No one had ever known the information within these pages until just recently. It has been years after the events of these files, and only the most necessary people are allowed to read the past history of of when I went missing for so long. This is classified to nearly all of the world, but lately, the past has been revealed a known enemy, that want to destroy the very thing that they created so long ago. Only a few chosen people can save themselves and the entire world. They thought that it was over, instead it was just the beginning of it all. No one ever thought of this outcome, but it happened. Read these pages and you will learn of new beginnings. Learn the truth that has been kept secret for years. Peace has been upon us, but that is over. This is the start of a new war.

I think It's funny actually, this is my story, but I never even thought for a second that it would actually happen. The future is never entirely clear, but one thing is for certain. This, is the start of new beginnings, but I never said that it was a good thing.

Deep gasps could be heard throughout the woods. She was now only a few miles out of Konoha at a constant sprinting pace. Pink strands of hair close in proximity from its owner. Chalkra nearly depleted, and a pained expression showed on the girls face. One that was caused by great pain. However the pain wasn't recent, its been there for years, and only she now was truly letting it out, after a recent turn of events.

Sasuke... The man had came back by forced retrieval four years ago. Naruto had finally defeated him to the point where he was barely alive, and briskly brought him back to Konoha in time before he could die. Tsunade herself had been the one to heal him back to health, along with herself during the recovery process.

Within the last four years Sasuke had finally become the man that he was suppose to become. A great ninja, a Konoha one at that. However he had never completed his life long desire to kill his own brother.

On a good note however just a few hours before Sasuke had said that he had loved her, Sakura Haruno. On a bad note however those were his dying words, and to top it all off, she fell for him, hard.

Tears strained down her face, her pink scarf that wrapped around her neck now soaked from her tears. She kept up her pace even though she knew that she should rest, but she knew she had to keep going. Nothing was going to stop her. Not even Naruto. He hadn't even known that she had left. No one knew that she had gone.

She didn't know where she was headed, but something just made her keep it up. Something. It had drawn her.

From her pace she was probably going to hit river country soon. She knew that much. Her pain was all she knew at the moment, just passing though trees on autopilot.

When she reached river country, she was in the exact location where she had defeated Akasuna no Sasori, with Lady Chiyo, over five years ago.

Thinking about it all, about the Akatsuki, she felt scared. They had been defeated over three years ago, from the help of all the nations. However she could still feel the same eerie air whenever they were around. It was like all happiness had left the world, and drenched it in darkness. Just the thought made Sakura shiver.

A lot has changed since then. Naruto had become Hokage, and in a way defeated Lady Tsunade without killing her. Now the world was at peace, the Fourth Shinobi World War was over, and the Five Great Nations combined their forces; becoming all allies. Everything seemed peaceful, that is until the recent death of a black eyed friend.

Sakura's breaths were heavier than ever, and she was starting to see dark spots from her over exhaustion. She could barely stand any longer, but the feeling like she had to keep moving forward was still there. Drawing her to the entrance of the once Akatsuki base.

Everything was exactly the same. The exact way they had left the area. It was completely untouched by the outside world, nothing weathered, or moved. Sakura was in complete shock, this place has been this way for five years. Nothing has changed. Nothing. Sakura quickly grabbed a kunai from her pouch, face still puffy from crying, however still plastered with apprehension.

That was when she noticed it. Sasori's body was gone. Gone! Sakura gasped, and ran where it was suppose to be, only finding a turquoise ring, the ones that only the Akatsuki wore. She grabbed the object, and studied it. It was obviously Sasori's. She then noticed the kanji on it, "Jewel," She whispered her herself.

The ring then flashed, shocking Sakura, and attached itself onto her left thumb. Sakura could barely see anything at all from the light, for it enveloped her in a turquoise sphere, and it started to levitate with her inside. She screamed, and punched the sphere with her chalkra enhanced fist, but to no avail. It wouldn't budge.

Instead of levitating there forever, she was soon pushed back from the momentum of the sphere moving forward. The ring then stopped flashing, and Sakura could see through the sphere soon enough, for she was flying over the landscape at about a hundred miles per hour.

Anger soon set in, however she knew that if this thing did break that she would probably fall to her death if it broke. She was probably at least seventy feet in the air after all.

She then tried to take the ring off, however it also wouldn't budge. Ok, now Sakura was angry. She then huffed, and sat down with her arms crossed looking dead ahead, thinking over what was happening.

'Considering the fact that this was Sasori's ring, it will probably take me to wherever his dead body is, or to some other member's dead body,' She thought annoyed.

