HEY! Another fanfic!!! Lol. I was in this really uber angsty mood when I got home today…sooooo I decided to get on you tube and watch something sad…BAD IDEA! I ended up watching Naruto episode 109-111.-- AHHH!! Thus is the reason I hate(!!!) Sasuke. So I decided to make a fic about Sakura's life now. Flame me if you must, but I had to write this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haruno Sakura; age 16. Heart broken at age 13. Her status now? The highest ranking ANBU captain in all five shinobi countries. How did this happen? Blame the boy who shattered her dreams.

Uchiha Sasuke; age 15(A/N: Trust me on this one. Sasuke is younger than Sakura.) Became a missing-nin to Konoha at age 13. His status now? Top shinobi in Otogakure. How did this happen? Ask the girl whose heart he shattered.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day started out bright and sunny, but by noon; it was overcast. Over the years Sakura had become a very superstitious person. It helped her cover her emotions mainly. It also mad her think that the sky that day was a bad omen…Yet nothing bad had happened…yet…

"Sakura-san!" Shizune's voice rang throughout the hospital. "Sakura-san!"\

Sakura being the top ANBU probably heard Shizune's loud shrieking, but most likely decided to ignore her. Being trained by the Hokage herself had its advantages…and its disadvantages. One of those being, stealing all of her BAD habits. For example, ever since Sakura became Tsunade's apprentice, she had secretly been sneaking sake from her sensei's 'secret bar in a safe'. She also stole her habit of being lazy…Which didn't help when Shizune walked into Sakura's office just to see her snoring and drooling on her medical papers.

"Sakura-san! Wake up! Tsunade-sama has a very important mission for you!" A small grumble came from the sleeping form of Sakura. "I'll take that as an answer Sakura-san. Tsunade-sama wants you in her office within five minutes."

Even though it looked as if Sakura was still asleep when Shizune walked out of the room, she was actually wide awake; wondering what her mission could be. When she was a genin, and even a chunin, it was easy for her to take a stab at what the mission she was receiving was about, but when she graduated into the jounin level, and then into the ANBU level, it got harder and harder for her to guess what mission she would be sent on.

With a sigh from Sakura, she slowly moved her body from that oh so comfortable nurses chair and headed for the Hokage's office…More like she poofed to the Hokage's office. Tsunade must have been sober then, because she said 'Come in' before Sakura could even knock

"Did you call for me Tsunade-sama?" Sakura said in an emotionless voice. Personally, the one thing that scared Tsunade…was Sakura herself. She had techniques that would make people go insane just by looking at her. Her emotions were all fake…Just like Sai, but her 'condition' was worse. She once suffered from heartbreakothomia(A/N: You get it, ne?). But that was years ago after Sakura got back from the Sasuke retrieval mission with Sai and Naruto.

Flashback

Sakura had come back from the mission with a somewhat torn look on her face. Sasuke had denied her once again. He called her weak and almost killed her. The only thing Sakura could think of was that she was weak…and nothing else. Tsunade being a mother-like figure to Sakura, decided to talk to her and give her some advice.

"You asked to see me Tsunade-sensei?" Was the first thing Sakura asked as she entered the room.

Looking up from her papers, Tsunade answered her in a gentle voice. "Ah, yes Sakura I did! Why don't you sit down?" As if she was a puppet being controlled by Tsunade's voice, her body sat itself into the comfy chair.

"Now Sakura, do you…need help with anything, anything at all?"

At first it looked as if she was going to blow of the question completely, but just as Tsunade was about to speak again, Sakura burst into tears. "Ok Sensei! What can I do t-to get stronger?! I want to be stronger! C-can you help m-me with that?"

Tsunade took all of Sakura's words to her heart. She knew what it felt like to want to be stronger to impress or save someone. When Tsunade was younger, no one told her the consequences…and look at her now. She is rarely sober and is the Hokage of Konoha…

"Alright Sakura. I will help you…"

End Flashback

Seeing Sakura now, in her emotionless state, Tsunade really regretted teaching her the key to being powerful…

"Yes, Sakura-chan. I did want to see you. I have an S class mission for you." Tsunade looked for some kind of reaction from the girl, but saw none.

"Would you please inform me? It would be very helpful if you did."

A small sigh escaped from Tsunade's mouth before she began her 'long' explanation of Sakura's mission.

"Rank: S class. Group: Hatake Kakashi, Sai, and Haruno Sakura…Object: Kill Uchiha Sasuke."

I was thinking this should be a two shot…either that or something longer…Idk…Anyhow, this was part of my practice for FCAT writes so tell me how it was so I can work on it! Btw, Inner Itachi fans, the story will be updated…eventually before summer! Anyhow, for the longest time, I have been writing this crossover and I was wondering if ya'll wanted me to put the first chappie up. If so, just review.

Your wonderful authoress,
