Strategy

"W-wait, what?" I stuttered in shock. Did I hear him right? Am I really engaged? Am I really transferring to America? "You're engaged, Sasuke. And you'll be transferring to America as soon as possible." Father said. So it's true then. I didn't misheard it. "No. I'm not doing it." I say firmly. My grip on my phone became tighter. "This will do good for the company! And this will do good for you." "I don't fucking care! I'm not going to some shitty country to marry some other shitty girl! You can't fucking control my life!" I yell. "Watch your language, Sasuke. Or did you forget who you're talking to?" Fafter hissed. "As I was saying, this girl is filthy rich. Ever since the incident with Orochimaru we lost 10 hundred thousand. If you marry her then we will regain our money!" Father said. "Why don't you just do it to Itachi?" I asked, still angry. "He's already engaged with someone else. Sasuke, you have to, it's for the company!" "Bullshit! You treat me as if it's some tool! I'm your fucking son! Don't you not care about me?!" I yelled. The boys looked at me. They all looked concerned. "Sasuke! I demand you to shut up! You don't have a say in this! Yes, you're my son, but don't forget that what we're dealing with right now is serious!" Father yelled. I took a deep breath and composed myself. "We can lose the company!" Father said again. I had enough with the company. "It's always about the company. It always about money. You never cared about us, didn't you?" I asked in a whisper. My heart was beating hard and aching. Sadness was taking over my body. "Sasuke—" "The company is all what you care about, not mother, Itachi, or I. You even went as far as selling my life." I say. "You weren't there for me in my child hood. I get that. You're a busy man. But engaging me to someone I don't know? That's low. I don't even want to call you my father." I say and hang up. I gripped the phone in my hand and breathed heavily. Tears threatened to fall down form my eyes but I knew there were people in front of me. "What's going on, Teme?" Naruto asked. "I'm.......engaged. My father wants me to transfer to America..."I say quietly. But I knew they heard. "What the hell...that's a load of crap." Shikamaru said. "What about Sakura?" Neji asked. "I don't know...." I say. I really didn't know. "She'll be heartbroken." Shikamaru pointed out. "I'm fully aware of that.."I hissed. "You know, you're not the only one transferring somewhere else without their permission." Neji said. "Wait you don't mean..." I trailed off. "I'm going to France. I won't be coming back in 3 years. Father didn't give me a choice." The Hyuga said. "Then you'll have to leave Tenten behind..." Naruto muttered out. "Did you tell her?" I asked. "Not yet. I was going to today....I really don't want to though." He says. "So it's just the two of you?" Shikamaru asked. "Well, I have to take over my fathers company too. I am the only Uzumaki left." Naruto says and shrugs. "What exactly is your fathers business?" I asked. Naruto had a sad, gloomy aura around him. "He used to be a teacher. Actually, he taught Kakashi-sensei once. Then he expanded his business and he joined in with another company. He became the Principal and the school grounds that we are standing on right now, is going to be mine one day." Naruto said. "W-what?!" We yelled. "Yeah....I wanted to be a famous cook, -ttebayo!" Naruto whined. But we all knew deep inside he really wanted to be a principal. "What about you Shikamaru?" I asked. "Troublesome...my father hadn't explained it. But I know that we own a military group somewhere. My old man used to be a strategist. But he quit a long time ago." Shikamaru said with a yawn. "...wait but you're getting engaged right? So how are you going to tell Sakura?" Naruto asked. "I. Don't. Know!" I hissed again. All this thinking and sudden news was making my head ache. "I know! We can help you!" Naruto said. "We are? Ugh.....sounds too troublesome..." Shikamaru said. "How?" Neji asked. "What if we show your dad how much you love Sakura? He practically likes her too, right? And Sakura is the only heir to her family business, the Haruno company! So then if he knows he might consider in stopping your engagement!" Naruto said. "That.....was the most smartest thing you've ever said..." I say. "Hey! Was that a compliment or an insult?!" The blonde yelled. "Both." All of us said and smiled.

I really hope this will work...
