Disclaimer: I do not own or will ever own Naruto -sigh-
Story: Sakura has left the Hidden Leaf Village only a year before Sasuke comes back.The entire village saw Sakura as a highly skilled kunoichi but now sees her as a traitor and the greatest threat to Konoha. The only person that knows the true reason she left is Naruto. Why did Sakura left? And what does the Akatsuki have to do with this?
The Village was quiet as a certain raven haired shinobi entered it after 6 long years. He had not managed to kill Itachi yet but had managed to kill Orochimaru. As he entered the entire village stopped what they where doing and glared at him. A certain blonde haired ninja came out of the crowd and towards Sasuke.
"Teme!!" he yelled out angrily as he ran at him. Sasuke had expected this and quickly moved out of the way. Naruto turned back around a small grin on his face as he punched his friend on the back.
"Your finally back Teme" he said.
"Hn...dobe" Sasuke said smirking his trademark Uchiha smirk.
"Come on and follow me we have to go see Granny Tsunade about your punishment Teme" Naruto said grinning as he dragged the Uchiha with him.
Naruto and Sasuke left the Hokage tower after 3 hours of lecturing from Tsunade who sentence Sasuke to 8 monhts of probation. Sasuke hadn't spoken much since he had left the office. There was something that kept bothering him and he coudn't put his finger on it but something was wrong in the Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto lead Sasuke to their old training ground where Kakashi and some else that Sasuke knew where waiting.
"Oy Teme! Meet Sai he's the guy that replaced you when you left" Naruto said as he pointed at a male with raven colored hair that was more relaxed than Sasuke's chicken ass hairstyle ( rolls on ground laughing Im sorry but its true!!)
"Hello" Sai said smiling. At that moment Sasuke knew what was missing, he looked over at Kakashi, then Naruto, then at Sai.
"Wheres Sakura?" Sasuke asked looking around for the familiar pink haired kunoichi. He turned as he felt the carelessness in the air fade away being replaced by sadness and tension. Naruto balled his hands into a fist and looked at the ground, Kakashi turned away, Sai who hardly showed emotion looked up at the sky a face of sadness covering the once blank face.
"Dobe where is Sakura?" Sasuke asked again his anger rising. Naruto didn't answer him his head down as he tried to resist the tears from falling. Sasuke had it, he grabbed Naruot by the shoulders and shook him.
"Wheres Sakura?!" Sasuke yelled at him. Kakashi and Sai pulled Sasuke off of Naruto restraining him with all their might.
Naruto looked up at Sasuke a pure sadness on the Kyubi holder's face.
"She's gone Sasuke..." Naruto said as he pulled out a headband Sasuke was familiar with: Sakura's headband. She had it when they had gone to retrieve him. What filled him with dread was a slash mark across the Hidden Leaf symbol. He looked up at Naruto realizing what this meant.
"She's...betrayed the village Sasuke." Naruto whispered. Sasuke glared at him.
'Sakura would never betray this village!' Sasuke thought.
"Your lying" Sasuke said coldly to Naruto. Kakashi and Sai released him and they both shook their heads.
"No he's not Sasuke. Sakura left last year after we came back from a mission. She had been too quiet the day she left and all of us were worried. But we tried not to I mean Sakura changed so much since you left we thought it was just another of those days." Naruto said quietly.
"She became cold Sasuke she hardly spoke to anyone and wouldn't even let us call her Sakura-chan anymore. The night she left I caught her leaving and tried to stop her" Naruto said.
flashback
Sakura walked to the border of Konoha a small knapsack on her back. She had on a black halter top with black shirt a white skirt covering it, her kunai holster tied to her leg and her shuriken holder on her waist. She almost reached the border when something stopped her.
"Sakura!" Naruto yelled out as he ran towards her but stopped as Sakura threw 4 kunais at him nearly puncturing him. Naruto looked at her eyes wide.
"Sakura whats going on?" Naruto asked.
"Im leaving" she whispered. Naruto's hand balled up into a fist.
"So your gonna do the exact same thing that Teme did?! Sakura this isn't like you don't do this!!" Naruto screamed at her.
Sakura let out a cold hard laugh sending a shiver down Naruto's spine. She glared at him with such hatred and coldness it but Sasuke's glare to shame.
"Im nothing like that arrogant bastard. I'm not leaving for power Im leaving because of my reasons!" she screamed at him. Naruto flinched at her yell but recovered and looked at her.
"Where are you going?" Naruto whispered knowing that he had to stop her.
Sakura looked at him a chilling smirk played on her lips.
"Where I will hurt that arrogant bastard with all my might" she whispered. Naruto's eyes widened as he realized her meaning.
"Y-Your?!" he stammered out not able to finish his sentence.
Sakura nodded.
"That's right. Im joining Akatsuki, the next time you see me it will be to take the Kyubi from your body" she whispered.
Naruto's eyes narrowed as he ran at her.
"No Sakura you won't leave even if I break every bone in your body!!" he screamed. Sakura smirked and pulled out a katana and ran at Naruto slicing his shoulder causing him to fall to the ground.
Sakura looked at him and pulled out her Konoha headband, she grabbed the katana and swiped it across the symbol and threw the headband at Naruto.
"Goodbye...Naruto." she whispered as she jumped off.
"SAKURA!!" Naruto yelled out but was unable to move for Sakura's katana had a poison tip.
end flashback
"Thats what happened" Naruto said as Kakashi and Sai stayed quiet watching for the Uchiha's reaction.
Sasuke couldn't believe it, Sakura had betrayed the Leaf Village...and went to join Akatsuki?! He felt like his heart had been stabbed with a dagger.
'How could she do this?' Sasuke thought.
