(AN) Hello everybody! I've decided to write a strong!sakura fanfic! Well this is where she travels back in time.. Anyway I hope you enjoy and please I would love some constructive criticism. Well without further ado ..

Ch. 1 The dead and the Dying

A burst of chakra to my feet helped me move fairly faster to the battle ground. My friends are in danger and I'm not faring any better. I did a quick status update on my current self.

Name: Haruno Sakura

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Ninja Rank: Sannin

Current Physical Injuries: 3 cracked ribs, useless left arm and oh yeah…half blind and deaf.

Current situation: Completely screwed if I don't get there in time.

I ran as fast as I could possibly go stumbling occasionally over bodies. Looking to my left I see something rushing me. Pulling my katana out I slice through who ever thought it was a good idea to try and fight me. I'm not trying to be arrogant here I just need to get to my boys. Fast. And I'd be dammed if I let anyone get in my way. Slicing my way over to them I can feel the burning red liquid gushing over me. It doesn't bother me that much anymore, I've already hardened my heart.

Looking around at my surroundings I can see it all. Half of them dead already. I can smell the burning bodies; I can hear the agonized screams. I can see nothing but utter hell unravel right before my un-gouged eye. Naruto and Sasuke are currently fighting Madara and Obito. I have enough strength for one or two more shots. My friends, Ino, Kiba, Choji, Neji, Lee, Ten-ten and a myriad of others are all dead; if they aren't dead they're dying in the most physically and mentally painful way. My only chance to help my boys, my friends, to end this war is only meters away.

As I stand by my surrogate family, I vaguely note how poorly they're doing. Naruto's suffering from chakra exhaustion; Sasuke's lost an arm and I believe his vision is shot by the way his eyes are unfocused, and lastly kakashi...He's dead, laying off to the right eyes open and lifeless.

Madara and Obito are preparing for an attack, as are Naruto and Sasuke. It seems they're going to attack at the same time…I look in between the pairs and suddenly know what to do. I need to give my boys an opening for an attack. Rushing forward to the enemy, I could see Naruto and Sasuke's surprise along with the readied attack of the enemy. Releasing my yin seal and pouring my chakra into my entire

right arm, my team flanking me, I launch forward acting as a barrier for the attack simultaneously throwing no doubt the hardest punch I could muster at them. Then it happened; Naruto and Sasuke's jutsus hit. My world erupted into an array of light, screams and pain.

"SAKURA! NO! SAKURA!" vaguely, I can hear someone screaming my name…probably someone blonde.

"Medic! We need a Medic now!" I don't get it. Don't they know I'm going to die? Don't they get that I died for them? I thought they understood that when I rushed in right before them. I tried to say something along the lines or 'Don't worry' but it came out at a coughing gurgle with a strong iron taste.

My world yet again fades to black.

'is this what death feels like? I feel kind of stuffy and somewhat drowned. But the thing I'm confused over is why can I feel?'

"…She….alr…" Picking up something that sounds oddly enough like words.

"Going…live?..."Hmm am I still alive? I don't think I would be able to hear anyone if I was dead. Then again I've never been dead before. Soo…. Then where am I? Am I on enemy territory? If so why go through all the trouble of keeping me alive when they could get a perfectly alive vessel and not a three quarters dead organ. Hmm.. which leads me to believe that maybe I'm not being held captive.

"Sakura..Going to be alright…Dattebayo!" Ah. That explains it. But shouldn't he know that I want to be dead? Shouldn't he know that I did that so he can live? What's the point of his heart dying? He's be a living ghost…almost the same as me. I have to tell him.

My throat is dry and feels like something died in it…oh wait. "Naru…listn.." It has hard even just to move my tongue as I slurred. "Live for me." Warm. My hand feels warm..coming to the conclusion he's holding my hand.

"Sakura you're going to be just fine! The medics will patch you up and you'll be as good as new!" His voice is positively dripping with false cheerfulness only to be proven when his voice cracks at the end.

"No.." Not much to say at this point. I'm going to die. I know it. I can feel that tug. "Naruto. Live for me..I'll be watching…dattebayo." I muster up enough energy to at least think a smile. So much for living long huh? Oh well... what good would the world do with a broken, shattered soul.

Sooo thats the first chapter! Let me know what you think! And thank you so so much for reading!
