Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto!
Everyone was dead. The village was in ruins. All hope was lost. This is what war brings you, pain, suffering,and loss. The third great shinobi war brought all of this on them. And Team 7 had the worst of it.
She was running through the ruins of konoha, she severely injured and she could not see properly. She was desperately looking for any survivers of her friends. She kept on running but all she saw was dead bodies laying everywhere, the streets were filled of blood and tears.
A flash of yellow under a boulder caught her attention, she dashed toward it trying to see clearly. Kneeling to the ground Sakura put the her bestfriends head in her lap. Blood was trickling from his mouth, he was bleeding internally and half his body was crushed under the boulder. He was beyond repair, he was dying. Sakura started to weep and called out his name.
"Naruto" She weeped. Dull blue orbs opened slowly trying to focus on the person who was currently crying on his face.
"S…akura..Chan" He drawled out. Sakura's eyes snapped open.
"Naruto!" she cried out in relieve. His breaths were getting shallow.
" We don't have much time" Naruto coughed out blood "There is something you should know"
She listened closely.
"There is this forbidden scroll that lets the person who uses it to go back to the past." He told her "But once you are in the past you can never return to the future" Her eyes grew wide.
"I put it where we used to have the old Team Kakashi meetings, hidden in one of the posts" He continued "Sakura-Chan, I want you to go to the past and make things right. A better future for all of us" He pleaded.
"Of course! Anything that will save everyone" Sakura agreed.
" But there is one important thing you should know" Naruto's breaths were getting ragged " You will be any age the scroll thinks will save the future,So there is not gurrantey that we will be team kakashi, Ok?" Naruto asked. Sakura felt her chest constrict. Not being on a team with Naruto? Not have Kakshi as her Sensi?.
"Promise me Sakura-Chan even if we are not team kakashi that you won't give you?" Naruto begged. Sakura choked back a sob. She slowly nodded her head. Naruto smiled at her.
"Good…" His eyelids were dropping " One more thing Sakura-Chan..."
"Yes?" Sakura choked out as she held his hand and held it to her face.
"…I love you" Then his eye lids shut for the last time, his chest stopped moving and his body went limp. Sakura's blood ran cold.
"Naruto?" Sakura cried.
"NARUTO!" She sobbed.
After a couples minutes of mourning she kissed Naruto's forehead.
"I love you too Naruto" she whispered.
She gently laid his head on the ground and with little chakra she had left she teleported to the old Team kakashi training grounds.
She walked around the uprooted and broken trees , so many memories here In this waste land. Sakura finally got to where the three wooden posts were aligned.
'It's in one of the posts' She thought. She walked to the last on her right, It was the one Naruto was strapped to during the bell test. She smiled sadly, then formed hand seals to release the seal binding the scroll in the post.A scroll appeared into Sakura's hands, she took a deep breath then opened the scroll. Sakura saw a white blind light before it all went dark.
She looked around frantically then a booming voice came through the darkness.
"Why have you summoned me" The booming voice asked.
"I need to change the future" she answered confidently.
"And why is that" It questioned.
"So I won't see my precious people die in front of me ever again" Sakura answered coldly.
"Why are you so sure that you will succeed"
Sakura thought for a minute then finally answered.
"I can not promise that I will succeed but I do know is with all of my power I will try to stop it! Even if I die trying I will not give up" Sakura answered firmly.
The voice was silent for a moment then asnswered. "Very well"
Then all of a sudden a streak of golden light shot out from the darkness and wrapped around Sakura, Then she slipped into unconsciousness.
He was coming back from his latest mission, a S-Rank, normally it would take a month for such a mission but the Uchiha prodigy finished it in fifteen days. After all Uchiha Itachi was not called a genius for nothing.
The prodigy was hopping across the trees until he landed in a field close to Konoha. Something wasn't right. Itachi's senses were on guard. He slowly walked through the field on guard. The field looked ordinary but the Uchiha knew better. The field felt like it was holding a secret with in it waiting to be discovered. Then everything went to black. Was it genjustsu? A trap? A Test?
"kai" he said.
Nothing happened. Then something caught his attention out of the corner of his eye. He looked up, a young girl with long flowing pastel pink hair dressed in a light green dress was floating down toward him , he outstretched his arms as she gently floated down toward him into his arms. Itachi looked down at her petite form she looked no older than him . He was lost in thought when a voice broke through the abyss.
"Take care of her" a voice echoed out.
Then the black abyss vanished and he was back in the field. His eye flickered back down to the girl in his arms. He scowled why would a girl float down from the sky? He wasted no time to ponder that thought. He quickly ran to Konoha. He made it to the gates of konoha he wasted no time he sprinted through the gates ignoring the greets from the guards. He transported to the Hokage tower and barged in the room.
