Minami: Itachi-sensei, here comes the lovebirds cutting classes and went on a date.

Both Sarada and Ibuki replied in chorus: NOOOOO!

Sarada: I am sorry sensei. I have no control over the dragon. It flew to far places I am not familiar with. I insisted we go back immediately but he --

Ibuki didn't say anything to apologize and just sat on the ground thinking, Sarada is lying. Blaming my dragon for being late. Didn't she just enjoyed her ride and was smiling like she didn't care of the time at all. Traitor!

Kugutsu played one of his puppet and captured Sarada easily and she was imprisoned inside his puppet.

Kugutsu: See I told you all she's lame. She was knocked down by Ibuki in three seconds and I captured her no sweat. Once captured, she can never leave. No one had ever escaped from my puppet.

Ume: How the hell did she got into level 5?

Minami: Yeah, I wasn't surprised she losed against Ibuki but I never thought she'd lose to a loser like you Kugutsu.

Kugutsu: Minami, don't mock me. You are the loser in our bet here. Just pay me 50 bucks.

Before Kugutsu could say another word, his puppet burned.

Taiyo: Opened her up Kugutsu. She'll be burned inside.

Kugutsu: Why the f**k would she burn herself too?

Kugutsu unwillingly opened his burning puppet but to their surprise, no one's inside it.

Sarada: Are you looking for me?

Kugutsu heard her whisper from behind him. As he turned around it was his puppet capturing him. He was imprisoned inside it. He was nagging and shouting from within.

Kugutsu: Ok I lose. Sarada, let me out of here!

Ume: Sarada's not here brother. I'm sorry but the only way for me to rescue you is destroy this puppet.

Ume concentrated his chakra on his fingers and with his monstrous strength he ripped opened the puppet, breaking it apart.

Kugutsu: Thanks bro. Where's Sarada?

The burning puppet transformed into Sarada who had burned her skin and slowly put the fire off. Everyone was shocked to see her.

Taiyo: You transformed yourself into his puppet so he'd be deceived and leaving his guard down you captured him using his own puppet. That was amazing Sarada!

Ibuki: Tsk! But it was stupid to burn yourself too.

Sarada healed herself using the byakugou.

Sarada: It's nothing. Don't worry.

Ibuki: I'm not worried!
What made her think I am worried about her?

Everyone was amazed by how fast she has healed and her skin was back to normal.

Itachi: That was great Sarada.

He pats her head and Sarada was taken aback by his gesture. She blushed at the thought of getting an affirmation from Itachi. She felt as happy as when her dad Sasuke would say "that's my girl."

Itachi: Well you just missed the two-hour activity we did earlier. Your classmates tested the limits of their abilities through a sparring match. Since only the two of you were not here. You'll have to do the spar.

Sarada: Yes sir.
I won't get knocked down this time. But I can't show my sharingan to Itachi or he'll know I am an Uchiha. I can't take the risk of blowing my cover this early.

As usual Ibuki didn't say anything and just draw a blank expression. She's no match for me.

Minami: But we already know she's no match for Ibuki.

Itachi: I didn't see that Minami. It was possible Sarada was only caught off guard.
I want to see what you're capable of Sarada. How come Kakume put you at level 5.

Kugutsu: Let's do that later sensei. Please satisfy my curiosity first. Sensei, which of the rumors is true about Sarada? Is she you adopted child or your lost daughter?

Taiyo: It's their business Kugutsu.

Ume: But I am curious too sensei. I remember when I was five you promised to answer all questions I asked.

Itachi laughed at the twins whom he is so fond of. Kugutsu and Ume grew up with the Akatsuki and he was one of whom they considered their father.

Itachi: Hahahaha... looks like the twins are coupling again to mess with me. You have never really grown up.

Sarada saw how those two are closed to Itachi. It's bad news for me. I can't surely get them to help me.

She stood in front of them all and made a friendly smile.

Sarada: Hi again. You already know my name, Sarada. I am an orphan. My parents were police officers who were killed by terrorists.

Ibuki looked at her with disdain. She's lying. It's a lie. I have the ability to detect which of the things people say is a lie or truth. I am a human lie-detector Sarada. Hmpt, I got you lying just now.

Minami: Oh that's so sad.

Kugutsu: It's not necessarily sad Minami. Ume and I are orphans too. But we got all the Akatsuki members as our dads and your mom as our mom. So it was still fun.

Ume: Ok fine. I will tell you my name. I am Ume. I will be kinder to you from now on since we're both orphans.

Taiyo: Kinder? I haven't even seen you being kind to any girl. You always see them as your enemy.

Minami: Well that's because Ume see them as potential threat to his crown.. As beauty queen, remember?!

Everyone laughed as Ume walked like a model on a ramp except Ibuki who was flooded with thoughts on what Kakume told him about Sarada.

Ume: Sarada you're a bit pretty sis, but I am still prettier than you. If you remember that, then we are friends.

Sarada: I will. Yay, he's gay.

Itachi: So Sarada since this is your first day in school, why don't you say something more about yourself before we proceed with your sparring.

Kugutsu: That would be boring sensei. It would be fun if we get to ask her one question and she answers.

Itachi: Are you ok with that Sarada?

Sarada: Ok shoot.
I have to at least play along with them.

