Chapter One
Sakura groaned her head feeling like someone was hitting her. She attempted to sit up, but a hand on her shoulder stopped her. Eyes snapping open, startled green meet kind blue.
"Be careful, you are still injured." Sakura jumped to her feet at the strange language, unable to discover what he said.
"Who are you? Where am I?" She asked harshly, watching the old man tilt his head sideways.
"Ah, I see." And with those strange words, he quickly spoke another strange language and waved his stick thing. Unlike the other language he had been speaking, Sakura could feel the power in these words.
"There you go, my dear." Confusion struck her as the once foreign words made perfect sense to her.
"What did you do to me?" She snarled, a kunai appearing in her hand. The man chuckled.
"You are the most hostile women I have ever met. I simply cast a spell that allows you to understand and speak common tongue. My name is Gandalf the Grey. You are?"
"Sakura Haruno." The man's eyebrow shot up at the strange name.
"I take, my dear, you are not from around here?" The question was rhetorical. To say poor Gandalf had been shock when a black hole opened above him and a small girl feel out was an understatement. He was even more shocked when he had gotten a good look at her. Pink, waist length hair coupled with porcelain skin and green eyes created a beauty even the elves would never achieve. If that had not been an indicator that she was from a different world her clothing did. A red vest, tiny black shorts and a white skirt that ended at mid thigh. Had he been anyone else, he would've fainted.
"I… I do not know where I am." Her soft voice came as her hand begun to glow green, healing her injuries.
"You have some explaining to do, little one. And you are a healer, but one I have never seen." The girl nodded, a thoughtful look crossing her face.
"Instead of me telling you, why don't I show you what happened and where I am from?" Sakura watched as the old man mulled over this, before cautiously nodding his head. Quickly she brought her hands together and sped through the hand seals for the Genjutsu.
Screams of pain and death filled the air, making Gandalf shiver. He looked around and his sight was assaulted with hundreds of tiny battles, humans fighting strange white monsters. The humans used hand seals much like Sakura had used to show him this. Roaring fires and strong jets of water flew at the monsters. Just as he realized his companion had disappeared the fighting ceased, and the white monsters disappeared, leaving everyone alone.
"We won!" The cry went up, the happiness palpable. But just as everyone began to relax, a messenger appeared.
"Quickly! We must help! Team seven, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui are fighting Madara, Orochimaru, and Pein! The Kages have fallen, it is our duty to protect them." And with that, the scene changed and he was standing on a mountain to, standing next to Sakura. This Sakura was different though, and was unaware of him.
"Orochimaru." His attention was dragged to a boy with spiky black hair. "I killed you!"
"Ah Sasuke-kun, did you really think I would die that easily?" The man he assumed was Orochimaru laughed, his creepy snake eyes narrowing.
"Naruto, Sasuke, you two handle the pedophile." Sakura spoke, her eyes hard. The black haired boy and a blonde boy nodded. Before she could say anything else, the others attacked.
"Shisui!" The pink haired girl cried, and a man with very short black hair spun around and kicked one of the six orange haired men.
"Sakura. Stay back, we can't lose you." The last man said, his black hair bound back, looking Sakura in the eye before his eyes turned red. He was immediately fighting three orange haired men, like the man named Shisui. The two named Naruto and Sasuke were fighting Orochimaru.
"How touching." Gandalf and Sakura spun around and came face to face with a man with strange black hair and red eyes that spun restlessly. He resembled the three black haired men greatly. "I find it amusing, the fact that Itachi cares for you." He continued, circling her like a predator. "Unfortunately, he will die today, so you will not enter our family."
"Bastard." Sakura hissed, before punching the ground, causing it to erupt in layers of rock and dirt. "You will be the one to die today!" Then the two were attacking each other, fireballs flying and superhuman strength breaking things. Overall, it was a battle of epic proportions. Just as it seemed to be finishing, Sakura having the upper hand, a yell of warning distracted Sakura.
"Sakura! Behind you!" She spun around and blocked one of the orange haired men, sending him sprawling. As she turned back around the man grabbed her and a sword went through her chest. A cry of pain escaped her lips and everyone's attention focused on her. The man with long black hair, Itachi, looked livid.
"Madara." His icy voice sent shivers down Gandalf's back. "You have brought dishonor upon our clan name. You have attacked the great Shinobi villages, hunted our Jinchuriki, killed countless members of the allied shinobi forces, and know have seriously injured the Hokage's apprentice, and heir. Your crimes mean death."
And with that, he attacked, their movements fluid and graceful, yet deadly. Within minutes, Madara was heavily bleeding, but his wounds were disappearing rapidly. Sakura managed to sit up and speak.
"Itachi! Obito, we need to find Obito…" The last of her sentence was drowned out as Madara turned his furious gaze on her, red eyes spinning wildly.
"Bitch!" He snarled savagely. And with that, a strange black hole erupted around her and engulfed her; the screams from everyone watching told Gandalf just how important she was. Then, the strange vision begun to lose focus, and the last thing he saw was Itachi, and he saw horror, worry, and something else in his eyes before all went black.
Gandalf was back to the present. The birds were still singing, the light was still shining, and Sakura was looking at the ground, a sad expression on her face.
"You are from that world?" Gandalf questioned, feeling sorry for her. Sakura nodding worried that if she opened her mouth she would begin to cry. "I have never heard of a world like that, and I have something urgent I must attend to, but if you wish, you may come with me and after it is done we can begin looking for a way to get you home." Gandalf was suddenly being hugged, a shaking girl crying into his shoulder.
"Thank you." She whispered, happy he was willing to help. Unsure what to say, Gandalf simply nodded and let the girl calm down. "If you don't mind, could I go wash off real quickly? I doubt the people you are meeting will take kindly to me tracking blood through their home." Gandalf laughed and nodded.
Sakura quickly ran towards the sound of rushing water and pulled out her sealing scroll, summoning soap, shampoo and conditioner. Jumping into the cool stream she scrubbed the blood away until her skin was a pristine white once again. Then she focused on her hair, soaping it up and rinsing it back to a fine river of pink silk that cascaded down her back. Stepping out of the water, she dried off and pulled out a new set of clothing.
This outfit was different than the one she had had on before. It was a pair of long black ninja pants that tucked into her boots, bandages on her right leg, and a black mesh shirt, the Uchiha symbol displayed proudly on the back. She braided her pink hair and threw it over her shoulder. Satisfied with her look, she pulled out her Anbu clock and put everything away before travelling back to Gandalf.
Gandalf was shocked when she appeared again, in a new change of clothes, because she carried no bag. Deciding it was better not to ask, he motioned her to put her clock on and cover her hair, because, as he explained, pink was not a normal hair color. He then proceeded to lead the way to Rivendell.
