Sakura and tsunade and shizune had been walking for about an hour now and the sun was just creeping up behind the hills. Sakura was looking up ahead and she was in deep thought. 1: what would they meet or who would they meet? 2: why did she have that dream? I know 2 totally different subjects but Sakura's mind was going at 100 miles a minute.

"We wait here, this is the boarder so we just wait" tsunade stated as she sat on a log waiting for the enemy to show up. Sakura and shizune just nodded.

Orochimaru's army……..

"Lord orochimaru what do we do? We are just about at the boarder" Kabuto asked/stated.

"Break up the army, different groups will attack at different times and different angles of the village" Orochimaru stated.

"Yes my lord" kabuto said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke to do as orochimaru ordered.

"orochimaru, lady tsunade and her apprentices (sp?) are at the fire boarder waiting for you" a snake said as he came out of the bush after scanning the area. At this orochimaru smirked.

"So, tsunade wants to die early eh?" orochimaru said with a chuckle. Oh how he was going to enjoy killing her in a slow painful death.

"Minato, you and kabuto are coming with me too kill tsunade, the 5th hokage" orochimaru said as he turned to the kohona's yellow flash.

Minato turned to orochimaru and just nodded in agreement.

"Is it just lady tsunade?" Minato asked

"No, she has her useless apprentices with her but they won't be much of a threat" orochimaru said. Minato just nodded and turned to walk with orochimaru.

"So, what will be the odds?" Minato asked as he walked with orochimaru. Oh how Minato with he could kill him.

"The battle with tsunade will be easy, tsunade won't be much and her apprentices will be nothing" orochimaru stated.

"if they trained with tsunade then I think it will be harder then what he's saying but it's not like I'm fighting them, I'm going to join kohona to kill this vile snake" Minato thought.

"Yes but you didn't answer my question, what are the odds?" Minato said as straight as he could.

"Oh you mean the number of people we will be fighting, it's three on three" orochimaru said simply. Minato just nodded.

"So it's four on two, I could deal with that" minato thought.

"My lord I did as you asked, they all will be attacking at different times and places" Kabuto declared.

"Good, now kabuto it seems we have guests waiting for us at the fire boarder, tsunade and her apprentices" Orochimaru stated with a smirk.

"Oh?" Kabuto asked with amusement.

"Yes and we are to meet them, tsunade just made our job so much easier" orochimaru stated.

Minato and kabuto just nodded in agreement.

"Now it would be rude to keep our guest waiting so we better hurry up" orochimaru said with amusement and a slight chuckle.

Tsunade, Sakura and Shizune……..

Sakura was in a light sleep while sitting up against a tree. Getting up around four was now starting to catch up with her. Tsunade just let her sleep since she knew she was up early and sakura was going to need all her energy. Tsunade was just leaning up against a tree with her arms crossed and looking up at the sky while watching a few birds soar up in the sky. Shinzune was making sure she had everything in her bag, since she was in a rush this morning to pack all the things she would need and it looked like she had everything she would need for this upcoming battle.

Sakura's eyes fluttered open and she had to blink a few times to get her eyes to adjust to her surroundings. Sakura stretched and yawned and looked at the sky. It was a little sunny and only a few hours ago it was so cloudy with eerie clouds.

Then all of a sudden just as if on cue the eerie clouds started to appear they where rolling in and thunder could be heard and then a powerful shock of lighting sounded and light up the dark sky for only a second. Then the wind picked up and leafs where dancing in the air gracefully.

Sakura's eyes narrowed. This must mean the enemy was getting closer. Then sakura jumped up and pulled out a kunai ready to attack the unknown enemy. Tsunade eyes where narrowed and she got of the tree and got ready to face the enemy. Shizune also got ready for whatever they might face.

In the distance, you could see three small shadow figures slowly getting closer.One seemed to be ahead of the others so that must mean that he was the leader. The other two where only a few feet behind the leader. Sakura's heart was soaring one hundred miles a minute. She was nervous as hell. Sakura glanced at Tsunade and Shizune and they seemed to be together and calmer then her. Shizune had narrowed eyes and she was holding a senbon and Tsunade stood calm with her eyes narrowed, and here was Sakura trying to be calm but the hand that was holding the kunai was shaking slightly and Sakura almost could hear her heart beat. She then looked ahead and she could almost make out the people walking towards them the she got a look of shock then it quickly turned to anger. The hand that held the kunai stopped shaking and then all the nerves left like they weren't there to begin with. Right now all she was focused on was killing the snake bastard.

Tsunade was pissed of to the max. All she wanted to do was send him to the moon and hope the he would die since he wouldn't be able to breath. But Tsunade tried to keep her anger down. Being reckless would probably just kill her.

The three figures stopped. They where about 10 meters away and in a battle with ninja that is pretty darn close.

