Disclaimer:I dont own Naruto... sigh
Sakura's P.O.V.
'I was back-to-back with my best friend Ino. It was hard for us, we were medic nins not field nin. We were surrounded by enemy, each attacking at the same time.
"Sakura if we don't kill them now we're dead." She said as she cut down five more enemy nins.
"I know Ino, are you ready?" I said as I paired a blow with my kunai. Ino grunted and we started to form hand seals.
"Mind and Body Inner Power!" We yelled when we finished the seals. Darker images of ourselves appeared next to us. Ino and I jumped into the trees to catch our breath. We watched as the inners took care of the ninja. About ten minutes later all of them were dead or dieing. I jumped down and searched.
"Ino!" A male yelled. We looked to the the sound of voice. A cat hooded male jumped out of the trees.
"Kankuro!" She said as she jumped down and ran to him. They hugged each our and I turned to give them privacy. Bending down I searched a dead body. A twin scream sounded and I whipped around. I gasped and fell to my knees.
Ino and Kankuro lay in each others arms dead with a sword sticking out of their backs.'
I sat up gasping. Looking around the familiar room I calmed down. Groaning I fell back in bed.
"Sakura! Hurry up, you're going to be late!" My mother yelled up to me.I sighed and swung my legs over the edge of the bed. Now standing I went to my closet and opened it.
'Ugh! I hate these dresses!' I thought pulling all of the dresses off the hangers. Finally, in the back of the closet was a black tank top with a red skirt and white shorts. The shirt sported the white Haruno symbol.
"Much better." I said out loud. 'You really did have bad taste in cloths back then.'Inner Sakura said as she changed her cloths too. I rolled my eyes at her as I brushed my hair.
'At least I saved these cloths.'I looked at my reflection. I sighed and picked up a kunai.
"I always hated my hair long." I said as I ran the kunai through my now shorter hair. Tying on the hitai-ite I jumped out my window and ran to the academy.
Sasuke's P.O.V.
'I was running through the Uchiha compound. Everything was up in flames. Sending out a chakra net I felt her chakra. Changing my course I pulled out the chokuto Orochimaru gave me. My Sharingan turned on as I reached her. Everything inside of the room was destroyed, nothing was were it was suppost to be.
"S-Sasuke?" She called out followed by wet coughing. Our baby started to cry. I looked around and found them under a board of wood.
"Tayuya!" I said as I flipped the board away. She was hugging our boy to her chest. Tayuya looked up and smiled.
"Here." She said holding out the boy. I took him and she said, "Take care of our little Akio. Tell him... tell him I love him." She reached out and pulled me closer.
"Tayuya... no you're not going to die!" I said hysterically hugging her. Tayuya coughed up some blood but still smiled.
"I'm sorry Sasuke. I love you." She said before kissing him. The kiss was filled with unsaid words and love. Then she went limp. Her head fell to the side and I screamed.'
I shot up panting. I looked around the bare room and gulped. The communication scroll was glowing. I grasped it and the brush then opened it.
Sasuke,
Sasori's spy said Orochimaru found her. She's outside the Sand boarder, near the Fire boarder. The snake is going to get her in two days. Naruto reminds me of Obito. So full of life... I miss him. I.U.
The writing melted away and I wrote,
Itachi,
Thank you. I'll get Tayuya today. Obito? Was he an Uchiha?
S.U.
My writing went away and I pulled put cloths for the day. I put on a black shirt with the Uchiha fan and black pants. I glanced at the scroll and read what Itachi wrote,
Sasuke,
Yes he was an Uchiha. And to answer your next question no, I did not kill him. He died before that day. You should ask Kakashi about him. Obito was his team mate.
I.U.
My eyes widened and I looked at the clock. It was close to the time the academy started. I scribbled a note to my brother.
Itachi,
Oh I see. I have to go now. The academy starts soon. I'll write back asd soon as I can.
S.U.
I looked around one more time. Every thing was the same before I ran away to that snake bastard. I shuddered remembering him. Tossing on my ninja sandals I climbed out my window and jumped on the roofs to the academy.
Naruto's P.O.V.
'I stood on the Hokage Tower over looking my village. Things were not looking good, I knew that. The whole left side was destroyed and they were working on the right.
"Hokage-sama!" A female said. I turned my head to see the medic assistant run over to me.
"Sir Hinata Hyuuga needs you. She's going to die soon." My eyes widened. I wasn't that dense. I knew she liked me, maybe even loved me. And I liked her since the academy days. Melting into the wind I left the girl on the roof.
I started running even before I was fully materialized. Turning a corner I ran into Sakura. I grabbed her before she could fall.
