No matter how dark out pain, deep our failure,

Or difficult the obstacle in our way, we can find the strength not only

To endure, but to overcome. For God has planted a power in the human

Heart that does not yield to darkness, a brave hope

Hope with Him all things are possible.

"Sasuke, Stop!" yelled 8 year old Sakura, but the boy showed no sign of hearing. He just went back to stabbing Sakura's family and friends.

First her mother, and then her father. Then Naruto and Ino. Then the rest.

All of them, gone.

She kept screaming at Sasuke, how much she hated him, how she should of killed him first. But now there was nothing she could do. He finally lifted his sword to his chest…

And stabbed himself.


Sakura Haruno ran through the streets of Konoha. It's been 9 years since Sasuke killed her family, friends and himself. She'd never forgive him. That backstabber.

But now she had more important business.

"Tsunade!" Sakura yelled and ran to her former mentor's body laying in front of the Hokage tower.

"Sa-ku-ra…" Tsunade whispered, her throat dry and swollen. "Shusi, don't speak…"

Sakura began attempting to heal her mentor. "It won't work, please don't."

"Tsunade… Where is everyone? Everyone disappeared! What happened!?"

"Sakura… Orochimaru…happened…" Her mentor choked out, blood managing to clog her throat.

A few moments passed by. Then Sakura finally began crying.

Tsunade had died, and so hadn't the entire Konoha village.


I should have been there… I should of protected them. I was too late to save Tsunade. I should of died with my village.

Sakura was now stumbling through the forest, it was about 7:30. It was definitely dark out. Tears streamed down Sakura's face. She had only but one purpose now.

Avenge her Village's death.

But to do that, she'd have to team up with her enemy.

The Akatsuki.
