Disclaimer: Sigh I don't own Naruto

Naruto POV

We ran through the forest as we could and pumped as much chakra we could into our legs. We are running to a secret Akatsuki hide-out that Sakura-chan had been abducted and taken too. She was on a long term mission in sound under cover when she was kidnapped to try to lure Tsunade baa-chan and me to sound. We never heard of her for months until one of her slugs that told us of her where abouts. She has been tortured non-stop and we have tried constantly to save her until recently we learned she escaped. She was in a clearing not far from Konoha, while we ran I thought about the time when we first heard Sakura was not in Konoha.

Flashback

I finally got the bastard back into Konoha. I can't wait to see Sakura-chan's face when she sees we're back. I have been gone for three years training, and I left to look for Sasuke-teme. We have been gone for five years all together. I want to see how much Sakura-chan has changed. We made it to the gates and were instantly surrounded by anbus.

"Oi, let me through. Uchiha! Uzimaki! My office now!" Baa-chan yelled. We followed her to her office while still surrounded by anbu. When we were in her office I zoned out and didn't listen to what she was saying. My thoughts drifting off to what happened between the teme and his brother. I was brought out of my thoughts when a book connected with my face and I landed on the ground.

"Naruto! Were you even listening to me?"

"Hehe hai I was!" I said with a sheepish smile on my face.

"Then what did I just say?" She said and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Ano…It was about…Ramen! Yeah about ramen!" Another book hit me and Tsunade baa-chan was yelling at me again.

"No baka! I was discussing your probation that you will have for six months with Kakashi!"

"But baa-chan why can't we have probation with Sakura-chan?" I asked sitting up off of the ground. I saw baa-chan's facial expression go from one full of anger to one filled with sadness. "W-what happened to Sakura-chan"

"She has been missing for four months, after I sent her on a long term S-ranked solo mission"

"What? Why the hell would you send her on an S-ranked solo mission? Teme don't just stand there! Say something!"

"Hn" He grunted and just leaned his back against the wall. I couldn't say anything else as Tsunade picked me up by the collar of my shirt and glared at me.

"I will have you know Naruto! That Sakura is one of my top students, the best medic-nin I have ever seen out of all the hidden villages, slug sanin, and an anbu captain!"

"What Sakura-chan an anbu captain?"

"Why would you let a weakling like her be an anbu captain" The teme said without moving an inch from his spot. Baa-chan dropped me to the floor and glared at him.

"Teme! She obviously isn't weak anymore!"

"Hn" then all of a sudden through the window came in a big slug that was panting and yelling for Tsunade's attention.

"Hai what is it?"

"Sakura-san was kidnapped a few months ago by an un-known Akatsuki member, and has been tortured non-stop since. She has managed to escape but she is badly injured she is thirty miles from the Konoha gate. She has injuries that have kept her from going any farther. She needs help right away." The slug said.

"Hai go back to her and tell her help will be coming right away." The slug poofed away back to Sakura. I can't believe Sakura has been going through being tortured and a captive of the Akatsuki and is still alive. Tsunade clutched and over her heart and had a pained look in her eye.

"Baa-chan! Send me and Sasuke to help her! Please she could be dying!"

"No Naruto you are on probation." A team of anbu poofed into the office soon after listening to Tsunade barking commands and soon all of them leaving. I didn't care what she said I was going to help her no matter what baa-chan said. I grabbed the teme's arm and ran out the door. I didn't bother listening to baa-chan or Sasuke's complaints I was going to go help her. I am not losing any of the family I have I just got Sasuke back and I won't lose another.

End Flashback.

We made it to the clearing…I saw her she was laying on the ground her face twisted in pain and her body was covered in blood, cuts, bruises, senbons, kunais, and a katana pierced through her body. Her chakra signature was barely even noticeable. I ran over to her with tears in my eyes and picked her up. She smiled weakly at me and spoke hesitantly.

"Naruto, Sasuke" She gave us a small grin then spoke again. "I-I guess there are some things not even an anbu captain can do." She smiled at us again and her eye lids began to close. No! I won't let her die on us. I handed her over to Sasuke and we began running back to Konoha. Tears were running down my face as I hoped for Sakura's life. Not even Sasuke could hide his sadness.
