I don't own Naruto.
When Orochimaru finally noticed the little pink haired wonder girl that was Sasuke's teammate, he was very surprised by the turns of fate, and he grinned so happily that he shell shocked Kabuto to the core.
Days later, after the Chuunin exams were over, and everyone fussed over the Uchiha brat, he simply grabbed her in the middle of the night, and no one, not even Naruto or her parents realized that Sakura was missing till three days later.
She woke up confused on a sad, gray little room and spent the rest of the day crying and screaming for help until her voice became tired and her eyes shed all the tears she had left.
Then she realized she was captured by someone, but even when the knowledge scared her, her faith in her teammates was so strong that she decided to simply lie on the bed to wait for her rescue while glaring hatefully at the door.
As days passed on by without any captors coming to greet her, she started to grow silent, Kabuto watched on the camera as her malnourished form started to wilt gradually.
One week later, when she simply laid her head on the floor and stared at the ceiling, Orochimaru came to her.
He happily looked at her in the eye and while he gently caressed her pale and gaunt cheek he uttered the words that killed Sakura Haruno and gave birth to Orochimaru's most faithful and valuable servant.
"They don't even suspect that I have you"
Kabuto watched silently as the girl came to life again, as her green eyes became lit with the same fire they had seen before on the Forest of Death but tainted with something darker.
He watched as the girl looked at Orochimaru, and Orochimaru looked at the girl.
And then Sakura knew, that even if she wanted someone to save her now, no one would come.
Firstly because after all, she was nothing compared to Naruto or Sasuke, so obviously the village woudn't bother to really look out for her.
And lastly, even if her teammates truly wanted to find her, they would become convinced that she was either killed by one of the Oto nins, or that she was captured and perhaps sold to slave merchants.
Poor, weak Sakura would become a sad little memory on both boys's mind.
Because no one would think that one of the legendary Sannin would even consider her as someone valuable enough to kidnap.
"Kabuto, tomorrow you'll start teaching her the medical ninjutsu"
Orochimaru knew that Sakura would learn fast. She would soon surpass even Tsunade herself, she had far more potential than the slug master ever dreamed of.
Sakura smiled.
She couldn't wait to meet her old teammates in the future.
She was the precious little flower the snake had been looking for, and he would turn her into something more powerful…
