Prologue
It was time. She was strong enough to do this. Now was the best time anyway, right? There was no Naruto to stop her, no Kakashi to either to tell her everything was going to be okay. Tsunade had told her no, that she was not to do it, but really Tsunade couldn't stop her either.
Sakura Haruno was going to The Village of Sound. She was going to give Orochimaru want he wanted. She would no longer falter, she was sixteen and tired of standing in the background. Orochimaru needed a medic to heal his arms and she needed to find out who her family was and if they were dead or alive. Orochimaru knew that Sakura was far stronger than Tsunade in both healing and strength.
As she reached the village gates, she stopped. She looked back one final time at the village she had called home. Then she whispered finals good-byes, turned around and never looked back again. She had no regrets.
