What if Sakura saw the future in a dream? What if she found a way to capture Naruto and Sasuke in their great battle before death? What if she captured them and they were transported to their childhood as their present selves? Team Seven would never be the same again.
Fire everywhere. Screams of agony tearing at her ears. Blood, blood, rivers of blood pouring on the streets. Where was she? There! A pork special of the day sign scratched up. The ramen stand? Then that means this is Konoha. Her village. Where is everybody?
She ran toward the Hokage's office. Why? Why is this happening? She heard an explosion.
"Sasuke! I'll kill you!" a voice said. Her eyes widened. That's Naruto's voice? He's fighting –
She dashed toward Naruto's roars. She just arrived in a clearing of rubble when she saw Sasuke piercing Naruto in the ribs with his chidori and Naruto throwing resengan into Sasuke's chest.
Sasuke smirked. "It's over…" He coughed up blood.
Naruto smiled cheekily as he spat out blood as well. "Yeah. You satisfied, Teme?"
Sasuke closed his eyes. "…Nevermind." A flash of black and the orange-masked Akatsuki stabbed Naruto in the heart. Sakura heard a scream. It was hers. Sasuke's eyes widened. Tobi removed his mask.
Madara Uchiha. Sakura stopped screaming.
[The Park]
Sakura gazed at the river below her. A few splashes here and there, the clouds reflecting on the ridges of water, a couple floating leaves…She sighed. "It's so beautiful today, and soon…soon Naruto and Sasuke will…"
She shut her eyes closed and breathed in as she sobbed. They will die. First, Chio-baa sama then Kakashi-Sensei and now Naruto and Sasuke will kill each oth—Agh! The greatest battle in history is happening within the next few days and she's staring at a river – why can't she save her own friends?
Tears began to leak down her face as Sakura glared at the bright, sunny skies. It's all that jutsu's fault! She wanted one peek in Naruto's future and all she saw was blood and a chaotic Konoha. So many dead, so many…Sakura slapped herself. "Stop it right now Sakura," she said. "You are one of the top medics in the land and you're just going to sit and cry? You are not crybaby anymore!"
Standing up, she checked her Konoha headband and faced the river once more. She glared at her reflection. She took a deep breath and shouted, "My name is Sakura Haruno and I will find a way to save my teammates!" She had two days by the Ramen special she saw in her jutsu-based dream. Two days to save her family. She had a plan.
"Time to see how Madara survived."
