Hi There. This is like my first serious story that I have posted up here..

This is the Prolouge which will explain things in the later chapters. Well here we go.

Her icy eyes shook them as she gazed at them with hatred. Once upon a time, this would have been wonderful meeting, but this time, it wasn't.

Her long scarf blew in the wind as a chill went down their spines. Things between them would never be the same.

"Why are you doing this?" Naruto shouted a hint of hysteria in his voice, for this was not the first time he had the face one of his friends.

Sakura's now long pink hair fell in front of her face. She laughed a dark hysterical laugh, as she faced them. "It was because of Konoha." She smiled. Sakura ran her hand through her hand and sighed. "It's ironic."

Sasuke's eyes sharpened as he spoke to her, "What is ironic?"
This question sent her laughing into a fit of laughter, but it was no longer her laugh. It was much more dark and sinister.

"Let me fill you in." she said as she began her tale.

Tsunade had grief in her eyes as she spoke to Sakura. "I have a solo mission for you. It will take you away for at least five years. It is dangerous and you will face S-Class ranked ninja. Are you prepared to accept?"

Sakura's once smiling face was now had a quizzical look on her face. After a while Tsunade broke up the silence. "Listen if you aren't prepared to accept. I can always get a more prepared and experienced shinobi instead. So-"

"NO!" Sakura shouted as anger resonated from her being. "I accept."

Tsunade looked to Sakura with saddened eyes. She was hoping Sakura wouldn't accept in fear of not being strong enough, but she had accepted.

Sakura left the office, packed her things, said her quick goodbyes, and left with no regrets.

"I don't understand, Sakura-chan." Naruto said. Her eyes saddened hardened and she glared at Naruto. In the blink of the eye, Sakura had disappeared from sight only to reappear next to Naruto. She punched him and sent him flying. Naruto slammed into a tree and broke it apart. For a moment, no one moved, they just listened to the sound of a tree crumbling. Right before Naruto almost dropped to the floor, Ino caught him.

"Why?" Ino said not even looking at Sakura.

Sakura's hard face softened. "Because they lied to me."