"ahh Tsunade, how have you been dear old friend?" Orochimaru asked with a twisted smile.

"As long as I don't see you I'm happy" Tsunade answered bitterly. She wasn't even paying attention to the other two figures. None of them where.

"Now Tsunade I'm hurt, you're not happy to see me" Orochimaru answer as he put a hand over his heart.

"The only time I'll be happy to see you is when your dying or when your dead or maybe even as your being torn to pieces" Tsunade answered. Orochimaru just chuckled.

"Tsunade, you don't stand a chance against me or my followers" Orochimaru said with a sick twisted smile.

Tsunade and the other two looked at the other Two behind Orochimaru. Sakura and Shinzune heard Tsunade gasp slightly and they looked at her. Tsunade looked shocked and confused.

"We don't stand a chance" Tsunade said in a whisper.

"Why Tsunade?" Sakura asked.Tsunade didn't answer so Sakura just followed her Gaze.

Sakura eyes widened. There stood a young man that had blond hair and blue eyes. HE looked just like naruto. For a second Sakura thought it was naruto but then she looked closer and he looked a bit older then naruto and even though they have the same eyes naruto eyes hold a carefree and innocent shine in his eyes and this man has a gentle and caring shine behind his eyes. Sakura continued to look at the blond.

"He's kinda hot" inner sakura said as she looked Minato up and down.

"You just can't pick the right time show up…ever, can you?" Sakura answered back to her inner.

"Well im just saying, like look at that, he's lean and hot. He's not too muscular and he's hot and look at those eyes, they should only belong to a god. He is gorgeous. Like, he might even be hotter the sasuke." Inner said.

Well sakura would have too agree with that. He might even be hotter then sasuke. And all those things that inner said about the mystery man would be true. But come on he's the enemy and you don't check out the enemy that's like the number one rule, well besides letting the enemy getting behind you but thinking the enemy is hot is a big NO NO.

Just then it started pouring rain. The rain was pouring so hard it looked like it was coming down in sheets. Sakura's pink hair was starting to stick to her face and she had to squint her eyes to stop the water from blurring her vision.

"Now Tsunade you know you don't stand a chance so you might as well back down" orochimaru said. Tsunade didn't reply. At this orochimaru chuckled.

"Minato" was all orochimaru said. Minato nodded and he disappeared. He then appeared behind Tsunade with a kunai to her back. Tsunade was wide eyed. She was going to die, or so she thought. Sakura looked at the man beside her. She felt so stupid since she couldn't hold her blush. He was even hotter up close… minus having a kunai to her sensei's back. She watched the mystery man lean to her sensei's ear to whisper something then her sensei nodded very slightly it was barley even noticeable.

"Lady Tsunade, im only acting to be under orochimarus control but you have to stay calm. Im not going to hurt you. Im here to help" was what Minato whispered.

Minato then looked up ahead then he brought up the kunai and it looked like he was going to stab Tsunade but then he flipped it in his hand and threw it at Orochimaru and got him in the arm. Orochimaru hissed at the intense pain flowing through his arm. He them looked at Minato to look into furious blue eyes.

"How?" Orochimaru hissed.

"You actually thought you could control me? Hell would freeze over before I help you destroy kohona" Minato said venomously. Sakura looked at him shocked.

"He's not the enemy! So we are free to think he's hot!" inner sakura cheered.

"Is that all you think about? That he's hot?" Sakura asked as she anime sweat dropped. Inner sakura didn't hear her since she was so happy. And Sakura just anime sweat dropped again at this.

"kabuto we retreat, we can't fight against them when I'm injured" Orochimaru said and then he and kabuto disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The sky was still pouring rain and it was rumbling and flashing its lights. Sakura stood there shocked while looking at him. It was raining and that was making his cloths stick to his body and it wasn't helping Sakura's inner situation. And she watched as rain droplets flowed off his face onto the ground. She has never been this way with a man ever, even with sasuke and in the rain she was never this amazed. She then looked at his lips as he talked with Tsunade. She couldn't hear a thing they where saying she was in a weird trance.

"SAKURA!" Tsunade yelled.

This scared sakura, well it didn't scare her but it surprised her. So she lost her balance and fell in a puddle of water. She was so embarrassed. She looked up and Tsuande eye brow was twitching and Shizune looked worried. Minato then bent down a little and offered her his hand.

"Here, you might need some help with the slippery mud" He said with a small smile. His voice sounded like it could belong to an angel it was so gentle and smooth but yet it was manly and strong. She blushed a little and took the offered hand and he helped her up.

"Thank you" Sakura said softly. Minato nodded and said "no problem"

"Ok we need to get back to kohona, even if orochimaru stopped his attack doesn't mean he stopped the attack on kohona" Tsunade said as she turned to run in the direction of kohona. The others followed suit.
