Chapter 1 Paths
------------------------------------------------
"Yes Tsunade Sama?" Sakura stood up straight infront of Tsunade. "Sakura!" Tsunade was about to report the mission she continued, "I need you for a very special mission." Sakura wondered about it in her head, "Yes?" Sakura was beginning to loose confidence after seeing Tsunade's face wich looked worried. Tsunade continued, "You need to first find Sasuke..and kill him." Sakura was speechless and she wore a shocked expression on her face. "Oh and you must bring Naruto with you." Sakura put on a fake smile, "Thank you Tsunade Sama, we'll leave as soon as we can." With that Sakura ran out of the room to tell Naruto.
---------------------------------------------
'What kind of a mission is this? How can I do this?' Sakura had thousands of questions racing through her mind. While she ran she bumped into someone. "Oh..hi Tenten." Sakura greeted as she stood up. "Hey Sakura." Sakura smiled, "Sorry Tenten but I need to get Naruto for a mission. Tenten looked a little surprised. "Oh, ok" Tenten responded. "Bye!" Sakura called as she ran off. "Bye." Tenten said softly.
Sakura knocked on Naruto's door. "Naruto!" She exclaimled from behind the door. Naruto opened the door. "Sakura?" Naruto was surprised that Sakura was there. Sakura just grabbed his arm and dragged him outside. "Naruto.You and I have been selected for a mission." Naruto smiled, "What mission?" he asked curiously. Sakura hesitated, "Umm.. we.. well first we have to find Sasuke.." Naruto's smile got bigger. "..And then we..we have..to..um k-kill him.." Naruto's smile faded away. "What?!"Naruto could barely say anything, "And..you're exactly going to do this?" Sakura looked away, "Just get ready we have to leave as soon as possible" Naruto didn't respond. "Okay?" Sakura made sure he underdtood. "Yeahh..wait out hear." and with that Naruto walked back inside and shut the door behind him. Sakura breathed a sigh and sat against the wall by the door. 'Will I really..really.. k-kill him?' Just at the sound of the word, kill, Sakura shivered. She couldn't stand that word. It was full of memories and sorrow. Sakura could just barely say it.
When Naruto came out he saw Sakura sitting against the wall with her arms wrapped around her legs he began to worry. "Sa-ku-ra- chan!" he said in a cheery voice. Sakura looked up at Naruto, disconnected with her thoughts. "i'm ready" Sakua nodded at Naruto's words and stood up. They both began walking to the Konoha exit.
-----------------------------------------------
Do you think it was a good idea to make Sakura and Naruto do this mission?" Tsunade asked Shizune. Shizune looked at Tsunade and Tonton snorted. "I don't know. She never complained about it or anything." Shizune responded wondering what Tsunade could be talking about. Tsunade nodded a flipped through pages.
------------------------------------------------
Sakura and Naruto were running on the track. "Are we really going to do this?" Sakura asked. Naruto turned to look at her. "We don't have much of a choice.." Naruto said trailing off. Sakura was still wondering about what she should do.
BAM!
Sakura bumped into someone. She was rubbing her forehead and looking up. "Whaa.. Kakashi Sensei?!" She called when she saw Kakashi standing in front of her. "Sakura, Naruto." Kakashi said their names concerned. "Yes?" both Naruto and Sakura said at the same time. "What are you guys doing?" "We're going on a mission." Naruto responded with a voice that read, "duh!" Kakashi was still wondering, "What mission?" Naruto frowned and told Kakashi. "What!?" Kakashi almost shouted. Then he looked down at Sakura and saw her face. "Oh,no." He knew this wasn't going to be good. 'How can they do this? Will Sakura be able to do this?' Kakashi thought doubtfully. "Well..see ya Kakashi sensei." Naruto said pulling Sakura off along to the Sound village.
Since they had already been on a mission to the Sound village, they knew exactly where it was. Sakura, especially, had memorized every sing turn and corner. So they ran and ran until they became tired and night had come. Sakura lay against a tree and Naruto against the oppisite side. Naruto soon fell asleep. Sakura was still awake thinking about Sasuke and what she would do. She stared up at the starry sky. No matter how hard she tried to stop thinking of Sasuke, his face never left her mind.
That night, seemed like forever and both Naruto and Sakura had nightmares about the mission. It was a very cold night, but the next morning was much warmer. So they continued on there trip to go to Orochimaru's lair.
As soon as they arrived, behind trees and bushes they thought up a plan. "So.. we could wait until nightime, although they wouldn't expect it as much if they went during the daytime." Naruto explained. Sakura nodded trying her best to pay attension. Naruto continued, "We can just go soon, and then.." Naruto paused to think. "..Then, we can sneak in-- we know most of the traps so that won't be so hard-- we can sneak in during night time when they're sleeping and.. k-ki--ll-- Sasuke in his s-sleep.." Naruto looked at the dirt. Sakura nodded. "Ok. We'll wait here for now then."
So they did exactly that. They waited and waited until the sun set and looked back over at the mansion. Awhile later Naruto whispered, "Should we go now?" Sakura paused and thought. "..Ok." And with that they sneaked inside.
