"Haruno-chan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have dragged you in the mess as Sasuke said, but it doesn't mean I meant to cause any harm or trouble for you." the first thing Orochimaru spoke when they entered.

"Uh." Sakura was boggled at his sudden statement, "Eh, it's okay. I mean you must be having your reasons so-"

"Oh, yes I surely do." Orochimaru broke her sentence as he continued, "And that's the reason why I wanted to talk to you alone."

"Well, what is it?" Sakura asked.

"Hmm, how to begin this, I guess let's just skip to the main part. So the thing is, as I said earlier I have given every information about the Akatsuki in the file except one thing."

"And? That thing is?" Sakura was curious to know what he felt like skipping from that important document.

"It's about one of the members of the Akatsuki if Sasuke were to know that, he would probably go on a rampage."

"W-what are you talking about?" Now she was scared.

"Yes, I know it is too much to handle for a bunch of high schoolers like you but..." looks like Orochimaru was having a hard time telling this. When was the last time he felt this nervous? Uh oh, something serious is about to come up!

"Orochimaru-san, we're almost graduated and adults too, so please don't hesitate," Sakura said something really promising.

"Okay then. The reason I want to stop and abolish Aktasuki is that one day Sasuke will go on a rampage."

"You keep saying that, but why would a cool-headed person like Sasuke-Kun ever go on a rampage?" Sakura frowned.

"As I said, there's at least one rogue member from each village in the Akatsuki, so is from Konoha. which is..."

"And who's from Konoha?" Sakura was almost terrified when she guessed who it would be.

"It's Itachi Uchiha." Orochimaru finally spoke and the words continuously replied in the pinkette's mind.

"W-what? Are you being serious right now? I mean y-you're talking about Itachi-San, Sasuke-Kun's big brother... are you sure you're not misunderstood? "Sakura panicked the hell out of her.

"I'm afraid I'm not. And as much as I hate to say it yes, it's the truth." Orochimaru crossed his hands as he finally let out a relieving sigh.

"It...couldn't....be."

Sakura still recovering from the shock she received. Even though she thinks of herself as a grown-up it was too much to handle, and now that she knows the true intentions of Orochimaru which was surprisingly pure, she now took an oath as if it is a kind of responsibility that she must carry out.

"Haruno-chan, I'm sorry for giving such sudden news, but we mustn't let this information reach Sasuke at any cost. Because if it does then..."

Silent filled the room, sakura suddenly lost in her thoughts as if she could imagine what would happen if Sasuke were to know that his beloved brother was anonymously working with the threatening organization.
