about pushing him too far.
Kakashi: Yeah, Naruto. I'll take him on.
Naruto glares at him.
Naruto: Is this more non-fighting teamwork?!
Kakashi: No, this time I need you for backup. I'd like to send you on ahead, but . . . I don't think I can take him alone.
Naruto smiles.
Kakashi: Sapphire, if you're sure that there's nothing wrong then I want you in, too. I need your strategics.
Sapphire: Okay.
Itachi: It's about time for you to come with me . . . Naruto.
Naruto: Rrr!
Sapphire: . . .
Sakura: Don't get distracted Naruto!!
Kakashi: I'll go! You stay back!!
Kakashi runs up to punch Itachi, but he blocks it with a shadow doppleganger, and runs to the right. Naruto runs up to Itachi with a ball of chakra in hand and smashes it into Itachi's chest.
Sapphire: Naruto!!
Sakura: It's a . . . !!
Suddenly, Itachi turns into smoke. Naruto looks around, and sees his teammates on the ground.
Naruto: S-Sak . . . Sakura . ..
They all turn into Itachi.
Sapphire: Oh no!
Sapphire grabs three kunai, attachesone paper bomb to each one, and smacks them on a tree until they bend. She runs up behind Itachi, and throws the kunai at him. He turns around to see the kunai, so he easily dodges them, and a punch from Sapphire. Sapphire turns into smoke.
Itachi: Heh.
He turns around to see Sapphire in front of him, but he punches her before she can punch him. She turns into smoke again. When the smoke clears, Itachi sees bent kunai, almost like boomerangs flying right at him. Before he can move, Sapphire appears behind him, and kicks him up in the air, right towards the explosive kunai. The kunai collides into his face, and explodes.
Sapphire: *huff* huff* huff* what?!
The smoke clears, and Itachi is completely gone.
Sapphire: D*MN IT!!
Sapphire turns around to see Itachi in the air behind her. He kicks her in the face, and her neck becomes stuck to the right.
Sakura: Ah! SAPPHIRE!!!
Itachi punches Sapphire in the stomach, and she rams into a tree. She sees Sakura running toward her, and then passes out.
