Plot #8
Pairing: Sakura Haruno x Itachi Uchiha (Naruto)
Plot: After Sasuke killed Orochimaru, he went off in search of his brother in order to kill him. However, Itachi did not think that Sasuke was ready to fight him and so he did not allow his younger brother to find him. Years have passed and the Akatsuki are no longer a threat. All have been eliminated but one. Itachi knows his time is running short and he is in no state to fight Sasuke who is now ready to face him. He knows that he needs to get a top medic. Tsunade would be the first choice, but she is the Hokage and he knows that she would not help him willingly. Instead, he looks at another medic: one Sakura Haruno. She is known for being the second best medic in the leaf nation, if not the world, second only to Tsunade, Godaime of the Leaf. So, Itachi begins to plan a way to lure the pink haired kunoichi out of her village to heal his eyes and condition.
Notes: This rp is mostly canon with a little AU twist. However, some events didn't happen. For one, Itachi did not feel that Sasuke was ready to fight him and so he went into hiding to prevent his younger brother from finding him. Sasuke is still hell-bent on revenge and does not know the truth of the Uchiha Massacre. He is still a missing-nin and has no intention of returning home. Sakura is now head of the hospital and a jounin. She has obtained the Yin seal and is quite formidable in both healing and combat. Naruto has been chosen to be Tsunade's successor but he still has a lot to learn and wants to get Sasuke back before he takes up the mantle of Hokage. Team 7 is still wanting to find Sasuke and bring him home. Basically, Itachi is going to put a fake mission request to the Leaf that specifically asks for Sakura for a healing job. The leaf is pressed for money so they don't really look too much into the mission and Sakura is sent off.
When Sakura reaches her destination and realizes that she was set up, she is attacked by none other than Itachi who kidnaps her. We will then continue the story from there, telling the story of her capture and how she slowly warms up to him and finds out the truth behind the Uchiha massacre. I would like to have Sakura fall in love with him and vice versa and for Itachi to tell her the story of why he really massacred the Uchiha clan. The basic end game would be for Sasuke to never kill his brother, learn the truth, and both ninja return to the leaf. Of course, I would be down for still continuing the rp and playing out life as returned ninjas for Sasuke and Itachi with Sakura there to support them. I would prefer to play Sakura, but I can definitely play Itachi as well, I think. I also don't mind playing Sasuke, but I would like if he also had feelings for Sakura in his own way and wants to make her his wife. Yes, I want a cliche love triangle between Sakura and the two brothers where Sakura inevitably chooses Itachi over Sasuke. Also, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura are all eighteen. Itachi is twenty-three.
