(A.N./) I can't promise you that I'll update every day, week, month, or even once a year. But I will tell you that I'll update as soon as I can. So on with the disclaimer, and then to the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. But this story and storyline are all mine! You can't have them, but if you want to write a story kinda like this one, then E-mail me, and ASK!!!

One day, in team 7's normal training grounds, a boy, of about 17 years old, was training until he couldn't breathe anymore. Well, he was just training really hard.

"Why wasn't I strong enough?" said the boy as he was ruthlessly trying to destroy a nearby tree, "Why couldn't I do something? Why? Why couldn't I help her?"

Tears fell from onyx eyes as the boy stopped what he was doing and just fell to the ground. He tried to get up, but he put so much strain on his body that he couldn't move. Breathing heavily, he was shaking while turning himself over to lay on his back. "Why can't I get any stronger?" he thought as he pulled himself up and leaned on the tree he almost destroyed.

Suddenly, someone called his name. "SASUKE! SASUKE!" he heard. He knew who it was so he was trying to wipe the tears he let fall. "Sasuke! Am I glad I found you."

"What do you want?" Sasuke asked coldly. Still trying to wipe the tears, and his voice was breaking.

"Well, Tsunade-baa-chan got some news to where Sakura-chan is. She told me not to tell you, but I had to because I know you'd kill me if I hadn't told you and you found out some other way. And I - are you crying?" Do you know who this kid is yet?

"Shut up! Baka." As the wind blew, sunshine yellow and ebony hair flew around. Sasuke jumped away towards the Hokage's tower, and Naruto could've sworn he heard a 'thank-you' come from Sasuke, but he wasn't sure, so he didn't think about it too much.

Sasuke didn't even knock, he almost broke the hinges off the door to get into the room, the Hokage's room that is. "What, are you crazy?" Tsunade asked the boy standing in front of her, his face completely red, and his eyes wet from how much he'd been crying.

"Where is she?" Sasuke asked as he went straight up to Tsunade, and grabbed her by the collar. "Where is Sakura? Tell me NOW!" Sasuke started to cry again. Seeing this Tsunade tried to calm him down, and tried to get him off of her. (A.N. Notice the "tried")

"Calm down Sasuke," Tsunade said in a calming yet demanding way.

"First off," she started once the boy was calmed as much to get him off her and seated. "I don't know exactly where she is, but we are getting close. She can't be too far from where we are searching. And I-"

"Where?! Where are you sending people to search for her?!" Sasuke so rudely interrupted the Hokage as she continued to speak.

The Hokage sat back in her chair, she was holding a large bottle of sake in her right hand, and in her left was a peice of paper. "I can't give you that information. And if I did, I know what would happen, you would so stupidly go after her, and I KNOW YOU CAN'T HANDLE HIM!" Tsunade started raising her voice.

"I DON'T CARE!" Sasuke was at Tsunade's collar again, "I'D KILL MYSELF JUST TO GET HER BACK!"

"And what exactly do you think that would do for her? Especially in the state she's in," Sasuke was taken aback a bit by Tsunade's statement.

Sasuke sat back down in the seat across from Tsunade and said, "I know, but if he finds out," sasuke paused for a moment, "Who knows what he-"

The door, to the Hokage's office, opened. "Tsunade-sama we're here and ready to go look for Sakura. All we need is-" The person that said that was Neji, and trailing close behind him was Hinata, Lee, and Naruto.

"Idiot" Tsunade mummbled bearly audible, but Sasuke managed to hear it.

Sasuke was ready to explode when Hinata cut in. "Tsunade-sama, why can't we take Sasuke with us. I'm sure it would be good for him, and keeping him away from trying to find Sakura-chan isn't going to do any good. Because you know he's just going to go look for her himself if you don't make it an official mission." Sasuke was staring at Hinata wondering what she was doing, and why she was trying to help him.

"Why would she help me? What is she trying to do? Probably prevent any damage I'd do to Tsunade. Hokage or not, I'd kill her if it meant to get Sakura back." Sasuke was so caught up in his own thoughts that he didn't hear what was said.

