Sure thing Temari-chan that sounds like fun," Naruto said with a smile as he turned to leave. "Goodnight, Temari-chan"
"Goodnight, Naruto." Temari said with a smile.
But before Naruto hopped off the roof he flashed through a few hand signs. Temari watched as a small cloud of smoke appeared in Naruto's hand. When the smoke cleared Temari saw a beautiful flower.
"Your beauty rivals this desert rose, Temari-chan." Naruto said as he handed Temari the beautiful flower.
Temari took the flower and clasped it over her rapidly beating heart. Feeling daring again, Naruto leaned forward and kissed Temari's cheek before he quickly jumped off the roof. The Suna kunoichi reached a hand up and touched the cheek Naruto had kissed. A blush spread across her face as she remembered Naruto's lips on her face.
Temari turned to look back at the sky as new thoughts raced through her mind. While she was staring into the sky, Temari failed to notice a figure standing on a nearby rooftop.
Tenten quickly hopped of the building's roof with a smirk on her face.
"You are not laying a finger on my man until I've had my payback." Tenten said to herself as she thought of ways to get her revenge.
(Same Time in Konoha)
Karin was walking back to her apartment after a grueling day of training under Tsunade and Shizune. It was a particularly cold night as she walked the empty village streets, she hugged herself as a chilly wind made shivers shoot through her body.
"Dammit I hate this time of year." Karin muttered as she rounded a corner.
But Karin stopped in her tracks when she heard a voice behind her.
"What's a pretty little thing like you doing out this late alone?"
Karin turned around to see a sleazy looking man dressed in chunnin attire leering at her.
"What the hell do you want?" Karin spat out as she took a step back.
"Ooo you're a feisty one, I like that," The man said as he took a step forward. "Now why don't you come with me, and we can have some fun."
Karin turned to run, but the man reached out and grabbed her red hair.
"Where do you think you're going?" The man said as he yanked Karin close.
"Someone HELP!" Karin tried to scream more, but the man clasped a hand over her mouth.
"Hey no need to wake everyone up," he said with a sleazy grin. "Now why don't you stop fighting."
Karin chose this moment to sink her teeth into the man's hand, tearing out a chunk of flesh.
"AHH! YOU BITCH!" The man yelled as he clutched his bleeding hand. "I was just gonna have some fun with you. But now it looks like I'm gonna have to rough you up a little." The man then pulled out a kunai and charged Karin.
Karin spit out the chunk of flesh, and took a defensive stance, as she prepared for the charging man. But when the man was just a few feet away he grunted and fell over unconscious. Karin's eyes widened when she saw a new figure standing over her wannabe rapist. The new figure's chakra was cool, collected, and very soothing, and it instantly relaxed her. The man had dark hair, and was wearing a jonin vest but it was blue instead of green. He also had a Konoha headband around his head, and sword strapped to his back.
"Are you alright?" The dark haired man asked.
"Y-Yeah I'm fine, but w-who are you?" Karin asked slightly shaken.
"I'm Itachi Uchiha, and I'm a Konoha police officer." The newly named Itachi said with a small smile.
"Wait you're Itachi, I thought Sasuke killed you!" Karin said as she pointed at Itachi.
"You knew Sasuke?"
"Yeah I was apart of his team when he was hunting you down, and when he wanted to destroy this village," Karin said the last part softly as she looked towards the ground. "But answer my question, how are you alive?"
"Oh that's simple, Naruto-kun brought me back to life." Itachi said making Karin's red eyes widen.
"Naruto brought you back," Karin said as she turned her gaze back to Itachi. "Well if he brought you back then he must have had a good reason, I trust him completely."
Itachi nodded and turned to look down the road.
"Obito hurry up will you!" Itachi yelled just as Obito rounded the corner panting.
"Man Itachi you need to slow down," Obito panted out as he rested his hands on his knees. "You gotta remember I don't have access to my chakra, so I can't use it to enhance my speed."
"I'll try to remember that next time, but right now I need you to take this man to Hokage-sama," Itachi said as he picked the criminal up and handed him to Obito who slung the man over his shoulder. "I'll be at the tower momentarily."
"Yeah whatever." Obito grumbled out as he carried the criminal towards the tower.
Itachi turned around to see Karin staring at him with her mouth agape.
"W-Was that who I thought it was?" Karin stuttered out as she watched Obito round the corner.
"Uh I'll explain it later, but he's on our side."
"It was Naruto again wasn't it?" Karin asked earning a nod from Itachi, which made her pinch the bridge of her nose. "Kami he can be such a baka sometimes, but he must have his reasons." Karin said as she wrapped her arms around herself.
Itachi frowned when he saw Karin shiver.
"Uh I could escort you home if you'd like."
Karin looked at Itachi for a moment before she nodded. As they walked Karin found Itachi's chakra very enticing, and she found herself walking closer and closer to him. After ten minutes they had arrived outside her apartment.
"Thank you for walking me home." Karin said with a small blush across her face.
"It was my pleasure miss...uh...I'm sorry I didn't catch your name." Itachi said with an embarrassed smile.
"Oh! My name is Karin," The red head replied in a cheery tone. "Karin Uzumaki."
"So you're an Uzumaki as well?"
"Yep!" Karin said in a happy tone.
"Well it was nice meeting you Karin, but I must get to the tower."
