Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto yeah I know what a boring disclaimer I'm to tired


P.O.V

"Sakura I know I cant stop you from pursuing Sasuke, well I know I could stop you I just want to rely on your own sense of judgment on this mission." Tsunade tried to hide the sadness in her voice knowing how predictable Sakura was.

"I know Tsunade-sama you are worried but you have to trust me on this one I know that the real Sasuke is still in there somewhere and I'm going to find him" Sakura turned and made way for he door before she was stopped

"Sakura wait if you are to do this then you must do this alone I can not risk the safety of others for your decision"

"Yes and im sure both Kakashi and Naruto are aware that I'm leaving in the morning" She inwardly sighed remembering Naruto begging her not to go, if it wasn't for Kakashi holding him back he would never of let go. Kakashi wasn't for it either but he had faith in her and she wasn't about to let either of them down.

Bowing before her teacher and one of the most important person in her life especially after her parents past away at such a young age

"Is their anything else Tsunade-sama"

"Yes take these" She through Sakura a pair of hand cuffs. "They are immune to genjutsu, kekkei genkai, ninjutsu and taijutsu."

Sakura examined the hand cuffs and wondered why she had given her such a gift? "Tsunade why do I need these?"

"Love does strange things to people"

End of P.O.V

"Love does strange things to people" she whispered to herself as she packed her belongings.

Sakura stared at the only primary source she had of her team before the uneatable happened. The day her one and only love turned his back on his village, friends and honour. It wasn't like she didn't see this day coming the scars on her heart are still there and the painfully memories still remained after all those years of training it came down to this week. From this day onward she will no longer live with just the memories of Sasuke she will actually go and get him, even at the cost of her life.

It wasn't going to be an easy mission but what shocked her most is that she was to be doing this alone. Ok she was now a qualified jonin and a amazingly skilled medic nin her skills out do her own teachers now not to mention one attractive kunoichi but deep down she felt Naruto and Kakashi should be joining her.

Sakura stepped outside the gates of Konoha "Well there is no turning back now" She hitched her backpack over her right shoulder and channelled a massive amount of chakra to her feet and in a blink of an eye she was off all the forest foliage beneath her feet she gracefully increased her speed and sped up higher and higher until she was met with a clearing.

The breeze in her hair connecting with her face made her relax dramatically, as her mind wondered over so many things.

"Hahaha no mum don't do that im ticklish haha stop please"

Sakura closed her eyes

"Dad guess what I learnt today a clone technique ill show you?"

"Wow Sakura that's amazing im so proud of you"

"Mum Dad" A single tear fell from her eye

"Sakura, Iruka sensei really did have some amazing students"

"Yeah way to go Sakura I always knew you where special"

"Kakashi Naruto"

"I love you, I love you so much that it hurts"

"I know" "Thank you"

"Sasuke" tears started to uncontrollably pour down her cheeks she wiped them away with a firm hand "I must be strong for Mum, Dad, Naruto, Kakashi and most of all for Sasuke" She descended from the trees and began to head north-west to the sound village.

It had been exactly one week that she has been travelling she ate the last of her food on the fourth day and finished her water on the fifth. Sakura wasn't exactly physically exhausted but the blisters on her feet told her otherwise so she stoped at a near by steam to cool off.

"I'm telling you there is water this way" the voice was deep and masculine, it had a hint of anger that made Sakura stand up within seconds, she jumped into the closet tree and crouched.

Two male figures walked out of the forest into the clearing with the river. The first thing that grabbed her attention was the attire, black robes with red clouds Sakura clasped her hand over her mouth trying not to make a sound.

The taller one looked at his partner "Itachi is someone their?" he then knelt down and drunk from the river.

Sakura made a silent gasp as her mouth opened to the name Itachi

"Sasukes brother" Sakura mind mentally screamed at her

"No come we must leave Orochimaru has less patience then I"

"Is that even possible?" His companion questioned with a smirk

Itachi eyed the spot where she was crouching the red sharingan bleeded over Sakura's excistence as she felt herself staring into darkness her body rigid when the coldness swept over her like the wind. Just the look made her feel so vanrable to the darkness as she quickly fell from the tree making sure they werent in sight any more.

Her body was fully exposed but she didn't care her lungs where so heavy she couldn't breath without gasping and coughing. She collapsed on the dirt deep in thought "he saw me I know he did but why didn't he do anything?" Sakura got to her feet ready to follow them "they did say they where going to Orochimaru after all."
