~Recreating~

Madara spun his orange, swirled mask around his finger at his new desk in the hokage tower. He looked down at some files of the people that were not loyal to him. He flipped through the files until one caught his eye. Before he could read it, a knock at the door disturbed him.

"Come in." He said.

Sasuke walked in with a stack of papers.

"It seems the border villages are surrendering to you." He said flatly.

Madara knew that Sasuke wanted to kill him for killing his best friend, the kyuubi, but he isn't that worried about him.

"Tell me Sasuke, do you know any of these people?"

Madara tossed the files into Sasuke's hands. Sasuke skimmed through the files until he got to a rather thick file.

"Sakura Haruno…" Sasuke said under his breath.

"You know her?" Madara asked as he continued to spin his mask.

"She's the only friend of mine left alive…"

"It's funny; she has not sworn loyalty yet to me."

Sasuke gave Madara a cold stare. Madara grabbed the files and placed them back down onto his new desk.

"So tell me more about her." Madara's eyebrows cocked.

"She is the best medical ninja in the Leaf Village." Sasuke answered coldly. "And she's also the last of the Haruno clan ever since the attack of a tailed beast. Ever since then, she's been training nonstop. She is usually at the Village's hospital."

"So a med ninja? She can be useful for healing the wounded ninjas at work. Bring her down to my office."

"It isn't that easy…" Sasuke said through his teeth.

"I do not care about your relationship with her. All I'm interested is making sure that she is loyal to me along with the rest of these ninjas."

"But Madara, the rest of those ninjas committed suicide.

Madara pushed his mask back onto his head. With no use to it, he made it into a hat that everyone feared. He liked it.

"Like I said, bring her here. Find her."

Sasuke quickly left the room. Madara laughed at himself at how much Sasuke hated him which he didn't care. He was more curious about this Haruno girl. There isn't that many skilled ninjas left in the village ever since the powerful ninjas left for the Sand Village, which is the only thing in his way from ruling the world. Most of the betrayers were killed by the remanding Akatsuki members. So maybe with the help of her, he can began slowly put together the Leaf village once again, which he didn't care for that much.

Sakura's hand glow green as she healed a villager's broken rib.

"You better be careful next time, there isn't that many medical ninjas left." Sakura forcefully smiled.

"Sakura san, is there any herbs left?" Asked a nurse.

Sakura growled at herself. Ever since Madara became the Hokage, the village has been falling apart. Buildings were destroyed. There's hardly any food, and the hospital was being overcrowded by dozens of injured villagers.

"I will go check."

Sakura finished up healing the villager and headed back into the herb garden. There are hardly any good herbs left. Sakura sighed and continue to look around the garden.

"Sakura…"

Sakura turned around to see Sasuke standing by the doorway out of the herb house. They rarely talk anymore ever since Naruto died and Kakashi leaving the village for the Sand Village. He offered Sakura to go, but she wanted to stay in the village were her family was. Now she regrets it.

"What do you want Sasuke?" She asked as coldly as he does.

"Madara wants a word with you."

"I'm too busy here." She picked up some healing herbs.

"It's an order." He replied.

Sakura got mad. Tsunade would never make Sakura leave when she was busy with injured people. Tsunade wouldn't be making the village a living hell.

"Sasuke, why are you doing this?" She asked. "This isn't liked you being someone's servant."

"I must take you to Madara now Sakura." He ignored the question.

Sakura rolled her eyes and handed the herbs to a nearby nurse. Knowing Madara this is about her being the only one that hasn't sworn loyalty to. But who would swore loyalty to some ungrateful jerk who stays in his office all day? Sasuke sighed, relieved when Sakura walked up to him ready. They walked down to the Hoakge's building by the office where Madara is.

"Madara." Sasuke knocked at his door. "Sakura Haruno is here."

"Bring her in."

Sasuke opened the door and let Sakura in after himself. Sasuke shut the door behind him.

"What is this about, I'm very busy." She hissed, looking at Madara.

He laugh. She has a different attitude then the rest of his medical ninjas. But all of them were killed under his power.

"I was looking through my files and saw that you haven't sworn loyalty to me." He sipped his cup of green tea.

So she was right.

"Was that all you called me down here for? There's tons of villagers that need my attention since you aren't helping out with the village."

He cocked one of his eyebrows. It's rare to see someone disrespect him and live. He smiled against the cup of tea so that no one else could see. She was different all right.

"I will not have you say such things to me." Madara slammed his cup down on his desk. "I don't appreciate you coming in here in a rude matter as well, so be more cheerful."

Cheerful? When he said that he thought of Tobi, his other side of him, being as dumb as he was happy.

"How can I be cheerful when there's our villagers dying out there?!" She screamed.

"Sasuke leave the room."

Sasuke gave a look of caution to Sakura and left the room.

"Let the weak ones die. We don't need a village of weaklings running amuck."

This man was making Sakura furious. How can a Hokage say that?!

"I am making the right choice that no other Hokage as made." He stated.

"The right choice?!" She cried. "Because of you, the village is in ruins and there's hardly any food or medical equipment!"

Madera's grip of his cup tighten. It isn't like someone to get under his skin like this.

"You have to realize that we are in a war-"

"A meaningless war!" She stated.

Before she could notice it, Madara slammed her into a wall, hold her up by her neck. He was shock to see someone that thought they could talk tough like her to him. She grabbed one of his arms and tightens her grip on it. Not only she's a cute pink hair ninja, she's much stronger than anyone else in the village, besides himself.

"Don't ever interrupt me." His eyes glowed with rage.

Sakura continued to grab his arm. Most people would be on the ground crying with a broken arm if she grabbed them like this, but he is the Hokage.

"Swear that you will be loyal to me."

Sakura began to gasp for air. Madly, he dropped Sakura and sat back down. He was surprised to see her still standing; most people would be on the ground begging to leave.

"You are quite interesting Haruno." He chuckled as if he didn't do anything wrong. "But disobey me and you will pay like the rest of the world."

Sakura held in hers tears. There's no way she will become the weak little girl that cried for hours in. She's more tougher now and much powerful, but now powerful enough to face Madara down by herself. Sasuke stormed into the room to see a ruined wall.

"What the hell happened?!" He shouted, looking at the red hand grip marks around Sakura's throat.

"Just convincing her to become loyal to me." He smiled. "But I don't think it's working that well, huh Sakura?"

Sakura only looked at him with hatred.

"There will be a dance at the old training grounds." Madara commented. "If you value your life, you will go. Oh, and wear a nice dress."

"Might as well kill me now, I have nothing to live for." Sakura responded angrily.

"I will take her out Madara." Sasuke quickly said before there was another fight.

As soon as they left, Madara crushed the cup with his hands. This girl isn't one of those goody- two shoed girls that would do whatever they are told. This made Madara more curious of Sakura.
