A rustle in the bushes is made. Just as soon as the sound is heard two soft whistles are followed by soft thuds as two kunai hit the tree behind the bush. Soon the ANBU are out looking around for the source. Out of the shadows a figure emerges. The light from the moon is the only light around. The figure steps into the light.

And there stands..."Haruno Sakura surrender now if you wish to keep the charges against you light." Emerald green eyes dance with mischief as a small smirk plays over soft, pink lips. Sakura made dash for the North border, traveling on the higher branches. Pumping chakra into her feet she ran as fast as she could to escape her fellow Anbu.

-Flashback-

It was a bright and sunny day in Konoha. A blur of pink could be seen traveling through the crowed streets. Haruno Sakura was walking home in her Anbu uniform.

Her black pants matched her short sleeved tight black shirt. Covering her arms were bandages wrapped tightly. From the knees to the ankles were more white bandages. Black traditional ninja shoes adorned her feet making her, "Hollywood Scarlet",nail polish pop. Her waist length hair was in one solid braid down her back. A few stands of hair framed her face. Two twin katanas were strapped onto her back. Sakura's Anbu mask hid her face from view. The mask reminded one of a fierce tiger.

Sakura made her way through town, towards her home. Her mind was already set on her next course of action. Everything was already planned out, as to be expected from an Anbu captain. In the village Haruno Sakura was not only the right hand woman of the Hokage, but also Anbu captain of squad 5 and part of the interrogation squad. Sakura also spent some of her time working at the hospital working short, easy shifts. Sakura just returned from a training session with her team.

Exhausted Sakura walked up the steps to her home. She lives alone in a small house near the outskirts of town. Sakura instead of using a key to get into her home her chakra needed to be identified. So she channeled chakra to her hand as she placed her palm on the door knob. The lock clicked signaling that she did indeed unlock the door. Sakura dispelled her chakra and turned the knob. Walking in she closed the door behind her.

Sakura walked straight to her bedroom and opened her closet. At the bottom in the back corner was her black bag she uses for missions. Pulling it out she dropped it onto the bed. Sakura went back to her closet and pulled out two formal outfits, just incase. She also pulled out two more outfits and threw them into her bag. She reached into the top drawer of her bureau, where all of her weapons are kept, and pulled out her spare shuriken and kunai holster, also tossing it into her bag. Sakura grabbed two small daggers. She placed one in her shoe and the other tucked into the hem of her pants on the small of her back for safe keeping. Sakura pulled out a pair of wrapped Sais and put them into her bag along with Wakizashi.

Sakura hurriedly walked to her bathroom and grabbed the basic necessities, like a toothbrush, three tubes of toothpaste, a hairbrush, a pack of hair ties, a bar of soap, shampoo, and her make up kit.

Sakura walked back into the bedroom throwing the stuff into the bag. Realizing she had to much she took out a casual and formal outfit. Sakura looked at everything and felt that something important was missing. She put her finger to her chin in thought. Tampons! She grabbed a few boxes and emptied them out into the bag. She grabbed the bag and made her way to the kitchen grabbing some ramen and a bottle of water. Finally she zipped up the bag and made her way out of the house.

She closed the door behind her, shouldered her pack and picked up a fast pace towards the training grounds. The sun was setting so she knew that if anyone asked she'd say she was training by herself and the pack was for a solo mission in the morning. Sakura's plan was to use the training grounds to sneak out of the border. She got to the grounds and started to make her way out not noticing that an Anbu had hidden his chakra and was hiding in the shadows. He figured out what she was planning and made a break to alert the Hunter-Nin.

-End Flashback.-

Sakura knew that if she got to the border before they caught her she had a chance to escape. Knowing that Anbu can't leave after a shinobi without orders from the Hokage first. Quickly she neared the border. She was only a few miles away and that wouldn't take her long only five minutes at maximum. Pulling her mask down over her face Sakura jumped over the gate and into enemy territory. Just because the Anbu were behind and waiting for orders to follow didn't mean she could slow her pace. It only meant she had to increase it. Sakura knew that her destination was only a few days ahead. It was the perfect spot for her to hide for a week or so for the pace of the Hunter-Nins on the lookout for her to slow.

Her destination: Orochimaru's old hideout.
