Okay guys, just wanted to say, if I update within two to three days of each update the updates will be about this long. However if I update like every saturday once a week then the updates will be about four to five thousand words long.

"Inner, you're really back, but why?" Sakura questioned and she felt Inner shrug.

"The only reason I was here in the first place was because of your lack of confidence when you were a kid, you were good for a while but now, you're back to square one." Sakura hung her head as he eyes clouded over with sadness, Inner was right. "Hey, none of that now that's the thing that brought me back in the first place, I have an idea, go outside the village today." Sakura's head shot up and she narrowed her eyes. "Now before you start with that just listen, go to the herb field on the outskirts of Konoha, I have a feeling you find something interesting there." Sakura narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips as she thought of what Inner said.

"Did you do something when I was asleep last night Inner?" There was silence in her mind for a moment and Sakura grit her teeth. "Inner?" She questioned angrily.

"Of course not Saku, what do you take me for?" Sakura sighed and stood up going to her closet to get dressed.

"Fine, but if something bad happens I'm blaming you."

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

Why did he have to make that bet, he should have known that something was wrong with that monster. She black eyes for Kami's sake, he shouldn't have been so stupid. However he was always a man of his word, even if that meant following a demons crazy instructions.

"What did she even mean, if I win this fight, teach me, not this me but the other me to fight, what does that mean..." The man in question fell forward as he heard his name yelled through the forest.

"Tobi what are you doing we have a mission un?!" Tobi scratched his head going back into his childish persona.

"Sorry senpai, Pein-sama said that once we got near Konoha Tobi was supposed to do some things there for a few days." Deidara furrowed his brows in confusion.

"When did he say that un?" Tobi looked at Deidara innocently the one eyes showing starting to water.

"You don't trust Tobi senpai?" His eye bulged animatedly as he started to cry and Deidara sighed.

"Fine, whatever, do what you want un." Tobi jumped back up happily and Deidara narrowed his eyes. "But if you're lying the punishment you get is on you."

"Why would Tobi ever lie to you Deidara Senpai?" Deidara rolled his eyes and vanished. Tobi dropped his persona with a sigh.

"I suppose I should just start heading to the field then." He rubbed his temples thinking about what a pain that woman was. "Sakura was her name right?" He questioned himself as he walked toward Konoha.

Once Sakura had gotten dressed she walked toward the hospital in the middle of Konoha confusing Inner.

"The exit to the village is the other way pumpkin." Sakura rolled her eyes and adjusted her satchel on her back.

"I know that, I'm going to do my rounds at the hospital." Sakura said inside her head to Inner.

"Seriously, you're still doing that crap, even after all this village has done to you, just go to the damn field." Inner fumed inside her head and Sakura sighed.

"I will after this, it will only take an hour, that is unless someone's waiting for me there?" Sakura questioned and Inner remained quite. "Good then stop complaining." Sakura walked into the hospital greeting the receptionist with a smile and a wave. She grabbed her badge from the counter and decided to just pin it on her shirt rather than getting a coat. She did her quick rounds around the hospital checking on each patient before returning her badge. It was quicker than she thought it was and she sighed. She had a sinking feeling that whatever Inner had planned was going to be very bad. She walked through the village to the gate and was stopped by the two guards.

"Where are you headed Haruno?" She turned to Izumo and handed him a scroll. The Hokage's signature perfectly forged on it with the fake papers. It was against the law but she did it from time to time, just to get out of the village. Of course Kakashi couldn't do anything about it because he had no idea she knew how to copy his signature. "Alright you're fine." Sakura smiled and walked through the gate grabbing the scroll on her way out. It was a thirty minute run to the herb field, she might as well start running. She jumped through trees as she made her way to the field cutting her last time in half. Once her foot landed in the grass of the field she looked at her watch and hmmed.

"Fifteen minutes, cool."

"You're late." Sakura's head shot up quickly as she looked across the field. There sitting on a rock staring at her through a mask was one of the most dangerous men in the world. Sakura flipped out a kunai and stepped back glaring at him.

"Inner what the hell did you do?!" She questioned out loud and cursed when Inner didn't respond. Tobi looked at her with confusion and remembered something she had said the night after the fight. 'You might want to use your happier personality on her, she'll trust you faster if you do.' Now that he looked at the woman before him and compared her to the one last night her noticed a few differences. Her stance was different, her attitude and her appearance were as well. The one from the night of the fight was confident and crazy in her movements. This one was much less confident and was very clearly scared of him. He quirked a brow and let a smirk go to his face, now he understood. She has two personalities, much like Zetsu. Thinking of this he completely changed his demeanor and jumped off the rock.