She was completely aggravated by the situation, growling in anger, and glaring at the sphere. Then she realized that the feeling of being drawn was gone. She had found what she was looking for, but she didn't like it at all. "This is not what I signed up for!" She growled at the orb.

After awhile, her anger soon dispersed, and confusion soon set it. She had a ton of unanswered questions about not only this thing, but why she was even in it, or where the hell it was taking her. At least the questions kept her mind off of a certain Uchiha.

After what seemed like hours, or was hours, the sphere stopped on the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers. You'd think by going that speed it would've taken about five minutes, but nope it went an lot of strange direction, and routes, actually Sakura thought it had gone over Kirigakure at first.

The sphere dispersed into water, and dropped her about thirty feet from the ground, making Sakura even angrier at the orb, and gritted her teeth when she landed, glaring at where it had once been.

She then set her sights at the place in front of her. Sand was all that could be seen, while behind her was lush forest. Sakura rolled her eyes at the strange agriculture. She looked sideways into the forest, and found something she had never seen before, even though she has taken the same route a million times before.

Her eyes widen in shock, and felt the need to see it up close. It looked like a headstone, when she came close enough. There was no writing on it, but there was about twelve slots, all just big enough for the front of the ring.

She looked at "her" ring confusedly, and sighed, and placed the front of it into the slot. The headstone was pulled to the side, and revealed old weathered stairs in its place. Sakura cringed at the sight, and still felt the need to see what was down there.

Even with the feeling of being drawn in, Sakura was reluctant to down the steps. She shook her head, and went down, feeling just enough confidence to continue.

The way down the steps was long. The stairs were attached to a wall with guard rails, and Sakura could see why. The place was like an ocean trench without water, for you couldn't see the bottom, but torches lit the way, and only turning on as she passed them.

The place honestly felt like it was going on forever, thats when she realized she was trapped in a genjutsu. Sakura scoffed at her own stupidity, and formed hand signs, and stated "Release" to end it. The moment she said it she could see the bottom. She smirked, and ran down the flights of stairs, only to come to an abrupt halt when she reached a large black door, that was clearly locked.

Sakura put her hands on her hips, questioning why she had to stop now when she had gone so far. Then she questioned why she had even come here in the first place. It was obviously a former Akatsuki base, so why come? Sakura was dumbfounded. The only reason that she had come here was because of some feeling.

Sakura scowled at her own unthoughtfulness, and decided to at least try to open the door that could very well lead to her death if not careful, however it was also true that all the members were dead right?

When Sakura's hand reached the door, she opened the door with a loud creek, making her cringe. What she found inside surprised her even more. It looked like a traditional Japanese dining room, with a low table that could fit about fifteen people, with cushions a foot outward of the table, and a kitchen to the right, and a hallway to the left. There was also a sliding glass door that gave way to a grassland, with a cliff not too far off that overlooked was seemed like Tanigakuture.

Sakura's jaw dropped as she closed the large door behind her. She turned back and looked at the door again, and quickly turned back around when she found someone's breath on her neck. Her eyes widened, and she gulped. She turned around only to be met with Sasori, wearing civilian cloths, and not his cloak. Sakura looked at him in shock, while he smirked back at her.

Sakura was soon put out of her shocked state, and turned to anger, "You! How are you still alive?" She yelled him.

Sasori chuckled darkly, and smirked, backing her to the wall, "I'm not the one who should be questioned. After all you are in an Akatsuki base,"

Sakura growled at him, while he manipulated her with his chalkra strings,"Were you the one who had made me come here?" She said, while her eyes gestured to the ring that she was wearing.

He glanced at the ring, then back at her and actually smiled, making Sakura's jaw drop once again, "Not exactly, however," He said while moving closer to Sakura's face, "The ring is indeed mine, so I suppose you can say that I had made you come here,"

Sakura narrowed her eyes at the red head before her,"Why?" She still had so many questions to ask, but knew that she wasn't going to get all the answers. At least not right away. That is if he wasn't going to kill her right away like Sakura had expected.

"Thats the way things work Sakura," He stated flatly, "Well at least thats the way things work now. It is obvious that fate brought you here, for you are the first non member to show up,"

"What do you mean?" She asked sternly.

Sasori chuckled again, but frowned, "All in due time, you will find out soon dear Sakura. Ah, and welcome to the Akatsuki," He stated, now smirking.

Sakura's eyes widened, and screamed "WHAT?"

Boring? Yeah figures... I won't update this story very often, about every few days or so? I dunno, few weeks maybe?

Please Review!

Ja-ne!