"Naruto." She cried. I sighed and let her go. The pinkette fell to the ground in a crumpled heap of tears. Moving three days down, I opened the door and stepped in closing the door.
"N-Naruto, you came." Hinata whispered. I moved closer to to her bed. My heart stopped as I looked her over.
"H-Hinata, I'm sorry." I chocked out as took her hand. Her pale eyes looked up at me and she blushed.
"Naruto r-really, it's fine. I just wanted t-to say something." She smiled and closed her eyes. I knew she didn't have long, her pulse was weakening. I had to tell her now.
"Listen, Hinata I-I love you. I always loved you, I was just afraid you didn't like me back." I said as I squeezed her cold hand. The lavender eyed woman opened her eyes. She pulled me closer and breathed deeply. Raising her head Hinata touched her lips to mine.
Pulling back Hinata sighed and closed her eyes for the last time.'
I blinked and stared up at the ceiling. Looking over at the clock I propped myself up and swung my legs to the floors. I stood and stretched out my sore limbs.
"That's not going to happen." I said scratching an itch. I changed into a black shirt, an orange jacket with the Uzumaki symbol and black pants. I shuffled over to the refrigerator and bent over.
"What do I have to eat?" I thought out loud opening it. Moving things around I settled on a apple and closed it taking a bite. I chewed thinking of every thing I was going to change. Listing off the last thing I tossed the core and put on my blue ninja sandals. I mentally added going shopping to the list.
I sighed and walked out the door and locked it. Taking a deep breath I took off jogging.
Sai's P.O.V
'The wind whipped around me as I flew over the land. I swooped down lower an my ink bird. There was broken trees, craters littered the ground, and kunai and other weapons stuck to everything.
A chakra flare went off to my right. I knew that signature, it was Shikamaru. Putting way the scroll and brush I let my bird drop closer to the ground.
"Hello Shadow Stealer. Do you need help?" I asked as I flipped to the ground.
He chuckled at my nickname and shock his head. "No, I'm going to die anyways." He sighed. "How troublesome. Here."
He threw a scroll at me. "Give that to Temari. Tell her I love her, will ya?" Shikamaru took out a kunai and positioned it above his heart. The other ninja did the same, each with wide eyes and shaking hands.
Shikamaru smirked and said, "What a drag, that Hidan was on to something. Sai, take my body to Temari please." He sighed and drove the kunai trough his heart. He fell back and looked up to the clouds passing by.'
I woke up in a cold sweat. Drawing in a breath I jumped out of bed. Looking around I picked up my scroll I keep my ink in.
Putting it back down I said, "I wonder if that bastard will let me go." Walking across my small room I opened the dresser and pulled out a mesh shirt, a dark green shirt and black pants.
Pulling on the last thing someone knocked on the door. A second later Danzo himself opened the door. I bowed and gave him a fake smile.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" I asked as I straightened and pulled on fingerless gloves. He said nothing for a minute, just studying me.
"You're going to the Ninja Academy. It starts in 10 minutes. Go now." He said before he closed the door. I smiled, I was going to be on Sakura's team again.
Grabbing my scroll I walked out of my room then the Root building. Sighing I ran to the academy.
Normal P.O.V. Ninja Academy
Everything was in uproar in a certain class room. The girls were swooning around the Uchiha, the blond was trying to wake the Hyuuga heiress, and the pinkette was sitting calmly on the teacher's desk.
The door opened and in walked a scared jonin. He sighed and walked down the steps to the front of the class. Sakura was the only one to see him.
"Hi Iruka-sensei!" She said loud enough for the whole class to hear. Sakura smiled and jumped off the desk and made her way to the desk Sasuke was at. She pushed the dumbfounded girls aside and sat next to the grateful Uchiha.
"Thank you Sakura." Sasuke said as he leaned back and relaxed. She nodded and looked at her going-to-be blond team mate. She smirked and poked Sasuke.
He 'Hn'ed and looked at what she was pointing at and smirked. Naruto sure was a dobe in love. Both shook their heads and watched Iruka.
"Now I will read off the list of teams." Both sat back and thought of things intil he called out their team.
"... Team 7, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki..." The three gennin cheered, waking up Hinata. The Hyuuga looked from the cheering three to Iruka. Naruto looked over and hugged her.
"Hinata! I'm sorry I made you faint." He let her go and watched her. "Do you want to go get some ramen for lunch?" Hinata blushed and nodded pushing her fingers together.
Naruto was going to hug her again but was interrupted by Iruka.
"Team 7 will have another member." Iruka turned to the door and said, "You can come in now." Everyone turned to look at the stranger that would come in. There was shuffling and the door rolled open . Sai Stepped in and closed the door behind him. Whispering started as he went to the front of the class.