"Did you forget Tobi already, Sakura-san asked Tobi to teach her to fight but it was weird because Sakura was stronger than Tobi, but this Sakura-san is much different than last night." He gave off the curiousness he needed to convey as he rambled and looked at her. He smirked under his mask as he saw it begin to work, she loosened her grip on her kunai.

"I don't understand," Sakura said slowly as she looked at him.

"Yep Tobi thinks you are different, is Sakura-san a different person than the other Sakura-san?" He questioned appearing in front of her with the demeanor of a child.

"Uh..."

"Just say yes and make this less painful for everyone." Inner seemed to be at her last straw as she listened to them talk.

"Yes." Sakura breathed tightening her grip on her kunai as confusion swam through her brain.

"Okay, then Tobi will teach you the first lesson." Before Sakura could react she had the kunai she was holding in her hand to her throat. He eyes widened and Tobi tilted his head to the side cutely.

"Remember blossom-chan, never lose grip on your weapon and never trust an enemy." He stepped back tossing her back her kunai. Sakura caught it easily and looked at him even more confused than before.

"Just go with it hun, it'll be better for everyone if you do." Sakura gulped and grit her teeth.

"The Sakura you talked to.. wasn't me so uh, what did she and you talk about?" Sakura questioned nervously.

"Sakura-san told Tobi that if she beat Tobi in a fight Tobi would teach her to fight, Tobi was confused, because if Sakura-san beat Tobi than Sakura-san didn't need to be taught, because Tobi is the strongest." Sakura almost smiled as he put his hands on his hips and nodded his head confidently.

"So... she beat you then?" Sakura questioned incredulously and Tobi nodded sadly.

"But don't worry, Tobi gets his revenge, because if Tobi teaches Sakura-san than Tobi gets to make sure she has tough training." Tobi looked like he had a gleam in his one eye as he looked at her and Sakura bit her lip.

"Uh.. okay.. Um." Before Sakura could say more Tobi grabbed her hand and vanished taking her along with him.

Izuna's head shot up as he felt the large pulse of chakra from outside the village. He narrowed his eyes as he thought of what it might be, Sakura was after all in that area. He decided to report it to Kakashi anyway, if it was Sakura being attacked then Kakashi would kill him if she got hurt. Meanwhile Sakura and Tobi appeared in Sakura's living room confusing her further.

"What are we doing at my house?" Tobi turned to her and stared at her like she was an idiot.

"Tobi said he would train her, but Sakura-san can't stay here if he is going to train her." Sakura's eyes widened and she stepped away from him.

"What, no I can't become a missing ninja my village they-"

"Need you?" Tobi finished and she hesitantly nodded. "If they needed you or thought you were at all strong they wouldn't have sent a guard to the Hokage's office just for a pulse of chakra." Tobi's voice took a more sinister, deeper tone. Hurt flashed through Sakura's mind as she thought back to all of the things that she was restricted from doing. She wasn't even aloud to go outside the village unless she literally forged Kakashi's signature. She was restricted from any mission above a B and now restricted from any mission. Every guy she tried to date always seemed interested at first then they mysteriously had to work way too much to actually go out on a date. Either that or they would start avoiding her, and Sakura knew who was the reason for that. ANBU always watched her and all everybody did was treat her like a fragile little doll. Sakura grit her teeth and clenched her fists, maybe it was better this way.

"Atta girl, you don't need this village, leave and show everyone how strong you really are then they'll actually realize what a terrible mistake they made treating you like this." Sakura smiled the smallest bit at Inner's words. She looked up at Tobi with a newly lit fire in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll pack my things, thank you sensei for choosing to teach me." Sakura bowed politely and Tobi beamed. Sakura ran to her room still with so many doubts filling her mind. There were so many things that could go wrong but at the same time she couldn't care about them. She was tired of sitting and doing nothing, she wanted that thrill of saving people and fighting. She only had a few more things to pack since she had packed so much last night. She sealed her clothes into a scroll and stacked the multiple scrolls into her pack. Running to the kitchen she sealed only the things that she really needed. Most of which were rare spices or teas she couldn't live without.

"Um excuse me Tobi-sensei I need to go and get a few things from the shed in the back." She explained then opened her back door and disabled the seal on the door. She had several things she had been working on inside this shed, they were all equally dangerous. She stuffed everything she could into scrolls and sealed the most important things quickly on her body. She had three tattoos which she got for this exact purpose, you could say leaving had always been on her mind. She felt chakra signatures racing to her house and she bit her lip grabbing a large scroll hung on the wall. She strapped it over her shoulder and ran for her house. Tobi grabbed her hand as she took her first step through the back door and vanished in a flash taking Sakura with him. Seconds later there was a knock at her door.
