The next morning...
After Sakura had been kidnapped by Sasuke and The Sound Ninja 4 the night before, her mother Sarah Haruno was about to wake her up to get ready fro her mission. "Sakura... wake up honey. It's time for your mission." said Sarah as she entered Sakura's room hoping to find that Sakura was in bed. "Sakura? Sakura!" cried Sarah as she realized that she was gone. Sarah then ran to the bench of where Sasuke left the village hoping to find Sakura. "Sakura?" asked Sarah as she saw a note on the bench that was left by Sasuke. As she read the note, Sarah realized that her daughter had been kidnapped by Sasuke. She then ran to Tsunade's office to tell her the news.
At the office...
Tsunade was about to give a mission to Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke until... until there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" cried Tsunade as Sarah entered the room with tears in her eyes. "Sarah... please sit down." said Tsunade as Sarah sat down. "What happened?" asked Tsunade as Sarah said, "Here... read this." as she gave Tsunade the note that Sasuke had written about Sakura's capture.
The note read:
Dear Mrs. Haruno,
I have kidnapped your daughter and she is now under my care. If you wish to see your precious daughter again, tell Tsunade to send Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and Neji to come find me and rescue her. Tell them that if they don't find Sakura soon, then Sakura will have no other choice but to marry me. But if they do find her, then she's yours. I have sent The Sound Ninja 4 to kill Naruto's friends and tell Naruto to meet me at The Final Valley. Tell Naruto that I'm dying to see him... and so is Sakura. Also tell him that I'll be waiting for him at The Final Valley. P.S. Hope to see you soon, Naruto!
~ Sasuke.
Tsunade then looked at the not and back at Sarah as she nodded her head saying that it was true that Sakura had been kidnapped. "Darn it... not only has Orochimaru gotten Sasuke but he's also got Sakura, too. Well... I'm going to have to do what Sasuke said." said Tsunade to herself as she finally said, "All right. I'll send them." referring to Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and Neji.
Later that day...
After Naruto and his friends have been told by Tsunade to rescue Sakura from Sasuke's clutches, Sarah wanted to say goodbye to them and to see them off. Before that, she wanted to request Naruto about something. "Wait!" cried Sarah as Naruto and his friends were about to leave but stopped to look at her. "Mrs. Haruno." said Naruto. "Lady Hokage told us everything. Look. Don't worry. Not only will we bring Sasuke back... but we'll also bring your daughter home safe and sound." said Shikamaru. Sarah then walked up to Naruto hugged him and said in his right ear while crying: "Naruto... this is a... special request. Since all of us care about Sakura so much... I want you to bring her home... please bring Sakura back to me... and Sasuke. Promise me Naruto... promise." "Hey... don't worry Mrs. Haruno! I'm going bring the both of them back! I promise that on my life, Mrs. Haruno!" cried Naruto as he gave her the thumbs up. "Naruto... thank you." said Sarah as she continued crying. "Naruto... let's go." said Shikamaru. "Right!" cried Naruto as the five boys headed off to rescue both Sasuke and Sakura. "Naruto... be careful." said Sarah as she sobbed quietly while waiting for not only Sasuke to come home... but her precious daughter, Sakura as well.