"Hello, my name is Sai." He said as he turned to face Iruka. The scared teacher nodded and Sai walked to Sakura's and Sasuke's table. Sakura smiled and pulled the dark haired boy down close to her. The Uchiha sighed and scooted closer to the edge of the chair.
The four time travelers shut Iruka out as he finished calling off the teams. Sakura and Sai held hands under the table. Sasuke looked out the window wishing to be looking for Tayuya. Naruto was talking quietly to Hinata.
"After lunch meet back here. Your senseis will come and pick you up." Iruka said as the bell rang. The gennin piled out of the class room as five others used the window.
Sasuke took off running to the west, turning on his Sharingan. Sakura and Sai went down the road to a small restaurant. Naruto looked down at Hinata and helped her stand slowly.
"Sorry Hinata. I forgot to warn you." He said as he scratched the back of his head. Hinata smiled and blushed.
"I-Its okay Naruto. S-so were a-are w-we going?" The Hyuuga asked. Naruto smiled and took her hand.
"To the best place in town! Ichiraku Ramen, believe it!": Naruto said as he took off. Hinata trailing behind him, blushing.
Sasuke's P.O.V.
'I have to find her!'I thought as I summoned more snakes. 20 more snakes slithered away, each checking a mile radius. I was about to use the Grand Fireball Jutsu to burn the whole forest down. Then a white snake came back. I stopped my running and picked it up.
"I found her boss." It said. Sighing a breath of relief I put it back down. It slithered away and I followed. Sometime later we came to a small clearing with a stream going through the middle.
The snake climbed on top of a rock and disappeared. I jumped on top of it and looked over the edge. Curled up into a ball was a red headed girl. She wore a white shirt and green pants. Jumping down I watched her sleep.
The snake poofed away and she stirred. She blinked once and focused her eyes on me. She sat up as I came closer.
"Hello. I'm Sasuke. It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you." I coaxed her to come closer.
"I'm T-Tayuya." She said as she held out her hand. I smiled and took it. Standing I helped her up. Tayuya wobbled and I caught her.
"Thank you." She said as she passed out. I sighed and took her home leaving her a note.
Sakura's P.O.V
Said and I went to a small restaurant not far from the academy. It was nice, quite, and cheap. We sat in a booth in the back.
"Its been a while since we went out, hasn't it Sakura?" Sai asked. I looked up from my salad and nodding.
"Yeah. What about a year? That war really tore up Konoha." I said as I forked a tomato. Sai nodded and ate his ramen. I popped the tomato in my mouth and chewed. This restaurant was one of our favorite places to go before it was destroyed.
It was good to see everyone today. I really missed Ino talk about shopping and Kankuro. Even though Kankuro won't be here for another few months.
"Ino and Kankuro?" Sai asked. I blushed and nodded. That's what I liked about Sai, he could read me. He sighed and leaned back in the booth. We finished our meal and waved for the waitress to come.
"Is that all?" She asked. I shook my head and ordered a piece of cake and a bento box to go. She took my order and left. Sai looked over to me.
"The cake is for us and the bento box for Sasuke. Knowing him he took off looking for Tayuya and didn't eat." I explained. He smiled and stood up. The waitress came back and we split the bill. Sai held the food as we walked back to the academy.
Naruto's P.O.V.
I slid onto a stool as Hinata did the same. I smiled as I looked at her. Ayame came over and looked at us.
"Oh, I see. Naruto 's got a girlfriend." She said as she winked. Hinata blushed and I sputtered.
"N-no! We're not going out!" I yelled. She chuckled and looked at Hinata.
"So what do you want?" Ayame asked.
"The usual for me." I said.
"S-some chicken ramen please." Hinata said as she played with her fingers. Ayame got to work and I turned to Hinata.
Leaning closer to her I whispered, "Don't worry about Ayame. She likes to tease. I only said that because I didn't ask you out yet." Leaning back I saw her go red.
"Here you two go." Ayame said as she set the bowls down. We thanked her and reached for chopsticks. Our hands brushed as we reached for the last pair.
"Oh sorry, looks like those are the last pair." Ayame smiled slyly as she went to the back room. I took them and broke them apart.
"Well, we'll feed each other then." I said as I grabbed some of her noddles and held it out for her. Hinata blushed and opened her mouth. We fed eatch other until every thing was finished.
Standing I put the money on the counter and saidgood-bye. We left hand in hand to the academy.
me:wow! a little more then i expected... oh sorry the lines are short. cant really tell when im writing in my jornal... R&R please!
