Sakura opened her eyes slowly, squinting from the sun that dared to wake her. Her eyes felt heavy, her body weak. Her body racked with shivers as she looked down at the stone cold floor she was laying n. She slowly rose, her head feeling light headed and dizzy as she tried to concentrate.
'W…what happened to me?' Sakura though to herself. Her mind wandered at she remembered what happened before she came here….
_____________________________________________________________
Sakura walked down the street, her hands in her pockets, her long pink tresses swung behind her, lifted by the slight breeze heading the opposite way. She heaved a small sigh of calmness as she looked to the sky, her bright green orbs dazzled and sparkled from the sun. Sakura just loved the Spring. Her eyes then wandered off to the cherry blossoms, which were in full bloom. She smiled as her thoughts began to wander on other things. But they were broken as aloud voice called to her from the distance.
"Sakura-san!! Sakura-san!!" Sakura turned towards the voice, a tad annoyed it broke her from her peace. One of the village's Chuunin had approached her, short of breathe as he held his knees gasping for air. She tilted her head to the side in curiosity as she watched him. She couldn't quite put a name to his face, but she felt it didn't really matter o she dropped the thought quickly and with out care.
"Is there something I can do for you?" She said, losing her patience quickly. He looked to her and bowed respectfully, his face holding slight panic.
"Sakura-san! There is a mission for you! Hokage-sama said it was urgent!!" Sakura's eyes widened slightly as she ran past the boy. She jumped through the trees, her legs going as fast as they could.
'hmmm…he seemed serious. Hopefully she's not just drunk like the last time.' She thought. The hokage could be such a frustrating person. Especially when her assistant, Shizune was out of town.
Soon, she arrived in front of the large building. She ran to the top, with the use of her great chakra control, quickly jumping onto the balcony where the Hokage waited.
"Sakura…You have a new mission." Tsunade said, looking out to the village, seriousness written across her face. She definitely wasn't drunk.
"What is it?" Sakura asked, resting her body against the railing while looking at her sensei.
"There's a boy…who can help us track sasuke." Tsunade looked at her student, her face void of emotion, but her eyes spoke for her. They held anger and confidence, something that was familiar within her teacher. Sakura's eyes matched hers, as her rosy lips formed into a thin line.
"How can he help us? Did he spot Sasuke?" Tsunade shook her head.
"No…He can bring people to the past, present, and future…And he's willing to help us." Tsunade said, looking back at the village. The wind blew as it played with the hair in her face, blowing it to the side, giving her a serene look. Sakura tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and nodded.
"I see…And you want me to go into the past?" Tsunade gave a slight nod.
"Yes…but this time…your going to stop the uchiha massacre." Sakura's eyes widened as she looked at her teacher and well respected hokage.
"B-but Hokage-sama! That would mean I'd have to defeat Itachi and-" Tsuande put her hand up, silencing her.
"No…Your going to kill the leader of the problem….Fugaku Uchiha, Sasuke's father…." She said, looking at Sakura. Sakura's eyes held shock and awe at her teacher's words. But, that was to be expected..
"Now listen carefully Sakura, This boy knows where sasuke is…because sasuke is in the past right now. He's going to destroy the village, kill Itachi, the hokage…And maybe even you and Naruto…" Sakura looked at her teacher and hung her head. How did things come to this? Did he really hate them that much? She glanced up at her teacher who was looking at her with sympathy.
"How is killing Fugaku going to help us?" Tsunade watched her student and replied softly.
