Chapter one

Suffering

"I'm sorry,"stated the Rokudaime hokage to the two shinobi gathered in her office. Two brave jounin of the rookie nine, and two close friends of a certain kunoichi, of whom this discussion was about. Tsunade continued, with tears forming in her eyes, "but it has been two months, and under the circumstances..."Here she faltered.

The two anbu were silent as well, they knew full well the circumstances . There best friend Haruno Sakura had been missing two months after an ambush of konoha by the Akatsuki

-flashback-

"RASENGAN!!", naruto shouted ans his attack shredded apart the body of an Akatsuki. He stepped back and surveyed the raging battle. To his right formation InoShikaCho was finishing off a group of young nins, and on his left his best friend and teammate Sakura was using her monstrous strength to tear through her own batch of shinobi.

"Well that was easy." Ino stated simply.

"Bah, how troublesome."

"Anybody got any potato chips?"

"Don't be so at ease you guys,"Sakura shouted."no way these were real Akatsuki members, no way would be able to finish them off so quickly , They're just a distraction for the real attack." Sakura comment was confirmed when Kakashi's voice came over the radio.

"Sakura a team of anbu are trailing the real akatsuki, they made an assassination attempt on Tsunade-sama, they appear to have given up and are fleeing, the unit trailing them will need medical help rendevous with that about a 1 mile west of the Konoha gates, Naruto, Ino , Shikamaru and Chouji, report back to Tsunade immediately, over."

"Nande??? Why does Sakura-chan get to fight and I have to go report to that old hag!" said Naruto , earning him a bonk over the head from Sakura.

"Because idiot, I'm a medic nin and isn't it obvious, the Akatsuki wouldn't give up so easily, Tsunade-sensei needs all the help she can get." sighed Sakura "besides , its just reconnaissance, what's the worst that could happen?"

-end flashback-

Naruto snapped back to reality. Sakura had been not seen since, the entire unit had been killed and Sakura was no where to be found, after two months she had to be reported as killed in action. Naruto ,for once, was speechless, he couldn't bear to yell at Tsunade , she had thought of Sakura as a daughter , and had kept looking for her even though she was supposed to report her as legally dead after one month by shinobi law. But now...

Tsunade continued, "I have already finished the paperwork, retrieval missions will cease immediately , being as her parents died years ago, and she has no relatives, I'll leave it to you to clear out her apartment and ..."

"WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!!"

Tsunade looked at the source of the outburst, but surprisingly, it was Ino, not naruto who had yelled."Ino..." she said silently.

Ino was shaking, her fist clenched in a very naruto like manner , she stared houting, more to herself than anybody, "don't you see daammint she has to be alive , she would never leave her freinds, after all that has happened she would never just let herself die so easily, she is out there somewhere and needs our help, and you are just going to let her suffer??"

Naruto walked over to her to try to calm her down.He had been thinking the same thing but he knew tht the only thing keeping her away would be death, ever since Sasuke had left , she had always made sure to be there for her freinds. She would never leave them like that, but death was something she couldn't control, it wasn't her fault...

"Ino...," he didn't have a chance to finish Ino collapsed , sobbing into his arms. Naruto stood there dumbfounded, he glanced at Tsunade, her face was buried in her hands and she simply dismissed them and pulled out a bottle of sake as he Naruto led Ino out of the room. He didn't know it but, she wasn't upset because of Sakura. It was seeing Naruto so cold and somber becuasse of her that nearly drove her to tears. To see him so broken hurt her more than and yelling and screaming he could have done.