"Oi, but Tsunade-baa-chan, why?" Naruto asked sad to what she had apparently said. Sasuke looked around and saw Tsunade with a defeated look on her face, Hinata with a happy smile, Naruto saddened, Lee as happy as ever, and Neji's face was expressionless. "I thought you said that Sasuke wasn't going no matter what."

"Well that was before someone told him what happened and that we got some new information to her whereabouts." Tsunade explained. Tenten, Lee, and Neji looked at Naruto and shook their heads from side to side. Naruto laughed nervously. "Ok. Sasuke go pack up and meet these three at the gate." Sasuke nodded a 'yes' and headed home.

Neji, Naruto, Lee, and Tenten waited by the front gate, waiting for Sasuke. When he finally arrived, he saw two other people. "Who are they?" Sasuke thought to himself. When he got closer he saw Gaara and Temari. "What are they doing here? And where's Kankurou if they're here?" He got to the gate and stopped.

Gaara told Sasuke, "We insisted on coming when Tsunade told us what was going on."

"We Gaara?" Temari said, with a you-know-you-wanted-to-go-'cause-the-girl-you-like-is-in-trouble kind of look. Gaara cleared his throat, and Sasuke just stood there, trying to ignor what he just heard and realized.

"The Kazekage? And Sakura? I didn't even know Gaara liked anyone. I never thought he would. He doesn't seem like the kind that would like anyone. And I don't mean that only because he had a demon inside him that isolized him from ever having feelings for other people." Sasuke sighed. "Can we get going now?"

The team of 7 people headed out towards their destination, with no idea of what was in store for them.

"So what do you plan to do with her?"

"Don't worry. You have no real reason to know your just nosy."

A 'hmph' was heard.

Tsunade, drunk as ever, layed on her desk half asleep, failed to hear the knock on her almost broken door. It was Kakashi. He figured she was drunk, so he walked in and over to the desk she was laying on. "Tsunade-sama. Have you seen Sasuke?"

Tsunade was so drunk she gargled her answer so it sounded like, "sarsukge igsr wgirtghg Ggarir'gs tgreragmrg."

"Could you please say that again?" he asked her.

She replied, "sajsfuakne fias wpivtnhqu Grajiw'sl tyekazmb."

"Ok, that was worse. I give up."And with that he walked out, and ran into Kankurou. "Hmm? What are you doing here?"

"Err- my brother and sister told me to stay here with the Hokage, while he went on his mission to save Sakura. Personally I don't know why he even cares about her. In my opinion whatever is gonna heppe-" Kankurou answered.

"Did Sasuke go with them?" Kakashi asked, hands on kankurou's shoulders, shaking him.

"I think so. Why?" Kankurou couldn't get his answer because Kakashi was already on his way to find the search party.

"So, Hinata?" Sasuke started a conversation with her. "Why'd you do that?"

"Hmm...? Well, really it was for Sakura's sake," she chuckled, "I know you would react by attacking Tsunade, and then she would have to defend herself. My point is, someone would get hurt, and I didn't want to have to be the one to tell Sakura what happened."

"..." Sasuke pondered over this for a moment, "Thanks."

Hinata looked over at him, and he sped up to catch up with Naruto, who was currently in front of her. She just kept following, she thought she heard a 'thanks' but she wasn't entirely sure, so she just left it alone.

Kakashi was at a high speed chase. Well, he was really just trying to find Sasuke and the others, but to him it was like a life or death mission. "Where are they...?" he asked himself, "maybe the smart thing I could've done was to get the directions from Tsunade...I'm so stupid."

Suddenly, something fell from the sky.

I know, I know, it was kinda short, but I promise that the next one will be longer, I just wanted to get something up. I can't tell you how I got this idea, but I knew that I needed to make a fanfiction for it.

If anyone has any questions for me, just put up a comment and ask.

Also, I'm waiting for at least 5 comments before I update.
