"That's outrageous!" Koharu shouted. She knew the Hokage was incompetent sometimes but this was just….just disgraceful!

"I agree Tsunade-hime, how can you let a man and his comrades have no punishment for their crimes!" Homura said, he was very uneasy at the moment since Koharu and Tsunade were emitting very deadly auras at the moment.

"I assure you, I know what I am doing and Sasuke and his comrades are being punished. They have to have their chakra suppressed until I deem them trust worthy, they will also have to do community service and will be under ANBU supervision at all times." Tsunade stated calmly, she knew that she should give them the death sentence but Naruto and most of the other ninjas would never approve of that and would probably end up doing something stupid.

"Well then lets have a vote for this" Koharu said, "This is a democracy, right? So lets listen to all our opinions"

Tsunade glared, she was getting a headache and wanted this to be over, she said the only thing that would make the elders shut up.

"Fine" this statement was fallowed by a sigh from the blonde woman.

"Well then since we already know the Tsunade is For the punishment and Koharu is Against, that leaves the final decision up to myself, Sakura-sama and Kazekage-sama. I am against." Homura stated the obvious, he was looking very proud of himself too.

Gaara visibly twitched at the (probably) senile old man. His elbows leaned on the table and his chin rested on his hands.

"For." he really didn't mind what would happen to the Uchiha, but he didn't want to make Naruto (or the others) sad and if that meant voting for a completely unfit punishment then he would do it. He looked at the wall Sakura was leaning against, he then looked at her, there was no confusion on he face or guilt, or anything really. No emotion, she had already made her decision and was very confident in it, apparently.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath; she stayed like that for a couple of seconds and finally opened her eyes and looked at the other 4 inhabitants of the room.

"Against." She said, she looked at Tsunade to se confusion mixed with horror in her eyes, she looked at Homura to see confusion but also some happiness (no doubt it was because now he wouldn't have to deal with Koharu's bitching), Koharu's face had approval and pride, she was happy that at least someone in this room other then herself and Homura had any common sense. Gaara shoved no emotion but inside he felt a bit worried, he knew this was a hard thing for Sakura to do.

"What are you talking about Sakura?!?!" Tsunade looked at her former apprentice.

"The punishment…" Sakura looked down, her fists were clenched and she was shaking, it looked like she was having an inner battle with herself. She looked up, determination evident in her eyes.

"The punishment is no were near enough for all the wrongs this man has committed!" Her eyes were shining brightly as she continued.

"He…He's made a lot of people suffer, he's killed people needlessly, he's tried to kill us all and destroy the village twice! And you expect him to swear his loyalty to us?!?! He's betrayed us countless times before, why should he not do it again?! Tell me Tsunade, tell me why this bastard should be trusted?!?!"

"Sa-Sakura…" Tsunade was speechless, but she had never felt this much pride before. Sakura had finally grown a backbone and was using it, she was finally opposing her. She let a full smile show on her face, this shocked Sakura.

"Very well you three, you are right so what should his punishment be?"

"Execution" Koharu said immediately.

"No, he is a valuable member of the near extinct Uchiha clan and a member of the main branch, we can't kill him." Homura stated.

"Then…" all attention turned to Sakura. "How about we just put him and his team in prison, they will be interrogated and have frequent therapy sessions. They would only be let out when all of us agree that they are in stable, seemingly trustworthy conditions. After that we continue with Tsunade's previous plan."

"I still think your being to easy on them" Koharu scoffed.

"Well then what do you suggest?" Tsunade was beyond irritated with the elderly woman, she was completely pissed.

"The interrogations will be carried out by Morino Ibiki and the will also be "restrained" once every 3 days." The old woman was smirking, not a pleasant site.

Tsunade's eye twitched. "Fine, is anyone against this?" no one said a word.

"Then bring those twats in and let's tell them their fate" Tsunade called for the ANBU's that were waiting outside. Since the walls were sound proof the 4 criminals outside had no clue weather this was their last day of being alive or not.

As A grinning Kiba and 5 other ANBU came in dragging the corpses with them. Their bodies were brutally battered and multiple bones seemed to be broken, A big, orange haired one had a giant bruise on his back and bits of wood implanted in it, he was probably thrown into a tree, probably since who knows what the two ANBU teams could have done to him or the others. In any case Sakura was still the head medic and would eventually have to tend to their wounds.

The ANBU threw them on the floor and made them stand on their knees, their backs straight. The girl's back was fractured but one ANBU grabbed her hair and brought her backwards with force and hissed into her ear that if she wanted to live shed have to straighten up. He then spat at the girl when she didn't comply and kicked her in the back for disobeying his orders, making a loud crack sound ring through out the room. The girl didn't dare make a sound but a small whimper escaped her lips. One boy with pale blue hair looked at her worriedly.

