Chapter 1: The Request

Sakura stared in disbelief as Lady Chiyo bent over Sasori, performing the resurrection jutsu. She rushed over, ignoring the sting of her wounds. "Lady Chiyo, what are you doing?" she knelt down next to the

old woman, and gazed in amazement at the transformation taking place in front of her; Sasori's wooden puppet body was becoming smooth skin and flesh. She didn't need to question Lady Chiyo any further.

"Sakura, I feel like I've made too many mistakes in my life…I'm not about to make another one and let my own grandson die." A tear slid down her face as she focused all her chakra on the jutsu. "I'm asking one

more favor before I pass away, Sakura…please look after Sasori for me; make sure he doesn't make any more mistakes like his grandmother." Lady Chiyo gave a small chuckle and her breathing became more

ragged as the end of the jutsu approached. Sakura put her hand on her shoulder. She was planning on stopping Lady Chiyo, but the old lady seemed sure of what she was doing, and Sakura trusted her.

"Thank you, Sakura, farewell." With a last smile, Lady Chiyo fell into Sakura's arms. Sakura noticed that Sasori was awake and breathing, but she didn't care. Neither did she care that she promised herself that

she wouldn't cry anymore. Her tears spilled out. Lady Chiyo had been amazing back then, and she had served as a mentor for Sakura and she had bonded with her when they fought against Sasori, their moves

in sync and Sakura had trusted Lady Chiyo when she allowed her to utilize her as a human puppet. Her sudden death pierced Sakura's heart with grief and sadness. She turned to look at Sasori, who was

sleeping, his chest rising and falling. Her brain then went into hyper mode, formulating a plan that would honor Lady Chiyo's final request and not get her in trouble. She couldn't really work out anything,

considering that Sasori was a wanted criminal. Then she thought of something. She made a Shadow Clone to pick up Lady Chiyo, then stood up, dried her tears, tested her voice a bit, then pushed a button on

the walkie talkie that Guy equipped them with. "Kakashi-sensei?" she waited for a response, which came shortly after. "Yes, Sakura?" Kakashi's sounded as if he was moving really fast and didn't have any breath

to talk. "Kakashi-sensei, it's Lady Chiyo…she didn't make it." "You mean…she's dead?" Kakashi's voice shifted to a shocked and sad tone, and he instantly felt that he needed to be there for Sakura, but not

right now. "Listen, Sakura, I know it's hard for you right now, but you can't do anything reckless, alright? I can't talk very much right now because it's dangerous and we're still chasing Deidara. You have a good

head, Sakura, think of something. Now, I have to go." The radio buzzed off, leaving Sakura confounded as to why she didn't tell Kakashi-sensei about Sasori. She was about to contact him again, but then she

decided that Kakashi was too busy right now and she could handle it. She then noticed that Sasori was starting to come to. She walked over to him carefully not sure whether he was still powerful, but then

relaxed when she noticed that his chakra levels were low, he was weak and defenseless right now, since his human body was going to take some accustoming to. "Am I dead?" Sasori's voice came out raspy.

"No, Lady Chiyo gave her life to resurrect you, and so now you're human." Sakura responded. Sasori's eyes shot wide open. 'What? He was human now?How did that brat…ugh...too tired." He thought as his

body demanded sleep, but he fought it in order to gain more answers. "Why did that old bat do that?" Sakura's eyes narrowed. "Because she loved you! She also told me to look after you, but I'm going to go

take her body to Sunagakure, then I'm heading to Konoha. Once you're better, I'll have fulfilled my promise to her." "Why on earth would I go with you?" Sasori's voice was incredulous. "Alright, then, you have

two options: go to Sunagakure and get executed probably, or come with me and be safe." Sasori scowled at her. "Fine." He snapped. "Fine what?" Despite what happened, Sakura felt a tug at the corner of her

mouth. "I'll go with you." Sasori growled. His eyelids started fluttering, and the last thing he noticed before he drifted off was Sakura picking him up. 'No, brat, don't…' he fell asleep before he could voice his

objection.
