Prologue
She took in a gulp of air and then let out. Lady Tsunade was safe and alive. She was big worrying bomb that was just ready to go off any minute. Everyone had tried to calm her down, but only succeeded in making it worse. It all started the moment Naruto disappeared after encountering Sasuke. All the moments flashed back into her mind in vivid Technicolor. Danzo's dead body littered the ground, while Sasuke stood, towering over it. His eyes were blood red, full of hatred. As she painfully took in the flashbacks, she told herself that now was not the time to worry.
"I have to help Naruto by believing that he will be fine."
She closed her eyes. She was thinking back on all the memories that Team seven had, and inwardly smiled. She got up and went to check on her patient, the altogether annoying Karin. Ino was looking after her as well. Hinata and Tenten were out, looking for possible survivors. She looked over at Karin, who was out cold still, and rolled her eyes. She giggled. This girl acted like her 3 years ago, just after she watched Karin's open wide doubtful eyes looking at Sasuke, begging for some explanation. A little while back.
"Still pining over Sasuke, are we?"
She frowned. Ino turned to look at her rival/best friend and asked what was wrong.
"Nothing's wrong Ino. I'm totally fine."
"Well you definitely didn't look FINE, Sakura."
"I'm fine. Really. There's no need to worry about me."
"I'm not going to drop the topic until you tell me what's got you frowning instead of smiling."
She had to come up with a good excuse or else Ino will find out.
"Well Ino rack your brains together. Pein just attacked our village. Lots of shinobi lost their lives. Did I mention that we almost lost our hokage as well?"
Ino looked skeptical.
"I guess you have a point….will you look over her"
She pointed her shoulders in the direction of Karin. Sakura nodded. Ino quietly left the tent. Sakura turned back to Karin.
"I guess we both had dreams of winning him over, but it's plain obvious that revenge is the only thing on his mind now. If only he would realize how many hearts he had broken."
Somewhere in a deserted lair…
He was sitting there. Alone. Again. Surrounded by all the emotions he had hidden all these years. Beginning with a certain pink haired girl that he just couldn't get his mind off of. Ever since he had left her on that damn bench, he always got distracted as soon as a picture of her popped into his mind. If only she knew what was going on inside of him, but she couldn't. She never will. It was a Uchiha thing, of course. He cursed himself for being stupid.
Now is not the time to be thinking of her.
But you know you want to think of her. Come on, a little dreaming wouldn't do you any harm.
Shut up. I need to think about getting even with Konoha. Starting with that idiot Naruto.
Hmm…well, if that's what you want, then I can't stop you. But remember something, Naruto is still very protective of a certain girl that you can't get you mind off of. Maybe it's just a matter of leverage.
That one comment lead to a series of thoughts that soon turned into plans. He was sure to have cornered Naruto now. He closed his eyes and smirked.
On an island far away…
"WOAH!"
Yamato fell back against the ground. Bee-san helped him up. Naruto was almost in kyuubi mode, where the nine tails is slowly overtaking his body. Sweat beads formed on his head as he concentrated hard. His mother and father had come all this way to help him. He was not about to let some chakra monster waste that all away. He finally gave away the final devastating blow to the fox. Through all the smoke, he could see the fox breathing heavily. On the other side of a sealed gate. He had successfully sealed the fox himself.
As he returned to his world, Bee-san nodded approval.
"You are ready to receive the final step of the beginning of your training."
Well this is my first fanfic. Comments?