"Whore" he growled.

"Leave her, you've done enough. I would appreciate if you could control your subordinates Kiba, I'm the one who will have to heal these 4 after this" Sakura said keeping her eyes fixed on Sasuke who had brought his head up to stare at her, his eyes were half closed and he had a broken cheek bone. Refusing to show any sign of weakness Sakura continued to look, surveying the damage on him and his comrades. From the corner of her eye she saw Kiba dismiss the violent ANBU member that had caused more damage to her patients.

"Sorry Sakura, I got a bit carried away." Kiba grinned sheepishly and scratched the back of his head.

"State your Names." Tsunade said, her voice held a commanding tone that demanded respect.

"Uchiha Sasuke" his tone was emotionless as always, Sakura suppressed a sigh. So he really hasn't changed after all, he probably came back on a whim or something. She noticed how he had become paler over the years, but not as pale as Sai, and his raven hair had grown longer.

"Suigetsu Hozuki" the guy with short pale blue hair said, he had very sharp looking teeth and purple eyes.

"K-Karin" the girl that had been kicked said, she had short red, messy hair on one side and long, straight on the other side. She had red eyes and brown rimmed glasses.

"Jugo" now this guy was a sight, he was freakishly tall, and by tall Sakura meant humongous. He had orange hair and orange eyes, he had a very calm face on despite his predicament.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and proceeded to explain their punishment. Kiba was smirking, it looked like he was having a party in his mind and Akamaru sensed his master's happiness and looked like he was about to jump for joy.

"And the psychiatrist that will be monitoring us is…?" Sasuke asked, through out the whole explanation he had only winced once and that was because he had to shift his position a bit and thus caused his abdominal wound to bleed more.

"Haruno Sakura" Tsunade said sharply indicating that said person should introduce themselves. Sakura did so by stepping forward; away from the wall she was previously leaning on .

"I am Haruno Sakura, I will be the psychiatrist and I will be monitoring your everyday activities and I will also be the medic that "cleans up" after Ibiki-san is done with you. Also Kiba" she pointed to the chocolate brown haired ANBU captain "will be assisting Ibiki-san in his "sessions" and will be guarding your door most of the time therefore you might not want to try to escape unless you enjoyed what he did to you today" she let a smirk show on her lips as she said the last statement, the red haired girl's face showed pure horror (as if she just saw Orocimaru running around in a speedo singing "I feel pretty"). Sakura shivered at the thought and tried to get the image out of her mind before she gagged. The blue haired one just winced and the orange haired dude was just looking at the floor as if all the answers to his questions were written on it and Sasuke was just (you guessed it) expressionless. Kiba didn't know if wasting so much of his time was worth seeing Sasuke (and the others) get tortured and tormented. It's worth it. He concluded. It's what that bastard deserves for what he did to Naruto, Ino and Sakura... He glanced at the pink haired girl on the other side of the room.

"Very well, your all dismissed, You guys" Tsunade pointed at the ANBU guards "Take them to the cells and Sakura go heal them" she then mumbled something along the lines of "blasted paperwork" and got out a bottle of sake.

The 4 ANBU each picked up one of the prisoners and made their was outside of the office. Kiba waited till Sakura came over to his side then they fallowed the other ANBU.

"Was that hard on you?" he asked her, Sakura just looked surprised when she looked up at him.

"No." she was telling the truth. "I did what I thought was right for the village, I can't let my feelings cloud my judgement after all it's hard to tell what's black and what's white in this world."

"Hey, do you still love him?" she bit her lip when Kiba asked this, but she knew he was going to ask this question sooner or later, she just wished it could have been later.

"Yes, I love Naruto like a brother, but I love Sasuke in a different way…" His eyes sadden but he refused to let her be the strong one here.

"Ah." Was all he could say, after all it's not every day your girlfriend tells you she still loves her former (for lack of better word) crush.

"But Kiba, even if I loved and still kind of love Sasuke that love can't compare to my love for you because you love me back, you protect me and you make me feel safe, it's not the same with Sasuke… I can't explain it in words but my love for you is on a different level to my love for him because only your smile can make my heart beat fast, only your touch can leave me wanting more and only your kiss makes me feel like the happiest girl in the world. Kiba you are the only person I love." She said.

"So, you mean your going too give up on Sasuke?"

"Kiba I already have given up on him, the feelings I have for him are just a reminder of the past and I don't need them or him if I have you." She moved her hand to hold his and he smiled, she couldn't help smiling back.

"Well then Sakura, how does 8 o'clock tonight sound?" his wolfy grin becoming bigger with every passing second. And to answer his question she pulled him in a big hug and kissed him, it wasn't a full on make out session but it was a pure kiss full of love, love that only belonged to him.

