POV: Sasuke Uchiha

"This is Nagato!" Sakura said with a smile. "He's Narutos other cousin. And these are Konan and Yahiko -Nagato's best friends."

"How are they supposed to help..?" I said grudgingly. 

"Geez... How couldn't I have seen that your so bitter?" She said to herself. "Nagato knows Naruto. They used to always hang out together when they were younger; and are quite fond of each other, right Nagato?" 

She turned to look at a male with red hair, like Karin's. His face was as pale as sand, and he had purple like eyes -his hair covering the left side of his face.

"Yes. Naruto and I are like brothers in a way, but it has been long since I've seen him. You are Sasuke Uchiha?" Nagato said, looking at me.

"Yes. That is me." I said stiffly

"You are his lover?"

"Yes! Sasuke is Naruto's lover! Can we please get going on with the plan?" Sakura said lightly with a hint of annoyance in her tone. "We don't have all day he'll be here soon."

"What?!" I shouted. "Sakura. What did you do exactly?" I growled.

"Calm down." She said as she rolled her eyes. "You know how I ran after Naruto?" She asked.

"Yeah?"

POV: Sakura Haruno **an hour before when Naruto ran away**

"Naruto!" I shouted breathlessly. "Wait! Come back!" I stopped to catch my breath. Ugh, Naruto can really run... 

"Sakura?" I heard a voice say from behind me. I turned around to see Shikamaru. 

"Shikamaru! You can help me!" I said turning my head to see where Naruto was headed to. "Your Naruto's best friend right?"

"I guess. Why?" He said tiredly.

"Can you talk to him?"

"About?"

"I know your not stupid enough to not notice Naruto and Sasuke..."

"Oh. What's there to talk about?"

"Because of Karin-"

"Naruto's cousin?"

"YES. Don't interrupt me." I glared. He rolled his eyes but let me talk. "Karin told the school, not Sasuke."

"Seriously?" His eyes widened.

I nodded. "Karin liked Sasuke. She didn't take Naruto being with him lightly... You need to convince Naruto to forgive Sasuke. Naruto hates Sasuke for wanting him again..."

"I'll try, but don't put all your trust on me." He sighed. "Where?" 

I pointed to a classroom at the very end of the hall. "I'm pretty sure it's class 309." I said with a nod. He nodded back and and left.

POV: Sasuke Uchiha **Present**

"And then I went to get Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko." Sakura explain with a shrug. 

"And you think Shikamaru -of all people- can convince Naruto?" I asked doubtfully.

"Shikamaru see's things in a different point of view. He's a strategic thinker... Like a military general in a way. He knows Naruto -which makes it better. He's able to know how the regular human mind works."

"What do you mean by 'regular human mind'?"

"Being the school helper, I have files on everyone. And from what I've read from Shikamaru's file, he has an IQ higher than 200."
