Sorry it's been so long since I've updated but I've been sick for the last month.

I wanted to try something else don't worry I'm currently trying to remember where I was going with my other stories! You all know by now im SakuSasu fan but I love NaruSaku as well and this one is going to be a NaruSaku!

"Talking"

"Thinking"

"Inner/Kurama"

Her father was none other than Kizashi Haruno, the wealthiest man in Konoha. The only person who had more power than him was the 5th Hokage; said man was standing in her office right now.

"I need two of your strongest ninja's to protect Sakura; I fear there may be an attempt on her life." He said sternly.

"I wouldn't need to be protected if you had let me train to be one!" She yelled.

"No daughter of mine will become a ninja. You have no need to get your hands dirty my dear."

She looked away folding her arms; her hair was down to the middle of her back. She was wearing a simple black tank top and low rider jeans, wish a pair of chuck high tops. Her 19th birthday had just passed; she hated her father for never letting her become a ninja. She was strong, she could knock a wall down with the flick of a wrist but that's about all she knew. Her older brother had taught her a few things but he wasn't able to show her much.

"Takuya had been kept off missions to stay home and protect her has he not?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"I feel he might not be enough my lady, please help me protect my daughter, I fear that Takashi may have people on the outside, I know that man will do everything he can to harm my daughter just to get back at me. Also you know I can pay them well." He said,

"I have two in mind; I will send them to your house tomorrow morning." She said as she shooed them out of her office.

"Sasuke and Naruto aren't going to like this." She thought.

Sakura walked ahead of her father, he was on the phone for a business call. It didn't surprise her he never has time for her, it was business this and business that she hated it. His company was in the lead for the latest technology and newest ninja weapons; she understood why someone would come after her to get to her father especially Takashi, she never really knew what the man looked like but she could remember those two fighting and the treats he made against her life. She was younger then, her father would never let her near that man. She knew he was in prison, but why go through all that trouble just for her? He train of thought was broken when her father spoke.

"Sakura I have to go to the office, will you be alright walking home from here?" Her father asked.

"Yeah, it's only a block away dad I can take care of myself!" She walked away angry.

Hmph. She wasn't weak she could walk a block alone! Ugh why do they treat her like she some breakable piece of glass, she knew how to protect herself thanks to Takuya!

"Damn right, SHANNARO!" Inner Sakura yelled raising her fist.

Sakura sighed and kept walking down the street, she decided she would take a trip to town. She wanted to shop a little; nothing makes a girl feel better than shopping right? She was walking through looking at all the ninja equipment the vendors had, she longed to be a ninja it was her dream but that dream was shattered.

"It's too late to become one now, I mean I'm 19" She thought. Her thought was interrupted when she heard someone start yelling, she looked up to see two men chasing another.

"HEY COME BACK HERE!" The blond spikey hair yelled.

"You idiot!" A man with black hair snapped.

"What I do now?!" the blond asked.

They were chasing an S rank criminal who somehow managed to break out of prison; the man was wanted for murder, rape, treason, and many other disturbing things. He was basically wearing rags; he had long shaggy brown hair, and sinister smile. His body had a medium build, his pants were torn, and he had no shoes or shirt. He looked up to see the girl with pink hair and knew exactly who she was, it was his lucky day.

Sakura shivered as the man's sinister smile grew when he looked at her, then it clicked. He intended to use her as a hostage.

"You better kick his ass!"

"You bet I am! I am not weak!"

Sakura, thought about hitting the ground but that was too dangerous. She turned around and ran; she had to lead him away from the market. Her feet pounded the ground and her lungs burned but she didn't stop, she couldn't stop. She could hear the two shinobi close behind them, the man was getting closer and closer, but she couldn't get caught not yet.

"Where is she leading him?" Naruto asked.

"From the looks of it she's leading him to the training grounds." Sasuke smirked.

"Come on we have to help her! She's Kizashi's daughter!" Naruto yelled.

They pushed more chakra to their legs to move faster; as they got closer they noticed she stopped running. They came up to the clearing; they could see the man standing in front of her trying to block her path. They stopped surprised, she was smiling and she was in a fighting stance. Did she really intend to fight him?

