A/N: Hi Everyone This is my first fanfiction so please bear with me. Thanks!

BTW: This story will be written in different points of view so that's what the name at the beginning means.

Chapter 1

Sasuke:

Night fell, and the silence was overwhelming. You could hear a pin drop. A cloaked figure hid in the shadows, blending in with his surroundings. Hidden by the dense foliage, he crouched, waiting for his unsuspecting prey.

At hearing a rustle in the bushes, his mind was immediately on alert. If you could see through the darkness, you would notice his red eyes.

Along the forest path, two oblivious figures walked side by side, their jovial conversation interrupting the silence. One was short, yet muscularly built. He seemed to be hovering behind his companion. The other was average, but wiry with glasses perched upon his thin face.

It was then that Sasuke took action. With his sharingan activated, he quickly jumped in front of them. Upon seeing him, the men's eyes widened.

The thin one then croaked, "It's you! What do you want?! Tell Orochimaru to stay away from my business.

Mockingly, Sasuke grinned, but before them men could say out his name, they fell dead, to the forest floor.

Sakura:

Just returning from a shift at the hospital, Sakura entered her apartment and collapsed on her couch. She knew she had used too much chakra, but that was inevitable in her field of work. If the difference between life and death depended on her chakra, then so be it.

Not long after she settled, a knock came at the door. Groaning she walked to the door. She yelled, "Naruto…go away" as she opened her door. To her surprise, and ANBU was at her door. Sheepishly, she grabbed the scroll in the ANBU's hand and quickly retreated to her apartment.

Opening the scroll, it read:

Sakura,

Meet me at my office when you receive this message. Prepare for a mission and report ASAP. This mission will be long, so pack appropriately.

Tsunade

PS: Bring me a bottle of sake!

Sighing, she packed her mission gear and headed to Tsunade's office. Being well respected in Konoha, numerous people greeted her on the way.

She reached Tsunade's office and knocked on the door. Yelling "I'm not giving you any sake shishou!" on her way in.

Looking up, Tsunade sighed, " Sakura, Shizune's already hidden my sake! How do you expect me to get through all this paperwork?"

Laughing, Sakura replied, "Shishou, don't worry I'll talk to Shizune about it. Now, why don't you tell me about this mission you have for me."

"Ah Sakura, this is a solo mission and will take several months. You must be prepared. This is life or death. Your mission is to infiltrate the Hidden Sound village."

Shishou = Master/Teacher

Thank you for reading I hope to update soon, so until next time! Please feel free to leave comments, and I'm fine with constructive criticism. I would like to make my writing appeal to all of you.
