"Sasuke! Azamuku! Get inside. Now." Kakashi said as he ran outside with the other 2 following. "Kakashi. I'm not here to fight. I'm here for the girl." Itachi said. "Itachi. Leave, now. She's not going anywhere!" I demanded. "You know this guy, Sasuke?" Naruto asked, sounding angry. "Itachi Uchiha. My older brother. The one who laid waste to the rest of our clan." I said, grinding my teeth. 

I heard a shuffle to my right only to see Azamuku move. "Sasuke..." She began. "I'm afraid I haven't been completely honest." She said. "What?!" I asked. "The truth is finally revealed." Kakashi said. "There was a reason I was put on your team. For Naruto. My side mission dealt with you." She said. "It was required that I get put on the same team as the Kyuubi's jinchuriki. It was simply luck that you were placed with him."

"I'm confused." Sakura said. "She's a rogue." Kakashi clarified. Everyone nearly screamed. "Yes. While the story I told you was true, I did leave out a part." She added. I felt my heart shatter the more she spoke. "What are you talking about!?" Naruto said in outrage. "We killed her family off. I spared her. But what she left out was what the reason for the purge was and her being spared." Itachi said. 

"I'm so lost." Sakura confessed. Azamuku walked over to Itachi who reached from his jacket and handed her a rogue headband then draped a cloak over her shoulders. "You promised! Traitor!" I shouted at her. I immediately regretted my words as soon as she looked at me. Her eyes were full of sadness and regret as she locked onto me. She pulled her cloak around her tight and shifted slightly, a shining object falling to her feet without a sound. 

Her eyes flicked downward then back to me as Itachi gripped her shoulder. "Let's go, Muku." He said. "Leader is waiting for your return." He finished. "I'm sorry everyone... this is good bye. I expect to see you all soon if not for battle then for capture." She said. Itachi turned around, her following his movements before pushing off into the distance.
