Sakura looked at her destroyed village. It just wasn't fair! Naruto fell in the Akatsuki's trap, and got captured. Sakura tried with all her might to get him back, but one of them knocked her out. When she woke up, they were far gone. She searched everywhere, but never found a trail to lead her to Naruto.
She ended up crying on the forest floor. After awhile, she convinced herself that crying wasn't going to help her at all. She slowly got up and went back to her village. What she saw freighted her.
Then she remembered something that Tsunade told her.
"Sakura." Tsunade started. She was upset, more then upset.
It puzzled Sakura, but she waited for the Hokage to continue.
"I have found this scroll. A very important scroll that only you and I must know of. I have a mission for you, and this is beyond a normal mission." Tsunade paused, thinking of what she could tell her pupil next. "I really don't want to do this, but you're the only one who can. I'm too old, and I can't send any other kunoichi. They're no where near your skills."
Sakura knew that she had to do whatever this mission was. "I accept!"
Tsunade slammed her hands on the desk, cracking it. She stared at Sakura with tears in her eyes. "You don't even know what the assignment is, Sakura! It could even kill you!"
"It seems that I'm the only one capable of doing whatever it is needed to be done." The young girl said.
Tsunade sighed then sat in her seat. "This is a very delicate mission, and I think you would do just fine."
Sakura remembered everything they went over that day. Tsunade said she would hide it, but never told Sakura where. She knew that if Sakura really needed it, then she would know where to find it.
But, Sakura really did need to use it! Everything was going wrong! Tsunade was in a coma, the Akatsuki already captured Naruto, and Danzo was the 'new' Hokage. Konoha was falling apart! There was only a limited amount of time left.
She needed to think. Where would Tsunade put the scroll? It wasn't in her office because it was destroy, and Tsunade probably figured that would happen. Maybe it was somewhere near the Hokage monument? Sakura searched everywhere around the Hokage statue, but didn't find anything. She even searched in the classified buildings that where around it. Where was it? Because she really needed to find it, and soon.
Sakura stopped what she was doing. There was only one place Sakura might find the item, but it would be a long travel. The Valley of the End, behind the waterfall.
She rushed out of the building, and ran as fast as she could to her destination. She rushed, longing to get there as soon as possible. She wanted to save the people that she loved, even if it meant that they might never know her when it was over.
But it wasn't ever going to end for her. She would have to live the rest of her life with her mission marking a new beginning.
'A little bit farther, I'll be there soon!' She looked up at the sun that started to rise in the distance. As Sakura progressed, it seemed as if everything was slowing down. Tears gathered in her eyes. She knew that he was going to leave all the things she loved behind.
She could see the statues coming closer and closer. It scared her, and made her want to let her tears fall. She wiped them away before they did. Sakura Haruno will be strong! Sakura Haruno will do this mission right! Sakura Haruno with not make a mistake!
She ran across the water. She dived straight into the waterfall, going under to find the tunnel that led to the cave where she would find what she was looking for.
The tunnel was long, and Sakura was struggling to hurry up before she drowned. She swam faster, almost to the surface. She gasps for air, as she pulls her body out of the water. She coughs, and then pulls herself together. Sakura stands up, and looks around the cave.
It was beautiful. There were jewels everywhere, in the stalagmites, the ceiling, the ground, and in rocks. Sakura then realized what she was supposed to do. She looked around for a chest or something that could hold a scroll.
Sakura walked through the long, endless tunnel. A few minutes she reached the end, and didn't find anything. Where was it! She turned to a wall and punched with all her anger. She didn't use any of her chakra, but her hand went through the wall. It was hallow. Sakura ripped her hand out of the wall, and looked through the hole. She couldn't see much. Just and outline of a box.
She punched the wall again so she could grab the box. She hurriedly grabbed it once she could get through. She put it on the floor. The box was covered in ancient words, and had the Senju clan sign on it. She released the seal, and opened the box. She then grabbed the scroll, and also released the seal. Sakura opened the scroll and laid it on the ground. She bit her thumb and wiped it across the scroll. A blinding light filled the room. Sakura then fell unconscious.

Sakura slowly opened her eyes. For some reason, she was peaceful. She then moved her body around and the realized that she was falling. She wasn't scared. She then closed her eyes. Her body then hit water, but she didn't feel any pain. Bubbles surrounded her. She looked up to see something beautiful covering the light, and going after her. It confused her, as she continued to sink to the bottom. She didn't hear anything. Everything was in slow motion.
It was a man. When he was near her, he grabbed her. He then swam to the surface. He then took then them to the edge of the water when he gently placed her on the ground. The man knew that she was getting the air she needed, and called for help. He then tried to get the water out of her lunges by doing the only thing he could do as of the moment. He started to give her ventilations. He said something, but she just continued giving him confusing looks.
Sakura turned to cough up the water she swallowed. She laid on her said, tired and wheezing. The scroll must have taken all of her chakra, leaving her with enough to keep her alive. She was so tired. She closed her eyes, and sleep took over her mind giving her peaceful dreams for the moment.
