"Sakura wait up" yelled Naruto, "I have to ask you something!" " What is it Naruto I have to get to Shikamaru's place so he can train me." Sakura said coming to a halt. "I was wondering after you finish training would you like to…. Do ….umm….dinner with me?" Naruto asked.
You can see Narutos face turn a bright red. "I can't, sorry I have to get back to the sand village and see my parents." "Ohhhh, sorry for asking!" Naruto interrupted her. Its been two years Sakura lost her parent, and when Orochimaru left her a gift. A curse! She gained the curse battling Orochimaru who came without an invitation. He bit her because he thinks that she has what it takes to be one of his children. But he underestimated her. Its also been three years Sasuke left the village. And all three years she was training to avenge her parents death.
Well Sakura slowly walked to Shikamarus' place, but then Naruto grabbed something out of his pocket and ran after her. "Umm. Sakura I want to give you something." he then placed a red ribbon in her hands. "Naruto what is this for?" Sakura asked. "it belonged to me mother and I want you to have it. Well for good luck and stuff." " I cant its not right.." "no really I want you to have it!" Naruto yelled and cuffed her hand that held the ribbon. "thank you Naruto its very ….. Kind of you." "no prob." Naruto slowly waved good bye as he walked by her. To Sakura as walked past her.
"Naruto, he's so kind to me. Why? I haven't done anything to for him." Sakura thought. "Sakura, and Sakura!" Naruto stopped and spun around. Sakura did the same. " yea Naruto ." Sakura asked unaware of what he was going to say. "please be happy. I miss the bright glow of your happiness." naruto yelled back looking at the dirty, dusty ground. Sakura smiled and said "sure Naruto and thanks again!"
Sakura ran to shikamarus' "hey Sakura how's was your day?" shikamaru asked "umm. Fine I guess." Sakura said while looking into his eyes. "why don't you go home. Its kind of late and you look exhausted?" "Sure Shikamaru!" Sakura walked home silently "I probable lost track of time when I was talking to Naruto." Sakura said to herself. It was dark when Sakura arrived at the mountain that had all the Hokages faces on them. Then slowly she pulled out the ribbon that was given to her by Naruto and wrapped it around her perfectly tan skin thirty times. Up to her to her shoulder. She then carried on her walk to the cemetery and then back to the sand village. But when took one more step a shadow passes her with great speed that it gave her chills up her spine. The shadow went in the direction of the Uchiha village. So Sakura instead of doing what she was suppose to do chased after the shadow. The village stopped in front of a big tree that was next to thee lake were Sasuke used to train at. It then turned around and called to Sakura.
"come out girl I wont bite." Sakura, stands up in shock for the voice was some how familiar to her. "isn't your name Sakura? Yes I remember my little brother yelled out your name at the boarder." " ohh, your …. Itachi!" Sakura gasped at who was standing in front of, but she then smiled. "what are you smiling at. You first gasped at who I am and now your smiling!" Itachi spat at her. " I dun no?" Sakura shrugs, "probable because I ca do someone a favor and get rid of you!" "pathetic! You think you can defeat me!" Itachi look at her anger building up inside him.