"Fugaku Uchiha was a leader of a secret group. This group was formed of the police's best ninja, most of which consisted of Uchiha. The group was formed to defeat the hokage, and to form a government ruled by the Uchiha members. But, the Akatsuki stepped in, saying it wasn't right by God… At the time, Orochimaru had left Akatsuki where he disguised himself as an uchiha member, gaining access to the Sharingan's secrets. He hungered for such power, and decided to create a jutsu. This jutsu, was able to control the mind of the victim, allowing him to do whatever the user wanted him to do….The most cruel and gruesome thing about this jutsu though…Is that the victim's senses are still there, meaning they can see, feel, touch, and even taste what's happening…. This is what happened in Itachi's case. While having control of Itachi's body, he had him kill his best friend, Shisui Uchiha. This allowed Itachi to gain the Mangekyou Sharingan. Because of this, everyone thinks Itachi no longer wants to show his face in the village, which is why everyone thinks he went to the Akatsuki….But, what everyone doesn't know is…." She trailed off as she looked down, almost searching the ground, hoping they would somehow provide her with some kind of way to explain. Sakura looked at her, her eyes showing how desperate she was to know.
"But…What everyone doesn't know is….is that the 3rd Hokage made it Itachi's mission to join the Akatsuki….The hokage had wanted Itachi to kill off his clan because he knew of Fugaku's plans….Fortunately, the Hokage got what he wanted….And it wasn't even Itachi's fault…" Tsunade stopped and shut her eyes. Releasing this information was hard…Especially since it was about her own sensei. The one she loved and cared about with all her heart. The one that was slightly perverted but had a kind heart and determination that made him one of the best Hokages Konoha has ever known… Sakura looked towards the ground. Would Sasuke hate her for doing this? She shook the thoughts from her head, knowing that his father was the cause. Sakura bowed in respect and took the scroll from Tsunade, regarding the mission and a map of where to find the boy. After placing it into her pocket, she looked at her sensei, determination shining through. Tsunade looked at her and nodded, dismissing her.

Sakura left her house the next morning, her backpack filled with required necessities for the mission. The night before she read over the scroll. She had the map memorized in her mind, quickly calculating the quickest root. The boy lied in a small, practically abandoned village. This village was once allied with sound, but due to difficulties in the past, they became their own village, where they were rarely supported, making most people leave the crumbling village. After several hours of traveling, Sakura came across a large gate, rusted and old it stood, the door slightly ajar. Sakura nudged herself through the crack as she looked around. Buildings lay crumbled or practically destroyed. It looked like the after math of a serious battle. Sakura quickened her steps, as she walked through the village, inspecting it. The scroll had said that he would be in the far side of town, where most of the people that remained there were. Sakura moved hastily. Soon she arrived to a small tent, the light inside flickered. Sakura moved the cloth aside, and looked down to see a boy around 14 years old, sitting and staring at the floor. Sakura watched him cautiously, as she cleared her throat. She opened her mouth to speak but he beat her to it.
"Your from the leaf village…Am I correct. Ehmm.": He said, looking at her from the corner of his eye. A wicked grin became plastered to his face as he stood. Sakura took a step back, cautious, as she looked at the boy. He only stood about 5"2', only four inches smaller then she was. He had dark crimson hair, which was spiked towards the front. He looked at her, and she stared down into yellow eyes, with a tint of green, in the shape of a diamond, around his pupil. She stared into them, almost dazed, until his words broke her out of her trance.
"Am I correct?…Ehmm…" Sakura shook her head and nodded slightly.
"Y-yes…I'm hear for a mission from The leaf Village's Hokage…I n-" He put his hand in front of her face.
"You need to go to the past. I know…." He turned and sat by a small fire, which Sakura just noticed was there. She stood next to him.
"Yes…I need to get the guy you sent there before back to the present and make sure he doesn't mess things up….And I must do my own personal things bu-"
"yea yea yea….I've hear it all before…" He looked up at her, almost in a evil way. "Just remember…What you do there…..will effect you here. You mess up…And we're all screwed." Sakura nodded, growing aggravated by the boy and his ignorance. He stood and walked to the other side of the fire. He closed his eyes and began to chant. Sakura watched him in curiosity.
'this is it….I'm coming for you…Sasuke-kun…' Sakura closed her eyes and soon, she felt a blast of air hit her, then…..black.

Sakura looked towards the sky, the wind sweeping her bangs to the side, and out of her face.
"ahhh yes…. Now I remember."
