Sorry for the really short chapter last time. I'm also sorry for no commenting on the bottom. I'm new to fanfiction. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I tried to make it longer. I was like listening to Christy Carlson Romano's song Anyone But Me and it gave me inspiration to write this chapter.

Naruto does not belong to me. It belongs to Kishimoto.


Chapter 1

Sakura ran as fast as she could, but her legs way. She finally announced to the others that they were setting up camp in a little clearing in the woods. They agreed silently. The moment Sakura turned her head to set up the tent, the boys starting talking among themselves silently.

"Akamaru just got a lead on where Sasuke might be. Should we tell her?" Kiba raised his eyes to look at the older boy. Lee shook his head. "Look at her. [They turn to look at Sakura and they find her asleep on top of the tent.] She's exhausted. If we were to tell her, she wouldn't stop until she's found Sasuke. It's better not to."

They looked at her again and picked her up bridal style and continued to set up camp.

Next Day

"Come one people!" Sakura was screaming orders early in the morning. VERY early in the morning. As soon as they woke up, they ate breakfast and went on their way. Lee and Kiba looked at each other and nodded. Both decided silently that this would be a good time to tell Sakura that they had a lead on Sasuke. They abruptly stopped and Sakura took notice.

"What's the matter?" She was curious. Lee coughed. Kiba sighed and started, "Last night, Akamaru got lead on Sasuke and it was coming from Amegakure. It's due north."

Sakura looked at them and then started north, toward Amegakure.

Karin had just finished healing Sasuke. He got up and flexed his arms. Still in good shape, he thought. He activated his Sharingan and looked at his surroundings. Definitely does not seem like the regular world, something's peculiar about it, he thought.

"Karin! Try and sense where we are!" Sasuke tried not to sound desperate, but he failed. Karin just smirked at him and closed her eyes. It seems like we're inside….Madara's head?! Karin immediately opened her eyes and screamed. Sasuke ran to her and asked, "Where the hell are we, Karin?! Answer me! Where the hell are we?!" Tears sprang to her eyes and she started shakily.

"We are inside Madara's head."

Sasuke stared at her like she was kind of crazy bitch. "Are you fucking serious?" She just nodded her head meekly. He sighed. Teleportation Jutsu. They appeared in the woods.

Sasuke took Karin by the hand and started running toward Konoha. She started blushing like mad, but he didn't seem to notice. I think that if we can get to Konoha, then Madara won't be able to find us. Now all we have to do is find Jugo and Suigetsu.

But Sasuke didn't know that he really didn't leave Madara's head. Madara had just heard everything he had thought.

Kakashi and Yamato were getting some stuff and Naruto was looking around. "Do you think that Sakura will be alright?" Yamato was whispering quietly so that Naruto won't hear. "She's going to be alright." But it wasn't Kakashi's voice that answered, it was Sai's. Naruto abruptly stopped what he was doing and turned around. "Sai? Where's Sakura? Aren't you supposed to be with her? Where are the others?" Naruto started scanning the area. Sai shook his head. He's just as stupid as always. "I took you. Sakura-san's alright. I'm here to tell the meaning behind her actions." He stopped and looked at Naruto to make sure he was paying attention. He was on full alert.

"You know that Sakura-san doesn't really love you, but she loves you as a brother. The reason she said I love you was she was just trying to protect you. She didn't want you to get hurt just because of that promise you made her two years ago."

Naruto looked incredulous. "Where is she now?"

"She's looking for Sasuke."

Naruto looked at Kakashi. "Shit," was all he could say. "We have to go after her! She'll get herself killed!"

Sai put a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "I believe that if Sakura-san wanted your help, she would have asked you for help." Naruto looked at Kakashi and Yamato for help, but they just shook their head in agreement with Sai.

"Fine." Sakura-chan…I hope you know what you're doing.


"Sakura-san, it seems like Sasuke was here." Lee was looking very tired after a few hours of water.

"Well, we have to get to him before anyone else does!"

"Hai!" Sakura looked at the others that were willing to risk their lives to help her. Thank you, guys. And then to Sasuke, Sasuke I'm going to bring you home today.

After a few hours

It was getting dark and they still haven't found Sasuke. They came to a clearing when they heard some noises. They hid behind some trees and looked.

It was Sasuke and Karin setting up camp.

They hi-fived each other silently and began to plan their assault.

Sakura looked at her teammates and sighed. We are strong enough for Sasuke. I'll just have to use the backup plan. Kiba looked at her and said, "What now?"

All Sakura said was a simple sorry.

And then everything went black.

Thanks for everyone who reviewed the last time. I hope I made this chapter long enough.

Please R&R! If you don't know, Naruto and the people who were with him are going back to Konoha.
