Chapter One: Reuniting

"We're back! un" A voice called to his teammates as he landed onto the ground in the middle of the forest.

"Yay" Hidan rolled his eyes.

"Hey, un" Deidara grinned and waved.

"Deidara, what did you get?" Itachi said emotionlessly walking up to Deidara

"The nine tail jinchuriki is about to get his team assigned and he was hanging out with a girl with long dark red hair" Deidara answered looking at the Uchiha.

Itachi nodded.

They all stopped when they felt a chakra signature walking towards them. They all hid in the bushes nearby and sealed their chakra.

"Sakura!" a girl said who had long brown hair which was tied at the end and red eyes.

"Hi Hikari" Sakura bent down on one knee to let her go; Sakura was wearing white boots, an orange stripped tank top with a green tank top underneath and a blue skirt that went up to her upper thigh; her long pink hair was now up her calf and was tied up in a ponytail; she still had her forehead protector tied on covering her forehead; she had a large sword covering her back and she had a kunai pouch strapped on to her right leg with bandages underneath; there was bandages covering her left arm.

Itachi studied her through the bushes and found her more beautiful then when they were younger.

"Where are you going" Hikari stepped back a bit.

"I have to go back to Konoha" Sakura said and ruffled Hikari's hair a bit.

Hikari tilted her head. "What about Orochi-sensei?"

"Orochi-sensei let me go" Sakura answered looking at her.

"Why?" Hikari question staring at her.

"How about you get back and stay out of harms way" Sakura smiled standing up.

Hikari nodded and ran back to Sound.

"Sakura, you're back!" The hokage greeted. They were at the hokage tower.

"Hi" Sakura hugged the hokage.

"You look different" Sarutobi said looking at her.

"Thanks" Sakura smiled.

Sakura then met up with Yasuaki.

"So what is going on? Where are Naruto, Anrii and Sasuke?" Sakura asked; they were in the living room of the Haruno manor.

"I was going to them now; their at the Academy getting assigned their new teams" Yasuaki finished washing his cup.

"Can I come too?" Sakura stood up.

"Yeah sure, come on" Yasuaki slipped on his sandals and walked out the door with Sakura following him.

"And team 7 will be Anrii Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki" Iruka announced. Anrii turned around and stuck her tongue out at Ino Yamanaka. Naruto punched the air happily and Sasuke smiled a bit.

They all stopped when they saw the door opened and Yasuaki walking in with Sakura.

Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke widened their eyes.

"Hi" Sakura waved at them.

"Sakura!" Anrii and Naruto screamed and ran to hug her.

Sasuke got up from his seat and walked towards her.

"Hi Sasuke" Sakura walked up to Sasuke and smiled.

"Sakura" Sasuke hugged her. Sakura hugged back.

"So who's your new sensei?" Sakura asked them when they were outside the school.

"Hello Pinkie" a voice said behind Sakura.

Sakura's eyes widened as she turned around and saw none other then Kakashi reading his book.

"Hey Kakashi" Sakura smiled.

"Who was that?" Kisame said coming out of the bushes after Sakura left.

"That was the infamous Sakura Haruno" Deidara answered also coming up from under the bushes.

"Man, that girl's hot" Kakazu looked at the direction Sakura was headed.

"Hm" Itachi ignoring Kakazu's comment and headed towards Konoha.

"Itachi Where are you going?" Kisame asked but didn't get an answer because Itachi disappeared.

Sakura was walking to her apartment. She found herself uncomfortable living in the Haruno manor.

Once she entered her apartment building she saw that the place was small but clean; the walls were white, there was a small coffee table and a couch, also there was a kitchen and a door to her bedroom and bathroom. She walked into her bedroom and set down her sword against the wall and saw the window opened. Sakura walked over to it and looked out and saw nothing.

I'm just hallucinating Sakura thought as she closed the window.

Sakura then felt arm wrapped around her waist; her eyes widened.

"Hello Sakura" a voice whispered into her ear. The person who held Sakura turned her around.

Sakura's eyes widened even more.

"I...Itachi"
