Me: Hello hello ~nya! This is my second fanfiction, and it's a Pein/Sakura story ~nya! I know he's dead, but as said in the intro thingy. . .

Me: Nagato also has all his bodies back, so YAY ~NYA! Please send me a message if you want your OC character(only 1) included ~nya! NOW ONTO THE STORY! XD


It has been 2 months since the war ended, 1 month since Naruto's and Sasuke's fight, and also 1 month since Sasuke came back to the village. "Sakura-chan? Got a minute?" Naruto said from his non-blood related sister's office door. With a vague smile, Sakura motioned for him to enter.

"Hi Naruto-kun. How's Hinata-chan?"

"She's good. And you?"

"Same. Alright, I'll meet you and Sasuke at the training grounds. Sai might come too." Sakura says while putting some paperwork away. The village's saver nods and walks off. I wonder how Kakashi-sensei is doing? The silver-haired jounin has been stuck in the hospital for unknown reasons. "Better go check on him before I leave." It was funny really. Kakashi hated hospitals, and yet he got stuck in them more then anyone else she knew.

"Come in Sakura." Kakashi called through the door. The medic nin opened the door to reveal Kakashi reading a worn out make-out paradise book. "Aren't you supposed to meet Naruto, Sasuke, and Sai at the training ground today?"

"I'm checking on you before I go. It's not like we can figure out what's wrong with you if we don't examine you thoroughly." Her right index finger glows green and Sakura slides it up one of his arms.

"Hey Ugly. What took you so long?" Sai said as Sakura walked up. A vein popped on her forehead at the nickname Sai insisted he call her.

"Hospital stuff. Now then, how long were they going at it?" She pointed a thumb behind her at the two sparring behind her. Naruto and Sasuke.

"Ever since they got here, which was 20 minutes and 36 seconds ago exactly."

"Right. Okay, ready?" The pink-haired kunoichi and the ex-Root ANBU member got into fighting positions. "GO!"

(With Akatsuki)

Pein glared at the wall in front of him. This new member had taught Madara how to revive the dead without killing his or herself, which means that she could be stronger then Madara was. And what she possesses is one of a kind. Only she has both kyuubi chakra and sharingan. "Leader-sama, did you call me?" A female voice rang through the small room. The purple-gray eyes darted toward the door of his office. There stood the very woman he was trying to figure out, black hair with red streaks, a tight fitting Akatsuki cloak on, and black cat ears on her head and a cat tail sticking out of a whole cut into the cloak.

"Yes, I did. Take a seat." her black eyes seemed to glow in the pitch black darkness of the room. Like cat eyes. "I have a mission for you, but first, how did you learn that reviving jutsu?"

Jolynn smirked. "I developed it myself. Actually, its more like I improved the jutsu from that old woman from Suna." Pein's mouth formed a frown. "What? Something troubling you?" she snapped her fingers and a fire floated above her finger, showing the whisker-like marks on her face.

"It's nothing. Now then, the mission is simple. I want you to find a worthy apprentice for you in case you die." A snort from Jolynn kept him from continuing. "Whether you die in battle or die of age, he or she will take your place as top medic."

"I can't die of age, and not even Madara could defeat me in battle. In return for teaching him the reviving jutsu, he gave me the secret to immortality. My dear Pein, I'll get an apprentice, but she would become the second top medic, never top. Unless I leave." And with that Jolynn reverse-summoned herself somewhere out of Pein's rain.

"She's a hand full." a deep voice came from outside the door. Itachi. "She nearly killed me when you called her. Why does she hate me?" the now oldest living Uchiha came into the office.

"I don't understand her at all. She has a split personality, show Jolynn is hard to read. And she's to serious compared to her brother," Pein nodded.

"Yes she is. But the boy can also be serious. Like when he confronted your real body."

"True as that is, Jolynn is a killing machine. She can have no emotion, but when she does is only when she reads." A weird one indeed. Pein thought as he compared the S rank rogue to the blonde chuunin that was her brother. "She's a mystery, Uzumaki Jolynn is."

(Within Konoha)

"Sakura, Sasuke, Sai, wanna go for ramen?" Naruto asked. It was evening, and the group of 4 just stopped training.

"Sure why not." Sakura answered.

"Alright Dick-less, I'll go." a vein popped on Naruto's forehead.

"No thanks. I've had enough ramen since I returned to last me a lifetime."

"Aw come on teme, you could just come along." Naruto begged.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because I'm sick of eating ramen for now, thats why."

"Come on! Just come with us."

"I said no."

"Pl-"

"STOP FIGHTING!" Sakura yelled. The bickering between Naruto and Sasuke was getting on her nerves. The two boys stopped, but glared at each other instead. "Sasuke, you don't have to eat any ramen, just come along. Or else Naruto won't leave you alone." a grunt was her response, signaling that he'd come along.

"But I'm not getting anything to eat."

"That's fine teme." Naruto slapped his companion's back, receiving a growl from Sasuke.

"Idiots." it came from somewhere within the shadows. A feminine voice, vaguely familiar.

"W-who said that?" Sakura said.

"No one in particular, just another kunoichi." Anko stepped out from beneath a tree, smirking.

"Anko sensei! What are you doing here?" Naruto sighed in relief.

"Tsunade-sama wishes to speak with you all and Kakashi. Speaking of which, where is the copy ninja?" Anko yawned.

"Don't know Anko, maybe he's reading his book somewhere." Sai replied, already walking toward the Hokage's office. With a nod, the purple-haired ninja ran off in search for Kakashi.

"Lets go then." Sasuke started walking toward their destination.

A few minutes later, they were outside the office. With a knock from Naruto, they enter. "You wanted us Shishou?" Sakura bowed respectfully, in time with the others.

"Yes, but we'll wait for Kakashi to get here." Tsunade started to re-read a piece of paper in her hand, then nodded. Kakashi enters the room and bows, putting a worn-out orange book into his pocket.

"Hokage-sama." the silver-haired jounin stands straight, right next to Sai.

"Good, now that your all here, I gotta mission for you. It's an information gathering mission, and if necessary a capture mission." the Hokage handed Kakashi the paper she was reading not to long ago. "There have been rumors that the Akatsuki is either starting back up, or all the members were revived. And a new member has joined."

"Hai." the group of 5 said in unison.

"Now then, dismissed!"


Me: So how was it ~nya?

Pein: Please R and R. And hopefully the chapters will be longer in the future.

Both: Ja ne.
