Uchiha Saori - Itachi Love Story

Chapter 23

Saori P.O.V

I was watching them still there next to Lee and Gai.
The medic approached Gai.

- It's difficult to have to say something like this but...the state of his body...he will never be able to live as a shinobi again. - the medic said.

I widened my eyes....what?!....that can't be...

- N-No way...it must be some kind of lie. - Naruto said shocked.

- Lee-san.... - Sakura said sad.

- If that's so...THEN WHAT'S THICKBROWS SUPPOSED TO DO?! - Naruto said trying go towards the medics but Kakashi stopped him.

- Stop Naruto. - Kakashi said.

- NO!!! - Naruto said and got out of Kakashi's grip.

.......Naruto....

- HE WAS ALWAYS SAYING HOW HE WANTED TO FIGHT AGAINST SASUKE AND THAT NEJI GUY...CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?! HEYYY! - Naruto said going towards them.

I went there and pulled him into a hug.

- That's enough Naruto. - I said calmly and sad.

- No....i-it's not fair. - Naruto said.

- I know Naruto...I know. - I said hugging him tight.

He did the same.
I crouched down at his level...he was fighting back tears.

- Naruto...go back upstairs, okay? - I said calmly.

He looked the other way and nodded. He went to the upper level.
I looked where Gaara was...no remorse.....he doesn't show any regret at all....

- Saori, control yourself. - Kakashi said coming to my side.

- Believe me when I tell you...I am. Besides I'm not mad at Gaara. - I said.

- Then who? - he asked.

- I'm mad at the people who made him like this. - I said serious.

Kakashi put his hand on my shoulder...I sighed.

- Let's go to the upper level. - I said.

He nodded and we went to the upper level.
It was now Choji's turn to fight against the Sound ninja.

*Moving on to the End of the Match*

I sweatdropped, poor Choji.

- Oh well, he lost but I guess I'll at least take him to eat some steaks. - Asuma said.

- Well, with this the preliminary trials for the round 3 test...has been completed! Contests who pass please come here. - Hayate said.

......finally...

- To all of you who won the rights to compete in the 3rd round test in the chunnin exam *cough* *cough* one is missing but...congratulations to all of you! - Hayate said.

............Sasuke....I sighed, what am I going to do with you?

- Sensei. - Sakura said.

Me and Kakashi looked at her.

- Is Sasuke-kun - she started and I put my hand on her shoulder.

- Sasuke is not weak Sakura. Let's wait and see what he'll do, besides me and Kakashi are going to help him. - I said.

She nodded with a small smile......it's better for you not know many details.

- Saori, could you listen the instructions? I have to leave for a bit. - Kakashi said.
