Nejisasu continued #3: chasing Uhiha Itachi

Sasuke just stared at the screen of the camera, not believing what he saw. He knew now that their secret would be known by the whole village with Itachi flashing the pictures around everywhere. He knew that people would go against them and that few wouldn't care.

Sasuke looked to Neji with determination. "We need to find Itachi and fast!" Neji nodded and together, they stood up and ran out of the house. They split up at the edge of the front garden, planning on combing through the village the best they could.

Sasuke walked through one street of the village. He passed by the usual people of the village, some children mucking around too. He headed towards the closest place that Itachi could get a film developed.

He walked inside the shop, looked around briefly before going to the counter where a rather hideous woman stood, wearing too much make-up and obviouly trying her best to look younger.

"Excuse me?" Sasuke asked. The woman turned to him. " Have you seen my brother, Uchiha Itachi?"

"Uchiha Itachi? A well know gentleman he is. I saw him a couple of days ago, going into the ramen shop with Deidara, Hidan and Kisame." She replied.

"Have you seen him today, in this shop at all?"

"Now, what would a fella like yourself be asking that for? It doesn't matter and no he hasn't been here today."

"Thankyou." Sasuke ran from the shop, heading for the next shop. There were more than ten places to get pictures developed, it seemed like a good trade in the village. While Neji searched the streets, it was Sasuke's job to ask through the shops.

He went throughout the village, asking in shops and asking people on the street a couple of times. It wasn't until he got to the fourth shop that developed film that he heard something interesting.

"Yeah he came here. That Itachi guy. I always hated that kid, but well, it's buisness. He came and developed a film and left with a couple of his mischivous friends. They were laughing their heads off at somethin', don't know what. They're up to no good if ye' ask me." Said the man behind the counter.

"Do you know where they were going?" Sasuke asked desperately.

"I'm no' too sure butthey were arguing abou' where to go eat at the ramen shop or go and get dango. I think they decided on ramen."

"How long ago was this?" Sasuke pushed.

"About, five minutes or so. Why are you intent on... hey!" Sasuke ran from the shop, intent on getting those pictures beck from Itachi.

As he ran towards the ramen shop, Sasuke ran past Neji. "Sasuke!" Neji called. Sasuke stopped and ran back to him. "Have you heard anything?" Neji asked.

"He's at the ramen shop with some of his friends. We have to hurry!" Sasuke pulled Neji to follow him and they started to run towards the Ramen shop.