"Hey, how about you too save the lovey-dovey talk till after we're done?" one ANBU said; removing his mask to show a foxy grin we all know and love.

"Shut up Naruto" Kiba said grinning, "Just 'cuse you can't even go to first base with Hinata."

Naruto blushed and Sakura tried not to laugh and ended up forgetting about punching him for his earlier comment.

"If you three would stop talking we might actually get home on time" The other ANBU hissed taking his mask off.

"Neji how many times have I told you, you really need to make an appointment at the hospital so that one of our medics can finally remove that stick up your ass" Sakura got a smack in the head from Neji and Naruto had to hold Kiba back from ripping out Neji's intestines for hurting his Sakura and Naruto had to do this while trying not to fall on the floor in a fit of raging laughter.

A yawn was heard coming from one of the other ANBU's as they took their masks off.

"Troublesome, can we just get this over with like Neji said?" Shikamaru sighed, for him talking was such a drag he just wanted to sleep.

"Hag hurry up and heal these guys, I won a bet and dickless is treating me for ramen" Sai had that annoying/loveable fake smile on.

Now Neji had to hold a crazy dog ninja, a ninja with super human strength and the nine tails container from murdering the idiot and of course Shikamaru wasn't helping because it was "too troublesome".

After everyone (meaning Sakura, the other 2 were still glaring at Sai) calmed down, Sakura made her way into the cell, he first priority was getting the girl's back fixed.

The problem was that the girl was passed out so instead of being able to ask the girl were it hurt Sakura had to search for damage with her chakra. She suddenly felt watched but it was understandable that Karin's team mates wanted to her to be safe. Besides the broken back was easy to heal because all Sakura had to do was use her chakra to make the bones heal faster. She had a broken wrist, Sakura eased the swelling and healed a little bit of it and then let the rest heal naturally. A bump on the back of her head was very visible but not fatal, it wasn't even bleeding. Aside from a few bruises, scratches and some fractures the girl was fine. She had probably passed out first because of the head bump and the ANBU's probably thought it wasn't fun to "kick a dead puppy" though Kiba wouldn't like that saying so much. She put the girl on one of the mattresses on the floor, even a little comfort might help this situation.

She moved on to the guy with blue hair, he said his name was Suigetsu, but she really wasn't paying much attention then. His leg was broken as far as she could tell and he was clutching his side.

"What hurts?" she asked, medic mode was On.

"That dog bit me, it hurts like a bitch" he frowned and removed his hand so that she could get a better look and inspect the damage. She glared at Kiba and he in return put his hands up in defence, shaking his head.

Looking inside her medical pouch, she found a piece of cloth and a water bottle, she used these two bits of equipment and washed away the blood on his chest; trying to be as gentle as possible because even if they were criminals, they had already been through enough pain today. She got out a long pair of tweezers and some Ethanol; she put some of the strong smelling blue liquid on a piece of cotton and gripped it with the tweezers.

"This might sting a little"

As soon as she dapped the cotton onto his wound he let out a sharp hiss of pain. She continued doing this and he winced but didn't make any other indication of his pain. She had to change the cotton a few times, if it got to dirty it might infect or damage his wound. When she was sure the wound had been properly disinfected she put everything away.

"Would you like stitches or direct chakra heal?" she asked. Sometimes patients didn't like the thought of another's chakra in them especially civilians, they thought chakra transmitted diseases were real.

"Direct." Was all he said, he leaned back and pressed his head against the wall and closed his eyes.

Sakura put her hands over the other and concentrated healing chakra to her hands, green light seeped out of her hands and she began healing him with the mystic palm technique. The process was fast and took little effort and soon she was healing his leg and the other broken parts of his body. He was now asleep, this guy is really carefree, Sakura thought.

Sasuke was bleeding a lot and his breathing was hard she glanced at the orange haired guy who looked relaxed. Sasuke was obviously in a more needing position. She did the same as she had done with Suigetsu, se cleaned his skin and disinfected the wound.

"Would you li-"

"Just do it." He was panting and there was pain evident in his voice, ignoring the fact that he rudely interrupted her she but her hands above his abdomen and poured chakra into them to form the mystic palm technique, this wound was complicated, the skin was cut ruggedly, almost as if it was done with a blunt object. She vaguely wondered what it could have been but focused her mind on healing him.

After she was done with Sasuke she moved on to Jugo, apparently he had really strong bones so all she had to heal was his bruises and take the splinters ad bits of wood out of his back, she let them heal on their own on his request, he didn't want to cause her any trouble.

All in all things went really smoothly and there were no complications. She walked out of the cell and Sai locked it behind her. She went home and got ready for her date with Kiba.

Finally finished! PLEASE REWIEW
