Enjoy my readers! Big things planned next chapter sorry for the shorty today but I promise we're back to long ones tommorow

When Kabuto left Sakura proceeded to immensely bother Itachi, following him into the kitchen with a screech. After teaching her ABC's Sakura wanted to share her immense find with her uncles. Itachi fumed. It was as if she knew he was bothered by her closeness.

The pink haired child screamed at the top of her lungs. "AAAAAAAA." She sang loudly. Sakura screeched at Itachi's side. Sasori smirked as Itachi tried to leave the room, she blocked the door with a huge sweep of her arms. Itachi sighed.

"There's nothing here-!"

"BEEEEEEEEE!" Sakura screeched wildly. Itachi turned around to fix her with a stern glare, thoroughly unamused.

"Sakura. I think you need to be quiet." He hissed at her. The dark haired Uchiha ran a hand through his long black hair. He hadn't been around a child in so long. Sasuke has never been this clingy or annoying. Sakura was whispering now. "C!"

Sakura chased Itachi into the living room, Sasori finally jutsu we away his suit, making Sakura scream a squeal of happiness. She ran to Sasori's arms and hugged him round the middle of his knees. Itachi sat down, her willingness to get close to him made him annoyed and both confused.

"We leave at sunset. She needs a nap before hand but I can't find anything edible for her to drink or eat." Itachi sighed. He threw a hand through his hair and resisted the urge to rub his temples.

Sakura was squealing Sasori's ears off. "DADDY DADDY DADDY-!"

"I'm afraid I used the few chamomile bags we had to ease her." Sasori sighed, rubbing a hand though his red head sheepishly with a small smile. Sakura didn't bother him as much as Itachi. Sasori wasn't as bothered to the loudness for having a partner like Deidara. As much as it annoyed him, he couldn't blame Sakura for her behavior. She simply didn't know better.

Sakura yawned loudly but squaked in fear when Itachi pounced on her. Covering her body in a blanket Sasori and him quickly covered her in front of the couch. She was distracted by the warmth of the fire but held tightly onto both of their hands. Itachi tried to withdrawal from her grip, but was forced to stay as Sasori withdrew his chakra strings.

"We can distract her with a tale." Sasori suggested. Itachi nodded, with a slight flick of Sasori's fingers a wave of puppets appeared. Itachi's eyes widened at the clear identities. Sasori had created fake wooden puppets, but beautiful creations of Kawaii versions of the Akatsuki. Each doll had tiny hair wigs and googly eyes similar to the actual members and had their own Akatsuki cloaks. Itachi inwardly groaned.

Sakura was definitely ruining the life he had known to life.

It was at that moment that Deidara had wondered downstairs. He hadn't sensed Kabuto so he figured that the tutor ninja was gone. When Deidara enter the living room he dove over the couch to lay behind Sakura, cuddling her to his chest as she giggled in contentment.

"Master Sasori, is that me?!" Deidara squealed. Itachi tried his hardest not to throttle the ninja. Deidara studied the tiny doll family. They were small enough to fit in his hand, and Deidara warmed as he realized that they were all for the young girl in his hands.

Sakura watched the show as Itachi narrated half heartedly. Sasori's fingers glowed bright blue as chakra string flew wildly with so little effort. Twelve puppets responded eagerly to Itachi's small but strong murmurs. All three male ninja entertained the young child on the couch. Deidara listened to the story with rapt attention. He immensely enjoyed the look on his Master's usually cold face. A warm, lazy smile rested as with one hand Sasori rested his cool hand on Sakura's face.

She fell asleep to the the sound of a warm hum, the warm hug of Deidara's grasp, and the smooth firm hand of her father on her face.

Back in Konoha

Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs. "WHAT?!" The furiously angered boy screamed. Back in the village, his busty Hokage was visibly depressed. Her assistant Shizune lay one hand on the Hokage's shoulder. Lady Tsunade sighed and ducked her head.

"You heard me Naruto. We cannot send you out to find her." She sighed. Why couldn't Naruto ever understand that I'm trying to protect him? Naruto glowered angrily.

"Granny Tsunade! I need to find Sakura-Chan. I need to!" He glowered at her fiercely. "She's all out there alone!"

Lady Tsunade held in a deep breath of guilt. "Naruto. We recently received news that you are a probable target of the Akatsuki. They have plans involving the jinchūriki of the nations." Tsunade glared at the boy. Naruto sighed exhausted. They needed permission to chase Sakura's scent across the fire nation.

"She's your student!" Naruto scowled angrily. Once again he would be forced to go home. Every day they wasted something could be happening to Sakura. Naruto just wanted to find her. "This is Sasuke all over again." Naruto growled.

Lady Tsunade sighed. "Naruto please. We have no idea where Sakura is, nor what has happened to her. We are awaiting the rumors that are sure to fly in." Lady Tsunade wasn't giving up on her prized student just yet. There was information gathering teams placed all over the villages of the fire nation. If Sakura was spotted in just one, Lady Tsunade was confident that the girl could be found.

"Your just waiting for her body." Naruto was furious. Sakura-Chan please stay safe. Naruto was ripe with worry for the girl. It had been days since she had been seen last at the party. Shizune frowned upon Naruto. "Please Naruto we want Sakura back safe and sound too. Rushing into the night won't do anything for her." The Hokage was working on approval from the council to put together a team to find Sakura. She didn't understand how just one little party could fly out of hand so bad. One second she had been drinking Sake in her office and thinking of her old teamate, and the next her door was severely beaten down by an angry Naruto.

Naruto stormed out of the office before the Hokage could reprimand him any more. She could send Anbu after him for all he cared. He would be back tomorrow.

Naruto was confronted outside the the Hokage's office by Kiba. The dog ninja was staring at him in worry. "So no luck Naruto?" Kiba asked, scratching the back of his head in worry.

Naruto shook his head and slumped his shoulders heavily. Naruto was right in worrying. It would take over a year before any hint of Sakura was found.