She pulled back her fist and slammed in into the ground causing it to burst and break, the man managed to jump out of the way before it could knock him off balance. They couldn't believe she was able to do that, she wasn't a ninja she shouldn't know anything about chakra control let alone how to use it to enhance your strength. He appeared behind her ready to strike but he didn't expect him to be greeted with a fist slammed into his face.

"SHANNARO!" she yelled sending the man flying into the trees.

They looked one with amazement but they realized the man was gone. The man appeared again in front of her but he was faster, she barley had to block his punch. She stumbled backwards; he appeared again grabbing her by the throat, she grabbed his wrist and crushed it, with his free hand he hit her hard. She flew backwards hitting the ground; she let out a moan of pain as rolled to a stop. She got up and resumed her stance.

"You call that a punch?" She was mocking him, with that statement made she smiled.

He was coming for her again this time with a kunai raised; he intended to disable her this time. She she knew she wasn't fast enough to get away, she closed her eyes waiting for the pain to come but it never did. She looked up to see the two shinobi standing in front of her, the enemy stopped and back away putting distance between them.

"Come on, Takashi you're going back to prison." Sasuke spoke first. Takashi just laughed.

Sakura shivered at the sound of his laugh, it was sickening. This was the man her father was talking about. She never would have thought he would get out, he came for her. He did all of this to try and kill her. Fear began to rise, and she began to panic, there were only to people standing between her and death.

She looked at the blond standing in front of her, he was taller than her by at least 5 inches, and he was wearing a tight black t-shirt, with a Jonin vest over it with dark blue jeans and black boots. His blond hair was mess of spikes his Leaf head protector was the only thing keeping it out of his eyes; on his face he had three little lines almost like whiskers. The man on his left was wearing a similar outfit only his shirt didn't have sleeves, hit raven colored her was spiked in the back and longer in the front, and he carried a katana on his belt right next to his leaf head band.

Takashi continued to laugh, "Do you really think you two brats can stop me?! I will slaughter you both and take the girl, how much do you think your father will pay to get you back? How I can't wait to get back at your father for what he did to me."

He looked right into Sakura's emerald eye, her body began to shake it was like she was staring death in the face.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about! I'll never go anywhere with you!" She yelled, Naruto looked back in shock, she was a brave girl that's for sure.

"That's what you think sweetie, oh all the things I have planned for you. I can't wait to hear your screams of pain and terror." Takashi began to laugh as Sakura's knees buckled.

She wrapped her arms around herself and began to shake, all she could do was stare at the ground. They both looked back at the freighted girl, Naruto took a few step back and knelt beside her, he put a hand on her shoulder and whispered "I'll protect you, I promise." She looked up with tears in her eyes not able to speak. She walked in front of her.

"I'll never let you touch her!" he growled.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Takashi cried.

Five clones appeared, Naruto and Sasuke got in a fighting stance ready to knock the clones and take this lunatic back to prison. Naruto looked back at the pink hair girl, her face was stern but her eyes worked against her, he could see the fear. They're eyes connected and he flashed her quick reassuring smile.

"That's nothing watch this!" Soon over a hundred clones appeared. Soon after Takashi began tearing through the clones surrounding them, one of Takashi's clones managed to get around and grab Sakura's wrist and began to pull her away.

"GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" she screamed kicking him in the stomach causing him to disappear in a puff of smoke. That was too close for comfort; Naruto took this chance and grabbed one of his clones.

"Take her and run, take her to Takuya!" he commanded.

The clone bent down so she could get on his back "Come on you can trust me, I know it seems crazy."

"H-how do I know this isn't some crazy plan to help him drain my father of his money?!" She yelled, her fists at her sides were shaking, angry tears began to fall. She didn't know this men it could be a trick to get her to trust them.

"I've worked with your brother Takuya, when you see him ask him about Naruto Uzumaki." His voice was calm as he spoke, he put his hand on her shoulder and looked down into her eyes "Trust me Sakura; please you have to go before you get hurt." His blues eyes held the same concern his voice did.

"This is ridiculous!" without warning Sasuke picked her up and threw her at Naruto's clone, she yelped in surprise. The clone caught her with ease and put her on the ground, she looked at the raven haired man. If looks could kill, he would have been torn apart.

"Sasuke!" he growled, "That was uncalled for!"

He looked back to see Sakura on his clones back, she looked back at him with tears in her eyes. The last thing she saw was a smile flash across his face as he turned back to face Takashi.
