Somehow, he hadn't expected Sakura's name to turn up in the journal. Given who else from his world was also here, he likely should have: there was clearly neither rhyme nor reason as to who was pulled from where and when, though if Davy Jones was trying to pick people out for power, he was certainly raking through Sasuke's world thoroughly.

His frame was tense as he stalked through Empieza toward the fountain to meet Sakura, ignoring the way the locals still gave him apprehensive looks and surreptitiously left a space around him even in the marketplace.

Naruto first grunts at Sasuke's ultimatum. Really, he was grim back when they were twelve, but he's shooting for a world-record or something nowadays. Oh well, he didn't expect rainbows and such to radiate from Sasuke's body. They'll just have to work on softening him up a tiny bit more. At least learn to relax a little, Sasuke, instead of acting like you've got something up your ass.

The blond watches as Sasuke walks off before turning to look at Sakura. Even the dense one of Team 7 understood that Sasuke didn't want to mention anything in front of their female teammate. Of course, Naruto doesn't plan on mentioning anything in front of Sasuke either. He's got too much respect for Itachi to go mouthing off about things to anybody at all. He did vow, after all, to keep it under wraps.

Besides, it's all in the past. Living in the past causes so many problems. People just need to learn to push forward and forget those things they can't change.

He finally grins at Sakura. "I missed him," and then turns to walk towards the boat, hands locking easily behind his head as he whistles cheerfully.

Sakura feels the hairs on the back of her neck stand up with Sasuke's 'not now' and pointed look at her. Angry shock rakes through her and makes blood boil. She's about to go on a rampage, reminding them all that they're a team and teams work together and why the hell is she left out, she outranks both of you assholes. She's seething as she watches Sasuke walk off, fists clenched and ready to attack any bystanders.

Luckily, Naruto knows exactly what to say to cool off her temper at that time.

Naruto's carefree grin and admittance does the trick, if not catches her by surprised enough that she forgets why she was mad in the first place. She blinks away the red rimming her vision and gives him a slow, small smile back.

"Me too."

When she turns to follow the two of them on the boat, she reminds herself of the oath she made and her eyes narrow.

She wouldn't be left behind by those two again. She was going to find out the truth about Itachi.
