Chapter 1
Sakura's Mission
"Dammit", the pink haired kunoichi whispered harshly.
She unfortunately missed one of her footings when attempting to hop to the tree on her left. In results, she fell twenty feet high, and harshly at that. She quickly got on her heel and hid cautiously between a large tree and a bush. Inspecting for bruises she realized her left side was forming bruises all over her left forearm. She hissed in pain as she touches it, she had worse. She couldn't afford to waste chakra so she just had to deal with it. She got up and kept running, there is no time to waste the kunoichi thought. She had important news to deliver to her mentor and she had to hurry, fast.
2 Week Earlier
"Sakura Haruno, the Hokage has asked for your presence", the masked Anbu informed her.
I nodded in response and headed my way to Shishou office. She must have something serious to discuss with her if she sent an Anbu to inform her. Usually, Shishou would send Shikamaru or any of the Chunins to pass the message.. Unless there was a high ranked mission for her. Now I'm really curious, she thought.
Sakura reached the doors to her mentor's office and extended her arm to knock, but before she could she halted when she heard Tsunade's voice.
"Sakura enter", her mentors voiced boomed.
As I entered I was greeted by Shizune and Tonton. I greeted back with a smile and approached forward from the doorway. As I got closer I could see Shishous brows knitted, her frown was heavy. Shizune also had a concern expression as she firmly held Tonton. The room was filled with tension. I could already sense whatever it was she was about to tell me it was definitely not good news.
"Tsunade-sama, you asked for me", I said as I bowed.
Tsunade turned her chair and faced the windows of her office.
"Sakura, I need you to find more Intel on Sasuke about his whereabouts. As you know Sasuke had defeated Itachi Uchiha and has been rumored passing by the Hidden Grass Village. I don't ask you to confront him yourself, but I need more Intel so we can pursue Sasuke. You are to go to the Hidden Grass Village and ask around discreetly. Meaning you must wear a cloak at all times; and avoid showing your hair for it will give your position away. You are to report any information every 3 days through a bird messenger. If you somehow find the Uchiha do not engage. You are to report to me immediately and follow him from afar. If no information is founded by two weeks you are to come back. If I could I would hand this task to someone else but all my high ranked Chunins are out doing other missions right now. The Anbus are also either out on missions or out looking for Itachi Uchiha's body. We both know Naruto must be kept inside the village due to the Akatsuki plan to collect all the jinchurikis. This mission cannot be told to Naruto, understand."
"Understood Hokage-sama", she said as she tries to process the whole mission out.
So many thoughts were running throught my head. Am I going to see Sasuke again? Will he kill me? Will he finally come back after killing Itachi? Do I even forgive him? My mind was overworking until I saw Shishou finally turn her chair to face me.
"Sakura, I trust you as my student to not let your feelings get in the way of your mission. You are a strong and intelligent kunoichi. I wouldn't have asked you if I knew you couldn't handle it", Tsunade proudly said.
"Of course Shishou, I will not fail you", Sakura said firmly.
"Good, you are to leave tomorrow morning, dismissed".
