Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Author's Note: This is my first fan fiction, I'd love reviews but please go a little easy on me. P
BTW: Sorry the chapters are kinda short. On wordperfect they looked pretty long. loll.
"Naruto look out behind you!" a girl with pink hair yelled as she dodged a kunai flying at her.
The blonde quickly made hand seals just before he was stabbed in the chest, only to turn into a log. The ninja cursed behind his mask and looked around, prepared for an attack.
Sakura looked to the other side of her to see her other team mate who was finishing off two more rock ninja.
She looked ahead and focused on the ninja who had thrown the kunai at her. It was a girl, and she was charging at her at a very fast speed. She threw another kunai which Sakura easily dodged.
The rock ninja swung her arm in an attempt to make contact with Sakura's face, and she just barely dodged her. Before the ninja could attack her anymore she saw Sasuke grab the ninja and throw her against a tree, knocking her unconscious.
Kakashi just then flung the last rock ninja over his shoulder and walked to Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura. "Is everyone okay?" he asked calmly as he looked the three over. They all nodded, showing they were all fine.
Naruto wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Please Kakashi-sensei. Those ninja were nothing! I could beat at least ten more!" Sakura rolled her eyes and Sasuke crossed his arms.
A few hours later, as they were jumping through the tree tops, Kakashi stopped, as did everyone else. "We'll rest here for the night and we'll get back to Konoha in the morning." he said as he set his bag down onto the floor.
There was a fire going and everyone sat around it. Kakashi was reading his small orange book, Naruto was talking to Sakura, who was trying to talk to Sasuke. He was just staring at the fire.
"You did so good fighting off those ninja Sasuke-kun!" Sakura squealed. "And thanks again for saving me from that ninja chick!" She would've gone on and on if it had not been for Sasuke interrupting her.
"You should've been more careful. What kind of ninja are you? You didn't even do anything to help. You just stood there helpless." he said. "Sasuke I-" Sakura started, but she didn't get the chance to finsish, "You need to train more! I'm not always gonna be around to save you, and neither will everyone else." And with that Sasuke stood up and sat under a tree, preparing to sleep.
Naruto shot Sasuke a glare, "Sakura don't listen to him! You did just fine, I bet you would've knocked that girl out if teme hadn't butted in."
Sakura smiled softly, looking at Naruto, "Thanks Naruto... but he's right." she said sadly as she stood up and picked up her bag. "Where are you going?" he asked looking up at her as she started walking.
"I'm just gonna take a quick bath. There was a lake not too far from here." she answered. Kakashi looked up from his book, "Be careful Sakura. There might still be some ninja out there." She nodded and walked on.
Just as she was about to take her clothes off she sensed an unfamiliar chakra. She looked up and saw someone staring at her through the trees.
A scream echoed through the forest, reaching the small camp site. Naruto's head snapped in the direction of where the scream came from. "That sounded like Sakura!" he said as he got up.
Sasuke got up as well, "Well then let's go check it out dobe." Naruto's jaw clenched as he followed after Sasuke quickly.
When the two got to the lake Sakura's bag was near the water, but Sakura was nowhere to be found. "Sakura!" Naruto yelled, running around looking for her frantically.
Sasuke felt someone's chakra energy, but it was too faint for him to be able to follow it. "This chakra isn't from any of the rock ninja. It's a lot stronger" Sasuke thought as he watched Naruto running around.
"Naruto! Running around isn't going to do anything! We need to tell Kakashi" he said as he started back to where their camp site was. Naruto mumbled something and followed.
After they had told Kakashi they quickly made their way back to village. When they informed Tsunade, who sent as many search teams as she could to look for the young kunoichi. Days went by with no luck finding her, and they didn't even have an idea of who might've taken her.
It had been a month since Sakura had disappeared, and much to Naruto's dismay, the search had to end so that the other missions could start again. A ceremony was held in Sakura's honor, and everyone said goodbye to their dear friend, Sakura Haruno.