The hokage snapped up from the paper work he was reading and looked at the intruder. Sarutobi looked up to find the Uchiha heir and a young girl in his arms.
"Please excuse the intrusion Hokage-Sama but this is important" Itachi said.
"It's ok Itachi, so what happened" Sarutobi asked.
Itachi explained what happened in the field and that's why the girl was now here. The Hokage listened closely then sighed. No use waking up the girl and integregate her on the spot.
"I'm assigning you to watch this girl and if she is a threat you may eliminate her on the spot. When she awakes bring her back to me so I can ask her a couple questions" The hokage ordered.
Itachi nodded.
" Very well. Dismissed then" Itachi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Things are were going to be more interesting from now on the old man thought.
Itachi was walking home carrying the girl bridal style. He examined her closely pastel pink hair, long dark eyelashes, baby smooth skin, Small body. There was no way this girl could be a ninja, she didn't have a scratch to prove it!
Itachi was getting stares from the villagers who were passing by, It wasn't very often you see the Uchiha Itachi carrying a girl, let alone be within ten feet of one!
Itach ignored them all and continued his way home. He finally made it to the Uchiha complex.
"Oka-San I'm home" He called when he got home.
"Aniki!" a little raven haired boy yelled running to greet his brother. "I missed you!" the little boy yelled. Then a women in her early thirty's appeared.
"Itachi! Your back" She greeted. She saw the young girl in Itachi's arms.
"Oh my who is this?" Mikoto asked.
"I found her in a field, I am assigned to watch over her. She will be staying with us." Itachi answered.
"Oh then I better prepare a room, Go put her in a guest room for now" Itachi nodded and started to walk up stairs with a curious raven haired little boy hot on his heels.
Itachi put her in a guest room close to his in case she tried to attack or something happens. He closed the door to the guest room and put a seal on it, when ever she woke up or tried to escape it would let him know.
"Aniki, will she be staying with us?" curious little Sasuke asked.
"Hai"
"Aniki…Why do you think she has pink hair?" little Sasuke exclaimed.
"I don't know Ototo." Itachi smiled. Then went down stairs with his little brother right behind him.
She went into darkness, Sakura faintly remembered that as she started to wake up. Sakura opened her emerald orbs to a unfamiliar room, it was nighttime. Where was she? Wasn't she with Naruto…Oh, now she remembered. The scroll,the war, everyone…dead.
She sat up and looked around the room, it was a good size bedroom, probably used for guests. She was in someones house, ok all she had to do now was just quickly disappear and get on what she was here to do. Sakura quietly slipped out of bed and stood up…Wait a minute? Was everything bigger? Sakura saw a mirror and hurried over to it.
What Sakura saw made her gasp she was twelve again! How was this possible! Then Sakura remembered what Naruto said. The scroll would send you back to anytime and any age, that it would see fit to change the future.
After a few seconds to calm down she looked around for a way to get out, Sakura went over to the door and tried to open it, it seems like a jutsu was placed over the room. So the house she was in was owned by ninjas, Just great she thought. She went over to the window and tried to open it, the jutsu was holding it in place. Hm, time to use her chakra. Sakura gathered her chakra into her fist and was about to hit the window when a voice broke through the air.
"No use, it won't work"
Sakura froze in mid punch, that voice sounds vaguely familiar. She didn't even feel the person's chakra appear.
Sakura turned around and who was before her knocked the air out of her. The person who was before her was Uchiha Itachi. Sakura's mind went spinning, was this why she was here? To stop the Uchiha massacre? She was lost in her thoughts when Itachi's voice broke through the tense silence.
"State your business here" His voice was cold, his Sharringon activated.
'My business? In Konoha?' Sakura thought. She couldn't exactly tell him ' Oh hey I'm from the future sent back in time from a scroll, and hey! Your going to kill your clan!' She would be killed on the spot! She had no other choice she had to lie.
"My village was massacred, I have no family or friends left. My mother always told me how konoha was a nice place to live" Sakura lied well not technically that did happen but in another time.
Itachi studied her carefully, She seemed sincere. But that was up to the hokage to decide.
"You will be questioned tomorrow by our hokage." Itachi stated.
'I'm not surprised' Sakura glumly thought, she nodded.
"What's your name" Itachi demanded.
"It isn't polite to ask someones name without giving yours first" Sakura smirked.
Itachi raised a eyebrow at that. Who did this girl think she was? He sighed.
"Uchiha Itachi" He said coldly with amusment in his eyes.
"That's better, I'm Haruno Sakura" Sakura smirked.
"Hn" Itachi answered and smirked back. This was definitely going to be interesting he thought.
