Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1

The afternoon rays of the sun beat down on the top of the pink-haired kuniochi's head. Sakura had been traveling for a week now to the Fire Country. She was on a mission. It was just like any other mission, but only thing difference was that she was assigned to it by herself. No Naruto, no rookie 9, no one. Tsunade-sama rarely gave her missions because she was needed so much back in Konoha. She was needed 24/7 in the hospital because she Konoha's top kuniochi and top medic-nin.

"Yeah, that's what I get for being Konoha's top medic-nin, nonstop hours at the hospital," thought Sakura as she went through her conversation with Tsunade-sama about the mission before she left.

"Knock Knock"

"Come in Sakura," said Tsunade as she cleared some paperwork on her desk.

"Tsunade-sama, why did you call me to your office?" asked Sakura.

"Sakura, I'm sorry I'm telling you on such short notice, but you are assigned to a solo mission to the Fire Country," said Tsunade.

"No, it's alright. What is the mission about, sensei?" asked Sakura as she sat herself down in a chair.

"Well, there is this rumor going around villages that a group of ninjas planning to attack Konoha. To tell if what we're hearing is a rumor or not, you need to go to the Fire Country and do a little snooping," said Tsunade.

"Snooping? What do you mean by snooping?" asked Sakura.

"Over the past few weeks, we've tracked down a ninja that works under the guy who's in charge. He's in the Fire Country to do some errands for his boss, so you'll go to the Fire Country and follow him around, gathering information as much as you can. Once you're done that, come right back to Konoha with the information," said Tsunade.

"Hmm... it doesn't seem that hard. Is it okay if I do a little interrogating- ninja-style?" asked Sakura with a evil grin on her face.

"Hmm... you may, as long as you hide your headband and true appearance. You never know what might happen," said Tsunade.

Hai, Tsunade- sama. Oh, I almost forgot, when should I leave?" asked Sakura.

"First thing tomorrow morning, Sakura, and good luck my apprentice," said Tsunade.

"Hai, Tsunade-sama. I won't let you or Konoha down," said Sakura as she stood up to leave.

"Sakura, just as much as you are an apprentice to me, you are a daughter figure to me. Please be safe when you're on this mission. No matter what happens to you on this mission, I believe that you will pull through and get home safely," said Tsunade with a concerned look on her face.

"Hai, Tsunade-sama. Wish me luck," said Sakura as she smiled at her sensei and left the Hokage Tower.

End of Flashback

"Hmm... I wonder why Tsunade-sama was so worried about me. It doesn't seem that hard of a mission," said Sakura as she jumped from branch to branch.

After a while, Sakura stopped and rested. She thought about all the past things that had happened to her and came upon one hilarious memory.

Flashback

Team 7 was on a mission to the Sand Village where they had to get a scroll for Tsunade. It turned dark and they had to stop and rest for the night. Sakura prepared ramen for the team and handed them out.

"Ramen, again? This is our third time eating ramen," whined Kakashi as he grabbed his bowl of ramen.

"Stop complaining Kakashi-sensei! Once we get to the Sand Village, we'll get food other than ramen," said Sakura as she went over to Sasuke.

"Here Sasuke-kun," said Sakura as a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Hn," said Sasuke as he quickly grabbed the bowl of ramen.

Sakura then walked to Naruto, who was eager to accept the bowl of ramen.

"Here you go Naruto," said Sakura.

"RAMEN!! Arigato, Sakura-chan!!" said Naruto with a big smile on his face.

"I don't know how the boy can love ramen so much," said Kakashi as he slurped up a noodle.

"Hn, the dobe can't last one day without ramen," said Sasuke, loud enough for his team to hear.

"What did you say teme? Why you-" said Naruto as he stood up and walked over to Sasuke.

But all of a sudden, Naruto tripped on a branch on the ground with the ramen spilling everywhere, including Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun, what about your dinner?" asked Sakura.

"Just give it to dobe," said Sasuke.

"Yay!!" said Naruto as he quickly consumed Sasuke's untouched ramen.

End of Flashback

"Wow, I laughed so hard that day that my stomach hurt like crazy. Then the look on Sasuke's face when the ramen landed on him- hilarious!" thought Sakura as she smirked.

But then, the smirk disappeared as she thought about Sasuke. Him leaving her, Konoha, and Team 7 ached and pained her heart.

"The cold-hearted bastard! Why would he do this to me? Why would he leave me in pain? In tears? I know, he didn't care about any of us, all he cared about was avenging his clan and gaining power," thought Sakura.

"Do I even love him anymore? If he does come back, will I be there to welcome him with open arms?" thought Sakura.

"There's no point in gaining hope. I'm never going to see him again and he's never coming back," said Sakura, sighing as she stood up to continue her way to the Fire Country.

"Oh no!! My precious ramen!!" said Naruto as he started to tear up.

"Sasuke-kun! Look at you!" said Sakura, trying so hard not to laugh at him.

The ramen noodles were everywhere on Sasuke, his hair, arms, legs, everywhere. Kakashi started to laugh hysterically. Sakura, not being able to hold back, started laughing like crazy.

"Dobe! Look at what you've done! You always create a mess, don't you!" said Sasuke as he stood up to go change.

"I'm sorry, teme, really," said Naruto with sadness on his face of losing his precious ramen.

"Urgh, I'm going to sleep, I'm not eating anymore," said Sasuke as he disappeared into his tent.
