Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Sakura's POV.
I opened my eyes and looked over at my clock. It read 6:00 Am.
I yawned and got out of bed. After getting dressed I headed down stairs and grabbed a bagle.
My mom was in the sand village visiting a friend who had recently given birth.
I paid my respects to my father and walked to the training grounds.
When I got there I saw little kids still in the academy there. Deciding to leave so I wouldn't freak them out with my mad skills I went to the woods.
I layed on the grass and looked up at the sky.
It was cloudy and looked like it was going to rain soon.
This is how the sky looked when he died.
Sasuke's POV.
I was taking a short cut through the woods to Naruto's house when I saw Sakura laying on the ground her eyes were closed and her arms were crossed behind her head.
I was about to run over and see if she was okay when she opened her eyes and looked over at me.
"Hey Sasuke"
"Uh hey"
She closed her eyes again as if I had never even came.
"So what are you doing?"
With her eyes closed she replied:
"thinking"
"about?"
"Nothing important"
"Oh"
"So Sasuke what brings you here?"
"Just heading to the Dobes house"
Just then someone jumped onto Sasuke's back making him fall towards Sakura.
She rolled out of the way quickly without even opening her eyes.
"Naruto get of me if you value your life"
"Ha ha serves you right for calling me dobe"
"Hey wrestle somewhere else this spot is taken" (sakura said that)
"Hey Sakura Tsunade wants to see me, you, and Sasuke."
Naruto walked over to Sakura and offered her his hand she took it and stood up.
For some reason that really bothered me.
We walked to the hokages office.
Tsunade was resting her chin on her hands and Jiriya was standing behind her.
"Team 7 there has been word of Orochimaru in the land of waves."
Even though I was back Naruto still hated Orochimarus guts.
"He has suddenly become very intrestead in Sakura."
That made me pissed of. Orochimaru had never targeted Sakura before.
To say Naruto was furious was an understatment. I was worried he was going to go into nine tailed fox mode.
I expected Sakura to look scared like how she would have acted when we were kids.
I was surprised to see that she looked calm as if she had been expecting this.
"Your mission is to go to he land of waves and research this rumor."
"Sakura you will lead this mission."
I spoke up "Isnt it a bad idead to have the person he's looking for go to where he is?"
"What better bait could we ask for"
"THIS IS CRAZY SHE SHOULDN'T GO!" yelled Naruto loud enough for the whole village to hear.
"Naruto"
Naruto looked up at Jiriya.
"Sakura can handle herself she has trained for things like this."
"But pervy sage!"
"Naruto it has been decided!"
"Pervy sage?" Tsunade threw an evil smile at Jiriya.
