Inner Sakura

Chapter 1: Sasuke

After Naruto was taken, Sakura was practically comatose. She didn't know what to do now. Sasuke was gone, Naruto was gone... Hinata was hurt badly because she insisted on trying to get Naruto away from Pein. She was obviously in charge of healing her, but she was upset now. Naruto woke up only for a short time while Hinata was distracting Pein. When he was awake and surprised at Hinata's bravery, Hinata finally told him how she felt about him.

Obviously Naruto was shocked, but since he had hardly any energy, Kyuubi took over. Pein was indeed in trouble, but the one member of Akatsuki who had that orange mask arrived and somehow calmed the beast inside him down. Gai-sensei's team arrived, but they were unable to save Naruto. However, Sakura saw something. She swore that Sasuke and three other people were watching them, but walked away.

Neji was worried about his cousin, but Sakura assured him she was going to be fine. When she was finished, she left her to heal... then she woke up...

"NARUTO-KUN!" she gasped as she woke up.

"Hinata, its alright..." Sakura responded.

"Where's Naruto-kun!" she asked again.

Sakura sighed. "He's... gone..." she said. "Some guy came in to get him."

Hinata started crying, and Neji who was in the room held her. Sakura left before she could help. She went to Tsunade-sama to tell her that Hinata was awake. But before she came into the room she heard Danzo and the other councilors talking.

"We need to deal with him right away." she heard Danzo say. "It'll be too dangerous for him to be out there. It would be the only way to get Naruto back."

"What about the man in the orange mask? Sasuke didn't try to get Naruto. What if he's working with them on the inside?"

"That man is Madara Uchiha." he responded. Sakura gasped along with everyone else who was in the room. They all thought he was dead. Then Danzo continued..."That man has convinced him by now that we are a threat to him. He is a very convincing man. There is no use to try to gain him back to the village. He is an Akatsuki now and needs to be eliminated."

At these words, Sakura was in shock. Sasuke in Akatsuki? That's right... when she saw him she was wearing a black cloak with red clouds. Why was he doing this? The Sasuke she knew would have never taken up what his brother did. He would never hurt Naruto... then again, he did try to kill him twice. Sakura thought it was just because of the curse mark Orocimaru gave him... but... could he of actually turned totally against Konoha?

Sakura was so overwhelmed with all of this that she couldn't take it anymore. She blacked out. The next thing anyone ever knew was that she was on the ground.