Ume: I am the prettiest here so I get to ask first. Do you have a boyfriend?

Sarada: Nope.

Kugutsu: Will you be my girl?

Itachi choked on his saliva and activated his sharingan. He felt like a jealous dad, being protective to his daughter.

But he calmed down when Sarada immediately jilted Kugutsu.

Sarada: NO!

Yikes, Taiyo is a flirt, Ibuki is a pervert, Ume is gay and this one is a playboy. One who instantly fall in and fall out of love for a girl.

Kugutsu: Why not? I'll protect you with my life.

Itachi: The rule is only one question Kugutsu. That's question no. 2

Taiyo thought, sensei is too protective with Sarada like his real daughter. But something is telling me she is dangerous. She doesn't need protection.

Minami: My turn to ask. What is your dream Sarada?

Sarada: What I have is not a dream. It is my reality, and that is to kill a certain someone.

Ibuki thought she's telling the truth! She's here to kill someone. But who?

Kugutsu: We are just having fun here Sarada. You are joking right?

Sarada: That's question no. 3 from you Kugutsu.

Taiyo: As long as you don't kill Itachi-sensei I am fine with that. Itachi-sensei is mine to kill.

Sarada was shocked with Taiyo's revelation. He must be joking. If he is to kill him why would he tell everyone. But he looked so serious to be joking.

Sarada: Are you serious?

Itachi: Yes Sarada. He is. Everyone in the academy knew he wants to kill me to avenge his dad, Naruto Uzumaki.

Ume: But it's not like he could. Taiyo had to kill me first to do that.

Sarada thought with bitter sarcasm, wow Itachi was just cool with it. He just belittle the bitter feelings of the family of those he murdered. I understand more, why dad is angry with him. He is a callous monster! He must be so confident Taiyo can't make it. And he's toying with him.

Ume: Don't be shocked Sarada. This is not some noble Konoha or other village ninja academy. This is the Akatsuki academy, the academy built by rouge ninjas. Everyone here have murderous thoughts. We basically knew who wants to kill who. Except for Ibuki who's just here to play and haven't really decided yet who his target is.

Taiyo: But we respect each other by staying away from the prey of one. So tell me, you are not meaning to kill Itachi right? Are you?

Sarada: Of course not.

Ibuki: It's a lie. She's lying just now. She's lying while smiling like she means it. She's killing Itachi. So that's why Kakume-sensei said she'll destroy the academy. She will kill it's founder Itachi. But why? why is she killing the man who adopted her? She's on to destroy this academy. Such arrogance! Let's see then how you destroy my playground.

Kugutsu: Congratulations Taiyo. Looks like you still got your prey for yourself.

Everyone laughed except Ibuki.

Itachi: Hey, Ibuki. It's your turn to ask. Why are you so quiet and serious?

Ume: Maybe Ibuki is still thinking about their date earlier. Aren't you Ibuki?

Ibuki was so engrossed with his thoughts. Why should I care? Taiyo is also killing Itachi. But he is open about it, therefore he is not a threat at all. This Sarada, is like a silent water which runs deep. And she's a liar. She's lying while she smiles.

(Memories of his childhood flashed on his mind. )
.
.
His memory with his mom

Ibuki: Mom, don't leave me in this white room please.

Mom: Don't worry. I will be back in no time baby.

He saw her mom smiling sweetly and left without coming back. she never came back until now. She lied to me.
.
.
His memory with his dad
.
.
Ibuki: Dad I am hurting from all the injections.

His dad smiled reassuringly and pats his head.

Dad: It's ok son. It's medicine. It's needed for you to heal faster. It will end soon. Stay here and I gotta go ask your doctor.

Ibuki followed him secretly and heard him talking to his doctor.

Dad: Are you sure this will work Orochimaru?

Orochimaru: Don't be impatient Kemono. You'll get your dreams come true.. Your son will be your best weapon after this. He will be the best of all.

It's not to heal me, it's to make me a weapon. He lied to me.
.
.
His memory with his girl playmate when he was five
.
.
Ibuki: When will you be back to play with me again?

Playmate: I will come back here tomorrow. I promise to bring you the latest trending toy from the outside.

Ibuki: Are you sure?

Playmate: Yes. Of course. I can't miss my favorite friend. You see I already like you even if we just met today.

Ibuki: And you are my only friend. It's my first time to have fun and play.

Playmate: Awww.. don't be sad. Remember I like you. Byebye.

She smiled innocently and waved her hands goodbye. She left her ribbon so he followed her outside to return her ribbon. But he heard her saying to a man with hairstyle like a duckbutt.

Playmate: Dad, I am never coming back here. I don't like this place. I hate everyone here.

He knelt down crying. She just lied to me.
.
.

(Back to present)
.
.

Lies.. lies...lies.. all are liars!

I hate liars.

I will give judgment to all liars and let them taste what hell is.
.
.

Kugutsu shook him and he was sobered up. He stood in front of Sarada. But this time his curse marks emerged on his forehead.

Minami: Oh no. Ibuki's fired up.

Taiyo: It's bad news.

Ume: If he's like that everything he says he does.

Ibuki: Sarada, Are you prepared to die today?

Ume: Oh my. Looks like Ibuki has marked his target.
