Sakura thinking

"people speaking"

"Inner Sakura Speaking"

Most people believe in hope, faith, fate and other silly things that are sopposed to be a main factor in the lives we lead. I don't believe in much anymore. When you have to get through every waking day being a shinobi and being asked to assassinate and kill people without a second look and not give a damn as to why they were given that predetermined death the thoughts and questions just stop coming. You stop asking things like 'why' and 'how come' instead you just ask 'when' and 'where' as in when to strike and where to go.

They say that once you have lost all of you're emotions that you are considered dead inside. They say if you don't care for those who are close to you you're considered trash. Those who say this though are contradicting themselves for they are the same people who say that emotions are worthless and lead to your demise as can those who you trust close to you.

This makes me wonder if they are trying to keep you from being killed or if you being a killer is what they need...

Sakura Pov.

Uchiha. That one name has haunted my past and had been completely forgotten in the present. Until now. When I was younger I believed that the quote "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" had a pretty simple guideline to follow. It turns out that you can only make said lemonade when the lemon is not standing in front of you while you have your chakra sucked dry and when that lemon is not an ice cube, also known as any member of the Uchiha clan. Or in this case one of the only three left.

Three days ago the Akatsuki attacked Konoha in search of Naruto. The amount of deaths was almost unbearable. Who am I kidding it was unbearable and that is the reason I'm caught up in this mess. After two and a half days of nonstop attacks Naruto took off away from Konoha as a way to get the akatsuki away from Konoha and after him instead. Naruto will do anything to protect Konoha and vice versa but nobody had expected him to run and try to take on the remaining members of the akatsuki all on his own.

After the attacks stopped I went out after Naruto before anybody had the chance to catch me and stop me. I was so mad at Naruto for leaving me, he's done it so many times now I don't even think he realizes it. After chasing Sasuke in attempts to bring him back with no luck even after 2 years of training with Pervy sage he made me a promise that no matter what he would not leave me behind and lonely ever again.

After a few hours of trailing Naruto I sensed two strong chakra signals coming at me. I heard the whistle of the kunai before I saw them and ducked as they hit a tree trunk behind me and I back flipped off my branch and onto a lower one just as shuriken pelted the branch where I had just been standing. I heard a 'thunk' and looked up just as two ninja landed on the tree next to me.

The first thing I noticed was the cloak. As soon as I saw the red clouds I knew exactly who they were. Akatsuki. Two akatsuki who I knew all too well stood before me. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki. Kisame came at me in a flash and started using taijutsu and aiming for my vital points causing me to flip, bend, and duck more then i normally would have to had this been any other opponent. As i spent most of my time focusing on Kisame i almost missed the kunai aimed straight for my neck.

As i jump away from the flying projectile i leap right where Kisame has been waiting for me. Caught off guard i stumbled and my first thought was 'I guess my luck for the day has just run out'. My stumble had allowed Kisame to come right up to my face only inches away and before I could register any more the sword Samehada was at my neck and Kisame was smiling in ecstasy as he whispered "have a nice sleep, Pinkie" and pushed the chakra eating sword into the sensitive skin on my neck. My last thought before I was knocked out was inner Sakura saying 'Damn, of all that training and all of our accomplishments in the last few years...and we still lost to a big blue piece of living sushi..."
